Chapter 77 Fengze Garden outside Zhengyang Gate
Haiyuncang bus station.
When Lin Sanqi appeared at the bus stop holding his nephew in his left hand and his niece in his right hand, Pan Ye was already waiting.
The two little guys' purpose today was to act as "wingmen". They had received instructions from their uncle in advance, so they were particularly enthusiastic today and were waving from afar:
"Sister~~~"
"Third Aunt~~~"
Frightened, Lin Sanqi quickly covered Lin Jiageng's mouth and said, "It's too early to call me Auntie San. Don't call me sister. Call me Auntie. Remember?"
Lin Jiageng nodded repeatedly: "I understand, uncle, it's Auntie, I want to drink Arctic Ocean."
Lin Sanqi rolled his eyes and said, "Drink! As long as you and your sister complete the task, I will treat you to a drink from the Southern Ocean, Eastern Ocean, and Western Ocean today."
Pan Ye saw Lin Sanqi and the others from afar and waved happily.
She originally thought it would be awkward to go out on a date with Lin Sanqi alone, but now that she saw there were two children, she felt relieved.
Look, this is how an experienced person seduces a young girl like Pan Ye who has no experience in love. He uses all the tricks.
"Hello, Comrade Lin Sanqi, hello, children~~"
"Comrade Pan Ye, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No, no, I just arrived, hehe~~"
In fact, Pan Ye had already arrived at the bus stop. She had sold the only clock in her house, so she couldn't even tell the time. In order to avoid missing her date, she waited at the bus stop early.
Lin Sanqi was very happy to be able to date "Mao Xiaotong". Now he had food and tickets in his pocket and was very courageous:
"Then let's go. Which bus should we take to Zhushikou?"
While talking, Lin Sanqi saw two heads popping out from the corner, smiling at him and the others.
Lin Sanqi immediately realized that these were Pan Ye's second sister Pan Cen and younger brother Pan Ren. Of course, he had to flatter these potential future sister-in-law and brother-in-law.
"Hey, isn't that your sister and brother? It's summer vacation, are you all right? Come on, come here, let's go to Fengze Garden together."
When passersby heard about Fengze Garden, they all looked at him in surprise, wondering which bragging boy was bragging so much to his wife. Is Fengze Garden something that ordinary people can go to?
Pan Ye was not from a poor family, so he naturally knew the price of Fengze Garden. He did not want to cause trouble to Mr. Lin, so he quickly waved his hand and said:
"No, no, my brother and sister can play at home by themselves."
Lin Sanqi didn't care. In 1959, the people were starving like ghosts. Who would miss the opportunity to eat in a restaurant?
"Pan Cen, Pan Ren, right? Come on, I'll take you guys to eat meat."
The word "meat" is unacceptable now. If you hear it, your saliva will flow like a waterfall. However, Pan Cen and Pan Ren did not get the consent of the eldest sister, so they obviously did not dare to come over.
At this time, the role of the wingman came into play. Lin Jiageng and Lin Zhenzhen quickly ran over and took the hands of the two older children.
"Sister, brother, let's go together. My uncle is treating us today~~~"
Lin Sanqi wanted to cover his face when he heard this. This call of brother and sister meant they were of different generations, but he didn't care about it at this time. Let them talk about their own things.
Pan Ye wanted to say something, but Lin Sanqi stopped him:
"Okay, it's just a meal, no big deal, I don't mind the money. Oh, should we take the No. 3 bus? The bus is here, hurry up, come on, get on, we're leaving!"
The bus is very crowded.
Maybe it was because there were too few trains, it was a hot day, and the train was not air-conditioned, so it was definitely not a pleasure to squeeze into a carriage that was as crowded as a sardine can.
But Lin Sanqi was very happy.
Because he had to protect the four children and Pan Ye, in order to prevent them from being crushed, Lin Sanqi deliberately opened his arms to support a piece of space.
Although Pan Ye was leaning against Lin Sanqi, as the car braked from time to time, Lin Sanqi's chest and Pan Ye's back would collide with each other from time to time.
Lin Sanqi, who was behind, was intoxicated by the smell of Pan Ye's body fragrance.
Pan Ye was facing the car window, her face as red as an apple, but she didn't try to avoid it, and the two of them kept bumping into each other in an ambiguous manner along the way.
Bus No. 3 runs along the edge of the Forbidden City, then goes south along Tianan Square, and finally along Zhengyangmen Street all the way to Zhushikou.
There are many attractions along the way. The Forbidden City has not changed much from later times, but Tianan Square and Chang'an Avenue are still different.
Lin Sanqi looked at it very carefully and thought to himself that he must get a camera in the future to take pictures of the street scenes. It would be a very commemorative thing, and he could also show his father what it looked like in 1959.
When crossing the famous Zhengyangmen Street, Lin Sanqi stretched his neck even longer. It is said that the Eight Great Hutongs in the past were all in this area. This kind of paradise on earth is loved by all men.
Not to mention men, it is said that fathers-in-law come here quite often too.
In fact, what Lin Sanqi didn’t know was that the core area of the Eight Great Hutongs was not next to Zhengyangmen Street, but right next to the Fengzeyuan Restaurant where he was going to have dinner today.
However, the scenes of revelry and feasting in the brothels are no longer seen, and the Eight Great Hutongs have now become slums.
The ticket seller yelled: "Zhushikou Station is here~~~"
Pan Ye breathed a sigh of relief after getting off the car. It was the first time in her life, other than her father, that she had been so close to a man, so close that she could feel the heat of his breath on her hair.
This feeling is itchy, yet a little bit exciting. It’s hard to describe the strange feeling.
Lin Sanqi didn't think too much about it. When leading a group of younger brothers and sisters, in addition to ensuring their safety and not getting lost, the more important thing was that he had to find where Fengze Garden was. Huh?
So he quickly stopped a passerby and asked, "Comrade, can you tell me how to get to Fengzeyuan Restaurant?"
The people in the capital were very enthusiastic. They pulled Lin Sanqi and pointed to a building not far away and said:
"Brother, do you see that? That red exterior wall with that imposing entrance? That's Fengze Garden. Wow, a meal there isn't cheap. Brother, do you want to go and smell it?"
“Thank you!!!”
Lin Sanqi thought, if you weren't so enthusiastic, I would have spit in your face. What does it mean to smell it?
Fortunately, Pan Ye was not from a poor family and had seen the world when he was a child, otherwise he would have turned around and left after hearing these words, which would have hurt his self-esteem.
Fengze Garden is located at No. 83, Zhushikou West Street. When Lin Sanqi, Pan Ye and others stood under the magnificent traditional Chinese sign of Fengze Garden, everyone swallowed their saliva.
Then no one dared to be the first to step in.
Lin Sanqi treated it as a sightseeing trip, holding the hands of his nephew and niece as he was about to walk in, but suddenly found that the Pan siblings had not followed, so he turned around and asked curiously:
"Let's go. If we don't eat until we can lean on the wall and get out today, it means the mission has failed."
Pan Ye was still unsure of the origins of Comrade Lin Sanqi, but out of his trust in him, he gritted his teeth and said to his younger brothers and sisters:
"Listen, listen to Brother Lin..."
