National Tide 1980.

Chapter 748
The bitterness in Chang Yuling's heart and the sadness in his emotions undoubtedly all stem from the Chang family's worry about the death of the family, who has no successors.

This is a common problem in the art and beauty industry in Beijing in this era.

Right now, almost all veteran craftsmen in the art and crafts industry in Beijing are worrying about this kind of thing.

On the one hand, it is their exquisitely crafted products, which are difficult to sell at a high price due to the monopoly acquisition of the foreign trade department.

No factory likes to do things like this.

What's more, now the country has let go of the right to self-management.

As a factory leader, it is inevitable to require less research and development and no longer invest.

On the other hand, the efficiency of mechanized production is much higher than that of handicraft production, and the technical threshold is low.

Using machines to sell low-end products has a large volume and makes a lot of money. The young workers in the factory are too lazy to learn the craft and are willing to use machines to make low-end products.

Of course, the factory no longer supports old artists with apprentices, which is a waste of manpower.

This has caused today's old craftsmen to become a drag on various factories.

They are no longer valued or respected, and almost all of them retire with a sense of loss.

All in all, if Ning Weimin didn't exist, almost the entire art and crafts industry in Beijing would focus on how to make quick money.

No one cares whether there will be a phenomenon of lost skills and broken skills.

It is even more impossible to see future market saturation and vicious competition.

I am afraid that in the end, only when they are trapped in the fact that their products cannot be sold due to single varieties and outdated designs, can they wake up and realize how stupid they are.

But at that time, it will be too late to regret.

Watching those machines with a sad face and anxious to regret, it should be a tragedy that most manufacturers in the art industry cannot avoid or avoid.

Fortunately, Ning Weimin changed some things.

He finally transformed several sub-district factories, and laid the foundation for future development by picking up the leaks of large state-owned factories.

He finally preserved the possibility of inheriting the traditional crafts of brocade boxes, silk sculptures, palace lanterns, wall paintings, feeding utensils, and antique porcelain.

At least it can give Chang Yuling something to rely on, so that Putaochang's grapes don't disappear from the world.

At least Jiang Sanchang, who is retired at home, can barely maintain the last bit of decency in front of his family and neighbors.

On this day, Jiang Sanchang attended the feast in a high-spirited car, and returned home full of wine and food.

His mood should have been described by the phrase "The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day".

With the Jiang family's craftsmanship, he showed his face in front of so many art colleagues and won a bonus. He originally wanted to come back and have a good talk with his wife.

But it never occurred to him that at noon, just as soon as he entered the courtyard, he discovered a strange thing at the door of the house.

There were actually people blocking the door of his house asking for money and people in a big way.

They clamored that they must hand over their family members, or they would give money.

The people in the capital are so kind, which caused the neighbors in the whole courtyard to gather in front of his house to watch the excitement.

Needless to say, based on his intuition, Jiang Sanchang knew that it was probably his unworthy son who caused the trouble.

This immediately wiped out his good mood.

I was anxious and ashamed, and I began to blame my family members for their ignorance.

Why do you have to be conspicuous at the door? Isn't this slapping the face of the Jiang family.

The decency I earned during the day is gone now.

At this time, what Jiang Sanchang thought was that it doesn't matter what happened.

You have to say something good, first invite people into the room to talk, this is too ugly, what can't be discussed properly?

Unexpectedly, a child's terrified cry, calling grandma and mother vigorously, made him lose his temper.

Originally, I wanted to be more cautious, be more polite, and let the neighbors in front of me get out of the way.

As a result, the square inch was chaotic, and it turned into an anxious red-faced grabbing people and squeezing them in.

When he finally squeezed in to take a look, he immediately became angry.

Because as expected, one of the three young men blocking the door of his house was holding on to the back of his struggling grandson's neck and would not let go.

The leader next to him raised his eyebrows to scare him.

"It's useless to call grandma or mother, or your family has to hand over your father, or your family will pay you! Don't talk nonsense! Hurry up and choose!"

That's Jiang Sanchang's grandson!
Our tradition originally emphasizes "carrying children but not grandchildren, and caring for children in the next generation".

Just don't mention that his son is an asshole, but his grandson is a good boy with good character and learning.

In particular, the grandson of the Jiang family is still a good young man who likes feeding utensils, the only hope of the Jiang family.

Then Lao Jiang is still not in a hurry?
He clenched his fists, stared, and roared like a lion.

"Let go! What are you holding on to our child? Tell me what's going on! I'm the grandpa!"

This sound worked, not to mention that the child's bewildered grandma and mother suddenly had a backbone.

The child saw Jiang Sanchang as if he had seen a savior, and cried that these people were going to kidnap him.

The young man who was holding the child laughed instead, "Kidnapping? We didn't kidnap you. It was you two who wanted to run away, so we caught you. No, your father ran away, so we caught you. But we also I didn’t beat you, so why don’t you bring you home? Now that your family and neighbors are here, let’s discuss it in front of everyone.”

Jiang Sanchang ignored him, his eyes were red.

"You let the child go first and then talk about other things. You just have a thousand reasons, 1 reasons. You can't treat our children like this!"

As soon as this was said, the kind-hearted neighbors also helped.

"Yeah, all of you boys and girls have found someone's door, why are you still holding on to his child's neck? Can't he run away? Why don't you just talk about it if you have something to say."

"That's right, the sun is shining, even if you want to be reasonable, it's not like this. Look at how scared you are to other people's children."

"Hey, hey, I said, let go quickly. If you want to say that you are bullying the small with the big. It's just such a child, whose body has not yet grown up. Can you stand it?"

Seeing that it was about to arouse public anger, the three boys also felt that it was not a problem.

After looking at each other, the leader gave a wink, and the one holding the child finally let go.

Immediately the child jumped into his mother's arms.

Jiang Sanchang's wife felt distressed when he saw that the back of the child's neck was bruised.

At that time, I cried out, "Oh, how cruel are you, look at the neck that was choked for our child, it's all purple."

Those three young men, who were the leader, were afraid that the public opinion would completely turn against the Jiang family, so they hurriedly defended themselves.

"Hey, don't protect the calf in your family. Do you know what the father and son did? Steal!"

The last word was so good that the neighbors were so shocked that no one spoke.

Because what I hate the most these days is the thief, and if they are found on the street, they should be beaten to death under the anger of the crowd.

This is the general consensus.

The child's grandmother and mother immediately felt guilty.

But Jiang Sanchang didn't believe that his grandson would do such a thing.Just ask what's going on.

The leader said that he lived in a simple building not far from here.

I don't have any hobbies at ordinary times, except for drinking and playing cards, I like to raise pigeons, and I am a fan of pigeons.

But recently I found out that I have lost pigeons all the time, and I have lost several pigeons back and forth.

At first he thought it was his bad luck, the pigeons that were released met the pigeons of someone nearby.

His own pigeons were coerced by other people's pigeon flocks and sold away.

But the day before yesterday, he suddenly found that even his prized pigeon was lost.

This made him feel that something was wrong, so he quickly recruited friends to help him watch at the nearby morning market and bird market.

Sure enough, today someone found Jiang Sanchang's son and grandson in the market with a birdcage on a bicycle, selling the lost award-winning pigeon.

When the owner got the letter, he took someone to stop it quickly. It was stolen and caught.

It's a pity that he was so angry that he was a little reckless, and cursed in advance when arresting people.

Jiang Sanchang's son, Jiang Guoqiang, was extremely vigilant. He pushed the birdcage to the back seat of the car, pushed the bicycle and beckoned his son to run away.

As a result, this guy pedaled and ran away by himself, but Jiang Sanchang's grandson was too honest to react. He missed a step and was grabbed by the wrist.

This is how it came out today.

Nothing else, they came to the door with their children, just to claim compensation.

Either the Jiang family hastened to collect 500 yuan to compensate the pigeons he lost.

Either hand them over and send them to the police station.

Well, 500 yuan!
When the neighbors of Jiang's family heard this number for the last time, there was a commotion immediately.

They are all old neighbors who know everything, and everyone knows what this money means to the Jiang family.

Most of the wealth accumulated by the old couple of the Jiang family was posted on Jiang Guoqiang's marriage in the early years.

Later, I had a grandson and subsidized the grandson.

Now that Jiang Sanchang has retired, how could he make it together?
Some people think it's the lion who opened his mouth, these guys are sincerely blackmailing people!

Some people said that the prized pigeons are so expensive, they must be raising famous breeds!
Some people lamented for the Jiang family, saying that Jiang Guoqiang was really swaying his ears, and the prodigal ancestor was too capable of causing disasters for the family.

The Jiang family is probably going through a difficult time.

As for the owner of the pigeon, after saying this, he first looked at the people around him with complacency, and seemed to be quite unreasonable.

Then he looked directly at the Jiang family with pride.

That means I already know that your family can't afford that much money, so let's see what you do.

He thought that the Jiang family must have nowhere to go, so he had to speak soft words and beg for mercy.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Sanchang asked his grandson what happened again, and he was even worse than them.

"Report the crime. Let the police station arrest him."

What Jiang Sanchang said was so hard that they could break their big teeth.

Well, it’s true that you have a mace and I have a sky cap.

"What? Old man? I heard that right!" The owner of the lost pigeon couldn't believe it.

"You heard me right! I don't want this son! Didn't you hear that just now? He lied to my grandson. Leng told the child to buy him a mechanical pencil, and tricked the child to go to the pigeon market. When something happened, he ran away Now, he deserves to be a father. Even if you don’t report the crime, I will send him to the police when I see him. Or, I’ll go and invite the security director for you?”

Looking at Jiang Sanchang really doesn't look like a joke.

Well, the three boys were all dumbfounded, even the neighbors were dumbfounded, no one expected Jiang Sanchang to have such an attitude.

But the son is the flesh that fell from the mother after all, Jiang Sanchang doesn't want a son, his wife can't do it, and his daughter-in-law doesn't agree.

The two women in the family started crying, begging Jiang Sanchang not to do this.

The neighbors followed suit, and even Jiang Sanchang's grandson begged his grandpa to show respect and not hand him over to the police station.

Now, the three young men regained their self-confidence, and spoke cheap words one by one.

"Old man, you are really successful, righteousness kills relatives! But your family members are not as enlightened as you! I advise you to stop being stubborn, and don't make your family members blame you. Besides, you are probably just such a son , I have to think about myself when I get old..."

"Looking at your family's situation, it's true that you're not very rich, and you probably won't be able to spend 500 yuan for a while. Otherwise, you can scrape together as much as you can. Two or three hundred yuan is fine, and the rest of the money is fine. , we can give it slowly, who will make our buddies soft-hearted, we are not Huang Shiren..."

"That's right, what is money? Isn't money a bastard? It's still valuable. Don't take money too seriously. As the saying goes, if you don't teach your father's faults, who will you take care of? Tiger poison , still not eating..."

However, the last sentence angered Jiang Sanchang again.

"Shut up all of you! What good things are you guys? It's just a few bastards here. I have seen a lot of masters like you in Tianqiaoer in the past. You think I can't see that you are What has changed? Don’t you just want money? It’s not enough to take advantage of it, you have to be cheap, that’s what you are like. Decades have passed, everything has changed, why have you not changed? Not to mention you Have you really lost so many pigeons? Even if you lost them, there is no evidence, and you are all on our house? In order to blackmail, you held our children's necks and yelled so many people into our house It's fun to bully honest people..."

Cursing in his mouth, Jiang Sanchang crossed his hips and walked towards the three boys with eyes on his eyes.

The three young men retreated step by step.

Jiang Sanchang stared at the leader, didn't move, just stared at him.

The kid felt his scalp go numb and said, "Master, don't... just count me as afraid of you!"

Jiang Sanchang smiled coldly, and asked the boy how many pigeons he had lost and how much he should pay them.

The kid said he lost two of them, but they were both famous species, at least 100 yuan apiece.

Moreover, the pigeon that won the prize was also injured, and the loss was immeasurable.

Jiang Sanchang said that it would be okay to give you 300 yuan.

The three boys were a bit confused, and no one could figure out Jiang Sanchang's details at this time.

I didn't understand what he really meant, so I didn't dare to agree easily.

As a result, Jiang Sanchang simply pulled out a thick stack of Great Unity from his pocket, and dangled it in front of his eyes.

"It's not impossible to pay you money, but there is one thing, you have to apologize to our children."

"What?" The master who threw the pigeon wiped the sweat from his face and said, "Master, are you being unreasonable this time? You want me to apologize for your son trapping my pigeon? There is this Does it make sense?"

Jiang Sanchang said categorically, "Everyone heard it just now, it was my son, not my grandson, who got your pigeons. You can ask whoever is wrong, and you can't vent your anger on the child. I will pay you, and you can also call the police. The police station arrests people. It’s up to you. But my grandson is a good boy, and I can’t let you be thieves indiscriminately and make your neck like this!”

As a result, the neighbors also shouted enthusiastically.

"It's easy for you to apologize. Look at what you have done to other people's children? Can you afford to pay for something good or bad?"

"That's right, people are golden and birds are precious? You're still hypocritical here!"

"Apologize! Apology!"

Now the pigeon-throwing was overwhelmed, and the two assistants beside him didn't dare to say anything.

The master who threw the pigeon hurriedly bowed, "I'm sorry, sir, I misunderstood! If this kid hadn't followed suit, I wouldn't have... In short, my hands are heavy."

The child's own mother finally had a reason to pour out. "Don't talk nonsense, anyway, you hurt our child..."

The one who lost the pigeon hurriedly said, "Yes, I was wrong, I was wrong. Otherwise, we would not have reported the crime. As the old saying goes, this pigeon is a gnat, let's just be so selfish, and peace is the most important..."

This remark made the child's own mother cast a venomous weapon, and did not dare to say harsh words anymore.

In short, if we want to talk about this matter, the Jiang family is really wrong first.

Even the grievances against the grandson of the Jiang family have exaggerated ethics, with elements of protecting the calf.

But it was precisely because of Jiang Sanchang's "Twelve Flower Gods" that he had a bonus of 200 yuan from Ning Weimin in his pocket, so he became tough today.

In the end, he actually settled the matter with a condescending and arrogant attitude.

It is miraculous to make the originally embarrassing thing look a little more decent.

This is really rare in small households.

And Jiang Sanchang's grandson, from then on, regarded his grandfather as an omnipotent hero, and admired him so much.
