Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Disaster of Innocence
At seven o'clock in the morning the next day, Xin Andong and the others had breakfast and followed behind Lan Mingqu to Wanran No. 1 Middle School.
The official competition was even more nervous than expected, and they walked into the examination room with apprehension under Lan Minglu's encouraging gaze. This competition was out of order, so the five people were not in the same examination room, and they had to go their separate ways as soon as they walked through the door of No. 1 Middle School.
Xin Andong was in the second examination room, his mood was relatively calm, and when he arrived, there were not more than half of the participants in the classroom, but after a while, the rest of the participating students also entered the examination room one after another.
Two invigilators walked in at the ringing of the bell, and after talking about the discipline of the examination room, they began to hand out the test papers when the bell rang for the second time.
Starting from the front row, the test paper was passed to Xin Andong, and he used to read the test paper from the first question to the last question before the exam, and only after he had the bottom of his mind did he start to officially answer the questions.
Generally speaking, the difficulty coefficient of the Olympiad questions this time has increased compared with last year, but fortunately, the test questions that Mr. Lan did everything possible to find were not made in vain, he gently hooked the corners of his lips, straightened the test papers, and took the pen to answer the questions.
The desk of the first middle school is really bad, there are many uneven holes on it, and there are no books underneath, Xin Andong had to fold the test paper all the way to write. The candidates in the examination room were thinking quietly, and the only sound of brushing and writing and inadvertently moving the tables and chairs was very light and very quiet, and his heart could not be pulled out in the examination papers.
'When!when!when'
After the exam, the candidates sat calmly or frustratedly waiting for the teacher to collect the papers, everything went very smoothly, out of the classroom, Xin Andong breathed a sigh of relief, moved his stiff neck, he picked up the schoolbag placed in the corner of the corridor and walked towards the school gate, they agreed to meet there, and said that Lan Mingqu would wait at the door.
There is also Brother Zong, Xin Andong was already a little impatient, he quickened his pace, and saw Brother Zong standing at the school gate talking to Lan Mingqu from a distance, both of them are the kind of people with outstanding appearance and outstanding temperament, in the gray crowd, it seems that they are emitting a thousand watts of bright light, unconsciously attracting the attention of the people around them.
"Brother Zong!" Xin Andong walked over and looked at him with a smile.
Jiang Xuanzong wore a long khaki trench coat, a pure white shirt underneath, and an angular handsome face, tall, handsome and stylish, even Lan Minglu, who was also dressed fashionably next to him, was not as elegant as him.
It should be the clothes he deliberately changed after the meeting, which is much more handsome than wearing an old-fashioned tunic suit.
He was the last to come out, Jiang Xuanzong had a smile in his eyes, rubbed his hair, and said softly, "Let's go, take you to dinner." ”
Lan Minglu on the side, "Hey, I'm the leading teacher, why don't you ask me for instructions?"
Xin Andong stood beside Brother Zong, his schoolbag had been picked up by Brother Zong, and he was relaxed.
Jiang Xuanzong stood Xin Andong and Tong Zhenghao on the left and right, he promised the two children to take them to dinner, naturally he couldn't break his promise, but this time after all, Lan Mingqu led the team, so he should ask him, so he said, "Leave the safety of the two of them to me, if you don't worry, we can be together." ”
"You mean you're going to have a treat? I've got three smaller ones with me. Lan Mingqu raised an eyebrow.
After this game, it is actually nothing for Xin Andong and Tong Zhenghao to leave with Xuanzong, but since the other party has spoken, the free lunch will not be eaten in vain.
Jiang Xuanzong glanced at him, his face was expressionless, and he nodded angrily, "Let's go." ”
"That's what you said," Lan Mingqu snorted, made a gesture of his hand, and said to the confused Sanwa behind him, "This uncle invites everyone to eat Western food, go, the teacher will take you to have a good meal, it can be regarded as a reward for your hard work!"
Zhou Jiaming, Wang Kuan, and Zhou Yue looked at each other, they still remembered the roast chicken that Teacher Lan invited to eat last night, that kind of rare delicacy, when they thought of it, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva hard, their eyes bloomed with amazing light, but they were a little embarrassed.
Lan Mingqu led the way in front, Jiang Xuanzong frowned, and whispered to Xin Andong beside him, "If you don't like to eat Western food, we can change to another one." He originally wanted to take his two children to an old shop to drink duck soup, which has a long heritage and will use more than a dozen kinds of precious Chinese medicinal materials to make duck soup, Jiang Xuanzong has eaten it, and it tastes good, so he intends to take Dongzi and Zhenghao to go this time.
Who knew that Nullah was going to eat Western food on his own initiative, he wanted to ask Dongzi's opinion, and if he didn't want to, he would change it in time.
Xin Andong doesn't care, he hasn't eaten Western food for a long time, but he must have never eaten Western food as a country boy, so he had to pretend, "I haven't eaten Western food, but since Mr. Lan recommends it, it should be good." ”
Jiang Xuanzong put his heart at ease and comforted him, "It's okay, Zhenghao knows the etiquette of Western food best, let him teach you when the time comes." ”
Tong Zhenghao pursed his lips, and wanted to say that he didn't want to eat with other people, but his cousin would definitely reprimand him for being rude, except for being able to teach Dongzi to eat Western food next, he was not interested at all.
The group took a taxi to the western restaurant recommended by Lan Mingqu and sat down under the guidance of the waiter.
In addition to Jiang Xuanzong, Xin Andong, the pseudo-soil bun, the other three little pitiful and restrained sitting on the leather sofa like pins and needles, they have never eaten Western food, this kind of Western restaurant with someone playing the violin, wearing a vest and a bow tie waiter walks back and forth, just like making people step on the clouds from the mud, there is a feeling of dizziness.
"What do you want to eat?"
Xin Andong was admiring the nostalgic golden decoration around the restaurant, when a question suddenly came from his ears, he turned his head, it was Brother Zong, who was bowing his head and carefully spreading the cloth on his lap.
In front of the table was the menu he spread out in front of him, Xin Andong's eyes fell on the menu, and he thought for a while: "A black pepper steak, a garlic bread, cream mushroom soup," as he spoke, he raised his head, looked at him with blank eyes, licked his lips, and asked, "Can I ask for another ice cream?"
To be honest, the stomach that only ate one bowl of porridge in the morning is really hungry now, and he may be able to nibble on an elephant if he is given it!
His pitiful little eyes really made Jiang Xuanzong helpless and funny, and touched his head, "Yes." ”
Long live Brother Zong!
In fact, he thought about it too much, compared to Tong Zhenghao, who had to eat two steaks and pork chops, he didn't have enough to stuff his teeth, Jiang Xuanzong also asked for a lamb chop and borscht, and the others were either steaks or lamb chops, and Jiang Xuanzong also thoughtfully asked for ice cream for several other children.
When the steak was finally served, the hunger was about to overwhelm him, but 'Xin Andong' probably wouldn't eat Western food, so he could only smell the meat with his eyes and swallow saliva in his heart.
"Brother Zong?"
said that Tong Zhenghao taught him, this guy started to take care of himself as soon as the steak was served, where can he take care of him, Xin Andong had to ask Jiang Xuanzong for help.
Brother Zong chuckled, taught him to hold a fork in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, and then told him other etiquette that he needed to pay attention to when eating Western food while eating.
Jiang Xuanzong found that the young man had a strong learning ability, and under his explanation, he had a good appearance when he ate Western food for the first time, and his every move was elegant and noble, and he admired it.
Zhou Jiaming and the three of them also benefited a lot, their sitting posture and posture with knives and forks were much correct, and their gaze became a little calmer in the face of the surrounding eyes.
Just when they were eating happily, suddenly a woman's sharp and piercing voice came from a table behind them, and with the plate being slammed to this side, Jiang Xuanzong quickly turned Xin Andong's head to the right with his hand, narrowly avoiding the sharp white porcelain plate.
"Smack! slut! let you seduce my husband!"
"Who are you scolding! You yellow-faced woman, a hen who occupies a pit and doesn't poop or lays eggs!"
The fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, and Xin Andong dodged the white porcelain plate, but the back of Jiang Xuanzong's hand was cut open, and a blood mark from the elbow to the tiger's mouth made Xin Andong's brows suddenly furrow.
The two women's shouts and curses were incessant, mostly insulting genital/organ words, and the voice of an annoyed and angry man arguing, but the man's addition only added a handful of firewood, making the fire burn more vigorously, and the ears were noisy and annoying.
"Brother Zong," Xin Andong stood up worriedly, walked to Jiang Xuanzong's side, and saw that the blood on the back of his right hand was still bleeding, so he didn't want to take out a handkerchief and handed it to him without worrying, "You wrap it in it first." "It's a blue checkered handkerchief that Xin Andong often carries with him.
"It's okay," Jiang Xuanzong didn't care too much, but he insisted, so he had to take the handkerchief helplessly, but he was a big man who knew how to bandage it, and he didn't tie it well for a long time.
Lan Mingqu, who had an ugly face on the side, glanced coldly at the table behind him, and saw that he was clumsy, and snorted, "Stupid you, I'll come!"
Xin Andong immediately said, "I'll give Brother Zong, Teacher Lan, you call the waiter." "The back row is still noisy, and there are no waiters coming yet, don't they know that innocent people have been hurt?
Lan Mingqu's eyes flashed, and when he reacted, Xin Andong had already taken the handkerchief, so he had to order Tong Zhenghao and the other three frightened children to stand in place, and after speaking, he immediately suppressed his anger and went to the restaurant director.
Xin Andong bent down and lowered his head to carefully bandage Jiang Xuanzong's palm, raised his head, and said in a sullen tone, "I'll go to the hospital later." "The opening on the back of the hand is relatively long and deep, and I don't know if there is any fine porcelain slag in it, but be careful.
"Don't make a fuss, I'm fine. Jiang Xuanzong couldn't bear to see him look very nervous with a white face, and opened his mouth to comfort him.
Xin Andong frowned: "How can you be okay with so much blood? You have to go to the hospital." He kept a straight face and spoke in a tough tone.
Jiang Xuanzong was helpless, stood up and pinched his soft ears, "I know you're worried about me, but it's really fine," as soon as his words fell, Xin Andong immediately glared at him, Jiang Xuanzong felt a headache for his stubbornness, so he had to surrender and compromise, "Forget it, I'll go to the hospital later." ”
This is about the same, Xin Andong looked at the destroyed meal, and there was a pity expression on his face, "I haven't finished my bread yet, and the mushroom soup has also been spilled." ”
"This restaurant environment is not good, next time change home. Jiang Xuanzong only thought that if he hadn't pushed Dongzi away just now, Dongzi's thin white cheek would have been cut with a bloody wound, and he suddenly had no good impression of this restaurant, so he said.
Lan Mingqu found the person in charge of this restaurant, a chubby middle-aged man in a suit, who had gone to the toilet before, and had an accident just after he came back.
He sweated, bent down to Xin Andong and the others and sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry sir, I've caused you to eat, you only need to pay half of the price for all the meals this time, just treat it as a restaurant to apologize to you, I will deal with this trouble immediately, please understand." ”
The waiter has already pulled the two women who are in a ball, one of them is a middle-aged woman at first glance, but she is dressed in makeup, and the maintenance should be in place, so she looks younger than the average woman, and at this time she is glaring at the girl opposite with sharp eyes.
It's just that she is old, and she can only face another beautiful girl in her early twenties who can pinch out the water, and she is like a generation apart.
Not to mention the man's disgust at the woman and the coveted gaze at the girl.
You don't have to think about it to know that it's a big drama of a man cheating.
However, the moral bottom line in this era is still very high, and if you grasp it tightly in the past few years, although it will not be so strict, this kind of thing is definitely spurned by everyone.
The man had a beer belly, and his appearance was not good, but he was wearing a black suit and tie, and he looked like an upper-class person, and at this time, he was already angry and gave the middle-aged woman several vicious eye knives.
He smiled and said to the person in charge, "It's all a misunderstanding, I'm sorry, I'm a doctor, this lady is one of my patients, my wife is used to being suspicious, but I love my family very well, she just doesn't understand me." ”
He looked like he was helplessly wronged, and told the person in charge and the guests around him.
After speaking, he gave a look to the middle-aged woman, and the middle-aged woman snorted coldly, but did not refute.
The affairs of the husband and wife, although the surrounding guests have a gossip heart, they will not get involved, a mouth and mouth turn up and down, whatever you say, the wife will not jump or make trouble, you say that you misunderstand, you misunderstand, who will jump out of the person who has no relatives and no reason to hug the little three.
The young girl's eyes widened, she looked incredulous, and just about to open her mouth, the man's face tensed, and he said sharply, "Miss Zhang! Although this misunderstanding has been resolved, I think we need to pay more attention to our identities when we meet in the future, and I don't want my wife and family to have a misunderstanding!"
After speaking, the man looked at the girl vaguely, his eyes were cold.
The girl's chest continued to rise and fall, and the pointing glances of the people around her made her face full of shame, and finally she covered her face and ran away.
The man was a man of status, and he pretended to be quite similar, whether or not everyone in the room really believed his words, but the farce was finally over, and everyone else returned to their seats to continue their lunch.
"This gentleman, I think we need to talk about it, I have nothing to say about the farce you just had, but my friend's hand was scratched by the plate thrown by your wife, a deep cut, whether it will leave a scar in the future is one thing, he is engaged in writing work, so we are very cautious, we don't need you to lose money, just go to the hospital with us." ”
Lan Mingqu grabbed Xie Dingnan, who was leaving, and his tone was polite but tough.
Xie Dingnan was stopped, and after listening to Lan Mingqu's words, he glared at the middle-aged woman fiercely, and then his eyes swept over Lan Mingqu's leather jacket and black leather shoes, his eyes flashed, and then he took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, took out one and handed it to Lan Mingqu.
"I'm sorry brother, my friend hurt your friend because of his bad temper, I apologize to her, go to the hospital, no problem, I'm the doctor, I'll take you there, I'm really embarrassed." ”
Lan Mingqu didn't take his cigarettes, he didn't forget the eyes of this person who looked at his clothes just now, he was a snob, he was very tired in his heart, so he nodded without being salty, "Mr. is sensible." ”
Xie Dingnan took the group of them to the hospital, and along the way, they inquired about the careers of Brother Zong and Teacher Lan, nodding and having with a warm attitude, but the contempt in their eyes couldn't stop them.
