Chapter 257 Let’s meet Madam
"Greetings, Miss, my name is Zhou Dingguo!"
However, when Cheng Jiayue heard Zhou Dingguo call her eldest lady, she pursed her lips and almost cried. "eldest lady" is not a good word in future generations. Of course, at Cheng Jiayue's age, she would not understand the meaning of that kind of lady. However, in Cheng Jiayue's world, the term eldest lady is almost synonymous with being spoiled, unruly and willful.
Cheng Jiayue hurriedly explained: "I'm not a eldest lady, Jiayue is very well-behaved!"
Zhou Dingguo looked at Cheng Jiayue nervously, and when Zhou Yandong recommended him to be Cheng Jiayue's companion and bodyguard, he repeatedly told Cheng Jiayue that he must not anger Cheng Jiayue under any circumstances. He didn't know what he said wrongly, so he hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Miss, Dingguo was wrong!"
"Everyone has told you, I am not a eldest lady, Jiayue is very well-behaved!"
Cheng Jiayue lost his temper, his mouth curled up in anger, and he was unwilling to look at Zhou Dingguo.
Zhou Dingguo looked at Chen Guodong helplessly and said: "Uncle Chen, I..."
Zhu Weiti seemed to notice that Cheng Jiayue was very concerned about others calling her eldest lady. She said patiently: "Jiayue, here, you are the eldest lady!"
Cheng Jiayue said a little aggrievedly: "I'm really not a young lady. I can dress myself, eat by myself, wash my own clothes... I can also clean up... I can also..."
Speaking of this, Cheng Jiayue's eyes turned red with grievance.
Fortunately, there was no Xiang Hui or Cheng Shijie here, otherwise, she might really cry.
Cheng Jiayue looked at Zhu Weiti and said, "Do you believe Jiayue? Jiayue is really not a young lady!"
When Zhu Weiti heard this, her heart became gloomy. It can be seen from Cheng Jiayue's sensitivity that Cheng Jiayue has suffered a lot in recent years, and the "eldest lady" should have bullied Cheng Jiayue a lot. So, from this It can be seen that Xiang's life will not be easy these years.
The more Xiang suffered, the more Cheng Shijie would feel guilty towards Xiang. In the future, Xiang's position in Cheng Shijie's heart would be unshakable.
Seeing that Cheng Jiayue was determined not to become the eldest lady, Zhu Weiti did not force it. Zhu Weiti motioned to the others not to call Cheng Jiayue the eldest lady.
Mao Yu timidly stretched out his little hand and said: "Cheng... Da, Jia Yue, my name is Mao Yu, nice to meet you!"
Sure enough, Cheng Jiayue said cautiously: "My name is Cheng Jiayue. I am seven and a half years old and I am in the second grade of elementary school."
"Hello, Jiayue, my name is Chen Zhong!"
"Hello, Cheng Jiayue, my name is Sun Pu!"
The four of them bowed to Cheng Jiayue, and Cheng Jiayue bowed to them in return.
Chen Guodong continued to introduce to Cheng Jiayue: "They will be your classmates and study with you!"
Cheng Jiayue looked at the new classmates and said, "Let's play together!"
Before a child is three years old, basically all time belongs to his parents. Between the ages of three and twelve, only the evenings belong to his parents. Between the ages of twelve and eighteen, only weekends belong to his parents. After the age of eighteen, only the children belong to their parents. You can only see your parents during the Chinese New Year.
Cheng Jiayue is now seven and a half years old. Both Cheng Shijie and Xiang Hui are busy with work and have limited time to spend with her. Of course, Cheng Jiayue is also used to her playmates.
In Zhu Weiti's view, Cheng Jiayue is a very cute little girl, not only beautiful, but also kind, compassionate and innocent. However, in the eyes of the four companions, Cheng Jiayue is a devil.
Cheng Jiayue looked at Mao Yu and said, "Are you good at studying?"
Mao Yu nodded and said: "Not bad, I have finished studying the Three Character Classic, Thousand Character Classic, Disciple Rules, Zengguang Xianwen and Youxue Qionglin!"
The traditional enlightenment textbooks for children in the Ming Dynasty were three hundred thousand, including the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames", "The Thousand Character Classic", as well as "Zengguang Xianwen" and "Young Learning Qionglin". Although Mao Yu was modest It's fair to say that, in fact, her academic performance is good.
As the old saying goes, you will be able to speak after reading "Zengguang", and you will be able to travel around the world after reading "Youxue". This ancient advertising slogan seems very exaggerated, but in fact, "Zengguang Xianwen" collects various Chinese maxims and proverbs from ancient times to the present.
But as long as you read the whole book carefully, it is not difficult to find its inherent logic. The book's understanding of human nature is based on the Confucian Xunzi's "theory of evil nature" as the premise, and it provides a cold-eyed insight into social life.
"Kindergarten Learning Qionglin" was originally called "Instructions for Preschool Learning", also known as "Idiom Test" and "Story Source Search". Compiled by Qiu Rui, a Jinshi during the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that as long as you read "Zengguang Xianwen" and "Young Xue Qionglin", you can basically be de-educated. In addition to mathematics and geometry knowledge, your literary level is completely acceptable. The level of junior high school students that crushes future generations.
Cheng Jiayue is also a child at heart and asked: "How about your math score?"
Mao Yu shook his head slightly: "General!"
"Mathematics is very difficult. I'm very good at math. I get 100 points every time!"
Cheng Jiayue began to ask in a pretentious manner: "How about your foreign language?"
"What foreign language?"
"English!"
Cheng Jiayue looked at Sun Pu and said: "Now you bow, and I curtsy!"
(Now you bow and I curtsey. This is an example of English sentence construction for the third grade of elementary school. The author expresses his deep suspicion of the sinister intentions of Gouri’s editor)
Sun Pu was confused.
Cheng Jiayue: "How was your handicraft class?"
"Nvhong (sound engineer)?"
"The handicraft class doesn't look very good!"
Cheng Jiayue looked proud: "It seems that your academic performance is not good, but don't be afraid, I will teach you, my academic performance is very good, I am the study monitor!"
The four companions looked at each other speechlessly.
Cheng Jiayue just liked to show off her academic performance. Mao Yu was not as good as her in mathematics, so she laughed at him. Sun Pu was laughed at for a while even if he didn't know how to take handicraft lessons.
As for Chen Zhong and Zhou Dingguo, they were even scolded. However, there are some children of her age who don't like to show off. They have to eat a small piece of candy in front of their friends before they get it. I find it interesting.
Therefore, the four major reading companions did not care about these things with her. They just vowed in their hearts that they would read good books if they had the opportunity, and they would not let her laugh at them again.
Of course, Cheng Jiayue immediately showed her kind-hearted side. The electronic music box that Cheng Shijie brought over before could be sold for thousands of taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty. She gave it to Sun Pu as a gift without any nostalgia at all. Meaning, as for Mao Yu, he received a set of plastic automatic pencil sharpeners.
This thing really surprised Mao Yuanyi. Mao Yuanyi was well-informed, but he had never seen a real plastic product. If Mao Yu wasn't about to cry, Mao Yuanyi really wanted to tear this gadget into pieces.
Chen Zhong and Zhou Dingguo were given a large bag of fruit candies produced by later generations by Cheng Jiayue.
With the four major students accompanying her, Cheng Jiayue has a smile on her face even though she has not officially enrolled yet. The four major companions received Cheng Jiayue's gift, so they would naturally return the gift.
Mao Yu gave Cheng Jiayue a Luban lock carved from huanghuali wood, Sun Pu gave Cheng Jiayue a nine-link ring, and Chen Zhong gave Cheng Jiayue a basket of water bamboo shoots.
Cheng Jiayue had never seen water bamboo shoots before and asked, "What is this?"
"This is called water bamboo shoot. It is very common in the river. It can be eaten raw. It tastes quite sweet."
Chen Zhong took a water bamboo shoot and chewed it vigorously.
Cheng Jiayue took the water bamboo shoots and gave them to the other three fat readers. You took one bite and I chewed it with gusto.
In front of Cheng Jiayue, the four major companions talked the most about Cheng Shijie. Because of Cheng Shijie, the refugees who had to wait for death had many options. Because of Cheng Shijie, Liaodong became very big.
However, what surprised Zhu Weiti was that Cheng Jiayue was not surprised at all when the four major companions brought up the new things that had just appeared in Liaodong, such as supermarkets where you can buy all kinds of things at will. This was also the business philosophy proposed by Cheng Shijie. Cheng Jiayue was not surprised. Isn't it a supermarket?
Cheng Jiayue said with a smile: "Isn't it a clothing store where you can buy ready-made clothes?"
Clothing stores are definitely a new business model that has just appeared in Liaodong. It has been less than three years since the first clothing store was opened.
You know, most of the women in the Ming Dynasty were good at handicrafts. This is called nvhong. This nvhong does not just refer to flower arranging and dressing, but includes all aspects of life, such as tailoring. In ancient times, small households did not need tailors at all, from weaving to weaving. You can do everything from fabric printing and dyeing to cutting and sewing, even sewing and repairing after it is torn.
However, Cheng Jiayue was not surprised, which made Zhu Weiti very curious.
What Zhu Weiti didn't know was that although Cheng Jiayue was young, he knew many and very complex things.
"My mother is very powerful. She is a big boss. Many people eat with me!"
"how many people?"
"There are...many!"
Cheng Jiayue didn't have any precautions. Balabala started talking about the five golden flowers she knew, Qiao Shuyuan and so on.
More importantly, Cheng Jiayue can write, and writes many simplified Chinese characters like Cheng Shijie. Cheng Jiayue shows off her painting skills very well. Of course, under the painting of the soul painter, the tall and mighty Chen Zhong was transformed into a glaring King Kong, euphemistic and beautiful Mao Yu was painted as a big-headed doll.
As for Sun Pu and Zhou Dingguo, they are like aliens.
This made Zhu Weiti feel dumbfounded, and she played happily until the evening.
Cheng Jiayue asked Zhu Weiti, "Where is my father?"
"Your dad is busy!"
"Oh, where's my mother!"
"Mom has to be busy too. How about auntie sleeping with you?"
"No, I'll sleep by myself!"
Cheng Jiayue found that she couldn't take off her clothes. With the help of Gu Ziyi, she took off her clothes and slowly fell asleep holding her beloved giant panda doll.
Zhu Weiti didn't know that this was a giant panda. In the Ming Dynasty, giant pandas were no longer called iron-eating beasts, but called bamboo bears. They specialized in eating bamboo and were very cute.
"Zi Yi, I heard that there are bamboo bears in Sichuan?"
"Yes, princess, just like the one the eldest lady is holding, it's very cute."
Zhu Weiti said: "I have been thinking about how to give the eldest lady a gift. Ordinary gold, silver and jewelry are not something the eldest lady would like. The meeting gift she gave to the fourth companion is worth thousands of taels of silver, otherwise Let someone capture two bamboo bears and let them be the eldest lady’s playmates?”
"This...it seems like there is no need to come here to catch him!"
"Oh, do we also have bamboo bears in Liaodong?"
"Yes, I have!"
Gu Ziyi smiled and said: "Princess, have you forgotten? The year before last, the prince-in-law had someone give General Qin three thousand spears to Qin Yiping of the Sichuan Army. In October last year, General Qin had someone give the commander two bamboo bears. Just keep it in the zoo!”
"Then let someone bring the bamboo bear over and give it to the eldest lady!"
"yes!"
When Cheng Jiayue woke up, she found a rustling sound in the room. When she followed the sound, she saw a huge bamboo basket covered with red silk.
Cheng Jiayue opened it, and there were actually two giant pandas inside. The two giant pandas were not too big, weighing seven or eight pounds, and were very cute. Cheng Jiayue laughed excitedly and said, "Oh, I saw giant pandas." Got it!"
Saying that, Cheng Jiayue reached out to hug one of the giant pandas. Cheng Jiayue could barely pick it up and put it in her arms. It was fleshy, warm and very cute in her arms.
Cheng Jiayue hugged her and quickly put her back.
Zhu Weiti looked at Cheng Jiayue's reluctant look and asked in confusion: "Jiayue, don't you like it?"
"I like it. This is a national treasure. We must send it back quickly. Don't let them stay cold and hungry. It will be troublesome if they get sick!"
Zhu Weiti smiled faintly and said: "If you really like it, I will give you two in a few days. Anyway, there are many bamboo bears in Sichuan."
"Give it to me?"
Cheng Jiayue's face was full of joy: "But this panda only eats bamboo!"
"Then let someone bring bamboo. We can raise some bamboo to feed the bamboo bears!"
Seeing that the Cheng family was so happy, Zhu Weiti asked people to change the backyard garden of Ning Haijun Military Mansion into a panda breeding hall, and the two giant pandas were placed in it.
Cheng Jiayue gave guidance: "We need to build a swing here for the giant pandas to play on!"
"Okay, let's build it!"
“We also need a slide here!”
"Okay, let's build it!"
Cheng Jiayue said: "We also need to build a swimming pool, and the giant pandas need to take a bath!"
"Then let's build it!"
After Cheng Jiayue arrived, the back yard of Ning Haijun's General Military Mansion had turned into a huge construction site. As the soul painter, Cheng Jiayue was responsible for drawing the drawings, and Ning Haijun's craftsmen were responsible for helping Miss Cheng realize it.
In later generations, after Cheng Shijie returned to the afterlife, he did not go home immediately. Instead, he bought an urn made of jade. Only now did Cheng Shijie know that the urn cost several thousand yuan. If he was a poor person, he might not even be able to die. rise.
With this urn in hand, Cheng Shijie was ready to confess to Xiang Hui.
When they came to the family home of Hansteel Group, they met some neighbors who expressed concern for Cheng Shijie. When Cheng Shijie returned home, the five golden flowers had gone. Xiang Hui seemed to be unable to see the sadness. Sorting out Cheng Jiayue's toys, including her paintings, her homework books, schoolbags, and various small things.
Looking at a painting of a family of four painted by Cheng Jiayue, Xiang Hui could no longer hold back her tears.
Cheng Shijie wanted to tell Xiang Hui that Cheng Jiayue went to the Ming Dynasty inexplicably, but at this moment, Cheng Shijie's cell phone rang.
Caller ID, Director Xu.
Cheng Shijie raised his cell phone towards Xiang Hui: "Director Xu!"
"Take it!"
Cheng Shijie answered the phone.
"Hey, Lao Cheng!"
"Director Xu!"
"I've heard about you too, my condolences!"
Director Xu said: "Our agency office, as well as the group's labor union, are going to send representatives to your place to express condolences. You can see when it's convenient!"
For employees of Hansteel Group, whenever an employee encounters a wedding or funeral, the agency office and the labor union will show up. Of course, it depends on the individual. If it is just an ordinary employee, there will be a consolation payment, ranging from a few hundred to several thousand yuan.
But Cheng Shijie is still the deputy director and a cadre at the department level. During this period, Cheng Shijie is running his own business, especially Xiang Hui's Longyue Catering. As long as Hansteel Group employees hold banquets, they will receive a 20% discount. Instead of a banquet, if you have a normal banquet, you will also receive two courses or drinks.
In particular, because Cheng Shijie spent too much time in the Ming Dynasty, he gave a lot of antiques to Director Xu and Vice President Lu who was in charge of the agency and logistics. In particular, Director Xu received two sets of porcelain from Cheng Shijie, which were placed in Xu He's house. After the teacher identified it, he determined that it was a cultural relic of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, it was actually a porcelain produced with Ming Dynasty craftsmanship. It had been professionally aged by a cultural relic shop. Even if it was tested with 14 charcoal, it would be difficult to detect it.
The most important thing is the value of this set of porcelain.
Of course, it was impossible for Director Xu not to say that after hearing that Cheng Jiayue died due to ineffective treatment, Director Xu mobilized the agency office, as well as the logistics office, the political and engineering department, and the group's labor union to provide private condolences to more than 300 cadres, plus Publicly funded consolation money is not a small amount, amounting to hundreds of thousands in cash.
"I'm at the Hansteel Group's family home now!"
"We'll be there in half an hour!"
"Thank you for your concern, leader!"
"You're welcome!"
Cheng Shijie hung up the phone and looked at Xiang Hui and said, "The unit leader will be here soon!"
Xiang Hui said: "I'll make arrangements!"
"good!"
"By the way, Long Yue Company is coming too!"
"We don't accept gifts!"
Cheng Shijie didn't want to take advantage of Cheng Jiayue's affairs to receive gifts.
"This is human nature!"
Not long after, Director Xu, Vice Chairman of the Trade Union Wei, as well as senior party officials and deputy secretaries, seven or eight people came downstairs, and Cheng Shijie led them into the room.
Director Xu handed a gift note to Cheng Shijie: "What happened has happened, and there is no way to change it. Sorry!"
"Thank you for your concern, leader!"
"Brothers and sisters, don't get carried away!"
Cheng Shijie said: "I arranged a meal at Hanhai Hotel!"
"I'm not going to eat anymore. You have a lot to do here, so take care of the housework first!"
Director Xu and his party visited Cheng Shijie's old house and left. Cheng Shijie looked at the gifts received, which amounted to more than hundreds of thousands, including 40,000 yuan from the agency and 20,000 yuan from the labor union. Director Xu Five thousand yuan for myself, two thousand, one thousand, five hundred, three hundred for other cadres, and the least is two hundred.
That is to say, Cheng Shijie did not resign. If he really resigned, the labor union and the government would definitely not come to offer condolences. After all, Hanhai Group has nearly 400,000 employees, and ordinary employees only stay at the department and department level. Of course, if Cheng Shijie is not at the department level, , then the union will not appear, but will provide special care when reporting difficulties to employees at the end of the year.
Cheng Shijie came back from seeing his boss off and said to Xiang Hui: "The employees from Longyue Company are also here. You go and make arrangements for this. I'll take a rest first!"
"good!"
Xiang Hui didn't dare to let herself be idle. Once she was idle, her mind would be filled with the shadow of Cheng Jiayue.
But she couldn't control her head. In desperation, she hugged the "Cheng Jiayue" urn. After an unknown amount of time, she finally fell asleep.
When Cheng Shijie returned to the room after entertaining the employees of Longyue Company, he found Xiang Hui sitting on the edge of the bed, holding the urn in his arms.
Cheng Shijie wanted to tell Xiang Hui the truth, but before she could speak, Xiang Hui said, "Shijie, do you think people have souls?"
"have!"
"Then, Jiayue will be reborn into a good family, right?"
"It's good to do well. Jia Yue is so kind, so he will definitely do it!"
"If there is a next life..."
Cheng Shijie said: "Okay, don't do this. If Jia Yue sees it..."
Xiang Hui looked at Cheng Shijie solemnly and said, "She is the flesh that has fallen from my body. How can I not let her go?"
"But……"
Xiang Hui leaned on Cheng Shijie's shoulder and sighed: "Why is life so miserable? We just lived a good life, and Jia Yue didn't even enjoy a single day of happiness!"
At this moment, Xiang Hui's cell phone rang.
Caller ID, Teacher Huang.
Xiang Hui answered the phone: "Hey, Teacher Huang, is Jia Long causing trouble again?"
"That's not the case. It's because Cheng Jialong heard about Cheng Jiayue and wanted to go home life or death. He couldn't persuade him at all!"
Cheng Shijie said: "I'll pick him up from school!"
"No, if you drink, don't ride the electric bike. I'll drive to pick him up!"
Just as Cheng Shijie helped Xiang Hui walk down, Cheng Shijie suddenly discovered that the strange white light on the second floor appeared again. He hurriedly hugged Xiang Hui's head and began to brew his emotions.
However, the white light disappeared in a flash.
The next moment, Cheng Shijie appeared in the Ming Dynasty, with Xiang Hui beside him.
Xiang Hui was not surprised by the ancient buildings around her, but looked at Cheng Shijie and said in surprise: "Can I see Jiayue! Jiayue, Jiayue..."
Xiang Hui shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Commander!"
"Where is Jia Yue?"
"The eldest lady is in the panda park!"
"Where is the panda park? Lead the way!"
"Yes, handsome!"
Cheng Shijie hurriedly helped Xiang Hui walk to the panda garden, passed through the hand-chaoshou corridor, and came to the panda garden in the back courtyard. At this time, Cheng Jiayue was feeding the pandas with bamboos, and two pandas were fighting for the bamboos.
"Don't grab it, don't grab it, just be good!"
While Cheng Jiayue was concentrating on feeding the pandas, Xiang Hui saw Cheng Jiayue.
Xiang Hui hurriedly ran towards Cheng Jiayue: "Jiayue, Jiayue, mother is here!"
He took three steps to Hui and then two, and rushed towards Cheng Jiayue.
"Mother!"
Cheng Jiayue also saw Xiang Hui and ran towards Xiang Hui quickly.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.
After receiving the news, Zhu Weiti, Gu Ziyi, Yang Yunniang, Jin Qiaoer and others came to the panda park.
When they saw Xiang Hui, they hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Greetings, madam!"
Xiang Hui didn't pay attention to the crowd. In her eyes, her daughter Cheng Jiayue was the only one in her world.
