Chapter 40: The sequelae of snatching red envelopes

Meng Zhi did this completely knowing the value of these benches, so he would appreciate the texture of the sea yellow wood without cleaning the benches, but Zhang Xiaochun, who didn't know it, became angry, suppressed his anger, and said lukewarmly: "Lao Meng, what are you doing with these useless things, and you went out of your way to buy a bench?" It looks like it's a second-hand bench, and it's not too dirty, so that the floor I just mopped is dirty for you, and what are you doing with the bench on the table, what kind of mess is it for the New Year. ”

It's all old husbands and wives, and it's normal to complain a few words occasionally, if Zhang Xiaochun doesn't nag in Mengzhi's ear, it is estimated that Mengzhi will not be used to it.

Just as Zhang Xiaochun was about to throw the bench on the table into the utility room, Meng Zhi stopped Zhang Xiaochun, and Meng Zhi, who rarely lost his temper with Zhang Xiaochun, couldn't help but scold: "Zhang Xiaochun, if you dare to touch my baby, don't think about it this year." ”

This cruel sentence not only frightened Zhang Xiaochun, but even Meng Tian who had just come out was stunned, although Meng Zhi was usually very strict, but he rarely yelled at Zhang Xiaochun so angrily, could it be because of something to quarrel?

Meng Tian asked Yu You in a low voice: "What's wrong with my dad, do you know the situation?" ”

Yu You comforted Meng Tian and said, "Tiantian, don't worry, uncle is just too excited, I'll just persuade you." ”

The root of the problem is very clear to Yu You, seeing that Zhang Xiaochun was annoyed and angry, and was ready to make a big move with Meng Zhi, Yu You stopped between the two and said to Zhang Xiaochun: "Auntie, you calm down first, Uncle didn't mean to yell at you, but the bench you plan to throw away has a big background, and these five benches are worth 250,000 ......."

After Zhang Xiaochun listened to Yu You's words, he turned his anger into joy, not that Zhang Xiaochun was a fan of money, but as a salaryman, he had a salary of three or four thousand a month, and at first glance he heard that the humble bench was worth 250,000, so what else would he care about, he looked at Meng Zhi with expectant eyes, and said: "Old Meng, what you said is true?" ”

"If it's not worth 250,000 yuan, I need to make such a big fuss, come on, don't make trouble here, I'll study the texture of the yellow wood in the sea." Meng Zhi lit a cigarette and slightly pretended to be B, which made Yu You quite funny, it is no wonder that he has been in the antique world for many years, and he has always played the role of a fat sheep.

Zhang Xiaochun nodded like a chicken pecking rice, didn't bother Mengzhi's research work, pulled Yu You aside and said, "Less, what is the sea yellow wood that Lao Meng said?" Is it precious wood? ”

"Yes, the sea yellow wood in my uncle's hand is 10,000 catties of wood alone in the market, and there are about 25 catties here, so the value is not less than 250,000."

"Oh, I see, Lao Meng has been tinkering for so many years, and finally got back a serious thing, don't you know, your uncle will go to the antique street every weekend to hang out, every time he takes out some garbage and comes back, the utility room in the house is full of him, less, are these things real?" Zhang Xiaochun was still a little uneasy, and confirmed with Yu You, who knew about it, again.

Yu You said in an affirmative tone: "It's true, we all got it to Boss Ni to personally identify him, aunt, you can rest assured, you should earn back all the losses you invested in antiques before." ”

Mengzhi actually didn't invest much, occasionally to buy some hundreds of things, up to thousands, this time out of 10,000, that is because he thinks the level is good, want to make a breakthrough in the New Year, gritted his teeth and bought the so-called blue and white porcelain that claimed to be the year of Kangxi, Tuo said that it was Daoguang's year, in fact, it was just an imitation.

The water in the antique industry is very deep, and most of the people who enter the industry are slaughtered, so you need to be cautious when investing and be careful when entering the industry.

"Oh, there is the affirmation of expert Ni Development, then it is true, haha, your uncle's luck has arrived this year." Not to mention that Meng Zhi and Zhang Xiaochun changed from a tense state at the beginning to a picture of joy and joy, which made Meng Tian a little confused.

Taking advantage of the fact that Meng Zhi and Zhang Xiaochun were focusing on Hai Huangmu, Yu You pulled Meng Tian into her boudoir, Meng Tian thought about the "premarital guidance" that Zhang Xiaochun said last night, and his face couldn't help but turn red, like a ripe apple, with his head down, and the look of shyness, really made Yu You's evil fire rise, and outside the door were the mother-in-law and father-in-law, the wonderful feeling made Yu You's lust even worse, but after all, Yu You is not the kind of person who is confused when his mind is dizzy.

After suppressing it for a while, Yu You said at this time: "Tiantian, I have something to do with you, please help me draft an email, you also know that my English writing level is not very good, and my spoken language is still stuck in basic communication, so it is still too reluctant to write an English email." ”

"Write an email? Or in English, what are you going to do, and who are you going to send it to? Meng Tian understood that Yu You was planning to send an email to Bell, mainly to ask Bell to help find a familiar middle school and university in the UK, in order to let his younger siblings study abroad and plan for their future.

Meng Tian knew the content of the email, and said: "The UK's educational resources are very developed, if Bell is willing to help, your younger siblings can study abroad, which will be of great help to future development." Okay, I'll just draft one and revise it. ”

Meng Tian sat in front of the computer, writing English emails, Yu You didn't bother her, walked out of the room, suppressed Yu You, who was too hard, and didn't dare to stay in this pink-based room anymore, because the room was filled with the smell of hormones......

The next day, the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Meng Tian prepared an English email to send to Bell, and sent it out long ago, waiting for Bell's reply. On the other hand, the particularity of this season makes the atmosphere in the home unusually friendly, around 8 o'clock in the evening, Meng Tian and Zhang Xiaochun were busy preparing a big meal in the kitchen, and the two big men were chatting on the sofa and watching the annual Spring Festival party.

After a while, Monge said, "Let's go and put up the couplets and arrange them in the room, this point is the best." ”

"Okay, no problem." The two were no longer idle, they found paste and brushes, and Yu You and Meng Zhi began to paste couplets outside the door.

"Shanglian is this, right?" Yu You was a little confused about the upper and lower couplets, and after a few words, it seemed to make sense.

As a member of the older generation, Monge separated the upper and lower couplets of the traditional couplet at a glance, and said: "You take the wrong one, I am the upper couplet, and the easiest way to separate the upper and lower couplets is to look at the level of the last word." So saying, he put the upper link on the right.

"Uncle, shouldn't Shanglian be on the left?"

"This is the way modern people paste, and our couplet is a horizontal couplet, which is read from right to left, right?" Yu You listened to Meng Zhi's words, took the horizontal link and looked at it, and it was indeed read from right to left.

Monge explained: "If the horizontal link is from right to left, the upper link should be on the right, in the past, the couplet was pasted like this, but now, most of the upper couplets are pasted on the left, in fact, whether you are wrong or not, there is a way to explain it." ”

Yu You suddenly realized, no wonder you don't need to look at the upper and lower couplets now, just paste them at will, anyway, there are modern and ancient explanations of pasting.

The two were pasting couplets, and the neighbors across the door were also pasting couplets, and Monge, knowing the family, stepped forward to say hello and said a few auspicious words.

"Lao Meng, you are really lucky, there is such a good son-in-law, you see that the children of our family are playing with their mobile phones in front of the TV, without saying a word, really, all year round, I finally came back, and I am looking at my mobile phone, what is this called!" This neighbor, probably the same year as Monji, didn't know what kind of work he did, Yu You saw the juniors sitting in the hall from outside the door, all of them were about twenty years old, and they probably also worked outside.

Monge was relieved: "Young people have the way young people communicate, they play with their mobile phones, and they are all back anyway." ”

"That's right, it's just that these young people don't understand the minds of us old people, and what about coming back, holding their mobile phones every day and not knowing what to do." As soon as the neighbor's uncle finished speaking, Yu You stepped forward to say a few polite words, and heard the excited voice of a young man coming from inside the door.

"Sister, I grabbed the red envelope, haha, 5.8 yuan! I'm getting rich today, I'm going to make a circle of friends, show off, and I can buy a few packs of spicy strips today. The words of the young man made Yu You speechless, a red envelope of 5.8! I guess I grabbed it when I was watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Let's not talk about whether this 5.8 can be used, even if you rob a few hundred, what if you finally come back and get together with your relatives to get this, it really makes the elders have a hard time.

"This is the sequelae of grabbing red envelopes, snubbing relatives!" Yu You secretly commented on himself, Meng Zhi saw the neighbor smiling bitterly, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only go with him, paste the couplet, and Meng Zhi and Yu You also had to decorate the living room to make the house more flavorful.

When Zhang Xiaochun came out, he heard who Meng Zhi seemed to be talking to, so he asked, "Lao Meng, who are you talking to outside?" ”

"Lao Jiang on the other side, his son is grabbing red envelopes, he has been shaking his mobile phone, and he hasn't talked to them, so he has some complaints."

"Grab a red envelope? What is this? Zhang Xiaochun was puzzled, now young people playing with mobile phones is a common phenomenon, Zhang Xiaochun also saw many nurses in the hospital bowing their heads to play with their mobile phones and neglecting their work, so as the director, she also suggested to her superiors that doctors and nurses who played with mobile phones should deduct hundreds of yuan, which curbed this trend.

Yu You pointed to the TV and said, "It's the new red envelope grabbing activity of the Spring Festival Gala!" ”

"What are you doing with so many famous halls, it's a good Spring Festival, everyone is going to grab red envelopes, who chats with the old man!" Zhang Xiaochun puffed up a sentence, glad that his daughter and prospective son-in-law did not join the army of red envelopes, Meng Tian was busy preparing his own specialty dishes, Yu You and Meng Zhi were decorating the living room and room, and the family was happy.
