Chapter 403 Waxed half-cage golden jade, musk-smoked slightly embroidered hibiscus [I wish everyone a National Day]
Liu Chen moved the things. Not to mention, the house with some furniture was still very nice and antique.
Many young people nowadays don't like this kind of thing, but Liu Chen doesn't know why, but he just likes this kind of thing, and there are some that have a different charm.
"Ah Chen, I saw the door was open and there was a tractor parked at the door. I thought you must be back." The second aunt said as she walked in.
"Yeah, come back and take a look, and bring back some furniture by the way."
The second aunt entered the yard and looked left and right. It was different to be rich. Not to mention, the house was built really grandly, and the garden in the yard had a rockery, which was really beautiful.
"Ah Chen, tell me, you don't come back to live here very often. Building such a good house is a bit of a waste, isn't it?"
After listening to the second aunt's words, Liu Chen thought to himself, you are Dahai, and your control is quite lenient. This is not spending your money, so why do you care so much?
Although Liu Chen wanted to think so, he didn't say anything. After all, the second aunt is an elder, right?
"It's not bad, the main thing is to come back and live comfortably when the time comes." Liu Chen smiled and said perfunctorily.
"Oh, you didn't buy new furniture. Why does it look like old furniture?"
"Yeah, let's buy some old furniture to use first, and wait until we buy new furniture upstairs. Anyway, there are many rooms, so there will be a lot of furniture."
When the second aunt heard this, she thought to herself, darling, this is a three-story building. If you buy one set of furniture on one floor, you will need several sets of furniture.
Their house cost hundreds of thousands to build, and they spent a lot of money on renovations. Now they have to buy so much furniture. Their family really makes a lot of money.
The second aunt thought to herself, if she had known this, she would not have treated their family like that before. Now she wonders if Achen will take it to heart?
Liu Chen and Liu Lili arranged the furniture and took a rest. The second aunt refused to let Liu Chen leave, saying that he could have dinner at her house in the evening.
In the end, Liu Chen politely declined. He had to go back to the hotel in the county town later, as he had other things to do.
The second aunt saw that it was unrealistic to invite Liu Chen to dinner, so she simply chatted for a while and then went to hunt pigweeds. She thought to herself that Liu Chen was not easy to deal with, so it would be better to ask his father Liu Dechao to compare.
good.
After the second aunt left, Liu Chen put the human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum and ginseng he brought on the second floor. He put them here temporarily. When they move house in the next two days, he will let Grandpa Dai Xixi and Grandpa Li Chunsheng
Let's take a look and see what this is like?
"Oh my God, Ah Chen, are you sure this is wild? Isn't it too big?" Liu Lili said while looking at Liu Chen's Polygonum multiflorum and ginseng.
"Yes, it's wild."
But no matter what Liu Chen said, Liu Lili still felt a little unconvinced. After all, he had never seen such a big one in the wild.
"I heard it's still a hundred years old?"
"It would be great if it was really wild. Wild things are so rare now."
Although Liu Lili said that, he still didn't believe it. At least he had never seen such a big one in his entire life.
Besides, although Liu Chen is from a rural area, he has little access to the fields and has been going to school. He really has never dug these herbs. Can you recognize them clearly?
"Anyway, even if it's not wild, the shape is still very beautiful."
Liu Chen looked at Liu Lili and didn't quite believe it, but if he didn't believe it, then he didn't believe it.
Liu Chen also put all the wild boar belly, deer antlers, deer penis, tiger penis, etc. he brought on the second floor.
The two cleaned up for a while, and Liu Lili went to work with Kexin. Liu Chen locked the door and drove the tractor to the county seat.
Not long after, we arrived at our hotel.
It's only three or four o'clock now, not yet dinner time, and there aren't many people there.
Liu Chen and Li Biao and his son unloaded the eels, loaches and turtles from the tractor and put them away.
Liu Chen took some wild boar belly, deer antlers, mountain products, etc. he brought and put them away.
There is a room in the hotel where Liu Chen keeps his things, and Liu Chen always puts some things that he feels are particularly precious.
Liu Chen asked how the business was during this time, and felt relieved after knowing that it was not bad.
At this time, Hu Xiurong looked at Liu Chen and said, "Son, have you seen the house in my hometown? Isn't it pretty good?"
"I just came from home today. Yes, it's very grand and beautiful. Moreover, I even brought some old furniture and put them in it."
When he learned that Liu Chen had pulled some old furniture and put it inside, Liu Dechao shouted, "Why did you buy old ones? I still have money in my hand. It's enough to buy new ones."
Liu Dechao put a lot of thought into building this old house, and Hu Xiurong also strongly supported it. After all, they were looked down upon by everyone in the village before, but now they finally have a chance to perform, and they want to do their best.
Earn this face back.
"You don't understand, the furniture I collected is still very good, antique, and the style is very beautiful."
Liu Chen thought to himself, the furniture I collected is not comparable to the furniture stores you are interested in. Some of them are made of rosewood and sandalwood, which are good things.
"Mom, I'll give you something."
Hu Xiurong couldn't be happier when he heard Liu Chen said that he wanted to give something to him. After so many years, this is not a holiday, and it's not Mother's Day. Even on Mother's Day every year, he has never received anything from Liu Chen.
Chen’s gift, why would you give it to yourself so rashly?
Liu Chen took out the jade bracelet he had brought and put it on his mother's hand. It was just right and looked very nice.
"How is it? Isn't this bracelet nice?"
"Where did you get it? This bracelet is very beautiful."
At this time, both Zhang Nini and Wen Wen came over. Women are particularly concerned about these things and like them very much.
“This bracelet is really good, the germplasm is delicate and transparent, and the color is bright.
The materials used are thick, and the classical and graceful language also reveals a fashionable atmosphere." Wen Wen said while looking at the bracelet on Hu Xiurong's hand.
After everyone heard what Wen Wen said, they couldn't tell that she still understands jade.
"Gentle, do you still understand this?"
"Hehe, I don't really understand. Mainly because my mother likes it more, and I also understand a little bit about it."
After hearing what Wen Wen said, Hu Xiurong quickly took off the jade bracelet on his hand and showed it to Wen Wen to let her see if it was a good thing.
Wen Wen took the bracelet in her hand, looked at it again and again, and said with eyes wide open: "This is indeed a good thing, it is the same as what Li Shangyin wrote, 'half-cage gold jade in wax, slightly embroidered with hibiscus in musk smoke'."
Although Hu Xiurong didn't understand much, he just felt that it must be a good thing.
"Son, you should keep such a good thing and give it to your wife when the time comes." Hu Xiurong looked at the jade bracelet in his hand. The bracelet suddenly felt like a treasure and he didn't want to wear it anymore.
Hu Xiurong already knew from the previous few times that the things his son brought each time seemed like nothing at the time, but later they turned out to be good things. If they were good things, they couldn't bring them indiscriminately.
"Oh, Mom, it depends on what you said. You take it with you first. If you want to give it to your wife, you can give it to yourself when the time comes."
After admiring the jade bracelet, Liu Dechao told everyone that during this period, since the house was built, many relatives have come to give him gifts, and the house is almost decorated. Liu Dechao has taken a fancy to a lot of furniture and will go to the furniture store tomorrow;
Just go there, he also chose a day, and he can have a banquet in his hometown the day after tomorrow.
Usually in Liu Chen's hometown, when a new house is built, a banquet is held to celebrate it. It is said to be "burning the bottom of the pot", which is a housewarming celebration. Relatives and friends will give gifts, usually one or two hundred, as you know.
They will all give gifts of money in advance.
"Okay, Dad, it's up to you anyway. I don't care what furniture you buy, but you can't touch the old furniture I put there."
"Don't worry, I won't touch anything you mess with."
Hu Xiurong was extremely happy, but when he bought a house in the county, many of his relatives didn't know it. At that time, he only paid a down payment, and then paid it back bit by bit.
The house is not big, about 100 square meters, and it is simply decorated.
The house in Liu Dechao's hometown was built like a villa, and everyone in the village knew about it. Many people gave "burning pot bottom" gifts before the house was built.
As the saying goes, "If you are poor in the busy city, you will have no one to care about you; if you are rich in the mountains, you will have distant relatives."
When there was no money in the past, many relatives would travel as far as they could for fear of getting involved in borrowing money from Liu Chen's family. Now that Liu Chen is managing a restaurant and has money, many relatives would specially take the "burning pot bottom" gifts from their hometown.
Brought it.
Several elders and uncles have already given money to me, and some relatives from far away have also brought money.
Liu Chen thought to himself, after all the money was given, this matter would be settled sooner or later, and he would never be able to escape.
Liu Dechao's parents were very considerate. They had already bought the fireworks, firecrackers, and ribbons for decorating the house, and were just waiting to take them back and put them off.
"Okay, since you all have a good idea of the day and everything is ready, then just do it the day after tomorrow."
In the evening, business was still good. Liu Chen didn't want to be in the hotel at all. He went back to his rental house and looked at the bottles and cans he brought. If there were any good ones, he could put them all in the old house.
It's quite nice to put them there.
Liu Chen took out his cell phone again, and Ma Xinran sent her a lot of messages. They were all greetings anyway, and Liu Chen simply replied to them.
She looked at the message Li Xiaoxi sent her again and realized that she was bringing her friends over for dinner the day after tomorrow. Liu Chen replied to her message.
Just after I replied a few words, I saw a direct call from Li Xiaoxi.
"What do you mean? Why is it closed the day after tomorrow? Is there something wrong?"
Liu Chen didn't want to say it at first, but Li Xiaoxi was a girl who wanted to get to the bottom of things. If she didn't tell her, it seemed like she couldn't get the job done, so she had to tell the truth.
"Oh, that's a good thing. Count me in the day after tomorrow. I must go."
Li Xiaoxi has nothing to do now anyway. She is following Li Chunsheng to fight. Knowing that Liu Chen said he was planning a housewarming, he had to attend.
As soon as Li Xiaoxi hung up the phone, Wang Ruoji came over here.
Ps: Dear book friends, I wish you all a happy National Day and may the motherland prosper and get better and better!
