This drinking session was so drunk that Chen Zikun was completely knocked down by a jar of Erguotou.
He vomited into a mess and ruined a brand new wool officer uniform.
He didn’t know how he came back.
He only remembered that he was already there when he opened his eyes.
It was noon the next day.
The sun was shining brightly outside, shining warmly on his body.
There were window grilles cut from red paper on the windows.
Chen Zikun sat up and tried to get his clothes, but found nothing.
Myolie walked in with a bowl of porridge, and Chen Zikun quickly shouted: "I have no clothes on."
"Tch, who cares about you?
Drink this bowl of porridge quickly.
Your clothes are all dirty.
I washed the clothes inside.
I don't dare to wash the woolen military uniforms, so I sent them to the laundry outside."
Myolie said, The gruel was handed to Chen Zikun.
"Then what should I wear?"
Chen Zikun took the porridge and took a sip.
It was just right, lukewarm and not hot, and a little sweet.
When he turned it over, he found two red dates hidden in it.
"I've prepared them for you."
Xing'er took a set of blue cotton-padded jackets from the end of the kang and said, "These are your old clothes.
I'll wash them for you and keep them.
Try to see if they fit you."
Chen Zikun took the cotton-padded jacket and looked at it.
The stitching was densely sewn.
It was probably Xing'er's handiwork.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Xing'er, Baoqing is so lucky."
"What about you, when will you bring your wife to us?"
Xing'er said, and took out a dog-skin hat from the cabinet, "And your hat is here for you.
It was just dried the day before yesterday.
Just wear it when going out.”
Wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket, a dog-skin hat, and a pair of leather-toed shoes, he was simply dressed like a coolie.
After finishing the porridge, Myolie went out with an empty bowl.
Chen Zikun dressed up, jumped on the ground twice, and looked for It reminds me of the feeling I had when I first came to Beijing.
There was a heavy snowfall last night, and the old capital was covered in snow.
Chen Zikun was very interested, so he simply went out to enjoy the snow.
As he walked, he came to the area near the overpass.
A bunch of people were watching the showmanship, and he joined in. , I saw a girl in costume dancing with a sword in the field, her figure and movements resembled Xia Xiaoqing's, and her sword skills were as smooth as water, which attracted a lot of applause.
The girl sheathed her sword, held a gong, and walked around the arena, muttering quacks.
Only then did Chen Zikun see clearly that the girl's face was very different from Xia Xiaoqing's, she was just an ordinary busker.
After losing an ocean, Chen Zikun felt a little heavy.
He was walking slowly on the road.
Suddenly, a foreign car drove by.
The driver was Wang Dongliang from Ziguang Depot.
Seeing that his face was ugly, Chen Zikun waved and said: " Dongliang, what’s wrong with you?”

When Wang Dongliang saw that it was his boss, he hurriedly said: "I ate too much fat meat yesterday and drank two bowls of cold water in the evening.
I have a stomachache.
Boss, I have to go to the latrine quickly.
Please help me look after the car for a while."
Chen Zikun said: "No problem, hurry up."
Wang Dongliang held his stomach and hunched over and ran to the hut on the roadside, while Chen Zikun sat on the rickshaw dustpan and took out a cigarette to smoke.
Two girls dressed as students hurried over.
One of the girls with double ponytails saw Chen Zikun, her eyes lit up and she said: "There is a foreign car."
The girl with a white scarf next to her also became happy: "Great, I finally encountered an empty foreign rickshaw.
Driver, can you run away from Xidan?"
Chen Zikun was a little puzzled, but he understood in a flash that these two girls thought of themselves as rickshaw pullers, didn't they?
With the way he dressed and acted, he was just like a fake rickshaw puller.
"What, I'm here."
Chen Zikun pointed to the latrine.
"What a fool, I'll give you double money if you don't pull me."
The two ponytails said with a stamp of their feet.
The little girl had quite a hot temper.
Her white scarf looked older and she spoke politely: "Uncle, we have something urgent.
Please help me."
Bar."
Chen Zikun's heart was filled with the sound of uncle shouting, thinking that this was how Lin Wenjing called him back then.
"Okay, I'll do it."
Chen Zikun stood up and shouted in the direction of the latrine: "Dongliang, I'm doing business."
Then he quickly swept the car seat with a handkerchief: "You two ladies, please."
The two girls climbed onto the foreign car.
Chen Zikun handed over the sheepskin waistcoat on the handlebar: "You two, take the cover for your feet.
It's a bit cold today."
The twin-tailed man took the waistcoat and waved: "Hurry, No. 7, Shihu Hutong, Xidan, we are almost late."
"Okay, sit tight."
Chen Zikun grabbed the handlebars and ran away.
Although he hadn't touched the handlebars in a few years, the feeling came back as soon as he started running.
His running posture was very standard.
At first glance, it looks like the handlebar style of old Beijing.
There was a heavy snowfall last night, and the sky cleared up in the morning.
The shops along the street swept the snow in front of their doors, and the snow on the road was also swept to the side of the road by the street sweepers.
However, there was still a lot of dirty black snow on the road that had been stepped on by pedestrians.
On the eaves of the house, The bottom is covered with long ice skates.
The business of foreign cars coming and going along this road is good.
The Lunar New Year is approaching and everyone is busy visiting relatives to pay New Year greetings.
It is reasonable for the two older girls not to buy foreign cars. .
Chen Zikun ran fast and steady.
The two girls felt relieved and started chatting in the car as if there was no one else around.
"Yu'er, how's your drama rehearsal going?"
The voice was white scarf speaking.
"Are you talking about our new play Romeo and Juliet?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
It's almost finished, but the long recitation in English is really terrible.
I'm afraid I'll show my timidity then.
Cousin, you'll know after I recite a section. ” With that said, Twin Ponytails began to recite the dialogue in the drama in English.
Bai Scarf listened carefully and praised: "Yu'er, your English is getting better and better.
This recitation is very artistic."
The twintails said shyly: "Cousin, you know how to praise me, but also talk about my shortcomings."
The white scarf said: "Yu'er is the pride of our Peihua Girls' High School, so there are no shortcomings.
The club asked you to play Juliet, which can show the shining points of Shakespeare's masterpiece to the fullest."
Twin Ponytails said: "It's not that I acted well, but that Shakespeare wrote well.
Romeo and Juliet is indeed one of the four great tragedies in his works."
Suddenly someone interjected: "Shakespeare's four major tragedies are Macbeth, Othello, King Lear and Hamlet.
Romeo and Juliet are just more famous, not Shakespeare's masterpieces.
Also, Miss, your pronunciation It’s a little bit inelegant, but it’s very rare, after all, not everyone can speak fluent Oxford accent.”
The two eldest girls were stunned.
They looked around and saw no one who interrupted.
Finally, their eyes fell on the rickshaw driver who was immersed in pulling the cart.
He was the only one at such a close distance.
The two looked at each other, both of them unable to believe their ears.
Could it be that these words were said by a rickshaw puller?
"Your master, you're the one who's talking," Bai Scarf asked cautiously.
"Yeah, when it comes to Shakespeare, I actually prefer Shelley, without exception the best east se fishaniever knew."
Chen Zikun was talking eloquently while pulling the cart.
He didn't hear the two girls' responses, and then said: "Isn't it, the most talented person in the history of British literature?
's lyric poet.
Chen Zikun's casual English words completely shocked the two girls.
This was an authentic British Oxford accent, noble and elegant, and accurate in enunciation.
It would be nothing if it came from a gentleman, but it happened to be said by a coolie who pulled a rickshaw. , and at the same time as he was talking, the master was still running with the car huffing and puffing.
This scene was a bit weird.
"Who are you?"
Twin Ponytails asked stammering, his face turned pale with shock.
"I'm a rickshaw puller.
Where are we talking about British drama?
In fact, British drama in the 19th century was in a slump.
It was far from as glorious as Shakespeare's period.
But luckily they still had Bernard Shaw.
This old man was deeply loved.
The essence of Ibsenism, I was lucky enough to meet him once when I was in London.
His wisdom and agility are amazing."
Chen Zikun was running leisurely while bragging.
The two girls were so frightened that they couldn't say a word with their mouths wide open.
Chen Zikun was still unfinished and continued: "In comparison, Russell seems much boring.
You know Russell?
Sorry, you probably study drama and poetry.
Russell is engaged in analytical philosophy and can't be compared.
I am in the British Bookstore."

When I was reading in the library, I had coffee with this old gentleman.
He asked me a few questions at that time.
Do you know what they were?"
As we talked, we arrived at our destination, No. 7, Shihu Hutong, Xidan.
There was a plaque with the name "Crescent Society" hanging here.
People coming in and out were young literary men and women wearing snow-white scarves and glasses.
"Here you are, two cents, thank you."
Chen Zikun put the rickshaw down, bowed and asked the two ladies to get out of the car.
The white scarf and the twin ponytails were completely confused and forgot to get out of the car.
After being reminded by Chen Zikun, the twintails took out a small bag and took out a piece of ocean and handed it over.
"Miss, I can't find her."
Chen Zikun shrugged.
Only then did the two girls realize that the coachman was not only tall and handsome, but also had handsome features.
He looked like a handsome man.
"Cousin, you're here.
I've been waiting for you.
Come in quickly."
A slim girl came out of the Crescent Club.
Chen Zikun's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Isn't this Miss Lin?"
It was Lin Huiyin who had met in London.
Lin Huiyin also recognized Chen Zikun and said with a smile: "You have returned to China, how can you start this business?"
Chen Zikun said: "This is what I do for a living.
By the way, these two are your cousins."
"Yes, they are both my cousins.
We grew up together."
Lin Huiyin said.
"Since she is Miss Lin's cousin, I won't charge you any money.
See you later."
Chen Zikun chuckled, picked up the rickshaw and ran away.
"Huiyin, do you know this person?"
the twin-tailed man asked, looking at Chen Zikun's back in a daze.
"Well, I've met him a long time ago, and then I met him again in London."
Lin Huiyin said
