Chapter 0018 Gathering (I)
“Mom, that medicine is very precious, Uncle De just gave me a little bit of it, and it’s all smeared on you, on Godmother’s side wait for me to go back to Zhonghai, then ask Uncle De for some more!”
Zhuang Rui didn’t know if his mother was suspicious, he hadn’t even heard of such a powerful medicine, so he could only make up a few sentences in passing.
Stand up, go to the restroom to wash his face, and so Zhuang Rui back to the living room, Zhuang mother has come out of the room, looks like the waist injury is completely no problem, this will be smiling and hugging granddaughter and Lei Lei Qin Xuan Bing two people to talk about it!
Let Zhuang Rui some surprise is, just now also cold as ice frost on their own ignore Qin Xuan Bing, at this moment but behave very decent, face also with a faint smile, the heart can not help but secretly sigh, women are really elusive animals.
“Xiao Rui ah! Go and call Da Chuan, don’t look for a doctor, this cold day, it’s almost New Year’s, where to find a doctor! Quickly go and call, tell him to come back for dinner.” See Zhuang Rui, Zhuang mother immediately said, but the words did not fall, “knock knock” knock on the door sounded.
Zhuang Rui just opened the door, Liu Chuan hurriedly broke in, a glance to see is and their prospective girlfriend laughing and joking Zhuang mother, could not help but freeze for a moment, he did not understand for a moment, just a moment ago, also painful to speak Zhuang mother, this moment how like nothing like, but Zhuang Rui saw behind him there is a person, and hurriedly will come to the people to the house.
Liu Chuan also came to his senses, first gave a seat to the person he brought, with a puzzled face, asked: “Godmother, your waist is not twisted? How did it get better? Bah …… Bah, look at this crow’s mouth of mine, it’s right that it’s healed, by the way, Godmother, this is Brother Wang, my father’s colleague, let Brother Wang take another look at the injury on your waist!”
“It’s okay, Da Chuan, it was just accidentally twisted, Xiao Rui brought some special medicine from Shanghai, rub it over and it’s fine, it’s New Year’s Eve, what are you bothering Xiao Wang for! Little Wang, I’m sorry! You haven’t eaten yet! Let’s have a meal here!”
Zhuang mother put down the granddaughter in her arms, greeted Zhuang Min on the food, but Liu Chuan father’s colleagues said nothing is willing to stay, said there are still things at home, and did not let Liu Chuan drive to send, Zhuang Rui hastily took two cigarettes just bought from the supermarket stuffed to Wang, will send him downstairs.
“You kid, Wang will not be a forensic doctor, right? The kind that works on corpses all day?”
As soon as he went upstairs, Zhuang Rui pulled Liu Chuan, who was sticking with Lei Lei, to his room and asked in a bad mood.
“Forensic how, Wang is also a graduate of medical school, the hands of the work is not worse than the big hospital doctors, I have to go to thank people specifically on another day, your kid is not appreciated, right, what is your medicine, the effect is so good ah? My mom is always talking about back pain, you turn around and give me some, I go home to my mom to use.”
Dare to say that Liu Chuan also misses the special medicine Zhuang mother said, this person although impulsive character, but very filial, Zhuang Rui is not in, Zhuang mother has something, if his brother-in-law can not go, are Liu Chuan to help.
“The medicine is all used up, that medicine is an old Chinese doctor boiled out, the process is very complicated, when I came Uncle De gave me a little bit, just now they are all used, but it’s fine, in the next two months I will go back to Zhonghai to beg for some more, and then I will send it to my godmother.”
Zhuang Rui said helplessly, the lie still need to continue to make up, one thing happened to him is too bizarre, secondly Liu Chuan this kid straight talker, this thing if you tell him, I’m afraid that in a few days, the people of the earth know.
As for helping Liu mother to cure waist disease, Zhuang Rui also thought well, and so on their own eyes of the aura to get replenished, will give Liu mother to “send medicine”.
Just with the aura of those ancient books are available but not seek, Zhuang Rui is also lucky to get this pair of couplets and manuscripts, the next time I do not know whether there will be such a good opportunity, so Zhuang Rui will say to wait to return to the Middle Sea and then go to seek medicine, according to the idea in his heart, through the uncle De to get acquainted with a number of collectors to play friends, there should be a chance to draw the aura from the hands of the collection of those people.
“Zhuang Rui, Da Chuan, come out to eat, what are you two bad boys muttering in the house, hurry up.”
Zhuang Min pushed open the door of Zhuang Rui’s room and called out to these two younger brothers to go out to eat, in the past when these two boys hid in their rooms, they could always hold back some bad ideas that would make people laugh and cry, Zhuang Min naturally understood her seemingly honest younger brother’s true nature very well.
Usually home on Zhuang Rui mother and son in the two, relatively cold, now come so many people, but some of the New Year’s atmosphere, but Zhuang mother’s performance today let Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan some puzzlement, always very kind Zhuang mother, at the dinner table to show is that they have never seen a side of the dress is the same as usual Zhuang mother, in the hands and feet, actually reveals a kind of nobility, and Lei Lei and Qin Xuanbing Two people, mannerisms also with a trace of reserve, such as the luxury ladies general, make Liu Chuan and Zhuang Rui this meal is very awkward to eat.
Zhuang Rui head injury is not completely good, just drink some red wine, Liu Chuan like white wine, but also to drive, also did not dare to let him drink, in Zhuang Rui intentionally asked, the eyes of the sister’s whereabouts over the years is finally figured out, some things even Liu Chuan is the first time to hear.
It turned out that Lei Lei’s grandfather in that turbulent era, smuggled to Hong Kong, after more than 20 years of hard work, in Hong Kong also created a not so small family business, but also another wife, but in Lei Lei’s grandfather’s heart, for the left behind in the mainland of his wife and daughter have been very attached, in the late 80’s, the early 90’s when he married his wife in Hong Kong passed away, and then rise back to the The idea of going back to the Mainland to look for his family came to him.
Lei Lei’s mother later married a police officer, who happened to be Liu Chuan’s father’s colleague, of course, in their junior high school, and did not know about these relationships, and then Lei Lei’s grandfather found Lei Lei’s mother, knowing that their wives in the Mainland has also died, they want to take their daughters and granddaughters to Hong Kong, Lei Lei’s mother refused, but in order to let their daughters to get a better education, they sent Lei Lei to Hong Kong, which is also the reason why the eyes sister transferred to the missing in that year.
These years Lei Lei will go back to Pengcheng once a year, only to come and go in a hurry, are to see Mom and Dad back to Hong Kong, last year Lei Lei graduated from the University of Hong Kong, into the grandfather’s jewelry company internship for a period of time, this time to come back, but in order to investigate the mainland market market of the jewelry industry, will stay in the mainland for a longer period of time, and this is a special rush to return to Pengcheng to accompany their parents for the Chinese New Year.
Qin Xuan Bing is Lei Lei to Hong Kong after the school to meet the first friend, but also Lei Lei’s best girlfriends, this time is to get Lei Lei’s invitation to come to the mainland to feel the New Year’s atmosphere, as if the business with Lei Lei and some cooperation, but the two did not say much, they two naturally will not be in front of the outsiders to talk about the Qin Xuan Bing is in order to avoid trouble to follow Lei Lei to the mainland.
Lei Lei’s mother who is concerned about her daughter’s life, this is back not even a few days, to Lei Lei arranged several blind dates, but Lei Lei are not much feeling.
In Lei Lei fast impatient time, Dad introduced a colleague’s son to her acquaintance, the two met, Lei Lei recognized Liu Chuan, the heart of this junior high school mischief classmates, the impression of Lei Lei is still quite deep first agreed to, did not think that the two were together in a few days, the feeling is quite compatible, especially Liu Chuan, the man occasionally revealed a trace of the tenderness and thoughtfulness, actually got the Lei big! Miss’s favor, even Liu Chuan’s heart is not quite believe, he actually so easily captured the heart of a beautiful woman.
“Lei Lei, what project are you coming back to investigate? Let Dachuan accompany you to run, Pengcheng’s development over the years is very good, what business can also consider to carry out here, you are now a Hong Kong businessman, you also need to pull the mainland’s economic development ah!” Zhuang Rui poured a cup of tea for Lei Lei and Qin Xuan Bing and said jokingly.
After lunch, Zhuang mother and Zhuang Min went to coax their nannies to take a nap, a few young people all sat on the sofa and chatted idly, it was almost the New Year, this was the busiest time of the year for everyone, but also the most free time.
“My grandfather operates a gold and silver jewelry, in Hong Kong opened a few not very large stores, the business in these years is not very good, so they want to develop to the jewelry and jadeite products, but in Hong Kong this kind of products are basically monopolized by a few larger jewelry houses, and the mainland in these years the economy has been developing very rapidly, so Grandpa would like to adjust the company’s strategy, the focus of the operation will be slowly turned back to the mainland, I’m just a pawn, to explore the way.”
Lei Lei said here, paused for a moment, smoothed the strands of hair in front of her forehead behind her ear with her hand, glanced at Liu Chuan, and then said, “Right, Zhuang Rui, from what I heard about Da Chuan, you’re working in Zhonghai now, right? That’s the center of gravity for our expedition, when we go to Zhonghai, you’ll have to entertain us!”
Lei Lei’s grandfather’s company is now indeed not very good, the international gold prices in the past few years, Hong Kong’s economy has suffered a setback, the public’s purchasing power declined very much, so the development of the mainland market has become a top priority, Lei Lei came back this time with a heavy burden.
Zhuang Rui now on jewelry and what is not interested, said jokingly: “The original Miss Lei is a Hong Kong capitalist ah! When you go to Zhonghai, you must look for me, but if the man accompanying you is not Da Chuan, I will not receive him!”
“No need to bother Mr. Zhuang’s, we have a branch in Zhonghai.”
Sitting next to Lei Lei, Qin Xuan Bing, who has been listening to much to say little, suddenly said faintly, which made Zhuang Rui a little embarrassed, you have a branch in Zhonghai and still looking for me to do this little man? He did not know, Qin Xuanbing said we, and Lei Lei is no relationship.
Liu Chuan can also see that Qin Xuan Bing seems to be a little directed at Zhuang Rui, hastily diverted the topic, said: “Lei Lei, you come back once in a while, why don’t we organize a junior high school reunion tomorrow?”
“A middle school reunion? Lei Lei and Zhuang Rui both froze at once, they didn’t expect Liu Chuan to actually make this suggestion.
