Chapter 221: A Trip to Beijing (5)
Fei Lao hurriedly said: "Hey, you little comrade, didn't the old man just say a few more words? What are you leaving?"
"Xiao Su, don't make trouble. Come back soon. Professor Zhou and Mrs. Zhou stopped Su Yi. I didn't see Lao Fei's neck crooked. If you want to go, you can wait until you get the benefits before you go. Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain today?
Su Yi was just pretending, she wanted Fei Lao to know that they didn't ask him for anything, so that he didn't take himself too seriously. Those teachers who were identified as mediocre by him are also well-known teachers in Zhanjiang City, and their level is still very high. When they were asked to teach Chengcheng, she and Xiao Yi also worked a lot.
They did their best to provide Chengcheng with the most suitable education for him, and such a mind should not be ridiculed by Fei Lao, an outsider.
She saw that Fei Lao was holding on to the city, afraid that he would be taken away by herself, and felt that this old man was actually quite cute. He's just too upright and too upright to speak.
Such a pure true master is better than those fake masters who don't know how to pretend to understand and have a lot of eyes.
Fei Lao raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows and flew Su Yi's eyes, "The old man still has something to say to Chengcheng, you wait outside first." ”
After that, he pulled Chengcheng into the study for further examination.
Professor Zhou boasted in front of Su Yi and Xiao Yi earlier that he wanted to get some good pen and ink from his old friend for Chengcheng. He gave Xiaobao to Su Yi, followed up with him, and reminded him: "Old Fei, don't patronize and talk to Chengcheng, give Chengcheng some of your collection." ”
"My stuff is only for my own people. "Fei Lao cherishes his talents, after some investigation, he wants to take the city as a closed disciple, and he is afraid that Su Yi will take Qiao.
He saw that Professor Zhou could speak in front of Su Yi, and thought about it: "This little doll and I are not related, why should I give him good things? When my things are worthless cabbage all over the street?"
Professor Zhou and Fei Lao have been friends for decades, and when he saw him put up his shelf, he said: "You want to take the city as an apprentice, what kind of scheming do you want to play with me? I can't be his master, people have parents." ”
Fei Lao pouted: "You go and talk to the anxious girl outside on my behalf." How many people want to beg me to be a disciple now? I don't even like it. The small city worships me as a teacher, and only he is good. ”
Chengcheng asked at this time, "Grandpa Fei, if I am a disciple of you, do you want to stay in the capital city forever?"
"Of course. You'll have to share a yard with me. What to shout grandpa, shout teacher. "Most children are not patient and focused, and need to be supervised by adults.
Chengcheng was a little regretful: "Then I can't worship you as a teacher." I have to go home with my aunt and uncle. ”
Professor Zhou heard that Chengcheng rejected Fei Lao so quickly, and he wanted to knock on the child's head to see if it was filled with water.
"Chengcheng, didn't Grandpa Zhou tell you, Mr. Fei is both virtuous and artistic, and his painting skills can be said to be the best in the country. You ......"
Chengcheng was firm: "That's not going to work. "He's going home. "Auntie is still waiting for me, Grandpa Fei, I'll leave first. Thank you for sending me ...... Lameitu."
"Wait!" Fei Lao didn't expect that the most difficult thing was not Su Yi as he thought, but this brainless little broken child, "You...... Forget it, what I'll tell you. Lao Zhou, you go and call that Xiao Su in, I want to talk to her. ”
"No need...... Chengcheng didn't finish speaking, asked Professor Zhou to cover his mouth, and dragged it away.
It was the first time that Fei Lao had been rejected twice so neatly, and he was so angry that he dropped a pen wash in the house. After falling, he covered his heart and sighed: That is his favorite white porcelain pen wash.
"Fei Lao, I heard that you want to take the city as an apprentice, and you still want him to live with you?"
"That's right. Fei Lao didn't put on a show anymore: "Chengcheng's qualifications are very good, the foundation is quite solid, and the teacher you invited him is no longer suitable for teaching him." Continuing to let Chengcheng learn from those half-people will only delay him. ”
"I don't know if Lao Zhou told you, I don't accept apprentices easily. So far, I have only brought five disciples, and they are all quite famous in the calligraphy and painting circles and the literary world, you can go and inquire. I plan to take the city as a closed disciple. ”
Su Yi had always maintained a polite smile, and the moment he heard Fei Lao say "closed disciple", he cracked. She took a deep breath, "Are you serious?"
If it is a closed disciple, it cannot be easily refused.
"Naturally. I heard Lao Zhou say that you are from other places, which place is exact? Is it far away from Beijing? Chengcheng misses home, he doesn't want to live with me, you do work for him. I don't lack him to eat, drink, and live here, and he follows me, and you don't have to spend a penny. ”
It seems that Fei Lao really wants to take the city as an apprentice, and even has to give him food, clothing, housing and transportation.
If it weren't for the fact that the Beijing market was about to surge, Fei Lao would most likely be involved, and the end would probably not be very good. Su Yi must be happy to let Chengcheng stay in Jingshi and mix with him.
"Fei Lao, I don't know if you want to leave Jingshi?" Su Yi looked at Fei Lao and raised his eyebrows, and explained to him: "Our hometown is in Zhanjiang City, Sichuan Province, and you may not have heard of this place. Zhanjiang City and Beijing City are separated by tens of millions of miles, and the city is so small that we, as parents, are reluctant to let him be too far away from us. ”
"If you are willing to go to Zhanjiang with us, I will cover your food, clothing, housing and transportation. ”
Su Yi's words made Fei Lao couldn't help laughing: "What kind of bag? I can still ask you to raise it! Besides, can you afford to raise me? I like to collect some old things, which is quite expensive." Hey, I'm talking to you about this!"
"Xiao Su, can I understand your words as rejecting me?"
"It's not a refusal. Who would be stupid enough to refuse to let a child be your closed disciple? If you want to lead the city, you don't have to be in the capital. I'm sure you've noticed recently that the atmosphere in Beijing has changed and is no longer suitable for retirement. My wife and I have persuaded Professor Zhou to come with us to live in Zhanjiang. You go back with us, and someone will accompany you. ”
Su Yi saw that Fei Lao did not directly reject her proposal, but was thinking, and continued to throw the bait: "I don't know if you like to play chess? My father-in-law is a chess idiot, and he can talk to you every day." I also have a friend who is quite insightful in painting and calligraphy, and he also likes to collect some old things. ”
"I've seen his collection, and although it's not as valuable as the one in your study, there are many treasures that you don't have. I also have a brick house in the countryside, more than one acre of self-reserved land. You can also go to the countryside at any time to stay, fish, collect wind and enjoy the idyllic scenery. Plant your own vegetables and flowers, enjoy picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, and leisurely see the leisure ...... of Nanshan"
Fei Lao's fingers tapped lightly on the desk, "You didn't lie to me?"
"Of course!" Su Yi swore with a curse: "If I have half a lie, I will choke to death when I eat!"
Fei Lao is used to seeing spring and white snow, and the people who interact with him are all elegant Hongru, and there are few Bai Ding with vulgar words like Su Yi. Her sentence "choking to death while eating" didn't choke herself, and almost choked Fei Lao.
Fei Lao felt: He and this Comrade Xiao Su really have no common language. How do you live together?
He was a little moved, and said: "Actually, I'm used to living in Beijing, everything is convenient here, and most of my relatives and friends are here." Zhanjiang or something, forget it. ”
Even if his little grandson's qualifications are not as good as those of Chengcheng, he can always become a talent. Even if the achievement is not very big, it is still acceptable.
"Fei Lao, I think that an art master like you can't stick to the old ways and be trapped in one place. Get out and see how you can get inspired. ”
"You have a point. However, I didn't stay in Beijing all the time, and I still go to other places a lot......"
Su Yi said with a dry mouth, took a sip of tea, and continued to shake him: "Then have you been to Zhanjiang City? We were really nice and nice to live there. Besides, although I don't have any artistic skills, I am very good at cooking. ”
"You come to Zhanjiang with me, and I promise to let you eat and drink well every day. I have a farm over there, so you can eat meat and wine every day......"
Director Hao, the director of the farm and the restaurant, did not accept all of them, and left her two percent. Because restaurants and farms need her to take care of them.
Director Hao and the leaders of the municipal party committee trusted her very much, and they did not worry about handing over the restaurant and farm to others. She is willing to transfer her shares to the state for free, and the country cannot chill her heart.
Fei Lao slapped his hand: "You don't have to say it." I'm going to have lunch soon, I have the ingredients in the kitchen, you can get me a meal first. If she is really as good at cooking as she boasts, he will go to Zhanjiang to live for a few years.
When the city is bigger, he will be abducted back to Beijing to study in high school and college.
"Okay. I'll show you a hand. "Before Su Yi cooked, he asked Professor Zhou to go to the Great Hall of the Armed Forces Department of Beijing City and pick up Xiao Yi to eat.
A big family like Fei Lao, one more person can't eat him. In order to avoid Fei Lao's repentance, it is better to let Xiao Yi persuade him again. It's good to let Fei Lao know their sincerity.
Su Yi was too worried. She didn't know that although Fei Lao had a very fairy temperament, he was an authentic foodie and was very picky. He also loves to drink. Capturing Fei Lao's stomach is equivalent to capturing him as a person.
Su Yi's craftsmanship can conquer so many people in Zhanjiang City, and naturally he can also win Fei Lao.
When Fei Lao was hiding from the war in his early years, he lived in the provincial capital of Sichuan Province for two years. Although he is a northerner, he can also eat spicy food. In fact, he loves spicy food.
It's a pity that the chili peppers in Beijing are not spicy enough, which makes him regretful.
Su Yi brought his own bean paste out this time. Her bean paste is made with medium spicy long red peppers, rattan peppers, and five-spice powder. This kind of spiciness, Sichuan people may not feel strong enough, but the northerners eat it, but it is just right. There will be no embarrassing scenes that are so spicy that your tongue burns, your throat hurts, your stomach hurts, and your nose and tears are full of tears.
With the help of homemade bean paste seasoning, she fried fish-flavored eggplant and mapo tofu, cooked Dongpo pork, then made a braised fish, and used the sun-dried shiitake mushrooms and mushrooms brought out from her hometown in the stroller to cook a pot of fresh mushroom soup.
When Su Yi finished cooking the fish and cooking the mushroom soup, Fei Lao, who had been standing at the kitchen door to observe her, couldn't help it, and for the first time in his life, he didn't take a pair of chopsticks and stood on the edge of the stove to try it.
He first sandwiched a piece of braised fish and ate it with his eyes squinted. That's the taste, if it were spicy, it would be even better. Later, he tasted Dongpo meat and fish-flavored eggplant, which reminded him of his youth, and his expression was much softer. The smell of his mouth made every pore on his body relax.
Fei Lao is a refreshing pretending to be a star, he wiped his mouth, stood up straight, put his hands behind his back, and said to Su Yi who was shooting cucumbers in a light tone: "Your craftsmanship is okay." The old man has decided, and will go to Zhanjiang with you to live for a while. If it's not as good as you say, and I'm not satisfied, I'll go back to Beijing at any time. ”
"I'm sure you'll be satisfied. Su Yi smiled: "I will never give you a chance to regret it." But, Fei Lao, your yard is so big and it's space, so you live alone?"
"Hmm. I like to be quiet. Split up early and let the children go out and live alone. After my wife passed away, I lived here alone. ”
Su Yi's cooking skills conquered Fei Lao, and while he ate vegetables, he gossiped with her: "My eldest invited me an aunt who cooks and cleans, and the aunt's skills are so poor that she can't eat the food." I asked her to clean every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday and cook for herself. ”
"You can also cook?" Su Yi couldn't imagine what Fei Lao looked like when he cooked. No matter how you look at the kitchen, it doesn't match him. He, a fairy-like, pretending and picky person, can stand the fireworks in the kitchen?
"What kind of eyes are you? The old man not only knows how to cook, but also cooks well. "It's just a little bit worse than you.
Fei Lao ate seven or eight pieces of fish in one go, and it was so beautiful that it was bubbling. He saw that a third of the fish had been eaten by him before it was served on the table, and while he was happy, his face was a little hot, why was he so greedy? It was so rude.
Su Yi saw Fei Lao put down his chopsticks, his face was awkward, he bit his lip and smiled, turned his back and laughed silently while mixing cucumbers.
Fei Lao pretended to be casual and put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth clean, "I'll go to the study to see if there are any books suitable for Chengcheng to read." ”
Su Yi didn't dare to speak, for fear of opening his mouth and laughing, annoying Fei Lao, so he hummed from his nose and responded.
Her reaction made Fei Lao very satisfied. Happily gone.
However, after he left, he didn't go to the study, and was entangled by Dabao in the living room.
Dabao liked Fei Lao's well-trimmed beard very much, and when he saw Fei Lao, he was about to pounce on him in the arms of Master Zhou's mother, and opened his hand to beg for a hug.
Fei Lao saw that he was very cute, and took him from Mrs. Zhou's hand. He didn't expect Dabao to be so heavy, he didn't hold it steady, and almost threw him to the ground.
"Oh my God!" Mrs. Zhou screamed when she saw Dabao slip to Fei Lao's knee and was about to touch the ground.
Fei Lao used his strength in his hand to hold him.
Chengcheng was feeding milk to Xiaobao in a stroller, and he was also shocked when he saw this scene.
This small accident did not scare Dabao, but scared the two old men into cardiac arrest for a moment.
Fei Lao hugged Dabao in fear, "I'm scared to death." This kid is really heavy. What does he eat?"
"Grandma (a sound). Dabao shook his head and replied. Many people have asked him this question, and Ma Ma specially taught him how to answer, and he is so clever that he remembers it.
Fei Lao and Mrs. Zhou were both amused, "Little clever ghost." ”
Dabao knew that the clever was praising him, hehe, he was stupid for a moment, raised his little fat hand, grabbed Fei Lao's beard, pulled it hard, and bared his front teeth and smiled: "Oh, oh!"
Fei Lao's body twitched in pain, and his face was distorted, "Boy, let go! Comrade Su Fen come over and take him away! This kid is too strong, and I will tear off his beard." ”
Dabao shouted and raised his voice suddenly, and Fei Lao, who was so embarrassed in pain, was so frightened that his face wrinkled, and he started crying. This beautiful bearded grandpa is too scary, the baby is afraid, and he wants to be hugged by numbness!
Dabao howled, Xiaobao stopped drinking milk, raised his head and arched his back in support of his brother, "Wow, ah!"
made Mrs. Zhou scramble, and hurriedly hugged him to coax. If Dabao could be coaxed easily, he wouldn't be so troublesome.
Chengcheng came forward and coaxed Xiaobao to lose his voice, but Dabao cried more and more, Xiaoyuan's body twitched and twitched, and the soft flesh all over his body was trembling, which was quite rhythmic.
Mrs. Zhou hurriedly carried him to the kitchen and asked Su Yi to coax him.
Su Yi gave Dabao milk, gagged his mouth, stroked his back, and slowly coaxed him.
Mrs. Zhou and Su Yi explained: "He grabbed Lao Fei's beard and made Lao Fei cry in pain. Lao Fei's voice was a little louder, which scared the child into crying. ”
"This kid, it's really a bad beating!" Su Yi slapped Dabao's ass twice. She tried her best to catch Fei Lao, but he was good, he went to pull people's beards, and cried to scare people.
If he annoys Fei Lao and he doesn't leave with them, what can he do?
"Don't cry, Dabao, eat milk obediently. After eating, grandma will take you to the yard to see the goldfish, the fish is beautiful. ”
Su Yi rubbed the tip of her nose stupidly, and her wife was too fond of Dabao.
Xiao Yi and Professor Zhou came back soon, and everyone had a good meal together, and they were very satisfied.
In the next few days, Professor Zhou and Fei Lao were collecting things, opening letters of introduction, and making preparations for a long journey. Su Yi and Xiao Yi took their three children to eat, drink and have fun everywhere.
A week later, the group took the train and returned to Zhanjiang City. Fei Lao and they thought the luggage was bulky and too lazy to take it, so they all sent it to the post office.
They returned to Zhanjiang City, and their luggage was still on their way.
Su Yi took back the intimate little padded jacket, bought some daily necessities for the three old people, and arranged for them to live in Yan Er's house temporarily. Because the Yan family has more empty houses and more spacious places.
Moreover, Yan Er is more educated, and he can talk about poetry, calligraphy and painting with the three old professors, and play with their own collections, so that they will not be too bored.
