Chapter 151: Literary and Artistic Youth
"Ga~" Just now, Zheng was not sensible, and a few people who came to congratulate him without even bringing a gift suddenly quieted down.
Why don't you play cards according to common sense? Go to relatives to give gifts, which one doesn't hold all the gifts in your hands? Does this kid deliberately set us up?
was slapped in the face in an instant, and the three women frowned secretly.
"Well, okay, Xiao also has a heart, thank you!" Zhang Aimin smiled and patted Zheng Ye on the back.
Zhang Aimin understood that Zheng Ye was a little withdrawn because of what he encountered, and saw that these people were not very kind to Zheng, and once Zheng Pingsheng took Zheng Ye home, Zheng Ye would not have any intersection with these people, so he directly skipped the introduction and beckoned Zheng Ye to dinner.
However, a few women have just been put on a table by Zheng Ye, so are you willing to let it go?
"What kind of gift is this for your Uncle Zhang?" asked Chen Meiling, staring at the two boxes that Zheng Ye gave to Zhang Aimin.
Two wooden boxes, one is long, one foot long, and the other is square, with a large palm, which looks a little quaint in appearance, and even has signs of wear and tear on the upper end of the long box.
"Yo, it looks like it's a family heirloom, right?" Liu Tingting glanced at it and said exaggeratedly.
When his family first came here, I helped him run the house and buy furniture, heirlooms~" Chen Meihua sneered.
"Heirloom? If you want to give it to Uncle Zhang, he's willing to give it to him? haha. Wang Chaoqun also laughed.
"Come, let me see what birthday gift Xiao Ye gave to Uncle Zhang, who loves him the most!" Chen Meihua took it directly and prepared to open it.
"Okay, let's eat first, it's small, I like everything. Zhang Aimin hurriedly stopped.
He's had enough of these women, who knows what they're going to say when the box is opened.
"Don't, take a look, let's see what your favorite little one gave you?" Chen Meihua took the first step to open the box.
One of the things he is most dissatisfied with Zheng Ye is that Zhang Aimin gave Zheng Ye money privately, after all, the current Zheng is an orphan who no one cares about.
If Zhang Aimin doesn't give it, who will give him money?
Although Zhang Aimin said that Zheng didn't need to spend his family's money, Chen Meihua definitely didn't believe it.
I guessed in my heart that Zhang Aimin lied to her when she said that the unit bonus was canceled, and the monthly bonus was estimated to be given to Zheng Ye.
However, Zhang Aimin's unit bonus of more than 1,000 per month is nothing in Chen Meihua's eyes.
It is estimated that it is just enough for Zheng Ye's living expenses.
Therefore, she definitely doesn't think that Zheng can also have the money to buy any good gifts for Zhang Aimin.
really
The long box opened to reveal a brush with a rusty barrel and a handful of thick, shiny red hairs.
"Brush, poof~ or an old brush......"
"Hehe, do you want to give an old one to give a brush, it's not expensive to buy a new one, right?" Chen Meihua couldn't help laughing.
However, the moment Zhang Aimin saw the brush, he was instantly stunned.
After a while, Zhang Aimin turned his head to look at Zheng Ye, his eyes full of warmth.
"I haven't touched a brush in years. Zhang Aimin took the brush from Chen Meihua's hand and sighed secretly.
The reason why he has a very good relationship with Zheng Pingsheng, who is much higher than him in terms of wealth and social status, is that in addition to the fact that the two are college classmates, the most important thing is that both of them were literary and artistic young people when they were young.
It's really literature and art!
Zheng Pingsheng likes to paint, Zhang Aimin likes calligraphy, and when others are vying for fame and fortune, these two artistic souls sparked a spark of friendship.
However, when Zhang Aimin came out of society, because he did not have a family like Zheng Pingsheng as a backer, he needed to work hard and work hard by himself.
As his work became more and more busy, he slowly forgot about this hobby.
There are not even four treasures of the study at home.
When Zheng Ye was still young, Zhang Aimin occasionally went to Zheng Ye's house, saw Zheng Pingsheng's brush, and was interested, and would write a few words casually.
It's been almost ten years now, and he's almost forgotten that he once had a dream of calligraphy!
"Now I can pick up this hobby, thank you, Xiaoye!" Zhang Aimin looked at Zheng Ye lovingly, his eyes full of gratitude.
It was Zheng Ye who awakened his former dream!
Zheng Ye smiled slightly, he always remembered this incident, because Zheng Pingsheng told him about Zhang Aimin's past when he was a child.
And to be honest, the reason why he occasionally writes calligraphy is because of Zhang Aimin's enlightenment to him.
"Hey, Lao Zhang, isn't it? Is it really an antique?" Seeing Zhang Aimin's unusual reaction, Wang Chaoqun took the brush in confusion.
"Uncle Zhang, do you like this? I often look at the roadside of the antique city near our school, there seems to be this kind of thing, it looks like an antique, Uncle Zhang likes this kind of thing, I will wholesale a few cars for you next time." Li Xiaohan was stunned for a while, and hurriedly said, how could he believe that Zheng could also give away antiques?
"Yes, there are a lot of ways to do it, and it's also very cheap, and you can buy it on the side of the road. Chen Meiling also added.
Zhang Aimin picked up another box and didn't bother to explain to them why he was so happy.
The square box didn't have to be opened, he had already guessed what it was.
After all, the four treasures of the study, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, paper and ink are not easy to give away, and sending pen and inkstone is also a gift.
Sure enough, when I opened the box, a palm-sized, dark stone inkstone in the middle, and an inkstone with a mahogany inkstone around it appeared in front of me.
"Good, soft graphite jade, smooth inkstone bottom, high inkstone, good inkstone!" Zhang Aimin was full of praise.
Seeing that Zhang Aimin liked Zheng Ye's gift so much, the faces of several other people became more and more ugly.
"Ouch, Lao Zhang, I didn't see that you like calligraphy? You're too exaggerated, right? Okay, okay, put it aside, if you like pens and inkstones, Xiaohan will definitely send you a good one."
Hurry up and wash your hands, this looks very old, and I don't know how long the roadside has been on the side, how many people have touched it, and there are bacteria. Of course, Chen Meihua doesn't know Zhang Aimin's hobbies, because in addition to fame and fortune in her heart, how can she pretend to be anything else?
"Yes, Xiaohan's gift to you is very valuable, by the way, Xiaohan, it's not that Auntie said you, you have such a good relationship with Vena, don't give such a valuable gift in the future, it's too expensive!" Chen Meiling saw that Li Xiaohan's mother and son were a little lost, and quickly changed the topic.
Li Xiaohan was overjoyed, and hurriedly smiled: "Auntie, it's okay, it's all small gifts, not expensive!"
Seeing Li Xiaohan say this, Liu Tingting was a little displeased, and hurriedly added:
"Yes, mother-in-law, it's all worthless little things, a Patek Philippe low-key gentleman, which Xiaohan personally went to the provincial capital to buy, and it's only a few hundred thousand, and a Tianlang reckless leather tie is only a few hundred thousand, and the Gucci wallet, which is only tens of thousands,
I can declare that we definitely didn't give him money, Xiaohan was sensible and saved his own New Year's money, but to be honest, Xiaohan was really careful to choose gifts this time, things are not valuable, but the heart is really heavy. ”
"Gollum~" Zhang Aimin, who had just put the pen and inkstone aside, heard this, and immediately swallowed his saliva, why is this here to frame me?
If you take those few things out casually, I'm afraid that you will be investigated immediately.
Can I ask for such a valuable thing for a non-family or reason?
You'll have to go back!
