Chapter 10 The Smiling Boy
Lin looks quiet, Taozi likes to lower her head and face, probably because she hasn't interacted with people like Abao, and she is a little afraid.
Abao was in a good mood and said, "So you have a beautiful girlfriend, why didn't you introduce us to us earlier!"
Di understood that Abao was the first to declare sovereignty.
However, for Di, this is a purely unnecessary move.
Although he saw Taozi being more beautiful, he liked Lin's temperament more. Di, who focused on clothing and dressing, had quickly judged that the family differences between the two beauties were very different. From clothes, shoes, accessories, watches and bags, they were not on the same level. Therefore, they had a more favorable impression of Lin and felt that they had a more common language. So he continued Abao and said boldly: "Hui, you are really not a friend. You have friends like Meimei Lin, so I will introduce them today!"
"If you don't know if you are reliable or not, how dare I introduce you to you?" Hui's words immediately made Di happy and said, "Hao Weiyan!"
A Bao was afraid that Hui would destroy the situation, and interrupted and said, "Let's go, go in and chat."
Chen Wenjin secretly sighed that Taozi had been harmed by Abao in his memory. He originally considered avoiding them getting to know each other, but unexpectedly, a series of things were ahead of schedule. Even the time when Taozi and Abao met changed. They would not know each other about five or six months later.
It was obviously the first time Taozi came here. The music and the crowded crowd made her very uncomfortable. A Bao also saw it, so he actively acted as a flower protector. As for using his arms to block the way and using the speed of the pace to take advantage of the small advantage of rushing to touch the point, that was originally A Bao's normal operation.
When he entered the private room, Chen Wenjin saw Taozi blushing like a ripe peach.
Hui found that Chen Wenjin was more concerned about Taozi, so she couldn't help but pinched his arm and leaned closer and said, "Are you pretty? Are you envious of Abao?"
"I was wondering if a girl was harmed by A Bao?" Chen Wenjin recalled what he remembered and always felt that A Bao was a bastard about what Taozi did.
"Yes, it's a pity that I was harmed by A Bao! If it were you, it would be different, right?" Hui was still sour. In my memory, she was not like this. Obviously, the situation was special at this moment, and she was in a period of particularly sensitive and suspiciousness.
Chen Wenjin stared at the candlelight on the table silently. Hui waited for a while and couldn't help asking him: "What are you doing?"
"The candle turned into ashes and tears started to dry out. The candlelight burned too short, like many fruitless loves." Chen Wenjin certainly would not explain why he paid attention to Taozi, and it was not wise to pick up Hui's topic.
"Why do you think of such a sad question?" Hui didn't like it. She only liked the eternal atmosphere now. Chen Wenjin's like this seemed to be unsure of the future and lack of confidence, which made her even more panic.
"You know, I'm not an optimistic person at all." Chen Wenjin looked at Hui very seriously and said, "I agreed that if you have the necessary reason in the future, don't lie, don't let me wait for half a year. I won't take revenge on you and hurt you. On the contrary, if you are deceived, you may feel resentful."
"Why do you say this?" Hui didn't have any interest in discussing topics such as possible breakups in the future.
"I'm worried about gains and losses. What's your regret the most? What's your name?" Chen Wenjin really couldn't remember that person. Hui immediately hugged his arm and whispered: "My last name is Liu! I even forgot his surname and still have to be jealous! It's all about elementary school. I told you a few times that I had a crush on him before. Remember it until now! Then we are all together, and the situation has long been different!"
"I'll feel relieved with you!" Chen Wenjin was really tired of changing the topic. He was not interested in the love game of the boy's heart now. If he always took care of Hui's feelings in such trouble, he was sure--it wouldn't last long, and he was not a child anymore... Well, she was still a girl, so she should be more tolerant and considerate.
Abao and Di were in high spirits. Chen Wenjin was just smiling, but actually he would rather go to the cinema. If it weren't for the boring fun staying at home in this era, he wouldn't have been lazy to come out.
However, this is probably not the only reason.
Chen asked now that he is not a teenager's heart, but a teenager's body. So when he sent Hui home, he asked: "There are many clouds tonight, and it seems that it is suitable for snorting into the night with the wind. I wonder if the beauty Hui is welcomed?"
"...I'll think of those!" Hui said angrily: "It's not possible today. My dad is at home, and he is not feeling well."
Chen Wenjin thought he knew this as expected, but he was just provoked by the boy, so he tried to ask.
"I'm going to my sister-in-law's house tomorrow morning and go back to school at noon." Hui didn't ask directly, but Chen Wenjin remembered that he would accompany her every time, and said, "See you tomorrow afternoon."
Hui was very happy and quickly walked upstairs. After a moment, she turned back. Seeing that Chen Wenjin was still there, she couldn't help but smile with a happy smile on her lips, staring at him with bright eyes and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"
"Why are you looking back?" Chen asked what she would do this this morning, just to find out through the details whether he still cared about her.
"It's really going up!" Hui Gao returned happily, this time, without turning back.
Chen Wenjin took a taxi back and had money in his pocket, so he habitually didn't want to spend time on the passage.
But when he was sitting in the car, he suddenly remembered that he was a teenager now, what was the most? It was the most time! Why was he so anxious to go home? Are he anxious to explain the lottery to his father, Lord Chen?
‘When will the money to win the lottery be enough to buy a licensed car?’ Chen Wenjin thought about the fact that there are fewer cars on the road these days, and it is a waste not to drive. In the future, driving is not as fast as riding a bicycle, driving by yourself will become a torture. As for the buses and subways, it is even more crowded during peak hours, which always reminds him of the painful experience of squeezing trains when he was a child.
It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, but when Chen Weng came home, his father, Lord Chen, was not asleep yet.
There was a lottery ticket on the coffee table. Master Chen shouted to turn on the light, and then his fingers hit the lottery hard and asked: "Is this the number the gods reported to you?"
"I was about to tell you..." Chen Wen was ready this morning, and immediately took out the lottery that won the third prize and handed it over and said, "At noon, I heard the sound again, saying that blessings were so shallow. Some people saved great merits at the moment, so the lottery number changed and I gave me a few more. I wondered why I could only win the third prize. It said that some people won the prize as a blessing, and some brought disaster to the blessing. There were many people with high merits in line in front of the first and second prizes, so I could only give me more numbers of the third prize."
Master Chen was originally prepared to make a lot of words to seek punishment, but seeing that the lottery ticket really won, he was left with only faith in Chen Wenjin's words. He couldn't help but ask: "The god said he would give you another winning number? Then we can buy more, and we can win!"
"It's useless. The merits are not enough. It's not our turn. The number will change if you win the game." Chen Wenjin didn't want his father to waste money, and he himself hasn't figured out why the number changed.
"Then why don't you burn incense and worship Buddha quickly? Thank you for the gods' appearance!" Master Chen immediately became excited, his mind full of excitement from now on. Chen Wenjin looked at him and felt that it was comparable to Abao's excitement, so he deliberately said, "Dad, tell me the number that he is a Taoist god, and he is under the seat of the Emperor Taishang, so he is probably not suitable to worship Buddha?"
"Tomorrow, tomorrow I will invite the statue of the Taoist god back! Which god is the Taoist god?" Master Chen was full of enthusiasm. Chen Wenjin felt that this was very pragmatic and had practical effects and benefits. The gods with good gods are good gods. Isn't this a manifestation of pragmatism?
"It was said that the opportunity had not come, so I refused to reveal my honorary title." Chen Wenjin saw the worrying look of Master Chen, laughing, and thought seriously, saying, "Or why don't you ask the Grand Lord."
"Yes! Just do it like this, you can't make a mistake!" Master Chen thought, frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he had an idea. "Please all the immortal disciples under the throne of the Grand Lord. Since you are destined to be with you, turn around and set up a cabinet in your room and put the statues on it. Remember to burn incense every day! Taoism also burns incense?"
‘…Isn’t this a trick?’ Chen Wenjin felt a headache when he thought of the fragrance in the room. Of course, Taoism burned incense. It was originally a Taoist imitated after the localization of the Dragon Kingdom of Buddhism. “Taoist practice does not emphasize form and pays attention to truth, so you cannot deliberately. If you don’t burn incense or deliberately burn incense, it is not a manifestation of the true self. Every day I can just go to the statue of God in the morning and evening. The gods said it.”
"What should Taoist gods eat if they don't burn incense?" Master Chen felt that this was not good. It would be safe to have a clear ceremony of incense burning incense. Otherwise, how would the mind be reflected? How would the gods know?
"How can the gods eat? If the gods need to eat, drink, defecate, why didn't they see them in the sky..." Chen Wenjin was interrupted by Master Chen before he finished speaking. Obviously, he didn't listen to the dirty words he said later, and seemed disrespectful to the gods, but nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will invite an extra statue of the gods and put them in your room. You will rest every day. The cabinet and the Taoist gods next to them are still placed in the living room. I burn incense every day, and I burn incense, which is the embodiment of the true self."
"Dad was thoughtful." Chen Wenjin nodded repeatedly. His bedroom didn't have to be full of fragrance. As for the living room, it was originally smoky from time to time, but the statue of the god was changed.
Master Chen looked proud as if he was taken for granted, and clearly said: ‘Can you be your father?’
Chen Wenjin breathed a sigh of relief and went back to the room to sleep happily. Suddenly, he heard his father shouting again. When he opened the door, he saw Master Chen counting a thousand dollars from his wallet. Chen's mother scolded anxiously: "Why do you give him so much money for him? Just give him ten dollars to eat two bowls of rice noodles!"
Mr. Chen was in a good mood and just handed over the money and said, "Hold it, don't spend it randomly! It was originally a blessing given to you by the gods, and I can't give it to you without any gift. Gambling and drug use is absolutely not OK!"
"I remember!" Chen Wenjin took the money, not surprised by Master Chen's generousness, and of course he was not surprised by his mother's stinginess that only paid ten yuan.
Master Chen happily turned back to the room. Chen's mother knocked on the door again. Chen asked Jin and knew her purpose and said directly: "I don't want money! In addition, my mother, the price of rice noodles has increased, and I can't buy two bowls for ten yuan!"
"Open the door! Why do you kid get so much money? I'll keep it for you and I'll use it later."
"Low come. The twenty dollars you kept for me back then were gone, but it wasn't what you said afterwards? I gave the money myself, which means I can't keep the money. How could I make the same mistake again? You'd better go find dad to share the remaining prize." Chen Wenjin is now in need of money to buy lottery tickets. Every time he wins the third prize, he will be slower. If he can only win the fourth prize, it will be even slower.
Seeing that Chen's mother could not succeed, she had no better way, so she had to withdraw.
Chen Qian woke up long ago and asked happily and surprisedly: "Brother, is there really a god who dreams?"
"Actually, it's an alien. I'm afraid my dad is not easy to accept, so I'm just saying it's a god." Chen Wenjin thought that Master Chen had no choice. Chen Qian couldn't bring a 'road of faith' because of his nonsense. "I'll take it under my mouse tomorrow, and your plan to swim next week is complete."
"Why don't you go to the movie tomorrow?" Chen Qian felt that she was clearly rich now.
"Go to the morning and have an appointment in the afternoon." Chen Wenjin thought this idea was good, but Chen Qian curled her lips and said, "Then I'll go there next time, I'm still thinking about going shopping after watching the movie."
"Please do not go shopping!" Chen Wenjin has never liked shopping. When he was a teenager, he relied on passion to go shopping with his girlfriend, so there was no need to deliberately face his family.
"Then help me go shopping!" Chen Qian looked expectant, but Chen Wenjin said: "We will concentrate our efforts on major tasks in the near future. After a while, it will be easy to support."
"Oh..." Chen Qian was quiet for a while and suddenly said, "Brother, then you can lend me fifty dollars."
"...I borrowed you fifty dollars to buy the lottery?" Chen Wenjin said angrily: "I think I kept it and bought the lottery. It would be better to give you 100 dollars after winning the lottery."
"Well, that's OK!" Chen Qian was not greedy, and she was very satisfied if she could wait for a hundred yuan.
She has already started planning how to arrange this unexpected fortune...
The next morning, Lord Chen went out, and Chen's mother knocked on the door and shouted to Chen Wenjin early and said, "Your father is out. I want to buy vegetables. The salary has not been paid yet. You can lend me two hundred yuan first."
"Just think about it anyway! Are you tired? I have to keep it and buy the lottery. It's okay to pay more when I win the lottery." Chen Wenjin knew his mother's thoughts and directly exposed the most saliva.
"Stop talking nonsense! What kind of immortals! You just go out and sway, afraid that your father will beat you, so you made up a story and happened to win the prize. When your father asks you again, you will definitely say that the immortals have escaped before they even get their dreams!" Chen's mother insisted on not believing, but in fact, it was right that she didn't believe it, but she didn't expect that Chen Wenjin would get the strange black technology of alien civilizations.
"If you don't lie to you, I'll show you the next lottery ticket." Chen Wenjin replied across the door. With this, Chen's mother should have nothing to say, but unexpectedly she muttered outside the door: "Do you think I'm so stupid as your father? Then you spend all your money and get beaten up. The money has been wasted, and can it become back?"
Chen Wenjin laughed silently. He asked himself if he had suspicious illness, but if he had to say that the severity was, he felt inferior to his mother. "Absolutely not, otherwise you would have to take away the red envelope money for the New Year."
"It should have been handed over!" Chen's mother said so, but she had already walked away.
Obviously, Chen Wenjin is not letting go now. She also understands her son's personality. If she says it thoroughly, she has no room for further waste of time. As for New Year's money, it is theoretically necessary to pay it, but in fact it is not necessary. Chen Wenjin uses this as a guarantee, which slightly enhances the credibility index.
Chen Wenjin had made up his mind that he had to think carefully about the next draw, why the number he would win would change.
At noon, Chen Wenjin met Abao and then took the bus to Hui's school together.
Huihefen is a boarding school, and the distance is far. Although Chen Wenjin wanted to take a taxi, he still didn't. Chen Qian didn't even give her any funding. Before winning the lottery next time, it's better to be more frugal.
Hui's school was in a residential area, passing through the entrance of the community, Chen Wenjin saw a dull-looking boy sitting outside the store door, smiling when he looked at him, but his facial muscles were very inconsistent, and that smile looked very strange.
"Damn! I feel annoyed every time I see this fool." A Bao hated this boy with abnormal intelligence.
Chen Wenjin was deeply impressed by this man. This was the case before. Every time he passed by, the child would sit outside the store and watch people come and go. If someone looked at him, he would smile happily.
Chen Wenjin smiled every time, and then withdrew his gaze and continued on his way.
After walking over, Chen Wenjin suddenly felt a strange discomfort. He subconsciously turned around and saw the man staring at him. When his eyes touched each other, he smiled again.
Chapter completed!
