After the final exam, Carlos was soon packed into Professor Zhou's courtyard to live temporarily, and since then he has left the second dimension for a while, and started the desperate mode of practicing big characters, and Gu Sen, a good student who accompanies him, still has a job in his hand, and he can't get to Beijing until the twenty-sixth day of the lunar calendar.

There are only two husbands and wives in the courtyard, and the couple has a son in his 40s, who is a famous performer, and the daughter-in-law who married is also a well-known soprano who grew up together.

Because the father-in-law and mother-in-law moved to Singapore in the early years, Professor Zhou and his wife are also very enlightened parents, and they occupy other people's daughters all year round.

They themselves are happy to meet and play with old friends in Beijing.

During the Spring Festival this year, Carlos's arrival added a lot to Professor Zhou's family, he looked handsome, had a sweet mouth, and most importantly, he was patient, willing to accompany the old man to go shopping and chat, and he could say a thing or two about various small topics in life.

When he accompanied Mrs. Zhou to the market to buy vegetables, Carlos relied on the quality appraisal that came with the system to help his wife pick a whole basket of excellent and outstanding quality ingredients, which stunned the aunts and aunts who had been watching by their side.

This young man of mixed foreign blood is more down-to-earth! The eye strength is very good!

In addition, he habitually pretends to be clever in front of his elders, and things are no more than his master's hands, bloody fish pieces, he mentioned! A big bag of soggy greens, he mentioned! A big piece of pig's trotters, he mentioned! Don't take the money from your wife, he will give it! If the name is the food expenses for temporary residence, I have never heard of the sweet mouth along the way, which coaxed Mrs. Zhou to smile.

"Yo, Lao Zhou's family, where did you find this young man! It's so handsome! That's good! ”

"Not really! When the old man brought people back, I thought it was a star who came, this is his new student, who came back from the United States to learn Chinese painting! ”

Accepting the envious eyes from all directions, Carlos's wife is also full of red light, don't you see that the market is full of aunts and old people? The children who were dragged in by their parents were all crying and covering their noses and tiptoeing, eager to shake off the hands held by their mothers and run wildly!

The market stinks! The water on the ground is so dirty! I'll never go out with my mom again!

Carlos's cunning stood out from the crowd, even though he was carrying fruits and vegetables in cheap plastic bags in both hands, but it did not diminish his grace in the slightest, and he only looked at his handsome face full of smiles, and thought that he was in some high-end drinking party rather than a noisy vegetable market.

It's pleasing to the eye. The aunt who sold vegetables was obviously a fan of Carlos's Yan Quan, and she grabbed a large handful of greens and stuffed them into the bag he had already checked.

"Now there are not many young people who are willing to accompany the old man to buy vegetables, the young man is so filial, give you more money, don't charge money!"

"Thank you, big sister!"

Carlos gave a warm and hearty smile, he has long been used to brushing his face, and he is simply familiar with the buy one get one free.

The sitcom spread from the vegetable stall to the butcher shop and the fish shop, and Mrs. Zhou enthusiastically hooked Carlos's arm, boasting at everyone, no matter how thick-skinned the pineapple general attack was, it was a little irresistible, and her face was as red as a ripe apple.

Sure enough, the child who is easy to be shy is simple, and in this way, he has gained the mother and grandmother fans of the entire community.

There was no secret in the neighborhood at all, and it only took one afternoon for the good reputation of the newly accepted mixed-race students of the old Zhou family to be filial, sweet-mouthed, and good-looking. It just so happened that most of their old artists lived in this old community, and they knew that the baby eggs held by the old Zhou family in the palm of their hands and hung on their mouths were going to spend the Spring Festival in the courtyard, so everyone invariably lifted the bird cage and rushed to his house with a cigarette gun in their mouths.

Before he knew that he would have to face all kinds of powers in the art world as soon as he got home, Carlos was still waiting for the bus with his wife at the bus station.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the streets are denser with pedestrians than usual, and there are many people who choose to travel by bus. Finally waited for the bus to enter the station, Carlos carried more than 20 catties of ingredients in one hand and protected his wife with the other, but fortunately there was an enthusiastic girl on the bus to help.

"Take care to keep the carriage clean and take care of your belongings—"

Under the background sound of the driver's kind reminder, Carlos had the opportunity to thank the girl who gave up her seat after the placement of the teacher's wife.

At this time, I found out that the other party was a peerless mixed-race beautiful man, and the little girl immediately blushed, but she still gave up generously, and said in a crisp voice No thanks. The generous and decent answer makes people feel good.

So in the process of moving forward lightly, his wife talked to the little girl, how old she was, where she studied, what hobbies she had, etc., and the old and young talked very harmoniously.

When the car drove to a bend, due to the tail flicking action is a bit big, the passengers standing densely on the car are all to the right, and those who grab the railing and the hand ring can also roughly stabilize their body, and the height is not up to the top of the head, and the little girl who is surrounded in the center, and her hands can't touch the railing at all is a tragedy.

In order not to press on the old man, she could only fall to the other side by herself, only hoping that someone would make a wall mat and not fall directly.

Carlos, who was standing next to the little girl, saw this and immediately reached out and pulled the person into his arms.

"Grab my clothes."

"Huh? No, no! ”

It seems to be a particularly shy girl, and when she sees that she is really dead, she doesn't catch it, and her body sways with the bus, and she always feels like she will fall down in the next second. No, Carlos had to switch positions with the other party, letting the little girl hold on to the railing, while he himself stood in the center and grabbed her unreachable hand.

The red light came on, the bus stopped at the intersection, and the people who had finally managed to balance from the shaking breathed a sigh of relief, and the chatter in the carriage continued, and Carlos stared through the window at the red-decorated shops on the side of the road.

Spring Festival is an extremely important day for Chinese, and people from all over the world will return to their hometowns to reunite with their loved ones as much as possible, review the major events of the past year and hope for a smooth year ahead.

For him, who is alone and homeless, it makes no difference where he spends the Spring Festival. Although he is so open-minded, he still feels unwilling for his man. Although he was very happy to be with Gu Sen during the Spring Festival, what he heard from his mentor made him feel congested and sad.

When the old man of the Gu family was still there, Gu Sen spent the Spring Festival with him in the countryside every year, and his parents would take his eldest brother and third brother to stay for two days, and return to the city when the time came. I don't pay much attention to my second son at all, I love to continue to stay in the countryside, I don't like to stay, he will come back by himself, anyway, there is not much more of him in the family, and it's okay to have less of him.

Before the old man of the Gu family left, he specially asked Gu Sen to his old friend, and said plainly, the child's parents are unreliable, and Gu Sen's temperament is as stubborn as a stone, don't let him go back and be wronged. So after becoming an adult, Gu Sen either spent the Spring Festival at Professor Zhou's house, or followed Yang Batian and them out to wave.

This kind of homelessness is much more bleak than homelessness.

But it's a perfect match, isn't it? Thinking so, the corners of Carlos's mouth also hooked.

After recovering from his daze, Carlos realized that the old and young in front of him stopped chatting, but looked behind him with a stern expression.

Well? What's behind it?

He looked back a little, it was still densely crowded, and when he was about to turn around and ask the young couple, he realized that something was wrong.

A tall and thin middle-aged man with a dignified expression, his eyes are looking straight ahead with a particularly decent look, his body is swaying with the bus, and he is very cooperative to touch the person in front of him, because the lane is more congested, the driver drives like squeezing toothpaste, driving a few meters on the brakes, repeatedly, the people standing on the car are very accustomed to bear the collision from behind.

However, this middle-aged man was obviously not a simple passenger, and he saw his right hand carefully poking into the lady's bag carried by the person in front of him, gently pinching out several red envelopes with two fingers, and then quickly rolled them into his sleeve. Quietly wait for the second brake and continue to clamp the second round.

The New Year is approaching, not only are there more people on the streets, but thieves and pickpockets who take advantage of the fire to rob are also ushering in the peak period of operation and the golden week of the industry.

No wonder the expressions of the old and young were so strict.

"There's—"

At the moment when the little girl's first voice was uttered, Carlos reached out to cover her mouth, and glared at Carlos with a pair of big eyes full of gunpowder. The latter shook his head, handed the ingredients he was carrying to his wife, hugged them, and pushed the little girl towards her.

Just kidding, what kind of fun are you a high school girl, pickpockets and thieves are all professionals, maybe you have the legendary finger knife in your hand, a blade cut, how dangerous.

After making sure that the little girl would not startle the snake, Carlos opened the system map, stared at the movements of the pickpocket behind him, and after he clamped the red envelope with his fingers, he said that it was too late and that was fast, his right hand instantly buckled back, clamping the opponent's wrist, with Carlos turning around, the right hand skillfully twisted the pickpocket's entire arm back and back, and the left hand quickly grabbed the neck and pressed the person to the ground, and one knee knelt on the man's waist, making people unable to move.

It seems to take a long time to say, but in fact, the whole action is connected, and Carlos only takes three seconds.

Carlos's movements were silent, but the range of movements was not small, and seeing that the man who was held by him was still holding a few red envelopes between his fingers, the people around him also understood that this was catching a thief!

The owner of the lady's bag was also attracted back by the commotion behind her, and it was only then that she realized that she had been robbed.

"There are pickpockets!"

"Yikes! My wallet is gone! ”

"My phone is gone!"

"Well caught! Master! Go to the police station! it! Those who steal during the Spring Festival should be sent to be shot! How many people who work in other places have their wages stolen for a whole year, and what do the elderly and children in the countryside eat? The conscience was eaten by dogs! ”

A sitting white-haired old man was so excited that he kept stabbing the thief who was pressed to Carlos' knees with his cane, and his mention was passed by all the passengers of the bus, and the driver's eldest brother drove the bus directly to the nearby police station.

After everyone got back the stolen things, they all praised Carlos before leaving, and when the passengers were almost gone, the driver's uncle came over with a look of emotion.

"Thank you so much this time, this person is a gang of pickpockets in the vicinity, they are all familiar, and this time I finally caught someone."

"Master! Now that you know this man is a thief, why don't you tell him! ”

After Carlos followed the police who handled the case to take notes, the little girl had been helping to carry the ingredients and follow the master and wife of the pineapple general attack, and when she heard the driver's words, she spoke in disbelief.

"I'm ashamed, I've been driving this route, it's too easy for them to retaliate against me, besides, they have several routes that commit crimes from time to time, slippery like loaches, and it is difficult for plainclothes to catch them red-handed. So every time I see them getting on the bus, I verbally inform the passengers to take care of their belongings. I can't say enough ......."

No wonder there are bus broadcasts, but the drivers still repeat the broadcast once! It turned out that a thief was found in the car!

After thanking Carlos again, the bus driver left.

"Well done!"

Carlos smiled at the thumbs up from his wife and took back the shopping bag from the little girl's hand.

"Be brave and brave, be clear-minded, my wife, and praise me more when you see the teacher! It's best to let him exempt me from tonight's five Analects, and after copying it for three nights, his hand will be broken! ”

Seeing Carlos's serious expression, she could only laugh and pat him on the shoulder.

It happened that the courtyard was not far from the police station, and the two of them planned to walk back like this, but the little girl's destination was still four stops away from the bus, so the three of them planned to separate here.

"Because I don't know if the other party has a weapon on him, if he pushes someone to be in a hurry, I was afraid that he would burst out and hurt people, so I was sorry just now. And righteousness and courage have to be based on reality, if a good thing is not done, it hurts yourself, so it's not worth it. I've been boxing for a few years, so I have the confidence to go head-to-head with a thief, and in that case, you have to make sure you're safe first. ”

Carlos also bothered to persuade the hot-blooded girl in front of him, but he was destined to do useless, because the fanatical adoration in the little girl's eyes had not faded since he had subdued the thief.

In her sight, she only saw the new male god facing her with a gentle face, her perfectly sexy lips constantly opening and closing, her voice was too tempting, and the words she said were as melodic as a foreign song. As for what the lyrics were, she didn't pay attention to them at all!

Seeing that the other party had been looking at him in a daze, Carlos was also drunk, he lifted the shopping bag, said goodbye to the little girl, and pulled his wife to the courtyard.

"Poof—this little girl is so funny, she's still in a daze. I'm still in my third year of high school, two years younger than you, why don't you consider taking a look? I think she's pretty good. I got her phone number. ”

Speechlessly, he looked at the master who turned back in three steps, when was this phone number exchanged? Why did he not know at all!

Carlos thought to himself, if Gu Sen knew that his wife was so enthusiastic about introducing his daughter-in-law to someone, I don't know if he would cry aggrieved and say that he would treat him like an old man?

"What? Don't like Chinese girls? The Chinese girl is good, docile, polite, and reserved. ”

No, what he likes is Chinese men, especially those who are taller than him, stronger than him, have abdominal muscles, and will be sullen, such as Gu Sen. However, this can't be said, for fear of scaring his wife.

"My sister is a Chinese girl, and she is in high school this year, so she is very skinny. The words lady and lady have nothing to do with her at all, and she doesn't know how to cook. ”

In order to divert his wife's attention, Carlos decided to sell his sister.

Sure enough, for the traditional woman's wife, the girl's inability to cook seemed to hit her the hardest, and she opened her mouth slightly.

"I can't cook, how will I get married in the future?"

Carlos shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly.

"She means either marry a man who can cook, or marry someone who can afford to hire a cook."

Mrs. Zhou's eyes were stained with a smile.

"This girl has an idea."

Seeing that his wife seemed to be interested in He Manting, Carlos also did what he liked, selling his sister very easily, and described in detail the interesting things that happened in the United States and the embarrassing things that happened after returning to China. Mrs. Zhou is also half a literary artist, knowing that He Man's father is a professor at Peking University, and going back to the previous generation, Mrs. Zhou laughed and clapped her hands.

"Yo, this fate is really unstoppable, isn't this the granddaughter of the Lao He family? Lao He is still a classmate of the old man in our family, but after their whole family moved to Shanghai, there is a lot less contact, and I have time to bring your sister over to play, ah? ”

Nodding in response, the two continued to talk and laugh, and after a while they returned to the front of the courtyard, the outer gate was wide open, exaggerated laughter and noisy conversation, and there was some babbling opera tone. Carlos looked at his wife suspiciously, it seemed that his teacher was the only one at home when he went out, right?

"Yo, this is the door, it's Lao Wang's "Fighting the Dragon Robe", go, go in and listen to the music, free master class!"

So Carlos carried several bags of things, and was hooked by his arm by his excited wife and walked to the courtyard.
