After Wan Xiaotian sent the people here, he hurriedly left the yard and prepared to greet the others. He was a little worried about the two younger brothers, fearing that they would make some joke or cause some trouble, which would cause him to suffer.
inside the house.
At this time, Aunt Anna and the other two foreigners were studying the heated kang like three rustics.
"Great, this is called a fire... fire kang, right? It's really great! It feels much better than my fireplace."
Claudius touched the hot kang surface with a surprised look on his face and said to himself: "It has a large heat dissipation area, so it can keep the room so warm, and it can also save fuel..."
"Sit on it, it's really comfortable!"
At this time, Aunt Anna had already followed Chu Heng's example and sat cross-legged on the kang. The hot flow from her buttocks made her feel that her hemorrhoids were no longer so painful.
I saw her eyes squinting slightly, her face looking relaxed,
"I can tell by the look on your face that you feel very comfortable."
The other two foreigners also followed the local customs, took off their shoes neatly, and sat down around the kang table.
Then there was a burst of yelling.
"Oh! It's really a pleasure to sit on this in this cold weather!"
"I don't want to leave here anymore!"
…
"Come, come, have tea!"
Chu Heng smiled and poured a cup of tea for each of them. In order to take care of their taste, he specially made black tea and put honey in it.
These foreigners have lived in China for a long time and are used to drinking hot water. However, some like tea very much, while others can't fall in love with it.
Aunt Anna is the kind of person who doesn't like tea. Compared to this astringent drink, she prefers whiskey.
But this is what the host entertains them. Even if they don't like it, they still have to take a sip. This is the most basic etiquette.
The aunt stretched out her chubby palms that were full of the smell of money, and gently picked up the delicate tea bowl in front of her.
"Zi liu zi liu!"
"Oh, I love this flavor!"
"Indeed, it tastes much better than the tea I drank last time! Well... there should be honey in it!"
The other two foreigners were already drinking, and they all praised each other.
Seeing this, Aunt Anna also tentatively took a sip of the red orange tea in the bowl. In an instant, the fragrance of black tea mixed with honey bloomed in her mouth, making this picky aunt nod with satisfaction.
"This tea must have been specially prepared. Chu, you are such a careful man!"
She raised her head with a smile, admiring the man in front of her who had made her heart beat more than once.
"What kind of concoction is this? I just added some honey to prevent you from getting used to it." Chu Heng smiled and waved his hand, then turned his head, patted Claudius carelessly, and said: "Hey, we were chatting yesterday.
At that time, you were only halfway telling me about the Danish pirates' attack on the English island of Lindisfarne in 793. Come on, tell me more, I want to hear it."
Claudius is a thorough patriot. He likes nothing more than telling others about the glorious past of his country. He was instantly scratched. He quickly put down his tea bowl and said, "I didn't expect you to be so interested in this. Since
If this is the case, then I will tell you carefully..."
Ever since, a few people were drinking tea and chatting about history. In addition, Chu Heng, the king of support, would interject from time to time, marvel, or express his own thoughts, and the atmosphere never dropped.
Very lively.
On the side, Sha Zhu and Li Jiangqi were sitting alone on chairs, looking at this guy chatting with the foreigners, admiring them from the bottom of their hearts.
Especially Li Jiangqi, her senses about Chu Heng are even more complicated.
She had to admit that this grandson was indeed a talent. Not only was he eloquent, but he also understood almost everything. No matter what others said, he would always chat with them.
Moreover, he has a unique personality charm that makes people get close to him unconsciously.
It's just a pity that this guy has no good character, otherwise he would be absorbed into the ministry and he would be a rare general!
Thinking of his brother's missing ear, and of his reputation as a jujube stone that had spread in the ministry, Li Jiangqi bit his mouth angrily, gave Chu Heng a hard look, and then secretly poked him.
Take a look at this thing.
After a while.
There was talk again in the courtyard.
Claudius, who was chatting enthusiastically, stopped talking when he heard the sound, smacked his lips with unfinished content, and said: "It's really disappointing. It seems that we can only talk another day."
"It doesn't matter, my friend, the days are still long and we have plenty of time." Chu Heng smiled and poured him a cup of tea, then hurriedly went to the ground to put on his shoes.
soon.
Wan Xiaotian walked in with four foreigners including Avima.
Chu Heng came forward to greet him enthusiastically.
When they saw him hugging the slightly pretty Avima, Shazhu and Wan Xiaotian became excited again.
Eh!
Hug!
Hug again!
This one looks good!
Li Jiangqi, who was sitting there acting like a transparent person, saw these two guys looking dumbfounded. Her face remained as cold as ever, but she pouted fiercely in her heart.
Where is this?
If you saw this man kissing that Dalia and fumbling around, wouldn't your eyes pop out?
With the arrival of Avima and others, everyone who came to the party today finally arrived.
After exchanging a few polite words, Chu Heng took out the cards he had prepared long ago and prepared to start the battle.
He originally thought about moving the Eight Immortals table from his grandfather's house and combining it with the one in the main room to use it as a card table.
But after these foreigners realized the benefits of the fire kang, they were unwilling to go to the ground no matter what.
He had no choice but to find a few benches and put them on the kang. Then he ran to the neighbor and found a discarded door panel and put it on the bench. He also spread a blanket on the door panel and just made a temporary bed on the kang.
Set up a card table and came out.
As a result, there was a strange scene in the house of a group of foreigners sitting cross-legged on the kang, throwing poker cards with pale faces.
The poker game has just begun.
Shazhu and Wan Xiaotian, who had never seen such a arrogant scene, walked up behind Chu Heng and watched nervously as he threw colorful knives in one by one, their hearts beating with fear every time.
Oh my god!
A handful of cards costs dozens of dollars, which is more than a month’s salary for us!
How can you play like this!
"Why!"
"Why did you lose? What kind of rules does he have?"
After a few hands of cards, seeing Chu Heng lose again, the two guys beat their chests and stamped their feet for a while, as if someone had cut out a piece of flesh from their hearts, and their whole bodies shivered in pain.
After a while, Li Jiangqi couldn't help but move forward.
She knew that foreign exchange was precious, but she was actually more nervous than Shazhu and the other two. She remained reserved at first, but it was obvious that Chu Heng was losing money one after another, and she couldn't calm down anymore.
These are all the property of the country!
You loser!
She didn't know that Xie Jun only gave Chu Heng 200 yuan, and she thought that all the money in this guy's hands was given by his superiors.
This is normal, after all, these days, individuals basically have no foreign exchange.
“Place your bets!”
One round of cards ends and a new one begins.
Chu Heng, who had lost fifty or sixty yuan in a row, decided to make some gains. He looked at the pair of eights in his hand, and then used his mind to glance at the three cards he had hidden in the warehouse. There was another card among them.
eight.
Stable!
His face was calm and his heart was as steady as an old dog.
When Avima, who was sitting above him, finished placing two dollars, Chu Heng gritted his teeth and threw in ten dollars: "Follow two dollars, add eight dollars!"
"Gudong!"
Silly Zhu and Wan Xiaotian's breathing almost stopped.
Oh my god!
Most of my salary goes in just like that!
If you lose...
Bah bah bah, win! I will definitely win!
"Click!"
Li Jiangqi also tensed up her little face. She could clearly see the cyan blood vessels and clenched her snow-white hands tightly. She tilted her plump buttocks and looked inside, still thinking in her heart.
"We must win, we must win, we must win!"
At this moment, she has forgotten her grudge against the person in front of her. She just hopes that this guy can win more and not let the country lose too much.
