Chapter 146, Unexpected New Year Greetings, Mysterious Background
Chapter 146, Unexpected New Year Greetings, Mysterious Background
When I returned to Siheyuan from Xingui Market last night, it was almost three o'clock in the morning.
The harvest was pretty good. Not only did I buy a batch of cost-effective antiques, I also learned the address of the new ghost market.
Although it is further away from his current residence than before, it doesn't matter. Wang Jianjun's goal is to sweep all the ghost markets in Sijiu City when the weather gets warmer, and he will definitely go further by then.
Although he only slept for a few hours last night, Wang Jianjun still got up before dawn the next morning as before.
Since his physical fitness has been fully improved, sleeping in has basically been insulated from him, even on rest days or long holidays.
Today is a day off in the factory. Since I don’t have to go to the factory to work, I have plenty of time to learn other skills.
After breakfast, he drank a cup of tea and rested for a while. Wang Jianjun took out the medical textbook and started reading it. When he was reading with great interest, he suddenly found that the light was blocked by someone.
When I looked up, I realized that Yu Li was here, and she was the only one today.
"Lily, why didn't you call me when you came? How long have you been standing at the door?"
"I've just been here for a while, and I saw that Brother Jun you were reading so seriously, so I didn't want to disturb you.
"Fool, don't do this again. Come in quickly. I will only be happy when you come. There is no need to disturb or disturb you at all. Do you understand?"
"Oh, I see."
After agreeing, Yu Li came in from the outside, and then sat quietly next to Wang Jianjun.
Although they are biological sisters, Yu Li's personality is not as out-of-the-box as Yu Haitang's. She is the kind of person who can calm down at any time.
"By the way, how is Haitang's foot injury recovering? It's been seven or eight days."
Last time I went to climb the Great Wall, Yu Haitang sprained her foot. She didn't come today, so Wang Jianjun asked with concern.
"Don't mention her, Brother Jun. I get angry when I talk about this damn girl. She's almost healed after applying the ointment you prepared for her. She'll be cured in a few days at most. 20
"It turned out that this damn girl didn't know the seriousness of the matter, so she sneaked out to play again when we were not at home. This time she was healed, but she was injured again."
"Now she has been grounded by my parents. Otherwise, with her foodie nature, she won't follow me when I come here today?"
It's okay that Wang Jianjun didn't mention Yu Haitang, but he didn't expect that this casual question would make Yu Li complain about her a few more times.
If Yu Haitang knew about it, he would definitely sigh, "When you lie down at home, the pot comes from the sky."
"Then let me prepare some more medicine for her and give it to her when I take you back in the evening. The effect of this medicine is quite good, especially in promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
"Thank you, Brother Jun."
"You little fool, you're making such outlandish remarks again. What's the relationship between the two of us? There's no need to talk about this. Okay, I'm going to start reading. You can take a break and eat some snacks first, and then clean up our house."
"I understand, Brother Jun, just read your book and don't worry about me. I'll go and clean up the bedroom first."
Seeing Yu Li starting to work directly, Wang Jianjun did not stop her, knowing that this was her character.
Maybe today is really not a good time to read. No, Yu Li had just settled in, and before he had read a few pages, someone greeted him outside the door again.
"Jianjun, two young men are looking for you. They say they are your apprentices and are here to wish you a happy New Year."
As soon as he heard this title, he knew that the third uncle, Yan Fugui, was outside, but what did he mean by paying New Year greetings?
After opening the curtain and walking outside, Wang Jianjun discovered that they were really his apprentices, the two brothers from the Ma family who had not appeared since work resumed.
Speaking of these two people, Wang Jianjun still admires them a little. Even though his family has a strong background, they are still willing to work as front-line workers and study hard.
He is also quite low-key in his daily life, but he is a bit special when eating. Anyway, since the relationship between master and apprentice, Wang Jianjun has never seen these two people eating in the cafeteria.
As soon as lunch time comes, the two people will go out and come back when work starts in the afternoon, always like this.
After resuming work this year, I haven't seen them coming. Wang Jianjun was still thinking about whether they would stop coming. He didn't expect that they would come to his house to pay him New Year's greetings today.
This really surprised him.
"Master, we are here to wish you a happy New Year. Don't be too late. We should have said that we would come on the first day of the new year, but there is nothing we can do.
Relatives. "
"It's okay. As long as it's not the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it's still considered Chinese New Year. Besides, I'm very happy that you can come. It proves that I was not wrong about the person."
"Come and sit at home. Thank you, Third Master. These two are my apprentices."
While inviting the two brothers into the house, Wang Jianjun also said thank you to the third uncle.
"Hey, what's there to be thankful for? Since there's no problem with you, I'll go back first."
"You walk slowly."
"Master, is this my wife? She is so beautiful, just like the heroines in those movies."
As soon as they entered the room, they saw Yu Li who was cleaning up the room, and immediately asked Wang Jianjun in surprise.
"Well, yes, this is my partner. We will get married this summer. It's okay to call her this way now."
"Lily, these two are my apprentices. They came here to wish me New Year greetings today. You go and take out the snacks and fruits at home.
"Welcome to my home. Please sit down for a moment and I'll get some snacks and fruits."
"Thank you, Master."
After saying hello to the Ma brothers first, Yu Li went to get the things. She naturally knew where the things were in Wang Jianjun's house.
"Master, I just heard from the old man that you have two apprentices who have been here since the first day of the new year."
"Yes, but they learned cooking from me, which is different from you. What's wrong?"
"No, it's the old man just now. When he heard that we were your apprentices, he almost reported us as street gangsters.
"There's nothing you can do about it. Who made you come a step too late? The old man is also serious and responsible. He is also the third master of our compound."
"That's right, Master, you guys in this big courtyard..."
The three of them were eating snacks while chatting about work and interesting things in life.
"Master, is the food in our factory canteen delicious? This year we will all eat in the canteen."
"The taste is not bad, even compared with the chefs in some small restaurants, it is not inferior."
"That's good, it's almost time, Master, we should go back."
"Why are you in a hurry? It will be noon soon. I'm going to cook now. You can leave after you finish."
When he heard that his two apprentices were leaving, Wang Jianjun naturally quickly tried to persuade them to stay.
"No need to bother, Master. We brothers are quite busy today. We haven't been back during the Chinese New Year. Many friends have to visit us."
"Okay then, I won't stop you. "We'll see you in Guangli at the end of tomorrow."
"Well, see you tomorrow, Master."
After sending the two apprentices to the entrance of the alley and watching them walk away, Wang Jianjun returned home.
"Brother Jun, do your two apprentices have family backgrounds?"
As soon as she returned home, Yu Li asked doubtfully.
"They do have some background in their family, but how did you figure it out? Lily."
"I guessed based on these gifts.
Following the direction of Yu Li's finger, Wang Jianjun knew what she was talking about.
I hadn't noticed it just now, but now that I took a closer look, Wang Jianjun understood why Yu Li thought so.
Although there are not many gifts, they are rare good things in this era. Ordinary people are not even qualified to buy them because they require foreign exchange coupons.
"It seems that my two apprentices are really not simple."
Wang Jianjun and Yu Li put it aside for the time being and came back to see the two Ma brothers.
After confirming that Wang Jianjun was back, the two men did not go forward. They turned around and entered another road. There was a large jeep parked next to it. They opened the door and got on.
"Hey! Big brother, second brother, why did you come out so quickly? Your cheap master didn't let you eat. This is too stingy.'
"I kept it, but I was rejected by my eldest brother. I originally wanted to try the master's craftsmanship, but now I missed it again."
"Okay, little sister, don't be poor and drive back now."
"I know, brother."
After agreeing, the car started slowly, and not long after, it drove into a single-family compound. This was not the point. The point was the armed guard at the entrance of the compound.
Looking at the number of guards and their security level, they are at least on the same level as the big leader, and may even be a little higher than him.
However, the Ma brothers and sisters can drive in and out freely, which means that they either come in and out frequently, or this is their home.
"Mom, why are you watching TV alone? Where is my dad?"
After entering the door, he saw his mother sitting in the living room watching TV, and Ma Aiguo asked casually.
"There was a call just now. Your dad went to the study to answer the call. He hasn't come out yet. If you want to find him, go to the study."
"good."
"Dangdang, Dad, I am patriotic. Is it convenient to go in now?"
"come in."
Ma Aiguo walked to the door of the study room, knocked on the door first, and after hearing the voice of agreement from inside, he opened the door and walked in.
"I'm back. I went to your master's house today to pay New Year greetings. Did you gain anything?"
The old man of the Ma family asked straight to the point. Obviously he knew what his son was doing today.
"Dad, my judgment has always been very accurate. You know this. Now I believe in my judgment even more. I am definitely not an ordinary person.
"Of course I know this. Tell me your reasons. You should know that in my position, sometimes the little things I do inadvertently may be regarded as some kind of signal by others.
“Okay, here’s what happened today, I………”
In the next five minutes, Ma Aiguo briefly explained how he went to Wang Jianjun's house today, looked at the old man's confused eyes, and then continued.
"Dad, the process of paying New Year greetings seems to be nothing, but I also found some unusual things, such as medical books that appeared in my master's house."
"Is there something wrong with this? Maybe it's just a personal preference. Could it be that you're overthinking it?"
Although 367 it is a bit awkward for a fitter to read a medical book, but it doesn’t mean anything?
"No, dad, do you still remember the other information I told you about my master?"
"A nineteen-year-old level six fitter has already begun to learn the skills of a level eight fitter. This means that he has fully mastered the skills of a level seven fitter. Is this reasonable?"
"In addition, he is also responsible for the reception meals in our factory. His superb cooking skills have been remembered by many leaders who have eaten there. But after all, he is only nineteen years old. Do you think it is reasonable?"
"Coupled with the fact that the combat power is beyond ordinary people, and now looking at medical books, there may even be other skills that we don't know about. Do you think it is reasonable?"
"To sum up, I think my master is a rare genius who can learn everything quickly and reach a very high level.
With these skills, he can definitely help us in the future, so I think it is very necessary to build a good relationship now, what do you think?"
After speaking out all his analysis in one breath, Ma Aiguo waited for the old man's opinion.
"If what you say is true, then your master is indeed a talent, but normal interactions are enough. There is no need to deliberately win over him."
"Technical talents like this are proud to the core. Don't even think about asking him to serve you wholeheartedly. That's impossible. The best way to get along is
There is going back and forth, and we help each other, do you understand?”
As expected of a sophisticated old man, his perspective on the problem was indeed extraordinary, and he immediately hit on the point.
"I understand, Dad, from now on...
"You can get along with each other how you want to get along. Don't you have a master-disciple relationship now? Just maintain it well.
"Thanks dad, I know what to do."
"Well, go out and start working hard from tomorrow. Although this job is temporary, this identity will be of great use to you. You will know it in the future."
"Okay, Dad, don't be too tired."
No matter what the background of his two apprentices is, to Wang Jianjun, there is actually no difference. They can just interact normally.
After the Ma brothers left, no one was interrupting his study. After lunch, his proficiency in medical skills and identification skills improved a lot throughout the afternoon.
He also took the time to prepare ointment for treating foot injuries for Yu Haitang, and brought it to Yu Li when she was sent home at night.
After receiving the gratitude from his father-in-law, mother-in-law and Yu Haitang, Wang Jianjun rode his bicycle back to his home. .
