Chapter 38 Can't keep up with the changes(1/2)
Xiao Yuxuan took his sister to the home of her class teacher, Teacher Xiong, to pay her respects. Speaking of which, Xiao Yuxuan was no stranger to Teacher Xiong, because Teacher Xiong was also his political teacher in his second and third years of high school.
During this period, Xiao Yuxuan's polite words such as "thank you", "please", and "trouble" came out in various shapes. Teacher Xiong also patted his chest and promised, "I will definitely take care of Chen Yumo's registration for the art exam."
"It will be done well", "I will definitely supervise Chen Yumo's study" and so on. In the end, Teacher Xiong politely asked for a meal, but Xiao Yuxuan declined it on the pretext that he had something to do.
"This person has changed so much!" Teacher Xiong couldn't help but sigh after sending Xiao Yuxuan out.
"What do you mean?" Teacher Xiong's wife certainly didn't know where this emotion came from.
"Let me tell you, this Xiao Yuxuan..." Teacher Xiong pointed in the direction of the door and said, "This Xiao Yuxuan was a famous problem student in our school back then.
You can hit your classmates directly on the head with a brick, but you can’t tell it in person, right?"
The wife felt unbelievable: "Really? The polite person he looked at just now is completely different from the person you mentioned!"
"Isn't that right? Back then, his head teacher often complained to several of our teachers, saying that this Xiao Yuxuan was very unambiguous when it came to fighting, but he was very introverted. He talked to him for a long time without replying a word.
. If you look at just now again, how else could I say that people have changed a lot!"
After hearing this, the wife asked casually: "How is his academic performance?"
Let me tell you a joke. Before Teacher Xiong even started telling the joke, he was already laughing: "I remember one time his head teacher complained to me and said that he wanted to be included in the 'Parents' Message' column on Xiao Yuxuan's report card.
Write the words 'This student has stable grades and strong practical ability', haha..."
The wife didn't get the joke and asked in confusion: "What do you mean? What's so funny about this?"
Teacher Xiong then gestured with his hands to answer the question: "The results are stable, which means you are at the bottom every time you take the test, and there is no sign of improvement at all; you have strong hands-on ability, which means you often get into fights."
"Go away! How can any teacher prepare his students like this?" The wife scolded with a smile, and then asked: "What art exam are you talking about just now?"
Teacher Xiong replied: "Well, didn't I tell you just now that Xiao Yuxuan's grades were poor? He took the art exam back then and finally got admitted to a good university. I have forgotten the specific school! I guess he took the art exam.
He's reaping the benefits. No, he wants his sister to take the art exam like him. Her sister's grades are not that good either. If she performs well, she can pass the third level."
The wife was a little disdainful: "I don't know what these parents think. If their grades are not good, they will take the art exam. It seems to take advantage of the low cultural score in the art exam, but what will their children do when they find a job in the future?"
But Teacher Xiong didn't take it seriously: "Nowadays, college students are worthless. If you don't get a master's degree, where can you find a good job with a doctorate? You have time to worry about, so why not take care of your son's study? I can save some worry and try to get a good job."
He can get into a prestigious university."
"Oh, I'm the only one who dares to love my son? I can stand and talk without pain, as if you have taken care of my son's studies." The wife immediately retorted with dissatisfaction, and then said mysteriously: "You are a student, and your family is in good condition, right?
The things I brought you here are not cheap at first glance, tsk tsk..."
Teacher Xiong shook his head: "His family conditions are probably not very good. When giving gifts, the packaging is all about looking good. Don't take it seriously!"
The wife immediately became unhappy: "Do you understand or do I understand? Let me tell you, take this set of cosmetics as an example. It costs thousands of dollars. I can't bear to buy this brand at all."
Teacher Xiong immediately lost his composure: "Really or fake? Such an expensive thing? No, I have to call and ask. Is it really so expensive that I have to give it back..."
The wife immediately patted Teacher Xiong on the arm: "Why retreat? I just said that casually and you take it seriously? If you really call me and ask, what if people mistakenly think that you dislike the things? There is also wine, don't do it."
After drinking it, I will go to my house to pay New Year greetings and bring it to my dad on the second day of the Lunar New Year, so I don’t have to buy any more wine."
"Why can't I drink the wine my student brought me?" Teacher Xiong no longer mentioned the phone call, but became very reluctant: "Let me see what brand this is... brandy... No, I don't want this wine.
I’ve never seen it before, I really need to try it!”
The wife made the final decision: "Well, don't open the wine yet. As usual, bring it to my dad when we celebrate the New Year on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Then you can drink it with my dad. That's settled!"
…
After coming out of Teacher Xiong's house, Xiao Yuxuan felt that the trip went smoothly. He thought that he would confirm with Teacher Xiong when the art exam registration days came, so that there would be no changes in his sister's art exam registration.
He took out his cell phone and called his mother, but was told that they would have to wait for a while. Xiao Yuxuan made an agreement with his mother to have a casual meal outside at noon and go shopping together in the afternoon to buy new year's goods.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yuxuan took a taxi with his sister to a commercial street not far from the Civil Affairs Bureau.
After finding a bank, Xiao Yuxuan transferred 80,000 yuan from his card and kept it for himself in case of emergencies. He also took out 20,000 yuan in cash for New Year expenses, and decided to give the remaining 400,000 yuan to his mother for disposal.
It was not until almost noon that Xiao Zening completed the divorce procedures and walked all the way from the Civil Affairs Bureau to the commercial street to meet his children.
Xiao Yuxuan began to watch his mother's expression from a distance, and found that his mother's face was calm. She could not be said to be happy or sad, but her whole person seemed to have shed a layer of baggage, and she looked very relaxed.
Isn’t it just that a layer of baggage has been removed?
During the meeting, both parties made a tacit understanding and did not mention any words related to divorce. Chen Yumo chattered non-stop. Xiao Yuxuan took advantage of the gap between his sister's words to briefly talk to his mother about the registration arrangements for the art exam and the feedback from his master Zhou Xianjun.
Finally, he talked about his thoughts and plans.
"Mom, I will go back to Magic City on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and Momo will go with me. On the one hand, I will pay my respects to my master, and on the other hand, I will also pay homage to the music teacher introduced by my master; next, Momo
You need to study with the teacher to prepare for the art exam; if Momo needs to be at the registration site when registering for the art exam, then I will ask for leave to send Momo back; I will send Momo back after the art exam is over.
Preparing for the cultural exam. In addition, my master suggested that Momo should release one or two musical works. I can write the songs, but the recording and release still require the help of my master and Sister An Zhen. "
Xiao Zening nodded repeatedly.
I didn't think anything of it before, but after getting divorced, I suddenly found that my son seemed to have really grown up. He spoke and acted like the backbone of the family. Suddenly he seemed to have someone to rely on. Xiao Zening, who wanted to be more independent, couldn't help but become emotional.
.
"Yu Xuan, to be honest, Mom and Momo don't understand a lot of what you said. Fortunately, we still have you. You are just a sister, so you should worry more about taking exams and going to school."
"Mom, look what you said, why are you dating me?" Xiao Yuxuan responded with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of all Momo's matters."
Chen Yumo was so excited that she had already rushed to the sky: "Brother, did you say that after the New Year, I would go to the Magic City with you? Can I meet Sister An Zhen? I can also be like Sister An Zhen.
Singing?"
Seeing that his sister was as happy as a bird out of the cage, Xiao Yuxuan was also very happy, but he couldn't help but joked: "Momo, just have fun! When you get to the magic city, you have to learn music-related knowledge during the day, and you have to learn music at night.
Review cultural classes and practice singing when you have time. Let me tell you, your happy days are only a few days away! Are you still happy? Then don’t cry to your mother and say that I abused you! "
Chen Yumo didn't have time to think about it that much. Anyway, if he was happy, it would be over: "I'm also happy to cry, but I want you to control it!"
Xiao Zening was also very happy when he saw the smiling faces of his brother and sister - it seems that this family of three has not had a bad start in their warm little life!
Chen Yumo's eyes moved and she suggested: "Hey...Mom, why don't you go to the Magic City with us? My art exam registration happens to start on the 16th day of the first lunar month. We can come back together at that time. This won't work either."
How about delaying the start of your school?"
Xiao Yuxuan also felt that this plan was very reliable, so he encouraged him and said, "Yes, Mom, just think of it as a trip to relax, how about it?"
Chen Yumo asked again: "Mom, don't you want to see the place where my brother has studied and lived in the past few years? Oh... and the big star Yu Anzhen!"
Xiao Zening has never left Guangyang in these years, except for a teacher training trip to Chengdu. He was actually very moved when he heard this proposal, but when he said it, he turned into: "Let's talk about it based on the situation."
!”
After a pause, Xiao Zening pretended to be casual and asked: "By the way, Yu Xuan, what is your relationship with that Yu Anzhen? You are a student and she is a star. How did you meet?"
Chen Yumo immediately replied: "I know...I know this. My brother can write songs. My brother wrote all the songs in Yu Anzhen's new album, so my brother and Yu Anzhen know each other!"
Chen Yumo answered quickly. She didn't realize that the logic and order of her words were wrong, nor did she realize that her mother's attitude when asking the question clearly showed that the question had a deeper meaning.
Xiao Yuxuan didn't think much at first. When his sister was busy answering, she combined with her mother's expression and realized that she was helpless. After organizing her words, she slowly said: "Mom, don't think too much. I'm so
Let me tell you, Sister An Zhen and I are alumni. We both went to college at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and my master also taught her. On the other hand, we are also partners. I write songs for her and she pays me. Another one,
She and I are indeed close to each other. I regard her as a sister in my heart. Maybe when you have a chance to meet her and ask her to call you godmother, I guess she won't refuse. "
Xiao Zening complained: "You are talking nonsense again. Why should she be my goddaughter if she is a big star? Besides, she must be in her early thirties this year. If you really think about it, I am only ten years older than her.
Can you shout?"
Xiao Yuxuan laughed and said: "So I told you not to think too much, Mom, let me put it this way! If I find a girlfriend, I will not hide it from you. Of course, if I don't find a girlfriend, you won't either
Urgent me, okay?"
Xiao Zening suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Did he behave so obviously just now?
I then compared the smiling son and the daughter who didn’t seem to understand the situation. I couldn’t help but mutter in my heart: My daughter’s slow reaction is understandable because she is young, but what’s going on with this brat? Why did he become so naughty all of a sudden?
You're so good, you can guess everything in your mind?
If you don’t hide it from me when you find a girlfriend, you can have this! If you don’t want to find a girlfriend and you don’t want me to push you, this is not necessarily the case!
Xiao Zening was too lazy to pay attention to his son's words, and abruptly changed the subject: "Hey... didn't you just say that you wanted to find a place to eat? This street is almost at the end, and I don't see anything to eat!"
Wow! It’s true, the mother and son were so busy talking all the way that they didn’t pay attention to the delicious food on both sides.
Xiao Yuxuan was paying attention, but he didn't want to eat at the open store, and the store he wanted to eat was not open.
Chen Yumo still had sharp eyes and pointed at a restaurant and asked, "How about that one?"
"Okay!" Xiao Yuxuan agreed without thinking. He turned to his mother and asked, "Mom, why don't you just listen to Momo and eat pickled fish?"
Xiao Zening nodded in acquiescence.
The restaurant is not big, and although it is lunch time, maybe because of the New Year holiday, there are not many customers.
The three of them ordered a signature dish of pickled fish with a few side dishes. Since there was no need to wait in line to serve the dish, a large bowl full of pickled fish was quickly served.
Pile of vegetables, clear and gray soup, red peppers, green onions, beige sauerkraut and white tender fish, plus baby cabbage, bean sprouts, Qianzhang, a portion of the signature sauerkraut fish is full of color, fragrance and sourness.
The unique aroma of spicy mixed food hits your nostrils, making you want to open your index fingers.
It really lives up to what the boss said - economical, delicious and not expensive.
While distributing bowls and chopsticks, Xiao Yuxuan asked his mother: "Mom, how about we drink something?"
Xiao Zening gave his son a roll of his eyes and scolded him angrily: "You bastard, are you doing this on purpose? If the pot doesn't open, pick up the pot. Stop talking nonsense and eat quickly. See if I can stop you from eating.
