In these years, it is a good thing to be able to climb with foreigners, and Chen Zikun declined Dr. Stanley with a gentle words that were neither humble nor arrogant, and everyone was in awe of him.

"In that case, I'm not reluctant, if they continue to trouble you, come to the clinic and come to me, my name is Sean. Stanley, you can call me Old Sean or Dr. Stanley, but please don't call me Lord Yang, because I don't have the surname Yang. Stanley's humorous words won a burst of simple laughter.

Dr. Stanley took his leave, Inspector Xue and his son escorted him back to the clinic, and the neighbors in the courtyard went home to sleep.

"Who!" Chen Zikun looked up and heard only the movement of the tiles of Suosuo, as if a wild cat was passing on the roof.

Picking up the baggage, he saw that the white flowers inside were full of oceans, and he suddenly thought of the tray that Ma Shihai asked him to serve.

"Thanks, friend!" Chen Zikun hugged his fist into the sky and said loudly.

Entering the house a little, no more, no less, exactly one hundred yuan is now the ocean, Chen Zikun ordered twenty yuan in his arms, and took the rest to Xing'er's house, put it on the table and said, "Keep this money for the New Year." ”

Xing'er Niang said that she didn't want to accept anything, Chen Zikun said: "Godmother, don't be polite, can I save the food expenses with you?" ”

Saying this, Xing'er Niang happily accepted it, and did not ask where the money came from, because she believed that Chen Zikun would never do those things that stole chickens and dogs.

Chen Zikun left, and Xing'er cried again, she was so frightened for no reason, I am afraid that it will take a while to recover.

Xing'er Niang stroked her daughter's back and said softly: "It's okay, my mother has seen it, the face is not deep, and the scar will not be too conspicuous." ”

How do you know that when she said this, Xing'er cried even more sadly.

No one can guess what is going on in the girl's family, Xing'er Niang can only sigh, carefully hide the money sent by Chen Zikun into the hole in the wall, and plug it with rags outside.

Chen Sanpi, who was beaten, was extremely honest, and he didn't dare to move when he shrank in the corner, and it was estimated that after this scene, he would be able to stop for a while.

……

The horse house, the two hundred yuan on the table is now gone, making Ma Shihai burst into thunderous anger again, and the old mother and servants knelt on the ground, and no one could say how the money was lost.

In fact, Ma Shihai knew in his heart that the money should be stolen by the thief who made the money dart while no one was in the house, but he still scolded his subordinates fiercely, taking the opportunity to vent the evil anger in his chest.

In the courtyard, in the hall, there are still cups and plates, not to mention the good birthday banquet, and let the gentlemen in Beijing Sijiu City see the jokes, the face of the Ma family is thrown to grandma's house, good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, it doesn't take until tomorrow, tonight's things have to be popular all over Beijing.

lost his temper, the second child came back in the company of the fifth, walked into the living room quickly, sat down and took a sip of the tea bowl first, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said fiercely: "This matter is not over, he thought that he would be invulnerable if he found an American as a backer, and he went to play with eggs. ”

The sixth said: "Yes, if that kid is really an American, we will admit it, a fake foreign devil is also making trouble here, who can swallow this breath, check, check him out!" ”

The third and fourth children also followed the coaxing, saying that if it was found out that it was not a real American, they would have to pull out that kid and peel his skin and gouge out his eyes, and throw him into the Yongding River to feed Wang Ba.

Several sons were noisy and excited, but Ma Shihai didn't say a word, got up and said, "I'm tired and sleep." ”

The sons looked at each other: "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

……

There is a stinky ditch called Longxu ditch on the north side of the overpass, and there are some miscellaneous courtyards built of broken bricks and tiles on the side of the ditch, and some craftsmen who can't get along, poor men who work hard, and people who come to Beijing from other places to play tricks and walk the rivers and lakes all live here.

Late at night, the snow was falling heavier and heavier, on the roof, on the road, there was a thick layer, even the most arrogant dog hid in the house and did not say anything, a black figure ran along the root of the wall, if you pay attention to her behind, you will find that the footprints on the snow are very shallow, and a burst of snowflakes drift over and cover it.

No one will know that this is the long-lost snow treading without a trace on the rivers and lakes.

The dark shadow came to the courtyard, crept through a door, and had just come to the bedside to lie down, when she heard a cough, which made her tremble.

"Dad, are you awake?" The black shadow asked in a low voice, his voice as gentle and crisp as a yellow warbler.

"Where have you been?" Daddy asked.

"Nothing, go out and look at the snow."

"Look at the! There are tinkling on your body, at least 100 yuan, are you really old when you are a father, you can't see this? ”

The daughter didn't speak, pinched the corner of the night clothes, and quietly rolled her eyes at her father.

"Get on your knees!" The father suddenly became angry. The voice is not high, but full of majesty.

The daughter twisted her body and knelt down, but her mouth was pursed.

"Have you forgotten what Dad taught you?"

"I haven't forgotten, I don't steal anything when I starve to death, but I don't call it stealing, I'm robbing the rich and helping the poor, Dad, you don't know, the Ma family is broken, and you wanted to rob me yesterday, I ......"

"And quibble! To steal is to steal, what to rob the rich and help the poor! Kneel for me, and don't get up! ”

The daughter didn't dare to argue, she knelt on the ground upright, and after a while, she fell asleep on the chair, when the father came over, he saw a trace of clear saliva hanging on the corner of his daughter's mouth, and couldn't help but shake his head with pity, and took a bed and gently covered her.

……

At dawn, the snow stopped, Chen Zikun got up from the bed, found something to fill his stomach, and went straight to Shiqima Street, along the way every household was clearing the snow, the children were excitedly building snowmen, having snowball fights, the ancient capital was wrapped in silver, and the taste of the year was getting stronger and stronger.

Halfway through, he suddenly remembered that Peking University had already had a winter vacation, and the foreign car was still in school, so he went to the Red Mansion first, repaired the tires of the foreign car, and then pulled the empty car to the forest house.

Seeing Chen Zikun coming, Uncle Zhang was very surprised, looked him up and down, and Chen Zikun asked with a big grin, "Miss?" Didn't go out. ”

Zhang Bodao: "Of course, the lady of the house is at home, how can she go out casually and show her face." ”

"It's good to be at home." Chen Zikun pulled his legs and walked towards the Hanging Flower Gate, ignoring Uncle Zhang shouting from behind: "You can't enter the back house, there is no such rule." ”

Uncle Zhang watched Chen Zikun enter the second gate, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If the person pulling the car is fine, go to Miss, you can't do this in the Republic of China, it's really a bad world." ”

Yesterday, Lin Wenjing went home with Wang Yueqi, because she was not sent back by her own coachman, so she was scolded by his wife, and Uncle Zhang and Lin's mother also added fuel and vinegar, saying that Chen Zikun is not honest, he is a thief all day long, and something will happen sooner or later with such a person at home.

Mrs. didn't like this coachman, listened to the report of the next person, and decided to dismiss the coachman, but this is not a top priority, the New Year is coming soon, and Mrs. wants to take advantage of this time to get in touch with the elite circle in the capital, so she went out in a car early in the morning, and her husband also went to work in the Ministry of Education, leaving only the sisters and brothers and Uncle Lin's mother at home.

Chen Zikun entered the yard and saw Lin Wenjing clearing the snow, so he hurriedly grabbed the broom and said, "I'll come." While sweeping the snow, he casually asked, "Mr. and Mrs. are out?" ”

"Well, my father went to Yamen, and Aunt Mi went to Dong'an Market to buy leather goods." Lin Wenjing replied.

Chen Zikun threw the broom away and said, "Let's build a snowman." ”

Lin Wenjing's eyes lit up: "Okay." ”

She shouted into the house, "Wenlong, come out and build a snowman." ”

The younger brother walked to the door dressed like a small leather ball and hesitated, "It's too cold, my mother won't let me go out." ”

Chen Zikun said: "What kind of cold are manly husbands afraid of, you are so timid, are you a girl, is there no little **?" ”

"You don't have a little **." Lin Wenlong was not convinced, and also ran to the yard, and the three of them shoveled snow, cleared snow, and built snowmen together, having a lot of fun.

Lin Ma and Zhang Boqi smoked seven tricks, but there was nothing to be done.

"When my wife comes back, I must drive this surnamed Chen away." Mother Lin said angrily.

The snow in the yard was swept clean, and two snowmen were piled up, Lin Wenjing brought buckets and basins to the snowman as hats, and put radishes on his face as noses.

Hearing the noise behind the alley, Chen Zikun had an idea, "Let's go out for a snowball fight." ”

Lin Wenjing was still a little hesitant, but Lin Wenlong cheered: "Snowball fight, snowball fight." ”

So the three of them slipped out of the back door, and the children in the alley played a game of snowball fights, although outnumbered, but there is Chen Zikun this general, the children in the alley can not have the upper hand, Lin Wenjing sister and brother hid behind Chen Zikun pinched the snow ball, to provide him with ammunition, Chen Zikun is tall and long-armed, and the smashing is accurate, and the wild children are defeated by him.

"Won, won!" Lin Wenlong jumped up excitedly, his face was flushed, and his hands were red from the cold, but Lin Wenjing knew that his pampered younger brother had never been so happy.

"Brother Chen, if there's anything else fun, take me there." Lin Wenlong is obviously unsatisfied.

Chen Zikun was also unambiguous: "Let's go, go ice skating in Shichahai." ”

When her father and stepmother were not at home, Lin Wenjing became bolder, took her younger brother into Chen Zikun's foreign car, and went straight to Shichahai.

The ice in Shichahai was already very thick, and people in thick winter clothes were walking and playing on the ice, Chen Zikun found a wooden plank, let Lin Wenlong sit on it and pull him away, and came back after running a lap, with two more strings of rock sugar gourds in his hand.

The sisters and brothers were eating rock sugar gourds, admiring the snow scene, and had already thrown their parents' instructions out of the clouds.

"Come on, I'll pull you in a circle." Chen Zikun stretched out his hand to Lin Wenjing.

"Good!" Lin Wenjing happily agreed, handed over the uneaten rock sugar gourd to her younger brother, and took Chen Zikun's hand and skated on the ice.

Chen Zikun is tall and has solid steps, Lin Wenjing's small and delicate body is fluttering like a swallow, and there are strings of silver bell-like laughter on the ice surface of Shichahai.

Tired of playing, Chen Zikun took his sister and brother to find a stall, eat sugar fire, drink oil noodle tea, Lin Wenlong saw the vendor selling rock sugar gourds passing by, salivating greedily: "I still want to eat rock sugar gourds." ”

Chen Zikun stopped the seller of rock sugar gourds, took out a piece of ocean for him, and bought all the grass filled with rock sugar gourds.

Lin Wenlong was so happy that he almost fainted, although his mother was very spoiled by him, but it couldn't reach this exaggeration, he only had one feeling now, he loved his own coachman.

Playing like this until it was dark, Chen Zikun was also going to invite his sister and brother to eat a meal of Donglaishun's mutton shabu, but Lin Wenjing was already faintly worried, and said, "I have to go back quickly, otherwise Aunt Mi will know that she is going to lose her temper." ”

So Chen Zikun pulled the car and sent them back to the Lin house, and as soon as they entered the alley, Lin Wenjing knew that something was wrong, there was a black car parked in front of his house, and Aunt Mi came back.
