There are not many Chinese here, the residential building is nearby, Shao Ning drove into an alley, sure enough, compared to the neat and beautiful outside, this alley is still a little messy, of course, it is not so broken, it is a small building of several floors, it looks like it is some years old, there are traces of erosion everywhere outside, rain or oil smoke, compared to the outside is still too different.

"This is it." When he arrived at a courtyard, Shao Ning put out the fire and pulled the handbrake.

"Yes." An Yuxi unbuckled his seat belt, in fact, he never wore a seat belt when he was in the driver's seat, but he couldn't stop a Xiaoxian, Xiaoxianxian was too concerned about this aspect, and in the face of Xiaoxian, An Yuxi had no temper at all.

Shao Ning motioned to An Yuxi, asked him to wait for a while, and then pushed open the door without knowing at all, completely familiar with the road.

An Yuxi pushed the car door and walked down, and followed in, he didn't expect that there would be a small courtyard here, although it was very small, but it was complete, but it was a long time ago, it looked neat, and there were some flowers and plants, showing the extraordinary taste of the owner here, and he also raised a dog, the dog didn't recognize life at all, wagging his tail and licking Shao Ning's hand.

"Grandpa! I am back! Shao Ning shouted.

An Yuxi was a little puzzled, how do you feel that this product knows this family, it is still called grandpa, it is estimated that it is an acquaintance, An Yuxi didn't think much about it, as long as the technology is good, the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders.

"Xiao Ningzi!" There was a hearty laugh from the room, "You little guy is willing to come to see me!" Before I saw him, I heard a loud voice, which made An Yuxi mistakenly think that this must be a middle-aged man, but Shao Ning called him grandpa, which made An Yuxi a little puzzled.

Pushing the door out is really a gray head, but the spirit is very good An old man, saying that the old man is just a white head, in fact, he is still full of red light, he should know how to maintain health, if he dyes his hair black, he is said to be in his forties.

"What is this?" The old man asked when he saw An Yuxi, whom he didn't know.

"Grandpa, this is the patron I brought here!" Shao Ning said with a smile, "It's also my current boss." ”

"Hello old man, junior An Yuxi." An Yuxi hurriedly hugged his fist, An Yuxi met the old man when he was in San Francisco, it was to hold his fist and salute, and he had formed a habit, and now he met an old man who spoke Chinese, giving people the same feeling, An Yuxi held his fist at this time, otherwise he bowed.

"Huh? Are you Chinese? The old man also returned the salute with his fists and said in surprise.

"Yes!" An Yuxi smiled and nodded.

"What a rude old man!" The old man glared at Shao Ning, and then said politely to An Yuxi, "Guest, please come with us." Shao Ning scratched his head in embarrassment, he didn't know that An Yuxi was Chinese, didn't his information write about Korean Americans, although he knew a few words of Chinese, he seemed to be better than himself.

Entering the house and sitting down, Shao Ning went to make tea, and the old man explained to An Yuxi.

"Our store is more expensive for Koreans, but it is definitely the original price for Chinese."

"I hope you don't blame Xiao Ningzi, he is also a good intention, because Koreans don't pay much attention to jade now, and the old man hasn't opened it for a long time." Although he said so, the old man was not embarrassed at all, and he did not look embarrassed at all.

"It's okay, I haven't asked your surname yet." An Yuxi didn't care, in order to promote his own writing, the South Korean government began to implement "de-Chinese characters" from 1968, forcibly abolishing the Chinese characters used in Korean primary and secondary school textbooks, and finally led to South Korea's 2o to 4o years old people almost do not understand Chinese characters, these people are also known as the "generation of phonetic characters" in South Korea, and Hangul is inherently unsound, and there are many meanings that are expressed in one word, An Yuxi has a feeling that he can't speak.

South Koreans have also tried to do this: starting in 198o, all Chinese characters used in Korean advertising signs and road signs have been removed. As a result, the vast majority of students in colleges and universities do not even know how to write their parents' names in Chinese characters. Most middle-aged Koreans have a Korean name and a Chinese name - even they themselves cannot accurately pronounce it in Chinese. Nowadays, when you go to South Korea, only those upper-class people still have Chinese and Korean names on their business cards, and there are very few young people with Chinese names.

Why is this so? It is also because of the inflated "national pride" of a small number of Koreans. South Korea is not big, only half the size of China's SD, but some people just like to call it "Republic of Korea", and that's why. The reason for their reluctance to use Chinese characters is nothing more than an attempt to erase the history of Korea as a vassal state of China. Later, there was a lot of noise about Chinese festivals, Chinese traditions, and Chinese historical celebrities all related to Korean relations, for example, Confucius, Zhuge Liang and others are all Koreans, and the Qingming Festival is a Korean Ming...... And so on, it is the "masterpiece" of these people, and the result is that everyone is unhappy, and the people of South Korea do not approve of it.

It doesn't seem like a big deal. But how does Korea's history continue? Even the simplest things: young people in South Korea travel to Gyeongbokgung Palace and see the cultural relics recorded by their ancestors, but they don't know it as if they were reading foreign languages; The documents left over from the history of Korea can only be interpreted by a few people who specialize in Chinese - isn't this nation out of gear?

As a result, in November 1998, about 9ooo celebrities, including presidents of Korean universities, members of the National Assembly, retired senior government officials, generals, entrepreneurs, and veterans of the cultural and artistic circles, established the National Federation for the Promotion of Chinese Character Education. During the Korea-Japan World Cup, in order to attract more overseas tourists, the South Korean government also re-marked Chinese characters on road signs, and Chinese broadcasts were also re-added to the radio of trains. Now, the letter signed by the successive prime ministers and sent to the presidential palace of the Blue House may promote this matter.

But now it's still about the same, the children still don't know Chinese, which is why An Yuxi wants to teach them Chinese, wanting to get rid of the influence of Chinese culture, the lack of national culture, and the history has begun to show faults, of course, topaz's business is not good, after all, the people who buy these jade are basically middle-aged, and those who understand jade are also elderly, and now they are basically dead, and now young people are pursuing dazzling gems such as diamonds and jewelry.

"The old man's surname is Huang, and his single name is a jade character."

"Master Huang!" When An Yuxi called it like this, it felt a little awkward, Master Huang seemed to be "Huang Feihong", but the word "master" is very common in later generations, calling the driver "master", everything...

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." The old man hurriedly excused himself.

"It's okay, I didn't ask him the price at the beginning, I just wanted to make a hosta, just like this." An Yuxi took out the draft he had drawn in advance.

This is a very delicate hosta, the pattern on it must have a high micro-carving technology to carve out, it is impossible to get it without more than ten years of experience, An Yuxi also understands a little, and an old craftsman like topaz is such a candidate, with experience, skills, and will also have their own ideas.

"Did the guest bring the ingredients?" Topaz looked at it carefully for a while.

"Huh?" An Yuxi was stunned for a moment, "Do you still want to bring your own raw materials?" ”

"Shao Ning didn't tell you?" The old man's face darkened, and he said angrily, "Shao Ning, you kid come out for me!" ”

"Didn't you tell the guest to bring something?"

"I forgot, I was in a hurry, and as soon as I heard that the boss was going to carve jade, I hurriedly drove over, and I thought the boss knew." Shao Ning said embarrassedly, not as if he was fake.

"You'd better fix this bad for me! Otherwise, sooner or later you will get into trouble! Old Man Huang scolded.

"Don't blame the guests, this child has been a little careless since he was a child." After training Shao Ning, Old Man Huang immediately apologized to An Yuxi.

"It's okay, just pay attention to it later." An Yuxi shrugged his shoulders, even if he told him to ask for raw materials, he couldn't find the jade he wanted for a while, he just came with the mentality of giving it a try.

"Since the guest didn't bring jade, in order to make amends to the guest, let's use my jade." Old Man Huang pinched his beard, as if he had made up his mind.

"Grandpa!" Shao Ning seemed to know something, and hurriedly stopped.

"Shut up!" Old Man Huang glared at Shao Ning, and Shao Ning suddenly didn't dare to speak.

The old man walked to the back room, Shao Ning also followed, An Yuxi looked at the inexplicable grandfather and grandson, still confused, one surnamed Huang and the other surnamed Shao, it should be a distant relative.

"Grandpa, I'm fine, it's all my fault, the boss won't blame me, but this piece of jade, this is your heirloom!" Shao Ning saw that the old man took out the jade box from under the bed, and hurriedly stopped him.

"What are you anxious about, my dead jade is yours, it's not bad to sell it now, at least sell it to the Chinese, it's not ashamed of the ancestors, the remaining money is used to repay the loan, you can also buy a house in the city to marry a daughter-in-law, even a home is gone, and a fart home."

"Grandpa!" Hearing what his grandfather said, Shao Ning's tears fell.

"Don't be so frizzy in the future, if one day I stretch my legs and go, who will care about you? Don't count on your uncle, your aunt is unreliable, and they still want to have a son. Old Man Huang's tone also softened, he has traveled across the ocean in his life, and now he has no wife and no children, for Shao Ning, he has long been raising him as his own grandson, and he does not ask him to retire and send him to the end, just to let him have a concern when he is alive.

"Grandpa!" Shao Ning knelt down with a "poof", hugged Old Man Huang's thigh, and couldn't cry.

Old Man Huang was also in tears, touched Shao Ning's head, if he could, how could he want to sell the heirlooms that had been worn for several generations, but the most desired thing for a jade craftsman is not to use the best jade to carve the best works!

Now you can realize your dreams, Mr. Huang still remembers that when he was in his hometown, he was called "Huang Keyu" by people in the industry, you must know that among Chinese craftsmen, only those with particularly high skills will be given the corresponding nickname, and they will be passed on by word of mouth, this is word of mouth, just like TJ's "Clay Man Zhang", with high skills and a wide range of stage names.
