The Immortal Road of Rebirth

Chapter 23 The first goal

The simple and warm Zhou Catch Ceremony on the first birthday has ended, but the influence on Xiaoxiao is still continuing.

Looked at the ticking red dressing box in her arms (yes, in her arms. Ever since she caught the box, Xiaoxiao refused to put it down, and if she took it away forcibly, it would make her cry. Therefore, Ye Grandma made the decision, Xiaoxiao took control of the box), Xiaoxiao couldn't help but close her eyes and sense the breath from the box with her soul.

Vicissitudes, heavy breath; comfortable and cordial resonance;

Thoughts sink in slowly, feeling more:

The soul seems to be caught in the river of time, sharing the experience of the box.It was born after the painstaking efforts of the master; it was cherished as a gift to the lady in the middle of the boudoir; the lady was getting old, and the box was passed on to her descendants; after the ups and downs and wars, the box was getting old, so It has become more precious through the changes of time.

Xiaoxiao can't feel the specific picture, but can feel the time and the mood of the box.

If the box can talk, it will definitely tell a moving story that is not only magnificent, ups and downs, but also lingering and deep-seated—if the box can talk!

The breath of the box has already made Xiaoxiao intoxicated, and its appearance is equally good:
The solemn and bright red that you will never get tired of, the exquisitely carved patterns, gently touching it, and the smooth and delicate texture under the hand.

I think of the masters with superb craftsmanship told by my grandfather, I think of my grandfather's heartache for the loss of traditional skills, and I think of my grandfather's regret for not being a collector.

"I found my first target, an antique collection. Seems pretty good."

Xiaoxiao thought so.

People will learn many things consciously or unconsciously throughout their life, but they can be roughly divided into the following categories according to their purposes:

First, survival skills.Small enough to eat and walk, big enough to study, and then to work.In order for human beings to survive, food, clothing, housing and transportation are unavoidable needs no matter what.For most of us who need to be self-reliant, in order to obtain survival resources, we have to do jobs we like or don't like.Don't you see, how many people have studied hard for more than ten years, just for a job that can support their families, and have to bow their heads and bow their heads to serve the powerful.

Second, artsy skills for social approval.For example, many people learn foreign languages, calligraphy, and piano.It's not about hobbies, but to show that you are different, have noble tastes, and so on.

Third, hobbies.Learn because of love, and invest because of obsession.When the needs of survival and social interaction are met, people begin to pursue self-satisfaction.Everyone's hobbies are different, elegant or vulgar, traditional or fashionable, but for the individual, it is the most important.Just as a gambler regards the dice in his hand as a treasure, a painter regards the brush in his hand as his life, there is no difference.

After confirming her first hobby - antique collection, Xiaoxiao inevitably thought of her study career and career plan.

Let Xiaoxiao go through kindergarten, elementary school, middle school and university like ordinary people. For her, it is tantamount to slow suicide.In her previous life, Xiaoxiao was a good student all the way, successfully promoted to a famous school, and then entered a famous company.Now that he has such a prominent family background, how could he be willing to suffer like this again.Kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school - Xiaoxiao decisively passed.High school is to be determined, and college is definitely still to be attended.

The financial work I was engaged in in my previous life was just Xiaoxiao’s means of earning a living, and it really had nothing to do with my hobbies.So Xiaoxiao is still a little confused about what to do in the future.Maybe you can consider antique identification, but after thinking about it again, Xiaoxiao gave up again.Antique collection is just my first hobby, and I don't know what to do in the future.

Let's decide later, anyway, the time is still long, isn't it?
