Chapter 7: The Mysterious Girlfriend
On the tabletop, the place where the wooden box containing the cigars was pressed was actually engraved with a pattern, although it was painted, but because the nicks were very deep, and the lines were thin and clear, the cigar box wore some patent leather, this pattern is very obvious, so that people can see all the details clearly at a glance, to put it bluntly, the resolution is very high.
It shows a shirtless man with long hair braided in braids, on one knee with his back to us, with a long staff in his right hand, facing a large tree.
To my surprise, the man held a turbidity pot in his left hand and held it high above his head. Obviously, Jiang Li also saw the pot in the picture, so he deliberately pointed it out to me. Unfortunately, the original carved wooden panels have been used to stitch together these small square tables, and what we see must be only a small part of the picture.
When the fat brother saw it, he immediately said to everyone, "Find it." ”
Everyone tacitly picked up the cigar boxes on everyone's couchside table and put them on the couch, and began to look for clues on the small square table.
After we carefully searched the front and back of each square table, we didn't see any patterns.
The waitress in the small hall at the door didn't know why, so she ran in and asked us what was going on.
I prevaricated and said, "My little sister's neck has fallen and has been found." ”
The waitress asked, "Would you like someone to help clean up?"
I said, "No, we'll do it ourselves." ”
She could only smile and walk back to the small hall, waiting for instructions.
All six of us have seen this kind of pot, and the importance of its appearance is self-evident. So when we put the objects in their places, we all went into contemplation.
According to my character, I don't seek to solve problems, and when I encounter doubts, I don't forget if I don't have an answer, and I don't go to great lengths to find an answer. But I was really curious that this turbidity pot appeared in such a strange form.
I dialed Uncle Yu's phone again, and as soon as the phone rang, Uncle Yu's voice came from there: "Xiaozhan, is there anything else?" I've already arranged it for the club, you just go directly, if there is anything that is not taken care of, you also educate and educate the waiters for your uncle, as soon as I am not there, they will turn the sky upside down. ”
I replied with a smile: "Uncle Yu, we are already in the clubhouse, chatting with friends in the smoking room, the service is very good, there is no problem." Just one thing, I'd like to consult with you. ”
Uncle Yu said: "If there is anything, you can say it quickly, there is nothing to shy away from your uncle, I am participating in a project bidding, to put it briefly." ”
I hurriedly said, "I saw a carved painting on the table in your smoking room, a man and a big tree, but they are all broken, I don't know where the wood for your small table came from?" ”
Uncle Yu thought for a while and said, "Oh, you said that, this thing still has something to do with you." ”
I asked suspiciously, "Does it have anything to do with me?" ”
Uncle Yu continued: "Yes, before the last renovation of my hotel, this small hall was my office, and there was a wooden screen in it, which said that it was old furniture from your mother's house. I liked it so much that I asked your father to come over. Later, when I was renovating, I saw that it was also old, so I asked the carpenters to use it, and I really didn't find out where they were used. Why do you ask this? ”
I understood the origin of this woodcut, so I said to my uncle: "Well, then I know, I just see that the pattern on it is very beautiful, and it is a pity to make a table." ”
After hanging up Uncle Yu's phone, I immediately dialed the international call again. After the phone was connected, my mother was very happy and asked me if I missed her or if I was experiencing something difficult. For the first time, I took the initiative to call her. I asked about the screen, but my mother didn't remember it at all, my father took the phone, first criticized and educated me for my crazy behavior outside, and then said that I really remember to give Uncle Guo a screen, and I forgot what it looked like. I had no choice but to hang up the phone in disappointment.
After I told everyone the results of the call, Jiang Li said: "It seems that your mother is not simple, there must be some big secret that I haven't told you, you go and ask your grandma." ”
I was embarrassed all of a sudden, I was adopted, let alone seen, I didn't even hear my mother mention grandma, I only knew that I was no longer alive, let me ask my grandma, kill me first, I had to shake my head helplessly.
Sister Hua said: "I have some ways to do this, my grandfather has cooperated with your parents for many years, and he should know the elders of your parents, if he can find my grandfather, I will ask, maybe I can ask some." ”
Sister Hua's method is feasible, but her grandfather, Mr. Hua, is a travel enthusiast, and he doesn't know which ravine to drill in for many years, and wants to find it, unless he is lucky enough to win five million, he can only wait for his grandfather with doubts.
Everyone was frowning, my mother's international call came again, I thought she remembered something, but I didn't expect there to be other things.
On the phone, my mother said, "Xiao, my mother has something to ask you." ”
I said, "Say it." ”
My mother said, "Have you seen the girlfriend you introduced?" What do you think? ”
I didn't know why, so I asked, "Where's my girlfriend?" I haven't seen it. ”
My mother pretended to be stern and said, "Nonsense, people have seen you, and Ruiqi said that they are very satisfied with you and get along with you well." ”
I was wronged for a while, and complained to my mother: "I really haven't seen it, how can I have any girlfriend?" ”
At this time, everyone around me stared at me, and only Yan Qiu was the only one who covered her mouth and had fun.
I immediately understood, so I said to my mother on the other end of the phone: "Oh, I know, people didn't tell me that I was introduced by you, we are getting to know each other, people are not bad, if there are any new trends, I will inform you immediately, don't worry." ”
My mother told me that I must be treated well, so I hung up the phone.
I looked at Yan Qiu with a smile, waiting for her reply.
Yan Qiu looked at me embarrassedly and said, "That's me." Rachel Richer. ”
I knew that the word came from Hebrew, so I smiled and said to her, "Ricky, little ewe, isn't it?" Adult, know how to find a partner? ”
Yan Qiu glared at me and said, "It also means to be kind and polite." It's as weird as you say. ”
I said angrily, "Hurry up, what's going on?" ”
Only then did Yan Qiu tell me her identity in detail.
She went to university abroad, majoring in archaeology, and her grandfather was Professor Chen, who taught us at the university. Professor Chen and my mother are old friends, so when Yanqiu was studying abroad, she received a lot of help and care from my mother, and at the same time recognized my mother as her godmother, and my mother always said that I was very good and let me be with Yanqiu.
This time, when she returned to China to see her grandfather, she took my photo and was immediately recognized by Professor Chen. She relied on my address and inquired with many parties, and only then did she catch up with me on the way to Xia Qiyuan Village.
I said how I always felt that she was hiding some secrets, it turned out that the root was here, she knew me in the first place, and she deliberately came to the door.
The explanation given by Yan Qiu was that she didn't want me to have any baggage, and hoped to get along with me harmoniously and get to know each other before talking about other things.
Although I am not very satisfied with her concealment, I do agree with her approach. If she had identified herself straight to the point, I might have been treated as a guest, and I wouldn't have had a deep friendship between us, but I haven't thought about falling in love or getting married for the time being.
Lu Shan was obviously not very happy, and didn't say a word from the beginning.
It's almost time, we ordered food to eat, the fat brother also asked to eat a whole fish feast, ordered Longjing tea and a few bottles of beer, abalone must be ordered, this is the focus he has been showing in front of Sister Hua, but this time the abalone is obviously not as big as the last time.
During the banquet, I asked Jiang Li again how he came out.
Jiang Li gave a vague answer, saying that her sister saved her, but she didn't say the specific process, only that her sister was stubborn and liked to act alone, and now she didn't know where to run, and her pace was always slow for her sister.
This meal was very pleasant, and it was also a perfect end to the big day of Fat Brother and Sister Hua.
After the meal, with the strength of the wine, I put my arm on Lu Shan's shoulder until I got into the car, which was also a small comfort to her.
Lu Shan reluctantly acquiesced, and Yan Qiu and Jiang Li moved to my house at the same time.
Jiang Li actually touched my quilt at night, I thought she had a problem with Zhou Tongtong, but I didn't expect her to come to me to talk about when to set off to find the big treasure.
Taking this opportunity, I also asked Jiang Li for some details, and said that I couldn't act rashly if I didn't know it.
She had no choice but to tell me in detail some important points that she hadn't expressed before.
