Chapter 521: Father is more valuable than son

Pressure is motivation.

Lang Qing has been busy in the watch workshop for more than a month, and it is said that he has to fight every day, so that Li Kuan was afraid that he would die suddenly, so he was forced to give him three days off.

Haste makes waste.

There was no way, Li Kuan gave the order, and Lang Qing had no choice but to rest.

Taking this opportunity, he also returned to his home in Yonghefang.

Send the Buddha to the west, and good people do it to the end.

Langqing is now a benchmark set by Li Kuan, so Xu Jingzong specially arranged a carriage with various things prepared on it, which can definitely let the Lang family have a sumptuous Lantern Festival.

"Lang Ming, I heard that the big Ben clock on the Demen was invented by a person named Lang Qing, is it the Lang Qing of your family?"

"It can't be a duplicate name, right? That Langqing is said to have received a reward of 10,000 yuan, and now it is very famous in Guanshishan Academy. ”

"Yes, if I have 10,000 yuan, no, even if it's only 1,000 yuan, then I won't live in Yonghefang."

"I heard that after your family Langqing was sent to Guanshishan Academy to study, he didn't come back a few times a year, and now he hasn't even come back for the New Year, this son won't raise it for others, right?"

"Lang Ming, I heard the butcher at the intersection say that your family has never bought meat since then, except for buying half a catty of lean meat on the day of the New Year, you are too saving, right?"

During the Lantern Festival, all workshops are on holiday.

Although it was only ten o'clock in the morning, the neighbors of Yonghefang were sitting in twos and threes at the door of the house, bragging and chatting there.

Originally, Langming's sense of existence has never been strong, and everyone rarely uses him as a topic of conversation.

However, some time ago, there was a news out of nowhere, saying that the Big Ben on Demen was invented by Lang Qing, and now the neighbors' interest in Lang Ming has become much greater.

The surname Lang is not a big surname.

There shouldn't be many duplicate names.

In addition, it is a matter of everyone that Lang Ming's son goes to school at Guanshishan Academy, so it is no wonder that the neighbors in Yonghe Fang have become gossipy.

"Everyone, don't laugh, this Langqing may just have the same name as my son."

The loyal, honest and simple Lang Qing sat in the crowd a little unrenoly, and he didn't believe that this Lang Qing was his own Lang Qing.

In fact, at first, he also thought that this Lang Qing must be his son.

But he didn't even come back for the Chinese New Year, and Langming's confidence began to be less sufficient.

In the past, Lang Qing didn't like the New Year, because other people's children had good food and beautiful clothes to wear during the New Year, but he didn't have any.

Now that there are 10,000 rewards, there is no shortage of these things.

"I think it's also the same name, otherwise I wouldn't have gone home for the New Year."

"Hehe, it's not because I'm afraid of too much money, let's borrow money."

"It's possible, maybe people have already bought yards in the places where those rich and noble families live in Changxingfang, and are waiting to move."

Seeing Lang Qing talk like this, the neighbors continued to tease.

In fact, they don't necessarily have any bad intentions, just a little envy and jealousy.

However, honest people are also a little angry.

Originally, because Lang Qing didn't go home for the New Year, Lang Ming, who was very comfortable in his heart from time to time, heard these words, and immediately raised his voice and said: "Is it interesting for you to chew your tongue like this all day long?" ”

After Lang Ming said this, the anger he had just mentioned immediately couldn't be released.

An honest man has never blushed with anyone, but he can't even say anything scolding.

"Yo, our master Lang will be different after he has a powerful son, and everyone knows to yell at us."

"Langming, you won't walk on the road as if you don't know us, right?"

"It's just a duplicate name, what are you angry about?"

Many people have never been yelled at by Lang Ming in their lives, and they feel very unhappy when they are suddenly yelled at now.

Lang Ming was scolded by several neighbors and couldn't get off the stage, and he couldn't stand or sit there with a red face.

"Hey, how can such a luxurious four-wheeled carriage come in our little alley?"

Soon, everyone's attention shifted.

Because at this time, at the exit of the alley, a four-wheeled carriage was slowly driving in.

Although four-wheeled carriages are not a rare object in Chang'an City, they can even be seen all over the streets.

But there has never been a luxury four-wheeled carriage like this in front of me, which has never appeared in a small alley in Yonghefang.

Don't look at these people are all house-owning families in Chang'an City, but there are not many people in the family who can get the same money.

A luxury four-wheeled carriage like this, which is worth hundreds of yuan, is even more than they can imagine.

It's like a Rolls-Royce Phantom in the slums of later generations, and everyone's attention naturally shifts to this car.

"It's weird, it can't be lost, right? How do you still go inside. ”

"This carriage has the logo of Guanshishan Academy, it seems to be the carriage of Guanshishan Academy."

Although none of these neighbors could afford such a luxury carriage, it did not prevent them from mastering some knowledge.

This is similar to when everyone talked about luxury cars in later generations, they all talked about the head of the road, as if there were several Ferraris in the family.

It's human nature.

"Hey, the carriage didn't turn away, it came to us."

"It's slowing down, it's not going to be ...... It's not going to be looking for Langming, is it? ”

In the alley, Langming's family can be related to Guanshishan Academy, so it's no wonder that everyone thinks so.

"Aye!"

With the sound of the coachman stopping the horses, Lang Qing lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw his father sitting at the door of his small yard.

"Da Lang, you ...... Why did you come back in a carriage? ”

Lang Ming saw his son who he hadn't seen for a long time, and he actually appeared in front of him like this, a little unaccustomed.

"Today is the Lantern Festival, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu didn't let me continue to work in the workshop, so I asked Xu to join the army and arrange a carriage to send me home. There's a lot of stuff on the carriage. ”

Lang Qing jumped out of the carriage, and then saw the familiar neighbors around him and said hello.

"Lang Dalang, this is developed."

"You were actually able to meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu?"

"I heard that the Big Ben of Mingdemen was invented by you?"

"Is it true that the "Datang Daily" said that the students of Guanshishan Academy who invented Big Ben received a reward of 10,000 yuan?"

As soon as Lang Qing got out of the carriage, the neighbors asked in a gossipy manner.

"Uncles laughed, that Big Ben was made by me under the guidance of His Royal Highness the King of Chu and with the help of other students and craftsmen, and it is not my credit alone. As for the reward, in fact, the statement is not very accurate, it is just a dividend that His Royal Highness the King of Chu asked him to pay in advance. ”

Although the neighbors are not good people, they are not bad people either.

Langqing grew up here, so he naturally knows the temperament of these people.

Today they quarrel, and tomorrow the two families will quarrel over the need for a foot into the wall.

However, if you really encounter someone in trouble, they have the money to contribute and make a strong contribution.

"So, you're really a wealthy person, right?"

When Lang Qing heard this, he didn't make a sound, and smiled on his face, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

However, this frightened Lang Ming.

10,000 times.

This...... How does this money feel like it fell from the sky?

Ordinary people, if they suddenly have dozens or even hundreds of dollars, they will definitely be happy.

But if you suddenly have an extra 10,000 yuan, it's more of a worry.

There is not much joy.

Even in the Hereafter, it will be about the same.

If you win the five million prize, you will definitely be laughing and not sleeping.

But if you win a prize of 100 million, you will be nervous and unable to sleep that night.

"There is a slaughtered sheep and half a pig in this carriage, Aye, you can call everyone to help share it."

Lang Qing's words can be regarded as pulling Lang Ming back to reality.

The driver who drove the car should have also been instructed by Xu Jingzong to take the initiative to help move things out of the carriage.

Needless to say, mutton and pork.

There are also a few bags of rice and flour, as well as a lot of woad and laiphane, and even several jars of two pot heads and burning knives.

As for some bits and pieces, not to mention.

"Ouch, this big man seems to be really developed."

"It's still a sensible man, my family just bought a new kitchen knife, which is just used to divide meat."

"I moved the useless door panel from the house, just in time for meat."

"I'll go and carry the water, just in time for a wash."

Looking at a sheep and most of the pork in front of them, the neighbors immediately got busy.

Although everyone is not very short of oil and water in their stomachs after the New Year, how many of the people in this year will dislike eating too much meat?

What's more, it's still this kind of meat that obviously doesn't cost money.

"Da Lang, come here."

Unlike the happy expressions of the neighbors, Lang Ming pulled Lang Qing aside with a little worry.

"Ayer, what's wrong?"

"Are the rumors out there true?"

"What rumors?"

"That's the 10,000 thing?"

"Aye, it's not a rumor, it's true. Now I am the director of the Clock Research Institute of Guanshishan Academy, and I have dozens of people working below, and I have a separate residence in the academy. Aye, you don't have to work so hard anymore. ”

Lang Qing looked at his father with a little emotion.

Due to A-Niang's illness and death at an early age, Ayana really worked hard to raise herself and her two younger siblings.

Even because of his own drag, he has always been alone.

Don't look at it now, it's not even forty years old, but it looks old, which is sad.

"This ...... This ......"

Hearing Lang Qing's words, Lang Ming was a little at a loss.

Although I am looking forward to living a good life one day, this good day is a bit different from what I imagined.

"What about the second brother and the third mother?"

Lang Qing looked at it, but he didn't find his brother and sister, so he couldn't help but ask.

"There is a temple fair today, and they went out to visit the temple fair early in the morning."

……

There is great strength in numbers, and this is not a cover.

Just as Lang Ming and Lang Qing were talking on the side, all the things in the carriage had been moved into the courtyard of Lang's house.

The yard, which was already small, was crowded with more than a dozen neighbors and a bunch of things, and it immediately became crowded.

"Lang Min, how to cut this meat, you say it, I promise to give you a proper share."

A neighbor who had studied with butchers for some time in his early years, carrying a knife in his hand and smiling as much as he could.

"Ayah, if not, let's keep one leg of this mutton, a few ribs for pork, a few lean meat and fat, and divide the rest equally among the neighbors."

Lang Qing saw the eyes in his eyes that Aya looked at him, and immediately made a decision.

Originally, everything in the family was decided by his own Aye.

Now, however, it is clear that something is going to change.

Although the weather is cold now, these beef and mutton are actually placed under the eaves, like being placed in a natural refrigerator, and they will never be bad within three to five days.

However, Lang Qing is also a wealthy person, so he naturally doesn't care about this bit of beef and mutton.

"Are they all divided?"

Lang Ming struggled for a moment, but quickly figured it out.

His son is now out of business.

In the future, the family will no longer have to worry about a few catties of meat and entanglement.

I don't want to move so soon in the future, and if I don't give some benefits to my neighbors, I don't know how these people will talk behind their backs in the future.

"Then do as you say."

When Lang Ming said this, he suddenly felt that the temperament of the whole person was different.

The previous weak appearance of Nono is completely gone, but there is a high-spirited appearance.

Lang family, there is green smoke on the ancestral grave.

"Let's just do this, today's Lantern Festival, pick up and pick up for a while, make a few tables, and invite the neighbors to eat at noon."

Lang Qing also wanted to make his Aya more comfortable here in the future, so it was better to simply give some small favors to the neighbors.

As for buying a house elsewhere, he didn't think about it that much for the time being.

Now all he's thinking about is how to make the table clock smaller, more accurate, and more productive.

"Yo, it's so lively at home."

It didn't take long for a matchmaker who got the news to come to the door.

In the past, Lang Ming actually didn't think about marrying another one at all, but no one looked down on him at all, and this back and forth extinguished this thought.

Now it is a bit surprising to see the most famous Wang Po in Yonghefang appear at her doorstep.

"Lady Wang, why are you here? Then let's come in and sit down. ”

Soon there were neighbors to help greet him.

The Lang family is developed.

This is something that everyone is already aware of.

According to the understanding of the neighbors, after the development, it is naturally impossible for Langming to continue to live alone.

"Lang Ming, let me tell you, the golden widow at the gate of the fang, you should know, right? That figure, that look, we definitely don't have to pick in Yonghefang, what do you think? ”

Wang Po felt that she had to strike while the iron was hot, and if she let the others take the lead, she would be busy in vain.

These matchmakers have the most sensitive sense of smell, and they all know quickly what the situation is and what changes are in the Yonghe Fang.

When everyone first heard Lang Qing's rumors before, she came to Lang Ming's house.

However, this rumor has not been confirmed, and slowly everyone thinks it is really just a rumor.

Today, I suddenly heard that Lang Qing was back, and Wang Po immediately re-entered the door.

With her eyes of countless people, she immediately knew that the Lang family was developed.

"This ...... We'll talk about that later. ”

Lang Ming's face turned red, and he secretly glanced at his son, a little embarrassed.

The golden widow, he naturally likes it.

However, he still has to consider his son's opinion after all.

"Aya, you've worked hard for most of your life, and it's time to find someone to accompany you. If you think it's appropriate, you can talk to Wang Po more, and don't worry about the opinions of our brothers and sisters. ”

Lang Qing smiled and expressed his thoughts.

It is said that the mother is expensive by the son, and it is not impossible for the Lang family to have a father and the son to be expensive.
