Chapter 54: A Story of Names
"You're all hungry, aren't you?" Du Bai came back after buying water and looked at the two people who were sitting there paralyzed: "After you have rested, we will go to eat something near Wenshu Monastery, and then go to Du Fu's thatched cottage for a while, and I will take you to cool off after shopping." ”
"What's cool?" Martin sipping an iced Coke.
"Talk as you go! You rest first. Du Bai found a pier on the side and sat down: "Nini, isn't the baby panda cute?" ”
"Ah, it's cute, it's meaty, I really want to take one back and raise it." Yanni immediately came to the spirit: "It's worth the trip!" ”
"I can't take this back, but I can buy you a panda puppet later." Martin also sat up straight: "Let's go, I'm almost rested, I'm hungry!" ”
The delicious food in Wenshu Monastery is on the street outside, many local snacks in Chengdu, as well as pastries and vegetarian restaurants.
Du Bai took Yanni and Martin to eat all the way, and when he saw a lot of queues, he went to the queue, and when he saw something he hadn't seen, he went to buy it, and finally ate until he could.
Wenshu Monastery is actually a temple, but it is famous for the food on the nearby streets, which is really a kind of culture!
After the three of them were full, they found a café nearby and sat down, Du Bai said: "We won't enter the courtyard, let's feel the Buddhist culture quietly!" ”
"We're leaving the day after tomorrow, and we have to go to Dujiangyan tomorrow. Start early, come back in the evening to take you to the bar street, go to Wuhou in the morning after tomorrow, and then transfer to Jinli to eat something and you can go back to Beijing! Train tickets at two o'clock in the afternoon. Du Bai drank coffee and briefly told the two of them about the itinerary.
"You're going back so soon?" Yanni was so reluctant.
"Who gave you less time?" Martin habitually touched Yanni's hair: "Next time, we can have a few more days of fun!" ”
"Next time, if it's a long time, you can go to Xinjiang!" Du Bai thought about his Xinjiang: "Ten days is enough!" ”
"Tomorrow summer vacation, let's go! I'm so impressed! Yanni recalled the beautiful scenery of Xinjiang that Du Bai talked about in the car.
"If it were possible, I would choose to live in Xinjiang, where the air is so good!" Du Bai took a deep breath: "The temperature is not too high, if you feel too hot, you can go to the top of the mountain and stay...... Haha" Du Bai said that he was amused!
"Actually, I like that kind of environment, but ......" Yanni stopped talking.
"What, say!" Martin touched Yanny's arm.
"I'm afraid of bugs." Yanni lowered her head: "When I was a child, I would scream when I saw insects, and I ran while screaming. Yanni began to tremble at the thought of the bug, and unconsciously grabbed Martin's arm.
Martin laughed and took Yanni into his arms: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we will live in a place without bugs in the future." ”
"Haha, alas, you're afraid of bugs? Look at how fierce you usually look! Du Bai laughed at Yanni on the side: "Are you afraid of mosquitoes?" That's bugs too! Du Bai finally got the opportunity to laugh at Yanni!
"Don't tease her, she's crying." Martin pushed Du Bai, and then took out a tissue and gave it to Yanni: "You can still scare yourself into crying when you talk about yourself, coward." ”
"You haven't seen those strange insects, but on summer nights, as soon as the fluorescent lights are turned on, a bunch of insects come in. Mom~~~" Yanni was still in shock.
"In fact, because the ecological environment has been destroyed, many insects are still willing to stay in their own homes, unless their homes are damaged." Du Bai expressed his opinion.
"Where do you think this is crooked?" Yanni had heard of this idea for the first time.
"I thought to myself, anyway, if it were me, I wouldn't go to someone else's house, unless my home can't live anymore!" Du Bai was still talking nonsense in that serious way.
"You're not a bug! It's not you, the worm! Only then did Yanni remember to find a helper: "Martin, Du Bai bullied me!" ”
"It's so interesting to see you bickering, I can't bear to disturb you." Martin hugged Yanny, "I wish you two were always there for me." ”
"Haha, you think beautifully! Don't Du Bai get married in the future? Are you raising him? "Yanni smiled like a flower.
"It's not a good idea!" Du Bai said calmly: "Anyway, I'm an unmarried. ”
Yanni was stunned for a moment: "That's because you didn't meet true love!" ”
"I didn't plan to meet true love, I've always been unmarried, which is why I've always been a sissy but haven't had the slightest idea of wanting to change. I'm not going to pander to anyone. Du Bai drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp: "Let's go, go to Du Fu's thatched cottage." ”
Along the way, Yanni was wondering if people in big cities had strange thoughts, strange Martin, and even more strange Du Bai.
When Yanni walked into Du Fu's thatched cottage, she was still apprehensive, afraid that a strange insect would come out of nowhere, so Yanni kept holding Martin's hand and didn't relax, and Martin was happy to be dragged by Yanni like this.
In fact, now this Du Fu thatched cottage is not as dilapidated as when Du Fu wrote "The Song of the Thatched House Broken by the Autumn Wind", if this thatched cottage is now for Du Fu to live, it is estimated that he will smile all day long!
"Du Bai, I just found out that you are a combination of Lao Du and Lao Bai!" After a while, Yanni had completely forgotten about the insects, and she could actually joke with Du Bai.
"Is my name so straightforward?" Du Bai smiled: "That's really what it means!" I blame my dad for naming me so casually! ”
"Guess me, then." Martin found the topic interesting and took the initiative to get involved.
"You? Martin ......" Yanni thought for a moment, "Is it related to English?" ”
"Haha, no, I almost called a horseshoe." Martin himself laughed, when I was born, my grandfather happened to be nailing a horseshoe, and I heard that he gave birth to a grandson, so he said that it should be called a horseshoe! ”
"Haha, horseshoe." Du Bai and Yanni both laughed.
"Later, my dad said that the horseshoe was not good, so let's call it Martin, and it means nailing the horseshoe, and it still has a bit of a foreign flavor." Martin clasped his hands together: "Thank you to my dad!" ”
Yanni and Du Bai couldn't laugh anymore, and the occasional passers-by on the side all smiled and looked back at the three red men and green women and laughed into a landscape.
"Your names have stories, why don't my names have stories?" Yanni thought for a moment: "No, I'm going to make up a story." ”
Yanni let go of Martin's hand and approached Du Bai: "Du Dacai, help me make one!" ”
"I make it up?" Du Bai's eyes widened: "How to make it up?" ”
"Then I can't say I'm Marx's wife!" Yanni returned to Martin's arms in frustration: "You can't say yes if I say that, right?" ”
Martin was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I'll make one for you!" ”
"Yes, you can." Yanni looked at Martin with a look of adoration.
"You just said that your father admired Marx very much, so he decided to name his daughter after Marx's wife." Martin began to admire his wit.
"Is this okay?" Yanni said to herself: "Okay, it's better than having no source!" I don't think my parents knew that Marx's wife's name was Yanni. ”
"It's okay, it doesn't affect this story, you just tell it like this in the future, and others don't know anyway!" Du Bai said while laughing.
