The Cultivation of Rebirth

When we met again, Mr. Cheng really brought Li Rui a large bundle of rice paper.

Li Rui looked at the amount of rice paper that was much larger than what he gave out, and said in surprise: "Teacher, you gave too much, right?"

"Not much, not much." Mr. Cheng waved his hand, "The longer the rice paper is, the better it is. But rice paper is thin and expensive, easy to break, easy to damp, and easy to break. Your stack is old, and my bundle The year of my own collection is short, so it is more valuable for you to stack.”

Li Rui expressed that he was educated.

After Mr. Cheng gave the rice paper, he saw that Li Rui came to practice tonight with the high-quality rice paper and the old pit inkstone. He felt that this little student really didn’t seem to know anything about it. After hesitating for a long time, he still felt sorry for the paper. I am also worried about the inkstone.

As the saying goes, once acquainted, Mr. Cheng feels that he and Li Rui have become acquainted, so let me remind you.

Mr. Cheng took Li Rui to his office, closed the door, and said, "Li Rui, I want to ask, do you know anything about inkstones?"

Li Rui shook his head: "No."

Mr. Cheng had the bottom line in his heart, and said seriously: "You said last time that these things were prepared for you by your family, right? It seems that your family dotes on you very much, and they probably wouldn't tell you about some things. This inkstone of yours is the most valuable old pit Duan inkstone among the Duan inkstones, and it is probably an old object in terms of color. My senior brother has a similar one in his hand, and last time someone bought it from him, and he paid this price."

Mr. Cheng compared a number and whispered the unit.Then he said: "Do you think it would be better for you to keep this inkstone at home? There are people coming and going in the school, what if you lose it and knock it?"

Li Rui was also stunned.

All he knew was that Gu Huaidong had chosen good things for him, but he didn't expect that the good ones this time were so outrageous.

If he knew that this object was so valuable, he would definitely not take it out and use it so casually!

Li Rui had lingering fears: "Teacher, what you said is true. Thank you for telling me how precious it is. I really didn't know it before. I will take this inkstone home."

Seeing Li Rui's sincere answer, Mr. Cheng nodded in relief.Then there was a look of struggle on his face: "There is one more thing, this is the rice paper..."

When Li Rui first entered the door, he was going to report his answer about rice paper to Mr. Cheng.

He asked Gu Huaidong yesterday, and Gu Huaidong said that he bought some by himself and some from his uncle.He also said that what Mr. Cheng wanted was only a few dozen knives, and he could make decisions about such trivial matters. There was no need to ask his uncle or let the old man buy it himself.The shop where he sold his things was relatively cold, and the old man might run into a wall if he went by himself.

When Mr. Cheng heard Li Rui say that he could distribute the rice paper evenly for himself, his face was so excited that he blushed. He hurriedly put down what he was going to say, and asked, "You really can give me some."

After receiving Li Rui's affirmative answer, Mr. Cheng couldn't help rubbing his hands, and asked anxiously with an old face, "Well, how much can you give me? I'll give you [-]% more than the market price, will it work?"

In recent years, the prices of these good things have risen rapidly, and many people are waiting to stock up and refuse to sell them.

Mr. Cheng was buying things from the students again, and he was really ashamed to pay too low, for fear that others would say that he bullied the students and took advantage of the students.But the price is too high for him to explain to his wife.It's a dilemma.

Li Rui said: "My family said that it is okay to give a few dozen dollars. The teacher will give you the market price. I will ask the teacher more questions in the future."

Old Mr. Cheng couldn't hear what Li Rui was saying after that. He thought it would be good if he could get a few cuts this time, but he didn't expect Li Rui to pay dozens of dollars when he opened his mouth.

Mr. Cheng suspected that he had heard it wrong: "How many...dozens of dollars?" He stuttered a bit.

Li Rui recalled the amount of storage in the dormitory and apartment, and said, "Forty or fifty dollars is fine."

"No, it's not..." I didn't ask you how much the knife is!Mr. Cheng tried his best to suppress his urge to jump up from the chair, "Is it really possible?" He couldn't help but confirm again and again.

Li Rui answered patiently: "The teacher decides how much money you want, and tell me, and I will send it to the teacher's house when the time comes."

Mr. Cheng stroked his chest, feeling that he needed to calm down.

He pondered for a while, and indeed calmed down.

Because he can't eat so much rice paper by himself.

But he couldn't bear to give up the opportunity.After all, the opportunity never comes again.

Mr. Cheng discussed with Li Rui: "I'll go back and think about it first. Is it okay to give you a definite answer in two days?"

"No problem, teacher." Li Rui nodded.

After finishing what he needed to say, Li Rui was about to go back to the dormitory, so he bid farewell to Mr. Cheng.

Mr. Cheng was already immersed in his own thoughts, and nodded indiscriminately.

Li Ruidu walked out the door with his schoolbag and a large bundle of rice paper in his arms, only then did he realize that there was one thing he hadn't said, so he called someone to stop him.

Li Rui walked back and asked, "Is there anything else, teacher?

"Li Rui, although you have a lot of paper at home, at this stage, the rice paper I gave you is suitable for practice, don't you understand?" Based on his love for good paper, Mr. Cheng couldn't bear it. Stopped talking.

Although he now knows that Li Rui's family can give away tens of dollars of rice paper casually, which shows that there is no shortage of good paper in his family, and he has the confidence to use this year's good paper as practice paper, but Mr. Cheng still stands for him. Li Rui felt wasted and distressed.

After all, rice paper is quick to use but slow to save.

This is the second time that Mr. Cheng has mentioned that his own paper is more suitable for practice paper. Li Rui can feel the old man's love for good paper, and nodded: "I will use the one given by the teacher from tomorrow on." Practiced on paper."

He realized yesterday that the rice paper he used was probably quite precious, so he told Gu Huaidong to change the paper.

In the end, Gu Huaidong said: "Didn't the old man say that he would send paper to you? It's only a day away. There's no need to buy new paper yourself."

After hearing this, Li Rui thought it made sense, so he didn't ask again, so he continued to bring the original paper over today.

After careful consideration, Mr. Cheng decided that in addition to applying for funding from his wife, he would go to visit one or two of his best friends tomorrow, and he could also bring in two more senior brothers.

On the other side, Li Rui walked to the place yesterday, and sure enough, he saw Gu Huaidong again.

Li Rui handed the rice paper he was holding to Gu Huaidong, stretched out his hand to poke Gu Huaidong's arm, and asked, "About the inkstone I use, do you have anything to explain?"

"Explain what?" Gu Huaidong was puzzled.

Li Rui thought that Gu Huaidong was putting on a show, and was a little angry: "You said that the inkstone was bought for dozens of dollars, but I heard someone say that at night, the price of the inkstone had to be followed by several zeros. You are a big liar."

Gu Huaidong felt wronged: "I didn't lie to you, the inkstone was collected for tens of dollars. Didn't you find out that the inkstones we both use are a pair? I told people to find a pair of inkstones before, and my uncle knew about it." , let me go to him to pick. I picked the worst pair. Uncle said that the owner who sold inkstones at that time quoted a price of [-], and he finally bought a pair for [-]."

Although this tens is many years ago, even if it is converted into the current price, it is still a profit for their family.

Li Rui looked at Gu Huaidong suspiciously.

Gu Huaidong was very sad, but the explanation is important.He leaned close to Li Rui and whispered: "What I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask uncle. Let me tell you one more thing secretly. Uncle still has a lot of good things collected at low prices. A few days ago In the countryside, these things are almost sold as garbage, so you understand?"

Gu Huaidong's breath made Li Rui's ears itchy, and even his thinking slowed down.

After a while, Li Rui stretched out his hand and pushed Gu Huaidong's head away: "...Understood"

Gu Huaidong was not annoyed, he acted like my wife was smart, and said: "Ruirui, you think it's inappropriate to use these words in school, we don't need them, I'll ask someone to take these things back to the apartment tomorrow, and send a new one." Ordinary."

The ancients said that wealth should not be exposed, Rarity's low-key awareness is really great!

Li Rui was silent for a while, then said: "I think our understanding of ordinary may... be different?"

-

Mr. Cheng and Li Rui said they wanted to think about it for two days, but in fact they gave Li Rui an accurate answer after only one day.

The final number settled was $46.

Li Rui wrote it down and made an appointment with Mr. Cheng to deliver it to his door.

On the day of delivering the paper, Gu Huaidong brought a subordinate over to help Li Rui carry the paper.

46 knives of paper, filled with two boxes of the boss.

Mr. Cheng sat impatiently in the living room and waited early in the morning.Whenever he heard footsteps in the corridor, he wanted to go to the door to see if Li Rui had come.

Seeing this, Mrs. Cheng took a long time to preach: "Take a good look at the alarm clock. How long is it before your appointment with someone! There are still two hours."

Mr. Cheng was speechless, and finally he was able to sit on the sofa honestly.

He waited and waited, and before Li Rui arrived, two old men were ushered in.

Mr. Cheng had asked his senior brother and best friend to buy paper with others, and told them to come over to share after the purchase was finished. Unexpectedly, two of them couldn't help but come here ahead of time.

Now that Mr. Cheng had someone to divert his attention from, he asked his senior brother and his friends: "Didn't it be agreed that I would call you over to share it later? Why are you here now? Why are you so impatient and unable to hold your breath?"

The senior brother rolled his eyes at him: "You've got it. In terms of impatience, who among us is better than you? Tell me, how long have you been sitting on this sofa."

"I just sat down." Mr. Cheng replied.

Mrs. Cheng made trouble at the side: "He just sat down. I got up early in the morning and went to the living room to wait. I saw him sitting up and sitting up. Those who didn't know thought that there was something growing on our sofa. Where are the nails?"

Mr. Cheng's old friend laughed out loud.

So when Li Rui came to deliver the paper, he saw three little old men as soon as he entered the door.

Why are there so many people all of a sudden?This is, have you caught up with the teacher to treat guests?

Mr. Cheng coughed lightly and introduced the two parties.

The subordinate who helped took the box to the door and put it down before going back.

Gu Huaidong was very strong, and he didn't want Li Rui to intervene. He moved all the boxes into the house in two rounds by himself.

When Li Rui introduced Gu Huaidong to outsiders, he still said he was his elder brother.

Mrs. Cheng invited guests to eat fruit and drink tea.

The small living room suddenly seemed crowded.There was not room for everyone on the sofa, and two chairs were moved from the kitchen.

When Gu Huaidong was drinking tea, Mr. Cheng's brother couldn't help but look at him a few more times, thinking that he had a kind face.

In fact, Gu Huaidong secretly looked at the three old gentlemen, and was quite surprised after seeing them.

There are four elders in the room, each of whom is a big cow in the world of literature and art.

After drinking tea, Li Rui opened the box under the eager eyes of the old gentlemen.

The old gentlemen gathered around.

Each piece of rice paper in the box is sealed and wrapped with oiled paper.

Several old gentlemen took a long time to count and look at each other.

At this time, Mr. Cheng is glad that his brother and friends came today uninvited.

The rice paper that Li Rui sent over today is not only the one he used last time, but also older and better graded, and one sprinkled with gold.This time the original price was significantly lower.

Mr. Cheng's senior brother spoke first: "The original price is lower, please set a new price."

Li Rui and Gu Huaidong looked at each other, and Gu Huaidong replied: "There is no need to re-price, in fact, the price is already profitable compared to what we paid for it."

Mr. Cheng's friend shook his head: "No way. The market price when you bought it is different from the current market price, two different things."

Gu Huaidong smiled: "Actually, the price was set by the elders in our family. They also want to use this to ask Mr. Cheng for a favor."

It is reasonable for Gu Huaidong to say this.

Mr. Cheng asked, "What's the matter?" He was self-aware, and would never agree to something he couldn't help

"Mr. Cheng is an old man in University B. We hope you can help take care of Li Rui more in the future."

Mr. Cheng has been getting to know Li Rui for the past two days. This kid has very good grades in school, and he has such a wealthy family. He really can't think of how he can help.Even though he is very prestigious among the senior professors in B University.

Besides, Li Rui is not their professional.

Mr. Cheng felt that the deal was unfair and he deserved it.

But Gu Huaidong and Li Rui looked sincere again.

In the end, it was Mr. Cheng's senior brother who made the decision: "How about this, junior brother, you promise to come down. I still have a nice string of red sandalwood beads, and I will add them to my head when the time comes."

Mr. Cheng's brother turned to look at his friend again: "What do you think?"

The friend pondered for a while, and said: "I will also choose a second painting as an addition. The painting skills are clumsy, and I hope the two friends will not be disgusted."

Of course Gu Huaidong and Li Rui couldn't disagree.

It was Li Rui's wish to make the paper in the first place.

As for Gu Huaidong, with two boxes of rice paper, he won the happiness of Li Rui, the friendship of the three old gentlemen, and the unexpected joy, so he has nothing to be dissatisfied with.

On the contrary, Gu Huaidong thought that Li Rui was really a lucky star.

On the way home, Gu Huaidong said happily, "We made a lot of money this time."

A question mark appeared on Li Rui's forehead.

Gu Huaidong is doing science popularization for Li Rui. Mr. Cheng's brother is quite famous in the literary and entertainment circle, and that friend is also a master of painting.

What Gu Huaidong didn't tell Li Rui was that in a few years, that senior brother would be a master of Wenwan stamped by CCTV, and master Danqing would later become a master of Danqing. It is a rare work that can be sold at a high price overseas. contemporary painter.
