Jiang Fan felt that it was okay for him to stay here, and it would be okay not to stay here.

But when the old couple quarreled, there was no reason for me not to break up the quarrel. .

He hurriedly stopped: "Mom and Dad, you are both right. My dad has the traditional view of not wasting anything. He will adapt to this kind of life."

"Mom, you are now fashionable and your ideas have kept pace with the times. There is no need to forcefully change my dad's mind, right?"

Jiang's mother watched Jiang Fan explain. He then relaxed a little and said, "Old Jiang, Xiaofan said this today. For the sake of the child, I won't quarrel with you."

Father Jiang was so angry that he walked out the door with his cigarette and shoes on.

As he walked, he left a message: "Do you really think I want to talk to you?"

Jiang's mother pointed at Father Jiang's back and said angrily: "Look, your father is like this. He can't say a few words together and leaves immediately. How can I tell him?"

Jiang Fan hurriedly supported Jiang's mother and said, "Mom, your health is the most important thing. Don't be angry first. Don't be angry. If your body gets angry, the jade I bought for you won't be beautiful when you wear it."

After coaxing Jiang's mother, Jiang Fan went to the small courtyard to see Jiang's father without stopping.

Father Jiang was sitting at the back of the house. Jiang Fan asked, "Why did you come here? I looked around for you."

Dad Jiang said: "The front is occupied by those cars, and I don't look good there. People think I'm a beggar."

Jiang Fan felt a little sad when he heard this.

It's obviously their own home, but why are they restricted everywhere now?

Jiang Fan said: "Dad, do you think this is right?"

Dad Jiang took a puff of cigarette and said, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Fan looked at the small courtyard with a confused look in his eyes: "Isn't this our home? Why do you have to look at other people's faces in everything you do now? If they don't let you go through the front door, you can't leave, and you won't be allowed to smoke in the front yard. You can’t smoke, why?”

Father Jiang gave a bitter smile and said, "What's the reason? We are old and can't keep up with the thinking of young people. They must have done it because they thought it was better. I don't know how to speak. Just don't cause trouble to others. ”

At this moment, Jiang Fan felt distressed in his heart.

The old man in front of him who was over fifty years old didn't know why the world had changed so much. He had lived in this world since he was a child, and everything he had seen made this land seem to be engraved in his DNA.

He desperately wanted to keep up with the changes of the times, but he was still trapped by his past self. His thinking could not keep up with the leaping society, but he tried hard to be a person who would not cause trouble to others.

Maybe Father Jiang also feels that he is contradictory, but this is the only thing he can do.

Jiang Fan sat next to Father Jiang and followed him to watch him bearish.

When they were young, when there were no other toys or electronic products, they would sit on the campus at night and watch the stars.

At that time, the sky was full of stars. Dad Jiang told them which Big Dipper stars were and told the story of Altair and Vega.

But now, even if Father Jiang wants to nag, no one wants to listen.

He didn't understand what had changed, but he seemed to still be living in his past.

When I’m tired from working every day, I listen to Peking Opera.

If you have troubles, just look at the stars, smoke two cigarettes, and live as usual tomorrow.

Jiang Fan asked in a low voice: "Dad, if my brother is not a rich man and we are still ordinary people, what kind of life do you want to live?"

Dad Jiang thought about this problem very seriously, and finally said: "Plant a small yard, do some farm work every day, occasionally do some carpentry, watch the villagers play chess and cards in your free time, and talk to your mother at night about when you were young, or who What happened again at home?" It can be seen that Jiang's father and Jiang's mother are indeed moving on two different tracks.

Father Jiang is still stuck in the past, but Mother Jiang wants to take the last car left for the elderly in this era.

Jiang Fan said: "I'm not sure if it can be realized, but I will try my best to help you realize it."

After Jiang Fan persuaded Father Jiang to go back, he fell asleep early.

Before falling asleep, I sent a message to my elder brother to tell him that I was back.

The eldest brother still didn't reply.

The next morning, Jiang Fan went to the city first and contacted a friend he had met before. He asked someone to find Jiang Fan an individual seller who sold top-quality jadeite.

Jiang Fan took a taxi there. The other party's shop was quite elegant and was located in a villa in the suburbs.

When the driver arrived near here, he repeatedly checked: "Is this here? I didn't see the sign at all."

Jiang Fan found the house number based on the address and knocked on the door. He saw a beauty wearing a cheongsam, holding her hair up with a hairpin, and showing the gentleness of a Jiangnan beauty in her movements.

Jiang Fan was wearing cheap sportswear, and even the torn cuffs had not been mended yet.

As a result, the other party did not show any slight towards Jiang Fan at all because of Jiang Fan's clothes.

The other party's voice was soft: "Hello, sir, have you made an appointment before?"

Jiang Fan nodded and took out the message on his phone to show it to the woman opposite. The woman smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you in. My name is Wan Zhao. If you need anything, just tell me."

Wanzhao is such a nice name.

They are completely different from Xuanxuan at the front desk. They both have beautiful faces, but one looks like a poor man suddenly getting rich, and his words are full of pretentiousness and power.

The evening photo looks gentle and majestic, like a beautiful woman with poetry and calligraphy in her belly.

Wan Zhao took Jiang Fan and sat in the hall. After making Jiang Fan a cup of tea, he walked behind the screen as if to call someone over.

After a while, a woman who looked less than fifty years old came out, wearing a fine silk custom-made cheongsam, walking slowly and leisurely, with two pear dimples on her face.

The other party is Mrs. Xu.

A famous jade collector.

Jiang Fan investigated her and found that she had some luck. In the early years, she made a lot of money betting on stones on the border between the two countries.

After gaining some foundation, I started doing jade business.

He gradually became an expert. The reason why he moved to the small town where Jiang Fan and the others were was because he felt that he had reached retirement age and no longer wanted to travel around.

She is now in a state of retirement. If someone wants to buy it, they can come and have a look. As for whether she can sell it, it completely depends on Mrs. Xu's mood.

When Mrs. Xu looked at Jiang Fan for the first time, she looked him up and down and then blurted out: "Young man has a good temperament, is he a soldier?"

Jiang Fan nodded: "Yes, I have been in the army, and I just happened to go home to visit relatives."

Mrs. Xu smiled slightly and said: "The conditions in the army are so good now? Why do you all come to my place to look at rocks?"

Jiang Fan said: "I have done business before and have some foundation. I also want to choose something ordinary to give to my elders. It is too expensive and I can't afford it."
