tease

Even the old man and the old lady had to stay in Beijing for at least a month. They had Lian Xin running around, so Wen Zhengyu didn't need to follow them everywhere. It happened that Ye Ling was free these few days, so Wen Zhengyu took Ye Ling to give gifts.

Wen Zhengyu told Ye Ling: "In the past few days, the gifts have been given to the homes of old men and women whom I have known over the years, and there are also some middle-aged people who are more able to talk to like Lao Zhou. In fact, I just want to Let's see if they are doing well." She hesitated for a moment and said, "The operation of the studio can still be maintained, can the payment method not be changed?"

Ye Ling asked: "Why?"

Wen Zhengyu said: "I opened a studio, and they helped me when it was so difficult. The studio has been profitable until now. No matter how I do business, I always buy at low prices and sell at high prices. Business, but it’s all...they are helping me. They sell paintings, whoever they sell them to is not for sale, so why send them all the way to me.”

"It seems to a layman how much a painting is worth, and what paintings sell for a sky-high price all at once, but those are all individual. The master and grandpa are the top little ones in this industry. It’s come to this point. That’s it, if only my grandpa and I are relying on painting, our grandpa and grandson, not to mention the big house now, even living in the second aunt’s small courtyard before is not enough to support the expenses.”

"Many well-known painters are under great financial pressure. Painting is not about opening a printing factory. There are as many as you want. Each artist can sell only a limited number of paintings every year. Raising a family, going out to sketch, and holding art exhibitions , to buy a house for your children and grandchildren, you need money for everything.”

Ye Ling understood that it was because her own life was easier, and she wanted others to have an easier time.She said: "You used to be okay like this, but now you are often away from the studio for ten and a half months. When you are not there, the paintings cost hundreds of thousands, and the finance side dare not pay them, and they still have to delay. You have a fixed time for payment. The account is received on time every month, and the finances are worry-free, and the other party will not disrupt the money plan because you are not in the studio."

Wen Zhengyu thought about it, and felt that Ye Ling's words were also reasonable.

Ye Ling added: "You are often not in the studio now, so you can't just leave all the paintings there waiting for you to go back for appraisal. You know so many painters, see if there are any suitable ones, please invite some of them to sit in the hall, everyone will save trouble and worry. "Wen Zhengyu's interpersonal relationship is not bad, but to do business, he lacks a capable CEO.

Ye Ling was very curious about Wen Zhengyu's social circle.

Most of her interpersonal relationships are related to interests, but Wen Zhengyu's character, the person she associates with mainly depends on whether they are compatible. Because of Ye Che's incident, she did not dare to underestimate Wen Zhengyu's interpersonal circle. I wanted to open my eyes, but in the end, it really opened my eyes.

Wen Zhengyu's contacts are all well-educated families, including calligraphers and painters who have contacts with studios, professors who teach in universities, cultural people who have retired and retired at home, and collectors who met through antique trading. Family conditions also vary.Some old couples live in old houses with stairs built in the 90s, small houses of more than 80 square meters, well-organized, and the houses are full of books; there are guards in several houses, and the entrance and exit are strictly controlled.

Regardless of the other party's family conditions, Wen Zhengyu went with a gift, just like Santa Claus who gave gifts at Christmas.

When Wen Zhengyu came to the door, those old men and women seemed to see their own grandchildren coming back, and pulled Wen Zhengyu to ask what they were asking.

When Wen Zhengyu sent a gift, she didn't have to just deliver the gift. She had to let the other party try to see if it was suitable, and she had to ask the other party what taboos they had about their physical condition. If there was anything inappropriate, she could adjust it in the annual gift.Regarding the health care of the elderly, she talks about it one by one, which ones need to be avoided by hypertensive patients, and which ones need to be tabooed by the elderly with high blood sugar. According to this request.She sent the meal ingredients with a meal prescription, and there were also notes clearly written about any taboos.

Those old people also liked to chatter with Wen Zhengyu, and they talked more carefully than what Wen Zhengyu wrote. They also patiently reminded Wen Zhengyu of things that Wen Zhengyu hadn't noticed. The sugar cake I brought last time was delicious. My blood sugar has been controlled, and it’s okay to eat occasionally. During the Chinese New Year, you can pack two boxes of sugar cakes for me. I don’t want more, and you won’t give any more. , I don’t know you yet, stingy.”

Ye Ling felt that if Wen Zhengyu didn't open a studio last year, it would be feasible to open an elderly care center.

The things Wen Zhengyu gave as gifts were not too expensive, but they were definitely not too cheap. They were all of high quality, and it looked like they had bought them on purpose.The trinkets and decorations she sent were not expensive, maybe three to five thousand or tens of thousands, but they all had their own uniqueness.

Ye Ling was very surprised: I haven't seen Wen Zhengyu go out to make troubles, and I don't know where she got these things.

She asked Wen Zhengyu, and Wen Zhengyu told her where to find these things and how to find them. "Occasionally when I'm free or passing by, I'll buy it when I see the right one. Sometimes when there's a new product, I'll call and ask to see if there's anything I like."

Those who can afford to collect antiques instead of earning a living by tinkering with antiques are those who have a lot of family background and good cultural literacy, which cannot be supported by ordinary families.Just like her, her family's family background is not weak. Although her parents have passed away and suffered a lot, in fact, they are also three generations of officials. There are many genuine and fake antiques, but let her identify the real and fake. She is likely to take the fake as real and the real as fake.To be able to play antiques well is to practice them by holding them in your hands and watching them for many years.Just like Wen Zhengyu, if you give her an antique, she weighs it in her hand first, and she can find out one, two, three, four, five.

Ye Ling followed Wen Zhengyu for three or four days, and met the old man who helped Ye Che's case.

She followed Wen Zhengyu to the door and went to the door by herself, it was like entering the house of two families.

Wen Zhengyu is as familiar as going to his grandmother's house, giving gifts first, and then returning gifts after gifts, asking for pickled vegetables.The old lady only pickled two jars in total, one of which was specially pickled for Wen Zhengyu.

Wen Zhengyu went to Lao Qin's house to finish the dried vegetables, and then noticed the antiques on the shelf. He was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a low voice, "Grandpa Qin, your son works in the Commission for Discipline Inspection?"

Old Mr. Qin nodded and said, "Well, you just know? Haha, do you owe me a favor?"

Wen Zhengyu shook his head with a sullen face, "No debt." He kept his eyes fixed.

Old Mr. Qin said: "I won't let you return it, but stay for lunch."

Wen Zhengyu shook his head and said, "I have to go to Grandpa Lu's house." After she finished speaking, seeing old man Qin's expression was wrong, she said, "Don't be angry, you and Grandpa Lu had a fight?"

Mr. Qin said: "His son committed a crime, the house and all his family's property were seized and confiscated, and several grandsons who participated in the work were also implicated. Lao Lu was also implicated."

"He has those little ornaments from you. Let him explain. He is afraid of hurting you, so he won't say anything. We old guys heard the letter and went over to explain the situation."

Wen Zhengyu felt very uncomfortable immediately, and she asked: "How is Grandpa Lu doing now? He is in his early eighties."

"He was released, but his family is gone, and his relatives are avoiding him and going to a nursing home."

Wen Zhengyu asked: "What about Xiao Rongrong? She is less than ten years old, will she be fine?"

Old Mr. Qin said: "Sent to the orphanage." He added: "His son is a little... offended by many people and ended badly. It's not good for everyone to get too involved in his family's affairs. "

Wen Zhengyu nodded, knowing that it was not good to ask more about Mr. Lu's family.Old Mr. Qin helped her and Ye Ling, she had to accept his favor.She said, "Then I'll toast you two later." She hesitated for a while, but still couldn't hold back, and asked, "Which nursing home?"

Mr. Qin sighed, seemed embarrassed or hesitated, and finally told Wen Zhengyu the address.

Ye Ling glanced at Wen Zhengyu twice, and then at Mr. Qin, without making a sound.

Wen Zhengyu came out after eating at Mr. Qin's house. After getting in the car, he reported the address of the nursing home to Wen Jing, and asked Wen Jing to go to the nursing home.She said to Ye Ling: "The relationship between Grandpa Lu and his son is not very good. He has always lived by himself, and even went to live with us for a few years. The house we rented is not far from our house. We live close to each other. I always meet him from time to time. The old man is very sociable, and he gets to know him once he comes and goes. He is very good at Go. He often plays chess with the old man, and often comes to my house for dinner. Later, he fell ill, so his son picked him up. Go back." As she spoke, she was silent for a few seconds before she said: "Last year, over there...Grandpa Jing lived there. Two months ago, Uncle Jing called me to say that Grandpa Jing was gone. Before the old man left, Still thinking about me, let Uncle Jing tell me, lest I go to his house and see no one, it will be uncomfortable."

She slowed down and said, "Actually, I'm used to it. Every year... from time to time... one or two less."

Ye Ling held Wen Zhengyu in her arms and patted her on the back lightly.

Wen Zhengyu was very uncomfortable.When those people do something, why don't they think more about their family members.The same is true for Mr. Wen. When he was old, he was troubled by his son and sold the house.If it weren't for her second aunt and her grandparents' family, it would be hard to say what the two of them would be like now.

She nestled in Ye Ling's arms for a while, restrained her emotions, sat up straight, and said to Ye Ling: "It's okay, I just feel sad."

Ye Ling gave a soft "um" and held Wen Zhengyu's hand.

When Wen Zhengyu and Ye Ling went to the nursing home, the nurses didn't let them go in to visit. They just helped Mr. Lu to the reception in the front hall and let them meet.

Old Mr. Lu was as thin as a handful of bones, he was very old, he walked tremblingly, and his body smelled of bad hygiene.

Mr. Lu used to be very particular. He was neatly dressed and always kept very clean.

Mr. Lu was startled and surprised when he saw Wen Zhengyu, and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you let them tell you? Did someone bother you?"

Wen Zhengyu helped him to sit down and said: "My grandpa and grandma came to celebrate my old friend's birthday and brought me here. I thought I had enough time, so I came to see you. When I went to Grandpa Qin, Grandpa Qin said that you are here. I'm coming."

Mr. Lu asked, "You know everything?"

Wen Zhengyu smelled the smell of Mr. Lu, and looked at the way the staff resolutely refused to let them in. Wen Jing went to see it just now, and said that the door inside was locked and there were people guarding it, so he knew the environment here was not good. .Last year, Mr. Lu's body was still very strong, and he looked better than her grandfather's body. This year, it is like that.She nodded and said, "Let's discuss something with you."

Mr. Lu said: "I am very grateful that you can come to see me. It is very good that you can come, it is very good..." He was a little choked up as he spoke, and said: "I have seen it, so please come back early. "As he spoke, he was about to stand up straight.

Wen Zhengyu supported him and said: "Listen to me and see if it works? We moved back to my old house, and the house you used to live in is still for rent. You take Xiao Rongrong to live there, my grandfather I also have you as a companion. After the incident with my dad, his situation is no better than before. With you, he can still play chess. Xiao Rongrong is so small, and with you taking care of him, both the growth environment and the education he received are better than before. The orphanage is much better. I will write down all the expenses, and when Xiao Rongrong grows up and has the ability, I will pay back slowly."

Old Mr. Lu said repeatedly: "I've got my heart, I've got my heart, don't trouble you. You just have to be good, she..." He wanted to say that each had his own life, but after all, it was his own granddaughter. Since he returned to Beijing to live with his son, Only this granddaughter... he can live with this little granddaughter at home.

Wen Zhengyu smiled and said: "We have no mutual interests, just a little friendship with neighbors and hobbies. You are over 80, and Xiao Rongrong is not yet ten years old. Who will make things difficult for you. Besides, you can avoid It's far away."

Ye Ling took a deep look at Wen Zhengyu, admiring Wen Zhengyu.She didn't even ask what happened to Mr. Lu's house, who offended him, and dared to take him in like this.Mr. Qin's words, Mr. Lu's ability to live in a nursing home, there are many things worth pondering.

She thought about it again, Wen Zhengyu was so silly and pure-hearted, and he was helping the elderly and underage children who hadn't lived for a few years. Even if anyone didn't like it, they couldn't make things difficult for her. .Who can guarantee that when a family does not fail to commit crimes and collapses, if such a stupid person comes out to help and save them, the elderly and children can also have a way out.

Ye Ling sighed softly, rubbed Wen Zhengyu's hair, and whispered something in Mr. Lu's ear.

Mr. Lu looked at Ye Ling with a surprised expression on his face.

Ye Ling nodded and said something in a low voice.

Mr. Lu said several times in a row: "Thank you, thank you, thank you..."

Wen Zhengyu looked at Ye Ling, and said in his heart, "Isn't it causing trouble for Ye Ling?"

Ye Ling received Wen Zhengyu's gaze, rubbed Wen Zhengyu's head again, and said, "If you want to talk about this, you have to take the person out first and then find a place to live."

Wen Zhengyu was relieved when he saw that Ye Ling wanted to let her figure it out on her own.Since she knew about this and was capable of helping them, she wanted to make it easier for them.She went to go through the formalities immediately, took Mr. Lu out of the nursing home, and then went to the orphanage to pick up the child.

When Wen Zhengyu saw Xiao Rongrong in the orphanage, she and a girl of similar age were cornered by several children, who called his father a corrupt official, called her a social moth, and called another child It's ugly.

Old Mr. Lu's tears rolled down on the spot.

When Xiao Rongrong saw her grandfather, she threw herself into her grandfather's arms and wept loudly.

Wen Zhengyu saw that Xiao Rongrong's hair was torn like a chicken coop, his clothes were torn, and the children who beat her also ran away.Many people watched them from a distance, and some children ran to call the staff.

Xiao Rongrong was sent to the orphanage because her parents committed crimes and were left unattended. Mr. Lu is her immediate family member, and their household registration is in the same household registration book. With these proofs, the formalities were completed without any trouble.

Xiao Rongrong reluctantly said goodbye to the girl who was bullied by other children.The child had a large birthmark covering half of his face, his feet were deformed, and he walked with a limp.The girl spoke softly and with a nice voice.She advised Xiao Rongrong not to be sad, saying that it is a good thing to have her grandpa come to pick her up, she should be happy, and let her take good care of her grandpa.

A child ran over to spit at Wen Zhengyu, but Wen Jing stopped him.The child cursed: "Bah, corrupt official, dog leg." He ran away.

Ye Ling caught up with her in a few steps, grabbed the child, and said, "Her grandfather is a revolutionary soldier. His legs were crippled by bullets in order to protect his family and the country. Her four uncles and her elder brother were all sent to the frontier of the motherland." To defend the country, everyone has fought face to face with the enemies and criminals on the border with guns. If the money I donate to the orphanage every year is to raise you things that don’t distinguish between right and wrong, it’s really a waste of money. "After finishing speaking, he poohed back at the child.

Wen Zhengyu, who was still sad at first, was stunned by Ye Ling's actions.For such a big man, he was poohed by a child, and he came back.

A staff member from the orphanage came and took the child away first, and then told them that the child’s mother had run away, and that the father failed to ask for wages due to unpaid wages, and was beaten again for petitioning. Later, he was arrested for retaliation against the society.The child was sent here without anyone to take care of it.

Wen Zhengyu looked at these children who came here for various reasons, and when they left, he also donated a small sum of money as a snack.

She has known Mr. Lu for many years, and knows that he is a man who values ​​face. Even if he is down and out, it is better to live in his own thatched hut than to be taken in by others.

She temporarily arranged Mr. Lu to stay in a hotel, borrowed some money and left two famous bodyguards for him, and asked him to take his granddaughter to live in the hotel to rest and recuperate. If there is anything else to do, let the two A bodyguard accompanied him on errands.She called Zhancheng and asked Zhancheng to discuss renting a house, and the guest room in her house was enough for people.As for how to arrange it, it all depends on what Mr. Lu wants.

She settled Mr. Lu, his grandfather and grandson, and came out of the hotel with Ye Ling. It was already dark.

After Wen Zhengyu got into the car, he leaned on Ye Ling's shoulder wearily, and said, "I suddenly feel that I am actually quite happy." When she was in the most difficult time, there were so many people who helped her, and she was not bullied.

Ye Ling rubbed Wen Zhengyu's head again.With Wen Zhengyu like this, even if she likes Wen Zhengyu, she is still willing to associate with Wen Zhengyu, and will help him when she can.

It has always been easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to send carbon in the snow.

She asked in a low voice: "Old Lu is so old that he trembles when he walks, can he get over here?"

Wen Zhengyu said: "Grandpa Lu's body and bones were still very good before. He has no serious physical problems. What he fears is that he will lose his energy. When you are old, when you lose your energy, you will... fall ill like a mountain. He has a little granddaughter. By my side, that strength can be stabilized no matter what. Not for myself, but also for my granddaughter. He is old, and he is also afraid of accidents. He is close to our house. If something happens to him, his granddaughter will also have it. Let’s take care of it so that it doesn’t end too badly.”

After she finished speaking, she leaned on Ye Ling's shoulder, looked out of the car in a daze, and asked Ye Ling, "You said, when those people did those things, didn't they think about their family members and the consequences?"

Ye Ling said: "It just depends on what you want to get, what you are willing to give up, and what kind of risks you are willing to take." Wen Zhengyu is like this, being stupid has its advantages.She rubbed Wen Zhengyu's head again.

Wen Zhengyu found out that Ye Ling, like Lian Xin, had the disease of loving to rub her hair.She asked: "Why do you and Brother Xin always like to rub my hair?"

Ye Ling smiled, naturally she didn't dare to tell the truth, she said: "Seeing that your hair is so soft, I can't help but want to mess it up." She didn't say nonsense, this is one of the reasons.

Wen Zhengyu was speechless.After a while, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Do you really donate money to the orphanage every year?"

Ye Ling made an "uh" sound, held back for several seconds, and then said, "I was teaching the child to be fluent and confident."

Wen Zhengyu: "..."

Ye Ling said to Wen Zhengyu: "Why do you take everything seriously?"

Wen Zhengyu was silent.She suddenly found that she didn't know when she started to take all Ye Ling's words seriously, and never thought that Ye Ling was just making up nonsense.

The car was too quiet, Ye Ling asked Wen Zhengyu, "Are you going to give gifts tomorrow?"

Wen Zhengyu said: "Send it, you have to go and see it before you can rest assured."

Ye Ling patted Wen Zhengyu's head again, and said in her heart: What a good boy who gives warmth and love.

Suddenly, Wen Zhengyu sat up with a jolt and said, "Wen Jing, go to Grandpa Qin's house. It's only after eight o'clock, and they haven't slept yet."

Ye Ling was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Wen Zhengyu said: "Dried vegetables, I forgot to take them when I left."

Ye Ling asked: "Is it delicious?"

Wen Zhengyu said: "The cooking method of the dried vegetables is very similar to the dried vegetables made by my grandma. The old man and I both like it. After my grandma passed away, I always miss Grandma Xu's cooking."

Ye Ling said, "It's the same when I go tomorrow."

Wen Zhengyu said: "Tomorrow, they have to find a way to save lunch. Grandpa Qin has the most eyes."

Ye Lingxin said: "No. Someone was quietly instructed by old Mr. Qin today." Wen Zhengyu, an enthusiastic and kind-hearted kid, did all the things they didn't want to show up.

She thought of the Wu family that Wen Zhengyu took her to today, and asked, "How did you meet Mr. Wu? The Mr. Wu who lives in Qingshuiyuan."

Wen Zhengyu said: "When I went to the Palace Museum to see the exhibition, we were evenly matched over the authenticity of an exhibit from the Tang Dynasty, but we couldn't take it out of the display cabinet to check the authenticity. No one obeys anyone. But we know each other if we don’t know each other.”

Ye Ling was speechless.She found that Wen Zhengyu was really talented sometimes.She went to the Forbidden City Museum to argue with people about the authenticity of the exhibits. They were not kicked out, it must be Mr. Wu's face.She asked curiously, "How old were you then?"

Wen Zhengyu said: "Seventeen or eighteen years old, high school... just finished the college entrance examination..."

Ye Ling understood in seconds.She has also heard about the strange things about the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination, so she probably came out to avoid the limelight after the examination.
