The Porcelain of Rebirth Comes to Work
Chapter 1 Dream Chapter Hujiawan
"Of course I also have my dream—in fact, my dream is very simple, that is, to go back to my grandpa's porcelain kiln and learn all my grandpa's good skills."
Qi Tianjiao smiled and stood under the spotlight to respond to his partner's question. He has a tall figure and handsome facial features, and he looks a bit more dazzling than the Best Actor of the Year who is holding the trophy next to him.
Hearing Qi Tianjiao's words, the hostess who was partnering with him giggled, "Tianjiao really knows how to joke!"
Qi Tianjiao is a well-known gold medal host. He has first-class good looks and eloquence. The programs he hosts range from food to sports, from sports to entertainment, and from entertainment to science, education, and adventure. And so on, covering almost every field of content.His erudition and humor have attracted countless audiences. As long as the ratings of the programs he hosts are rising steadily, his fans are no less than many stars!
Facing such a senior with senior qualifications, the actor of the year also spoke with a smile on his face: "Senior Tianjiao like porcelain art?"
Qi Tianjiao said frankly: "Yes, I like it very much." He seemed a little sad, "It's a pity that I'm probably a very unlucky person, and the things I like usually don't last long."
Seeing that Qi Tianjiao seemed unwilling to continue talking, the hostess cleverly changed the subject.
After the awards ceremony, Qi Tianjiao took off his make-up backstage. Being a public figure in the entertainment circle suffers from this, but anyone who wants to face the camera must wear make-up—it doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman, you can't look at it without makeup!
Qi Tianjiao closed his eyes and let the makeup artist work on his face, hoping that the other party would clean up all the troublesome things on his face.
At this time, a cold snort came from the door. It turned out to be a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, a whole round younger than him, but he looked particularly arrogant: "Our Chu family is so good. You don't want to come back, but you just think about the Hu family. That shabby settlement! Their porcelain kilns have been burned out long ago, and if such a major accident happened, Hujiawan porcelain would have been withdrawn from the market long ago!"
Qi Tianjiao didn't care about the young man either, he got up and put on his coat, stood where he was and stared fixedly at the young man.Compared with grandpa, the Chu family is a well-known family of ceramics. Since the Ming Dynasty, it has dominated a large number of domestic and overseas markets!
Compared with the Chu family, the Hujiawan where my grandfather lives is really not enough, but he can't accept the Chu family no matter what!
Because the Chu family is the root of all tragedies, if his grandfather had not adopted a white-eyed wolf, and if the Chu family had not been so attractive, Hujiawan would not have suffered that man-made disaster, and the grandfather's family would not have been separated from the family. The porcelain kilns were buried in the fire together!
Over the years, he has accepted all kinds of jobs and appeared on all kinds of shows in order to rebuild Hujiawan.Although Hujiawan was hit by a fire back then, not everyone lost their lives, at least the second uncle who went out to purchase new paints was still alive!
As long as there are people around, he is not afraid that Hu Jiawan will not come back.He gritted his teeth and endured so many hard days for just one thing.
When the Chu family saw that he was in his early years, they wanted to borrow his influence. They didn't even think about what supported him all the way to the present!
Qi Tianjiao met the young man's gaze and said with a faint smile, "I remember that year when my father left the Chu family, he said, 'From today onwards, my son and I will be neither named Ning nor Chu, but our surname is Qi— —From today onwards, we have nothing to do with you!’—You should know this sentence, right?”
The young man froze and glared at Qi Tianjiao angrily.
Qi Tianjiao said: "It seems that I know it, but you don't understand it? Since you don't understand it, I will explain it to you reluctantly. It means that I have the same relationship with your Chu family. ,No!"
Qi Tianjiao's tone was gentle, but there was a bit of coldness in his words, and the young man's heart trembled when he heard it.Not to be outdone, he forced himself to stare for a while, and then snorted again: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! Who cares!" After finishing speaking, he ran away without looking back.
Qi Tianjiao smiled, went to the parking lot and drove home.After a busy day, he felt extremely tired and fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.But maybe it's because he saw that young man from the Chu family just now, he actually dreamed about something that happened a long time ago, when his mother and grandfather were still alive, and his father was still the pillar of the family. I had a very comfortable time.
Mother, grandfather, father, uncle, cousin...everyone came to his dream as if they had made an appointment.
So he is probably a very unlucky person, and all the things he misses will not last long...
Hujiawan, Thang Long Kiln.
"Wonderful! It's really wonderful!" Hu Delai, who was stroking his beard, looked at it for a moment, and then clapped up, "This ten thousand horses galloping together is really natural and beautiful!"
Hujiawan is a well-known hometown of porcelain. Every family has a kiln, and every household can produce.
Among the many porcelain factories in Hujiawan, Hu Delai's Shenglong Kiln is the largest one.
The Shenglong Kiln is built on the mountain, climbing steadily, and the whole kiln is more than [-] meters long, just like a giant dragon flying to the sky!Its structure fully borrows from the mountain, and after the kiln is opened, it heats up quickly and cools down quickly. It has been the leader of Hujiawan porcelain output for so many years.
This year Hu Delai happened to be planning to celebrate his [-]th birthday, and his eldest son Hu Guangming fired a "Kiln Treasure" in Shenglong Kiln. Such a good omen made him smile with joy!
The so-called "Kiln Treasure" is actually the product of the kiln change. There may be two results of the kiln change. One is kiln disease. "Kiln Treasure", the porcelain has brilliant and strange colors, and these colors will form a very unique image!
Hu Guangming's new porcelain is such a "kiln treasure": it happens to be a beautiful picture of galloping horses, and the color is so bright that people can't take their eyes off it!
Hu Delai stroked his beard and boasted, "Good thing, good thing!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a young guy running in yelling: "Old Hu! Old Hu! It's not good, hurry up and find a doctor. Cui Cui came back with Xiao Lang. Xiao Lang seems to be very sick. Not light!"
Hu Delai suddenly stood up from his seat: "What! What's going on? Call Dr. Xue over!"
Although the family is full of children and grandchildren, but grandson Ning Xianglang is Hu Delai's heart and soul!
This little guy has been very likable since he was a child. He looks like his daughter Hu Lingcui when she was a child. She is pink and cute, and she has inherited his son-in-law's good brain. Well, there are so many children in the family who don't like him, who don't eagerly look forward to his coming!
Well done, how could his precious grandson be sick!
Hu Delai called his eldest son Hu Guangming to run out, and soon saw Hu Lingcui who was holding Ning Xianglang sitting on a bench at the station.
Seeing her father and brother rushing over, Hu Lingcui immediately called out: "Dad, brother, you are here!"
Hu Delai didn't bother to answer, he looked at his precious grandson first, and saw the gauze wrapped on his grandson's head at a glance!
Hu Delai was very distressed, and quickly asked: "What's going on? Why are you so careless?"
Hu Lingcui's face was a little angry: "Didn't An Guo go to study in the capital? An Guo sent a message saying that his grandma was ill, so I had to take Xiao Lang back to see her, but after returning for a long time, Xiao Lang was arrested. The person was pushed down and hit his forehead on a stone!"
Ning Anguo is the technical director of the factory, and also serves as the deputy factory director. He often goes back to various places to learn and learn.
Hu Delai grasped the key point accurately: "Who pushed it?"
Hu Lingcui said: "Xiao Lang, his cousin, is a bully! His grandma also said that he is ignorant, who is he fooling? That kid is two years older than Xiao Lang! I woke up this morning and found that Xiao Lang had a fever, so I called the doctor I came here to see Xiao Lang, but his grandma said it was expensive, so I needed to be seen by someone else, I was so angry, I just came back with Xiao Lang in my arms!"
Hu Delai was very angry after hearing this, and asked: "Did your mother-in-law not teach that little bully a lesson?"
Hu Lingcui's face was tense, and her tone was not very good, "No! I want to see what kind of grandson she will indulge if she continues to indulge her like this!"
Hu Delai was very annoyed.
He had heard about that in-law's eccentricity, and it was usually fine, so could such a thing be indulged?Isn't this encouraging that kid to kill and set fire in the future!
But Hu Delai is also aware of his daughter's temper. Although she looks gentle and pleasant, she is actually a choking pepper, so there is no need to worry that she will be bullied!He said to Hu Lingcui: "Take Xiao Lang back first, so as not to cause a burn."
Both father and brother were there, and Hu Lingcui felt at ease, nodded and followed everyone back.
When Hu Lingcui brought his son back to the room, Dr. Xue also arrived.
Hu Lingcui asked anxiously: "Doctor Xue, is it serious?"
Dr. Xue comforted: "Don't worry, I have to check his wound first."
He stepped forward to take a look at Ning Xianglang's eyelids, but Ning Xianglang on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.
At this time, "Ning Xianglang" has been listening to "Ning Xianglang" with his eyes closed for a long time. In fact, since he woke up, he is no longer the six-year-old Ning Xianglang, but a ray of loneliness that has endured countless days and nights alone. Hun - the lonely soul from 25 years later - the lonely soul who thought he was in a dream!
He is "Qi Tianjiao" who has survived alone for many years, Tianjiao Tianjiao, everyone says he is the proud son of heaven, who knows that he is an unlucky outcast!
All these things that he can't even forget in his dreams were taken away 20 years ago. During those 7000 days and nights, he only thought about one thing - rebuilding Hujiawan!
Suddenly seeing the young grandfather Hu Delai and his mother Hu Lingcui who was still alive and well, "Ning Xianglang" felt the blood in his whole body rushing to his heart, and he couldn't suppress the overwhelming excitement .
This must be a dream!
For so many years, he has traveled through mountains and rivers and crossed rivers and seas for countless nights, but he can't get back his dream!
"Ning Xianglang" wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.
Seeing this, Hu Lingcui thought that her son was stunned by yesterday's accident, so she jumped over Dr. Xue and hugged her son in her arms: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Lang, mom is here!"
The real and warm embrace made "Ning Xianglang" tremble in his whole heart.
He stretched out his arms to hug Hu Lingcui, wanting to open his mouth to call someone, but that name has been silenced in his throat for more than 30 years, and he couldn't find the correct accent at all, so he could only tighten his hands tighter and tighter!
Because he was afraid that the dream would dissipate, his palms were already filled with cold sweat.
Hu Lingcui felt distressed seeing him like this, and she gently patted her son's back: "Xiao Lang, don't be afraid, mom is here, and mom won't let anyone hurt you again!"
This kind of relief overlapped with the memory hidden deep in his mind, making "him" almost burst into tears.
How many years!How many years!
Ever since the fire destroyed Hujiawan, he never had anything that was so ordinary!
If this is a dream, even if he dies in this dream, he is willing!
"Ning Xianglang" closed his eyes tightly, and the long-lost tears rolled down his face.
Maybe it was because his mood fluctuated too much, and he was soon overwhelmed by bouts of fatigue.
His consciousness became groggy again.
Hu Lingcui was frightened by her son's waking up and fainting, and quickly asked Dr. Xue to come forward and check.
Dr. Xue took the pulse again, it was really strange - Ning Xianglang's pulse gradually calmed down, completely normal!
Check the temperature again, and the fever has subsided!
Dr. Xue untied the bandage on Ning Xianglang's head, checked the wound, and said, "The fever has subsided! Xiao Lang probably clings to Cui Cui because he was frightened. Cui Cui, keep a watchful eye and comfort him well. There is a big problem. But the wound is on the head, so be careful when changing the dressing."
After hearing this, Hu Lingcui finally let go of her hanging heart. After asking about the precautions for taking care of her son, she thanked her again and again, and sent Dr. Xue out of the house in person.
Hu Delai told his elder son, Hu Guangming, "Go and cook some food for Cuicui. She came in a hurry, so she must have nothing to fill her belly!"
Hu Guangming responded quickly: "Okay, Cuicui, you wait, I'll go right away!"
The concern of her father and brother made Hu Lingcui's brows relax, and she was not too polite to her own family. She turned around and sat back on the bedside, stroking her son's small back, and comforted her son softly: "Be good, Xiao Lang, don't be afraid; Lang, don't be afraid..."
Qi Tianjiao smiled and stood under the spotlight to respond to his partner's question. He has a tall figure and handsome facial features, and he looks a bit more dazzling than the Best Actor of the Year who is holding the trophy next to him.
Hearing Qi Tianjiao's words, the hostess who was partnering with him giggled, "Tianjiao really knows how to joke!"
