Era: 1979 From mountain man to richest man

Chapter 189 Class Reunion

It's mid-September.

To be honest, Song Chaoyang participated in a class reunion in his previous life, but later became completely uninterested in collective activities such as class reunions.

In his opinion, it was nothing more than a group of people who had studied together getting together to have a meal.

Talk about your current situation while eating.

A few years after I was born in society, my living environment was different, and my classmates’ outlook on life was all kinds of strange.

Being with such a group of people with different views is not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

Most people just have a meal and then break up and go home.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there are still people who can make big deals and develop personal connections.

But Song Chaoyang didn't see it anyway.

I just heard that a certain male classmate and his first love got together again, and both parties had families. After the incident was exposed, they both got divorced.

So when he first heard the invitation to the class reunion, Song Chaoyang's first reaction was that he didn't want to go.

After all, it feels like there is no use in going there.

It’s nothing more than a group of people eating and drinking together.

But later he changed his mind and felt that he should still go to the class reunion.

After all, he has never experienced a classmate reunion in this era. Maybe his classmates in future generations will be very different.

And if you think more utilitarian, the country will soon usher in reform and opening up.

Maybe there will be one or two businessmen among these people in the future. Isn't it just a trip? It won't be a hassle to contact them.

There was nothing to lose by going, so Song Chaoyang planned to go there as a way to experience a class reunion in the late 1970s.

On Sunday, Song Chaoyang and Qin Tie got on the tractor early in the morning and headed towards the county seat.

The reason why Qin Tie went there was mainly because he and Song Chaoyang were going to the provincial capital railway station on Monday to pick up the first batch of goods sent from Shanghai.

After Dong Qiushi returned by plane, he was very efficient.

Originally, Song Chaoyang thought it would take half a month to arrive, but he got it right away.

The paint on the shelves that Song Chaoyang had originally ordered hadn't even dried yet.

I didn’t even think about who would go to see this store.

I originally thought that the second brother and sister-in-law would do it, but after the earthquake, the second brother's reputation in the village became much higher.

He is not too interested in doing business, and there is a high probability that he will take over the position of captain in the future.

As for sister-in-law Qin Rou, she will definitely not be separated from her second brother.

So we have to find other people for this matter.

But Song Chaoyang really didn't expect anyone else in the family to be suitable.

Dad is currently designing and rebuilding the Taoist temple with Lao Baitou, who came here a few days ago.

Construction has now begun.

He definitely couldn't count on it.

It’s even more impossible for me to handle all the miscellaneous things at home without her.

If I let my mother go to the city to do business, someone will have to do all the messy things at home.

My sister-in-law can do it even if she wants her to take over my mother's task. She is not that powerful yet.

As for his second and third uncles, or those cousins, Song Chaoyang didn't consider them at all.

He didn't want to feel the stabbing sensation in his back.

Looking for them is almost the same as looking for his third uncle Song Shoubao.

So he hadn't thought about it all the time. He also planned to find out during this class reunion to see if any of his classmates were willing to do this.

If they really can't find anyone, they can only let Qin Tie watch and recruit people at the same time.

By the way, I just mentioned Third Uncle.

A few days ago, the trial of Zhu Xiao's case was completed.

Their gang was involved in major crimes, and there were a total of six people who wanted to be shot.

Of course, this does not include Third Uncle.

The third uncle's fraud at the station was not very serious.

He was sentenced to one and a half years in prison.

His new wife Shi Lan was released directly because she was not involved in any crime.

But in this case, the marriage between the two people could not be saved, so Shi Lan waited for her third uncle to come out and get a divorce.

The third uncle can be said to have exhausted all his mechanisms, and in the end it was all in vain.

After he was sentenced, the uncle's family was very happy.

It was all about schadenfreude and no other emotions.

Their family was quite proud these days. Although Song Chaofeng did not marry the leader's daughter, Song Li married Zuo Qiang and became a city dweller.

After the earthquake, the uncle and his wife were not busy coming back to look at the house. They still stayed there for several days before coming back.

His family was last in line when the brigade arranged to repair dilapidated buildings.

When it was almost ten o'clock at noon, Song Chaoyang and the others finally arrived at the county town.

I don't know if it was my imagination, but after Zhu Xiao was sentenced, there seemed to be a lot less people on the street wearing sleazy clothes.

I only saw a few people on the way down. The previous scene of small groups gathering at the intersection and smoking cigarettes was completely gone.

It seems that this can be regarded as a relatively successful attempt to scare the monkeys.

The class reunion will be gathered at the gate of the high school before eleven o'clock, so there is still some time.

Song Chaoyang went to the store first.

Today the facade is wide open, and new glass containers are placed inside for ventilation.

You can smell the paint.

The eldest sister Song Xue is sweeping the dust with a broom at the door.

In addition, Gou Wazi and Xiao Ronger were sent over.

They couldn't stay in the countryside with their grandparents and clamored for their mother, so they were sent to the construction site. The eldest sister happened to be helping Song Chaoyang with the container work, so they followed her.

Seeing Song Chaoyang coming over, Gou Wazi immediately ran over and called him Third Uncle affectionately.

Song Chaoyang touched his head and told the child not to play in front. The smell was strong here, so it would be better to stay in the backyard.

"By the way, where are Song Yu and Xiao Rong'er?" Song Chaoyang asked the eldest sister.

The eldest sister put down the broom and said:

"I followed Teacher Luo to Xinhua Bookstore early in the morning."

"Just at the intersection on the other side of the street, there is a new Xinhua Bookstore in the south of the city. It is very crowded."

"Oh..." Song Chaoyang nodded.

There are now two Xinhua Bookstores in the county.

There is one in the south of the city and one in the north.

Song Chaoyang asked again:

"Why didn't Gouwazi go?"

No need for the eldest sister to answer, Gou Wazi said:

"I don't like reading."

"..." Song Chaoyang was speechless. This kid didn't even read comic books.

Let yourself not know what to say.

But he is still young at the moment, and maybe he will change in the future.

There is no rush for this moment.

Since the last incident of the little girl at school, Cheng Jiaojiao, who had her head broken by him, was expelled from the school.

Cheng Jiaojiao's parents also like to mention the labor reform package for several years.

Afterwards, their grandparents came to the school to make trouble, but it had no effect.

The school called the police directly, and the couple immediately ran away in fear.

If they are caught, Cheng Jiaojiao will go from hard mode to hell mode.

After this incident, the little girl and Luo Qian became close to each other.

Luo Qian helped a lot in this matter, and she has gained a lot of favorability with the little girl.

As soon as school was out, the two of them went to the bookstore together.

By the way, this girl Xiao Ronger also went. "This door needs to be renovated. The floor tiles at the door are not flat and need to be padded."

The eldest sister Song Xue responded:
"I will come over to paint the floor tiles in the afternoon when the door is being renovated. I told Sister Feng from the street office about the floor tiles. She said that someone would come over to do it in the afternoon."

"Okay." Song Chaoyang nodded. He felt relieved that the eldest sister would do things.

The eldest sister said to him:
"There's nothing wrong with me here. Don't you feel at ease with me watching over you?"

Song Chaoyang shook his head and said with a smile:

"I didn't say don't worry, I just repeated it so you don't forget."

The eldest sister rolled her eyes:
"How can we forget? By the way, aren't you going to attend the class reunion?"

"The time is almost up now, don't be late and let people wait."

Song Chaoyang responded, then took out the money and handed it to the elder sister:

"Okay, you guys can take care of lunch yourself. Qin Tie will also eat here."

"I'll come back tonight and cook a big dinner for you."

"No need for money, I have money." The eldest sister waved her hand and pushed back the money Song Chaoyang took out to buy vegetables and meat.

After speaking, he pointed behind him:

"Besides, there is no shortage of food and meat in the kitchen."

"Hurry up and go to the class reunion."

Hearing what the eldest sister said, Song Chaoyang stopped being polite. He glanced at his watch, then nodded:
"Okay, I'll go to the class reunion first."

After speaking, he patted Qin Tie on the shoulder.

Then he got on the tractor and gave the driver directions.

Heading towards the high school at that time.

When he was about to reach the gate of the high school, Song Chaoyang remembered that the high school where he originally studied had four gates. At that time, my mother had not mentioned which gate it was.

Fortunately, the high school is not particularly large, so it doesn’t take long for the tractor to circle around it.

So Song Chaoyang asked the tractor master to circle around the school. When he finally reached the east gate, Song Chaoyang saw several people standing at the door.

The memory of the original owner appeared in his mind, and he confirmed that these people were all classmates in high school.

So he stopped the tractor.

A few people were bragging and spanking, but they didn't pay attention when they heard the sound of the tractor. After all, this is a relatively prosperous road section, and tractors, trucks, and jeeps often pass by.

It wasn't until they turned their attention to the tractor that they realized Song Chaoyang was on it.

"Ouch, Song Chaoyang! Your kid is actually here!"

The latest person to greet Song Chaoyang was a short boy with a round face.

Song Chaoyang nodded to him:
"Hu Min."

In addition, he greeted everyone else one by one:

"Hu Jia, Li Xiaoze, Guo Chao, Liu Chong..."

The last one looks older, very strong, with naturally curly hair, and a bit of a beard that has begun to take shape.

Song Chaoyang paused, and then shouted:
"Monitor."

Hu Peng nodded.

The few of them with the surname Hu all belong to the Hu family's compound near the county town.

Counting a few people together, they are still a bit close to each other.

Squad leader Hu Peng asked Song Chaoyang:
"Why are you here alone? Didn't you come with Xu Jing?"

Song Chaoyang was startled:
"Why should I come with her?"

The memory of the original owner suddenly flashed through his mind, and the appearance of a girl appeared for a moment.

At this time, Hu Peng had not yet spoken, and the active Hu Min said:
"She is responsible for informing you. Of course she will come with you."

After that, he said cheerfully:

"And who doesn't know that she likes you... Hahaha..."

Hu Peng also smiled and said:
"That's right, you've graduated, there's no need to avoid suspicion, right!?"

"Some of our classmates are already married."

"Are you two getting close too?"

After saying these words, before Song Chaoyang could answer, he felt that the face of the classmate named Li Xiaoze around him turned dark.

Song Chaoyang shook his head and said:

"Don't talk nonsense, we have no contact."

Hu Peng and Hu Min were both startled, and the answer was a bit unexpected.

At this time, Li Xiaoze, who was silent on the side, sneered:
"Oh, no contact, then how did you receive the notification?"

Song Chaoyang glanced at him and felt a slight hostility from the other party, but he still explained to the others:

"She told my mother, but she didn't see me."

Others had different expressions.

Some people nodded, some didn't seem to believe it.

Monitor Hu Peng patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Hey, just come. I thought you would be far away from coming, but I didn't expect that you actually rented a tractor by yourself."

After that, he looked at Song Chaoyang's clothes and said:

"Looking at your outfit, you are much better than us!"

Hu Min also came up and asked Song Chaoyang:
"Is it specially made for this class reunion?"

"This doesn't look cheap. Have you made a fortune?"

"How can I make a fortune..." Song Chaoyang waved his hand.

Hu Min came over and looked at it carefully:

"You're being modest, aren't you? Your clothes look like high-end goods!"

Guo Chao, who had been silent at this time, also noticed Song Chaoyang’s attire and stared at the pen in his pocket:
"And this pen, it's the Hero Silver Pen, right?"

Hu Min looked at it and said in surprise:
"Ouch, damn! It's true!"

"Old Song, have you made it?"

"Tell me honestly, did you steal or rob?"

"..." Song Chaoyang was speechless.

But before everyone could discuss it, a new classmate arrived.

Everyone greeted their classmates one after another.

In addition, it was a female classmate who came this time, so these boys immediately turned their attention to the girls.

In this era, most people plan to get married and have children, so when they see female classmates, they are more positive.

At this time, a girl came over and said hello to Song Chaoyang:
"Song Chaoyang disappeared like this, he seems to be doing well!"

The girl was petite, probably only reaching Song Chaoyang's chest.

However, her facial features are exquisite and her face is smiling, as if it is a warm spring breeze.

After searching in his memory, Song Chaoyang greeted:
"Lin Miao."

This person was from the county. He had been at the same table with Song Chaoyang before, but the two had no contact at that time.

Now he actually took the initiative to say hello to him.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, old classmate. What are you doing now?" Lin Miao seemed to be very interested in Song Chaoyang, looking him up and down.

"I'm reviewing to prepare for the college entrance examination." Song Chaoyang responded.

"Ah, that's a coincidence, he's the same as me." Lin Miao said with some surprise.

At that time, there were not many people in the class who were going to college. Song Chaoyang heard Lin Miao's words and asked:
"Well, I wonder how many of our classmates are planning to study for college entrance exams?"

Lin Miao said:

"There are only a few. Our squad leader, Li Xiaoze, Qi Yan, and you and me. That's all I know. I haven't had much contact with the others."

After saying that, she stared into Song Chaoyang's eyes and asked softly:
"Do you have enough review materials? Do you want me to lend them to you?"

Before Song Chaoyang could answer, he was tapped on the shoulder.

When I turned around, I found it was Hu Min.

He pushed Song Chaoyang and pointed not far away:
"Old Song, your Xu Jing is here!"

"Hurry up and get over there. That bitch Li Xiaoze is coming over."
