Love beauty is the nature of every woman, and even Zhang Yao is no exception.

"Yeah, that's right."

Chen Hao thought for a moment and nodded.

"Really?"

When Zhang Yao heard this, she immediately became excited and smiled and said, "Then I will learn martial arts with you in the future, okay?"

"you?"

Chen Hao smiled and said, "Okay, but do you have time?" After that, before Zhang Yao could speak, he continued, "Can you stand up to endure hardships? Practice the three-hour summer, practice the three-year-old winter, and most importantly, it is very likely that you will develop a whole body of muscles. Are you still willing to learn?"

"A whole body of muscle?"

When Zhang Yao heard her words, a picture of her muscles immediately appeared in her mind. She immediately got goosebumps and shook her head and said, "Forget it."

"If you want to practice, I think you can sign up for a yoga class. When you have time, it's good to practice yoga at night and maintain your figure."

Chen Hao said with a smile.

“Is this yoga really effective?”

Father Zhang asked with interest.

"It's somewhat useful." Chen Hao nodded with a smile.

After dinner, Zhang Yao accompanied Chen Hao downstairs to the barber shop.

Chen Hao, with white hair, walked on the street, as if the focus of everyone's attention. In addition, Zhang Yao, who was accompanied by him, was holding his arm.

Almost everyone passing by wouldn't help but look at their couple.

As the year approaches, the barber shop business is extremely popular. Chen Hao can only wait patiently, and the people in the barber shop often look at him.

Chen Hao smiled bitterly in his heart. His white hair was so eye-catching.

Just as Chen Hao "enjoyed" his gaze.

On the crowded train, Gong Le, who had not bought a ticket, has been standing in a dense hard seat carriage like canned sardines for more than ten hours.

He was tired now and wanted to sit on the ground. Unfortunately, there were too many people on the train. Not to mention sitting on the ground, he had to sideways even when he stood!

"…There are so many people!"

Gong Le thought to himself that since he got in the car, one hand has been stuck in his pocket. The sweat in his palm has long wet the thin stack of banknotes in his pocket.

There are 7,000 yuan in total.

In addition to the few thousand dollars that Xu Gang compensated him before, the remaining money was saved by Gong Le's work during this period.

He originally kept it and planned to pay the tuition for the next semester, but now something happened at home, Gong Le didn't care about so much, so he took out all of them, hurriedly bought a train ticket and went home.

Just two days ago, after Gong Le returned to the dormitory at night, he was alone, took out his phone card and planned to call his home to listen to his family's voice to relieve the loneliness of spending the New Year alone.

Gong Le's home is in the rural area of ​​a poor county, and there is only one telephone in the entire rural area.

It's at the village chief's house.

This was a few years ago, in order to facilitate communication with the village, the county installed it at the village chief's home - not a private phone, but an official phone.

Before this phone number was not available in the village, people who went out of the village usually used telegrams and letters to communicate with their relatives in the village. Otherwise, they would agree in advance that they would go to the post office in the county every Sunday to answer the phone.

It is difficult for people who have never experienced this kind of thing to believe.

They would not believe that it has entered 2003 and there is still such a poor place.

But in fact, this is a very realistic situation. Some poor mountainous areas far away from the mountains have caused serious disconnection with the cities outside the mountains due to inconvenience of transportation.

After the phone rang a few times, someone picked it up and asked in very obscure local dialect: "Hey, which one are you looking for?"

From the other party's hoarse voice, Gong Le could hear that this person was their village chief Feng, an old cigarette gun for many years. In Gong Le's memory, the dry tobacco bag in Village Chief Feng's hand seemed to never leave his hand all year round, twenty-four hours a day. As a result, every time he spoke, his breathing sounded, Gong Le felt as if someone was pulling a bellows in his lungs.

"Is Village Chief Feng? I am Gong Le."

It took a long time since I heard such a familiar local accent, Gong Le was a little excited for a moment.

"Gong Le? The Gong Le who went to Kyoto to study?"

Village Chief Feng was slightly stunned when he heard his words.

"Well, that's right, it's me, Village Chief Feng, can you please call my mother to answer the phone?"

Gong Le said politely to Village Chief Feng.

"Your mom? She may not be able to answer the phone."

Village Chief Feng said bluntly.

"ah?"

Gong Le was stunned and asked in confusion: "Why?"

"Your mother went to the county town to sell vegetables a few days ago, but someone beat her up. Now she is lying down at home to recuperate."

Village Chief Feng said, "Let's do this, I'll call you your brother to answer the phone."

"Ah? Village Chief Feng, why did my mother be beaten?"

Gong Le was stunned on the spot and asked repeatedly. Unfortunately, Village Chief Feng there was no movement. Gong Le guessed that he should have put the phone on the table and went to his house to call his second brother Gong Shan.

For a moment.

Gong Le was so anxious that he waited for ten minutes, but there was no movement on the other side of the phone.

This made Gong Le even more anxious.

You know, the village is not big, and there are less than forty families in total. Whenever someone calls the village to find someone, Village Chief Feng will stand at the door of his house and shout and others will hear it.

I waited for more than ten minutes, and I saw that half an hour was about to pass, but there was still no movement on the other side of the phone.

This almost made Gong Le anxious.

I don't know what happened.

Just when the money in the phone card was about to be used up, there was a vague sound on the other side of the phone.

It's the voice of a man and a woman.

Don't know what you're talking about.

Immediately afterwards, the microphone was picked up, and a panicked cry came: "Brother, brother, is it you?"

Gong Le suddenly realized that the person on the other side of the phone was his sister Sanya.

"Sanya, it's me, what's wrong? What's going on?"

Gong Le asked nervously.

"Brother, come back quickly. Mom was beaten and couldn't get up in bed. They came back just now. They came to our house and beat my second brother too and captured me. Come back soon...Dududu..."

Sanya's voice on the other side of the phone stopped abruptly. Gong Le was stunned. Then, he heard a prompt sound from the microphone: "Your balance is insufficient, please recharge."

"grass!"

Gong Le was furious and almost smashed the phone in his hand with one punch. At the critical moment, there was no money in the phone card.

This almost made Gong Le anxious!

He grabbed a piece of clothing randomly, locked the dormitory door, ran to the supermarket outside the school, bought a phone card, found an IC card phone booth, and called the village phone number.

But this time, it rang for a long time and no one answered it.

Gong Le didn't know what was going on at home.

But from Sanya’s simple story just now, Gong Le learned something - something happened at home, his mother was beaten and bedridden, and his second brother Gong Shan was also arrested!

Gong Le didn't dare to delay. After returning to the dormitory, he found his shabby luggage bag from the cabinet and put all the 7,000 yuan hidden in the luggage bag on.

Just as he was about to leave the dormitory, Gong Le remembered something, "The New Year is coming soon, Brother Chen also invited me to his house for the New Year, I have to say something to him."

He dialed Chen Hao's mobile phone number, but heard the prompt tone that the other party had turned off.

After thinking for a while, Gong Le called Wang Yongbing again.

"Yongbing, I want to go home. Originally, Brother Chen asked me to go to his house for the New Year, but if I have something to do, I can't go to his house for the New Year together. Brother Chen's cell phone is turned off. Please tell Brother Chen."

Gong Le explained to Wang Yongbing seriously.

Chen Hao invited Gong Le to his house for the New Year, which was a thing that he had agreed before. For others, perhaps such a thing is just a small matter and would never specifically ask others to tell him.

But Gong Le is different.

From the bottom of his heart, he admired Chen Hao and was grateful to Chen Hao. If it weren't for Chen Hao's previous help, Gong Le might have been expelled from the school.

For Gong Le, Chen Hao is his benefactor, so he cannot go to Chen Hao's house for the New Year. Gong Le must say hello to Chen Hao in this way.

"You want to go home? Didn't you say that you won't go home for the New Year this year?"

Wang Yongbing on the other side of the phone did not react for a while after hearing Gong Le's words.

"Well, there's something going on at home. I have to go back. Yongbing, that's it, I'm going to catch the train."

After saying that, Gong Le hung up the phone, ran out of the school in a hurry, took a taxi, and ran to the train station.

However, at this time, the Chinese New Year will be held in a few days. Not to mention taking tickets, the train station will not even sell station tickets!

In desperation, Gong Le mixed in the crowd, tried his best to get on the train and replenished a ticket. After more than ten hours of bumpy weather, he did not feel hungry, but was worried about the situation at home.

There was no direct train. After Gong Le arrived at the transit train station, he was so hungry that he was too hungry. He bought a box of instant noodles in the supermarket outside the train station, picked up boiled water in the train station, so he soaked it briefly and ate it voraciously.

After squeezing the train for nearly ten hours, at around 6 o'clock in the morning, Gong Le finally arrived in Lei City, southwestern China Province.

After the long-distance bus station opened, Gong Le bought the first bus ticket to return to his hometown county town. After getting on the bus, Gong Le, who had not closed his eyes for more than 20 hours, almost fell asleep in a drowsy way as soon as he got into his seat.
Chapter completed!
