Chapter 5: Dream Combination

Seeing that Zhang He looked out the window thoughtfully and didn't speak, the old man couldn't help but laugh and said, "I don't know! Hehe, go to school well in the future and study more." You know who these people Grandpa is talking about. ”

"Grandpa Tian, you haven't told me about my aunt, why do they say you're bad people, won't it be just because of your background?"

"Hey, why are you so willing to get to the bottom of it?" Grandpa Tian said with a pretended face that didn't smile.

"Well, I want to know! Just tell me, I promise I won't go home and ask questions. Zhang He stared at the eyes of the second elder and said sincerely.

"Yes, it doesn't matter if you understand it or not, since you want to know, grandpa will tell you that your mother and your aunt were..."

Grandpa Tian was just about to start, but was suddenly stopped by Grandma Tian on the side who stretched out her hand to stop him. I saw that Grandma Tian looked at Grandpa Tian's eyes meaningfully and didn't speak, as if she didn't agree with Grandpa Tian to continue. However, Grandpa Tian pressed Grandma Tian's hand disapprovingly, and then said to Zhang He:

"Your mother and your aunt used to be my students, but your aunt, how can you say it? Her studies are far worse than your mother's, but she loves face, can incite people, and is also a top-notch child. So during the period when the trouble was the most fierce, she seemed to have gained momentum, and took the lead in fighting me and asked me to explain the problem. But then I don't know how your grandfather knew about it, and he, the father who had never slapped the child, grabbed your aunt's neck and forced her to come to me to apologize and admit her mistake. So since Neitian, your aunt has never spoken to us again, and naturally your three aunts and your children are not allowed to be close to us. As for whether or not our "union of the landlord class and the capitalists" is a good person? ”

"Damn, it's a big secret! It turns out that the aunts died in vain, and they didn't even let me pay attention to Grandpa Tian and them because there was such a thing. Finally found the roots. It seems that only my grandfather can suppress my aunt and them, unlike my grandmother, who is used as a gun by them every time. I really want to see this "grand occasion", I really haven't seen my grandfather blushing with anyone?" Zhang He couldn't help but sigh in a low voice while making up the wonderful picture of his grandfather pinching his aunt's neck. ”

"No!" the old man was reminded again, so he said, "Your grandfather is a good man. Don't look at him who is usually silent, but in his heart, he is very right! A teacher for one day, a father for life, so many students and parents! Your grandfather did this alone. At that time, no one cared about our parents and grandma, so your grandfather respected us as gentlemen. Didn't your grandfather tell you? He used to be the shopkeeper of the timber shop before the liberation, and he only entered the housing management office after the liberation. During that time, he was asked to expose his former master and brothers. He stiffened his neck, and would rather be beaten and criticized than say a word, just because of this, your grandfather was imprisoned for several months, and his waist was also the problem of being beaten at that time. Moreover, your grandfather is still in me and your grandmother Tian..."

"Okay, don't mention these old sesame seeds and rotten millet to the child, you can also drink saliva!" Grandma Tian gave Grandpa Tian a teacup and suddenly interrupted Grandpa Tian's words.

But Zhang He still couldn't get enough of asking: "I heard my grandfather talk about his back injury." But I really don't know about being a shopkeeper. You just said that my grandfather is the shopkeeper of the wood shop, so does my grandfather know wood?"

"Of course, it doesn't matter what kind of wood you have, just give your grandfather a glance and he will know what's going on. Grandpa Tian affirmed.

"Oh! Grandpa understands wood, which means that grandpa can distinguish the material of solid wood furniture. And I have been a tour guide for so many years, read so many books, visited so many museums, and can basically distinguish the dynasty and style of some things. plus Grandpa Tian who knows calligraphy and painting and Grandma Tian who understands porcelain. Oh my God, isn't this the Collector's Dream Team?"

Zhang He was suddenly excited, he suddenly felt a kind of excitement and ecstasy rising from the bottom of his heart, and he thought that he had discovered a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity. So he calmed himself down before he spoke again: "Grandpa Tian and Grandma Tian, you two and my grandfather are so knowledgeable, why don't you pick up the stubble and collect it together!"

"Collecting? Hehe, I can't do it, I'm sad! Once splendid, once servant, there was no prosperity in ancient times. Grandpa Tian glanced at his wife and said with a wry smile.

"This is the right time!" Zhang He completely forgot his current identity, and before he could think of it, such a sentence came out of his mouth.

But Zhang He is right, the 80s at this time is indeed the right time. Because of the cultural discontinuity and the reshaping of values, few people in China in this era pay attention to antiques, and few people can really understand the value of antiques. Do you believe that you can buy official kiln porcelain for three yuan, and you can find red sandalwood furniture for five yuan, and you can meet peerless and genuine products for five yuan? Incredible, right? But in this era. To borrow the words of one of today's collectors, the 80s were the cheapest period of antiques in the history of Chinese civilization, and it was the only one.

But how could the second elder, who had already experienced the vicissitudes of the world, pay attention to all this? Therefore, at the moment, Grandpa Tian just looked at Grandma Tian with a look of surprise and sighed: "This kid can't be the reincarnation of Xiucai!

I don't know how he talks at home, like a little adult. Grandma Tian also smiled and agreed.

"Oh, don't think about me yet! Apply what you have learned! Otherwise, you will take me in vain! Teach me all your skills!" Zhang He said excitedly.

"Hehe, you kid. If you know how to read, you want to learn skills!" Grandpa Tian said with a smile.

"I recognize..." Zhang He suddenly realized that he was about to say the wrong thing again, so he immediately changed his words: "If you don't know how to read, you can learn to read porcelain from your grandmother first! Color and feel don't need to be partial to read to learn, as long as you have eyes and hands, you can feel it!" Zhang He didn't forget to point to the porcelain jar on the ground after speaking.

"Where did you hear all these words?" said Grandma Changtian this time.

"I forgot where I heard it! Just say if you'd like to teach me!" Zhang He actually began to play coquettishly.

"Why do you really want to apprentice?" do you know the rules of apprenticeship?" said Grandpa Tian with a smile.

"I know, I just have to help the master's family bring tea, pour water, wash clothes, and cook, so if there is any work, it will all be done by the apprentices. When the master thinks that the apprentice has good character, good morality, and good understanding, the master will teach the apprentice. I've heard my grandfather tell me about this. Zhang He took the old man's words and said.

"Hehe, then what are you going to do?" Grandpa Tian continued to tease Zhang He.

"Alright, don't tease the kid. After a while, he really got interested. Grandma Tian interjected.

"I'll do it! As long as I can learn skills, it's not a problem! Do you have a job at home now?" Zhang He said as he stood up and began to look around looking for work.

"Oh-!, you stinky boy, you don't pay for your life, right?" the old man hugged Zhang He into his arms and smiled, and Grandma Tian on the side laughed even more tears.

But at this moment, the sound of the door opening suddenly came from the north room in the courtyard.

"Your grandma is back. Grandma Tian, who had been facing the window, smiled.

"Ah!" Zhang He immediately broke free from Grandpa Tian's embrace, turned to look at the other side, and then immediately drooped his head like a deflated ball, and reluctantly put the drum stool he had sat on under the table, while saying goodbye to the old couple: "I also said that I will learn from you how to look at this porcelain jar! Hey, I have to go home! I can only learn from you next time, thank you for the water, I am leaving." ”

"Wait a minute, this is the first time I'm here, why don't you have to give you something. As he spoke, Grandpa Tian got up and took out a brand-new fountain pen from the drawer of his desk.

"Grandpa, I don't want it. Zhang He said.

"Take it! Go to school in the future!" said Grandpa Tian as he stuffed the pen into Zhang He's hand.

"Then thank you, I'm leaving. Zhang He turned around and walked out of the door, and then shouted loudly as he ran home: "Grandma, I'm here." ”
