Chapter 260
"Uh..."
Xu Anruo was slightly stunned.
He nodded immediately, which was not surprising.
After checking in at the front desk, Xu Anruo carried the big bag and sent Tan Zhonghong upstairs.
This Ibis hotel near Jiangda University belongs to the Shangpin series, which is mid-range. The room rate for one night is about 260 or 270 yuan.
This is obviously the first time Tan Zhonghong has stayed in such a hotel. He seemed very cramped and uncomfortable since he entered the door.
After entering the room, this feeling of discomfort became stronger. The key is that he saw the room rate of the hotel at the front desk. The non-member price starts at 300 yuan.
But he also knew that he couldn't refund it, and he was afraid that he would be annoying if he talked too much.
"Uncle, let's go downstairs to eat first?" Xu Anruo put the bag away and turned back.
"Oh, okay, okay." Tan Zhonghong responded.
Then, as if remembering something, he brought the wine bag in his hand over and said with a somewhat embarrassed look:
"Xiao Xu, uncle didn't buy anything good, just brought some specialties from Liucheng, you, don't be disgusted."
"Huh? Liucheng? Uncle, where are you in Guangxi?" Xu Anruo was stunned.
"Yes, it's over there."
"Uncle, you are too polite, then I will accept it. By the way, is the snail noodle a specialty there?"
Xu Anruo took the bag and was very surprised, and found a topic by the way.
Tan Zhonghong was slightly stunned, very surprised, and smiled:
"Xiao Xu, you also know snail noodles?"
"I have eaten it, it smells stinky, but I'm addicted to it after eating it once."
"That's the specialty of Liucheng. There are snail noodle shops everywhere in Liucheng. People there like this, but outsiders may not be used to it..."
The two chatted and went downstairs and left the hotel.
There is a barbecue stall not far away.
Xu Anruo ordered some barbecue, two servings of fried rice, and asked Tan Zhonghong if he wanted some beer. Tan Zhonghong shook his head and said he didn't drink.
In addition, Xu Anruo was driving the car, so he gave up and just ordered a bottle of drink.
After sitting down, Xu Anruo looked at the pale and thin man opposite him, but his eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Tan Zijin's. He couldn't help but think of those bitter things, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable.
He was about to speak, but Tan Zhonghong's face suddenly became solemn, his eyes were full of gratitude, and his voice trembled, shouting:
"Xiao, Xiao Xu?"
"Hey! Uncle, you say."
Xu Anruo responded.
But Tan Zhonghong's voice choked, his old eyes were red, and his two hands covered with calluses, the joints were so thick that they were almost deformed, and they were placed on the table, tightly clenched as if there was nowhere to put them.
Tan Zijin was like this most of the time.
Xu Anruo was stunned and realized that Tan Zhonghong was not in a good mood. He was confused, but then he realized something.
"Xiao, Xiao Xu, I called Zijin's class teacher, Teacher Yao, and Teacher Yao told me the truth. The school does not have that scholarship. Yes, Xiao Xu, you have to pay for it yourself..."
Tan Zhonghong was talking, tears streaming down his face.
As expected!
Xu Anruo really guessed it!
Otherwise, why would he come back to see me from so far away?
And from picking up Tan Zhonghong from the station, the Vino and Wucuo's performance along the way, in fact, can see the clues.
Xu Anruo quickly stopped and said:
"Uncle, uncle? Stop talking, it's nothing! The three teachers who should be thanked the most are Zijin's head teacher, my old class teacher, and Principal Zuo. They added money and helped. But you can't let Zijin know about this. Although she doesn't talk much, she is actually quite strong-willed!"
"Uncle knows, uncle knows everything! Teacher Yao also told me that he couldn't let Zijin know, but he still felt that he had to tell the parents about this matter, saying that he couldn't forget you..."
"Uncle, it's really nothing."
"Xiao Xu, don't worry about this money, uncle will definitely return it to you."
"Don't worry."
Xu Anruo smiled and shook his head.
He didn't say no, that would be bad.
At this time, fried rice came up, and barbecue also came up.
Xu Anruo opened the drink, poured a cup for Tan Zhonghong, and said:
"Uncle, eat something first to fill your stomach."
"Xiao Xu, uncle doesn't know how to thank you..."
Tan Zhonghong said, holding the cup with both hands.
Xu Anruo sighed lightly. Tan Zijin often said this.
This is the influence of the original family and parents.
"Uncle knows everything about you helping Zijin, picking up rice stalks and picking her up to report to school. Zijin called me before and told me not to be so tired and asked grandma not to farm next year. She said she would study hard and that studying can also make money..."
"She also said that she would change her major in her freshman year. The tuition fee is not so expensive and the future prospects of graduation are good."
"She didn't say these things before."
"Xiao Xu, uncleI'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Just now at the station, Zijin called me dad, but I didn't recognize her. I was wondering when my daughter became so beautiful..."
"At that time, my family called and said that Zijin got a scholarship of 55,000 yuan. On the phone, Zijin's grandmother's voice was stronger than before, and so was Zipei. Zipei said hello to her brother and said that her brother bought her a lot of books."
"Xiao Xu, uncle, uncle is incompetent and doesn't know how to thank you, but uncle remembers it all, uncle, uncle..."
Tan Zhonghong suddenly said a lot, his voice choked, and at the end, Xu Anruo's eyes turned red.
Xu Anruo thought to himself that he was not that great.
He felt that this was still not okay.
After thinking about it, Xu Anruo said solemnly:
"Uncle, don't talk like this anymore, it's really not necessary! First of all, I helped Zijin because we are classmates, she works hard, and she deserves it! Secondly, I didn't do anything, but the old hen has eaten several..."
Speaking of the old hen, Xu Anruo himself laughed embarrassedly.
But his tone was sincere, and then he said:
"And Zipei, I am an only child, so I really want to have a little sister. Oh, Zipei is so lovable. When she calls me brother, I can't wait to pick all the stars in the sky for her."
Xu Anruo's words touched Tan Zhonghong. While talking and laughing, Tan Zhonghong was also laughing.
How could he not know his own two daughters?
But Xu Anruo suddenly changed his tone and said:
"Uncle, do you know? In fact, the person I respect and admire the most is you!"
"Ah? I, I am a disabled person, what do I have, I even..."
"Uncle! Disabled people are not disabled people! "
Xu Anruo suddenly became serious.
Then, he continued:
"I know everything about you and Zijin's mother. You did nothing wrong, and you didn't let anyone down. Zijin and Zipei won't blame you. It's the damned God who is blind!"
"Xiao, Xiao Xu, you can't say that. You can't curse the sky, you can't curse the sky!" Tan Zhonghong suddenly became excited.
"Okay, I won't curse! Look at Zijin now, she is very good, she will be even better in the future. Zipei is even more extraordinary. This little guy is so smart and cute. You have supported this family with your own hands!"
