Chapter 177: No Years in the Mountains (Text)
In this way, before they knew it, a month passed quickly, and the entire valley was turned over several times, and some places were dug to a depth of about ten meters, but there was still no gain, and everyone was dying.
When the prince came to the door, it was considered a formal apology, and the two parties also handled the matter according to the agreement.
"Boy, good kung fu! Find me for tea when you're free! After finishing the business, the prince left a word for Kong Si before leaving. He really admires this guy's martial arts, Taibao is still lying down, he thinks that he is not a level, and he simply saves the clichés of learning.
Because of the appointment in advance, during this time, the second aunt's family has also moved everything one after another, and as for the new plot, the procedures have been approved, and it is being leveled, so I will move back to the village to live for a while.
When Wu Chen saw this, he also took Kong Si back to his house, and stayed for two more days, and Kong Si went back to Guangfu.
Wu Chen was left alone at home and continued to get moldy.
There is no time in the mountains, Wu Chen has been in his hometown for a while, although he occasionally socialized with County Magistrate Tu and Hong Tianxi in the middle, but most of the time, he still stayed in the mountain village, which made his father a little unbearable, this is not old, but like a pensioner!
Fortunately, his uncle helped him out of the siege and said that his nephew was "free"! Haven't you watched the TV show, those who resign have to go back to their hometowns! Zeng Wenzhenggong also raised the eldest at home for a while!
Wu Chen rolled his eyes when he heard this, fortunately, his mother didn't know what he was talking about, otherwise he was afraid that he would have to slap his brother with a big mouth, is there such a metaphor, Wen Zhenggong is a dead old lady, so he went home!
On this day, I received a call from Daya, and I heard him say that the store had been completed, and that guy Kong Si was busy distributing goods all day long, dragging the army around, and he didn't know what kind of dirty things he got from in the corners, those things, without the need for experts, even he could see that they were new things.
Wu Chen heard that they were so busy, but he was hiding alone in his hometown, and he was a little reluctant to go, so he asked Da Ya what he was doing, and Da Ya said proudly on the phone, didn't he want to see the store, he was lying on the chair drinking tea, if there were two girls next to him, pinching his feet and beating his legs or something, it would be perfect!
You're beautiful! Wu Chen scolded, the guilt in his heart suddenly disappeared, he knew that this guy would not treat him badly, and this life was more nourishing than himself.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Chen went out for a turn, since the last heavy rain, it has not rained for a long time, the stream behind the village has gradually dried up, and the original stream bed is full of wild grass.
In a natural village like theirs, the younger generation is studying, working, almost all of them are gone, the four seas are home, and they have taken root, and many times, their hometown has become a kind of longing and dependence, and when they are fragile or unbearable, they think about their hometown and find comfort and strength from it.
These days, as soon as Wu Chen is free, he takes the turtle guy on the old bridge, sitting alone, watching the buffalo grazing under the bridge in a daze, sometimes pulling the erhu, and occasionally the old cow will respond to a few sounds, attracting the roar of the earth dog, which scares the old turtle! This guy ran out of the gang last time by himself, and let a few dogs turn over, tossing enough, but fortunately, his limbs and head contracted in time, so he was not injured.
The turtle guy has completely adapted to home life during this time, usually lying on the threshold, stretching his limbs to bask in the sun, and when he heard Wu Chen's call, he got up slowly, and followed Wu Chen out of the way.
When Wu Chen was in a daze or pulling the erhu, it went into the water by itself, and he didn't know what to do. At first, after a while, he would probe out of the water to see if Wu Chen was gone. Later, he had to wait for Wu Chen to call it or look at the bridge pier with a stone before he climbed up slowly.
This day passed freely, and it was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, it was October, and I received a call from Liu Lao in the middle.
Liu Lao said with a smile on the phone that he brought the bronze figure to the capital, and after the identification, it had been confirmed that it was Song Tiansheng's acupuncture bronze figure, and he was going to buy it and donate it to the Palace Museum, and asked Wu Chen's opinion.
Wu Chen naturally has no opinion, although he loves to collect, but now he has no financial resources to collect these national treasures, and miscellaneous items are not his favorite. As for the price, Liu Lao didn't mention it, he didn't ask, the old man looked at it, and gave it.
Soon, Wu Chen received a text message on his mobile phone, and there were 30 million more in the account, knowing that Liu Lao called him, if it was a "reward" given by the Forbidden City, he was afraid that it would be a consolation prize, so he called and thanked Liu Lao.
Hearing Liu Lao say on the phone that national treasures are priceless, he is actually not easy to value, as long as Wu Chen is not too little, Wu Chen hurriedly said that this price has exceeded his expectations.
Liu Lao said with a smile, it is not easy for young people, and if there is anything in the future, just tell him directly.
Wu Chen didn't have Liu Lao's phone number before, people like them generally don't leave a phone, and most of the external calls have been taken over by assistants or secretaries, but just now he called back, and the person who answered the phone was indeed Liu Lao himself, and he knew that he had entered Liu Lao's eyes, and this phone should be Liu Lao's personal phone, so he said yes in a stack.
……
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the turtle guy was a little lazy, except for basking in the sun, he hid in the nest made of cardboard boxes and rags by Wu's mother to sleep.
Wu Chen was also a little lonely, he kept talking to the outside every day, and suddenly wanted to go out of his activities.
On this day, he just finished talking to Huang Xiaolin, hiding in the room and whispering, was seen by his mother, and naturally chased and asked if it was the girl last time, and when he heard him say yes, he urged him to hurry back to Guangfu, don't stay at home all day, this daughter-in-law can come to the door by herself?
Wu Chen saw that the more his mother talked, the more excited he became, and he almost used a broom to drive people away, so he hurriedly escaped from the house. I was bored walking around the village road, thinking if I was a little too inactive? Although I call Huang Xiaolin every once in a while, I won't find a time to go up to her, and Lin Zhen, there are fewer calls during this time!
When he was feeling sorry for himself, he received a call from Xu Shaodong, asking him if he was in his hometown, saying that at the end of October, there was a public market in Yangmei, and he and a friend who was doing this business wanted to come, and asked him to go together if he was free.
Wu Chen only responded, their hometown is in the easternmost part of the Chaoshan area, and it is connected to Funan, while Yangmei is in the west of the Chaoshan area, which is almost on the median line between his hometown and Guangfu, and the distance is not close.
However, Wu Chen has rested enough at home during this time, and it is not good to be idle like this, not to mention that his mother is always nagging about starting a family and starting a business, and she is thinking about going out for a walk.
Last time in Pingzhou, I could only play soy sauce once, and I didn't see the most public market, but I didn't want to miss it again this time.
He is no stranger to Yangmei, he has done economic analysis before, but it is limited to information, and has not been to the field, only to know that Lu Dao is the same as Pingdong Village in Pingzhou, every family chases jade or operates jade, and the scale is larger than Pingdong Village, the village has more than 400 large and small jadeite processing and trade, equivalent to nearly eighty percent of the total number of 550 households in the village, and more than 1,500 people specializing in jadeite processing and trade, with more than 3,000 sets of advanced processing and production equipment such as large-scale chain-sawed jade machine, medium-sized clamping and polishing machine, and small engraving machine.
Since 2000, the production and sales of jadeite in Yangmei Village have surpassed that of Hong Kong, and the quality and processing grade of jadeite are getting higher and higher, and it has become a famous high-grade jadeite distribution center in the world, and it is also the largest customer of Myanmar, the main high-quality jade production area in the world, and more than 70% of the jade materials in Myanmar are sold to Yangmei.
Thousands of merchants from the United States, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and other countries and regions, as well as Tuchuan, Beijing, Guangfu, Liaoning and other places, gathered in the village to engage in jade design, processing trade and other businesses.
This has also led to Yangmei becoming the second-hand jade market in Myanmar, but the scale is larger than that of Pingzhou and other places, but non-industry insiders have rarely heard of it.
When he returned home, he didn't tell his mother in detail, but only said that he would listen to her old man's order, and he was going back to Guangfu, and as for the old turtle, it had already entered the rhythm of hibernation, so he kept it at home.
After a simple tidying up, Wu Chen drove Gio to the mountain, checked in at the agreed hotel first, called Daya, and wanted him to come over, but the goods squeaked in the mobile phone for a long time before he explained that he had asked Xu Qian to go to Yangshuo to play!
"Fast enough!" Wu Chen was surprised, when did this guy hook up, he didn't show any rumors, and even Lin Zhen didn't mention it, he couldn't help but tease.
"That's it! Don't look at who the buddies are! Big Tooth said triumphantly on the phone, "Where is it like a certain piece of wood, I have been greeting for so many years, and I haven't even touched a hand." ”
"you!" Wu Chen scolded with a smile, hung up the phone, and suddenly missed Lin Zhen while lying on the bed, called her again, chatted for a while, listened to Lin Zhen's voice, and hooked up the fire in Wu Chen's heart.
When he was woken up by Xu Shaodong's phone, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, Wu Chen got up and hurriedly washed his face, and went downstairs to see Xu Shaodong sitting in the lobby chatting with another man in his early thirties.
"Come, wood, get acquainted, this is Brother Zhao, his big name is Zhao Tianye." Xu Shaodong briefly introduced to them, that Zhao Tianye has done a lot of business, and also does jade business, this time it is mainly him who came to participate in the public market, and Xu Shaodong also came to see the excitement.
"Brother Zhao, hello!" Wu Chen stepped forward and shook hands with Zhao Tianye, he saw that Zhao Tianye was burly and upright, with an extraordinary temperament, and then looked at Xu Shaodong's familiarity with talking to him, he should also come out of a big family.
"Hehe, I also shouted to Xu Er about your wood." Zhao Tianye shook hands with Wu Chen very enthusiastically, he is more than ten years older than Xu Shaodong, and he is higher than Xu Shaodong in the Sijiu City Circle, although the Wang family is not as deep-rooted as the Xu family, and has been at the top level for hundreds of years, but he is bold and has made a name for himself, and Xu Shaodong still follows him when he is bare-assed, so he is not polite at all.
