"Oh, this shopkeeper Tong has such a bad temper. He doesn't even offer tea to customers when they come in. He just makes a little joke and kicks them out. This is your business."
When Tong Fengquan heard Liu Guangqi's words, he also realized that his reaction just now was too intense. He might have been a little anxious because he hadn't opened for too long.
This joke was perfectly normal in the past, and I had even seen jokes worse than this, but now this sentence became ridicule in my eyes. Tong Fengquan scolded himself so hard in his heart that he couldn't even do business after a long time.
He wanted to apologize to Liu Guangqi, but when he saw the shameless smile on Liu Guangqi's face, the anger surged in his heart again. Xin Yiheng continued to sit on the chair and read, and stopped talking to Liu Guangqi.
"Interesting, pretend to be cool for me"
Liu Guangqi looked at Teacher Guoli who was gritting his teeth and remaining silent. He stood up and walked out the door without any nonsense. However, as he walked to the door, something came out of his mouth.
"Hey, I originally wanted to tell someone the whereabouts of Second Grandma Ru while I had a good cup of tea, but now it seems I don't need to."
Liu Guangqi's light words fell like thunder in Tong Fengquan's ears.
"three"
"two"
Walking out of the door of Yuehan Hall, Liu Guangqi started counting. Before Qin Huairu could ask a question, Tong Fengquan's enthusiastic voice sounded behind him.
"Wait a minute, little comrade. Little comrade, I, Tong Fengquan, did not entertain you well. Please come in and I will make you a pot of good tea."
Before the words could even be finished, Tong Fengquan stopped in front of Liu Guangqi and the others with a standard old Ji Kengwan and Baobao smile.
"Why, don't let me go."
Liu Guangqi looked at Tong Fengquan, who had a mean smile on his face, and smiled and joked.
"How dare you? I'm blind, but you know better. Please tell me."
Tong Fengquan respectfully invited the three of them back to the shop with a smile on his face, then took out a handful of tea leaves from his shopkeeper's drawer, brewed them and brought them to Liu Guangqi.
The difference in attitudes before and after stunned the Qin Huairu sisters.
"It's okay, Longjing. It's a bit old. Shopkeeper Tong, do you really want to know the news about Second Grandma Ru?"
Liu Guangqi blew the tea leaves floating on the water, took a sip, and tasted it. Then he looked at the anxious shopkeeper Tong and asked.
"You said. I'll wait for you."
Why is Tong Fengquan not in a hurry, but after so many years, it is not far behind now. After so many years, it is not easy to have trust. If he bumps into the other party again and doesn't tell him, then he will regret it to death.
Seeing Tong Fengquan's attitude, Liu Guangqi also became serious. After all, what he was going to say next was mixed, and the impact of the playful smile was not good.
"Shopkeeper Tong, you have to be mentally prepared. I have good news and bad news here."
When Tong Fengquan heard this, his heart skipped a beat and his face turned pale. I never expected that after waiting for so long, I would be waiting for bad news.
"Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Listen to the bad ones first."
If you hear the bad news first, there will be some good news to catch up later. If you hear the good news first and then the bad news, you may not be able to recover for a while.
"Okay, the bad news is that Second Grandma Ru is dead."
"ah"
After hearing these words, Tong Fengquan suddenly collapsed to the ground as if he had been struck by lightning.
"How is this possible? How could she die? How could a good living person die? She is fine. You must be lying to me. You are just trying to cheat me for tea."
When Tong Fengquan came back to his senses, he grabbed Liu Guangqi's arm and asked frantically. Then he pushed Liu Guangqi and prepared to drive Liu Guangqi out.
However, Liu Guangqi was already prepared to push him onto the chair and said while looking at Tong Fengquan who was in tears and sobbing.
"Calm down. If Grandma Ru is dead, she is dead. She died in childbirth."
"Died in childbirth?"
After hearing this, Tong Fengquan stopped howling for a moment. His eyes were dull and he looked at Liu Guangqi in disbelief.
"Well, she died in childbirth. She gave birth to a son for you, but unfortunately he didn't survive. This is the good news I want to tell you. You are having a baby."
After hearing Liu Guangqi's words, Tong Fengquan slumped in his chair without speaking for a long time, staring blankly into space. Liu Guangqi didn't bother him. Anyone who knew such great joy and sorrow in such a short period of time would be heartbroken and unable to accept it.
"May I ask, little comrade, where did you get this news? If it is true, then Tong will be very grateful."
After being stunned for a long time, Tong Fengquan steeled himself, rubbed his face, and asked Liu Guangqi with the last glimmer of hope.
"The news must be true. Do you remember Mama Feng? She is the old lady who follows Grandma Ru Er. She is now my Grandma Ninth. She raises your and Grandma Ru Er Grandma's children with my Ninth Master. I also came here by chance. Got it.”
Hearing Liu Guangqi say that Feng's mother was still alive, Tong Fengquan's heart sank, knowing that what the other party said was probably true.
"I don't know where Feng's mother is now. Can you take me there? I want to see the graves of my children and Second Grandma Ru."
Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Only when he saw the graves of his children and Second Grandma Ru with his own eyes could Tong Fengquan completely give up.
"Of course, but I have something to tell you before I go. If you agree, I can take you there."
"You can say whatever you want, as long as I, Tong Fengquan, can do it, I won't hesitate, even if you want my store, I will do it."
"Stop, stop, stop, why do I want your store? I, Liu Guangqi, am a respectable person after all. How could I do such a despicable thing?"
Liu Guangqi quickly stopped Tong Fengquan. Why did he look like a despicable person?
"What I want to tell you is about the child. I just told you that this child is now being raised by my ninth master and my ninth grandma. My ninth master is old and finally has a wife. Don't think too much about it. What I mean is, after you go, can you not take the child away directly? I, Master Jiu, won't live long, so you can let this child stay with me, Master Jiu, for a few more years and give him a gift. In the end, I have fulfilled my filial piety and repaid the kindness of adoption."
Liu Guangqi's ninth master is dying, which is why Liu Guangqi dares to tell Tong Fengquan about the child. If Liu Guangqi thought that Master Jiu could live for another ten years, Liu Guangqi would not mention these things to Tong Fengquan and would only come over to watch the excitement. But Master Jiu saw that he only had a year and a half left. When Master Jiu stared at him, how could his cheap Grandma Jiu feed the child? She was already in her forties or fifties.
"I understand, it's better to be kind than to be kind. Don't worry, I won't mention it when I go."
Tong Fengquan agreed to Liu Guangqi's request after some thought. With Tong Fengquan's guarantee, Liu Guangqi was relieved. He didn't want to be poked in the back by the villagers. Tong Fengquan is a man who keeps his word when it comes to friendship, which can also be seen in the TV series.
"Okay, then you clean up and we'll leave in a moment."
After the matter was settled, Tong Fengquan locked the door and got on his car and followed Liu Guangqi to Nanluogu Lane. He waited at the door for Liu Guangqi and the three of them finished their meal. The four of them rode two bicycles towards Liujiacun.
On the way, Liu Guangqi casually mentioned that he liked antiques, but even if he didn't understand it, he had no place to learn it. Tong Fengquan immediately said that as long as Liu Guangqi wanted to learn, he could go to Liulichang to find him at any time, and he would definitely tell him everything he knew. A little wish has come true. There is a big difference between having a teacher teach you and learning by yourself. Although there are many genuine products these days, it is not without fakes. You still need a good eye to find out what is missing on Taobao. No one can teach you how to do it on your own. What a loss.
Because he was anxious to see the graves of his son and Mistress Ru, Tong Fengquan rode very fast. Fortunately, Liu Guangqi only took Qin Huairu with him, otherwise he would not be able to keep up with him.
An hour and a half later, a group of people arrived at Liujia Village. After saying hello to the villagers, Liu Guangqi took Tong Fengquan to his Master Jiu's house. After opening the door, Feng's mother was stunned for a moment when she saw Liu Guangqi behind Tong Fengquan, and then said: He shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Mr. Tong"
"Oh, my mom's voice sounds like she can sing."
Hearing Feng's mother's sincere shouts, Liu Guangqi almost didn't laugh. The emotion was too sincere and the performance was a bit too hard.
"Feng Ma"
Tong Fengquan looked at Feng's mother in front of him and completely believed what Liu Guangqi said. The emotions accumulated in his heart suddenly burst out. They hugged Feng's mother and cried bitterly.
While the two of them were talking to each other about the past years, Liu Guangqi squeezed into the room and found his Master Jiu, and told him his considerations.
"I understand, Guangqi, thank you very much."
Master Jiu was very angry at first, but after hearing Liu Guangqi's considerations, he thought about it and said nothing more. He was already dying and the child was only a few years old. It was pure nonsense to expect him to provide for him until he died. Feng Ma, as long as Feng Ma is still here.
As for the child, it's fine that he stays with you while he's alive, and he can go wherever he likes after death. What's more, since he is his biological father, he won't let the child suffer.
