Chapter 299 Take You to Ride the Ding Ding Car
When Jin Chaopu heard that these paintings were imitations, he immediately lost interest.
He held his handbag and looked out the window. The temperature had risen in the direct sunlight at noon, and the suit he was wearing was a little hot. He loosened his tie and leaned back in his seat in a very good mood.
This place was not far from his store, but there was some delay at the traffic lights on the road. Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in front of the store.
Jin Chuopu happily led Qiu Huoming out of the car.
The door of the audio-visual store on the first floor was open, and the sound of music came over. Before Qiu Huoming stepped into the store, Guansheng jumped out. He happily pulled Qiu Huoming's hand and said, "Brother Huoming, I finally got you. Mommy said you told Daddy that you were going to do something."
As his eyes moved to the painting in his hand, Guansheng asked curiously, "What is this?"
Not far away, Mrs. Jin was looking at him helplessly and greeted Qiu Huoming.
Jin Chuopu turned his head from the store and said angrily, "Let Huo Ming go in first. It's not right to block the door."
Guansheng's mouth drooped, and he quickly loosened his hand. Just as he was about to cry, Qiu Huoming half squatted down and looked at him with amusement, "Let's go together, Guansheng, you lead the way..."
Guan Sheng raised his head and looked at Qiu Huoming, "Are they the same as those martial arts masters on TV?"
This is a Rolex, which is completely different from Qiu Huoming's "Shanghai" watch.
Jin Chuopu glanced at him and said, "Okay, just follow me. Just don't disturb Brother Huoming."
Guansheng raised his head, the redness in the corners of his eyes had not yet faded, and the corners of his mouth rose again. He nodded earnestly, "Okay, I'll have one portion."
Guansheng's mouth corners suddenly lifted, "Okay, Daddy, Brother Huoming, come with me..."
Qiu Huoming first took a sip of the sarsaparilla, then with a strange expression on his face, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating noodles.
Guansheng listened to Jin Chuopu's words and muttered quietly, "I don't know anything."
"You are a child, and children just need to play." Qiu Huoming patted Guan Sheng's shoulder, "Do you want to practice boxing with me?"
"Guan Sheng, where is Tianyou?" Qiu Huoming asked.
"Great." Guansheng's expression changed a lot, and now he became lively again.
Guansheng couldn't help laughing when he saw his expression. He handed his ice cream to Qiu Huoming, "Brother Huoming, have a bite of the ice cream. Your soda tastes terrible. I never drink it..."
Guansheng lowered his head immediately.
After all, it is a cultural relic, so it is safer to keep it here.
Qiu Huoming followed his example, took off his suit and hung it up. He lowered his head and asked Guansheng: "Have you had lunch?"
Jin Chuopu shouted, "Did you hear that? Come in quickly."
The three of them went downstairs. The tea restaurant was just a few dozen meters away from the video store. It was past the peak meal time and there were a few empty seats.
Jin Chuopu waved and placed the order.
He straightened up with amusement and instructed Qiu Huoming:
"Huo Ming, take off your coat..." Jin Chaopu said as he took off his suit and hung it up first, then pulled off his tie. Only then did he feel liberated.
Jin Chaopu was a little surprised. Guansheng would be clingy in the past, but never like today.
"It's better than them, but it takes a long time to practice. It will be very hard at the beginning. Do you want to learn?"
After entering the study, Qiu Huoming simply handed the paintings in his hand to Jin Chuopu for safekeeping.
Jin Chaopu resisted the urge to get angry and said, "If you want to eat, just say it loudly, don't be so shy."
"I haven't eaten yet. I'll just go to Lao Zhang's restaurant and have a set meal later..."
Qiu Huoming vaguely thought of his own father. It seemed that when it came to teaching children, these two people had the same approach.
Jin Chaopu responded and closed the sliding door in the corridor again.
Guansheng glanced at Jin Chuopu, then whispered to Qiu Huoming, "I want to eat ice cream."
Jin Chuopu put away his things, stood up and turned around to see that Guansheng had gone close to Qiu Huoming again.
He rolled up his sleeves to reveal his watch.
Guansheng whispered: "I've made up my mind. I want to practice boxing with you. I'm not afraid of hardship..."
Guansheng nodded, "I've eaten, but I can still go drink soda with you."
It was Jin Chaopu who answered, "He went to practice the piano. This child likes music. This is good. I also run an audio-visual company. In the future, someone will inherit the family business..."
Qiu Huoming liked him quite a bit; he always reminded him of his little sister.
Jin Chuopu was cutting a thick butter pork chop bun with a knife and fork. Hearing this, he glanced at Guansheng, said nothing, put a bite of the pork chop bun into his mouth, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "Then let's have a bowl of egg noodles and a bottle of sarsaparilla. Guansheng, what would you like to drink?"
"I heard Guansheng's voice, so give me an ice cream. You can only eat one..." Qiu Huoming said gently.
Guansheng approached Qiu Huoming and said, "The egg noodles here are delicious..."
Qiu Huoming scooped a little of his ice cream and put it into his mouth, "Well, Guansheng really knows how to eat."
Qiu Huoming moved the SARS soda away. He just wanted to try the taste of this soda. He had heard people say before that it tasted a bit like Fengyoujing. After trying it, he realized that it lived up to its reputation. He didn't want to take a second sip.
Guansheng thought for a moment, and at this time all the food was served on the table.
Mrs. Jin called out from downstairs, "Chuo Pu, have you had your meal?"
Jin Chaopu greeted the waiter inside and then sat down.
The egg noodles were indeed delicious. Qiu Huoming finished the noodles and fried eggs in the bowl in no time. There was also curry fish balls on the table, which Jin Chuopu ordered for him. After eating these fish balls, his stomach was finally full.
It was already past noon, and some new people had started having afternoon tea.
Most just ordered soda or coffee.
Jin Chaopu finished his staple food and then stirred the coffee with a spoon. The ice cubes in the coffee made a sound when stirred. The coffee in Hong Kong City was added with sugar and condensed milk. At that time, coffee did not have as many varieties as in later generations, especially in tea meals.
Guansheng carefully finished all the ice cream and contentedly told Qiu Huoming about the interesting things that happened in their class.
He was already laughing so hard before he even got to the funny part.
Hearing Jin Chaopu frowning, he gritted his teeth and finished his coffee.
"Let's go, Huo Ming, if you want to go out for a walk, that's fine. I have to go back and take a rest. I'm old now, and I can't refuse to accept my age..."
Guansheng immediately interrupted, "Brother, I'll take you to ride the Ding Ding car..."
"What is a Ding Ding bus? It's a double-decker bus that rings its bell when it stops..." Jin Chaopu explained.
Guansheng argued: "Ringing bells are just ding ding ding..."
"Okay, then let Guansheng take me for a walk." Qiu Huoming stood on the street. He had nothing to do at the moment, so it would be nice to look around.
Jin Chuopu took out some change from his pocket and handed it to Qiu Huoming, then told Guansheng, "Take good care of your brother. This is his first time here."
Guansheng nodded earnestly, "I'll look at him..."
Qiu Huoming smiled and held out his hand. "Come on, Xiao Guansheng. It's up to you from now on."
Guansheng held his hand and said, "Let's go to the station first. I'll take you to see our school..."
"There is also a stadium. Brother, can you play basketball?"
Qiu Huoming looked down at his leather shoes and said, "Wait for me to go upstairs and change into a pair of sneakers."
After returning to his temporary room, Qiu Huoming simply changed his trousers and shirt into his own casual clothes, put away his leather shoes, and put on his sneakers.
He opened the door and saw Guansheng already waiting anxiously at the door.
Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "Let's go."
Guansheng walked this road every day and was very familiar with it. He racked his brains to introduce Qiu Huoming to some interesting places nearby.
Qiu Huoming had gained a lot today. He just came out for a walk without any purpose. Listening to Guansheng's childish words and funny stories made him feel much happier.
The "ding ding car" that Guansheng mentioned is actually a tram with an antenna, with two floors. After getting on the car and inserting coins, Guansheng led him up the stairs.
There were not many people upstairs, so Qiu Huoming was pulled to sit in the first row.
This place is located high, with glass in front, and has an excellent view.
The sunlight shone in through the glass. There were crowds of people on both sides of the street. The neon lights and shop signs on the shop doors were of various shapes, and the prosperous scene was in sight.
There were a few foreigners in the same carriage, speaking their native language loudly.
After a while, the car stopped at the station. Qiu Huoming heard a 'ding ding' sound, and then someone came upstairs and sat behind them.
Guansheng was short, and the sunlight shone on his head. He stretched out his hand to block it, but before he raised his hand, a shadow had already covered his head.
Qiu Huoming took off his thin coat and used his hands to create a sunshade to cover Guansheng's head.
Guansheng grinned, revealing his white little teeth.
"Brother Huo Ming, you are so nice."
Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "That's because Guansheng deserves to be treated well by others."
Guansheng's little face suddenly turned red. He felt a little proud and a little shy.
"Brother Huo Ming, but everyone else likes Brother Tian You, he knows a lot of things, they don't like me..."
"I just like you." Qiu Huoming said without hesitation.
"Talent is something that you will naturally acquire in the future, but the ability to make people around you happy is something that no one else can learn."
Guansheng clenched his hands tightly, with a smile on his face.
He nodded vigorously, "Brother Huo Ming, I will try my best to learn boxing from you."
"Well, man, keep your word."
Guan Sheng turned his head and looked at Qiu Huoming's face. His cheeks were flushed and his eyes were shining. "Well, I am a man."
The tram went one more stop forward.
Guan Sheng pulled Qiu Huoming's sleeve and said, "Brother Huoming, we are getting off the bus."
Qiu Huoming put away his coat, reached out to grab him, and started to go downstairs.
There were already several passengers standing at the back door, ready to get off the bus.
The car stopped and Guansheng took the lead, leading the way.
A hundred meters past the platform, there is a Catholic elementary school. Guansheng smiled and said, "This is my school."
"Brother Huo Ming, I'll take you to my class."
He turned around, took Qiu Huoming's hand and walked inside. The guard recognized him and did not ask any questions, just let them go.
Qiu Huoming and Guansheng walked into the school. The school was very beautiful. The building not far away was off-white. A nun came towards them, and Guansheng immediately called out happily, "Hello, teacher."
The nun had kind eyes and smiled as she leaned over. "It turned out to be Xiao Guansheng. Why are you here at school today when you have a day off?"
Guan Sheng immediately pulled Qiu Huoming over and said, "I'll bring my brother to our class to have a look."
The nun greeted Qiu Huoming with a smile, and then said to Guansheng: "Then you must treat him well..."
Guansheng nodded, and the nun left.
The atmosphere of this school is quite good. This is Qiu Huoming's first time to come into contact with this type of school, and he is a little curious.
After entering the building, Guansheng's class was on the first floor, so we arrived there quickly.
The two of them took a walk around, and Guansheng told Qiu Huoming everything in detail. After all, it was a port city, and the children here had much more entertainment than in the mainland.
After Guansheng introduced the school, he led Qiu Huoming out of the school gate and went straight to the stadium next door, which was an open-air park stadium.
Despite the scorching sun, the several basketball hoops inside were occupied.
The sounds of playing ball came one after another.
Guansheng led Qiu Huoming into the court and stopped beside the outer wire mesh. He said enviously, "Brother Huoming, I want to play basketball, but they won't let me play."
"Why don't I play with you?"
"Say I can't make the shot..."
Guansheng looked up and asked, "Brother Huoming, can you play basketball?"
Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "Yes, but not very powerful."
Guansheng felt the same way, "I can do it, but I'm not very good. I often sneak in and watch others play."
He looked around and said in a low voice, "Brother Huo Ming, you must keep this a secret."
"Well, don't worry, I won't tell."
There are six courts in total, and almost all of them are young people playing, with only one court having older people playing.
Qiu Huoming watched for a while, and someone among them temporarily retreated.
Someone shouted to Qiu Huoming, "Hey, handsome boy, come over and play ball..."
Guansheng's face was full of excitement, "Brother Huoming, go and try it."
Qiu Huoming was worried about Guan Sheng being here alone, "Let's stop fighting and go back."
He responded loudly to those people, "Thanks, I won't fight." Then he pulled Guansheng out.
Before I walked out of the wire mesh area, I heard a whistling sound of something being thrown behind me.
Qiu Huoming's reaction was extremely fast. He let go of Guansheng's hand, turned around and pushed his hands forward almost without thinking. A high-speed basketball spun several times in his palm and then stopped.
Guansheng finally reacted and glared at the group of teenagers who had just called Qiu Huoming.
The leading boy ran over with a smile and reached out to take the ball from Qiu Huoming's hand.
Qiu Huoming dodged it swiftly.
"How about this, I'll play basketball with you, best of three. If I win, this court and this ball will be temporarily given to me and my brother. If I lose, I'll give you ten dollars..."
The boy whistled immediately, raising his eyebrows, "Hey, sure, let's go..."
He didn't even take the basketball, but quickly returned to the team and told them what had happened.
The group of young people immediately started to make a noise...
Qiu Huoming pulled Guansheng over.
He twirled the basketball in his hand with one hand and asked, "Who goes first?"
