Guo Degui went to Professor Hu's house on the third day of the new year, that is, on the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month. There is a set of snorts for the New Year in the northeast: "Twenty-three eat stove sugar, twenty-four sweep the house, twenty-five make tofu, twenty-six stew meat, twenty-seven kill roosters, twenty-eight paste New Year's paintings, twenty-nine go to drink, Chinese New Year's Eve make dumplings, eat dumplings and drink wine, and you will have whatever you want in the coming year." ”

Catching up with the twenty-sixth, Guo Deguang deliberately carried two more ribs and boarded Professor Hu's door.

"Professor Hu will give you an early greeting."

"Ah, Xiao Guo, come in, what else do you bring?"

Professor Hu's wife is also at home, and the professor's wife is a doctor, but a Western doctor, and she works in pediatrics, so she can be regarded as an expert.

The professor's wife glanced at Guo Deguang and could see that this young man was a little rustic. It's no wonder that cultural people pay attention to temperament, and Guo Deguang didn't have this kind of thing at that time. But for Guo Deguang's sake of taking so many things, the professor's wife didn't say anything.

"Come and sit here, come over here." Professor Hu called Guo Deguang to the two mahogany chairs, and there was an extra tea table in the middle of the chairs.

The professor's wife is a little confused this time, but Professor Hu can't put down these two chairs, and loves to sit on them and have a cup of tea when he has nothing to do. Ordinary people have never seen him so attentive when they come to the house, and someone paid 30,000 yuan to buy him a pair of chairs, but he didn't agree. What's going on today.

"O wife! Hurry up and make us two cups of tea, and I'll have a good chat with Xiao Guo. ”

Suddenly, the tea was ready, and the two continued to talk about their topic.

"Xiao Guo'er, what do you say, someone paid 30,000 yuan to buy my pair of chairs, do you think I can sell them here!"

"This only shows that you have a unique vision and have found a treasure. Besides, the furnishings in your hometown, can the taste be low! ”

"I really want to tell you something, how to talk about it, it's the owner who paid 30,000 yuan to buy my chair. He came to my house with an old friend of mine and a professor that day, that old Huo, that is the professor I said, he and I both like some old objects such as antiques and jade, and the person who came with him is also a connoisseur. He's just an antique, that guy is too businessman, I don't like it very much! Professor Hu said this, and Guo Deguang listened carefully.

"Don't just listen to me, drink tea, drink tea."

"Hey, I'm listening to you." Guo Deguang responded.

"He came to me, mainly to see this pair of chairs, don't say that he really has two hits, just say that the back of this chair is back. He also said that this chair came from the wrong way, and later asked me if I could give him this thing, and he could pay 30,000 yuan.

If he hadn't told me about 30,000, I'd have really believed his claim that this chair came from the wrong place.

I told him that the back of the chair was not worth the price he was paying. He said that he would take these and sell them to foreigners! There are few foreigners who know how to fool around. Professor Hu took a breath when he said this, took a sip of tea, and continued:

"Later, when he saw that I was really unwilling to give up, he asked me who had repaired the chairs, and I said that it was you, and he said that he had something to do with you. I kept his business card. Professor Hu flipped through the pages, took out the business card from a book on the shelf, and handed it to Guo Deguang.

"Dinner is here. I'd like to try the mountain goods you brought. "The professor's wife was already wearing an apron and preparing to cook.

"I don't dare to disturb, I'll go back, don't be busy." Guo Deguang said that he was going to stand up and leave.

"What are you going to do, you haven't said anything yet, just left?" Professor Hu sat in his chair and didn't move, but Guo Deguang's heart was shocked.

"Look, I'm really looking for something from you. Well, I'll go and help that aunt cook, and learn a little bit of a craft by the way. ”

"That's right! Go, go, your aunt's surname is Qin. But Qin Shi Huang's Qin! Professor Hu said with a smile and deep meaning.

……………………

After a while, everyone sat down to eat. Fang was in the kitchen, Guo Deguang was gone, and he was waiting for Aunt Qin. I also personally asked Ying to make a dish.

"Wife, come and try Xiao Guo'er's dish, what's it called?"

"Gaba pot potato ribs."

"What's the name?" Professor Hu asked.

"Gaba pot potato pork ribs," Guo Deguang said unconfidently.

"Why do you have such a name?" Professor Hu asked puzzled.

"I don't know too much, my mother taught me to teach this way, I feel that it is necessary to be quick when the pot is raised, don't wait for the real Gaba pot to be too late."

"It's hard for you kid. What else did your mother teach you, so that Auntie could see it for a long time. Aunt Qin said lovingly.

"I'd like to learn more! She passed away, when I was a sophomore in high school. At that time, Guo Deguang didn't know that his father Guo was almost gone. No one knows when his dad left.

"Look at what Auntie said." Aunt Qin said.

After eating, Guo Deguang wanted to wash the dishes, but Aunt Qin stopped him.

"O child! We're all so old, if you have anything, just tell me and your Uncle Hu, and you want to wash the dishes before you finish washing. ”

"That's the case, I have a partner in my hometown. She graduated from secondary school this year, and I met her as a student at a health school. I think she's still young, and even though we got married early, I want her to go to college, so I should fulfill my wish, and my mom is counting on me to go to college. ”

"What if she abandons you when she goes to college. Don't you want to think about it? Don't blame your aunt for being cold-mouthed, in fact, this is also a very realistic thing. Aunt Qin said.

"I've thought about this, even if I fulfill my wish. As for me, I won't tell you that I have made some money in the past few years, about 70,000 or 80,000 a year. But I missed out on a good time to study. ”

"Oh, you can earn so much, and your uncle and I can't earn it alone." Aunt Qin said in surprise.

"Don't underestimate Xiao Guo, with his skills, it's worth earning this money." Professor Hu helped.

"I see, you should be reading a night or something yourself. After all, this society still looks at diplomas, and besides, you can match your girlfriend in the future! Aunt Qin turned on her preaching mode.

"I've thought about this, I want to make some money in the past few years, and besides, my family's conditions are not good, so I can only earn money for him to go to college."

"Then if you come to me, I can't help you!" Professor Hu seemed to be talking to himself.

"I just inquired about the next door, and I heard that our medical university has a number of recommended secondary school students every year. I'll see what the conditions are. ”

"I'm not familiar with admissions, so it looks like you're going to run for nothing."

"Professor Hu, you are always worried, I just came to explore the way first, it is my preference to visit you, I can have a meal with Aunt Qin and you, I will be content."

"Your Uncle Hu can help you, he is like this, I understand. He won't tell you anything he isn't sure about. Every year there are a number of special recruitment slots. ”

"Wife, don't talk so much, if I'm in charge of admissions, it's okay to say, don't look at me as a vice principal, but I have a level and no real power! It's okay that I did it, but didn't it delay people's business. ”

"Then you try it with Principal Zhang, the one who brought back a Soviet daughter-in-law. This year, he is still a foreign monk who is good at chanting, and he has troubled you a lot in the past two years, and you didn't help him with the two projects he has at hand. ”

"Didn't he help our son go abroad?"

"Then I saved his daughter-in-law's life!" Aunt Qin was a little angry, and it seemed that there were still some words that she hadn't said for a while.

"Professor Hu and my aunt, I understand what you mean. Over the years, I have more or less understood some things, and I understand the difficulties of asking for help. So you can see if it's okay, as long as you build a bridge for me, help introduce me, and I'll run for the rest of the business. I really don't have any tricks, so I'll ask you for help and support. Guo Deguang said that he had his own calculations.

"Don't worry, if Principal Zhang doesn't promise you, there will be his daughter-in-law Tasha! Tasha: I know. You can do it. ”

Guo Deguang wrote down the phone numbers of Professor Hu and President Zhang's house, asked for the address of President Zhang's house, and agreed to call Professor Hu's house at 10 a.m. tomorrow to decide how to operate this matter.

"Professor Hu, Aunt Qin, then I won't bother, you two elders will pick up your grandson tomorrow, rest early!" While cooking in the kitchen, Guo Deguang learned that Professor Hu's son went to study in the Soviet Union last year and could not go home this year, and his daughter-in-law would bring her eldest grandson over tomorrow.

"Xiao Guo, this is how much you care. Or you can stay here for the night. Tomorrow will be good news for sure. Aunt Qin's face was sincere.

"I have a friend to go and see, so I won't bother today."

Professor Hu has not been in good health recently, so he asked Aunt Qin to send Guo Deguang out, and before leaving, Guo Deguang gave Aunt Qin a thousand yuan.

"Auntie, this money is my New Year's money for my eldest nephew, don't see it."

"You see you've come with so many things, and you're taking money, it's not good."

"If you want to see me again, I have no place to be ashamed, it's just a little heart, you see ,,, don't talk to Professor Hu about this money."

"Alas! To tell you the truth, this old man is at a loss because he is too decent, otherwise how can he have the opportunity to be surnamed Zhang. ”

"Aunt Qin, suffering a loss is a blessing, and besides, Professor Hu is a blessing to have a virtuous help like you! Auntie, stop there, I'll call you tomorrow. ”

"Alright then, you kid is still full of slippery heads, so be it!"

Guo Deguang said goodbye to the professor and his wife, and while thinking about how to open up the situation tomorrow, he looked for a hotel where he could stay.

Seeing a hotel in front of Jin Yuelai, he booked a room and came to the front desk telephone.

"There's a charge for calling!" The front desk lady said impatiently.

"Don't worry, you're indispensable."

Guo Deguang dialed the phone number of Wang Yan's nurse station on duty, but it was not her who answered the phone, she got off work in the morning. When he withdrew money to pay the bill, he suddenly found a business card.

"Datong Trade Discovery Co., Ltd. ,,, Li Jianmin." Who is this man, Ou, the antique dealer who wants to find me.
