Chapter 4 Jade Necklace
Wang Zi's little girl took out a Tissot watch worth more than 4,000 yuan as a return gift, almost not frightening Xie Bin. Xie Bin grew up, and before he became independent, the largest amount of money he handled was only a few hundred yuan in tuition. Rashly encountered such a generous little girl, Xie Bin still didn't dare to accept it.
It's just that after Xie Bin sent back the valuable watch, he was taught a hard lesson by Wang Zi's little girl, and then returned the watch and left a message: "If you dare not accept it, hum, Miss Ben will no longer pay attention to your stinky uncle, tell you, I have a lot of such things at home, I dare to give it to you, you dare not accept it?" ”
Well, in order not to be despised by this girl, Xie Bin accepted this generous gift with a cheeky face. Of course, Xie Bin's heart is still warm, since he was a child, he hasn't received any gifts yet, Wang Zi girl is the first one.
The watch was cherished by Xie Bin, and he would take it out and wear it when he was idle, saying that Xie Bin wore a watch worth more than 4,000 yuan, and he always felt unnatural, plus his profession, so he was not very used to wearing rings, watches, bracelets, and other accessories.
The only piece of jewelry on Xie Bin's body is a silver-wrapped jade necklace. The jadeite is of average color, hexagonal fusiform, the upper end is wrapped in silver, and a silk rope is tied, according to Xie Bin's grandfather, which was worn on his body when he was picked up. In other words, this is the only item that Xie Bin's parents left by Xie Bin's side, and it is also the most valuable thing in Xie Bin's heart.
Although Xie Bin didn't say it, he was still very eager to get the affection of his parents, and he also wanted to play around his parents like other children, and he also hoped that his parents would scold him and care about him. Of course, as he grew older, Xie Bin became more and more sensible, and he took this little bit of his mind to the bottom of his heart, and almost never turned it up again.
Even in the face of the little girl Wang Zi, Xie Bin never mentioned it. Speaking of which, Xie Bin is also a weirdo, he almost never shows his mentality to other people, even the eldest sister of the landlord who has been with him for nine years, never talks about his own affairs, but he knows everything about Wang Zi, except for the little thoughts he hides deeply.
Although Wang Zi is smart, after all, she is just a little girl who does not understand the world, and she does not know that her pocket money for a period of time is enough to cover the expenses of an ordinary family for several months or even half a year. Xie Bin naturally won't say anything, children, the rebellious mentality is very heavy, the more serious you teach him, the more he will rebound.
Xie Bin didn't say this to the little girl Wang Zi again, but changed the topic, "Girl, have you forgotten something?" ”
"Huh? What's the matter? Didn't you? The little girl shook her head.
"Hmph, tell me honestly, how many points did you score!" Xie Bin knew that this girl was pretending to be stupid, in this case, there was only one possibility, the exam results were not satisfactory, otherwise, this girl would definitely ask him for credit proudly.
"This..., uncle, the grades haven't come down," the little girl began to peel.
"Nonsense, don't be relevant, you promised me last time, say it quickly, otherwise the uncle will ignore you," uh, Xie Bin moved with affection and reason, and he also carried a threat.
But the little girl Wang Zi just ate Xie Bin's set, and reluctantly reported her results one by one.
After Xie Bin read it, he sent a sinister expression, "Hehe, it's good, and it didn't meet my standards, it seems that the prize this time can be saved again." ”
The little girl cried back, "Uncle, you bully children, hum, next time if you meet the standard, I want a double prize, do you dare?" ”
"What don't you dare, not only double, uncle, I will give you an extra surprise!" Although Xie Bin's life is very simple, he is not stingy with the little girl at all, in order to let this girl study hard, Xie Bin spares no effort to get some good things to stimulate her. The effect is also obvious, the little girl who used to like to play online games and read romance novels has steadily improved her academic performance in the past two years. Of course, all this is just a little secret between the two people, and it is estimated that Wang Zi's parents don't know that their daughter can 'change her evil and return to the right' because of Xie Bin's guidance.
When Xie Bin first met Wang Zi, she was already a veteran fantasy fan, playing games on Sundays, and pulling Xie Bin to play together, reading novels in and out of school, although her academic performance cannot be said to be a mess, but she is often criticized by teachers and parents.
And Xie Bin was just in the mentality of being a good teacher, giving the little girl a little guidance, and then after the two slowly got acquainted, Xie Bin began to guide the little girl to concentrate on learning, intentionally or unintentionally. Xie Bin's grades in school were very good, but his family conditions did not allow it, so he could only fend for himself after graduating from high school. Therefore, I was particularly attentive to Wang Zi's girl, and even deliberately spent several days carving some knick-knacks that girls like as prizes to stimulate this girl's interest in learning.
You must know that Xie Bin's carving speed is very fast, and the general small ornaments, starting from the embryo beating to the completion of the repair, it is only one day, and it is only two days to paint. And the small ornaments that Xie Bin gave to Wang Zi are all carefully carved, and each one is Xie Bin's meticulous work. The reason why Xie Bin is so attentive is that he doesn't want to watch the little girl live in such a confused way, and the other is to regard her as a continuation and replacement of his school career.
"Uncle, what you say, I want a pair of Barbie dolls, a ketty cat, well, and a One Piece..."
"It's easy to say, as long as the grades meet my requirements, these are easy to say, I'm not like you, I often play tricks."
"Uncle, it's a girl's privilege to play Laipi, and it's a shame for you boys to play Laipi, so you can't accuse a beautiful woman like me of playing Laipi."
"Hey, huh? Beautiful girl? Then you'll show me a trick next time......"
"This, uncle, don't be so serious, just talk, hehe, just talk, beautiful girls talk about it......" Wang Zi said, quickly changing the topic, "Uncle, you don't know, a few boys in my class are so annoying... Uncle, our old class is bullying people again, let me write a board book... Uncle, what's wrong with a girl and a boy in my dorm room......"
Well, girls are like this, born with a gossip heart, when they meet a qualified listener like Xie Bin, Wang Zi will vent all the big and small things in a week from the screen to Xie Bin's eyes like beans, which has almost become an indispensable small program in Xie Bin and Wang Zi's lives.
Xie Bin is also willing to listen to the little girl's poor gossip, which is a little spice in the boring life.
At ten o'clock, at Xie Bin's urging, the little girl Wang Zi reluctantly turned off the computer and went to bed. Xie Bin himself is ready to rest.
Over the years, Xie Bin's life has been very regular, going to bed before 11 o'clock every night and getting up at 6 o'clock in the morning to run and exercise. The body is the capital of the revolution, and without a good body, I am afraid that Xie Bin would have been crushed by the boring carving career.
Carving is not an easy guy, the requirements for arm strength, wrist strength, finger power and even brain power are very high, and Xie Bin carved objects, never drew artwork, but directly made embryos, and sketched images in his mind while going under the knife. This is also what Xie Bin has practiced with his grandfather since he was a child. After all, at that time, in order to live, everything was simple, and the engraving process was completed as quickly as possible, and after a long time, I slowly got used to the carving that started without artwork.
Fortunately, otherwise Xie Bin's carving speed would have slowed down a lot, after all, drawing is a more laborious and laborious thing. Besides, Xie Bin's carvings are just to earn living expenses, and it is useless for you to spend half a year carving a high-level work, and it is useless if it is not recognized. What's more, Xie Bin will not design drafts.
After all, Ye Luzi is Ye Luzi, Xie Bin can write and draw, and he writes quite well with a brush, and he can also have some Chinese paintings, but only the design of this drawing has never been learned, and his grandfather has never drawn a picture when he does sculpture.
The next day, Xie Bin ate the breakfast he had made, and waited for the tricycle to come to the antique street crookedly. The vendors like them were the first, and the cleaning aunts were still on the streets, and the other shops were not open. It's not that I'm afraid of the stall being occupied, but try to do one or two more deals, although there are few people in the morning, but after all, it's Sunday, maybe when someone will patronize, some retired old men and old ladies nearby, almost every day to this place to walk around, because not far from the park next to it.
Xie Bin had just spread out the stall, but he saw that the boss of the 'Qingyun Pavilion' behind him had come early, stood up and said with a smile: "Boss Zhang, it's so early today." ”
"Hehe, I made an appointment with an old customer," Boss Zhang is in his forties, with a general's belly, not like an antique player at all, in the face of Xie Bin's greeting, Boss Zhang smiled, seemingly gentle, but with some arrogance and showing off. After all, it is indispensable to be able to afford to open an antique shop here, and it is indispensable to be worth millions, and it is normal to look down on a hawker like Xie Bin. Especially this boss just said that he had made an appointment with a customer, indicating that there was a sale. Customers who are worthy of a big boss like them to open their doors in the morning are naturally not tens of thousands of yuan in business, but in any case, they have to ask for 180,000 yuan.
Xie Bin naturally didn't care about the other party's little show-off, but made a surprised appearance, and arched his hands: "Oh, it turns out that there is a big deal, Wishing you prosperity, Wishing you prosperity!" ”
Everyone loves to listen to good words, and this boss is no exception, shaking the fat general's belly and laughing: "It's general, a few days ago, I found a Qianlong enamel garlic bottle, no, an old man heard about it, and he was anxious to want it," he paced in front of Xie Bin's stall, frowned and said: "Xiao Xie, I didn't say you, be diligent, run more to the countryside, although it is difficult to pick up leaks now, but there are still good things, like you rely on these wooden lumps, when will you make a fortune," said and shook his head regretfully.
Xie Bin grinned and said with a smile: "Without Boss Zhang's vision and luck, don't touch those things, the small business can't stand the toss, and if you match it, you can only live on the street at that time." ”
"Hehe, too," Boss Zhang nodded, saw two old men coming not far away, and threw down a sentence, "You can find me if you have something, my brother is better than you when he carries you, the customer is here, don't say it," after speaking, he greeted him from afar.
Xie Bin looked at the chubby back of the boss, and sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't want to make a fortune, but he knew that there were some things that he couldn't play, besides, with his family property and strength, if he wanted to make a fortune in the antique industry, he would either be lucky enough to go against the sky, or he would have to do something unfortunate, such as passing off fake as real and other deceptive things.
