The years are the most unforgiving, Lin Chengguo caressed every siding with his hand, and when he looked at every corner, that kind of sentimental and nostalgic eyes could not be pretended.

"It's different, it's different!" Lin Chengguo muttered, "The door panel has been changed, and the window has also been changed." ”

Xiao Zhengping stepped forward and said softly: "Uncle Lin, if you are willing, I can redecorate this place as before." ”

Lin Chengguo waved his hand when he heard this, and said with a slight smile: "There's no need for that, it's just a roof shell, and what you pretend to be is also used to make wine." ”

"Uncle, I plan to keep this house as it is, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will buy this row of houses, and if I don't get here, it will become a place of interest in the future."

"Hehe, you don't have to draw a pie with me, I just want to pass on Guo's cripple craftsmanship and earn money for my grandson's tuition."

"See, don't you draw a pie? However, I can guarantee that Guo Cripple's craftsmanship has always been in your Lin family. Have you ever heard of the term patent? ”

Lin Chengguo shook his head.

Xiao Zhengping continued, "The Patent Law has only recently been promulgated, so it's normal that you haven't heard of it. Let me tell you, now the state attaches great importance to people like your old man, and the patent law has been formed and officially promulgated and implemented. What does this mean, for example, to protect your family's brewing recipe, or other old Chinese medicine prescriptions, and stipulate that they can only be used by your family, or to whom you authorize them to use. ”

Lin Chengguo was stunned when he heard this, "There are still such rules?" Does this mean that Guo Cripple's formula can't be used by others? ”

Xiao Zhengping nodded, "That's what it means, and this is not a rule, it is a law, if someone else uses or steals your family's formula without your permission, we can sue him, make him lose money, and let him go to jail." ”

Lin Chengguo was overjoyed when he heard this, "This law is so good, my father has always been annoyed about it." ”

"Well, but it's not that simple. Patents have to be applied, and they have to go through layers of review and verification, and finally the formula can be protected after approval. Uncle, I think so, I will do the patent application, the owner of the patent is still you, when the time comes, you only need to give priority to authorizing me to use, or you simply take the patent as a shareholder, and we will cooperate to make Guo Lame a brand. Even if you're not happy with me or don't want to work with me, you can take back the recipe when the license expires. ”

Lin Chengguo thought for a while, turned his head to Xiao Zhengping and said seriously: "To be honest, I didn't have much hope for this time, I just wanted to see how well you were prepared." Now it seems that you are well prepared. In this way, I will go back first, although my brother and I are in favor of cooperation, but in the end it is up to the old man to make an idea, and I will seriously tell him after I go back, including what patent matters, you still have to wait for my letter. ”

Xiao Zhengping was not in a hurry, "No problem, I said, the wine shop is here, when the old man agrees, I will wait until when." ”

Subsequently, Lin Chengguo took Xiao Zhengping and others to take a turn around Nanxiang Street, introduced some allusions and interesting facts of the year, and then took the car back to Dexian Hotel.

Early the next morning, Xiao Zhengping sent him to the bus station and paid the fare out of his own pocket.

Seeing Lin Chengguo away, Xiao Zhengping did not leave in a hurry, and also left Chen Yan behind - not for anything else, Xu Xiaohui had already sent a letter before, and arrived in the county seat this afternoon.

What Xiao Zhengping didn't expect was that Professor Zhou Zheng and He Qiang also came over.

Xiao Zhengping originally planned to use Chen Yan's car to take the three of them back to Zhangshuya together, but suddenly two more people appeared, which immediately disrupted his plan.

In the end, once discussed, the five people could only be divided into two groups, three people drove and two people took the shuttle.

But when it came time to divide people, Xiao Zhengping realized that he was thinking too simply.

According to Xiao Zhengping's idea, the person driving is either himself or Chen Yan, so according to the order of the old and young, women and children, the people in the car should be Xu Xiaohui and Professor Zhou Zheng.

But He Qiang didn't do it, so he had to be with Xu Xiaohui.

Xiao Zhengping let Xu Xiaohui and Zhou Zheng take the bus, and he and Zhou Zheng took the shuttle.

This time, Xu Xiaohui quit again, saying that there was a reason to let the teacher take a ride and take the car by herself, and as a result, she pushed Zhou Zheng into the cab.

Xiao Zhengping was helpless, and said that they would simply take the car and take a ride with Chen Yan, who knew that when asked, the three of them would not be able to drive.

In the end, Xu Xiaohui lost her temper and forced He Qiang and Zhou Zheng into the cab, and then banged on the car door to ask Chen Yan to drive quickly, and then sent He Qiang away.

While waiting for the train at the station, Xiao Zhengping looked at Xu Xiaohui with a sad face and smiled: "What's the matter, why did you bring the two of them here?" ”

Xu Xiaohui glanced at Xiao Zhengping angrily, "You think I'm willing, one is my teacher, who said that he wanted to see the results, and I couldn't help but agree; Another ~~ Alas, the other one is simply a ghost, I invite the Buddha to cast a spell and can't drive him away, what do you want me to do? ”

"Hehe, I've given you a way, who can blame you for not doing it yourself?"

"What's the solution? Oh, I remember, let me find a partner. Alas~~ Where will people find it for a while! ”

"If you're willing to look for it, you'll find it. Haven't you heard that sentence, there is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of those who have a heart. ”

Xu Xiaohui stared at Xiao Zhengping at this time, and looked at it seriously, and suddenly smiled: "Why don't you give me a partner." ”

Xiao Zhengping was stunned, "Me? I have a daughter-in-law, and He Qiang doesn't know it. ”

"Hehe, I'm kidding you, okay, I finally got him away, and I always mention him, you don't think I'm annoying enough."

Then the two chatted a few more words, and the shuttle arrived.

Along the way, Xiao Zhengping found that Xu Xiaohui seemed to be very tired, not only did she not like to talk, but her eyes were blurred from time to time.

In the past, Xu Xiaohui also had the experience of going up the mountain with Zhou Zheng and He Qiang, and she was also distressed at that time, but she was not distressed like this.

"Hey," Xiao Zhengping patted Xu Xiaohui on the shoulder, "What's wrong with you?" Isn't it He Qiang, as for being so soulless? ”

Xu Xiaohui raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Zhengping, and barely held back a smile, "Pingzi, it's still hello, carefree, you can do whatever you want, unlike me, everything comes with me." ”

Xiao Zhengping was happy, "I'm carefree? You didn't see me worried! Okay, let's talk about it, what the hell is going on? ”

Xu Xiaohui seemed to hesitate, bit her lip and thought for a long time, and finally said: "To put it simply, my family forced me to marry He Qiang, and my teacher wanted to forcibly take my scientific research results. ”

One sentence completely stunned Xiao Zhengping, "What? ”

Xu Xiaohui sighed, "I should graduate this semester, and my parents asked me to get married immediately after graduation." As for my teacher, he wanted my paper to carry the names of other students, and he also had to sign his own name in front of me, just because the results would have a very considerable economic benefit. ”
