Chen Ran's trip to the Mu family turned out to be quite depressing. Not only was Chen Ran a little depressed, but Mu Weiwei was also extremely depressed.
Mu Gang's family now lives next to the vegetable market. Mu Gang's parents rented a store in the vegetable market. The store has a front door with two entrances, and the cooking is done in the store.
The vegetable store is not big and only sells some vegetables and potatoes.
Mu Gang's mother Liu Cui'e looks a little old, probably caused by overwork, while Mu Gang's father Mu Laoshi is in poor health and has been lying in bed.
Regarding Chen Ran's arrival, Liu Cui'e was a little dazed at first, but then she became extremely enthusiastic. It was just that she was a little too enthusiastic. She completely regarded Chen Ran as her son-in-law, and pulled Chen Ran to ask questions. She didn't care at all.
Giving Mu Weiwei a chance to explain made Mu Weiwei extremely anxious.
Although Chen Ran explained it clearly at the end, Liu Cui'e was prescient and didn't believe what Chen Ran said at all. She only thought that her daughter had a boyfriend outside and wanted to bring her back to her, but because of her thin skin, she didn't believe what Chen Ran said.
, I helped my boyfriend make up such a reason.
Their son has been missing for more than ten years. Although the couple has been thinking about their son for many years, after such a long time and experiencing disappointment again and again, they have long given up the idea of finding their son.
The son-in-law who brought Chen Ran back as her daughter, Liu Cui'e often glared at Mu Weiwei secretly, secretly blaming Mu Weiwei for bringing her boyfriend back without telling her in advance, leaving her unprepared, and it didn't matter if she didn't talk about it at home.
Good things to entertain guests.
"Mom..." Mu Weiwei made a sad face. She didn't know how many times she had to explain it, and now she didn't know what to say.
Chen Ran was also a little depressed, but he couldn't say it clearly. After all, Liu Cui'e only regarded him as her son-in-law, but didn't say it clearly. Furthermore, he didn't know much about Mu Gang, who was in the detention center.
The matter must not be told. The rest, he knows, Mu Weiwei also knows. In this case, even if he tells it, Liu Cui'e will definitely regard it as Mu Weiwei telling him.
He wanted to call Wang Wentao and see if he could let Mu Gang and Liu Cui'e have a word on the phone, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.
You can mention this idea to Mu Gang after you leave. Whether Mu Gang is willing to contact his family now depends on Mu Gang's own wishes. After all, after so many years, Mu Gang is still being held in the detention center.
He couldn't open his mouth either.
Chen Ran had dinner at Mu Weiwei's house. She couldn't help it. Liu Cui'e was too enthusiastic. Mu Weiwei's house sells vegetables. The most indispensable thing is probably vegetables. Although there is no big fish or meat, the style is better.
many.
Chen Ran also moved all the gifts he bought out of the car. Although Liu Cui'e said that she would come as soon as she came and she didn't bring anything with her, but looking at her expression, she knew that these words were just polite words, and she didn't know how happy she was.
He's breathing.
When Chen Ran gave Mu Weiwei the mobile phone he bought for her, Liu Cui'e was even more convinced of her guess.
Mu Weiwei said nothing with a grimace. Liu Cui'e was still urging her to accept it. In the end, she had no choice but to accept it, but she glared at Chen Ran angrily.
When visiting Mu Laoshi, Chen Ran also secretly used the energy aperture to condition Mu Laoshi's body. However, he did not do it so obviously. He just adjusted it slightly, preparing to slowly adjust it later. This was done for the purpose of
It gives people the illusion that Mu Laoshi's body is slowly recovering, that is, it is recovering normally, and others will naturally not suspect him.
After dinner, Chen Ran and Mu Weiwei left Mu's house together. Mu Weiwei had to stay in the school dormitory at night, so Chen Ran drove her off.
Mu Weiwei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had a tense pretty face, looking straight ahead and ignoring Chen Ran. She was obviously suffocated.
"Chen Ran, are you telling the truth? Are you my eldest brother's friend? Have you really met my eldest brother?"
When they were halfway there, Mu Weiwei finally couldn't help it anymore and asked a series of questions.
"Why is this fake? Why did I lie to you..."
"Then...this...what should we do now?"
Mu Weiwei was extremely worried. After all, she was just a student who had not yet entered the society. She had never had a boyfriend until now. When encountering such a thing, she naturally didn't know what to do. Now her mother
They all regarded Chen Ran as their son-in-law, and kept asking Chen Ran to come again next time...
"It's okay. Just explain it later. If you don't understand clearly, just call me then." Chen Ran comforted Mu Weiwei while driving.
"That's all."
Mu Weiwei sighed helplessly, and then she remembered that Chen Ran had followed her and was misunderstood by her mother, so she said sheepishly: "Chen Ran, I'm sorry, my mother is like this, don't take it to heart...
…”
Chen Ran shook his head and said it was nothing.
Mu Weiwei placed the mobile phone she had been holding on to in front of the SUV again, lowered her head and whispered: "Chen Ran, I put this mobile phone here for you. It's too valuable, I can't have it..."
"Take it, think of it as a gift from your eldest brother. When your eldest brother and I separated, I promised him that I would make your family live a good life. If you hold the mobile phone, what will happen to you in the future?
Well, you might as well call me."
The conditions in Mu Gang's family were obviously not very good, but Chen Ran did not give them money rashly. Giving money directly was not necessarily a good thing. He could just make more trips to Mu Gang's house when he had the opportunity in the future.
Mu Weiwei lowered her head and said nothing. After a while, she raised her head and looked at Chen Ran and whispered: "Chen Ran, can you tell me about eldest brother?"
Chen Ran nodded and told Mu Weiwei some general experiences about Mu Gang, but he didn't know much about it. He only talked about Mu Gang's time in the Myanmar army. Of course, some things were concealed by him.
After that, in fact, he mentioned these matters to Liu Cui'e as soon as they were at Mu Weiwei's house, but Liu Cui'e didn't believe it at all and interrupted him after a few words.
This is also what makes him a little depressed.
After finishing the matter, the off-road vehicle arrived at the gate of Tianzhong University.
"Chen Ran, I'm sorry to trouble you..."
Mu Weiwei left a message to Chen Ran, stepped out on her beautiful legs, turned around and ran away.
After Mu Weiwei ran into the campus, Chen Ran drove the car and was about to leave. The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. When he took it out, he saw that it was Cao Huiyao calling.
Chen Ran quickly got through, but after being connected, no one spoke. After asking several times, no one said anything.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ran called again, but no one answered. This made him a little confused, so he could only hang up the phone again and drive home.
But just after leaving the city, Cao Huiyao called again.
"Aran, did you call me just now?" After the call was connected, Cao Huiyao's soft voice came.
While driving the car, Chen Ran put the phone to his ear and said, "Sister Huiyao, it was you who called me. After I got through, no one spoke, so I called you again."
"Did I call you?"
Cao Huiyao shook her head strangely, and then said with some surprise: "I didn't call you. By the way, Ruoruo was playing with my phone just now. She couldn't have called you, right?"
"Then she probably hit her."
Chen Ran hasn't seen Ruoruo for a while, and I don't know if she's feeling better recently.
Thinking of this, Chen Ran asked: "Sister Huiyao, are you feeling better during this time?"
When he asked this question, no one answered him on the other end of the phone. After waiting for a while, Cao Huiyao's happy voice came: "Aran, it was Ruoruo who called you just now. She must have missed you.
Please say a few words to her."
As Cao Huiyao said this, she happily put the phone to Ruoruo's ear and asked Ruoruo to talk to Chen Ran.
Chen Ran was driving the car while talking to Ruoruo. Now Ruoruo's situation was much better than last time. When Chen Ran was talking to her, she even spoke, although she usually only said one word.
.
Chen Ran promised Cao Huiyao to take some time to go to Zhongdu during this period. Cao Huiyao hung up the phone and Chen Ran also arrived home.
Zhu Feng is very fast.
The next day, I called Chen Ran and told him that the foundry master had been invited and asked Chen Ran to come to the sword factory. He had already brought someone there.
Chen Ran was quite surprised. He really didn't expect Zhu Feng to be so fast. Without further ado, he hung up the phone, drove the car, and rushed to the sword factory immediately.
When they arrived in front of the sword factory, Zhu Feng was already waiting here with someone.
"Brother Chen, come, let me introduce you, this is Master Wu."
As soon as Chen Ran got out of the car, Zhu Feng came up to him with a smile and introduced an old man to Chen Ran.
Chen Ran raised his eyes and saw that the old man was wearing a Tang suit with gray hair. Although he was a bit older, his body was very strong and gave people a strong feeling. However, his temper seemed not to be very good. Zhu Feng introduced him and the other party
They knew each other, but the other party snorted and put on a bad face.
Chen Ran laughed it off, opened the door of the sword factory, and led everyone in. He first showed them around the entire sword factory, and during the spare time, Zhu Feng also told Chen Ran the details about Old Man Wu.
Old Man Wu's forging skills are inherited from his family. There used to be a sword factory in his family. Over the years, competition has become fierce in any business. Old Man Wu is a traditional blacksmith who doesn't know how to improve. Facing the fiercely competitive market, business will naturally not do well.
.
That's not all. The key point is that the old man has two sons. None of the two sons is willing to inherit his mantle. Not to mention that they are not willing to inherit his mantle. Now that they are older and married, they are still making noises about dividing the family.
Although the Wu family's sword factory was not big, the land was still worth a lot of money. Seeing that the sword factory's business was not doing well, the two sons decided to transfer the sword factory out and the money they got was divided equally between them.
Old man Wu was so angry that he simply gave up and let them make trouble. As a result, the Wu family's sword factory was sold by his two sons. After that, old man Wu stayed idle at home until he was hired by Zhu Feng.
come out.
Zhu Feng went to invite Old Man Wu. Old Man Wu was so disheartened that he was originally unwilling to go out, but Zhu Feng could not let him get what he wanted. In the end, Old Man Wu had no choice but to agree.
After hearing Zhu Feng's introduction to Old Man Wu, Chen Ran was quite satisfied. What his sword factory needed was such a traditional casting master, and Old Man Wu also brought four apprentices, which saved him a lot.
thing.
Although Old Man Wu has a bad temper, he does not act carelessly at all. After contacting Chen Ran, he found that Chen Ran was not that kind of young man, so he gradually became more friendly, and after listening to Chen Ran
When it was said that they were required to forge weapons according to ancient methods, they even started studying it with Chen Ran.
After Zhu Feng left, Old Man Wu and his four apprentices moved directly into the sword factory. Originally, Chen Ran was going to hire a cook, but Old Man Wu directly asked her wife to move here too, saying that they had been in his previous work.
When the Wu Family Sword Factory was working, it was his wife who cooked the food.
Naturally, Chen Ran would not refuse.
In the next day or two, Chen Ran spent time in the sword factory teaching Old Man Wu the casting process of Kunwu Country's metallurgical technology. After they had mastered it, Chen Ran went to purchase various raw materials to prepare formulas. Old Man Wu then
While experimenting, I became familiar with the casting tools and process.
By the time Chen Ran had prepared all the formulas, Old Man Wu had almost mastered it proficiently. In fact, there was not much he could master. Old Man Wu himself was a traditional forger. As long as he remembered the various processes of Kunwu Country's forging technology,
Just follow the order and how to use the ingredients.
Chen Ran will not leak the ingredients formula to others. As long as he controls this, he is not afraid that Kunwu Country's metallurgical technology will be learned. Even if it is learned, it will be of little use without the ingredients.
Chen Ran divided the formula of Kunwu's sword into two grades. The best grade is the one he made himself. This kind of sword will be sold in limited quantities. The remaining one is considered to be mid-grade, and Old Man Wu will make it professionally in the future.
As for the Kunwu knife, there is only one kind. This kind is naturally not of the level made by Chen Ran, and the grade has also been lowered.
After teaching Old Man Wu how to forge, Chen Ran finally got out of the sword factory. He no longer had to do everything in the future, and he could also do other things.
But at this time, he was faced with a very important and critical problem.
That means he has no money.
During this period of time, because there were a lot of ingredients prepared, enough to last half a year, he spent all the remaining money at once, and it would take at least half a month for the sword factory to be profitable.
Chen Rang had just escaped from the sword factory, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he was about to face this problem. Before he could figure out how to solve this problem, he suddenly received a call from Li Yuzhi.
Something happened at home!
