Less than five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Ping took a taxi and came to Wang Hongwen's house in advance, Wang Hongwen came down from upstairs, and when he saw that Lin Ping had brought so many things, he said: "No, Lin Ping, look at you, come and come, why do you still bring so many things?"

Lin Ping said with a smile: "It's not a coincidence, the guys from Kushan School came to see me in the afternoon, and then showed me this full of local products, but I have been eating in the school cafeteria, and I can't use any chickens, eggs, meat, and fish, so I turned my head and thought about it, and just sent it to you." It's not a precious thing, it's just some souvenir, which is not a gift. ”

Wang Hongwen said with a smile: "What are you talking about, your sister-in-law is just going to cook, since you brought it, it's just right, it's just right, it's a snack for you." ”

Lin Ping and Wang Hongwen went upstairs to enter, and Wang Hongwen's seven-year-old daughter ran over, and then shouted sweetly to Lin Ping: "Hello, uncle." ”

Lin Ping smiled and said, "Alas, okay, this kid looks so cute." ”

Then Wang Hongwen's wife also came out and said with a smile: "Comrade Xiaolin is here, I haven't seen him for more than half a year, right?"

Lin Ping hurriedly greeted Wang Hongwen's wife respectfully: "Hello sister-in-law, yes, I haven't seen you for half a year, and I came to your house to eat last time on Labor Day." ”

Then Wang Hongwen's wife looked at Lin Ping and Wang Hongwen carrying a bunch of things in their hands, and said politely: "You see you are coming, why do you still bring so many things?"

This sentence has become a standard etiquette sentence in China, guests go to other people's houses with gifts, basically most of the owners of the family will say this in the first sentence, and when the guests leave, the host will politely say: "You bring back these things you brought, we don't need them." ”

And then it was: "Then don't bring so many things next time, we'll be happy if you can come, don't bring things next time." ”

Wang Hongwen said with a smile: "Yes, Xiaolin is too polite, only a small part of what we moved up, and a lot of them I put in the garage." ”

At this time, Wang Hongwen's daughter tried to take something from her father's hand and asked, "Is there any gift from me?"

Lin Ping smiled awkwardly, he really forgot about Wang Hongwen's daughter, and he should remember to buy a gift for this little girl.

Wang Hongwen's wife gently patted her daughter's head: "Look at your child, a little money fan, how can you ask that?"

Wang Hongwen saw Lin Ping's embarrassed look, and comforted him with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, Tong Yan is unscrupulous, there are more seven aunts and eight aunts in the family, and when they come to visit the door, they will sell clothes and toys to this child, and spoil this child." ”

Lin Ping smiled and touched Wang Hongwen's daughter's head and said, "It's not good for uncle this time, forget it, will I bring it to you next time?"

Wang Hongwen's daughter was not particularly arrogant, nodded and said obediently: "Okay, then uncle remember to bring me a gift next time." ”

Wang Hongwen on the side said helplessly: "Look at this child, Hongqin, Xiaoya follows you, how do you educate this, how can you ask the guests for gifts?"

Wang Hongwen and his wife Li Hongqin met when they were in college, the two got married after graduating from graduate school, and not long after Wang Hongwen took the initiative to come to Xibei County below to work at the grassroots level, and his wife stayed in the provincial administrative department to work, so the two have been in a state of separation, after having a daughter Wang Ruiya, Ruiya has also been living with his wife, and the family basically only has time to reunite during holidays.

Wang Hongwen's family is very enthusiastic, the husband and wife have no official structure, they still maintain the temperament and ideal pursuit of high-education, high-quality and excellent intellectuals, and their speech and demeanor have not been assimilated by the bureaucratic atmosphere.

Wang Hongwen's wife was stir-frying in the kitchen, Wang Hongwen and Lin Ping were drinking tea and chatting in the living room, when Wang Hongwen's wife opened the kitchen door and shouted: "Hongwen, you can make these two fish." ”

"Oh, that's good. ”

Wang Hongwen agreed with a smile, and then said to Lin Ping: "Let me tell you, making fish is my specialty, I was going to buy fish, but today you brought the fish, I will personally show you a hand, let you taste my craft." ”

Lin Ping was a little flattered, and hurriedly said, "This ...... Director Wang, how embarrassing is this, I ......"

Lin Ping didn't know what to say.

Wang Hongwen went to the kitchen to cook with his wife Li Hongqin, the two husband and wife were not tired of working together, and they were happy in the kitchen, but they hung Lin Ping in the living room, and Lin Pinggan sat there a little embarrassed, so he could only look east and west, and then look up at the ceiling.

At this time, Wang Hongwen's youngest daughter ran out with two sets of puzzle toys, originally she wanted to find her father to play puzzles with him, but after looking at her parents in the kitchen, and then at Lin Ping, who was sitting on the sofa with nothing to do, she ran to Lin Ping's side: "Uncle, can you play puzzles with me?"

Lin Ping naturally couldn't refuse a little girl's request, not to mention that this was Wang Hongwen's pearl, so he agreed with a smile: "Okay." ”

Wang Hongwen's daughter put the two puzzles on the table, and then gave Lin Ping a pair and said: "The two of us have one pair each, compete in the puzzles, see who can put together quickly and well!"

Lin Ping looked at the slightly pediatric puzzle, nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, but uncle won't let you." ”

Wang Hongwen's daughter pursed her lips: "Hmph, who needs you to let go?"

Lin Ping also said it verbally and deliberately, but he had to let it go, holding the pieces of the puzzle in his hand and slowly starting, obviously not playing seriously, and asked while puzzles: "What's your name?"

Wang Hongwen's daughter carefully spelled the picture in her hand, and replied without raising her head: "Wang Ruiya." ”

Lin Ping said: "This name is so good, who gave it to you?"

Wang Hongwen's daughter stopped what she was doing after hearing this, and then looked up at Lin Ping and said with a little complaint: "This name is not good at all!"

Lin Ping was stunned, then asked with a smile, "Why?"

Wang Hongwen's daughter slammed the table with her small fist: "It's too difficult to write, it's so troublesome! There is a classmate in our class named Ding Yi, who only needs to write three paintings, and I need to write many, many paintings!"

Lin Ping couldn't help but laugh and comforted: "But your name is so good, especially cultural and poetic name, Ding Yi's name can't be compared." ”

The daughter pursed her lips, lowered her head and continued to spell her own diagram, and then said in a broken voice: "It's not good, it's so hard to write." ”

Lin Ping asked again, "Ruiya, uncle asks you a question. ”

The daughter stared at the puzzle and nodded, "You ask." ”

Lin Ping smiled and asked, "Do you prefer your father?" or do you prefer your mother?"

Wang Hongwen's daughter raised her head and looked at her parents who were cooking in the kitchen, then turned her head to look at Lin Ping, thought for a while and said, "I like them all." ”

Then he lowered his head, then looked up at his parents in the kitchen and said, "However, I seem to like my father a little more." ”

Lin Ping smiled and teased her and said, "Then why don't you go to school with your father?"

The last time Lin Ping came to Wang Hongwen's house for dinner, he knew that Wang Hongwen generally lived alone, and he could only reunite with his wife and daughter on holidays, and his daughter had always followed his wife. So Lin Ping asked Wang Ruiya like this to see how she answered and teased her.

Wang Ruiya said without raising her head: "The kindergarten and primary school here are not good, my mother works in the provincial capital, and the kindergarten and primary school there are much better than here." ”

Wang Ruiya's words made Lin Ping's words stop, Lin Ping thought that Wang Ruiya would answer "I don't know" or "I want to too", but he didn't expect Wang Ruiya to answer the essence of the question profoundly.

Indeed, how can the quality of education in Xibei County be compared with the quality of education in Jia'an City, the capital of Hanhua Province, from kindergarten to preschool, and then from preschool to primary school, to junior high school, and then to high school, there is basically no comparison, this is a real gap.

Lin Ping thought for a while and continued to ask with a smile: "Then how does Ruiya think the kindergartens and primary schools in the provincial capital are better than those here?"

Wang Ruiya thought for a while and then said: "Anyway, it's good, I don't know, my parents said it was good, and they all said it was good." ”

Wang Ruiya can't answer Lin Ping's question, because she has been going to school in the provincial capital, from kindergarten to the current first grade of primary school, the kindergarten is the best institutional kindergarten in Jia'an City, and the primary school is also the best primary school affiliated to Hanhua Normal University in Hanhua Province.

At this time, Wang Ruiya raised her head and looked at her parents in the kitchen, then turned her head to look at Lin Ping and sighed and said, "Uncle, it's actually so difficult for me." ”

Lin Ping was amused by Wang Ruiya's sentence "I'm so difficult", so he asked, "Why?"

Wang Ruiya stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers and said: "I usually have to go to school, go home from school to do my homework, and practice calligraphy after doing my homework, and then I have to learn piano on Saturday morning, dance in the afternoon, and my mother has to watch me do 20 math problems in the evening, and I have to learn English on Sunday morning, and I only have my own time to play in the afternoon. ”

Saying that, Wang Ruiya pouted unhappily: "Alas, I can only see my father on holidays like this." ”

Lin Ping smiled and said, "You still have to learn English." ”

Wang Ruiya nodded and said disappreciatively: "Yes, I have been learning since kindergarten." ”

Wang Ruiya has been receiving bilingual teaching since kindergarten, and now she is in the first grade of primary school and has begun to learn English bilingual classes, even so, Wang Ruiya's mother has to enroll her in an English tutoring class on Sunday morning.

Lin Ping smiled and said, "Then can you say something to your uncle in English?"

"Okay. Wang Ruiya was not shy, and generously said a word to Lin Ping in English.

Lin Ping was a little surprised and a little ashamed after hearing this, Wang Ruiya's English pronunciation was more authentic and accurate than his own.

(Tomorrow Saturday is a holiday, make up for it, and a little more.) ）
