Chapter 25: One Night at the Temple of Heaven
If you want to dig deeper, Chen Zikun is the apprentice of Jingwumen and Bao Zhilin, I don't know how much higher than the little-known Yanzimen, but in this situation, I have to cooperate, Chen Zikun said solemnly: "It turns out that Xiaoqing's martial arts department is famous, this past is really suffocating, uncle, you are a temperamental." ”
Master Xia smiled indifferently, with deep wrinkles on his forehead, and he could vaguely see the chic of the year.
"Swallow Gate is actually not a decent family...... Forget it, don't mention this, my martial arts are more miscellaneous, I learned art everywhere in Cangzhou, and later learned some Yanzimen kung fu from Xiaoqing's mother, and over the years I have summarized a set of light exercises, and after you and Xiaoqing get married, I will officially teach it to you. ”
Chen Zikun understood Master Xia's intentions, and immediately said: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely be good to Xiaoqing, but I am in the military, and I will go abroad to study military affairs after a while, and it will take about three years to come back." ”
Master Xia pondered for a while and said, "It's okay to do this, let Xiaoqing go overseas with you." ”
Chen Zikun smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid this is not easy, the military academy is not an ordinary school, and you can't bring your family." ”
"That's it, that's okay, as long as the two of you are in love, let alone three years and five years, what if you wait for ten or eight years, but you can't be Chen Shimei, young man."
"Don't dare, don't dare." Chen Zikun secretly screamed, originally just to see an old acquaintance, how did he become someone's uncle.
While talking, Xia Xiaoqing came in with two dishes, fried lamb with green onions, fried pork intestines, put them on the table, tied an apron to cook a cucumber, fried a plate of peanuts and sent them up, and the two raised their wine glasses: "Let's go." ”
After three rounds of drinking, Master Xia said: "Our small courtyard is not particular about those false tricks, today with this wine, the marriage of the two of you will be decided, my father's body is not good, I am afraid that he will not live long, Zikun, Xiaoqing will be handed over to you." ”
As he spoke, Master Xia took his daughter's hand and solemnly handed it to Chen Zikun.
"Daddy!" Xia Xiaoqing's tears rained down.
Chen Zikun was also moved, squeezed Xia Xiaoqing's hand and said, "Uncle, I will definitely take care of Xiaoqing." ”
"Okay, let's go one." Master Xia smiled with satisfaction and picked up his glass again.
This wine was very enjoyable, Master Xia was drunk, Xia Xiaoqing served him to lie down, sent Chen Zikun out, the two walked beside Longshu Ditch, Chen Zikun suddenly smiled: "Suddenly there is a daughter-in-law, this world is really changing too fast." ”
Xia Xiaoqing snorted coldly: "Who said that I will definitely marry you, you remember, this is just to make my father happy, if you really want to marry me, then you have to make me happy." ”
Chen Zikun smiled silently, and suddenly saw a group of people pulling a cart hurried by, and there was a woman with a big belly lying on the car, her face was drenched in sweat, and she kept moaning, as if she was about to give birth, but the strange thing was that she was wearing a middle school student uniform.
Behind the cart, a middle-aged man walked over with a gloomy face, gritting his teeth and muttering things like bad morals and bad morals, unfortunate family, Chen Zikun was dumbfounded, isn't this man the benevolent brother who beat Hu Banxian in the morning.
Hu Banxian, worthy of his name!
Seeing Chen Zikun in a daze, Xia Xiaoqing stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him: "Stupid, what do you want?" ”
"Nothing." Chen Zikun came back to his senses, took out forty yuan and a few silver horns from his pocket and slapped them in Xia Xiaoqing's hand: "Take it, uncle's illness can't be delayed." ”
Xia Xiaoqing didn't refuse, and muttered, "When will you come again?" ”
"Come when you're free, don't send it, just come here." Chan said.
"Hmm." Xia Xiaoqing nodded.
Chen Zikun turned around and left, and suddenly heard a shout behind him: "Hey! ”
turned around suddenly, but saw Xia Xiaoqing's red face coming over, pecking on his face, and then turning his head and running, as if flying.
Chen Zikun touched his face and smiled.
……
Dinner was back to the depot, Baoqing invited everyone to drink, eight bowls of noodles, two pots of head tube, the coachmen accompanied the drink, and went back to sleep one after another, and finally only Chen Zikun and Xue Baoqing were left.
"Big brother, I thank you, it's done!" Baoqing picked up the wine bowl, drank it all, and tears appeared in his eyes, "The court sentenced, Ma Lao Wu was sentenced to death, and he was executed after the autumn, and the foreign cars occupied by the Ma family were sent back, Xing'er and I are also engaged, Dad, Dad, you should also be blind under Jiuquan." ”
Chen Zikun didn't say anything, he knew that Baoqing had been depressed for too long and needed to vent, this young man who was as strong as a calf actually had a sheep-like heart.
"Da Kunzi, the depot is yours, we will help you guard this family business, and when will you come back......" Baoqing said, tilting his head and snoring.
The summer night was slightly cool, Chen Zikun took off his general gown and covered Baoqing, and began to clean up the dishes, chopsticks, cups and plates, Xing'er came over and said, "Let me come." ”
Chen Zikun watched Xing'er move quickly to clean up the leftovers, and couldn't help but think of a picture in his mind, Baoqing replaced himself, and Xing'er became his daughter-in-law, the two lived in a courtyard house in Beijing, drove a car factory, had an old mother at home, a fat maid, a loofah rack, a goldfish bowl, and a poodle.
Perhaps, for most people, this is happiness.
Thinking of this, Chen Zikun shook his head vigorously, and the figure lying on the table changed back to Baoqing.
"It's not the life you want." Chan said to himself.
Sleeping in his room at night, Chen Zikun is still the big boss of Ziguang Depot, the main house Westhouse is his bedroom, which has been kept for him, and no one is allowed to occupy it, Chen Zikun is lying on the bed, taking out a booklet from his underwear coat, reading it in the candlelight, and the cover of the booklet is printed with five words: **Declaration.
This booklet was brought by him from Wu Peifu's study, and one of the editors was Li Dazhao of Peking University, and the content was a bit interesting.
The next day, everyone went to the suburbs to burn paper for Xue Pingshun's grave, and put seven plates and eight bowls in front of the grave, everyone cried for a while, and then went to Yanhong's grave to worship.
Chen Zikun took some money from the car factory, bought a gift and went to Longxugou to visit the future father-in-law, although this marriage is half-true, but to do a full set of plays, there should be no less etiquette.
Master Xia was very happy and solemnly introduced to the neighbors that this Chen Zikun was his son-in-law, and Chen Zikun also politely took out the cigarette from the front door and scattered it around, and the uncle and aunt shouted, his mouth was much sweeter than Xia Xiaoqing.
Back in the house, Master Xia looked at the contents of the basket and was suddenly startled: "Child, how can you buy such an expensive thing." ”
In the basket is a box of Changbai Mountain ginseng, two deer antler velvets, and a bottle of tiger bone wine, all of which are excellent supplements, which cost a lot.
Chen Zikun said: "Your illness is accumulated over many years of hard work, as long as you carefully recuperate, you can recover, don't come and go in the wind and rain in the future, I will bear the cost." ”
Master Xia said: "Child, although we are a family and don't talk to each other, but you are not rich, you spend all the money on me, what will you two do in the future." ”
Chen Zikun said with a smile: "You underestimate me, don't you, I am now a second lieutenant officer, and I open thirty yuan a month, and I have also reopened the Ziguang Depot, and I have a lot of income every month, so you don't have to worry about the money." ”
There were also a few green glass bottles in the basket, and Master Xia picked them up and looked at them in the sunlight, and said suspiciously, "What kind of tonic is this?" ”
Chen Zikun smiled: "This is not a tonic, it is beer, I honor you for your old age." ”
As soon as he heard that it was wine, Master Xia became interested: "Oh, open a bottle and try it." ”
Chen Zikun said: "This wine is not drunk like this, Xiaoqing! ”
"Hey!" Xia Xiaoqing, who was shooting cucumbers in the outhouse, put down the kitchen knife and opened the curtain and came in.
"Beat a bucket of cold well water and chill these bottles of wine." Chan ordered.
Xia Xiaoqingliu's eyebrows were upside down, and she pinched Chen Zikun's ears: "Good boy, I know that my father is not in good health, and I still let him drink, are you tired of being alive?" ”
Chen Zikun hurriedly begged for mercy: "This wine malt is brewed, it doesn't hurt people, it is healthy." ”
Xia Xiaoqing let go, picked up the wine bottle and went out, and continued to shoot cucumbers, Chen Zikun touched his hot ears and said, "Xiaoqing, you will only shoot cucumbers together." ”
"I'll fight!" A slipper flew in, in the end, it was adhering to the secret weapon of the swallow gate, the initial velocity was extremely fast, Chen Zikun didn't dodge, and he was hit the face.
Master Xia shook his head and sighed, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
This dinner was eaten at Xia's house, the dishes were still fried in the second meat shop at the mouth of the alley, plus a few cold dishes, the cold beer of yellow orange orange was poured into the sea bowl, Master Xia took a sip, frowned and said, "How is it like horse urine." ”
But isn't it, the mules, horses, and donkeys pulling carts on the street are pulling their tails and sprinkling urine on the ground, and the color and taste are similar to this beer.
Chen Zikun said: "It's good to get used to it, this bottle of wine costs five cents." ”
Hearing that it was so expensive, Master Xia didn't dare to slack off, picked up the bowl and drank it all, smashed it and tasted it, and suddenly burped.
"Happy!" Master Xia poured himself another bowl.
Xia Xiaoqing blinked, her long eyelashes flickering, "So delicious?" I'll have a bowl too. She was not polite at all, picked up the wine bowl in front of Chen Zikun, tilted her neck and dried it, wiped her mouth and smiled: "It's not spicy at all." ”
As a result, there were a total of four bottles of beer, one bottle for Chen Zikun and Master Xia, and the remaining two bottles were wrapped up by Xia Xiaoqing alone.
After talking for a while, it was getting dark, Chen Zikun got up to say goodbye, and Master Xia had the heart to create an opportunity for the little couple to be alone, so he said: "Xiaoqing, come back and brush the dishes again, and go to send Zikun." ”
"Oh." Xia Xiaoqing agreed, wiped her hands and took off her apron, and went out with Chen Zikun.
The wind blew lightly on the summer night, the bright moon was in the sky, and the stench of Longxugou hit, destroying the romantic and beautiful feeling, Xia Xiaoqing suddenly said: "There is the Temple of Heaven, go and sit." ”
Chen Zikun said okay, the two walked silently one after the other, and unconsciously came to the Temple of Heaven, the Temple of Heaven is the place where the emperor sacrifices to the sky, and now that the emperor is gone, it has become a park, full of towering ancient trees, quiet and deep, small insects chirping in the grass, and the moonlight is cut into countless pieces by the shadow of the trees.
"I'm afraid of ......" Xia Xiaoqing suddenly snuggled over, and Chen Zikun smiled: "What are you afraid of?" ”
"I'm afraid of ghosts."
"Haha, even if there are really ghosts, I'm afraid of you, a dominatrix." Chan said.
Xia Xiaoqing was furious, pinched Chen Zikun's waist fiercely, ran forward, and suddenly squatted on the ground with an oops, Chen Zikun hurriedly stepped forward: "What's wrong?" ”
"My foot is twisted." Xia Xiaoqing cried with a sad face.
"I'll help you knead it, and you're a master of light skills, and you can twist your feet when you run two steps." Chen Zikun helped her rub her ankles while counting, and suddenly a bright moonlight shone on Xia Xiaoqing's face, and her long eyelashes trembled, which was extremely moving.
"What do you mean?" Xia Xiaoqing's eyes are like silk.
Chen Zikun pounced, kissed him hard, and panted: "That's what it means." ”
"Badass!" Xia Xiaoqing was furious and beat Chen Zikun desperately, and his two long legs were sandwiched between his waist, and the two of them tore and rolled into the grass......
Koukou (1,208 crosses are omitted here)
Xia Xiaoqing fiddled with the messy grass on his head, buttoned the button, and said to Chen Zikun very seriously: "From now on, you will be my person." ”
