"What's going on?"
After Zhuang Rui and Ouyang Jun returned to the courtyard, they found that it was not Peng Fei who opened the door, but a stranger, and couldn't help but shout loudly: "Peng Fei, Peng Fei ......"
Hao Long has been home this year, and Peng Fei is left with a security guard in the house, how can he let strangers in casually during the Chinese New Year, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but feel a little angry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Okay, don't scream, look like this, the old man is coming to live......"
Ouyang Jun pulled Zhuang Rui, he has lived with his grandfather since he was a child, and he is no stranger to the person in front of him wearing a black leather jacket, although he doesn't know this person, but from the temperament and expression of the place, Ouyang Jun can see that he is a member of the Security Bureau.
Hearing Ouyang Jun say this, Zhuang Rui thought about it, his mother seemed to have told him a few days ago that his grandparents were going to come here for the New Year, and the second uncle and brother-in-law were also coming, as for the eldest uncle, there was no time, and when it came to his status, the more Spring Festival and holidays, the busier he was.
This year, Zhao Guodong and Zhuang Min will also come to Beijing for the New Year, plus a few cousins and cousins, Zhuang Rui's big yard is completely reflected, more than 10 bedrooms are not empty, Ouyang Wan has taken Sister-in-law Li to tidy up the room these days.
Hearing that it was his grandparents who came to live, Zhuang Rui was also very happy, the New Year in his memory was his mother, sister and three of them, although they could also wear new clothes and set off firecrackers, but they always felt a little cold, and they were very envious of other people's families together.
"Brother Zhuang, I was arranged for a holiday by them......"
Peng Fei, who lived in the front yard, ran over after hearing Zhuang Rui's shout, and said helplessly, followed by a snow-white figure, but it was the white lion who ran over after hearing Zhuang Rui's voice, and the guard standing next to him was very vigilant about the white lion, for fear that the Tibetan mastiff would hurt people.
"Hey, you're going to have a snowball fight with those little things again?"
Since the beginning of winter, the white lion has been much more active than before, and at this time it is full of snow, presumably caused by those two little girls.
The white lion shook the long hair on his body, and immediately made Zhuang Rui's face snowy, and after playing with the white lion for a while, Zhuang Rui saw Peng Fei still standing there, and said: "If you have a holiday, you will have a holiday, then you can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind, by the way, did you go to Zhang Qian's house?"
Zhuang Rui led the white lion and Ouyang Jun into the house as he spoke, and the people in the guard bureau all knew the composition of this family, and they did not stop the two.
"Going, the meal over there at noon ......"
Peng Fei smiled embarrassedly, Zhuang Rui pursed his lips when he heard this, now the raised girl is really worthless, she will get on the bus first and make up the ticket, and then she will go to her mother-in-law's house to eat and drink, and she will have a son in the future.
"Wu'er, you go in and call your sister-in-law out, we're going home......"
When Ouyang Jun saw the old man here, he didn't want to go in his heart, not that he didn't respect the old man, but that he had been afraid of him since he was a child.
"Fourth brother, grandpa has already eaten, let's go, let's go to the restaurant for a few drinks, and you can go back and let your sister-in-law drive in the evening......"
Ouyang Gang's schedule is very regular, he eats at 6 o'clock every night, then exercises for a while, watches the news broadcast on time at 7 o'clock, and goes to bed on time at 9 o'clock.
Since I stayed in Panjiayuan for a long time today, it was almost 7 o'clock when I got home, so Zhuang Rui said that the old man was definitely not in the restaurant.
Ouyang Jun thought about it, and followed Zhuang Rui to the middle courtyard, but as soon as he stepped into the hanging flower gate of the middle courtyard, he saw his aunt supporting his grandparents and walking in the courtyard, and Ouyang Jun's face immediately became bitter.
"Grandparents and grandmothers, your second old man has so good legs and feet, and he can walk on his own, why do you always let my mother support you......"
Zhuang Rui was not afraid of this old man, leaned over and joked with a hippie smile, and patted the white lion's head by the way, and let the white lion play by himself, it was not quite the same as Ouyang Gang's magnetic field, and he bared his teeth when he met, but the old man liked to tease the white lion, if it wasn't for Zhuang Rui's explanation, the white lion didn't know what his grandfather was.
"How can this kid talk to his grandparents......
Ouyang Wan raised her right hand and slapped Zhuang Rui, but her face was full of smiles, saying that the old man was sad in winter, but the old father's health was getting better and better, which made several of them happy as children.
"You little ghost, you don't touch your house all day, come here, help me to walk in the pavilion......"
Ouyang Gang's waist is straight, and in the past few months, he also feels that he is in good spirits, and he has been outdoors for a long time.
"That's it, just start a family right away, don't go crazy outside all day......" said the old lady.
"What do you know, a good boy has ambitions in all directions, and besides, the kid doesn't go out to fool around, he's much more productive than that bastard......"
The old man could scold his grandson, but he didn't let his wife say it, and he scolded Ouyang Jun with him.
But this scolded the grandson, the old lady didn't agree again, the old couple suddenly widened their eyes, and Zhuang Rui snickered when they saw it, until his mother glared at him, Zhuang Rui helped his grandfather to walk to the pavilion on the pond.
"That was a good job the other day......
"What's the matter?"
Zhuang Rui was stunned by the old man's sudden words.
"The matter of gold, although our country reserves the amount of gold, it is also among the top few in the world, but compared with the previous two, the gap is too big, you can think about the country, this is very good......"
Ouyang Gang is very satisfied with his grandson, in addition to Ouyang Lei, he is most optimistic about Zhuang Rui, this kid is smart and not pedantic, he has a good grasp of proportion, and since the time of recognizing his relatives, he has never done anything with the help of his own name, which is much stronger than his little grandson.
But it's a pity that Zhuang Rui is not taking a career in office, otherwise, with his own ability, he is completely sure that this grandson will be able to govern the party at the age of thirty.
"Grandpa, back then, little Japan snatched so many things from our country, and this can be regarded as a return of interest, Brother Lei told you about this, right?"
Although the old man was praising himself, Zhuang Rui was still a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know what Ouyang Lei said, but looking at it like this, Ouyang Lei didn't seem to say anything about himself, otherwise if the old man knew that there were a total of 10 tons of gold, I am afraid that he would not praise himself, but start beating with the crutches in his hand.
"Well, you have done something for the country, and the country will not forget it, I heard that you are going to graduate school next year, do you want to find a job in the government department......?
Although the old man taught Ouyang Jun a lesson all day long, in fact, he knew in his heart that these juniors in the family could not make mistakes financially, but they really lost Ouyang Jun's financial support, and his attitude towards Ouyang Jun was mainly because he couldn't change his habits.
"Government work?"
After Zhuang Rui heard his grandfather's words, he was stunned for a moment, to say that two or three years ago, Zhuang Rui, who was an absolute civil servant, longed for, with a high salary and idleness, but now he doesn't want to wade into this troubled water, look at those who are officials, they have money in their hands and are called corrupt, and they are scolded for being incompetent if they have no money, so buddy doesn't look for that sin.
"Grandpa, I'd better do a little business, by the way, I'm going to have a store in Panjiayuan soon, and I won't run around when I open and close the door in the future, just forget about going to work......"
"Let's go, help me back to the house, the news is about to start......"
The old man showed a look of disappointment on his face, but he didn't say much, he blamed himself for this, he didn't recognize his daughter and grandson for the sake of face in the early years, and now he can't interfere too much in Zhuang Rui's life.
ā¦ā¦
The next day, Zhuang Rui set the alarm clock to 6 o'clock, got up early and drove to the TV station by himself, since he promised others, he had to do things well, which is also Zhuang Rui's code of conduct, and it was also a very happy thing to chat with a few experts there.
The recording of the treasure show went very smoothly, it only took more than two hours, and the objects brought by the treasure holder on the scene were recorded, and then some staff dressed up as treasure connoisseurs, and took some things in the warehouse to identify, and at noon, the seven-day special program has been recorded for most of the time, as long as you come again tomorrow for half a day, you can complete it all.
After returning to the courtyard in the afternoon, Zhuang Rui saw that Zhao Guodong had also arrived in Beijing and brought him an Audi car, Zhuang Rui still liked his Grand Cherokee, so he threw the key to the Audi car to Peng Fei.
Zhuang Rui will think about buying another car, after Xuan Bing comes, she also needs a car, but this matter is not in a hurry, after Qin Xuan Bing comes, let's see what car she likes.
After Zhuang Rui's courtyard became more crowded, it became lively, although Ouyang Lei was busy, but his daughter-in-law and son also moved in, leading a group of children to frolic in the yard, followed by the white lion behind them.
This is Zhuang Rui's special explanation, as long as the girl runs to the pond, she will be pulled back by the white lion's clothes, and the fat girl is dancing in the mouth of the white lion, which often causes people in the busy yard to laugh.
Zhuang Rui and others are cleaning the courtyard, and all the doors are posted couplets and blessing characters, for the average family, this work is very easy to do, but Zhuang Rui's courtyard, there are more than 20 rooms alone, and more than 200 blessing characters have been bought, and they are very busy.
On the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhuang Rui came to the TV station for the last time, and at this time, Beijing City became more and more festive.
Driving on the road, Zhuang Rui could see that many people were wearing festive red silk cotton jackets that were only worn during the New Year, although the weather was still cold, but everywhere they looked, people's faces were filled with happy smiles.
"Teacher Jin, Happy New Year, I will give you an early year......
"Teacher Sun, have a good ...... for the New Year"
"Xiaozhuang, Happy New Year, Happy New Year......"
After entering the CCTV hall, the words that filled my ears were all the voices of New Year's greetings.
Although it is only the first day of the new year in Ming'er, the Chinese have a habit that the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve is the most important, looking at those people who have been busy outside for a year, desperately rushing home before the year, just to have a reunion dinner at home in the thirties.
"By the way, Mr. Liu, some time ago in Panjiayuan, someone bought a fake Yongzheng year's official Buddha statue, do you know?"
Taking advantage of the time when the experts were seated and the host was talking in the vernacular outside, Zhuang Rui asked Liu Anan.
Before Liu Anan could answer, the fat man Jin interjected beside him: "Teacher Zhuang, are you talking about Xiao Zhao, who sells the study, and is being tricked?"
Seeing Zhuang Rui nodding, the fat man laughed and said, "You really asked the right person, Mr. Liu knows the best about that matter, and it is the ...... that he has appraised."
Jin Fatzi also knows Boss Zhao, and is also very familiar, he himself studied under the master of Chinese culture surnamed Aixin Jueluo, learning calligraphy and appreciation of calligraphy and painting, and often goes to "Shuyazhai" to buy pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and is also very clear about this matter.
"Well, it's been almost 20 days since this happened, and the quality of the Buddha statue is still good, and some novices can easily be fooled, and now it's a fake set, it's really a lot of work......"
Liu An'an also felt a little emotional when he talked about this, but Zhuang Rui was relieved, because he was also afraid that this matter would be a different set, what if Lao Zhao transferred the shop because of other things, and then caused other troubles after he took over?
The morning program was quickly filmed, and several experts received a gift bag, in addition to some snacks and gifts on it, Zhuang Rui saw that at the bottom, there was a big red envelope, which must be the reward this time.
In fact, Zhuang Rui didn't know that there was no expert funding for the CCTV treasure appreciation column this time, but Zhuang Rui joined, and after such a thing, the director specially approved 300,000 yuan RMB as the fund for hiring experts, 50,000 yuan per person, and they were still stained with Zhuang Rui's light.
"Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope!"
After bidding farewell to several experts and hosts, Zhuang Rui just sat in the car when the mobile phone ringtone that he had reset rang.
"Hey, Boss Zhuang, I'm Zhao Hanxuan......
"It's Boss Zhao, right? Hehe, how is it, have you thought about it?"
Although Zhuang Rui is very unfamiliar with the name Zhao Hanxuan, the voice is very familiar, it is Boss Zhao who was slaughtered as a fat sheep after being raised for two years.
"Boss Zhuang, call me Lao Zhao, I can't afford to be called by you......"
Zhao Hanxuan's voice came from the phone, and after a pause, he continued: "Boss Zhuang, I have thought about this matter, as long as you agree to take over Shuyazhai, I will be a master for you for a year......"
Zhao Hanxuan on the other end of the phone was a little bitter when he said this, he was an old Beijinger, and he collected this piece in the study, and he was also quite famous, but he didn't think that people would make a mistake in middle age, not only did their own store disappear, but they also had to work for others.
But the situation is pressing, he can't help it, after thinking about it for two days, he finally made a decision, and before calling Zhuang Rui, he had already informed all the creditors that before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he must return the money borrowed, otherwise, Zhao Hanxuan would not be able to pass this year.
"Okay, Lao Zhao, I'll wait for your call......"
Zhuang Rui was very happy when he heard that Zhao Hanxuan agreed, to be honest, Zhuang Rui didn't care at all about how much money he could make from his study utensils, he was thinking that the batch of jewelry he got from Myanmar finally had a place to sell.
In his spare time these days, Zhuang Rui sorted out the jewelry from Myanmar and divided it into several categories, one is nephrite jewelry, mostly small ornaments, the jade material is of high quality, the carving is delicate, and the age is quite old, most of the objects before the Xianfeng Dynasty, even the Ming Dynasty also has a lot.
These are completely antique ancient jade, but can not be sold according to the price of ordinary jade, this thing is an antique, Zhuang Rui roughly estimated, only these ornaments pendant jade ornaments, its value will be more than 50 million, this is still Zhuang Rui did not count a few pieces of fine products into the conclusion.
Some other things are gemstones, including rubies, which are special products of Myanmar, as well as turquoise, agate ruyi and other objects, which can also be classified as antiques.
Then there are the pearls, which contain a string of superb black pearls with a particle size between 9mm and 10mm, which can be called a priceless treasure, Zhuang Rui does not know why the black pearls from the Polynesian islands are in Myanmar, but these black pearls are definitely not dyed, but natural black pearls that are expensive and will only appear in auctions.
Zhuang Rui naturally won't sell this thing, with Qin Xuanbing's fair skin, if he wears this pearl necklace, it will definitely be even more glamorous and moving, Zhuang Rui has decided to give it to Qin Xuanbing as a gift when he is engaged.
"Hey, Boss Zhuang, are you listening?"
Zhuang Rui was thinking about his thoughts, and he was a little distracted, and Zhao Hanxuan's voice came from the phone.
"In, here......" Zhuang Rui hurriedly agreed.
"Boss Zhuang, I can agree to your conditions, but I hope you can go through the transfer procedures of Shuyazhai before the fifteenth day of the first month, you ...... You know, I'm waiting for this money to save my life......"
Zhao Hanxuan doesn't have any thoughts now, he just wants to pay off the account first, and then honestly give Zhuang Rui a one-year job, no matter what you say, the monthly salary of 30,000 yuan is not low, and after a year, I will think of a way to redo some business about study utensils.
"Hehe, Boss Zhao, you should open that store normally first, I will pass before the third year of junior high school, and I will ask for your ......opinion on some specific things at that time."
Zhuang Rui smiled, he had some other plans in his heart at this time, but it was just a vague idea, and he had to think about it carefully, and wait until the New Year to visit the temple fair, and then talk to Zhao Hanxuan.
After returning to the courtyard, the family was already a busy year, Ouyang Jun and others gathered in a room to play cards, and the little babies were playing in the courtyard, but fortunately, the courtyard was big enough for them to toss.
Ouyang Wan and Zhang's mother Li sister-in-law, as well as Zhuang Rui's cousins, were busy in the kitchen, steaming rice cakes, croquettes, fried fish, potato chips, scorched leaves and other New Year's food, rationed to the old man's cook, was given a holiday by Ouyang Wan, and the Chinese New Year's Eve meal was still made by himself.
A few children went into the kitchen from time to time, touched a few pieces of delicious food and ran, and there were laughter and scolding of several women behind them, Jiang Ying and others also came from the era of material poverty, although there were nannies at home all these years, but now they are also doing it with relish.
As night fell, the sound of firecrackers gradually sounded outside, Zhuang Rui turned on all the lights in the courtyard, and even on the rockery in the courtyard, there were colorful small lights flickering, and the whole house was brightly lit at night.
"Eat Chinese New Year's Eve Rice......"
The little babies in the courtyard shouted in unison, and under Ouyang Wan's greeting, they swarmed into the restaurant, and the sound of chirping filled the huge room.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner this time was divided into five tables, and the old man's security personnel and Zhang Ma and others opened two tables in the front yard, but in the restaurant in the middle courtyard, they opened three tables.
Because there are too many people, just the female dependents and children sit at one table, Zhuang Rui and Ouyang Jun's brothers and Zhao Guodong and others are at the same table, and Ouyang Gang and Ouyang Zhenwu and others sit alone at a table, and only Ouyang Lei is among the people of Zhuang Rui's generation.
"Zhuang Rui, come here, sit here......"
Ouyang Gang's loud voice rang out, and suddenly the room fell silent, everyone's eyes looked at Zhuang Rui, and the eyes of the Ouyang Lu brothers were full of envy.
You must know that being able to do it at that table is equivalent to being able to participate in the core things of the family, although Ouyang Long and Ouyang Lu have now become department-level cadres, they still have no qualifications to go to the table.
"Come here, Xiao Rui, the old man is going to test you, look at you, a collector, how much do you know about vulgar things?"
Ouyang Zhenwu smiled and waved his hand at Zhuang Rui, and also dispelled the doubts of the brothers, but Zhuang Rui was spoiled by the old man, which everyone could see.
"Fire, eat!"
The old man waved his hand, and Ouyang Lei's son took an incense stick and lit the ten thousand rings of earth red hanging on the big tree at the entrance of the restaurant, and suddenly, the "crackling" firecrackers rang out.
"Chinese New Year, ...... fireworks"
In the deafening sound of firecrackers, in the dazzling sparks, everyone's faces were beaming, and the children shouted excitedly.
"Dad, Mom, I wish you two old people good luck like the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan ......"
After the old man waved his hand and signaled that everyone could start eating, Ouyang Zhenwu and Ouyang Wan's children all stood up and toasted the old man and the old lady with a glass of wine.
"Grandparents, grandparents, I wish you two old ......" Behind them, the third generation of Ouyang Lei and Zhuang Rui lined up to pay New Year's greetings.
In the end, it was the turn of those children, who lay on the ground for a large time, and after kowtowing, they got up in a swarm, and reached out to ask the old man and the old lady to ask for the New Year's money.
"Well, all of them, all of them are ......"
The old man and the old lady couldn't close their mouths with a smile, and took the red envelopes prepared by their daughters and sent them to the little babies one by one.
"It's the New Year...... Zhuang Rui looked at the scene of the four generations in the same hall, and a warmth flowed through his heart.
