Moana has arrived. My wife and I picked up Jiang Qiuying. We used connections at the Provincial Eye Research Institute to get a special appointment for her daughter. The specialist said that the condition is currently stable, but still recommended three more injections of Lai Zhudan for treatment.
Qiuying I went directly to help pay the fees, and then accompanied Nuinui to get her first injection. The dinner was arranged at our house, and I also invited a group of fellow underachievers who work with me in Jiangcheng to "accompany" us. Moana sighed with emotion: after graduating from college, she graduated from Hebei South Normal University. Because she didn't have connections, she couldn't get into the county's high school, so she came to Annan Junior High School and married a male teacher from the school. When her daughter was three years old, her husband went to the provincial normal university for further studies, and somehow got involved with a female teacher from County First High School.
The male teacher and Moana divorced not long ago. Their daughter Niu Niu was found to have bleeding in her left eye, so they rushed from Beijing to Shanghai, spending a lot of money. Earlier, a shot of Leizudan was administered, and including the cost of the surgery, it amounted to over 13,000 yuan! It was not easy for them to stabilize over the years. However, their lives were still in a mess during the process of seeking medical treatment.
In the past, they couldn't get an appointment to see a doctor. Every time they came, the mother and daughter had to take at least three to five days off. This time was relatively smooth, and they had enough time to spend. Qiuying and I tried our best to persuade them to stay for two more days.
Unexpectedly, Moana, who was very grateful to us, revealed another big secret.
When we graduated from high school, my family, Qiuying, Gao Jiazhuang, and Moana all got into Jinan Normal University. However, Moana's acceptance letter was withheld by our class advisor, Jia Huairen, and given to his daughter, Jia Liu. At that time, there was no facial recognition technology, and many processes were manually reviewed, so there was still a lot of room for manipulation if you had connections.
Very few people knew about this incident, but Moana and Gao Jiazhuang couldn't be fooled because in college, they were in the same class as Jia Liu, who had changed her name to Jiang Qiuying!
Another thing is that Gao Jiazhuang's uncle is a household registration police officer at the police station, and Gao Jiazhuang arranged for Jia Liu to obtain fake household registration procedures.
Back then, thinking that she had failed the college entrance examination, Qiuying went to work in the south alone, and happened to meet me, who was already a "line leader". Our shared hometown and schoolmates brought us together in the end. Later, we jointly registered Shengshi Huiguang Cultural Communication Co., Ltd., and rode the wave of short videos to do live broadcasts and film short dramas. We can't claim to be the best, but we are still among the top three companies in the industry in Jiangcheng.
Jia Huairen and Gao Jiazhuang are really a pair of oddballs!
Gao Jiazhuang The phone call came.
"Lao Hu, you really are pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, the most low-key luxury!" His voice was very loud, and there was no longer the previous condescending attitude, "I always thought you were carrying bricks at the construction site, or screwing in screws at the factory, I didn't expect you to be a boss now! Your 'A Light in the Darkest Hour' was filmed so well, my wife loves it the most!
I just recognized the protagonist, and I never thought it was our class beauty Jiang Qiuying who played the role! We're all in our forties, but if you told me Qiuying was just in her thirties, I'd believe it. She's still as beautiful as she was back then! I just don't understand how such a good catch ended up with you!"
I really wanted to retort at him! It's all thanks to you and Jia Huairen!
He exaggeratedly and deliberately narrowed our psychological distance, then finally turned the conversation to the point: "When are you free to come from the provincial capital to 'inspect' our Jinan? Let me treat you, to express the overflowing affection of longing... Also, there's a small matter. My son is going abroad for research and needs to pay a 500,000 yuan deposit. It shouldn't be too difficult for you to help me gather 150,000 yuan, right?"
He kept talking non-stop on the phone, insisting on not hanging up until I agreed. I said, "In a while, Qiuying and I are going to see Moana. Let's meet and chat then!" He eagerly reminded me, "Okay, I'll bring two bottles of rare Annan Daqu... just make sure to bring money!" Moana mentioned you, saying that you and her are doing well in Jiangcheng. She said that when her daughter needed medical treatment, you were able to provide tens of thousands of yuan. Given our relationship, you should at least help with tens of thousands. Among our classmates, I value you the most!"
Moana has been working at the local high school all along, which is considered "successful." She keeps in touch with her classmates from her hometown more often.
Jiang Qiuying and I are preparing to "return in glory," and we don't mind Moana arranging a large group of classmates who live in our hometown. I even deliberately mentioned a few "academic underachievers" who used to sit with me in the back row and were often punished together.
"Chen Quanliang grows vegetables in a greenhouse at home, Zhou Jiakai delivers chicken manure to farmers, and Mou Zhenghe works in the village's house-building team..." Moana said, "Their children have all come to me when they were studying at No. 8 Middle School."
"I'll make sure to meet up with all of them. They were my best friends back in the day! I need to have a good drink with them!" I exclaimed.
Annan Junior High School is located in Gaoqiao Town, and the town's best restaurant has average conditions.
But that's not the key, being happy, happy is the most important.
I and Qiuying first picked up Moana and waited in the booked restaurant.
Classmates arrived one after another, some on electric tricycles, some on electric bikes, and some on agricultural three-wheelers.
Chen Quanliang brought us a bag of home-grown pollution-free tomatoes. You wouldn't believe it, it really had the taste of the time when we used to steal from the local vegetable garden near the school. Zhou Jiakai and Mou Zhenghe brought us their own ground corn, wheat, and dried locust flowers, and Qiuying accepted them without hesitation.
Gao Jiazhuang Shanshan arrived late, nitpicking the restaurant environment: "Who chose this place? The standard is a bit low!"
Moana said, "This is already the best in our town!"
"If this were in Jinan, I would at least have arranged to go to 'Jinan People's Home'..." Then she looked at the classmates present and said, "I don't even recognize anyone here. Who are these people?"
Moana introduction, Gao Jiazhuang handed over his business card: "Cultural Bureau of Jina City Deputy Director, Gao Jiazhuang!"
My study buddies and I clinked glasses, and Chen Quanliang quickly got himself drunk: "Damn, after so many years, you still remember us!" I lit a cigarette for him: "We've been punished to stand together so many times, we have a deep bond!"
Everyone else laughed, and we all cheerfully clinked glasses.
Qiuying Helped us take photos and posted them on my friend circle.
Qiuying and a few classmates discussed helping everyone sell products through our live broadcast room.
During the banquet, Gao Jiazhuang kept giving me suggestive looks.
I know what he means. He's hinting that he wants to borrow tens of thousands of dollars from me. I pretended not to see his gaze. After eating and drinking, the waiter brought the bill. Deputy Director Gao stood up and said, "Who's paying for today's meal? My position is the highest... or... should I do it?"
Chen Quanliang The first one expressed dissatisfaction: "Lao Hu came all the way from Jiangcheng for hundreds of miles. We had all agreed to show our appreciation together. If Director Gao really has this intention, it's better for us to arrange it in the evening!"
"I have an important meeting in the evening, and I have to speak at the meeting..."
Zhou Jiakai settled the bill: "Stop arguing, we have already discussed and arranged everything!"
Amidst the hustle and bustle, a familiar voice greeted, "Hu Ruoyun? You came back from Jiangcheng without reporting in. You really don't respect your teacher, do you? If I hadn't seen your moments, I wouldn't have known you were here!" Teacher Jia, though stooped, came over energetically. I greeted her, "We were just saying we'd come to your place tonight, Teacher Jia."
Jia Huairen then showed a satisfied expression: "This is almost there... Are these all my students? Why don't I recognize any of them?"
Moana came over to introduce them one by one.
When they arrived at Gao Jiazhuang, both of them were stunned.
One face was evasive, while the other's eyes were almost spitting fire. Gao Jiazhuang didn't bother to provoke me again, instead he grabbed Jia Huairen, and the two of them went to the side to "duel."
Qiuying opened the car's trunk: "I brought a specialty from Jiangcheng, the delicious jujube slices, two bags for each classmate, and also the custom-made wine from our company, two bottles for each person, make sure to take them!"
Everyone bid farewell to each other and left, wishing each other to take care and inviting each other to visit their homes when they have time.
Seeing off the crowd, but I saw Teacher Jia and Gao Jiazhuang dragging each other towards the Gaoqiao Police Station.
⒏
I didn't originally plan to lend money to either of them!
Lend them money? On what basis!
On the way back to Jiangcheng, I asked Qiuying, "Any thoughts?"
She said, "This could be made into a skit."
Although there are many good people in the world, there are also often bad people around.
One hundred good people may not necessarily make your life much better.
But one bad person is enough to ruin your good life completely.
This is a somewhat cruel truth of the world. So, let's strive to be good people, but not naive ones. Keep your eyes open, stay alert, and when you see a pit, walk around it. This is the most basic way to protect yourself.
May There are no pitfalls in the world come true. (The end)
