The next day, Chiang Kai-shek's birthday banquet was held at a three-star hotel not far from the school.
The quality is not high, and it falls within the consumption level of ordinary people.
We have reserved a private room in the hotel restaurant, and there is only one table full of guests.
Chen Nuo first went to the kindergarten to pick up Chen Xiaoye in the afternoon, and then took his sister home to change clothes and dress up Xiaoye beautifully.
This is not to make the children look good, but for Lao Jiang.
According to the tradition here in Jinling, when an old man celebrates his birthday, his children must welcome him and offer him tea and wine.
Lao Jiang and Sister Song had no children, and Xiao Zizi was the couple's only daughter. Although they did not know each other as relatives, they could still express their feelings to each other, so that the old man's fiftieth birthday would not seem too lonely.
The look of Little Ye Zi being beaten by her brother is particularly festive - so to speak, it can be painted back then just by mounting it in a frame.
When they arrived at the hotel, Chen Nuo took his sister's hand and entered the private room, where Lao Jiang and Song Qiaoyun were already there.
The whole Sun family arrived. When Sun Keke saw Chen Nuo coming in, his eyes suddenly lit up. He jumped up from his chair and was about to go to the door to greet him. Old Sun coughed hard, and his body suddenly became half shorter.
Yang Xiaoyi felt a little unhappy, so she took her daughter's hand, pushed her back to her seat, and whispered: "What do girls look like! Can't get married or something!"
Sun Keke was probably bothered by Old Sun at home last night, and she didn't do well in the final exam, so she felt a little guilty, so she had to sit down obediently, but kept glancing at Chen Nuo.
Chen Nuo gave her a "reassured" look, and first took Ye Zi over to wish Lao Jiang a birthday.
In addition to a large round dining table in the private room, there is also a square table in the corner.
Lao Sun, Lao Jiang, Song Qiaoyun, and another math teacher from the school were sitting in a circle playing mahjong.
Seeing Chen Nuo's arrival, Lao Jiang put down a card in his hand and glanced at the two bottles of Maotai brought by Chen Nuo. Lao Jiang smacked his mouth and sighed. His eyes were a bit complicated, but in the end
Without saying much, he said softly: "The child is a waste of money."
Chen Nuo was laughing and joking, as if he didn't understand Lao Jiang's distress, his eyes drifted to the cards in front of Lao Jiang, and he said with a smile: "Teacher Jiang... is good at doing everything, oh, this is a solo..."
"Hey! Don't say that!"
Lao Jiang's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly blocked the tiles. The excitement in his heart suddenly disappeared. He glared and shouted: "Go away! What are you watching when adults play mahjong!"
It's only around four o'clock now, and there's still some time before dinner starts.
There are no classes with Lao Jiang in the school this afternoon, and there are no cram schools either... The third grade students are collectively studying science today.
It was rare for Lao Jiang, a Chinese teacher, to have free time, and he was celebrating his birthday, so he had a half-day of leisure.
It was fitting that these words fell upon Comrade Jiang Fusheng.
Although Sun Keke was forbidden by Yang Xiaoyi to get close to Chen Nuo, but... Chen Yanluo was shameless!
Chen Nuo pursed his lips at Little Zi Zi, and the girl immediately understood. She ran over with her short legs, called Aunt Yang affectionately, and then got into Sun Keke's arms.
Sun Keke hugged Little Ye Zi like a big doll, and then Chen Nuo, the little piggy, leaned over right away.
Yang Xiaoyi obviously doesn't have a particularly good impression of Chen Nuo - mainly because she doesn't like Chen Nuo being in love with her daughter.
Although his face was polite and he didn't say anything unpleasant, he still showed a sense of politeness and distance in his words.
But... Chen Nuo is shameless.
If you are cold, you are cold, and I don't expect you to be warm.
Chen Nuo chatted with Sun Keke in a sly manner. Seeing her daughter flirting with this boy, Yang Xiaoyi felt her heart aching.
He deliberately asked Lao Sun to take care of it, but who knew that after he coughed a few times, Lao Sun's eyes finally drifted over.
But seeing that Chen Nuo was only talking to Sun Keke without any physical contact, Old Sun just ignored it, withdrew his gaze and continued to touch the mahjong tiles.
Lao Sun's idea is actually very simple: we can't stop talking, let's just talk!
But don't get too intimate. There are some things that cannot be crossed.
It's all about emotion and reason...
Well, luckily I managed to fool him until after graduation. After my daughter went to college, she was out of sight and out of mind.
Yang Xiaoyi felt helpless and looked really upset, so she simply went over and patted Lao Sun, taking his place.
Lao Sun stood up and gave way to his wife, and then looked behind for a while. When he was addicted to cigarettes, he touched the cigarette case. Suddenly he remembered that there were children in the room. After enduring it, he wanted to go out and smoke.
Chen Nuo had already noticed it and directly took Xiao Zizi's hand: "Come on, the room is a bit stuffy. I will take you out for a walk."
Sun Keke heard it and immediately understood: "I'll go too!"
Lao Sun took a look and frowned, but finally sighed and waved his hand: "Don't run away!"
That's all, this considerate little cotton-padded jacket of mine probably won't last a few years before it's gone home.
Let her be.
·
There was actually nothing interesting in the hotel. Chen Nuo took two girls, one older and one younger, out of the hotel lobby directly, and then walked along the street to the east, which was an old street.
I remember that there were some snack vendors in the alley behind this old street. In fact, it wasn’t anything particularly rare, it was just fried skewers, sizzling squid and the like.
Walking on the road, Sun Keke's face was filled with joy. The three of them walked in a row, with classmate Chen Xiaoye in the middle, holding his brother with his left hand and Sun Keke with his right hand.
Sun Keke felt sweet in her heart, with a shy blush on her face.
I remember when I was a child, a family of three walked like this when we went out.
I am in the middle, holding my father with my left hand and my mother with my right hand.
This way of walking, in Sun Keke's mind, was probably the sweetest and happiest "family of three" appearance in his fantasy.
More than ten years later... I and Chen Xiaozizi should probably walk like this...
The girl's family had already thought about what would happen more than ten years later, but Chen Nuo didn't feel it at all.
A fried skewer at the intersection of an alley caught Chen Yanluo's attention.
The sound of the frying pan sizzling oil sounds so tempting.
Some students who had finished school had gathered in front of the stall. Chen Nuo and his two girls squeezed into the crowd, ordered fried quail for himself, fried rice cakes for his sister, and took two skewers of dried tofu before turning back.
Look at Sun Keke.
"Ham sausage."
"Hey, aren't you afraid of getting fat? Are you willing to eat meat?" Chen Nuo said with a smile.
Sun Keke has actually been losing weight recently, and I don’t know where the evil trend came from!
What’s so good about being thin!
It’s better to be fatter!
Sun Keke's face was a little red and she whispered: "It's okay, my mother said, the ham sausage is full of starch and has no meat."
Well, there's nothing wrong with that...
When pork costs ten yuan a pound, ham sausage costs two yuan a piece.
When pork costs thirty yuan a pound, ham sausage costs two yuan a piece.
It can be seen that this ham sausage has nothing to do with meat.
The ham sausage was peeled off from its packaging, and the boss expertly made seven or eight cuts on it with a knife, then threw it into the frying pan.
In fact, Sun Keke was either hungry or greedy. She swallowed her saliva, then waited for the boss to finish frying, picked up the bamboo skewers and skewered them, and took them over with a smile.
The first bite was given to classmate Chen Xiaoye... the girl still loved Xiaoye very much.
In a sense, these three people can be regarded as a family of three.
After walking around the alley, there wasn't much to see. However, at a roasted seed shop in the alley, I bought two yuan worth of sunflower seeds for Xiao Zizi.
Stir-fried in a big pot, the kind without any added flavoring. At most, you just add a few handfuls of coarse salt when frying.
Hold a big and full nut in your hand, put it between your teeth and gently knock it, and you can feel the slight pure aroma of the nut itself filling your mouth.
Unlike those melon seeds produced more than ten years later, such as Qiaqia, if you eat too much, your mouth will be filled with the smell of spices, and it is easy to be unappetizing.
The melon seeds were weighed for two yuan... Little Leaf is still small, so if you don't give her more to eat, it will be bad for her teeth.
Chen Nuo secretly watched Sun Keke's greed, so he asked the boss to pack a bag of hot chestnuts that had just been roasted.
In 2001, roasted chestnuts were actually quite expensive. Sun Keke liked this stuff, but he didn't eat much on weekdays. Chen Nuo directly asked the boss to weigh it for fifty yuan, and put it warm into several large paper bags.
Inside, wrap it in Sun Keke’s arms.
"Why did you buy so much? If you can't finish it, it won't taste good when it gets cold." Sun Keke felt a little sorry for Chen Nuo's money.
"It's okay. There will be your mother and a few teachers in the room when we go back. Let's share the food together." Chen Nuo smiled and pinched Sun Keke's face...
The girl was holding chestnuts with both hands and could not push Chen Yanluo's hand away. Although she twisted her neck hard, Chen Nuo still pinched her face twice.
In fact, Chen Nuo is also in a good mood.
One thing that many women don't know is that if a man faces a woman he likes, he is very willing to go to great lengths to pamper her.
When a man pampers his woman, he will also get a very pleasurable psychological feeling.
An unusual family of three wandered in the alleys of this old street for more than half an hour. When they returned to the intersection, they were suddenly stopped.
There was a man in front of him who looked to be about thirty years old. His appearance was quite ordinary, even a little decent.
It's a pity that a bunch of very abrupt black hairs appeared on the left eyebrow, which made this person's appearance unconsciously look a little more cunning.
He was wearing a gray cloth robe and a pair of cloth shoes that few people wore. His hair was a bit long and messy. There was even a small bun tied casually on the top of his head, which was slightly raised.
With his hands folded into his sleeves, the man cupped his hands.
"You three please!"
Sun Keke and Xiao Yezi were a little confused, but Chen Nuo stopped, smiled curiously, and looked at this person.
The man's eyes moved around the faces of the three people, and then fell on Sun Keke's face. He seemed to frown and thought for a moment: "This female donor...you have a bad omen!"
"..." Chen Nuo sighed.
That's it?
What did you think it was...
This kind of quackery is boring.
Is there a bad omen? Whether my little Keke is wearing a bra or not is none of your business.
This was all a joke from 2007, and now it’s still being said...
Uh, no, it's only 2001.
Chen Nuo sighed, looked at this person, smiled, took out ten dollars from his pocket and shook it: "Do you have the Palm of Tathagata? Here's a copy."
"...Huh?" The man was stunned.
"No? Forget it." Chen Nuo put away the money, took the two girls and left.
"Huh? Wait a minute! Don't leave!"
This person took a few steps to catch up, then stopped in front of him, and hugged Sun Keke with both fists: "Female donor, have you been having trouble with everything lately?"
"Huh?" Chen Nuo suddenly raised his eyebrows.
"The black clouds are lingering above the female benefactor's Heavenly Palace. If it is not resolved early, once the black energy takes shape and becomes overwhelming, disaster may be imminent!"
Sun Keke was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but he also heard that the words were not good. He raised his eyebrows and was about to say something, but was stopped by Chen Nuo.
Chen Nuo was neither angry nor anxious, and looked at the man with a smile: "Taoist?"
The man smiled and clasped his hands together: "Wu Daozi, a poor fellow!"
tui!!
Painting Saint, did he agree to your piracy?
I was still a little curious at first, but when I heard this name, I felt that I was not an expert - who was really an expert who gave me this name?
"Forget it, we believe in Bodhisattvas." Chen Nuo shook his head and pulled the two girls to leave again.
"Stay here!"
Wu Daozi's eyes widened, and he quickly took two steps back, his face troubled: "Well... you guys wait a moment."
The man sighed, took off his gray robe on the spot, turned it over, and put it on backwards...
Good guy!
Can be worn on both sides!
This side of the inside, with its threads and threads, actually looks like a cassock!
With a quick swipe on his head, the man took off his messy wig, revealing a slightly short head.
What is a slightly short head?
You'd say he has a bald head, but it's not completely bald. There's still a thin layer on top, so short that people can clearly see his scalp.
Let's put it this way, the boss Guo of Deyun Club in the early years had this hair shape before he had a peach heart.
The man's sleeves flicked and he clasped his hands together.
"Amitabha, the poor monk has attained enlightenment! The three benefactors belong to the same family as the Buddha, and the poor monk also serves the Buddha."
Oops!
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people!
I know you are a liar, and I am obviously treating you like a fool!
Chen Nuo was angry instead.
He looked this person up and down and narrowed his eyes: "Okay, you're done pretending to be a Taoist monk, right? I won't talk nonsense about anything else. Can you read me a passage from the Diamond Sutra... I'll pay twenty!"
As he spoke, he took out a twenty-dollar bill from his pocket and shook it.
The fake monk blinked his eyelids...
"I heard that at one time, the Buddha was in the Solitary Garden of Savatthi, together with a group of 1,250 great bhikkhus. At that time, the World Honored One, while he was eating, put on his robes and held an alms bowl, and went to the great city of Savatthi to beg for food.
In the city, after begging from time to time, I returned to my place. After eating, I collected my clothes and bowl, washed my feet, and sat down..."
After reciting this point quickly, the fake monk looked at Chen Nuo: "That's all for the first chapter... Do you want me to continue reading the second chapter?"
Chen Nuo really laughed.
This liar has a job!
He quickly stuffed twenty yuan directly into this man's hand: "You've worked hard on memorizing it, you should be rewarded!"
After saying that, he pulled Sun Keke and Xiao Yezi away again.
"etc!!"
The fake monk stopped me again.
First stuffing the money into his pocket, the fake monk looked at Chen Nuo and then at Sun Keke: "I didn't lie to you, this female donor is really having bad luck!"
"oh?"
"Has everything been going wrong for this female donor lately, and she always encounters some unpleasant surprises?"
"Yes, yes." Chen Nuo nodded.
"It's not a big deal when you think about it, but it happens frequently, big or small, right?"
"That's right." Chen Nuo nodded. Next to him, Sun Keke was also a little curious and stared at the fake monk.
"You must have suffered a lot, and you have probably been scolded in social situations. I am afraid there must be some setbacks in your career and studies, right?"
"Huh?" Chen Nuo smiled, and the young man's eyes narrowed to a thin line!
·
The fake monk sighed and said slowly: "It seems that the poor monk is right. Today's encounter is fate. The poor monk has a way to help the benefactor resolve this misfortune... Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh.
?”
Before he finished speaking, Chen Nuo had already grabbed the man's hand. With a flick of his wrist, he twisted the man's arm behind his back, forcing him to bend down.
"Tell me, how many days have you been eyeing my girlfriend? How did you do that on the stairs, and how did you go to school to steal the answers to the exam papers?" Although Chen Nuo was smiling, his eyes had turned cold.
.
"Ah? What? Oh! It's unfair! Brother, let go, let go! Oh, it's broken, it's broken, it's going to be broken..."
As soon as Chen Nuo let go, he used a secret force to send the man to the ground. The fake monk immediately sat on the ground. He rubbed his shoulders with one hand and sighed: "This brother, you are too reckless!
You have wronged me."
"Don't call me brother." Chen Nuo said calmly: "If I don't explain clearly, you will have to kneel down and call me dad in a while."
