Liu Dong, who had just opened his eyes, immediately felt the slightest pain coming from his head. He grinned, covered his head and screamed softly.
As the consciousness gradually cleared up in his mind, he also began to remember little by little what happened at the banquet in the afternoon.
"This wine is really harmful to people. I must never drink like this again!" Covering his aching head, Liu Dong turned over and sat up from the bed.
At this moment, Mr. Long opened the door and walked in. He looked at Liu Dong who was sitting on the bed and said with a smile: "Get up!"
"Well, Uncle Long, why am I here with you?" Liu Dong asked after looking at the surrounding environment.
"In the afternoon, when you were drunk, I asked Gangzi to carry you back!"
"Where are Brother Li and Brother Zhou?" Liu Dong asked.
"The two boys were also drunk, but they stayed at Lao Li's place!"
After saying that, Mr. Long took a towel, soaked it in the basin, put it in Liu Dong's hand, and said, "Wipe it!"
"Thank you, Uncle Long!"
"Well! Xiaodong, if you can't drink in the future, don't drink so much, you know?" Mr. Long asked.
After hearing this, Liu Dong nodded. At noon, if he hadn't suddenly heard that Uncle Long was going to immigrate abroad, which made him stimulated, I'm afraid Liu Dong would not have lost control and drank so crazy!
"I know, Uncle Long! I will pay attention to it in the future!"
After wiping his face, Liu Dong returned the towel to Mr. Long, then put on his shoes and stood up.
"Let's go, get up and walk around, sober up! You can have dinner at my place before going back!"
After listening to Mr. Li's words, Liu Dong did not object. Following the old man, he walked out of the bedroom, walked through the hall, and came to the small courtyard outside.
At this time, the sun has almost set, and the temperature is not as high as at noon. Cooling in the small yard can be said to be the most luxurious enjoyment of the day. And this is also the favorite thing in summer for the people in the whole north, especially in Shandong.
programme.
"Come, sit down!" After Mr. Long sat down, he pointed to the stool in front of him and said to Liu Dong.
"Uncle Long, where's Brother Mu, why didn't you see him?" After sitting down, Liu Dong looked around and asked.
"Gangzi is closing the shop in front! You don't need to worry about him!" After a pause, Mr. Long continued: "Xiaodong, just take advantage of this moment, I will explain to you what will happen in the future!"
"Uncle Long..."
"Listen to me first!" After signaling Liu Dong to calm down, the old man continued: "Xiaodong, I made the decision to go abroad a few years ago, but I have never found a suitable candidate to take over Taiyi Pavilion.
, I have been putting it off until today. However, it is good now. With your wood carving skills today, it is enough to support the reputation Taiyi Pavilion has accumulated in the Quancheng antique market for decades. Therefore, I can safely put it
Leave it to you, and then go abroad to enjoy my happiness!"
After listening to the old man's words, the expression on Liu Dong's face became silent. He knew that the old man meant what he said. Since he had mentioned this matter twice today, he must have made up his mind and could not look back.
"Xiaodong, actually there is one more thing I want to ask you!" At this time, the old man said with a trace of nostalgia on his face.
"Uncle Long, you said, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse!" Liu Dong said firmly.
After hearing this, the old man couldn't help but show a look of relief on his face, and said with a smile: "Actually, this matter is not too difficult for you!"
After a pause, Mr. Long pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "After I go abroad, I feel relieved to leave the store to you. But this time Dagang may have to ask you to take care of it!"
"Brother Mu?" Liu Dong asked with a slight surprise on his face.
"Yeah!" The old man nodded, "Gangzi is dull by nature. Although he is talented in martial arts, it is difficult for him to achieve success in other areas. Therefore, if he goes abroad, just a language barrier will be enough to make it difficult for him to move.
.In addition, if I die and there is no one around to control him, I am also afraid that he will not know people and be led astray by others. So, after thinking about it, I think it is better to keep him in the country!"
"Uncle Long, you always want to leave Brother Mu to me?" Liu Dong couldn't help but asked in surprise.
"Why, you don't want to?" the old man asked with eyes wide open.
"How is that possible? My relationship with Brother Mu is that of a true brother. It's too late for me to be happy that he can stay. How could I not want to!" Liu Dong said with a sincere smile.
He had known Mu Gang for more than a day or two, so he naturally knew that this man with a dull nature was a true man of true love and nature, bold and generous, informal, and very in tune with Liu Dong's temper. Therefore, he kept coming.
, Liu Dongdu regarded him as his real brother.
"Haha, I knew you would say that!" Having been with Liu Dong for nearly three years, the old man knows his character best. Otherwise, he would not have handed over Taiyi Pavilion, which he has worked hard for many years, to Liu Dong.
in hands.
"By the way, Xiaodong! Originally, I wanted to watch your boy apprentice before leaving! But at the end of August, my eldest grandson is getting engaged, and I have to go there. So, this time, I will finish this for Zhou boy.
After setting up the furniture, I'm leaving!" Mr. Long said with a trace of regret on his face.
"So fast?" Liu Dong couldn't help but said in surprise.
It is already July 28th, and it seems that August will enter August in four days. This means that in more than half a month at most, Uncle Long will leave here and go abroad.
"Haha, we have to leave early or late anyway!" After a pause, he said, "By the way, Xiaodong, after the Stone Gambling Conference, you take the time to come to my place and I'll take the Taiyi Pavilion's
Some accounts and processes have been clearly explained to you. When I leave, you can get started as soon as possible!"
"I understand, Uncle Long!" Liu Dong nodded, but his tone was a little low.
Especially when he thought that this old man who cared for him so much and had spared no effort to help him for more than two years would soon go abroad to settle down, and he didn't know if he would be able to meet again in the future, Liu Dong couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart.
Feeling sad.
Seeing the lonely and sad look on Liu Dong's face, the old man smiled and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "Okay, Xiaodong! Don't be a little girl! I'm going abroad this time.
We'll never see each other again. If you miss Uncle Long in the future, just come and see me! Anyway, it won't take long to fly, and you don't need the money now!"
After listening to the old man's words, Liu Dong's mood improved a little, "Old man, we have agreed that if I go then, you will have to pay for all the food and lodging!"
"Haha, you kid! You are a billionaire now, and you still want to take Uncle Long's attention!" After joking with a smile, "Don't worry, as long as you come then, Uncle Long will definitely not lose anything to you!"
After Liu Dong nodded, he couldn't help but laugh softly when he looked at the old man.
"By the way, I forgot to sue you just now!" At this time, the old man patted his forehead with a look of annoyance on his face, and continued to Liu Dong: "When I came back, Lao Li asked me to sue you.
Tell me, your emeralds and Buddha statues are all at his place, and I want you to go pick them up when you leave!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong nodded, indicating that he understood.
In fact, he didn't worry about leaving these things at Mr. Li's place. It would be the same whenever he went to pick them up.
Of course, what troubled him more than this was the 'Chenxiang Pavilion' antique shop that Mr. Li wanted him to take over.
Seeing the change in the expression on Liu Dong's face, the old man, who was very familiar with him, immediately guessed what he was thinking in his mind at the moment.
