"You're out?"

"What's the difference between you and me?"

Jiang Haiyang glared at Jiang Xiaobai angrily, pouted and said.

Turning his head to look at Li Zhengwei, he said, "There is not only Li Yan in Qingshan Town, there is more than one stonemason, since he is gone, there are always others who do it." ”

Li Zhengwei nodded, "If there are really a lot of stonemasons in Qingshan Town, in addition to Li Yan, I heard that Wu Hua from Tangshan and Zhang Chenggang from Baiyang have good craftsmanship. ”

Jiang Haiyang said: "Then I'll go find Wu Hua or Zhang Chenggang another day." ”

Jiang Xiaobai interjected: "Dad, Tangshan and Bai Yang have also developed out-of-season vegetables. ”

Jiang Haiyang was stunned for a moment.

After a while, he came back to his senses and taught Jiang Xiaobai a lesson, "It's all you, the son of the back time, who has developed out-of-season vegetables everywhere, so that these stonemasons are no longer doing their jobs, and no one will make a monument when Lao Tzu dies in the future!" ”

Jiang Xiaobai was speechless for a while, and he could also blame himself for this.

Even without themselves, in a few decades, these traditional craftsmen will still choose to work in other industries that are easier and more lucrative to make a living.

But who let it be him who taught him a lesson?

Don't dare to talk back.

can only say in a soft tone: "Dad, the problems in this world that can be solved with money are not big problems. ”

Jiang Haiyang listened to it and felt that it seemed to make sense.

Li Zhengwei pouted, the problem that can be solved with money is certainly not a big problem.

The big problem is that there isn't that much money!

I thought everyone was like you, Jiang Million!

Jiang Million is the nickname given to Jiang Xiaobai by the people of Qingzhou.

Everyone in Qingzhou knows that Jiang Xiaobai is rich, but most people don't know how much money he has.

But the 10,000 yuan households can't show that Jiang Xiaobai is rich.

They felt that Jiang Xiaobai was worth one million yuan, so they gave him the nickname Jiang Million.

Jiang Xiaobai had also heard of this nickname, but never took it to heart.

Li Zhengwei said: "Brother Haiyang, now it seems that it is the same for any stonemason, and if the salary is less, no one will do it, so let's do it according to what Xiaobai said, just pay more." ”

If it were someone else's family, he would definitely not be so persuasive.

But Jiang Xiaobai's family is different, and it is really not bad for money.

Jiang Haiyang was helpless and said: "Forget it, it's more expensive, anyway, I promised my ancestors, so I can't help but do it!" ”

After speaking, he turned his head to Jiang Xiaobai and said, "I have to talk to your uncle and third uncle about this matter to see their attitudes." ”

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled, "Dad, if you think too much, the eldest uncle and the third uncle won't care, they will definitely agree." ”

Jiang Haiyang said: "It's one thing for them to not care, it's another thing for me to tell them, this is called human feelings, you can't tell the difference." ”

"Good, good, you will be human!" Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly said.

Jiang Haiyang snorted, ignored him, and said to Li Zhengwei: "Then let's go to Li Yan's house first and talk to him." ”

Li Zhengwei got up and said, "I'll take you there!" ”

Jiang Xiaobai also stood up.

Li Zhengwei led the way, Jiang Haiyang and Jiang Xiaobai followed, and the three of them walked towards Li Yan's house together.

Li Yan's house is not far from Li Zhengwei's house, about four or five hundred meters away, and the three of them first walked on an asphalt road of about 200 meters, then went down to a field road, and turned a corner.

Compared with Li Zhengwei's house, Li Yan's house is larger, and it is a pinch-shaped shape, which looks a little old, and it looks like it has been twenty or thirty years old.

In addition, most of the houses in the countryside in this era were built of tiles, but Li Yan's family was different, and his houses were all built with stone walls.

The couplets on the main door are slightly faded, and there are two stone pillars on the edge of the steps in front of the main house, each of which is carved with exquisite patterns, and some dried peppers and corn cobs are hung on the stone wall.

There is also a door on the left and right side houses, and there are hoes, baskets, hammers, horse forks and other farm tools on the wall.

Under the eaves of the corner of the main house and the side house, there is a large water tank on the left and right, which is also made of stone, and the pattern on it is exquisite. There is also a stone mill and a stone trough in the corner of the dam.

"Sure enough, it's a stonemason's home!"

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at it and said admiringly.

Li Zhengwei pointed to the two water tanks at the two corners of the dam, and said with a smile: "Those two water tanks are Li Yan's proud work, it is said that when Li Yan came to us, he gave Brother Zhengjun these two water tanks, and Brother Zhengjun took a fancy to him and recruited him as his son-in-law." ”

Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but glance at the two water tanks a few more times, they were really exquisite, and there were some traces of time.

Before he could take a closer look, a figure walked out of the room.

He was of medium height, dressed in a gray cloth coat with a black cloth belt around his waist, and his short hair was like a hedgehog's thorn, thick and straight roots, mixed with a hint of silver. The eyes are blazing, the bridge of the nose is straight, revealing a resolute temperament.

It is estimated that his skin is dark and rough due to years of exposure to the sun, his hands appear unusually strong, and his fingers are thick and powerful, covered with calluses and scars.

The person who came was Li Yan.

Li Zhengwei spoke first: "Li Yan, you are at home!" ”

"Uncle Zhengwei, why are you free?" Li Yan first said politely, then glanced at Jiang Haiyang and Jiang Xiaobai, and asked, "Who are?" ”

Li Zhengwei smiled and said, "They are my relatives. ”

Pointing to Jiang Haiyang, he said: "This is my third aunt, Jiang Haiyang of Jiangwan." ”

After speaking, he pointed at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "This is my aunt and nephew Jiang Xiaobai." ”

Jiang Haiyang immediately said politely: "Hello Master Li, everyone in Qingshan Town knows your name, please don't blame me if you take the liberty to visit." ”

As he spoke, he handed over a convenient bag, which contained a Huazi and a bottle of Yanghe Daqu.

As soon as Li Yan heard Jiang Haiyang speak, and saw him handing over something, he understood what was going on.

Usually those who came to ask him to do stonemason work would not be empty-handed, and would bring some gifts more or less.

If it were someone else, he would definitely refuse.

Now, he doesn't want to work as a stonemason.

Isn't it fragrant to grow out-of-season vegetables at home?

Although he had never seen Jiang Haiyang, he had long known that Jiang Haiyang was Li Zhengwei's third aunt, and he knew Jiang Xiaobai's name.

"It turned out to be Uncle Jiang!"

"What a rarity!"

Li Yan was polite to Jiang Haiyang, but his eyes couldn't help but look at Jiang Xiaobai.

This is a legendary figure in Qingzhou now.

I don't usually see anyone, but I didn't expect to come to my house today.

Li Yan was excited and happy.

didn't go to pick up the gift handed over by Jiang Haiyang, and greeted politely: "Uncle Jiang, Boss Jiang, when the two rare guests came to my house, I felt that my face was bright, where can I still accept the things of the two of you, hurry, hurry up and sit in the house." ”

While talking enthusiastically pulling Jiang Haiyang into the house, he turned back and shouted loudly into the house: "Mother-in-law, you are here, waiting for smoke and tea!" ”
