The district where the tortoiseshell is located has a new plan, not to mention the streets, even the corners and corners have to be changed. The dormitories of major factories, old private houses, small shops with dilapidated facades, and the antique market with a shadow wall filling the facade, don't even want to escape.
People have known three or five years ago that the city is developing at a rapid pace. The World Trade Department Store and the International Building will spread according to the center point, and everything will eventually take on a new look. Citizens like to hear it and look forward to it, but you, I, and I in the antique market are not happy, where will you go in the future? According to the policy, this place has been changed to the new compound of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Who would dare to buy and sell in this neighborhood
Sell a fake with the front foot, and get into the game without the back foot.
Ding Hanbai, who was worried and worried before the world, came, and as soon as he walked around the shadow wall, he felt a rare desertedness. Shopping, humming songs selling blue and white porcelain, smoking cigarettes selling Tang Sancai, and comparing who is more depressed.
He stood in front of a booth, and the seller said: "If you want to start early, maybe you won't be able to find it tomorrow."
He asked, "Where are you moving?"
People say: "Cultural Street, Jianjia, originally there is not much stability here, so they just run around."
Ding Hanbai sighed: "What do you think if we all move into the building and rent a shop, without the wind and the sun, and no one grabs the booth?"
The seller was stunned, novel and rare, and not a white-collar worker or a salesperson, can he still do business in the building? He had never heard of this statement, and had never seen the building that accommodated him, so he couldn't answer this question.
Ding Hanbai smiled and continued to shop, but nothing was collected. I went to the Cultural Relics Bureau at noon and made an appointment with Zhang Yin for dinner. Face to face, he poured tea and vegetables, but he was not flattering, he treated each other as a friend.
Zhang Yin heard Zhang Sinian say that this fellow is going to do a big job, and he can help. "You're quite able to bend and stretch, weren't you crazy like that back then?"
Ding Hanbai said, "I never thought of looking for you. Even if I need help from someone in the bureau, wouldn't it be faster for me to find the director?" The director has an old friend with Ding Yanshou, and admires him very much. He is also a regular customer of Yupinji. "But the master begged you for me, not to mention being able to bend or stretch, even if I raise my face and let you beat me, I can't live up to his old man." He said, "And, the old man is not only for me, but also for you."
Zhang Yin suddenly raised his eyes, looking forward to an explanation in his heart, and showed disbelief on his face.
"You like antiques, don't you? You like it, but you don't have enough eyesight, right?" Ding Hanbai returned to his old ways and became sharp, "The agency is slow and cumbersome, I just want to speed up, not to do something illegal. What. There is no loss for you to help. In the future, whoever I know in this circle will still deceive you? What do you fancy, I will help you check it at any time. "
Hit the weak point, Zhang Yin is tempted. Ding Hanbai said again: "Do you know why the old man didn't help you? He helped you for a while, but when he is gone, what should you do if you fall over? He is asking you to ask me to help each other out and make a good future. ."
With a well-documented family card, Ding Hanbai knew that Zhang Yin would not be able to stand it. This guy is small-minded and vain, but his essence is not bad. He was really hurt when he stumbled down the alley that night. Only with a heart can you be sad. The father and son surnamed Zhang have never reached the point where they are irrelevant to each other.
After lobbying, it's done.
Ding Hanbai continued to wander, to see the building that was about to be finished.
The old will go away, the new will come, and it is easiest to make a good man when it changes.
In addition to the good guys, of course there are also villains. The representatives of the three Jade Sales Kee gathered in the second store, waiting for Ding Erhe to distribute the materials worth hundreds of thousands. Ji Shenyu didn't show his face, and stayed in a store to work. When the guy came back from carrying the box, he glanced at the list lightly.
The buddy grumbled: "It's worth a point for that."
Ji Shen said with joy: "Anything is better than nothing, it's all good material." He knew what to do, and kept busy after recording the file in person, without expressing any dissatisfaction with this assignment.
After eating around the table in the evening, Jiang Tingen couldn't bear it any longer. He patted the list assigned by the third store on the table and wanted to complain to Ding Yanshou. Ding Erhe explained without hesitation, with a smile, that relatively few materials were used to make jewelry, not to mention that those materials were not finished at one time.
Ding Yanshou asked, "Shen Yu, is one store enough?"
Ji Shenyu replied: "There is never too much material, nothing is not enough, I obey the second brother's assignment." This answer is ambiguous, but it is enough to calm people down. After dinner, he hooked up the lines in the study, and Ding Yanshou stayed by the side to supervise the big things. Bit by bit, all contradictions seemed to be temporarily put aside, he was still the obedient apprentice, and Ding Yanshou was still the master who paid equal attention to both kindness and prestige.
The tall Guanyin statue, Qingtian stone, Ji Shenyu's hands are steady and focused, and the lines drawn are extremely smooth. When he painted the lotus circle pattern on the clothes, his ears, nose, mouth and heart were connected, and he actually murmured "Namo Amitabha Buddha".
Ding Yanshou was stunned for a moment, full of pride, the highest state of work is to immerse himself in it, and even the muttered words are related to the objects at hand. But at that moment, he lost to the extreme, such a good apprentice, such a good son, why did he have such unbearable problems
With a long sigh, he turned and paced to the window. Ji Shenyu asked, "Master, am I not good at drawing?"
Ding Yanshou said, "The painting is very good." He couldn't see the moon in the horizon, or the stars in the night, and his heart was clouded with blackness. After a long while, the head of the family said almost begging: "Shen Yu, let's fix that problem, okay?"
The tip of the pen trembled, and Ji Shen's nose was sour: "Master, I have nothing wrong." He was wronged, and he was wronged for Ding Hanbai, "I thought this was not correct at first, but I just like Brother Shi... I am willing to be right for the rest of my life. He is good, be the person who helps him the most, we didn't commit rape, we didn't break the law... We just like each other."
As soon as he said more, he choked and apologized: "Master, I'm sorry."
Ding Yanshou didn't speak for a long time, and then asked, "He's flipping antiques?"
Ji Shenyu replied, "I don't know."
Ding Yanshou turned his face and glared at him: "You're the one who helped him the most, don't you know?" That bastard has loved to dig into the antique market since he was a child, and he also plucks things at home all day long. Thinking of doing this again.
If it is true or false, it is inevitable that there will be misunderstandings. He is not afraid of losing money. It is true that the son's heart is higher than the sky, and he is afraid that the other party will not be able to withstand the blow. Besides, what about Yupinji? That's right, they are all out of the father-son relationship, so what about Yupinji.
This irreconcilable contradiction is like a ball of thread, chaotic and entangled, and I can't wait to set it on fire.
At this time, Ji Shenyu asked, "Master, is your hair so fine?"
Ding Yanshou went over to take a look: "No problem, the eyebrows are half thinner."
Ask and answer, forget about troubles for a while, just focus on the present.
Ji Shenyu finished the line and left, and Jiang Shuliu next door listened to the movement. Twenty-four hours a day, she can tangle twenty-three, how is Ding Hanbai lately, do you want to understand after being separated for a while? She gave birth to some gray hair and became the most slender lesbian in the unit.
Women are delicate, and mothers are even more so. Jiang Shuliu vaguely understood that it was not a way to shove one out and keep the other. Ding Hanbai would not be soft when he came out of his mother's womb. Ji Shenyu was gentle but stubborn and tenacious.
She also remembered that when Ding Hanbai was beaten, Ji Shenyu spent a lot of time cooking fish soup. She was surprised at the time, but now she can understand everything when she thinks about it. It turned out that the boy used affection and was so considerate.
Ji Shenyu didn't know anything else, so he went back to the small courtyard and put on dirty clothes, and went to bed early.
As Ding Hanbai said, Ding Er and Ding Keyu were more relaxed and let Ji Shenyu go. Ding Ke was more than happy. First, it was hard to monitor, and second, after getting along, he felt that Ji Shenyu was not bad.
At noon the next day, a van was parked at the entrance of No. 6 Middle School. Ji Shenyu got in after school, chewed jelly beans and sang songs all the way, and went straight to Tong Village. The porcelain kiln has changed a lot, batches of goods are packed tightly, and the fire chamber does not stop all the time.
It was still that small office, where four people had a meeting while eating. Fang Huaiqing asked, "Boss Ding has set up his own business. When will you come out and pay them back?"
Ji Shenyu didn't know, so he couldn't answer. Ding Hanbai continued: "It's almost time." He looked at the fresh delivery order, the numbers were dense, the number of models, specifications, and finally the total price. Those who were not good at math could vomit.
When he looked up, he found Ji Shenyu looking at him and asked, "Is it really fast?"
He said again: "Really soon."
Just because of this sentence, Ji Shenyu was happy and appetizing, grinning when he was eating buns, and was scolded by Fang Huaiqing for being unpromising. After a short lunch break, he and Ding Hanbai nested in this small room, with Ding Hanbai's notebook in front of him. The writing was flying, and he struggled to recognize it, realizing the big project he was facing.
The building that you are optimistic about does not have to wait for the end to be completed, and you need to apply immediately. When the Antique City opens up, you need to do a lot of documents, and you need to clear the relationship in all aspects. Then, you need to publicize it, so that people in the circle can recognize the new place.
The first thing you need is a lot of money.
Too many people with ideas and ambitions have given up on it.
Ding Hanbai's money mainly comes from porcelain kilns and antiques. The former needs time, the latter needs an opportunity, and now time is very tight. Ji Shenyu has two tasks today, one is to repair a batch of scraps, and the other is to burn a batch of top quality products.
At the beginning, Liang Hecheng said that the original apprentice only learned less than seven points, and after finishing the study, he only wanted to make money but not diligently, so Fang Huaiqing could only stand aside. The formula for the glaze water was written long ago, and Ding Hanbai also copied the various patterns. After enough rest, Ji Shenyu stayed in the kiln instructing the technicians and guys, and when it was finished, he was already disheartened.
He took off his mask, met Ding Hanbai, who was also dirty, got close to smell it, and choked his nose. Ding Hanbai was tired and lost several pounds, grabbed his hand and rubbed the pulp of his fingers, took out a clean handkerchief and wiped it for him.
Ji Shenyu asked, "How far is it?"
Ding Hanbai replied, "The eight repaired pieces are all sold off at the ideal price."
It's as difficult to get out of the business as it is to pick up a leak, not to mention at an ideal price. "It's been open for three years, give me a baby that can last for three years." Ding Hanbai's tone was exaggerated, as if he was singing, "The cultural relics bureau has been established, and the relevant departments will run one by one, I am afraid that the software is already in place. , the hardware has not kept up.”
A penny beats a hero, and now there are so many overseas Chinese returning to China to invest, what would it be a pity if they were seized of the opportunity. Ji Shenyu was only seventeen. He studied sculpture and forgery abroad, and Chinese and mathematics at school. He couldn't think of any good ideas. You can only get close, and help Ding Hanbai wipe his hands and face, and use these cares to comfort him.
Ding Hanbai grabbed his hand, clenched his palm, and said, "I'm sorry."
With a blank expression on his face, Ding Hanbai added, "Following me at such a young age is laborious and troublesome, making you work hard."
Ji Shenyu was stunned for a moment, this was the first time this person spoke in such a low voice, with a deep apology, and a hidden self-esteem that had experienced hardships and injuries. Instead, he held Ding Hanbai's hand and touched the thick callus.
At this moment, he desperately wanted Ding Hanbai to go home.
In the living room in the front yard, in the small yard on that side, Ding Hanbai, a tired eagle, should return to its nest to warm up for a while. He wanted to make a cup of green tea and put it on the stone table, and when it was late at night, he would give Ding Hanbai a moon.
"Brother, don't be like this." Ji Shenyu said, "I'll go home after dinner with you at night, okay?" , When he was overwhelmed, he would do everything together to overcome difficulties.
Until the evening, before leaving, they handed in a batch of new porcelain.
When they returned to the old Chongshui district, the dilapidated hutongs were the busiest at the moment, with the smell of food coming out of every household, children playing football and skipping ropes blocking the road, and those who got off work could make a symphony from the bells of their cars. As soon as they entered the alley, they both saw a person standing in front of the house.
It was dim and couldn't see clearly, so when I got closer, I heard a hurried "big brother". Jiang Tingen was so heartbroken that he rushed to Ding Hanbai and said anxiously, "Why did you guys come back?! I thought you guys ran away!"
Ding Hanbai said, "If you speak louder, you're afraid the neighbors won't know about it, right?"
Jiang Tingen grabbed Ji Shenyu and was used to doing dog legs, but at this time he was a bit resolute. "Today, the second child came to the third store, read the account book, moved the funds, and used the third store to make up for the deficit of the second store." It was dark, but his angry face was particularly obvious, "I went home to find my uncle, who is sick and coughs. The voice is louder than my voice, and the second child also said that I am not surnamed Ding, so I am not qualified!"
Ji Shenyu was very calm: "My surname is not Ding either."
"..." Jiang Tingen was in a hurry to get angry, wishing he could fall to the ground and sleep forever. It is true that his surname is not Ding, but Yupinji is the hard work of his uncle and master. It has been maintained in an orderly manner for so many years, how can people take advantage of it
He dared to grab Ding Hanbai's sleeve: "Big brother! What's your surname?!"
Ding Hanbai made this loyal and bloody fool amused, broke away, grabbed Ji Shenyu and entered the door, deliberately shouting loudly: "—Master, what's the good food for tonight?"
Jiang Tingen, a big man like Bai Chang, would cry if he couldn't get a rescuer. He turned around and ran away, reluctantly, and took a taxi home to find his father. Jiang Xunzhu was extremely embarrassed, how could a brother-in-law take care of his brother-in-law's housework for no reason? Before he finished speaking, Jiang Tingen ran away again, with a posture of taking the lead.
The Ding family courtyard is brightly lit, and the copper hot pot is simmering mutton.
White air curled up, Ding Yanshou held a bowl of bone soup, and had no appetite. Ding Erhe still looked gentle, courteous and frugal, peeling sugar and garlic for everyone. He asked, "Fourth, where did you go?"
Jiang Tingen said, "I'm going to find the big brother and Ji Zhenzhu!" He just wanted to use Ding Hanbai to demonstrate, and sold the pair of bitter mandarin ducks as soon as he opened his mouth.
Ding Keyu was startled: "Have they met secretly?" He glanced at Ding Yanshou with a guilty conscience. He didn't take people seriously, for fear of being scolded. Jiang Tingen said: "Second brother, you first moved the materials from Nanwu, and today you come to move the account of the third store. Your second store is not making money, so why should we make up for the bleeding of our third store?"
Ding Erhe explained: "No matter which store has a sign of Yupinji, it's all Ding's store, and it's a money transfer. It is also a momentary relief for my own store.”
Jiang Tingen said: "It's true that they are all brands of Yupinji, but these years the second store is under your control, and you can clearly distinguish them."
As if in the middle of his arms, Ding Er and Zheng Zheng sat in danger: "Listen to what you mean, do you want to split up the family?"
In a word, the whole table is silent, living in three-span courtyards, eating at the same table every day, no one has mentioned separation in ten or eight years. Ding Houkang's face was calm, and Ding Keyu looked at his brother in surprise.
With a "bang", Ding Yanshou put down the soup bowl with trembling hands.
Immediately afterwards, there was another "bang", and the door of the living room burst open. Ji Shenyu came in with his back straight, walked slowly to his seat, took his seat, and directly looked up at the second child on the opposite side.
He didn't wait for anyone to ask, and said, "Why is the mutton so far away, and the radish thought that the mutton was not there, so he was in a hurry to start a pot."
It's another set of referring to Sang and scolding Huai, Ding Er and pushing glasses, both gentle and awkward. "Fifth Junior Brother, where have you been all day?" He asked the question like an arrow, "Going to find Han Bai? No matter how uncle stops him, even if he drives Han Bai out of the house, won't you two be separated?"
Ji Shenyu understood this method, and first reminded Ding Yanshou of his relationship with Ding Hanbai, so that Ding Hanbai had no chance of being forgiven at Ding Yanshou's place. Then let's talk about the separation, no matter how the division is, the other party will benefit.
He remained silent so as not to add fuel to the fire.
Ding Erhe said, "Uncle, you and my father are both old. You have been sick again recently. You are working hard to manage the three stores. It's better to split up."
Ji Shenyu asked, "Second brother, how do you want to divide it?"
Ding Erhe replied: "First of all, you are not named Ding, you are an outsider, and promised to never eat stocks, so I will remove you first." After a meal, with a little regret, "Uncle, grandpa said at the beginning that the master of the family is determined by craftsmanship. We think that we are inferior to Han Bai, who is in charge, but when Han Bai is gone, we can only take second place."
Ji Shenyu said, "Who doesn't get sick all year round? Master splits the family when he is sick, is he waiting for him to be healed? And to hear what you mean, when my brother leaves, sooner or later, I will give you the shop. Seeing the big from the small, through this disease you can see a hundred years later, who are you cursing?"
They quarreled, Ding Yanshou covered his chest with his big hands, trying to suppress the violent ups and downs there.
Ding Erhe was polite, but held a gentle knife: "I didn't think that far. Since you mentioned a hundred years later, let's talk about it. The uncle has no son. Who will Yupin be given after a hundred years? Not for our family. Give it early and you can relax earlier."
Ding Yanshou choked: "Erhe, are you in a hurry?"
Ji Shenyu looked at Ding Erhe, of course impatient, because Ding Erhe was not sure whether Ding Hanbai would come back, so he had to hurry. He looked at the thing that was sweeping the floor, and silently glanced at the clock.
"Uncle, you have been in charge for many years. You have enough money. You can take care of your own business and enjoy the good fortune in the future." Ding Erhe said, "Hanbai makes a lot of money from antiques, and you can go so neatly. It is estimated that he can't look down on the family's three-thirds of the acre."
At this time, a word came from the door - who said I couldn't see it
The whole audience was truly shocked. Everyone turned their heads in unison, only to see the tall figure flashing, and the face gradually revealed. Ding Hanbai strode in, and Jiang Tingen gave up his seat immediately, glaring at Ding Erhe with a pretentious look, and was about to hold a banner for this "big brother and sister-in-law".
Ding Hanbai sat down directly, holding the righteousness brought out by beating a mother's womb. He turned his face to look at Ding Yanshou, then at Jiang Shuliu, and looked at the table full of people one by one.
"Dad, you told me not to step into the house for the rest of my life, but I'm here today with the cheeks." He said, staring at Ding Houkang, "I'm here to take a look at this Tang who is usually mute and biting at this time. Brother, what kind of prestige are you doing?"
Ding Houkang was embarrassed, and Ding Erhe said, "Han Bai, you are going to shoot at me, don't stare at my dad."
Ding Hanbai suddenly said loudly, "You just forced my dad to split up with a shy face, and I fucking yelled at your dad!"
Ding Er and loose collar: "Uncle, did you allow Han Bai to come back? Since he doesn't recognize this son, he has no right to interfere with any decision in the family."
Ding Hanbai was extremely arrogant: "He doesn't recognize my son, and I never said that I don't recognize him as a father!" He's resounding voice was not only called to those who are wolf-hearted, but also to Ding Yanshou. No matter what situation he was in, Ding Hanbai would never be so ignorant that he didn't recognize his father.
Ji Shenyu, who was quiet for a moment, said: "Second brother, aren't you just afraid that my brother will come back one day? That's why you can't wait to split up the family. According to the family's technical heroes, the second uncle is not as good as the master, and you are not as good as you. Brother Shi, this time their father and son have a falling out, are you happy?"
Ding Erhe clenched his fist under the table and looked at Ding Yanshou through the lens. He knew that Ding Yanshou had clear principles and would never regret what he said. "Uncle, do you allow Han Bai to come back? Allow him to decide for you?" He was betting that Ding Yanshou would not regret it, "If you overturn the previous decision, I will withdraw any opinions immediately."
Ding Yanshou's big handprint is like a big handprint on his chest, and his forehead is stretched with blue veins. What did he overthrow? Isn't overthrowing the same as accepting Ding Hanbai and Ji Shenyu? All exits were blocked, and he coughed violently, coughing up bloody saliva.
Ji Shenyu hurriedly poured tea and served it, poured it carefully, and forcibly broke off Ding Yanshou's big hand pressing his heart. He felt good for the other party, and as soon as his breathing calmed down, he ran out of the living room to the small courtyard.
Ding Hanbai said, "You don't need to do this. You want to wait for my dad to deny it and then drive me away, right? I told you, I didn't plan to come back at all. I'm here today to clean up you." He suddenly stood up. He got up, leaned against the table, and looked at Ding Erhe through the increasingly ethereal white air, "Didn't you say that my dad has been in charge for many years? Didn't you say it's enough? Since you don't want to listen to him, what the hell are you asking? ?"
One by one, one by one, Ding Hanbai was very sleepy after a long day. If he hadn't been chasing after something that couldn't support the wall, he wouldn't have time to come to this Hongmen banquet. "Don't talk, don't talk, jealousy is really strong." He turned to the old story, "Yu Xun Furnace, did you fall? You also pushed it on your own younger brother."
Ding Keyu was stunned for a moment, and when he understood it, he was extremely shocked, and the taste was mixed.
Ding Hanbai added: "Your second shop more than once asked my dad to help me with work, but I didn't work, but I caught it once, and you didn't dare to let one go. ?"
"I left home on the front foot, and you asked me what I was doing on the back foot. You were down and out. You can finally raise your eyebrows. It's a pity that I have a lot of antiques to build a porcelain kiln, and the amount of jade sold every day is half a month. Dad, don't you regret that you didn't get mad at him directly?"
"If a person is shameless, his face will not be polished by a grinder. First, move my materials and share a share like a show. You are not afraid of dying if you swallow hundreds of thousands of private materials. If the materials are not enough, I will move the account of the third store. , Has the jewelry store been jealous for a long time? You two are not afraid of making jokes by the guys?"
Ding Hanbai seemed to be peeling off the skin of each piece of clothing that was plucked from Ding Erhe. He returned to the main topic tonight: "split, the first store will give you, the second store will give you, and the third store will also give you? After taking his right to Ding Yanshou, do you still want him to work for you? Is it too good for you? , I don't know how many bowls of dry rice I have to eat, and you take pictures by the pool, what are you?!"
Ding Erhe's face turned pale, Ding Houkang wiped his sweat, and finally remembered to smooth things out. What cousins, what grew up together, confused, confused, beat him up to reveal this, all the excuses are left and right.
Ding Hanbai suddenly smiled: "Second Uncle, when they played tricks on Shenyu before, I moved my hand, you were distressed at that time, so I didn't plan to do it this time." The sound of footsteps came, and Ji Shenyu came back with a stack of paper. He took it and said, "My house full of materials has a list and receipts. Dingle and I have invaded my private property without my consent. I won't hit you. I'll let the police handle it."
This is much more powerful than closing the door and killing oneself. When the "family ugly" goes out, Dinglehe stinks in the line.
No one expected that there would be such a big commotion, dissuading people, begging for mercy, and several voices were heard in their ears. Ding Hanbai ignored him, pulled away his chair, walked to Ding Yanshou's side, squatted down, picked up his back, and went back to the bedroom smoothly.
He knelt down beside the bed, plucking up the courage to grab Ding Yanshou's big hand.
He choked up a thousand words and called out "Dad" in a low voice.
Ding Yanshou asked, "What do you want to do?"
Ding Hanbai said, "I want you to have a good rest, you are sick, how can you take care of me?" He slowly got up, hugged Jiang Shuliu, raised his hand and touched Jiang Shuliu's white hair.
After leaving the bedroom, Ding Hanbai closed the door with his backhand, the hot pot in the living room was already cold, and Ji Shenyu just put down the call to the police. Ding Hanbai grabbed Dingle and dragged him outward, like a puddle of hopeless mud, and like a dog who admits his fault.
The nights in early summer are the most lively. Every family goes out for a walk after eating. At the gate of the most stylish Ding family, a group of brothers gathered, waiting for the police car that came to pick up people.
This movement, this battle, for fear that others will not know.
Ding Hanbai threw Ding Erhe down the steps, and in front of the onlookers, completely broke this brotherhood. He had said earlier that if he really made a mistake, there would be no end to it.
A neighbor couldn't help shouting: "Boss Ding! What's the situation?"
Ding Hanbai's words are like nails - clear the door!
