"Boss, don't keep a straight face, when the old man sees it, it's time to count you down again. Anyway, it's better to be married than single, and you don't have to worry about whether he will listen to the family and arrange a blind date, right?"

After lunch, the three brothers gathered under the grape trellis in the back garden to chat.

Xiao Sanye crossed Erlang's legs, picked his teeth with a bamboo stick, and took the lead in expressing his own opinion.

Xiao Erbo nodded and agreed: "The third child is right. Didn't those educated youths who went to the mountains and go to the countryside all talk about marriage in the local area? Dingsheng was at fault for such a big deal and didn't talk to his family. But now that you're married, it seems that your daughter-in-law doesn't have any major problems, that's all. In the future, the two of them will live a good life, and you will have less to worry about. ”

"He can't worry about it if he wants to. Is that little couple the master who is willing to let him take care of it? obviously not!" Xiao Sanye interjected coldly.

"Third child, you just say a few words. Xiao Erbo pinched his eyebrows with a headache.

Xiao Sanye shrugged, patted his ass and got up: "Yes, Lao Tzu doesn't talk nonsense with you, Lao Tzu will accompany the baby eggs to take a nap." ”

"Wait a while, how do you arrange for Dingsheng and the two of them to live? Do you want to stay at my house?" Xiao Erbo called out to him.

"Do you have any extra room in your house? Forget it, let them live here with the boss, and Rourou and I will move back home. Go back and pick an auspicious day for the zodiac, and follow the obedient girl and son-in-law to live in the courtyard ......!

Xiao Erbo couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Don't do it in front of us, don't you, I really want to squash you!"

"Second child, you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour. ”

"Yes, yes, your daughter and son-in-law are capable, and they have only been working in Kyoto for so long, so they have earned you a courtyard house and come back, and they are still four into a big garden. Tsk, your second sister-in-law is more and more disgusted with her own son. ”

Xiao Sanye waved his backhand and walked away happily.

The remaining two brothers exchanged a few more words.

At that time, Xu Lanfang urged Xiao Dingsheng and asked him to find the old man, it was best to live here.

Although it is a little worse than the ocean-like building with a garden she imagined, it is also a serious courtyard house, the patio in front does not look big, but the garden behind it is still very attractive. Moreover, no matter how much it is drit, it is better than the miscellaneous courtyard where several families live together, and there are ready-made servants (Fu sisters-in-law), so you don't have to worry about cooking or anything. No matter how it is calculated, it is more cost-effective than staying in a guest house, saving money and worry.

But the old man didn't come back for a long time, and these elders in the family saw that none of them could call the shots, so they urged Xiao Dingsheng to pick up the old man.

"Grandpa is old, don't you take a lunch break? I just asked Sister-in-law Fu to know the approximate location of the courtyard. ”

Xiao Dingsheng frowned, he didn't really want to go. Uncle's words of "don't be hot" made him really lose face.

With a calm face, he proposed: "I think it's better to go to the guest house first, settle down and then come to see grandpa." ”

Xu Lanfang was so anxious that she really wanted to break his head and see what was inside.

When she returned home, she still lived in a guest house, and if this matter was reported back to Xining, her neighbors and junior high school classmates would know about it, and she might laugh at her.

Is there anything to worry about if there is a house of his own, isn't it just that the old man has a house? He is old, and the time he lives is limited, and when he leaves in the future, this house is not reserved for juniors. As the eldest grandson, isn't it normal to have a house from your grandfather?

In the past, they were far away in the northwest, and they couldn't jump to the old man every New Year's holiday like other grandchildren, but now that they are back, why not seize the opportunity?

The old man has a bad memory when he is old, and only by living together, bubbling up from time to time, showing his face, and brushing up a wave of goodwill, can he get his favor, and they will not be missing in the future. Otherwise, who remembers the two of them.

Thinking like this in his heart, he became more and more persuasive: "Ah Sheng, why don't I go with you to pick up grandpa?"

By the way, let's see how magnificent the Sijin Courtyard is.

"Let's go, let's go, take me around Kyoto Castle by the way." ”

The two of them muttered out the door.

Jiang Xinrou pursed her lips, took the broom out and swept the melon seed shells on the ground, thinking about it and feeling funny: "If Zhu Meidi knew that the daughter-in-law who was chosen by thousands of people was like this...... Uh, it's hard to put into words, I don't know what the mood will be. ”

Second Uncle Xiao smiled and said nothing.

The two of them cleaned up the hall, stewed the soaked lotus seed and lily soup before taking a nap, left a crack in the coal stove, simmered slowly over low heat, and drank it well.

This batch of lotus seeds was dried last year, and the lilies are also wild lilies in the mountains, all of which are picked intact and dried and hoarded.

When the weather is hot, it is the same as mung bean soup, and it is stewed in a pot the next day, which clears the heat and relieves fatigue. The old and the young in the family like it.

……

Ying Fang helped Professor Qian at the museum again this Sunday as usual.

The job assigned to her today is to transcribe and introduce the old objects that have been cleaned out and put on the cabinet.

She pays attention to efficiency in everything she does, and although copying is not her forte, she concentrates on doing it, and after an hour, she can almost copy it.

There are no living wheels for the objects, and there are museum workers. They are willing to help, and people are not necessarily reassured.

After handing over the copying work, I brought a pile of jade that needed to be cleaned up.

If the surface of the jade is only dusty, just clean it with a professional brush.

However, if it is stained with dirt or oil, and the brush is not clean, then it must be cleaned with warm and low-concentration soapy water. After washing, wash with water and dry with a soft towel.

After such a set of processes, each piece of jade is cleaned in as little as three to five minutes, as long as a quarter of an hour or half an hour. In the case of particularly large items, it is even more time-consuming.

Except for a few students who came to help, most of them went to work at the same time and left work at the same time.

Professor Qian was so busy with analysis and a large number of written records that he didn't have time to pay attention to them.

It was Professor Qian's deputy who arranged for them to live. And I didn't see him take a piece of paper and write down who received what kind of work.

To put it bluntly, the efficiency of work depends on everyone's conscience - do more with fast hands and feet, and do less with slow hands and feet.

No one knew that the museum staff, who were just as busy as them, would give each student a score at the end of the day's work.

Because they didn't know, for the first few days, they all tensed their nerves and were careful about what they did, for fear that such a good opportunity would be messed up by themselves.

After a long time, I will relax - first, Professor Qian can hardly see each other, and second, the work of brushing dust and copying introductory words is not too easy. So I gradually got tired.

This Sunday, the weather is good, and it is the season of spring flowers, if you don't work in the museum, everyone designates groups to go out to play. Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be a bit of excitement when it comes to work.

Ying Fang saw several classmates copying mistakes and inattention when cleaning the jade, which caused the jade to be slightly rubbed.

You know, jade is a thing that can easily break in a hit.

Although many sheep fat jade may not be able to see the cracks at the time after being hit, its internal structure is damaged, and over time, the cracks will gradually appear, which will affect the appearance and greatly reduce the collection value.

Ying Fang frowned and glanced at them, and reminded again: "Everyone be careful, don't speak when copying, if you really have anything to say, it's not too late to say it after the transcription is completed." Those who clean jade must pay attention to their hands, the value of these things is known to everyone, and there is no room for mistakes. Professor Qian has repeatedly emphasized to us that these are all handed down from our ancestors, and each one is a treasure that cannot be copied. What's more, it's not for nothing, it's paid, so please pay attention to your work. ”

The classmates in the class still listened to her as the class leader very much, and when they heard the words, they stuck out their tongues, lowered their heads and worked seriously, no longer muttering and chattering.

The three sophomores assigned to this group were not so easy to discipline, and complained with emotion: "We didn't delay the work at hand, why don't we just chat a few words about the lively atmosphere." Isn't the museum's full-time job also chatting while doing it?"

Yingfang rolled her eyes. The heart said that you are not attentive to your work, and it is reasonable to say that such a valuable thing is really going to be broken, and I can't afford to lose you if I sell it. I'm still an archaeology major, and I don't even know the most basic common sense. I'm a public unit, so I won't pick you in the future after graduation. Which unit is assigned to, which unit is bad for blood mold.

The biggest complainer is Xiao Wenyu.

She couldn't understand why the labor group composed of five freshmen and three sophomores should appoint a freshman as the leader of the group? Or did she look down on their sophomores? In her opinion, whether it was professional knowledge or practical experience, sophomores were definitely better than freshmen.

In addition, she is a native of Kyoto, and if she communicates with the official staff of the museum, it must be that the local has more advantages. What do these rural buns know? Some of them can't even speak standard Mandarin, and their mouths are full of local accents, how did Professor Qian pick people!

Xiao Wenyu rubbed the jade indignantly, glaring at Ying Fang from time to time.

At this time, the museum staff in charge of this area came over and said with a smile: "During this time, the work efficiency of the students is very high, and according to this progress, it will not be until September, August will almost be able to complete the preliminary preparations for the National Day Exhibition." Therefore, our curator discussed with Professor Qian that we would let everyone get off work in advance, which was a reward for the students, and it was hard work for everyone during this time. ”

"Oh-" the students howled excitedly when they heard this, "I can finally rest!

Xiao Wenyu glanced at Yingfang proudly, and her eyes seemed to say, "See, even the curator and professor say that, how old are you!"

Ying Fang ignored her, packed up the tools at hand, made sure that nothing was left behind, and scooped up the schoolbag and went home.

Instead of wasting time talking nonsense with unreasonable people, it is better to go home early to accompany the baby ball.

"By the way, do you have any classmates surnamed Xiao in this group?" asked the staff member halfway through walking and then turning back.

"Isn't that her? The sophomore girl who was still packing up her tools pointed at Xiao Wenyu.
