With a Door In Mind

The next morning, Qin Xiao came over early in the morning.

The little guy rubbed his sleepy eyes, "Sister Xiaoxiao, you came here too early."

Zhou Xiaochuan knocked her on the head, "Look, it's so early, the sun is already drying my ass."

The summer sun comes out early, and the sun has already shone into the yard at this time.

Hearing the words, the little guy made a soft sound, and hurried to wash up.

After finishing, several people went out.

On this day, I visited some of the more famous places in Kyoto.

Tian*men went back to take a few more photos.

Tian*men, Wangfujing, Prince Gong's Mansion, Railway Station, Great Hall, Temple of Heaven Park.

It is too late to go to the remaining Summer Palace, Old Summer Palace and the Great Wall.

Because the distance is relatively long.

I can only come here again when I have the opportunity.

The price is that more than 20 film rolls are used, and there are only about 50 film rolls left in the space.

This is the result of his sparing use.

Good guy, after counting this, including the ten films that were taken before, the total is close to one thousand.

Damn, who can I find to wash him with so many.

Dozens of them are about the same, and thousands of them are too nonsense.

If you go to wash it, you must not be arrested.

Moreover, the photos at this time are very expensive to be developed, and a one-inch ID photo costs 30 cents.

A normal 5-inch, palm-sized photo costs 2 yuan and 7 cents a piece.

One thousand sheets cost more than two thousand yuan. It seems that the smaller courtyard houses in Kyoto are now at this price.

It was almost four o'clock at this time.

Qin Xiao rubbed the soles of her sore feet,

Looking at Zhou Xiaochuan, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Brother Xiaochuan, I'll go to grandpa's for dinner later, shall you go with me?"

Hearing what she said, Zhou Xiaochuan hesitated a little, "It's not appropriate for me to go with Xiaomi."

"It's okay, it's just a meal. I'll be back after eating." Qin Xiao said indifferently, but at this moment her hands were pinching the corners of her clothes.

Zhou Xiaochuan naturally saw her movements, thought for a while, and nodded, "That's fine, we'll come back after dinner."

Hearing Zhou Xiaochuan's words, Qin Xiao was relieved.

Thinking of something, his face suddenly turned red.

Seeing this, Xiaomi asked strangely, "Sister Xiaoxiao, why are you blushing so much, are you feeling unwell?"

Qin Xiao was a little flustered when she heard the words, "Oh, no...no, I...maybe it's too hot."

Zhou Xiaomi let out a soft voice when he heard the words.

When I came back by bus, there was a military vehicle parked in the guest house.

Seeing Zhou Xiaochuan and the others coming, the other party got out of the car and walked over without much expression on his face.

"Comrade Qin, I'm here to pick you up."

Qin Xiao nodded upon hearing this.

This person, Qin Xiao knew, was the guard next to his father.

Seeing this, Qin Xiao said, "Then wait for me, I'm sweating all over, I'll take a shower, I'll be here soon."

Hearing the words, the other party nodded and returned to the car.

Without delay, a few people washed up casually and came out.

Qin Xiao pulled Xiaomi, and Zhou Xiaochuan followed behind with a cloth bag in his hand.

Seeing this, the other party raised one hand and said with a blank face: "Comrade Qin, I'm sorry, the order I received is for two people. The other one is a gay man surnamed Zhou."

Zhou Xiaochuan frowned when he heard the words, and said to Qin Xiao lightly: "Xiaoxiao, you go alone. Don't trouble others. Me and Xiaomi won't go."

After finishing speaking, he called out to Xiaomi, "Xiaomi, come back!"

The little guy let go of Qin Xiao's hand and left after hearing the words.

Qin Xiao became anxious when she heard the words, and quickly tightened Xiaomi's hand, "Wait a minute."

After finishing speaking, she turned around, "We're going to go with three people, otherwise I don't have to go."

The other party hesitated for a moment.

Soldiers take obedience to orders as their bounden duty. If they can't take over others, it will be difficult for them to explain themselves.

Seeing this, Qin Xiao continued, "It's okay, I will take responsibility for anything that happened to Qin Yaozu."

Hearing Qin Xiao call the chief's name directly, he frowned, but thinking of the relationship between the two, he didn't say anything.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded.

Then Qin Xiao looked at Zhou Xiaochuan behind him.

Seeing Qin Xiao's begging expression, Zhou Xiaochuan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

He is used to being free, and the other party is not his leader, so there is no need to be used to it. This is not about the person in front of you.

It was Qin Xiao's father.

After all, the other party is just a driver following orders.

However, he felt that the biggest possibility was that old man Qin didn't make it clear when he went back. After all, there was no need to embarrass him for such a small matter.

People who can do great things, no matter good or bad, still need a pattern.

Seeing Zhou Xiaochuan's expression, Qin Xiao was relieved.

The three got into the jeep.

Zhou Xiaochuan glanced at it, the car was not too old. But it has been used for a long time. Not as good as the one in my own space.

Cars are driving on the streets of Kyoto.

Came to the gate of a compound and stopped.

The door was guarded by two armed men.

When the other party saw the car, he didn't stop it and let it go.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked outside through the window, rows of new single-family courtyards. It looks a bit like a shrunken version of a courtyard house.

It's just that there are only courtyard walls on three sides of the courtyard, and there is no front yard, backyard, side room and ear room. It's just a normal courtyard.

There is a certain distance from each courtyard. About forty or fifty meters.

The road is also hardened concrete road.

On the road through the forest, it stopped at the gate of a small yard.

After the other party delivered Qin Xiao, he drove away in a car.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked around, this place is the real city center, the environment is really peaceful, quiet amidst the hustle and bustle.

Qin Xiao glanced at Zhou Xiaochuan next to him, "Let's go, this is here."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words, but he thought of something, so he asked, "Did you live here when you came here? Or a guest house?"

He asked this to see how far Qin Xiao and his family have reached.

Qin Xiao said softly, "Oh, no, I live in a guest house, and there is no money there anyway."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded, this is no progress.

Seeing this, Qin Xiao came to the gate of the yard and knocked lightly a few times.

After a while, an aunt in her fifties came out wearing an apron.

The other party opened the courtyard door, saw Qin Xiao outside, and immediately said in surprise, "It's Xiaoxiao!"

Qin Xiao politely shouted, "Aunt Zhang!"

"Hey, okay, come in quickly. The old man and the chief are waiting inside."

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Xiaochuan behind him.

It should have been greeted, and he didn't take offense, and nodded to Zhou Xiaochuan with a smile.

Several people entered the house.

The floor is concrete, and the walls are made of red brick and cement, with a layer of white paint on it.

In the main room is a square table with eight immortals, and there are several sofas beside it. Covered with a sofa cover.

There is a low table like a coffee table in the center, and the old man is sitting on the sofa playing chess.

Sitting opposite was a middle-aged man in his forties, who looked somewhat similar to Qin Xiao.

The upper body is wearing a short-sleeved sweatshirt, and the trousers are beige military trousers.

On a thin face, with a straight nose, thin lips, and sword-like eyebrows flying slantingly into a few strands of black hair under the corners of the temples.

Looks very heroic.

Zhou Xiaochuan took a look, and it seemed that Qin Xiao's pretty face might not be drinking from the spring.

It's totally genetic.

The two who were playing chess heard movement. look up.

"Hey, good granddaughter, it's finally here, Xiao Chuan, hurry up and sit down."

Old man Qin stood up and greeted them with a smile.

Behind Qin Xiao's father, Qin Yaozu stood up and nodded to Zhou Xiaochuan.

Seeing this, Qin Xiao ran to Grandpa's side.

Zhou Xiaochuan pulled Xiaomi, put the things on the table, and greeted the two of them, "Hello, old man, hello, Uncle Qin!"

Xiaomi also called out politely.

Qin Yaozu nodded to him, then looked at the things on the table, "Xiao Chuan, right? I often hear the old man mentioning you, so don't bring anything with you next time."

After the other party finished speaking, he yelled inside, "Sanfeng, come out for a while. There are guests coming."

"Oh yes."

A voice came from the room, and a figure stepped out from inside.

He is much younger than Qin Yaozu, probably in his mid-thirties.

Short hair up to the ears. The face is slightly round.

A plaid shirt with black overalls underneath.

After the other party came out, seeing Qin Xiao, he immediately smiled and said, "Oh, Xiaoxiao is here. Sit down for a while. I'll pour water for you."

After finishing speaking, he smiled at Zhou Xiaochuan next to him, "This is Xiaochuan, please sit down."

Qin Yaozu looked at the door of his daughter-in-law's room, frowned and said, "Where's Serena? Someone is coming to the house, don't you want to come out and say hello?"

After finishing speaking, he yelled inside, "Serena, come out quickly."

Sanfeng smiled upon hearing this, "Serena is doing homework."

Qin Yaozu said expressionlessly: "When I was in school, I didn't see him serious, but he started to get busy after the holiday."

"Dad, can you just stop talking? You talk about me when I'm not reading, and you still talk about me when I'm reading." While talking, a boy walked from inside.

He is about 1.5 meters tall and about the same age as Xiaomi.

His appearance is somewhat similar to that of Qin's father, and he will probably be a handsome guy when he grows up.

After the other party came out, he reluctantly called out to Qin Xiao, "Sister Xiaoxiao."

It's okay not to shout, otherwise he will be beaten by his father again.

Qin Xiao nodded when she heard the words, but did not speak.

Sun Sanfeng brought out three teacups from the room. The cups were made of white porcelain with a peony flower on them.

"Come, drink tea. You're welcome, take it yourself."

After speaking, he put the quilt in his hand on the table.

Qin Xiao didn't move.

Zhou Xiaochuan took the cup and thanked him, put it in his hand for a while, and then put it in front of him again.

He still knows the basic etiquette.

Qin Xiao ignored them and talked to the old man on his own.

Qin Yaozu also knew that his daughter didn't want to see him, so he didn't ask her face to face.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked at Father Qin who hadn't smiled since the beginning.

This face is too serious, most people probably come under a lot of pressure.

Qin Yaozu and his wife didn't speak, they just looked at Qin Xiao like this, and Qin Xiao only cared about nestling beside the old man.

As for Qin's father's son, Xiaowei, he looked curiously at Zhou Xiaochuan's brother and sister.

Zhou Xiaochuan glanced at the military uniforms hanging on the clothes rack, which made his eyes shrink.

Add a five-pointed star to the pine branch.

This level is not low, and what surprised him was that Qin's father took this seat at the age of over forty years old.

The future is limitless.

The important thing is that Father Qin is very young.

Probably feeling that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Qin's father asked, "Xiao Chuan, I'll call you like that. Thank you so much these past few years. If it weren't for you, I really don't worry about Xiaoxiao being there alone."

Hearing his words, Zhou Xiaochuan smiled, "It's nothing, everyone has difficulties."

Qin's father nodded when he heard the words, pointed to a chess game on the tea table, and said, "Will you? How about a game of chess?"

Zhou Xiaochuan thought for a while, and it was a bit awkward to just sit like this.

Then he nodded, "Okay, but I don't know much about it."

"It's okay, just play a few games."

After speaking, he began to set up the chess pieces, and Zhou Xiaochuan also set up the chess pieces after seeing this.

This chess piece was given to the old man himself.

The paint on the original words has almost fallen off, and now it is painted with new paint.

It looks antique and feels very comfortable.

Father Qin asked while placing the chess pieces: "What are you doing now? I heard from the old man that you work in the technical department of the factory?"

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded upon hearing the words, "Yes, but it's gone now."

The old man Qin was talking to Qin Xiao, and he was surprised when he heard the words, "What's going on?"

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled, "Oh, it's nothing, just give up the job to the little guy. This way it will be convenient for me to go anywhere."

After speaking, he looked at Xiaomi next to him.

At this time, Xiaomi was pressing the sofa with his hand, and felt that this thing was very strange. It's so comfortable to sit on.

Looking up, several people looked at her, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and stopped their movements.

The others immediately understood what it meant when they heard the words.

Qin's father nodded, "Yes! This is also a good way."

Sun Sanfeng was surprised when he heard this and said, "Then you are going to the countryside?"

"En." Zhou Xiaochuan nodded upon hearing this.

I don't know if it's my illusion, but when the two of them heard that they were going to the countryside, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the few people turned their attention to Qin Xiao again.

But Qin Xiao didn't seem very willing to talk to them.

Zhou Xiaochuan plays the red chess, the red comes first and then the black.

Generally red is for novices or guests.

It's also a courtesy.

The opponent is an old chess player, and his chess strength is quite strong.

It didn't take long for Zhou Xiaochuan to be hit by Huanglong.

But as time went on, it became more and more difficult for Qin's father to win against Zhou Xiaochuan.

When the last game of chess was over, Zhou Xiaochuan narrowly won.

Father Qin dropped the chess piece in his hand, and looked at him in surprise, "You really didn't know much before?"

"Well, I don't have anyone to accompany me, so I play very little."

Qin's father nodded when he heard the words, "Okay, let's play another game."

This game took a long time, because Father Qin had to think for a long time every time he took a step.

And Zhou Xiaochuan is getting more and more relaxed. There is almost no need to think about each move.

The main reason is that the opponent is too slow, giving him enough time to think.

At this time, black chess has moved towards desperation.

"Jingle Bell……"

A phone call came over, which resolved Father Qin's embarrassment.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked at Xiaomi next to him. Seeing the other party touching the sofa, he whispered, "This is a sofa, the top is covered with sponge, and there are springs under it. Is it comfortable to sit on?"

Xiaomi nodded upon hearing this. "Yeah, it's really comfortable to sit on."

While talking, Aunt Zhang brought up the dishes.

Father Qin came back from the phone call, saw the situation, and greeted a few people, "Okay, let's eat first. Talk while eating."

There was no mention of the unfinished chess game just now.

Zhou Xiaochuan was also very happy, after all, it doesn't look good if you win too much.

After hearing the words, everyone sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals.

There are quite a few dishes.

Braised pork, and pork belly.

Braised carp.

Shredded pork with celery.

Fried peanuts

Toon scrambled eggs.

Cold preserved eggs.

Sea cucumber squid hot.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked at the dishes on the table. I was taken aback for a moment, not because the food was so good.

Although this dish is already considered a very high standard in this era.

Even at Qin's father's level, if there is a special offer, he can eat meat once or twice a week at most.

This is already difficult for ordinary people to do.

Of course, those moths don't count.

But it's still nothing to Xiao Zhou.

He was stunned, why didn't he think of getting some tofu mixed with toon. Add some sesame oil to this thing, it tastes delicious.

But this Chinese toon looks like it has been pickled. Not fresh.

There are also preserved eggs, which I never thought of getting.

Seeing this, Serena looked proud, "The food is okay. We can eat once a week."

Old man Qin blushed when he heard this, and coughed lightly.

It's embarrassing now, of course he can't tell others about Zhou Xiaochuan.

After all, this is related to Zhou Xiaochuan's safety.

This is Zhou Xiaochuan's secret.

Isn't it uncomfortable to show off in front of Zhou Xiaochuan with food?

Qin's father took out a bottle of Moutai from the house, and without asking Zhou Xiaochuan if he would drink it, he poured half a glass into the white porcelain cup in front of him.

About two or two or so.

"I don't know how much you can drink. I'll pour it later when it's not enough."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words, "Okay, I don't drink very well, this is enough."

At the dinner table, Qin's father and his wife brought food to Qin Xiao, but Qin Xiao didn't pick it up. Instead, he took care of the food in the meal.

Father Qin sighed when he saw this.

Seeing this, Sun Sanfeng suddenly said, "Xiaoxiao, is the money enough? If not, ask Yaozu to give you more in the future."

Qin Xiao paused when she heard the words, but said lightly: "Enough."

Zhou Xiaochuan listened beside him, and if he didn't pay attention to Sun Sanfeng's words, he felt nothing.

But the meaning in the words is that the money you usually spend on food and clothing belongs to your father. you can not do that.

But thinking about it, old man Qin and Qin Xiao didn't go to work.

The money was naturally paid by Qin's father.

But it's a little bad to use this to manipulate Qin Xiao.

But Qin Xiao used the money from Qin's father since he was a child, so there is nothing wrong with what he said.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little quiet.

Seeing this, Qin's father asked Zhou Xiaochuan casually, mainly about the situation at home.

Zhou Xiaochuan just answered him perfunctorily.

Serena was looking at the braised pork in the bowl, one piece after another.

Half of the braised pork that was not much in the first place went into his stomach.

The little guy ate a fish there, and occasionally ate a little scrambled eggs with Chinese toon and shredded pork with celery.

As for the braised pork, she is not so greedy now.

Girls are girls.

When there is oil and water in the stomach, most of the fat is not particularly interested.

She didn't even dare to touch sea cucumbers.

Like a bug.

Sun Sanfeng saw that the few people didn't pick up the braised pork very much, and thought they were all embarrassed.

Seeing that most of the braised pork went into his son's stomach, he couldn't bear to scold him.

Then he took a piece for each of Qin Xiao and the others. "Come and eat meat."

But when she just prepared the sea cucumber for the little guy.

The little guy hurriedly covered his rice bowl with his hands, and said embarrassedly: "Auntie, I don't eat sea cucumbers."

Sun Sanfeng smiled when he heard the words, "The little guy actually knows sea cucumbers. This is a good thing. Old Qin, he only has a ration of a few catties a year. This is from last year until now."

But seeing Zhou Xiaomi's head shaking like a rattle, he had no choice but to give up.

"That's fine, you can pick what you like to eat."

"Okay, Auntie." After Xiaomi finished speaking, he took a piece of squid from the pan and put it in his mouth.

Seven people, seven dishes, is too much, and they eat cleanly.

After dinner, Aunt Zhang, who had disappeared before, reappeared in the living room and took all the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen.

Sun Sanfeng brewed a cup of tea for everyone.

After saying hello, he returned to his room, saying that he had something to do.

Qin's father looked at Qin Xiao and said expressionlessly, "Xiaoxiao, move in and live at home."

Qin Xiao shook her head when she heard the words, "No need, the dormitory is pretty good."

Hearing her words, Father Qin was a little unhappy.

Old man Qin next to him said in a timely manner: "Okay, if Xiaoxiao wants to live in a dormitory, she can live in a dormitory. There are so many things."

Qin Yaozu was silent for a while, then nodded.

The atmosphere fell silent again in an instant.

Qin Xiao glanced at Zhou Xiaochuan, then said to Father Qin: "It's getting late, let's go back first."

After speaking, he got up and prepared to leave.

"Hey, you kid, can't you sit a little longer?"

Qin Xiao remained silent.

Seeing this, Father Qin sighed helplessly. "Wait a while, I'll ask Xiao Liu to take you back."

After speaking, he picked up the phone next to him and made a call.

After a while, the sound of a car came from outside.

Sun Sanfeng probably heard the movement, and brought his son out to see him off.

Before leaving, Qin's father still said without a smile: "It's fine if you don't want to come back to live. If you have nothing to do, come and have a meal. It's okay to see Grandpa."

Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Grandpa, I'll come to see you when the day is off."

A few people said hello, then got in the car and left.

Sun Sanfeng and the others went back to the house and looked at the things Zhou Xiaochuan brought. They hadn't left before, so it was a bit impolite to open them.

Now that Qin Xiao and the others left, she opened it and took a look.

Then with a look of surprise, he shouted to Father Qin: "Yaozu, come and have a look."

"What's wrong?" Qin Yaozu heard the words and came over.

I was surprised to see what was inside.

There are not many things, two catties of brown sugar, one catty of tea leaves, and three catties of dried sea cucumbers.

He opened the tea and looked at it, and was suddenly surprised, this is the best tea.

Even at my own level, I don't have half a catty in a year.

And the sea cucumber surprised him even more, the top quality sea cucumber was just like the one he ate at home.

Not on a level at all.

Qin Yaozu set his sights on old man Qin.

Seeing this, old man Qin glanced at him, "Here's it for you, just keep it, don't make a fuss."

After finishing speaking, he returned to his room.

After Zhou Xiaochuan left, he felt a little childish.

These years, I haven't pretended to be coercive, but today my brain got hot and I pretended.

Sea cucumber was naturally added by him later.

In fact, when I came here tonight, I didn't have the tit-for-tat confrontation as I imagined, nor did I have the cynicism of my stepmother.

Those plots in the TV series, how could it be so easy for him to come across them.

It was mainly because of the other party's tone, which made him uncomfortable.

What is it called: The little guy actually knows sea cucumbers! That thing is a good thing.

Does it mean that the little guy doesn't know the goods?

Do you really think my little guy is an idiot?
