gentle city

Although Qinghe's Z University is only half an hour's drive away from home, Qinghe still lives in the school dormitory most of the time.

He made this choice because he felt that his family always felt that he was such a fragile creature, and they were afraid that he would have even a little bump, as if he could not survive without home.

This is of course because the family loves him very much and wants to protect him, but Qinghe feels that he is not so fragile, he is a man, he can hold up his own sky, and he does not need his family to worry, he can live a good life of.

Therefore, he has resolutely lived in the school dormitory since his freshman year.

He didn't go home unless it was the weekend or when he had to go home.

And he never let the driver at home pick him up, every time he takes a taxi or takes the subway bus by himself.

At first, both father and brother were worried, but after seeing that he quickly adapted to the life in the dormitory of the school, and his ability to live is also very good, they were relieved.

Qinghe said in his heart that his brother was only 16 years old when he went abroad to study, so he was fine. The family members were even relieved that he would go to study and go to work as an intern by himself, but no one said anything.And he just started to go to university, and it was still a university in front of his house, why his family members were so worried.

Is this the so-called Yaoer?

But Qinghe actually doesn't want his family to treat him as someone who needs to take care of everything. He can stand on his own, take care of others, and help others. That's what he thinks.

One month later, Qinghe got the jade carving from Uncle Gui. Uncle Gui is indeed a master. After Qinghe got the finished product, he felt that Uncle Gui charged him 12 yuan for the carving, which was really cheap.He gave Uncle Gui a red envelope of six thousand six hundred and sixty-six for him, but Uncle Gui refused to accept it, so Qinghe just put it on the tea table.

Uncle Gui is not considered a top jade carving master, but his craftsmanship is by no means inferior to those of the most famous jade carvings, it's just that he is not famous enough.

There was a bit of white jade leftovers cut from the side of the lotus, and he carved a small blessing bean himself, punched a hole in it, and he also packed this in a box to Qinghe: "It's good to give it to someone."

Qinghe originally wanted to keep it for Uncle Gui, but Uncle Gui didn't want it, so Qinghe took it, looked at the lucky bean, and thought that he could hang it on the key for his brother.

After Qinghe got the carving, he returned to City Z and contacted Cao Feng to give him the carving.

Cao Feng was on a business trip in Canada, and after seeing the pictures from various angles that Qinghe sent him, he said to him: "Let's put it there first, I'll talk about it when I go back."

Then asked: "How much is this carving, I will transfer it to you."

Qing He said: "Then I'll lock it in the safe first. I'll pay you the jade price for this carving, plus design fees and carving fees, 120 million."

Cao Feng laughed after hearing this.

He and Qinghe are having a video call on the computer. When he smiles, Qinghe can see it.

Cao Feng looks four or five years older than his brother. Now he is 28 and nine years old, and he is not working. Qinghe thinks that he is much more ostentatious than his brother. When he becomes gloomy, he looks a little fierce. Qinghe still likes his brother like that However, for Cao Feng's overly flamboyant leadership style, he doesn't like to get too close.

After Cao Feng finished laughing, he said, "If you sell it to me at this price, are you going to do business after all? What a kid, you don't have any business acumen."

Qinghe could only pursed his lips and smiled.

Qinghe's facial features look like his biological father's, and there is nothing that is not standard and good-looking, but his facial features are more three-dimensional and delicate than his biological father's. In short, he is very attractive.

Cao Feng looked at him through the video, thinking in his heart, no wonder Feng Zhou cherishes his younger brother so much.

He said: "At your price, the carving fee is more than that. Last time I asked a master to carve something, and he charged me [-] grams. Of course I am happy if you give me a low price, but I am I can't let you work for nothing, okay, okay, you can do the math again."

Qinghe said: "550 yuan per gram, that's the price of a national master, and the design fee is included in it. This one is not that expensive. Besides, you are my brother's friend, so I don't want to charge too much."

Cao Feng said: "How can you do business like this, let your brother teach you."

Qinghe felt uncomfortable at what he said, and blushed a little.

Just when Cao Feng called, he said, "Then when I go back, I'll let someone estimate the price, and then I'll give you the money. I'll answer the phone first, and that's it."

Qinghe was hung up on the video by him, so he also closed the video page and went to watch the jade carving again.As Guixiang said, the lower part of one side of the jade is already close to the quality of mutton fat jade. It is white, greasy, moist and free of impurities, and there is a little green on the other side, but the green is just right, which is very gratifying.In addition, Uncle Gui's carving is indeed very good, the stamens in the lotus and the sides of the lotus pod are all there, and the face of the little boy inside is also very vivid.If this work participates in the jade carving competition, I am afraid it will be able to win the prize.

Cao Feng is not the second generation ancestor who is completely ignorant. This carving is of high quality jade, the design is wonderful, and the carving is excellent. It is indeed rare to see it. The price of the carving is [-] grams. He is not talking nonsense. .

However, it is said that gold has a price and jade is priceless, which makes the price of the jade industry very confusing, almost completely relying on people's mouths.

Qinghe didn't intend to burn Cao Feng on this, the reason was that Cao Feng was his brother's friend, and he felt that Cao Feng was a bit pitiful.Cao Feng is a big old man, and he is very rough. If he knows that Qinghe pities him, he will probably turn his face to Qinghe.

Cao Feng said that he would talk about the price when he came back, so Qinghe was not in a hurry.Besides, at the end of the term, he was so busy that he spent every day in the library, not even going home on weekends.

However, his two fathers were seldom at home, and his elder brother was always on business trips, so it wasn't interesting for him to go home, so he might as well be at school.

Qinghe finally finished the last test. After handing in the paper, he lay on the desk almost collapsed. His roommate Shi Hao took the schoolbag for him from the podium in front of him, handed it to his desk, and said, "Let's go, let's go, Do you still want to take another exam here?"

Qinghe quickly jumped up, put his schoolbag on his back, and said with a bitter face, "I don't want to take the exam anymore. I'm really dying. You still have to prepare for the judicial exam. It's too pitiful."

"You don't take the exam?" Shi Hao raised an eyebrow at him, and a few girls in the same class looked at them and smiled, and asked, "How did you do in the exam? Hey, it will be miserable if you fail the exam, and you will have to make up the exam next semester."

Qinghe said: "I will never engage in legal work in the future. I will not take the judicial examination. It is really not a human examination. Don't talk about failing a course at this time. It's summer vacation. It's better to think about happy things." gone."

Girls love to find out and talk, "Then what job are you looking for in the future?"

Qing He said, "I'm ready to start my own business."

People around said: "What do you do to start a business? Are you short of employees? Hire me."

Qinghe looked at the person, and immediately shook his head: "You are such a top student, when I look at you, I think how painful my exam is. I can't afford you at all, okay? You can become a barrister yourself."

A group of people were going outside in a row. They had just finished their exams and it was just before ten o'clock. Everyone made an appointment to go out to eat hot pot. After eating the hot pot, they could leave. In school, there are also people who have to go out and travel.

Qinghe also said that he was going to eat hot pot, and made an appointment to meet at eleven o'clock.

Walking to the door of the dormitory, a voice suddenly called him: "Qinghe."

Qinghe was being hugged by Shi Hao's shoulders, and he turned his head awkwardly and looked to the side, then he happily threw Shi Hao's arm away, and ran over there, "Brother, why are you here?"

There were several boys with Qinghe, and everyone looked over. Feng Zhou often came to school to give Qinghe things or pick him up. Several people knew Qinghe's rich and handsome brother.

Some people who were not familiar with Feng Zhou went into the dormitory, and those who knew him came to say hello.

Feng Zhou drove a very popular Volvo business car. Standing beside the car, he was tall and long-legged, wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, with a gentle smile, and the car seemed to be a few grades higher because of him.

Feng Zhou was not happy that Shi Hao put his arms around Qinghe's shoulders before, that kind of intimacy made Feng Zhou feel uncomfortable.However, when Shi Hao greeted him, he still returned him very kindly, and said that it was thanks to him for taking care of him.

Feng Zhou said: "You told me that you finished the exam today, and I wanted to pick you up. I called you, but you turned off your phone and sent you a text message. Didn't you check your phone at all?"

"Ah, I forgot to turn off the phone for the exam." Qinghe quickly took out his phone from his schoolbag and turned it on.

He said apologetically to his roommate: "I can't have hot pot with you today, I'm going home."

Shi Hao said: "Brother Feng Zhou, let's go eat hot pot together. Anyway, there are so many people."

Qinghe looked at Feng Zhou, Feng Zhou saw that there was hope in his eyes, so he nodded, "Okay."

Feng Zhou went to Qinghe's dormitory to pack his things for him.

Qinghe and the others are in a quadruple room, with a bed above and a wardrobe and desk underneath, and Qinghe's bed is next to the window.Shi Hao was on the bed opposite him, and the other two in the room majored in ancient Chinese and had already finished their exams and returned home early.

Qinghe has the most books, but not many clothes.

The school conducts spot checks on sanitation every three days, and the Qinghe dormitory is also relatively clean, without any mess.

Putting his things into the box, Feng Zhou was tall, and stood below to make Qinghe's bed. Qinghe was bringing mineral water to Feng Zhou. Seeing him making his own bed, he hurried to hug his bed. Arm, "Brother, come, you drink water, I will make the bed myself."

Feng Zhou glanced at him, took the water, and Shi Hao was also packing up his things, he laughed and said, "Qinghe, what shameful things are you hiding on the bed."

Qinghe didn't respond to him, climbed onto the bed in twos and twos, rolled up the sheets on the bed and threw them on the floor, removed the pillows, wrapped the two books on the bed with pillowcases, and then got out of bed.

Feng Zhou couldn't help but glanced at the book he covered, but didn't ask.

It was almost eleven o'clock when I packed up my things.

There are 35 people in Qinghe's class, and 17 people went to the hot pot dinner, including Feng Zhou, exactly 18 people.

Feng Zhou didn't talk much, but his aura was strong. The people at the three tables, because he was there, even spoke in a low voice, and there were girls who kept looking at him. After being caught by the boys, she said openly: "What's the matter, Qinghe's brother is indeed handsome and has a good temperament. He doesn't look like you."

Qinghe turned his head to look at Feng Zhou beside him, Feng Zhou smiled and said nothing, as if he just regarded the words of this group of people as a fight between children, and didn't take it to heart at all.

They didn't leave until one o'clock. Feng Zhou went to pay the bill. Everyone asked for AA system, but he didn't want it. He said, "I'm your big brother, it should be."

On the way home, Feng Zhou was driving, Qinghe ate too much, and was so hot that his whole body became weak, and he dozed off in the passenger seat.

Feng Zhou said, "Do you often have dinner together?"

Qinghe said: "No, not a few times in a semester."

Seeing that Feng Zhou had no expression on his face, he asked, "Brother, everyone was joking before, so you're not angry, are you?"

"Well, what?" Feng Zhou was a little puzzled.

"It's because they coaxed Liao Qi to watch you."

"Well, I'm not angry, how could I be angry." He said, and made a joke with Qinghe, "Don't you think I'm handsome?"

Qinghe laughed and said, "Yes. I think so too."

Feng Zhou reached out and touched his forehead lightly, "Look, your face is flushed from eating, you have a weak stomach, eat less hot pot."

Qinghe smiled, "I know, I know."

After returning home and taking a shower, he climbed into bed to catch up on sleep. When he woke up, he found that his suitcase had not been collected, and Feng Zhou had brought everything in for him.

Qinghe came to his senses in the bathroom, and quickly ran to find his own things. The nanny had already washed all the things that needed to be washed. The books were all on his desk, and other things were also there, but he didn't wrap them in pillowcases. The two books I live in are gone.I asked the auntie nanny, and the other party said that when Feng Zhou gave her the things to wash, there were no books in them.

Qinghe had no choice but to run to find Feng Zhou. Feng Zhou was talking on the phone in the study. Immediately asked: "Brother, where are the two books I wrapped in the pillowcase?"

Feng Zhou pointed to the side of the desk, and Qinghe saw that it was indeed his book, so he quickly picked it up, and Feng Zhou asked, "What are you reading this book for?"
