Chapter 36 [Second Piece of Ancient Porcelain]
Uncle Wu lives in a new residential community on the west side of Lize Bridge that has just been completed.
With a tower of more than 30 floors, he lives in a northwest three-bedroom apartment on the seventh floor. Because Teacher Xi was timid and afraid of taking the elevator, we climbed up the stairs. Nowadays, although the housing prices in Beijing are falling, every inch of land is still valuable. Such a good commercial housing building can never be obtained without two million. I know that this trip is difficult, unlike Uncle Zhou. I can see that Uncle Wu’s family does not lack tens of thousands of dollars at all. As for whether the fragments can be obtained, I am really unsure.
Dingdong... Dingdong... Dingdong... Dingdong...
After ringing his doorbell, Teacher Xi blinked his clear eyes at me: "It's really not worth the broken porcelain piece, it's still time to go back now."
"It's all here." I touched my nose embarrassedly: "Don't worry, I will definitely not cause you any trouble."
Click.
The dark green thick fire door opened, and a light fishy smell squeezed out from the cracks of the door.
Uncle Wu, who I had met on TV, was standing at the door, looking less than fifty years old, with a long face and a high nose bridge, and he looked like a successful person. He looked at me strangely, and didn't ask much. He opened the security door and asked Xi Mansha and me into the house. After I changed my slippers, Uncle Wu asked behind me: "Teacher Xi, who is this?"
He should like ornamental fish very much.
I saw that the walls on the north and east of the living room were filled with partition glass fish tanks. There were at least a dozen, all of which were equipped with bottom cabinets, filters and light boxes. There were net bags on the long cabinet next to it, sea salt, and fish insects. Looking into the fish tank, colorful angelfish, American short snapper, blue sword sand, golden dragon and silver dragon, Brazilian turtle...
Raising fish is good and can cultivate one's own character.
Xi Mansha sighed, "The student in our class is named Gu Jing. I don't know where you heard that there are fragments of ancient porcelain in your house, so I insisted on following me to see it. Well, you can talk. Xiaodong is in the inner room, I'll go to tutor him." After that, Teacher Xi walked towards the small door on the left with the chestnut red high-end wooden floor.
When Ximansha entered the room, Uncle Wu called me to sit on the black leather sofa in the living room and poured a cup of tea.
I added to Teacher Xi's words just now: "Hello Uncle Wu, I'm taking the liberty to bother. Well, I heard from Uncle Zhou's house that you have a piece of Yuan blue and white fragments. If possible, can I take a look?"
"I know you, you took away the fragments of Uncle Zhou, right?" Uncle Wu had no special expression on his face. He pushed the fruit plate at me, which contained cut kiwis, bananas, and watermelons. "He called me last night and said he scolded his son. Haha, I guess he is still angry now. You don't know that this piece of porcelain was given by Uncle Bai, I'm so forgot about my age. Well, it's okay to see, but it's impossible to sell it."
From that TV show, I knew that Uncle Wu and Uncle Zhou were two people who valued feelings. Because in the reporter's follow-up report, Uncle Bai's son almost only expressed his intention. Uncle Wu and Uncle Zhou returned the ancient porcelain pieces to him without taking any money, without asking for a penny.
In the bedside table in Uncle Wu’s bedroom, I saw the fragments of Yuan blue and white.
This ancient porcelain contains part of the porcelain mouth and three patterned decorative layers, inlaid with blue flowers, which is slightly larger than Uncle Zhou’s piece.
I held it in my hand and looked at it for a long time, put it back reluctantly, turned around and asked nonsense: "Can you give it to me?"
"I've just said it." Uncle Wu smiled and shook his head: "It's not a question of whether or not you are rich, don't sell it."
Alas, I knew it was not that easy. I sighed in my heart, thinking about how to convince Uncle Wu, and returned to the living room with him. Originally, I should have said goodbye to leave in this situation, but ancient porcelain pieces were too important to me, so I could only continue to sit down on the sofa with a thick face. Uncle Wu did not knock me away because of Xi Mansha's face. We talked about flowers, birds, fish and insects in a mess.
Not long after, Uncle Wu's lover returned from buying groceries. A middle-aged woman under 50 years old, with short hair and very energetic.
Uncle Wu told his lover about my shopping tiles and mentioned that I was a student of Ximansha.
Aunt Wu didn't say anything else, but said politely: "Gu Jing, right? Don't leave at noon. I'll stew some chicken wings for you."
"How can I be embarrassed?" I waved my hands repeatedly.
"It's okay, your teacher Xi also stayed for dinner." She looked at the living room watch: "Look, it's time to go to dinner, listen to aunt." Aunt Wu put the long eggplant and chicken wings he bought into the kitchen. After two minutes, she walked out and said to Uncle Wu: "Can the 'golden warship' that died in the first two days be eaten? I put it in the refrigerator, why not, I'll stew it? It's four or five kilograms of big fish."
"Get it." Uncle Wu laughed and said, "That's an ornamental fish. Don't get sick anymore. Just throw it away as soon as possible."
Aunt Wu shouted: "I have freed up a fish tank. I will buy a red dragon when I have time. I like that fish very much."
"Beautiful is beautiful." Uncle Wu frowned: "But the better red dragon is worth tens of thousands, which is too expensive. It's better to raise some small fish. I don't like it so much, it's so tough."
Aunt Wu glanced at him in a depressed mood, and turned back to the kitchen without saying a word.
Red Dragon? The speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional, and I secretly remember it in my heart.
At about twelve o'clock, Xi Mansha and Xiaodong walked out of the bedroom. Xiaodong's hair was longer than his mother, and it was partial. We all had a brief chat. Uncle Wu and his wife went to the kitchen to start cooking, and Xiaodong also went to help. When I had nothing to do, I squatted in front of the fish tank with my knees and watched the fish.
Teacher Xi said: "Since Brother Wu doesn't want to sell it, don't beg for nothing. Go home after dinner, do you know?"
I nodded and didn't say much.
Ring .
The cell phone in Ximansha's bag rang. She looked at the caller ID first, then looked at me, turned to the sofa, and answered the phone, and said how soft it was. "Hey... well, I'm at Brother Wu's house... Yes, tutor... What did you go to get up in the morning, why didn't you answer my phone... Ah, no, no, I have no other intentions, just ask casually... You, don't be angry, I'm wrong, I, I won't ask questions in the future, really..."
I saw Teacher Xi looking like she was about to cry through the reflective surface of the glass of the fish tank.
"Don't hang up, don't hang up...I, I'm not meant to do it. Please forgive me, please."
After a while, Ximansha put down her cell phone with relief and looked at me, her face turned red.
I didn't think there was anything wrong and said, "Your boyfriend?"
"Not yet." Teacher Xi pouted and shook his head: "...You know I have a heart disease. In addition, I look so pretty, he and his parents don't like me. Oh, I don't know if it can happen."
Uh, you don’t look good? Then what’s the best thing to look good?
