Chapter Nine: Only after a full stomach can we talk about other things
Following the Sihui Bridge on Jianguo Road, along the East Fourth Ring Road to the West Fourth Ring Road, after passing Jinyuan Bridge, Qin Mo finally got off the expressway at Shuangyu Bridge.
At first, Qin Mo drove on a spacious four-lane road, but soon he drove into a narrow lane. The surrounding buildings became lower and lower, and finally Qin Mo stopped in front of a private house.
Li Xiang had good skills and kept an appropriate distance from Qin Mo, which did not arouse Qin Mo's suspicion.
Unknowingly, several people have arrived at Heiquan Community in Tongjia Village, which is only a few kilometers away from the East Sixth Ring Road.
"It's a good thing I refueled this morning, otherwise we would have been choked to go back today." Li Xiang was also a little confused as to why Yi Yao was chasing him so far.
Yi Yao had no time to explain to Li Xiang, so he asked Li Xiang to park the motorcycle far away and follow Qin Mo quietly.
Yi Yao can be considered an authentic Beijinger, but this is her first time coming to this place.
Heiquan Community is built on the mountain. The village is very small, with only about a hundred households. The unknown hills nearby are full of various flowers and trees, which appear to be cash crops for local villagers.
Yi Yao also quickly discovered the difference in Heiquan Community. There are bamboos planted at the door of every house here. Most of the varieties are purple bamboo. Although it is not as majestic as the purple bamboo in Zizhuyuan Park, it has a different flavor when walking among the stone roads.
In an exquisite-looking wooden house at the foot of the mountain, Qin Mo had already arrived at his destination. Because there was only a very narrow path in front of the door, cars could not enter. Qin Mo could only drive the car with a middle-aged man in his forties.
The things on the bed were moved to the wooden house.
In front of this man, the anger on Qin Mo's face disappeared, and the attitude of the little gangster was completely gone.
Yi Yao guessed that this man should be Qin Mo's father and Zhang Yan's ex-husband Qin Yanshan.
Seeing that Qin Mo wouldn't leave soon, Yi Yao and Li Xiang simply enjoyed the scenery among the flowers and trees all over the mountains and plains.
"You just said that Chen Lu was moving today, why didn't this little girl tell me?" Qin Mo suddenly remembered the move.
"Chen Lu said you were busy, so why don't you ask me for help?" After saying that, Li Xiang stretched out his watch and handed it to Yi Yao: "Just now? This was two hours ago, and it was just now. You, boss
What are you doing all the way here?"
Yi Yao shrugged, pointed to the wooden house not far away with his chin, and then said: "It's not all Qin Mo's fault. The two of us are now at odds with each other. If we keep going like this, the new company will be ruined sooner or later.
Don’t I want to improve our relationship? Even if it’s not to the level of a bastard looking at mung beans, at least we can’t fight against each other every day like we are now. By the way, where did Chen Lu move?”
Li Xiangdao: "Jinghuiyuan District 1, not far from Sihui subway station."
Yi Yao didn't think much about it, and didn't even consider how Chen Lu could afford to rent a house in Jing Huiyuan.
Qin Yanshan is a craftsman. He is tall and thin. His long hair is tied in a hairpin and he has the aloof temperament of an artist. Although his hair is white, he does not look decadent and weak.
At the door of Qin Yanshan's house, there is a sign indicating the inheritor of Daoming bamboo weaving, telling his identity as a craftsman.
In his early years, Qin Yanshan relied on his craftsmanship to make bamboo weaving products with the people in the village, and he has always been loved by the villagers. But later, with the improvement of people's living standards, daily necessities were basically replaced by plastic and metal products, and bamboo weaving-
—In particular, the market for handmade bamboo products in Heiquan Community has gradually disappeared.
Later, most of the young people in the Black Rock community changed their careers to other jobs, and only the old people in the village still persist in the bamboo weaving craft.
At present, only a few bosses in the south have taken a fancy to Qin Yanshan's craftsmanship when traveling, and occasionally come here to collect some bamboo weaving products to take back as gifts.
However, due to the sluggish market and the fact that the price of bamboo woven products has been driven down very low by mechanized production, Qin Yanshan's income is very bleak and he often relies on his daughter for financial support.
Qin Mo was uncharacteristically packing things in the cabin, and occasionally helped. The bamboo weaving process is complicated. In addition to the basic processes of breaking and splitting bamboo strips, there are also secret techniques such as "Guo Jianmen Knife". Although dyeing and carbonization look like
It's simple, but it also requires long-term accumulated experience to master the know-how.
Compilation seems to be the most tedious, but it is actually the easiest way to ease into the process.
Qin Mo has been exposed to it since she was a child, so she is obviously very good at it, and the finished bamboo strips actually look lively and majestic in her hands.
Qin Mo hesitated several times but still didn't take out the necklace. His father, Qin Yanshan, had deep feelings for Zhang Yan. Although they had been divorced for ten years, Qin Yanshan had never remarried.
The reason why Qin Mo knew more was because Qin Yanshan didn't want Qin Mo to be awkward, but Qin Mo knew about his feelings for Zhang Yan.
Before leaving, Qin Mo quietly put 5,000 yuan under Qin Yanshan's pillow. A few days ago, she learned from the villagers that suppliers in the south had increased prices, and this batch of bamboo cost 5,000 yuan more. Qin Mo
Yanshan has been having a headache.
Qin Yanshan's eyes filled with tears when he saw the money under the pillow. He was grateful for his daughter's meticulousness, but he felt more guilty because he couldn't give his daughter money and asked her to support him.
Originally, a big boss in the south wanted to hire him as a senior technician in a processing factory in the south, but Qin Yanshan refused. There were too many people in Heiquan community that he couldn't let go of, not to mention that there were a large number of people here who made a living by weaving bamboo.
Poor man, when he left, the hopes of the villagers were completely shattered.
As soon as Qin Mo left, Yi Yao and the others entered the wooden house.
Hearing that Yi Yao was Qin Mo's "colleague", Qin Yanshan seemed very enthusiastic and put down his work to greet the two of them.
After chatting for more than two hours, seeing that the sky was getting dark, Yi Yao reluctantly left the wooden house.
Yi Yao found that she and Qin Yanshan got along very well. Qin Yanshan was similar to Yi Chengwen. They both had the aloofness and perseverance of the older generation, but the difference was that Qin Yanshan seemed to be a romantic person.
He speaks elegantly on the outside without seeming to be vulgar, and makes people feel friendly without even realizing it.
And his love and persistence in handicrafts reminded Yi Yao of his mother's dream again.
Yi Yao gained a lot from this trip.
The most important point is that Yi Yao finally knew what Qin Mo did with the money. She used to think that Qin Mo was the kind of materialistic girl who spent all the money on drinking and buying cosmetics and bags, but now she knows that Qin Mo's life
In fact, I live very frugally.
Qin Yanshan even told her that Qin Mo's expensive-looking cosmetics were actually ordinary cosmetics in different bottles.
For a moment, Yi Yao actually felt that Qin Mo was not so annoying.
And there is Zhang Yan.
Yi Yao guessed right. When Qin Mo was thirteen, Zhang Yan chose to divorce Qin Yanshan because she accidentally came into contact with her rich current boyfriend.
Qin Yanshan said: "Actually, I don't blame her. I was really too poor at that time. All my savings were only enough to buy a gold necklace. People can't talk about anything else until they have a full stomach."
But in fact, Zhang Yan's life is not easy now. Although her boyfriend is very rich, his family does not accept Zhang Yan, especially since Zhang Yan also has a daughter.
Therefore, her boyfriend and Zhang Yan signed a prenuptial agreement a long time ago, and the property of her boyfriend's family has nothing to do with Zhang Yan and Qin Mo. Ten years later, Zhang Yan still has not been able to get in, and her boyfriend's mother does not agree to their marriage.
, and it has been postponed until now.
My boyfriend is also divorced and has a son about the same age as Qin Mo, so my boyfriend is not in a hurry if he doesn't get married.
In the past, her boyfriend would give Zhang Yan some money from time to time to help her live a better life. Later, her boyfriend bought a house to settle down with mother and daughter, and the two of them met less and less. Her boyfriend was very controlling.
A driver and a nanny were assigned to Zhang Yan, and the money was paid to the nanny every month. For other expenses, Zhang Yan could only barely get some when her boyfriend came to the house.
Yi Yao guessed why Qin Mo was so impulsive in the morning. The gold necklace was obviously a wedding gift that Qin Yanshan spent all his savings to buy when Qin Yanshan and Zhang Yan got married.
Most of the doubts were solved, and Yi Yao also had a new understanding of Qin Mo.
Before leaving, Yi Yao was fascinated by a sparrow made of bamboo on the window sill for a long time. Qin Yanshan simply took it and gave it to Yi Yao. He also told Yi Yao: "Qin Mo is a good boy, timid and trustworthy.
From now on, I ask you to take more care of her."
Yi Yao finally accepted Qin Yanshan's gift.
But I disagree with Qin Mo's evaluation.
It was getting late and Yi Yao did not return to the company, so Li Xiang sent him home.
In front of the window sill, seeing Li Xiang carrying Yi Yao back, Chen Lu sighed, dragged her luggage, said goodbye to Yi Chengwen, and left the Yi family.
The two did not meet each other. When Yi Yao went upstairs, Chen Lu had already left.
However, seeing Ling Suhua sitting on the sofa in the living room and staring straight at Yi Yao, Yi Yao instantly became happy: "My dear mother, you are back, let your well-behaved, sensible and incomparable daughter be hugged."
Of course Yi Yao is very happy. Ling Suhua is back and the Yi family has returned to its former peace. How could she not be happy?
However, as soon as Yi Yao rushed to Ling Suhua, he saw an iron-green face looking at him gloomily.
"What's going on with you?" Ling Suhua's voice was low, and her eyes were even sharper: "Tell me the truth, have you been fired by the company? We have agreed before."
Glancing at the open master bedroom, Yi Yao realized that Ling Suhua didn't come back with luggage. Ling Suhua had no intention of coming back. She came here just to ask for help.
Thinking of the agreement with Ling Suhua, Yi Yao's face instantly darkened.
