Chapter 302: The String Girl of Zhusigang

Chapter 302: The String Girl of Zhusigang Guangzhou, Zhusigang Community. Like the Donghu North Courtyard community where Chen Zhuo lives, this is also an old community built in the 90s. However, because it is located in Yuexiu, it has a unique location in the school district, even the Zhixin Middle School, one of the four famous schools, is included. Therefore, until 2020, the housing prices of these "old, dilapidated and small" houses remain high. There is a small three-bedroom house in Zhusigang. It is Yu Xian’s home in Guangzhou and also the most valuable material legacy left to her by her mother. Similarly, this is also something that Tang Xiangyue coveted with drooling. In fact, it has nothing to do with her, but people are just greedy. She thought that since she was married to Yu Xiaoliang, she had the right to interfere in the house and even Yu Xian's future marriage. After eating hotpot at Guangmei, Yu Xian wanted to go home to see his grandmother.

Having been in the capital for so long, although he called every day and Yu Xiaoliang also came over every now and then, Yu Xian was still worried. Chen Zheziran accompanied Yu Xian back to Zhusigang Community. He was very familiar with this place now. In other words, any boy in love may, for a while, be much more familiar with the environment around his girlfriend's home than with the environment around his own home. It’s around 9 o’clock in the evening and there are still quite a lot of people in the community. The aunties who had just finished square dancing were walking home in groups of three or five; Passing by the central square of the community, there were some children playing roller skating; In the fitness lounge area, a few old men sat there smoking and loudly discussing international affairs. Under the bright light of the street lamps, you can vaguely see the excitement on the faces of the uncles. The cigarette butts waving in their hands are like bullets with sparks, each one of which they wish to hit American capitalism. Ordinary and lively, complementing the starry sky; Family and national affairs connect the lights of thousands of people in the world. "I feel like your neighborhood has always been so lively." Chen said with a smile. "Of course." Yu Xian pointed to the shops in the community and said, "It's even busier during the summer vacation. If there's a World Cup or European Cup, the entrance will be full of people." As she was talking, an old lady holding her grandson passed by. She suddenly stopped and said, "Xian Mei'er, where have you been recently? I haven't seen you for a long time." "He speaks Sichuan and Chongqing dialect. Is this a fellow villager?" Chen thought to himself. "Mrs. Qian, I went to the capital to study." Yu Xian curved her long and charming eyes and replied crisply.

"The capital~" An expression of longing suddenly emerged on Granny Qian's face: "I went to Tiananmen Square many years ago and saw the portrait of Chairman Mao..." In the hearts of the older generation, the capital seems to be a powerful spiritual belief, and their eyes light up when they mention it. Chen Zhuo did not urge them. He winked at Qian Po's fat grandson while listening to their rhythmic conversation. Why do we use "ups and downs"? Because that's the tone of Sichuan and Chongqing dialects. For example, "弦妹儿" is pronounced in a straightforward manner in both Mandarin and Cantonese, but only in Sichuan and Chongqing dialects is it pronounced like this: Xian (second tone), Mei (fourth tone), Er (light tone). So cute. After a while, when the fat grandson felt bored and clamored to go home, Grandma Qian looked at Chen Zhe. "Xianmei'er, your old man comes over sometimes." Qian Po said this and glanced at the hands of the two young people holding together. Chen smiled. The old lady from Sichuan and Chongqing was deliberately reminding Yu Xian - your dad comes over often, so be careful not to be seen holding hands. "This is my boyfriend, his name is Chen Zhuo, my old man has met him." Yu Xian didn't mind at all and introduced Chen Zhe openly. Upon hearing that she had met the parents and that it was a formal status, Granny Qian instantly became enthusiastic. "Our sister Xian is very pretty. She is prettier than the stars on TV. She can also cook and do housework. It will be a blessing for your son to marry her." Granny Qian said this with pride, as if Yu Xian was her junior. "Yes Yes." Chen nodded with a smile. "Xian Mei'er is still very strong!" Granny Qian gave a thumbs up and praised: "Her mother passed away, and the old man remarried. We wanted to help her, but she refused and went to work in a convenience store." "I make enough money at the convenience store, Paw, do you need my help?" Yu Xian raised her delicate oval face and said unconvincedly. "This kid has had a stubborn temper since he was young." Granny Qian blamed her for a few words with distress, then said cheerfully: "Now that you've been admitted to university, I heard from your grandmother that educational institutions are now giving extra lessons to kids, and each lesson costs 200 yuan, so you're comfortable now." "Uh-huh……" Yu Xian nodded his chin. In fact, Yu Xian no longer needs to go to the previous training institution for make-up lessons. Senior sister Tong Lan is the current principal of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. Even if Professor Guan Yongyi doesn't say a word, Tong Lan will take the initiative to take care of this direct descendant junior sister.

Taking Yu Xian's temper into consideration, Tong Lan did not give him money directly. Instead, in the name of "work-study program", she asked Yu Xian to take on tasks such as cleaning the studio, managing the safety of the painting center, and managing hand-written newspapers on the bulletin board. It sounds like a lot of things to do, but in reality it only involves simple tasks like collecting waste paper, locking the door, drawing a blackboard newspaper, etc. As soon as Chen Zhuo heard it, he knew that some positions were "designed for the right people". What did that mean? If Yu Xian no longer needs to work part-time one day, this position will be cancelled and no one will take over. Of course, Yu Xian didn't know the twists and turns here. She happily told Chen that she now earns 2000 yuan a month from her part-time job on campus. However, whenever she is not busy, she will still go to the original training institution. This is not for the money, but because she had promised the training class teacher to help take care of the children. "Hey boy, let me tell you..." When Granny Qian saw that Chen had a good attitude, she couldn't help but become talkative. She ignored her fat grandson and enthusiastically talked about some embarrassing things about Yu Xian. It seems that all old people are like this. It starts with the time when Yu Xian was very young and was almost poached to be a child star; Then in elementary school, two little boys fought over being able to sit next to Yu Xian, but Yu Xian only wanted to sit with the girls; When she was in middle school, Yu Xian had already developed a bad temper, and those boys were afraid that she would like her again, so they left their gifts at the gate of the community and ran away; …… One by one, one by one. Chen Zhuo has long known that the pace of life in Sichuan and Chongqing is very slow. People can sit contentedly for an entire afternoon with a pot of tea and a bag of melon seeds. I didn't expect that this old lady from Sichuan and Chongqing could really embody this perfectly. She could start a long-distance fight with someone she just met. In the end, it was because her grandson was making so much noise, and Yu Xian kept persuading her, that Granny Qian left with a sense of unfulfilled desire. "Whoo~" Chen Zhuo then let out a sigh of relief and asked Yu Xian: "Is this the neighbor who watched you grow up? He almost told me all about your dark history of wetting the bed." "You're the one who wet the bed!" Yu Xian pinched Chen Zhuo's palm and said, "If you think about it, Granny Qian knew me before I even started kindergarten." "No wonder I was invited to dinner at home." Chen Zhao suddenly realized that they were really good neighbors. Many old communities are like this. After all, everyone has lived there for many years. Although it looks shabby, there is indeed real affection between neighbors. While the two were talking, some middle-aged and elderly people who were taking a walk passed by. Although they did not speak Sichuan and Chongqing dialects, they took the initiative to greet Yu Xian and looked at Chen Zhe with a curious, gentle and somewhat scrutinizing gaze. "It seems you are still a star in the neighborhood." Chen said with a "tsk tsk". "Of course. I used to help these uncles and aunts take care of their children." Yu Xian had a proud look on his face as a "king of children": "Take them to play, help them with their homework..." "what?" Chen Zhuo suddenly looked at Yu Xian in surprise.

Cos sister, are you drifting? What's the point of your academic performance? You tutor them in their homework, but the math, physics and chemistry levels of the next generation of Zhusigang are worrying. Yu Xian heard the distrust in her boyfriend's tone, her pretty face turned red, and she said fiercely: "Why? I still know addition, subtraction, multiplication and division from kindergarten!" "Hahaha……" Chen Zhuo was amused by the cute and innocent expression of the cosplayer and couldn't help but make a joke: "I have to think twice before arguing with you, after all, you have so many family members." "Who is so useless as to go to his mother's family for a quarrel?" Yu Xian rolled up his sleeves, revealing half of his delicate, snow-white arms, and "threatened" Chen Zhuo: "I can handle it myself~" Under the dancing moonlight, Yu Xian's expression was playful and innocent, her pupils were pitch black, and her thick eyelashes were like a small fan, fluttering on Director Chen's heart again and again. Before they knew it, they had reached the bottom of the building. Chen Zhuo knew that Yu Xian's house was on the second floor. He looked up at the lighted window and asked casually, "What does grandma usually do at home at night?" When Chen Zhuo went on a date with Yu Xian in the past, they would usually go to the movies or something after dinner before sending her home. It was already quite late at that time and there were no one in the neighborhood. Chen would send her downstairs and leave. I got to know so many neighbors early today, some of whom watched Yu Xian grow up. Chen Zhuo, who is particularly sensitive to interpersonal relationships, clearly felt that his and Yu Baibai's identities had undergone new changes. From "getting to know Yu Xian" we have now entered the stage of "getting to know Yu Xian's family". This is actually an important progression in the traditional Chinese view of love and marriage. Because when we Chinese fall in love, we are not just talking to the other person, but often we are also "talking" to her family, her neighbors, and her relatives. Chen Zhuo had met the "old man" Yu Xiaoliang before, and now he has met his neighbor, which basically means that he will "make a full-scale appearance" in Yu Xian's life. Therefore, Chen Zhuo began to take the initiative to ask his grandmother what she was doing, taking the opportunity to understand her daily routine and hobbies. This can be considered a "professional habit" within the system. "do not know." Yu Xian curled her red lips: "Maybe he cursed at people at home because he lost the mahjong game." "what?" Chen was stunned. Yu Xian shrugged her shoulders, her burgundy curly hair bouncing a little: "Grandma has a very good attitude. When she's angry she scolds people, and when she's happy she laughs. You'll know when we meet in the future." "Okay~" Chen thought that Yu Baibai's temper was not like that of his cheap father-in-law, Lao Yu. It might be more like that of his grandmother or mother. But this time is definitely not suitable for visiting, so he waved at Yu Xian: "You go up."

Yu Xian shook his head. Chen Zhuo knew what Yu Baibai meant. Whenever he sent Yu Xian back home, she would always wait downstairs and see him off before leaving. "Then I'll go first." Before Chen left, he gave Yu Xian a gentle hug. Yu Xian also rested her head obediently in her boyfriend's arms, until she felt a hand "playing tricks" on her waist, and a cold breeze blew in through the lifted hem of her clothes. "Hurry up, hurry up, or you'll miss the subway." Yu Xian's cheeks seemed to be stained with light rouge, and she pushed the dog man forward a few steps. Chen Zhuo then waved goodbye with a smile, but when he walked under a big banyan tree, he suddenly turned around. The tall figure still stood there. She would not go upstairs until she could no longer see him. Chen stopped and pointed at the trunk of the banyan tree. The first time they held hands happened here. It was the height of summer, the branches and leaves were lush and my head was covered with sweat. Yu Xian obviously knew this location, but it was a bit far away, so she nodded desperately. Chen responded with a smile, but he didn't laugh out loud. The two of them seemed to be performing a pantomime. After a while, Chen Zhuo suddenly took out the bottle of amber 82 Lafite from his pocket. After opening it, he took a big gulp and then raised the bottle high. Under the reflection of the light, the glass shines brightly like an eternally sparkling diamond. Yu Xian's eyes were tearful. It turned out that Chen Zhuo also always remembered that moment. In Yu Xian's heart, those were the most important moments for the two of them. snort! Director Chen is quite romantic! She was about to run over and hug her boyfriend again. Suddenly, there was a creaking sound from the window on the second floor. Grandma stuck her head out and first glanced at Chen Zhu under the tree, then shouted to Yu Xian: "Xian Mei'er, why don't you come home so late? Do you want to be a claw?" ······ (I still want to ask for a monthly ticket!) (End of this chapter)
