Chapter 639 Jia Pingwa proudly asks for a treat
Fang Minghua is busy with his children’s schooling.
Both children will go to elementary school this year. Fang Minghua decided that he could no longer leave them at his mother-in-law’s house, so he found an elementary school near his home.
These days, there is no concept of choosing a school. They all go to school nearby. My two children went to Quncexiang Primary School.
Qunce Lane Primary School is located in Qunce Lane near Shangqin Road. It is very close to the Nanfang Lane community where Fang Minghua lives. It is just a short turn along Dongliu Road and only takes a few minutes to walk.
Moreover, these days, it is not customary for adults to pick children up when they go to school. The two children can happily walk to school by themselves, hand in hand every day, and then walk back after school.
The key is that there must be someone to cook at home.
Song Tangtang is busy at work. He leaves early and comes home late and usually doesn't come back for lunch. Fang Minghua is relatively free, but he often travels for business and is away from home for meetings.
My parents have been living at my sister's house to take care of their nephew, so Fang Minghua and his wife decided to hire a nanny to take care of the child.
Every day I mainly cook for the children and then clean up the housework.
Soon, I found a nanny named Li Xiaoqin, who is twenty years old this year. Coming from Sichuan Province, after trying it for a few days, Fang Minghua found that the girl was very diligent and, more importantly, could cook. In the words of two children, aunt's cooking is much more delicious than father's cooking.
After lunch today, the two children happily went to school carrying small schoolbags. As soon as the children walked away, Fang Minghua followed behind.
This is a task assigned to him by his wife Song Tangtang. Although the school is close to home and there is no need to pick him up, the child is still young and has just started school.
What should I do if I have fun while walking on the road?
What should I do if I meet a bad guy?
When you walk to the north gate, there is an intersection where you need to cross the traffic light. Will the child obey your instructions and cross the traffic light? What if something happens?
So as a father, you have to keep an eye on it at first. After a while, you can watch your children go to and from school, and then let them go completely.
Fang Minghua felt that what his wife said made sense, so these days, every day when the children went to and from school, he quietly followed behind to observe.
Looking at the two children happily walking out of the gate and walking along the alley, Fang Minghua followed behind calmly.
I saw the intersection at the north gate. The green light turned on. Two children jumped across the road. Fang Minghua hurried to catch up and the light turned red.
This will have to wait.
When the light turned green again, Fang Minghua crossed the road and suddenly found that the two children were missing.
He was so anxious that he ran forward. At this time, a brand new black Fukang Shenlong sedan drove towards him and stopped in front of him.
“Minghua!”
Fang Minghua took a look and saw a head sticking out of the car window. It turned out to be Jia Pingwa.
Not long ago, Jia Pingwa received the first royalty income from Shengshi Books - 320,000 yuan. He did not hesitate to buy a Fukang Shenlong.
This was also the national car of the 1990s. Its price is similar to that of Poussin, with a landing price of about 140,000, but it looks more fashionable than Poussin.
In Jia Pingwa’s words, I am now middle-aged and single. I want to improve my quality of life, earn my first royalties, change my house and buy a car!
Seeing Fang Minghua looking around, Jia Pingwa asked with a smile: "What are you doing? Sneaky."
"The two kids were going to school, I was watching from behind, and now I suddenly looked It’s not here. No more talking. I have no time to talk. I have to go and see it quickly.”
After saying that, Fang Minghua was about to leave.
"Don't worry, I just saw you two kids, they seemed to have entered a small shop on the roadside." Jia Pingwa said.
“Which one?”
Fang Minghua asked quickly. Before Jia Pingwa could answer, he saw two children happily coming out of a small shop on the roadside. Chewing something in it.
Soon, someone blew a big bubble in his mouth.
He actually went to buy a big bubble gum!
Fang Minghua originally wanted to rush up and teach him a lesson, but he thought about it and let his children go to school happily. It would be too late to educate them after they come back from school. Since he saw the traces of the two children and the school gate was not far ahead, Fang Minghua was not in a hurry and asked Jia Pingwa.
"Brother Jia, are you out to do something?"
"Haha, no, I came here specifically to see you. I called Shang Zhongshi, Lu Yao, and Bai Miao in the evening , let’s get together,” Jia Pingwa said with a smile.
"What's the good thing to celebrate?"
"Hey, you're right, that boy Wang Shuo was named and criticized!" Jia Pingwa looked gloating.
"Are you talking about the article "Ruins in the Wilderness - The Crisis of Literature and Humanistic Spirit" written by several young students in Shanghai?" Fang Minghua asked rhetorically.
“Yes, this article has been reprinted in several newspapers and magazines across the country, and some people have written articles to express support.”
“Is this worth asking for?”
"Of course it's worth it! Wang Shuo scolded me so badly, and now I finally feel what it feels like to be scolded," Jia Pingwa said.
It seems that Jia Pingwa is still very worried about this matter.
But having said that, no one would be happy if his novel was criticized as "something for cleaning toilets".
"Okay, where to go?"
"Spring is happening, and their gourd heads are outstanding."
"That's okay." Fang Minghua agreed.
"At six o'clock in the evening, come on time. I'll leave first." After Jia Pingwa finished speaking, she drove away slowly.
When Fang Minghua returned home, he told his nanny Xiaoqin that he didn’t have to cook for himself at night because he had to socialize.
After school in the afternoon, Fang Minghua secretly ran to the school gate early and watched the two children lining up with others to leave the school gate. He followed them all the way until their siblings entered the gate of his house, and then he walked to Dongliu On the way, I called a taxi and went straight to Chunfa.
Chunfa is also a time-honored hotel in Xijing City. It is located at Nanyuanmen, very close to Jia Pingwa’s previous home.
The name "Spring Happens" is taken from the famous line in Du Fu's poem "Spring Night Joyful Rain", "Good rain knows the season, and spring will happen." It is said that a scholar at that time became interested after tasting the gourd steamed buns in the store, and borrowed it. He inscribed the name of the store "Spring Happens" on Du Fu's poem.
The gourd-head steamed buns at this restaurant are one of the best. Jia Pingwa especially likes to eat this. In his novel "Abandoned Capital", there is a section specifically about the occurrence of spring.
It is said that after "Dead City" became popular, more and more customers came here.
Fang Minghua took a taxi to the hotel and asked Jia Pingwa at the front desk for the private room number. After going up to the second floor and entering, he saw that Lu Yao and Chen Zhongshi had already arrived.
“Where is Bai Miao?” Fang Minghua asked as he sat down.
"I'm probably on the way. There are many things going on at the magazine, so I can't leave early." Jia Pingwa explained.
Sure enough, at 6:40, Bai Miao hurriedly opened the door and came in. As soon as he came in, he apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, the editors met to discuss something before getting off work, so I was delayed for a few minutes. , there was another traffic jam on the road, so I was late.
"If you are late, you will be punished, at least three drinks. "Jia Pingwa said.
"Okay, okay, no problem. ”
When everyone is here, let’s start the banquet.
Of course, Chunfa Restaurant not only has gourd heads, but also has "Five Elements Stir-fried Vegetables", "Five Blessings Steamed Bun Banquet", "Powder Soup with Sheep's Blood", "Fat Sausage Pots", and "Special Cold Dishes"
There are not many people today. Jia Pingwa ordered three plates of cold dishes, as well as bangbang meat, boiled steamed buns with three kinds of fresh food, rice noodle soup with lamb's blood, and steamed pork intestines. She also ordered a bottle of Chenggu Tequ, and of course there was a bowl of gourd head at the end, which the five of them ate together. While chatting.
