Coming out of the "Stone Carving Zhai", Jin Nan was dressed in moonlight and walked depressedly under the lights.

After listening to the old man's story, her confused mind was clear.

I know what the old man's phrase "that 'manufacturer' is me" means, and I also know why the old man, the "manufacturer", can no longer produce a product.

But it was because she knew and understood that she was depressed.

No, in fact, not only depressed, but also guilty. The latter, on the other hand, is much stronger than the former.

I knew that there was a "Stone Carving Zhai" from Qiao Muyan's mouth, and I knew that there were exquisite and rare chess pieces in the "Stone Carving Zhai", and I also knew it from Qiao Muyan's mouth.

She also knew that in order to make her future husband grow a long face in front of her friends, Qiao Muyan had worked hard and racked her brains.

It's hard to have such an opportunity, but she was ruined by mistake.

She really didn't expect the chess to be so exquisite, and she didn't expect the chess to be so beautiful.

She regretted it, very, very much.

If she had known that it would be like this, if she was killed, she would not have brought Shen Chenzhou here. In her heart, pleasing her future husband is much more important than pleasing the old chairman.

But regret has a hairy use? In this world, there is no regret medicine for sale.

When she saw the chess, she immediately liked it. I also thought that since I came, I would buy it together, so as to save Qiao Muyan a long way to run again.

is so considerate, Qiao Muyan will definitely praise her fiercely.

Now it's okay, praise her, don't scold her, it's weird.

If Qiao Muyan scolds her, it really won't. But Qiao Muyan will definitely have regrets and be uncomfortable.

Qiao Muyan was not happy, and she was naturally not happy. What's more, his unhappiness is still caused by her, do you think she can stand it in her heart?

When she came out of the store, she drooped her head and wandered listlessly along the side of the road.

It must have been about twenty minutes before she suddenly remembered to go home.

She slammed on her feet, raised her head, looked around her eyes, and then was stunned.

Oh my god, where is this?

The place where she is standing now happens to be an intersection, but in addition to knowing that it is a crossroads, you have to ask her to tell her exactly where it is, hehe, she really doesn't have that ability.

She had never been here at all, and she was a road idiot, and her sense of direction was poor. Therefore, when she came to a strange place, she always had a confused face.

Now she can distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, which is really rare. But you have to ask her where the bus stops, how to get to the subway, and heh, she's more dizzy than you.

The reason why I said to Shen Chenzhou just now was that I was confident and sure that it was all for him. If she believes him, she can implement the plan of "going and returning".

The plan succeeded, but the result was extremely disappointing.

There were still a lot of people on the street at this time, and she wanted to ask someone for directions.

But when she thought about it, with her previous experience in asking for directions, if people didn't lead her over in person, she would be able to go around countless circles in this area.

Looking at the time, in order not to waste time, and even more so not to waste the tongue of well-wishers, she decided to take a taxi.

It's almost ten o'clock when I get home, and I go around with Shen Chenzhou, and I tired her to death, and her legs and feet don't look like her own.

After entering the door, she didn't even bend down to take off her shoes, she kicked her shoes directly and went in barefoot.

The bag was thrown on the coffee table, and the man fell the sofa. She lay there like a corpse, and she really didn't want to move a single hair.

Five or six minutes later, right? The phone rang.

You don't have to look at her to know that it must be Qiao Muyan calling.

Qiao Muyan's broken shift is either overtime or a business trip. This business trip can be as little as five or six days, as much as ten days and half a month, and it is also common for one or two months.

In order to understand the pain of lovesickness when he was on a business trip, Jin Nan had already given a death order, and when Qiao Muyan was on a business trip, he had to video for half an hour every day, and the time was nine o'clock in the evening.

At this time, she hasn't slept yet, and Qiao Muyan is basically busy.

However, this time was changed after she became Shen Chenzhou's "Imperial Walk", and it was changed to ten o'clock. Because, after becoming Shen Chenzhou's first-level secretary, although she doesn't travel much, she has to work overtime almost every day. By the time I got home, most of them were in their teens.

Before she heard the phone ringing at this point, she would have answered it in a hurry. But today, she didn't want to take it.

Why?

She got up slowly, slowly took out her phone from her bag, and slowly connected it.

She looked at the man on the screen and shouted, "Qiao Muyan." "The voice is weak, lifeless.

Qiao Muyan on the screen was still busy working with the computer, probably hearing that something was wrong with her, he twisted his head and looked over.

Seeing her nested on the sofa, the whole person was wilting, and smiled: "Working overtime again today?"

Working overtime? Being a military advisor to the boss and helping to buy gifts for the old chairman and his wife is considered overtime?

Well, at least that's what she thinks.

So, she said "um".

"Tired?"

"Hmm. ”

Qiao Muyan glanced at her in a hurry, and said while tapping on the keyboard, "Just came back, right?"

Jin Nan paused for a moment and asked, "Alas, how do you know that I just came back?"

The smile on Qiao Muyan's face became stronger than just now: "I don't know you yet? When did you enter the door one day, the first thing you did was not to change your clothes? At this time, you are still wearing overalls, except for just entering the door, is there any other possibility?"

Qiao Muyan glanced at her again, and his eyes quickly returned to the computer: "The new shoes you wore today?"

"Hey, how did you guess?" Jin Nan felt incredible, could it be that he installed a camera on her?

Qiao Muyan said: "You still need to guess? Every time you put on new shoes, you don't have a sore foot? I rub it for you when I'm at home, and you can only rub it yourself when I'm not at home." ”

Jin Nan lowered his head, looked at his right hand that was still rubbing his feet, and couldn't help but smile.

It's really not a guesswork, but it takes care.

After being with Qiao Muyan, he didn't spend any money on her, let alone give her a big surprise that brought tears to his eyes. Everything is plain, and it is in these plainness that he slowly understands himself better than her.

"Is there any injury on your foot, is there any blood?" Qiao Muyan asked.

Jin Nan shook his head: "There was no injury or bloodshed." ”

"But it must be swollen, isn't it?"

Jin Nan nodded.

Qiao Muyan sighed slightly, and when he looked at her, his eyes were full of pity: "It's better if you don't have injuries or bleed, but you have suffered from the swelling into a big bag." He stopped what he was doing: "The medicine I bought for you to soak your feet last time, and it's in the medicine box in the TV drawer, and you will take it out to bubble later." I'm telling you, you can't be lazy in this matter, you must soak it, otherwise, your feet will not be swollen tomorrow and you won't even be able to wear shoes, do you hear?"

Jin Nan nodded, indicating that he understood.

But Qiao Muyan was very dissatisfied with her performance, his face became a little stern, and he asked, "Did you hear it?"

"I hear you. ”

"Didn't you say that?"

"Didn't I nod?"

"Is it okay to just nod your head? You have to give me an affirmative answer. ”

Jin Nan smiled and deliberately exaggerated: "The little girl heard Lord Qiao's instructions, remembered them, and remembered them in her heart." Master Qiao rest assured, the little girl will definitely follow the instructions of the adults later, soak her feet seriously, and will definitely not disappoint the adult's instructions. After speaking, he said again: "Master Qiao, are you still satisfied with such an answer?"

Her exaggerated and funny appearance amused Qiao Muyan, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face, but she still pretended to be serious: "Well, make do." ”

His "fake seriousness" also made her laugh.

Qiao Muyan said: "Don't give me a hippie smile, I tell you, don't think that you will perfunctory me when I'm not at home." When I get back and find out that if you blindfold me, I'm going to poke my eyes and spank my ass. ”

"Got it! Got it! Master Joe, do you know that you are very verbose?"

"Am I verbose?"

The old man shook his head: "No, that's the last one." "Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked for such a high price.

"Gone?" Jin Nan's voice suddenly increased, his eyes blinked a few times, and he said clearly: "It doesn't matter if you don't have it, you can't just let the manufacturer send it again? Aren't all the things in your store from the manufacturer? You just need to tell me, when the chess will arrive, and I can come back to get it then." ”

The old man shook his head again: "The things I have here are indeed taken from the manufacturer, but the 'manufacturer' is me, but I, the 'manufacturer', can no longer produce a product." So, that chess deck is really the last deck. ”

What is the manufacturer? What is the product that he can't produce anymore?

Jin Nan was really confused by this old man, and asked with a bitter face: "Uncle, why can't I understand?"

The old man sighed, turned back and sat back in his rocking chair, and then slowly told a story, the old man's own story.

The old man's family came into contact with stone carving from his grandfather's generation. It has been passed down to him for four generations.

Stone carvings are okay before they are put aside, and they can also support their families. In the past, whether it was in life, decoration, or other uses, the style was poor, like what kind of stone bowls, stone troughs, stone fish tanks...... People still use it.

But with the development of society, some plastic products, stainless steel products, etc., anyway, are all kinds of materials, and they have replaced stone tools at a rapid speed.

No matter how skilled and exquisite your craft is, no one wants it. After all, things carved out of stone are heavy and laborious to hold.

The old man was not blind, so he naturally saw the decay of the stone carvings.

He abandoned life and other aspects of sculpture and specialized in both decorative and ornamental aspects. Even so, business has not improved.

In order to support his wife and children, he had to leave home and come to Yunhai as a worker. Although he changed careers halfway, he has never abandoned this craft left to him by his ancestors.
