"Do you say these things are translations? But some of them were written with a brush, some of them were written with a pen, and they looked like they were many years old. Jia Lei said while sorting out the manuscript paper in the box, and then he was attracted by what was written on the manuscript paper.

"Huh, why do I look so familiar with the things written on this manuscript?Why are chemical formulas everywhere on your translations?" Jia Lei stared at these translations and asked in disbelief, he always felt that he had seen everything written on it except for traditional characters.

"The one you're holding is the traditional Chinese translation of The Story of the Elements, which is a chemistry book that my father translated, and you probably read the simplified version of this book when you were a child. Mr. Teng said indifferently.

"Bang!" Jia Lei's hand shook when he heard this, and he threw himself to the ground.

"Mom! Fortunately, this baby was not thrown to the ground by me, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to lose a few lives......" Jia Lei said as he lay on the ground and touched the manuscript on his chest, and the significance of this thing in the history of domestic chemistry is enough to go down in history.

"Hehe, you kid is really funny, it's just a manuscript, and you actually used yourself to cushion it in order to save it. Mr. Teng looked at Jia Lei and said straightforwardly.

"How can this be an ordinary manuscript? I remember my junior high school chemistry teacher told us that this is the earliest popular science book on chemistry in China? This is definitely an antique in the scientific community, and the cornerstone of the domestic chemistry community!" Jia Lei got up cautiously with the manuscript and said, this set of books is the enlightenment book that every school chemistry teacher will mention.

"Except that this thing in your hand is handwritten, it is no different from a printed matter sold on the street for a few dollars, you don't need to be so careful! My box is full of this kind of thing, and it doesn't matter if you lose one or two copies.

Anyway, these things have been destroyed by the group of young generals back then, and it doesn't make a difference to me if I don't have one or two volumes or one or two. Mr. Teng said with a wry smile that when he was in trouble, he felt that it was the greatest happiness to be able to leave a copy of his father's manuscript.

"Don't say that! This thing can be used as a family heirloom, which is much more valuable than gold, silver, jewelry, and antique jade. As long as "The Story of the Elements" is published in the future, then the name of your father, Mr. Teng, will always be engraved on the book. After Jia Lei finished speaking, he respectfully put the manuscript in the cardboard box next to him.

At this time, Jia Lei couldn't wait to go out immediately to burn incense and clean his hands, and then come back to get these things, so as not to defile the sacred scientific works.

"You really don't have to be so cautious about them! These things may be rare to you, but it's not unusual for me to see them a lot since I was a child. Mr. Teng said.

"You've seen a lot since you were a child, that's impossible, I remember that the book "The Story of the Elements" didn't have many pages?"

"It's true that the book "The Story of the Elements" doesn't have many pages, but my father and mother translated more than this one.

The box you have in your hand is full of manuscripts and scraps left over from their translated popular science books, if you treat them so carefully, when will you help me finish sorting them out?" Mr. Teng said helplessly.

"You said that this box is full of popular science books translated by your father? With such two large boxes of manuscripts, how many books has your father translated?" Jia Lei looked at the two big boxes and couldn't help asking.

"You can't read these manuscripts in traditional Chinese, but the publisher recently sent me a set of newly reprinted simplified Chinese characters, so you can read it for yourself. Mr. Teng pointed to a bookshelf and said, and then Jia Lei saw many titles that he was particularly familiar with.

Jia Lei looked at more than 40 scientific and physical enlightenment books on the bookshelf, such as "The Story of the Elements", "The Atomic Bomb and Radar", "The Sequel to Interesting Physics", "Interesting Astronomy", "Earth and Planets", "Etymology of Biological Names and Biological Terms", "Amondsen: The Famous Polar Explorer", and then looked back at the two boxes of manuscripts, and suddenly felt as if he had inadvertently seen the hardships of the rise of Chinese science.

"Your father's translations of these books are basically enlightenment books in all disciplines, and he is such a great man!

You must know that this kind of scientific work cannot be translated without a certain scientific basis, it seems that your father is not only proficient in physics and chemistry, but he is also proficient in medicine and biology?" Jia Lei touched the only book on the bookshelf that wrote "Anatomy and Physiological Characteristics of Children" and sighed, this old Mr. Teng is almost a scientific all-rounder.

"Oh, no matter how good my father is, he can't be proficient in so many subjects and languages, and the book you have in your hand is translated by my mother, who specializes in Russian and medical books, but my mother will also translate other books for my father when he translates them. Mr. Teng said with a smile.

"My good boy, your parents are both great contributors to the rise of the Huaxia Kingdom, and without these things they translated, it would be very difficult for many disciplines to develop.

It would be great if I could have been born decades earlier, so that I could learn these things with them personally!" Jia Lei said enviously, the scumbag will always be envious of the top students!

"My father would have liked you very much if he were still alive, because my father liked to write more than to draw, and he wrote a copy of Marie Curie when he was translating these things!

I'll look for the manuscript of Marie Curie's book!" said Mr. Teng, and then he took out a volume of manuscript from his box and said, but the manuscript of the book was full of traces of fire.

"Hey...... It was such a mess that many books and manuscripts were burned, and I didn't have all the things left in my hand! Since you like my father's translation so much, I'll give it to you as a gift. Mr. Teng gently touched the manuscript in his hand, and then he handed over the manuscript.

"No, I can't ask for this gift! this thing should have a special meaning to you, right?

After all, no matter how many things your father translated, only this one was his own original, even if this book is not as famous as other books, but I think this book is the most meaningful thing for your Teng family. Jia Lei said.

"Hehe! I can't even keep the Teng family's ancestral home, do I still care about a book? No matter how good this thing is, it can't shelter my family from the wind and rain, so you can take it if you like." Mr. Teng said with a smile that he was a person who had experienced ups and downs, so he didn't care about these things outside his body anymore.

"You may not care, but your children will care in the future! Since your father has translated so many books, then you can change it to me, I have something I like better." Jia Lei hurriedly diverted the topic and said.

A gentleman has something to do and something not to do!

Jia Lei can accept a gift from Mr. Teng, but he will never accept something that has a special meaning to Mr. Teng, even if it is really valuable.

"Since you don't like this book, which book do you like? You name it, and I'll see if there's anything left in the manuscript. Mr. Teng asked.

"I ...... I like ......" Jia Lei looked at the dazzling, glittering, and scientific rows of books on the shelves, making it difficult to choose.

Among the three books in front of me, "Interesting Astronomy", "The Story of Elements", and "Interesting Physics Sequel", these three books are the most well-known, but from a professional point of view and historical value, "Etymology of Biological Names and Biological Terms" is the most precious.

No matter which of the original translations of these books comes to thirty years later, Jia Lei finally gritted his teeth and finally made a decision.

"If it's convenient for you, can you send me a few translations of Fun Physics, my grandfather is a physics professor at Mizuki University, and he will definitely like this. Jia Lei said expectantly.

Jia Lei is not short of money now, so when he thinks about this issue, he gives priority to his family's preferences.

"Are you enough for just a few manuscripts? Although I don't have all the translations in my hand, I can still make up half a book. Mr. Teng asked.

"I only need to get a few manuscripts for such a precious thing, and I can be content with a little story! Some things don't belong to me in the first place, and I won't rely on myself to help you make excessive requests......" Jia Lei said with a smile.

After Jia Lei was reborn, he could be cheeky to grab other people's business opportunities and resources, but he was embarrassed to rob the descendants of these outstanding contributions to the development of Chinese science.

That's going to be thundered from the sky!

"Since your grandfather is a professor of physics, he will definitely like the eighth chapter of this book, "Magnetism and Electricity", so I will give you this manuscript. Mr. Teng said, and then he carefully took out a thin hand-bound booklet from a pile of translations and handed it to Jia Lei.

"Thank you, thank you so much! My grandfather will be very happy to have this. Jia Lei said gratefully.

Almost everyone who studies physics has read these books, and Professor Wang has prepared several sets of them at home for every child to read when they are young.

"Don't thank me, this thing should be the fare I gave you, I have too many things to move at home, and I will trouble you later. Mr. Teng said.

"No trouble! No trouble! You wait for me, I'll call 20 people to help you pack up your things, how can this kind of work be done by an intellectual like you." Jia Lei said excitedly, and then he asked the bodyguard to call 20 people from the service agency to help Mr. Teng clean up the house.

"Hey, this plum bottle is good-looking, but it's a pity that it's too big to take away. Mrs. Teng looked at the large plum bottle in her study that was more than one meter high, and said regretfully, this was returned to them when the policy was implemented above.

"Mrs. Teng, do you like this? I'll have someone pack it up and bring it to you, don't worry, I have prepared a lot of ropes and materials for moving, and the bottle will not break when I move it!" Jia Lei immediately patted his chest and promised.

"Don't bother you! Even if you can safely bring us the bottles, we won't have a place to put ......them," Mr. Teng said with a wry smile.

"It's okay, I can make an exception to give you two more rooms!" Jia Lei hurriedly said.

"I still won't bother you! Since I've been given a two-bedroom apartment above, I've decided to go there for a while. I have my own house, so why am I embarrassed to bother you, I don't have a place to put this big bottle anyway, so I might as well give it to you!" Mr. Teng shook his head and said.

"No, it's too valuable, I can't ask for it! Anyway, I have a lot of space in my house, and I can find someone to spare a room to store these antiques for you temporarily." When the houses you have assigned to come down, you can take them back. Jia Lei thought about it and said.

"That's fine!" said Mrs. Teng with a nod of her head.

"Then do it!" Mr. Teng nodded.

With the help of Jia Lei and dozens of strong laborers, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the Teng family of three finally packed up all the things they wanted to take away.

"That's all! I don't want anything over there, just take whatever you like. Mr. Teng looked at a hill piled up in the yard and said to Jia Lei that it was full of antique furniture and large furnishings that he couldn't take away.

There are even some large pieces of antique jade or something, tables, chairs, benches, screens, etc., and there are three sets of red sandalwood furniture alone!

"There are too many of these things, and I can't estimate them, so why don't I give you 500,000?" Jia Lei said after carefully circling around the pile of furniture twice.

"Is 500,000 yuan too much? The antique dealer on the side of the road will give me 50,000 yuan at most, and even if I take these furniture to the glass factory, they will give me 200,000 yuan at most. You give too much!" Mr. Teng reminded Jia Lei that at this time, rosewood furniture had not yet been speculated to sky-high prices.

"You are not ordinary rosewood furniture, I have seen it a long time ago, these furniture of your home should be the antique furniture handed down in the Ming and Qing dynasties, whether in terms of carving or materials.

Some of the ornaments and specifications on this can only be used by the court officials, and the price of these furniture is much higher than that of ordinary ones. Jia Lei said.

My grandfather was Feng Yuxiang's chief of staff, so my family's belongings were genuine antiques.

Yiran Publishing House, which was established by my parents during the Republic of China, was one of the most famous publishing houses at that time, and they were responsible for translating famous foreign literary books, and they all knew Mr. Lu Xun. Our Cheng Teng family is a scholarly family!" Mr. Teng replied proudly.

"No wonder everything in your house is so substantial! Even if these furniture are not worth much now, they will appreciate in value in the future, I think the price of 500,000 yuan is very appropriate. If you think I've given me too much money, then you can sell me this house too. Jia Lei thought about it and said.
