Chapter 21 Chinese New Year
An airplane flew through the clouds and slowly landed on the straight runway of Yangcheng Baiyun Airport.

Because Liu Zhou received the royalties, he indulged himself for a rare time and flew back directly.

Returning to Guangzhou in the cool autumn from the snowy capital, Liu Zhou felt that everything had become so familiar again.

After taking a deep breath of the air of Guangzhou, Liu Zhou immediately walked towards the exit.

As soon as he came out, Liu Zhou saw his elegant father waving at him.

"Dad, you really came to pick me up."

"Our school is on vacation now, and since I had nothing to do at home, your mom rushed me here."

Sitting in his father's four-year-old Santana and looking at the interior of the car, Liu Zhou felt like he was looking at an antique.

But my father took great care of this car and continued to drive it even after retirement. Liu Zhou wanted to buy him a new one, but he refused, saying that he was used to it.

Liu Zhou had no choice but to let his father, who suddenly became stubborn, let him do what he wanted.

Liu Zhou didn't think that driving such an antique car after 20 years would lose its value, but he was worried about its safety performance. A better car would definitely have more guaranteed safety performance.

"How is it, after spending a semester at the university, how do you feel?"

"It's pretty good. Much more interesting than high school."

"that's it?"

“I met a lot of great people, and I felt so insignificant.”

"Yeah, that's good. You're not as arrogant as before. At first, your mother didn't agree with you going to Beijing to study, but I think Beijing is the center of our country, so it's good for you to see the world.

So that you don’t have to stay in Guangzhou and still think you are so great.”

"Dad, I wasn't arrogant at all. I was just confident at that time."

"You know whether you are confident or arrogant."

Well, Liu Zhou admitted that he was a little crazy in high school because of his little talent.

But isn’t that youthful?
Who hasn’t had a period of being an immature person when they were young?
Liu Zhou's home is in Yuexiu District, the old city area of ​​Guangzhou, not far from the White Swan Hotel built by Huo Daheng.

At that time, there were not as many cars in Guangzhou as in later generations, and the roads were not very crowded. In less than half an hour, I arrived downstairs of my home.

When I got home, I immediately saw my mother busy in the kitchen.

"Mom, I'm back."

"We're here so soon. Zhou Zhou, you should take a rest first. The food will be ready soon. Jing Cheng, go get dad."

"Mom, let me pick up Grandpa."

"You take a break and let your dad go."

"I came back by plane. I'm not tired at all. I haven't seen grandpa for a long time. I'd better go."

"Then let Zhou Zhou go." said Dad.

Grandpa still lives in the old house, which was originally allocated by his unit. Liu Zhou’s family also lived there when he was a child.

Later, my father and mother discussed buying the house we live in now. They originally wanted to let my grandfather come and live with them, but he refused to come.

Many of his old colleagues are over there, and he thinks it would be boring if he came here to live. His dad didn't force him, and they all visit grandpa often.

My grandfather’s house is not far from my new home, and the transportation is also convenient, just four bus stops away.

When he arrived at his grandfather's neighborhood, Liu Zhou saw his grandfather sitting under a tree watching others play chess.

Seeing him hesitant to speak, I wish I could go down and fight myself.

"grandfather."

Liu Zhou shouted, but several people turned around.

When Liu Zhou's grandfather saw that it was Liu Zhou, a kind smile immediately appeared on his face:

"My dear grandson, when did you come back?"

"I just got back. My mom has prepared dinner. I'll take you over to eat together."

"Come on, how did you get here?"

"I came here by bus."

"Then let's ride back."

After that, grandpa pushed out a Forever 28-bar truck from the carport. It looked very old, but it was very clean. This car is quite old, exactly 20 years old. Grandpa said that it was bought when my father got married.

My grandfather originally had one too, but that one was older and was sold as scrap metal after he retired.

Later, my father bought a car and gave his bicycle to my grandfather for transportation.

"My dear grandson, get in the car quickly."

"Grandpa, let me take you."

"Don't worry, your grandpa is in good health."

"I know. You used to give me a ride when I was little. Now that I'm grown up, it's my turn to give you a ride."

"Well, you better ride steady."

Seeing that his grandfather was seated firmly, Liu Zhou put one foot on the horizontal bar in front of the cross-country bicycle and rode forward steadily.

On the way, Grandpa couldn't help but sigh:

"Zhou Zhou, you've grown up in the blink of an eye. The scene of you peeing on the bed when you were a child feels like it was just yesterday."

"Grandpa, people grow up, right? When I graduate from college, I will give you a great-grandson as soon as possible."

"Okay, do you have a girlfriend now?"

"Not yet. I'm only a freshman. There's no rush."

"Then you better hurry up, because four years of college may be over in the blink of an eye."

Not long after, Liu Zhou rode to the downstairs of his house.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw that the table was already filled with dishes, almost all of which were Liu Zhou's favorites.

Steamed sea bass, poached chicken, blanched shrimp and Liu Zhou’s favorite stir-fried greens.

This is the taste of home, this is happiness!
The family had a warm dinner. Grandpa was so happy that he drank some wine and slept here that night.

The next day, Liu Zhou slept until he woke up naturally, but because of his biological clock, he looked at the time and it was just past seven o'clock.

Liu Zhou saw that it was not very cold in Guangzhou, so he went out for a run.

After spending the morning with his grandfather at home, Liu Zhou went to his uncle's house in the afternoon.

The Zhujiang Factory is relatively quiet now. Some departments have holidays earlier than schools. My uncle is one of the ones who has holidays earlier.

My uncle is not my biological uncle. He is the son of my grandfather’s brother and my father’s cousin.

But his uncle had been very good to him since he was a child, and when he was a child, Liu Zhou often followed his uncle to the Zhujiang Factory to play.

Now that I'm back, I should visit my uncle.

Liu Zhou has two older sisters, who are her uncle’s daughters. Her uncle’s family didn’t think of having a son, so they stopped having children after having two daughters.

Therefore, by the time Liu Zhou's generation came around, he was the only male left in the lineage of Liu Zhou's Taigong.

My uncle's two daughters were already married, so only my uncle and aunt were at home at this time.

Liu Zhou came to his uncle's house and enjoyed the warmth of home again. He stayed there for more than two hours after dinner before going home.

In the next few days, Liu Zhou got together with some good high school classmates whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Then I pooled some money and invited my high school class teacher and several subject teachers to have a meal.

Although our contact with teachers has decreased a lot after graduation, we still have a deep friendship with each other.

After all, these teachers taught them for two and a half years after the students were divided into arts and science classes, and accompanied them throughout their high school career.

In addition, these teachers are very dedicated and although they have been scolded a lot, everyone knows that the teachers are doing it for their own good.

Therefore, after graduation, Liu, Zhou and others agreed that they would visit their teacher every year when they went home for the New Year.

The days before the New Year passed by so quickly while we were having fun, and in the blink of an eye, it was the Spring Festival.

Liu Zhou received New Year's greeting calls from some classmates on this day, and also called some good classmates to wish them a happy New Year.

Liu Zhou, the head teacher Huang Weiruo, anticipated that many people would call him at that time, so he simply wished Huang a happy new year in advance yesterday.

Although Lao Huang rarely appears, Liu Zhou still communicates with him quite a lot, and the two are now very familiar with each other, otherwise Liu Zhou would not dare to call him Lao Huang in front of him.

As the clock struck twelve in the evening, 1996 truly passed.
