Chapter 19: Christmas Eve Fruits
Chapter 119 Christmas Eve Peace Fruit
Huang Youzheng's anti-gambling work is in full swing, and Xu Fan also felt relieved and let him play his freely. Judging from his observations over the past few days, Huang Youzheng has indeed done a good job.
It is December 24th, and tomorrow is Christmas. Such foreign festivals have become popular in recent years. Snowflakes of big and small are sprayed on the glass of small shops on the street. Although there has not been a few snowfalls in Jinyuan County in history, who can make foreigners have this custom!
It happened to be Friday, so Christmas Eve was particularly lively. Before it was dark, the small county town was lively. After Xu Fan got off work, he went to pick up the two little guys from school. Although Huang Youzheng worked in Tianyan City most of the time, Huang's wife and her two children still lived in Jinyuan County. After all, Huang Youzheng's career was just beginning to start, and he was busy all day long and didn't have much time to take care of his family. He put Huang's wife and the other two in Jinyuan County, and Xu Fan could help take care of her. Before Xu Fan came, he called Huang's wife, so that she would not have to wait for the two little guys at home, and he would take the two little guys directly to Cao Ke'er's house.
As soon as I arrived at the school gate, I saw Xiaoshanzi and Sakurako surrounded by a large group of students. Although only a few months have passed, the two little guys are no longer able to tell that they are children from the countryside. Cao Ke'er would occasionally add some beautiful clothes to the two little guys. Since the last time we met, Iron Man often brought some popular things to him, which made the two little guys' status among classmates steadily rise!
"Brother Shanzi, today is Christmas Eve. How about we go out to play at night?"
"If you don't go, we will have to play with our godfather and godmother tonight!"
"What's the point of playing with adults? Why don't we go to the Internet cafe? Last time I sneaked into the Internet cafe and saw it. There were a lot of games there, which was very interesting! But in the end, the boss discovered it and drove it out!"
"What's so great about playing games? I often play on my godfather's computer. My godfather told me that as long as the junior high school grade is in the top 20, I will buy me a notebook!" After Xiaoshanzi finished speaking, she looked at her enviously when she saw other classmates, and continued, "But Sakura was in trouble. She had to enter the top 10 to have a notebook! Hehe!"
At this time, Sakurako pulled Xiaoshanzi from behind, "Brother, look, godfather is here!"
As soon as Xu Fan came, he greeted his classmates at the age of two, and ran towards Xu Fan with a "hihhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
When Xiao Shanzi heard Xu Fan's criticism, his little face suddenly became depressed, but when he thought that he was indeed a little proud, he said sincerely to Xu Fan: "Godfather, I know I was wrong, and I will definitely not be dazzling in the future!"
Xu Fan nodded with a smile. He also knew that this was the child's character. Just imagine that a child would not shine with his good things. The reason why he criticized him was to make his character purer. Don't start to become arrogant just because he was his godson.
"Godfather, don't scold me anymore. My brother is very nice to his classmates. My brother plays with the toys given by Uncle Tieman. There are many things he likes in it and they are all given to his classmates!" Sakurako also pleaded with him.
"Haha, good-working, a man, a real man, should be more generous!" Xu Fan patted Xiao Shanzi's mind, "Godfather criticized you for your own good! Let's go to your godmother's house!"
"Okay! Haha!" That's how the child was. He was just a bitter face, and now he was very happy.
After having dinner at Cao Keer's house, he went out with Cao Keer and his two little sisters. At this time, many snack stalls had appeared on the street. In fact, when the so-called Christmas Eve arrived in China, Chinese people did not take the real source of this festival to heart, but they could be lively as a festival.
Xu Fan and Cao Keer each held a little guy's hand, while the two little guys held their hands in the middle, and the four of them were walking side by side on the road, which looked like a young couple taking their children out to play.
Cao Ke'er smiled sweetly at this time. There were not many opportunities to go shopping with Xu Fan like this. Although there were two "little light bulbs", it was not a bad thing to have these two "little light bulbs" present, at least it could make the atmosphere more harmonious. From the pedestrians next to him, the role of the two little guys can be seen.
Most of the young men and women who came out to visit Christmas Eve were young men and women. In the past twenty minutes since they came out, Xu Fan had already met three pairs of young police officers in the police station. This is the case in the small county town. As long as you go to a place with more people, you will definitely meet acquaintances.
"Godfather, I saw a classmate, right there! I want to go over and say hello!" Xiao Shanzi pulled Xu Fan's hand and said.
Xu Fan looked up and saw that there was indeed a little girl selling apples on the street corner in front of her with a fruit basket. Well, it's Christmas Eve now, so it should be called "Ping An Fruit".
"Haha! Go!" Xu Fan smiled. Judging from the girl's clothes, she didn't look like a child from a poor family. She might have wanted to come out to exercise.
When Xiaoshanzi heard Xu Fan agree, he pulled Sakura to run over quickly and curiously around the little girl to ask questions.
Xu Fan and Cao Ke'er looked at each other and smiled. There were no two little guys between them. Xu Fan gently pulled Cao Ke'er's hand and felt that Cao Ke'er's hand was a little cold. He used the force to ease her meridians. Her little hand seemed to be baked by a small warming stove. After a while, it became warm.
"Let's go over and take a look!" Xu Fan pointed to Xiao Shanzi and said softly to Cao Keer. Xiao Shanzi and Xiao Sakurazi over there seemed to have joined the ranks of selling apples. They were holding a few apples and selling them to pedestrians on the street, as if they were not going to return to Xu Fan.
"Godfather, you can buy a 'Ping An Fruit' too!" Xiaoshanzi enthusiastically started selling it when she saw Xu Fan coming. So far, Sakurako has sold two "Ping An Fruits", but he has not sold any of them, which made him a little discouraged.
"Okay! I'll buy it, my godmother, you and Sakurako, one for each of them, but you can't just buy two from you, Sakurako also buy two from you!" Xu Fan smiled and took out 4 yuan and 8 cents and handed it to Xiaoshanzi.
"Haha! I'll give you 'Peace Fruit'!" Xiao Shanzi handed Xu Fan one, picked up an apple, tore open the exquisite packaging, and took a bite. He thought he was planning to eat his own portion into his stomach. Then he started selling it to others while gnawing on the apple. Perhaps because of his cute appearance, the business was very successful this time, and two were sold at once.
Xu Fan and Cao Keer were watching interestingly, and bought two from Sakurako, and came to the little girl who sold "Ping An Fruit" and asked in a harmonious voice: "Miss, how could I think of selling "Ping An Fruit" here?"
"Hello uncle! You two are Xiaoshanzi and Sakurako's godfather and godmother. I have seen you several times at the school gate. Thank you for taking care of my business!" The girl replied with a straightforward and eye-catching way, and it was obvious that the tutor was very good. "It was my aunt who told me about the custom of 'Ping An Fruit' on Christmas Eve. I just wanted to come out to try selling it tonight. Look, that's my aunt!"
Following the girl's direction, a beautiful woman full of mature appeared on the other side of the street. As soon as this person appeared, Cao Ke'er remembered Mu Shaobai's wife Tang Wanning. Of course, it only refers to temperament, not to say that she also has a big belly.
Xu Fan smiled slightly. He had already recognized that Concubine Xiong Yan, who had not seen him for many days. Unexpectedly, she was still in Jinyuan County. It seemed that she was still very attached to her late husband's hometown! It was just that the little girl said that Concubine Xiong Yan was her aunt. Isn't that the person who sold the "Ping An Fruit" might be the daughter of County Magistrate Zhao? Thinking about the age of County Magistrate Zhao, it seems that this possibility is also possible.
Concubine Xiong Yan came over slowly, but she didn't expect that she just went to say hello to several teachers at the Party School. When she came back, she also found that there were a few more people next to her niece. Soon, she also recognized that one of them was Xu Fan, whom she could not forget for a long time! A hint of joy appeared in her heart!
Since I met Xu Fan in Youlong Villa in Long Zhantian, I haven't seen him for several months, but people often mention the name "Xu Fan".
Among them, Zhao Yong, the county magistrate of Jinyuan County, mentioned the most. Every time he went to the county standing committee yard, he could hear about Xu Fan once or twice, such as the reopening of unfinished buildings, and the drug rehabilitation achieved major results. Mayor Mu seemed to have Xu Fan in the attack on Jinyuan, and they all appeared in a positive image, which made Zhao Yong praise him endlessly! As a teacher at the Party School, she naturally understood that Xu Fan belonged to Guan Tieshan's first team. Being able to praise Zhao Yong so much naturally shows Xu Fan's extraordinaryness!
There is also his father Xiong Pingsheng. He has heard about Xu Fan once or twice during the few trips he went back in the past few months. His father also asked him about his views on Xu Fan. In his impression, his father seemed to have only shown such a strong interest in Xu Fan!
In addition, when my younger brother called to greet him, he also mentioned Xu Fan from time to time. And when he compared Xu Fan with his ex-husband, why didn’t he know his younger brother’s intentions? It’s just...
Just as she was thinking of saying hello to Xu Fan in a friendly manner, she suddenly noticed that Xu Fan's left hand was holding a warm little hand in her big hand. This discovery made her face pale suddenly! The joy of meeting just now disappeared! The smile that just appeared on her face was not very natural!
Since Cao Ke'er first met Concubine Xiong Yan, she felt an inexplicable sense of threat. Concubine Xiong Yan has already brought the charm of women's matureness to the extreme, which can be seen from the men who passed by her on the road! Especially when she looked at Xu Fan, her eyes made her feel even more uncomfortable!
