Ninth Uncle Shi Shaojian

Chapter 76
"Master, this is for you." Ren Tingting handed Uncle Jiu a thing wrapped in red paper as if offering a treasure.

"I only saw Shaojian just now, and I didn't let go of him when I hugged him. Now I finally think of Master?" Uncle Jiu joked.

Ren Tingting blushed slightly, and said angrily, "Don't pay me back."

"Give it all away." Uncle Jiu looked very happy, and the expression on that serious face became soft and lively.In the past, Qiusheng and Wencai would not give him presents, but they often caused a lot of trouble and came back.When the red paper was opened, there were packs of cigarettes inside.

The front of the cigarette box is set against the background of the sea. A sailor is standing on the deck with his right hand on his hip and his left hand holding a knife, showing a smug smile.The sub-picture shows the action of the gunner and the splash of the shells falling on the ship.The cigarette label is printed in full English, with the words "Pirate Cigarette" printed on it.

Shi Shaojian felt familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.Not long ago, Uncle Jiu hadn't even drank coffee and didn't know English, so he didn't know what it was. After looking at it over and over again, he thought it was a cardboard box.

Ren Tingting looked amused, "Master, these are British cigarettes. I heard people in Shanghai call them "pirate brand" cigarettes."

Uncle Jiu usually smokes shredded tobacco, which is cheap. He has only heard of cigarettes, but he has never smoked them. He has heard that they are very expensive. "Did you spend a lot of money?"

Ren Tingting shook her head and said with a smile: "It's not expensive, a few copper coins a box."

You can buy a lot of things with one copper coin, and a box of Pirate cigarettes with a few copper coins is not expensive, so what do you think?If he hadn't already bought it back, he really wanted to return it and exchange it for money.

Shi Shaojian took the cigarette case and looked at it for a long time before he remembered that the Pirate brand cigarettes were obviously Laodao brand cigarettes. Pirate brand was the original name. Later, the Chinese boycotted foreign products. In order to alleviate the Chinese people’s resistance, the British changed the cigarette label to Chinese. , is the old knife brand.

The cigarette brands of the Republic of China that are most familiar to future generations are Hardemen, Daqianmen, and Sanpaotai, etc., because they often appear in TV dramas.Ren Tingting hadn't seen these types of cigarettes in Shanghai, so they probably haven't been on the market yet, so she took out another type of cigarettes, the British brand.

"Master, this is the three-star brandy I bought from Shanghai. You can drink it. I'll buy it for you if it tastes good."

"Is it expensive?"

"Not expensive, a few oceans!"

The corners of Uncle Jiu's mouth twitched fiercely. He had just negotiated a five-dollar deal, and his heart ached.Now a bottle of wine costs a few dollars, and he speaks lightly and doesn't take it to heart at all. People are more popular than people.

This prodigal bitch!
It's not wine, it's obviously the ocean, it must be held tightly, and it must not be dropped, it must be more face-saving when someone comes to the house as a guest.

"Tingting, you can't treat one more favorably than another, you gave Master so many gifts, what about Wencai and me?" Qiusheng couldn't help but said.

"All of them." Ren Tingting picked up the four boxes and said to the four of them: "Four pocket watches, Brother Jian, Master, Qiu Sheng, and Wen Cai, each of you has one. There are also some tea, candies, pastries, and soft drinks, all brought from Shanghai. came over..."

Inhumane!

Uncle Jiu didn't know what to say anymore, anyway, he didn't spend his own money, so don't waste it.Qiusheng and Wencai each held a pocket watch and couldn't put it down.

Ren Tingting also prepared a generous gift for Shi Jian, which was nothing more than special tea and wine, but it cost a lot.I have to say that Ren Tingting is very good at it.

On the way to Town Demon Hall, Ren Tingting held Shi Shaojian's hand tightly, looking very nervous. She was already ready for the ugly daughter-in-law to meet her father-in-law, but when Shi Shaojian told her that he didn't make them a Taoist couple Telling Shi Jian, Ren Tingting's heart suddenly lifted, for fear that Shi Jian would object to their being together.

Shi Jian had already returned from the Qian's restaurant. He was sitting cross-legged in the rectangular open space practicing Lightning and Thunder Fist. The electric arcs all over his body made crackling and crackling sounds.Hearing the sound of footsteps, he suddenly opened his eyes, the blazing thunder in his eyes was a bit dazzling, Ren Tingting didn't dare to look at him, and hurriedly lowered her head.

"Master, this is Tingting, my fiancée."

"fiancée?"

Shi Jian was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly moved to Ren Tingting's face, sharp as a knife, a terrifying aura mixed with fierce killing intent gushed out, the whole space was filled with tiny electric arcs, Ren Tingting felt her delicate body was numb, the atmosphere was depressed, and her face was pale. Pale as paper.

Shi Shaojian took a step forward to block Ren Tingting, and shouted: "Father!"

Ren Tingting looked at Shi Shaojian in surprise, Shi Jian showed anger, and shouted: "How many times have I told you to call Master in front of outsiders, have you forgotten?"

"Tingting is my daughter-in-law and your daughter-in-law. She is not an outsider." Shi Shaojian took Ren Tingting's hand and said softly, "Wait for me outside. I will talk to Dad alone."

"Ah."

Seeing Ren Tingting stepping out of Town Demon Hall, Shi Shaojian's expression darkened instantly, "Father, did you just want to kill Tingting?"

"Yes."

"why?"

"Are you kidding? If you bring a woman back at this juncture, if you let others know, do you think your life is too long, or do you not want to become a mage?"

Hearing this, Shi Shaojian softened his tone and explained: "I do everything, Tingting is with me voluntarily. Besides, she is Master Lin's apprentice."

Shi Jian frowned, "Lin Jiu's apprentice, why don't I know?"

"The teacher I just worshiped not long ago."

"Okay, let's not talk about it. Engagement is such a big deal, why don't you tell me, do you still have me as a father in your eyes?"

"I forgot."

Shi Jian froze, opened his mouth, but didn't say what he wanted to say.Shi Shaojian took a good look at Ren Tingting's words and hurriedly said good things for Ren Tingting: "Tingting bought these things from Shanghai specially to honor her father after traveling thousands of miles away."

"Let it go, what else is there?"

"No, Dad, you continue to practice, I will take Tingting around. By the way, Tingting and I will have a banquet at Fengcun Restaurant in the evening. Dad must come, and Master Lin and the others will come too."

Shi Jian's eyes flashed slightly, he nodded, and slowly closed his eyes.Shi Shaojian didn't disturb him, and walked towards the door gently.

"Father has already helped you deal with the previous matters. During this period of time, be more self-disciplined, don't indulge in the love between men and women, and work hard to practice Lightning and Thunder Fist. When you become a mage who opens the hall, you can do whatever you want."
