Chapter 31: The Gift
Qingyunli, a small secluded street south of the train station. When the streets around the train station were full of people shopping for New Year's goods, Qingyunli remained as secluded as ever.
At the southern end of Qingyunli, behind a row of tall French plane trees, there is a single courtyard with a vermilion iron gate, which is Lin Xinping's house.
Pushing open the vermilion iron door, Lin Xinping let Zhao Changfeng in.
Zhao Changfeng had long thought that Lin Xinping's family conditions might be good, but he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the situation in the yard.
The small courtyard is not large, about seventy or eighty square meters, and a winding cobblestone path passes through the middle, dividing the courtyard into two parts, north and south.
A small fish pond was dug on the north side of the small courtyard, in which seven or eight koi fish more than a foot long were raised, swimming in the water. Next to the fish pond, there are several trees, and the leaves have long since fallen away, leaving only bare branches. Zhao Changfeng only recognized one of them as a walnut tree, and as for the others, he didn't quite recognize them.
On the south side of the courtyard, a row of shelves was erected. The shelves are covered with black vines. Zhao Changfeng knew that these vines looked black and black, as if they had dried up and died, but as long as a spring rain came down in the spring of the following year, such dry vines would immediately spit out new shoots and cover the entire grape trellis tightly.
Under the grape trellis is a delicately patterned square stone table, around which are four round stone benches. Zhao Changfeng can imagine that in the middle of summer, when the scorching sky is in the sky, Lin Xinping's family can sit under the shade of the grape trellis, smell the green fragrance of the grapes, and enjoy the rare coolness. If you add a rocking chair and a fan, the feeling is simply refreshing.
At the end of the cobblestone path, stands a small brick and concrete building, three stories high, beautifully decorated, with a strong Western architectural style.
"Wow!" A large wolfdog with a black line on its back pounced from the small building. Zhao Changfeng was taken aback, he recognized this as the famous German black back, which was not only expensive, but also fierce and abnormal.
But the German blackback ignored Zhao Changfeng, and it happily pounced on Lin Xinping.
"Stinky Huanhuan, get out of here!" Lin Xinping scolded with a smile: "Stained my clothes!" ”
Huanhuan didn't listen to Lin Xinping's order, it raised its front paws, pounced on Lin Xinping, and licked Lin Xinping's face with its long tongue.
Lin Xinping's bright red down jacket suddenly appeared with several mud marks. While dodging Huanhuan's long tongue, she shouted desperately: "Grandpa, grandpa, take care of your Huanhuan!" ”
An old man appeared in front of the small building and shouted majestically: "Huanhuan, come back!" ”
Huanhuan whimpered reluctantly a few times and obediently slipped back to the old man.
"Pingping, you're back so soon? This must be Zhao Changfeng Zhao Benefactor, right? ”
"Yes, Grandpa."
The old man Lin Mantang took a few steps forward, grabbed Zhao Changfeng's hand, and said gratefully: "Benefactor, great benefactor." Changfeng, without you, I wouldn't be alive now! ”
"Uncle, don't say that!" Zhao Changfeng said with a smile: "What benefactor is not benefactor? I have the same blood type as my uncle, and this is also fate. I heard from the doctor that there are only two or three people of our blood type out of 10,000 people, and it is really not easy for me to meet the uncle. ”
Saying that, the old man Lin Mantang let Zhao Changfeng into the living room.
"Dongfeng, Juanzi, don't be busy with the two of you, just leave it to Zhang's mother. Come out and take a look, our great benefactor is here. Old man Lin Mantang shouted.
"Here we are, Dad!"
Lin Dongfeng and his wife answered and immediately came out of the kitchen. Originally, today's meal was prepared by the nanny Zhang's mother, but in order to show their sincerity, Lin Dongfeng and his wife specially wanted to show a few Russian dishes they learned in Suifenhe, so they also went to the kitchen to work.
When Lin Dongfeng and his wife saw Zhao Changfeng, they had to thank Zhao Changfeng for a thousand thanks, so that Zhao Changfeng was not embarrassed, and said that there was nothing.
Lin Dongfeng was already grateful to Zhao Changfeng for saving the old man's life, but at this time, seeing that Zhao Changfeng was not proud of his grace at all, he liked Zhao Changfeng more and more in his heart.
"Changfeng, come, see what I brought you!" Lin Dongfeng pulled out a large suitcase, took out a heavy wooden box from it and handed it to Zhao Changfeng.
Zhao Changfeng took it and took a look, the box maintained the true color of the log, there was no lacquer, just a hasty polish, touching the astringent hands.
When I opened the box, inside was a neat bag of linen in a neat primary color. Zhao Changfeng carefully uncovered the linen and found that it was a package of reddish-brown round slices, shiny and smooth to the touch, as if a thick brown candle was cut into slices, but it was much heavier, and there was a faint fishy smell when it smelled.
"Uncle Lin, what is this?" Zhao Changfeng asked curiously.
"Hehe, this is authentic Russian sika deer antler velvet, I went to Pogranich on the other side of the Suifen River to buy it." Lin Dongfeng said with a smile: "Sika deer antler velvet is a superior medicinal material for blood replenishment. Changfeng, last time you donated 600 milliliters of blood for my father, and your body suffered a lot. I bought these sika deer antler velvets to replenish your blood. ”
"Uncle Lin, this must be very expensive, right? Why am I embarrassed to accept it? Let's leave it to Grandpa Lin. Zhao Changfeng regretted it as soon as he resigned. The Lin family is so rich, and it is not bad to think about it, maybe Lin Dongfeng has already bought it for Lin Mantang. Although you don't need these antler velvets yourself, you can take them back to your parents to make up for your body.
Zhao Changfeng only knew that deer antler velvet was very expensive, but he didn't know that what Lin Dongfeng bought for him was the best deer antler velvet, which was called wax tablets according to the name in traditional Chinese medicine. The top of the medical codex: the top of the mushroom, the first layer of the free wax, the oil is as moist as fat, and the name is wax tablets; The secondary layer is white and yellow, and the pure blood is permeated in it, so the name is called the blood piece; The most sub-layer piece has honeycomb, the color is purple and black through the holes, the name is called the wind piece, the vulgar cloud wood is through, such as the empty pass of the wood. The most inferior bone is adjacent, similar to the same angle, called bone fragment, and the effect is the thinnest. This shows how precious wax tablets are.
"Changfeng, you can take it back and use it." Lin Dongfeng smiled, "My dad has something else I prepared." ”
Lin Mantang wanted to laugh and say, "Yes, Changfeng." Dongfeng has prepared several packs for me. ”
Zhao Changfeng pushed the boat smoothly and said: "Then, Grandpa Lin, Uncle Lin, I'm welcome." ”
"Hehe, what's the welcome!" Lin Dongfeng smiled and took out two more things, "Changfeng, I also prepared a gift for your parents, you go back and bring them to them." ”
"This is a Russian mink scarf, you take it back to keep your mother out of the cold." Lin Dongfeng stuffed the mink scarf to Lin Dongfang, and held up another thing, "This is a Russian-made razor, with strong horsepower, like a small lawnmower, any beard can be shaved clean, and the quality is very skinny, and it will not be bad for more than ten years." The only downside is that it's a little louder, and when you use it at night, people are likely to think you're driving a tractor! ”
