Ning Shan answered her brother's call in the morning, and went to open the door for Chen Lou in a hurry. Her brother was busy for a while before she found out that when she wanted to hang up, she heard Chen Lou's wonderful scolding.

The small platform is too small, Chen Lou's voice is not deliberately lowered, and all kinds of cynicism with jokes emerge in endlessly, Ning Shan and his brother sound like Teacher Chen's voice, but they don't feel like it, after all, the steady gentleman is so kind that Teacher Chen who makes him want to kowtow, and these words heard on the phone are too incompatible.

He was concerned about it, and when he thought of a man at home, he couldn't help but be scared and worried, so he called Chen Lou to confirm.

The first missed call in Chen Lou's hand was from an intermediary, the second was from Guan Yu, and the third was his. However, Chen Lou was upset, thinking that the intermediary was not reluctant, so he immediately sprayed it on the person.

When he scolded his mother, the people in the earpiece sighed.

The eldest brother of the Ning family said very helplessly: "Don't scold my mother, it's at my door." ”

Chen Lou: "......"

He was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the caller ID, the old man in his thirties had a rare red face, opened his mouth for a long time, and hung up the phone directly.

The Ning family has carefully educated Ning Xiaomei for more than ten years, and she has always followed the standards of ancient famous ladies, and if she is stricter, she will not smile toothlessly. It's just that he knows that his sister is also a little eccentric, but because of the family environment, she has been suppressed.

Sure enough, Ning Shan sighed after hearing what he said, and her focus was crooked: "Then how does Teacher Chen train people?" ”

Brother Ning corrected helplessly: "It's not about training, it's about scolding." ”

Ning Shan's curiosity was bursting, thinking of the few idioms she had said to Guan Yu that day, her admiration rose spontaneously, and she sighed: "It turns out that Teacher Chen is even good at this. She paused, thinking of Chen Lou's sentence "Academic exchanges, a little rusty," she couldn't help covering her mouth, and she couldn't hold back her laughter.

"Okay, don't pretend I heard everything," Brother Ning smiled, and asked again after a while, "What about our mother?" ”

"I haven't come back yet," Ning Shan said, "I called me that day to ask for money, saying that it was not enough over there, and I didn't say when I would come back." ”

"It's okay if you don't come back, just give her the money if you want it." The brother and sister were a little helpless when they said this, and they chatted a few more homely words before ending the call. Brother Ning booked the ticket the day after tomorrow, and arrived in C City early the next morning by car in the evening, Ning Shan was happy for a long time, and sent a text message to Chen Lou saying the specific time, and began to wait to clean up again.

――

After Chen Lou received Ning Shan's text message, he had mixed feelings, and his tone towards Guan Yu was much worse: "It's my business to rent a house, can you not mix up?!" ”

Guan Yu was also a little angry, he just called Chen Lou for the first time and was hung up directly by the other party, and the second time he was inexplicably reprimanded. Now that he finally got up to talk, the other party didn't give him a good face.

"Chen Lou, can you do it, I said the rent, I'll pay it! Let's have a master bedroom and a bedroom, why do you know people so badly! ”

"Heh, I also asked back," Chen Lou said: "Where are you a good person?" Haven't you always been wolf-hearted? ”

"......" Guan Yu.

Chen Lou hadn't scolded him so directly for a long time, and it felt really hard to explain.

Guan Yu said: "...... Just be my wolf's heart, okay, I won't fight with you. ”

Chen Lou: "......"

"I don't want anything else, you sleep in the master bedroom and I sleep in the second bedroom, and I can't do anything about the wall that is twenty centimeters apart. I'm just trying to get a good night's sleep. When he said this, he said earnestly: "And I beg you for this, you don't have to pay, and you don't have to worry about the water and electricity bills, isn't this a double win?" ”

"Hehehehe-" Chen Lou said, "No." ”

"Can't you help?"

"I can't help." Chen Lou refused simply, and he didn't eat it softly and hard.

"......" Guan Yu was silent for a while, and finally rubbed his hair and sighed: "Chen Lou, I really can't help it, I can't sleep well without being under the same roof with you." I know you're annoying me, can you find a stranger to share a house based on our relationship in the past few years? ”

"Don't look at the past love...... Chen Lou also sighed: "Have you come back with this brain?" Originally, I thought you were pitiful, but the more I thought about it, the more relieved I became. ”

Chen Lou sighed: "Love, it's all retribution." ”

When the two of them were together, Chen Lou had said all kinds of ugly things, but he didn't say this word, probably because he felt that Guan Yu's crimes were too numerous to mention, so the little setbacks and troubles he suffered were not enough to call it karma. Speaking out today, Chen Lou hung up the phone and smacked it, which was quite right.

It's just that this rental house really makes his head big, Chen Lou returned to his residence and reopened the page of the information, thought about it and added "convenient transportation," after all, there is a bus stop nearby, "the surrounding life is complete" - there is a mini vegetable market, "there are furniture and appliances" - there is an induction cooker in the kitchen, and "the property fee is free"......

"Hey Brother Chen, don't we have no property fees?" Daesung asked from behind.

Chen Lou used to close the door after going home, but later he saw that the whole house had his own air conditioner, and the others were indeed cold enough, so they simply turned on the air conditioner when they were fine, and the door was also open to run out of heat.

Chen Lou pulled two other sentences from the rental information of the high-end community he was looking at elsewhere, pasted them one by one, and turned around and smashed it according to Dacheng's brain: "Quietly!" Scare you to death Brother Chen! ”

Dacheng smiled and touched his head.

Chen Lou sighed: "Isn't there no property fee just don't have to pay, and it's not wrong to say that it's all free!" Besides, the garbage disposal fee of 3 cents per month is still paid by me, which is not written. ”

Dacheng was happy: "Brother Chen, you are really generous." ”

"Why are you here?" Chen Lou closed the page and looked back at him: "Something?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay," Dacheng laughed twice, "I'll just sit down." ”

He sat on the edge of the bed unnaturally for a while, and when he saw that Chen Lou really didn't ask anymore, he could only touch his head and explain his intentions: "Actually, isn't it Xiaohui's birthday in a few days?" Dacheng was a little embarrassed: "I want to surprise her, but I don't know how to do it." I did ask a few of my colleagues, but I didn't need any of them. ”

Chen Lou nodded and did not speak.

Dacheng rubbed his hands and said with a little embarrassment: "But I don't have much money in my hand, so I have to save things for the child......"

"Just say what you want to tell me." Chen Lou said.

“…… It's nothing," Dacheng said, "Brother Chen, didn't you work in a cake shop in the summer?" Will you still make cakes? ”

"I haven't worked in a cake shop to make cakes," Chen Lou sighed, raised his eyes and looked at him funny: "You say, what kind of one do you want." ”

After he finished speaking, he rummaged through a woven bag standing next to the bed, and sure enough, he turned out a small bag of things, which were tools he had bought when he used to work in a cake shop. It's just that I haven't used it since I bought it. Dacheng was overjoyed to flip through the pictures of the cake on his computer, and finally chose a cream cake with a whole body of pink and lace with the aesthetics of a straight man, pointed and asked, "Brother Chen, how about this?" ”

Chen Lou leaned over to take a look, pointed to a double-layered one next to him and said, "Let's still do this, I'll make you a fondant." ”

At this time, the fondant cake in City C had not yet risen, and Chen Lou just remembered a little step because he saw the owner of the cake shop at that time do it once. In his last life, it was also these few days, when he and Guan Yu just lived together, they learned that the latter was about to celebrate his birthday.

Guan Yu is particular about everything, he takes Chen Lou to eat French food, goes to a coffee shop when he drinks water, and goes to the swimming pool badminton hall when he is exercising.

At that time, the final exam was approaching, and the teachers began to considerately give everyone the key points of the exam, Guan Yu rarely went to school every day, so Chen Lou asked for leave and secretly prepared a lot. There were flowers, red wine, and a lot of balloons. When it came to the cake at the end, he had an idea and decided to make it himself.

He chose the fondant cake, which seemed quite compelling at the time, and finally chose a plan - four layers, three layers of light blue and one layer of dark blue, taking the meaning of 1314. It's just that the things he saw at that time were very limited, the materials were not memorized, the steps were vague, and it was also a loss that Guan Yu was not there during the day, so Chen Lou succeeded again and again.

At that time, they were too superficial, they didn't have a run-in with each other's personalities, and they were not familiar with their habits, so they hurriedly started a lifelong commitment. This journey has not been smooth, and now when I see others, I wish that others were happy in pairs, and that they would never suffer the sin of pulling skin and bones again.

Dacheng looked at Chen Lou's expression a little stunned, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Chen?" Is this material expensive? ”

Chen Lou came back to his senses and smiled, "It's not expensive, I'll give it to you." You two have to be good. ”

―

Xiaohui's birthday was still early, Chen Lou looked at the materials he needed, made a purchase list for himself, and went to the machine to withdraw a few hundred yuan. When I was ready to go out the next day, I unexpectedly received several calls to see the house.

The building number of this community has long been unclear, and Chen Lou can only go out to pick up people, and it will be delayed for two days. It's just that although the information he changed is gorgeous, the house is really average. After several batches of ushers, he was finally settled by a red-haired boy.

This boy is a student, and his classmates came out to rent, one room for one person is just right, and the money is very happy, but he said that he has a nervous breakdown, and he hopes that Chen Lou and the other family will have a regular schedule and rest, and will not return late to affect their rest.

Chen Lou got a lot of fire about this, and at this time he naturally agreed, signed a contract with someone, and carefully ordered the deposit a few times, and as soon as the person left, he was busy going online to delete the two pieces of information. After finishing it, I was refreshed, and I saw that it was still early, and finally pinched the purchase list and hummed all the way to the supermarket.

Chen Lou, who Ning Shan called, had just arrived at the door of the supermarket, he was stunned, and as soon as he connected it, he heard that Ning Shan over there was about to cry: "What should I do Teacher Chen!" I've locked myself out! ”

“…… Locked outside? It's called a lock-picking company? Chen Lou was stunned for a moment.

"But the pot at home is still boiling, so I'll come out and put something...... As soon as he turned around, the door was blown shut...... "Ning Shan was obviously in a hurry, and asked with a crying voice: "The lock-picking company said that it will take twenty-five minutes to come over from the traffic jam now, what should I do, what should I do, will there be an accident when the pot is boiled dry?" Who do I have to call, 110 or 120? ”

"......" Chen Lou held his mobile phone, looked up at the relocation house not far away, sighed and said: "Don't call, it is estimated that there is a traffic jam, is your neighbor at home?" ”

There was a knock on the door, and then Ning Shan hurriedly said, "I'm here, Auntie is at home!" ”

"Wait a minute, I'll be under you."

――

The house type of these two relocation houses is very poor, Chen Lou noticed it when he first came, the neighbor's kitchen and the small platform of Ning Shan's house are facing each other, and when he called that day, he owed it, and he also scolded the green onion leaves of the next door house exposed.

Chen Lou easily flipped to Ning Shan's side, scaring the two women who were watching the battle, one big and one small. Although it doesn't seem difficult, after all, it is more than ten stories high, and there is no protection on both sides, and Chen Lou doesn't even have to grab a guardrail.

When he successfully landed, Ning Shan didn't make a sound, and the neighbor's aunt cried excitedly.

Chen Lou was startled, and when he went to open the door, he was startled again when Ning Shan pounced and hugged his neck.

"Come down, I'm about to scare you both out of my heart attack," Chen Lou pushed her arm helplessly, turned around and wrinkled his nose and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Make soup and stew it for my brother." Ning Shan trotted to the kitchen, lifted the lid to take a look, and poked the chicken inside with chopsticks.

Chen Lou raised his eyebrows, only then did he find that there were a lot of things in the living room, there were a few more men's shoe boxes on the locker at the door, the signs were all high-end goods with a lot of price, there were a few financial magazines stacked on the coffee table in the living room, and there was an exotic lady's shawl on the sofa.

After Ning Shan finished reading the fire, she hurriedly ran out again, and took out two beautifully packaged boxes from the side and handed them to him.

"Teacher Chen, this is a gift from my brother, I originally planned to give it to you when you came to class, but I happened to meet it today, so let's take it together."

Chen Lou raised his hand, subconsciously wanting to refuse, but he was stunned for a moment when he saw the words on it.

――I wish Mr. Chen a smooth entrance examination and success in his studies.

The calligraphy is very artistic, vaguely like a smiling face, but I can't tell whether it is a smile or a mockery.

Chen Lou didn't know if Ning Shan and her brother had said anything about the oolong incident between the two of them last time, so he coughed lightly, took the two boxes and opened them to take a look.

Two boxes, the first one is a thing like a mobile phone, and there is a not-so-elaborate instruction manual on A4 paper on the side. Chen Lou looked at it carefully twice, and only then did he recognize that this was a set of virtual equipment for human anatomy, the electronic screen behind it was a miniature projector, and the two pens on the side seemed to be used for operation. There is no manufacturer on the manual, only a foreigner's signature......

He was stunned, and his heart was beating to his throat. However, when I opened the second one, my heart immediately fell back from my throat.

A book, the title of the book is "The Art of Scolding", and on the title page it is written: Salute to Mr. Chen.
