Qi Yan was stunned, looked up at the old lady, the old lady gave him a kind smile, got up and walked out of the arena.
Everyone is a common folk expert, so it didn't take much time to finish a few rounds of competition. In the end, Qi Yan and a representative from another community were left to compete for the championship.
Qi Yan's opponent was a gentle man in his thirties, with a handsome appearance and a bookish air in his gestures, and some people called him a teacher. Qi Yan guessed that this person was likely to be engaged in the education industry.
After the game officially started, the man smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Qi Yan, indicating that Qi Yan would go down first.
Qi Yan was not polite to him either, and took the first step.
The venue for the community sports meeting was borrowed from a cultural activity room in a nearby cultural square. The venue is relatively wide, so it can be divided in comparison. The atmosphere of the checkers arena is very quiet, but the uncles and aunts hanging outside the window are not quiet at all.
They all felt that the people on their side could win, and one said that the person on their side was a university professor who had a good heart and would definitely win first. The uncles and aunts headed by Aunt Wang were instantly unhappy, and immediately retorted that the young guys on their side graduated from prestigious universities, are enthusiastic and smart, and will definitely not lose.
The staff maintaining law and order in the community have their heads so big that they are afraid that the old men and the old ladies will fight like this.
But fortunately, these old men and old ladies are still restrained, even if the language of attacking people can be turned out, but no one said vulgar and vulgar words, and there is no more slapstick rolling and beating people.
The staff breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help sighing in the bottom of their hearts, these old men and old ladies are all talents. They have already lost each other for nearly half an hour, and they have not repeated words. This vocabulary is really rich.
"It's over, the game is over."
I don't know which old man screamed, and the uncles and aunts couldn't care about each other's damage, so they squeezed in the door one after another.
"Who's winning?"
"Who is number one?"
The results of the competition were announced soon. Qi Yan won the first place, and the rewards were some fitness equipment, basketball, football, badminton, table tennis, rackets, etc. Although these things were not worth the money, they couldn't save face. Especially when the rankings were posted on the bulletin board outside, the uncles and aunts saw Qi Yan's name followed by the name of their community, and instantly even their waists stood up.
As soon as Qi Yan came out, he was warmly welcomed by the uncles and aunts, and even an aunt gave him a cup of ginseng tea, because he was worried that he was using his brain too much, so he made up for it.
Later, I found out that their community did not win the first place in several other competitions. Qi Yan's first place came too soon, and it simply saved the dignity of their community. For young people, they don't value this at all, but the aunts and aunts are having a good time. Qi Yan doesn't want to lose their interest and coaxes them according to their minds.
"Xiao Qi, it's rare for you to come back. Today's lunch is at our house. Your uncle called just now and said that the family's meal is ready." Aunt Wang smiled and said to Qi Yan, "Don't say anything else, you Uncle's cooking skills are unparalleled."
"This is the legend that if you want to grab a woman's heart, you must grab her stomach first?" Qi Yan asked with a smile, Aunt Wang was so beautiful when she was young, and there must be many people who pursued her. If the husband wants to catch her, how can he win the heart of the beautiful woman if he doesn't show it
"Stinky boy, what nonsense are you talking about," Aunt Wang stretched out her finger and poked Qi Yan's forehead, but she couldn't see any annoyance in her expression, "Okay, let's go back now."
Qi Yan turned around and saw a beautiful woman wearing a long skirt and a trench coat. She had a gentle temperament, fair skin, and a gentle smile on her face. Standing in the crowd, she would make people look twice. woman.
"Jia Yang," this beautiful woman seemed to see someone, and the smile on her face suddenly became brighter, like a sudden blooming short-lived, extremely beautiful. Qi Yan followed her line of sight, and what she called was the man with glasses who was his opponent just now.
The bespectacled man named Jia Yang strode up in front of this beautiful woman, smiled at her, and the two stood side by side.
"This couple is a well-known loving couple in our community. The man is a teacher in a university. I heard that he was also rated as an associate professor, and the woman is a troupe actor." Aunt Wang seemed to see that Qi Yan was interested in these two people. "I don't know how many people envy the relationship between these two couples."
"Really?" Qi Yan turned his head to look, the couple was about to leave the activity room, the woman reached out to hold his husband's hand, but the man happened to be helping her twist a bottle of drink, and the woman didn't hold his hand , but got a bottle of drink.
At noon, Qi Yan followed Aunt Wang to her house. Aunt Wang’s husband seemed to be a very particular old man. The dishes and chopsticks in the house were all in literary style. What kind of dishes were paired with what plates, the bamboo chopsticks were carved with lotus patterns on the pedestal. Halfway wrong.
"Are you Xiao Qi?" Uncle Cui put the stewed old duck soup on the dining table and said with a smile, "Sit down and have a taste of my craft."
"Thank you, uncle," Qi Yan sat down on the dining chair. There were several dishes on the table. It seemed that he really prepared it on purpose, and he felt a little warm in his heart.
"Drinking?" Uncle Cui said, "I don't have the habit of drinking, but I have wine at home, red and white. You can take whatever you like." After speaking, he pointed to the wine cabinet in the corner.
Qi Yan glanced at the wine cabinet, and there were indeed several bottles of wine in it, which didn't look cheap.
"I don't like drinking either," Qi Yan retracted his gaze and said with a smile, "I'm not interested in tobacco and alcohol."
"It's okay if you're not interested in these hurtful things," Uncle Cui sat down beside Aunt Wang, "Have a taste and see if it suits your appetite?"
"You don't need to taste it to know it's delicious," Qi Yan picked up a piece of cold ear salad, "Our aunt praised it herself, so it's definitely not wrong."
Uncle Cui looked at Aunt Wang cheerfully, Aunt Wang glared at him, Uncle Cui was not annoyed, but chose two chopsticks for Aunt Wang to eat her favorite dishes.
After going back and forth, even if Qi Yan is blind, he can see that the uncle and aunt are in a good relationship. He sighed silently, and he ate the dog food given by several elder brothers and sisters of the Cen family at the Cen family. grain.
Uncle Cui is good-natured, slow-talking, graceful and humorous, while Aunt Wang is relatively straightforward, kind-hearted, and warm-hearted. Although Qi Yan came to their house for the first time, he felt at home.
After eating, Aunt Wang packed up the dishes and chopsticks and prepared to wash them in the kitchen, but was stopped by Uncle Cui, "You have a good conversation with Xiao Qi, and let me wash the dishes."
After Uncle Cui entered the kitchen, Qi Yan said sincerely, "Uncle is so kind to you."
Aunt Wang pulled her hair on her temples and smiled without refuting. After a while, she looked at the wound on Qi Yan's hand: "When your master bought a house in this community, I thought he was finally willing to return to the imperial capital, but I didn't expect that. That was the last time I saw him."
Qi Yan's action of cutting the fruit suddenly stopped: "Aunt Wang, do you know my master?"
"Of course I do, and I helped pick the house you live in now," Aunt Wang smiled and shook her head, "In the early years, your master was considered a famous person in the imperial capital, but he left without a word more than 20 years ago. In the imperial capital, I never thought that I would accept such an excellent apprentice as you."
Qi Yan suddenly remembered the old lady who competed with him in the morning. She was a Celestial Master and knew Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang knew his master, and Aunt Wang was also a senior in the Xuanshu world
How high is this Aunt Wang's cultivation, he can't see the slightest abnormality in her.
"Don't be surprised, I used to follow a master in my early years, but later I chose to marry a wife, so I gave up my career," Aunt Wang pointed to the apple in Qi Yan's hand, "Continue to cut, don't stop. "
Qi Yan twitched the corners of his mouth and continued to lower his head to peel the fruit, and soon a whole apple peel came out.
"Oh," Aunt Wang sighed, "Your master is good at everything, but he's a little out of tune, he does things casually, doesn't care about his words, and likes to run around, the Imperial Capital can't trap him. I didn't expect that he would stay in the same place for you for more than ten years."
Qi Yan handed the apple to Aunt Wang, and said with a smile, "Yes, the master often said that I should be born with a face that was born prematurely. Because of good luck, I can only save my life when I meet his old man."
"Luck is already included in fate. He saved you, and then got a good apprentice with extraordinary talent. It's your good luck and his good luck," Aunt Wang looked at Qi Yan with admiration. " But your master is right, you should have died early, even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will not survive twenty-three."
Qi Yan was not surprised by Aunt Wang's order, he looked at Aunt Wang calmly, and suddenly smiled: "But everything can't be absolute, right?"
"Yes, nothing is absolute," Aunt Wang nodded. "When you meet that noble person, your fate will change."
Qi Yan fell silent.
"I didn't learn the metaphysics well in my early years, only the top-notch physiognomy," Aunt Wang thought that Qi Yan didn't believe her words, "your face is very complicated, I can't fully understand it, but I can be sure of one thing, your The doom is over."
Thinking of Cen Baihe, Qi Yan couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, I did meet a noble person."
"The original fate of early death has turned into the appearance of profound blessings and a fulfilling life. This noble person who helped you must be extremely expensive," Aunt Wang told Qi Yan in the tone of which supermarket had cut prices again. Said, "I heard Hao Meili say that the emperor has not been very peaceful recently. It seems that someone is thinking about our family's dragon veins. You should pay more attention."
"Living at Cen's house is a very correct choice."
Qi Yan looked up at Aunt Wang: "Do you already know?"
"We old men and old ladies usually gossip around in the WeChat chat group when we have nothing to do, and we can know a little bit about things in the imperial city's Xuanshu circle," Aunt Wang said proudly, "If we have nothing to do, we can still go there. Report a few suspects who violate the law and discipline, you young people still have to learn."
