Back to 1984: Let's Work Hard Together to Raise The Kids!-Chapter 195: The Ritual of Visiting as Guests
Qu Zhiyang was startled, panicked for a moment, but quickly regained his composure, "Mom, don’t say that, it was my deskmate who invited me to his house!"
"Oh," Yang Caifeng elongated the sound meaningfully, obviously not believing, with an interrogative look, "Tell me honestly! Is your deskmate a boy or a girl, what does their family do?"
Seeing his mom’s increasingly invasive questions, Qu Zhiyang immediately defended loudly, "My deskmate’s grandpa is someone you’ve met, during my high school entrance exams, his grandfather had quite a pleasant chat with grandpa."
Initially spectating, Old Man Qu suddenly stood up, "It’s Old Lin’s grandson! For three years I’ve been fishing at Nanxi, the biggest fish I caught was a twelve-pound white carp, which your few uncles netted out for me, that guy is definitely bragging!
No way! This time, I’m going with you to take a look and have a good talk with him."
Old Man Qu was always bitter about this, if it weren’t for his grandson’s heavy school workload, he would have said something long ago, now that the opportunity is here, he’s not going to let it go.
Yang Caifeng and Qu Zhiyang exchanged a glance, both seeing rescue signals in each other’s eyes.
She turned to run, but Qu Zhiyang caught her, "Mom! Weren’t you curious? Perfect time to go together! Save me from being unable to control grandpa alone!"
Yang Caifeng’s well-maintained beautiful face instantly fell, "Can we not go?"
"What do you think?" Qu Zhiyang looked at her with a sinister expression, as if saying "You asked for it, figure it out yourself."
Yang Caifeng was powerless against her son, so when her husband, Qu Junshan, came home from work, she immediately clung to him, "Arrange some time these days for a family outing and a visit to our son’s classmate’s home, Dad’s going too!"
Words of refusal were swallowed back by Qu Junshan, face full of confusion, "How did you persuade Dad?"
That old man has been "unsocial" since retirement, apart from fishing, he doesn’t involve himself in anything, not even entertaining old subordinates visiting. Yet Yang Caifeng managed to convince him to visit the son’s classmate’s house, is the sun rising from the west?
Yang Caifeng chuckled dryly, knowing she couldn’t hide from the sharp-minded man in front of her, so she had to recount today’s events truthfully.
Qu Junshan was instantly speechless, "Are you visiting or looking for trouble? What if they kick us out?"
Yang Caifeng pursed her lips, rubbing her chin, "Can’t be! As Zhiyang said, his deskmate is polite and gentle, very popular, maybe just from an ordinary family, but definitely well-mannered.
Parents who teach well-behaved top students must be easy to get along with."
Though uncertain, she believed her son wouldn’t deceive her.
Thinking of this, she decided to go out tomorrow and buy a couple of outfits, visiting requires making her son proud, can’t dress too casually.
So before work the next day, she specifically went to a clothing store owned by a friend and picked two sets of rather expensive clothes, going to work beautifully.
Lin Qin had just come out of the director’s office and couldn’t help teasing her when she saw her looking triumphant, "Did you strike it rich today?"
Yang Caifeng waved the bag in her hand, swayed her hips as she sat at her desk, and said cheerfully, "Shopping makes people happy, going out with my son in a few days, gotta dress up nicely!"
Lin Qin gave her a thumbs up and continued working.
After finishing her tasks, she remembered that it seemed Ping’an said he would invite classmates over, students from A-One always have real knowledge and bright futures, she too needed to dress up well, avoid embarrassing her son.
So Lin Qin specifically got close to Yang Caifeng, admiring her clothes in the process.
Seeing her interest, Yang Caifeng immediately offered to take her there after work.
Lin Qin made the trip, ordered ten sets in one go, two sets for Yaya, two sets selected for Ping’an and Lin Yi and Chen Wenjun, she also picked two sets for herself.
Spending almost a thousand bucks in one go.
Even Yang Caifeng was startled.
"My goodness, you really are a bona fide rich lady, such a large sum just like that, without batting an eye."
The shop owner playfully flattered, "You’re all well-off, Sister Lin came for the first time, and only bought so much to give you face."
Lin Qin smiled, seeing the shop owner was quite eloquent, she nodded in agreement, "Thanks, Sister Yang, for broadening my horizons."
Yang Caifeng snorted, rolled her eyes, but was in a great mood.
After returning, she immediately shared this as a dinner gossip with Qu Junshan, "No idea what background our unit’s Lin Qin has, after working together for so many years, I still don’t know what her family does! Just know besides working she invests in businesses outside, tsk tsk tsk, nearly a thousand bucks, just spent like that!"
It’s not that she can’t spend such money, but the Qu family’s background can’t be so extravagant.
Qu Junshan isn’t interested in women’s stuff, only half-heartedly echoed.
Soon, it was the day Chen Ruiyu invited Qu Zhiyang over.
Yang Caifeng got up early to dress up, but when she went downstairs, the whole family was waiting for her.
She nonchalantly picked up her bag, "Let’s go! Hurry up!"
Qu Junshan was somewhat helpless, but said nothing, turning to drive.
Following the directions provided by Qu Zhiyang, Qu Junshan drove to near Nanxi, looking at the vast area, he looked around, "Then what? Which way?"
Old Man Qu laughed, "I’m familiar with this area, let’s go! Take you guys fishing!"
Yang Caifeng’s face darkened, she didn’t dress up meticulously to fish, "Dad! Don’t forget our main purpose!"
Old Man Qu chuckled awkwardly and kept silent.
Qu Zhiyang got out first, looked around the surroundings, mumbled, "No mistake! But where’s the house? Just a storage room!"
He shouted loudly, "Chen Ruiyu! Where are you?"
Shortly, the tightly closed shutter door beside him was opened from the inside.
Chen Ruiyu appeared right in front of him.
Qu Zhiyang was startled, "This is your house?"
Chen Ruiyu just was about to speak, happened to see the car coming not far away.
Qu Zhiyang scratched his head embarrassedly, "My parents and my grandpa insisted on coming with me, you don’t mind, right?"
Chen Ruiyu shook his head and pushed the shutter door up, "Good time for Uncle to drive the car in."
Only now did Qu Zhiyang realize it was a garage inside, not only parked with several tricycles and bicycles, but also a Passat.
His pupils shook, jumping exaggeratedly, running over to admire that car, "Your family’s?"
Chen Ruiyu nodded, "My dad occasionally drives it out for business talks. Today he’s home, so the car hasn’t been moved."
"Wow! Didn’t expect your family to be so cool!" Qu Zhiyang’s understanding of Chen Ruiyu was refreshed.
Ever more curious about the Chen family.
At this time, Qu Junshan had already parked the car well, the family got out of the car, naturally also noticing this Passat.
