56, Chronicle of Life(1/2)
"I am going to the capital next month. I estimate that I will have to stay in the capital for more than half a month. Let me tell you so that you can be prepared."
"What are you going to do in the capital?"
Wang Xinhua asked blankly, Qi Wang had never made any noise before, so how could he just say he was leaving?
Qi Wang said: "I'm going to participate in a competition. Boss Ma will go with me then, don't worry."
Wang Xinhua hummed and said nothing more.
After what happened with Qin Musi, although Wang Xinhua tried hard to repair the gap between them, Qi Wang was either busy embroidering or exercising every day. Except when they were eating, they could get along together.
She simply couldn't find the time to spend time with Qi Wang.
In the past, when she was in the village, Qi Wang would chat with her even when she was doing embroidery. They would talk a lot about their children and how they would live after their children get married.
At that time, although Wang Xinhua had to work in the fields every day, she felt comfortable in her heart.
But after entering the city, she no longer had to work in the fields, but the distance from Qi Wang was much further. In the past few months, she and Qi Wang had no time to chat...
Thinking of this, Wang Xinhua felt a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't express her emotions in front of Qi Wang.
After what happened to Qin Musi, Wang Xinhua unconsciously dwarfed Qi Juan when she was facing Qi Juan. She held back everything in her heart and did not dare to say anything to Qi Juan like before.
If this goes on, I will go crazy.
"Well, I also have something I want to discuss with you."
Qi Huan raised his eyebrows slightly. He raised his head and glanced at Wang Xinhua, who had a troubled face, and asked, "What?"
Wang Xinhua lowered her head, avoided Qi Wang's gaze, and said dullly: "I want to go to my mother's place. I haven't gone back since we moved to the city. It just so happens that you haven't been here for the past two days.
I'm too busy, I want to go back and see her."
Wang Xinhua wanted to go back to her parents' home. Qi Wang had no objection. He nodded and asked again.
"It's time to go back. Then do you want to take Baolai back to see his grandma?"
Qi Baolai has already gone on summer vacation. If he goes back with him, he won't delay his classes. Wang Xinhua usually likes to take Qi Baolai back with him when he goes back to his parents' home. His grandma is very fond of this child, so he can get close to her if he goes back with him.
I had something to tell my family when I went back this time, so I couldn't bring Qi Baolai back with me. It would be bad if he heard something. Thinking of this, Wang Xinhua shook her head and whispered, "I won't do it this time."
I brought it with me. It’s too hot. It takes more than two hours by car. Baolai is young and it will be troublesome if she suffers from heat stroke. I’ll go back alone. I’ll be back tomorrow afternoon at most.”
"That's it..." Qi Huan thought for a while and then said: "My embroidery is about to be finished. I have plenty of time. It's rare for you to go back once. Please stay for a few more days. I'll be here with you."
Wang Xinhua nodded, and the rolling pin in her hand rolled faster and faster, and each round dumpling wrapper was quickly rolled out.
Qi Wan didn't say anything more to Wang Xinhua. He just focused on Qi Baolai and patiently taught him how to make dumplings.
Qi Baolai is a dexterous child. After a short while of Qi Wang's teaching, he had already learned how to wrap dumplings in a decent way.
After lunch, Qi Wang took Qi Baolai out. More than two hours later, father and son came in from outside with large and small bags. Wang Xinhua, who was busy in the room, walked out quickly.
Looking at the things in the big and small hands, Wang Xinhua asked subconsciously: "Old Qi, why did you buy so many things?"
Qi Wan said matter-of-factly: "Aren't you going to your parents' house? It's rare for you to go back, and you can't go empty-handed. You can take all these back."
There was such a pile of food and drink, costing at least a few hundred dollars. Although Wang Xinhua was blaming Qi Huan for spending money indiscriminately, she felt very happy in her heart.
Isn't it because of her face that a man values her natal family? It seems that she still has some status in his heart.
Early the next morning, Qi Huan rode Wang Xinhua to the bus station. Watching the green minibus go away, Qi Huan changed direction and took Qi Baolai to the park for a fun day.
.
He has been so busy recently that he has neglected the child Qi Baolai. As he happens to have time recently, he has to make up for this child.
The father and son played until it was dark before returning. Qi Baolai sat on the crossbar in front of the bicycle, chattering non-stop.
"Dad, Dad, the park is so fun. Can you bring me here when you are not busy?"
Qi Wan smiled and nodded, agreeing.
Seeing that Qi Wang was so easy to talk to, Qi Baolai said more aggressively: "Then next time we come over, can dad buy me three popsicles?"
Qi Wang said helplessly: "This won't work."
Qi Baolai puffed up his mouth angrily: "Daddy is bad..."
"If you say bad things about me again, I won't buy you a popsicle next time."
"Dad is the best..."
The father and son talked and laughed, and soon arrived at the place. From a distance, Qi Wang saw a familiar car parked outside his house, and a fat man was leaning against the car and puffing away.
When he saw him, Qi Huan was slightly startled and pedaled a little faster than before.
"Old Qi, where have you been? I've been waiting for you for a long time..."
Looking at the man in front of him who looked like a little resentful woman, Qi Huan hurriedly stuffed Qi Baolai into his arms.
"The child's mother has returned to her parents' home. I took the child to the park to play."
It was a legitimate reason to spend time with the child. Boss Ma held the chubby Qi Baolai in his arms and listened to the child's soft milky voice. No matter how depressed he was, he dissipated.
Seeing that the resentment on Boss Ma's face disappeared, Qi Wan smiled, took out the key and opened the door, pushed the bicycle and walked in. Boss Ma immediately followed Qi Baolai in his arms.
After settling Boss Ma, Qi Huan gave Qi Baolai a bath as quickly as possible, put him to sleep, and then came to the living room.
Boss Ma looked at Qi Wan with resentment on his face and said gloomily: "I've been waiting for you for six full hours..."
Qi Wang raised his hand to refill his cup of tea, interrupting Boss Ma's complaint: "Okay, okay, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Tell me, what do you want to do after waiting for me for so long?"
"You are so boring, you don't know how to cooperate with me at all."
Boss Ma curled his lips and put away his resentful little wife look. He sat up straight and said with a serious face: "I have business with you."
Qi Wang nodded and motioned for the other party to continue speaking.
With the help of Boss Ma, Qi Wang took the embroidery drawings to the organizer of the last national embroidery competition and confirmed that the two embroidery pieces were his. The organizer returned the honor, trophy and participation bonus.
The other party thought that the owner of the embroidery was the wrong one because of his own mistakes, so he gave Qi Juan an additional three thousand yuan as compensation.
After obtaining these things, the two embroideries continued to be displayed by the organizer.
Boss Ma told Qi Wang that the organizer wanted to purchase these two works and hoped that Qi Wang could sell them to them. The price could be easily discussed.
After hearing what Boss Ma said, Qi Wang pondered for a moment and then asked: "You came here to wait for me for so long, not just to tell me this, right?"
Boss Ma smiled and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
After that, he had no intention of hiding anything from Qi Wang and told him everything he knew.
According to reliable information received by Boss Ma, the organizer is going to take these two embroidery pieces to participate in a foreign art competition.
National competitions are completely different from world-wide competitions. If you can get a ranking, Qi Wang's embroidery can go international.
"What I mean is, don't promise the other party yet. They can use your embroidery to participate in the competition, but we will wait until the rankings are announced. Our Chinese embroidery works are very popular with foreigners. The embroidery you embroidered
I have seen the two works, they are the best among the best. I think if they are presented internationally, they should be able to win awards."
Boss Ma really regards Qi Wan as a friend. On the one hand, he thinks that if Qi Wan's works really win international awards, the embroidery in his hands will have a lot of room for appreciation. On the other hand, he also sincerely
This is really for Qi Wang's sake. After all, the price of selling embroidery now will definitely not be as high as it will be in the future.
"Everything is up to you, Boss Ma. I'll leave it to you to negotiate this matter. If the negotiation is successful, I will give you 30%."
Seeing what Qi Wang said, Boss Ma breathed a sigh of relief and laughed heartily: "That's no need, as long as the embroidery you embroider in the future is given priority to me for sale."
Qi Wang nodded and said, "No problem."
The two happily reached an agreement, and then Boss Ma took another look at the Kowloon screen that Qi Huan had embroidered. Seeing that it was almost finished, Boss Ma told him to finish it as soon as possible so that he could have it framed.
Qi Wang agreed and sent Boss Ma out of the door.
The next night, Boss Ma came again and told Qi Wang that he had resolved the matter.
"Boss Zheng said that as long as you are willing to sell him two pieces of embroidery, he can wait."
"Boss Ma, thank you very much."
Qi Wang thanked him sincerely, and Boss Ma waved his hand towards Qi Wang and said nonchalantly: "We are all brothers, why are you so polite to me? Don't be strangers to me."
After hearing what he said, Qi Wang really didn't say anything else. Then he took Boss Ma into the room and showed him the Kowloon screen.
"How long has it been and you've actually finished the job?"
Looking at the nine lifelike golden dragons on the embroidered cloth in front of him, Boss Ma said in amazement.
"Old Qi, I feel relieved when I see the finished product. It would be unjust if you don't win the prize. Unfortunately, Boss Zheng and the others are leaving tomorrow. They can't wait for the screen to be ready. Otherwise, you can submit this work to the competition.
The world art competition, the first place..."
Boss Ma is indeed a businessman. He kept saying complimentary words one after another, and his eyes seemed to be stuck to the embroidered cloth, and he couldn't bear to move away.
"Hey, Lao Qi, are these dragons looking at me? Oh my god, this is really amazing. If I hadn't seen the unfinished product, I would have thought you were sealing a few golden dragons here.
The embroidered cloth looks just like the real thing..."
Boss Ma walked around in front of the embroidered cloth. No matter where he went, the golden dragon on the embroidered cloth was staring at him.
At this age, he had never seen such strange embroidery before. After circling the embroidered cloth several times, he stopped until he almost fainted.
"I can't do it anymore. I really can't do it. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a work of art. Lao Qi, how did your hands grow? Why are they so lucky? Compared with your hands, my hands are like two meat buns...
