With great effort, Lin Yi moved the two large boxes of old books he bought back to his residence.

Of course, the matter of buying books was hidden from his brother-in-law Zhao Gang, and if Zhao Gang knew that Lin Yi spent 500 yuan to buy a bunch of waste products, he would definitely be furious.

Lin Yi didn't want to hide the matter from his sister, so he told him about the fact that he made a thousand yuan from selling comics, of course, he didn't say anything about his superhuman sense of smell, only said that he thought these old books were of great value, and he could make money by selling them.

The elder sister Lin Xue has always loved Lin Yi, although she feels sorry for the five hundred yuan, but she also supports her younger brother to "start a business", of course, she really doesn't believe how much these old books can earn, as for the one thousand earned, she just thinks that he is lucky, but such luck does not necessarily come every day.

Back in his room, Lin Yi looked at the large pile of old books, happy and apprehensive.

After taking a towel to wash his face and wiping the dust on his body, Lin Yi began to sort out those old books.

First, the comic books were divided into categories.

In 1991, one edition and one printing, Hainan Publishing House 78 copies of "Dragon Ball" large set;

In 1994, one edition and one printing, a set of 24 copies of "Peacock King" by Inner Mongolia Publishing House;

In 1994, one edition and one printing, a set of 19 copies of "Youyou Baishu" by Overseas Chinese Publishing House;

In 1994, one edition and one printing, Ningxia People's Publishing House 57 copies of "Football Player" complete set.

plus some unset copies, a total of 200 copies.

……

After sorting out those comic books, Lin Yi opened the box of sketch manuscripts that were "given away for free", and following the fragrance of books, he soon found a kraft paper bag at the bottom of the thick manuscript paper.

This article is pressed under a large pile of sketch sketch paper, shabby, and not very inconspicuous, and you can't see it at all if you don't look through it carefully, which is why Dong Glasses didn't find it.

The bag is very thin, wrap the seal with thread, open it, and pour out a pile of things from it.

There was a cover that said-

"Wu Song Fights the Tiger" (original painting)

"Liu Jidian" painting

A total of "one pick up land" banners

Below is the inscription "1955 People's Fine Arts Publishing House".

……

"Is this ......" Lin Yi opened the pile of manuscripts, only to see that the manuscript was about 32 carat in size, heavy color brushwork, Wu Song carrying a whistle stick, colorful hanging tigers, and even the tiger's whiskers, pine needles in the pine forest, and flowers and plants on the stones were all clearly depicted. All in all, at first glance, this is simply the best of the paintings.

Although Lin Yi didn't have much research on the comic book manuscript, he also felt that it was a good thing, especially the faint smell of apples wafting out of the manuscript, which made people feel relaxed and comfortable.

"Maybe it's a big baby." Lin Yi became a little excited.

Just as Lin Yi was churning these things, his niece Zhao Bao'er was wearing a cute dough coat and holding a "beautiful sheep" and jumped in.

"Uncle, what is this, it's so beautiful." Zhao Baoer picked up a comic strip, tilted her little head, and looked at it with innocent eyes.

Lin Yi touched Bao'er's head with his hand and said, "This is something that my uncle has received, and it can be sold for a lot of money." ”

"A lot of money, is there so much?" Bao'er gestured a watermelon-sized circle with her hand.

"More than that."

"So many?" Bao'er gestured another circle.

"Hehe, more."

Bao'er was happy, "Can the uncle buy me jelly to eat, kindergarten Chen Jiaming eats it every day, as well as lollipops, chocolates, ......"

"Of course you can, as long as Bao'er likes it, then my uncle will buy all the delicious things in the supermarket, so that you can eat whatever you want." Zhao Bao'er chuckled, revealing her lost front teeth, "Uncle, you are not allowed to lie to me, let's pull Gougou." ”

Lin Yi smiled slightly, stretched out his little thumb, and hooked his finger with Bao'er.

Bao'er said: "Hanging on the hook, it will not change for a hundred years!" ”

Looking at Bao'er's happy appearance, Lin Yi was sad for a while, he knew that the old lady's family was not rich, and Bao'er had never eaten anything delicious, especially snacks like chocolate and jelly, which were not often eaten. Sometimes Bao'er cries in the supermarket, and the old sister uses eating tooth decay to prevaricate her, in fact, like what Xizhilang, Snickers are ridiculously expensive, often not big or dozens, and the brother-in-law's labor is only forty or fifty a day, and he bought food for Bao'er, and the whole family has to drink the northwest wind.

"Uncle, I'm sleepy, can you tell me a bedtime story - the 'Snow White Becomes a Witch' you told me yesterday is very good, can you tell me it again?" Bao'er yawned and rubbed her eyes.

Lin Yi came back to his senses, picked up Bao'er and put it on his lap, and said, "Of course you can, but you are not allowed to play like last night, and refuse to sleep after listening to the story." ”

"Giggles, don't worry, Uncle Xiao, Bao'er won't, Bao'er is a good child, and a good child is very obedient." The little girl buried her head in Lin Yi's arms and rubbed her chin with her little face.

Lin Yi smiled, "Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess named Snow White......

These stories of deceiving children are all made up by Lin Yi, most of them are made up wherever they are, so the stories told tonight are different from last night in many places, Bao'er listened carefully, every time she talked about a different place, she asked why it was like this, and what she told last night was not like this, so that Lin Yi had to try his best to lie, and the story was told, which made him sweat profusely.

finally put the little girl Bao'er to sleep, Lin Yi picked her up and put her back in his room.

Although the little girl's room is simple but full of innocence, what plush toys, dolls, and the walls are posted with pictures and literacy, as well as pinyin letters-

Lin Yi put the little girl on the bed, covered the quilt, and was about to leave, but he heard someone outside open the door, and knew that it was his brother-in-law Zhao Gang who came back. Lin Yi didn't want to meet him, so he stayed in Bao'er's room for the time being.

The sound of brother-in-law Zhao Gang and elder sister Lin Xue talking came from outside.

"Why, came back so early today?" This is the voice of the old sister Lin Xue.

"The efficiency of the factory is not good, and the new alcohol cannot be sold." Zhao Gang said, "Now the liquor and beer are not easy to sell, there are too many brands, and our local brands can't do foreign, so we rely on them to ask for alcohol. ”

Zhao Gang sighed, poured a cup of tea and drank it.

"Where's Bao'er, are you asleep?"

"Sleep, I was pestering his uncle to tell a story just now."

Hearing Lin Yi, Zhao Gang frowned, "He hasn't found a job yet?" ”

"Soon, I heard him say that he has been busy with some business recently, and maybe he can make some money." The elder sister Zhao Xue couldn't help but say it.

"He's in business?" Zhao Gang sneered, "Just like him, he won't pay for his death!" By the way, where does he get the money for his business? You can't give it to him, right? "The tone is not good.

"How can I have money, since I secretly gave three hundred yuan and was reprimanded by you last time, you have put away all the big money, and I don't know where to put the passbook." Lin Xue was full of grievances, feeling that her husband was too picky, how to say that it was also her own brother.

Zhao Gang snorted, "You are embarrassed to say that the house we live in now is rented by someone else, and this building is about to be demolished, and the landlord is in a hurry to collect compensation, so it's not bad if he didn't drive us away immediately...... The money on that fold is all life-saving money, the money I have worked so hard to save for so many years to buy a house......"

"Just your thirty or forty thousand yuan is enough to buy!" Lin Xue couldn't help but say, "Now the house price is as low as 2,000 square meters, and it costs more than 200,000 yuan for a three-bedroom and a living room, and yours is only enough to pay a fraction." ”

", wages don't rise as fast as housing prices, and I can't help it!" Zhao Gang was a little deflated.

Seeing her husband like this, Lin Xue hurriedly said: "I can't say that, when Bao'er grows up, I will also find a job, and earn at least 1,000 yuan a month after going to work, and our salaries will add up, you can pay a down payment first, and then slowly repay the loan - in short, it is not easy to settle down here, fortunately, you and I can endure hardships." ”

"If it weren't for Bao'er, it would be better to go to school here, I really want to go back to the county, at least there is still an old house for us, so I don't have to send people under the fence to live this kind of hard life." Lin Xue was a little miserable.

She and Zhao Gang are both from the county, they came to work in this metropolis, lived, had no car, no house, and no good opportunities, so they could only survive by enduring hardships and standing hard work, and withstanding pressure.

A qiē is for the children, the quality of teaching in the county is not as good as here, not to mention anything else, just this kindergarten, the county can not compare, although the fee is more expensive, but it is worth it.

Hearing his wife say this, Zhao Gang, a man, was a little choked, what is he messing up after so many years.

Listening to the sighing sound from outside, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh softly, and then looked at Zhao Bao'er lying on the bed, carefree, not knowing the hardships of the family, at the moment he was sleeping with a smiling face, his fingers in his mouth, as if he was eating chocolate in his dream.
