Golden Greenery

"Yo, it's Haiyang, come here." Director Zhou gently put the jade in his hands away, took off the mirror and greeted Haiyang. "Study must be very hard, right? Rest and rest, one piece at a time is the way of civil and martial arts."

"It's okay, everyone is working hard, don't dare to lag behind!" Time was running out, and Haiyang got straight to the point. "Uncle Zhou, I heard that you are an expert. I have a little thing here that I would like to ask you to palm." As he spoke, he took out the sapphire wrench and handed it to Director Zhou with both hands raised.

Director Zhou was very surprised, he was very familiar with this routine. The surprise was because the other party was just a middle school student under the age of seventeen.

He didn't pick it up, and folded his hands together, staring casually at the ocean, with a smile on his face.

Haiyang was so nervous that his heart was pounding, and he tried hard to keep his smile from becoming stiff. He felt as if sweat was dripping from his temples.

"That's fine, I'll take a look for you." After a while, Director Zhou still took it, put on his reading glasses again, and looked at it under the lamp. "Tell me, how did this thing come about?"

"It was left to me by my grandfather before his death two years ago. At that time, our uncles and brothers each had one piece. My grandfather..." Haiyang began to tell the story of his grandfather.

Haiyang's grandfather was the last cadet of the Whampoa Military Academy in Guangzhou. After graduation, he has been doing clerical work in military agencies. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Haiyang's grandfather resolutely joined the army and accompanied Xue Yue in two bloody battles in Changsha.

On the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, Haiyang's grandfather was unfortunately pierced by a stray bullet during a battle to recover the county. After escaping his life by luck, he could no longer serve in the army. The old man returned to his home in Guanzhong, Shaanxi with a disability, and was discharged from the army due to injury at a young age.

The elderly are those who have made great contributions to the nation.

After returning to his hometown, the old man married the three-bedroom concubine in one go. This heroic act caused Haiyang to have as many as fourteen uncles and cousins ​​more than half a century later.

However, returning home due to injury, Haiyang's grandfather did not follow the national army to participate in the disastrous defeat of the War of Liberation, which allowed him to survive the many liquidations after the founding of New China. In the official words: He has no blood debts in his hands, and he has beaten devils during the Anti-Japanese War. Therefore, the old hero enjoyed the anti-Japanese subsidy of the new China and was able to take care of his life. He died at the age of eighty-nine when the two thousand years were handed over from the old to the new.

"Uncle Zhou, you must know that the officials of the Kuomintang have a lot of good things in their hands. But after they were sold off, there was nothing left." Haiyang continued to interpret.

"No, my grandpa called us grandchildren together before he died, and asked each of us to pick one and keep it as a toy." Storytelling is Haiyang's strong point, so he casually talked about it. "I still saw that the five princes in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" were very funny, so I chose this one."

In fact, everything Haiyang said was completely true except for the origin of the jade finger. Back then, Haiyang chose a Ming Xuande blue and white fairness cup.

When you tell a lie, you must be nine percent true and one false, and use nine percent of the absolutely true facts to cover up the most critical part of the falsehood that you want to hide the most, so that there will be no flaws.

Why can't you just say it was bought? If it is said that he bought it by himself, the source of the huge cost is that Hai Yang, a high school student, cannot explain it clearly at all. And if it is stated realistically that the money came from Zhuoyang’s remittance from Germany, inserting one more person will make the recipient feel troubled, and it will appear that he has premeditated, which makes Director Zhou alert, and it is very easy Bad things could happen because of this.

The ocean is gifted!

Zhou Chu was noncommittal when he heard the story of Haiyang, but his eyes had already clearly seen the wrench in his hand. Regardless of whether it is from patina, qin, or money, the well-informed Director Zhou confirmed that this is indeed a sapphire ring finger from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Although not too unusual,

But it's a real thing.

After telling Haiyang about the thing in his hand, Director Zhou said, "It's the real thing, so keep it well. Since it was left to you by your grandfather, you might as well keep it for your thoughts." The jade wrench lightly placed on the table, motioning Haiyang to take it back.

Two antiques of character, pay attention not to pass hands. Director Zhou is an expert!

"Uncle Zhou, look, I don't understand bullshit, I'm clumsy, and sooner or later things will be ruined in my hands. Uncle Zhou, you are a true god, so I'll leave it here with you, and it's worth it. Uncle Zhou, I honor you." At this moment, Haiyang was no longer nervous and had completely entered the state.

Director Zhou stared straight at Haiyang with sharp eyes. Although Haiyang smiled humbly on his face, he didn't dodge his eyes in the slightest.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Director Zhou's expression became serious.

"Do not burn fake incense in front of real Bodhisattvas. Uncle Zhou, I really want to ask you for something. The thing is like this, I have a little friend who grew up with him. He..." Haiyang told the three thieves everything about Old Mu. Father said it again.

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask you to see if you can make him suffer less and suffer less on the premise of not violating policies and systems. I heard that some prison bosses like to bully New here, my friend is still young, so..."

"In addition, my friend wants to learn how to repair cars in it. He wants to master a certain skill, so he can find a serious job to do when he comes out in the future, so that nothing will go astray again. Uncle Zhou, you If it's convenient, can you say hello there. Of course, forget about the trouble, I'll listen to you, Uncle Zhou."

Last week, Haiyang bought some daily necessities and took the time to visit Lao Mu on Bailuyuan, and learned about the situation in the prison from Lao Mu.

The prison where Lao Mu is serving his sentence is a provincial pilot project, with fully standardized management. There are many opportunities for labor and learning, the purpose is to allow prisoners to reform through labor and learn skills. Among the many projects, car repair is the most popular one. One is that car repair is a relatively in-demand skill outside, and it is easy to get a job after learning it. Another one, the management of the car repair area is relatively relaxed, so it's easier to stay there, right?

Old Mu showed great interest in learning how to repair cars.

"Who taught you to do this? Why didn't his parents show up?" Director Zhou remained calm.

"Oh, Uncle Zhou, you don't even know that I, Uncle Mu, are simply..." Haiyang told Director Zhou about the situation in Old Mu's family, focusing on Uncle Mu's stubborn character and his desire to save face. Bad virtue.

"Uncle Zhou, look, my Uncle Mu has such a bad temper. Otherwise, why should I, a high school student, follow me around?" Haiyang felt quite helpless when he said that.

"You made friends with Zhizheng just to take advantage of him?" Director Zhou frowned.

He is extremely disgusted that some things involve his family members, especially his precious son who is a single heir for three generations.
