Chapter 3 Chapter 3 The Inviolable Husband

I was busy with work during the day and forgot my troubles. When I was alone in the house in the dead of night, I heard the voice of my son Zhengji shouting from far to near, as if riding the wind in the night sky. The sound of the wind is too similar to Zhengji's voice!Hiyama Yue did not despair, she firmly believed that Zhengji would come back sooner or later.Even though the hope of her son's return is long gone, she refuses to despair.Maybe this kind of rejection will last a lifetime. After Zhengji went out that day, he never came back. It has been several months, and there is still no news at all.

A year ago, he fell in love with judo and went to the judo class on the outskirts of the city twice a week to train, rain or shine.Sometimes I have a cold and a high fever, even if I miss the class, I can't delay the judo class.After practicing for more than a year, although his skills have not improved much and he is still hovering at the second level, his ambition has not diminished, saying that one day he will win a world championship in the Olympics like Yamashita. However, on a windy day in early March, Zhengji never came back after going to judo class from home.I asked the people in the judo class, and the answer was that he went home after training around nine o'clock in the evening.

From the judo class to home, there is only two kilometers in between. However, in the distance of these two kilometers, Zhengji "evaporated" like water vapor. Five years ago, Yu Zhi lost her husband due to an accident. Since then, the mother and son have lived a life dependent on each other.Zhengji is a very sensible child. He saw his mother working as a temporary worker in a nearby radio parts factory in order to maintain the family's livelihood. In order to reduce the burden on his mother, he also found a job delivering milk. Yu Zhi said that he didn't need to do it to learn the homework well, but he would not listen to any persuasion, saying that his mother could not do it alone.

He said that he chose the milkman because delivering milk can exercise the strength of the waist and legs.Such a filial child will not leave his mother and run away alone.Something must have happened to Zhengji. In order to find the trace of Zhengji, Yu Zhi went back and forth between home and judo classroom many times.Along the way, she picked up a piece of metal, which seemed to have fallen from a necklace. Gold was matched with platinum. It seemed that its original product should be a rather expensive jewelry. How could such a valuable thing fall on the road?Could it be related to Zhengji's "evaporation"?Anyway, this is a "foreign object" that fell on Zhengji's "frequently walked path".Yu Zhi decides to report the case to the police.

Although the case was reported, it was only to seek spiritual comfort. "Does he have a girlfriend? Did he have any trouble with his girlfriend?" The police officer on duty asked routinely. "Girlfriend? He's still a first-year junior high school student." Yu Zhi was very unhappy with the tone of the police officer on duty. "Children today are very precocious. The first grade of junior high school is no different from adults." "My son is not that precocious." "Everyone says that. But was he ever called out?" "The place he often goes to is the judo classroom, and he went there that day."

"Did you have any trouble with your family?" "It's just the two of us at home, and he's a very sensible kid. We've never had a fight!" While Yu Zhi was talking, he remembered something in his heart.It was not long after her husband died, and she met another man, but not long after her husband died, it was difficult to accept her emotionally for a while. Zhengji later found out about this and gradually recognized his existence.However, when she hesitated, he married another woman.Yu Zhi has no right to blame him, because the responsibility lies with him. Facing the other party's marriage proposal, he always says that he will wait until his mood is adjusted, and let the other party wait indefinitely.

But it was impossible for Zhengji to run away from home because of this incident. He was still in primary school at the time, so it was impossible for him to understand the relationship between his mother and the man, and besides, it was several years ago. The police officer on duty did not notice the change in Yu Zhi's expression, and continued to ask: "Did he take any cash or passbook or something?" "No." "Is there any lack of clothes? Like casual clothes or uniforms?" "He was just wearing a normal tracksuit and jeans." "Have you done anything you didn't finish?"

"Oh, he borrowed a mystery novel from a friend and hasn't finished it yet. He said it's very interesting and he'll read it when he gets back." "Okay. Based on these alone, it is difficult to conclude that there is a suspicion of being murdered. Let's talk about it in a day or two." The police officer on duty said casually. "why?" "Of those who run away from home, more than 80% will come back after two or three days." "But Zhengji won't come back." "How did you see that?" "If you want to come back, come back early, something must have happened to him!"

"Anyway, wait a couple of days and see. Maybe it's not as serious as you think." However, three days later, Zhengji still did not come back.Yu Zhi's premonition has been tested. From then on, Yuzhi began to wait indefinitely, day by day passed, and the hope of Zhengji's return became more and more slim. However, she did not give up her last hope. Zhengji must still be alive!I can't live without him! For Yuzhi, Zhengji can be said to be the whole of her life and the continuation of her life.The life of her and her husband has long been dispensable in front of Zhengji. He just spread Zhengji's life into her body, that's all.This is not just the weathering caused by forgetting, the original husband is indifferent in her heart.She is a match that can be ignited anywhere as long as it is rubbed, and her husband is just the friction substance that ignites Zhengji's fire of life.

In other words, anyone can act as this friction substance, but he just happens to rub it.Even the man she met after her husband's death didn't have a deep impression on her, so although he couldn't wait for Yu Zhi's "mood adjustment" and married another woman, she didn't think it was a problem. "I have Zhengji!" Thinking of this, she can bear no matter how much pain and blow she suffers, but Zhengji, who was her life pillar and spiritual support, suddenly disappeared now. However, she did not give up the hope in her heart, she firmly believed that Zhengji would come back sooner or later.

"Hey, that necklace is almost ready." Suddenly asked by his wife, Ba Shu couldn't help stuttering. "Then, I really don't like that work, so I won't do it." "What? Didn't you say that this is the work you are most satisfied with?" Taeko opened her eyes wide in surprise.He originally asked casually, but Ba Shu's answer surprised him greatly. "It was like that at first, but later I always felt that the style was not very good, so I changed it to a bracelet." The processing and production of gold jewelry is generally to first melt the raw materials to extract pure gold (24K gold), and then turn it into 18K gold for processing. "Since you don't like it, forget it, but it took so long, it's a pity." "Sorry." "There's no need to say I'm sorry, the work is the foundation. I'm not in the mood to sell works you don't like." "I can rest assured that." "I don't want to put too much pressure on you." "Thank you for thinking of me so much." Seeing his wife frowning tightly, Bashu hastily comforted her. "Anyway, you do it, and I sell it. If you don't do it, it's useless for me to sell it. It depends on you!" "It's up to me to say that. No matter how much I do, without you selling it for me, my works will not be famous." Bashu said flatteringly. Bashu Zhuozhi is a gold engraving craftsman who started from fine grain carving.Fine grain engraving is the most common technique in gold engraving, which is to engrave various characters and patterns on the metal surface with a chisel knife.Fine-grain carvings have been applied as early as the Yayoi period and the Kofun period, such as the bronze musical instruments and bronze weapons of the Yayoi period, and the armor, harness, decorations and religious supplies of the Kofun period.Later, with the changes of the times, from Asuka, Nara, Heian to modern times, fine-grain carving has been widely used as the mainstream of gold carving. After learning fine grain engraving in Japan, Yashu went to Germany to study silver processing, and then turned to gold processing, and won the title of "Gold Schmidt Meister", a famous German gold processing master. Since the scope of silver processing is very narrow, it is only used in church candlesticks, tableware, bowls and cups, and older churches can hardly get in, so they later turned to the more popular "gold processing". In Germany, he met Taeko who was also studying there and made a lifelong decision.Shortly after returning to Japan, they fell into a coma.Taeko, who was born in a wealthy family, opened a jewelry store in Ginza with the influence of her father, and employed Yasuke as a full-time craftsman to exclusively sell his works. Although the opening of the jewelry store relied on her father's relationship, Taeko also showed her extraordinary ability in business.She made full use of her father's relationship and aimed at the upper class of Japan to continuously expand her business territory. Even those colleagues who looked down on her and said that her daughter-in-law's business method would have to close in a short time were also amazed. When her peers changed their business strategies in the face of the unpredictable market, she established a firm foothold and occupied a place in the precious metal industry in Japan. Of course, Bashu's works have also been widely praised by customers.At the beginning, some customers who bought because of their sympathy also praised his works, saying that his works organically integrate traditional Japanese crafts and modern European crafts, and have unique charm. Recently, his works are in short supply. .Yashu's artistic creation and Taeko's business talent combined to promote works of art to the society.If Bashu didn't meet Miaozi, maybe his works would never have a bright future. Conversely, if there were no Bashu's works, Miaozi's business would not be so prosperous. In this sense, it can be said that they are an excellent pair that complement each other by learning from each other.However, Taeko is worried about whether his father's influence and money will bring psychological pressure to Bashu. After all, it is his father's financial resources that make him famous as a gold carving craftsman.There is no precious metal dealer without the backing of hundreds of millions of yuan in capital, and without the guarantee of strong financial resources, it is impossible to operate and maintain it.However, without the strong support of precious metal dealers, gold carving craftsmen will never become famous.The relationship between the two is like the relationship between an art dealer and a painter, and no one can do without the other. Bashu first learned silver processing, and it was Taeko who made him turn to "gold products".Miaozi achieved her goal as she wished, but Bashu buried her long-cherished wish deep in her heart. All she wanted was to have a deeper attainment in her favorite silver product processing, and she didn't want to be swayed by fame and customers' intentions.However, the reality in front of us is that the strong commercial atmosphere has replaced the artist's creative desire, and the artist's creation has been distorted by the strong smell of copper. This is the price that must be paid in order to seek greater development in the future, and Bashu is also willing to do so.Rather than sleeping on the things that cannot be sold, it is better to bring your creative desires closer to the commercial atmosphere and become a sought-after gold engraver. However, Taeko has been feeling more and more uneasy recently: whether her own business talent and the influence of her father behind her will put some kind of pressure on Yashu.Artists and businessmen have always been incompatible heretics.The former regards creation from scratch as their own responsibility, while the latter aims to obtain profits by moving existing things (commodities) from one place to another.The former pursues how to create higher-level works of art, while the latter pursues how to obtain greater profits.I originally wanted to help my husband's creation to help him, but did my kindness become an obstacle to his artistic creation? As a wife, I live with him every day, but there is a holy place in his heart that even his wife cannot enter.It is an underground channel that no one can step into. In its depths, there are ovaries that generate works and wombs that implant the seeds of art.This sacrosanct territory seemed to expand over time after marriage. He locked himself in his studio, and no one but himself and his students were allowed to enter.This is not only the imprisonment of women, it is the imprisonment of human beings!This is still the superficially visible and inviolable territory, but where is the invisible and inviolable territory of the husband? "Everyone in the alumni reunion has read your work, and everyone likes it very much." Taeko changed the subject. "What reunion?" Bashu asked casually. "It's the classmate reunion during the trip." "Oh, are you still active?" Bashu showed a surprised expression. It has been more than a year since that trip. "So persistent!" "For business. Use all the connections you can use." "Haven't you contacted the school's alumni association?" "Of course I contacted, but it didn't work. Besides, everyone in the school's alumni association has known each other before, so it's not easy to handle." "why?" "You think, everyone is different from each other after entering the society. If you contact them rashly, they will be unhappy, especially if you bring friends with you. There is a sense of confrontation between each other. Being hated by others. In this regard, the people in the tour group are the most ideal." "Are they all here?" "They all have a passion for gemstones." "It seems to be called Meigu. It's the lady who wears a silver chain. I heard that her father is the boss of a big company. She must have bought a lot, right?" "Still talking! She! I didn't expect her to be a miser! Who do you think bought the most? It's Mrs. Anyang Temple!" "Ms. Anyangsi? Is that the wife of the university teacher?" "Yes! She bought the 'Sun Ribbon'!" "What? She bought 'The Ribbon of the Sun'?" Bashu looked surprised.It was a necklace made of gold, and it was the most proud work of Bashu.It is the most eye-catching work in this reward activity.The price is the highest among all products, priced at 5 million yen, with a 30% discount. A total of 800 people were invited for this occasion, and a total of 43 million yen was sold. Mrs. Anyang Temple had the highest single-item purchase among all customers. "Is the salary of university professors so good?" Ba Kao seems to be worried about Anyang Temple's economic income.You know, even with a discount, there are still 3.5 million yen!Does that shriveled old man who looks like an unearthed cultural relic really have such great financial strength?He was more surprised than suspicious and disturbed. "What's the matter? I asked her to pay in installments. But meeting such a wife is enough for the husband." "They seem to be quite different in age." "It's one generation away! No, it's okay to say two generations away." "To please the young lady, sir is exhausted!" "That woman, she doesn't care about her husband's affairs at all, as long as she is suitable." "I didn't expect my carefully crafted work to bring pain to the old professor." "You worry too much! For that old gentleman, the young wife is his whole life. As a university professor, if he wants to make money, there are many ways to show his face on TV or write books. I heard that That old gentleman is world-renowned in archeology. Isn’t it the craze for classical art now? Taking advantage of this craze, you can earn tens of millions by advertising on TV. I listed him first in the customer book. " "Perhaps the husband will live longer if he has such a young wife! Are all the wives from the reunion here?" "Mrs. Yonekawa didn't come. I heard that Mrs. Yonechuan's husband and Mrs. Anyangji's husband were having a fight. I don't know if that's why they didn't come." "Why are the two of you having such a fight?" "I heard that ancient relics have been found in the fields of Michuan. Anyang Temple needs to investigate." "That's also a predestined relationship in a previous life." "Who says it's not! Mrs. Anyangsi didn't take it seriously, saying that it has nothing to do with me, but on Mrs. Michuan's side, maybe she doesn't want to see Mrs. Anyangsi." "Does she know that people from the class reunion are coming?" "I didn't tell her. Maybe she knows." "The Yonegawa couple seem to be quite different in age, and they don't seem to know each other." "Hmm. Maybe because of something else." "Anything else? What is it?" Bashu looked a little panicked. "Then how would I know?!" "Too!" "But why didn't you attend this special offer? Many customers want to meet you!" "I don't want to be seen as a panda!" "No one sees you that way! It's human nature to want to meet the author." "But you are selling it, and I am doing it." "Haven't you been there before?" "Okay. Next time." Eight beams said impatiently.
