No. 241, laughing at the ridiculous people in the world!

"I've been pitted." This was Tang Chong's first reaction.
On Teacher Jiao's birthday, he didn't have any preparations, so he ran to eat with a big grin - did anyone who did this himself? This doesn't make sense.
After thinking about it, with Teacher Jiao Yuheng's temperament, it was impossible for him to inform him about his birthday in advance and let him prepare gifts. It's probably to say to Jiao Nanxin and let yourself come to the house for dinner.
However, so is Jiao Nanxin's woman. Teacher Jiao asked you to say that, so do you really say that? Not a single superfluous word? Not a single reminder?
If Jiao Nanxin was in front of him, Tang Chong really wanted to pull off his pants and beat her ass.
Of course, what Tang Zhong wants to do is what all the boys at NTU want to do.
In any case, they were classmates, comrades-in-arms - friends who fought each other. Moreover, she is her class leader, why didn't she think about pleasing herself? I really don't treat the squad leader as a cadre.
This woman is too unrighteous. Tang Zhong decided that in the future, she didn't want to call again to ask for leave when she was in class, and she would not approve it. If she didn't dare to come, she would go to the counselor to make a small report - let her fail the course, let her pay the money for her to make up the exam.
Wang Qikui's attitude caused his wife to laugh and said, "It's rare that you still remember." In the past, when I was studying at school, I could come here whenever I wanted, which was very convenient. Now that you're abroad, it's inconvenient for you to come over for a mealβ"
"My wife, this is criticizing me for not fulfilling my filial piety." Wang Qikui said sincerely: "I will definitely eat a few more dumplings in a while." β
A crowd laughed.
Jiao Yuheng beckoned a few people out to eat, Tang Zhong saw the cake on the coffee table, and wanted to strangle Jiao Nanxin, the woman, to death.
When he entered the door, he didn't see the cake on the coffee table. If he had seen it at that time, he would have known that someone had a birthday today. It's never too late to ask about the situation and go out and buy a gift and come back.
However, I stood stupidly in the study for a long time, until my wife came over to call for dinner, and I didn't know that Mr. Jiao had a birthday, so how could I go out again?
Where was the cake before? It must have been mentioned by Jiao Nanxin and hidden in the room.
Tang Zhong turned his face to look at Jiao Nanxin, who was helping to clean up the dishes and chopsticks in the restaurant, although she pretended to be expressionless, there was a smile in the corner of her eyes.
It's a small gesture of hers. Whenever they were debating, Jiao Nanxin would show such an expression if she was confident in her words or if she had secretly dug a hole for herself in her words.
Now, she must be very proud in her heart, right?
Tang Chong's face was ashamed, and he said embarrassedly: "I didn't expect that today is Teacher Jiao's birthday, and I didn't have time to prepare any giftsββ"
Even if you don't prepare a gift, you always have to express your heart.
Jiao Yuheng waved his hand and said, "What's your birthday?" Qikui has returned from abroad, and Dio has also arrived, asking you to come over and have a meal with the family. The old people are different from you young people, we have a birthday, it's one less one-"
"Phew, bah, bah." The master interrupted Teacher Jiao's words loudly and scolded: "You old man, what are you doing with these things? β
Then she looked at Tang Chong and said with a smile: "You teachers don't like to be public, they just want to have a meal with a quiet family." Don't think about gifts. My family doesn't like this. β
The two old men are very good people, and they are very, very good to Tang Chong.
"yes." Wang Qikui also said out loud. "Students don't have much money to spare, and young people have a lot of expenses, so it's better to keep this money for their own studies. The teacher doesn't care about this little bit - when he has a chance in the future, he will do his filial piety. β
Wang Qikui was ostensibly helping Tang to exonerate and explain, but in fact, he still meant to reprimand and educate.
However, with the previous lesson, Wang Qikui was much more cautious when he made another move.
He deliberately brought Jiao Yuheng with him, saying that he wouldn't fancy Tang Chong's little thing. If Tang Zhong refutes, does he want to prove that Mr. Jiao cares about this birthday gift very much?
Tang Zhong knew that Wang Qikui wanted to say that he had no money and no power now, he was a poor student, and even if he gave gifts, he couldn't give anything good. A cigarette, a bottle of wine or something, will Mr. Jiao Yuheng care?
He was so agitated, but it made Tang Chong think that he actually had something on him that could be used as a gift.
"Senior brother is not right to say that." Tang Zhong said with a smile. "Of course, I know that Mr. Jiao doesn't care about these things, and it's true that I'm a poor student can't give anything of value - but that doesn't excuse me from not being filial. Senior Brother Wang paid $3,000 an hour, which is to send $100,000,000, that's not much-"
Wang Qikui's face was slapped again.
Although he bought a lot of gifts, how could it be 100,000 million dollars? How many things do you have to buy?
"I'm a student. The pocket money of a few hundred yuan a month has to be sponsored by the family. "Just by Jiang Keqing's transfer to the Splendid Pavilion under his name, the assets will exceed Wang Qikui's by dozens or hundreds of times. The monthly dividends of the Splendid Pavilion are millions, but now it is said that there are only a few hundred yuan of pocket money every month. Tang Chong is shameless to the end. "If you want to give a gift, you have to do it yourself. One is to save money, and the other is to represent one's own heart. β
Tang Zhong took out a wood carving that was still warm from his arms, held it with both hands and handed it over, and said: "I wish the teacher happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan." β
Dean Jiao Yuheng does not worry about food or clothing, his children and grandchildren are filial, and his wife is virtuous, so there is really nothing missing. If you want to celebrate his birthday, you also wish him more and more longevity.
Jiao Yuheng squinted at the gadget that Tang Chong was holding in his hand, and asked with a smile, "What is this?" β
"Pot-bellied Buddha." Tang Zhong said. "This Buddha is carved by myself, from the beginning of the carving to the present, it took three months intermittently, and it was only completed two days ago, and I didn't have time to polish it well - now I give it to the teacher, hoping that the teacher's big belly can tolerate the intolerable things in the world, and he will laugh at the ridiculous people in the world when he opens his mouth."
The faces of the Wang family's father and son changed again. They all felt that Tang Chong's words were a little insinuating.
Who are the ridiculous people?
"Carved yourself?" Jiao Yuheng looked surprised, and took it over to take a closer look. The Buddha statue is slightly deep, with a faint fragrance, and the wood should be Hainan pineapple or Vietnamese pear. However, although they are all huanghuali, the former is countless times more precious than the latter.
According to Jiao Yuheng's knowledge, the wooden decoration of this Buddha statue is as beautiful as a grimace, and the fragrance is as elegant as rosin, which should belong to Hainan Yellow.
Look at this carving again, sparse and dense, the depth is appropriate, the heavy knife is used when the heavy knife is used, and the fine grinding should be done when it should be finely sharpened. Some people say that the pot-bellied Buddha is the most difficult Buddha to carve.
Why?
Because the whole body of the pot-bellied Buddha is sleek, and the tip of the knife is slightly slippery, this Buddha will appear angular. The angular pot-bellied Buddha is the flawed pot-bellied Buddha.
And the statue that Tang Zhong sent up was not sleek in any place, and there were no edges and corners. It can be seen that its knife work is exquisite, and it is not a child's plaything.
"Good. Good. Good. Jiao Nanxin shouted three good words in a row. Tang Chong, I didn't expect you to have such a good skill. It's a constant surprise. Your gift teacher can't put down, it's hard to give up. You send it, and I'll be cheeky enough to accept it. β
"If the teacher refuses, that's sad." Tang Zhong said with a smile. "I hope the teacher doesn't dislike the fact that the gift is worthless."
"You kid." My wife said lovingly. "This is carved out by you with a knife, and it took countless efforts to put in it. How can you say it's worthless? β
"Sycophants." Jiao Nanxin muttered quietly beside him.
Tang Zhong glanced at her with a smile and did not speak.
"Serve to dinner." Jiao Yuheng said. "I'll go and make offerings to this Buddha first."
After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the study. It can be seen that he is in love with Tang's gift.
"The old man." The master smiled and blamed. Then he pulled Wang Qikui and Tang Zhong to the table to eat. Several plates of dumplings were already on the table, as well as two stews and a few stir-fried dishes, and it looked like a very hearty dinner.
"It's rare for Qikui and Dio to come back. Tang Zhong is also there-let's have a few drinks. Jiao Yuheng said as he walked to the wine cabinet in the living room.
After speaking, he came over with a bottle of liquor.
"In foreign countries, I drink red wine, and I don't have any energy. Try the teacher's good wine today. Wang Qikui said with a smile. I have to say that there is indeed a reason why this person can get to such a status today, he has not come back for so many years, and as soon as he came back, he instantly integrated into Mr. Jiao's family, did not pretend, nor did he deliberately show his big-name identity, and still maintained his interaction with the Jiao family when he was studying.
For example, when his wife went into the study to invite him to eat just now, he immediately stood up and made a picture of being in a hurry to eat. Although it seems that he does not show enough respect for the teacher, he is also indirectly praising the dumplings made by the teacher's wife for being so delicious. After so many years, it's still unforgettable.
For Jiao Yuheng, when his wife is happy, he will be really happy.
Of course, this is only for the person he wants to please. For example, Tang Chong didn't think what he said was so kind and humorous that it was close to him.
"Grandpa, let me pour the bar. It is rare for me to return to China and give me a chance to fulfill my filial piety. Wang Diou said with a smile, took the wine bottle from Jiao Yuheng's hand and began to distribute wine to everyone.
This made Tang Chong secretly regret that he missed an opportunity to pat the teacher's ass.
"Yes, teacher. Let Dio pour the bar. Tang Zhong said with a smile. If I poured him a drink, he would be under pressure - his father should scold him when he went back. β
Wang Diou's hand shaking as he was pouring the wine, almost spilling the wine. This kid really regards him as his elder, can he not be angry?
"I'm under pressure? The pressure of the fart. Wang Diou thought. However, since he took over this job, no matter what Tang Zhong said, he could only do it hard.
Wang Qikui squinted his eyes and looked at Tang Chong, feeling very uncomfortable.
He is a world-recognized master of psychology, and his son was also cultivated by himself, and he was brought with him for travel research. Because he stands on the shoulders of giants, Wang Diou's progress is very fast. At a young age, he published a number of papers in professional journals in the United States, and won the "Progressive Youth Award" in the field of psychology.
His son has always been his pride. This time, taking him to his mentor is not without the meaning of showing off.
Unexpectedly, he was crushed by the teacher's new apprentice.
"No, I can't. Dio has to win. Wang Qikui thought. Otherwise, he would never want to surpass the mountain of Jiao Yuheng, and he would never be able to get rid of his shadow.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Wang Qikui said with a smile as if to adjust the atmosphere: "Nanxin, Dio, and Tang Zhong are all studying psychology, I will give the three of you a question to see how your arguments and arguments are." β
(PS: Some people say I haven't PS for a long time.) Then I'll just plead it. οΌh
