The next time.

Because I studied a few programs on Youku Video last night to talk about collections, I got up from bed at half past eight in the morning, put on my clothes and went out to take a look, and found that Aunt Zou went to work in Liuli Factory, and my mother and father went to the unit without saying hello to me, uh, maybe I didn't hear it. All that was left on the table in the living room of the North House was a cold egg and a bowl of slimy millet porridge. I shrugged my shoulders, turned the millet porridge in the microwave a few times, peeled the eggs and bubbled them in the porridge, and made do to fill my belly.

I have 1.8 million now, what do I do next?

Every time I think of the balance number in the bank card, my heart can't help but churn, this is not a small amount, I can buy a suite.

After breakfast, I took out a black notepad and flipped through it.

Go for this? No, that person doesn't seem to have arrived in Yanjing yet, and it will take another half a month.

Go to that? No, I remember it was mid-September.

From the beginning to the end, I didn't find a suitable one, put down the book for the time being, I rubbed my temples and meditated, suddenly, I didn't recall the leakage incident, I remembered a thing I had considered a few days ago. The duck's beak walnut time, the Yuan blue and white jar time, also wrapped this time this time of the antiques, were almost discovered by my parents, in the future, I am bound to collect more antiques, every time to take home is very inconvenient, in case I encounter a bigger than them things, in case it is really discovered by my mother or neighbors, I can no longer hide the matter of secretly playing with the collection, and it will completely disrupt my plan.

Well, should I rent a house? Find a small one, a few thousand yuan can be rented for a month, and it is not expensive?

Thinking of this, I nodded to myself, grabbed my phone and wallet and stuffed it into my pocket, walked out of the courtyard, and walked all the way east.

Most of the bungalows in the west of my house, that is, in the area of the Peace Gate, have been demolished, and only the east side has been protected and will not be demolished in a few years.

"Yo, Xiaojing, why are you going?"

There is a person under the telephone pole at the mouth of the alley in front of me who calls me, it is Uncle Sun, a 50-year-old player, an old neighbor, and my parents have a good relationship, and sometimes they will come to the house to hang out and chat. At this time, he was half-squatting on the maza, holding a cricket jar in one hand, and a spy in the other hand dangling between his index and middle fingers.

These are the top players in our alley row, don't look at the age, but the spirit is younger than the young.

Kneading walnuts in spring, fighting crickets in summer, rubbing gourds in autumn, and playing with gnats in winter, anyway, there is always something they can play.

No, a few people are fighting crickets again.

Uncle Sun beckoned to me with a smile and asked me to come over, "Have you changed the crickets this year?" ”

"No, I haven't played in recent years." I played it when I was in junior high school, but I rarely touched it when I went to college, "It's too expensive, a few hundred or thousand, it doesn't make much sense." ”

Uncle Sun nodded: "Yes, now Yanjing can't catch good insects, and they all have to spend money to buy them, but well, it can't be said that it's meaningless, hehe, this cricket can also make money, Xiaojing, how about it?" In a few days, I'll take you to Beicheng to open your eyes? ”

I understand what he means, Uncle Sun has gambled on crickets, and he knows very well about things in the circle, before he was reborn, that is, almost ten days later, I also heard him tell a lot of anecdotes about gambling crickets as a child, and I also know that there is a so-called "victory in a hundred battles" Crickets in the circle to kill all sides, however, I don't want to make money from this, after all, it is a crime, of course I will be far away," ...... If I don't go, my mother won't let me. ”

Seeing that Uncle Sun and the others were pinching for a while, I said goodbye and left, and went to the bungalow area far away from home to the east to ask if anyone wanted to rent a house.

Ask about it, no.

Ask the family, and there isn't.

I only knew how difficult it was to find a house with Yanjing, so I had no choice but to go home and check the rental information on the Internet.

All intermediaries, only Baidu's "Bungalow" post bar has a few scattered posts for rent.

I shook my head, opened QQ casually and glanced at it, well, Jasper's avatar is lit. She asked a friend to help me identify antiques, I gave her advice on stocks, and gradually got in touch, and I quickly became acquainted with her, but Jasper's surname is probably the kind of indifferent type that doesn't care about people, such as when we are both online, if I don't send her a message first, she will never pay attention to me first.

I double-clicked on her profile picture, clicked on the dialog box, and typed: Didn't go to work today?

After a few seconds, two words popped out of Jasper's head: rest.

Me: Oh, by the way, you're also from Yanjing, right? Do you know who has a vacant house to rent? I don't want to find an intermediary, there are scammers in it, and I have to pay an intermediary fee or something, it's not cost-effective, well, it's best to have a bungalow courtyard, the house is not too big, seven meters or eight meters is no problem.

Jasper: I don't know.

Me: Oh, what are you doing? What about stocks?

Every time she talks about the topic she is interested in, Biyu has a little more words: Well, look at the market, I want to make a short-term, I just bought a pharmaceutical stock yesterday, and the opening trend is not bad today, and I will sell it when the fee comes out.

She also bets on crickets?

It's the first time I've seen a woman with the surname of Jasper, and it's rare for a woman to like this.

Uh, she can't be a man, right? QQ information is written blindly?

I shuddered, and said tentatively: Football betting is okay, after all, it is legal, gambling on crickets is a little, uh, are you married? Your husband plays this too?

Jasper: No. After a while, she sent another sentence: Whether it is legal or not, support the bold and starve the cowardly.

I clicked on the QQ expression and sent a small picture of sweating: Then you have to be careful when choosing crickets, don't just look at the head, I know that a cricket is only seven centimeters in weight, but it can beat the Shandong insect in eight centimeters when it is pinched, what is the color of the head, the cry of the wings, the shape of the teeth, and the people who really know how to observe the good and bad from this.

Jasper: You also play with crickets? Is there a good one? Recommend one to me.

It's okay if she's just playing, but when it comes to gambling, I naturally can't recommend it to her, what if something goes wrong?

Me: I don't play anymore, but the real good worms still have to go to Shandong to get them themselves.

Biyu: If it weren't for my work and I couldn't leave, I would have gone to Shandong the month before, well, you know a lot, how old are you?

This was the first time we had talked about a personal topic, and I tapped on the keyboard: 22, what about you?

Jasper: Bigger than you.

Khan, I didn't know you were older than me, I was asking you how old you were. However, it is said that a woman's age is a secret, so I naturally didn't want to ask about it, but sent it in a different way: You should talk to someone, right? When are you going to get married?

Jasper: I've always wanted to talk about it, but it's hard to find.

Me: Won't you? Are you so rich? How can it be difficult to find?

After typing this line, I felt that something was slightly inappropriate, so I added: Uh, I don't mean anything else, just ask casually.

Biyu: It's been the time to have money, hundreds of thousands of dollars were filmed out, gambling or playing cards, never blinked an eye, but now, my father's company is bankrupt, most of the deposits have been repaid, and even a lot of debts have not been paid off, in this case, who do you say will follow me? In these years, people are in power.

In this way, I said why is Jasper so keen on gambling, it turns out that he wants to pay off the arrears.

Alas, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and no one is easier than the other. After thinking about it, I suggested: Don't bother me, but gambling is too risky, and if you don't do it well, you will lose all your money, and if you don't have the principal, how will you repay the money at that time? I think it's safer to invest in business, didn't your family also do business before? It should be fine, right?

Jasper: I offended everyone at the beginning, but now that my family is in decline, everyone wants to fall into the well, how can we make a comeback? Don't talk about this, what about you, it's when you're young, why didn't you talk about a girlfriend at school?

I smiled wryly: no one looked down on me, so I didn't talk about it.

Biyu: You're still young, don't worry, okay, let's talk about it first, the stock has just been sold, it's not bad, make some money back from the money I lost last week, well, I have to go to the chess and card room to play mahjong for a while, and talk about it when I have time.

I chose a "bye-bye" QQ emoji.

Jasper: You just asked to rent a house, didn't you? I don't know elsewhere, but there should be a vacant room near Niu Street or Xisi, you can ask, goodbye.

Me: Thank you, goodbye.

Cow Street or West Four? It's not very far from my house, well, you can go and see it.

I took out a can of yogurt from the refrigerator and drank it clean, I wiped my mouth, picked up the bus card and walked out of the courtyard.

Well, go to Xisi or Niujie first? Cow Street, it's good to take a car over there, and you can get there in one trip.

Suddenly, I paused, slowed down my pace subconsciously, and blinked my eyes a little distracted: "Niu Street...... Cow Street ...... Cow Street ......"

That's right!

It's Cow Street!

A long-lost message came to my mind!

I remember that two months later, on the National Day of October, my parents and I were having dinner at my grandmother's house, and the TV program suddenly dialed a very jealous news, saying that Ms. Wang, who lives near Niujie, tried to dig with her family because she had heard that others had dug up treasures buried in the soil during the Cultural Revolution at home, and as a result, she really dug up a box of things in her old house, which was very precious. Later, Ms. Wang also appeared on camera, and the reporter asked her if the things were left over from her grandfather's generation or earlier, and Ms. Wang of course admitted it, but the rest of the details were not revealed.

In my memory, at that time, my mother and my grandmother also had the idea of digging up my house, but in the end, my father stopped me and didn't let my mother mess around.

Cow Street ...... The treasure in the old house...... It suddenly dawned on my eyes, at this time, Ms. Wang should not have excavated yet!
