Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 108 The Village Chief Asked Me to Repair the Road? (Part 1)
after an hour.

Chen Yan and his family of three sat at the dining table, preparing to eat.

Old Chen also opened a bottle of Feitian Moutai that Chen Yan had brought back and poured a glass for himself and his son.

As soon as He Juan sat down at the table, she couldn't help but gossip, "Chen Yan, is Xiao Jiang from the same school as you?"

Under Ms. He's persistent questioning, Chen Yan briefly mentioned Jiang Zhixin's name and family situation, but didn't say much else.

Therefore, at this time, He Juan knew Jiang Zhixin, but not much.

While picking up some food, Chen Yan said, "We're from the same school. She's a graduate student and my senior, but she'll graduate next year. She'll probably stay on as a teacher."

In fact, he said this after some thought.

If I were to directly say that Jiang Zhixin is my teacher, my parents might not be able to accept it for a while, after all, they are both over 40 years old, and there is still a generation gap in their thinking and ideas with young people...

But if he said she was his senior, it would be much easier to accept. Besides, he had already foreshadowed that Jiang Zhixin would stay at the university as a teacher after graduating next year.

In this way, by next year, the taboo surrounding their identities will no longer exist.

After all, I've been friends with you since you were a student. You can't possibly call me a disobedient student, can you?
Upon hearing that Jiang Zhixin was going to be a teacher, He Juan's face lit up with joy: "It's good for girls to be teachers. It's stable, respectable, and the benefits are good too."

When are you planning to go to her house?

"I think it's the second year of junior high."

"Oh, when is she coming to our house?"

"I haven't asked yet."

……

Meanwhile, in a high-end residential community in Shanghai.

Jiang Zhixin had just finished lunch and was wearing a coral fleece pajama set, curled up on the sofa watching a TV series.

Wu Lian came out of the kitchen, carrying a plate of freshly washed cherries, and placed it in front of her: "Xinxin, has Xiao Chen said when he's coming to our house to wish us a Happy New Year?"

Jiang Zhixin picked up a cherry and put it into her delicate little mouth, muttering, "He told me on WeChat that he would come over in the second year of junior high."

"Oh, that's good."

Wu Lian glanced at her daughter and continued, "Xinxin, Xiao Chen has already come to our house. When are you going to meet his parents?"

Jiang Zhixin's expression froze, and the cherry in her hand stopped at her lips. After a moment, she slowly chewed and swallowed it, her expression somewhat unnatural.

"Mom, why are you in such a hurry? I'm not mentally prepared yet."

Wu Lian sat down beside her, gently patted her hand, and said earnestly:
“You two have been dating for more than half a year, and you’ll be 26 tonight. I think you should meet each other’s parents this year, and then get married next year after Xiao Chen graduates.”

"mom!"

Jiang Zhixin drawled, "I'm only 24!"

"Then you'd be 26 by the traditional Chinese age reckoning, wouldn't you?"

"We young people all talk about one's first birthday!"

"You're almost 30, do you still think you're a young person?"

"I...I'm not eating anymore!"

Jiang Zhixin pushed the cherries in front of her aside, got up with a "whoosh" and walked towards her bedroom.

Wu Lian called out to Jiang Zhixin's retreating figure, "Remember to tell Xiao Chen!"

However, her response was a loud "bang" as the door slammed shut.

In the bedroom.

Jiang Zhixin lay on the bed, hugging a pillow in her arms, and muttered softly, "What if his parents don't like me?"

She bit her lower lip, hesitated for a while, and then picked up her phone to start typing: "Chen Yan, um... my mom asked me to ask you if I should visit your house for the New Year this year?"

Chen Yan was just thinking about how to trick Jiang Zhixin into coming to his house when she unexpectedly couldn't resist anymore.

So he seized the opportunity and said, "How about this, I'll come to your house to pay my respects on the afternoon of the second day of the Lunar New Year, have dinner at your house, and then you can come back to Ningbo with me."

Jiang Zhixin quickly replied, "Huh? Where will I stay tonight?"

Chen Yingjun: "Let's stay in a hotel." Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: "Oh, okay then."

Chen Yingjun: "Okay, then it's settled."

After exiting the WeChat chat, Chen Yan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then walked to Old Chen's side: "Dad, I remember the manager of Nanshan Park is your friend, right?"

Old Chen was drinking tea and watching TV when he heard his son ask this question. He looked at him in surprise and said, "Yeah, why are you asking this?"

"Hey, give me his number, I need to ask him for a favor."

"Okay, you can just call him Uncle Bai. He even held you when you were little."

Without asking for the specific reason, Chen Guodong sent his contact information to Chen Yan's phone.

"Okay, thanks, Dad."

"You brat, why are you thanking me?"

……

That evening, Chen Yan and his family of three enjoyed a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

Old Chen and He Juan were both very happy today, partly because Chen Yan came home today, and partly because during his time at school, Chen Yan not only started a company and became a boss, but also found a girlfriend who was as beautiful as a celebrity.

Chen Guodong drank a full three liang (approximately 3ml) of baijiu (Chinese liquor) that night, and He Juan, unusually, didn't stop him.

After dinner, the couple went to the village's card and chess room to play mahjong.

In rural areas, playing cards and mahjong on New Year's Eve seems to have become a long-standing tradition.

Chen Yan was home alone, idly scrolling through the news and playing games.

After some time, I received a message on WeChat.

Chen Yan opened WeChat and was immediately disappointed!
It was sent by Yang Jinquan.

"Damn, I thought it was a message from a girl."

Takumi Usui: "Yotoko, are you going to your high school reunion?"

Chen Yingjun: "What class reunion?"

Takumi Usui: "Didn't you see the high school QQ group? Bai Jinxuan organized a dinner party for us junior high students tonight, and Han Jingyao will be there too."

Chen Yingjun: "Who is Bai Jinxuan? And who is Han Jingyao?"

Takumi Usui: "Damn it, stop pretending with me. It's only been half a year, and you don't even remember your classmates' names?"

Takumi Usui: "Bai Jinxuan is our class monitor. Han Jingyao is the prettiest girl in our class and the school beauty of our year. Didn't you tell me back then that she was the object of your fantasies at night?"

Chen Yan lay on the sofa, struggling to recall the two names. It wasn't that he had a bad memory; it was mainly because he went to university the day after he was reborn.

Including his previous life, he had actually not been in contact with his high school classmates for more than ten years.

"Bai Jinxuan, Han Jingyao. I seem to vaguely remember them..."

After a long while, Chen Yan finally remembered the two people.

Bai Jinxuan was their class monitor. He scored over 700 points on the college entrance exam and was admitted to Tsinghua University. He was the top scorer in their class.

Han Jingyao has the face of a first love. When they were in high school, Chen Yan had a crush on her for a while.

But then again, he wasn't the only one. Back then, all the boys in the class had a crush on her. It's no exaggeration to say that she was practically the heart of the entire class of 2013 at Tzu Chi High School.

However, after Chen Yan graduated, he was busy with work and entrepreneurship. After his business succeeded, he was surrounded by internet celebrity beauties, and he no longer remembered his white moonlight from high school.

Chen Yan thought that since staying at home was boring anyway, going out for a meal would be a good way to pass the time.

So he replied to Yang Jinquan: "Go ahead, I have nothing to do at home anyway."

Takumi Usui: "Sure, if you go, I'll go too."
