Chapter 42: Mom Doing Good Deeds
The next day, Li Yi was about to send his parents to a blood test, but before going out, his mother suddenly asked:
"Xiaoyi, didn't you say you wanted to go to Hong Kong when you just came back? It just so happens that there is nothing to do today, so let's go and get the Hong Kong and Macao pass. ”
Li Yi patted his head and really forgot about it, not only did he forget about it, but he also forgot about the "Untitled" painting that was suspected to be worth more than 200 million!
Speaking of which, he really doesn't blame him, because in Yanjing, it was a helpless environment, not only did he suddenly change to a new house, but there was also such a thing of robbing the house, which made him extremely insecure. But as soon as he got home, not to mention that so many things had happened in the past few days, it was just this environment, and it was impossible for him to have thoughts like insecurity, and it was normal to forget about it.
But at this moment, my mother mentioned this problem, but he didn't want to go to Hong Kong a little, first, he was not short of money, and second, Hong Kong didn't seem to be very friendly to mainland tourists during this period of time...... Phew, anyway, those auction agencies have branches in Yan Kyoto, so you can find them when the time comes.
But the Hong Kong and Macao pass still has to be done, so that you can go when you want to go in the future, and since you want to do it, you might as well do it with your passport by the way.
When I took out my ID card, I couldn't do it if I wanted to, because the ID card was still in Yanjing, but the household registration could not be left in Yanjing, so I simply settled down in my hometown today.
When waiting for the blood drawing, Li's mother answered a phone call, and when she went to apply for a household registration after the blood drawing, Li's mother looked at the building outside the window and said to Li Yi:
"Xiaoyi, are you okay Friday afternoon? It's okay to go shopping with my mother, it's a change of season, buy a dress for both of you to wear. ”
"Mom, you've been on leave for two days, and you won't go to work on Friday?"
"I don't have any money to go to work, and I'm asking your dad to find someone to do the internal retirement in the past two days! Hey, Xiaoyi, Mom asks you a question, when are you going to find a partner? Mom is waiting to help you watch the baby! ”
"Looking for a partner? Early, right? It's nothing now......"
"What's nothing? We are not short of money, houses, and cars! I tell you, except for a few of you who are in college, everyone else in the factory who is about the same age as you are married......"
After a while, the mother got satisfactory information, one is that her son has no favorite object, and the other is that she has no objection to taking Yanjing at home.
When they went to the Hukou Department of the Public Security Bureau, they found that there was still a missing certificate from the neighborhood committee, so the three of them had no choice but to return home.
Li's father went to work, and Li's mother followed her son to complete the certificate and went to the city again. The household registration is done, but the new ID card will have to wait for at least half a month, plus the 11th National Day holiday, it would be good if Li Yi could get it before returning to Yanjing at the end of October.
"Let's go, take my mother to visit the antique shop, and eat in the city at noon, regardless of your father's old thing!"
Visiting an antique shop? Li Yi glanced at his mother strangely, and understood a little in his heart that his mother was most likely stimulated by his father. But why visit an antique shop instead of gambling on stones?
"Hey, Xiaoyi, do you say that you can pick up a big leak, it's the kind worth tens of millions of dollars? I remember watching a few episodes of those treasure hunts, treasure appreciation and other columns, and I thought those things were quite expensive at the time, but now they seem to be average. ”
Li Yi smiled,
"Mom, that's your old man's vision! Also, how can you, a rich woman with a net worth of tens of millions, think that kind of thing that is only a few hundred thousand is expensive? ”
"Rich woman? Let's wait until I really pick up the leak......"
Li Yi suddenly realized that the reason why my mother chose to visit the antique shop to pick up leaks instead of gambling stones was that she was not confident that she could find a piece of material that could match her father! In fact, don't talk about her, even if Li Yi travels all over the country, he doesn't have the confidence to find another piece of such a magical semi-gambling material, but if you talk about money alone, there should still be opportunities.
Since Mom wants to shop, let's go shopping! Antique shops are not only found in Yangnan Antique Street, although most of the jade shops on Wolong Road are there, it is still very easy to find a few that sell antiques.
Coming to Wollongong, Li Yi looked at the former residence of Zhuge who had only been to the spring outing in elementary school, and felt a little emotional, in a blink of an eye, so many years have passed.
There is a side street to the south of the Wollongong gate, and most of the streets are engaged in jade business, including several antique shops. Li Yi took his mother to walk around one by one, and after a while, after seeing the three, he found nothing.
"That's what you say you're going to do in the future? Xiaoyi, why do I always feel unsafe, this doesn't seem to be a legitimate profession. ”
"I'm sure I'm not going to be able to do this in the future, I don't bother me if they go around like this every day. In the future, I should go to a pawn shop or an auction house as an appraiser, and I am the kind of antique that I collect from an office appraisal company, so don't worry about it. ”
"Am I not worried about it? There are three of them, and I haven't seen a single leak......"
I'll go, it turns out that your old man is worried about this! It's a pity that picking up leaks not only depends on ability, but also luck.
The fourth store is not small, but it is chaotic like a grocery store, Li Yi has no interest in going in at the door, but he can see his mother striding forward, so he has no choice but to follow behind.
In fact, there is almost no shopping for antique shops like this in tourist areas, because the owner is probably not in the antique industry, he just uses antiques as a gimmick to do tourism business. For example, what Zhang Heng seismograph is placed in this store, Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" ancient books, Zhuge Liang's "Teacher Table" before and after, which of these are antiques, are they clearly tourist souvenirs?
Mama Li was a little disappointed, and suddenly saw a shabby dressed lady walking into the store, kneeling down for the boss from a distance,
"Boss, you can do it, just accept this painting, the child is still waiting for money in the hospital to save his life......"
The boss shook his head and walked out from behind the counter with a helpless face.
"Auntie, didn't I give you fifty yuan just now? I really can't help you, can you try it out somewhere else? ”
Seeing the tourists in the store talking about it, the boss helplessly explained to everyone that the eldest lady's youngest son was waiting for surgery in the hospital, and he was short of 20,000 yuan, so he took out the family heirloom and sold it.
"You all know antiques, if any of you have good eyesight, help the eldest lady to see, if the painting in her hand is really a treasure, you can spend some money to buy it, but also do a good deed, accumulate some yin virtue."
The tourists in the store have exchanged their heads and ears,
"It's not going to be a joint effort to scam money, is it? Is there such a coincidence? ”
"Why do you care so much, take a look, if it's really a good thing, 20,000 yuan is not expensive, and if the thing is fake, you should just have fun?"
"It's just that the boss doesn't accept it, most of it is fake."
Mama Li looked around and saw that the eldest lady was still kneeling there, so she went over to help her up and said:
"Eldest sister, you heard what the boss also said, you just take out the things and take a look, so many people, maybe someone really knows your baby, so your problem will be solved?"
The eldest lady stood up tremblingly and opened the black cloth roll in her arms, revealing a scroll. Carefully opened, there is a longitudinal axis of Guanyin, which looks very old, and the lower end is a little black and yellow, as if it has been smoked.
Everyone stepped forward to watch, Li's mother glanced at her son and looked back, Li Yi shook his head. Li's mother retreated to her son's side in disappointment, lowering her head and not knowing what she was thinking.
"It looks like it's printed, right? This deceptive method is also ridiculous! ”
"Don't talk nonsense, maybe my aunt was also deceived."
"Hmph, this thing looks like it's hanging in the house of people who worship Buddha, haven't you noticed that it's dark down there? It was smoked with incense. ”
Seeing that everyone was scattered after a glance, and hearing everyone's discussions, the eldest lady's eyes were full of disappointment, and she silently rolled up the statue of Guanyin.
At this time, Mama Li suddenly walked up, not too dirty, and grabbed the eldest mother's arm,
"Eldest sister, you come with me, and I'll find someone to solve your problem."
When she went out, Li's mother asked her for the address of the hospital, and asked Li Yi to drive to the hospital quickly.
"Our family used to be poor, but I was poor. Now that you are taking tens of millions of dollars home, I am not steady. Let's go to the hospital to see, if what the eldest sister said is true, I will help her, which can be regarded as doing good deeds and helping your old Li family accumulate yin virtue! ”
