Chapter 133 of the text volume, tens of thousands of poor ghosts

Next chapter

Integration has affected the traditions and customs of various countries, and Christmas has gradually become a global holiday.

Many people in China have also begun to celebrate Christmas.

Even in the scorching summer of the Southern Hemisphere, wearing Santa's red fur to surf and cool off, it is a little funny.

This is a ceremony to celebrate the birth of the Son, and the Three Wise Men who came to give gifts at the time of the birth of the Magi, and pioneered the custom of Christmas gifts.

In the eyes of Westerners, Christmas gifts are the most precious, and they hope that the gifts they receive are also "Maggie's gifts".

Honor, holiness, wisdom.

O. Henry takes this from here to tell a story that is "not surprising without twists and turns".

The male protagonist, Jim, is a small clerk with a salary of barely enough to make ends meet, and the heroine, Della, is a virtuous and kind housewife, and the two live in poverty. But each of them has one of the most precious treasures: Jim's heirloom gold watch and Della's waterfall hair. In order to give each other a Christmas present, Jim sells his gold watch to buy a set of tortoiseshell jewelry combs for Della, and Della sells his long hair to buy a white gold watch chain for Jim.

Without each other's knowledge, the two men gave up their most precious things, but their Christmas wishes were disappointed.

The unexpected and reasonable ending highlights the deep affection between husband and wife.

【…… It is not surprising that the story of two silly children living in an apartment apartment is extremely unwise and sacrifices the most precious thing in the house. 】

[Some people may think that this is the most useless gift, but I think that like those three wise men, the gift they gave was the smartest in the world. 】

They are Maggie. 】

……

The translated version of "The Gift of the Magi" is more than 4,000 words, and Shen Zhe returned to the dormitory at noon because he had classes in the morning, and it took more than half an hour to complete.

After uploading to the submission page, prepare to read the book after lunch.

Chu Feiyan pushed the door in.

"Hey, Feiyan, why did you come back, it's rare to see you go back to the dormitory at noon. Shen Zhe was surprised.

Every time he called Chu Feiyan's name, there was a feeling of "where did Yuan Shao's old thief escape".

"Guess you're there, looking for you. Chu Feiyan said with a smile.

"What's the matter? It's not going to be a party in your circle, to be honest, I can't get used to it. Shen Zhe shook his head and said.

When he first reported for duty, Shen Zhe was also a little surprised that he was assigned to the same dormitory as the rich second generation, and later found out that there were actually many such people on the campus of Yan University, and from Chu Feiyan's frequent participation in those gatherings, he also formed a circle. Chen Tai had been with Chu Feiyan once, and was very depressed when he came back: "How do I feel that I have become Lao Chu's follower?" turned his head and said: "There are so many beautiful women in it!"

Dai Zhixue has a lesson in the style of a big brother: "Those who can communicate with the rich second generation must also be the rich second generation, what are you making a fuss?"

According to Chen Tai's description, it was a dance party, with a bunch of rich people and a bunch of beautiful women.

Suits and leather shoes, skirts fluttering.

Anyway, it's right to let him look at it intently.

Shen Zhe guessed that such a gathering was probably a place for characters like Chu Feiyan to expand their contacts and catch Kaizi with some flowers and courtyard flowers.

After receiving Chu Feiyan's invitation again, the three of them shook their heads, and they couldn't be foils.

Shen Zhe didn't want to go, and he abused Chen Tai and his ilk with this little manuscript fee, and in the face of those classmates who had huge wealth standing behind him, it was estimated that he had to turn it over.

"Ah Zhe, do you have any ideas for adapting the "Legend of the White-Haired Witch" you wrote?"

Shen Zhe, who had made up his mind not to go with Chu Feiyan, cleaned up the table by himself, and turned around when he heard the words: "How do you know?"

"Yes, that's right, I'll introduce you to a friend. ”

"What a friend, alas, don't pull, if there are too many people, I won't go, and the end won't be much better than Atay!"

Chu Feiyan said with a smile: "I'm also tired of that kind of occasion, isn't this what I need in the future?" Today is different, my buddy came to Yanjing in advance, and I heard that we have a dormitory, so I have to see you. It just has something to do with you, if you don't go, I'll lose face. ”

"Do you have buddies too?" Shen Zhe was surprised, "I thought that only Atai had buddies like him......"

"I'm also a young man, right?"

"I can't see it!"

Chu Feiyan looked at her boss suit, and then at Shen Zhe's youth suit, a little speechless.

"Let's go, I want to see where your buddy is. ”

Shen Zhe said suddenly.

……

Ancient and modern restaurants

A handsome and fashionably dressed young man sat in the reception area scratching his ears and cheeks, accompanied by a beautiful urban beauty.

The lobby manager that Shen Zhe and the others had seen last time put his hands in front of him as a guest.

It's just that the face is very weird.

He is well-informed, and he can't figure out what the relationship between the two people on the other side is for a while, and they should be a couple when they come here, but they don't look like it at all. Especially whenever a young man speaks ill of him, as soon as the beautiful woman around him coughs, he immediately becomes honest.

Dressed in brand-name clothing, he insisted on wearing the temperament of a registered trademark, which did not match his identity.

Helplessly, this is the guest assigned by the young director of the group, the guest came early, the host did not appear, and his subordinate had to be patiently accompanied.

Suddenly, an employee who looked like a waiter came over and whispered a few words in the manager's ear.

The words "guest bill" are faintly heard.

The manager frowned, nodded and said, "I'll go over and take a look later." ”

The young man immediately noticed it, slapped the coffee table in front of him, and said scoldingly: "Damn, dare to make trouble in Brother Feiyan's territory, take me there, I'll see which grandson is so fat!"

"Ahem......" The beauty looked at the young man with a slightly threatening look.

The young man shrunk his neck and said flatteringly: "You can't tell my sister about this, otherwise you will have to deduct a lot of living expenses." ”

The manager smiled bitterly: "Sir, don't bother you. ”

"It's good that I can handle it myself, Brother Feiyan will come in a while, if I don't be happy, I won't be happy in my heart, go ahead, get the troublesome grandson away quickly!"

The manager accompanied him and walked into the restaurant, but he complained in his heart: I don't know which son, I owe education!

The young man lay back, his eyes glancing at the door of the restaurant from time to time.

……

Enjoy the life of a rich man again, with an ordinary, luxurious car outside, like a small bar, and a black-clad driver pretending to be deaf in front of him.

Shen Zhe exclaimed: "Feiyan, this car has been waiting outside the school?"

"Well, my parents arranged it, and I always go out of school to study, and the taxi is not safe......"

"Pretend to be low-key, cool in your own house, I like it, how much can I buy one?"

"Custom-made, if you want," Chu Feiyan thought for a while and said with a smile: "You can afford it, twenty or thirty million is enough......"

“…… Forget it!"

"After two years of college coursework, I have the money in my hand, and I will give you one. ”

"Don't, I can't afford it!" Shen Zhe's head shook like a rattle, and he changed the topic: "By the way, what friends do you want to introduce to me?"

Jiang Xiaolou, a freshman in the Department of Management of the Film Academy. ”

Shen Zhe was stunned for a moment: "Half of the semester is almost over, where are the new students now?"

"For some people, it doesn't matter when they report for duty. ”

"Disdain!" (To be continued.) )
