Chapter 314: Poor Good Man
Generally, ancient jade, except for heirlooms, is mostly made from tombs.
Since ancient times, our country has admired jade, and nobles have to be buried with jade after death, and the aura of jade is used to ensure that they do not rot after death. Naturally, it is impossible to live forever, but the best jade is buried in the best feng shui treasure for thousands of years, and the internal structure will also change accordingly, becoming a natural magic weapon, which can be used on the body to avoid evil.
Of course, such good goods are hard to come by.
Ye Yi came to Panjiayuan today to find some good jade for his uncle as a thank you gift, and now he heard that his father had a good jade in his hand, and he was immediately moved.
"Why didn't you say it earlier!"
Ye Yi happily patted his father's shoulder.
Daddy said, "I didn't want to take this thing out, but I just ......"
"Something is a little hot?" Ye Yi asked.
Dad said, "It's not hot, I dug it up when I was working in the countryside 20 years ago, and later gave it to my wife, it's a token of our love...... I...... Anyway, if you want, let's make an appointment and I'll take you to my house! ”
"Don't make an appointment, just today!"
Ye Yi doesn't like to wait.
"But—"
Dad looked at Yu Yingying, who was looking expectant.
"You mean the roast duck thing?"
Daddy nodded.
Ye Yi said: "Actually, there are not many more of you!" ”
"That's unacceptable!"
Dad shook his head again and again, he was covered in mud and plaster, and he was pushing a bicycle with a bamboo basket, so he didn't look like someone who could enter a roast duck restaurant.
"Just keep an eye on me, a distinguished guest!" Ye Yi smiled and said, "Your jade may be a good treasure!" ”
"Eh, it's guaranteed to be good!"
Daddy's promise.
At this time, Long Jingli also drove over, and Ye Yi walked over and told him about the fact that he was going to take his father to eat roast duck together.
Long Jingli naturally had no opinion, but he was worried that Yu Yingying had an idea.
Ye Yi then said to Yingying: "There may be one more person who eats roast duck than expected." ”
"Who's more?"
Yu Yingying thought that Ye Yi was going to call her boyfriend, and she was excited.
Ye Yi pointed at his father.
Yu Yingying showed an obvious expression of regret.
But she also knew that what Lao Wei said before leaving was indeed too hurtful, and Ye Yi could agree to invite her to eat roast duck in that case, which was already very generous.
After thinking for a few minutes, she sighed and said, "You pay to be the east, of course, you are what you say!" ”
"Then it's decided!"
……
……
Halfway through the group eating roast duck, Dad took the thermos pot containing the rice and left.
After about ten minutes, he returned to the table, and the thermos in his hand was gone.
Seeing this, Ye Yi asked Long to salute and go to the bathroom under the pretext of going to the counter to ask about the situation.
Knowing that in addition to settling the roast duck account for them, Dad also asked the counter to wrap another duck and stuff it into a thermos pot to take back to the family to eat, Ye Yi's heart moved, and asked Long Jingli to wrap the three hundred yuan in oiled paper and stuff it into the duck that was scheduled to be put in the thermos pot.
She likes kind-hearted people.
……
……
After eating the roast duck, Ye Yi asked Long to salute Yu Yingying back to school, and he went to his father's house with Zhan Haiting.
Dad took the roast duck in the thermos pot and took Ye Yi and the others home.
Dad's house is some distance from the city, along the way Ye Yi and he kept chatting, only to know that this half-bald uncle is only in his early forties this year, working in a machinery factory in his early years, is a mechanical maintenance worker, a few years ago, laid-off, old and young, the family is very bad, this is the face of the state-owned enterprises began to practice stalls in Panjiayuan.
The things on the stall were all obtained by the contacts he had accumulated when he was working in the machinery factory and took advantage of the opportunity to repair machines in the branch factory, some of which were valuable, and some of which were not clean.
"Xiao Ye, what the hell are you doing at home! How can you have so much money! Also, you look very knowledgeable, and you don't look like a young man at all! ”
Maybe it's been a long time since anyone put their hearts to it, and as he spoke, his father's title to Ye Yi has also changed from "Miss" and "Little Girl" to "Xiao Ye" and "Ye Yatou".
Ye Yi smiled and said, "I have a relative who is in the antique business, and I have learned a lot from him on weekdays. The money I transferred to you just now was actually from my relative. ”
"No wonder...... No wonder you call people when you withdraw money from me! So that's what happened. ”
Thinking back to the bank, Dad was immediately persuaded by Ye Yi's excuse.
"But Xiao Ye, if the contents of the tin can are not worth anything at all, will that relative of yours blame you! It's ...... after all."
Ye Yi shook his head and said, "Those who do antique trading pay attention to intuition and gambling!" Losing 100,000 yuan is an unbearable loss for ordinary people, but for those of us who do antiques, it is a normal thing! ”
"That's what I said......"
Dad sighed and took Ye Yi and Zhan Haiting into a somewhat dilapidated courtyard.
Of course, this courtyard house cannot be compared with the courtyard house that Ye Yi walked around on the day he visited the Forbidden City.
The courtyard house that Ye Yi visited was the residence of the officials of the previous dynasty, and the structure was exquisitely detailed, while the courtyard house where his father lived was a pauper household that could be seen at a glance, the ground was pitted, there was not even a single intact floor tile, the yellow mud was watery, the house was low and low, and the mud walls were leaking everywhere.
"Yo, Dad, you still live in a courtyard house!"
Ye Yi took out a handful of candy and coaxed the noisy children forward.
Daddy's face turned red and he said, "It rained a few days ago, and the ground is a little dirty!" Remember to walk on the bricks! ”
"Hmm!"
Ye Yi agreed, followed his father and walked under the eaves of his father's house by stepping on the bricks on the yellow mud.
"Wait a minute, I'll put things away."
Dad said embarrassedly, parked the bicycle by the earthen wall, got the bamboo basket full of guys, and put it under the eaves.
Then, he handed the thermos pot containing the roast duck to his daughter, who came out after hearing the news.
The daughter is more than ten years old, and she was a little surprised when she saw Ye Yi and Zhan Haiting, but when she saw the roast duck in the thermos pot and the thermos pot, she was overjoyed and said, "Roast duck!" Dad, you actually brought back roast duck! ”
"Don't ask so much! Quickly call your grandparents and aunts, and everyone will eat while it's hot! ”
"Dad, don't you want to eat? And these two guests......"
"I've already eaten, and two guests invited me to eat."
When the daughter heard this, she didn't ask any more questions and carried the thermos pot into the house.
"Eat roast duck!"
In a few moments, the lights came on in the low hut, and two gray-haired old men and a woman in her thirties and forties, and her father's daughter, dragged a lame table to the bed, and ate roast duck around the table with the sick woman on the bed.
Looking at their poor but optimistic appearance, Ye Yi felt a feeling.
Dad rubbed his hands and said, "Xiaoye, let's talk here." ”
