Chapter 37 Xiao Zhen started working as a stonemason



The next day after Xiao Zhen returned, he begged his grandfather to take gifts to visit Wang the stonemason, who lived eight kilometers away.

Xiao Zhen wanted to learn stone carving. Stonemason Wang was no ordinary stonemason. He was one of the most famous arts and crafts artists in Ba County, with a certificate and an organization.

He just lacks a diploma from a professional art school. He is about the same age as his grandfather. A stonemason and a bricklayer are both well-known masters in the area.

Old Man Wang has a lot of disciples in the districts and counties of Nan'an, Jiangbei and Ba County. It can be said that half of the people who carve these in the suburbs of the main urban area have a master-disciple relationship with Old Man Wang.

Experienced craftsmen not only have to learn technical skills, but also some traditional "skills". This is not to promote feudal superstition. Indeed, every job has its own rules.

His grandfather's bricklaying skills may not be very good, but when it comes to rules, Wen Dalu is a master.

Sometimes when he had some free time at home after training, his grandfather would tell him some weird stories, at least from the Sichuan and Chongqing areas.

Xiao Zhen had heard of some of these "old revolutionaries" before, and some were new things that his grandfather had personally told him about.

Xiao Zhen thought of the "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" in his memory in the New Century version. The guy was a tomb raider fan and read the original novel five times.

In Xiao Zhen's last semester, aside from updating "Magic Age 6," he wasn't planning on writing anymore. He'd originally planned to write about the stories of his uncles Xiao Zheng, Huo, Li, and Zhao Gang, but he didn't want to start just yet. He felt he needed some time to settle down.

When he left this year, his father asked him to go to Beijing for the summer vacation, and Xiao's father also said that Huasheng would always be his alone.

From now on, whether it is my brother or sister, they will not be affected by his influence.

Xiao Zhen didn't care about these things. He had lost his desire for money and just wanted to study hard.

Mr. Xiao also told his eldest son about the arrangements for him, suggesting that he give up his Hong Kong citizenship and obtain a domestic household registration.

In September, a junior high school has been found in Xiaozhen, which is either Yuying or Jingshan School arranged by the superiors.

The courtyard house his father bought for him was originally the residential compound of an iron factory before liberation.

Later, after the iron and steel plant was merged with Shougang, it moved to Shijingshan, and this dilapidated courtyard was assigned to the Jiaodaokou Street Office.

It had been rotten for several years, and then his father collected it like junk.

At the same time, they also bought all the nearby No. 95, 96, and 97, using Hong Kong dollars. This was the first time that the street office received foreign currency, so they sold it to Hong Kong compatriots.

It was Mr. Zhang, the treasure collector in his family, who suggested buying this dilapidated yard. He said that he had been here with his eldest master before.

This used to be a prince's outer residence or something, so there must be some undiscovered things buried here.

It is true that a huge basement was cleared out later, which contained some things from the palace, but the most valuable things were the carved and engraved ancient books in most of the warehouse.

This place alone directly accounts for half of the ancient books collected in the past two years. Xiao Zhen was immersed in those cultural treasures throughout the Spring Festival. He has already read 1/7 of the books carefully, and there is still more to read.

After this incident, his old man Zhang would buy whatever he was interested in, of course through legal channels.

At present, Old Man Zhang has moved to Shanghai with Uncle Liu Jun and others.

His cousin Wenming still followed him to do foreign trade. His uncle-in-law Xiao Zhen's father lent him 2 million US dollars and gave him a 5,000-ton sea vessel, which mainly operated on the route from Gangcheng to Vladivostok.

When Xiao Zhen left, he joked that he hoped to bring back a Russian cousin-in-law, and his cousin Wenming punched the guy.

Wenming knew that she was beautiful, but that was before they got married. After they got married, she was like a balloon. As for his first love, he had already forgotten her.

However, Xiao Zhen knew that his cousin had benefited from other people's kindness, so it was not a big loss.

Xiao Zhen looked at the address of No. 95, Nanluoguxiang, Jiaodaokou, Dongcheng District, Beijing, which his father had given him.

It is very close to Shichahai, only a few minutes away. He decided to go to Jingshan to study in the future, mainly because it is close!

This year, Huasheng's Meiyijia officially entered the mainland market with its large supermarkets. The first step was to establish nine logistics and warehousing centers in Shenyang, Baoding, Zhengzhou, Lanzhou, Wuhan, Yuzhou, Wuxi, Guangzhou and Kunming, and purchased 50,000 Changling container trucks and medium-sized refrigerated trucks from Yige Automobile Group.

The flagship stores in provincial capitals and regional central cities bought their own land and built a medium-sized commercial complex, and handed over the property management to Paradise Property.

Paradise Commercial Management Group Co., Ltd. has really become a success and he can't get rid of it. If he doesn't want to be a developer, he can be an operator.

Another reason is that his agricultural development company is named Farmer.

This was the name given to him by his mother, and Xiao Zhen had no choice but to accept it.

As a little boy, he can't argue with his pregnant mother. He is not a conspicuous person.

After school started, Xiao Zhen grew a little taller, and he and Wang Chang sat in the second to last row. After all, there were people who grew faster than them.

Sister Wenfang from Xiaozhen has completely grown horizontally. Their height remains the same, but their weight is a bit too much. However, Sister Wenfang is a big girl who enjoys eating anything and doesn't care about her double chin at all.

During the lunch break every day, Xiao Zhen would take some worthless white jade to carve private seals for his classmates.

He became a close friend with the interesting old man Lao Huang whom he met in Phoenix. Last year, Lao Huang went to visit a friend in Hong Kong and bought all the books he had published. The old man liked to read "The Legend of Chusen".

He also bought "Age of Magic 1" and just read it. Xiao Zhen had no choice but to work overtime at the end of last year to get him a Chinese version and mail it to the old man.

The old man gave Xiao Zhen his own private printmaking and seal-making experience in return, which helped Xiao Zhen improve his seal-making skills. This guy is dexterous and smart, and he learns things quickly.
