Fisherman's Secret

Inexplicably, someone stuffed a dagger with its blade rolled off. Fang Jing didn't think of what to do with this small dagger for the time being. He wrapped the dagger carefully with a piece of cotton cloth and put it in the drawer.

When I have a chance in the future, I will find someone to appraise it to see what material it is forged and whether it can be repaired. If it can be repaired, I will return it to Cen Jiu after it is repaired. After all, it is a relic of someone close to me. He always feels a little poked in his heart. son.

Silent all night.

Fang Xiaole was going to school on Monday, Fang Jing sent Fang Xiaole to the car to the city before dawn, went home to eat breakfast, cleaned up, and took Fang's father to the hospital for an examination.

Because Fang's father couldn't walk, it was very inconvenient to take a car, and there were a lot of things to bring, so Fang's mother locked the door and went with her.

The few miles from the village to the town are full of country roads, full of potholes, not to mention wheelchairs, and even cars are not easy to walk, you have to use your back.

No matter how thin Father Fang is, he is still a serious adult man. Even if he is very thin and has no two legs, he still weighs eighty or ninety catties, and Fang Jing can't carry it by himself even if he is six or seven miles away.

Cen Jiu squatted down in front of Papa Fang, silently carrying Papa Fang on his back.His actions were so natural that Fang Jing forgot to refuse for a moment, and subconsciously helped Mother Fang put Father Fang on Cen Jiu's back.

Cen Jiu stood up steadily with Father Fang, who weighed more than 90 kilograms, standing up without taking a breath.

Fang Jing compared the strength difference between the two, silently folded the wheelchair, carried it on his shoulders, and followed behind Cen Jiu.

It feels a little strange that my father needs an outsider to recite it.

Cen Jiu carried Father Fang on his back on the dirt road for a few miles in silence, and silently put Father Fang on his back in the minibus, making the passengers in the bus think that Cen Jiu was Father Fang's son, and kept talking about Fang's son. Dad is so lucky to have a filial son.

Fang Jing was so embarrassed.

When they arrived in the city, Aunt Fang called a car to pick them up.

Aunt Fang is a nurse who works in the hospital and took them to the hospital. Mother Fang pushed Father Fang to have an examination. Aunt Fang took Fang Jing to the doctor in charge of Father Fang to understand the situation.

"The condition of the patient's legs is recovering well, but Eun thinks that he is a bit burdened and has a bad mood, which has a great impact on his health." The doctor said, "At ordinary times, pay more attention to his mood improvement and try to comfort him as much as possible. He, let him maintain a cheerful mood, sometimes a person's mental outlook will become the most important factor affecting physical health."

"I know that." Fang Jing nodded.

Father Fang's behavior is mostly due to poor family conditions. As long as this problem is solved, he believes that Father Fang's situation will be much better.

"If conditions allow, it is best to equip the patient with a prosthesis. Although it will be a little hard work in the early stage, once the patient adapts to walking with the prosthesis, the patient can simply move about on his own, which will have great benefits for both physical recovery and mood. "

"I'm also thinking about this issue, but I can't find a suitable one for a while." Fang Jing said.

The doctor knew the situation of their family and recommended several types of prosthetics that were relatively common. Fang Jing kept all these materials and prepared to compare and select them carefully when he returned home.

In the ward, the nurse held her nose and cleaned up the sores on Father Fang's back, removed the carrion, and applied medicine.

"You family members don't care too much. The patient's back is starting to fester. His situation is special and the weather is so hot. Don't be afraid of trouble. You have to turn him over frequently, and you can't always lie on the bed. "The nurse said to Fang's mother as she tied the gauze on Fang's father.

Mother Fang nodded repeatedly. Seeing Father Fang's back festering like that, this strong woman's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

Aunt Fang stood outside the door and watched for a long time, then went out without saying a word.At noon, she called Fang Jing to the office, took out a bulging kraft paper bag from her bag, and stuffed it into Fang Jing's hand.

"It's really difficult for your father to be in a situation like this. Give him a prosthetic leg. When he can get down to the ground by himself, he can do some work within his ability, and your mother can relax a bit."

Fang Jing squeezed the thickness, at least 2 yuan.

Aunt Fang works in the hospital, and Uncle Fang is a high school teacher. Both of them have jobs and a stable income, but the burden on the family is also quite heavy. There are parents-in-law to support and a son who needs to go to college. I'm afraid they took out all the money they could move, and judging by Aunt Fang's attitude, I'm afraid Uncle Fang probably didn't know that Aunt Fang gave them the money secretly.

"Sister-in-law, you keep the money. I will find a way about the money." Fang Jing said, pushing the envelope back into Aunt Fang's hand.

"You can take it if I give it to you. Your second uncle is that kind of person. What else can you do." Aunt Fang complained, "He is not only your father, but also my brother. The whole family should not be so polite."

Aunt Fang is six years younger than Fang's father, and the two siblings have a very good relationship. Since Fang's father had an accident, she has often helped take care of Fang's father.

"Sister-in-law, I'm not being polite to you, I can really figure out a way." Fang Jing said, "And my uncle doesn't know the money."

Aunt Fang paused for a moment, then said casually: "This is my money, your uncle has nothing to do with it."

Fang Jing frowned. He had heard from Fang's mother that the relationship between Aunt Fang and Uncle Fang had not been very good in the past few years.

Even the money is now managed separately, I'm afraid the conflict between the two is quite big.

Someone knocked on the door and came in, and the sister-in-law said that a patient was looking for her.

Aunt Fang pushed the kraft paper bag into Fang Jing's hand and said, "Take it, I have to go to the ward, take good care of your father."

When transferring the account, Fang Jing didn't touch Aunt Fang's money, and settled the medical expenses by himself.When Mother Fang pushed Father Fang down, Fang Jing handed the kraft paper bag to Mother Fang and said, "My sister gave it to me."

Mother Fang opened the bag and took a look, then she understood. She opened her mouth for a long time before she said, "Your sister-in-law is really—"

Father Fang was also silent.

When people are in trouble, they can often see many people and things.

Compared with people outside, the people in the fishing village are still more traditional, and relatively patriarchal. Only sons can carry on the family line and inherit the incense, and daughters are the water that is thrown out. Sooner or later, they belong to other people's families.Compared with Aunt Fang who was destined to marry into someone else's family, Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang obviously valued each other's father and second uncle Fang more. What to buy.

But when Father Fang's accident happened, Second Uncle Fang, who had always been taken care of by Father Fang, slipped away faster than a rabbit. Aunt Fang, who had never been very close to them, would visit and take care of Father Fang from time to time.

Back in the town, Cen Jiu was still carrying Fang's father back to the fishing village, Fang Jing was carrying a wheelchair and following behind, Fang's mother was holding the kraft paper bag in her arms, with a silent expression on her face.

As soon as he got home, he saw a car with a Haicheng license plate parked in front of his house. Fang Jingzheng was puzzled. A child ran over and told him that someone was looking for him.

"Uncle Jing, at noon, someone came to the village in a car and said they were looking for you."

"Who is it?" Fang Jing was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly realized, could it be that Professor Lu is here?

It can't be so fast, I just called yesterday and arrived today?

He remembered that Professor Lu was always very busy, and was often invited by some antique collectors and auctions.

"What about them?"

"I saw the log you dragged up by the sea, and said it was ebony." The child asked curiously, "Uncle Jing, what is ebony?"

"Ebony is the wood buried in the soil." Fang Jing patted his head and said, "Thank you for coming to tell me, Uncle Jing treats you to ice cream."

Hearing that there was ice cream to eat, the child cheered happily.

Fang Jing gave him five yuan and asked him to buy his favorite ice cream. When he came to the beach, he saw a circle of people there.

An old man with silver hair and gold-rimmed glasses was discussing something with an old man in Tang suit and leaning on a cane. The expressions on their faces were very excited.

Fang Jing squeezed in and called out, "Professor Lu."

Professor Lu turned his head, saw Fang Jing, and smiled immediately: "Oh, Xiao Fang, you are back. Come on, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Qian. When I called you yesterday, he happened to be there too. Now, I know that you may have caught ebony, so I have to come and take a look at whatever you say."

"So it's Mr. Qian, welcome." Fang Jing had heard of Mr. Qian's name before. He is a well-known root carving master in China, but he seldom carves things by himself in recent years. It is said that he has plans to seal the knife.

Elder Qian leaned on a cane, and nodded respectfully to the other party.

"You are Lao Lu's favorite student. I often hear Lao Lu mentioning you. Young man, you are so lucky that you got such a big piece of golden nanmu. To be honest, I'm so jealous."

Really ebony!

Or the best golden ebony among ebony? !

Even though he was [-]% sure before, Fang Jing still couldn't help being ecstatic when he heard Mr. Qian affirmed it himself.

Jinshen ebony, in Fang Jing's eyes, it is directly equated with the coin symbol.

"That's right, look at the texture, it's brown with green, it's an extremely rare species, you're lucky." Professor Lu laughed.

"It's just good luck for a while." Fang Jing said modestly.

"Luck is also a kind of strength." Professor Lu said excitedly, "Let's go to your house and talk about it."

Fang Jing led them into the yard. When Fang's mother heard that it was her son's teacher coming, she quickly boiled water and brought out the best tea in the house as a treat.

Professor Lu sat under the grape trellis, nodded and said, "This place is nice, with outstanding people, serene and peaceful, it really feels like a paradise."

Qian Lao coughed, a little anxious, and winked at Professor Lu frequently.

Receiving the eager gaze of his old friend, Professor Lu coughed and asked tentatively, "Xiao Fang, what are your plans for this golden nanmu ebony?"

He still needs to rely on Professor Lu to introduce him to reliable buyers. Fang Jing didn't hide anything, and said directly: "Professor Lu, you also know the situation in my family. My father is not in good health, and my younger brother is in school and his grades are very good." , and was recommended by the school to go abroad as an exchange student next semester, I want to sell this ebony, the sooner the better."

"I bought it!" Qian Lao said immediately, "16 cubic meters, if you are satisfied, we can pay the price and deliver the goods now."
