Accidentally Born in the ‘60s: (Catch bugs)

Here, the old Li family was happily eating dinner. The next door, Xi Junjie, was sitting on pins and needles. As soon as he came home, Xi Changbo stared at Xi Junjie with great interest, and he saw a white face as black. Face. After finishing the meal, Xi Junjie helped to clean up the dishes, and couldn't wait to escape back to the small courtyard where he lived alone, but even so, he still didn't get rid of his tail.

"Dad!" Looking at Xi Changbo who followed him into the room, Xi Junjie cried out in anger: "What do you want to do?"

Xi Changbo was holding a purple sand teapot, and looked at Xi Junjie happily: "I just want to see why my son has changed his temper? It's unprecedented to smile so brightly at people who are not familiar with it. Come back."

"What kind of change? I'm not like this all the time." Xi Junjie sat on the table, took out the magazines he subscribed from his schoolbag with a blank face, turned on the lamp on the table, and looked like he was studying seriously.

Xi Changbo was lying on the desk, raised the teapot and took a sip of tea, then sneered and looked at Xi Junjie: "acting in front of me? You underestimate your father too."

Lazy stretched, Xi Changbo walked with the teapot to the tea table next to him and sat down, rinsed the kettle, filled a pot of spring water from Xishan from the barrel next to him, and plugged in the electricity. After fiddling with the tea set on the tea tray.

The hot water boiled, and Xi Changbo quickly washed the tea. The first and second teas were used to rinse the small teapot, and the third tea was poured out slowly by Xi Changbo.

Having a sip of tea and seeing Xi Junjie who seems to be engrossed in studying at the table, Xi Chang Bolton is bored: "You can't rest when you get home after studying for a week? Come and tell me a few words. Say it."

Xi Junjie paused, closed the magazine helplessly, got up and sat opposite Xi Changbo, washed himself a cup of tea and poured a cup of tea: "What do you want to talk about."

Xi Changbo was immediately amused, and winked at his son with gossip: "Why are you so enthusiastic about your Uncle Li next door?"

"Is there?" Xi Junjie smiled lightly: "I don't always treat your friends like this."

"It doesn't feel the same." Xi Changbo thought back and said firmly: "You are just polite to others, the corners of your mouth are bent at most 30 degrees, with obvious alienation. You are so enthusiastic, you can't wait to grin behind your ears, tell Dad the truth, do you like the little girl from the Li family next door?"

Xi Junjie lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea: "What little girl?"

"Huh? You really don't know him?" Xi Changbo looked at him in surprise: "It's the tall, thin, fair-skinned one with big eyes that smiles whenever you look at it. The very beautiful little girl."

Listening to Xi Changbo's compliment that Zhen Zhen was beautiful, Xi Junjie's expressionless face couldn't hold back for a moment, and he couldn't stop the smile on his face, so he hurriedly lowered his head and drank tea to cover it up. After pouring three cups of tea in a row, Xi Junjie was finally able to control his facial expressions, and then he looked up at Xi Changbo blankly: "Ah?"

Xi Changbo looked at him speechlessly: "You can really pretend."

Suddenly, a series of footsteps came, and Xi Junjie stood up quickly. Xi Junjie's mother, Ling Xiulan, came in from the door. Looking at the appearance of her husband and son, Ling Xiulan knew that her husband was fine on time and made fun of her son.

"What are you two talking about?" Ling Xiulan sat next to Xi Changbo, Xi Junjie immediately raised his head, and said before Xi Changbo spoke, "Tell me about the final exam last semester, I got the first place in our French major. , won a first-class scholarship.”

"It's not bad." Ling Xiulan looked at him with a smile. Although Xi Junjie often got all the best grades when he was studying in France, he was able to go back to China and get the first place in one of the top universities in China. First-class scholarships are something to be proud of.

Xi Changbo also had a proud smile on his face when he heard Xi Junjie's grades, but when he thought of his son not chatting with him, his mouth became a lot meaner: "He has been in France for so many years, if he can't take the test again The first is shameful."

Ling Xiulan glanced at him angrily: "How can you say that to a child, this French major is not just learning French. You, you don't know how to praise children."

As soon as Xi Changbo sneered, he saw Xi Junjie calmly raise his head, and calmly added: "I got second in the international relations major."

Xi Changbo then smiled contentedly: "I just said, my son's designation is not bad, but you did well in both majors, so why did you get the first-class scholarship? I remember that your school doesn't have a special scholarship? "

Xi Junjie paused, and then said: "There are only three special scholarships, and a girl is among the best in all three majors. Overall, her grades are better than mine. She won a special scholarship; the other is law. A major student, he is not only the first in their majors, but also the founder and president of the student council of our school; the last one who won the special scholarship was founded on the basis of excellent academic performance The largest community on campus.”

Xi Changbo nodded convinced after hearing this: "When you arrive at the university, you will not only consider students' grades, but also team building and student union work are still very important. This is also an important starting point for you to expand your future contacts. Don't just keep your head down. To study, we still need to participate in some activities.”

"That's right, what your dad said is right." Ling Xiulan sat next to the apple and finished peeling the apple, then cut a few pieces and placed them in a small plate: "Besides, there are many little girls in the student union and clubs who are working The more you have contact with China, the more you know what your character is like, you should have a relationship in college."

Ling Xiulan spent a few years in France, which is famous for its romance. She was very influenced by the open-mindedness there. She always felt that Xi Junjie was too strict with herself. Ling Xiulan was a little worried when she thought that her son, who was almost twenty years old, had never liked a girl.

Looking at Xi Junjie's serious expression, Ling Xiulan didn't say much, because Xi Junjie has been so good-looking since he was a child, whether his classmates or elders saw him, they liked to touch his face for a long time. After Xi Junjie, he developed the habit of showing a straight face when he saw everyone. Even in front of Xi Changbo and Ling Xiulan, every time he was teased/played by the two, Xi Junjie would still have a black face in disgrace.

While eating apples, she looked at Xi Junjie's room curiously, and suddenly Ling Xiulan was attracted by the row of dignified orchids in front of the window. She saw that each pot of orchids was very graceful and elegant. After a lot of hard work, he was suddenly surprised: "When did you move the orchids home? They look so good! Hey, what species are these? I've never seen them before."

Xi Junjie has a strong sense of territory since he was a child. When he is not at home, Xi Changbo and Ling Xiulan never come to his room. Usually, Xi Junjie takes care of the room by himself. Ling Xiulan felt that she had only been here for two or three months, so why did her son have one more hobby.

Growing flowers and birds in Xi's house is what Ling Xiulan loves to do. In the past, in Xi Junjie's house, apart from tea, there were books, such as flowers and grasses, which were never moved into the house.

Looking at the pots of orchids with different postures, Ling Xiulan looked at Xi Junjie with a little smugness: "Did your taste improve under the influence of your mother all day?"

Remembering the group of wild ducks in the pond in the garden, Xi Junjie didn't say a word. He tasted the tea a little weaker, and then boiled a pot of water to make tea again.

Xi Junjie changed new tea for Xi Changbo and Ling Xiulan: "The orchid sent by a friend, so no matter how much you like it, I can't give it to you." Seeing Ling Xiulan's frustrated look, Xi Junjie kindly offered a suggestion : "Mom, if you have nothing to do, you should raise a few more ducks, or enrich the breeds. I think pigeons and pheasants are good."

Ling Xiulan smiled immediately: "No, we want to go together. I just bought a batch of pigeons the day before yesterday and are going to put them back in the backyard, but your grandfather saw the pigeons I bought and said I bought the wrong ones. , I bought them into meat pigeons. I think I don't really want pigeons to deliver letters, and meat pigeons and carrier pigeons don't matter, just keep them in the garden as a wild fun."

"Meat pigeon?" Xi Junjie raised his eyebrows: "Are you fat?"

***

At five in the morning, Xi Junjie turned off the alarm, heated a pot of hot water, and started getting dressed. After October, the morning in the imperial capital was a bit cold. Xi Junjie put on his clothes and brushed his teeth and face with hot water. He also didn't forget to wipe some men's moisturizer in front of the mirror.

Looking at the watch on his wrist, it was just 5:12 when Xi Junjie opened the door and saw that the sky was turning white, so he walked towards the garden and waited until 5:29 before Xi Junjie left. When the backyard ran to the gate, there was already a huge cage in his hand. Looking at the closed door, Xi Junjie put down the cage, opened the plug of the door, opened the door and found that Li Mingzhen was already waiting outside.

Xi Junjie smiled brightly and handed over the cage in his hand: "I bought a lot of meat pigeons at home and can't eat them all, you can try them."

If you take something from Xi Junjie, you have to return it as a gift. Remembering that you have already given Xi Junjie a lot of orchids, it feels a bit repetitive to give it again. Zhen Zhen thought about it for a while and suddenly her eyes lit up: "I built an oven myself during the summer vacation, and I'm just going to try it today. If it's ready, please try it."

Xi Junjie nodded in surprise when he heard that he could eat the dishes that Li Mingzhen made by himself, looking at Zhen Zhen with a look of anticipation and pursing his lips.

Put a cage of pigeons in the concierge, Zhen Zhen and Xi Junjie continued to run around Beiyang according to the habit they developed during the summer vacation. Seeing that the sky was already bright, Zhen Zhen stopped and smiled apologetically: "Today I'm going to the market to see if there is any fresh poultry, so I can't practice dialogue with you."

"It doesn't matter. Speaking of which, I've lived here for so long, and I still don't know where to buy vegetables." Xi Junjie's original intention was to spend alone time with Zhen Zhen, it doesn't matter what he does. : "If you don't mind, can I accompany you? You can also lead me to see and see, and I can also help you carry some things."

"Yes!" While taking Xi Junjie to the market, Zhen Zhen had already seen all the nearby places selling vegetables with her consciousness. Clearly.

Zhen Zhen originally built a stove in the garden, because the two wild ducks that Xi Junjie gave at the beginning suddenly gave her the idea of ​​making roast ducks at home. It's just that the weather was hot at that time, and I was learning how to cook medicated meals with Mr. Zhang. The two ducks finally made soup, so the built stove has been idle.

When she came to the market, Zhen Zhen didn't stop at the hawkers outside, she took Xi Junjie straight to the innermost place selling poultry. A middle-aged man was selling here with a cage of white ducks, with three poultry tethered beside him.

Although it was a handsome couple of young men and women who came to get the poultry, the middle-aged man was still very sincere and didn't ask for inflated prices. Zhen Zhen bought three white ducks and two roosters, and they didn't let them kill them. He tied his legs and stuffed it into a wicker basket given by the stall owner. Xi Junjie looked at this wicker basket with two handles, one on the left and one on the right, and immediately reached out to hold one, and said impatiently, "I'll carry it back with you."

After breakfast, the lakeside in Beiyang became lively again. Li Muwu came out with a fishing rod and a bucket. When he went to the riverside where he often sat, he did not rush to get off the fishing rod, but now he is looking for the fishing crowd nearby. I walked around to see if there was any sign of Xi Changbo.

Xi Changbo came out a little late today, because Ling Xiulan eagerly went to see the meat pigeons she bought in the morning, but she counted and found that there were ten less pigeons, so she bought 15 pigeons in total, and this time they lost them Also too much.

When Ling Xiulan was looking for the weasel with a feather duster, Xi Junjie drank the last sip of milk in the cup, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said calmly, "I took the pigeon."

Ling Xiulan was relieved when she heard that there were no weasels at home. She put the feather duster in the vase and sat across from Xi Junjie, looking at him curiously: "What are you doing with meat pigeons?"

Xi Junjie put down his handkerchief and stood up, looking at Ling Xiulan calmly: "It's a gift."

"Just give it away." Ling Xiulan said indifferently: "I just happened to buy a few carrier pigeons back."

Ling Xiulan didn't care about this matter, but Xi Changbo always felt that there was something inside, so he chased and asked Xi Junjie for a long time, but Xi Junjie didn't tell him a word. .

Seeing the figure of Xi Changbo from a distance, Li Muwu waved to him excitedly. Xi Changbo put Maza next to Li Muwu and looked at Li Muwu curiously while sorting out the fish food: "Why are you so happy today?"

Li Muwu felt that it was too bland to tell Zhen Zhen's grades directly, and it was a bit of a foreshadowing. He pretended to shake his head deeply, and then said slowly: "This is not listening to my daughter reading French in the yard early in the morning, I'm glad she knows how to study."

"French?" Xi Changbo looked at him in surprise: "Your daughter is not a journalism major?"

Seeing that Xi Changbo was really interested in this topic, Li Muwu couldn't wait to say: "My daughter has taken three majors, in addition to journalism, there are French and classics..." Professional name, who knows that it is still stuck in the morning.

"Department of Economics?" Xi Changbo asked tentatively.

"Yes, the Department of Economics." Li Muwu patted his head with a smile: "Look at my memory, I can't even put my words out of my mouth."

"If it's a French major..." Xi Changbo smiled proudly: "My son's French major took the first place."

The fishing man next to him immediately turned his head and smiled and said, "It's amazing to get the first place in Imperial College, Lao Xi, you have to celebrate for your son when you go home."

"You don't know this kid's temper, so he doesn't want to do those messy activities." Xi Changbo replied proudly.

Seeing that Xi Changbo had started chatting with people, and his daughter had not had time to show off, Li Muwu was in a hurry: "What, my daughter also took the first place in the journalism exam." Seeing everyone's surprised eyes , Li Muwu didn't even care about selling out, he said all the words in his stomach in one breath: "I also won a special scholarship."

"It turns out that the recipient of the special scholarship that Junjie said was your daughter." Xi Changbo suddenly laughed: "Last night, my Junjie also mentioned this..." Halfway through the sentence, Xi Changbo felt later. Thinking of it, Xi Junjie didn't look like he didn't know the girls of the Li family during the day. This is obviously a major and he knew that he had won a scholarship, so how could he not know him? This stinky boy must be fooling me again.

At this time, Xi Changbo didn't even think about fishing anymore, he put the fishing rod aside and moved the bench to be closer to Li Muwu: "I said, Lao Li, your daughter's sincerity is incredible. , you must not congratulate her. Speaking of which, we are next to each other, I haven't visited your house yet."

It is common for neighbors to visit each other for dinner in the Beicha neighborhood, so Li Muwu agreed: "Today at noon, come to my house for dinner, bring your wife and children, and have a lively together!"

"Okay!" Xi Changbo stood up: "I'll go home and tell my wife, and ask her to prepare some gifts for the elderly."

"Don't be so troublesome, it's just a meal." Seeing Xi Changbo's hurried departure, Li Muwu scratched his head a little uncomfortable: "Why are you being polite?"

Xi Changbo hurriedly entered the house, put the fishing rod and bucket aside, and walked directly to the backyard, pulling Ling Xiulan, who was watering the flowers, and said, "You clean up, we'll go to Li's house next door for lunch."

Although I know that my husband often fishes with the people next door, Ling Xiulan is still a little surprised when he suddenly said that he is going to eat at someone's house: "What is the reason for this? What gifts do I want to prepare?"

Xi Changbo hesitated before saying, "It's richer. The girl next door is also from Imperial College, the girl who got the special gold."

As soon as she heard that there was a girl next door, Ling Xiulan immediately regained her energy. She stopped watering the flowers and feeding the ducks. She hurried back to the main room and spent more than half an hour dressing up. , and prepared a generous gift.

Taking advantage of Ling Xiulan's eyebrows and makeup, Xi Changbo went to Xi Junjie's house to inform him that he was going to a private family dinner. Because he often participates in such activities with Xi Changbo, Xi Junjie changed into a set of casual clothes, and his whole body showed a free and easy appearance.

When the mother and son were ready, Xi Changbo led them out the door. While Xi Junjie was thinking about why he didn't drive out, he saw Xi Changbo knock on the knocker of the next door a few times: "Old Li, let's come. !”

Xi Junjie: "..."
