Liu Yuan also thought so, Lao Qian gritted his teeth and made a phone call, and after a while, a slightly fat middle-aged woman came over happily, holding a jade pendant in her hand, and when she saw Lao Qian, she came over.

"Oh, mother-in-law, what are you doing here, people are here." Seeing the woman walking next to him, Lao Qian's face was not much better, and the surrounding villagers laughed out loud when they saw it.

The jade pendant is not unusual, but in ancient times, it was generally worn by the children of rich families, and the jade pendant brought by the woman was much more ordinary, Zhang Erhe shook his head for a while, touched it on his hand, and looked at the sun a few times, the thing is not like jade, but has some plastic texture, where is this jade? It is clear that plastic products can be seen everywhere on the stalls, but the density is relatively large, and it sinks a lot more than plastic.

"Old horse, how much is this thing worth?" At this time, Lao Qian also came over and asked nervously.

Zhang Erhe was about to answer, but at this moment, he was stopped by Liu Yuan and said, "Uncle Qian, you can make a price for this thing." Originally, Zhang Erhe wanted to raise the price to say that this thing was accepted, but when he saw Liu Yuan speak, he sat aside and stopped talking, and when it came to antiques, he knew that he was not as good as Liu Yuan.

The old money is in trouble, in fact, everyone who sees this thing knows that it will not be a good thing, saying that it is an ancestral thing, in fact, it is also nonsense, but it was played by someone at the temple fair in the early years, and it cost hundreds of yuan to buy the pit goods, and anyone who knows a little about jade knows the truth of this thing, and it has been hanging in front of his van all these years, and it is used as a peace charm, which makes him offer, which is really difficult for him.

However, when the woman next to her heard that she could still ask for a price, she immediately pushed the old money aside with some excitement and said, "One thousand!" Let's say that we can only say more, not less. Completely ignoring the resentment of the old money beside him.

"You, what do you know, get out of the way!" Lao Qian finally couldn't bear it, and the 20,000 yuan he got from Zhang Erhe had all been handed over last night.

"Alas, Uncle Qian, this should be an aunt, right? Okay, since my aunt has spoken, then I will naturally agree, but this thing is not good for a thousand. ”

"Then tell me how much you little doll will give?"

"Ten thousand!"

The day's collection came to an end in this last transaction, Lao Qian said that he couldn't say anything, he had to let Zhang Erhe and the two go to his own home, although he was the village party secretary, but he was also a person in this village, this face naturally couldn't be lost, and the jade pendant hanging in the car was bought by someone else for 10,000 yuan, if only more than half of it could buy an identical van.

"Old Ma, you can't go, stay at my house today, you can't say anything, I've made up your friend!"

couldn't resist Lao Qian's invitation, and Liu Yuan was also very happy to go to Lao Qian's house as a guest, so the two followed Lao Qian and his wife home in the evening.

The home is not big, the square courtyard, the tile stone roof, the scene of the countryside in the mountains, there is no one else in the family, listen to what Lao Qian said, the two babies are studying in the big city, one is a junior and one is a freshman, and it is a man and a woman.

"Mother-in-law, hurry up and prepare wine and food, the more the better!" When he returned home, Lao Qian commanded loudly, and the anger in his heart could be heard, and the woman over there responded with a smile that everything was covered tonight.

What are the characteristics of Chongqing? That's right, it's hot pot, what are the characteristics of hot pot? That is spicy, different from Sichuan's spicy and spicy, Chongqing due to the geographical location, as well as the climate, the meaning of spicy food is much stronger.

After a busy time, the three of them sat around the fire, and Lao Qian's wife stood on one side very awkwardly, today Lao Qian had a very unfriendly attitude towards her, and he still knew it.

"Auntie, sit down too." Liu Yuan smiled and moved back a chair from the side.

"That's right, sister-in-law, don't stand stupidly, sit down together." Zhang Erhe also persuaded beside him, and Lao Qian snorted heavily and did not answer, the woman laughed embarrassedly twice, Xu also felt that she was too much, and her face was slightly red.

"Brother Ma, I'm really sorry, I'll return the money to you later." Lao Qian Xu felt that he was at a loss, and drank a sip of spirits, which was an apology between men.

When the woman heard Lao Qian say this, she instantly turned her face and glared at Lao Qian, but when Lao Qian slapped the table, the woman was so frightened that she didn't dare to squeak anymore.

"Old money, how can you be like this, we spend money on your things, it's right, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, my nephew said it's worth as much as it is, and you don't have to have a pimple in your heart." Zhang Erhe said, glancing at Liu Yuan, how could Liu Yuan not know what he meant, took the words, and continued: "Uncle Qian, this is your fault, the transaction is justified, we are willing to pay so much money It is our business, since the deal is settled, what is the point of talking about this matter again?" Could it be that you regret it? ”

After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he glanced at the woman, and then said: "Auntie, tomorrow we have to rely on your publicity, we won't stay long, and we will leave when the road is opened." ”

The woman heard that Liu Yuan had no intention of regretting it at all, and she was also relieved, and said with a smile: "Little brother, I love to hear what you say, no problem, I will go out to give you publicity in a while, and I guarantee that there will be a lot of people coming tomorrow." ”

Liu Yuan did not doubt her ability at all, and seeing that Zhang Erhe and the two had no intention of blaming, Lao Qian was relieved, and after a while, the woman stood up and went out.

"Old Ma, don't look at my mother-in-law's greed for money, she is actually in trouble, just don't mind." Zhang Erhe and the two listened quietly to the chatter of the old money, and the more they listened, the more they felt that this person was not as greedy for money as they thought yesterday.

"You don't know, in a mountain village like ours with no future, the officials are not as good as some children who go out to work, not only me, but even several villages near us are the same, on the surface, they are officials, and they have a good life, but their own hardships, they know that the salary of a thousand yuan a month, the scenery is a fart, the two babies have to study, the tuition can't be paid, and the big baby has to go to graduate school, this relative and friend have borrowed it all over again, what kind of future can they have." The more Lao Qian talked, the more depressed he became.

In the end, Zhang Erhe and Liu Yuan already knew why Lao Qian was like this, and who said that the officials were greedy for money? Lao Qian has been a village official in the village all his life, and even the house in the whole village can only belong to the medium, and in a place like this where the area is not very good, there is no industry, that is, people often say that it is a poor and remote place, there are too many places like this all over the country, everyone has to live, even they are no exception.

Liu Yuan and both of them chose to remain silent, this situation is not a minority in the country, especially the village officials in this poor township, to put it bluntly, for most people, even if it is given for nothing, few people are willing to do it, the reason is very simple, live for the sake of living.
