Chapter 89: Goodbye, Jingshi
That night, at the Pinjianglou Hotel, Zhang Jiamou held a banquet to entertain Wang Mengxiong and his family.
He didn't expect such a cute and intelligent child to be an orphan. However, looking at the so-called family brought by Wang Mengxiong, he felt that there were so many fathers, brothers, teachers and friends who loved him, but in fact, this child was not alone.
Du Xinwu, the hero of the north and south, Liu Tianyi, the divine doctor, Liu Yiqing, the boss of Yiqing Rong Baozhai, Jing Dingcheng, a professor at Peking University, Wan Laisheng, Guo Qifeng, although these people are of different ages and have different occupations, but the kind of love for Wang Mengxiong from the bottom of their bones can be seen even by outsiders who have a relationship with Zhang Jiamou.
"Wang Fan, this child, although he is an orphan, is much happier than other children!"
Zhang Jiamou sighed sincerely, and then picked up the wine glass, centered on Du Xinwu, and toasted one by one. After a few rounds, the guests and hosts are happy and satisfied.
The weather is getting warmer, and there are very few northwesterly winds that used to be as cold as knives. The occasional southeast wind blows, as if bringing a message of spring from the horizon. The snow in the yard had almost melted, and occasionally children in cotton shoes stepped on curiously, making a chirping sound and scolding adults.
No. 6 Sauce House Compound on Xizhimen Street in Beijing has gradually become lively, not only the little monkeys who have been locked up at home for a winter, but also some admiring visitors. In previous years, most of these guests came to visit Du Xinwu, the hero of the north and south, but this year is different from previous years, most of these guests are visiting Du Xinwu's little apprentice Wang Fan.
Sending off the last visitor back, looking at the pile of gifts piled up in the room, Wang Mengxiong was a little worried. "So many things, how to bring them back to Shanghai!"
"What? Too much stuff? If you don't think it's easy to bring, why don't you give it to me and you, Master Liu? ”
Looking at the worried look on his beloved disciple who closed the door, Du Xinwu suddenly realized that this was still a seven or eight-year-old child while he was relieved. It's not good for children to be too old, and they lose their innocence and childlike fun, and they lose a lot of happiness. In order to keep this apprentice from getting old and decrepit, he couldn't help but tease.
Wang Mengxiong raised his head and glanced at Du Xinwu, and said weakly: "Master, don't make jokes about your disciples." Leave it to you? Is this empty bamboo toy that you can use, or can this paper kite run out and play with it? ”
Liu Tianyi snorted and looked at Du Xinwu and said: "Otherwise, I have done a few more golden needles recently, hurry up and heal your injuries, and when Wang Fan is gone, lead you out to shake the empty bamboo and release the paper kite, so as not to be embarrassed!" ”
Du Xinwu's face turned red, and he feigned anger and said: "Senior Brother Tianyi, I'm just joking, don't laugh at the senior brother for the old disrespect." Besides, Wang Fan is about to return to Shanghai, whether it is by car or boat, how can you let him take a child with so many things? ”
"Isn't there still Professor Jing?" Doctor Liu said deliberately.
"Professor Jing? Don't look at him as a university professor, he may not be as useful as my apprentice. If you do it, ten professors are not as good as my apprentice! Talking about his own closed disciples, Du Xinwu's words were full of pride. He is a typical psychology of only allowing state officials to set fires and not allowing the people to light lamps. "My apprentice, I'll say it's okay, if someone else says it's not good, whoever says it's in a hurry!"
The two masters raised the bar to each other here, and as apprentices, Wang Mengxiong was not easy to intervene, and he didn't please anyone who offended, so he simply pretended not to hear and continued to ponder the whereabouts of these gifts.
"I wanted to leave all these things with the master, but if I went back empty-handed like this, and Gu Chuanqi's girl knew about it, I wouldn't have to go crazy? That girl is usually half-crazy, if she is all crazy, the entire Gu family class will not be able to stop her, and the big world will have to be demolished by her, right? ”
Thinking of this, Wang Mengxiong shivered all over his body, and hurriedly emptied this terrifying side in his mind.
"Alas, if this is an era when SF, Fangtong, and Jingbei Logistics are full of express delivery, you don't have to worry about it! Fortunately, although there are no such courier companies in this era, there are still post offices for mailing items, but you have to endure a long wait, and you have to be mentally prepared for individual packages to disappear. ”
Although the parting is extremely reluctant and there are countless reasons for reluctance, this day will still come as promised. Du Xinwu, who had not been out for a long time, accompanied by two apprentices, sent Jing Dingcheng and Wang Mengxiong to the train station together. In order not to disappoint Gu Chuanqi, Wang Mengxiong carried a lot of luggage with him as much as possible. Fortunately, Wan Laisheng and Guo Qifeng helped to send them to the train in advance, so that they would not become humanoid porters.
"Apprentice, your Master Liu Tianyi and Uncle Liu can't stand the pain of parting, so they entrust me to send you to the station, so they won't come to say goodbye. When you go back, don't forget to practice the skills taught by Master, and remember to write back when you have time to report your safety! ”
Du Xinwu usually doesn't talk much, but at this time, he chatters endlessly, just like an ordinary chattering parent, who has to tell every child when he wants to fly away. Until the train started, it made a whining sound, and Wu waved his arms to Wang Mengxiong, who poked his head out.
"Master, isn't it? Don't you still have to go to Shanghai to participate in the National Arts Exchange Conference in a few days, and you can see your little junior brother again in half a month, how can you make it look like you are parting with life and death! ”
Wan Laisheng couldn't help but say when he saw the master's red eyes and reluctant look.
"Shut up, how can you talk to Master? No big, no small! Du Xinwu was exposed by the apprentice, his old face turned red, and he put on the master's stand and reprimanded. I didn't let you talk to Wang Fan, just to surprise him. Otherwise, I will send it to the station, it will not be uncomfortable at all, just the smart energy of your little junior brother, you will definitely be able to see that something is wrong, what surprises will there be at that time? ”
Guo Qifeng watched his senior brother being trained, and his mouth was closed tightly in fright, for fear that his master's temper would transfer to him. How do you know that after Du Xinwu finished speaking, the brick saw Guo Qifeng's appearance, and seemed to have found a new target. "Look at you, you look stupid, if you have half of your little brother Wang Fan's cleverness, why don't you make any progress in kung fu practice. After I go back, I will practice for 2 hours a day! ”
"Yes, Master."
"Master, the train is gone, let's go back, Uncle Tianyi is still waiting at home to give you acupuncture!"
The people who saw off the people on the platform had already left, only the three masters and apprentices remained, and the staff of the train station in the distance, looking at the three people who refused to leave for a long time, constantly blowing whistles and waving to drive them away.
"Alas, when people grow old, their hearts become soft. Forget it, go back, let's go home too! ”
