Volume 1: You Only Have to Meet Once in a Life Chapter 29: The Little Shop Reminisces
Qin Xin listened crampedly, afraid that Tie Ming would understand what his father meant, and didn't want to lose face in front of him, so she shook her father's arm and told him to stop talking.
Tie Ming understands that the "duck eggs" that Dalin said are zero eggs, and the "singles" are single digits, as for what the hell is this "flatbread fritters", oh! It's 100 points, and it's a big mouth. At the end of the term, "duck egg single", dare to say that she graduated and took "flatbread fritters", which really convinced her. Qin Xin looked at Tie Ming's relatives as if she was laughing at herself, and said to her father unhappily:
"Oh, Dad, when did my daughter come back with 'duck eggs', there are still points, and what you said is just that! Why do you always remember this, every time you turn it out and expose the ugliness, I have also taken the top ten in the class, you don't remember. ”
Qin Xin pouted again, Da Lin laughed so much that his eyes were gone, and he quickly reached out to hug his daughter and coaxed her to say:
"Yes, yes, look at Dad's memory, how can Dad forget his daughter's 'glorious history', my daughter is the smartest, the most beautiful, and the most well-behaved."
Qin Xin nodded her head with satisfaction when she heard her father praise herself, nodded three times in a row, and was a little embarrassed, she unconsciously put her knees together, covered her knees with her hands, and lowered her head to her eyes, she really looked like a good student, so she almost wore a little red flower.
Tie Ming watched coldly from the sidelines, unable to tell whether the two fathers and daughters were telling the truth or telling him stories. According to her own tutoring of Qinxin's homework, Qinxin's homework is really good, she has a few questions to do, she has to teach her to do it, she has to take a break for ten minutes to make a question, and sometimes "bargain", slowly polish all the time, and only choose simple topics to do.
After Dalin finished explaining, he said goodbye and left the small western-style building, and stayed to do his homework. The scene of the two of them studying together under the lamp is reflected in the window, the shadows of the trees outside the window are swaying, and the bright moon is faint, which is a special interest. Leave it at ease.
In the Xinxin Department Store, the old lady and the young lady walked back and forth gracefully. The models in the window changed into mink coats and cowhide boots, and the styles were all imitations of the West, which was very fashionable and novel.
"Dalin, do you think I look good in this?"
Manti grabbed Dalin and pointed to one of the small silver sable capes in the window. Dalin stopped, put his thumb and forefinger on his chin, looked at the dress, and replied:
"Well, this one, it's good."
The shopping mall lady saw that they were pointing to their clothes outside, and had a little intention of buying them, so she hurriedly ran out and welcomed them in to look inside, Manti looked down at her, and pointed to the small silver mouse mink cape and said:
"Miss, introduce me to this dress."
"Mrs. has good eyesight, this is just arrived in our store, mink fur is still from the Northeast, genuine, cold-resistant and frost-resistant, the fur collar is made of mink armpit hair, but it can be fine and soft, the sleeve is full of a handful of real hair on the mink's back, and three minks are used in just one sleeve."
Manti listened very satisfied, and saw a broad lady on the other side wearing a mink looking at the jewelry, and asked the clerk to take out the clothes and try them on.
"Okay, ma'am, you'll be there."
Dalin smiled and said to Manti:
"This little girl is a little interesting, maybe it's half of your little fellow!"
Manti pushed her and said unhappily:
"I just need clothes, I don't care if she's a fellow or not."
The clerk brought the clothes and helped Manti put them on and straighten the collar. Manti stretched out his hand, turned around to show Da Lin, lowered his right shoulder slightly, bowed his head on his knees, and said:
"Say hello to the master."
Dalin sat on the sofa, wiped his nose, laughed and said:
"Okay, I bought it."
"Thank you, Master."
The two of them bought this small silver rat mink cape. Manti happily dragged Dalin to the jewelry store opposite, where a Mrs. Kuo was also picking out jewelry. Manti looked at the dazzling array of jewelry in the cupboard, and the dazzling light intoxicated her. There are so many delicate and unique jewelry, you can't take your eyes off it when you see it.
Manti already has a box full of jewelry, jade, pearl, jade, diamond, agate, almost all kinds of jewelry she has, and she is not enough.
The clerk looked at them with her innumerable eyes, and at first glance they were rich and noble, and hurriedly brought out a small tray covered with blue velvet and white mink fur for Manti, and said with a smile on her face:
"Madame, you pick and put them all in this small tray, which is more clear than looking at them."
Da Lin was not interested in jewelry, it was all Manti who picked it up, he yawned, and then he paid the bill together and left, this time he was interested, and asked the young female clerk and said:
"Everyone loves Shanghai's jewelry, that is, it loves its novel style, but in fact, Shanghai's jewelry is not Shanghai's - the color of this jade is really good."
The female clerk hurriedly took out a piece of white jade pointed out by Dalin and showed it to him, and put on a smile:
"Master, what you said is true, Shanghai is like you, there are too many rich old men, good things are running here, just say that this piece of jade you fancy is made in Myanmar, the big ship is transported over, processed and polished, wait in this small cupboard, wait for the lord to wear it."
Dalin couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and waved his hand:
"Okay, buy it—Manti, what did you pick and end it together."
Dalin said, turning his head to see that the man next to him was like a fairy descending to earth, shining all over, pearls, diamonds, and jade were worn by her with a full head and a neck, and ten fingers were covered with rings, and when she stood in the light, a dazzling light emanated from her.
Dalin was stunned and embarrassed, and couldn't figure out how much she liked these jewelry, like a country girl who had never seen the world. Manti himself felt embarrassed, so he quickly took them all off and put them back in the small tray, which immediately piled up a mountain. Dalin asked her:
"Do you like all of these?"
Mandy nodded slightly, but said:
"If you don't buy it, you already have a lot of it at home."
"Buy as much as you like, it doesn't matter how much you buy."
Dalin generously took out the check, asked the female clerk to calculate the price and write down the number, and asked her to go to the bank to get it then, the female clerk smiled like a sunflower bursting in the sun, and her facial features became vivid, she helped Manti wrap the jewels and send them away slowly.
"Dalin, thank you, I bought me that one today, and I wear a new one for you every day!"
"You wear it for fun, do you still like these styles?"
"Yes, of course I do."
"Okay, you can draw all your jewelry for me in the next few days, and then design some of the styles you want for me"
"What? It's good for the masters to do it, where do I understand this. ”
"Those old antique brains are rusty, you can only like the style."
Manti wondered if Dalin wanted to do jewelry business, so he asked him if he was, but Dalin said:
"You don't care, you can do whatever you want, I can't lose you."
Manti looked at the new bracelet in his hand, and said:
"Of course I don't want to care, I eat and dress well every day, why do I spend so much spare time to help you take care of your business. You're not—where you can use me, ask me to draw those drawings, and design patterns, I'm idle. ”
Dalin people looked back and looked at her, I didn't expect her to say such a thing, thinking that she would only draw eyebrows and eyes, dress and wear jewelry, it turns out that she also knows how to do business, interesting, don't talk about confidential things, it's okay to listen to her opinions on such trivial things! Dalin took Manti and said with a smile:
"Manti, you're very useful, don't lose your face, let's go, let's eat first."
Manti smiled reluctantly, the two got into the car together, and Dalin drove to a small alley. The houses here are low, the aisles are cramped, and there are bricks, linoleum and other materials piled up on both sides, and the fallen leaves are scattered all over the ground, mixed with rain and yellow mud, which looks extremely sloppy.
"Da Lin, what kind of place is this, what are we doing here? It's dirty. ”
"What dirty, don't say that about the place to eat, come, let's walk over."
"I don't want to go, where is this like a place to eat? Why don't you go to the 'Red House Restaurant' that we usually go to? The steak is so delicious, I want to order a violin and eat it while listening! ”
Dalin got impatient and said:
"Are you going or not? Can you eat enough Western food and music? This kind of small restaurant in the alley is the real place to eat. Dalin said, pointed forward again, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat the best food in the world, it's the best food I've eaten when I first arrived in Shanghai." ”
Manti still looked unwilling, such a dirty little alley, people are not in the mood to eat at all, and thought that Dalin was going to take himself to a newly opened restaurant to eat, it turned out to be such a small place, so dirty, so broken, so bad, it was a slum! Thinking about his background, it's not good, he came to Shanghai to work hard and make a name for himself, and he also took himself to recall his history, and he couldn't forget his poor background, and he was afraid that others wouldn't know how he suffered, which was really ridiculous.
This kind of rich and powerful old man also has such a tender and nostalgic time, alas! I should accompany him to experience the life of ordinary people.
Middle-aged and prominent men, not inheriting the inheritance of their fathers, but wandering alone in the big city, step by step from the stunned youth, working hard to a high place, some even above 10,000 people, the only place will be nostalgic for the past. When I was young, the hardships I had endured, the sweat I had flowed, the tears and blood I had shed have become a valuable asset, a memory that brings tears to my eyes when I look back.
No matter how deceitful they are in the business field, how drunk they are in the party, when they return to the starting point of life, they are happy to throw themselves into their mother's arms like children. They always want to bring the people around them to reminisce and quietly tell about this passionate time.
Qin Xin once came to Da Lin once, she liked the authentic Shanghai three fresh little chaos in this alley, the little chaos that was only pinched out by the old aunt in Shanghai with a unique taste in the alley, not to mention how delicate it is, it is that taste, which makes people deeply fascinated.
Da Lin watched with satisfaction as Qin Xin ate the little chaos one bite at a time, picked up the bowl, drank the whole bowl of soup, and wanted another bowl, and immediately discussed with the proprietress to invite this chaotic master to his house as a cook.
This kitchen worker is Aunt Bao, Da Lin spent twice the price to dig her out of this shop, Aunt Bao has been working in the Lin Mansion for five or six years. She loves everything she cooks.
Walking into this small restaurant, the proprietress was full of smiles, swayed out, and invited them to sit inside, Dalin pulled Manti up the steps together, Manti's high heels walked one step and three times, and the stone steps were too difficult to walk.
Da Lin helped her and asked her to walk steadily, and it was easy to walk through the six stone steps, the proprietress lifted the door curtain, Da Lin thanked her, and took Manti into the house together.
