Walking into Deng's house, a very well-dressed middle-aged man was sitting on a chair. Chang Xing and Deng Chengfu came in, and the middle-aged man was stroking a chair with his hands. This chair was made by Chang Xing before he was two years old.
One of the pieces of furniture that had been purchased for 3 months. The middle-aged man was naturally He Chengyu.
"Mr. He, this is Master Chang." Entering the house, Deng Chengfu introduced him to He Chengyu.
He Chengyu looked back and stood up quickly: "Hello, Master Chang. Nice to meet you! Mr. Deng and I are good friends. This time I came to the East China Sea and came here to see Mr. Deng. As soon as I entered Mr. Deng's home,
I saw this set of furniture you made. To be honest, when I first saw this set of furniture, I thought Mr. Deng had moved the furniture from the palace to his home. If Mr. Deng hadn’t told me,
This set of furniture was made very recently, I can’t believe it.”
He Chengyu came over to shake hands with Chang Xing enthusiastically.
Chang Xing glanced at He Chengyu. He Chengyu was indeed very dignified and different from ordinary businessmen.
"Master Chang, I have a batch of golden nanmu in my hand, and I am looking for a master to make it into furniture. As long as it is as good as Mr. Deng's furniture, I will be very satisfied," He Chengyu said.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to go to Xiangjiang, so I can't help you with this." Chang Xing refused directly.
"Wait. It's no problem if you can't go to Xiangjiang. I can send the wood to the East China Sea. You can make it into furniture for me here. But the finished product is inconvenient to transport and can easily cause damage. If Master Chang can go to Xiangjiang, then
It couldn't be better." He Chengyu said quickly.
"Master Chang, don't refuse yet. You go back and think about it carefully before making a decision. Mr. He Chengyu is a good friend of mine, and he has done a lot for our country. Mr. He Chengyu came to Donghai City and was very valued. So, I hope
Master Chang can think about it carefully," Deng Chengfu said.
"Master Chang, listen to me. In Xiangjiang, this kind of classical furniture, especially if it can be made so beautifully, is very valuable in Xiangjiang. A set of furniture like this can be put up for auction at an auction house in Xiangjiang and sold.
A price in the millions would not be unusual." He Chengyu quickly added.
"So expensive?" This was the first time Chang Xing heard of such a thing, and he was naturally extremely surprised.
"It's a bit expensive." He Chengyu smiled and looked at Deng Chengfu. "But this kind of art is hard to find. Gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times. These things will be even more expensive in the future."
Deng Chengfu also said: "Yes. In European and American countries, a famous painting can easily cost one million, or even tens of millions. They are dollars and pounds, which are more valuable than our RMB. But I believe that in the future, these arts in our country will
The value of the product will also become higher and higher.”
"So, if Master Chang goes to Xiangjiang, he will definitely be very popular. He has a bright future." He Chengyu said.
"My family is in the East China Sea, and I will not go to Xiangjiang." Chang Xing refused without hesitation.
"Master Chang, don't be too busy to refuse. Even if you are not planning to go to Xiangjiang for development, how about you do me a favor and go to Xiangjiang to help me make this batch of golden nanmu furniture?" Seeing Chang Xing's determination, He Chengyu said,
I can only take a step back.
"With your skills, a batch of furniture won't take too long. If you go to Xiangjiang to make a batch of furniture, you will earn several times more than if you made furniture in Donghai for a year. In this way, you can live in Donghai easily.
By the way, your hukou is still in the countryside. Mr. He is a customer who is valued by the senior leaders of Donghai City. If you can meet his requirements, Mr. He can help you speak to the city leaders and transfer your and your children's hukou.
Moving to the East China Sea is not a problem at all." Mansion Deng Cheng heard a little bit about Chang Xing's family of three. Snobs like Chang Xing's mother-in-law Shen Zhuru are not a minority in society.
Chang Xing was hesitant. He was still worried that if he went to Xiangjiang, Chang Qing would not know how to arrange it: "If I leave, there will be no one to take care of my son. My wife is still studying in college."
"This is easy to handle. You can take Mr. Ling to Xiangjiang with you. I specially asked the best tutor to help you train Mr. Ling." He Chengyu said immediately.
"Yes, the quality of tutors in Xiangjiang is very high. Upper-class elites like Mr. He have received elite education from tutors since childhood," Deng Chengfu said.
"I have to go back and discuss this matter with my wife before I can make a decision." Chang Xing said.
"Okay. Of course, such a big matter cannot be decided so quickly. It is human nature to go back and discuss it with your wife. Master Chang, I am very sincere to you. I will stay in Donghai for a few days.
, I hope Master Chang can make a decision as soon as possible." He Chengyu said.
Chang Xing didn't eat at Deng Cheng's house and hurried back home. Chang Qing stayed at home alone. Although he was very sensible and obedient, Chang Xing still felt uneasy. When he returned home, he saw Chang Qing
Qing is still stacking blocks, taking them down and stacking them into other shapes. Almost every time, the buildings that are stacked up are completely non-repeating.
"Son, are you hungry?" Chang Xing shook a brown paper bag in front of Chang Qing.
Chang Qing immediately jumped up excitedly: "Onion lard cake! It's so good!"
Chang Qing immediately pounced forward, trying to snatch the green onion and lard pancake from Chang Xing's hand, but Chang Xing raised his hand high at the last moment, letting the little guy pounce.
"Give it to me." Chang Qing jumped up high, but still couldn't reach it.
Chang Xing pouted, and just when he was about to get angry, the onion-flavored lard cake was delivered to his hand.
"Dad is a big bad guy!" Chang Qing cursed and ran away holding the scallion lard cake.
"Then should I bring delicious food back in the future?" Chang Xing said to himself.
"Yes, yes, of course." Chang Qing ran over quickly, hugged Chang Xing's thigh and shook it hard.
"Okay, okay, I will bring delicious food back to the little greedy cat in the future." Chang Xing said.
As soon as the little guy heard the word "cat", he burst into tears.
"What's wrong? The onion-flavored lard pancake doesn't taste good?" Chang Xing was a little surprised.
"I miss my master. And the old cat, Dahuang." Chang Qing hugged the scallion pancake and cried.
"I think so too. But if we go back, mom will be alone in the East China Sea. Your grandma is so fierce, who will protect mom in the future?" Chang Xing asked.
"Grandma is really an old witch. Dad, don't you know magic? Just kill that old witch." Chang Qing said.
"You brat, be careful if your mother hears you and beats you up. You can't talk like that in the future, you know? Children don't understand adult matters," Chang Xing said.
"Dad, you teach me Zhuang Kung Fu every year, when will you teach me spells?" Chang Qing asked.
"We'll wait until you master Zhuang Kung Fu." Chang Xing said.
"But I think my pile skills have been practiced very well!" Chang Qing said.
"It's not enough. Even if you master the pile skills, you still have to wait." Chang Xing said.
"Still waiting? When?" the little guy said angrily.
"When you can clearly distinguish things, have you memorized the Tao Te Ching?" Chang Xing asked.
"What's wrong with violating the Tao Te Ching?" the little guy asked.
"Cultivate your moral character. Your current temperament will harm you if you teach you Taoism. Taoism is just a small skill. If you practice the small way, you will learn the great way." Chang Xing said.
Wu Wanyi came back a little late in the evening, and the food was almost cold.
"Why are you back so late today?" Chang Xing asked.
"There are academic activities in school today. Chang Xing, don't wait for me to have dinner in the future. I may participate in more school activities. I want to live in the school dormitory in the future, which will make it easier to study. Otherwise, I will often not participate
Group activities are nothing special. And the studies are very tight. I may have to go to class in the evening. It is very inconvenient to run back and forth. I plan to come back on weekends in the future." Wu Wanyi said.
"You only come back one day a week?" Chang Xing asked.
"Do you think I don't want to come back every day? I also want to see my son and you every day. But the pressure of studying is too great. If I continue like this, I won't be able to keep up with my classmates at work." Wu Wanyi said.
"Actually, I also have something I want to discuss with you." Chang Xing said.
"What happened?" Wu Wanyi asked.
"Director Cao's lover, Professor Deng, came to see me. He has a friend in Xiangjiang who is a wealthy businessman in Xiangjiang. He recently came to Donghai and saw the set of furniture I made at Director Cao's house. He wanted to invite me to go to Xiangjiang to make furniture for him.
"Chang Xing just said this when he was interrupted by Wu Wanyi.
"How can that be done? If you go to Xiangjiang, who will care about your son?" Wu Wanyi was instinctively worried.
"Don't worry, son, I'll take him there. The wealthy businessman said he would hire a tutor. I just need to concentrate on making furniture for his home. I was a little worried about you at first, but you just said that you are under a lot of pressure to study now. That's good for you.
I went to Xiangjiang to study, and I took my son to Xiangjiang to find work." Chang Xing said.
"Then what if I want to see my son?" Wu Wanyi panicked.
"I went to Xiangjiang to look for work, and I will come back after finishing this job. A wealthy businessman from Xiangjiang said that he would talk to the city leaders and ask them to take care of us and move my household registration to Donghai. This way our family will be able to live in the future.
If you live here, you won't have any worries," Chang Xing said.
"Then you, when are you going to leave?" Wu Wanyi was a little flustered.
"I don't know yet. It should be soon." Chang Xing said.
"What if I don't let you go?" Wu Wanyi said.
Chang Xing looked at Wu Wanyi quietly and did not answer.
"I know that recently because of the pressure at home, I have been a little confused and lost my temper with you. But I have never wavered." Wu Wanyi said.
"Me neither. I believe you won't either. But I want to give my son a stable life. This house is not ours, and it might be taken away one day. By then, should I take my son back to Xianji
Bridge? Although I am willing to go back to Xianji Bridge, and my son is also willing, but we don’t want to leave you alone in the East China Sea. I am the man of this family, and I have to support this family." Chang Xing said.
"If I had known earlier, I would not have entered college. We could have lived a happy and stable life in Xianji Bridge." Wu Wanyi said quietly.
"That's fine. My son always wants to come out and see the world. We can't limit his vision to Xianji Bridge," Chang Xing said.
The next morning, Wu Wanyi was a little reluctant to go to school. She was afraid that if she went to school, Chang Xing and his son would suddenly leave, leaving her alone in Donghai.
He Chengyu's skills were indeed very powerful. Someone came to Chang Xing's residence the next day. They were government officials from Donghai City and several street cadres.
"Comrade Chang Xing, we have learned about your family's situation. The situation of your family of three is very special. Comrade Wu Wanyi responded to the country's call to go to the mountains and countryside and stayed in the countryside for many years. Now through her own efforts, she has been admitted to university.
Returning to Donghai. Ordinarily, it is natural for your family to come to Donghai. But your household registration is still in the countryside. After the city leaders learned about your situation, they decided to take special measures to solve the household registration problem for you and your son.
In addition, the city will allocate the place where you live now to you. The city will send people to help you with the household registration issue. I hope you will help the city receive the Xiangjiang compatriots." A middle-aged man who looked like a cadre was quite polite.
Send the city's spirit to Chang Xing.
Chang Xing really didn't expect He Chengyu to be so sincere. But Chang Xing also knew that for someone to spend such a large sum of money, what he wanted was certainly not small. He was going to Xiangjiang on this trip, and I'm afraid he wouldn't be back soon.
Wu Wanyi was completely distracted at school that day and returned home early.
Chang Xing told Wu Wanyi what happened today: "I can't even think about this situation now."
Wu Wanyi said nothing, covering her face and lying on her legs, still shrouded in the black waterfall formed by her long hair, her body shaking constantly.
"It's just a set of furniture. I'll be back soon," Chang Xing said.
"When you are polite, you must ask for something! I have put so much effort into it, and it is impossible for you to come back so quickly." Wu Wanyi said.
"Tell me, you said yesterday that you were under a lot of pressure to study and wanted to live on campus. I'm going to Xiangjiang with my son for a while. Can't you just study in peace and mind?" Chang Xing said.
"People say angry words, can't you see? You are always angry with me these days. I can't even say an angry word?" Wu Wanyi said.
"Then why don't I refuse? At worst, we don't need Donghai's household registration." Chang Xing said.
"You are stupid. It took a lot of effort to transfer your household registration. If you work in Xiangjiang for a few months, you will make more than if you work in Donghai for several years. The city leaders still pay so much attention to it. How can you not go? If you don't go
, this house will definitely be taken back by the government, where will our family live in the future?" Wu Wanyi said.
"What should we do?" Chang Xing said with a wry smile.
"Go ahead. I'm going back to school for now. When you come back, I'll stay here." Wu Wanyi said.
The next morning, a shiny black car, which is also very rare in Donghai, parked on the road below the house where Chang Xing's family lived. Chang Xing's family of three stood on the roadside. Chang Xing took a toolbox and a
The suitcase. The people sent by He Chengyu helped Chang Xing put the tool box and suitcase into the trunk of the car. Then they let Chang Xing and his son get in the car.
Just when Chang Xing was holding the little guy's hand and preparing to get into the car, Wu Wanyi caught up with her son and hugged her son tightly.
"When you get there, listen to dad. Mom will call you often, you know?" Wu Wanyi burst into tears.
"Wanyi, you are here alone and take care of yourself." Chang Xing said.
"I know, you have to take good care of yourself and your son." Wu Wanyi arranged the clothes of Chang Xing and his son.
"Master Chang, we still have to catch a flight. The leader asked us to hurry up." The driver was worried that the family of three would talk endlessly and affect the revolutionary mission assigned to him by his superiors.
"Okay, let's go. I will live in the school today." Wu Wanyi let go of her son and straightened out the wrinkles on Chang Xing's clothes.
Chang Xing and his son got into the car, and the car roared away. Wu Wanyi's heart seemed to leave with the car, and she stood empty on the road.
A leaf fell from the tree and fluttered in the air.
