56. Porcelain procurement

On December 8th, the weather became colder, yesterday was the solar term of heavy snow, there was nothing fun in the provincial capital, Zhao Zhibao decided to go to the porcelain capital, he chose to take a car.

In the car, Zhao Zhibao recalled the situation of going to the 15th to say goodbye last night. When he came to No. 15 and said that he was leaving, he didn't expect Qiu Changfu's family to enthusiastically keep him, and he was reluctant. Qiu Changfu said: "Little brother! What a miracle doctor! I'm convinced! What kind of balls of yours is very good, it simply made me go back to 30 years ago, please leave contact information! ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "If there is anything, just look for my sister!" ”

The most reluctant Zhao Zhibao is Qiu Lianhua. She kept sending her out of the house, and took one of Zhao Zhibao's hands and said, "Big brother! Please don't forget our pact, I must work with you (not to mention the apprentice)! ”

Zhao Zhibao could only say again: "Okay! Obedient! When my clinic is established, the first person to recruit is you, okay? ”

"Big brother! Good to go! Qiu Lianhua finally let go of Zhao Zhibao's hand. "Goodbye!" "Sullen back to the 15th.

Zhao Zhibao went to the 15th, and Xia Lotus was speechless. Zhao Zhizhen only said: "Yes, after all, everyone has been together for a day, go and say goodbye, be polite." Xia Lotus was still speechless.

Seeing that Zhao Zhibao was silent in the car, Xia Lotus asked: "Do you still remember!" It must have been cozy last night! ”

"Don't you feel warm?"

"I mean you go to the 15th."

"Of course! Actually, you should also go, after all, people drove us and sent us to play for a day. ”

"Are you good with Sister Lotus?"

Zhao Zhibao said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Am I going to do something unseemly in front of his family? What nonsense! I went for only a few minutes and came back with a saying of goodbye and didn't do anything! You're such a vinegar jar, a big vinegar jar! ”

Xia Lotus wanted to say something, but there was no evidence, and Zhao Zhibao was ashamed, and she was really speechless!

Silently drove all the way to Jingdezhen, found a hotel to live in, went to eat, and began to go shopping after eating.

Jingdezhen is known as the porcelain capital, and the porcelain is world-famous

a" means China, and also porcelain. Porcelain is equal to China, which shows the great reputation of Jingdezhen! Other urban decorations are wall charts made of paper (wood); And the decoration of Jingdezhen is all porcelain. The things depicted in porcelain are permanently unfading, with mountains, water, flowers, birds, and figure paintings. Like the paintings of the four beauties, they are simply priceless! On the cabinet and on the shelf are all kinds of porcelain products, which are dazzling, and there are various figures and animals for people to enjoy. There are two large porcelain vases placed at the door, one is a sable cicada worshipping the moon, and the other is a Xi Shi Huansha. There is a larger porcelain vase in the middle of the hall, which depicts a picture of the river during the Qingming Festival.

Zhao Zhibao looked at a few houses, all of them were beautifully decorated, and a few of them even decorated the ground with golden brilliance, walking on them seemed to be stepping into the clouds, it was like going to heaven!

Zhao Zhibao was dumbfounded and amazed. In the end, I want to buy some porcelain for daily use, and I can't put it down. Bowls, plates, cups, saucers, all enticing! If you have money, you can't wait to get it all (you can't get it back if you have money)! In the end, 4 teacups were chosen: fragrant, floating, four, and season, which is a group. Take home Dad, Mom, yourself, Xia Lotus, one for each of the 4 people. I bought another set of small bowls, 10 pcs. It was all packed by the salesman and taken back to the hotel.

Xia Lotus said happily: "This is better than visiting the park, the park in winter is bare, there are no flowers, no birds, it is really tasteless!" ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "Yes! It's because we chose the wrong season and will come back in the spring! The two also discussed, bought some souvenirs and went back, and gave them to Liu Hei.

So I went to the street again and bought a set of tea sets, a teapot. A large basin with 4 teacups.

Xia Lotus asked, "Do you want to buy some souvenirs for my parents?" ”

"Oh! That's right! It should be, it should be! How did I forget your mom and dad? Forget your father, forget your mother, and you can't forget your mother-in-law! I don't have an opinion on what you buy! Zhao Zhibao said.

Xia Lotus took the lead and once again walked into the porcelain shop. She doesn't know exactly what to buy! It can only be while looking, choosing, deciding, looking left, looking right, and finally choosing a vase. The vase is blue and white porcelain. The exterior painting of a lady picking flowers, seems to be blue and. People are beautiful and gorgeous, they are very beautiful in themselves, if they are inserted with flowers, it is really icing on the cake, beautiful! Xia Lotus said: "It's just a little expensive." ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "The price is not a problem, as long as you like it!" Just buy this! "The final decision was made by Zhao Zhibao. Xia Lotus accepted it with satisfaction.

The trip to Jingdezhen was for fun, but also for purchasing, porcelain was not easy to carry, they put it in the suitcase, wrapped a few layers with clothes to feel at ease.

With a lot of porcelain, it was inconvenient to play anymore and decided to return early.

On December 9, it only took an hour and a half to get to Pingle County by car from Jingdezhen (including a short walk to the station), about two hours. They got in the car at 8 a.m., and after 10:00 a.m., they returned to their new home.

I opened my luggage and looked at the porcelain, and fortunately, nothing was damaged. Tidy up and it's noon.

Zhao Zhibao carried the medicine box on his back, took the gift and Xia Lotus to the "Stomach Hall" for dinner, and gave a set of tea sets to Wu Zijuan and said, "This is for you!" What about Brother Liu? ”

Wu Zijuan said happily: "Go to my house!" Don't you see, I'm getting fat? He said as he accepted the gift.

Xia Lotus said: "Sister-in-law, where are you fat!" It's a big belly, right? ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "Sister-in-law! You're pregnant. Come on, I'll show you! ”

Wu Zijuan said: "Don't look at it! I've already been to the hospital, I have a big reaction, I don't know if it's sick, so I went to the hospital, you're not at home, I can only go to the hospital! ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "Brother Liu is really amazing! I was a dad before I did. ”

Wu Zijuan said: "So, you are going to be a father too?" ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "It's a matter of time, I don't know yet!" Zhao Zhibao didn't want to tell others early.

"Brother Zhao! You're back! Liu Hei is back, followed by Wu Zijuan's mother.

"Mom! There you are! Wu Zijuan shouted Mom first.

"Hello Auntie!" Zhao Zhibao greeted Zijuan's mother first.

"Good, good! I heard that the two of you went on a trip, why did you come back? Zijuan's mother said.

"Came back, just arrived. Winter is cold and not suitable for tourism. Just came back early. Zhao Zhibao said.

Zhao Zhibao thought: Liu Hei invited his mother-in-law to take care of Wu Zijuan, and he reacted to the need for help. So he said, "Congratulations! I'm going to be a grandmother! ”

"You're fast, aren't you?" Zijuan's mother said.

"No hurry, no hurry!" Zhao Zhibao still did not announce.

They chatted with each other for a while and then started eating. Zhao Zhibao greeted the chef Hong Tianming again, greeted the staff, and then ate.

In the afternoon, Zhao Zhibao and his family went back to their new house to meet their parents.

Zhao Yuanqing said: "Came back early? ”

"Almost! Are you all okay? Zhao Zhibao asked.

"Very good! Three meals a day, eat and play, play when you are hungry, and eat when you are hungry, there is nothing wrong with it! Qian Doudou said.

"Mom! You're whining! I'll find you something to do! Make some clothes for my son! Zhao Zhibao said.

"What? Good son! You've got a son! Qian Doudou said a little surprised.

"What is this, getting married and having children, this is inevitable. Don't you want to be a grandma? Zhao Zhibao said.

"Hopefully! Hopefully, there is. How do you know you're pregnant with a son? It's only been 10 days since I got married! I don't believe it! Qian Doudou said.

"Mom! Who is your son? He is a brilliant doctor! Others can't, I can diagnose the germination of seeds, for sure! If not, we bet! Zhao Zhibao said.

"Look at what you said so confidently, Mom believes it." He turned around and said to Xia Hehua: "Flowers! Do you have any reaction? ”

"Nothing happens! To say that there is a reaction, is a little tired! Xia Lotus told the truth.

"It's normal to be a little tired, just take a break! Normal, normal! Qian Doudou said.

Xia Lotus was a little embarrassed, and her face turned red.

"Mom! Why do you ask so clearly? What I'm looking for you, are you still happy to do? Zhao Zhibao helped Xia Lotus to relieve the siege.

"Do, do, do! That's it! Qian Doudou said.

"That's good, Mom and Dad! There are two cups for you to drink tea. Zhao Zhibao brought the two teacups and gave them to Qian Doudou.

"It's so pretty!" Qian Doudou took it in his hand and admired it.

"Mom! These are two of the set, and we kept two. There is a word on each cup, called incense, floating, four, season, and Dad's is incense; Mom's is floating; Mine is four; Flowers are in season. From big to small: the fragrance floats through the four seasons. There is also a set of bowls, a total of 10 pieces, for eating. "Took out the bowl and gave it to Qian Doudou.

Before Qian Doudou opened the package, he said, "Okay! This is enough for the visitors. ”

Zhao Zhibao asked: "Mom! Do we have a lot of customers? ”

Qian Doudou said: "Not much! I'm saying that more guests are enough, just in case. ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "Mom and Dad! Nothing happened, and we left. ”

Xia Lotus also said: "Goodbye Mom and Dad!" ”

57. Visit your parents-in-law

On the way back, Zhao Zhibao said: "I will go to your house tomorrow, what do you think you need to buy?" ”

Xia Lotus said: "You can do it!" I don't know! ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "Then let's beat a few bags of fruits!" I heard that the township is very fashionable. ”

Xia Lotus said: "Listen to you! ”

So they went to the food store and bought 4 packs of fashionable pastries, each with a piece of red paper pasted on it, to show their festivities.

On December 10, Zhao Zhibao stepped on a tricycle and took Xia Lotus to his mother-in-law's house for the first time. Due to Zhao Zhibao's poor cycling skills, he almost overturned several times. Tricycles are more difficult to grasp the direction than bicycles, especially if the turn is sharp, it is easy to overturn. Zhao Zhibao's strength is great, the speed of the car is fast, and the turning is especially dangerous, so scared that Xia Lotus screamed, and said: "Zhibao! Save some effort, ride slowly, and don't break your son! The two of them talked and laughed all the way, and the distance of nearly 20 miles took less than an hour to arrive.

Qizhen is a small rural town with a population of less than 10,000, but the mountains and rivers are beautiful! The mountains are not high but the water is clear. There is also a large lake behind the town, so there are still a few fishermen in the town, which is a good place to live. The air here is fresh and the people are simple.

Xia Bin, Xia Lotus's father, is a worker in a town-run machinery factory. Liu Ruyue, Xia Hehua's mother, is a teacher in a town-run primary school. Xia Bin's parents died early, and it can also be said that he was an orphan, but he was blessed to have a house (2 bedrooms and 1 living room) left by his parents. Liu Ruyue's family conditions are a little poor, with parents and several brothers. The brothers are not good at studying, but it is okay to have a flower and willow like the moon, but it is only at the junior high school level. Before liberation, there were few women who studied. But housing is tight, two brothers get married, and the house is not enough to live! After the eldest got married, he went out to live in a rented house. The second child lives with the eldest when he gets married. Liu Ruyue is the third child, and she is also older, and she has no housing with the fourth brother. Liu Ruyue can get married, and the fourth child can only live in the kitchen.

Liu Ruyue also married Xia Bin at the age of 17. They are neighbors and alumni. Liu Ruyue is at least 5 times shorter than Xia Bin. Xia Bin was 23 years old and unmarried, he was an older young man at that time, just an apprentice. But he has a house, which makes Liu Ruyue jealous and envious. From jealousy to envy to marriage, is this love? It's hard to say! Haven't all of our ancestors come this way? This is reminiscent of the combination of Zhao Zhibao and Xia Lotus, is this love? That's an afterword.

Zhao Zhibao and his family arrived in Qizhen, but they couldn't enter the house: General Tie locked the door. Xia Lotus said: "Zhibao! You just wait in the car while I go to school and get my mom the keys. Xia Lotus got off the bus and went to school.

As the saying goes, a woman who marries out spills water. When a daughter marries someone else, it is like spilling water out and not being able to take it back; It's understandable that I won't care about her anymore in the future. Like Liu Ruyue, Xia Lotus went out and even took back the door key to the house. Or did Xia Lotus forget to bring the key herself? Waiting to be studied.

The wait was not long, and Liu Ruyue came back with Xia Lotus. Zhao Zhibao stepped forward and shouted Mom, and there was no follow-up. Liu Ruyue took out the key to open the door, and Zhao Zhibao took the gift and entered the door. Xia Lotus poured a glass of water for Zhao Zhibao. Liu Ruyue said: "We didn't know that you were coming, and we didn't prepare at all. You sit down for a while, and I'll go buy some food. ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "Mom! Don't be busy! When Dad comes back, let's go out to eat together! ”

Liu Ruyue's mother and daughter neither objected nor agreed. I only heard Liu Ruyue say to Xia Lotus: "Flowers! I'm going to call your dad to go! You are waiting at home. Obviously, Liu Ruyue can't be the master. Hurried to the machine factory.

This kind of situation, called Zhao Zhibao, who came to the door for the first time, is a little unpleasant! As the saying goes: When the mother-in-law sees Lang (son-in-law), her ass does not stick to the bed! It means that when the mother-in-law saw her son-in-law coming, she was very busy and couldn't get along, and she warmly entertained her son-in-law, and she didn't even have time to sit for a while.

The mother-in-law hurts her son-in-law, she hurts her daughter and loves her daughter! Do you think, if the mother-in-law is not good to her son-in-law, will his daughter have a better time at her mother-in-law's house? In fact, Liu Ruyue is good to Zhao Zhibao, but today she panicked and messed up. Of course, the reason why Liu Ruyue (including Xia Bin) is good to Zhao Zhibao, or the purpose, is a bit impure! As Liu Ruyue said, she wants to sleep in the crescent bed of her new home. As for others, for example, the temptation for money is not also manifested! More on that later.

The two of them didn't say anything, Xia Lotus was originally a little girl. It can be said that he does not understand the sophistication of human feelings. How to entertain guests, she is not clear. Liu Ruyue taught her a sentence that was to treat Zhao Zhibao well. Based on this, Xia Lotus said: "Zhibao! We're sorry for the mess in our house! ”

"It's not your fault! It's true that we didn't expect our parents to go to work. There's no way, greet them first. Zhao Zhibao took responsibility himself.

After a while, Xia Bin and his family came back. I can't help but call my dad or something. When he found the gift on the table, he said, "This vase is so beautiful!" How much does it cost? ”

"Dad! Gadgets, don't cost much. Zhao Zhibao hurriedly said.

"Look! I also bought a lot of snacks, what a waste! We don't have any children. Liu Ruyue said.

"It's for you adults, it's not worth much." Zhao Zhibao explained.

Seeing that the situation was not ready to have Chinese food, Zhao Zhibao proposed: "Now we will go to eat Chinese food!" Flower! You are familiar with it, lead the team to find the best restaurant. ”

Qi Zhen is a small town, what is the best restaurant? A place to eat is just fine. Xia Hehua hadn't eaten out either, so she didn't know anything about it, so a group of 4 of them ordered a few of the best dishes in a restaurant (no restaurant) and had a meal. Xia Bin also pretended to pay the bill, but was stopped by Zhao Zhibao.

After eating, as a walk, a group of 4 people swam to Qizhen. There is nothing to see or play, the only thing to play is boating and swimming in the lake. Considering that Xia Bin and his wife have to go to work in the afternoon. Zhao Zhibao didn't mention it. So he walked back to He's house, and Zhao Zhibao proposed to return very well.

The first visit to my mother-in-law's house ended.
