Returning from Yejia Village, the Ye family looked radiant, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face. That smile is the kind that goes straight to the bottom of my heart. Ye Feng understood that the icebergs that were between her and the second elder of the Ye family had melted.

Sometimes, the two sides of the conflict are not unwilling to solve the problem, but need an opportunity.

When the time comes, spring will come.

Chen Jixing was also quite interested, probably because it was the first time he returned to the Ye family's maiden home, and the friendliness of the Ye family exceeded his expectations. To be honest, he was prepared not to say a word.

Not to mention a few sisters-in-law, Daddy Ye is really warm and thoughtful to him. Chen Jixing's father died early, and Mrs. Liu couldn't get along with Ye's family, so the enthusiasm of Ye Dad and Lin's made Chen Jixing feel the long-lost warmth.

Taking advantage of the boredom after the New Year, Ye Feng took Chen Jixing to the forest a few times. Most of the trees in the forest are deciduous trees, which makes the whole vision much better, but there is a thick layer of leaves on the ground, which crumbles instantly when you step on it.

A tree that has lost its leaves is easier to observe the shape of the tree, but it has an additional step to check whether it is alive or not than an evergreen tree. Ye Feng pinched the bark on the branches with his fingernails, if it is green, it is alive, and if it is dry, it can only be used as firewood.

In this way, five cypress trees and six pine trees were found, and these two trees were the most suitable for birthday celebrations.

Cypress trees are fine, but pine trees are beautiful.

Chen Jixing led the way in front with a basket on his back, and it was time to go home to see the sky. As he walked, Ye Feng heard him shout excitedly: "Come and see, is this the kind of tree in our backyard?" ”

Ye Feng hurriedly stepped forward and saw him pointing to a tree not far away, his eyes were full of surprise. When you walk in, isn't it a red fruit tree?

Although there is no styling to speak of, this tree is thicker and older than the red fruit tree in the backyard, making it perfect for styling.

Ye Feng said: "Yes, brother-in-law, this is the red fruit tree, and it is better than the one in our backyard." ”

Hearing Ye Feng's confirmation, Chen Jixing was excited, this was the first time he had discovered a plastic plant with "economic value", so he immediately put down the back basket and cleaned up the fallen leaves around the tree with Ye Feng, and then began to dig.

After the tree was dug up and dealt with, the two stopped by to see the cuckoo tied up a year ago. Seeing that everything was fine, the two hurried home.

I have to say that it is convenient to have Chen Jixing with him, all the trees are carried by him, and he is still walking like flying.

Ye Feng was empty-handed and at ease throughout the whole process.

On this day, when he had nothing to do, Ye Feng took Qianyan to the city, wanting to buy some bones and come back to stew soup and drink, and by the way, make the bones into nutritious soil. Ye Shi thought about it, anyway, these two people have been going to the city a lot during this time, they are very familiar, and a few big cows are also going, so they didn't follow.

After buying the meat and bones, before Ye Feng could say what he thought, Da Niu said, "It's still early, let's go to the teahouse last time to drink tea and eat pastries." ”

In fact, he wanted to see those strange performances again.

As soon as Da Niu said, Qianyan also agreed very much, clapping his hands and saying yes. Seeing that Chen Qianshan did not refuse, Ye Feng had no choice but to take a few people to the teahouse. When it arrived, it was full of people, and various performances had begun, which was very lively.

Ye Feng hurriedly paid, ordered a bowl of tea and some pastries for each person, and gave a few more instructions before leaving.

This time he went into the city, he had something to do, and it was inconvenient to take a few children with him.

Speaking of which, the frequency of entering the city has been very high recently, and he already knows that the best jewelry shop in the city is Jumbo Zhai. And it is said that this treasure is not deceived and genuine.

Although he himself does not understand jade, Zhenbao Zhai, as the leader of the jewelry industry in the county, naturally has a good vision.

If you ask the experts in the shop to help you look at the texture and handiwork of your jade, you may be able to find out the situation related to your life experience.

Ye Feng has been thinking about this idea for a long time, but some time ago during the Chinese New Year, the family was cooking and selling cutting boards, and there were so many things that he couldn't get out at all. And that time was also the time when the business of Zhenbao Zhai was booming, all the small servants, including the shopkeeper, were busy with their feet and did not touch the ground, and he did not go to consume, and he didn't have time to take care of him if he wanted to come.

And this time is very leisurely, so I thought about taking advantage of today's convenience to hurry up and investigate.

It's just that what Ye Feng didn't know was that the shopkeeper Ye had a big business to negotiate on this day, so he left in a hurry after breakfast, leaving only his distant nephew named Ke Guide to guard the shop.

As for the other guys, since it's still the first month of the year, most of them haven't come back yet. I have to say that in this regard, the guys of Zhenbaozhai are still very happy, and they have a salary, and they can stay at home with their relatives, which can be regarded as paid leave.

Before leaving, Shopkeeper Ye was a little uneasy, after all, he could restrain this nephew in the shop. Therefore, he only said earnestly: "Guide, my uncle is going out today, and he will return in the evening, remember not to argue with customers." If you don't understand something, ask others, and don't make your own decisions. ”

After thinking about it, he added: "Don't leave the words behind, continue to write, I will check it in the evening." ”

"Uncle, I can save it, you can rest assured." Ke Guide said obediently.

This Ke guide has an empty stomach and no ink in his head, and he was originally working as a farmer in the countryside.

The shopkeeper Ye thought of his pity, and the child's birth date was exactly the same as his child who had no chance to meet, but he was born on the same day, the same month, the same year, so he loved the house and Wu, so he took it back to the shop and taught it carefully. Just hoping that one day there will be a big success, which can be regarded as a comfort.

It's strange to say, this Ke guide is not afraid of heaven and earth, and almost no one dares to mess with it when he is in the countryside, chasing chickens and dogs all day long, causing trouble. Now that I see the shopkeeper Ye, I am very respectful.

Therefore, although the two are uncles and nephews, they are like father and son.

Shopkeeper Ye saw that although his qualifications were poor, he was better than diligence, and he also respected himself from the bottom of his heart, so he loved him even more.

In fact, there are some old people in the store, but letting him guard the shop alone is also a sincere intention to exercise him.

When Ye Feng entered the store, this Ke guide was copying the calligraphy in a similar way, which was originally requested by the shopkeeper Ye.

In the opinion of the shopkeeper Ye, Ke Guide will be the shopkeeper in the future, since he is the shopkeeper, how can he not write, or write a "dog-planing" word.

Therefore, when he was about to go out, he did not forget to arrange a few words, asked him to imitate them carefully, and said that he would come back to check.

As soon as Ye Feng entered the shop, he saw a young man who was only eleven or twelve years old who was slightly older than himself was seriously posting, and he had a better and better impression of this shop.

A little guy knows that he will post at the first opportunity, and presumably the boss will not be bad.

It's no wonder that Ye Feng wants to recognize Ke Dao as a little girl, his temperament and appearance really don't look like a scholar.

Seeing that there was no one else in the shop, Ye Feng stepped forward and said, "This son, I have a piece of jade here, which is my family heirloom." I would also like to ask my son to make it convenient and help identify it, which is grateful. ”

Ye Feng decided that this Ke Guide knew some business, or, even if he didn't understand, he should ask the experts in the shop to come out and help.

Ye Feng thought that the etiquette was in place, but he didn't know that Ke Dao only glanced at him with his eyes slantedly, and then stopped speaking. After a long time, he only said three words: "Take it." ”

In Ke Guide's opinion, Ye Feng was not a customer at all, and he was not within the scope of his respect. And for the New Year, it's okay not to patronize, but it's still a door-to-door help, which is too unsophisticated.

Strictly speaking, Ye Feng was the first guest today.

His arrogant attitude made Ye Feng very dissatisfied, what about the famous shop, with this kind of service attitude, sooner or later it would have to be closed. But because he also had a request for someone in front of him, he endured it.

Because he solemnly took out the jade jue from his chest and gently put it on the case where Ke Gui copied the copybook.

How do you know that Ke Guide was copying a word "to", twisting around with a pen, and happened to bump into Yu Jue. Ye Feng's hand was suddenly hit by a brush, and as soon as the weather was cold, his hand slipped, and this jade Jue fell into the inkstone with a "poof".

In an instant, the ink in the inkstone spilled out and splashed everywhere. This splash also made the calligraphy that Ke Guide had copied before dirty.

Ke Gui saw that all the words he had worked so hard to copy were destroyed, and the shopkeeper Ye would definitely not be able to make a difference when he came back, so he had to ask again, and said angrily: "Where did you come from called Huazi!" Don't look at what kind of place this is, and you can come too. I also stained all the words of the master, see how I clean you up! ”

After speaking, he walked out of the desk, and pounced on Ye Feng with his teeth and claws, thinking that he was going to beat Ye Feng well.

As the so-called heroes don't eat the losses in front of them, Ye Feng looked at his thin body, and then looked at the other party, the cow was tall and the horse was big, because he took two steps back quickly, keeping a certain distance.

Only then did he say loudly: "I didn't mean to, and then it was your brush that touched my hand, and my jade Jue fell into the inkstone." In that case, it's not my fault. ”

Ke Gui didn't care about this, and scolded while chasing after him: "What a Diao Min, dare to come to Zhenbaozhai to make trouble, and don't look at what your identity is." If I don't clean you up today, I won't be surnamed Ke. ”

If Ye Feng was humble and took the initiative to admit his mistakes, he might stop there. However, Ye Feng was neither humble nor arrogant, and argued with him reasonably, which aroused his ruffian spirit in the countryside.

Because he kept chasing forward, he had to fight hard with Ye Feng.

The quarrel between the two woke up the lazy shopkeeper, and when he saw the situation in front of him, he immediately fell asleep.

It was the same last time, this Ke guide quarreled with the other party because of a quarrel with the customer. It just so happened that this customer was also a difficult one, and he shouted loudly at the moment, only saying that the Jumbo Zhai store was a big bully.

For a while, there were many passers-by, pointing and pointing, so not embarrassed.

In the end, it was the shopkeeper Ye who came forward to clean up the mess, gave the customer a gift, and explained to everyone that the crisis was resolved. From then on, whenever the shopkeeper Ye went out, he would definitely educate the little servants to watch Ke Guide carefully, so as not to cause trouble.

This little ancestor, just now, still copied the calligraphy in style, how could he just take a nap in the blink of an eye, and he quarreled with the customer.

At that moment, no matter who was right or wrong, he forcibly stepped forward and pulled Ke Guide and walked to the back room. There were already other juniors who helped Ye Feng pick up the jade Jue from the inkstone, washed it carefully, and lost it again.

This was originally the order of the shopkeeper Ye.

No matter who Ke Dao argues with, don't care who is right and who is wrong, just fork him away first, and then compensate the other party.

In modern times, this is the concept of "the customer is God", and it is difficult for the Ye shopkeeper to come up with it.

Seeing that the shopkeepers were all polite, and they were anxious to accompany him, and helped him clean the Yujue, the fire in Ye Feng's stomach slowly disappeared. As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person when you reach out, not to mention that your attitude is also problematic, so that's it.

Ye Feng put on the jade jue again carefully, and then walked to the tea shop depressedly to call a few people who were watching the play.

Speaking of which, today is really unlucky, not only did I not ask why, but I provoked a madman.

Let's go home, and I'll be happy when I see those plants.

After talking about business, the palm lamp is very ten, and the shopkeeper Ye comes back. Originally, it was a big deal, and Shopkeeper Ye was still very happy in his heart.

It's just that as soon as I came back, I naturally heard about what happened in the morning, and I was a little dissatisfied in my heart, and I hated that iron could not become steel, so I called Ke Dao to come forward and prepare for a lesson.

If you want to say that you have beaten and scolded, you have to scold, but you don't know what this Ke Guide thinks, and you don't even have the slightest self-motivation. Just now, the little guy who came to him was obviously biased in favor of Ke Gui, and only said how the other party was unreasonable.

However, with Ye's shopkeeper's perception of Ke Guide, how he doesn't know the half-truth of Xiaowu's words. According to his estimate, the man's attitude was probably a little straight, which angered Ke Guide. But in the final analysis, the fault lies in the Ke guide.

Thinking of this, I have the heart to educate him well.

But seeing that Ke Gui lowered his head, looked cautious, and was a little unbearable, the anger in his heart disappeared by half, and he only said: "I warned you several times not to quarrel with customers, but you just didn't listen." Take 10,000 steps back and think about it, you will win the quarrel, what can you get? There are always many injustices in this world, and people are also shapely**, if you always want to deal with them and compete for a win, wouldn't you be tired to death? ”

Seeing that Ke Dao lowered his head and said nothing, Shopkeeper Ye said again: "Bring the words copied today, I want to see it." If the word count is not enough, you will have to copy it ten more times before you can sleep. ”

Ke Dao only complained in his heart, if it weren't for the poor boy's interference, he would definitely be able to finish copying today. He was notoriously slow in writing, and after Ye Feng left, he sulked and hurriedly wrote again, but he still didn't complete the task.

At this moment, I can only accept punishment.

After thinking about it, if you add those few articles that were splashed with ink by the poor boy, in fact, you have completed the task, and you didn't get dirty by yourself anyway, so it's good to hand them in together.

After thinking about it, he handed over the pages of paper that Ye Feng had splashed ink on with Ye Feng to the shopkeeper Ye.

Shopkeeper Ye didn't really want to punish him, but just to scare and scare him and let him know how to advance and retreat. After all, he is also a lot of progress compared to when he first brought it here.

Because of the careful look at these copied words.

While looking at it and nodding his head, it was really a benefit compared to before, and immediately there was something called "gratification" flowing in my heart.

Until I slowly turned to the last few splashed ink and stained them, if I looked closely, I could see the original appearance.

These were the first few sheets that Ke Gui had copied when he got up in the morning, because his mind was still quite concentrated at that time, and he was not impatient enough to resist, so these words were better than the previous ones.

This made Shopkeeper Ye more and more pleased.

When he saw the last one, a blurry pattern attracted him.

Obviously, this pattern was accidentally printed, and although it was not very clear, it was so familiar, as if it had been seen somewhere.

Only, where have you seen it?

Suddenly, an incomparably clear pattern formed in his mind, as if a lightning bolt had struck him in an instant.

Although this pattern is not clear, and there is only half of it, if it is combined, isn't it the appearance of the jade Jue that he designed with Gu Xixi ten years ago?

One of them was hung around the neck of his son, who was a baby at the time. and the other piece is in Gu Xixi's hands. The only difference is that Gu cherishes the piece of jade, which is engraved with the word "leaf", and the meaning is self-evident.

First it was a bag, and this time it was Yujue, his son must still be alive, and he lived not far from here.

Take 10,000 steps back and think about it, even if it is not his own son who owns this jade, then the other party must know some clues.

At that moment, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and pretended to be calm and asked Ke Daodao: "When I went out today, did Mrs. Zhixian come?" ”

"Nope."

Shopkeeper Ye was excited again, and asked as if unintentionally: "Today's handwriting is good, and compared with before, it is getting better and better." But what is this pattern? How is it so strange. ”

Because he pointed to the pattern of the half of the jade, he asked Ke guide.

Hearing that instead of blaming himself, the shopkeeper praised himself for his progress, Ke Dao didn't mention how beautiful it was. Because I heard the shopkeeper ask me again, I looked at it carefully, but I thought about it for a long time, and I didn't have any impression.

When the shopkeeper Ye saw him shaking his head, he didn't give up, and ordered him to carefully recall the people he saw today and what happened.

Who have you seen?

Thinking of this, Guide Ke suddenly remembered that in the morning, there was a poor boy who took a strange-shaped jade jue and begged him to help identify it. No, it's about the same as the shape on this paper, because 1510 said.

In order not to be scolded, Ke Guide deliberately hid the link where the dispute occurred, only saying that a little boy like Hanako took such a pattern of jade to identify, thinking that he was ready to be killed.

And this pattern, I think it was accidentally dropped into the inkstone and printed on it.

His assumptions were not bad.

The jade fell into the inkstone, and the ink soaked it through. After fishing it out, I rolled it a few times on the paper of Ke Gui's copying font, and naturally there was an imprint.

"That...... How old is Hanako and what does she look like? What Ke Dao didn't see was that when Shopkeeper Ye said the three words "called Huazi", his thumb was about to break his index finger.

"Probably ten years old, appearance, I can't remember what it looks like."

"So, did he tell him where he lives?"

"Nope. One is called Hanako, and naturally she is begging for food everywhere. Hey, you don't know, it's called a poor sour, there is no place in the whole body to see it, and there is a sour smell......"

"Alright, you go down."

When Ke Dao saw Shopkeeper Ye asking about this pattern, he thought that he would use this as an excuse to scold himself for being naughty; When I asked the child how old he was, what he looked like, and where he lived, he felt more and more that he would drag himself forward to apologize.

Every time I encounter a quarrel with a customer, it ends in this way. But after asking unexpectedly, he lost his mind a little, and then he didn't get angry, so he waved himself away, and he also felt that he was thinking too much, so he went down.

And at this moment, Shopkeeper Ye's heart was as painful as being scalded by boiling water.

Like called Hanako? Is it good to have no place in the whole body? Smelly? Of course, he and Gu Xixi are not by his side, can he live well?

How did he live! Isn't it just right to be a teenager?

After thinking about it, if this jade jue was picked up by someone else, or robbed by someone, wouldn't his own son be ...... I couldn't help but shudder when I thought of this, and I kept settling myself in my heart, he was still alive, he must still be alive.

I was about to carefully store this piece of paper, but I didn't close my eyes all night, thinking about what to do next.

The next day, she sent someone to look for Gu Xixi, only to say that there was a big business that she needed to decide.

By the time Gu Xixi arrived, Shopkeeper Ye had already paced back and forth thousands of times. Seeing her enter the door, he didn't speak, and took out the paper with the pattern directly from his arms.

Gu Xixi knew that the business was fake on the way here, and discussed how to find his son was true, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurried here, but found that the shopkeeper Ye only showed himself a piece of paper.

With doubts, Gu Xixi looked at the piece of paper carefully, and this time he saw that he was also depressed.

It's been eleven years, and this half of Yu Jue has been away from him for a full eleven years. Even if it turns to ashes, you will definitely recognize it.

Back then, he personally hung it around his neck. The delicate neck, the face that resembles himself, the little white hands......

In the sad place, a tear dripped down.

The tears dripped onto the paper, disappeared in an instant, and blurred. Gu Xixi was so distressed that he picked up his sleeve and wiped it. It seems that the precious clothes that have just been made on the body are not worth anything.

And this kind of thing is to wipe things with her sleeves, she can't do it as a lady.

But at this moment, etiquette is nothing.

In fact, it's not just clothes, even if it's life, I'm afraid I'm willing to give it up.

In asked, "Are there any other clues?" ”

Shopkeeper Gu shook his head and explained the whole story in detail.

Under the arrangement of fate, the son is slowly getting closer to himself. As long as you sit here and wait slowly, you will always meet.

This is what Gu Xixi thought of at this moment.

Look up, leave, and don't take a cloud with you. And people have changed to another face, dignified and glamorous.

She cherishes it, and she is the lady of the county. The mistakes of the past are irreparable, but the current life has to be managed well, and she is originally different from the Ye shopkeeper.

What's more, she is still the mother of two children.

In the next month, Shopkeeper Gu didn't dare to leave Zhenbaozhai for a while, for fear that in the little time he left, he would miss his son's coming again like last time.

However, just as he had waited for the ox cart in that place a few months ago, the poor boy in the mouth of the guide Ke never appeared again.

This inevitably made him a little discouraged, but after all, he never gave up, and kept sitting and waiting. Even, he began to pay attention to the dirty and smelly little Hanako, thinking that maybe he could recognize each other at a glance.
