Four Seasons Three Meals

In the new week, Cong Shan will go on a business trip again.

Mr. Cong was going to Australia for vacation, and a few days before he left, he asked Jiang Huai to drink tea with him at Cong's house.

Jiang Huai couldn't figure out what the old man was thinking.

Ordinary people are also very scared when they see the old man, as if he can eat people.

Jiang Huai is also afraid of the old man, not the kind with a guilty conscience, this kind of fear is more of a kind of awe that loves the house and the black.

The old man was in a good mood that day, and he talked to Jiang Huai, saying:

"Boss doesn't have any ambitions. He lives a decent life. He lives in a decent house and drives a decent car. If he lives alone, he can have enough money with the salary from the group. But he has a lot of expenses and needs to support a The Chinese medicine hall is more expensive than people. After calculation, it should be beyond the means. He doesn't want to inherit the family property. In the future when I'm gone, he won't be able to get anything, and Cong Yue will take it all away. Lawyer Jiang, such a poor boy , do you still want to spend time with him?"

After listening for a long time, Jiang Huai asked calmly, "You probably said the same thing to Qi Xinyou, right?"

The old man suddenly became a little cunning, smiled slightly, and said, "You are very good at guessing."

Jiang Huai thought the old man was quite interesting.

When people in the world talk about marriage, you are often the one who deceives me.

Those who are elders will praise the younger generation with hype.

Only the old man was the one who dismantled his own grandson, Qi Xinyou was so frightened that he hesitated, and now he wanted to test him again.

It seems that the old man doesn't really like Qi Xinyou either.

Jiang Huai said flatly: "What a coincidence, I'm also a person without ambition. I don't think about making progress all day long and idle around. It's just right for Dr. Cong to look at mung beans."

The old man smiled and didn't speak any more. He asked Jiang Huai to turn on the old-fashioned tape recorder and listen to an opera.

"The good scenery in the day suddenly changed, and looking back at the prosperity is like a dream, and the remaining life is a gleam of Jingtao."

Towards evening, Jiang Huai said goodbye.

The old man asked the servant aunt to take him downstairs.

In the stairwell, the aunt smiled and said: "The old man has a big temper, and he doesn't like people who are not clear-headed, and he doesn't like people with bad hearts. He always said that these two types of people do things that either harm others or themselves. "Lawyer Jiang, you don't do either, the old man likes you in his heart, but he didn't mention it."

Jiang Huai didn't say anything, thinking that the old man had quite a personality.

On the weekend, the day before the old man left, he invited him to the theater.

There are no shows in the theater, and fanciers join in the show, and several old ladies and grandpas dressed up there.

The musician who played the small gong was sick and couldn't come, so the old man asked Jiang Huai to make up the numbers.

Jiang Huai didn't know how to play, his aunt taught him to play, with four beats.

Jiang Huai studied for a while and was dumbfounded.

The aunt stood behind him, patted his shoulder, and gave him a signal.

Jiang Huai was sweating profusely, thinking that the old man is really not an ordinary person, and he is very good at tossing people.

The rhythm was slow, but Mr. Cong said, it was okay.

I didn't expect him to learn it in three to two minutes. How can there be such a person in the world?

The servant aunt said: "Lawyer Jiang has a good attitude and doesn't rush with his elders."

The old man's temper became much better, and he said, "We'll come together next time."

Jiang Huai thought, next time he should pretend to be sick.

Mr. Cong asked: "Are you thinking of releasing my old man's pigeons next time?"

Jiang Huai said no.

The old man smiled and said: "You juniors, I can tell what you are thinking when you roll your eyes. You are too young to hide things."

Jiang Huai found out that the old man likes to tease people, so he shouldn't have sent it to his door.

The old man suddenly said: "If you are willing to spend time with the elders, you should be rewarded."

The old man took out an old-fashioned pocket watch and said, "This watch is old, and it can still walk and listen to music."

Auntie took it and handed it to Jiang Huai, but Jiang Huai didn't dare to accept it.

The old man said: "It's not a good thing. When Cong Shan was young, he liked to listen to the music in his pocket watch. Putting it on yours is the same as putting it on his."

Jiang Huai was a little surprised and accepted it.

The old man suddenly changed the subject and said, "If you see something in the world, you can get it if you see it. You can simmer it slowly and make no noise. You can always get it. Lawyer Jiang, don't you think so?"

The aunt smiled and said, "Lawyer Jiang knew it long ago."

Jiang Huai didn't say anything, the old man saw through his own chess moves, so he had nothing to say.

The old man said: "The boss recently called to greet me, and he was very insincere. Today he said he would take me to Africa to see animals, and tomorrow he would take me to Antarctica to take a cruise and see penguins. Anyway, he didn't want me to stay in Jiangcheng, for fear that I would make trouble you."

Jiang Huai's face was tense, and he laughed in his heart, and he didn't dare to answer the words.

The aunt smiled and said, "I've never seen the eldest young master being so difficult. He's obviously a very reasonable child."

The old man snorted and said, "Where is it difficult to deal with, everyone knows what he is thinking. Come up with these ghost ideas to scare the old man."

At noon, the old man came home, and Jiang Huai ate with him.

Lunch is very simple, red bean osmanthus rice balls with soy milk and pickles.Jiang Huai went into the kitchen to help, but the servant aunt didn't let him stay and talk.

The glutinous rice flour is mixed with water and kneaded into a dough, which is then pulled into small glutinous rice balls as big as little fingers.The red bean paste is stewed with rock sugar until it becomes soft, and it is served in a purple casserole, which is so full that it is about to overflow.

Jiang Huai took a bite, the glutinous rice balls were soft and chewy, the sweet-scented osmanthus had a sweet aftertaste, and the red bean paste was mellow, which went well with soy milk.

When Jiang Huai thought of the first time he came to Cong's house to eat, everyone had suspicions in their hearts.

A table of good food is wasted, but there is no sincerity.

After dinner, the old man wanted to find some idle books to read.

Jiang Huai got up and went to the study to get a book, when Cong Yue came out of the study.

Cong Yue didn't say anything and left.

Jiang Huai took a few books on the table, and accidentally saw an investment document on the table, with the company name and stock code written on it.

He didn't move, left, and went upstairs to read to the old man.

The old man listened to Jiang Huai's reading for a while and fell asleep.

Jiang Huai got up, closed the door quietly, bid farewell to the servants and aunts outside, and went downstairs.

On Monday, Jiang Huai delivered the machine to the old man and went to work in the company.

Cheng Yang asked Jiang Huai: "Lawyer, I heard that the Cong family is doing acquisitions recently, involving several listed companies. Do you have any inside information? Let's buy in advance, how much we have, and how much we can earn!"

Jiang Huai smiled and said, "I have no news. It's insider trading, and a fine of three times is considered light. Are you trying to push me into the fire pit?"

Cheng Yang smiled and said: "It seems that Cong Shan has already revealed the news to you."

When Jiang Huai heard this, he suddenly hesitated, thinking of the document in the study of the Cong family.

Listed companies are always cautious when making acquisitions, and leaking ahead of time will lead to soaring acquisition costs.

Cong Yue put such important documents on the desk.

If Cheng Yang really bought stocks with a lot of money, it would be no fun to find out, and Cong Shan would definitely be implicated.

Seeing that Jiang Huai was distracted, Cheng Yang smiled and said, "Big lawyer, let me ask casually, why are you so serious?"

Jiang Huai said nothing.

He's guessing with no proof.

On the weekend, Shang Chen took Jiang Huai to drink tea and go shopping.

After dinner, the two of them were bored and wandered into the architectural museum.

Seeing the restoration model of Genyue of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, the hot spring water flows over the stones in front of the palace gate, creating a cloud of smoke.

Next to it is a soil fault accumulated from the Jin Dynasty to modern times, which is three or four meters high.

Shang Chen said with a smile: "This 2000 years is quite scary, where did all the mud come from?"

Jiang Huai said: "It is estimated that the silt washed from the upstream to the downstream will pile up two centimeters in ten years, and it will be four meters in 2000, which is about the same height."

Shang Chen said: "Then we live another 50 years, and our feet will rise by another ten centimeters."

Jiang Huai said: "The scourge will last for a thousand years. When we are a thousand years old, we will visit this museum again with a ruler."

Both laughed.

Shang Chen suddenly asked him: "Are you still doing handicrafts now?"

When Jiang Huai was in college, he liked to make models. In his spare time, he faced ancient books and made some small pavilions and small palaces. He worked hard and made them exquisitely.

Jiang Huai said, "If I don't do it, I guess my hands will shake while holding the glue."

Shang Chen said with a smile: "What a pity. Most of the things I learned when I was young are utilitarian, either to grow up to have a meal, or to relieve boredom so that people will not go crazy. Such a pure hobby like yours is really not good. See you more."

Jiang Huai asked with a smile: "Then you like to memorize the law, which is both a job and a hobby, what should you do?"

Shang Chen has a good memory and can recite things quickly. He was full of enthusiasm in college, so he studied law.

He laughed and said, "I'm regretting it! My hobby turned into a job, and I became a bald mage!"

Jiang Huai smiled.

Shang Chen suddenly said: "I heard that Cong Yun was plotted against by someone, so he got out."

Cong Yun's incident was a big one, and everyone in Jiangcheng knew about it.

Jiang Huai said, "Cong Yun has already moved out of Cong's house."

Shang Chen said: "It seems that the Cong family is not a good place, I regret introducing you to this family."

Jiang Huai said: "If you don't introduce me to a blind date, how will I know Cong Shan?"

Shang Chen said: "He travels frequently like this now, you live like a boudoir who hates her husband, how tired you are."

Jiang Huai said: "I'm just dawdling in my life. After eating and sleeping, and after sleeping and eating, everything is half a bucket of water."

Shang Chen said with a smile: "This sentence is simply a curse! Who doesn't live like this?"

Jiang Huai paused, and said seriously: "But Congshan makes me feel a little different, a little unique."

Shang Chen smiled and said, "If you keep talking, my teeth will be sore."

Jiang Huai smiled, he was not ashamed to say that.

In the evening, Jiang Huai and Cong Shan called and chatted about several sky-high auctions recently sold by Sotheby's in Hong Kong.

Cong Shan said: "The value of the collection comes more from the meaning given to it, and auction is a quantitative behavior."

Jiang Huai remembered the pocket watch Mr. Cong gave him, took it out of the drawer, and showed Cong Shan.

Jiang Huai said: "Doctor Cong, how about this old pocket watch? How much is it worth?"

Cong Shan smiled and said, "This piece is a priceless treasure."

Jiang Huai was puzzled, and Cong Shan explained: "This is my grandmother's dowry. Back then, she insisted on marrying her grandfather despite her family's obstruction. She only had this pocket watch with her. When she was alive, she often said that when I grow up, I will give it to my lover. "

Jiang Huai was a little surprised, it turned out that the old man had already accepted him.

He was so happy that he could read even difficult math books, and even pretended to make a cup of coffee.

After watching for three or four hours, the video was always on, and he didn't feel sleepy, so he looked at the mountains on the screen again.

Cong Shan said: "Huaibao, are you going to look at me so brightly all night?"

Jiang Huai said, "I can't sleep."

Cong Shan said, "Did you win the lottery?"

Jiang Huai shook his head and said, "I drank that can of coffee you treasured."

He didn't sleep all night, and he would definitely be useless tomorrow, so he might as well continue reading the book.

The can of coffee was brought back by Cong Shan from Italy, and it was very refreshing. Cong Shan knew that Jiang Huai couldn't sleep, so he didn't urge him to go to sleep.

The two of them were in front of the computer, with the video turned on, each watching their own material, talking one after another.

Jiang Huai is much happier. It seems that the boredom and troubles in the past are not worth worrying about.
