Because he helped his grandfather collect coal, he was praised by the whole family in turn, and he was very happy all night, and later with the encouragement of Chen's mother, he also performed a show for the whole family, which is said to be a new learning from cartoons, although until the end, everyone didn't see what he was performing, just saw the butt twisted and twisted, the fleshy little body shook left and right, occasionally raised his legs, stretched his arms, and got rid of a large tumbler.
But seeing him perform so hard, his forehead was sweating after the dance, and the whole family applauded him vigorously, and praised him against his will, saying that the jump was so good. Of course, only my father and brother were the ones who went against my will, and my grandparents didn't close their mouths happily from beginning to end, so I guess I really felt good.
Because Binbin went home this afternoon, Chen Anxiu and the others were not too anxious to go back, they played more at home, and went out at a little after nine o'clock. Zhang Shinian's car, the street lights in the village are quite bright, but when they get to the mountain road outside, the street lights are far apart, and it looks darker, and from time to time there are cars coming towards him, and Zhang Shinian slows down the speed of the car a little.
Chen Anxiu and Ton Ton wanted to talk and went to the back seat, and they were hotly crowded between their father and brother, Chen Anxiu asked about today's auction, and Ton Ton said to him.
Ton Ton is now a little older, but after all, he is just a thirteen-year-old child, a teenager with a heavy heart, he tamed the opponent in the class at the auction today, and he can still hold it in front of others, and he doesn't know how to hide it in front of his father, and he can't help but show a little smugness outside the words.
How could Chen Anxiu not hear it, and he didn't hesitate to praise himself, "Well done, son, so he shouldn't target you in the class in the future." "Actually, it's okay to continue to target, it's good for Ton to learn to fight back, what he has always been most worried about is that Ton Ton doesn't care about anything, whether it's the kindness or provocation of others, it's like isolating himself in a separate world, that's bad.
"I'm not afraid of him targeting me, I can see at a glance what he wants to do on his face. β
"Be humble in front of your classmates, Chen Qiuyang. β
Tons sneered, "I've always been humble. β
Chen Anxiu stretched out his hand and touched his waist and said, "Is this still modest?
Tons of tons laughed and avoided his hand, risking his favorite to join in the fun, and also took the opportunity to pounce on his brother, Chen Anxiu caught this kneading two, caught that kneading two, and the two children shrank their heads and hugged each other and shouted for help.
The children had a request, and Zhang Shinian also meant it, but Chen Anxiu knew that it was in the car, and he didn't dare to make too much trouble, Zhang Shinian came over a step, he stepped down, and reached out to pull up the two small ones who were half lying on the seat.
Tons and Mao Mao took a break for a while before relieving their breath. Chen Anxiu thought about it for a while and felt that his eldest son was too promising, although Zhang Shinian believed that more on-the-ground contact was more important than reading books, he had seen a lot of scenes with tons and tons in recent years, and all kinds of uncles and aunts from tons were also taken around from time to time, but at the age of thirteen, he could talk eloquently in front of experts, and he still had something to say, "Tons of tons, you really see everything?"
"No, in fact, only a small part can be seen." "Some of the rough production of course can be seen at a glance, many still have to use methods, and these methods, some are heard in the conversation with the big father and grandfather in the appreciation of calligraphy and painting, some are to listen to the experts when visiting the exhibition, and Qi Baishi's piece, is to follow the grandfather out before, in the grandfather's friends have seen the authentic handiwork, as for the last piece of ink lotus, it is also with a lot of chance, the last time my father came back from Beijing, the Zhang family's grandfather sent him those calligraphy and painting works, a considerable part of them is Xie Banshi's information and calligraphy and painting genuine, he saw more and naturally remembered someγ
Chen Anxiu listened to these words, and suddenly remembered what Uncle Lu said last time when he was in Yuezhou, the importance of a person's environment to their growth and development, which is really true.
"Xie Banshi, did he go today?" Zhang Shinian had an impression of this name.
"I guess so. Although he didn't hear the name with his own ears, there is not only one painter surnamed Xie who is active in the art world today, but at that age, he was respected and noticed by all parties as soon as he appeared.
"What, do you know him?" is Chen Anxiu, who doesn't know anything about painting, and has also heard Xie Banshi's name, but only knows that he is a big painter, and the auction price of his works is very high.
"I've seen his art exhibitions before, but I haven't seen anyone, I had a good relationship with him when my second uncle was still there, and after my second uncle passed away, he had very little contact with the Zhang family. He only heard from his uncle that Xie Banshi was born in a scholarly family, but by his grandfather's generation, the family was already very depressed, Xie Banshi sold paintings in Shanghai since he was a teenager, and later became friends with his second uncle because of his paintings, and the second uncle sponsored him to go to school in France.
"Your family is full of friends. β
Spit and complain, but Xie Banshi is a character who has not been in contact with him after all, and they haven't talked too much, Mao Mao may be a little sleepy, leaning on his father and yawning, Chen Anxiu also stopped talking and held him in his arms and patted him, the car slid quietly forward under the dim street lamp, after the car arrived in the town, the lights outside were brighter again, at this point in time, many shops in the town were closed, only some food shops, hotels and supermarkets were still open.
When passing by the beef shop, he saw that the door was still open, Chen Anxiu remembered the beef balls he had ordered here before, so he told Zhang Shinian to stop at the door of the store, and originally wanted to hand over Mao Mao to Ton Ton to hold, but as soon as he moved, Mao Mao woke up, and when he saw his father go down, he also had to follow.
It was late, it was very cold outside, Chen Anxiu took him down with a scarf, and said to Tonton, "Don't come out without a down jacket, I'll go over and see if I'll be back soon, do you want to eat something?"
"Buy some beef jerky, there's no food at home. β
"That's good. Chen Anxiu closed the car door for him, and Zhang Shinian, who was in the driver's seat, also came down.
The two led the child into the door, there were no customers in the store, and the owner of the shop, a man in his sixties named Lu Shan, was wiping down the empty cooked food counter.
"Uncle Lu. "Grandpa. "Dad shouted, and Mao Mao shouted.
As soon as Lu Shan looked up and saw that it was them, he smiled and said, "It's Mao Mao and Dad are here, come in and sit." β
"Uncle, are you busy? Do you have to wipe this counter every day?"
"It's all food, it's all oil, if you don't wipe it for a day, if you don't wipe it for two days, you won't be able to wipe it out, are you here to see the beef meatballs? Don't worry, the meat is marinated, I'll take you in to have a look, I'll make it for you tomorrow morning, and I can send it over before noon." β
Since Chen Anxiu's small restaurant made a stew pot, the demand for all kinds of meatballs has also increased greatly, and he also thought about making it himself, but it takes manpower not to mention, and the taste is not as good as those with ancestral craftsmanship and secret recipes, especially the beef meatballs of the Lu family are a must in Qiuli Town, and even the third grandfather said that he can't make the taste of others.
"I'm not worried about this, uncle, in a few days, isn't my mountain goods store going to open? In the past two years, I just know that I have been busy, and I haven't invited the neighbors to have a meal, on the day of the opening, I want to invite the big guy to have a meal, my father also means this, when the time comes, your beef meatballs must not be less, first come and talk to you in advance, and then 30 catties more than usual that day." β
Lu Shan took a notebook and wrote it down, "Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll just order more meat when I ask for meat from the beef factory tomorrow, and your mountain goods store will be cleaned up so quickly? β
Chen Anxiu said with a smile, "There are a lot of things at hand, and I am also busy with it." Uncle, do you have any new beef jerky here?"
Lu Shan should lead them inside, "Yes, yes, they are all on the shelves inside, five spices, original flavors, and spicy ones, as well as the beef hoof tendons and crispy pot soaked in this old soup are also just made today, what do you want, taste it yourself, pack it yourself, and the bags are all on this table." β
Inside is a big storage room, there are a lot of high and low shelves, everywhere is cleaned up, not only tons, but Chen Anxiu also likes their beef jerky here, which is made of their local yellow beef, the jerky is tough to eat, but it is not very dry and woody, and it is a little moist, and it is not like beef jerky in the supermarket, and it tastes like seasoning in the mouth.
Chen Anxiu pinched a small piece from the large tray on the shelf, tore it in half, tasted it himself, and handed the other half to Zhang Shinian's mouth very easily.
When he took the risk of seeing his father eat it, he wanted it too, Chen Anxiu flicked his head and said, "You can't chew this badly, I'll buy you something else later." β
Lu Shan knew the relationship between Chen Anxiu and Zhang Shinian, but seeing the two men so intimate, how to say it, although the good skin appearance greatly alleviated this discomfort, but he was still not used to it, so he took the opportunity to say, "There are too many things in here, I will take Mao Mao to wait outside." "The three children of the Chen family, he has known them for many years, and he knows that they are not the kind of people who can't eat enough free food, so he is also very relieved that Chen Anxiu stayed inside and installed it himself. He said to Mao Mao again, "Let's go, grandpa will take you to eat something else." β
Chen Anxiu knew that these people in the town who were doing food business, if they brought their children to the door, they would add a little bit to the door, not much, that's what it means, he has also been here many times in the beef shop, and each time he brought two braised eggs or a small plate of dried tofu, so when he heard Lu Shan say that he wanted to give Mao something to eat, he didn't care too much, but just said on his face, "Uncle Lu, don't give him anything, he just eats, just let him sit outside." β
Lu Shan replied, "You pick something, I'll talk to Mao Mao at the door." There was nothing on the counter outside, but there was freshly braised beef next to it, and he was going to put it in later. He picked a piece of tendonless one, took a knife, and prepared to cut a piece for Mao Mao to eat.
How smart he was, he also saw that people were going to give him food, so he said loudly, "Grandpa, I want a big one." "He has no skin and no face, and he has to pick and choose when he eats white food.
When we met every day, I called grandpa, Lu Shan really liked him, and moved the knife back two centimeters, and finally cut a piece of beef half the size of a palm, three or four centimeters thick to him.
Mao Mao was happy, took it and put it in his mouth, and as soon as he tasted it, he said, "Grandpa, I have to eat it too." "It's not enough to eat white food by myself, and I'm worried that my brother will also have one.
He wanted to say not to give it to a child who was staring at him like this, so he cut another piece of about the same size, and ran outside to take it, "Gotta got, gotta got." β
Tons of tons in the car heard Mao Mao shouting him, and thought something was wrong, so he drove the door down, came down to see, Mao Mao held a piece of beef to give him, he didn't know that this was the white food that his brother wanted, and thought it was bought by his father, and he didn't think much about it, and he took it, and Mao Mao went into the house to eat together, Lu Shan saw that the two brothers were eating the ground, and poured them two glasses of water.
Zhang Shinian received a phone call inside, but the signal in the storage room was not good, he walked out while talking, and saw Ton Ton and Mao sitting there eating and drinking in the outer shop, which was a little strange, but the other party was talking about something on the phone, so he didn't ask much, and walked out directly.
Chen Anxiu came out later, he received two packs of beef jerky in it, and sandwiched some crispy pots, ready to go home as cold dishes to eat, he was shocked when he came out to see this scene, he didn't pay a penny, how did these two children eat here?
No matter what Lu Shan said, people must have said that they liked the two brothers, so they cut pieces of meat for the two children to taste, and it was nothing.
But people don't say it, it doesn't mean that Chen Anxiu doesn't understand, people's braised beef is expensive, a pound is only a fist bigger, tons and Mao Mao these two pieces add up to a small half a catty, who can be so generous, besides, tons and tons are in the car, no one has seen anyone, can they still be sent to the car? Eight out of ten, the reason is that Mao Mao is here.
Tons of tons probably guessed that the beef in his hand was a little bit eaten, so he took the risk unconsciously, and sat there and gnawed on the ground one by one.
Chen Anxiu felt that he was going to be angry with him sooner or later, so he deliberately said to Lu Shan, "Uncle, you see that they have eaten your beef, and I have no money to give it to you, otherwise, I will keep one in your house as a mortgage." β
When he heard this, he was finally willing to look up at his father, and his little mouth was oily.
Lu Shan also knew that Chen Anxiu was joking, so he cooperated with him and said, "Okay, I like both, which one do you want to keep?"
Chen Anxiu put his arms around the shoulders and said, "I've been raising this for more than ten years, and it's not easy to raise it to such a big one, I'm not willing to give it to this small one, I've only raised it for two years, so I'll give this small one to your family, and let him eat meat here every day." β
As soon as he heard that he was going to stay here, and the beef was not eaten, he stood up and staggered out, "Daddy, daddy." "He's going to find Zhang Shinian.
Zhang Shinian was on the phone, and when he heard his movement, he was afraid that he would fall on the steps at the door, so he hung up the phone in a hurry and came to hug him.
Chen Anxiu wanted him to have a long memory, and he didn't intend to let him go easily, so he said, "You see that you have eaten your grandfather's meat, don't you stay, let your brother stay?"
Mao Mao hugged Zhang Shinian's neck, looked at Ton Ton, and shook his head, "No." His pronunciation of the word "no" is still very accurate.
"So let your big daddy stay?"
He arched his neck at the time of the chapter, "No. "Big Daddy doesn't stay.
Zhang Shinian almost understood this, so he smiled and asked Mao Mao, "Big dad doesn't stay, brother doesn't stay, do you want your dad to stay?"
Mao Mao looked up at Chen Anxiu, probably understanding whether he was joking with him or something, he laughed hey, and nodded this time, "En." "He ate the beef, and he wanted to keep his father as collateral.
Chen Anxiu's head was pounding, "You are very good, you are presumptuous, you wait for me." 166 Reading Network
