Chapter 159: The Grandson Who Sells Words

The third watch, ask for votes!!

…… The old man frowned deeply, his mental state was not very good, he looked a little tired, he stood next to the cart frame with a cane, looking at the passers-by, always wanting to speak and stopping, as if he wanted to open his mouth and beg for something, but he always couldn't open his mouth.

The little girl is only six or seven years old, with two small braids, delicate and cute, and the clothes are relatively neat and clean, she stands on the side of the road, her face is red from the cold, she is carrying a handbag in her hand, and a pair of smart big eyes look around, looking a little anxious, and there has been mist in the eye waves, which is pitiful.

The combination of the old man and the little girl appeared near the supermarket, and it didn't look like they were begging on the street.

The passers-by around also had good intentions and would give a few dollars to the little girl, but when the little girl was about to come forward to talk and ask her uncle and aunt to help, the passers-by hurriedly left.

"Big Brother ......"

Xu Linyuan came to the cart frame, and the little girl quickly helped him get a cart, and screamed timidly, but looked back at his grandfather.

"Old man, do you have any difficulties during the New Year?"

Xu Linyuan saw that the old man couldn't open his mouth, so he took the initiative to ask.

When the little girl saw that someone finally took the initiative to ask, the mist in her eyes turned into tears and rolled down, sobbing: "Big brother, can you help me, my mother had an accident on the way home for the New Year, and now she is waiting in the hospital for surgery, but we don't have enough money......"

"How much are you missing?" Xu Linyuan asked.

"There are still 20,000 left!" After the little girl said it timidly, she was afraid that Xu Linyuan would turn around and leave, so she immediately opened the handbag and said, "Big brother, this is a piece of writing that my grandfather treasured, can you buy it......"

Seeing that Xu Linyuan was silent, the old man finally spoke at this time, and said: "Little brother, we know that you may not believe it, because this kind of thing is usually used by liars to evil people's hearts, this character is a senior gift, I have treasured it for many years, and now it is really a last resort, so I took it out and sold it to my daughter for surgery, little brother, you don't believe it, if you have a friend who understands, you can call a friend to appreciate it to know the authenticity of this word, the old man is a family, he has taught all his life, and he has never been poked in the back......"

Xu Linyuan did have this kind of doubt, an old man and a young man selling words on the street to raise money, which would cause people to be suspicious, but he intuitively felt that this old man was quite stylish, and the little girl should not be like a liar.

Although he learned the knowledge of braille painting from An Lao and Li Lao, he was still a novice and did not know much about it, but out of sympathy for this old and young, he still decided to buy the calligraphy.

So he said: "That's it, it's inconvenient on this street, you find a suitable place, I'll take a look at this painting first, if it's suitable, I'll buy it!" ”

The old man said: "Little brother, why don't you go to my house, if you have any doubts about this painting, you can come to my home at any time!" ”

Xu Linyuan thought about it, this old man wanted to invite him to his house, and he probably wanted to prove to him the sincerity of selling this calligraphy, so he said: "Okay, where is your home, it's not far away?" ”

The little girl said: "At No. 103 Songyuan Road, it's not too far from here, and the bus is six stops away!" ”

"I have a car, can you go with me?"

"This ...... Okay......" The old man hesitated, then led the little girl and followed Xu Linyuan to the parking lot, the little girl was not angry, after Xu Linyuan opened the car door, she climbed up neatly and shouted: "Grandpa, come up, I have never been in a car......"

After the old man got into the car, he looked more restrained, and after showing Xu Linyuan the way, Xu Linyuan drove to Songyuan Road.

…… Songyuan Road is also the old town of Ningzhou, and the new city is completely incomparable, most of the buildings here are very old, and the surrounding environmental facilities are relatively poor.

The old man's home is in the old state-owned textile factory community, after entering the residential building, the corridor is very narrow, and it is also a little dark, and some residents put what honeycomb coal or stove are placed at the entrance of the floor aisle, and people will touch it if they don't pay attention when they pass by.

After going up to the third floor, the old man took the key and drove the car into the house, and invited Xu Linyuan in.

As soon as Xu Linyuan entered the door, he smelled a smell of traditional Chinese medicine, the furnishings at home were very old, and the house was only fifty square meters, which seemed very narrow and crowded.

"Little Bell, go and move a chair for this big brother to sit on!"

After the old man entered the house, he asked the little girl to move a chair for Xu Linyuan, he walked to a coal stove and changed a honeycomb briquette, took out a brand new cup from the cabinet, and carried a thermos to pour water for Xu Linyuan.

"Old man, no need to pour water!"

Xu Linyuan saw that the old man was busy with his work, so he stopped him, and the little girl moved a plastic stool and said, "Big brother, sit!" ”

After Xu Linyuan sat down, the little girl asked, "Big brother, do you want to watch it now?" ”

The old man felt that Xu Linyuan was a rich man, and people might think that the house was dirty, so he didn't be more polite, so he said: "Little brother, there is a desk with a small bell in that room, you can look there!" ”

With that, he led Xu Linyuan into another room.

The room is not large, the room is neatly furnished, except for a canvas wardrobe next to it, which contains two old wooden beds, the only thing that is new is the desk next to the bed.

On the wall in front of the desk, there are several awards, as well as a painting drawn by a little girl, and a photo of a mother and daughter.

Xiaoling cleaned up the desk, and the old man took out the painting and put it flat on the desk and slowly stretched it out, the size was about the same size as the desk, there was about four square feet, and the words on it were written by Han Li, which was quite skilled, very old and spicy.

According to the fur he learned from Li Lao, Xu Linyuan focused on the use of this character, the beginning and the end are very particular, the beginning chapter, the corner chapter and the name chapter are very rigorous and measured, and it does not seem to be stamped randomly.

The edge of this character has also been framed and made into a hanging scroll, although the overall look is old, but there is no obvious trace of abrasion or damage, on the whole, this character gives Xu Linyuan the feeling that his artistic content is very high.

When the old man looked at this painting, he muttered: "Little brother, this painting is when I went to the capital in 61 years to participate in the drafting meeting of the liberal arts and education village of colleges and universities, when I was fortunate to meet Mr. Pan Tianshou, who was young at that time, and was excited to see Mr. Pan, so I asked him for this pair of words, and now I have treasured it for more than 40 years, if it were not for my daughter's accident, I really can't give up this word!" ”

Xu Linyuan was a little curious: "Uncle, what does Xiaoling's father do?" ”

As soon as the old man heard this, his expression suddenly darkened, and he sighed and said: "Alas, I am not afraid of the little brother's jokes, I found a white-eyed wolf son-in-law, I didn't talk about it outside, and I ruined the family. ”

When the old man spoke, Xu Linyuan had already scanned the Qingyuan and found out the age of this piece of paper, which was indeed more than six years old, and then through understanding the old man, he felt that this character should be true.

He originally wanted to call and ask about An Lao, but then he thought about it, no matter what, the conditions of this family are very poor, the old and the young, they have to rely on a woman to support them, it is not easy, even if this painting is fake, he will not regret buying it, at least he can help the family tide over the difficulties.

So Xu Linyuan said: "Uncle, this character is Pan Tianshou's work, and I don't know much about the specific market, but if you calculate it at this size, you can make a price, right?" ”

The old man was also a little surprised, and said in a consultative tone: "Little brother, since you don't understand the market, I don't dare to sell you so expensive, it's rare that you can trust the old man, Xiaoling's fucking medical expenses and surgery fees are about 28,000 yuan, or you give 30,000 yuan, if it's expensive, wait for Xiaoling's mother to be discharged from the hospital in the future, and then make money and return it to you, our family remembers your kindness!" ”

Xu Linyuan was a little stunned, this old man was so simple, as long as the medical expenses and surgery fees, in fact, he felt that even if it was 10,000 per square meter, it would be 40,000, if it was true, it was estimated to be even more expensive.

After thinking about it, he said: "Old man, since this is the case, then I will give you 30,000 yuan first, and after I take it for identification, if the price is higher, I will give you a part, if it is low, then it will be mine, and I will not let you return, you go back to the car with me now, I will give you cash, or I will send you directly to the hospital, don't delay the patient's operation!" ”

"Then thank you, little brother, our family will remember your kindness, by the way, I forgot to ask my little brother's surname?"

"My surname is Xu, then let's leave quickly!"

"It won't delay Xiao Xu's business, if you have something to do, you can ......get busy first," the old man hesitated.

"It's okay for the New Year, let's go......" Xu Linyuan said, and took Xiaoling's hand downstairs, Xiaoling had been watching from the side just now, and the sensible little girl said innocently: "Big brother, you are so good!" ”

Xu Linyuan smiled and pinched the cute little face, and when the old man carefully put away the word shaft and wrapped it in a cloth to follow, Xu Linyuan helped the old man and went downstairs to get into the car.

On the way, through conversation, I learned that the little girl's name is Lin Ling, and her mother's name is Lin Aiping, and she is currently in Ningzhou People's Hospital.

When he arrived at the hospital, the old man's legs and feet were inconvenient, Xu Linyuan helped to pay the operation fee and medical expenses of the patient Lin Aiping, and after handing over the remaining 2,000 cash to Uncle Lin, he simply moved a few boxes of fruits and snacks in the car to Xiaoling, so that they could celebrate the New Year...... After the matter was dealt with, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and then he drove to the supermarket to buy good things, and hurried home, just when he planned to visit Yang Lao and them in two days......
