Chapter 26: What a Vain

"Dad, Mom, Fourth Uncle, this is the leader of our unit, Mr. Meng. Although Xue Da didn't know what his son was going to do when he suddenly brought a leader back, no matter what, the smiling leader drove Santana to their house with his son, which was always a long-faced thing.

He put down the work at hand and warmly shook hands with Mr. Meng. After some politeness, Xue Shaojun asked her mother: "Mom, give me the key to the lower house." ”

Fang Qiuxiang was naturally surprised, what to do with the door key of the house, except for farm tools and sundries, there were no good things.

Despite her doubts, she untied the keychain from the waistband of her pants and handed it to her son. The leader watched with a smile as Xue Shaojun went to open the door of the hut.

Everyone Xue also collected a lot of vegetables this morning, and they were loading the car at this time. Although many of the people who came to deliver the food had already returned home, there were still a few idle people and loaders outside the gate, intentionally or unintentionally, paying attention to the movement at the door of the lower house.

Xue Shaojun knew that his parents must be very strange about this, so he explained while opening the door: "Mr. Meng heard that there are a few old furniture in our house, and I want to come over to take a look, and there are old people in his family who like this, if it is really suitable, Mr. Meng wants to buy this furniture." ”

For Xue Shaojun, their family is now living a worry-free life and is not short of money. Those old furniture were originally left in tatters anyway, and they were even going to be thrown away. It doesn't matter how much it sells, it would be best if he could get closer to Mr. Meng through these family members who thought they were scraps.

So as soon as Mr. Meng mentioned this, he brought the leader over as soon as possible. I'm afraid that after a long time, my mother will pack up and dispose of it.

Xue Da listened, and his thoughts were similar to those of his son, he had made a lot of money in the past few years, and now his biggest wish was that his son could have a good future. If the leader of Xue Shaojun really likes this set of furniture, he will have to give this furniture out even if he is half sold and half given away. It's just that I didn't expect that anyone would be willing to ask for those missing arms, legs, and scratches? He was still a little skeptical at this time, so let's let that Mr. Meng take a look first.

Fang Qiuxiang was dumbfounded when she heard this, and hurriedly grabbed his son's hand: "Shaojun, what kind of furniture are you talking about?"

Xue Shaojun saw that his mother was stopping him, so he explained to her: "It's just the one that puts down the house, there are six in total." Aren't some of their legs broken? He continued to unlock the lock.

The lock was opened often and there was no rust, so he inserted the key in, twisted it slightly, and the lock opened. He took off the lock, placed it on the small windowsill next to it, then opened the door, and was the first to enter the somewhat gloomy hut.

Fang Qiuxiang stood at the door and stopped talking, her stomach was full of bitter water, and she stretched out her hand in vain to stop her son. At this time, the old man of the Xue family came, still wearing the straw hat and rubber shoes. Usually Fang Qiuxiang doesn't treat him very well, and when she sees him coming, she doesn't give him a good face. She didn't say anything when she saw him this time, and she hadn't figured out what she was going to say next.

"Boss, this is ......" Old man Xue pointed to Xue Shaojun's leader and looked at Xue Da and asked.

"Oh, this is the leader of the young army, and he wants to come to our house to see that old set of furniture. There were quite a lot of people inside and outside the courtyard, Xue Da replied simply, and walked in behind his son with his hands behind his back.

At this time, Xue Shaojun had already adapted to the dim light in the hut, and looked towards the place where the old furniture was usually placed, it was empty, including the old books and plastic scrap copper and scrap metal that were usually piled up in the hut. Xue Shaojun had a bad premonition in his heart, and then he remembered that his expression was wrong just now.

He walked out in a few steps and asked Fang Qiuxiang, "Mom, where is the furniture?" Although he tried his best to control his emotions, he could still hear a little anxiety in his voice.

"I... Before came a collection of rags, I, I sold. I don't know what that thing is worth......" Fang Qiuxiang said cautiously looking at her son's face.

When the child was young, he could yell at him, and as the child grew older and older, after starting to work, Fang Qiuxiang became more careful when talking to the child. Now this is the situation again, and the confidence to speak is even more lacking.

Xue Da heard the sound and looked back and forth in the hut, and the anger in his heart surged upward, if it weren't for the child's leader here, he might have been angry on the spot.

He turned around several times, picked up a chair leg that fell in the corner, took the log, walked out, and asked Fang Qiuxiang: "When was it sold, and to whom?"

The few people who often come to collect the rags, Xue Da is confident that he can basically find them. Unexpectedly, with Fang Qiuxiang's answer, his last glimmer of hope was also shattered.

"I don't know who he is, he hasn't been here before. The first time I looked at him, I said that he came down directly from the purchasing station to collect scrap, and the price he gave was higher than others. I'll just ......"

Xue Da has been running around outside for several years and has a lot of experience. Hearing this, I already heard suspicious, this person was afraid that he was just staring at this set of furniture in their house. In front of Xue Shaojun's leader, he didn't want to continue to ask, looking at his son's embarrassed face, he felt that he lacked social experience and adaptability, and he had to be a father to play a round.

At that moment, he smiled and walked to Mr. Meng's side and said: "Mr. Meng, look at this, my daughter-in-law has never been out, she doesn't know these things, isn't the family cleaning up the things in the old house? Let the leader run you for nothing. But I do know a few friends, and I'll ask them another day if they have any old furniture like this, and if so, I'll ask you to take a look at them. ”

He had already planned that for the sake of his son's future, even if he spent his own money to buy a set, he would have to buy a set, and then find a way to give it to that Mr. Meng. He naturally understands what he likes.

Mr. Meng waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary, I just heard Xiao Xue talk about this, and I came over to take a look temporarily." In the end, it is something outside the body, so sell it. As he spoke, he looked down at the wood that Xue Da was holding in his hand, and he had already recognized that it was wenge wood, and he would not be mistaken by the unique patterns on it. Sell it to the ragged collectors, and you can't sell it for a few dollars, it's really blind.

He remained silent on the surface, and said to Xue Shaojun: "Xiao Xue, there is still something in the unit, so I will go back first." Why don't you take a vacation today and go back to work tomorrow. Comfort and comfort your mother, don't let her get too angry. As he spoke, he nodded to the Xue family, turned around and followed the driver to Santana.

The leader had already spoken, and Xue Shaojun had no choice but to stay, watching the car go away.

In the afternoon, Xue Da walked to the store casually, knowing that there must be a lot of people talking about his family at this time. He also wanted people to see this trip, this little thing was not a big deal for him Xue Da, and the money for furniture was not a big deal for him.

He bought a cigarette first, and chatted with the people in the store for a few laughs, giving others the impression that the series of events that had happened in the past two days had no effect on him. Then he walked out of the store with the cigarette, but saw Ye Xiaochi walking slowly on crutches alone. The crutch that I usually used was gone, as others said.

Xue Da squinted at the girl who was getting closer and closer, and he had an intuition that the fact that his furniture was being fooled away had something to do with this girl. Although she hasn't been with Xue Shaojun for a long time and hasn't been to his house a few times, she can't wait for a time when she can see the things in his house.
