Chapter 639 Jia Pingwa Is so Proud that He Wants to Treat Everyone
Fang Minghua is busy with his children's schooling.
Both children are going to elementary school this year. Fang Minghua decided that he could no longer leave them to 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.
Quncexiang Primary School is located in Quncexiang near Shangqin Road. It is very close to Nanfangxiang Community where Fang Minghua lives. It is just around the corner 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, leaving early and returning late and usually not coming back for lunch. Fang Minghua is relatively free, but he often travels for business and is away from home for meetings.
The parents have been living at their 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 daughter-in-law 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 am playful while walking on the road?
What should I do if I meet a bad person?
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 the child at first, and after a while, you can see that the child goes to and from school without any problem, and then we can completely let go.
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.
Watching the two children happily exiting the gate and walking forward along the alley, Fang Minghua followed behind calmly.
When he saw the intersection at the north gate, the green light turned on. The two children jumped across the road. Fang Minghua hurriedly caught 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 a national car in the 1990s. Its price was similar to that of Poussin, with a landing price of about 140,000, but it looked 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, and I was watching from behind, but now I can't see them all of a sudden. I won't talk anymore. I have free time to chat. I have to go and take a look."
After saying that, Fang Minghua was about to leave.
"Don't worry, I just saw you two kids entering a small shop on the roadside." Jia Pingwa said.
"Which one?"
Fang Minghua asked quickly, but before Jia Pingwa could answer, he saw two children happily coming out of a small shop on the roadside, chewing something in their mouths.
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 came 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 meet you. In the evening, I called Shang Zhongshi, Lu Yao, the others, and Bai Miao to get together." Jia Pingwa said with a smile.
"Anything good 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 a few 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 "a toilet-picking stuff".
"Okay, where to go?"
"It's spring time. His gourd head is one of the best."
"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 got 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 in advance, watched the two children line up with others to leave the school gate, followed them all the way, until the siblings entered their own gate, he walked to Dongliu Road, called a taxi and went straight to Chunshengfa.
Chunshengfa is also a time-honored restaurant in Xijing City, located in Nanyuanmen, very close to Jia Pingwa's former home.
The name of Chunshengfa is taken from the famous line in Du Fu's poem "Spring Night Happy Rain" "Good rain knows the season, when spring comes." It is said that a scholar at that time was interested in tasting the store's gourd steamed bun, and borrowed Du Fu's poem to write the name of the store "Chunshengfa".
The gourd steamed bun in this store is a must-try. Jia Pingwa especially likes to eat this. In his novel "Wasteland", there is a paragraph dedicated to Chunshengfa.
It is said that after "Wasteland" became popular, more and more guests came here.
Fang Minghua took a taxi to the hotel and asked the front desk for the room number that Jia Pingwa had reserved. After going up to the second floor, he saw that Lu Yao and Chen Zhongshi had already arrived.
"Where is Bai Miao?" Fang Minghua sat down and asked.
"He's probably on his way. There's a lot of work at the magazine, so he can't leave early." Jia Pingwa explained.
Sure enough, at 6:40, Bai Miao was seen pushing the door in a hurry. As soon as he came in, he apologized repeatedly: "Sorry, several editors had a meeting to discuss something before get off work, which delayed us for a few minutes. We encountered a traffic jam on the road, so we were late.
"If you are late, you will be punished. At least drink three cups." Jia Pingwa said.
"Okay, okay, no problem. ”
When everyone is present, the feast begins.
Chunfasheng Restaurant certainly has more than just Hulutou, it also has “Five Elements Stir-fried Dishes”, “Five Blessings Pao Mo Banquet”, “Vinner Soup with Lamb Blood”, “Pot Intestine Pot”, and “Special Cold Dishes”
Today there are not many people, Jia Pingwa ordered three plates of cold dishes, as well as bangbang meat, steamed buns with three fresh delicacies, vermicelli soup with lamb blood, and pot of pork intestines, and a bottle of Chenggu Special Qu, and of course a bowl of Hulutou at the end, and the five of them chatted while eating.
