Chapter five hundred and eighteen go to my house to eat
Sunan was being renovated non-stop. Apart from watching the sunrise, absorbing spiritual energy, and practicing boxing with Old Man Huo for hours, Xue Chen was invited to drink tea, chat, and appreciate the antiques collected by others.
It can be considered leisurely.
What gave him some unexpected gains was practicing boxing. After practicing boxing with Mr. Huo for a week, he had a new understanding of traditional Chinese martial arts, although what he saw on weekdays was more like dance.
It was a flower stand that he enjoyed admiring, but he had to say that there were some essences that made him marvel.
He learned the tiger-shaped boxing technique in the twelve-shaped boxing. After a week of practice, he basically mastered the key points of the tiger-shaped boxing, which made him feel that he had gained a lot. He tried to use some moves in fighting, which can be very effective.
After realizing this, he also actively asked Huo Shaolin for help.
Huo Shaolin was also a little surprised by Xue Chen's talent in learning boxing. Originally he just taught some of it with an attitude of not caring much. After all, he was not a master and a disciple, it was just a chance encounter.
But after a week of contact, he could see Xue Chen's progress. It could be said that he had made rapid progress. In a short period of time, he had mastered the essentials of Tiger-shaped Boxing, and he was also very skilled in the more than ten boxing techniques he was taught.
There was nothing wrong with him, and he didn't look like a person who had just learned boxing.
On this day, I practiced boxing by the lake.
Huo Shaolin sat cross-legged on a stone by the lake to rest, while Xue Chen stood in the open space with his head slightly lowered and thinking, making gentle gestures with his arms from time to time, studying the boxing moves he had just practiced.
"Xue boy, you come to the lake so early every day, you probably haven't had breakfast yet." Huo Shaolin stood up and asked.
Over the past few days, the two of them have been in contact and have become very familiar with each other. Huo Shaolin always calls Xue Chen "Xue Xiaozi", and Xue Chen calls Huo Shaolin "Huo Lao".
"I haven't eaten." Xue Chen nodded truthfully.
"Okay, let's go to my house to eat today." Huo Shaolin said straightforwardly.
"Okay." Xue Chen declined without any pretense.
Huo Shaolin walked in front, and Xue Chen followed half a step behind. After walking for a while, Xue Chen looked back and saw a tall man in a black suit not far behind.
He looks like a bodyguard.
After walking for seven or eight minutes, the two reached halfway up the mountain and stood in front of the iron gate of the single-family villa. Immediately, a servant came over and opened the door to welcome them in.
Located on the corridor between the main entrance and the villa is a rugged rockery nearly three meters high, with trickling water flowing down from the top of the rockery, creating an artistic conception of mountain water.
On both sides of the smooth marble corridor are neat and tall pine trees, emitting a pleasant and bitter aroma, which makes people feel open-minded and refreshing after smelling it.
The courtyard is surrounded by a large flat lawn and a unique pavilion. It can be said that this single-family villa hidden in the middle of the lake is exquisite in every part. Those so-called luxury houses with sea view and river view are comparable to the villas here.
, not worth mentioning.
Xue Chen had never thought about buying a villa before, but when he walked in here, he couldn't help but admire it. It was an excellent place to live. He was actually a little tempted to buy a similar villa.
Huo Shaolin walked in front and glanced at Xue Chen from the corner of his eye from time to time. He saw him admiring the exquisiteness of the courtyard. His eyes were full of appreciation and admiration, but he was not as surprised and reserved as he imagined. He was generous and generous without any traces of admiration.
of embarrassment.
It had been half a month since he and Xue Chen first met, but neither of them had asked for any specific information about the other person, such as what they did for work or where they were from, except for knowing each other's names.
The reason he didn't ask was that he simply wanted to teach Xue Chen two-handed boxing. It was a sudden interest and he had no intention of having a close friendship, so he never asked Xue Chen for any personal information.
He also had no intention of telling Xue Chen his identity, lest he cause other chores and mundane matters besides learning boxing, which would affect his mood and disrupt his pure life.
But what surprised him was that Xue Chen never asked him a question. He was cleaner and neater than him. He never asked him where he lived or why he practiced boxing by the Lianhu Pond.
The two of them were silent, but they had a rare tacit understanding.
Therefore, Xue Chen made him feel better and better. At least he was not a vulgar person that he disliked. He knew how to advance and retreat. That's why he took the initiative to invite him to his residence for breakfast today.
Xue Chen followed Huo Shaolin into the villa. He didn't use mind reading skills, so he naturally didn't know what Huo Shaolin was thinking. He felt that this villa was very nice, with an elegant environment and unique style, but he wasn't surprised. After all,
No matter how good it is, it is still an ordinary villa, can it be compared with Sanhu Bay?
He also didn't ask Huo Shaolin any personal questions. Does the identity of the other party matter to him? He didn't care at all. In his eyes, Huo Shaolin was just an old man practicing boxing by the lake, and he just respected the elders.
, I just agreed to practice boxing because I didn’t want to disappoint the old man, and I had no other intentions.
Besides, if he wants to know something, can he hide it from him? He doesn't even need to open his mouth, he can grasp everything, it just depends on his wishes.
After the two entered the luxuriously decorated villa, they first wiped their sweat and washed their hands, and then went to the elegantly decorated restaurant to eat together, with a maid standing by to serve them.
The meals are also very simple, including white rice porridge, steamed bun slices, and a few plates of beautifully styled and delicious-looking pickles.
Huo Shaolin said with a smile: "Xue boy, the food is a bit simple, don't you mind."
"I'm not picky about food, let alone Mr. Huo. How can there be any reason for guests to be picky about food?" Xue Chen replied with the same smile.
"Haha, that's good, don't be polite, just eat." Huo Shaolin nodded.
Xue Chen didn't mean to be polite at all. He ate as he was told, and the food was very fragrant. The speed was not slow. The soft and sweet steamed bun slices swung into his mouth like snowflakes, and the white porridge
He also took a few bites of a bowl, and the maid on the side immediately refilled it, and the plates of sour, sweet and salty side dishes also suffered from his 'venomous hands'.
Huo Shaolin ate more slowly, and looked at Xue Chen eating with a smile. When he saw that Xue Chen was not pretending to be reserved at all, and the food was so delicious, his smile became even bigger.
Maybe it was because he hadn't had anyone to have breakfast with for a long time, and it was rare that he was in such a good mood. In the past, Huo Shaolin, who could only drink half a bowl of porridge and one piece of steamed buns, rarely drank a bowl and a half of porridge today, and also ate two steamed buns.
piece.
Xue Chen, on the other hand, didn't hold back at all. He was able to eat it and even practiced boxing with the old man all morning. The maid who finally ate had to whisper that she had eaten all the steamed buns and porridge and was going to make them again immediately.
That's all.
"Are you full?" Huo Shaolin asked with a smile. He felt more and more that Xue Chen was different, very interesting and cute.
"It's okay." Xue Chen nodded and replied.
"Then let's go out for a walk together." Huo Shaolin suggested.
Xue Chen followed Huo Shaolin out of the door and walked around the villa along the marble path in the courtyard.
When I walked to the back of the villa, I saw a large vegetable field. At first glance, it seemed that there were at least ten kinds of vegetables growing, and they were all well-fed. Although it was already late autumn, they had not all withered yet. The vegetables on the seedlings
There are still some bright red fruits hanging on the tomatoes.
Huo Shaolin walked to the vegetable garden and started tending it, pulling weeds. Xue Chen also simply helped to straighten the bamboo poles of the cucumber seedlings.
After finishing his work, Xue Chen said goodbye and prepared to leave.
Huo Shaolin stood in front of the door and looked at Xue Chen's back as he strode down the mountain. He sighed slightly, and when he could no longer see the figure, he turned around and walked back.
On the way back, Xue Chen called Wei Minghua in southern Jiangsu and briefly asked about the progress of the decoration and whether there were any problems. After talking for a few words, he hung up the phone.
Before he put his phone down, it rang again. Xue Chen glanced at the screen and saw that it was Sister Xuan calling.
"Xue Chen, I heard that you are going to open a third branch in southern Jiangsu? Count me in, I want to invest in it!"
As soon as Xue Chen picked up the phone, he heard Ning Xuanxuan's domineering voice.
"Sister Xuan, do you want to invest money to own shares?" Xue Chen was very surprised.
"Yes, isn't it possible?" Ning Xuanxuan asked.
"Yes, yes, but why?" Xue Chen really couldn't understand why she suddenly wanted to invest money in his antique shop.
"There's no reason, it's just settled. I don't want more, just 10%. As for how much money I need to invest, just give me a figure."
Xue Chen listened in confusion, feeling a little baffled.
"Not just this time, you have to tell me all the projects you want to invest in from now on, do you understand?"
"You want to have a hand in it?"
"Yes, I want to get involved, so I won't refuse!"
"Okay." Xue Chen grinned and agreed.
On the other side of the phone, Ning Xuanxuan hung up the phone. She sat on the bedside, holding her chin in one hand. In front of her was a book that taught how to knit a sweater. In addition, there was a tangled ball of wool, which was obviously a failure.
A product dies in its infancy. The threads are tightly intertwined. There is me in you and you in me. It is very difficult to separate.
When the hung up cell phone rang again, Xue Chen laughed. He did not expect to receive so many calls this early in the morning. When he saw that it was a call from his hometown, he hurriedly answered it.
"Xiaochen, mom took a look at the calendar this morning. It's your birthday on the 5th of next month. Come home and mom will cook your favorite dishes."
Birthday? Xue Chen was startled for a moment, and after doing some calculations in his mind, he suddenly remembered that it was indeed his birthday, less than a month away, and he didn't even notice it.
"Okay, I'll go home, Mom."
Looking at the road ahead, he squinted and recalled how he spent his birthday last year. It took him a long time to remember. At that time, he had just moved into his residence on Jingyun Street a few days ago and had just moved to Daxing as a student.
Apprentice, I came back from the shop in the evening and bought a roast duck to celebrate my birthday. I hesitated for a long time before I walked into the roast duck shop. I spent twenty-five yuan. It was so expensive.
