Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1417. Host

Song Tan racked his brains for a gift.

To be honest, her first reaction was to give him a jade pendant as well.

On her neck, she still wore the peach pendant that Lu Chuan had given her. After wearing it for a few months, the already shiny and sticky texture inside seemed to be filled with water.

It is different from the fluorescent and hard light of ordinary jadeite, but it is really like a pool of water. That is the performance of spiritual energy gathering inside. Wearing it for a long time can really nourish the body.

It’s not impossible to give Lu Chuan one that has been nurtured in the same way.

She even has plans for her family.

However, since everyone has it, it would seem a bit thoughtless to give it as a gift.

Moreover, with her current ability, it would take some time from selecting to sending the goods back. And the remaining month was not enough for her to cultivate the jade pendant to a remarkable state.

Moreover, with Lu Chuan's eyesight, he knew exactly what quality he could get for the money spent. In this kind of jewelry transaction, buyers were always the ones who got cheated, and I have never heard of sellers being confused.

It would be too careless to use it to just please others.

  She thought about it - ancient books?

She had a lot of those things in her previous life, but now there were only novels and textbooks left in her room.

Electronic products? Lu Chuan is a person who never treats himself badly. His daily food, clothing, housing and transportation are all the most comfortable and appropriate within his ability.

Song Tan looked at Lu Chuan who was trimming the first wave of blue snow flower withers, and suddenly had an idea.

  Although it was a bit stressful for more than a month, Lu Chuan knew very well that he had some unknown little tricks in farming. He could do it!

She hurried back to her room and went online to prepare, while here, Chen Chi finally waited until the end of get off work.

  He carefully moved the model gift box that Yang Zhengxin had given him into the room, and even wiped the table again and again. Chen Xi came in and looked at it with interest:

"This needs to be put together according to the blueprint. Do you want me to help you?"

Chen Chi shook his head decisively: "No, no, I told Qiao Qiao, we will compete! But not for the next two days, we have to play with Yang Zhengxin these two days, we are the host, we have to treat him well."

Chen Xi was a little surprised: "You know the host now?"

"Of course I know!" Chen Chi said proudly, "Teacher Xin just finished the exam - Brother, did you not read my test paper carefully?"

Xin Jun did not require any parental signatures for these test papers, but Chen Xi and Chen Chi did not spend much time together before, and now in order to cultivate their relationship, it is inevitable that he has to ask more questions. It was he who took the initiative to look at Chen Chi's paper.

But these papers involved more comprehensive questions on literature, history and mathematics. As an adult who found it difficult to even read the questions, knowledge flowed through his mind every day, and he soon stopped taking them seriously.

Chen Xi had to admit that he no longer had the ability to read long texts.

In short, my brother cannot lose face.

So he cleared his throat and said, "Of course I read it. I was just surprised that you could remember it. Come on, tell me what it means."

Chen Chi didn't have such a photographic memory, so he could only remember part of it: "Host, from the Spring and Autumn Annals of Zuo Zhuan, it tells the story of Zheng State as the host on the eastern road during the war to entertain the Qin envoys..."

Chen Xi didn’t know whether it was right or not.

This is the influence of the living environment. Everyone knows that "host" means the host who entertains guests, but the origin and details are not clear.

  Now that Chen Chi can remember all this, he is already better than him. Although it seems that he can't remember everything... But because he himself doesn't know, he can only nod seriously. After Chen Chi ran away quickly with cheers, he quickly flipped out the test paper and sent a message to Xin Jun:

"Teacher Xin, has Chen Chi learned such advanced cultural knowledge now?"

Xin Jun was a little surprised. After understanding the whole story, he couldn't help laughing: "It's not that exaggerated. It's just that sometimes they hear words they don't understand in our daily conversations. If they ask me about it in class, I will ask them to learn and memorize it..."

"Moreover, for Chen Chi and Qiao Qiao, being able to understand what others say is the most important thing - don't think this is an innate ability. In fact, if you interact with people in society for a few years, you will find that many people don't actually have the ability to understand what others say."

Chen Xi really didn’t notice this!

real or fake?

However, Chen Chi's current appearance was all thanks to Teacher Xin, and he had no intention of questioning it. At this moment, he asked Chen Chi about the textbooks and books he would need next, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how you look at it, facing the teacher is still a bit stressful!

Qiao Qiao and Yang Zhengxin watched another episode of "Chinese Kids" together. The two of them were humming and gesticulating on the rooftop when they saw Chen Chi running over from a distance.

Yang Zhengxin lay on the rooftop and watched from afar: "Wow, he even brought flowers! Quite romantic!"

Qiao Qiao also came over: "What flower? I can't see clearly."

Chen Chi was tall and had long legs. He was running all the way here, and all that could be seen was the flowers in his arms. Before he could see the details clearly, he had already stepped up the stairs.

At this moment, Yang Zhengxin turned around on the rooftop and saw Chen Chi handing him the flowers in his arms.

His eyes are not big, his face is slightly square, and his skin is dark.

But the sincerity and enthusiasm in his expression cannot be replaced by any handsome face.

At this moment, Chen Chi was out of breath, but still said enthusiastically: "Yang Zhengxin, I don't have any other gifts for you, so I made a flower basket for you just after get off work - everyone on TV likes to give this, do you like it?"

It was a small and exquisite flower basket made of wicker branches, which contained a bunch of newly aged white grass buds, and a bunch of flowers from the riverbank - water chestnut flowers in the water, gesang flowers on the shore, dandelions on the grass, and a large patch of veronica in the corner...

Especially the Veronica, which grows close to the ground and is sky blue in color, but the flowers will fall off if touched. Yang Zhengxin touched more than a dozen flowers today when he was free!

He is most familiar with this flower, his mother used it to stick on her nails!

Now, these speedwells are piled on the green leaves, but they haven’t fallen off yet!

……

  Yang Zhengxin can call himself a man!

Apart from sending flowers to his mother during holidays, he always sneers at those classmates who send flowers because of premature love!

But now, looking at the flower basket without any expensive flowers in his arms, he grinned widely: "Beautiful! I like it!"

Then he began to place the flower baskets left and right as the sun set: "Make way, make way, I'll post a circle of friends to show off... Wait, don't go too far, we'll take a photo later!"

He was not polite at all, and shouted loudly downstairs: "Brother Lu! Brother Lu! Please take a picture for us!"

That's all. Good night.

  "Host" is a Chinese idiom that comes from Zuo Zhuan, the 1th year of Duke Xi, in the Spring and Autumn Annals by Zuo Qiuming. []

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the official Zhu Zhiwu of Zheng met with Duke Mu of Qin and asked the Qin army to stop attacking Zheng. Zheng would then serve as the host on the east road to entertain the Qin envoys. Because Zheng was east of Qin, it was called "host". This idiom generally refers to the host who receives or entertains guests. [From Baidu Encyclopedia]
