After the two finished eating, Gu Qin took the new drawing board and sat on the threshold of Zhong Yue's house, preparing for a new creation.

"You're painting here, I'm going to go out. ”

Gu Qin's paintbrush moved, and he raised his eyes, "Why are you going?"

"Ask someone to buy gasoline. ”

"Don't worry, the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry. ”

Zhong Yue saw that Gu Qin, who could only be quiet like a normal person when he was painting, really didn't know how he did it when he was mixed with Huang Mingchuan, carrying a small leather bag, and looking like a little sister next door, maybe the girl in front of him who was lively by nature and slightly rebellious was the real Gu Qin.

"In addition to gasoline, you have to buy some vegetables, otherwise what are you going to eat at night?

"Yes. Gu Qin raised his straw hat, "Didn't you say that there are other ways to do it?"

"Eat dry. ”

Gu Qin frowned, "Then you go grocery shopping, I invited this meal." As he spoke, he took out a small leather bag with a unique shape from the cloth bag on the side, "Here is a thousand yuan, which is the cost of food and accommodation at your house for the past few days." ”

Zhong Yue turned to leave, "No need. I'll be right back. ”

Gu Qin took out his mobile phone, saw more than a dozen missed calls on it, stuffed it back into his bag, picked up the paintbrush, and continued to create.

Zhong Yue first went to the fat aunt's shop, ready to buy some tobacco, alcohol and peanuts for Zhang Laifu. At Zhang Laifu's age, he has no children and no daughters, and his wife left early, so he has no worries, and his only hobby may be smoking and drinking. Although smoking is harmful to health, for an old smoker like Uncle Zhang for decades, it is better to let him quit smoking than to kill him.

"Fat aunt, come to a hibiscus king, and two bottles of Luzhou Laojiao. ”

"Yo, Xiaoyue, where did you get rich?"

"Nope. ”

The fat aunt smiled, "I still play sloppy with your fat aunt, who doesn't know that you follow Old Man Zhang to learn how to make pens, are you making money from a teacher? Let me tell you, now craftsmen can make money is popular, it's good, it's better than being like a nerd, it's better to be bored at home all day, take tobacco and alcohol, and get money on credit." ”

Zhong Yue put the money on the table, "I can't give you credit to anyone, thank you, Fat Aunt, let's go." ”

"This kid still said that he didn't make any money. ”

……

……

"Master. ”

"You kid still remember my master, who has been running around for three days without a trace, what are you busy with all day long?"

Zhong Yue saw Zhang Laifu with a straight face, and put cigarettes and alcohol on the table.

"Yo, what's the matter, picked up the money?"

"I paid back Brother Daguang's money. ”

Zhang Laifu was stunned, "That crappy painting, sold?"

"The painting didn't sell, the seal did. ”

"The seal, the twenty buck?"

Zhong Yue nodded, filled the old wooden basin with well water, and clamped the rabbit fur latte that he had used for practice before. Now the craft of pen making, Zhong Yue has initially mastered the general process, but to make a qualified pen, you still need to practice more diligently, after all, the craft is a thing, that is led by the master into the door to practice in the individual.

Zhang Laifu looked disbelieving, "Come on, what can you value if you have twenty yuan." ”

"One hundred and sixty thousand. ”

"Poof, ahem. ”

"Drink slowly, don't choke. ”

Zhang Laifu wiped the wine from his mouth, "How much do you say?"

"One hundred and sixty thousand. ”

"Didn't you dream?"

Zhong Yue sat back in front of the water basin, chatting and practicing pen-making work, "How can it, the seal was sold to Xiao Zhan Li, and he gave 10,000 yuan to Brother Guang, his father is going to have surgery, oh, you can keep the 5,000 here, in case something can be used." ”

Zhong Yue is not an idiot, showing off his wealth everywhere, but Zhang Laifu and Zhou Daguang are people who really help him, so they naturally want to repay him.

Seeing Zhong Yue say that there really seemed to be such a thing, Zhang Laifu was even more shocked, "I don't want money, I want money for people who have stepped into the coffin with one foot." Xiao Zhu Li's palm saw the seal, and he received it directly, it seems that it was really missed for you. ”

"The seal of Tian Huang in the Ming Dynasty is still the work of Cheng Kui, the originator of the Anhui faction, and it is worth 100,000 yuan, but he must collect 160,000 yuan, and it is okay if I don't sell it to him. ”

"Gotta have it, say you're fat and you're still panting. More than 100,000 is enough for you to spend for a while, at least when you graduate, you won't have to worry about finding a job. ”

Zhong Yue smiled and said, "I was just going to decorate my home and throw out 100,000 yuan." ”

"Poof!"

Zhang Laifu squirted out another sip of wine, "You kid, you really think that money is so easy to earn! 100,000, you are crazy!"

"I'm not crazy. ”

"You're not crazy...... You spend 100,000 yuan like a waste, it's really a lot of money. ”

Zhong Yue saw Zhang Laifu's distressed appearance, and understood that these people of the older generation had worked hard all their lives to make money, and they might just want to save some money for future generations, so that they would spend money to go out for a meal, and they would feel distressed for a long time.

"Master, my house has been in disrepair for a long time, so it naturally needs to be renovated. ”

"No, it's ...... You can't spend money like this, and when you earn a few more years and spend two or three hundred thousand yuan, isn't it good to buy a house in the county? ”

Zhong Yue smiled slightly, "Why do you go to the county, I think it's very good here, the mountains and rivers are beautiful." ”

"......" Zhang Laifu shook his head and said that he wanted Zhong Yue to take back the money for the decoration. How did he know that Zhong Yue was going to reach the task of a junior house.

Seeing that Zhong Yue didn't listen to persuasion, Zhang Laifu also shook his head, "You, over the years, the little descendants in our township have all shaved their shoulders and drilled into the county and the city, you are good, you don't want to have a good future, but you are nesting in the ravine, and decorating, I really don't know if you are stupid or stupid?"

"It's all gone, is there still life in this township?" Zhong Yue had heard that in fact, in some villages, such a situation had already appeared, the older generation who stayed in the village had died, and the entire village had become an empty shell of ruins. The times are developing, but poverty and backwardness have made the original quiet and peaceful ancient villages come to naught, and the war has not taken away the vitality, but let the development become the poison of the slow death of these small villages.

Zhang Laifu opened the bottle, "Whatever you want." When the time comes, I won't be able to ask for a daughter-in-law, like me, I'm old, I'm old, I'm unrelated, I don't even have a person to see him off, and when the time comes, there will be a time for you to cry. ”

Zhong Yue pursed his lips, "I'll give you a pension and send you to the end." ”

When the wine came to his mouth, Zhang Laifu's eyes suddenly flickered, and he clenched the wine bottle with some fluctuations, and took a deep sip......

……

……

Zhong Yue didn't know that in Z County, there was a huge search for people, because the word he left with Li Deming was in full swing.

"How's it going?

Zhao Zhimin shook his head, "I didn't call, he learned the lacquer book from an old man in the township, so it's hard to find." ”

"The chairman has instructed that this person must be found, it doesn't matter how much money it costs, you send more people to inquire below. ”

"I'm afraid it's difficult, why don't you ask a police officer for help?"

"Don't alarm the police about this, it's not a case. ”

Zhao Zhiming was sweating hot, "You, don't say anything to him, and don't let the police help, it's really strange." ”

The man in the suit pushed the frame of his gold-wire glasses, "You think it's strange, then it's strange." After speaking, he stepped into the car and pulled the window down, "There is a message to call." ”

Zhao Zhiming looked at the Rolls-Royce Phantom, slowly drove away in the envious eyes of everyone, and snorted coldly: "Cut, give people a car, what are you?" ”

Walked into the Volkswagen, combed his hair in the rearview mirror, and muttered to himself, "What the hell is that kid, it can't be the illegitimate son of that old man, right?"
