Several times in dreams

Chapter 77
"Cousin?" Meng Xianlun couldn't believe that he could meet Qin Haichuan here.

It's a long story. In the year when the devils surrendered, a lot of waste was waiting to be done. The grocery store of Qin and his son also cleaned up and reopened.

On this day, Qin Haichuan had just returned from purchasing goods, and the father and son were busy registering and displaying goods, when two customers came to the store.

Qin Haichuan quickly put down his work, wiped his hands and came over to say hello. These two people were not from the local area at first glance, and one of them was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and he had an extraordinary appearance.

The other was wearing a long gown and top hat, like a follower.

"Boss Zhang, there are many small shops like this in the Holy City, so let's stop looking. There are still many things to do today."

Seeing that Boss Zhang was staying inside, the entourage was a little impatient, and looked at the boss's face and suggested.

"I don't know what this customer wants to buy. Our store is small and the things are messy. You tell me, and I will help you find it."

As soon as Qin Haichuan opened his mouth, his voice was thick and deep, and his voice was extremely charming. Although he had a little accent, the flaws were not hidden. Boss Zhang was taken aback, and immediately looked at him.

"Your voice is very special and can move people very much."

"Boss, you praised me."

Qin Haichuan was a little embarrassed.

"I want to buy that kind of stone garlic mortar, preferably the one with exquisite carvings."

In fact, every grocery store has such things as garlic mortar, but most of them are rough in workmanship and have no aesthetic feeling at all. Boss Zhang went to many stores and returned disappointed every time.

Qin Haichuan smiled, "Boss, you really came to the right place. The goods in my house are different from those in other houses."

After all, I took out two garlic mortars from the cupboard under the shelf.

When Boss Zhang saw it, it was exactly what he was looking for!
It turned out that Boss Zhang's grandmother was originally from the holy city. After she got married, her family moved to the south. Among the accompanying objects was a lapis lazuli garlic mortar.

I have been using it for more than 50 years, and the things in my hometown are sentimental and easy to use.

I didn't expect to eat dumplings during Chinese New Year one winter, the servant accidentally broke it when smashing the garlic, and the old lady didn't eat the dumplings that were distressed.

There was nowhere to find anything similar to it in the chaos of war. From then on, it became a concern.

The little devil surrendered, and Boss Zhang thought about finding a similar old thing from Shandong for his grandmother to make her happy.

Coincidentally, there was a business to discuss, passing through the Holy City, Boss Zhang decided to visit his grandmother's hometown.

I searched many shops, but none of them were similar to my grandmother's. Seeing that it's time to discuss business, how can I not make people anxious?
"Why do you have this kind of garlic mortar in your house?"

"Boss, in fact, my family used to buy the same goods as other houses, ordinary stone mortar."

Qin Haichuan introduced his products seriously, "I went to Jiaxiang to buy goods this year, and found that the stone carvings there are very exquisite, especially small objects like garlic mortar, with various patterns. Although they are household objects, most people don't pay much attention to them. But I thought there would always be someone who was particular about it, so I brought two back."

"Look, this stone is lapis lazuli, which is resistant to weathering and can carve very fine patterns. It is said that it was a tribute to the court from the government of all dynasties."

"Look again, this style is called lotus carp. The whole mortar body is patterned with layers of lotus patterns. The handle is a jumping carp. The mortar hammer is carved into a lotus pod pattern, which is very exquisite."

"The other one is even more majestic. It is carved into the pattern of an incense burner. The entire surface of the mortar body is decorated with exquisite cloud patterns. There are two green dragons on both sides, which are lifelike. This was a top-grade tribute in the past. Your old lady will definitely like it very much." of."

"Oh, this young man really knows how to do business!"

Boss Zhang said in his heart that he had a hard time sizing up Qin Haichuan, but at the age of 28 or [-], young people in a small county town speak neither humble nor overbearing, and are clearly organized. The key is that the voice is very likable.

Boss Zhang immediately took a fancy to Qin Haichuan, and said that he would have a good talk with him when he came back from the provincial capital.

Three days later, Boss Zhang returned to the holy city as promised. He invited Qin Haichuan to Shanghai to be his assistant and teach him how to do business. He felt that Qin Haichuan was a rare and good material.

At that time, Haichuan refused. He felt that his parents were too old and he was the only child. His younger sister was never married and still lived at home.

No matter what he said, he couldn't leave the holy city, not to mention that the Miao family had already given birth to two sons for him.

Boss Zhang pondered for a while, and offered more generous terms, promising to take Miao and his two children to Shanghai.

As for Qin Shijie and Meng Zhaoqin, they should be in their early fifties, not yet the age to be taken care of. Besides, Qin Haiyan is still taking care of their parents at home, so there is nothing to worry about.

If Hai Chuan does well in Shanghai, he can take his parents to Shanghai after a while.

Boss Zhang asked Haichuan to discuss with his family, and he could reply in three days.

What Qin Haichuan didn't expect was that the whole family, except Meng Zhaoqin, supported him to go to Shanghai very much.

Especially his father, Qin Shijie, patted his chest and said that he was still very strong and capable of taking care of Meng Zhaoqin and Qin Haiyan's mother and daughter, so that Haichuan could go to Shanghai with peace of mind.

"Hai Chuan, you are still young, you have such a good opportunity, learn a lot from Boss Zhang, you must be better than Dad!"

Qin Shijie patted Haichuan on the shoulder, encouraging him to take this step bravely.

Now that the matter has come to this point, even if Meng Zhaoqin is a little worried, he can't object.

In this way, Qin Haichuan brought his wife and children and his family of four came to Shanghai.

In the past three years, Haichuan has made rapid progress. He was already smart and good at learning, but he lost the accent of the holy city after a short time.

"Xianlun, this is just one of Boss Zhang's many businesses. I am in charge here now, and my salary is very high. Your cousin and sister-in-law are at home to take care of their two children."

After get off work, Qin Haichuan invited Meng Xianlun to sit at home, and the two chatted over tea.

"Didn't my aunt and uncle come to live with me?" Meng Xianlun asked.

"I picked them up to live with them within a few months. At first, my parents were not used to life and the taste here, so they insisted on going back, but now they are gradually getting used to it."

"Because Haiyan has never remarried, it is not convenient to live together. Your cousin bought another house for them. It is very close to here, and it is convenient for them to take care of each other."

Mrs. Miao continued to serve Meng Xianlun tea with a smile.

"Cousin, you are really developed now." Meng Xianlun praised sincerely.

"What am I? Look at Boss Zhang's family business! I'm a senior manager."

Another day, Meng Xianlun made a special trip to visit his aunt's family with a gift. The past few years have been going smoothly, but Meng Zhaoqin seems more energetic and younger than the previous years.

Qin Shijie boasted of the decisions he had made back then and supported Haichuan to venture out, quite complacently.

"Your uncle, you can't be idle. Your cousin picked us up to enjoy the blessings. As a result, this old man opened a small noodle stall at the entrance of the alley. He didn't earn much every day, just a vegetable money. He said it with a picture. It's boring."

After Meng Zhaoqin finished speaking, the whole family laughed.

Meng Xianlun also talked about the situation at home.

It turned out that Meng Zhaoqin didn't know that her elder brother Meng Zhaoxuan had passed away. When the person who delivered the letter went to the Qin's family to report the letter, the Qin family had already moved to Shanghai, and the news was cut off after that.

At that moment, Meng Zhaoqin kowtowed in the direction of the holy city to express his condolences. The whole family cried aloud, lamenting that the world is impermanent, and only each of them cherishes it.

Feeling sad, Meng Xianlun returned to the dormitory and made a major decision.

He must go back to the holy city!
