Chapter 320: Warm New House
This foreign girl is only in her twenties.
The long black hair is slightly curved, the bridge of the nose is high, the eyes are big, and the mouth is small. She has a beautiful and cool appearance, and she has a good figure and is very tall.
In terms of figure and appearance alone, she is no worse than foreign actresses in movies and TV shows.
In China, she is also an out-and-out beauty.
Chen Ling hadn't met a foreigner in real life for a long time, and he was stunned when he saw this woman's appearance.
Then I felt happy and thought to myself, I didn’t expect that our old man, Chen, would be a hero and save the beauty one day.
This feels quite fresh.
"..."
"Comrade Public Security, despite his young age, this robber was really ruthless. He robbed something and even tried to stab someone with a knife!"< br>
"No, he didn't stab anyone. After grabbing the things, he kept trying to run away, so we and this young man stopped him. The main reason was that he was holding a knife and we didn't dare to attack him, so we hit him with something from a distance. This young man is so brave. He went up and gave the bad guy a big kick."
"Yes, this young man is so brave. You even subdued the robber with a knife."
< br>"That's right, not only is he brave, but he also looks handsome and upright. It shows that he is a good young man. Young man, are you married yet?"
"..."
Soon, the police drove over. Put the robber in handcuffs and conduct simple routine questions to everyone present.
But as I kept asking, the topic got skewed.
The foreign girl can speak Mandarin, so she can naturally understand what everyone is saying. After answering the police's questions, she straightened her messy clothes and hair twice, and stepped forward to thank Chen Ling and other passers-by.
She seemed to have a good impression of Chen Ling. When she came to thank him, she stared at his face. When he went to get the gifts, she even came over to help him carry his things.
After being politely rejected by Chen Ling, the foreign girl winked at him and said, "Are you going to visit a friend?"
"My name is Eva, I'm French and I just came to Nantai. I teach at a university, speak Chinese, English and French, and like adventure and classical culture. I hope to get to know you. ”
As he spoke, he extended his hand to shake hands with Chen Ling.
“Are you still a teacher?”
Listening to the foreign girl’s very formal introduction, Chen Ling had to stop and briefly shake hands with her: “My name is Chen Ling, indeed. I'm here to visit a friend. Nice to meet you."
"Chen Ling? Although I can speak Chinese, I'm not used to your local name. I'll call you Chen."
< br>"Chen, to thank you for your help, can I treat you to dinner?"
"No need, everyone will help with a little trivial matter."
"Okay then."
Eva shrugged, seeming a little disappointed.
But she is obviously a free and easy woman.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have recovered emotionally from the robbery so quickly.
"Wealth."
The two were talking here, and Chen Ling heard someone calling him from behind.
When he turned around, he saw it was Zhao Dahai's daughter-in-law, Xiang Wenxia, carrying large and small bags of ingredients, looking at him and Eva beside him in surprise.
"What are you..."
"Oh, it's my sister-in-law. This girl was robbed just now, and the police only took the robber away for a few minutes."
Chen Ling briefly explained the matter.
After hearing this, Xiang Wenxia sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. Every time school starts and holidays, there are so many thieves and pickpockets here that the police can't even deal with them. But in broad daylight, you can take a knife on the street. Robbery is still rare."
As he said this, he glanced at Eva, thinking that maybe those people thought that this girl was a foreigner who was unfamiliar with the place and was easy to bully.
Eva is a cold-looking girl, and her facial features are somewhat cold and delicate. People can tell at a glance that she is a cold-blooded woman, and she has the effect of keeping strangers away from her.
But when talking to people, it is actually quite different. They are familiar with each other.
"Girl, which country are you from? Are you studying in university here?"
"No, I am French and a foreign teacher hired by Nantai University."
Tiannan was called Nantai in ancient times. , universities in many areas are like this, and they like to use local ancient names as their names.
“Oh, she’s a French teacher, what’s her name?”
“My name is Eva.”
Eva lives not far from Zhao Dahai's home.
She and Chen Ling walked together for a while and then parted ways.
Zhao Dahai's house is located on the edge of the Nantai University campus. It is a small villa with a spacious yard, flowers and grass, and two dogs, one big and one small.
The big one was a thin gray dog that had followed Zhao Dahai to Chen Ling's house. He obviously remembered him when he saw Chen Ling. As soon as Xiang Wenxia opened the door, he trotted up to him, his tail wagging in the air.
“Not bad, Huahua, I didn’t let Heiwa take care of me in vain, you still remember me.”
Chen Ling patted its head and looked at the small dog lying in the kennel. That dog was a typical poodle, a small white dog with long hair. Many people in the city like to keep them as pets.
Xiang Wenxia smiled and said: "Huahua is very smart and remembers people for a long time. Qiangqiang is old. He is ten years old now. He is the dog raised by my mother-in-law. I usually don't let him out."< br>
“You are ten years old, so you are really starting to look old.”
Even if a dog lives for ten years, its teeth, mouth and stomach will slowly degenerate and become frail and sickly, just like people entering old age. Same reason.
Then I thought of talking to Wenxia about her mother-in-law, and asked, "Are Uncle Zhao and Auntie at home?"
Xiang Wenxia shook her head: "Not here, I went out for the National Day. Then I brought the dog over and let us take care of it for a few days."
Hearing the voices outside the hospital, Zhao Dahai hurried out.
Since Chen Ling called before, he has been waiting at home. He also asked Xiang Wenxia to buy vegetables and other things. He was afraid that Chen Ling would not be able to find the door when he came, so he and his daughter were waiting at home. Chen Ling comes over. Now that Chen Ling was finally here, he was so happy that he quickly pulled him into the house.
While speaking, knowing what happened to Chen Ling on the road, the fat man also opened his mouth in shock, looking dumbfounded.
Then there was a burst of laughter that made his whole body tremble with fat.
"This foreign girl is so enthusiastic about you. Don't just fall in love with you. You are so kind this time. You are a hero to save the beauty. They probably think you are good-looking and want to show your body. "Promise."
Xiang Wenxia also laughed after hearing this, but as a sister-in-law, it was not easy to tease Chen Ling. After laughing, he said to Zhao Dahai with a serious face: "What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful." Su knows that if you go to Fugui in the future, you will not be allowed to enter the house.”
Knowing that these two people were teasing him in different ways, Chen Ling was not upset and let them talk while he went to tease their daughter Yaya. , and changed the subject and asked about the bobcat.
"It's normal that you didn't make the call. They may not be at home at this time. I'll call him in the evening and let's have a drink at my place."
Bobcat now lives on the outskirts of the city. There is a lot of space there, and he has built a dog factory and raised many hunting dogs.
The wedding room where we got married is in the city. It is said to be similar to a half-sized villa like Zhao Dahai. It has many rooms. I have been busy decorating it for the past six months. I have to keep an eye on it every day and also clean up the miscellaneous things. Things are quite busy.
"Where is Brother Yuemin, have you called and asked? If you are in the city, just call him over."
Chen Ling shook his head: "No, they returned to the capital for the National Day. Next time "Okay."
"That's okay. Just the three of us will drink today."
…
Night.
Call Shanmao over, and the three of them ate and drank until late at night.
After all, it was Chen Ling’s first time in the city, and they were all very happy to show their friendship as landlords.
During this period, Chen Ling was very happy and told them about the house he bought in the city. He said that he bought it with a loan and would be able to pay it back after the year.
They have no doubt about Chen Ling's ability to make money.
Of course I won’t worry about him borrowing money and not being able to repay it.
There is just happiness and joy among friends.
Zhao Dahai also said that he refused to come if he was asked to come last year, but this year he came to buy a house.
"Can that be the same? You encouraged me to open a restaurant."
Chen Ling just rolled his eyes at this and was too lazy to say anything more.
Zhao Dahai chuckled: "Then we will give you a warm new house tomorrow."
"What a new house? Didn't I tell you that I bought an old house?"
"For you, it is also a newly bought house. It should be warm."
"Yes, it should be warm. You have to let us sit there anyway, right?"
It is a custom to warm a new house. In the countryside, it is called "stabilizing the pot", and some also call it "entering the fire", which is for good luck.
Looking at the excitement of Zhao Dahai and Shan Mao, it seems that they are more happy than Chen Ling himself when Chen Ling buys a house in the city.
Just said: "I don't come and live here often."
"It's okay if I don't come and live here often. As long as you have a house in the city, it's a good thing. Besides, isn't it convenient? It also seems that we are close.”
“That’s true.”
The three of them drank wine and discussed the matter of warming up the new house.
I went to Chen Ling's house early the next morning and helped him clean up.
"Do you need to buy some furniture? In your houses, there is no other furniture except beds and chairs, and the sinks and faucets in the kitchen also need to be replaced."
Chen Ling nodded. : "Buy, it just so happened that I came here this time to buy a TV for my home. I bought it all at once."
The previous landlord was a little nostalgic and moved things very clean, especially the study room. Apart from a few paintings of Ling's calligraphy, nothing remains.
"Let's go, what are you waiting for? It happens that my dad has a friend who is in the furniture business. I will take you not only to get a discount, but also to deliver the goods to your door."
Zhao Dahai waved his hand and led He followed Chen Ling and Shan Mao and walked out.
Chen Ling's side is a branch campus of Nantai University, and Zhao Dahai's side is also a branch campus, which is regarded as the School of Foreign Languages.
His house is also a family building.
Not far from here, there is a family courtyard of a government unit, and there are people standing guard outside the door.
So this place is quite good, at least it's very strictly controlled, and ordinary thieves don't dare to wander around here.
“Speaking of this, things have gotten a lot better in the past two years. When I was in school, young men took to the streets with machetes and steel sticks to fight every day. The two big gangs totaled five to six hundred people. If you don't recognize your relatives, you might get beaten up, and there will be blood all over the ground. "
"Yes, Dahai said it, but it's just petty theft, pickpockets, etc. like what Fu Gui said. Human traffickers, burglars, etc., they don’t make too much trouble, but they never stop. I have also seen people pour boiling hot water into a basin and practice this method of stealing. "
What Bobcat is talking about is to practice hand speed in boiling water.
Zhao Dahai nodded: "Of course there is, but not everyone is allowed to steal. They are all at the station. During the school holidays, it is best to steal from strangers, acquaintances. It’s hard to start because acquaintances know where there are many thieves, so they are prepared and they are easily beaten if caught.”
After listening to what the two said, Chen Ling felt that there was nothing wrong with the current county, at least there were not so many thieves and thieves.
While chatting, the three of them drove Zhao Dahai to a furniture store, which was opened by a so-called uncle of Zhao Dahai. The business was not small, and the three floors were full of various types of furniture.
Knowing that Chen Ling was Zhao Dahai’s friend, the boss asked someone to take them around.
Chen Ling looked around and felt that Chinese-style furniture was more pleasing to the eye, so he simply picked a set.
It’s good to know someone you know, the price is really cheap, and it’s delivered right to your doorstep.
At noon, Chen Ling found a good restaurant and prepared to treat him.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Dahai drove over and said, "I can't go. My parents are back. They said they haven't seen my eldest brother yet and asked you to come home for dinner."
