400. Gift-giving
Liu Baoyong was anxious to say goodbye, and when he left, he also took a careful look at the room, the tables and chairs were either red sandalwood or mahogany, the calligraphy and paintings on the walls were all left by famous artists, and the tea bowl lid was made of fine porcelain from Jun kiln.

Li He personally sent several people outside the door and shook hands one by one to say goodbye.
Regarding the matter of going to Czechoslovakia, Li He didn't think much about it for the time being, anyway, he was going to go sooner or later, and it was not a big deal to go first, all of this was planned. It's just that Liu Bao used these people to let him go with him, and he was a little surprised, but it was just an accident.
What he was thinking about now was that this old man Qin, father and son, had actually quietly sold such a big favor to him, how could he pay it back. If people don't say it, it is impossible for him to pretend not to know, let alone know it now.
Five or six foreigners took pictures in the alley with their cameras, and one was more curious about Li He standing at the door, and he was about to take pictures, as if to reflect the customs and human feelings. Li He waved at them and said, "No photography." ”
"Do you speak English?" a few foreigners are curious about being able to speak English, after all, there are still very few people who can meet fluent English.
Li He was in no mood to talk to them, so he just followed the guide wearing a sunhat and holding a small red flag next to him and said, "Hurry up and take them away." ”
The tour guide said unhappily, "This comrade, please pay attention to the discipline of foreign affairs, these are foreign guests, they are very interested in Hutong culture, and they have come to experience it." ”
She was a young girl in her twenties, and she spoke proudly with her head held high.
"While playing, I'm talking to me about foreign affairs discipline, hurry up, or I'll beat people, your foreign guests have an accident, see if you are responsible, or my responsibility. Li He's face darkened all of a sudden, and now everyone wants to pinch him, making him very uncomfortable and unhappy.
Where are these foreigners counted as foreign guests, they are all poor travelers in their own country, taking advantage of foreign exchange, and they have come to China and suddenly become tall.
Foreigners coming to China are generally polarized, or extremely high-status people, such as Kissinger. Either you are poor in your own country, and you basically have no savings, and you may have overdrawn your credit card when you come here for a walk.
There is very little so-called solid middle class.
"Why are you like this? The tour guide glanced at Xiao Wei and Da Kui, who were clenching their fists next to them and were eager to try, and could only swallow their anger.
The foreigners saw the two of them chattering for a while, but they couldn't understand, so they could only follow the tour guide.
After Xiao Wei saw the people leaving, he said to Li He, "Brother, I'm also annoyed, there are a lot of people every day, it's strange to see anything, I want to take pictures when I see a barber stall, I see an old man playing chess and I also take pictures, I look at us strangely, treat us as monkeys in the zoo, endlessly." ”
"Help me see if Old Man Qin is at home. "Li He is going to express his gratitude. He went back to the house and carried two bottles of Moutai and two cigarettes, carrying light and fluttering, feeling that it was still not enough, and he ruthlessly hugged a purple clay pot on the shelf with newspapers, or he didn't send it, and if he wanted to send it, he would send a big one.
Xiao Wei reported that Old Man Qin was at home. Li He locked the door and personally carried his things to Qin's house. The Qin family's house is not big, it is pitiful compared to Li He's house, a gate, as soon as you enter the courtyard, there are two side rooms and a flower hall behind it, only the old man Qin and his granddaughter Qin Youmi live here, it is indeed enough.
Old man Qin was teasing the birds in the cage in the yard, and said with a smile to Li He, "Are you willing to give me a gift?"
Li He put the things on the table, moved a chair by himself, sat down in front of the old man and said, "Your magnetic food jar is not good, I'll give you one another day." ”
For bird lovers, bird cages, magnetic food jars, magnetic pools, and even small shovels to remove bird droppings are all exquisite. As it happens, he has no shortage of these gadgets.
"Second Li, are you quite idle today, I usually invite you to come, but you don't come. Qin Youmi came out from behind Li He, wearing a blue cloth skirt, straight up and down, slim, playful and neat.
Li He said with a smile, "Since you know that I don't come often, you are reluctant to make me a pot of tea?"
Qin Youmi ignored this, took apart the things Li He had brought, looked left and right at the purple clay pot, and then handed it to Old Man Qin and said, "Master, look at it, Er Li is wrong today." ”
Old man Qin took the maroon purple clay pot, weighed it first, and then played with it in his hand, and said, "Good things, good things, the pot is delicate and smooth, such a good Huaying pot is willing to give it to me?"
"It's just a tea drinker, if you like it, I'll give it to you, it's no big deal. ”
Old man Qin smiled at Li He and said, "I want this thing, let's clear it up in the future." ”
"I have to thank you. Li He didn't expect this old man to be so straightforward, so he smiled and said, "If someone hadn't told me, I really didn't know you had helped me so much." ”
Old man Qin said, "Sensei, it's still me taking advantage." ”
Happily handed it to Qin Youmi and asked her to make a pot of tea. After the tea is brewed, it is really fragrant.
"It's good to like it. ”
"You kid sprinkling so much money every day, raising the price of our piece, and my old man can't eat a cake if he wants to. ”
"Well, I'll pay attention to it in the future. Li He smiled bitterly, probably the stall owners in this area are familiar with his temperament, those who sell cakes, tofu, and roast duck all know that he is generous. At the beginning, the money was given, and when I gave change, I hated waiting time, and I didn't want three or five cents.
After a long time, the stall owners have also habitually stopped giving change, and after being spoiled, the prices in this area are higher than elsewhere.
Li He chatted casually and withdrew from the Qin family.
Qin Youmi chased after him and said, "Second Li, you stand." ”
"Something?" This time Li He's attitude was surprisingly good, and his father gave him help, so he naturally had a better attitude towards others.
Qin Youmi said, "Let me ask you something." ”
"You're welcome, you say. ”
"Those two Hong Kongers are your friends, right?"
"You're talking about Yu Dehua and Shen Daoru, right? Old man Yu's son, you should know him. ”
Qin Youmi said with a smile, "If you know something, you know it, but you are still not familiar with it, and I bother you." I have a friend who is a TV reporter and wants to do an interview with the two of them, but these two people don't seem to be very happy, why don't you help me talk about it?"
These two people go in and out of Li He's house every day, and Qin Youmi can see it every once in a while, so she thought about asking Li He about it.
Li He thought for a while and said, "No problem, I'll do it with one word." ”
"Can you call the shots for them?" Qin Youmi didn't expect Li He to agree so happily, according to her understanding of Li He, this person didn't eat oil and salt, and he had never spoken so well at any time, in other words, he hadn't made her so happy.
Li He replied very simply, "Whoever doesn't give face, you always have to give face, you ask your reporter friend, when you have time, you can do it with notice." ”
Qin Youmi blushed and said rarely, "Thank you." I'll call her back now. ”
She found that when this person was so good at talking, it made her a little uncomfortable.
Although the current decline in economic development is very serious, because of the approach of the Asian Games, the construction of venues has not stopped, including the greening of the urban area has been carried out to the area of Sanmiao Street.
Even the public toilet that has not been cared for for many years has been cleaned again, there is no pungent smell, and there is no unknown liquid on the ground, which is the most comfortable squatting pit for Li He.
Xiao Wei wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to carry out demolition, and said excitedly, "The western suburbs are being demolished in the whole area, brother, I know people, we can do the demolition work." ”
"You can't do it. Li He replied with certainty, "Good things can get your turn?"
What he lacks now is a relationship, and what he needs most for this kind of work is a relationship, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch.
Xiao Wei shrugged, he had to give up, he knew Li He's temper, and if he said no, he wouldn't do it.
