Chapter 54 Second uncle wants to give up the craft of purple pottery

"Second uncle..."

"I'm getting old after all!" Tong Tianming responded softly, "I can't even admit defeat!"

Tong Xiaojing looked at the lost look of the second uncle, and she said softly: "Second uncle, actually...Xu Mingyu and I have already broken up."

When Tong Tianming heard this, he looked at him in surprise, and did not move for a long time. The surprise brought by this sudden word was obviously great.

"Sorry, I don't have the courage to tell you. I made this decision when I was in Shanghai." Tong Xiaojing lowered her head and told her second uncle everything between herself and Xu Mingyu. Xu Mingyu's kindness to her opened her heart. In the end, I had already made up my mind to have a good result with him, but what happened later happened. Perhaps, they were not in the same way, and this ending between them was actually the best.

"Second Uncle, do you think I'm capricious?"

Tong Tianming shook his head slightly: "This is your decision, why do you say willful! I told you, no matter what you choose, I will support you."

"Thank you, Second Uncle."

"Xiao Jing... Do you still remember when you were eight years old and clamored to eat the steam pot chicken stewed by yourself? Your parents trained you so well in this small yard Those who cried and shouted, after being taught a lesson, still insisted on eating steam pot chicken, and had to cook it by themselves, their stubborn temper was as good as mine."

Tong Xiaojing simply sat down, leaned against the second uncle, and listened to the second uncle's words.

The old and the young sat in the courtyard like this, chatting about the past under the moonlight.

It wasn't until late at night, when Sun Zhe came back from visiting grandma, that Tong Tianming got up and went back to the room with the support of Tong Xiaojing and Sun Zhe.

"Second uncle, go to bed early."

"Ah."

Tong Xiaojing turned to leave, but as soon as she reached the door, the second uncle stopped her.

"Tomorrow I decided to call Mr. Dong Shusheng personally. I couldn't finish the work on time. I will pay him the liquidated damages in the signed contract."

Tong Xiaojing stood there, listening to the second uncle's words, feeling a little bitter in her heart, but because of the second uncle's injury, Dong Shusheng couldn't make what Dong Shusheng ordered, and Qian Wenhai was already communicating with Dong Shusheng, presumably what Dong Shusheng needed, Qian Wenhai Nature will find a way to provide it.

That's great, at least Mr. Dong Shusheng's matter will not be affected and delayed.

"Okay, I'll help you." Tong Xiaojing smiled, turned and left.

That night, Tong Xiaojing lay in bed tossing and turning, thinking about how to explain this incident to Dong Shusheng, and how Dong Shusheng communicated with Qian Wenhai. Since Qian Wenhai communicated with Dong Shusheng, Dong Shusheng must Knowing about the second uncle's injury, he never called to accuse the second uncle of not being able to finish.

The second uncle can't be Tao because of his injury, so will Dong Shusheng sue the second uncle?
She warned herself in her heart that no matter what the result was, she would support the second uncle, and try her best to prevent bad conflicts between the second uncle and Dong Shusheng because of this incident.

Early the next morning.

Tong Tianhai and Li Yuan were a little surprised when they learned that Tong Tianming was going to call Dong Shusheng himself to return the scheduled funds and compensation.

"Can't you think of a way again?" Tong Tianhai hesitated and said.

"Her uncle, there are still two months to go, why don't you wait, maybe after another ten days and a half months, your injury will almost heal, and you can start making purple pottery again?" Li Yuan Still trying to find a reason for Tong Tianming to slow down.

"I have already decided that this is caused by myself. No one should blame anyone. I will bear the consequences alone."

Tong Tianming insisted on making this call, he looked at Tong Xiaojing, and waited for Tong Xiaojing to make the call for him.

Tong Xiaojing used her mobile phone to call Dong Shusheng according to the phone number recorded in the contract. After the call was made, Tong Xiaojing felt nervous inexplicably when she heard the voice on the phone.

Originally, she had made a lot of preparations in her heart, but when the phone was connected and Dong Shusheng's voice came, Tong Xiaojing found that all the preparations she had made were useless, her mind went blank, and she couldn't remember what to say at all.

"Hello, Mr. Dong, I'm Tong Xiaojing..." Tong Xiaojing introduced herself to Dong Shusheng first, and then brought the topic to the main topic: "I'm calling you because... the batch of purple pottery that Second Uncle promised you to make, I'm afraid ..."

Dong Shusheng on the other side of the phone listened carefully to Tong Xiaojing's explanation. Tong Xiaojing explained very clearly that the second uncle's body was severely injured, and he was lucky to save his life. Now due to physical reasons, the fineness of the purple pottery cannot be guaranteed, so I can only regret to say Sorry, of course, the matter is on the side of the second uncle, and they will be responsible for Dong Shusheng's delay. In addition to refunding the previously scheduled funds, the second uncle said that he will give Dong Shusheng a certain amount of compensation.

After Tong Xiaojing finished speaking, she handed the phone to the second uncle. The second uncle stood up, walked to a secluded corner, and exchanged a few words with Dong Shusheng on the phone alone. A few minutes later, the second uncle handed the phone to Tong Xiaojing again.

"Boss Dong said to give you the phone." The second uncle handed the phone back to her.

Tong Xiaojing was a little surprised. She answered the phone and asked, "Mr. Dong?"

There was silence on the phone, and no sound could be heard. Tong Xiaojing was a little puzzled, thinking that the phone had been hung up, she took a look at the phone to make sure it was still on the phone, and asked again on the phone.

"Mr. Dong, do you have anything to tell me?"

"Little girl, the true love between you and your second uncle has moved us. It's really rare to be able to do handicrafts like Mr. Tong." Dong Shusheng sighed: "It's really a shame that your second uncle wants to give up the craft of purple pottery." A big loss."

"I..." Tong Xiaojing didn't expect that the second uncle would give up Zitao's business, did he just talk to Dong Shusheng on the phone?No wonder he deliberately walked away when he spoke just now, so that others could not hear what he said.

"Your second uncle said that he has already made seven or eight clay pots, and these things should be paid to me as compensation. When my shop opens, it can also be used as samples." Dong Shusheng paused suddenly when he said this: "I I'd love to know what you think!"

"Since it was decided by the second uncle, I naturally support it. Those clay pots were made by the second uncle himself. You can put 1 hearts in terms of craftsmanship. It's just a pity that the 38 clay pots you need, the second uncle didn't Help you finish." Tong Xiaojing said this, her voice choked up.

She was feeling sorry for her second uncle, who had been running a business for half her life, stuck to her original aspiration all her life, and gave up as soon as she said she would give up. All of this was too sudden, how could she accept it in a short while.
