Chapter 162 Why didn’t you pick up some food for him?

After returning home, Xu Ye booked a high-speed rail ticket back to Shanghai at around 1 p.m. tomorrow.

With the money in hand, he planned to go to miHoYo on Tuesday to finalize the matter to avoid any complications.

Zhang Hong and Lao Xu both had to go to work on Monday, but they both returned home early at noon. Lao Xu had more free time at work, so he was responsible for buying vegetables and washing rice and cooking, while Zhang Hong was responsible for cooking after she came back. At noon, the table was full of four dishes and one soup, all of which were Xu Ye's favorites.

"Don't come back after a three-day vacation. It takes a day to go back and forth, and I have to worry about you on the way. In addition, the round-trip ticket also cost a lot of money, right?" Zhang Hong naggled again at the dinner table.

Xu Ye smiled and said, "It won't cost much."

"Let your dad take you to the train station later. He is a veteran in the company, so it doesn't matter if he is late."

"Oh."

Old Xu readily agreed. After lunch, he took the initiative to wash the dishes. Zhang Hong's company had to go to work at 1:30 pm, so after lunch, she stayed at home for a short time and hurriedly rode a donkey back to the company.

Xu Ye went back to the room to pack up his things. When the time was about right, the father and son set off for the train station together.

Old Xu was in a very happy mood and chatted with Xu Ye about a lot of things on the way.

"Your mom must be in menopause, her temper is getting worse and worse..."

"Tell your mom about opening a fruit shop after the Chinese New Year. She works much harder than me. Now that you are capable, she can quit her job early and go home to enjoy a good life."

"How are you and your girlfriend? She didn't dump you, did she?"

"Son, I tell you, you must be honest when you are in a relationship. You should be the same as you are in normal times. If you are deceitful, you will definitely not be happy after marriage."

"I'm talking to you."

Xu Ye rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, if dating is a course, I can probably be your teacher, so don't worry about it."

"Stinky boy."

"Also... if you don't have money in the future, don't secretly take money from mom's bag. Just send me a message. I am considered a small boss in school."

Old Xu shook his head "Your mother is very smart. I used to take money from her bag to buy cigarettes every three or five days. If I don't take money from her bag in the future, she will suspect that I am hiding private money again."

"Smoke less."

"I can't quit."

"I know you go to a foot massage parlor with Lao Wu every month to wash your feet. It's okay to go to a formal one, but don't go to an informal one. If your mother finds out, she will definitely divorce you. I've said in advance that if you divorce, I will definitely go to my mother."

Lao Xu was anxious at the time: "When have I ever been to an informal place?"

Lao Xu quickly explained: "Lao Wu has a cousin who accidentally became blind when he was in his teens. Now he has opened a foot massage parlor for the blind in the street garden. The business is not very good. Lao Wu and I go there to wash feet to take care of his business."

Although Lao Xu is not very capable, he is still very reliable.

After being married to Zhang Hong for so many years, they have never had a quarrel. Even if they occasionally quarrel, Lao Xu usually keeps silent and never yells.

There is one thing Xu Ye remembers very clearly. When he was in junior high school, a classmate stole a pack of cigarettes from home to go to school. After school, this classmate asked several classmates around him who dared to smoke?

Junior high school students are young and frivolous. Seeing several classmates hiding in the alleys and smoking, Xu Ye also asked for a cigarette, lit it, and pretended to be an old smoker.

But before he took two puffs, he was discovered by Lao Xu. Lao Xu, who was always gentle, got very angry. He pulled Xu Ye's ear and dragged him back home with a beating and scolding.

Xu Ye felt very wronged. Being beaten in front of classmates was already very embarrassing. What made Xu Ye even more dissatisfied was that Lao Xu obviously smoked himself, so why did he get so angry when he saw him smoking? Later, when he was eating, in order to show his dissatisfaction, Xu Ye forced himself to eat a bowl of white rice with tears, and did not touch the dishes on the table.

When he hid in the room and felt wronged, he heard Lao Xu yelling at Zhang Hong: "Why didn't you pick up food for him just now? Why didn't you pick up food for him!"

Since then, Xu Ye has never smoked again.

...

Xu Ye got off the bus halfway because he saw a shop selling "radish cakes" was still open.

Radish cakes are a special snack in Jiangzhou City. Even if they are available outside, the taste is definitely not as authentic as those in Jiangzhou City.

When Xu Ye got off the bus, the boss had just fried a pot of radish cakes. Xu Ye spent 25 yuan to buy a pot of radish cakes, and then returned to the car with the bag.

Lao Xu thought Xu Ye was going to take it back for his roommate to eat, so he didn't ask much.

When he arrived at the train station, after checking his ticket and getting on the train, Xu Ye put on headphones and slept while listening to songs. After a long five hours, the high-speed train finally stopped at Hongqiao Station.

Xu Ye took the subway to the Magic City Conservatory of Music first. It was already seven o'clock. Xu Ye arrived downstairs of the girls' dormitory and called Chen Qingqing to come down.

Chen Qingqing had asked last night, and knew that Xu Ye had an afternoon ticket and would arrive in the evening. He thought Xu Ye would go directly back to his school, but he didn't expect him to come to see him.

"This is the radish cake I brought from Jiangzhou. I bought it when it was just out of the oven. It's cold now, but I tried one when I got off the bus just now. It's still edible. You can give it to Zhang Ruowei and the others to try."

"Are you tired?" Perhaps because he had been sitting in the car for an entire afternoon, Xu Ye looked a little listless. Seeing him like this, Chen Qingqing asked casually.

Xu Ye quickly forced a smile and explained, "I'm not tired. I slept all the way. I just look tired."

"Then don't take the subway later. The subway is too slow. Just take a taxi back. Don't save money."

"I know."

Xu Ye smiled and said, "Christmas is Thursday. Do you want me to come and see you?"

Chen Qingqing shook her head and said unexpectedly, "No."

"Why?"

"It takes a long time to come here. The last time I went to your school, I felt very tired when I came back. If you come on the 4th, what will we do on Friday? Will we have to go back early in the morning? "

Xu Ye laughed and said, "So you feel sorry for me."

Chen Qingqing rolled her eyes at Xu Ye and snorted, "No, I am not."

Xu Ye never got tired of seeing Chen Qingqing being shy. He opened his arms and said with a smile, "Hold me for a while, I will go back after a hug."

Chen Qingqing looked up at Xu Ye, then turned her head to look around. Seeing that there were not many people around, she nodded and took two steps forward, and bumped into Xu Ye's arms.

"I'm leaving."

"Yeah."

Xu Ye waved his hand, turned around and walked a dozen steps, then turned around and saw Chen Qingqing still standing blankly at the door of the dormitory.

Xu Ye waved his hand again and said loudly, "Go up, it's cold outside."

Chen Qingqing turned around and went back to the dormitory.
