Not to mention that the more the Tao couple discussed, the more excited they became, and vowed to develop their family's kiln into the leading kiln industry in Taojia Village. This kind of longing and hope temporarily diluted the regret that the two of them were still in their knees, and turned it into a strong drive.

On Ye Feng's side, the family walked out of Master Tao's house for a long time, but Ye saw Chen Jixing holding a bowl in both hands, and the whole person looked dumbfounded.

But Ye didn't pay attention to him, anyway, he was always like this on weekdays, so people couldn't guess what he was thinking. However, fortunately, Ye Feng followed him just now, so there would be no accidents.

Because he saw Ye Feng's face was happy, he was very interested along the way, and he looked east and west, so he asked with a smile: "Seeing that you are so happy, let me guess, it must be that Master Tao has already taken over this job, right?" How, can he fire those patterns and styles? ”

Yip was also involved in the design of these styles and patterns, so he was looking forward to it. After Ye Feng's explanation, she already knew what a good-looking flower pot meant for a bonsai.

It's just that the price will be very expensive.

However, thinking that the silver was earned by Ye Feng herself, if she asked, it would seem that she was very unhappy, so she didn't mention it the whole time.

Hearing this, Ye Feng didn't think much about it, let alone the silver, after all, he didn't spend money at all, so he replied: "It must be possible, otherwise he wouldn't have taken this job, I think Master Tao is a cautious person." It's just that the time is not short, and it is said that we will come back in a month to pick it up! ”

To be honest, maybe in the eyes of the Ye family, this speed is fast enough, but Ye Feng feels that this efficiency is really average. Although the styles and patterns he asked for were a little more complicated, the pottery master never fired them.

However, once the mold is made, it is basically done.

But it's okay, I'm not in a hurry to use it anyway.

Now, there is a red fruit tree and a few very ordinary pines and cypresses at home, and the New Year is going to be more than two months away, so I can't make any bonsai before the New Year.

What a pity!

You know, no matter what time and space it is, the Chinese New Year is the time when people's purchasing power is the strongest. It would be nice if we could launch a batch of bonsai before the Chinese New Year.

Seeing that Ye Feng suddenly began to be disappointed again, that expression was simply uncontrollable, Ye Shi was a little worried, don't be there just now that she and Qianyan were not there, what happened to these two people.

After thinking about it, Ye Shi asked sideways: "What's wrong with you, you look like you're very disappointed." ”

"Ah, is it obvious?" Ye Feng asked.

"yes, it's so obvious that you have to say it yourself. I wasn't here with Qianyan just now, so nothing happened to you. ”

"Of course it's okay, I'm disappointed because I feel that I haven't gained anything from entering the mountains during this time, and now I'm taking a red fruit tree at home. Sister, you think, it's going to be the New Year in a while, and every family will have to buy something to go home at that time. If we can grow some bonsai before the Chinese New Year and put them in the market, maybe we can actually sell them......

Hearing this, Ye Shi was a little amused while reassuring, it turned out that Ye Feng was worried about this matter. It's just that this season is too cold, and most of the flowering bonsai have shed their leaves and started to spend the winter, where is it so easy to find those that are both beautiful and not falling leaves?

However, this also shows from the side that maybe the silver has been spent, so Ye Feng is in a hurry to earn it back.

It was Chen Jixing, who still looked so dumbfounded, Ye suddenly felt funny again, no wonder the horse butcher wanted to call him "Chen Nerd", she was still a little angry when she heard it for the first time.

Now, she's not angry at all.

Thinking of this, Ye deliberately found some topics to make Ye Feng happy. She was full of confidence in Ye Feng in her heart, and felt that since he could make the previous pot of "bright future", he would definitely be able to make other better ones.

So he deliberately chatted with Ye Feng about the topic of flower pot styles. Sure enough, Ye Feng was attracted by this topic, and walked towards the entrance of the village, chatting with Ye about the details.

As a result, Ye Feng explained the meaning of those patterns to Ye Shi in detail, Ye Shi was very happy to hear it, not to mention the feeling after these flower pots were fired, she also participated in the design of those patterns, so like Ye Feng, she couldn't wait to see the finished product.

As I walked, I came to the place where the villagers set up stalls at the entrance of the village.

When he first came in, because he had something to talk about and was in a hurry, he didn't know how long he had to talk to Master Tao, so Ye Feng didn't take a closer look.

Now that he has time, Ye Feng wants to take a closer look. It's a bit of a folk village. Anyway, after sitting in the ox cart for so long, it is time to play at this moment.

At the same time, I was afraid that I would miss the time to take the car, so I turned my head and asked Chen Jixing: "Brother-in-law, is it time to take the car now?" ”

Chen Jixing was still immersed in his own world, and it wasn't until Ye pushed him that he looked at a few people blankly.

Ye Feng had no choice but to ask again.

"Oh, there's still a moment, no hurry, no hurry." He thought that Ye Feng wanted to go faster and take the car.

Hearing that there was still time, Ye Feng took Qianyan to find a stall and squatted down to look at a teapot.

To be honest, the workmanship of this teapot is really rough, and the materials used are not estimated to be good materials, which are not as good as ordinary pottery bowls. But the advantage is that the size is right, and it is accompanied by four small pottery teacups.

The last time he was doing farm work, Ye Feng wanted to buy a teapot, because he drank water directly from a bowl at home. That is, it is it to eat, it is to drink soup, and it is also to drink water.

Not to mention that Ye Feng and Qianyan couldn't drink a bowl of water at all for a long time, and there was often a layer of oil floating in that bowl because there were no detergents and other detergents at home, just because the villagers were used to drinking cold water, Ye Feng felt that it was necessary to change this lifestyle.

Although the well water was also clean, Ye Feng always felt that drinking boiled water was a healthier way of life. It's just a matter of spending a little firewood, and it's a big deal to be diligent and pick up firewood every day whenever you have time.

What's more, now that he can afford it, he wants to buy it.

In addition, there is also a reason for choosing this one, because the hostess of this stall looks very old, younger than the Ye family, but she is carrying a milk doll on her back, her face is full of pain, and she is not good at shouting, so no one patronizes it at all.

Seeing this, Ye Feng's sympathy was a little overflowing.

Ye Feng asked, "This teapot and these four teacups are a set, right?" How much money do I need in total? You just said the selling price, it's too expensive, I won't buy it. ”

The woman was ready to close the stall, but after all, it was not early, and she had to rush back to cook. Today, none of them were sold, and when I went home, I would definitely be beaten by the minister.

At this time, when he saw that there was a customer, he hurriedly said: "A total of thirty Wen." ”

Seeing Ye Feng frowning, she hurriedly added: "Little brother, although this teapot looks very ordinary, it is more practical than it, and it is very convenient to drink water." If you really want to buy it, twenty-seven wen will do. ”

Ye Feng listened to her take the initiative to reduce the price, and knew in his heart that this price was very fair, after all, he had seen a lot of similar things along the way.

So he said, "Okay, twenty-seven is twenty-seven, I bought it." Please help me wrap it. It's just that I'm going to have to take the car back in a while, and it's bumpy back and forth, so it's hard to make the bag stronger. ”

As he spoke, he happily handed over twenty-seven cents.

When she saw that the business was done, the woman's heart was exceedingly happy.

took the copper coin, and hurriedly responded, while coaxing the child who suddenly started crying, he was busy packing Ye Feng.

Seeing her like this, Ye Feng was a little unbearable, because he deliberately said loudly: "Sister, the things in this stall are very practical, and the price is fair, let's buy some next time." Well, this bowl is good, and so is this plate. ”

Ye didn't know Ye Feng's intentions, but he felt that the price was about the same, and a set of teapots of this style would cost forty wen in the market.

So he nodded and said, "I think it's good too." ”

At this time, there were picky customers all around, and when they heard Ye and Ye Feng say this, they were all a little curious and gathered around. When I saw what I wanted, I asked the price, and it was really fair, so I began to pay after a counteroffer.

For a time, thanks to Ye Feng's blessing, several pieces of pottery were sold.

After the teapot was packed, Ye Feng took it, thanked him, and pulled Qianyan to chase Ye and Chen Jixing not far away.

"Uncle, this teapot is so beautiful, shall we use this to drink water in the future?"

"Okay, silly girl, I bought this teapot just for us to drink tea in the future."

"But there is no tea at home. I heard Brother Qianfan say that tea is too expensive, and we can't afford it. ”

"You don't have to use the kind of tea sold in the market to make tea, in fact, many flowers and grasses can be used to make tea, such as roses, mountain mint, and various fruits sliced and dried ......."

"Uncle, what is a rose?"

Hearing this, Ye Feng knew that he had said something that maybe there was no in this time and space, so he had to justify himself: "It's just a beautiful and edible flower, so let's go to the mountains again when we have time to see if there is anything that can be used to make tea." It's really not good, let's go to the city once another day and buy some cheap tea and come back. ”

Ye Feng and Qianyan were playing with the wrapped teapot and teacups there, discussing the matter of buying tea, here, Ye Shi thought of something, and saw that Ye Feng was no longer there, so he pulled Chen Jixing, and then asked: "Boss, how much are these twenty bowls?" ”

Originally, she only wanted to buy ten, but Ye Feng said that ten was not enough. After thinking about it, Ye felt that what Ye Feng said was right, anyway, sometimes he only came to Taojia Village once in a few years, and it would not be enough if Qianyan broke a few more girls.

And this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was made by my own family, twenty bowls are just right, no need for the sister-in-law and sister-in-law to run back and forth with the bowl.

Chen Jixing saw that Ye Feng bought a set of teapots, although he didn't know what he bought them for, but he didn't mean to object, anyway, it didn't cost anything to buy a bowl today, and it was free to burn a flower pot, but it was twenty-seven Wen, which was not worth anything.

Hearing Ye Shi ask like this, he said casually: "I don't want money." ”

"Don't want money?" Hearing this, Ye slapped Chen Jixing's waist, "Nerd Chen, do you know what I'm talking about?" What does it mean not to have money. ”

Ye saw that Chen Jixing had been in a daze, and heard him say that he didn't want money, and his heart suddenly became angry. Twenty clay bowls, how can it be possible not to have money. Most of the time he was in a daze, not hearing what he was asking.

"Why are you beating me, you still call me a nerd, why am I staying." As soon as Chen Jixing became powerful, Ye was still afraid, so he had to change his face and said coquettishly: "I'm ...... People ask you how much these 20 bowls cost, but you say you don't want money, of course they get angry. ”

Chen Jixing said funny: "You said that you are a person, what am I lying to you for?" These twenty bowls really don't cost money. ”

Ye Shi believed it at this time, and said happily: "Speaking of which, the pottery master is really polite, is it because we fired the flower pot, so the bowl was given to us for free?" Ye's mind was also quite transparent, and he thought of the key point at once.

Also, after spending so much silver to make a flower pot, it is not too much to send twenty bowls.

Who knows, Chen Jixing immediately retorted: "What, you still have to change the problem of always thinking about people for good, and you still call me a nerd......"

Seeing Ye Shi staring at him, Chen Jixing changed his tone and said, "Not only do these twenty bowls cost money, but the hundred flower pots fired today are also free." By the way, Ye Feng's kid also took the opportunity to ask for some pigs, chickens, villains or something, and they didn't confiscate our silver! ”

This time it was Ye's turn to be in a daze.

Seeing Ye in a daze, Chen Jixing looked proud.

Hmph, call yourself a nerd, and don't look at what you are like now.

Ye knew that Chen Jixing was in a lot of energy now, so he was very nervous, and asked him if it was just "self-inflicted humiliation", and caught up with Ye Feng in front of him in a few steps, and asked Ye Feng when he opened his mouth: "Tell my sister quickly, why doesn't Master Tao accept our silver?" I heard from your brother-in-law that these bowls and fired pots bought today are free. ”

She couldn't think of a reason after thinking about it for a long time, which made her anxious.

"Is this...... I drew some patterns and patterns for the potter, and some porcelain plates, and allowed him to fire them and sell them himself. So, he doesn't lose either. Ye Feng said lightly.

Ye Shi understands now.

Indeed, if the pattern is good, the shape of the ceramic is beautiful, and there are no customers, it is not a loss to come to the pottery master.

Ye's heart suddenly became more happy, that is to say, except for the money for the ox cart ride and the money for the teapot and teacup, the rest of today's trip is free.

Well, the money I brought today is equivalent to not spending a penny. This winter, the family can eat and drink without worrying.

On the other side, the ox-cart driver took advantage of the gap between everyone going to burn pottery or pick up goods, and pulled the oxen to a place by the river with abundant water and grass to rest. Let the tired cows nibble on the fresh grass, drink the clear water, and take the opportunity to find a secluded place to rest.

After eating dry food, he is sleeping on the grass and basking in the sun.

The environment of this Taojia village is not very good, there is a choking smell of smoke everywhere, and the houses in the whole village are covered with a layer of dust, so it is cleaner here.

This cow was a big black cow of adulthood, tired for most of the day, eating grass, drinking water, and seeing that the owner did not let himself continue to drive, he lazily lay on the grass to bask in the sun.

One person, one cow and one river, looking at it is also harmonious.

When Chen Jixing's family came to the banyan tree, there were already two or three people waiting here.

With the experience of sharing the same car in the morning, everyone was no longer as rusty as in the morning, but smiled politely at each other. Because it was not yet the agreed ride time, Ye took out the remaining dry food, sat in the shade, and the family ate while waiting for the arrival of the ox cart.

Ye Feng and Qianyan even ran around the big banyan tree and laughed, ran for a while, and then walked towards the river.

Seeing that a little girl had been staring at the bun in her hand, Ye Shi tore most of it and handed it over, and said, "Come on, little sister, are you hungry, come, this is for you to eat." ”

The little woman holding the little girl looked no more than twenty years old, and when she saw her daughter grabbing the bun handed over by Ye and stuffing it into her mouth, she had to tell her to eat slowly while thanking Ye.

When the little girl finished eating, the little woman breathed a sigh of relief and said to Ye, "Eldest sister, I just saw that you are a family of four." According to me, you better call your girl back. ”

Just as he was about to say, Ye was also anxious to hear it, and the little girl in the woman's arms suddenly cried. The little woman was comforted again.

When the little girl stopped crying, the woman continued: "I tell you, this area is not very peaceful, and there are flowers! When I just went to buy a bowl, I heard that there was a child in this village, so tall, four years old, who was snatched away by a flower yesterday. ”

Hearing this, Ye stood up suddenly, and the woman continued: "When Hanako was coaxing the child, she was discovered by an old woman, and she began to rob it. When the old woman saw that she couldn't grab it, she cried out loudly. Unfortunately, Hanako came in a carriage, pushed the old woman to the ground, and snatched the child into the car, and his accomplice drove away......"

Before she finished speaking, Ye and Chen Jixing had already disappeared.

The rest of the people asked with great interest, "What happened later?" ”

"Hey, what's the future! The carriage drove fast, and when the old woman called everyone to help, there was still a shadow of the cart. Poor child's mother, she fainted from crying on the spot. ”

"Hey, the child's father and mother are too, and their own children don't look good at it, so it's okay, just wait to regret it."

"You know, those Hanako are the most cunning and hateful, specifically targeting children whose parents are not around. Adults are always busy, how can there be a child who keeps his child on his body all the time. ”

"Yes, according to me, the most hateful thing is those flowers, who are idle, who don't know how to support themselves, but who specialize in these hellish things. If I encounter him, see if I don't kill him. ”

……

Everyone is expressing their regret for the young parents who lost their children, and they also express their hatred for Hanako.

Hearing these discussions, a middle-aged woman was covered with sweat and sweat, and her hands were clenched tightly, trembling unconsciously, and her eyes were red.

Everyone only thought that she was sympathetic to the family who lost the child, so they didn't ask more.

Only the man next to her knew that she was thinking of the child she had lost for almost eleven years.

Ye and Chen Jixing couldn't sit still since they heard the word "Huazi", and the couple got up together and rushed towards the river.

These two words are an eternal nightmare in their hearts.

Seeing that the Ye family seemed to be a little frightened, Chen Jixing comforted as he walked: "It's okay, it's okay, Ye Feng is here." ”

Who knows, Ye is still not at ease, and he is still walking fast, and even Chen Jixing can't keep up with her footsteps. Chen Jixing knew in his heart that Ye was worried and afraid.

When the couple saw Ye Feng and Qianyan who were playing not far away, they both breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Jixing stepped forward and squeezed Ye's hand.

Although he didn't say a word, Ye just felt a sense of peace of mind.

After a while, when Ye's mood calmed down, and seeing that many people were coming around the ox cart one after another, Chen Jixing greeted Ye Feng and Qianyan, and the family walked under the big banyan tree.

After waiting for a while, in the morning people in the same car came from all sides of the village, although they were not large bags, but a few dishes and the like, but without exception they were not empty-handed.

Everyone got together and chatted.

The ox cart is finally coming, although it has not yet arrived, but from the big yellow cow's "moo" cry from far and near, Ye Feng felt it, it sounded really full of energy, and it seemed that it was really full of food and drink.

So, after packing their luggage, the family was ready and rushed to the ox cart as soon as possible. When I came in the morning, I didn't get a good spot because they were the last to arrive.

Now, they were among the first to wait for the bus, so they should be able to grab a good spot.

He was fed up with that feeling of grievance.

It's just that what Ye Feng didn't know was that on this same ox cart, from the beginning of the morning to the time when he went back, he met with his biological father and mother who he wanted to find all the time in his life, but who had been emotionally estranged all his life.

It was on this ox cart that went back that Ye Feng also waited for someone who loved him all his life but was his brother's biological father.

The fate is so intertwined, in fact, it is destined from the nameless temple.

It's just that he only learned about these things later.

And the regrets of this life are difficult to make up for after all.

It's a pity that the reality is too cruel, compared to Chen Jixing's honesty and Ye's generosity, the rest of the people don't pay attention to these at all. At the critical moment, relying on speed and cheekiness, like Chen Jixing, he has no combat effectiveness at all.

Although Ye Feng ran fast, he couldn't hold people down, and he was too thin and short to squeeze in at all. Therefore, it is no surprise that the position of Ye Feng's family is the worst, and no one wants to sit in the middle position at all.

Or rather, a little bit of the place found in the cracks.

Because everyone came empty-handed in the morning, the ox cart was also crowded, but it was still comfortable.

Now, every passenger has something to carry, so the already narrow bullock cart is becoming more and more crowded.

Ye Feng was originally going to sit with Ye Shi and Qianyan, but that place was too crowded, and an old man who smoked a cigarette was enjoying the good feeling brought by tobacco leaves, completely ignoring the fact that the entire "carriage" was already smoky, Ye Feng had to get up from his seat to breathe.

When he came in the morning, because he got up too early, he was sleepy as soon as he got in the car, so Ye Feng slept all the way.

So on the way home, even if there is no place and it is "difficult" in the car, Ye Feng plans not to sleep, but to take a closer look at the customs along the way.

It's not that he cares about the world, it's just that learning more about the people's feelings is also good for future business.
