Although the fourteenth moon is not round enough, it is big enough, and it hangs brightly in the east.
Dawang stood at the intersection with a flashlight in his hand and waited for the two of them. Seeing the little brothers happily ran out, he knew it was all right.
Sanwang: "Brother, I understand what my mother said."
Dawang: "Which one?" Mother said a lot.
Sanwang's usual joyous voice was very quiet at this time, with his unique maturity mixed with childishness, he said leisurely: "Don't worry about winning or losing, don't care about the enemy who is standing still, if he can't follow you to the distance, That's a grain of sand stuck to your shoe, and when you step forward and run, he doesn't know where he's been thrown."
Dawang: It's hard for you to remember it so well.
Xiaowang sang as soon as he disagreed, "The wind in front, it's been blowing~ Listen~~ Don't forget about being proud, don't be sad when you're frustrated, because the wind is blowing all the time~"
The three brothers walked for a while, and Dawang asked Sanwang, "Are you tired of the competition?"
Sanwang smiled: "I'm not tired, it's much easier than farming."
"Are you stressed?"
"What's the big deal? No one is forcing me to take the gold medal. If I can, I will take it. If I can't, I won't take it." He is the same.
Dawang reached out and rubbed his head twice, "If you don't like it in the future, go home."
Sanwang nodded, "That's for sure, I don't do anything I don't like, and I have to go home and be a pensioner's son."
Dawang withdrew his hand calmly, raised his foot and gave him a kick, "It's not your turn on both ends."
When the three brothers returned home, Dawang closed the door.
Lin Lan and Mai Sui had run out of hot water for the family to quickly wash their feet and take a bath.
Han Qingsong doesn't need hot water this season, and boys also develop this habit, so she and Mai Sui soak their feet in hot water all year round.
At nine o'clock, the family went up to the eastern kang to talk affectionately.
Sanwang took out his gold and silver medals, as well as the ruby chain, and put them on the kang, "Mother, it's all for you!"
Xiaowang climbed onto the kang to pick up the gold medal, opened his mouth and bit it, Dawang grabbed it with his hand, and Xiaowang bit on Dawang's finger.
Dawang: … Fortunately, those two front teeth eloped.
Everyone laughed, and Sanwang and Xiaowang said, "I've bitten it, it's not pure gold, haha."
"Mother, this friendship stone is for you." Sanwang pointed to the bare stone.
Lin Lan and the others had heard it on the radio, but now they are concerned about the horse's hoof and asked Sanwang, "Who is that horse... hoof?"
Sanwang laughed: "What horseshoe, it's called Mattie, I heard it wrong." He explained to Lin Lan the process of getting to know Mattie. She was his good foreign friend like Henry.
Xiao Wang smiled and said, "The third brother can make a lot of friends wherever he goes, which is great."
It was originally what Lin Lan coaxed them to say when they were young, but now he has learned a lot.
Mai Sui and Erwang were curious about the customs and people in foreign countries, so they asked Sanwang to tell him about Henry, Mattie and others.
"Well, Henry is a man. He's tall and has yellow hair, but it's yellow. The first time I saw it, I was shocked. I thought it was like we dyed chicken butts. Haha. Mattie? Black hair right? , seems to be black, not yellow, skin? Quite white, I forgot. Oh yes, the eyes are big."
He rounded his eyes, shook his head to show that it was not enough, and made Xiaowang round again, laughing: "It's a bit like Brother Xiaowang, let's make it bigger. The eyes are fluffy, like a small animal."
Xiaowang asked him with a smile, "Brother Xian, isn't Mattie beautiful?"
Sanwang: "Pretty, they all say she's beautiful."
Everyone asked him, "What do you think?"
Sanwang scratched his head: "Pretty."
In his eyes, all his close friends are beautiful, they look good, others... I'm sorry, he didn't look carefully. But he was sure that Su Luo was ugly. He didn't know why he looked so dark and dirty, as if he never washed his face. He was not willing to swim with Su Luo.
Lin Lan focused on asking whether her friendship with Henry and Mattie had been criticized by the leaders, and she should pay attention to it.
Sanwang said: "There is a general surnamed Qi who said that he had to report something before, but he was honest with the head of Zhao."
Seeing a big man talking, Lin Lan didn't worry. Sanwang was also a lucky star.
Sanwang took out another large envelope and stuffed it to Lin Lan, and then excitedly separated the gift from his brother and sister.
First, there was a big bag of food, malted milk essence, canned food, various candies, snacks, melon seeds, a bag of ham sausage, flattened bread…
Sanwang: "I bought it, the coach bought it, the teammate gave it, and the cafeteria gave it. Oops, I don't know who gave it, mother, don't ask me."
Lin Lan: ... She was just about to ask, if someone gave him something, she, the mother-in-law, had to help him in return. However, the nature of Sanwang will never be remembered, so forget it. When you go back, bring something more for him to share.
Lin Lan asked the children to eat snacks, "The third brother brought it back, you can eat whatever you like." If you eat less, you can just eat it. If you have more candies, you can give some to Good Boys and Xiaoxin. Anyway, other relatives in the family move around every day, so this is not bad.
Sanwang pulled out a small bag of wine chocolate, "This is delicious, you can try it."
He took one and stuffed it into Lin Lan's mouth, and gave it to Han Qingsong to eat. Han Qingsong didn't want it. He never eats children's snacks.
Lin Lan saw that there were more than a dozen pieces in total, so she peeled it off and handed it to Han Qingsong: "What my son brought back from a long way, we all have to taste it, this is the child's heart."
Han Qingsong opened his mouth and ate it with her hand.
Xiaowang: "Ah, spicy, there's wine in it! It's over, I'm going to get drunk!"
Seeing his exaggerated expression, everyone laughed.
Xiaowang began to pretend to be drunk and let everyone watch him punch drunk. This is in the story of Jigong heard by Mai Suinian. He used the dance moves taught in school to fight drunk boxing, and he played it like a model.
Sanwang: "Brother Xiaowang, have you really drunk?" If you haven't drunk, why are you so drunk? I really have the style of my year!
Xiaowang took the guitar and said, "Come on, I'll show you a drunken play."
After making a fuss about a piece of music, Sanwang asked his eldest brother to help carry another big black bag onto the kang, "Come on, there is something else."
A pair of black high-heeled leather shoes, thick heel, square toe, good leather shoes.
There are also books for Mai Sui and Erwang in Iran, recipes, gem designs, etc. Fortunately, they are not in Persian but in English.
He also bought a sheet music for Xiaowang, the kind that cannot be bought in China. Xiaowang immediately flipped through the pages, his face glowing with excitement, he flipped to the song "Edelweiss", and couldn't help humming while playing with his little hands on the imaginary keys.
Sanwang took out two floral skirts, "It's for my mother and sister, I'm sure I can't wear it now, but I'll wear it next year."
Mai Sui's eyes showed a look of surprise, "They actually have such gorgeous cotton cloth?" There is no printed cloth with such delicate and large flowers in China.
Sanwang: "Yeah, what the hell are they wearing." He stood on the ground and gestured at his thighs, "The skirts are here, and here, I heard that in winter, many people are not afraid of the cold with bare thighs. "
In the countryside in China, except for girls, it is rare to wear skirts, let alone bare thighs, even Dawang's brows twitched.
Seeing that, Sanwang shocked everyone, and even more excited, "It's still like this." He took off Xiaowang's jacket, and then gestured to Xiaowang's undershirt, which had no sleeves, a short hem, and a big V-neck on the chest.
Mai Sui said in surprise: "Oh, it's bigger than our vests." The vests they wear are also round necks, and they don't show their chests. What do you think of what Sanwang said, the stomach is about to be exposed from above!
Sanwang continued to deliver shocking news, "They still dance every day, men and women together, hugging and dancing like this."
He stretched out his hand to hook Dawang's waist, Dawang put his hand on his face and pushed him away, then he jumped on the kang and hugged Xiaowang.
Crowd: ... You went abroad, you really didn't delay the game, and nothing else was delayed!
Han Qingsong looked at it very seriously. For a moment, he turned to look at Lin Lan, his eyes darkened.
Lin Lan pretended not to feel the deep stare from Director Han, and flipped through the large envelope that Sanwang gave her, which contained some photos, picture albums, etc.
The pictures were given by others and bought by others, and they were all trendy men and women with exotic styles. Sure enough, there are quite a few scantily clad girls, as well as some men and women, with unrestrained movements, which are not suitable for watching at the moment. Lin Lan put away a few that were too ambiguous, so as not to irritate the children. After all, they had never come into contact with them. Moreover, at this time, the country is not so open. This is a banned series, and it will be said to spread obscenity.
She left landscapes, buildings, and normal people outside for the children to enjoy.
Han Qingsong sat behind her the whole time, wrapped her in his arms, glanced at her, stretched out his hand and took out a picture from the pile of pictures. There was a curly-haired girl in a red swimsuit with thick red high-heeled shoes on her feet. She was caught by a tall man. Raised high.
He took the pair of leather shoes over, took a look, held Lin Lan's feet and tried the black leather shoes on for her. The size was quite suitable, but Lin Lan's feet were delicate and her feet were not wide enough. Thick head and thick heels do not match her temperament.
Although it was similar to the picture, it was not suitable for his daughter-in-law. He frowned slightly, then put it aside and decided to buy a more delicate pair for the New Year.
Lin Lan glanced at him, and stretched out his fingers to hook his chin, so that he would not frown.
She said to Mai Sui, "Sister Mai, come and try these shoes, I guess you can wear them after the new year."
Mai Sui: "Mother, give me some clothes?"
Lin Lan nodded: "Try it, it doesn't matter if you wear it occasionally."
This style of shoes was popular in China in the 1980s and 1990s, with toad mirrors, flared trousers, hot heads, and thick heels.
Mai Sui is young and energetic, and she is bright and heroic, and she can control any style.
Mai Sui likes it very much, but it can only be worn at home, and it is not suitable to wear it out now.
Xiaowang: "Sister, you wear these shoes, I feel like a horse's hoof."
Maisui: ... As far as you can say, huh.
Dawang looked at Sanwang, "What about mine?"
Sanwang deliberately looked at him in surprise, "Brother, you and Dad won't be rude for such a superficial gift."
Mai Sui, Erwang and Xiaowang laughed.
Sanwang held back his smile and said to Lin Lan, "Mother, next month, next month's salary will be spent." Anyway, if the family is not hungry, then he can buy gifts for his parents in the future - no need to give Dad buys it, just buy a few more for his daughter-in-law.
After all, both parents have jobs.
Lin Lan stretched out her slender index finger and tapped his forehead, "If you go out in the future, you don't need to buy us so many things. Just take some pictures everywhere."
She dug out several photos from the big envelope, some in black and white, some in color, some of Sanwang's solo, and some of him and his teammates.
There's even a photo of him shaking hands with Vice Chairman Deng!
Lin Lan couldn't take his eyes off of him, Little Third Brother, you are amazing.
In fact, Sanwang didn't think so. To be honest, he didn't know who it was at all. He just thought he was a leader like Head of Zhao. After all, the celebration banquet was for him to eat.
Lin Lan thought about it, showed the photo to Han Qingsong, and kept it away from the outside. What if it was stolen
She went to pick up the colored photos again, and at a glance, she saw a girl with black hair and snow, with big furry eyes, looking as delicate and beautiful as a Barbie doll.
It looks like this is Mattie.
She turned around again, and saw a big man with blond hair and blue eyes, carrying the camera and holding Sanwang's shoulders. Both of them laughed so exaggeratedly that people couldn't help laughing.
Mai Sui, Erwang and Xiaowang also gathered to see the photos.
"They have color photos!" the children exclaimed. "We don't."
Lin Lan: "We will have it too."
There are also photos of winning the Asian Games in Sanwang, photos of swimming in the pool, and teammates... Henry really took a lot of photos of him.
She turned her head to talk to Han Qingsong, and he leaned forward and looked down at her.
Lin Lan chuckled softly: "Third brother, find time to make two more photo frames, pick the ones that look good and set them up."
Especially the one with the gold medal for the third brother, how handsome, after all these things, the daughter-in-law will not have to worry about it.
The family reunion was so excited that they didn't want to sleep, it was more lively than the New Year's celebration, and they couldn't finish talking.
It's rare that the children are happy, and Lin Lan doesn't rush them. Anyway, tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival, the school will be closed.
Sanwang looked at Dawang: "Brother, let's have a quilt tonight."
How boring is it to sleep on your own, either falling off or hitting the wall.
Dawang glanced at him without speaking, his eyes seemed to say "I don't want to talk to you".
Xiaowang laughed, thinking that the third brother brought gifts to everyone, but he didn't bring them to the eldest brother. If the eldest brother didn't say it, he must be disappointed in his heart.
Mai Sui and Erwang knew that Sanwang must have brought a gift for the eldest brother, and they deliberately teased the eldest brother.
Of course, Dawang is sure that Sanwang brought a gift for him, but this kid made it clear that he wanted to make himself anxious, so he wasn't in a hurry. In the end, Sanwang was anxious first and kept looking at Dawang, his eyes clearly saying, "Brother, I didn't bring you a gift, why aren't you angry, come and ask me?"
Dawang didn't ask, and held him back.
In the end, Sanwang couldn't help but quietly brought the things wrapped in a towel in his schoolbag and put it in Dawang's hands solemnly, "Brother, I gave it to you, you have to inherit me well..."
Seeing the play on his face, Dawang unceremoniously gave him a shudder, telling him not to talk nonsense.
Dawang tore off the towel, revealing the contents, and was stunned.
Han Qingsong, who was talking to Lin Lan on the kang, was also attracted to his attention. He slowly raised his head and looked over, only to see Da Wang holding a palm-length knife, an old leather scabbard, and a pitch-black handle. It looks simple and unpretentious, but for some reason, everyone involuntarily quieted down.
Sanwang looked at the expressions of his father and eldest brother with satisfaction and smiled, "Henry bought this for me. He paid for it. Later, when he comes to China, I will invite him to eat and play to pay back the debt."
Dawang hesitated for a moment, then picked up the knife with his left hand, it was too small, and his fists were long. He held the scabbard in his left hand and the handle in his right hand. He pressed his thumb on the machine bracket, the scabbard popped open, and with his right hand he gently pulled the knife out an inch.
Immediately, a snow light was reflected, and in the dim light, the water pattern seemed to flow like life. A stunning light flashed in Dawang's eyes. With a "zheng", he completely pulled out the knife. Lin Lan immediately pulled Xiao Wang back a few times to avoid being accidentally injured.
The knife light was reflected in Dawang's eyes, his eyes narrowed, and his eyes became sharp and cold, completely different from the usual silence and indifference.
Dawang flipped his wrist and held a knife flower, and the knife was surging in the light with cold light and water patterns, as if it were alive. As soon as his slender fingers turned, the knife was lifted and turned between his fingers, and then returned to the sheath.
The younger brothers and sisters all widened their eyes, "Wow, eldest brother is very good at playing with knives."
However, Han Qingsong glanced at him dissatisfiedly, thinking that he was playing with pretentiousness and was flashy.
Dawang passed the knife to Han Qingsong: "Father."
Han Qingsong refused: "Brother gave it to you, you can take it."
Sanwang: "Father, I'll give it to you later..."
"No. Dad can't use it." Han Qingsong refused. He belongs to the Public Security Bureau, so he can't use this, and the Public Security Bureau also issued a dagger for the police.
Han Qingsong could tell at a glance that the leather scabbard was sewn with gold thread, the handle was wrapped with rhino horn, and the inside was probably also precious wood. The end of the handle was also inlaid with stones such as coral and turquoise. The blade is so short, although it is sharp, it is not practical. At first glance, it is played by rich people. The value of collection and appreciation is far greater than the practical value.
Lin Lan searched the corner of his memory, Iran-Persia-Damascus, is this a Damascus knife
If this is the case, then Sanwang can be missed.
She said to Dawang, "My brother's first gift to my brother, take it well."
She believed that Dawang would be well preserved.
Dawang raised his hand on top of Sanwang's head and seemed to be rubbing it, but he slid down, landed on Sanwang's shoulder, and embraced it, "I like it very much."
Sanwang was very happy: "I knew you liked it."
The elder sister wrote to say that the elder brother liked the knife that his father gave him. When he and Henry were walking around, they happened to see a shop selling old things. There was a knife in it, and he wanted to buy it for the elder brother.
Don't underestimate this little knife, it's coming soon.
Big brother likes it very much, and Sanwang thinks it is worth buying, and it is not a loss at all.
