Chapter 361: Bringing Honor to the Family

The journey from Baling City to my hometown is not long.

In less than an hour, Xu Chuan returned home.

When the car drove to the front of the house, Xu's mother heard the noise and walked out quickly.

Xu Chuan opened the car door and walked out, and immediately saw his mother standing at the door looking over.

"Mom, I'm back." Xu Chuan shouted with a hint of excitement and trembling in his voice. We haven’t seen each other for half a year. It would be a lie to say that I don’t miss you.

Xu's mother walked over quickly and looked up and down: "It's good to be back safely."

Inside the house, Xu Xiao, who heard the commotion, quickly ran out and shouted happily: "Brother, I thought you would have to wait until New Year's Eve to come back!"

Xu Chuan said with a smile: "How was your final exam score?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiao pouted and said, "Brother! You don't care about my life or not. You ask about my grades as soon as I come back. Are you so unsure of your sister?"

Xu Chuan smiled and rubbed her little head. She said her grades and other things were not bad from the last time he went to Shuimu University to see her. However, he still asked this casually. This is probably the habit of Chinese people. Bar.

On the other side, Father Xu also walked out with an apron on and some sawdust on his body.

"dad!"

Xu Chuan looked at it and shouted with a smile. It was a familiar scene and a familiar picture. He remembered that when he came back before, his father often made small things and sold them to support the family.

Now that his family is better off, he still has no time to relax.

However, it used to be the pressure of life, but now it is a hobby in free time. There is still a big difference between the two.

Looking at the pair of children standing together, Xu Jianguo smiled and said, "It'll be good when we come back."

After saying hello, his eyes fell on Zheng Hai beside him, and asked with a smile: "Sorry for the trouble, little Zheng You, you are the one who sends it back every time."

Zheng Hai: "This is my job, no trouble at all."

On the side, Xu's mother smiled and said: "It's almost dinner, Xiao Zheng, let's have some together? It's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks."

Zheng Hai quickly refused: "No, I won't disturb your family reunion."

Xu's father sighed: "Thank you for your hard work. I guess you won't be able to go back to celebrate the New Year this year, right?"

Zheng Hai smiled and said: "It's okay. In fact, I'm not alone."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan immediately reacted and asked with a smile: "Is your fiancée coming to accompany you?"

Zheng Hai smiled and nodded: "Well, there is reimbursement, which is actually not bad."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "That's up to you. Just go and accompany your fiancée. You can take her everywhere and spend more time with her."

On the side, Xu's mother quickly interjected: "Xiao Zheng, bring your fiancée here so that we can meet her. You can celebrate the New Year together at our house. It will save you the trouble of getting food."

Zheng Hai coughed and declined: "No, no, I have some other things to do here, so I won't disturb you for now. If Academician Xu needs it, you can call me at any time."

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Mom, his fiancée comes to spend his little life with him. It's so sweet. What's the point of joining us and disturbing their private life."

Xu's mother glanced at him and said, "What's the matter? Can we come over for a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve? Xiao Zheng is driving for you. Let's socialize with him. We can feel more at ease when you are on the road in the future." ah."

The dinner was quite sumptuous and lively, and the joy of meeting again after a long separation filled the whole small home.

After hearing that he was back, villagers and neighbors came to visit him.

For these simple people in the village, they may not know the meaning behind the title of academician, but everyone knows that this is the achievement of the glorious ancestors.

Especially when Xu Chuan and the old man stood together for a group photo at the academician selection meeting, the villagers were even more excited.

You must know that in the historical genealogy of Xujiacun, the most outstanding figure was just a scholar who came out more than two hundred years ago, and in ancient times, Xu Chuan would have been the number one scholar.

Even when revising his family tree, he had to write a complete page to record his glory.

Xu Chuan smiled and smoked, answering the words of the village elders.

Not long after, another young man about his age came in from the intersection.

"Kawako! You are finally back." Seeing Xu Chuan in the crowd, the young man walked up with a smile, shouted and then said hello to other elders in the crowd.

"Brother Hou?"

Xu Chuan turned his head, glanced at the person next to him, and asked in a hesitant tone: "Why are you so fat and fat? Did you go to Africa to move bricks?"

Xu Hou chuckled and said, "I can't help it. In the past year or two, the fat on my body has been rising steadily, and I can't stop it."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Where are you from, sister-in-law? You guys got married quite early."

Xu Hou smiled sheepishly and said, "It's a life-threatening situation. If we don't get married, it won't end well."

When talking about the reason for getting married, Xu Hou also had a smile on his face.

There are not many college students in Xujiacun. He did not get a bachelor's degree. After graduating from high school, he went to a junior college. Originally, he wanted to learn a skill and find a job more conveniently in the future. After saving some money, he could go on a blind date in his hometown. Get a wife.

However, the path of life did not go as he expected. After entering junior college, he met a girlfriend, who was also a native of Baling. Their personalities got along well and they lived together before graduation.

I had planned to work for two years and save some money before getting married, but I didn’t expect that the protective measures were not taken well and someone died.

Fortunately, both families still supported it, so they had a meal together in the second half of the year and decided to get married after meeting.

As for the wedding, it was decided before the New Year while the bride was still pregnant and everyone came back to celebrate the New Year at the end of the year.

“Oh!”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan suddenly understood that getting married with a baby is indeed common these days.

He smiled and congratulated, "Congratulations, Brother Hou, you are so lucky."

Xu Houhan smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I have something to ask you for help the day after tomorrow when I get married."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Just tell us what's going on between us."

Xu Hou scratched his head and smiled and said, "Actually, I want you to be my best man."

Xu Chuan smiled and nodded, saying, "No problem."

In his generation, because of a certain policy in the early years, most of the people in the village were actually only sons, or one son and one daughter, so the relationship between the friends in the village was pretty good.

Hearing this, Xu Hou grinned and said, "Then it's settled. I'll trouble you with the best man for the wedding the day after tomorrow."

After saying that, he remembered something and asked, "Oh, by the way, there's one more thing, Chuanzi, where is your car? Is it convenient for you to take it with you when you pick up the bride tomorrow?"

Hearing this question, Xu Chuan was stunned for a second, and then smiled awkwardly: "Well, I don't seem to have a driver's license. But it's okay, wait a minute, I'll make a call."

Not only did he not have a driver's license, he didn't buy a car, and the car he took for travel was arranged by Zheng Hai.

He took out his mobile phone and called Zheng Hai to ask about it. Zheng Hai said that there was no problem. Although the car was borrowed from Baling, it was completely fine to attend a wedding to pick up the bride.

After confirming the news, Xu Hou said a little embarrassedly, "Sorry to bother you."

Listening to the communication on the phone, he really didn't know that Xu Chuan didn't buy a car. After all, he drove a car every year when he came back, and he also had a driver.

This also made him feel a little emotional. His childhood friend, now he is so tall that he is afraid that he can't even see the taillights.

Nobel Prize, Fields Medal, state-provided car and driver, academician title, having such a childhood friend, I am afraid that the probability of finding alien life in the Milky Way is even smaller than that of finding alien life.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "It's a small matter. I will give a big red envelope to my nephew or niece who I haven't met yet."

After Xu Hou left, Xu's mother smacked her lips, looked at Xu Chuan with some envy and asked, "Chuan'er, you have become an academician outside. Do you have a girl you like? When will you bring her back?"

Xu Chuan coughed lightly and said, "Mom, we agreed before that we won't urge you before you are 30 years old."

After saying this, he slipped into the house.

At the age of 23, normally, you have just graduated from college. Although you have reached the legal age for marriage, you usually have to work hard outside for a few years before you can talk about it.

Looking at the back of her son slipping away, Xu's mother smiled and shook her head.

Although she longs to hold her grandson, it is unlikely that her son will get married in the next few years.

Wait for another four or five years, when he is 27 or 28, and then urge him.

As for now, he wants to concentrate on research, so let him go.
