Chapter 128: Five Blessings
In fact, Ning Weimin originally wanted to transfer the fur hat that Zhang Shihui gave him to Kang Shude.
That thing is warm to wear, and it really doesn't freeze your ears.
Although Zhang Shihui and the salesman who sold the goods didn't know what kind of leather it was, the old man could tell at a glance that it was Qinggen Mink.
But then again.
Precisely because the thing is so good, this hat is too conspicuous on the head.
The old man couldn't accept it, so he could only thank him.
Why do you need to say it?
Just because Kangshude is now showing the door to the jade factory.
He wants to take this to work in the unit all day long, can he not cause gossip?
Isn't that sincere to make others uncomfortable to look at?
Regular workers also wear a cotton hat with a mouth, and your temporary worker wears a better hat than the factory manager, which is not like a word.
So Ning Weimin could only put on the hat himself.
Later, I prepared these two more affordable and low-key things for Master.
"Old man, don't say anything on the side, Chinese New Year's Eve, this is a little of my heart, it should be a thank you." Your old cold legs, it's much better to have this warm water bag to cover the bed. When you go to work with this copper hand stove, your hands will be warm. You won't be disgusted anymore, will you?"
Don't look at Ning Weimin's words lightly, but you can see from the two things that he cares.
Naturally, Kanshude couldn't help but be moved.
So he smiled, and then took out a string of copper coins from his arms and handed them to Ning Weimin.
"Boy, this is for you, even if it's money. ”
Ning Weimin bowed down and took a look, a little surprised.
Because it's just a bunch of money.
It is nothing more than Qin half tael, Han five baht, Kaiyuan Tongbao, Kangxi Tongbao, Qianlong Tongbao these prosperous copper coins.
These things are not young and old, just begging for auspiciousness, but they are not worth anything.
But what stood out was the jade with five bats carved on the money string the size of an egg.
It's really highly skilled and lifelike.
And at first glance, the jade quality is good, and the mutton fat is the same.
Ning Weimin was surprised, "Old man, is this new?"
Kangshude nodded and smiled, quite approvingly.
"Well, the look is not bad. This is what I asked a master of the jade factory to do, and he is the apprentice of Liu Deying, one of the 'Four Masters of Northern Jade'. The craftsmanship is now at the forefront of the whole factory, and it is your creation to be able to sell me face to do this for you. ”
As soon as the conversation changed, he was tested.
"As for why you do this style, it's a matter of detail. Yan Mo Hu'er's scientific name is bat, which represents blessing, which you should know. But why five, you know?"
Ning Weimin thought about it and shook his head.
The old man then said, "Remember, the five blessings are longevity, wealth, well-being, good virtue, and the test is life-long." ”
Ning Weimin still didn't understand, and asked what the latter two blessings meant.
The old man said solemnly, "It means to have good virtue and be able to die well." These five things add up, that is, all the thoughts of our people in their lives. ”
"Nothing else, give you this, I hope you can live a good life, and you can get these five blessings in this life. It's more useful than how much money you make. ”
So Ning Weimin was also moved.
Having been alone in society for a long time, he certainly understood the deep meaning of Master's words.
As soon as his heart was hot, it was like soaking in hot water, and he immediately knelt on the ground with this string of copper coins.
took the initiative to hold the gift of a disciple and respectfully kowtowed to Kang Shude.
Outside the window, I don't know who put a tube of night pearls outside the alley.
The red, green, pink, bright, and bright fireworks flew high in the courtyard one after another, dyeing the house brilliantly.
And that gorgeous color seems to be a portrayal of the emotions surging together in the chests of the master and apprentice......
Chinese New Year's Eve is not only Kang Shude and Ning Weimin's Chinese New Year's Eve.
It is also the people of the whole country and the people of the entire capital.
Almost as soon as the master and apprentice began to use chopsticks and taste their reunion dinner.
The sound of firecrackers outside has become more and more dense from the initial sparse at first.
Soon, even if you don't leave the house, you can see the fire shining in the sky.
Suffice it to say that on such a night, at such a time.
There are countless families, countless people who are like them.
My heart is full of the happiness of family reunion and the hope that life will be better next year.
Don't talk about it elsewhere, let's talk about the Mi family next door, at this time, they are also enjoying the warmest meal of the year, and it is also the most sumptuous meal.
Aunt Mi was smiling and serving the dishes to the table, while still nagging her daughter.
"You two kids, you're really good enough to save trouble. In the afternoon, I'll let you help wash the plastic flowers at home, good guys, you will leave the task to the washing machine. ”
Mi Xiaoran is already a big girl, and she is calm.
He only lowered his head to help divide the dishes and chopsticks, and did not speak.
But Mi Xiaohui, who was still young, immediately called Qu.
The two little lamb's horns flicked and almost jumped up from the stool.
"Mom, look at you, there are still a few people who are older than the New Year. Isn't it all over after washing?"
"Clean? Yes clean. But it costs water, electricity, and machines, and we have more than 200 washing machines, so let you do this?"
It's okay not to say this, but even Master Mi can't look at it.
"I said you've changed too much. When I first got this thing back, you were reluctant and always wanted to retreat, and there were not a few of our daughters who said that they had spent money in vain. What's the matter? Now that it's so good, you can't even touch it? Don't forget, this money has to be paid back by our eldest daughter. Xiaoran is not wronged, this is a two-headed fall, isn't it......"
"Hey, I'm not afraid of breaking the drums. ”
Master Mi's fair and outspoken words made Aunt Mi a little embarrassed, so she hurriedly made up a few words.
"Don't say it, Xiao Ran is really bold in doing this, originally, I was scared this winter. Xiaoran, good girl, Mom really doesn't hurt you in vain. Or the money of the washing machine is out. You save your salary......"
It's really rare for her mother to be generous with money, and Mi Xiaoran couldn't help but be amused.
"Mom, no need, I'm working, it's time to contribute to the family. Your money,It's better to save it first.,When you've saved enough, buy a color TV.。 Don't be in a hurry to buy black and white, that's what a waste of money......"
As soon as he said this, Master Mi couldn't help but participate in it again and objected again.
"I don't agree to buy a color TV? What is there to watch on TV? It's small and unclear, where is the movie? Especially the TV series, episode after episode, is not finished in one go, like a sheep. ”
But this time, his words didn't work, and the women in the family all ignored him, but pouted.
"It's none of your business, drink your bar. ”
Aunt Mi even handed him the wine bottle, and then turned her head to sum it up with Mi Xiaoran.
"Hey, girl, I've heard that color TVs are not easy to buy, and the expensive old nose has gone. It's more than 2,000, and the price can top four black and white. Besides, we only earn a few of them, and it will take the monkey years to save enough to tighten our belts?"
Before Mi Xiaoran could speak, Mi Xiaohui interjected again.
"But you really have no ambition, if you want me to say, we'd rather eat a bite of fairy peaches than a basket of rotten apricots. Brother Wei Min also said that science and technology are moving forward, and the new must eliminate the old. You're going to be really picky, and you're going to be cheap. If you buy back Taiwan's black and white, it won't take more than two years, and it may be in tatters. When the time comes, others will look at the colored, you are embarrassed to look at black and white, the turtle is not the turtle......"
Aunt Mi can still be happy?
"Hey, you little white-eyed wolf, this means your mother! This hasn't fed you yet, you're rebelling! Kick your nose in the face again, I'll let you not even eat rotten apricots!"
Mi Xiaoran was afraid that her mother would be really angry, so she hurriedly persuaded her.
"Oh, Mom, why do you have to be like her for the New Year. She's a little girl, but she's just talking faster, it's purely unintentional. ”
And her words are not entirely unreasonable. If you don't believe it, just look at that chatterbox, what was it like in the past? Big and stupid, now it's only been a few years, and it's all become a small semiconductor. ”
"There is also the tape recorder that played the tape, when the 'bricks' came out the year before last, I heard that people from the Wangfujing Department Store came to buy it. No one wants it now, does it? They all pay attention to four-speaker tape recorders, and they have to be from Japan's Sanyo, so where is the difference?"
When Aunt Mi heard this, she gasped as if she had been empowered.
"yes, it's getting too fast. That...... Then according to you, we have to buy it...... Do you have to buy colored ones?"
"Well, and you'll have to buy an eighteen-inch one. ”
Mi Xiaoran nodded firmly, and then smiled again.
"But you're not too worried about money. Because Weimin has a way to buy cheap color TVs. The original import is hundreds cheaper than the store, let's just look for him......"
"Yo, he still has the ability to do this, can it be hundreds cheap......er?
Aunt Mi showed a look of surprise when she landed.
But after a second, I couldn't help but become suspicious.
"No, Xiaoran, what the hell is going on between you and Wei Min? You know his affairs so well? Tell you the truth to your mother, you really ......"
At this moment, Mi Xiaoran's face turned red, and he immediately said angrily.
"Oh, why are you here again? How many times have you asked? Is it over? No, no, we don't have anything. Isn't it just neighbors and colleagues, and normal contact is not enough?"
Aunt Mi was gagged, but she was good-natured to the eldest girl who was already able to stand up for the door.
Not only was he not angry, but it didn't take long for him to carefully inquire about Mi Xiaoran by adding vegetables.
"Why don't you go and Xiaohui to deliver some rice cakes to the next door after dinner?" You might as well help your mother ask for more details, and see how much cheaper Wei Min can buy a color TV than the store? I also have a ...... in my heart."
At the same time, Ning Weimin and the neighbor's family on the other side of Kangshude's hut were also holding a feast.
