Chapter 43: You two are the protagonists

In Lin Dingqiang's view, the only really delicious late-night snacks in the capital may be McDonald's and KFC.

As for those check-in holy places that are popular on the whole network and queue up to call numbers, it's just those night owls who go out day and night, and they really have nowhere to go in the middle of the night, so find a restaurant with longer business hours to fill their stomachs.

In order to avoid falling into the circle of friends late at night, he added a mysterious color to these restaurants, and over time they became Internet celebrity stores that people flocked to and sought after.

Lin Dingqiang and Wang Liushun ate a McFragrant chicken leg burger at McDonald's, drank two cups of Xiaoke and then returned to the convention and exhibition center.

Seeing that the time was coming, Wang Liushun started the car, Lin Dingqiang sat in the co-pilot, and asked with a smile: "Have you eaten enough?"

After Wang Liushun got along for a short time, he also became a lot more relaxed, no longer restrained at the beginning, patted his stomach and said: "Brother Qiang, don't be polite to me!

Lin Dingqiang was still taking a truck for the first time, and he didn't know which roads he couldn't walk, so for the sake of safety, he still turned on the navigation, and then said: "Okay, then let's go to Uncle Zhou's courtyard now!"

As soon as the words fell, the staff who stayed on duty for the night came to the window of the driver's seat and said: "You have to return the car before 6 o'clock, otherwise you won't be able to go on the road." ”

"Got it, you just wait here!" Lin Dingqiang replied coldly.

The vehicle drove out of the convention and exhibition center smoothly, and Lin Dingqiang estimated the time, it should take about 40 minutes to reach the courtyard.

He didn't sleep much last night, looking at the receding street trees and street lamps outside the window, his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and after about a few tens of seconds, the sleepy insects finally occupied the high ground, and Lin Ding fell asleep.

......

When the truck came to the mouth of the alley, Wang Liushun saw that Lin Dingqiang had not woken up yet, and called softly: "Brother Qiang? ”

Lin Dingqiang opened his eyes in a daze, and after confirming the position, he rubbed his temples and laughed at himself: "Hey, why do you see why I'm asleep! What time is it?"

"It's almost 1 o'clock. Wang Liushun opened the car door and replied casually: "You fell asleep as soon as you got in the car, you are tired!"

"It's a little tiring. ”

The two came to the rear of the car, opened the carriage, and first took the stand for the exhibition off the car.

Lin Dingqiang carried the wooden shelf left and right, leading the way, "It's just ahead, not a few steps." ”

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, he heard Uncle Zhou's voice, "Yo, do you still know pots?"

"I usually like to be foolish, but you look at it like a white porcelain Shih Tzu pot here! It's been a few years!" replied in a deep male voice.

Lin Dingqiang walked in curiously, saw the suitcase that had been put aside and had not yet torn off the checkbook, and guessed that it was Xin Qing's parents who came.

"Uncle Zhou. Lin Dingqiang said enthusiastically: "Haven't slept yet?!"

"I can't sleep on a hot day! I met an old brother and chatted a few words!"

Lin Dingqiang looked at a man and a woman in front of him, the man should be in his 50s, and the woman was in her early 40s.

The face of the national character and the whiteboard inch. Even on such a hot day, the collar button on the tunic has not been unfastened, and there is a strong leadership style between his gestures.

"You are Mr. Xin's father, right?" Lin Dingqiang asked tentatively.

"I'm Xin Wenhua. The man nodded, "This is my lover, Shulan." You're Kobayashi, aren't you?"

Lin Dingqiang put down the wooden frame and said without humility or arrogance: "Yes! Lin Dingqiang!"

"Xiaolin, thank you so much for this. Shu Lan said gratefully: "If you hadn't found such a piece of land, Lao Xin's paintings really wouldn't know where to put them!"

Lin Dingqiang replied modestly: "I still want to thank Uncle Zhou." If he hadn't nodded in agreement, I wouldn't have done it. ”

"What about the paintings?" Xin Wenhua asked urgently.

"In the car at the entrance of the alley!" Lin Dingqiang replied: "Don't worry, it's all well wrapped!"

Xin Wenhua was relieved when he heard this, he took off his tunic coat, handed it to Shu Lan on the side, rolled up his sleeves, "Let's go, let's go get it together!"

Lin Dingqiang, Wang Liushun and Xin Wenhua moved boxes of oil paintings and brackets into the courtyard, and after Uncle Zhou looked at an oil painting that Shu Lan took out of the foam box, he exclaimed: "Yo! Old brother, are you really a painter?"

Xin Wenhua wiped the sweat from his forehead and said humbly: "I don't dare to take the word home, just hobby." ”

"Don't be modest! Those who can eat with a pen, whether they are writing or drawing, are all horns!" Uncle Zhou said with a thumbs up.

Xin Wenhua laughed, "I still have something I want to discuss with you here." ”

You say. ”

"Can you lend me this chair?" Xin Wenhua asked sincerely.

Uncle Zhou frowned, "What's wrong?"

"I've been here all night, looking at these paintings. ”

Everyone didn't expect Xin Wenhua to make this request, which was just a matter of one sentence, but Uncle Zhou still had some concerns.

"Look, this gate is in the southeast corner, and it's windy in the middle of the night. Uncle Zhou politely refused: "If you catch a cold in the courtyard, then I will be guilty." ”

Shu Lan persuaded on the side: "Lao Xin, don't forget it." These paintings are also safe to keep here, so you don't need to look at them. ”

Xin Wenhua naturally heard Uncle Zhou's refusal, but he still couldn't rest assured of these painstaking efforts in his heart, "Then you go and book me a hotel, it's nearby." When I get closer, my heart is at ease. ”

Shu Lan was in trouble, it was 2 o'clock in the morning now, and she was back in the capital for the first time in more than 20 years, where to find a suitable hotel for Xin Wenhua.

Lin Dingqiang stood aside and listened to the conversation of several people, remembering that the system had given him the right to use a suite a few days ago, and said: "There is a hotel on the next street, which is only ten minutes away from here, why don't I call and ask?"

Xin Wenhua nodded repeatedly, "Trouble, Xiaolin." ”

Lin Dingqiang walked out of the courtyard and called the phone number of the Beijing Peninsula Hotel.

About three minutes later, Lin Dingqiang confirmed that he could move in, and then returned to the courtyard.

"Already said hello. Lin Dingqiang said slowly: "You can move in." ”

Xin Wenhua frowned slightly, "Thank you!

"It's okay!" Lin Dingqiang saw that Xin Wenhua was still a little relieved, and replied: "Then we will go over now?" If you are still not at ease, I will help you guard it here. ”

Xin Wenhua's eyes showed a look of appreciation, and he couldn't stop nodding, "Xiaolin, you are very safe." You give me the name of the hotel, and Shulan and I can go by ourselves. The rest is for you. ”

"Brother Qiang, I'll send them over!" Wang Liushun said on the side: "By the way, I'll go and return the car." ”

Lin Dingqiang smiled at Wang Liushun, "Then I'm sorry for you, Sixth Son, it's on the Wangfu Peninsula." ”

Then Lin Dingqiang said to Xin Wenhua and the others: "By the way, the room is set in my name." After arriving, you two can just check in with your ID card!"

Xin Wenhua nodded again and expressed his appreciation to Lin Dingqiang.

Shu Lan saw that Lin Dingqiang had helped him solve a big problem, and said gratefully: "Xiaolin, thank you." ”

"You're welcome," Lin Dingqiang handed over the two suitcases at the door to Wang Liushun's hands, and said with a smile: "It's been a day of traveling, rest early! Tomorrow you two are the protagonists!"
