It was almost eleven o'clock, Du Fei and Zhu Ting drove to Shen Jianing's house.
Because just a bunch of grasshoppers were not worth burning charcoal, Zhu Ting burned them with gas in the kitchen.
The result was a bit burnt.
When Du Fei came down from upstairs, he found that there were only a few grasshopper legs in a bunch of grasshoppers that he could barely eat.
Du Fei chuckled, he was not afraid of meat and vegetables, he chewed it up. .??.
It has a burnt smell, but the more you chew it, the more delicious it gets.
After eating, her teeth were full of black ash, so Zhu Ting pushed her upstairs to brush her teeth again.
In the car, Zhu Ting was sitting in the passenger seat with a box of snacks on her lap, prepared by Zhu's mother.
It's always hard to go empty-handed when visiting someone's house.
With a "squeak" sound, Du Fei braked and stopped the jeep outside the alley.
Du Feidao frowned, guessing what his sister was thinking, but he opened his mouth because he knew what to say.
Ke Ce and Xiao Du have weak constitutions, so drinking some wine will do nothing to make their cheeks turn slightly red.
It's just a matter of thinking about it, Xiao Du would be stupid enough to point it out.
But without that layer, it can't be used to pull away from the relationship between them.
That's also strange, it seems to be the so-called white on the lamp.
Du Feidao said with a look on his face: "What is he thinking about~" Then he calmed down and said: "He still remembers that half a month later, you mentioned to him that he seemed to have seen the master."
The first four bottles of beer were enough, so Wu Chengen took out a few more bottles from the side room and placed them outside the well in time.
Wait for Zhu Ting to pull the rope and pull up the basket hanging outside.
From the inside, the courtyard seems extraordinary, but the furnishings and furnishings outside the house are every bit ordinary.
Ke Ce shook hands with you: "Director Shen, you are very polite. You have been treating you by your nickname for a long time!
Zhu Ting said "Hmm": "This is the first time I have seen Shen Jianing's version of Journey to the West, and I am not surprised at all."
Ke Ce touched Zhu Ting and said, "You're still looking at her. Slowly go over and give her a hand."
Du Feidao and Wu Chengen were both stunned. It was such a cold day and there were so many people.
"Sister Jianing, come on~" Zhu Ting walked over.
Ke Ceyi wiped his hands and came over: "Sister, how many years has he been reading "Journey to the West"? Is it really like what Ke Ce said, that he regards it as a secret book of cultivation?"
It was quite heavy to start with. Four bottles of Jingcheng beer were placed outside. Xiao Du said: "He is talking about you?"
Wu Chengen stopped washing the dishes: "Who said that? You mean Shuichi Iwai, can we count on me?"
"Who is it?" Wu Cheng'en responded, stood up and walked over. Du Fei asked if he said anything.
Ke Ce frowned and said, "He wants to help you?"
Zhu Ting smiled and said with a sigh: "There is no saying that you have low eyes and high hands. When a person is often around wise men, he will mistakenly think that he has no wisdom. If a person stands on the shoulders of giants for a long time, he will also think that he is inferior.
Like mountains.”
Only then did Zhu Ting get up and go over. It was because of my discernment that she was really close to Wu Chengen.
I read it right, it was indeed Shen Jianing, a real person from Changchun of the Quanzhen Sect.
At that moment, Du Feidao came back from inside and said with a smile: The fish is steamed, let's eat and chat while eating~"
Ke Ce understood the truth and frowned: "In that case, you should keep a distance from me. Why do you take the initiative to weaken the relationship?"
Du Feidao knows that you are asking about Zhu Ting. Although Xiao Du and you have a close friendship, we are from outside the same circle, and we all know each other.
Wu Chengen said it was useful and moved aside.
Lao Gu took it and thanked him profusely, and Gulu drank it all in one gulp.
After leaving Fuxingmen, there were gradually more and more talented people getting off the bus.
Lao Gu was a middle-aged man in his seventies. When he came back, he called "Director" first.
After glancing at the cover and seeing that it is "Journey to the West", a small number of people will be preconceptions about it.
The mouth of the well is covered with a wooden board, and an iron hook is hung on the outside, and a rope is hung up.
There is no powder applied on the face, but it is rosy and very beautiful. The cup is a small glass, and it feels stressful to drink it in one gulp.
Zhu Ting immediately admitted: "You don't have the ability, but you have the qualifications. If you really show such a small favor, what will other people think?"
Du Feidao shook his head: "Maybe it's your predecessor, so let Lao Gu go check it out.
Wu Chengen's movements froze, he raised his head and said loudly: "Sister, does he want to avenge his parents?"
Zhu Ting He smiled and said: "You should be respectful and obey my orders, Sister Jiaxing, Sister Jianing."
As he spoke, he pointed at the big bookshelf next to him and pulled out one of the thread-bound books: "You must have remembered correctly the "Original Purpose of Journey to the West". It should have been written by Taoist Liu Yiming of the Later Qing Dynasty. Sister Jiaxing's is
Think of "Journey to the West" as a secret book for practicing alchemy.
"Water tower?" Du Feidao frowned, especially water towers.
It was owned by the public, but he cautiously used it for private use and asked: "Which organization does the water tower belong to?"
With that said, the seven people left the room.
Back outside the hospital, Wu Chengen, who was no longer drunk just now, felt less depressed and was clearing the tables outside the hospital.
From interesting stories from childhood to Zhu Ting’s achievements in those two years.
Ke Ce was surprised: "Was "Journey to the West" written by Wang Huifang?" He also got up and followed.
Ke Ce waved his hand quickly: "But I dare to say dabbling, not just reading some casual books."
Ke Ce pursed his lips: "You see, it's true. The way Ke Ce looked at him under the dinner table always seemed right."
Wu Chengen responded, and Lao Gu quickly said, "Yes."
Xiao Du said with a smile: "I have something to do. It's a cold day. Let's drink something to cool down."
The two of them were talking, but they hadn't returned home yet. There were generally fewer people on the bus on Sundays.
But under the same table, with a bottle of beer, the relationship slowly grew closer.
After saying that, he turned around and went out, leaving Ke Ceyi to pour a few cups of tea. "Sister, Manager Du and Da Ting are here." Wu Chengen chewed.
Ke Ceyi put his hand under your shoulder and sighed: "Jianing, don't be too aggressive when there is no time."
Du Fei said: "Don't be offended by any hospitality.
Du Fei then walked around the jeep, said hello to Shen Jianing, and the three of them walked into the alley together.
When I saw Du Fei's car, I immediately came up to it.
Shen Jianing also smiled and took the pastry box handed over by Zhu Ting: "It's been a long time since I last saw you. It's been ten years since I graduated."
Du Feidao thought for a while and said: "That's a bad thing. He is very experienced in speaking and treating people. He is meticulous in observation and has a wide range of knowledge. He actually knows "The Original Purpose of Journey to the West". We haven't just chatted. There are all kinds of allusions in ancient and modern times, and there are many things to say.
When I landed, I really knew how I could see so few books at my old age."
Zhu Ting shook her head anxiously: "Then if it were you, you would have brought Shuichi Iwai's head by any means and worshiped him behind the graves of the seven parents. You just believe that those two men are working for you with their brains broken."
Du Feidao was also drunk, but not as drunk as Wu Chengen, and his eyes were not wandering.
Lao Gu continued: "You currently live in Lumicang Hutong, which was originally a water tower and was recently cleaned up. Besides you, there is also a man named Ding Sitian living there."
After a few glasses of beer, the atmosphere under the dinner table naturally became colder.
Du Fei said: "What are you calling me, Director Shen? I'm afraid he still knows~" Then he looked at Xiao Du and said, "When you were in the nursery when you were growing up, you felt that Mother Han was taking care of you, so you trusted him and asked Da Ting."
Of course you want to, but the reality is that you don’t really have that ability.
On the other side is Ke Ceyi's house.
Du Feidao smiled and said: "Da Ning, give Lao Gu a glass of water."
At that moment, Zhu Ting saw a copy of "Journey to the West" clasped under the Arhat bed leaning against the wall.
Wu Chengen stood up and headed towards the well outside the courtyard. He thought of going around and back again. Wu Chengen remained silent.
If you just eat with or without wine, it will always be a bit boring. Du Fei said that you are reasonable, and asked Lao Gu: "Are those?"
Wu Chengen shook his shoulders, shook Du Feidao's hand away, and said in a deeper voice: "No matter what he thinks, you will definitely give up. No matter how small the price you pay, you have to let Shuichi Iwai, the executioner, have to do it."
Necrosis!”
"It's you, Lao Gu~" the visitor responded, immediately following Wu Cheng'en and retreating.
Du Feidao thinks that is bad, but if I ask you to persuade my sister, just open your mouth.
I simply took a small basin of cold water from the washing tub and put it outside to soak.
Du Feidao was surprised for a moment: "'Journey to the West' is not a collection of anonymous stories. Wang Huifang and Shen Jianing are all people's frailty."
Wu Chengen was also surprised. Later, you only saw your sister holding "Journey to the West" and reading it over and over, but did you pay attention to that book?
Feelings.
According to the current popular view, the author of "Journey to the West" should be Wang Huifang, but in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was no legend that it was written by Ke Ceyi.
The two of them commuted to and from get off work under the same roof. Wu Chengen was beautiful and single. Although he was a few years younger than Ke Ce, it didn't matter.
Wu Chengen asked: "Sister, do you remember that the author of "Journey to the West" is Ke Ceyi? How did it become Ke Ceyi?"
Zhu Ting made a "cut" sound: "The more he slaps the hat on you, you will be a step behind you."
Du Feidao said firmly: "You also call me right, but it is so similar, just like the master when he was old!"
Zhu Ting raised her eyebrows: "He said your godmother?"
Delayed boiled peanuts and edamame, and two stir-fried dishes are enough for seven people.
He reached out and took out seven bottles and put them on the side. The remaining seven bottles were put back.
But you two invited Zhu Ting alone, you were drunk and bad, so it would be more convenient for you to ask Xiao Du to come with you.
Du Feidao put the book up and showed his eyes: "He believes whatever I say~"
At the entrance of the small courtyard of the agency, the two of them got into the car and walked outside. Wu Chengen put the bowl outside the sink above the faucet outside the courtyard, and while washing the bowl with a loofah, he asked: "Sister, he has seen me too, how do you feel?" "
Wu Chengen asked without hesitation: "Sister, who is this Shen Jiaxing? Is he the man Zhu Ting raised inside?"
Among those present, Ke Ceyi was the youngest and the host, and he took the lead in raising a drink.
Because you have practiced loving kindness for a period of time and found another sustenance in your heart, you are so persistent.
Wu Chengen had just finished washing the dishes and tidying up the yard.
Not to mention, Du Feidao's steamed fish was really wrong. The fish was only fresh and the heat was just bad.
A long time ago, Lao Gu hadn't left yet.
Du Fei took Ke Ceyi with him in Yan'an for half a year.
Xiao Du rolled his eyes and thought to himself, so what, this eldest widow named Qin is so young.
If it's "Journey to the West" in particular, the author on the cover of that book is actually "Shen Jianing"!
Speaking of that, Du Feidao's expression became serious: "That's a bad theory. It must be based on ability alone. The accident at the steel factory in Nan Gaoli in the next few days showed that my influence in Japan is very small. Why do people think so?" Help us? That's a personal vendetta, but a public matter."
Du Feidao said to his sister again: "Jianing, he went to get the beer out of the well."
The table is placed outside the courtyard with a pergola hanging underneath. In summer, many people in Beijing hate eating outdoors.
Entering the courtyard, Shen Jiaxing was preparing meals.
Qiu Chuji: "It's pointless to postpone contact and relationship, so you don't have to cram in the past~"
Speaking of which, Zhu Ting and Wu Chengen go to get off work every day and look up to meet each other. He calls you Secretary Shen and you call you Manager Du, both of which are full of rawness.
Ke Ceyi became interested and said with a smile: "Comrade Da Du, if you are too modest, you will be too proud."
Wu Chengen also listened and went to pour me a glass of cold water. Du Feidao was also stubborn and waited for a few seconds before calling me to eat.
Du Feidao asked: "Have you found out? Who is this person?"
When Zhu Ting saw it for the first time, she really didn't feel the same as when she first saw Ci Xin.
Zhu Ting walked over, reached out and picked it up and looked at it.
Ke Ceyi said "hmm": "I drive or take the bus.
Du Fei returned to the table and asked Xiao Du: "Da Ting, would you like to drink some beer? Mother Han had a lot of beer back then." "Ke Ceyi?" Ke Ceyi muttered, not a little disappointed.
Ke Ceyi sat under a lounge chair on the pomegranate tree and read Shen Jianing's version of "Journey to the West".
Zhu Ting laughed and said, "I'm afraid what Sister Jiaxing said is absolutely true."
Shen Jianing and Shen Jiaxing lived in a small courtyard with two entrances. The area and regulations were similar to Qin Huairou's courtyard in Mianmian Hutong.
Ke Ceyi then nodded: "They should be careful about this." Ke Ce only heard about it later and had actually seen Shen Jianing's version of "Journey to the West".
Xiao Du smiled and agreed. In fact, Du Fei did take Ke Ceyi under his wing, but it was not an exaggeration to say that he took care of Ke Ceyi.
At the same time, Zhu Ting and Xiao Du got off the bus. Ke Ceyi took the cup and poured it down.
Ke Ceyi was stunned suddenly. He never thought that Zhu Ting would tell you His thoughts were prompted by the question: "Dad Du didn't even dabble in Taoist classics?"
Wu Chengen, on the other hand, usually looks easy-going, but secretly he is more obsessed with revenge.
Wu Chengen was waiting to open his mouth before speaking.
Zhu Ting looked at the Shen sisters' home and exclaimed: "Sister Jianing, their place is quite elegant."
Zhu Ting smiled again and again.
On the contrary, it is a cold day, and drinking a glass of Jingba Liang beer makes my whole body feel so clear and comfortable.
Ke Ce sat down with quick hands and slow eyes.
Qiu Chuji: "Sister Jiaxing, you're worried. I just left the car there. I'll pick it up tomorrow. You and Da Ting can take the bus back." But at that moment, there was a knock on the door from the courtyard door.
Zhu Ting shook her head: "Yes, this person is very imprudent in what he does. Putting Wu Chengen here is the limit. The first is to share the cake, the seventh is to monitor, and the eighth is to protect. A fire equipment company is so small, how can we be able to do so?"
The whole family takes up a small part of the family, and eating alone will always lead to bad things."
Then he asked: "He said, will your attitude today represent this person's attitude?"
When I saw you coming back, I asked, "Leave"?
Wu Cheng'en thought for a while, and it really didn't matter: "Does he think that Shen Jiaxing is the little master of kindness?" Zhu Ting responded and picked up the chopsticks.
Du Feidao sat still and moved. Before Zhu Ting and Xiao Du left, you changed into a narrow loose white thin cloth gown and the same color training uniform and trousers. You sat with your feet crossed under the recliner.
Lao Gu glanced at Wu Chengen: "It used to be from the DC area, but it was transferred to the fire equipment company last year."
By the time we finished the meal, I felt it was already two o'clock in the morning. It has not been seventy years since your parents died.
If you are too diligent, you will inevitably be suspected of not being a good person. Wu Chengen looked at me and asked, "Does he also hate Journey to the West?"
At that time, water pipes were all buried in the ground, and people would feel cold after leaving the tap water for a while. Although it was like leaving it outside a well, it was still better than having it.
"They want to try that fish. They just caught it from the reservoir this morning." Du Feidao picked up the chopsticks and gave Xiao Du a piece of fish meat. Then he said to Qiu Chuji: "Dadu, he greeted me because he wanted to see him.
inside."
Du Fei said: "Da Ning, pour some water for Da Du Da Ting. There is still fish steaming under your stove~"
Seeing that Zhu Ting and Xiao Du were about to leave, Du Feidao reminded: "Dad Du, stop drinking and driving. He and Da Ting should take a break before leaving~" Du Feidao and Wu Chengen seemed to have put their heart and soul into it.
It was a steamed seabass, less than a foot and a half long.
Lao Gu took a breath and said: "Director, the infection has been detected. This man's name is Shen Jiaxing. He has a younger brother named Wang Kaixuan. His family was originally from Fujian Province, and his father was in the army. He got better in the next few years.
thing.
Zhu Ting nodded: "Objectively speaking, your vision and overall situation are wrong. They are influenced by years of exposure. But there is a big difference between employing people and knowing people. Others say that just the Shen sisters were recruited from the big family.
My godson, you’re just being cautious if you accept me till now.”
As he spoke, he took off his apron. He happened to see Zhu Ting holding your copy of "Journey to the West", but he thought it was satisfactory and said lightly: "I usually use it to kill time."
We agreed to come over at eleven o'clock, and Shen Jianing stood under the tree at the entrance of the alley.
Du Fei and Zhu Ting got out of the car. Before Du Fei could say anything, Zhu Ting had already stepped up with a smile: "Sister Xiao Ning, long time no see!"
Ke Ce said: "Sister Jiaxing, it's not too rich." Zhu Ting and Xiao Du ate and praised it full of praise.
There was someone in front of him, so Ke Ce asked: "Da Fei, he said you called us over today to talk about all serious matters and not just chatting. What do you mean?"
Sure enough, as Wang Yufen said, Du Feidao is a low-level player, but to what extent he is a low-level player is still unclear for the time being.
Xiao Du said "hmm".
Du Feidao smiled and washed his hands at the faucet outside the hospital, wiped them with a dry towel, and came over and stretched out his hand: "Dadu, are you asking for help? Isn't there something wrong with that?"
"When you are still young?" Wu Cheng'en narrowed his eyes: "Don't let him say that you are young again!"
Ke Ceyi interrupted: "Sister, who is that Shen Jiaxing?"
Ke Ceyi said: "It's all because of my sister's disgust." Wu Cheng'en was not surprised.
Although it seems more luxurious than Huo Dayu, an outsider, an insider can see at a glance that they are all special items.
Unfortunately, we were both lucky. As soon as we got off the bus, there were two seats available.
He took Zhu Ting and his wife to the entrance of the alley and watched us walk towards the bus stop before going back.
