It was boring to sit there. Jiang Zhen saw a dirty little rooster on the tea table and thought that the old man also had moments of laziness, as he didn't even wash the rooster even though it was so dirty.
Jiang Zhen wanted to show his diligent side, so he picked up the little thing and used a small brush to scrub it vigorously...
Jiang Zhen spent more than ten minutes and finally washed the dirty little rooster back to its original color, revealing a brand new purple clay color.
Jiang Zhen had just put down the little rooster when Han Yueyun walked in, stood beside the screen, and said to him, "Xiao Jiang, it's time for lunch."
"Okay, I'll come."
Jiang Zhen was about to stand up when he suddenly heard Han Yueyun say, "That..."
"Hmm?" Jiang Zhen stopped and didn't know whether to get up or not.
He saw Han Yueyun staring at something on the tea table with a strange expression on his face. Suspecting that he had broken something, he quickly lowered his head to look.
Seeing that everything on the table was still intact and undamaged, Jiang Zhen couldn't help but feel a little confused. "What's wrong, Uncle Han?"
Han Yueyun looked at the clean little rooster, then looked at Jiang Zhen, who had an innocent and cautious expression, and suddenly he couldn't bear to tell the truth.
He pointed to the little rooster on the table and told Jiang Zhen: "This rooster is my father's favorite tea pet. It was a gift from my mother for his 60th birthday."
That's been going on for some time.
Jiang Zhen didn't know what tea pets were, nor did he know that tea artists all had the habit of raising tea pets. Naturally, he didn't understand that tea pets were irrigated with tea, and the more tea they drank, the darker their color became.
Therefore, the older the tea pet looks, the more it is loved by its owner.
When Jiang Zhen heard Han Yueyun's words, he said foolishly, "So this is a gift that grandma gave to grandpa for his 60th birthday. I was wondering why it looked a bit dirty and old. It turns out it's been there for so many years."
Han Yueyun: "..."
"Um."
"Let's eat."
Jiang Zhen went out to eat with Han Yueyun.
The atmosphere at the lunch table was quite harmonious. The Han family did not ask too much about Jiang Zhen's family situation, but only asked about his age and work.
The real highlight is at night.
So Jiang Zhen felt uneasy about the coming night throughout the afternoon.
In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, and everyone has the habit of taking a short nap. Jiang Zhen's room was arranged next to Han Wangwang's.
He didn't sleep well last night and fell asleep soon after lying down.
When he woke up, Jiang Zhen went to the next room and saw that Han Wangwang was not in the room. He then went downstairs while sending a WeChat message to Han Wangwang.
Just as he sent the WeChat message, he saw Han Wangwang walking up from downstairs with a strange look on his face.
"Are you here to wake me up?" Jiang Zhen woke up at four o'clock in the afternoon. He thought Han Wangwang came upstairs to wake him up.
Han Wangwang took his hand and returned to Jiang Zhen's room with a strange expression.
After closing the door, Han Wangwang pressed Jiang Zhen against the door panel and said to him seriously, "Jiang Zhen, you're in trouble."
Jiang Zhen showed a confused expression.
"Did I oversleep and your family dislike me for being immature?" Other than that, Jiang Zhen really couldn't think of what he had done wrong.
Han Wangwang held Jiang Zhen's cheeks with both hands and told him, "Did you clean my grandfather's tea pet today?"
Jiang Zhen nodded, "Well, I thought the little rooster was so dirty that I couldn't bear to look at it, so I wiped it off." Jiang Zhen was a bit of a germaphobe and he couldn't stand seeing dirty things.
Han Wangwang slapped his forehead and sighed, "You've made a huge mistake! My grandfather used the finest tea to raise that tea pet for five or six years to bring it to its current beauty. And yet, you've already wiped out his precious love the moment you arrived."
This is really a return to the pre-liberation era.
After listening to Han Wangwang's words and thinking about what Han Yueyun said to him before the meal, Jiang Zhen realized that he had really made a mistake.
He quickly took out his cell phone and searched on Baidu for "tea pet". After understanding what a tea pet was, Jiang Zhen realized how stupid and ridiculous he had been.
His expression suddenly became pitiful, "Wangwang, what should I do? Is your grandpa angry?"
Han Wangwang rolled his eyes at him and said, "What do you think?"
This mistake was made, and Jiang Zhen couldn't find a way to remedy it.
When he went downstairs with Han Wangwang, the old man was sitting on the armchair playing with his little rooster. When he saw him coming down, he immediately gave him a look that said he was more likely to cause trouble than to help.
Jiang Zhen walked over and sat down next to the old man. He sat down honestly and admitted his mistake in a good manner, "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I caused you trouble."
Han Dongliang wanted to tease him, but when he saw him acting like a good kid, he got furious.
It is impossible to forgive, never in this life.
Jiang Zhen's eyes rolled slightly, and thinking that old people are soft-hearted, he decided to pretend to be pitiful.
He rubbed his hands on the fabric of his trousers and whispered, "They say my mother used to be a very talented tea artist. She learned tea art from a Taoist priest at the age of twelve. Back then, she often performed in teahouses."
Hearing this, Han Dongliang gave Jiang Zhen an indescribable look and said, "You inherited your mother's good looks, but why didn't you inherit her good craftsmanship?"
Jiang Zhen said in a muffled voice, "He was kidnapped and separated from his mother when he was young, and he didn't grow up with her. If he had grown up with her, he wouldn't be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but he would still be able to cultivate the art of tea."
