***********

When the People's Republic of China was just founded, Uncle Fang's parents gave up their family property in Southeast Asia and returned to China to build the motherland.

Uncle Fang's background, of course, was directly swept into the Black Five Category, and in the end, he was sent to the countryside for labor reform with his grandfather, who was criticized together.

How could Uncle Fang, who was born as a young master, endure such suffering, if he hadn't had the protection of his grandfather back then, I'm afraid Uncle Fang would have chosen to commit suicide by hanging himself like his parents.

Later, Uncle Fang and his grandfather became a teacher and friend, and learned a lot of antique appraisal skills from his grandfather, and then a few years after the change, Uncle Fang's relatives overseas found China, and then brought Uncle Fang abroad.

And because of the movement, Fang Bo was also delayed, so he never married, and later came to the United States, where he opened an antique shop in Flushing and took root.

It was the relationship between him and his grandfather who was also a teacher and friend that made Uncle Fang take good care of Jin Muchen, so Jin Muchen was not worried that Uncle Fang would lie to him.

When Jin Muchen pushed open the door of Fang Bo's antique shop, Fang Bo had just come back from shopping for groceries, and when he saw Jin Muchen who had entered the store, Fang Bo was stunned.

Fang Bo is now single, although he is only in his fifties, his hair has turned gray, his figure is not tall, and he can still see the traces of the hardships he suffered on his face, but his spirit looks very good.

"You kid, the sun is rising in the west? Why did you remember to come to see me today, an old man? ”

Uncle Fang's tone was a little disgusted, obviously blaming Jin Muchen, who hadn't come to see him for so long, Jin Muchen was also very guilty in his heart.

"Huh! I'm really sorry Uncle Fang, I ...... some time ago"

"Hey! I know, are you young people busy, I just said casually, don't take it to heart. ”

Uncle Fang's empathy made Jin Muchen feel even more guilty.

He admitted that when he first arrived in New York, he lived in a family hotel designated by the school, and not long after that, he moved out of the family hotel designated by the school, and lived here for a few months, and Fang Bo never confiscated his rent.

It was here that he completed his one-year preparatory course and was admitted to Columbia University, where he met Malin.

However, Uncle Fang didn't like Ma Ling very much, and he was confused by Ma Ling's beauty, so after he and Ma Ling officially became boyfriend and girlfriend, he made an excuse, saying that Columbia was too far away from Flushing, and moved out of Uncle Fang's house because of the need to go to school.

Ma Ling is also a very smart girl, and she has long noticed that Uncle Fang doesn't like her, it was under Ma Ling's prodding that he came back to see Uncle Fang less and less, and now thinking about his previous self, he was really a bastard.

So just now he really couldn't find an excuse to explain his previous behavior, but fortunately, Uncle Fang didn't mind at all.

"What time is it, I happen to be a little hungry, let's go out to eat and talk about it when we come back."

Although Uncle Fang's face was very strict, his eyes were full of smiles, he himself had no children and no daughters, and Jin Muchen was the grandson of his great benefactor, and the grandson of his benefactor, who was also a teacher and friend, came to visit him today, of course he was happy.

Looking at the enthusiastic Uncle Fang, Jin Muchen also had a thousand words on his lips for a while, but he didn't know how to say it, so he could only be pulled out of the store by Uncle Fang.

Uncle Fang's antique shop is usually the best business on weekends, but now it is clear that it has not yet arrived, but Uncle Fang went to take himself out to eat, and he didn't even do business, this friendship really made him feel like a hot current, and suddenly surged into his heart.

If you want to eat Chinese food in New York, the kind of Chinese takeaway restaurants on the street are not counted, there are just two places, one is Chinatown in Manhattan, and the other is in Flushing.

However, Manhattan's Chinatown is mainly based on Cantonese cuisine and Teochew cuisine, and in recent years, it has taken some lofty routes to try to cater to the appetites of those foreigners, so Jin Muchen and Fang Bo don't like the taste there.

In the Flushing area, in recent years, with the influx of new immigrants from the mainland, restaurants from all over China have blossomed everywhere.

What Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Northeast cuisine, Little Sheep chain hot pot, and even kebabs, as long as you can imagine, here is everything.

It is very much an appetite for immigrants from other parts of Chinese mainland, and on weekends, the business of the restaurants here is generally booming.

Because it is close to New Jersey, many Chinese in New Jersey will also drag their families here on weekends to have a tooth sacrifice.

Although it was only half past ten in the morning, Jin Muchen and Fang Bolai's Little Pepper Sichuan Restaurant was already full, and the hall was full.

Fortunately, Fang Bo is an old customer here, and he said hello to the waiter, who quickly opened a small bag for them on the second floor.

didn't wait for Uncle Fang to order, what saliva chicken, boiled fish, boiled beef, these authentic Sichuan dishes were served like water.

Jin Muchen hadn't eaten such authentic Sichuan cuisine for a long time, and it was not polite to be with Uncle Fang, and the two of them feasted together.

After eating half full, he called for a few more bottles of beer, and then he began to slow down, chatting while eating, and Jin Muchen also told Uncle Fang about his recent situation.

After hearing this, Uncle Fang also comforted him a few words.

"Ma Ling, that kid, what do you say? A long time ago, I wasn't very optimistic about her, that girl, the purpose is too strong, and when she is with you, the purpose is not very pure. It's a pity you didn't listen at the time......"

Regarding the breakup of Jin Muchen and Ma Ling, although Uncle Fang's tone was very light, it could be seen that he was very happy, Jin Muchen was the grandson of an old friend, and of course he didn't want to see his benefactor's grandson on a woman.

Fortunately, these two people are divided, Jin Muchen's loss is not too big, Jin Muchen can see it clearly now, a woman who can only share happiness and can't share suffering, can't be sad for her.

"But you too, something happened at home, why didn't you say hello to me, so you went to the school to go through the suspension procedures by yourself? This delays the school, but it's a big deal! ”

It could be heard that Uncle Fang really cared about Jin Muchen, and Jin Muchen could only nod helplessly.

"Uncle Fang, I understand what you say, but who made such a sudden incident happen to my family? I can't help it, it's all like this, I can't add to the burden on the family, I'm not too old, I can't always reach out to the family to ask for money, it's time to give back to my parents. ”

After Jin Muchen finished speaking, Uncle Fang thought about it, and then said: "Well, you kid chooses to take a year off from school, so it's okay, you can also exercise and exercise by yourself, and get in touch with society, it's better than staying in school all day long, and not having contact with the outside world."

Uncle Fang also agrees with Jin Muchen's choice to take a leave of absence and make money to feed his parents, he has been in the United States for more than 20 years, and he has seen many American college students, who go to college and rely on themselves, and earn all their tuition and living expenses.

So at this time, he felt that Jin Muchen's choice was right, and young people should exercise it.

"By the way, you came to me today, what the hell is going on?"

Uncle Fang remembered the topic at this time, in fact, the arrogant Jin Muchen followed him all the way to the hotel, and he never left the small box in his hand, he felt that something was wrong with this kid.

Jin Muchen finally waited for the opportunity, smiled, and then took the small box and carefully handed it to Uncle Fang.

"Some time ago, when I was working, I had an unexpected opportunity to get it, but I'm not sure, so I want to ask Uncle Fang to help me palm my eyes."

Fang Bo smiled and took the small box, then opened it, and saw the yellow-bottomed pastel open bowl inside, and pinched the edge of the bowl with three fingers and picked it up, but his mouth was babbling.

"You kid, if you had learned more from your grandfather back then, and you learned your own skills, would you still need to ask me for advice? What's wrong? Now the brain suddenly opens up, and suddenly you start to want to play antiques? ”

In fact, Uncle Fang has also been worried about the inheritance of his antique knowledge, and now there are too few young people who are willing to learn this, he actually has a heart, and wants Jin Muchen to learn this antique knowledge with himself, but after a few previous temptations, this kid is not interested.

Now this kid, who has opened his own mind, suddenly played with antiques, he still feels quite happy.

But he suddenly paused while speaking, and then the originally somewhat playful expression suddenly became stern, originally he thought that this kid must have been deceived by someone if he received an antique unexpectedly.

After all, he is a newcomer who hasn't even entered the door, what good things can he receive? But this bowl, as soon as he got his hands on it, Fang Bo felt a little strange, not that this bowl was wrong, but that this bowl was too right.

"Well, the carcass is finely processed, the texture is delicate and light, the white is delicate, and the weight is moderate. The glaze is moist and even, smooth and white, bright and flawless. There is a small knock skin and a short thin line along the mouth of the bowl, which has been simply repaired, and there is a chicken claw pattern on the bottom, which is quite complete. The craftsmanship and style of the times are obvious, the ornamentation is vivid, the lines are smooth, and it is a good thing! It's a good thing to open the door wide! Hey, you kid, where did you get this good thing? ”

After listening to Uncle Fang's evaluation, Jin Muchen put down a big stone in his heart, and immediately became overjoyed, saying that he was picking up a leak, and he picked it up right!

As soon as he talked about antiques, Fang Bo immediately became bright, especially looking at the yellow-bottomed pastel five-clawed cloud dragon open bowl in his hand, which was actually collected by this kid who was not beginner to antiques, Fang Bo couldn't help but be even more excited and curious
