National Tide 1980.

Chapter 644

As the saying goes, all goodness and filial piety come first.

It is true that Ning Weimin has no relatives anymore, but being a teacher is like being a father.

Since he thought of everyone, how could he forget his master, Kang Shude?

After all the miscellaneous things were arranged, Ning Weimin made a special trip to talk to the old man.

There is only one purpose, to persuade Kang Shude to resign from the job of guarding the gate and enjoy the happiness of life.

"Grandpa, you see that part of your house has come back now. I bought a new yard. Our father and son have bought so many belongings. No matter how unlucky we are in the rest of our lives, we can live on it. Good day."

"What's more, your apprentice and I are doing well now. Even this salary and bonus are worth ten ministers. Do you think it is necessary for you to continue working?"

"I didn't say that. As far as the situation of our father and father is concerned, outsiders will feel surprised when they look at it. There are only a few neighbors in our courtyard who don't say anything. But when we leave this courtyard, the neighbors may not understand. Yes. Maybe someone is saying behind my back that I am immoral. You said that I will lose the reputation of not caring for the elderly, isn't it quite unfair?"

Ning Weimin tried his best to express his kindness tactfully.

But the problem is that the elderly in this era are the most particular about their superiority and inferiority.

Even the most humble person outside is still "the emperor" when he returns home.

The most annoying thing is that people of the younger generation interfere with their own behavior and habits.

As a grandson and daughter-in-law, even with good intentions, there are suspicions of pointing fingers and committing disobedience.

So when Kang Shude heard these words, it was as if he had been touched, and his eyes were picked.

"What's the matter? You want me to quit my job just for your own reputation! Cut, am I doing it for money? You, just take care of your own affairs, and don't worry about mine... "

Ning Weimin had no choice but to apologize quickly.

"Old man, don't get me wrong. Of course I know that you are not doing it for money. You go to work because you have something to do. You don't want to stay at home and stare at the wall in a daze. Right? I mean, now our The situation is different from the past. If you are willing, you can do a lot of things. You will never be idle. Then why should we let others control us? We are not free."

"Look, although we got a part of this house back, we still have to repair it later. How will it be finished? Don't you go out and supervise it yourself? What should we do if it doesn't meet your wishes? And we and my father Apart from you, who else is capable of identifying, summarizing, and sorting out those possessions and objects?"

"It's not an exaggeration to say that it's useless even if experts from the Forbidden City come. One is that they are limited by categories, and they have their own specialties. They may not be good at miscellaneous categories. Second, they don't have the ability to manage antique shops like you. You Back then, it was Mr. Song's big cabinet inspection. How to arrange, how to put, how to store, how to store, who can compare with you?"

"Also, isn't there a thrift shop that earns foreign exchange in my Zhai Palace? This guy Sun Wufu only accepts but doesn't choose. I haven't passed it for a long time because I have been busy with other things. Now all the things he collected are under pressure, there must be a lot of good things in there. Without selection, thrift stores can’t buy new ones. We can’t let foreigners pick up our leaks, right? If you come along If you can help me with palm eyes, then I can..."

The more Ning Weimin talked, the more energetic he became.

But this time, before he even finished speaking, he was stunned by Kang Shude.

The old man gave a strange "hmm" and continued the conversation.

"Yes, then you are really suitable! I said that to persuade me to quit my job like this? You just want to use me for nothing. It sounds good, let me leave the jade factory to work for you, and you arrange these jobs for me. Which one is it? Easy? Then I am not more tired?"

Look, how hard it is to communicate with Kang Shude about this matter.

I don't know if it's because people of the upper age are so stubborn, so suspicious, and so sensitive.

Anyway, good words cannot be understood normally.

Ning Weimin's kindness was completely treated by the old man as a donkey.

Things have gone sour.

But Ning Weimin was not discouraged, and was amused by the old man instead.

Because in this matter, Kang Shuode's stubbornness and unreasonableness were exactly the same as other ordinary old people, but he was too childlike.

Compared with the usual way of talking about all kinds of old allusions, it seems like a different person.

So Ning Weimin could only resort to coaxing children.

"I said, old man, where did you say that? It's too outlandish. I'm your apprentice, please help me, how can I call it a command? You are an old man, with all your abilities, you just want to stay buried and watch the gate. , Is this plausible? How do you teach me so that I can be successful?"

"Besides, even if I am really employed by my master, I am still polite and polite to them. This is what you taught. The more capable people are, the more we respect them. I do this to outsiders. Stop talking to you."

"It's even more impossible for me to let you work hard for me in vain, and don't feel sorry for you at all. Don't forget, we are not going to work, and everything is up to you. You can do it if you want, and you can rest if you don't want to."

"Let's say you come to Zhai Palace, just like you go to the park when you have nothing to do. I will pick you up in the morning and evening, and we will go to and from get off work together. For dinner, would you like to eat the simple western food in the coffee shop of Zhai Palace, or the court dishes of Tan Palace Dim sum, porridge and noodles are fine. Even if you are willing to eat at the canteen in Tiantan Park, someone from Zhai Palace will cook for you.”

"And I have an office in the fasting palace. There is a big sofa in it. You can drink tea at noon, read the newspaper, and have a little sleep. Outside the fasting palace, there are many old people on weekdays." There are many people who play the violin and sing opera, play chess, and walk birds. There is also no shortage of people who chat with you to relieve boredom."

"If you are willing to raise birds, let's get a few too. Don't you love Peking opera and can play the piano, so you can pick them up again. Every Sunday, there is a small second-hand market we run at the gate of the Zhai Palace, and the snacks in the service bureau are also available. It will be sent to a part of the coffee shop in the Zhai Palace for a buffet. You can also eat and drink as you like."

"In addition, you have to help me choose things, and it's not in vain. Half of the things you choose will belong to you. From now on, half of my salary will belong to you. How about it? Let's put it this way, you have to listen to me and help me I sit in the Zhai Palace. You will not be Master Kang from now on, you will be Prince Kang..."

At the end, Ning Weimin couldn't help being frivolous, and teased Master with a little disrespect.

But from these words, Kang Shude could clearly feel how thoughtful the apprentice thought about the details for him, and fully felt the kind of concern for him.

What's more, if you ask yourself, this treatment really catches up with the prince.Even if it's a joke, there is truth in it.

So instead of being angry, the old man was silent, and asked hesitantly for a long time.

"You arrange it for me like this? Are you not afraid of other people's gossip?"

"Gossip?" Ning Weimin laughed. "That's our territory, who dares?"

These words were arrogant, Kang Shude couldn't help frowning.

Disgusted with Tusheng, but unexpectedly Ning Weimin said another reason, which made him lose his temper completely.

"Hey, I know, I know, you sound unhappy, and you want to scold me. But what I really mean is that I have managed all the relationships between people inside and outside the Tiantan Park are very stable. I give The benefits they bring cannot be given by others. You are my only relative, so what if I want you to enjoy yourself there? No one has any objections. In other words, I want to take care of you No, I can't take care of you, so what's the point of me being the leader? I'm really bored with this job. Even the president Song of our company came, and I said the same thing."

Following that, Ning Weimin took out another certificate of deposit and placed it in front of Kang Shude.

"Old man, I didn't take much care of you at first, I was confused. This is 2 yuan, and it will be due soon. You can take it as pocket money."

"I have another idea. After you quit your job, how about I accompany you around the country. We can go wherever you want. As long as you want to go."

"Don't look at me like that. I think about it now. The things in my hands are not that important. You can let them go. The first thing you need to do in life is to know how to cherish your loved ones."

These words made Kang Shude's heart warm.

He didn't want the money, so he just pushed it back.

But it was so strange, his lips trembled for a long time, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't have the right words.

Instead, the corners of his eyes flickered.
