Chapter 127 Bursting Gold Coins

Chen Yuan made this decision, or rather, this resolution, directly related to his phone call with the old man that day.

"Bursting gold coins... what does that mean?"

"It's a euphemism for wanting to ask you for some money."

"Money..."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll call Mom later. Dad, go wash the dishes."

"No, what do you mean, I go wash the dishes?"

"Isn't it your turn to wash today?"

"We had noodles today, there aren't many dishes, I washed them a long time ago... but that's not the point. Tell me, how much money do you want?"

"It might be a bit much..."

"Just give me a number!"

"Two thousand five."

"..."

"Give the phone to Mom, I'm really not forcing you, I appreciate the sentiment."

"I'll WeChat you!"

"Huh?"

"You've never actively asked us for money. Now that you've brought it up, there must be a need. If you have your own reasons, I won't ask too much. Of course, I still want to ask. Just one question, is it about a boy or a girl?"

"..."

Chen Yuan's silence for more than a second and a half caused the other party to chuckle, 'Hehehe, I knew it.'

After that, it was all about how I was back then, and how you are now, and how could I not be like this, and before the transfer was sent, the old man's persistent three-question barrage of 'How is Dad?', 'Is there any Southeast male vigor?', 'Who is the head of this family?'

That day, Chen Yuan, who bent his back for five pecks of rice, felt disgusted with himself.

Fortunately, the gold coins burst out.

Then, Chen Yuan bought a high-speed rail ticket to Tanxiang and formulated this plan: submit the paper early.

That's why he activated ten times the full power, using that brain-burning method to tackle mathematical problems. He didn't want to waste a minute, absorbing the strengths of various schools, brushing through all the difficult problems. Then, he would go back to the simple problems and complete them independently.

In this way, he could become the first man in the examination hall to finish all the questions.

The reason for not using the 'Powerful Retrieval' throughout the entire process was that, on the one hand, his energy couldn't keep up, and on the other hand, if he did it in order, he might not have enough time.

Of course, the result of this was that the accuracy rate would be much lower than following the big boss of the Four Sects One Class throughout the entire process.

But that was only relative. Although he hadn't checked the answers, he was confident in getting at least 100+ points, and this score, in Haidong Province, would easily pass the preliminary round in any year.

Although this year was simpler, it wasn't the simplest year in history.

More importantly, he didn't have time.

Hailing a taxi on the street, Chen Yuan got in and immediately closed the door, then hurriedly said, "Master, go to the South Station."

The sound of the taxi door closing was very loud. Although it wasn't a new car, the driver frowned, wanting to complain: Why slam it so hard?

This kid looks like he's in a hurry to go to the South Station, probably wants me to drive faster.

Buddy, traffic safety is very important.

Listen to the police uncle, let's drive slowly.

A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. The driver, thinking of not granting this kid's wish, glanced at the rearview mirror with a sense of schadenfreude, only to find the other party sitting calmly in the car, without any panic.

Huh?

Isn't he in a hurry?

"Master, you drive very steadily."

Suddenly, this kid even started talking.

Moreover, he's praising me?

"Ah... it's okay." The driver's mood was slightly less hostile.

He was indeed annoyed by driving, so he was annoyed by everything he saw.

Actually, what does it matter if someone slams the car door?

It's an old car anyway.

Hey, I need to be more positive...

"I don't like those old drivers who drive recklessly, speeding all the way, relying on their driving skills to show off." With a bright smile, Chen Yuan warmly praised, "It's better to be steady, better to be steady..."

Before he finished speaking, the driver's face suddenly darkened.

He fiddled with the gears like Takumi Fujiwara, then stepped on the accelerator and shot out.

In a taxi, Chen Yuan actually felt a sense of pushback!

This should be on time, right?

Although he looked calm, he was actually very flustered. After all, the normal car ride there was thirty minutes, and he had to enter the station fifteen minutes in advance. But it took time to get out of school, and it took time to get out of the car and go through security... If he could compress the time to the South Station to twenty-five minutes, then it would be stable.

Inciting the driver like this was a last resort.

But drivers are really easy to get riled up.

[Good driving skills?]

What's wrong?

[Have you seen what good driving skills are?]

What are good driving skills?

[What do you think I did before I drove a taxi?]

What did you do?

[I didn't do anything, I started driving a taxi as soon as I entered society!]

Wow!

This driver's driving skills are indeed okay. The speed even exceeded the speed limit by less than ten percent, a reasonable range that wouldn't be punished. He knew the ways of a driver.

The thirty-minute car ride actually only took him twenty minutes, causing even the navigation's Xiao Tuantuan to panic: Speeding, speeding, I want to put wings on you now, to see if you can fly.

Fortunately, he made it.

Before stopping the car, Chen Yuan scanned the QR code and paid the fare. Then, covering his mouth, he pushed open the car door and stood tremblingly in front of the station.

"Sorry, Xinyu, let me rest for ten seconds..."

Supporting his forehead, Chen Yuan, who was almost thrown up from the speeding, rested in place for a while, and then quickened his pace to run into the station.

Swipe the ID card, go through security, find the waiting area, and quickly go up the escalator. When he arrived at gate B2, there were only a few people left in line.

Chen Yuan quickly stepped forward and followed behind the line.

Then, he adjusted his breathing and regained his composure.

In any case, he made it.

Taking out his phone and opening WeChat, looking at the contact Xia Xinyu, he was silent for a while, but still didn't tell her that he had departed at this time.

She... should be very busy right now.

………

Xia Xinyu didn't get to rest well after getting out of the car, as Chen Yuan had said.

As her parents' only daughter, she had too many things to do.

Even with the help of her aunt and uncle and some relatives, there were still many things she needed to decide on her own, and many social obligations.

Inheritance, funeral, death certificate, condolence money, funeral expenses, banquets, etc...

And today was the important banquet.

Expressing gratitude for the condolences of these guests and accepting their comfort.

Until the burial tomorrow morning, this part of the past would be over.

She thought she would be overwhelmed with sadness and unable to accept this reality.

But in reality, she was too busy, too busy.

There was simply no time for sadness.

While distracted, a good friend from junior high school walked to the mourning hall, took three incense sticks, lit them, and bowed three times to the portrait.

Xia Xinyu was also kneeling on the cushion next to her. When the other party bowed, she bowed three times to the guests to express her gratitude.

After offering incense, the girl held Xia Xinyu's hands with tears in her eyes, wanting to say something, but couldn't. So, she gave her a hug and choked, "Xinyu... my condolences."

"Yeah." Xia Xinyu nodded slightly, then touched the other party's head and smiled faintly.

She never understood why people smiled and toasted the guests, smiling and accepting other people's comfort at funerals.

Now she understood.

It was to show gratitude for other people's kindness and to tell them that she could persevere, giving strength to the living.

If she just collapsed like this, those who truly cared about her would be sad.

"Are you still going back to Xia Hai?" the girl asked, sobbing.

They had discussed this matter today.

Many relatives believed that she should transfer back to Shaoxiang, and her uncle in Shaoxiang City directly said that she should live in his house until graduation.

Although her aunt insisted because Xia Hai could receive a better education, now that her parents were gone, she only had one grandfather left. There were more relatives in Shaoxiang, and they could help her more in normal times.

Even more practically, instead of her aunt's family providing assistance, the entire family, with each person contributing a share, could more fully support Xia Xinyu, this poor child, as she grew up.

"I'm going back, back to Xia Hai."

Looking at her good friend from junior high school, Xia Xinyu answered with a confident smile.

Her friend still wanted to persuade her, since she was studying at Shaoxiang No. 1 High School, but since the other party had already decided, she could only offer her blessings: "Then you must take care of yourself, call me when you have time..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Xia Xinyu's phone suddenly vibrated with a WeChat message notification: Ding-dong~

"Yeah, yeah."

Xia Xinyu nodded and took out her phone.

Then, she saw that it was sent by Chen Yuan.

After clicking on it, it was a voice message.

He hadn't sent her a message all day, why did he suddenly send a voice message...

Stare——

Although she didn't raise her head, Xia Xinyu felt the gaze.

Moreover, although the other party didn't make a sound, she heard someone saying: What voice message? Open it. See what he's saying, open it, what are you panicking about?

Okay, okay, I'll open it.
