Chinese entertainment for engineering students

When a fellow villager meets a fellow villager, his eyes are... full of confusion.

Zhang Guorong looked at Chen Baiqiang in front of him, his eyes widened and he felt like his eyeballs were about to fall off.

Chen Baiqiang was wearing a hand-knitted thick floral sweater and gray trousers. The trousers were full of wrinkles and felt a little bloated.

Her hair was messy, as if it hadn't been washed for half a month. At her feet were a pair of large blue plastic slippers and gray woolen socks.

This is still the same Chen Boqiang who is refined and elegant wherever he goes. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a Yankee who has just arrived in Hong Kong.

The two of them knocked on the door and entered the house. Chen Baiqiang did not look back. It was obvious that he was used to the custom of visiting here frequently, and he already had the aura of being unfazed by anyone who came.

"Xu Zai is here, is Fei okay? I didn't expect you to arrive so early. I thought you would have to come back in the evening?" Chen Baiqiang asked in a slow Hong Kong voice.

He was facing away from the entrance and didn't see the two people coming in. He only knew from the answer at the door that it was Wang Xu who had arrived.

Now Chen Baiqiang is very familiar with Wang Xu. Although he has only been here for more than half a month, he already regards Wang Xu as an old friend who has known him for many years.

Coupled with some of the habits of the imperial capital, Chen Baiqiang has been infected with some characteristics of the citizens of the imperial capital, such as laziness. When Wang Xu came in, he greeted him casually, but didn't even bother to turn around.

You know, in the first few days after he came, he had to entertain almost every guest who came, with a standard hospitable expression on his face and hypocritical politeness, which made him feel really Very hard.

Until Wang Xu personally demonstrated to him how people here lived, and took him to visit each neighbor's house, watching the guests arrive and the people in the house minding their own business.

The most I can do is turn around and shout to them: "There is boiling water on the stove, and the tea is in the cupboard. If you want to drink it, pour it yourself.", and then continue on by himself.

Chen Baiqiang was a little puzzled at first, but he was not a completely aristocratic person. After all, he was from a normal family. It was not uncommon for him to live in a more crowded and narrow living space than this in Xiangjiang.

The people over there don't really entertain guests when they come. They really don't have that skill.

Therefore, since he came, Chen Baiqiang worked very hard to adapt to it, just as if it was good to act in a movie.

Compared with Xiangjiang, life here is not that convenient. He is a very clean person, and the sanitary conditions here are simply terrible.

Not to mention taking a shower or brushing your teeth, you have to go to the yard. A group of people face each other and greet each other with foam at the mouth. It is funny and sad, but it also has a little bit of warmth.

He is a sensitive person, and he is completely able to understand and grasp the subtle emotions hidden in the market.

He has never experienced the lower-class life in Xiangjiang, but he also knows that Xiangjiang is different from here, because the lower-class life in Xiangjiang is too entangled with various gangs, and there is no peace at all in the courtyard here.

And from a work perspective, there are high-level song and dance troupe leaders, old ladies from poor households who have no job at all, sanitation workers, middle school teachers, government workers, and unemployed young people.

This is not something that can be described by three religions or nine schools, but there is a real feeling that no matter high or low, they are all gathered together.

In Xiangjiang, you won’t see a sweeper lady living next door to a company executive, but this is nothing new here.

According to Xiangjiang's comparison, Uncle Li next door is equivalent to a middle-level company, but the families in the inner courtyard are the most ordinary workers.

They live in the front and back yards, and the houses are about the same size. According to the regulations of the quadrangle, the inner courtyard is more upscale, but the people living in the inner courtyard are on the ground floor.

Of course, he didn't know about the chaos in the distribution of the miscellaneous courtyard back then. Those workers and Li Shulian's work units were not consistent, and each unit could only earn one thing.

There is no need to pay attention to the front and back yards. In addition, various sheds, kitchens and the like were built privately and randomly. This kind of place is now unified under the name of a large courtyard.

There are some differences in the food and clothing of these people, but there is no sense of barriers. Instead, they are very familiar with each other. It seems that their identities have really become blurred.

Chen Baiqiang just watched, learned, and observed, but at the same time he was adapting and changing. After about ten days, he suddenly felt that maybe this would be good.

Therefore, when Wang and Xu came in, they saw Chen Baiqiang turning on the coal stove in the center of the room.

A fire chopstick moved up and down in a very skillful manner. It wasn't until several coal holes were clear that Chen Baiqiang took a serious look at the flames.

The flames jumped upward, which was a sign that the fire had been restored, so he used the fire chopsticks to lift the fire lid and cover it, then poked at the fire door below, closed it slightly, and then sat the kettle next to it again. on top.

A set of procedures is not said to be smooth and smooth, but at least it is familiar and can be grasped by hand.

"You are so skilled. You learn so quickly. When I was a kid, I burned myself just by tossing this coal stove." Wang Xu looked at Chen Baiqiang's movements with emotion.

He took off his gloves, hung them on the small pole next to the coal stove, and covered his hands on the chimney.

"I'm smarter than you." Chen Baiqiang smiled and joked with Wang Xu, turned around, and then noticed Zhang Guorong who was still standing at the door in a daze.

"Leslie, why are you here?" Chen Baiqiang's eyes lit up. Seeing an old friend, he instantly abandoned his imperial style and switched directly back to Cantonese. He opened his arms and greeted Zhang Guorong.

"Long time no see, Danny. I heard that you are very ill this time. Xu Zai said you were recuperating here. Of course I want to come and see you. Are you feeling better?" Zhang Guorong hugged Chen Baiqiang tightly.

"It's much better. I've been in a much better mood recently." Chen Baiqiang's smile was particularly bright today. His friend came over to see him. How could he not be so cheerful?

"How are you feeling recently?" Zhang Guorong released the hug and looked at Chen Baiqiang's clothes in front of him, but he hesitated to speak.

"My clothes? Haha, it's cold in the imperial capital. It's not enough to just rely on a coal stove to keep warm here.

So I wore woolen pants underneath, but the pants I brought seemed too small.

The sweaters and trousers were all given by the elder brother in the backyard. He thought the clothes I brought were too thin, so he gave me the sweaters and trousers his wife had knitted for him. His wife even had a quarrel with her, which I heard here. Ha ha. "

Chen Baiqiang's sweater is a little too big for him. The man in the backyard is a boiler worker. He is tall and generous, but he is quite generous and a bit fond of poverty. His wife often quarrels with him about this.

However, Chen Baiqiang would definitely not get it for nothing. When he made a move, the gift in return was naturally very generous, and since then they have become more familiar with each other.

Sister Ying prepared a lot of gifts for Chen Baiqiang, which were not too extravagant and could bring them closer together, such as some Xiangjiang candies, chocolates, silk scarves, watches, skin care products and the like.

In fact, I bought them all from the Friendship Store. I was in a hurry when I arrived and I didn't even think of buying these, but it doesn't matter. They are all rare items for ordinary citizens anyway.
