The next day, August 14 of the lunar calendar, the Mid Autumn Festival will soon be over.
For people today, the festival is still very grand.
Spring Festival, gift giving Festival, that is sure to, we will also have a rest in these two days, visit relatives, eat something good.
These days, everyone is busy buying holiday supplies. Many people go to the county, but the daily sales of lottery tickets have reached about 100000 again.
Zhang Qianxiu is busy arranging lottery tickets and rice shops these days.
The whole family will definitely go back for the Mid Autumn Festival. There will be no time to manage the lottery and the rice shop.
The lottery ticket is easy to handle. The lottery ticket is packed with a secret number inside. The box is numbered and then given to sun Daxi. Sun Daxi sells the box according to the number.
As for the accounts, sun Daxi is in charge for the time being. After the Mid Autumn Festival, he will clean them up.
Zhang Qianxiu estimates that after the Mid Autumn Festival, the sales of lottery tickets will drop again, and the daily sales may drop to below 50000. Now the weather is already a little cold, and people in rural areas will not have to go to the city.
At that time, Zhang Qian was just ready to clear the general ledger.
As for the rice shop, Zhang Qianxiu thought about whether to have a holiday or let Liu Biao keep it. He asked Liu Biao for his opinion.
Liu Biao didn't say a word, and immediately agreed to help keep the shop. Because of Huang YA'NAN's illness, some of his relatives were afraid that they would borrow money, so they didn't have much contact with each other. On the Mid Autumn Festival, he just had to take a half day off to send zongzi to their parents.
Zhang Qianxiu didn't show any affectation. He had hoped to be able to do business. He immediately promised to pay three times the salary for three days. Although the money was not much, it was also Zhang Qianxiu's attitude.
As long as you are willing to follow me, you will not be treated badly.
At noon, school holiday, Su Yuwei came back.
Zhang Qianxiu happened to be going to Shangling village to see he daoxun and Ji yinyao. Su Yuwei was curious for a long time, so she went with him.
Zhang Qianxiu drove to Shangling village and parked the car. The door of he daoxun's house was open. As soon as he walked in, he daoxun and Ji yinyao were sitting in the courtyard of the courtyard, basking in the sun and chatting.
"Old he, Granny Ji." Zhang Qianxiu came into the door carrying things.
When he daoxun heard Zhang Qianxiu's voice, he turned his head and looked at it, his face immediately brightened: "Qianxiu! Go and get the stool, old lady. "
Zhang Qianxiu quickly put things down: "Granny Ji, I'll take it myself. Just sit down."
"Nothing! don't worry! I'll get it for you. " Ji yinyao said with a smile.
Zhang Qianxiu couldn't help but walk two steps and took two chairs out.
Ji yinyao went to pour tea for them again.
Su Yuwei respectfully stood on the side, carefully looked at the layout of the house.
The old house of he daoxun's family has a history of more than 100 years. Even in the countryside, such a house is rare.
He daoxun's illness has been alleviated a lot, but it is impossible to recover.
"Qian Xiu, is this little girl..." He daoxun asked.
Zhang Qianxiu joked: "Mr. He, let me introduce you. This is my future daughter-in-law, Su Yuwei. She heard about you and wanted to see you very much, so I brought her here today."
Su Yuwei secretly glared at Zhang Qianxiu and said, "Mr. He, don't listen to his nonsense. We are ordinary friends, but I admire him for what he said about you. I hope you don't mind."
Su Yuwei's words are a bit literal. Now people say it deliberately, but Su Yuwei's words are natural and not artificial, which makes he daoxun look at them with new eyes.
What's more, it can be seen from what two people said that their relationship should be unusual.
He daoxun smile: "don't mind, don't mind, we two old people keep this old house every day, dead, you come, add some vitality, I'm too happy."
"Sit down."
Ji yinyao came out with tea and snacks.
There are no snacks now, and the situation of he's family is not very good, so they are all fried pumpkin seeds and dried sweet potatoes. But Ji yinyao is a skillful person. Although she is old, the selling looks very good.
The pumpkin seeds are scorched but not pasted, and emit a faint fragrance.
The dried sweet potato is uniform in size, slightly red in yellow, and not very dry, which makes people feel appetite.
"Girl, Qianxiu, drink tea." Ji yinyao said with a smile.
They got up to take the tea and said thank you.
Zhang Qianxiu took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. He, tomorrow is the Mid Autumn Festival. I'm going back. I don't have time to see you these days, so I'll come to see the two elders ahead of time."
He daoxun took a look at the present brought by Zhang Qianxiu and Su Yuwei, a bag of moon cakes, some fruits and some meat.
With a sigh, he daoxun sighed and said, "Qian Xiu! I thought that my wife and I could only rely on each other for the rest of our lives. No one could talk to each other except my grandson. I didn't expect to know you again. Fortunately! "
Zhang Qianxiu said, "Mr. He, you are very polite. You are highly respected. I have benefited a lot from chatting with you."
He daoxun shook his head: "every time Mr. Ge came to give me acupuncture, he would bring me some food, and then he would stay to have some lunch."
"Ge is always a person who has been asked by the University. I feel inferior to myself. You are GE's Apprentice. I dare not mislead others with such details."
"It's very kind of you." In fact, Zhang Qianxiu is not very used to this kind of elegant way of chatting. He has a good relationship with his master, but he always feels that he can't let go of it.
Zhang Qianxiu doesn't want to talk to he daoxun in the way of business. He is better acquainted with Ge Qingshan than he daoxun. Zhang Qianxiu has long regarded Ge Qingshan as his own family.
Su Yuwei saw Zhang Qianxiu's unnaturalness and said: "he Lao, there is no limit to learning. In order to learn more and more, you and Ge Lao are people who have university questions. Confucius also said that there must be a teacher for three people. You and Ge Lao may have different knowledge, but we are far from you. No matter who we are with, we can learn something."
After hearing this, Zhang Qianxiu couldn't help but give Su Yuwei a look of approval. How flattering! And it's true.
He daoxun, a man like him, is really able to treat money like dirt. Although he has a poor life, he can give himself a set of precious porcelain.
People like he daoxun have seen through a lot of things. When we chat with him, we can feel the "emptiness" of Buddhism and the "nature" of Taoism.
If it wasn't for his grandson's sake, Zhang Qianxiu estimated that he would not have sold the wood or sold the antiques.
When he daoxun heard this, he was still a little happy. He talked with Ge Qingshan and thought that his knowledge, mind and vision were inferior to those of Ge Qingshan. But Su Yuwei's words made him feel that there was still some truth.
"Miss Su, you are also the beautiful girl of heaven! It's not too much to say that you are as beautiful as orchid in temperament and more talented than immortal in talent
"I'm flattered. I've only read a few books, but I don't deserve it. It's he who, though he is old, has ten thousand volumes of books in his heart. It's just that" Mo daosang and Yu are late, and the sky is full of clouds. " Su Yuwei praised he daoxun again.
He daoxun gave a burst of hearty laughter: "Miss Su, we don't flatter each other. It seems that Miss Su is also familiar with poetry."
"I just looked around and remembered a few words." Su Yuwei said.
Although Su Yuwei and he daoxun met for the first time, they had a good chat, from poetry to classics, to history, and finally to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Su Yuwei knows a lot about classics, history and poetry, and Zhang Qianxiu knows them. But unexpectedly, Su Yuwei also knows a lot about Qin, Qi, calligraphy and painting, especially Qin, Qi and Shu.
As soon as he was happy, he proposed the next round.
Zhang Qianxiu doesn't know go. When he daoxun and Su Yuwei play chess, they make tea for them on the side.
Zhang Qianxiu often drinks tea with Ge Qingshan. He is good at making tea.
In the first game of go, Su Yuwei lost, but he daoxun spoke highly of her.
After having dinner with he daoxun, he gave Su Yuwei a zither.
"Xiao Su, this guzheng is not an antique, but it's well made. I'll give it to you." He daoxun said.
"Mr. He, this guzheng is too valuable, and I only know a little about the temperament, but I'm not proficient in it." Su Yuwei said.
"Good birds choose trees to live in. This guzheng is still good. I always want to find a virtuous person for it. I think this person is Xiao Su you." He daoxun said solemnly.
Su Yuwei was in a dilemma. Finally, Zhang Qianxiu said, "girl, take it!"
After listening to Zhang Qianxiu's words, Su Yuwei accepted the guzheng: "thank you, Mr. He."
"I should thank you both. Qian Xiu has let me worry about common things. If Xiao Su can accept the zither, I'll have a worry." He daoxun said.
The two sides politely, Su Yuwei accepted guzheng, thanks again.
He daoxun didn't send them because of his health. Ji yinyao sent them to the door.
Just as Zhang Qianxiu and Su Yuwei were about to get on the bus, Ji yinyao suddenly came up and said, "Qianxiu, Xiao Su, there's something I want to ask you."
When Ji yinyao said this, she obviously hesitated.
Zhang Qianxiu and Su Yuwei both stopped. Zhang Qianxiu asked, "Granny Ji, as long as we can do it."
Ji yinyao said: "well, in his early years, the old man read the books of sages, but he was more interested in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his attainments were not low. He wanted to learn from our grandson, but although my grandson was intelligent, he was not interested in them. Later, he was not willing to learn them."
"The old man is most afraid that he can't let our grandson finish his studies. Now with Qian Xiu's promise, he's left something on his mind; Now he most wants to find an apprentice to teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It's not in vain that no one inherits what he has learned. "
"The old man looks at Xiao Su differently today. I can see that he wants to accept Xiao Su as an apprentice. He wants to open his mouth several times, but he can't help it. He's very attentive and afraid that outsiders will talk too much. He says that we have no one to support us, so he deliberately takes an apprentice to be filial to his descendants."
"If Xiao Su is willing, just follow the old man to learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He doesn't have to take care of us because of his position as a master and apprentice. The old man won't regret his death."
"Think about it, Sue. I don't want to force you to do it."
Su Yuwei takes a look at Zhang Qianxiu.
Zhang Qianxiu has no opinion. As long as Su Yuwei is willing to learn, he daoxun's attainments in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not bad.
"Granny Ji, I promise. Now I'll talk to old he?" Su Yuwei asked.
Ji yinyao waved her hand and said, "today is not good. If you go back to worship, he will surely guess that I told you. When you come here some other day, don't let him see it. I said it, and he will certainly agree. "
"Well, we'll come after the Mid Autumn Festival." Zhang Qianxiu said.
"Good! Take your time, and I'll see you off soon. "
