Chapter 824
Over the weekend, Lin Weimin took his wife and daughter to Yanjing Hospital to visit Mr. Wan.

Mr. Wan has been in good spirits these days. He even took the time to accept an exclusive interview with Guangming Daily, which was published in the newspaper on July 7.

Living in the hospital all year round, Mr. Wan's life and work were extremely boring. When he saw the eccentric little bean buns carved in pink and jade, he doted on them.

But he was not in good health now. Xiaodou Bao was swaying from side to side in his arms, which was very tiring. After a while, Mr. Wan began to breathe.

He put down the bean bag, drank a cup of tea, and moistened his throat, "I'm too old to even hold a child."

Lin Weimin was peeling an apple in his hand, "You are already 86 years old. In ancient times, you could use a stick to enter and exit the court. You can't be too nimble, otherwise people will not respect you enough."

"You bastard!" Mr. Wan cursed with a smile.

"How does it feel to become the president?" Mr. Wan asked.

"It's much easier than before. It's really comfortable to be the leader." Lin Weimin joked.

It was under Mr. Wan's gaze that Lin Weimin became serious.

"The work in the company is just like that. Lao Cheng and I have worked together for so many years and we are used to it. I plan to reform it next year."

"Reform? Other units only reform when they can no longer survive. Your Chinese Literature Society is living so well, why should you change it?"

"Be prepared for a rainy day and be prepared for danger in times of peace!"

"What kind of reform?"

"Bigger and stronger, create greater glories!"

Lin Weimin couldn't help but hesitate a moment, and then said: "I want to try to change the enterprise and reform the system."

"Is your public institution going to be transformed into an enterprise? Do you want to be restructured?" Mr. Wan frowned and his face became serious, "You are too courageous!"

"How can we know if it will work if we don't try it? Regarding reform, our Chinese Literature Society is willing to be the pioneer of this reform. It depends on whether the higher authorities are willing to give us a chance to try."

Mr. Wan asked: "There are always benefits to converting enterprises and restructuring, right?"

"After the transfer, the control will still be firmly in the hands of the state, but our Chinese Literature Society will be more flexible. With the current size of the Chinese Literature Society, it will be a matter of time sooner or later to adopt the principle of group development. If we don't change the company, We were never flexible enough.”

Mr. Wan pondered for a long time and shook his head, "It's difficult!"

"Try it. It's much easier to change lanes when your legs and feet are good than to change lanes when you're faltering."

While the two were talking, Mr. Wan noticed that Xiaodou Bao was standing there staring at the apple in Lin Weimin's hand.

When Lin Weimin peeled the apple and handed it to Mr. Wan, he handed the apple to Xiaodou Bao.

"Bean Bao, eat an apple."

I didn’t want the little bean buns but didn’t pick up the apple, “Grandpa, just eat it.”

Mr. Wan thought that the child understood the reason why Kong Rong gave up the pear, and he laughed with great relief.

But at this time, Lin Weimin put away the fruit knife in his hand and warned Xiaodou Bao: "Don't think blindly. Can you play with the fruit knife?"

Only then did Mr. Wan realize that what the little girl was staring at was not the apple, but the apple knife in Lin Weimin's hand.

Seeing that her little thoughts were exposed by her father, Xiaodou Bao hugged her father's thigh and cried out sweetly: "Dad~"

"It's useless to call me dad, and it's useless to call me mom. Are you allowed to play with the knife?" Lin Weimin scolded him with a straight face.

Seeing that coquettishness didn't work, Xiaodoubao's little mouth shrank, and his big eyes flashed, filled with tears.

This little girl is very skillful in using the routines in the current movie. If she can't act coquettishly, she just pretends to cry.

Normally, Lin Weimin would have been soft-hearted and given the thing to her, but a fruit knife wouldn't work, it was too dangerous.

Before Xiaodoubao's tears could stop, Mr. Wan couldn't bear it anymore and gently hugged Xiaodoubao, "We don't want the fruit knife anymore, can you give me a good thing, grandpa?"

Xiaodoubao has now developed a magical skill. When you look at her eyes full of tears, you almost can’t hold them back. But she can frame them, and not only can they frame them, if you can coax her, , maybe we can go back in time.

After hearing Mr. Wan's words, Xiaodou Bao looked at him and asked, "Grandpa, what do you want to give me?"

Mr. Wan walked to the desk with a smile, which is where he usually works and writes. On the desk were placed the Four Treasures of the Study and some documents and manuscripts.

Mr. Wan picked up a seal from the desk, turned around and said to Xiaodou Bao: "Take a look, do you like this?"

The seal in his hand is made of Qingtian stone. The stone is produced in Qingtian County, Zhijiang Prefecture, so it is named Qingtian stone. Together with Balin stone, Shoushan stone and Changhua stone, it is known as the four famous stones. It has been favored by literati in the past dynasties and used for seal cutting. The printing material for the seal.

Qingtian stone is formed by sandwiching stubborn stones. It is rare to have large pieces. The stone texture is fine, warm and easy to carve. It has yellow, white, green and other colors. It is expensive to be frozen. The so-called frozen stone means that the stone is delicate and transparent.

The seal in Mr. Wan's hand is yellowish in color, transparent in texture, firm and delicate.

Lin Weimin has been collecting antiques over the years, and he also knows more or less about jade. This is called light jade, which is the highest quality among Qingtian stones and is worth as much as gold.

He quickly stopped Mr. Wan and said, "Stop spoiling her. She doesn't even know the words for such an expensive thing. What is she doing here? She's going to break it again."

"It's just a seal, and there are several more at home. She doesn't know the words, but she knows me."

Regardless of Lin Weimin's obstruction, Mr. Wan handed the seal to Xiaodoubao's fleshy little hand, "See if you like it?"

As early as when Mr. Wan picked up the seal, Xiaodou Bao's eyes were attracted by this small seal.

The whole seal is a transparent and pure yellow, which immediately reminds Xiaodoubao of pea yellow, and it also looks like a three-part stick.

She couldn't help but swallow, this thing was so beautiful.

When she got the seal, she was overjoyed. She turned it over in her hand and narrowed her big round eyes into a thin line.

When she turned to the printed page, she looked at it for a long time and didn't recognize the words on it.

The seal surface is more than half an inch square, with four official Chinese characters grouped together.

Just now, Lin Weimin said that Xiaodou Bao was illiterate, but he was looking down on her. She will be four and a half years old soon, and has been in kindergarten for almost a year and a half.

Today's adzuki bean buns are no longer the adzuki bean buns of two years ago.

Mathematics: 99 multiplication table, addition and subtraction within 100;
Chinese: 200 new words, 18 semi-Tang poems;

English: 125 words, simple conversation;
Sports: Beihai Kindergarten is invincible.

It is not an exaggeration to say that moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and labor development will be comprehensive.

However, for Xiaodou Bao, the official script on the printed page was indeed a bit difficult for her.

She looked at it for a long time, her head filled with questions, her brows furrowed, and finally she turned her gaze on Wan Jiabao helplessly.

"Grandpa, grandpa, what words are engraved on this?" Mr. Wan was waiting for her words, "Grandpa will teach you."

He carried the bean bag onto the chair, spread a piece of rice paper on the desk, and opened the ink pad.

"Bean bun, dip this noodle in it."

Xiaodoubao stood in Mr. Wan's arms, holding the seal and dipping it in the ink mud.

Mr. Wan said again: "Come on, click on this paper."

Xiaodou Bao had a serious face, holding the seal in both hands, and pressed it firmly on the rice paper.

Raising his hand, four clear Chinese characters fell on the rice paper.

Such a magical scene made Xiaodou Bao jump for joy and couldn't help but clap her hands.

As soon as she clapped her hands, the seal in her hand slipped smoothly, and Lin Weimin, who was watching from the side, felt his heart tighten.

Fortunately, the seal fell on Mr. Wan's trouser leg. He didn't care. He picked up the seal and said to the happy little bean bag: "Can grandpa teach you these words?"

"Okay!" Xiaodou Bao responded obediently.

"We are Chinese, what we speak is called Chinese, and what we write is called Chinese characters. It is one of the oldest characters in the world. It originated from hieroglyphs. It not only has the image beauty of painting, but also the beauty of artistic conception. It is both practical and useful. People appreciate it.

We call the method of writing calligraphy, and calligraphy has many styles and changes. But in terms of calligraphy style, it can be roughly divided into five types: seal script, official script, regular script, running script and cursive script.

There are four characters on this seal, written in official script. Look at the first two characters..."

Mr. Wan pointed to the words on the rice paper for Xiaodoubao, "These two characters are called Jiabao, which is grandpa's name."

"I know, I know, grandpa's name is Wan Jiabao!" Xiao Doubao said eagerly.

"Good grandson!"

Mr. Wan smiled kindly, touched her head, and continued: "Look at the last two words. The one above is called 'zhi', which means '的'."

Xiaodoubao nodded seriously again, she also understood the meaning of "of".

Pulling his hair, he showed off to Wan Jiabao: "Grandpa, Wardfa."

"Yes, this is your hair. And this last word..."

The grandfather and grandson were both serious about teaching and the other was serious about learning. The scene was warm and joyful. Lin Weimin couldn't help but smile a little as he looked at them.

Tao Huimin had been chatting with Li Yuru. Seeing that her daughter was rarely so well-behaved, sitting in Mr. Wan's arms and learning Chinese characters, she became more determined to let her take the path of liberal arts in the future.

Even Li Yuru was very happy when she saw such a scene, and said to Tao Huimin: "This little girl of yours is really annoying."

Tao Huimin said with a smile: "You didn't see how naughty and mischievous she was, she could make people mad to death."

"I didn't see it."

Having never seen the appearance of the little bean bag devil, Li Yuru would not believe anything he said. It is estimated that even if he saw it, in the eyes of old people like them, a filter would automatically be generated and they would attribute it to being lively and active.

Family happiness is always short-lived. After staying in the hospital for more than two hours, Lin Weimin made preparations to leave before dinner.

Xiaodoubao and Mr. Wan were having fun, but became unhappy when they said they wanted to leave.

Lin Weimin also wanted to take off the Qingtian stone seal from her hand, but she simply started crying. This girl's skills were so perfect now that she would cry whenever she wanted. The tears were pouring down and she couldn't even coax her.

Mr. Wan was very distressed and anxiously coaxed Xiaodou Bao. Seeing that she was not getting better, he anxiously hit Lin Weimin twice with his crutch.

When Xiao Doubao saw this, she immediately stopped crying and started giggling. Her gloating energy was very much like her old father's.

Lin Weimin said aggrievedly: "Why did you hit me?"

Mr. Wan snorted, "What are you robbing children of? Take them and put them in your museum?"

"She broke such a precious thing again."

"If it's broken, it's broken. I gave it to her. It's hers!"

Lin Weimin couldn't help but muttered: "Get used to it, just get used to it."

He dared to be angry but dare not say anything. The more he said this, the happier Xiaodoubao became. He put his arms around Mr. Wan's neck and made him smile, and kept calling him "good grandson".

The grandfather and grandson stayed together for a while, and then Xiaodoubao reluctantly let go of Mr. Wan.

"Grandpa, I'll come see you in two days." Xiaodoubao said to Mr. Wan like an adult.

"Okay, okay." Mr. Wan responded with a smile.

When the family left the hospital building, Lin Weimin winked at Tao Huimin, and Tao Huimin said: "Beanbao, bring me the things!"

Xiaodoubao stared at his big cute eyes and pretended to be stupid: "Mom, what are you talking about?"

Tao Huimin snorted, Xiaodoubao didn't dare to pretend to be stupid anymore, and took out the seal from her pocket. She reluctantly watched Tao Huimin take back the seal, and did not forget to emphasize: "This is what grandpa gave me."

"I didn't say it wasn't yours. But just because it was given to you by grandpa, mom wants to keep it for you. It's a commemorative thing. If you let yourself play with it, it might break at some point. , you will regret it when you grow up, and you will be ashamed of your grandpa’s love for you.

When you want to play, just tell your mother and I will give it to you to play with, okay? "

Tao Huimin's words were both soft and hard. Xiaodou Bao nodded helplessly, "Okay, Mom, you have to count."

After unloading the things in the girl's hands, the family got in the car and went home.

After returning home, Tao Huimin put the seal in Lin Weimin's study.

A seal is nothing to Mr. Wan, and it is nothing to Lin Weimin, but it is Mr. Wan's intention and must be preserved.

And not only must it be preserved, Lin Weimin must also find a way to return a gift.

Mr. Wan treats Xiaodoubao like his own granddaughter, but after all, he has several daughters, and even more grandchildren. If he knew that he gave Xiaodoubao such a valuable thing, he would definitely have some complaints behind his back.

Of course, this is Lin Weimin's villainy, but it is better to be cautious. He does not want Mr. Wan to remain at home at this old age.

Otherwise, why did the ancients say that courtesy should reciprocate?

Xiaodoubao received one gift, and as a father, he had to return several gifts.

I have to be tougher with the old man from now on, and I can’t give this girl anything anymore.

He is distressed!
