"Mr. Li, there's news recently about a young man who saved 36 people. Have you heard about it?"”
Old Man Li nodded." I heard that the bus rushed into the river and he saved everyone on the bus by himself.”
Sister Liu asked again," Then do you know that this young man joined the army this year? Because of the rescue, the army is now giving this young man a first-class merit!”
"There's a reason why I'm rushing you. Before the young man goes to the army, hurry up and make a plaque with the words 'Home of the First-class Meritorious Servant'.”
Old Man Li was stunned.
He was a retired soldier and knew everything about the army.
All these years, there was only one second-class merit in the city. At that time, the whole city had already announced it, causing a sensation.
And now, he had actually achieved first-class merit!
Old Man Li sighed with emotion. He was glad that his body was tough enough and that he had lived long enough to see such a good thing!
Big Sister Liu said," Master Li, you just have to do it well and work hard. Don't worry about the salary. We'll pay for it."”
Old Man Li waved his hand." I'll do it now! I won't take a single cent for this salary. I've been a soldier before, so I can't earn money from this kind of thing. When the time comes, you just have to pay the cost.”
Big Sis Liu gave him a thumbs up." People from the army are indeed different. They have high awareness!" Master Li, you don't have to worry about the cost. You have to pick good wood. That young man is a real hero of the people!”
Old Man Li nodded. Go back first. I'll call you when the plaque is done!”
"Thank you in advance, Master Li!" Big Sis Liu left with a smile.
Old Man Li did not get up immediately. Instead, he lit a cigarette first.
He smoked leisurely, but he was actually thinking hard. After he finished smoking, he had an idea and turned around to enter the timber room.
There were all kinds of wood in the wood room. It was clean and tidy.
The woodworking business was very particular. Old Man Li's craftsmanship was already beyond description, and the profits were all on this wood.
If someone else made a cabinet with the same wood, they could only sell it for 100 yuan.
Old Man Li could sell it for 200 yuan.
If the cabinet was polished and boasted, Old Man Li could sell it for 400 yuan.
However, Old Man Li had a good conscience and never did anything that contained water. His wood room was filled with real wood.
However, Old Man Li had never touched the piece of wood wrapped in oilcloth on the top of the shelf.
No matter how big the client was or how much money he had to pay, he had never thought about it.
It was not because of anything else, but because it was what he wanted.
He couldn't bear to.
Old Man Li lifted the tarpaulin, took down the heavy wood, and dragged it to the light.
Under the light, the color of the wood was soft and beautiful, and the lines were exquisite. Only natural ones could be created, and artificial ones could not be replicated.
This was an authentic yellow rosewood!
Originally, Old Man Li had thought that he would grind this piece of wood into a string of Buddhist beads when he was free, and then he would coil it up for another ten years.
But today, he felt that this piece of wood had fulfilled its destiny!
It had been staying there quietly, as if it had been waiting for this day to make a plaque for a first-class meritorious minister!
Old Man Li dragged the wood into the tool room. Without saying much, he started working overnight!
At this moment, at the Chu family's dining table, Chu Gensheng and Wang Caixia were already drunk.
Chu Bai finally managed to coax Chu Li to sleep, but he heard his parents 'and his own phones ringing non-stop in the living room.
His parents picked up the phone. Just as they put it down, another call came in.
Third Granduncle, yes, it was a first-class merit!
Fifth Grandpa, congratulate me? Thank you, thank you!
Hahaha, don't just congratulate me, Chu Bai is also your grandson!
Drinking Moutai, Moutai was delicious, but it made her feel even better!
Dad, Mom, you want to come over to see Chu Bai? Alright, alright, I'll call a car to pick you up.
What, Second Aunt's family is coming too? Didn't Second Aunt quarrel with you?
What third aunt? You've never mentioned it to me before!
So we have so many relatives! I didn't know about it before, hahaha!
Third Granduncle, the whole family is coming? There was no room at home!
I'll send a car to pick you up. I'll rent two buses to pick you up!
Come, all of you, I'll book a hotel.
This is a joyous occasion. I'm happy to spend money!
Chu Bai asked Chu Li to close the door, then he quietly picked up his phone and went into his room.
There were also many missed calls on his phone, and he had received 999 unread messages on WeChat.
His phone vibrated wave after wave.
It was obvious that they were all former classmates who had come to congratulate him.
Chu Bai couldn't be bothered to respond, so he switched off his phone and turned on his computer to play games.
You Xi was the last piece of pure land. No one knew that he was Chu Bai.
Teaming up with him was entirely because his skills were good enough.
After playing two games, Wang Caixia knocked on the door and came in.
"Chu Bai, your dad has decided to book a hotel tomorrow and call all his relatives and friends to hold a celebration party for you!"”
Chu Bai found it troublesome." There's no need.”
"Why not?" Wang Caixia shook her head.”
She was drunk and spoke a little agitatedly," Relatives rarely interact with each other. This time, you got first-class merit and shocked them. No matter what, they wanted to come and see you.”
"Besides, you've given Dad and Mom so much face. Not only do we have to hold a celebration party, but we have to make it grand and spectacular!”
Chu Bai was speechless. His mother was drunk, using it vigorously.
"Just one sentence. This celebration party is set. You should also call your classmates and friends to join in the fun!”
Wang Caixia made the final decision and left.
Chu Bai felt a little helpless. It seemed like this celebration party had to be held.
Since that was the case, he had to call a few of his close classmates.
He switched on his phone again. Just as he finished switching on his phone, an unknown number called him.
He casually hung up.
Then, another unknown number came.
He hung up several times in a row.
Then, a number with a name appeared." Yingying."
Chu Bai was stunned for a moment. A name that was stored in the form of overlapping words didn't look simple.
He recalled for a moment and gradually remembered that Yingying was the class belle of the Host's high school days. Her name was Cheng Ying.
She was charming and cute, and was the deskmate of the Host.
The Host was attracted to beautiful women every day, so it was inevitable that she would not be moved and would often express her goodwill to her.
Cheng Ying probably saw through it, so she didn't reject or accept it. The two of them just treated each other as classmates.
After going to university, the two of them were not in the same city, so they did not contact each other anymore.
Chu Bai didn't expect her to call him.
He hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the call.
Cheng Ying's voice sounded familiar." Chu Bai, congratulations. I saw the news. You've received first-class merit."”
Chu Bai smiled politely." Thank you. It's nothing serious."”
"Don't be modest!" Cheng Ying laughed like a silver bell. What are you doing now? I called you before. Why didn't you pick up?”
"Too many people are calling, I can't answer them," replied Chu Bai.”
