0564 Ballast Stone
"Slow down, eat slowly, come, take a bite of soup, don't choke. ”
Su Ningxiang hurriedly filled him half a bowl of soup, gave him a drink in distress, and said angrily: "Look at you, what's wrong with drinking later, what is urging." ”
The three big men are so embarrassed, one is your grandfather, one is dad, and the other is you call brother, is it appropriate for you to bury us like this?
Ding Ning felt embarrassed, this Aunt Xiang felt that he was tender, but this was too much to spoil him, so he hurriedly said: "Aunt Xiang, I'm really full, I'll drink a little wine to eliminate my appetite first, and then I'll eat later." ”
"Okay, drink less wine, eat two more bowls later, tell me what you want to eat, Aunt Xiang will make it for you." ”
Su Ningxiang also noticed that she seemed to have gone too far, so she quietly stuck out her tongue and grimaced at Su Zhengnan.
Su Zhengnan shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he was very relieved in his heart, how many years have passed, and he finally saw his daughter's naughty side again.
The old man didn't squint, but he was secretly funny in his heart, you two still want to hide it from me, I really don't know that this is my great-grandson.
If it was usual, even if Ding Ning saved his life, he would not accompany him to this dinner, from the moment he woke up and saw Ding Ning's appearance, he knew that this was his great-grandson.
I am afraid that he is the only one who has seen the man here, Ding Ning inherited the handsome and resolute man at the same time, he also inherited the graceful beauty of Suning Xiang, which is a perfect combination.
This can be regarded as atonement, the old man sighed secretly in his heart, if it weren't for the softness of his ears and the confusion of his mind, he would not have let Ning Xiang live a hard life here for many years.
Now, after experiencing life and death, his heart is becoming more and more broad-minded, blood and family affection cannot be erased no matter what, the older a person gets, the softer his heart becomes, and the more he hopes to be able to surround his knees and share the joy of family.
He couldn't remember whether it was fifty or sixty years ago when a family had a dinner like this.
At that time, his wife had not passed away, and the four Su Zhengnan brothers were all in their early twenties at that time, and the family ate together like an ordinary family.
At the dinner table, brothers and brothers, wives and sons are filial, talking and laughing together casually, that kind of home warmth cannot be replaced by anything.
However, I don't know when the sons got married and achieved something in their respective fields, and after the wife passed away due to illness, the whole family could never get back the original feeling when they ate together.
It's not comparing with each other, or it's mocking and ironic, or silently picking up the meal and going to the other side, home is no longer like a home, and the meal is tasteless.
Later, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he simply moved back to the Su family's old house, in this simple courtyard, out of sight and out of mind.
Thinking of this, Old Man Su's eyes suddenly moistened a little, he was proud and glorious in this life, but in fact, he was also the most defeated.
He longs for family affection, but he pushes the family affection away with his own hands, he longs for excitement, but he silently endures the torment of loneliness alone, he succeeds only in the first half of his life, but he fails in the second half of his life.
"Money bag, you eat more, girls have to eat a little fatter. ”
Suning Xiang loves the house and Wu, and she treats the people around her son as her own children, and keeps putting vegetables in her bowl.
This makes Yanagi Asada seem to have returned to her hometown full of cherry blossoms, and to the carefree childhood when her parents held her in the palm of their hands.
It's a pity that all that beautiful things can only exist in memory forever with the accident of her parents, and she became a victim of the family and can never go back to the past.
Her life can only be faced by herself, and there is no one to rely on.
People who are not content always do not know how to cherish when they have it, and they do not regret it until they lose it.
In fact, happiness is really simple, sometimes, a cup of hot tea, a smile, a warm greeting, a beautiful melody, a good song, a warm embrace or even a meal that may not be very delicious...... All of them can make people feel happy.
The warm dinner finally ended in its happiness, Ding Ning sat on the chair and rubbed the belly of the boss, he did not break his promise, after drinking half a catty of wine, he was strictly ordered by Suning Xiang not to drink anymore, and then ate three bowls of rice, and wiped out all the dishes on the table, so that Suningxiang smiled happily, looking at her smile, Ding Ning felt that it was worth it even if he burst his belly.
Old Man Su also changed his seriousness in the past, like an old naughty boy who didn't grow up, smiling and enjoying Suningxiang's constant complaining and nagging, and the chatter that annoyed him in the past made him feel very happy at the moment.
"Follow me to the study!"
After drinking tea for a while, Jiang Rui said goodbye and left, and Old Man Su didn't care that Su Zhengnan was endlessly tasting his cherished tea, said to Ding Ning, stood up and walked towards the study.
Liu Sheng Qiandai helped Suning Xiang clean up in the kitchen, and the two of them talked and laughed like their mothers, which made Ding Ning wonder, when did the money bag grow in IQ, and it was even able to chat.
Su Zhengnan squeezed his eyes at Ding Ning, suggesting that his old man was going to give him a baby, which made Ding Ning feel that this head of the Su family was actually not as serious as he seemed on the surface, and he had some funny attributes in his bones.
In the study, the layout is still shabby, the dilapidated furniture, the old household appliances, and the bookshelves with the paint off are all full of a strong atmosphere of the sixties and seventies.
The only thing that makes people feel different is that the walls are covered with all kinds of out-of-print calligraphy and paintings, and the large half-new writing desk is stacked with many priceless antique jade.
The first thing Ding Ning saw was the moon lion on the table, and he was stunned, wasn't this auctioned off by his sister?
Seeing Ding Ning staring at the Moon Lion, Old Man Su smiled proudly: "How is it? This is the work of the Heavenly Sword Master." ”
"How can this moon lion be here with the old man?"
Ding Ning asked suspiciously.
"Well, it's you...... I, a junior of mine gave it to me. ”
The old man originally wanted to say that it was given to me by your mother, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his words, he knew that since Ding Ning still called his granddaughter Aunt Xiang, he definitely didn't know that Ning Xiang was his mother.
Ding Ning didn't think much about it, since the old man was kind to his sister, it made sense for the sister to spend a high price to take this moon lion and give it to the old man.
"Look, how is it? The work of the Heavenly Sword Master is really amazing. ”
The old man couldn't put down admiring the moon lion, he played every day, but he couldn't get enough of it.
"Uh, not bad. ”
Ding Ning smiled bitterly and nodded, he couldn't boast about himself.
"What is it called, this is the top pinnacle work in the jade carving world, every work of the Heavenly Sword Master can become a famous heirloom, where is this Zhaoyue Lion, but it can be regarded as an heirloom. ”
Old Man Su glared dissatisfiedly, gritted his teeth with reluctance and said, "You saved my old life, and this Zhaoyue Lion will be given to you." ”
Ding Ning's face was full of strangeness, he knew that the old man called him in to thank him, but how could it feel so strange to give him his work as a gift.
Hurriedly waved his hand with a smile and said: "Old man, I can see that you like this moon lion very much, as the so-called gentleman does not win people's love, although I am not a gentleman, but I will not take people's favor, I am a doctor, it is the right thing to treat diseases and save people, I am not greedy for your gratitude to come, this moon lion you should keep it for yourself to appreciate." ”
"Are you sure you don't?"
I don't know if it's an illusion, Ding Ning actually felt that Old Man Su had a sense of relief, and nodded firmly: "I really don't want to." ”
Old man Su is indeed very reluctant to this moon lion, but the grace of saving his life is greater than the sky, although Ding Ning is his great-grandson, he has not enjoyed any shade of the Su family, he still wants to take out what he thinks is the most precious thing as a meeting gift.
Since Ding Ning insisted on not wanting it, Old Man Su was a little embarrassed while being happy, this kid didn't even want the most valuable moon lion, what else did he use as a meeting gift?
After thinking about it for a while, Old Man Su's eyes lit up: "Do you like calligraphy?"
"It's okay. ”
Ding Ning replied absentmindedly, but all his attention was attracted by a ballast stone pressed against rice paper on the desk.
That town stone looks ordinary, just a yellow broken stone in an irregular state, and I don't know how Old Man Su could make such a broken stone as a town stone.
If it weren't for the mermaid totem suddenly transmitting a strong fluctuation of desire to him, he wouldn't have looked at it at all.
"Otherwise, I have Li Kuchan's "Chifeng White Feather Picture", Wang Xizhi's "Huang Tingjing", Zhang Daqian's figure painting "Ladies", Qi Baishi's "Qunfang Fighting for Beauty", Chen Yifei's oil painting "Jiangnan Water Town", Zhao Mengfu's "Tuanliang Picture", Tang Bohu's "Autumn Wind Fan Picture", ...... You can choose whichever you like...... Two. ”
Old Man Su said with a painful face, every calligraphy and painting here is a valuable authentic handiwork, accompanied by him through every sleepless night, if you really want to give it away, it will be like cutting his flesh.
"I don't want either, I want that!"
Ding Ning didn't have much interest in calligraphy and painting, his eyes stared at the town stone, and he said without hesitation.
"Town Stone?"
Old Man Su asked with a strange expression.
"Is that okay?"
Ding Ning asked with some apprehension, although he didn't know what was so strange about this town stone, but the thing that could make the mermaid totem crave even in a coma was definitely not ordinary.
Since the old man put this ugly stone on his desk as a town stone, he thought that he knew its wonders, which made him inexplicably a little nervous, worried that he would not cut his love.
"Of course, but are you sure you want this broken stone?"
Old Man Su asked with an incredulous face.
"I'm sure, can you tell me where this stone came from?"
Ding Ning saw that Old Man Su had already agreed, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, and asked sincerely.
Old Man Su was curious in his heart, could this stone that he had been playing with for decades really not be a treasure.
But no matter what kind of treasure it is, as long as Ding Ning doesn't want his calligraphy and paintings, and doesn't want his jade carvings, it's easy to say.
I secretly rejoiced in my heart, but my face showed a deep color: "The origin of this stone is related to the set of boxing techniques I practiced before, and when I got that ancient book, it was stuck with this stone." ”
"Oh, tell me about the situation, old man. ”
Ding Ning's spirits perked up, he thought that the fragment of the ancient book that recorded boxing techniques would not leave any clues, but he didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected joy.
"I don't remember what year it was, when I was just a small company commander, I was ordered to go to a county below Hebi in Nanhe Province to carry out a mission, but I didn't expect that a traitor betrayed us, was ambushed by the Fusang devils, my company was scattered, the Fusang devils kept chasing and killing us, in a panic, I fled into Yunmeng Mountain, accidentally stumbled and fell off the cliff. ”
