Chapter 644 Prince Kang
As the saying goes, filial piety comes first among all good deeds.
Ning Weimin indeed has no relatives, but serving his teacher is like serving his father.
Since he thought of everyone, how could he forget his master Kang Shude?
After all the chores were arranged, Ning Weimin made a special trip to have a good talk with the old man.
He had only one purpose: to persuade Kang Shude to quit his job as a gatekeeper and enjoy his happiness.
"Old man, you see that part of your house has come back now. I bought a new yard. We have bought so many belongings. Even if we are unlucky again in the rest of our lives, we can rely on Dangdang. Son, that’s enough to live a good life.”
“Besides, I’m doing pretty well as your apprentice. Even this salary and bonus are worth ten ministers.” Do you need to keep doing it? "
"I'm not telling you, outsiders would be surprised to see our situation. Even the neighbors in our courtyard wouldn't say anything. But outside this courtyard, I’m afraid the neighbors won’t understand. Maybe someone is saying that I’m evil behind my back. Isn’t it unfair to say that I have a reputation of not caring for the elderly?”
Ning Weimin tried his best to express his good intentions tactfully.
But the problem is that the elderly in this era are most particular about superiority and inferiority.
Even the most humble person outside is still the "Top Emperor" when he returns home.
The most annoying thing is when people from younger generations interfere with your own behavior and habits.
As a grandson and a daughter, even if she has good intentions, she is still suspected of being disobedient.
So when Kang Shude heard these words, he felt as if he had been touched and found fault.
"What's the matter? You want me to quit my job just to make your reputation look better! Oh, am I doing it for the money? Just mind your own business, and don't worry about mine... ”
Ning Weimin had to apologize quickly.
"Old man, don't get me wrong. Of course I know you're not doing it for money. You go to work just to have something to do, and you don't want to stay at home and stare at the wall in a daze. Right? My It means that our situation is different from the past. If you are willing, you will never be bored. So why should we let others take care of us? "
“Look, although we have restored part of this house, we still have to repair it later. How will the repair be done? Don’t worry if you don’t personally supervise it. What if the repair is not to your liking? And what’s more? Who else but you can do the sorting, sorting, and sorting of our belongings?” It's because they are limited by categories, and they may not be good at miscellaneous items. Secondly, they don't have the ability to run an antique shop like you. Back then, you were responsible for sorting out the cabinets. How can I save it? Who can compare with you? ”
"Also, my Zhai Palace has a second-hand shop that earns foreign exchange. Sun Wufu only knows how to collect but not choose. I have been busy with other things, so I haven't been there for a long time. The things he collected are all in storage now. There must be a lot of good stuff in there. The thrift store can't put new goods in without going through some selection. We can't let foreigners pick up our stuff, can we? If you want to help with the eyes, then I will..."
Ning Weimin became more and more enthusiastic as he talked.
However, this time, before he even finished speaking, he was attacked by Kang Shude.
The old man said "Hmm" in a strange tone and continued on.
"Yes, then you are really suitable! Why do you want me to resign like this? You are thinking of me and want nothing to do with me. That's nice to say, let me leave the jade factory to work for you, and you will do it for me. Which of these tasks is easier? Then I won’t be more tired?”
Look, how difficult it is to communicate this matter with Kang Shude.
I wonder if older people are just so stubborn, so suspicious, and so sensitive.
Good words cannot be understood properly anyway.
Ning Weimin's good intentions were completely regarded as a fool by the old man.
Things just went wrong.
However, Ning Weimin was not discouraged and was amused by the old man. Because in this matter, Kang Shude's stubbornness and unreasonableness were exactly the same as those of other ordinary old people, but he was too childlike.
Compared with the way he talks about all kinds of old allusions, he seems like a different person.
So Ning Weimin could only resort to coaxing his children.
"I said, old man, where did your words go? It's too foreign. I am your apprentice. I am asking for your help. How can I be called a messenger? You are an old man. With this ability, you just want to Is it ridiculous to keep silently watching the door? How do you teach me how to make a difference? "
"Besides, even if I am really employed by my old master, I will still be polite to others. This is what you taught me. The more capable people are, the more we have to respect others. I am like this to outsiders, just Don't tell me I'm right."
"I can't let you work hard for me, I don't feel sorry for you at all. Don't forget, we are not working, everything is up to you. Just do it. If you don't want to, you can just rest."
"Let's just come to Zhai Gong, just like you go to the park when you have nothing to do. I will drive you to and from work in the morning and evening, and we will go to work together. . For meals, you can choose simple Western food from Zhai Palace’s cafe, or the palace dishes and dim sum porridge and noodles from Tan Palace. Even if you prefer to eat at the canteen of Temple of Heaven Park, there will be people at Zhai Palace to prepare meals for you.”
"And I also have an office in the Zhai Palace. There is a big sofa in it. After lunch, you can drink tea, read the newspaper, and take a nap. Outside the Zhai Palace, there are There are many old people playing the piano, playing chess, and walking birds. There is no shortage of people to chat with you to relieve your boredom."
"If you want to raise a few birds, don't you. If you love Peking Opera and can play the piano, you can pick it up again. Every Sunday, we have a second-hand market in front of the Zhai Palace. Snacks from the service bureau will also be delivered to the Zhai Palace cafe and a buffet will be held. You can also eat and drink as you like. ”
"In addition, you have to help me choose things, and it won't be in vain. Half of the things you choose will belong to you. From now on, half of my salary will also belong to you. How about it? Let's put it this way, you have to listen to me and help me. I am sitting in the Zhai Palace. From now on, you are no longer Master Kang, you are Prince Kang..."
At the end, Ning Weimin couldn't help but be frivolous and teased the master with a little disrespect.
But from these words, Kang Shude could clearly feel how thoughtfully his apprentice had considered the details for him, and fully felt the care for him.
Besides, if you ask yourself, this treatment is really on par with the prince. Even if it is a joke, there is an element of truth.
So instead of being angry, the old man remained silent. After a long time, he hesitated and asked.
"You arranged it for me like this? Aren't you afraid of others gossiping?"
"Gossip?" Ning Weimin smiled. "That's our territory, who dares?"
These words were so arrogant that Kang Shude couldn't help but frown.
He was disgusted with Tushengjian, but unexpectedly Ning Weimin said another reason, which completely made him lose his temper.
“Hey, I know, I know, you don’t want to hear it, and you want to lecture me. But what I really mean is that I manage all the interpersonal relationships in Tiantan Park, up and down, inside and outside. It's very stable. The benefits I bring to them are beyond others. You are my only relative, so I just want you to enjoy your life there. In other words, no one will have any objections. If I can't even take care of you, then what's the point of being the leader? I'm really tired of doing this job, even Mr. Song from our company said the same thing."
< br>
Ning Weimin then took out another deposit receipt and placed it in front of Kang Shude.
"Old man, I didn't pay much attention to you in the first time. I was confused. This is 20,000 yuan and it will expire soon. You can use it as pocket money."
< br>"I have another idea. After you quit your job, how about I accompany you around the country. We can go wherever you want. As long as you want to go."
"Don't be like this Looking at me, I now understand that the things in my hands are not that important and can be put aside. The first thing in life is to know how to cherish your loved ones. "
This is a good saying. Shu De felt warm in his heart.
He didn't want the money, so he just refused to return it.
But it was so strange. My lips were trembling for a long time. I wanted to say something, but I didn’t have the right words.
On the contrary, a bright light flashed in the corner of his eyes.
