When he finished everything and walked out of the room, he heard the voices of Xu Hongdou and the three girls from the restaurant downstairs. The three of them were eating and chatting.
He didn't go down to disturb him. Instead, he moved around for a while and then went back to his room to rest.
Early the next morning, Zhou Chen meditated, had breakfast, and continued wood carving. This had become his daily routine, and others were no longer surprised.
Xu Hongdou walked out of the room and saw Zhou Chen who was carving wood downstairs, and ran down.
"Zhou Chen, I'm going to visit the ancient city today and fix my phone. Are you free today? If not, I will go alone."
Zhou Chen stopped what he was doing and said, "I'm free. I came here to play. I'm free at any time. Today is already the third day. I thought you weren't going to repair your phone."
Xu Hongdou smiled sheepishly: "It's really inconvenient not to have a mobile phone. If you hadn't lent me a few hundred yuan yesterday at noon, I wouldn't have had anything to eat last night or this morning."
"It's a small matter, are you ready to leave now, or wait a moment?"
"Go now and fix the phone. I'll treat you to dinner at noon."
"Okay, no problem. I'll take my things back to the room and change clothes."
Zhou Chen took the wood and carving knife upstairs, changed his clothes, and came down soon.
"Let's go."
When Xu Hongdou followed Zhou Chen to the entrance of the village and saw Zhou Chen's Range Rover, she looked shocked.
She knew that Zhou Chen might be rich, but when she saw this luxury car worth at least one million yuan, she was still surprised by Zhou Chen's net worth.
"boarding."
Yunmiao Village is still quite far away from the ancient city. This is not Zhou Chen’s first time there, so he is familiar with it.
Xu Hongdou said to Zhou Chen: "Go to the bank first, and I'll withdraw the money."
"good."
After withdrawing the money, Xu Hongdou returned the money to Zhou Chen, and then went to the mobile phone store together.
On the way, Zhou Chen said: "I looked at your mobile phone and it seems that the screen must be replaced. However, I guess this place may not be able to replace it for you on the spot. If there is no ready-made screen, it may take two or three days."
"Two or three days? It doesn't matter much. Anyway, I haven't used my phone for two days. It doesn't matter if I wait another two or three days." Xu Hongdou said nonchalantly.
When we arrived at the mobile phone store, it was true as Zhou Chen said. There was no ready-made screen and it was difficult to replace it immediately. It would take three days to wait. So Xu Hongdou could only keep the mobile phone and left Zhou Chen's mobile phone number with the repair shop.
, you can call Zhou Chen to notify him after it is repaired.
After walking out of the mobile phone store, Zhou Chen asked: "Come to the ancient city, do you want to go shopping?"
"Forget it, wait until I get my phone in two days before shopping again."
Xu Hongdou thought for a while and then refused. She was not the kind of person who particularly liked shopping. What she wanted to do most now was to find a place to lie down. She felt that the windy courtyard was the best place.
Zhou Chen nodded: "Okay, but before I go back, I have to go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities and snacks."
Xu Hongdou's eyes lit up and she said, "This is good, I'll buy some too."
So, the two of them drove to the largest supermarket in the ancient city, bought a shopping cart, and returned home fully loaded.
In the afternoon, Zhou Chen went to the wood carving workshop, but was surprised to find that the wood carving workshop was not open today.
"what's the situation?"
After thinking about it, he didn't go back, but went to Xie Heshun's house. As soon as he reached the corner of Xie Heshun's house, he saw Xie Xiaoxia coming towards him carrying a gift with his head downcast.
Xie Xiaoxia was also shocked when she saw Zhou Chen.
"Brother Zhou, come find Master."
"Um."
Zhou Chen nodded, and when he saw the gift in Xie Xiaoxia's hand and his expression, he immediately understood what happened.
"What, are you having a showdown with Master Xie? Are you really ready to go out and try your luck?"
Xie Xiaoxia nodded slightly: "Brother Zhou, please help me persuade the master. He is in a very bad mood now. He values ​​you the most. Your words will definitely work."
Zhou Chen patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Okay, I will persuade you, but I still advise you, even if you want to go out, it is best to go with someone you trust, and never trust strangers.
You can’t go with strangers either, do you understand?”
"Brother Zhou, thank you for reminding me, I will remember it."
"Okay, then I'll go find Master Xie now."
Zhou Chen came to Xie Heshun's house and knocked on the door: "Master Xie, it's me, Zhou Chen."
Although he learned wood carving from Xie Heshun, Xie Heshun did not allow him to formally become his apprentice, and he usually called him Master Xie.
"Ah, it's Xiao Zhou, why are you here?"
Xie Heshun walked out of the room and opened the door for Zhou Chen.
Looking at his expression, Zhou Chen knew that he was in a bad mood now.
"Didn't I go to the ancient city today? I bought a few bottles by the way. I couldn't find anyone for a long time. Why don't I find Master Xie and you're here? Master Xie, would you like to have a couple of drinks?"
Xie Heshun saw the wine in Zhou Chen's hand and nodded silently.
"Okay, two drinks, come in."
Walking into the house, Xie Heshun took out two wine glasses, some peanuts and a pile of cold vegetables.
"Make do with it, don't give it up."
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it."
After two glasses of wine, Zhou Chen took the initiative and said: "I just met Xiaoxia at the door, and I also know about him. As a young man, I have never seen the intrigues outside. I always think that I can make a lot of money after I go out.
,This is normal."
Xie Heshun placed the wine glass heavily on the table and snorted: "You're right, these kids are nothing. They really think that the money outside is easy to make. They are so restless all day long. It's strange that they can learn wood carving well."
, all want to go out, okay, let them go out, I want to see if they can really make a lot of money after they go out."
He sincerely wanted to teach several apprentices, and even used all his own resources. Unfortunately, the skills of a few apprentices were limited. Others only wanted what he did, and they didn't want the works of a few apprentices.
"If they had your talent and concentration, their future achievements would definitely be better than mine. It's a pity."
Xie Heshun was very disappointed. Zhou Chen's talent was something he had never seen before in his life. Several apprentices combined could not match it, so he had stricter requirements on several apprentices, because he knew that if the talent was not enough, he would not be able to match it.
I just have to work hard to make it happen.
It's a pity that the last few apprentices still didn't understand him, and they were all ready to leave.
Zhou Chen could understand Xie Heshun's distress, but he knew better that this was not entirely Xie Heshun's problem, nor was it the problem of those apprentices. It was just that society was developing. If a wood carving workshop like Xie Heshun did not have suitable sales and reforms,
Bankruptcy is a matter of time.
"Master Xie, I dare not say anything about others, but I believe that Xiaoxia will come back sooner or later, because he is too simple, and his roots are here, so he can't go far."
It can be seen from the TV plot that Xie Xiaoxia is a good kid, but he is really too simple. If there is no one to take care of him, he will never be able to survive alone outside.
Zhou Chen was comforting Xie Heshun when suddenly the cell phone in his pocket rang.
"Hello, hello, who are you?"
"Xu Hongdou's mother, oh, oh, I know, I know, she is aunt, yes, okay, I will go back to find Hongdou right away, okay..."
