In the blink of an eye, a black Santana sedan appeared at the gate of the courtyard, and after stopping in front of us, the driver got out of the window and shouted at me, "Hey, you're Zhou Xu, right?"

As soon as I saw this face, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Jin Puguang? Are you Kim Puguang?"

The man froze, Li Yun froze, in fact, even I was stupid. Because this chubby face of the driver is the face of Jin Puguang in my memory.

I met Kim Puguang from the first day I entered the university campus, and when I returned to school, I found that this fat man Jin Puguang had become thin and everything had changed. To be precise, since the change of Jin Puguang, the historical facts in my memory have changed drastically, and now, this should have been my best friend in college for four years, but the real Jin Puguang appeared as Qian Haiping, which made me suddenly fall into a dream.

"What Jin Puguang? I'm Qian Haiping, are you Zhou Xu? The amiable fat man said it again. Li Yun tugged my sleeve, causing me to come back to reality from the nightmare again.

"Well, I'm Zhou Xu. I'm sorry, you're Director Qian, I almost recognized the wrong person just now, you look very similar to a friend of mine, it really scared me. ”

"Haha," Qian Haiping was as straightforward as Jin Puguang in his memory, and he didn't care about anything, "Don't call me Director Qian, it's ugly, just call me old money." ”

Li Yun couldn't help laughing: "You're not old at all, why are you called old money?"

Qian Haiping said: "You are Li Yun, Guo Ming mentioned you, you are really beautiful, like a movie star." By the way, I'll park the car and come to greet you, wait for me. ”

Saying that, he drove the car into the yard, parked under the ginkgo tree, then got out of the car door, and roared loudly towards the two-story building: "Old Chen, someone is coming!"

This sound was really earth-shattering, and the stupid starling also woke up and screamed. After a while, a young man with glasses came out of the ground floor, who didn't wake up, yawned and came out, and said very unhappily: "What the hell is your name, scary—by the way, old money, are they?"

The "scholar" who hadn't woken up turned to us and looked at Li Yun and me suspiciously. This young man is very young, I thought that Lao Chen must be an old man, but it turned out to be the same as Qian Haiping, but he just likes others to call him Lao Chen, but in fact it is almost the same as Xiao Chen.

Qian Haiping smiled and introduced us to each other and introduced each other. It turned out that this Lao Chen was Qian Haiping's iron buddy, and he was also a member of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, who had just come here, saying that he wanted to write a novel, so he wanted to find a quiet place. As for this small building, it is indeed called the author's house, and the original brand is too dilapidated, so it was removed and asked the nearby painter to repair the paint, and he has not taken it back. Originally, there was a house number, but it is said that it was bitten off by a farmer's dog, and I don't know where it was lost.

"The door number was bitten by a dog?" Li Yun's eyes widened, and she didn't believe it. This is a strange thing that has never been heard of.

Qian Haiping explained that the door number was randomly hung on a nail next to the door, probably so nailed too low, so that the dog used it as a target for teeth training.

It's ridiculous, I have to say to myself, what kind of place is this, Author's House?

"This place—" I asked Qian Haiping, "is it your home?"

Qian Haiping almost burst out laughing, saying Little brother, what are you kidding, I'm not the author, and I won't treat this broken place as my home.

He slowly explained to me, saying that this place was originally a guest house of the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and the previous leaders of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles felt that this place was very quiet and the scenery was good, so they planned to use this place as a place for meetings. But later, the leadership changed, and I felt that this place was too remote and inconvenient to come and go, so I abandoned it.

"It turns out that this place is like a hotel, by the way, you can go in and take a look now, don't look at the outside is broken, the decoration inside is not bad." Earlier, I also hired a waiter here, and I really wanted to build a guest house, but unfortunately, as soon as the leader changed, even if it was abolished, the waiters were all dispersed, and I was planning to rent out this house. ”

While listening to Qian Haiping's introduction, I secretly looked at the cute fat man in front of me who was like a mold carved out of a mold with the Jin Puguang in my memory, from his height, body shape, appearance and tone of voice, all of them looked like the Jin Puguang that had appeared in history, it was really a hell.

Li Yun sighed there and said: "It's a pity, this place is actually very good, there is the fragrance of osmanthus in autumn and the fragrance of tea in spring, living here is really like a fairy." ”

"Yes, yes," said the old man, patting his thigh, "that is to say, this place is more inhabited than a living immortal, and if I had money, I would buy this building." ”

I came back to my senses and said, "Li Yun, do you want to be a fairy sister here?"

Li Yun said no? When our bookstore is up and running, we'll rent it.

Qian Haiping shouted that it was great, I can be regarded as having found a customer who is willing to rent this shabby house, haha. By the way, where did Guo Ming's kid die?

As we were talking, Guo Ming's voice came from behind us: "I'll die here for you." ”

As soon as we turned around together, we saw Comrade Guo Ming walking to us with a big bag with a smile, and Qian Haiping shouted: "Old Guo, you bring so much food, just right, just right." By the way, why didn't my sister-in-law come?"

Guo Ming said: "She still has to take care of her children, she hasn't seen her daughter for a year, and her daughter has been with my mother, and she won't recognize this mother anymore." ”

I understand now, as long as this Qian Haiping sees any of his friends, he will add the word "old" in front of their surnames, and if I am lucky, one day I will be called "Lao Zhou" by him.

Lao Chen also muttered there: "I've eaten fast food for a month, and now I'm finally relieved." ”

We immediately opened the big bag together and counted the good things that Guo Ming brought, a bottle of Wuliangye, a Hongtashan cigarette, two roast chickens, a sauce duck, a large bag of Tianfu salted peanuts, four or five apples, and of course, a pack of spicy chicken feet.

Lao Chen was so happy when he saw this pile of things that he hurriedly ran back to the building to get dishes, chopsticks and cups, and Li Yun also went to help him. Qian Haiping took out a bottle of foreign wine, a box of tea and a bag of watermelon seeds from the car. I found that only Li Yun and I didn't bring anything, and I was so ashamed that I couldn't make up for it, and it seemed that I had to do more work to make up for it.

Everything was ready, everyone boiled hot water, and decided to sit down for a cup of tea before enjoying a leisurely sunny picnic.
