(47) A new journey

On Monday morning, Shen Peng greeted Yang Xiaolei and drove Qiu Yan to Hangzhou.

At half past eleven in the morning, Shen Peng parked his car in front of an antique old mansion according to the address on his business card.

"It should be here, can you call and ask?" Shen Peng looked at the closed iron door and said to Qiu Yan.

"No one answers, I'll go down and see." Qiu Yan got out of the car and slapped the door hard.

The door opened with a bang, and a girl with a delicate face poked her head out and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Hello, I'm Qiu Yan, and I'm here to learn from Mr. Han Weixi."

"Hello, I'm Xue Qi. Come in! Teacher Han was still there just now, and he should have gone to the backyard at this time. Xue Qi turned sideways and let Qiu Yan and Shen Peng walk in.

"Have you started your lessons?" Qiu Yan asked the girl with a ponytail next to her.

"Well, Mr. Han was telling us about fashion lines just now, and all the sketches we drew were torn up by him. Be careful, Teacher Han is very strict in class. "Xue Qi seems to be a straightforward little girl.

Walking into the backyard, Qiu Yan shouted "Teacher Han", and Han Weixi's voice answered in the hall, "Wait a minute!" Accompanied by the sound of the old man coughing.

Qiu Yan and Shen Peng stood in the courtyard and waited for a while, but when they didn't see Han Weixi come out, Qiu Yan looked at Shen Peng suspiciously: "Could it be that something happened?" ”

"You wait here, I'll go over and see."

Shen Peng strode to the door of the hall, lifted the curtain and saw Han Weixi patting an old man on the back, "Teacher Han, what's wrong with the old man?" ”

Han Weixi looked back at Shen Peng, "Are you?" ”

"I'm Qiu Yan's boyfriend, come over and see if you need help?" Shen Peng said as he walked over.

"Thanks, my dad is stuck with phlegm, and I can't spit it out no matter how much I shoot."

"I'll give it a try." Shen Peng stretched out his hand to carry the old man to the bed, let the old man lie on his side, and bent his hand into an arc to buckle the old man's back, and soon the old man spit out the phlegm.

Han Weixi handed the old man a glass of water, and the old man gasped as he drank the water and said, "Thank you, young man." I'm sick with an old problem, and I cough badly when it's cold. ”

"You're welcome. You'd better go to the hospital for a check-up, it's very bad to have such a cough all the time. ”

"It's useless, cough for more than a month and it'll be fine. This is a seasonal problem, and every time the seasons change in autumn and winter, I cough non-stop. ”

"I've got an earthwork here, you might as well try it and see if it works."

"What's the deal, isn't it troublesome?"

Han Weixi looked at Shen Peng curiously, only to hear Shen Peng say, "It's a very simple recipe." You take a small clump of coltsfoot flowers, mix them with a little honey, and burn them in a clay pot. You have to drill a hole in the crockpot first, and you insert a straw into a small hole and suck the smoke from the burnt flowers. Suck it for five days in a row, and wait until the sixth day to eat a meal of mutton buns. ”

"Can it really cure my old problem?" The old man looked at Shen Peng suspiciously.

"It's not troublesome, you always try it, I heard that it is an ancient recipe, I haven't tried it, I don't know if it works." Shen Peng said with a smile.

"I think you're a real person, so I'll believe you. What is your name? The old man looked at Shen Peng's tall figure curiously, "It's a soldier, right?" ”

"Old man, my name is Shen Peng. You have a good old eye, I have indeed been in the army for more than ten years. ”

"Weixi, you go and prepare an afternoon meal, I want to talk to Shen Peng." The old man looked at his thoughtful son who was standing aside dissatisfied.

Shen Peng also turned his face to look at Han Weixi, "Teacher Han, Qiu Yan will trouble you in the future, give more guidance and less criticism." ”

Han Weixi smiled and nodded, turned around and walked out.

Qiu Yan saw Han Weixi come out and shouted enthusiastically: "Teacher Han, hello! ”

"Well, your room is in the westernmost room on the second floor of the front yard, you can go and take a look and rest first. Shen Peng was chatting with my father, who was a veteran, and he had endless words to say when he met someone who was a soldier. This is the key to the house. ”

Qiu Yan took the key in confusion and watched Han Weixi turn around and walk towards the kitchen.

Qiu Yan walked to the front yard and saw Xue Qi and asked, "Why are you alone, the two of them?" ”

"When the lunch break came, they went to buy shrimp buns. Are you going to clean up the room, I'll help you? ”

"Thanks, are we in one room?"

"Originally, yes, but yesterday Teacher Han said that there was another girl coming, and the four of us were too crowded to live together, so I arranged another room for you and the girl who didn't come."

"How long have you been here? Still adapting? ”

"I've only been here for three days. Teacher Han is very amiable when he is not in class. We must all have been introduced by acquaintances, right? I was going abroad, but my parents didn't worry that I was alone and asked a friend to introduce me here. ”

"Well, where are you eating and washing?" Qiu Yan asked, looking around.

"The bathroom is in the house, and the meal has to go to the backyard. The front yard is where we go to class and rest. Mr. Han lives in the backyard, and when he is not in class, he usually does not come to the front yard. In addition to a few of us and Mr. Han's father and son, there are also two cooks and a male servant in this small courtyard, and they are all very nice. Xue Qi stopped at the door of the room, waiting for Qiu Yan to open the door.

"Male servant?"

"Well, taking care of the old man, he seems to have taken leave today. Look at your room, it doesn't seem like there's anything to clean up? ”

"Well, it's pretty clean! And the futon? I brought my own futon. Qiu Yan touched the quilt on the bed and said.

"It's okay, you can use it if you don't want to. I also brought it from home. Shui Miao used the futon here, and she thought it was very good. ”

Qiu Yan walked around the room, "Yes, it's much more comfortable than the university dormitory." ”

"Of course, we are treated as international students. You can rest first, I saw Shui Miao and they came back, and they went to ask for two buns to eat. ”

Qiu Yan watched Xue Qi run out of the room with joy, closed the door, and looked at a few blue stars in the net bottle on the table, which was very interesting.

Lunch was hearty, and although no one was drinking, the table was full of delicacies. The old man was very interested, and looked at the young people who were full of vitality and sighed: "Our family has not been so lively for a long time...... Weixi, I'm really glad that you can give up your fame and fortune outside and come home to take care of me......"

"Dad, that's what I'm supposed to do. Let's not talk about the past today, let's have a good meal. Han Weixi sandwiched chopsticks for his father.

"Okay, listen to you. Shen Peng, I like you very much, a heroic young man, how good it is to protect the mountains and rivers with iron bones! Why did you leave the army just for this girl? ”

Qiu Yan heard that the chopsticks holding the lion's head were crooked, and the lion's head slipped onto the table. The old man looked at it and felt that his vision was right, "Look, she can't even use chopsticks." Qiu Yan's face was flushed and he looked at the old man embarrassedly.

Shen Peng quickly put the slippery lion's head into his bowl, and put another one in Qiu Yan's bowl, and whispered comfortingly: "Eat, don't be like the old man." ”

"Old man, I will toast you with tea instead of wine, and wish you good fortune like the long flowing water of the East China Sea." Shen Peng drank a few sips of water and continued, "I think the greatest happiness in this life is to have no regrets!" I missed her when I was young and regretted it for a few years. Now that I've finally got my wish, I feel like it's worth it. ”

The old man shook his head disapprovingly, "I'm still young and only thinking about the love of my children...... What are you doing now? ”

"I opened a few stores, and the business was okay. When will the old man go to my shop? We have shops to eat, drink and have fun. ”

"What? Eat, drink and be merry? You've gotten this decadent? ”

Shen Peng laughed loudly, "Restaurants, coffee shops, and amusement parks are all serious businesses. Did the old man just want to arrest me? ”

Everyone at the table laughed. Han Weixi persuaded the old man to eat more and not to talk patronizingly. The old man glared at him, hated iron and steel, and said, "Look at others and then look at you, how useless!" Han Weixi blushed and lowered his head.

Qiu Yan felt that this old man was really confused, how could he train his son in front of so many people.

Shen Peng smiled: "The old man is very familiar with this, my father will say this every time he sees me." I've heard since I was a kid that I'm already immune. Mr. Han, eat more food, your small body looks like a world-famous designer, I just saw you and thought you were a high school student. ”

Han Weixi looked at Shen Peng and smiled, picked up his chopsticks and ate the meal that Shen Peng had put in his bowl.

"How old is Mr. Han this year?" Shen Peng asked curiously.

"Thirty-one." Han Weixi looked at Shen Peng and smiled, "What about you?" ”

"I'm four years older than you, do I look a lot older than you?"

"No, you look like a big brother, mature and steady."

……

After eating, Shen Peng said goodbye to Han Weixi and his son. Qiu Yan sent him out and said angrily: "You have become the protagonist, when did you become so talkative?" ”

"Isn't this all for you, I'll help you take care of it, you're here alone, I'm not at ease."

Qiu Yan took the initiative to hug Shen Peng, and said affectionately: "Let's go, drive carefully on the road." ”

Shen Peng smiled: "Study hard, return early, don't keep me alone in the empty room." ”

Qiu Yan slapped him with a smile, "Got it, let's go." ”。

"Remember to miss me." Shen Peng looked at Qiu Yan reluctantly and sighed, got into the car and waved to Qiu Yan.
