In the living room of Xu Ping's house outside Wansheng Gate, Wang Gongchen sat in the guest seat and drank tea boredly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The afternoon sun shines in through the door, and it is still full of spring warmth, but before you know it, you are slowly starting to have the heat of the summer sun. It's just that in the pleasant spring breeze, there is something hidden that people can't feel it.

Pan Pan used a small bamboo pole full of colored threads, carried two fish tanks, held a small grasshopper cage in his left hand, and swayed around in his right hand, in front of Wang Gongchen, walked over in the living room. She was still humming a little song she made up herself, and others couldn't hear the words clearly, tilting her little head, and being content.

I don't know when I got tired of walking, Panpan got to the door, put the fish tank on my shoulder on the ground, let the sun shine on them, and bent down to look at it. The cage of the cicada in his hand shook gently on the top of the fish tank.

Turning his little head, Pan Pan asked Wang Gongchen: "Uncle Wang, do you say that the goldfish is good-looking, or is this red-eyed fish good-looking?" ”

Wang Gongchen smiled and said, "Do you still need to ask?" Naturally, goldfish are good-looking. Birds and insects are sold so expensively in the market! ”

"Not really!" Panpan listened to the answer, the plan succeeded, and he was busy showing off his knowledge and talking eloquently. "Daddy said, this goldfish, don't look at its red, if you put it in the river outside, it won't be a long time before the red on the body will be gone! This red-eyed fish is different, whether it is outside in the river or at home, its eyes are so red! It has to be raised by people to have color, but goldfish are not as good as red-eyed fish! ”

Where did Wang Gongchen know these things? I had no choice but to say: "Since it was Deputy Envoy Xu who said this, it must be like this." Panpan, the red-eyed fish you raise are good-looking. ”

Pan Pan raised his head: "Yes, this is specially caught by Daddy for me!" ”

After speaking, he squatted down and looked intently at the small fish in the fish tank.

In fact, Xu Ping is not sure whether the eyes of this red-eyed fish are always red, because there are also dark circles under the eyes, and it is also possible that the male and female will have different characteristics during the mating season of this fish, but this cannot be said to the child. But it is true that the color of goldfish will change after being released into the wild, and goldfish are domesticated by crucian carp, and when they are in the wild environment, they will slowly return to the appearance of the original wild crucian carp.

Pan Pan squatted and watched the fish for a while, rested, picked up the fish tank with a small flat pole, swayed around with the gnather cage, and whispered in a crisp voice: "I carried the burden, went to sell fish early in the morning, sold fish for copper money, and bought a bun to eat." ”

As he spoke, he walked around the living room, enjoying it.

Wang Gongchen looked at Panpan, and suddenly felt a burst of envy in his heart for no reason. When I am old, I should marry a wife and start a family, and maybe I can have such a daughter in the future, and I can happily immerse myself in my own world in front of myself. I hope that when that day comes, my daughter can be as innocent and lively and carefree as Panpan.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Pan Pan stopped, stretched out his ears to listen, and said with a smile: "It's Daddy back!" But I'm anxious to wait! ”

As he spoke, he ran quickly to the door while carrying his small flat burden, and at the same time held the fish tank tightly with his hands, for fear that the water inside would splash out and the gnat's cage almost fell to the ground.

As soon as Xu Ping entered the door, he saw Panpan standing in front of him, tilted his head and said seriously: "Daddy, I'm selling fish, I've sold a lot of copper coins, I'll buy you mutton to eat at night!" ”

Xu Ping smiled and asked, "Where is the copper coin?" ”

Pan Pan grinned and said, "In Pan Pan's heart"

Xu Ping bent down and took Panpan's hand, helped her hold the grub cage, and said: "Then slowly save in your heart, earn more interest, and when Daddy is old, you go to buy meat to honor me." ”

Panpan giggled, followed Xu Ping's side, and walked into the living room.

Wang Gongchen got up, saluted Xu Ping, and then sat down with the guests.

Xu Ping touched Panpan's little head and asked her, "You are here alone, do you bother Uncle Wang?" ”

"No, I still told Uncle Wang how to raise fish!"

Xu Ping patted Panpan and said to her: "You go to play outside the door alone, I have something to say to Uncle Wang." Wait until the evening, Daddy will play with you again, don't be naughty. ”

Pan Pan said crisply, walked away from Xu Ping, took up his little burden, turned his head to Xu Ping and said, "Daddy, look, that's how I sell fish!" ”

After speaking, humming a little song in his mouth, he staggered out of the hall door and into the courtyard.

Watching Panpan go out, Xu Ping said embarrassedly to Wang Gongchen: "A lifetime of children's debts, don't mind Jun Zhen." ”

"What did the deputy envoy say, I can't envy it!" Wang Gongchen sighed, "I don't know if I will have this blessing in the future, the family is harmonious and beautiful, and the children are sensible." ”

Xu Ping looked at Wang Gongchen and said strangely: "All of a sudden, why do you have such feelings?" ”

"In the past two days, Master Yan has secured a marriage for me, has the deputy envoy heard of it?"

Hearing this, Xu Ping smiled: "I heard, yesterday when I went to Wang Zhongyi's Zhuangzi, they also said that Master Yan had a banquet and made two matchmakers, Xue Shilang's second daughter will marry Ouyang Xiu, and the third daughter will marry you." Bachelor Yan is careful in his calculations, and he doesn't even invite a banquet once, which is a frugal matchmaker. ”

Seeing Wang Gongchen's listless look, Xu Ping hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, are you dissatisfied with this marriage?" Although Xue Shilang doesn't care about things now, he is still an old minister, and his family background does not disgrace you. ”

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's just that I'm a little dissatisfied, how to say it, I'm a little bit in my heart—" Wang Gongchen shook his head as he spoke, "Deputy Envoy, you also know that in my family, my brothers are still young, my mother is old, it is not easy to live in the capital, and my family has no money to spare." Who is Xue Shilang? Being close to his family, will I live on my father-in-law in the future? ”

"It turned out to be for this! What are you worried about, you are still young, and the future is bright. You are from a top background, and you are not Gao Pan to be close to Xue Shilang's family. As for money, you don't have to worry, I've got you covered. ”

"Deputy envoy, I can't rely on you!"

Xu Ping waved his hand: "I understand, a manly man, don't eat the food that comes from him." But then again, I didn't say I wanted to send you money, I just wanted to start a small business with you. ”

"Ah, what business?" Wang Gongchen was stunned for a moment, and his face immediately softened. For so many years, no matter what business he does, Xu Ping has never lost his capital, if the two are partners, they are actually helping themselves.

Xu Ping said: "A few days ago, when I came to my village, didn't I mention to you that there would be a snack bar in the newly opened field in the north of the city. It's a remote place, there are no restaurants, and now that there are more people, it's a good time to open a shop. ”
