Chapter 28 Second Uncle's Gift

Tong Xiaojing closed the door of the workshop with her second uncle, and went to the workshop in the backyard together.

During the conversation with the second uncle, Tong Xiaojing learned the reason why the two young men left angrily just now.

As one of the four famous pottery in China, purple pottery is getting more and more attention now, and many self-media will also hype the gimmick of purple pottery craftsmanship to improve the works.

If you want to say where the purple pottery is the best, it is natural to count their Wanyao Village.

Those two young people came under this banner, and wanted to pay some money for the second uncle to instruct the craft, record some professional knowledge points and use them for publicity, so as to sell their own things.

Those wholesale products produced by machines are not worthy of being called purple pottery in the eyes of the second uncle. Facing the young man's suggestion, he bluntly refused. Can't teach either.

If he really wants to learn pottery and is willing to learn this craft, even if he doesn't charge a penny, he is willing to teach it all.

"Now the reputation of purple pottery is getting louder and louder. There is never a shortage of people who make pottery, and there will be more people in the future, but what is lacking is people who can keep this inheritance." Tong Tianming sighed and tapped it lightly with a small wooden hammer. Hit the original soil and check the impurities mixed in the soil.

"Second uncle!"

Tong Xiaojing stepped forward, also squatted down, grabbed a small wooden hammer, and followed her second uncle to tap the specially found soil.

Tong Xiaojing understands that some cultures cannot be expressed through words, but need to be produced bit by bit by hand. The second uncle has always insisted that as long as he lives a day, he will do it for a day. Perhaps it is this persistence that has supported him. The love for purple pottery over the years.

Tong Xiaojing watched the action of the second uncle knocking the stone, the sweat dripped on the soil, and the soil was wet, the small wooden hammer fell, the soil was crushed, and the sweat-stained soil had been mixed into it before looking for it again. Not anymore, but it did exist, and this may be enough for the second uncle.

Whether it is a businessman or a craftsman, everyone is alive, and they live in different ways.

Looking at the second uncle, Tong Xiaojing smiled. Some people live small lives but do great things all the time.

……

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Tong Xiaojing packed her bags and embarked on a trip to Shanghai.

Tong Tianhai was a little bit reluctant, and drove Tong Xiaojing to the train station by himself. Li Yuan didn't go to the flower shop, and wanted to take her to the train station together. The whole family got together. What Tong Xiaojing didn't expect was that even Jiang Fatty is here.

"Xiao Jing, remember your brother Xing's phone number. If you are away from home, you must take good care of yourself. If you can find a job, look for it. If you can't find it, come back and work with brother." Undertake the project with me, brother guarantees that you will not starve to death."

"Go, go, go, our Xiaojing is going to work in a big company, what are you making a fuss about, Xiaopang, are you going to move bricks on the construction site with you?" Li Yuan leaned forward, muttering dissatisfiedly.

"Auntie, I'm just joking with Xiaojing. Besides, I'm not a brick mover, I'm a temporary contractor. As long as I can make money, I can do anything. Later, you will also contract your flower shopping guide to Me, I'll go to the Kunming Flower Market to get you the goods myself."

Li Yuan glared at him: "I am willing, you can ask your uncle if he agrees."

"Ask me what?"

Tong Tianhai heard the voice and walked in.

Jiang Xiaopang let out a smirk, and immediately turned around and slipped aside to help.

Tong Xiaojing packed up her documents, mobile phone chargers and other items. Looking at everything at home, she felt inexplicably reluctant. The last time she left, she was in college for four years. When she left this time, when will she come back next time.

The original white walls have turned yellow with the ravages of time over the years. Time has recorded everything, but she lacks a lot of memories of this home.

"Girl."

Hearing the sound, Tong Xiaojing turned her head and saw her second uncle walking in with a small cloth bag in her hand.

"Second uncle."

Tong Tianming stepped forward and stuffed the small cloth bag directly into Tong Xiaojing's hand: "I prepared this for you, you can use it when you go to Shanghai."

"What is it?" Tong Xiaojing said, wanting to open the small cloth bag to see what's inside.

"Keep it well, and don't let your father see it, or he will ink it with me again." Tong Tianming suppressed Tong Xiaojing's movements and prevented her from opening it: "I will open it when I arrive in Shanghai."

"Second uncle..."

"Girl, you have to take good care of yourself when you're out alone. If you have nothing to do, you can call uncle. I'm free anyway." Tong Tianming smiled, and patted Tong Xiaojing's hand holding the cloth bag heavily.

"Ah."

When the second uncle was free, these words were obviously meant to comfort her.

From childhood to adulthood, the second uncle was always the best to her. When her parents were strict, the second uncle always helped her behind his back.

"Xiaojing, the car is here, let's go!" Li Yuan's voice came from outside the house, Tong Xiaojing responded, and quickly picked up her things and went out.

"Don't tell your parents about the things I gave you."

Before leaving, the second uncle murmured in her ear and left. He still has to go to the workshop to do follow-up work, so he will not be sent off. He just told him to send him home when he meets his classmates and arrives in Shanghai smoothly. Say hello.

Tong Xiaojing sat in the car, and Tong Tianhai in the driver's seat kept telling her to go out to work alone, pay attention to this, pay attention to that, don't be afraid if you encounter any difficulties, tell your family that there is nothing you can't get through The hurdles, after all, just started working, the first step in life, always have to go through.

"Speak less, our girl has never let us worry about it." Li Yuan stepped forward and told Tong Tianhai a few words, briefly talking about the possible life in the future.

For example, if Tong Xiaojing finds a good job, and that boy in Shanghai, if they treat their daughter well, they will go to Shanghai to see the child in person. They have lived to this age and have never been to Shanghai, just I have seen the spectacular scene on TV, and I will go to the scene to see if it is the same.

Tong Xiaojing listened to her mother's words, and her mother leaned forward and seriously talked to her father about what she wanted. The expression of longing and reluctance was clearly imprinted in her mind.

As a parent, who is willing to let their children suffer hardships, and there is still such a long distance.

When they arrived at the station, Tong Tianhai personally helped Tong Xiaojing carry the suitcase and sent it all the way to the station. If it wasn't for being unable to make it onto the train, Tong Tianhai would not be willing to stop.

"Xiaojing, remember to call home when you arrive." Tong Tianhai handed the things to Tong Xiaojing.

"Girl, there are cakes and food I made for you in the bag. Eat it when you are hungry on the road. Say hello to Mengmeng for us." After Li Yuan finished speaking, she took the 2000 yuan she had prepared from the bag It was stuffed into Tong Xiaojing's hands.

"Mom, I have the money, no need..." She was about to refuse, but her mother sternly reprimanded her: "Take it, don't blot the ink."
