Chapter 559: One in a Million
Of course, that was just an episode. The people of the Nine Clans and the villagers of Tangjia Village,
After a lively hot pot banquet today.
It's time to do whatever you need to do in the afternoon. After all, the work in the workshop is piecework, and the more you do, the more you finish. The villagers should spend as little time as possible.
Shen Zhiqiu and his wife took Dahu and Erhu to clean the house again. After all, there were a lot of people coming in and out today, and there were a lot of fruit and vegetable peels.
After finishing all these, Dahu and Erhu went out to play, saying that they wanted to go to Fangshan with the other boys in the village to see if they could catch some rabbits or something.
Shen Zhiqiu and his wife lay down on the lounge chairs on the second-floor balcony and finally relaxed.
After he started working in the government office, the couple spent less and less time together.
Because except when they sleep at night, Shen Zhiqiu and Li Jingshu are surrounded by a group of people at any time.
Plus, he has fewer holidays now and comes back less often.
The two seemed to have endless things to talk about.
In fact, Lao Shen is a man who loves his family very much. He is willing to discuss many things with his family.
For example, right now, he is discussing with his wife: "Wife, let's buy a zither? Don't throw away our daughter's skill!"
"Will you play it after you buy it? Look at your daughter when she has nothing to do."
"Just buy it and play it. Besides, if we have a guzheng, and there are no other entertainment programs at the moment, let alone TV, wouldn't it be nice for the two of us to lie down and drink tea while your daughter plays a song beside us?
Also, if someone comes to visit us in the future and sees the guzheng on our balcony, it will look classy. "
As a result, his wife felt that he was too optimistic. As for listening to her daughter playing music, she probably bought it and could only play it a few times when she first bought it.
If it is left alone, it will only collect dust, so let her clean it. Old Shen is just giving her something to do.
"Wait until your daughter asks for it before buying it."
But Shen Zhiqiu still didn't give up. She said, "Wife, how about I buy you an erhu? If my daughter doesn't play the piano for me, will you play the erhu for me?"
However, before he could agree, Shen Fugui and Zhou Qian arrived. These two people took advantage of the fact that Shen Zhiqiu was at home today to settle the bill with him.
Look, it’s true. The time left for him and his wife is getting less and less.
However, as soon as Zhou Qian and Shen Fugui entered the house, they consciously took two pairs of slippers and put on them, because they both realized that the house had just been cleaned.
This is Zhou Qian's first time visiting this house.
I didn't settle the bill first, so I was dumbfounded when I came in.
Shen Zhiqiu demonstrated vividly what light decoration and heavy decoration are, especially for the working people in ancient times who saw them for the first time.
The thick satin cushions on the chairs, chaise longues, and backrests are in a reddish-brown brocade with gold patterns. The pillows and backrests are also in the same color.
The floor-to-ceiling windows in the hall, as well as the curtains and screens,
There were all kinds of teacups on the tea table, and all kinds of bottles and jars on the cabinet next to the wall. It was the first time I saw that the plates could be used in this way and could even be used as decorations.
But the pattern on the plate is really beautiful, with landscapes painted on it.
After seeing the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, as well as the reliefs on the entire wall.
Zhou Qian swallowed his saliva and said, "Fugui, pinch me, am I still alive?"
Shen Fugui was amused: "Don't talk about you, the decoration of my new house is similar to this one. I feel a little dazed when I live in it. I feel like I am not in the human world.
There is no relief mural in my house, and it was too hard to paint it. "
But what moved Zhou Qian the most was that the stairs from the first floor to the second floor were full of picture frames.
The painting in the frame showed a group of people including Shen Zhiqiu digging a well in the mountains to find water.
Some people catch cicadas, look for fruits, and even hunt wild boars and wolves.
There are even scenes of them fishing in the cave and celebrating the New Year.
“Are these what you experienced on the road?”
Seeing this, Shen Fugui's eyes were slightly red, and he continued without waiting for Shen Zhiqiu to answer:
"Yes, these paintings move me every time I look at them. If nothing else, I could talk to you all day about these paintings alone."
For everyone in the Jiuzu clan, every painting on the staircase wall is a long story.
Every thing contains so many ups and downs!
Just like they confronted Fu Huaian with the determination to die,
It was like they finally made it to the northern border, but were stopped at the city gate, and people thought they would have to separate if they wanted to enter the city.
Each and every one of them is what they have experienced and is a testimony to their perseverance.
In short, Shen Fugui, who said this, was excited. He even winked behind Zhou Qian's back, and then said with a grin:
“I still remember one time when I was eating meat not long after I fled famine, I said that life was better than before I fled famine.
But looking at the life I'm living now, I'm confused. How could I be so lucky to have a family member like my third child?"
Shen Zhiqiu had a smile on his face the whole time. He did not look embarrassed by the praise, nor did he look complacent, because he completely understood Shen Fugui's mentality.
This is also the mentality of all nine tribes.
But he really wanted to say to his fellow tribesmen: "We are helping each other."
After looking at the last painting, Zhou Qian asked, "Did you draw all these?"
Shen Zhiqiu shook his head: "My daughter drew this. How is it? Not bad, right?"
Zhou Qian: "That's great. I really envy you for having such a daughter."
As a result, Shen Fugui laughed out loud: "In our family, Yoyo, that is one in a million, and ordinary people can't be born with it."
After the tour, the three of them went to the study. There was no other way, they still had to get down to business.
But after calculating all the accounts, I found that the money I earned was still not enough!
Previously, because of the workshop construction in Zhigu, my family had almost emptied out.
Together with the income from the past few months, it was used for renovation.
It really cost a lot of money to make these furniture look presentable.
Fortunately, the supermarket has been making profits every day, and business is still booming after several months.
Otherwise, even after the house is built, there will be no money to decorate it.
But in Shen Zhiqiu's opinion, money earned should be spent, and only by buying things can it be truly used for one's own benefit.
That's what it means that life is getting better and better. Otherwise, why would they build a new house? They could just live in the old mud house and save money. Now they can save a lot.
But in days like that, what’s the point of saving more money?
Let's say from the time they first crossed over to the time they fled from famine, and now, among them, there are people who can do medicine, carpentry, and even ironwork.
In addition, now they are making plastic cotton soles, plastic shoe soles, sports shoes, compressed biscuits, hairpin jewelry, one by one, all of which prove that they are becoming more and more capable.
All of them have a different attitude towards life and are becoming more and more confident.
For example, if you randomly pick one person from among them and ask him, "Do something for me," would you do it?
As long as they have come into contact with it, no matter whether it can be done or not, they will definitely tell you to give it a try. How do you know if you don’t try?
Because that's how they figured it out. In Yoyo's words, no matter what you do, at least you have to dare to think about it.
So, by the same token, it doesn’t matter if they spend all their money, because they are confident that there will be plenty of money waiting for them to earn in the future.
Don’t think that the drama is over when they move to a new home. It’s not over yet. Their new stage has just begun.
