In the evening, Li Yunhai and Zhu Lin took Fei Fei to Nanluoguxiang to play.

Nanluoguxiang is also called Luoguo Lane, because of the 16 alleys, shaped like centipedes, also known as centipede streets.

The courtyard where Zhu Lin lives is near the Forbidden City, less than three kilometers away from Nanluoguxiang, and it is not too far to walk there after dinner.

This is one of the liveliest hutongs in Beijin, and at night Nanluoguxiang is full of food and fireworks, and all kinds of snacks are available.

Here, you can feel the taste of Laobeijin, Hutong culture and fashion atmosphere. Whether it's snacks, culture or art, there's something for everyone.

It used to be the most prosperous area of the capital and a gathering place for dignitaries.

Many well-known celebrities have left their former homes here.

Almost every house has a story to tell.

The monk's mansion, Ke Garden, Hou Di, Qi Garden, Jiang's Xingyuan, and the famous Chinese opera campus are also here.

From the generals of the Ming Dynasty to the last empress of the Manchu Dynasty, from literary masters to giants of painting, every mansion here has countless characters.

Li Yunhai doesn't care if Fei Fei understands it or not, he will tell her about it everywhere he goes.

Fei Fei has big black eyes, full of curiosity and desire to learn, she has always been naughty and noisy, tonight is exceptionally quiet, listening to her father tell stories.

Zhu Lin was dressed in civilian clothes and wore a hat with a low brim.

If you hadn't specifically observed her, it would have been hard to tell that she was Her Majesty.

She doesn't want to be a queen, nor does she want to be a star in the limelight, she just wants to be like all ordinary housewives in the world, accompany men and children, and have a good shopping.

There are many shops on both sides of the road, and even a small shop that is inconspicuous may be a century-old brand.

Eat, play, use, you name it.

Li Yunhai hugged Fei Fei and walked into a shop selling antiques.

Zhu Lin picked up a vase and said with a smile: "This is beautiful, it will be spring soon, and it can be used to arrange peach blossoms or cherry blossoms." ”

A clerk next to him reminded: "Comrade, this is an antique, if you use it to arrange flowers, you can just buy an ordinary vase." ”

Li Yunhai said: "It doesn't matter what it is, if you like to use it for flower arrangement, just buy a few and go home to arrange flowers." ”

The clerk tugged at the corners of his mouth, shook his head and said, "Comrade, it's a bit of a tyrannical thing to play with expensive antique flower arrangements." ”

Li Yunhai said disapprerovingly: "These things, in the hands of the ancients, were used to arrange flowers. ”

The clerk was stunned and said, "That's the same." But now it's a valuable antique, and when you buy it home, most of it is locked up at the counter. ”

Li Yunhai said: "Isn't the chicken bowl cup in the Chenghua period also used to drink tea?" Isn't the incense burner in the Xuande period also used to light incense? Make the best use of things, you are the one who loves things. ”

The clerk was surprised: "I didn't see it, Mr. turned out to be a person who knew the goods." This vase is the blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, and the price is 30,000 yuan. ”

Li Yunhai smiled: "Thirty thousand, it's not too expensive." Buy ten to go home with a flower arrangement? ”

When the clerk heard this, he pulled the corners of his mouth again, thinking that this person was too capable of loading, 30,000 small vases, and he actually had to buy ten as soon as he bought them? The key is to buy it at home or use it for flower arrangement!

In 1993, there were not many people who could spend 300,000 yuan to buy ten vases for flower arrangement.

What made the clerk collapse was that Zhu Lin actually agreed: "Then you don't need ten, right?" It's enough to buy two or three, but too much is not good-looking. ”

Li Yunhai said: "Put one in each room?" ”

The clerk listened to the braggadocio of the two of them, and they didn't want to receive them anymore.

At this time, Zhu Fei suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the vase, and lifted it violently.

The vase is not large, it has a long neck and a narrow mouth, only the length of Zhu Fei's arm.

The clerk was startled and shouted: "Children, this can't be played, hurry up and put it down!" It's not fun to break it! ”

It's good that he didn't shout, this shouting scared Zhu Fei, and she let go of her hand!

"Bang!" A bang.

The vase fell to the ground and shattered into countless pieces.

The clerk shouted: "I told you not to take it, you want to take it, now it's okay, it's broken!" ”

Li Yunhai stroked Fei Fei's forehead, kissed her daughter again, and said, "Fei Fei is not afraid, is this sound good?" ”

Zhu Fei was about to cry with a flat mouth, but when she heard her father say this, she grinned again: "It's good! ”

"It's good, it's just a plaything, and if you want to hear it, then you can drop it and listen to it. It's also called making the most of it. Li Yunhai said with a smile.

Zhu Lin couldn't cry or laugh beside him.

Anyway, it's also 30,000 Ming blue and white porcelain, and if my daughter falls, I hear a sound?

How can anyone spoil their daughter like this?

The shopkeeper rushed over and shouted, "Ouch! This is a vase of 30,000 flowers, how can you drop it, little friend? ”

Li Yunhai said lightly: "If you fall, you fall, what's the big deal?" If you scare my daughter, it will cost 300 million, and you will not be able to settle this matter! ”

The shopkeeper was a big fat man, his eyes were squeezed to the size of mung beans by the fat, he glanced at Li Yunhai and Zhu Lin, and sneered: "Comrade, you said it lightly, it was my thing that fell, of course you said so!" ”

Li Yunhai took out a bank card and said, "If I buy it, isn't it mine?" My daughter wants to fall and hear a noise, why not? ”

The shopkeeper was stunned.

The clerk was even more shocked.

Zhu Lin smiled: "You're too used to her!" ”

Li Yunhai said: "It's hard to buy a lot of money!" As long as my daughter is happy. ”

The shopkeeper said, "I'm sorry, we can't swipe cards here." ”

Although POS machines have long existed, they have been popularized relatively late in China.

It was not until the late nineties that it was gradually used by major merchants.

However, in 1993, high-end shopping malls like Sihai Plaza began to use POS machines.

Li Yunhai put away the card and beckoned.

Ding Qiang stepped forward.

Li Yunhai took women and children out to go shopping, of course, he brought enough cash.

Ding Qiang and Zhuang Yong both had a backpack on them, and the bags were full of money.

"Give them 120,000." Li Yunhai said, "Plus the one that fell, let's buy three more." There are four of them. ”

Ding Qiang agreed and asked the shopkeeper, "Do you want RMB or USD?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned, and his face was still crying just now, but he instantly became humble and smiled: "RMB!" ”

Ding Qiang took out a stack of banknotes, which was exactly 100,000 yuan, and took out two bundles of 10,000 banknotes and put them on the counter.

The shopkeeper knew that he had met the God of Wealth.

The price of 30,000 vases is not repaid for a penny, and there are four of them when you buy them.

The shopkeeper was still heartbroken just now, but now he regrets, why don't you break a few more children, and listen to a symphony?

"This, this? I'm sorry, we only have a couple here, and the kid just fell one, and there is only one left. However, there are other styles, which are similar to this pair. ”

Li Yunhai said: "It's okay, anyway, it's just used to arrange flowers!" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly asked people to wrap three vases.

Li Yunhai said: "You don't need so much packaging, just pack it in a plastic bag, it's better to mention some." ”

The shopkeeper had to listen to him, first wrapped it carefully in oiled paper, then carried it in a plastic bag, and carefully handed it to Li Yunhai.

Of course Li Yunhai won't answer.

Ding Qiang stretched out his hand and took it.

"See anything else?" The shopkeeper smiled earnestly, "Little princess, look here, there are still beautiful ones here." ”

He wanted to attract Zhu Fei to see other porcelain, and it was best to smash all the valuable items in his shop.

Zhu Fei was not interested, and pointed outside to leave.

Li Yunhai and Zhu Lin left the store.

The shopkeeper sent them outside the door and sighed, "This person has to throw it away more than others!" ”

The clerk said, "Boss, how rich is this person?" 30,000 yuan, let my daughter listen to it! ”

The shopkeeper shook his head slightly: "Unfathomable, he is really rich!" The bank card just now is not something that ordinary people can do, and the bank will not open this kind of card for you if there is no deposit in it. ”

"Huh?" The clerk was directly stunned, and at the same time pinched a handful of sweat, fortunately the man didn't care about himself, otherwise he would be charged with disturbing the little princess, and he would be able to smash him into prison for free public meals with money.

Zhu Lin walked beside Li Yunhai and said with a smile: "Yunhai, there is a bit of a problem with the way you educate your daughter, how can you teach her like this?" When she grows up, she can't treat money like dung? ”

"Isn't it good? Haven't you seen Dream of Red Mansions? Qingwen tore the fan and smiled. Li Yunhai said with a smile, "A maid in Jiafu can have fun like that, why can't my daughter?" ”

Zhu Lin laughed so hard that his stomach hurt: "I can't talk about you." It's a good thing you don't teach her often, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do with her. ”

Li Yunhai said: "In ancient times, there was a person who liked to eat a dish the most, called chicken tongue. For each dish, only the tongue of the chicken is used to make the dish, and hundreds of chickens are wasted each time! Does it subvert your three views even more? ”

Zhu Lin said: "I seem to have heard of this, and it is extremely extravagant and wasteful!" ”

Li Yunhai said: "This person is the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shen who wrote down the sweat drops and the soil and worked hard. What do you think? ”

"Huh? Really? That's unimaginable! Zhu Lin was really taken aback.

Li Yunhai said: "Through your own efforts, improve your own life, so that you and your family can live a good life, isn't it?" If rich people are still reluctant to spend, and all of them are misers, then it is not worth advocating. ”

Zhu Lin said: "Alas! I don't know what to say! ”

After shopping, go home.

Zhu Lin took out three blue and white porcelain vases, placed them in the living room, and said, "When I have time one day, I will fold a few peach blossoms and insert them." ”

Fei Fei was tired from shopping and fell asleep as soon as she got home.

Li Yunhai returned to his residence and slept without mentioning it.

The next morning, they went to the rice grain depot alley to visit the leaders.

By the time they came out, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Yunhai's mobile phone has always been turned off.

After getting in the car, he turned it on.

The phone rang suddenly.

He answered the phone.

"Brother Li, where are you?" A crisp female voice came with deep resentment.

"Miss Li Juan, hello!" Li Yunhai said, "I'm in Beijin!" ”

"Hey, Brother Li, didn't you say that there was a flight at ten o'clock this morning? I've been waiting for you! And what about you? ”

"Oops, I'm sorry, we changed our booking and will go back to Xizhou tomorrow. Where have you been? ”

"I waited for you not to see, thinking that you went directly to the airport, so I boarded the plane, and I am now in Xizhou!"

"Hahaha!" Li Yunhai couldn't help laughing, "I'm sorry! You'll be there when you arrive! You find a hotel to stay in first, and we'll go back tomorrow. ”

"Well, can't you tell me about such a big thing?"

"I forgot to inform you."

"You don't have me in your heart!"

"Of course! If I had you in my heart, you would be afraid. ”

"You! How can you be a friend like this? Hum! ”

"That's it, I'll call the Sihai Tianhua Hotel, open a suite for you, you go to check in directly, all the food and accommodation expenses are mine, when it is an apology, how about it?"

"Well, that's pretty much it! Well, for your sake, I'll forgive you. ”

Li Yunhai hung up the phone and said with a smile: "I forgot about Li Juan, she was furious!" ”

Lin Xin sighed: "That's right! Did she go to Weststate? ”

Li Yunhai smiled: "It's not! ”

He called back to Xizhou and asked Li Juan to arrange a place to live.

There is still half a day left today, Li Yunhai asked Lin Xin to go back first, he wanted to be alone with Zhu Lin.

Lin Xin was very weird, and said where are you going to play? Play with me!

Li Yunhai thought to himself, we really can't play with you when we play!

Zhu Lin knew Li Yunhai's thoughts, but he couldn't make Lin Xin suspicious, so he said, "Let's go to the park, shall we?" Today's weather is nice, go boating in the park? ”

Lin Xin smiled: "Okay! I like boating the most. ”

Li Yunhai had no choice but to agree.

They went home to pick up Fei Fei and headed to Beihai Park.

Fei Fei took a bite to her father, shouting extremely affectionately.

Lin Xin was stunned when she heard this.

Although she knew that Li Yunhai was Zhu Fei's godfather, she still sounded very awkward, and said: "Brother-in-law, Fei Fei should call you godfather, not dad, so it is easy for others to misunderstand." ”

Li Yunhai said: "Except for your misunderstanding, no one will misunderstand, because others don't care about our affairs at all." To others, we are all strangers to them. Do you care if someone shouts Daddy wrong? ”

Lin Xin was speechless.

Zhu Lin smiled.

They rented a boat in the park, Lin Xin and Zhu Lin rowed the boat, and Li Yunhai held Fei Fei to watch the scenery and enjoy the flowers.

"Lin Xin, you have a boyfriend, right?" Zhu Lin asked with a smile.

"Nope!" Lin Xin smiled shyly, "When you are studying, you are not allowed to fall in love at home." After graduating, I have been working for the company, but I have not found a suitable match. ”

"You have a good background, good conditions, and your requirements must be very high."

"I'm not too demanding, just like my brother-in-law."

"Isn't that high? There is only one Li Yunhai in the world! ”

"Hey! Look for it slowly! Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, let's play until I'm thirty! ”

"Today's young people, the idea is really impressive!"

"Sister Zhu, what about you? Are you not married? ”

"I'm old, I don't want to get married, and I don't have the heart to serve a man."

"Have you been single for a long time and don't want to find a partner?"

"A little."

Today is not a weekend, nor is it a holiday, and there are not many people visiting the lake.

The boat floated leisurely on the lake.

rowing the boat to a small island, Lin Xin pointed to the peach blossoms that were blooming brightly over there, and said with a smile: "What a beautiful peach blossom!" ”

Zhu Lin looked back at Li Yunhai: "I'll go and fold a few branches and go home to arrange flowers." ”

Li Yunhai said: "This is a park, I don't know if you are allowed to fold!" ”

Zhu Lin said: "It's okay, right? If I catch a big deal, I will be fined some money, and I can't do it for a few peach blossoms, so I will make a special trip to Xiangshan, right? ”

Lin Xin said: "Xiangshan is also a scenic spot, and it is not allowed to fold flowers." ”

Zhu Lin said: "So let's say! It's folded here. ”

Lin Xin said: "I'll help you fold, when I was a child, my sister and I often went to the martyrs' cemetery to fold flowers." Once, we were really caught by the caretaker of the garden and fined us five dollars! At that time, five yuan was a lot, and the park entrance fee was only two cents! My heart hurts so much that I remember it now! ”

Li Yunhai said: "It can be seen that no matter how much you are punished, you don't have a long memory, you still want to pick flowers!" ”

Lin Xin chuckled: "What are you afraid of!" How boring would life be if it were all about the rules set by others? Even if we can't be rule-makers, we must at least be non-rules-making people. ”

Zhu Lin said: "I found that if you are not a family, you don't enter a family, you and Yunhai's ideas are too special!" ”

Lin Xin rocked the boat and came to the peach blossoms.

The peach blossoms bloom near the water, the trees are not tall, standing on the boat, within reach.

Lin Xin stood at the bow of the boat, reached out and climbed a beautiful peach blossom, folded it hard, and handed it to Zhu Lin.

Li Yunhai shouted: "Be careful, don't fall into the lake!" ”

Lin Xin smiled: "It's okay! There are flowers that can be folded straight and must be folded, and there are no flowers and empty branches. ”

She took a fancy to another peach blossom and stood on tiptoe to climb it.

At the same time as she broke off the peach blossom, a boat rocked over next to her, probably because she also took a fancy to the peach blossom and wanted to climb it.

The boat made waves and hit Li Yunhai and their boat.

The boat immediately swayed.

Lin Xin stood unsteadily, sighed, and fell into the lake.

Li Yunhai was taken aback, and hurriedly handed Fei Fei to Zhu Lin to hold, he lay on the side of the boat, and reached out to catch Lin Xin.

Lin Xin knows how to swim, but the lake water in early spring is very cold, and after her clothes are wet, she shiveres from the cold.

Li Yunhai grabbed her hand and said, "Slow down, take it easy, otherwise you won't be able to come up." ”

Lin Xin grabbed the edge of the boat with one hand and said, "Brother-in-law, this can't work, as soon as I exert myself, this boat will capsize." I'll swim to the island, you row over, and I'll get on again. ”

Li Yunhai thought about it, so he let go of his hand.

Lin Xin swam to the shore and climbed the railing on the shore.

Li Yunhai rowed to the shore and jumped onto the shore.

Lin Xin sneezed, shivering with cold.

Li Yunhai took off his coat, draped it on her, and said, "Hurry home!" You're going to catch a cold! ”

Lin Xin lay in his arms, and said with chattering teeth: "Brother-in-law, I'm cold." ”

Li Yunhai helped her and got on the boat cautiously.

It was not far from the dock, and they rowed back to the pier.

Lin Xin was already frozen, and her face turned pale.

Li Yunhai said to Zhu Lin: "You take Fei Fei and go slowly, Lin Xin and I will take the first step." ”

Zhu Lin said: "You don't have to worry about me, take her to change her clothes!" ”

Li Yunhai saw that Lin Xin's legs were trembling from the cold, and in a hurry, he picked her up and walked quickly to the exit of the park. (End of chapter)
