Standing outside Loma City, Lin Dingqiang stared at it for a long time, he never thought that the city he was thinking about was actually an empty city.

This was the first stop for Lin Huo and the others to arrive in Italy, and they wanted to go to Venice first, but in the end they chose the capital.

I thought I could see the bustling crowd, but now in front of the two of them are only the guards holding iron swords at the gate of the city, and the guards are only sculptures, but the doves on their shoulders are living creatures.

The doors of the shops are closed, and the streets are devoid of pedestrians.

I finally met two or three pedestrians on the street corner, and when I listened carefully, what they said was not Yiduli, like Lin Huo and the others, they were both foreign tourists, not the masters of the city.

"In such a big city, there is not even a single figure?" The two strolled through the streets, and Lin Dingqiang asked curiously, "Are we in the wrong place?"

Huo Jinwei smiled: "It's Christmas soon, these Italian people have started a long vacation, and everyone has started a vacation." ”

Lin Dingqiang reacted at this time, "Yes, it's almost Christmas." ”

"Then what gifts have you prepared?" Huo Jinwei asked rhetorically.

"The streets are closed, where can I buy them?" Lin Dingqiang wondered: "No, since they are all closed, where can I buy that Triangel?"

Huo Jinwei looked like she was in her chest, "Where there are Chinese, there will always be shops that are not closed, come with me." ”

In a circle, the two came to a small boutique store, which, as Huo Jinwei said, was owned by a Chinese.

The door of the store is a one- or two-hole arched façade with two bluestone steps, and the doors and windows are yellow and blue, and you can see through the windows that there are a variety of small goods inside.

"Will it be imported from Yiwu? and then you export it to domestic sales?" Lin Dingqiang pushed open the glass door and quipped: "When the time comes, it will take a big circle, it is better to buy one on Taobao!"

Huo Jinwei glanced at Lin Dingqiang, and then said, "Then you have to help choose well." ”

The two entered the store and saw Triangel on a wall from afar.

The dolls were the size of a palm, and each of them was dressed in colorful and beautiful costumes typical of European courts, and the name came from the tricorne hat on the head.

Girls have always had no resistance to cute things, and after Huo Jinwei saw so many delicate and cute dolls, the girl's heart was also overflowing, and she didn't know which one to choose for a while.

She picked up one of the dolls dressed in black and tied with a pink ribbon and said, "Ding Qiang, do you know? Never leave you!"

Lin Dingqiang stuck in his trouser pocket and said with a smile: "This is why the mountain doesn't come to me, so I'll go to the mountain?"

"Boring!" Huo Jinwei turned her head? Then he asked, "You can take a picture of Zhao Lei?" Ask her which one she prefers. ”

Lin Dingqiang took out his mobile phone and took a photo of Zhao Lei? And then pick up a doll? Tsai took a closer look.

"What are you looking at?"

"I'll see if it's made in China." Lin Dingqiang said half-jokingly: "If it's true, I'll buy one for Xiaolei online?" She doesn't have to wait. ”

"Why are you so unemotional?" Huo Jinwei knew that this was Lin Dingqiang joking, "Some gifts are of origin or not?" The most important thing is a heart. ”

And at this time? Zhao Lei also chose the one she liked among the many dolls, which was a white doll with dark blue.

"That's it. Lin Dingqiang took off the doll and continued: "Pay and leave." ”

"Didn't you give it to me?" Huo Jinwei took the one she held in her hand? Blinking his eyes, he asked, "Why do you want me to pay?"

Lin Dingqiang chuckled: "When you were on the plane? I've transferred the money!"

Huo Jinwei was also taken aback when she received Lin Dingqiang's 2 million tour fee, but it didn't take long for this excitement to disappear. She explained: "You see, we spent an extra day in Brussels, and the cost naturally went up. You don't have enough money!"

Lin Dingqiang also knew that Huo Jinwei actually wanted to buy this doll herself? But he still said: "What kind of group costs 2 million a day!"

"Huo Jinwei's private playhouse!" Huo Jinwei pushed Lin Dingqiang's back and walked towards the cash register? "Don't grind, pay quickly!"

Ultimately? Lin Dingqiang bought two fate dolls for 180 euros, and the first thing Huo Jinwei did after walking out of the store was to hang the not very valuable doll on her valuable Hermes? It seems that there is more embellishment of this doll? The originally ordinary Hermès platinum bag has a different light.

"Where are we going now?" Lin Dingqiang asked, "I also bought the dolls?" There was no one on the street, and it felt like a trip for nothing. ”

"How can it be considered for nothing?" Huo Jinwei said reluctantly: "I have a gift!"

"Mine?"

"It's not there yet!" Huo Jinwei smiled lightly, "I'll take you to meet someone." ”

"Who?"

Huo Jinwei took a taxi and said: "It's an uncle of mine, he turned out to be a famous tenor singer on Hong Kong Island, and he settled down in Loma because he loves the bel canto singing method of Yiduli. Since we are all here, let's go and meet him. ”

Lin Dingqiang asked: "Do you want to bring some souvenirs or something?" After all, it is to see the elders, and go empty-handed, so there is a little less courtesy. ”

Huo Jinwei was stunned for a second, and asked meaningfully, "See the elders?"

"Isn't he your uncle, he must be an elder!" Lin Dingqiang realized that what he had just said was a little ambiguous, and said stiffly: "Isn't it?"

Huo Jinwei burst out laughing, and her heart was even more happy, "No, we still have to be old clansmen again!"

"How?"

"These shops are not open, what are we eating?" Huo Jinwei asked rhetorically: "I just went to his house to eat, and after we were full, we continued the journey." ”

The two got into a taxi, and after Huo Jinwei gave the detailed address, she didn't notify the uncle in advance, so she rushed over with Lin Dingqiang.

The car was driving on the streets of Loma, and Lin Dingqiang realized that the scenery he saw along the way was just the product of his grandchildren in front of Loma.

There are countless sculptures and palaces along the way, looking out through the car window, there is indeed an indescribable momentum in this land, which is the overall capture of the birthplace of culture.

After about half an hour, the two came to a small three-story bungalow. The iron gate at the door of the bungalow is covered with withered rose vines, and only a few dead leaves are thrown at the insistence to tell the beauty of spring blooms.

Huo Jinwei stepped forward and rang the doorbell, and after the bell rang three times, a calm male voice came from the intercom, "chi e'"

"Uncle Jiang, I'm Jinwei!" Huo Jinwei said happily.

After hearing Huo Jinwei's voice, the man was distracted for half a second, and then immediately reacted, "Why are you here? Come in! Come in!"

The iron door was unlocked at this moment, Huo Jinwei took the lead in the front, Lin Dingqiang followed closely, and after passing through a narrow path and walking up three or five stone steps, the door of the house finally opened.

Lin Dingqiang saw a middle-aged man in a nightgown and combing his oily hair standing at the door with a smile, and after seeing Huo Jinwei, he greeted: "Weiwei, are you doing a surprise attack? Don't tell me in advance, I'll pick you up!"

The man saw Lin Dingqiang behind Huo Jinwei, the two men nodded and said hello, and Huo Jinwei said, "I just came from Brussels with Ding Qiang, and I don't want to trouble you." However, there are no open restaurants on the street, only to come to you for a meal. ”

"Do you think of your uncle when you haven't eaten?" said the man with a smile, "Why don't you usually remember to call me?" Come on, I just made coffee and drank it first. ”

The two entered the house, Lin Dingqiang saw at a glance the various trophies and medals placed on the fireplace, the red fire burned the room very warm, with the aroma of coffee and the unique taste of cigars, there is really a kind of enjoyment and love for life.

The man invited the two to sit on the sofa, took out a new cigar from the cigar cabinet, and handed it to Lin Dingqiang, "Young man, do you smoke it? ”

Before Lin Dingqiang could speak, Huo Jinwei helped him agree, "Ding Qiang has been holding back all the way, uncle, how do you know that he wants to smoke tomatoes?"

"There will always be a special temperament in this tomato smoker. The man said slowly, "This young man looks like a fellow believer!"

Huo Jinwei picked up the cigar scissor on the table and cut the eggplant for Lin Dingqiang, and then lit it again, and then sent it to Lin Dingqiang's hand.

"I haven't introduced myself yet. Lin Dingqiang took the cigar and said solemnly: "Hello uncle, I am Lin Dingqiang." ”

"Hello," the man nodded, "I'm Jiang Kangping." When you and Wei Wei got married, I had already gone abroad, and I couldn't attend your wedding, I regret it! However, when I saw such a spirited young man today, and his conversation was extraordinary, I knew that Wei Wei had chosen the wrong person at the beginning. ”

Jiang Kangping regarded Lin Dingqiang as Jiang Jiamu, which made Lin Dingqiang a little embarrassed.

Huo Jinwei frowned, "Uncle, you admit your mistake. He is not him. ”

The cigar in Jiang Kangping's hand shook three times, and his face also showed an embarrassed look, after all, it was probably more embarrassing to recognize the wrong person on such an occasion than to break the sound on the stage.

Lin Dingqiang saw that Jiang Kangping was a little at a loss for a while, and eased the atmosphere, "Today is the first time my uncle and I have met, so it is inevitable that we will not be familiar with it." When you see more in the future, you will be able to get to know each other. Re-introduction, hello uncle, I am Lin Dingqiang, Huo Jinwei's friend. ”

Jiang Kangping nodded again and again, "Xiaolin! Xiaolin! It's good now!"

The three of them laughed in unison again, and Jiang Kangping continued: "How long have you been here to play?"

"I'll leave this afternoon. Huo Jinwei replied, "We have to go somewhere else." ”

"In such a hurry?"

Huo Jinwei showed the fate doll on the bag, "In order to buy it!"

Jiang Kangping has been in Luoma for so many years, so he naturally understands the meaning of the fate doll, and when he looks at the smile on Huo Jinwei's face, he has even more guesses in his heart.

"That's right, it's a good souvenir. Jiang Kangping quipped: "Just buy one, if you have more, it won't work." ”

"It's definitely working!" Huo Jinwei said confidently, "Just wait and see!"

"Okay, uncle, I'll wait. Jiang Kangping looked at the two of them with a grin, "You didn't mention it today, and I didn't have any preparations." Just make do with something to eat at noon?"

"It's nice to have something to eat. Huo Jinwei said sensibly: "Why don't I give you a hand?"

"Eh, how can a lady do the work in the kitchen?" Jiang Kangping stood up, "I'll go with Xiaolin, and you sit here." ”

Lin Dingqiang put the cigar that had not yet smoked two puffs on the ash rack, and then followed Jiang Kangping to the kitchen.

"Uncle, what do you want to help with?" Lin Dingqiang took off his suit jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and said energetically: "I can still cook." ”

Jiang Kangping handed an onion to Lin Dingqiang and asked, "Xiaolin, how long have you known Weiwei?"

"It's been a few months. Lin Dingqiang responded.

"Vivi is a very good child, she has been very independent since she was a child. Jiang Kangping took out another piece of beef from the refrigerator, and continued: "When I was a child, her family was not very valued, and she and her brother worked hard. Now, I heard that she is already in charge of the Huo Foundation?"

Lin Dingqiang replied with a smile: "Jinwei rarely talks about her family, and I haven't asked much. However, she is really good. ”

"That's not true!" Jiang Kangping said complacently: "It turns out that when she watched me rehearse, she would sneak to the piano to watch others play, and after watching it a few more times, she could also play simple chords." As for this cleverness, most people don't have it. ”

Lin Dingqiang found out where Huo Jinwei's piano enlightenment began, and said with a smile: "Yes, Jinwei plays the piano very well." ”

Jiang Kangping nodded, "By the way, how long are you and Weiwei going to have a happy event? This time, I must be there." ”

Lin Dingqiang hurriedly diverted the topic, lest Jiang Kangping keep asking, "Uncle, do you live alone?"

Jiang Kangping said bluntly, "I like to be alone, my wife doesn't, but I still have a few partners." I feel that marriage is a shackle, and as long as I give a promise, it is like a tight spell tied to my head. On the contrary, a free and easy lifestyle will give me more inspiration and allow me to enjoy life to the fullest. ”

Lin Dingqiang, who was still dealing with onions, was taken aback by Jiang Kangping's remarks, but he didn't expect that this old brother was similar to other artists he knew, and he also had a restless heart in his heart.

"So, when Weiwei said that she was going to get married, I admired her a lot. Jiang Kangping took out the butter, lit the fire, and said with a smile: "At a good age, I gave up the flamboyance of life, put on a white wedding dress, and entrusted my life to another man." However, she is better now, she used to find the wrong person, and now she is right. Xiaolin, you must be good to Weiwei!"

Lin Dingqiang's eyes were sour from the smell of onions, Jiang Kangping looked back at Lin Dingqiang's eyes, "Why are you still moved?"

"Uncle, this onion has spicy eyes. Lin Dingqiang said aggrievedly.
