After the raggedy Marquis paid Han Chunming for the car, the two honest people helped Han Chunming carry the set of furniture into the house. They carried the old one out and put it in the storage room before leaving.
"Aiyo, it's so comfortable to sit on a good thing.”As soon as the two of them left, the old man sat on the chair without caring about the dust that had not been wiped clean. He had a look of enjoyment on his face.
"Grandson, did your Grandpa Nine Gates Admiral ever tell you the story of four small porcelain bowls?”As soon as he sat down and took a sip of tea, the old man closed his eyes again and quickly adjusted his state of mind. His tone was calm as he asked Han Chunming.
"I know. The tea is fragrant. After the wine, we'll gather our friends and return to the building.”Han Chunming replied seriously.
"I have a small bowl. The remaining three bowls were snatched by that bird just now when my friend's family declined…"
"Pei, that bird's father was snatched away just now. This is also the reason why I don't like him.”The old man realized that he had a bad taste in his mouth. After patting his mouth gently, he continued to speak.
Han Chunming also squatted in front of him, one hand on his shoulder and the other on his head, listening attentively. He also knew that the only thing he needed to do now was to listen carefully.
"Then do you know why I want you to collect cultural relics that are wandering among the people?”The old master opened his eyes and looked at his only disciple before him as he asked.
Han Chunming nodded slightly." I know. This is not only an antique, but also a condensed version of an era. It proves the culture left behind by our ancestors."”
"Pa!"
"That's right!" The old man slapped his thigh and said in satisfaction.
At this moment, the old man, who was beaming with joy, raised his voice a lot.
"Grandson, remember, the quality of a thing is not determined by its value, but by the story behind it, the culture!”
"Back then, it was precisely because Xiang Yu had risked his life to fight to the death that his descendants had the concept of life after death! It is precisely because of this concept that our warriors can counterattack and win one battle after another!”
"Just the word 'Lei Feng' can awaken the kindness in everyone's hearts!”The old man pounded his chest hard. His voice was hoarse and his eyes gradually turned red.
" Just the names 'Huang Jiguang' and 'Qiu Shaoyun' are enough to mobilize the strength and courage of our entire nation!”
"Too many names! There were too many keys! Too many memories! These were all left behind by the ancestors in exchange for their lives. We descendants can't forget them, grandson!”The old man gently caressed Han Chunming's face, and a rare gentleness appeared on his weathered face.
"Don't look at it just because it's a cultural relic, a treasure! This was also a key left behind by the ancestor! I really can't bear to see my descendants ruin them! We definitely can't stand the good things left behind by our ancestors leaving our country and becoming a tool for foreigners to mock us!”
As the old man spoke, he pointed a finger at the door and then suddenly lowered it. After a roar, the tears in his eyes could not help but flow out of his eyes and fall to the ground along his face.
"Old Master, I understand!" Han Chunming nodded, his eyes red.
"Little Five swears to you that in the future, if I see any treasure, I will definitely keep it in the country even if I have to sell everything! Don't let any of it go out!" Han Chunming's eyes suddenly became determined as he raised his head and gritted his teeth.
Merchants might sell their collected cultural relics abroad at a high price in order to earn more money, but collectors like the old man did not collect them for profit. They really liked them!
Even in the dark times, even if they were poor and could not eat, they still guarded the last door in the hearts of the domestic collectors!
Nation! Huaxia!
This was their most solid bottom line, and also the place they were most proud of! They weren't protecting themselves, but for the future generations, for the national spirit of that era!
"Good child, good child, you are indeed the disciple of your Nine Gates Admiral grandpa.”The old man closed his eyes and raised his head, unwilling to let Han Chunming see his tears. At the same time, he reached out and gently patted Han Chunming's cheek.
"Go, there's something under the bowl on the rightmost side of the second floor of the cabinet. It's a gift from me.”After gently patting Han Chunming's cheek, the old man pointed to a cabinet in the corner of the living room.
"Alright." After trying hard to calm himself down, Han Chunming sniffled and stood up again. He walked over to the old man's cabinet.
Never in his dreams did he expect to learn another lesson from the old master today.
"Kaka." The glass door was pulled open, and Han Chunming moved the bowl away, leaving the last one. Then, he looked at the old man and opened the bottom of the bowl.
It was a blue scarf.
"That's all my savings. 20,000 yuan. Take it.”
"I originally wanted to use it for my old age, but I thought that you were still in good health and could live for another few decades. I don't have to worry about my old age, so I handed it to you.”The old man was still looking up. His eyes were still closed, but he was laughing.
Han Chunming didn't open the scarf and put it in his pocket. Then, he cupped his fists and bowed deeply to the old man."Master, Little Fifth has promised you and will never go back on his word!”
"I'll get the small porcelain bowl back for you! I won't let go of an item left behind by my ancestors even if I have to sell everything! The four restaurants that you wanted to name after Little Bowl, Little Five is not bad at all. I'll open them all for you!”
After saying this, the old man opened his eyes and put on a stern face again. He said sternly,"Grandson! You didn't bring any wine when you came in, and you're still not leaving. Are you trying to stay and freeload off your Grandpa Nine Gates Admiral's meal?!”
"Alright, take care of your health. Little Five will take his leave now!”Han Chunming chuckled and left.
After leaving the old man's house, Han Chunming immediately rushed to Taozi's house to discuss the matter of opening a restaurant together.
He had said before that he and Tao Zi were brothers who would share weal and woe together. Moreover, opening a restaurant was not something he could do alone. He needed help.
At this moment, Han Chunming didn't know that the Siheyuan was in an uproar. The reason was simple: Meng Xiaoxing was going to marry him!
I believe that people like the Nine Gates Admiral still exist, and they will always exist!）
