Chapter Forty-Six: Wish-fulfilled

Uncle Wu patted his head when he heard this: "I blame me for this, I've been really busy lately, and I went out some time ago, you go back and tell your grandfather that I have time, go and see him as soon as possible." ”

Li Beibei smiled and said: "Hehe, Uncle Wu, don't take it seriously, my grandfather is like that, he likes to be lively when he is older, and he doesn't want to think about it, when I was a child, he still looked like a living person should not enter, and my uncle and aunt were not very close to him, and now it looks like this, I think it was all caused by him back then." ”

Uncle Wu scolded with a smile: "You kid, no big or small, how can you say that about your grandfather, be careful when I tell him one day." ”

"Uncle Wu, don't!"

When Li Beibei heard Uncle Wu say this, she was coquettish, and Chu Chen, who looked like this, was speechless for a while. However, he didn't know that his appearance was seen by the sharp-eyed Li Beibei, which caused her to be very dissatisfied, thinking, why is this person so annoying! So she turned her mind and said:

"By the way, Uncle Wu, my grandfather's eightieth birthday didn't invite you, now I will officially inform you, please be sure to come then, and this little Chu brother, you will also go with you then." Brother Xiao Chu, since you are so good at antiques, it is not good to leave empty-handed, the gift must match your knowledge. ”

When Chu Chen heard this, he was a little dumbfounded, it's nothing to go to celebrate his birthday by himself, and it's nothing to bring a gift, but he also has to match the gift of his knowledge, could it be that her intention is to let me send a valuable antique? They don't have a particularly intimate relationship, this kind of request is completely unreasonable, this woman is really a little unreasonable.

I'm not so stupid, and when the time comes, I can just choose a random gift.

Uncle Wu didn't care about their little Jiujiu, and said with a smile: "You kid, you're really lazy to death, and it's not a wedding banquet, you need to be notified a few months ago, do you officially go to Uncle Wu's house to notify you when you arrive, can you still lose a piece of meat on your body, or are you still thinking about the things of the year?" ”

This point, in fact, was really said by Uncle Wu. Li Beibei was indeed still haunted by that joke back then, and for her, the ugliness was so big that now whenever she recalls that scene, she still itches her hateful teeth for Wu. So after listening to what Uncle Wu said, she blushed a little and spoke hesitantly.

Fortunately, at this time, Liu Qinshu walked out of the house, and Li Beibei hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Aunt Shu, has Grandpa Liu settled down?" I heard that the elderly have backache, which is a lack of calcium, and you usually supplement him in this regard, which should be useful. ”

Seeing this, Liu Qinshu felt a little strange, when did Li Beibei become so careful, could it be regarded as growing up? So she smiled and said, "Beibei, I didn't expect you to know how to care about people, it seems that you are about to grow up." ”

After Li Beibei heard this, she said coquettishly: "What's the matter, people have always been very concerned about whether Liu Lao is good or not, Aunt Shu, when you say this, it seems that I was a child before." ”

"Okay, okay, it's Aunt Shu who said it wrong."

After Liu Qinshu joked, he said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, let's sign the contract, when the old man entered the house, he was still talking about your things." ”

"Hey!"

Chu Chen patted his head, "Why didn't I think of reminding Liu Lao just now and letting him take it." ”

Liu Qinshu said with a smile: "It's not your fault, even if it has been negotiated, but if the deal is not completed, my father will not take it, this is his matter of principle." ”

Liu Lao's insistence made Chu Chen sigh very much, the older generation like them often have certain principles and beliefs in their hearts, and they have always adhered to them in their daily work and life, which is most worthy of his admiration and learning.

Nowadays, some people don't even have the bottom line of being a human being for the sake of money and so-called hobbies, which has to make people wonder whether it is the progress of civilization or regression.

"Well, the transfer agreement is here, and I have to trouble Ziping and Beibei to be a middleman." Liu Qinshu handed the contract to Chu Chen as he spoke.

Chu Chen was already very familiar with this kind of agreement, and after a brief look, he signed his name, and after that, Uncle Wu and others also signed their names with the witnesses.

However, the bank was closed today, and the transfer could not be completed, so Liu Qinshu issued a check for Chu Chen, and such a million-level transaction was completed quickly and simply, which made Chu Chen sigh, this money is really easy to come.

After that, Liu Qinshu smiled and said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, my father told me just now that if you have time, you can come to see him from time to time." ”

"Really?!"

Chu Chen didn't expect that his wish would be fulfilled in this way, Liu Lao could accept him, and it would undoubtedly be of great help to his development in the antique industry, which made him a little excited for a while and didn't know what to say, so he could only express his gratitude to Liu Qinshu again and again.

Seeing this, Uncle Wu was also happy for him on the side, and it was both gratifying and proud to be able to watch the younger generations grow up step by step.

And Li Beibei was very envious and jealous when she saw this, although she was familiar with Liu Lao, she could only come to Liu's hometown occasionally. This time, she was able to come to Liu Lao for identification, and she came here because of her grandfather's birthday, seeing that Chu Chen came over for the first time, she had such treatment, how could she not be blushing.

Liu Qinshu smiled faintly: "Xiao Chu, don't thank me, if you want to thank you, thank you for your own knowledge, otherwise my father won't look down on you, don't you say?" ”

Seeing Chu Chen's smirk, Uncle Wu smiled and said, "Qin Shu, since everything is done, then we will leave." ”

"Haode, you remember to come and play sometimes." …………

After coming out of Liu Lao's residence, Li Beibei sent them straight home because she had a car.

"Beibei, it's almost noon, why don't you come to my house for a light meal before leaving." Uncle Wu proposed after getting out of the car.

Li Beibei said with a smile: "No need, there are still things at home today, let's trouble next time." ”

"Okay, be careful on your way." When Uncle Wu heard her say this, he didn't force it.

"Hmm!"

After Li Beibei answered, she turned to Chu Chen and said, "Brother Xiao Chu, I heard that you are very good at kung fu, then we will compare and contrast when we have time, and I will call you when the time and place are set, let's talk about it, don't play tricks!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Chu Chen didn't have time to answer, so she drove away.

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen really couldn't cry or laugh, this woman is really too domineering, she doesn't give others a chance to refuse at all, her kind of character, no wonder she will be hated by Wu Ke, let alone Wu Ke, even he himself can't stand it.

"This girl, it seems that Xiao Ke's dissatisfaction has been transferred to you, but Xiao Ke and you will become a family in the future, you just work hard, let her vent, but be careful not to let yourself get hurt, otherwise Xiao Ke will not be able to spare me." Seeing this, Uncle Wu joked again.

Chu Chen said with a smile and a smile: "Uncle Wu, you are here again!" But it doesn't matter if you try to compete with her, but I'm not happy to let me just defend passively, and I believe Xiao Ke won't agree. ”

"Okay, you just need to remember when you arrive, don't beat her too miserably, and our old Wu family will not look good at that time." Uncle Wu said with a smile, he is still quite confident in Chu Chen's skills, I remember that not long after Chu Chen came to the capital, he met two ** at a time, and at that time, he beat people down in three or two strokes, not to mention that now he has broken through.

Then Uncle Wu said: "Xiaochen, since Liu Lao accepted you, then you have to work harder in your studies, and you can't be complacent because of this, you must know that Liu Lao has very high requirements for people."

Seeing Chu Chen nodding in agreement, he continued, "Do you have a meal at noon today?" If not, come to my house today to deal with two mouthfuls, and we can drink two cups of haode. ”

"Okay, I haven't tasted my aunt's craft for a long time, and I want to have a mouth addiction today, but, Uncle Wu, I said that you are not greedy for me to give you Moutai that day, so I said that I want to drink two cups." Chu Chen said with a smile.

"You kid!"

Uncle Wu went up and gave him a fried chestnut with sugar, "Am I so unbearable, I am like a drunkard, there is a kind ......of you don't drink it for a while."

The two of them talked and laughed and walked into the house.

**********************************************

In the afternoon, Chu Chen didn't have anything to do, so he wanted to go shopping in Nancheng, on the one hand, to see if there were any calligraphy and painting works that Zhao Qirui would be satisfied with, and on the other hand, he happened to go to an acquaintance to get some goods.

Familiar people come to the Baoguo Temple in the south of the city, which is now an emerging cultural market in the capital. In fact, as early as the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Baoguo Temple was the most famous book market in Beijing, which was many years earlier than another famous cultural street in Beijing, Liulichang Book Market. It was once a place for literati and artists to travel elegantly, leaving many legendary stories.

However, with the rise of the Liulichang Book Market, the Baoguo Temple Book Market gradually declined, and it was not until the nineties of the last century that the Baoguo Temple Antique Market was officially reopened, but once it was put on the market, it began to be famous throughout the country for its civilian exchange and trading activities.

In fact, from the opening of Baoguo Temple to the gradual prosperity now, Chu Chen happened to have experienced it personally, and when it first opened, he and Uncle Wu came to visit the coin fair, but at that time he was still very immature in the antique industry.

It's a Sunday, and although there aren't many people strolling and shopping here due to the hot weather, it's undoubtedly much more prosperous than when it first opened. Chu Chen recalled that this development of the book market was really like his own growth, and he felt very kind.

went straight to the acquaintance's shop, but unexpectedly found that the door was closed, and it didn't open today.

Seeing this, Chu Chen wondered very much in his heart, what the hell is going on, could it be that Lao Zhouwai went out to get the goods? Hey, if that's the case, it's in vain, and suddenly he complained to himself a little, why didn't he think of making a phone call before he came, it was really annoying to run for nothing on this hot day.
