Chapter 160: The Tailor's Father and Son

The summer sun appeared very early, not yet six o'clock in the morning, and it was already bright outside the window. The birds that had stayed in the trees of the neighborhood last night also began to sing happily.

Soon, Ding Xiaoxuan was woken up by the sound of birds outside the window, he got up from the bed, put on his slippers and walked to the study.

Ding Yachuan didn't come out again when he entered the study last night, and he still locked himself in it until Xiao Xuan went to bed, which made Xiao Xuan very worried - did Dad sleep well last night?

Pushing open the door of the study, a strong smell of cigarettes came to his nose, choking Xiao Xuan and quickly covered his nose. However, what reassured him was that his father was not in the study. It seems that he went back to his bedroom to sleep last night.

It's just that Dad is too careless, why did he forget to turn off the computer?

Ding Xiaoxuan saw that the monitor was still there, and walked over to help his father turn it off.

"Xiao Xuan! Don't move! Ding Yachuan, who had just come out of the bathroom, saw his son fiddling with his computer there, and hurriedly called out to him.

Xiao Xuan turned around and saw that his father, who came in a hurry, had messy hair, a stubbled beard on his face, and his eyes were a little puffy, and asked, "Dad, you really didn't sleep last night?" ”

Ding Yachuan glanced at the computer, and was relieved that the information entered last night was still there. Touched Xiao Xuan's little head and said, "Why did you get up so early today?" Dad slept a lot yesterday afternoon, and he couldn't sleep at night, so he took care of some work matters. You're just in time, and there are some things that Dad wants to discuss with you. ”

The father and son came to the computer desk together and sat down, and Ding Yachuan said, "Xiao Xuan, tomorrow you will go to the province for training and competition." Originally, I was going to go with you, but this time my dad really couldn't go with you. ”

"Why? Does it have something to do with the question you asked me yesterday? Is what you said true, are you really going to be a big hero? Xiao Xuan was very smart and guessed the key at once.

Ding Yachuan smiled: "It's true that it has something to do with yesterday's events, but Dad doesn't want to be this hero." In my heart, you are the most important! ”

Seeing that the tension on his son's face gradually dissipated, Ding Yachuan continued: "But a man must know how to bear some things with his shoulders, and I can't take care of everything." So in these few days, I have to do something to give someone an explanation. ”

Hearing that this was just a short parting, Xiao Xuan slowly put his mind at ease, he patted his little chest like a little adult, "It's okay, Dad, don't worry about you, don't worry about me." Waiting at home to hear my good news! ”

"Don't be careless, when you go to the provincial capital, you have to listen to Grandpa Long's words and train hard. According to the schedule, the finals are in a week. If you can make it to the finals, Dad will still be able to cheer you on! After Ding Yachuan told Xiao Xuan, he clicked on a file on the computer, "Okay, go and ask your mother to get up and prepare breakfast for you, and Dad will be busy for a while while he is still sober." ”

Xiao Xuan leaned over curiously and saw that the computer was displaying a document called "Qingshan City's Industrial Structure Adjustment - Basketball Industry Development Direction and Suggestions". Under the title, a lot of words have been densely written. He exclaimed, "Dad, did you write all this?" So much has you already written? ”

Ding Yachuan said a little proudly, "Of course, this is the result of my father's lack of sleep last night!" ”

……

Also last night, Xiao Li, a tailor on the other side of the city, also stayed up all night. Since joining the Blue Club, everything he has experienced has been something he has never seen before and he can't even think about. He watched as Qinglan would grow stronger step by step. The speed was so fast that he couldn't keep up. It feels like everything is so unreal.

Yesterday, I accompanied several shareholders of the Qinglan Club to climb the green mountains, and heard them talk about hundreds of millions of investments, which made Li Yongzhi very distressed - this is different from what he thought before! Before, he thought that he would be satisfied if he could earn a little more interest than the bank when he came in, but who knew that these people were getting bigger and bigger, so big that he felt a little scared.

When the day finally dawned, Li Yongzhi turned over, simply packed his luggage, and prepared to leave the city for a few days of quiet.

……

Zhicheng jersey custom factory, among the many garment processing factories in Keqiao Town, is not the most conspicuous. But even so, it is the result of the continuous hard work of several generations of the Li family.

Today's Zhicheng has expanded several times in the hands of Li Yongzhi, and the factory has long been replaced with more advanced automated machines.

However, no matter how the processing equipment is replaced, no matter how the factory area is expanded, there will definitely be a small empty room here. This was prepared by Li Yongzhi for his father.

The new machine Lao Li couldn't understand it, he should have rested and recuperated for the rest of his life. But Lao Li is still an idle person, and after resting at home for a few days, he began to sigh boredly. So Xiao Li arranged a handicraft workshop for him according to the appearance of the old shop. In today's fashionable parlance, this is Lao Li's personal studio.

Li Yongzhi got out of the car and did not go home first, but came here directly.

Lao Li was wearing a pair of reading glasses at this time, bowing his head, pinching a wooden ruler and gesturing back and forth on a piece of cloth. Hearing footsteps coming in, he raised his eyes and looked over.

"Is Yongzhi back?"

Li Yongzhi didn't answer, but just nodded to his father. He walked over to a incense table against the wall and stood still. On the incense table is a pair of scissors, which are different from the usual household appearance. Its knife edge is particularly long, and at the end of the tail are two handles, one large and one small, and the large handle is tightly wrapped with silk threads, which have been worn to some fluff, and the mottled dark red shows the traces of time.

He picked up three sticks of agarwood from the side, lit them with a match, and shook his wrist twice to extinguish the flames. Holding the incense in front of his head with both hands, he bowed deeply to the scissors.

I don't know when, Lao Li had already taken off his reading glasses, walked up to him, lit three sticks of incense, and bowed deeply to the scissors. The reading glasses hanging from his chest collided with the buttons of his jacket and made an inopportune clanging sound.

The father and son looked at each other and smiled, and together they inserted the agarwood in their hands into the incense burner.

"Back then, your grandfather took this pair of scissors to the beach, and at that time he was a celebrity on the beach, and people called him 'Li Yi scissors'. Because no matter what size or shape, he can cut it out with just one pair of scissors......"

My father told this story many times when he was a child, but he never got tired of hearing it. At this time, he closed his eyes, fantasizing about his grandfather's majestic appearance in his mind, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently smiled.

“…… Alas, it's a pity that I don't have the skills and luck of him. finally cut the tunic to make a name for himself, but it suddenly became fashionable again. It's still a good time for you to catch up, you have to keep up with the times, don't follow your father's old path......"

"Why do you have to follow them!" For some reason, Li Yongzhi suddenly remembered the shareholders of the Blue Club, and interrupted his father's words a little irritably.

Lao Li was a little stunned, he was not a person who was good at words, and he didn't know how to comfort his son when he saw him like this. He silently walked back to the tailor's table and went on with his business.

Li Yongzhi took a few heavy breaths of air and began to regret the attitude just now. He followed, standing beside his father, "Daddy, what are you doing?" ”

Lao Li held his breath, compared with the wooden ruler, and drew a straight line on the fabric with scratch powder, before turning his face and grinning, and said with a smile: "What else can you do?" Make a tunic suit. As he spoke, he handed over the scissors at hand, "Come, I'll see if you have any work in your hands!" ”

Li Yongzhi skillfully picked up the scissors and pulled a flower, and smiled confidently: "Tong Zigong, how can you lose it!" ”

As soon as I cut it, the fabric was split into two pieces along the straight line that my dad had drawn.

In the following days, Li Yongzhi accompanied his father every day and cut out one set of tunics after another in this studio. Although no one wears these clothes anymore, such a simple and busy day brings Li Yongzhi great relaxation physically and mentally.

It was the sixth day.

Li Yongzhi is still the same, followed his father's ass after breakfast, and came to the studio. But today, Lao Li Tou was not in a hurry to start work, but took down the old scissors that were enshrined, and while wiping them carefully, he asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Yongzhi, I have been back for so long this time, and I don't see you have anything else." If you're here to accompany me, it's enough for a few days, so hurry back to Qingshan! ”

Li Yongzhi was stunned for a moment, and reluctantly smiled: "Dad, just let me stay here for a few more days, let me accompany you more, and then leave after a while." ”

"Is there something going on over there in Aoyama?" Daddy choked him up at a word, and he didn't know how to answer.

Lao Li finished wiping the scissors and respectfully placed them back in their original position.

"When Shanghai was so chaotic, your grandfather also encountered a lot of problems. But he didn't flinch, but used this scissors to solve all the difficulties. ”

"Dad, why did you talk about this all of a sudden......"

"Our Li family has never coaxed goods!" Lao Li turned around and yelled at Li Yongzhi! "If you encounter difficulties, you have to straighten your chest to solve them, but you can't hide in the shell like a turtle with a shrunken head!"

This was the first time Li Yongzhi had seen such a stern face from his father, he looked at his father, and then at the scissors offered on the incense table, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Let's go, I'm used to being alone, and it's a little awkward to have more of you." After Lao Li finished speaking, he put on his reading glasses again and buried himself in work.

Seeing that his father no longer cared about him, although Li Yongzhi was still a little hesitant, he did not dare to disobey his father's will, so he had to turn around and leave.

As soon as he walked to the door, his father's voice sounded from behind him: "In fact, the solution is already in your heart, you don't have to think too much in your mind, just follow your heart." ”

Li Yongzhi was stunned at the door, the solution was already in his heart? What is it?

Right! Stop them from bidding on that piece of land!

He finally came to his senses and took out his phone to look at the date.

"Today is the 27th, it's still too late!"
