"Ziqiao, you go to the bedroom and bring the diaper of the little cloth. Meijia, who was watching TV, felt the strangeness of Xiaobu in her arms, and hurriedly shouted at Lu Ziqiao, who was washing dishes.

"Come on, little cloth, come over and let Dad hug you. ”

Meijia felt a sore arm after Lu Ziqiao took the little cloth from her, and said to Lu Ziqiao while moving: "The little cloth is getting heavier and heavier, why don't you come to coax the child in the future, and I will wash the dishes?"

Lu Ziqiao shrugged his shoulders and replied: "Come on, Mrs. Chen, I remember that once in the apartment, you and I washed the dishes, you and I were three people, and you broke four bowls, and I still wonder how you broke the bowl in the cabinet." ”

Chen Meijia saw that Lu Ziqiao began to mention her troubles again, and immediately changed the topic: "Ziqiao, the earth has not been peaceful recently, you see the news that the snowslide in Norway, the earthquake in Spain, and the tsunami in Mexico, do you think this will have an impact on us?"

Ziqiao sneered when he heard this, and the little cloth in his arms also grinned at his father, and then Ziqiao replied: "Meijia, you don't listen to the usual reading, how many continents do these countries have to cross from us, and this can't affect us until the end of the world? ”

Meijia pursed her lips and decided to ignore Lu Ziqiao for the time being.

Suddenly, the cell phone on the table rang.

"Hello, is it Mr. Lu Ziqiao?"

"Well, I am, please. ”

"We are the staff of Shanghai Pudong Airport, there is a Mr. Alexandre Dumas who will arrive at Pudong Airport at 7 o'clock tonight, and we would like to inform you to pick you up. ”

"Okay, thanks. ”

"Whose phone is it?" asked Chen Meijia as she peeled oranges.

After Lu Ziqiao hung up the phone, he excitedly said to Meijia: "Godfather is back, now Xiaoxiaobu's milk powder money for the next year has been settled!

"Godfather, is it your super-rich godfather, the godfather who married a super-rich wife abroad?!" After listening to Lu Ziqiao's words, Chen Meijia was also excited, and she was so excited that she didn't even peel the oranges.

"That's him! I'm going to change my clothes and go to the airport, and you can clean up the innermost bedroom later, and give my godfather a place to stay!"

Shanghai Pudong International Airport Arrival Hall

Lu Ziqiao arrived at the airport early and was waiting at the pick-up desk, when he heard the announcement from the airport and confirmed that the flight number was Alexandre Dumas's flight, Ziqiao stared intently at the exit, for fear of missing his godfather who he hadn't seen for nearly ten years.

After waiting for a long time, I still didn't see the familiar old man, "It should be that I am too old to move as neatly as before." Lu Ziqiao thought to himself, and then Ziqiao felt that his left shoulder was patted, and he couldn't help but look back: "Landlord, why are you here, I haven't seen you for a long time, where have you traveled here?"

Li Jin, the old landlord of the love apartment, also smiled faintly when he saw the old acquaintance, and replied: "After the apartment was demolished, I started to travel, I just came back from Spain, how about it recently, let's go, I know there is a good café near the airport, let's go and sit together." ”

Thinking of having a good thing to eat and drink for nothing, Lu Ziqiao was about to agree, and thought that his business was to pick up his godfather and earn milk powder money for Xiaoxiaobu, so he politely refused: "No, landlord, I came today to pick up an elder I haven't seen for a long time, he should also come back from Spain on a flight with you, let's talk another day." ”

Li Jin was not surprised by Ziqiao's answer at all, and said, "I asked the airport to notify you to pick up Alexandre Dumas." ”

"What?!is you?!"

"Yes, it's me, let's go, sit down and talk slowly. With that, Li Jin dragged the suitcase in his hand and walked out, and Lu Ziqiao, who came back to his senses, was still puzzled in his heart, so he hurriedly followed.

Li Jin pushed the coffee in front of Lu Ziqiao, and then folded his hands, as if waiting for Lu Ziqiao's question.

Lu Ziqiao didn't talk nonsense, took a sip of coffee, and asked, "Landlord, do you know my godfather?"

"Ziqiao, your godfather is already gone. ”

Hearing this, Ziqiao seemed to have guessed some clues, but he still had a trace of luck in his heart: "Where did he go again, he is a person who likes to run around, and it doesn't affect him when he is old, I don't think I'm surprised." ”

Li Jin sighed and said to Lu Ziqiao: "Alexandre Dumas said that he has wandered all his life, failed many people, and made many mistakes, but he is sincerely proud to have a son like you. ”

Li Jin's memories

The demolition of the love apartment, compensation, and the aftermath of a large basket of things made Li Jin busy for nearly two months, in fact, the person with the deepest feelings for the love apartment is probably him, more than ten years of time, the love apartment is like his child, he witnesses and accompanies the child's growth from the perspective of a father, when the child can already be on his own, when he leaves, Li Jin was also reluctant, crying in the middle of the night.

"Let's go abroad and relax. Li Jin said to himself.

Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, all the way to see the magnificence of Europe.

It was close to the night when I arrived in Spain, and after packing up at the hotel, Li Jin stretched his waist and looked out of the window, the biggest difference between Europe and China is that the tranquility of Europe has a different kind of beauty, which makes people can't help but want to dig out.

Li Jin walked around the street, saw a pair of lovers kissing, saw several people drunk like mud, helped each other out of the bar, and saw that the bar was almost the same as the bar downstairs of the previous apartment, so he couldn't help but be interested, and went in for a few drinks.

Just a few steps out of the bar, a figure passed, the bag on Li Jin's shoulder was gone, with the silence of Europe, you also need to beware of European thieves.

"Hey, just get your passport down, you just take the money away!" Li Jin chased as he ran.

At this moment, another voice sounded: "It's you two again! Leave your bag! Otherwise, go in and talk to me for half a month!"

The owner of this voice seemed to be able to deter these thieves, and the two thieves hesitated for a long time, dropped their bags and disappeared into the night.

Li Jin trotted over to pick up the bag, looking at the figure walking out of the side of the path, the Asian face, although he looked almost seventy years old, but his whole body still revealed a sense of energy.

"Thank you. ”

The old man chuckled twice and replied, "You're welcome, young man, try to wander around outside as little as possible in the middle of the night in Europe, there are many thieves." ”

Li Jin nodded, thought for a while, and asked puzzledly, "Why were those two thieves so afraid of you just now?"

"Haha, it's not me who they're afraid of, it's a local villain policeman, Redek, I just learned a little ventriloquism when I was young, and I can fish in troubled waters. ”

Li Jin realized, and felt more and more interesting about the old man in front of him, and then stretched out his right hand: "Li Jin, from Shanghai, do you want to go and have two drinks together?"

The old man seemed to like the middle-aged man in front of him, and stepped forward to shake hands: "Everyone else calls me Alexandre Dumas, and I don't have much money to drink." ”

The two hit it off at first sight, chatting from domestic to foreign, from European politics to the global economy, from travel to life.

Alexandre Dumas seemed to have a good amount of wine, and raised his glass again to signal Li Jin to clink glasses: "Travel, I have been living in Spain for three or four years, I love to run around when I am young, and when I am old, my legs and feet are not good, if you don't mind, I can be your tour guide, and I don't have to pay too much salary." ”

Li Jin thought about it, he has been alone since he went abroad for two or three months, and it seems good to have such an old friend with similar interests to accompany him, and then he promised that he was born to make friends, perhaps this was also the original intention of his love apartment back then.

Nearly half a month later, the two walked past the Alhambra, watched the bullfights in Selivia, crossed the Puerta del Sol in Toledo, went to Madrid to enjoy the carnival of tens of thousands of fans, went around and around, and returned to the tavern where they met for the first time.

Alexandre Dumas and Li Jin drank all the wine in their glasses, and their faces were flushed with red light, slightly drunk.

Dumas filled the glasses of the two of them with wine, and after half a month of traveling, Dumas became more energetic: "Will you leave the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes, go to England, see Big Ben, and then go back to China, why don't you come with me and go back to China to see?"

Alexandre Dumas chuckled: "No, no, I'm used to being alone, and I also like life in Spain very much, it's a pity that I can't go back, my son is very similar to me, it's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to introduce you two to each other, you two should be able to talk very well." ”

After hearing this, Li Jin didn't insist anymore, and after drinking a cup of himself, he said, "Maybe, Alexandre Dumas, your son should be very good." He then took out a bundle of euros from his bag and handed it to Alexandre Dumas.

Hearing Li Jin's praise of Lu Ziqiao, this old man, who had been adrift alone for most of his life, couldn't help but show a trace of pride on his face, and then pushed the money back: "No need, I have eaten and drunk you for half a month, and I have traveled most of Spain, how can I be embarrassed to collect your money again." ”

The two smiled heartily and clinked glasses.

The night in Spain fell quickly, and the two chatted while drinking, and involuntarily talked drunk.

"Li Jin, if we had known each other earlier, you and I would have had my son, wandering the rivers and lakes together, people passing through the flowers, and the leaves would not stick to themselves haha. ”

"Hahaha, let you go back to China with me, and I will give you and your son a suite, so that he can give you filial piety. ”

"How is one house enough, my son is nicknamed Little White Dragon in the Waves, it is estimated that now, he has already given birth to seven or eight little grandsons for me, and I can't live in a suite!"

"That's a building haha!"

"Li Jin, you are a good boy, although you can earn a lot of money, but you still have to spend more time with your parents, old man, at my age, I don't want to be famous, money, or anything, it is better to have a good child by your side. ”
