Chapter 191: The Old Lady Who Sells Pendants
The door of an old house was open, and there was an old lady sitting in the doorway, carving something with her head down, and there was a bunch of these things hanging on the wall next to the door, which looked like pendants or something.
"What's there to see?" Rong Jingxian had no interest in this, his focus here was different from Gu Weiyang's, watching an old lady do something and delay time.
"Oh, you don't care if he looks good or not, look at it!"
The girls have no resistance to trinkets or anything, even if they don't buy it, they must look at it to be satisfied, Gu Weiyang dragged Rong Jingxian and ran over.
Rong Jingxian was spoiled and helpless, she dragged him to the front, the old lady still had chickens in the yard, and the smell of the chicken coop came to his face when he approached, Rong Jingxian couldn't help frowning.
Thinking about the fact that someone lives in such a place, he finds it unacceptable and disgusting?
There was also a dog in the yard, and when he saw the living approaching from a distance, he immediately began to bark, and the two had to stop a little farther away, the dog was too fierce after all.
The old lady heard the dog barking and knew that someone was coming, and when she looked up and saw two strangers standing not far away, she smiled at them before turning back to stop the dog.
"Young man, do you want to buy something?" asked the old lady.
Rong Jingxian didn't want to buy it, and was about to leave, but Gu Weiyang dragged him up, and opened his mouth to agree: "Yes, grandma, you originally wanted to sell these things?"
"Hang it out and sell it, kid, what do you like?"
Gu Weiyang looked at it, it was all kinds of hand-carved gadgets, some were jade, some were wood carvings, the shapes were very delicate and delicate, the largest was only the size of a finger, and wearing a rope was a pendant.
Wear it around your neck or on your wrist.
The old lady is very skillful.
Gu Weiyang started chatting with the old lady while watching, the woman couldn't stop chatting for a while at first, Rong Jingxian knew this very well, it was useless to block it, just let the two of them talk.
He walked around and looked around on his own.
In the future, if the resort is renovated, this kind of chicken coop will have to be rectified, it will be too dirty and affect the sanitary conditions.
Dogs can't be raised, and they bark at every turn, affecting the rest of the guests.
This kind of old dilapidated house can be directly demolished and rebuilt, and there is no need to repair it at all.
He had only taken two steps to the left and right of the door, and the house had already appeared in his eyes, and it could be said that it was useless.
Over there, Gu Weiyang had already picked several necklaces.
It's not that she likes these things much, it's mainly that she thinks that this old lady's life is not easy, and she wants to help her.
The old lady has both children and daughters, but when the children grow up, they all go to the city to work, and when they have knowledge, they refuse to come back to this small village, and no one is willing to serve her, the old lady, and she has been living alone for so many years.
At first, the children would take turns to send her living expenses back every month, but the more they arrived, several people began to fight among themselves, and they all passed the buck to each other, and no one simply stopped giving money to the old mother.
The old lady had no choice but to do some manual work to earn some money and make a living by herself.
The chickens raised at home were reluctant to eat their own eggs when they laid eggs, so they were all taken out and sold for money.
Gu Weiyang felt sour when she heard this, she didn't stuff money into the old lady's hands, people can eat with their own hands, she is humiliating to the old man by doing this, she can only buy more of her handicrafts.
But whether it is giving money or buying her things, it is a drop in the bucket for her, and she can save a while, but she can't save a lifetime.
As the old lady spoke, she finished a small gourd in her hand, put on a rope and made a pendant to hang on the wall next to her.
The material is jade, which is the leftover material left over from jade carving, which was given to her for free, and the water head is not in good condition, so it can only be used to make some such gadgets.
Fortunately, the old lady is ingenious and flexible, and she can often use the flaws as decoration, and the small things she makes are unique.
Gu Weiyang saw that there was already a small gourd that had been made next to him, which was exactly the same as this one, but the position of the bubbles in it was different.
Gu Weiyang saw that what he liked was not good, so he bought these two together, planning to have one with Rong Jingxian, and together they were careful.
How much love, how healing.
Rong Jingxian turned around, there was nothing to see anymore, Gu Weiyang was still here, he couldn't go far, he walked back with his hands behind his back, and it happened that Gu Weiyang paid the money, holding the pair of small gourds in his hands.
Seeing him coming, Gu Weiyang excitedly handed him one: "For you, you either?"
How could Rong Jingxian ask for it, with a disgusted face, this kind of worthless and inferior material made of things can only be worn by people who can't afford to buy good goods.
Plunges.
Gu Weiyang was rejected, he was very unhappy, he stomped his mouth and feet, and held up two small gourd puzzles to show him: "Look at it, what is this? This is natural, not man-made, don't you think this thing is very meaningful?"
Rong Jingxian glanced at the two gourds spelled out carefully, it was indeed a kit coincidence, but this did not prove anything in his eyes, men sometimes made people angry rationally: "The bubble is not man-made, but the gourd is artificial, so this thing is still man-made." ”
Gu Weiyang finally couldn't stand it anymore, and began to sensationalize, humming and chirping: "This is what I gave you, are you sure you don't want it? It's rare for people to want something to be a pair with you, so you ...... it."
Before Gu Weiyang finished speaking, Rong Jingxian had already bent down and asked her to put it on for him.
Gu Weiyang was dumbfounded.
I knew that saying this would work, so why did she talk so much nonsense before.
Gu Weiyang was happy, and happily put on the small gourd for Rong Jingxian, and handed it to Rong Jingxian and asked him to help put it on.
Rong Jingxian hung the gourd around her neck from above, pinched it and looked at it at the end, shook her head and looked at it with contempt: "It's ugly to wear this kind of clothes and bring this kind of thing." ”
"Aren't you too?"
When Rong Jingxian heard this, he glanced down and decisively hid the gourd around his neck in his clothes.
The old lady next to her watched the two young people show affection here, with a kind and kind smile on her face, and even the wrinkles were laughing into a bunch.
Although she was smiling, her eyes showed infinite sadness, probably thinking of her own children.
Gu Weiyang said goodbye to the old lady and told her that she would come to buy her things when she passed by here in the future, and even bought all the eggs that the old lady had saved for half a month and took them away.
The old lady was so happy, it had been so long, and it was rare that someone was willing to accompany her to talk so much, and they had a good chat.
Until this moment, the old lady didn't know that the two young people in front of her would affect the fate of the rest of her life.
Back in the car, Gu Weiyang carefully put the eggs away.
Rong Jingxian has always disliked the smell of on the eggs.
"Can't I afford eggs? Can't you buy eggs in the supermarket? Do you have to bring these things back?"
Gu Weiyang unceremoniously scolded: "What do you know, her life is so difficult, these are the fundamentals of her survival, what's wrong with helping others?"
Rong Jingxian sneered while driving: "Hmph, being mixed up like this shows that she failed in her early years." ”
Gu Weiyang was furious: "Shut up! What qualifications do you have to say this? How many situations do you know that you can judge other people's lives here without shame? Or do you think that everyone in this world is the same as you, born in favorable conditions? When the environment is different, the same struggle cannot achieve the same result. ”
After she finished these words in one breath, she was a little out of breath, her chest fell together, she was quite emotional, and she stared at Rong Jingxian and gasped.
Rong Jingxian kept his eyes on the front of the car, his side face with perfect and handsome lines was tense, his face was neither yin nor yang, and he couldn't tell if he was angry, and he didn't open his mouth to respond to Gu Weiyang's words for a long time.
The atmosphere in the carriage was frozen for a while.
Gu Weiyang just stared at him like this, staring at him all the time, until Rong Jingxian stopped at an intersection and waited for the red light, then finally turned his head and said: "There is one like her, there are countless people who are similar to her, if you worry about each one, how much do you think you can take care of?"
He spoke coldly, his eyes dark and deep, like an abyss staring at you.
This rhetorical question made Gu Weiyang speechless.
She suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness, whether she was willing to accept this sentence or not, in fact, the truth was so cruel, and there was nothing wrong with what Rong Jingxian said.
This old lady is not special among the countless people who need help, she just ran into her, she felt that the old lady was very special, and in need of help, she reached out.
But from another angle, what is different about her.
Just like her situation back then, there was a prisoner in every room who was suppressed and bullied by everyone, and every such prisoner was eager for help, but if anyone was really willing to help these suppressed prisoners, they could only help one.
Who's that special?
She?
Maybe she thinks she's that special because she has a story.
What about other people? Don't other people feel special? Don't other people have stories?
Under the powerlessness, Gu Weiyang even felt very powerless to raise the bar with Rong Jingxian, and he was holding on: "I don't care about others, I have to take care of this one, otherwise I can't get over my conscience." ”
The green light turned on, Rong Jingxian started the car and drove away, glanced at her by the way when he turned the corner, and said in a deep voice: "Water and floods are water, but floods are not good things like water." ”
Gu Weiyang understood what he meant and was silent.
After the car turned around, Rong Jingxian said leisurely: "Put away your useless kindness." You are not charitable, you are in business, you must open your eyes, don't just stare at one point. ”
Gu Weiyang continued to remain silent, but he was still thinking about the old lady in his heart, his thoughts diverged to the sky, and he thought of himself when he thought about it.
People are so ridiculous, she wants to enjoy family affection under her knees, but Zhang Manhua only thinks about enjoying her own happiness and spending money, and doesn't care about her life or death, she solves it by herself when she is hungry and sick, and she is not even stocked.
It's simply self-fending.
Just now, the old lady was worried about whether her children were doing well, but people still didn't appreciate it.
Gu Weiyang despised the children of those old ladies she hadn't seen in her heart, the world was really big, and there were all kinds of fools.
As soon as he returned to the company, Rong Jingxian began to put the renovation of the resort on the agenda, and asked Gu Weiyang to do a survey first to see how the market demand was, and when the survey statistics came out, he could release the news, and then the company's senior management held a meeting to discuss the next step.
Gu Weiyang made several questionnaires, printed them out, and asked the little brother in the technical department to temporarily program a small program to make an electronic version of the questionnaire, combining online and offline, and the respondents can choose at will.
The little brother in the technical department wrote the code with a sad face, because Gu Weiyang made several questionnaires with different contents, which doubled the complexity of the little brother's code, and the little brother was very depressed: "Secretary Gu, why do you have to get a few different contents......
