Chapter 61 Xiaoyu brought crayfish
Chapter 61 Xiaoyu brought crayfish
On the third day of the National Day holiday, Xu Qingfan finally got to sleep in.
Last night, my neighbors complimented me on appreciating Chairman Mao's poems, which kept me up until almost 11 p.m.
For nearly two hours, Xu Qingfan only drank one sip of water and did not go to the toilet once.
Fortunately, he was truly knowledgeable. Starting with "Qinyuansha: Spring Snow," he analyzed each poem, combining them with the historical context to explain the state of mind under which the great man wrote them.
In a different setting, this is no different from the "Lecture Room" program.
...
After getting up, I went to the bathroom first. The house was so quiet, I was all alone. I wonder where my parents went to show off to someone again.
After washing up, Xu Qingfan rummaged around the kitchen. There was no breakfast, but there were plenty of mooncakes; they probably wouldn't be able to finish them by next Mid-Autumn Festival.
He didn't care whether these were gifts or not. He opened the most expensive box of Guangzhou Restaurant mooncakes, cut off half of a lotus seed paste mooncake and put it in his mouth, and then opened two bottles of Jinwei to cut through the richness.
Jinwei is a lactic acid drink similar to AD calcium milk. It is commonly given as a gift during Chinese New Year in Guangdong and Guizhou and is very popular with children!
Xu Qingfan went to the balcony to enjoy his meal, and bumped right into Xia Xiaoxiao, who was coming out to collect the laundry.
"Are you going to eat or not? Why didn't you come to find me after you woke up?" he asked, shaking the mooncake in his hand.
"It tastes awful, I'm not eating it. Then why didn't you come to find me when you woke up?" Xia Xiaoxiao accepted her pink strawberry panties, but seeing that Xu Qingfan was still staring at her, she cautiously hid the panties behind her back.
"No, please stop insulting me!" Xu Qingfan felt this was even more insulting than calling him "Black Tiger".
"Hmph~ You have a criminal record, so we have to be careful."
"Hey! Stop right there! What do you mean I have a criminal record? Come back here!"
Xia Xiao finished her story and left gracefully, leaving Xu Qingfan alone on the balcony, furious.
After changing her clothes, Xia Xiaoxiao quickly rang his doorbell. Xu Qingfan looked through the peephole and opened the door for her with a disgruntled expression.
Do you know where my parents went?
Xu Qingfan's question was quite unreasonable, but Xia Xiaoxiao actually knew the answer: "They went to the temple to fulfill their vow, saying that they prayed for you there last year."
"Fine, Mom and Dad would rather believe it's a miracle than believe I've been reborn. I'm tired, let it all end!"
Xia Xiaoxiao thought it made sense at first, but she quickly realized something was wrong. This silly dog was talking like a pig again, so she ignored him.
Xu Qingfan felt rather bored seeing that Xia Xiaoxiao was ignoring him. If it were Wan Ning...
Well, he didn't dare tell Wan Ning about his rebirth.
Xu Qingfan had no choice but to change the subject again: "Do you know which temple they went to to fulfill their vow?"
"It's the He Xiangu Temple at the foot of Phoenix Mountain."
"It's not far. Have you had breakfast yet? There's an ear of corn in the fridge. I'll steam it for you."
"I'm not hungry, could you wash an apple for me, please?"
If it weren't for the fact that Xiaoxiao is a little arrogant, her personality is actually quite good. Please remember to say thank you.
"Eat something even if you're not hungry, be a good girl." Xu Qingfan broke off half a mooncake for her and went to the kitchen to wash an apple for her.
"You're the good boy!" Xia Xiaoxiao took the mooncake, then suddenly remembered and laughed, "Haha, no, you're the obedient little brat!"
"Shut up, don't say that!" Xu Qingfan turned around and glared at her.
Xia Xiaoxiao proudly shrugged her shoulders. She learned this move from Lin Wanning. She liked to do this when she was showing off, and her arms would shake along with her shoulders, creating a very rhythmic movement.
She took a bite of the mooncake, and it still tasted awful. It must be because it had Xu Qingfan's saliva on it!
"It's really awful," Xia Xiaoxiao muttered. By the time Xu Qingfan came out, she had already finished a quarter of the mooncake.
The TV was rebroadcasting Xu Qingfan's interview from last night. The two sat down on the sofa and watched TV together while eating apples.
Xu Qingfan picked up the remote and switched to the Starry Sky Channel, where "The Witch's Test" was playing.
"Why did you change the channel?" Xia Xiaoxiao wanted to watch his interview again. Xu Qingfan's eloquence was indeed good. She was amazed when she first heard the part about the great man's poems last night.
Being able to write this passage is nothing special, but being able to come up with it on the spot during an interview and deliver it fluently without notes is truly remarkable.
"I thought you didn't like watching it." Xu Qingfan switched back to Pearl River Channel, teasing Xiao Xiao in the process.
"I was just helping you check for any mistakes or omissions so I could fix them in time. You don't appreciate my kindness!" Xia Xiaoxiao pinched his waist.
The interview quickly reached its climax, and even after watching it a second time, Xia Xiaoxiao was still deeply moved.
Their generation may have been brainwashed by various public intellectuals and ideologues during their student years, but once they enter society and become more enlightened, they will only marvel at why great people are great.
Just like every year on December 26th, countless young people from all over the country spontaneously go to Shaoshan and sing "The East Is Red" together at the top of the mountain.
"I reckon people will start criticizing me in today's newspapers," Xu Qingfan said, recalling the current state of public opinion.
"Don't worry, no one will dare to criticize you. At most, they'll just say that what you said is too one-sided. Not all scholars are spineless. Yue Fei wasn't, Huo Qubing wasn't, and neither was Wen Tianxiang."
Xia Xiaoxiao munched on her apple, not explaining the reason to him, she simply said this.
Familiar footsteps came from outside. Xu Qingfan and Xia Xiaoxiao turned around at the same time and saw Yao Jinping opening the door and returning from outside.
"Xiao Fan!"
"Ah B!"
"Brother Qingfan!"
Dad, godmother, maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, uncle, Wan Ning and her paternal grandparents, maternal grandparents, and a wild little Yu, a whole bunch of people filed in.
"Wow, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Grandpa, Grandma, and Wan Ning and Xiao Yu, what brings you all here!" Xu Qingfan stood up from the sofa in surprise and ran over to help them carry their things.
"We went to the temple with Xiaofan's maternal grandparents to fulfill a vow. On the way back, we ran into Xiaoyu, and then we ran into Wanning downstairs in the apartment complex. It was such a coincidence."
Lin Jing patted Xu Qingfan's head and explained.
"My good boy has made something of himself! He's such a good grandson of his grandmother!" Lai Manyao said happily, holding her hand.
His maternal grandfather and uncle patted his head, but didn't say anything to praise him.
However, after watching Xu Qingfan's interview last night, one of them stood on the rooftop and the other squatted at the door, each finishing half a pack of cigarettes in their pockets.
The joy I feel is indescribable.
"Brother Qingfan is even more handsome than on TV!" After the adults left, Lin Wanning hugged him from behind and raised his cute little head.
"Haha, there's no need to mention something everyone already knows." Xu Qingfan patted Wan Ning's head and waved to Xiao Yu, who was still "standing as punishment" at the door.
"What is Xiaoyu carrying? Is it something delicious? I can smell it!"
Wu Lingyu's body tensed, her knuckles turning slightly white as she held the bag, and she said tremblingly, "It's...it's crayfish..."
"crayfish?"
Where can I find crayfish?
Xia Xiaoxiao, who had hidden in her room because there were too many people, suddenly poked her head out.
