Chapter 145: Sudden news

"Taiyi Pavilion!what?" After repeating a sentence, Liu Dong reacted suddenly, and immediately stood up from his seat with a shocked face.

At the moment, he didn't bother to go up to help the round stool on the ground that he touched, stared straight at Uncle Long's old face, and asked urgently, "Uncle Long, what you just said is true?"

The sound was so loud that even Li Yuncong and Zhou Bin, who were admiring the jade in the study, and Li Lao in the bedroom, were attracted to it.

"Xiaodong, what were you doing in a surprise just now?" asked Li Yuncong standing in the study.

"It's okay, it's up to you!" Uncle Long first said in a loud voice before waving his hand to signal Liu Dong to sit down, "Tell you something, why are you so loud, my old man was so scared that he almost had a heart attack just now!"

But Liu Dong, who had just heard this amazing news and was anxious, how could he sit down now.

"Uncle Long, you were joking just now, weren't you?"

In the past three years, Liu Dong has worked hard alone in the unaccompanied Quancheng City, and the only person he has met who really cares about him is Uncle Long.

If he hadn't helped him and really brought him into the door of carving, then there would be no Liu Dong today. Maybe he had already come to the big city with his fellow villagers, and after encountering walls everywhere in the city, he returned to the ravine of his hometown in a gray way, and lived a hard life facing the loess and facing the sky.

Therefore, for Uncle Long, Liu Dong has always regarded him as his own grandfather in his heart, and his feelings are very deep.

"You sit down first and listen to me slowly!"

Looking at the sincere expression on Liu Dong's face, Long Lao felt that he had indeed not seen the wrong person in the past few years, and he was very relieved in his heart, and the thoughts in his heart became more and more firm.

"Do you hear me when you sit down?"

Seeing that the old man's face was already angry, Liu Dong didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and hurriedly reached out to help up the stool that fell to the ground and sat down. However, the concerned and anxious look on his face did not diminish in the slightest.

Seeing his appearance, Old Man Long nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Xiaodong, remember what I told you before, I have a son abroad, right?"

After listening to Uncle Long's words, Liu Dong nodded, although he didn't know much about Uncle Long's family situation, he also heard some from Mu Gang's mouth.

"What about your Uncle Long, my wife disappeared when there was a famine in 60 years, so he left such a son, and then he went abroad to go to school, and he has been staying abroad, because of the long distance, coupled with the inconvenience of work, only during the New Year's holidays can come back to see me. ”

"I don't think he will come back if he doesn't come back, anyway, I can take care of myself, I have money myself, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and I can live a leisurely life. ”

"But as the days go by, and as the years get older, the bones of this body become less and less than before!" Speaking of this, Uncle Long sighed softly, with the sadness of a hero's twilight on his face.

"And this man is old, and all the ambitions he had before are gone. The old man waved his hand, as if to say goodbye to his past, "Just thinking about a house full of children and grandchildren, Cheng Huan's knees!"

"So, a few years ago, I already had the idea of transferring Taiyi Pavilion! But there have been no very good candidates until you appear!" Saying this, Uncle Long patted Liu Dong's arm with a look of approval.

"Originally, I thought that I would train you for at least six or seven years before you could achieve your wood carving skills and finally take over the foundation of Taiyi Pavilion from me. But what I didn't expect is that your kid's talent in carving is so high, only two or three years of hard work, and it is also a case of taking into account the two superb skills of jade carving and wood carving, and you have the current level. Especially recently, your carving skills have made a qualitative leap. Although, with your current level, you can't be regarded as the top in China, but how can you be regarded as a 'pseudo-master'!" said Uncle Long made a little joke here.

"Xiaodong, your current carving skills are enough to support the signboard of 'Taiyi Pavilion', and I am relieved to hand it over to you!" the old man finally concluded.

"Uncle Long, I'm still far behind you when I'm older, I still have a lot to learn from you......!"

With a wave of his hand, Long Lao interrupted what Liu Dong was about to say with a smile, "Xiaodong, you don't have to be presumptuous, in fact, if you really want to talk about wood carving skills now, you have actually surpassed me." ”

Mr. Long's best skill is actually the family tradition of making classical furniture, rather than making wood carving. This Liu Dong knows, but what he wants is how to keep the old man.

"Okay, Xiaodong, don't persuade anymore! You young people don't understand our old man's thoughts!" At this time, Li Lao had already walked over with two bottles of wine in his hand.

"Old ...... Li!"

After waving his hand, Old Man Li looked at his old friend who had been friends for decades and asked, "Old Dragon, you have really decided!"

"Well, it's decided! Now that I'm older, I've put down everything! I just want to spend a few days with my children and grandchildren around my knees, and then I'll kick my legs and go down to see Xiaolian. Speaking of death, the old man did not have the slightest fear on his face, and always maintained an indifferent expression.

"Yes, we are all this age, what else can't we let go!" Obviously, Long Lao's words also evoked the past in Old Man Li's heart.

"Lao Li, I didn't say you, it wasn't all Biyun's fault at the beginning, your stubborn temperament was also the main reason. Moreover, so many years have passed now, the children are all older, and you now have more than ten grandchildren, you should go back and apologize to Biyun, how good it will be for the family to live in harmony with Meimei, it is better than you staying here alone!"

Listening to Elder Long's words, Elder Li couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, "Old Long, you said that we have been separated for so many years, can Xiaoyun still forgive me?"

"What's so unforgivable about this? Isn't it all said in the old saying? There is no overnight feud between husband and wife, if she really didn't forgive you, she would have divorced you a long time ago, and then you have to wait until now!" After a pause, Long Lao looked at Li Lao with some hatred and said: "Besides, you are a big man, is it so difficult to put down your face and admit your mistake to your wife?

After listening to Long Lao's words, Old Man Li was silent for a moment, then slapped his thigh suddenly, and suddenly said loudly: "Damn, Lao Tzu is out of the way! Don't lose this old face, but also take down the mountain of Xiaoyun again!"

Liu Dong was a little stunned and looked at the old man Li who was now excited, and now he and the gentle and elegant antique shop owner before were simply sentenced to two people. Now Li Lao is more like a general who has been in a hundred battles, and he has a reckless spirit.

"Haha, is that right?" Seeing Old Li's statement, Old Man Long couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Then what can I do with this antique shop, it has been open for so many years, if it is closed now, I am reluctant!"

"It's not simple, isn't there a ready-made candidate now?" said Long Lao angrily at Liu Dong.

Seeing that the eyes of the two of them were aimed at his body at the same time, Liu Dong hurriedly shook his hand, "Uncle Long, I'm still too young to do carving, but I'm too far behind in antique appraisal now......!"

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Lao, "Xiaodong, let's tell you the truth." In fact, like Lao Long, the antique shop has been facing the problem of no successor over the years. After a pause, "The juniors in the family are soldiers, and they are in politics, and none of them are interested in the things passed down by their ancestors, and if they really want to pass on this inheritance to them, I am afraid that the Agarwood Pavilion will not be far from decay." ”
