Professor Lu has put it to this point, so why is Li Erdan so lucky to insist on giving money, or it is more appropriate to ask for red envelopes.

A minute later, he carefully placed the colorful jade old birthday statue on the protruding platform in a custom-made small niche. His eyes shone and he exclaimed, "Blessing is as bliss as the flowing water in the East China Sea, and longevity is more than the pine trees in the South Mountain. It is beautiful, so beautiful. The small niche and the statue are perfectly combined. To be honest, I don't want to give it to anyone anymore, I want to keep it. Hahaha."

"The things are yours, and you're not going to be yours!" Professor Lu smiled and said, "Actually, I think it's not necessary to give such a valuable thing to Mr. Chen. Gifts don't care how much they are worth. The most important thing is the heart and friendship of the gift giver. As the saying goes, gifts are less important than feelings. Sometimes the gifts given are too expensive, which will backfire. To be honest, it will change feelings, and to be big, it will cause the atmosphere of society."

The courtesy is light and affection is heavy. This is a motto left by our ancestors. The truth is definitely great. Professor Lu deeply agrees with the philosophy contained in this sentence.

Will giving gifts too expensively change the feelings?

Not to mention, it really does. Because people have a competitive mentality. Gifts given by one person are expensive, the other person will find ways to give more expensive gifts. If such a vicious cycle continues, will not make the feelings change? Will it ruin the social atmosphere?

The most corrupt social atmosphere of the most important gift is the dowry for marriage.

Grandpa only uses half a bucket of rice to marry grandma; father only uses half a pig to marry mother; now the child gets married but his parents are half a life.

The social atmosphere is corrupted and bloody. As a public, Li Erdan believes that not only does not cool down this bad atmosphere, but also adds fuel to the fire. He must scold him in a slight manner: Ya, the little rabbit who pretends to be rich!!!

Of course, while we criticize Li Erdan, some people also need to conduct self-examination, such as the celebrity couple who turned their personal wedding into a century-old wedding, and the entrepreneur who...

Erdan smiled and said, "Although I don't know how much it costs to buy agate rough stone carved into small niches, I'm sure it's more expensive than I buy colorful jade wool. The things I picked up, no matter how expensive they are, they will still be picked up. If I give them to someone, I will give them to someone, let alone give them to a great benefactor. Mr. Chen has a kindness with me, great benefactor. If there were no suggestions from him, I would not be like Li Erdan today. Even if I gave him a huge gift, I would not be enough to express my gratitude to him..."

Professor Lu and Wang Jixing nodded affirmatively, thinking that Li Erdan is very good at being a human being and values ​​affection and friendship, but he is too generous in his actions.

In the next time, Erdan went out and bought a projector lamp at the lighting store and installed it into a small niche, so that the colorful jade could be "lit up". In addition, he also wanted to buy a gift box large enough to hold a small agate and a statue of the old birthday star in the colorful jade. Professor Lu and Wang Jixing continued to finish the agate small agate, polished it with fine sandpaper, and polished it with a machine.

Erdan came back after being dumbfounded on the street for three hours. He bought a bunch of lights, a water-like green lighting LED, even two flashlights, and a mobile power supply.

"Oh, Erdan, didn't you say you bought a gift box? Why did you come back with a big suitcase?"

Professor Lu saw Erdan pulling a suitcase into his studio, and couldn't help asking. Teacher Wang Jixing was also confused. At this time, he had finished the agate niche, and all of them were polished and polished, and any part was as smooth as a mirror.

Erdan entered the studio and lifted the suitcase to the workbench. There was a rumbling sound, saying, "I ran around and couldn't buy a perfect gift box. I had limited time, so I bought a suitcase back. Actually, I don't think this is important because we can take the birthday gift. Hehe." Then he opened the zipper of the suitcase, lifted the lid, and a bunch of lamps and threads appeared in the eyes of Professor Lu and Wang Jixing.

"Mr. Li, you bought so many lamps, isn't it necessary?" Wang Jixing said speechlessly, "One is enough." He glared at him, "You also bought a mobile power supply, it's really thoughtful."

"That's a must!" Erdan said complacently, "You can see which lamp is more suitable. If you choose it, you have to install it for me."

The invitation says Mr. Chen’s birthday party starts at 6 pm, and the guests must have arrived in advance. If they don’t know how to do it, someone will run over at noon and have an extra meal. Now there are two hours left before 6 pm, so time should be enough. The three of them kept putting the bunch of lights they bought in small agate niches, and even pulled the curtains to keep the studio dark and light the light beads to see the effect. Twenty minutes later, the light was selected, a small-power ceiling projector that can intelligently change color, and the effect was very good. When Wang Jixing installed the light in a suitable position, half an hour passed. The light can be lit with a mobile power supply, or it can be plugged into a 220-volt socket and then turned on.

Now it is still an hour before the banquet started on the invitation, and Erdan has to go home to pick up his mother, goddaughter, and three generations of grandparents and grandchildren. If Long Haotian is included, it is that four generations of grandparents and grandchildren attended Mr. Chen’s birthday party.

From the bottom of my heart, Erdan hopes that his grandfather Long Haotian will not appear at Mr. Chen’s birthday party, and his eyes are clean.

The colorful jade statues and agate niches were placed gently in the suitcase like precious eggs, fearing that they would bump into each other. Seeing their masterpieces taken away by Erdan, Professor Lu and Teacher Wang Jixing felt very uncomfortable because they had put too much effort and sweat into this work.

Professor Lu suddenly grew old, his tense nerves relaxed, and said, "It's worth it to be able to complete this great work before retirement."

Li Erdan was surprised, "Professor Lu, what do you mean? Are you going to retire?"

"Yes, I'm old and can't do it anymore. Abdicate and give up the wise." Professor Lu said with a wry smile. From his expression, he could tell that he was still a little reluctant to leave the job. Then he patted him on the shoulder of Teacher Wang Jixing, the closed disciple standing next to him, "Just Xing, the future belongs to you young people, do it well."

Wang Jixing nodded vigorously, "You are always the eternal benchmark in our carving art world, guiding us to climb to a higher peak. Your apprentice Wang Jixing will definitely work hard and will never embarrass you."
