Chapter 64, Old Man Qin

As he was talking, the food came up, and the big guy looked at the meat and vegetables with a light in his eyes. Most of the students will save the subsidy and send it home to subsidize their families, so the big fish and big meat are the students' favorite.

Li Ya saw that everyone's eyes were green, and said with a smile: "Let's go! It's not easy to eat meat in school, so it's not enough to eat it today." ”

Li Ya spoke, but the others didn't answer at all, and the chopsticks went straight to the meat clip, and the fat meat was more popular.

After eating and drinking, Zhao Shengli said: "I haven't eaten so much meat since I was a child, and today I finally satisfied my hunger." ”

Li Ya smiled: "I haven't eaten big fish and meat, beware of diarrhea." I have heard that Chinese people who have just immigrated to Canada are the most likely to get gastrointestinal diseases, Canadians are used to big fish and meat, and just after immigration, their stomach and intestines cannot adapt to it. ”

Tang Wei hiccuped, put a cigarette to his mouth, and said, "I heard you say that you got one or two million yuan from selling antiques just now, and I have been thinking, this antique is so valuable?"

"Antiques do have a lot of money, but only a very small part of them are worth a lot of money. For example, it is normal for a well-preserved famous purple clay pot to be worth 120,000 yuan, and a good piece of jade can also be worth hundreds of thousands. So, while the antiques are not worth much now, you can collect a few pieces if you have money in hand. Li Ya explained, and encouraged everyone to open up a collection business.

After a conversation, everyone went back to school, and the wine was finished, but there were still many cigarettes left, and there were still packs left. Li Ya said: "Bring it all, bring it all, I don't smoke either, it's useless to keep it." ”

After settling the account, Li Ya sent everyone away, hugged one by one, and said words of blessing.

When the people are gone, there is only one Li Ya left, his head is dizzy, he wanted to go back to the hotel, but he couldn't stop walking, and he walked around with the reins, only feeling that he was very comfortable.

Passing by an alley, he saw a person lying in the corner, Li Ya walked straight over and saw that it was an old man, his hair and beard were messy, his clothes were torn and dirty, and he exuded a pungent stench. Li Ya knew at a glance that this was starvation.

I found a stall nearby, although the stall is small, it is also state-run, Li Ya looked at the sign and smiled. I bought some steamed buns, asked for some hot water, returned to the corner where the old man was lying, pushed it, watched the other party wake up, and said with a smile: "Old comrade, come on, come on, buy you some steamed buns, eat them while they're hot." ”

The old man tried to turn his head and look around with his eyes wide open, but there was only one person in front of him, and he gave him something to eat, and called himself an old comrade. He has never been called a comrade in these years, looking at the young man in front of him, he doesn't know him, he definitely doesn't know himself, otherwise he will definitely take a detour. Propping himself up, he sat against the wall and said, "Thank you, young man." But you'd better get out of here and leave me alone. If others know that you help me, it will not be good for you. ”

Li Ya smiled and said: "It seems that you are still wearing a hat on your head, it's okay, it's not right now, it's not right, it's going to be fine soon." You, eat something first and live before you can see justice and rehabilitation, otherwise if you die, it will be no fun to give you peace and rehabilitation. Moreover, I am considered an overseas Chinese, so it will not hurt me to help you. ”

The old man's eyes lit up, and he knew about overseas Chinese, and the newspapers reported on many overseas Chinese returning to China to visit their relatives. He asked, "Where are you from?"

Li Ya smiled: "Canada, I'm from Canada." ”

"Oh. The old man's voice lowered, and his face was full of loneliness.

Li Ya looked at the old man's face and knew that he had relatives overseas, and comforted: "Now that the country's policies and policies have changed, you see if there are more and more people returning to China to visit relatives now, I think your relatives will come back soon." Handing over the food in his hand, Li Ya continued, "So, you have to eat something, so that you have the strength and energy to wait for them to come back to see you." ”

The old man listened to Li Ya's words, stretched out his hand tremblingly, took a steamed bun and bit a piece hard, chewed and swallowed it vigorously, but choked, Li Ya hurriedly handed over the water, and the old man drank a few sips before swallowing.

After eating three steamed buns smoothly, the old man stopped and sighed, "I haven't eaten so full for a long time." ”

Seeing that the old man was in good spirits, Li Ya asked the old man, "Where do you live?" Why don't I send you back?"

The old man shook his head and said, "It's in this alley, I can walk by myself, and I don't need you to send it." As he spoke, he struggled to his feet, staggered to his feet, and stepped along.

Li Ya looked at it, how could he still go? stepped forward to help him, and walked towards the alley.

Li Ya helped the old man into the dilapidated courtyard gate, the inside was just as dilapidated, the carved beams were red and dark, and the original style had long been lost; The privately built huts occupy the courtyard, and you can touch the adjacent buildings with your hands straight.

Everything seems extremely vicissitudes of life, and there is no beauty at all. And such a courtyard house is actually stuffed with more than a dozen families.

Under the jujube trees in the courtyard, six or seven women and old women sat talking and doing needlework, and a group of children were screaming and running and playing. A woman in her forties looked up and saw Li Ya helping Old Man Qin back, and shouted, "Yo! Old Man Qin is back, have you eaten?" This yard belonged to Old Man Qin, but the Housing Authority took it back and arranged for seven or eight families to live in. But later, these people trembled, taking advantage of the wind of culture and revolution, not only did they not pay the rent, but also dragged the old man Qin to criticize and fight. Now that Old Man Qin is old, he often can't receive his retirement salary, so he can't live anymore without income. But these people simply ignored Old Man Qin, wishing he had died sooner.

Old man Qin is now gone with food stamps, meat stamps, and money, and his life is no longer alive, although Li Ya said just now that he was waiting for his relatives to come back to see him, but now when he heard this, the suffering he had suffered for so many years came to his heart, and he didn't care about anything, and the extravagant hope of living was thrown out of the clouds, and he raised his hand angrily and shouted: "Zheng Xiaohua, when you were hungry in front of my house, I gave you food and treated you, and it took you half a year to get better." Now you are still like this, your conscience has been eaten by dogs! Grace will take revenge! If I had known that this was the case, I would not have looked at you if you were sick and died! Tell me how my family treats you? Have you not treated you badly? This has raised a white-eyed wolf. ”

Zheng Xiaohua blushed when she heard this, she criticized and fought from time to time over the years, and often pulled Old Man Qin out to talk about it, showing her nobility, she had been used to it for so many years, and now when Old Man Qin said it, she found that the reason why she despised Old Man Qin was not sufficient. Anyway, they saved her life and raised her.

Li Ya sighed: "Anyway, he also accepted the transformation back then, and the family property was given up. Now you are doing this to an old man in his 70s, is his heart still red? Such an old man is living a life of hunger and cold, is this still a society, a society, a society, a god, and a righteous country?"

A group of women were silent, Li Ya helped the old man into the left wing, and swept it at a glance, there was a bed in the innermost part of the room of more than ten square meters, tables and benches outside, pots and pans, leaving only a narrow aisle.

Let Old Man Qin sit on the bed, Li Ya said, "You just eat, rest for a while, and I'll pour you a glass of water." ”

Old man Qin said, "There is no boiling water, just pour some cold water." ”

Scooping up a bowl of water, Li Ya brought it to Old Man Qin, moved a chair with his hand, sat in front of the bed, saw that the wood of the bed was of a special color, and said, "This bed is good." ”

After today's events, Old Man Qin also saw it, no longer hidden, and said: "This is Huanghuali's, it has been hundreds of years, and it is said that Xie Qian has used it." Seeing Li Ya's blank eyes, he explained, "It's Xie Qian, one of the three elders of the Hongzhi Zhongxing period." ”

Li Ya thought for a while and suddenly said, "Zhengde's father was at that time." I know, Li Gongmou, Liu Gongju, Xie Gongyou Kankan Xie Gong. He doesn't understand antique art or the like, but he just thinks it's good-looking, and Xie Qian, as a famous minister of Zhongxing, has a very high status, and is considered a bigwig, national, and high-level boss, and his reputation is also great, and the bed he uses is of course excellent, saying, "The material is precious, the workmanship is also excellent, it must come from a famous family, and it has a historical background, and this bed is sold for more than one million." Old man, you have to protect it, don't break it and lose it. ”
