Chapter 446 Wine Is Time, Song Is Youth (1/2)

After all the classmates arrived, Li Duoyu realized that many of them brought their children with them.

Some of the more efficient ones had children who were already five or six years old, and some had two children.

When everyone found that Li Duoyu had arrived at the auditorium, the classmates present gathered around him.

"Director Li, you are finally here. Everyone has been waiting for you for a day. You are the one that everyone discussed the most today."

"You made so much money from breeding, but you didn't bring us along. You have to teach us how to breed your kelp."

There was a guy named Zhang Zhenping who used to be very good friends with Li Duoyu. The two of them often jumped over the wall to skip classes together.

"Duoyu, you are such a scoundrel. We spent four years together in junior high school. Why didn't you invite me when you and Xiaoying got married?"

"That's right. You two are really boring. You got married without saying anything."

Another female classmate said a little angrily: "I greeted you for a long time at the aquatic product processing factory last time, but you acted like you didn't know me. Did you forget me?"

"Sorry, I was busy that day."

The female classmate snorted: "Then do you remember my name?"

"Ah, hahaha."

"You really forgot me."

Li Duoyu was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a place to hide. These classmates looked very familiar.

But if they didn't introduce themselves, he really couldn't remember who they were?

Among dozens of people, he only remembered a few classmates who often played with him, and almost all of the rest were forgotten.

As everyone greeted each other, Li Duoyu found that there were more fishermen among his classmates.

Fishermen are very easy to recognize. They are exposed to the wind and sun at the sea every day, so their skin must not be very good.

Some people, even two or three meters away, Li Duoyu can smell the strong smell of seafood on them.

When a female classmate approached, Li Duoyu immediately knew that her daily job was to crack oysters.

One person not only smelled fishy, ​​but also had a strong smell of diesel. It was obvious that she was a crew member who often went to sea, and the cabin was very close to the diesel engine.

Speaking of which, there were only more than 30 people in their class. After all, only a few of them were admitted to technical secondary schools and high schools. There were only Zhou Xiaoying, Yao Xue, Chen Ziyi, Zhang Jianhua, Li Hou, and Zhang Defa.

After graduation, most people returned to the village to make a living like Li Duoyu.

In this era, studying can really change your destiny. It is the easiest way for poor students and farmers to move up to the upper class.

When introducing each other, what everyone didn't expect was that the best students in the class were not Chen Ziyi from the song and dance troupe and Zhang Jianhua, who had a little relationship with them, but Li Hou and Yao Xue.

These two people didn't have any background, but they all passed the provincial key technical secondary school exams and were assigned to important positions as soon as they graduated.

Yao Xue studied at an economics school. After graduation, she was assigned to the Foreign Trade Bureau just in time for foreign exchange earning.

Although she was just a clerk, she had a lot of power in her hands. Many bosses who wanted to engage in foreign trade had to ask her for help. If she could hold on for a few more years, she might be promoted to a cadre.

Li Hou studied at a grain school. After graduation, he was directly assigned to a grain station. Now he is the deputy director of a grain station. It's hard to say whether he has power or not, but he does have a lot of money.

Chen Ziyi was admitted to the song and dance troupe by herself, and Zhang Jianhua was employed in a large factory in the city by relying on his relatives.

As for Zhang Defa, the best student in the class, he got his wish and became the only college student in the class.

But when everyone learned that he was only a freshman, they all couldn't help but tease him.

"Defa, you will probably be 28 when you graduate. By then, my child will be going to junior high school."

Zhang Defa was quite helpless: "I'm sorry, my clinical major is five years, and I will be 29 after graduation."

"Hahaha."

"Fortunately you are not married yet, otherwise your wife will probably be mad to death. By the way, can you make money while you are studying?"

Zhang Defa's mouth twitched. He was thankful that the director was willing to let him help him. How could he make money?

Some students, after learning that he was a doctor, started to see patients on the spot: "Defa, I have bifurcated urine recently, frequent urination and urgent urination. What's going on?"

Zhang Defa said seriously:

"Are you married?"

"Like you, not yet."

Zhang Defa gritted his teeth, damn it, I can't bear it: "It's very simple to cure this disease, just keep a good distance from your right hand, and it's best not to do it more than three times a month, maybe it can be cured."

A female student asked curiously:

"Defa, why does this disease need to keep a good distance from his right hand?"

The male students present laughed but didn't say anything, and Li Duoyu couldn't help laughing. Only the doctor said stubbornly: "You're talking nonsense, I don't have it."

Zhang Defa said disdainfully: "Whether you have it or not, you know it yourself, quit it quickly, so that you won't become a second man after getting married."

After Li Duoyu and Zhang Defa's group came, they instantly became the focus of the whole audience.

In the past, Zhang Jianhua would definitely be "proud of himself", but since he saw Li Duoyu's "strength" in Rongcheng last time.

I went back and flipped through the old newspapers from my workplace. I was shocked.

This guy not only became the village director, but also started kelp farming and was sent abroad for inspection. Not long ago, he also completed a foreign trade business.

And none of these are important. What puzzles him most is that he has taken photos with the big boss three times in two years.

No wonder a second-generation like Zhao Jialu would hang out with him. A "drunkard" like him naturally understands that Li Duoyu is a "cultivated celebrity".

The gap between the two sides is really obvious. He has run several times to find connections and sent several gifts, but he has not been able to make Chen Ziyi a regular employee.

But that night, for just a meal, Zhao Jialu just agreed casually.

In the second month, Chen Ziyi stood out from the song and dance troupe and was valued by the leaders, but the difference was in strength.

Fortunately, Li Duoyu has married Zhou Xiaoying, otherwise, according to his current conditions, if he really wanted to pursue Chen Ziyi, he would have no chance.

But now he also feels that he has little chance. There are too many excellent people in big cities, and as Chen Ziyi is valued by the leaders, he will come into contact with more young talents.

"Alas."

Zhang Jianhua couldn't help but sigh, forced a smile, and said with a smile: "Duoyu, Ziyi and I have been waiting for you for a long time, just afraid that you don't have time to come."

"How is it possible? It's a class reunion. No matter how busy I am, I have to make time to come. Don't you agree?"

The classmates echoed: "That's right."

After seeing Li Duoyu, Chen Ziyi said enthusiastically: "Thank you for the last time. I am now a little lead dancer in the group. If I come to Rongcheng, I will treat you to a meal."

"No, it's just a small matter. It's normal for classmates to help each other. Don't take it too seriously."

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional!

Li Duoyu's words about a small matter instantly shocked Chen Ziyi and Zhang Jianhua.

This light-hearted word implicitly showed that they were no longer on the same level.

If Zhang Jianhua had helped her in this matter, he might have been shameless and wanted her to marry him.

But Li Duoyu didn't even need her to treat him to a meal. It seemed that this was really a trivial matter for him.

When Yao Xue saw Chen Ziyi and Li Duoyu chatting, she acted as a matchmaker on the spot.

"Ziyi, I heard that you haven't found a partner yet, right? There are several single people in our bureau. Do you want me to introduce them to you?"

Chen Ziyi didn't refuse, but said, "Sure, let's meet up some other day."

Zhang Jianhua was stunned. How could Chen Ziyi, who had almost never been on a blind date, suddenly start a blind date?

"Yao Xue, you are still single. Solve your lifelong affairs first, and then consider others."

Yao Xue said with disdain: "It's none of your business. You'd better not pester Ziyi all day long to avoid misunderstandings from others." Zhang Jianhua almost spit out blood: "A good man doesn't fight with a woman."

When he heard that Yao Xue didn't have a partner yet, Zhang Defa instantly became energetic and leaned towards her unconsciously.

As a doctor, he naturally liked this type of small branches bearing great fruits, with his understanding of human organs.

Either she had it filled, or it was a medical miracle. Given his rigorous and serious attitude towards medicine, Zhang Defa planned to learn more about it.

Zhang Defa said directly without blushing: "Yao Xue, your unit seems to be very close to my school. If you are free, do you want to have a meal together?"

Zhang Defa said this.

All the students present were stunned. They had seen straightforward people, but not such straightforward people. Li Duoyu didn't know what to say. Maybe the brain circuits of medical students are different.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Yao Xue readily agreed: "Okay, but I'm just a second-level clerk with a low salary. I really don't have the money to treat you, a college student, to a meal."

Seeing that Yao Xue was so easy to invite, many male students at the scene also followed suit: "Yao Xue, I'll pay for this, let's have a meal together."

Yao Xue looked disgusted: "There are so many people who want to treat me to a meal, just line up slowly."

"Then why can Defa do it, but we can't."

Yao Xue smiled and said: "He has no money now."

At this time, Zhou Xiaoying whispered several words in his ear.

Li Duoyu opened his mouth wider and wider, and then coughed twice.

"Ahem."

"Defa, when are you going to return the two hundred yuan you left with me last time?"

But what made Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying speechless was that this old classmate opened his eyes and said, "Did you remember the wrong person? I used all the money to pay tuition, so how could I have money to give you?"

Li Duoyu really couldn't bear to watch. With this EQ, let alone Xiaorong, it is estimated that any woman would be very tired to get along with him.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that the head teacher who hated him very much at the beginning actually took the initiative to greet him.

"Duoyu, it's been many years since we last met."

Li Duoyu scratched his head and said, "Hello, Teacher Zhang."

"Don't try to hide when you see me. I won't catch you or ask you to write a self-criticism anymore."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Back then, I was really too naughty and caused you a lot of trouble. Teacher Zhang, I'm sorry."

Seeing Li Duoyu apologize on his own initiative, Zhang Xiuyun was really a little slow to react and followed up, saying, "Actually, I have problems too. You are quite smart and not very bad. If I had guided you well, you might have been a top student."

A classmate on the side laughed and said, "Fortunately, Teacher Zhang didn't guide you, otherwise, there would be no Director Li now."

"Hahaha, that makes sense."

The class teacher wanted to continue talking about something, but when he thought that the student he was least optimistic about at the beginning has now become the best among all his students, he felt very depressed.

I even began to reflect on myself, whether there was something wrong with my education.

After everyone arrived, under the leadership of the class teacher, everyone revisited the original classroom and recalled the past.

Immediately afterwards, a classmate took out the black and white graduation photo from that year. Everyone stood in their original positions and took another group photo.

After taking a group photo.

Everyone went to the Rongcheng Restaurant in the town and reached the stage that everyone loved to see.

That’s right, eating and drinking.

As one of the core figures at this class reunion, Li Duoyu was really scared.

Even before the meal started, these classmates came over one by one with wine glasses.

After one drink, there are still three more.

After three drinks, there was still more to come, and the one who toasted the most was undoubtedly Zhang Jianhua, and he also opened the eyes of everyone present.

He doesn't have many skills, but he is really good at drinking. He beat Li Duoyu and surrendered, so he had to let Zhang Defa do it for him.

"Duoyu, why did you bring in reinforcements? This won't work."

After finally finding a place where he could defeat Li Duoyu, Zhang Jianhua took advantage of the victory and pursued it: "It's useless to call for reinforcements. I'll knock him down and then I'll continue drinking with you."

Zhang Defa, who had had a little drink, slapped his thigh and cursed: "Fuck, who are you looking down on? I am also a doctor after all, someone who is exposed to alcohol every day."

As a result, Zhang Defa fell asleep directly without drinking much, which made Yao Xue sitting next to him very disgusted.

"You have no ability, why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?"

Seeing Zhang Jianhua filling the bottle with wine again, Zhou Xiaoying frowned: "That's about it. Drinking any more will not be good for your health."

Zhang Jianhua burped: "Xiaoying, we only drink once every ten years. Besides, Duoyu used to bully me a lot, but now he wants me to give him two sips of wine."

"Okay, I'll drink with you for two more rounds." Li Duoyu finally figured out that Zhang Jianhua's job was to help the leader drink.

Starting from this era, many units and companies have a special profession, which is dedicated to helping leaders keep alcohol out.

If the other party drinks one drink, he will drink three drinks. Faced with such a wine jar, Li Duoyu can't drink him even if he drinks to death.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the person who finally helped him out was Yao Xue, and what everyone didn't expect was that her drinking capacity was no worse than Zhang Jianhua's.

From six o'clock in the evening, we drank until almost ten o'clock. Many people's faces were red, and even Zhou Xiaoying was drunk a lot.

But what Li Duoyu didn't expect was that there was no contact at the class reunion, and a group of people moved directly to the ballroom on the first floor.

This time no one drank anymore, and many people danced.

The feeling is best when you are tipsy. Li Duoyu wanted to invite Zhou Xiaoying to dance together, but she refused to go up because she had never been to such a place.

Li Duoyu thinks this is a normal class reunion. In the novels of his previous life, although there are those who show off and scheming at every turn, they are still a minority.

But what Li Duoyu didn't expect was that there would be a repertoire at this class reunion, and it was aimed at him.

As one of the organizers of the event, Chen Ziyi took several pieces of paper, came to Li Duoyu, and took the microphone and said:

"Now we invite our Director Li to come to the center of the stage."

Li Duoyu just glanced at the manuscript and felt something was wrong. "Zi Yi, do you really want to read this? It's very embarrassing."

Unexpectedly, the whole class said in unison: "Recite, you must recite."

Li Duoyu looked at Zhou Xiaoying for help. Unexpectedly, his wife also said: "I also think you should read it. After all, you were such a bastard before."

Li Duoyu stood in the middle of the ballroom with a grimace on his face. After looking at the first piece of paper, he said:

"I, Li Duoyu, am here to apologize to Chen Xiaoliang. At that time, I shouldn't have bullied you so often and called you a slug."

"Today is our tenth anniversary reunion. I sincerely apologize to Zhang Jianhua. I shouldn't have beaten you and thrown your books into the trash can."

Li Duoyu thought that everyone was asking him to apologize, but he didn't expect that some of them were thanking him.

He turned over a piece of paper with beautiful handwriting and said a little embarrassedly: "No, I can't read this one. After reading it, I will probably kneel on the washboard at night."

"No, I have to read it."

"Then I'll read it."

"Classmate Duoyu, thank you very much. Although you look bad, you are really a nice person. Thank you very much for offending so many street kids for me. To be honest, I was really worried when I was in junior high school. I like you very much, but now, I wish you and Xiaoying a happy life."

"Fuck, who is this?"

However, after Li Duoyu finished reciting, he did not feel very embarrassed. On the contrary, he felt very relaxed. The events of that year seemed to have passed like this. (End of chapter)
