Chapter 397 Distant Guest (700 plus monthly pass)
The next day, Zhou Wanwan came back from eating the legendary very delicious sesame oil chicken with Shen Guodong, and her dormitory had changed greatly.
The ground was covered with an off-white carpet, which was soft and thick when stepped on, and Zhou Wanwan took two steps on it, quietly moved her toes, and narrowed her eyes in comfort.
Shen Guodong pretended not to see it, turned his face and laughed.
This time she doesn't have to wear slippers anymore, and she has no problem running around barefoot as much as she wants.
The whole door has been replaced with a new one, and the one that was kicked out of the crack yesterday is nowhere to be found, replaced by an iron security door, Zhou Wanwan took a closer look, and even the door frame was replaced with steel.
There is an anti-theft lock on the door, and there are two chain locks, Shen Guodong showed Zhou Wanwan how to use it, "If someone knocks on the door in the future, lock the chain lock first, and see who it is before letting him in." ”
Zhou Wanwan nodded, and then looked at the several layers of safety on the window, as well as the two new wardrobes in the bedroom, "You have a lot of clothes, how can one wardrobe be enough, it used to be ......"
Shen Guodong said that he suddenly paused, and then smiled, "Isn't Sister Ringing going to go with you to make skirts?" Why don't you wear new clothes? ”
After going to the Academy of Fine Arts, Zhou Wanwan's clothes became less and less, and basically Shi Yun or Zhou Chen only made one or two pieces for her, and they all looked very simple.
Fortunately, she is so beautiful, and she looks good in any clothes she wears.
There was a time when she forgot to change out of the overalls she wore in the studio several times and went to the cafeteria to eat, but she was stopped by the aunt in the cafeteria and had to take a good look at how the oil paint on her clothes was painted. How is it so good-looking.
Later, there were even people who specially learned from her and drew a few strokes on the labor cloth overalls, which became a trend that all boys and girls in the school had to catch up with.
But this girl who is always emulated in the center of everyone's conversation. It's been a long, long time since I've paid attention to what I'm going to wear.
The sofa in the living room has also been replaced with a wider and more comfortable one, there is also a set of vertical drying racks by the windowsill, and the bamboo pole and a messy rope on the window have disappeared.
Zhou Wanwan and Shen Guodong tried their best to pretend to be more natural, not to look at the embarrassing drying rack, but they both refused to stay in the living room longer, only glanced at it twice and went to the kitchen together.
The biggest change is in the kitchen, where cooking utensils, cutlery, spices, grains and oils are readily available. And there was an extra fridge.
Zhou Wanwan pointed to the refrigerator and felt funny, she had a refrigerator here that was idle, why did Shen Guodong get another one?
"One for you to fill fruit. One set of dishes, save the taste. Shen Guodong opened the door of the refrigerator, and inside one was the fruit he brought over yesterday, and a few more were added today. Neatly arranged. The colors are bright and full, which immediately attracted the interest of Zhou Wanwan.
There were some refrigerated hams and kimchi in one, "The vegetables have been left fresh for a long time, so I didn't buy them today." ”
Zhou Wanwan thought about it and felt that she still had to make it clear to Shen Guodong, "Brother Shen, you know, I ......"
"Doesn't Sister Bell come over often? She cooks very well. Shen Guodong paused. Tentatively discussed with Zhou Wanwan, "Xiao Er will come over to cook for you when he has time." You have your own home, and you will definitely not go to Xiao Er's every day in the future, and you can't always eat in the cafeteria. ”
In the end, Shen Guodong looked at the cabinet that had just been stuffed with a dazzling face by him and asked Zhou Wanwan in a low voice, "Can I also come over and cook for you?" As if he was afraid of being rejected by her, he quickly added, "I won't come often, just once in a while." ”
"Brother Shen......" Zhou Wanwan looked at Shen Guodong's almost frozen side face standing in front of the cupboard, no amount of reason could stop her from nodding heavily, "I want to eat dumplings stuffed with cabbage, don't put shiitake mushrooms, just pure cabbage." ”
Shen Guodong was like a prisoner waiting for the verdict, he was suddenly declared innocent, and there was a huge amount of compensation, the whole person instantly came alive, and he turned his head to look at Zhou Wanwan suddenly, with ecstatic light in his eyes.
"Shall I do it for you tomorrow at noon? Or do you want to eat it right now? I can do it now, I have everything at home, and I will have someone send a little cabbage immediately! ”
"Let's eat tomorrow night, I have classes in the afternoon, and the time is tight at noon." Zhou Wanwan lowered her head and walked out of the kitchen, not daring to look at Shen Guodong's eyes, "Brother Shen, you boil water, let's make tea and drink." ”
It's a pity that the next afternoon, Shen Guodong thought about the dumplings with cabbage stuffing that he had prepared all night, and before he could eat them in the evening, he was picked up by Grandpa Shen to meet the guests.
An old comrade-in-arms of Grandpa Shen in his early years was defeated during the Red Revolution, because most of his relatives were abroad, and he was nailed to the overseas relationship, and he had no chance to turn over.
After the Gang of Four was defeated, Grandpa Shen immediately began to preside over his rehabilitation work, so that the old general could be wronged. But neither physically nor mentally allowed him to continue working, so he had to take a back seat.
This time, he came to catch up with his old friend, and also to take his granddaughter who came from England to see him, so that his cousin, who majored in journalism and communication, could understand some of the current situation in China so that she could go back and prepare for her graduation thesis.
"Vitality and obsolescence coexist, development and lag coexist, our country is now like a T34 tank, as long as it is driven up, loaded with an 85 gun, it is no problem to fight his German Tiger! But it consumes a lot of fuel and always lies on its stomach, so it's not easy to drive! ”
As soon as Grandpa Shen and his old friend opened their mouths, they were a bunch of weapons, and people who didn't understand it couldn't understand it at all. Among them is the cousin granddaughter of General Donald.
"Third Grandpa, you and Grandpa Shen say something I can understand, I need some first-hand information, don't use metaphors. Or explain to me what the T34, the 85 gun and that Tiger are. ”
Tang Jingyun quickly recorded in the notebook, her brows were furrowed tightly, her facial features were three-dimensional and beautiful in combination with Chinese and Western, and now because of her serious investment, she added a beauty of wisdom, and the whole person looked vibrant and very attractive.
"If you don't understand, write it down, and let me tell you about it later, this little girl has listened to me nagging these things since she was a child, and she is a military expert."
Grandpa Shen took the cup handed over by Zhou Wanwan and smelled the fragrance, and motioned to Tang Jingyun, who had been taking notes, to also put down the notes and drink tea, "You grew up abroad, although you can speak Chinese, you drink foreign ink." If you want to understand China, you can't be in a hurry, you can first integrate into the Chinese life, and it will be easier to understand the country and its people later. ”
Tang Jingyun's mother is British, so although her father's family insisted on teaching her Chinese and read some Chinese books, they still know very little about Chinese living habits and traditional culture.
Tang Jingyun looked at the complicated tea set in Zhou Wanwan's hand suspiciously, she also drank tea in the UK, but the tea was filled with brown sugar cream, that is, her grandfather and father, and most of their living habits were Westernized, and she was only interested in making a cup of tea, and she had never seen Zhou Wanwan's complete tea art.
Zhou Wanwan used bamboo tweezers to hand a small purple sand scenting cup to Tang Jingyun, and then picked one up herself and gently put it in front of her nose to demonstrate.
"Miss Tang, in traditional Chinese culture, there has always been an emphasis on calmness and calmness, but you can experience it from the tea ceremony first. If we are interested, we can learn together in the future. ”
Tang Jingyun smelled the fragrance like Zhou Wanwan, and then looked at General Tang and Grandpa Shen with a smile, "Miss Zhou is really calm, implicit but not revealing." ”
The two old men laughed, and Grandpa Shen waved at the two of them, "Don't be polite when you come to Grandpa Shen, I have a lifelong friendship with your third grandfather, and you and Nan Nan don't see each other, what are you doing here?" If you are a few years older than her, you will be called by her name, and you will be called sister!"
Zhou Wanwan handed a cup of tea to Tang Jingyun, "Sister Tang, you are a distant guest, if there is anything I can do my best, you must not be polite to me." ”
Tang Jingjun took the tea, a little unaccustomed to the Chinese habit of calling the nickname when they first met, even if it was a world friend, it was too intimate. It had been less than half an hour since she met this Miss Zhou.
"Sister Tang, you can call me Wanwan." Zhou Wanwan smiled at her to relieve the siege, "The Chinese pay attention to local customs, just like we can't imagine ourselves doing your kiss and hug ceremony, this kind of name is just a etiquette habit, and it has little practical meaning." ”
"Wanwan, you are so different from other Chinese girls!" Tang Jingyun drank the tea in her hand in one gulp, "You are like the girl on the painting in my grandfather's study!" ”
"Is that girl's tea hard to drink?" Zhou Wanwan pointed to the empty teacup in Tang Jingyun's hand, "You frowned when you drank it?" ”
Tang Jingyun's brows furrowed even deeper, and she simply stopped wronging herself for the sake of politeness, "God! Give me a sugar cube! Or a chocolate cake! Anyway, let's do something to save my taste buds! This Chinese tea is too bitter! ”
Maybe Tang Jingyun's prayer God really heard, and Shen Guodong immediately came with his wrapped cabbage-stuffed dumplings.
"Mr. Shen, you are simply my knight!"
Tang Jingyun turned a blind eye to Shen Guodong's frowning brows, eating her "the best Chinese dumplings I have ever eaten", and her impression of Shen Guodong was very good! (To be continued.) )
