Back To 2005

Uncle, this is some tea for you. I heard from Huihui that you like calligraphy. I saw a calligraphy copy of Yu Shucheng's Lanting Collection in the bookstore before, so I just brought it to you to take a look.

Without waiting for Zhu's father to recall the past, Zhou Anan took the initiative to deliver the prepared gifts.

The tea is of course this year's Yuqian Longjing, which only costs a few thousand yuan per gram, and a box is probably worth hundreds of thousands; the copybook is a collection he specially brought from Mr. Mai in Hong Kong City, and he transferred it to him symbolically for 50 yuan. Ten thousand, the market price is at most several million.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s valuable or not, the main thing is this intention.

A preface to everyone's Lanting Collection?

Zhu Qing, a cursive calligraphy enthusiast, brightened up when he heard that it was a copybook written by Yu in the early years of the Republic of China, and he carefully took the item in a black cloth bag.

Yu Weren is the pinnacle of cursive calligraphy in the past hundred years. As a calligraphy enthusiast, he is very familiar with this name and dreams of owning an authentic copy of it.

Unfortunately, I am short of money, so I can only look at it through glass boxes in some private museums.

In the entire Haizhou Calligraphy Association, no one can own the original calligraphy of everyone, let alone the famous preface to the Lanting Collection, which is definitely a holy relic for all cursive calligraphy lovers.

Zhu Qing, who was so happy when he saw the thing, couldn't think of anything familiar or not, he couldn't wait to open it and take a look.

Ahem, Xiao Zhou, sit down, let's sit down and talk.

Seeing that her husband was so excited that he forgot about business, He Shuixian next to him couldn't help coughing twice, and asked him to sit down with a smile.

Auntie, this is the cheongsam and a few small items I brought from Gusu. Please don't dislike it.

Taking out two boxes and handing them over, Zhou Anan would naturally not miss the gift from Mother Zhu.

Cheongsams are Su's handmade products. They are not expensive, costing only tens of thousands per piece. The expensive part is that they need to be booked six months in advance. If you jump in line directly, the price will be increased several times at most.

For Zhou Anan, he asked someone to say hello and jumped in line without even raising the price.

Those matching small items cost hundreds of thousands, but Zhou Anan couldn't directly tell the price and had to keep a low profile.

Hand-embroidered cheongsam from Su's workshop?

After receiving his gift, He Shuixian looked at the sign and asked in surprise.

Among them, a cheongsam group that likes catwalks and dancing, there is an old sister from a well-off family who received a hand-embroidered cheongsam from Su from her son and played with it in front of them for half a month, which is enviable.

Unexpectedly, my daughter's boyfriend was so generous when he made the purchase. This handmade cheongsam cost at least five figures. Wearing it to the next party will definitely make others envious.

Come to think of it, other small items are not much cheaper.

This kid has a heart.

Dad, Mom, have you ordered?

Seeing that her boyfriend's gift was exactly what her parents wanted, Zhu Huihui, who affirmed the man's sincerity, interrupted the two elders' joy.

She was really afraid that if the man continued to give gifts, the second elder would give her away directly, even though she had given herself away completely.

I ordered it, Xiao Zhou, take a look, is there anything else you want to eat?

Putting on a pleasant smile, He Shuixian put down the gift box in his hand and asked with a smile.

Then add fried clam meat.

After looking at the menu that had been ordered, Zhou Anan thought of the young lady's taste recently and chose a dish that was meaty but not too fishy.

Okay, waiter, it's time to serve.

After looking at this unfettered young man with approval, He Shuixian ordered the waiter next to him to serve the food.

Xiao Zhou, we should have met before!

After calming down his excitement, Zhu Qing smiled and said something in a declarative tone.

Yes, one time when Huihui and I were eating Western food, we happened to meet my uncle.

Facing Zhu's father who was obsessed with reminiscing, Zhou Anan confirmed that the other party remembered correctly.

As for whether the other party remembered his initial self-introduction, Zhou Ananquan treated it as if it never happened.

I'm just telling you, I'm sure I won't remember it wrong.

After receiving the affirmative reply from the other party, Zhu Qing looked at his wife next to him proudly.

Uncle, I heard from Huihui that you are the director of Haizhou Calligraphy Association?!!

Zhou Anan, who had been well prepared for this kind of thing, naturally found it at his fingertips, and he tried hard to find out what his father-in-law was proud of when talking about it.

What kind of association is there? It's just a few of us retired old guys getting together in our free time, writing and having fun. It's not worth mentioning.

After hearing the other party talk about this, Zhu Qing waved his hand very reservedly.

Being able to join the Haizhou Calligraphy Association as a director after retirement is Zhu Qing's most proud thing in recent years, besides his daughter being admitted to the civil service.

You must know that the president of Haizhou Calligraphy Association is the number one figure in Haizhou Xiezheng and the number three in Qianjiang Province. Even if he is relegated to the second line, he is quite influential, so the Calligraphy Association has preferential treatment in many gathering places.

In this life, what matters most is face.

It is precisely because of this that the Haizhou Calligraphy Association has become the favorite of countless retired civil servants, but not just anyone can join, let alone directors who have the right to recommend.

Uncle is so humble.

Auntie, I heard that you won the prize in our Jiang Province folk dance group competition some time ago?

After a friendly conversation, Zhou Anan had completely gained the approval of his two elders, and all he had to do was call her 'Mom and Dad'.

Zhu Huihui, who was sitting aside, looked at the man's steady behavior and relieved half of her worries about the important conversation that was about to follow.

He is indeed the man she likes, he is so good in every aspect.

Uncle, aunt, there is something I want to be honest with you two about.

After dinner, he came to the tea table in the private room. Zhou Anan, who came back from the house with a document bag, waved off the waiter and poured a cup of tea for the two elders himself.

What's the matter? Tell me.

So far, Zhu Qing, who was very satisfied with the future son-in-law in front of him, took the tea cup and asked kindly.

I may not be able to marry Huihui.

At this time, Zhou Anan, who had accumulated a lot of goodwill, solemnly stated the main purpose of today's dinner.

What did you say?

Upon hearing the man's words, Zhu Qing slapped the teacup down, stood up, and looked at the man with angry eyes.

When did the daughter of his Lao Zhu family become so despised?

Co-author, those good appearances before were all false.

On the other hand, He Shuixian, who was sitting next to him, stood up and grabbed her husband, but her eyes when she looked at the man opposite were also full of anger, and the goodwill she had previously accumulated disappeared, and even became negative.

Dad, don't worry, just listen to what An An has to say.

Zhu Huihui, who had expected it, quickly grabbed her father's arm, fearing that something might happen to her elderly father.

Whatever you say, take those things back to me. My old Zhu family is not a family that sells their daughters.

Facing his daughter's dissuasion, Zhu Qing still shouted angrily.

His daughter is the most precious treasure in his life, how can he be allowed to be bullied at will?

Old man, listen to Hui Hui and see what he says.

He Shuixian, who was also afraid that his wife would be too excited, persuaded her from the side against her will.

Uncle, here is a growth fund document. I have established a 200 million growth fund for Huihui and her unborn child, which will generate at least 12 million in income every year.

After the two elders calmed down a little, Zhou Anan picked up the document bag he had brought back from his previous trip and spoke sincerely.
