"Mom, Dad, guess what's in there?" As soon as he got home, Tao Chengcheng couldn't wait to fiddle with the backpack in his hand to show off to his parents.

"What else could it be, it must be the mess you bought online. Chengcheng, it's not me talking about you, you're all working, you should know how to save some money for yourself! Tao Mu nagged.

And Tao Chengcheng said triumphantly: "Mom, you're right, it's money!" And it's a lot of money! With that, Tao Chengcheng opened the backpack and poured out six bundles of 100,000 bills from it!

Seeing these money, Tao's father and mother were all shocked, and after a long time, they asked their daughter: "Chengcheng, where did you get so much money?" You—You're not going to do anything illegal, are you? ”

Tao Chengcheng said depressedly: "What do you think? Am I that kind of person? Really, I don't even believe my daughter! ”

Father Tao hurriedly defended: "Chengcheng, it's not that your mother and I don't believe you, but you have to tell us where you got the money, right?" Don't tell me you won the lottery! ”

"It's not a lottery, but it's pretty much the same!" As he spoke, Tao Chengcheng handed over the newspaper with Tang Ning's missing person notice and said, "You see that's how it came!" ”

Father Tao took a look at it, and immediately said in disbelief: "This, isn't this the liar?" ”

Tao Chengcheng wrinkled his little nose and said coquettishly: "Dad, you are too suspicious, you said before that this must be a liar, so I ask you now, what is the matter with these 600,000?" ”

Father Tao looked at his daughter, then at the 600,000 on the table, scratched his head and asked puzzledly: "You, you went, and he gave you the money?" It's as simple as that? Isn't there anyone else going? ”

"How can it be that no one else goes? You didn't go there today, there are a lot of people who go fishing in troubled waters, and I didn't go in until the last in line. ”

"Then why would he give you the money and not anyone else?" Father Tao still asked with some skepticism.

Tao Chengcheng rolled up his sleeves, pointed to the birthmark on his right arm and said: "Because of this birthmark, Mr. Tang said, this is a birthmark unique to our Tao family, so he believes in my identity." By the way, Dad, I remember you have this birthmark on you too! ”

"Hey, this guy knows enough about our Tao family, and he even knows such a secret thing. Could it be that there is really an elder of our Tao family who went to Japan back then? Father Tao said to himself suspiciously.

And Tao's mother counted the money next to her and said happily: "You don't care if there are elders living in Japan, the most important thing now is that the 600,000 yuan has fallen into our pocket!" So the old man, you are a dead brain, you don't believe this, you don't believe that. What if you try it? Anyway, even if you fail, you have nothing to lose, but once you succeed, don't you think the 600,000 will come? Do you think you can earn these 600,000 yuan in your lifetime? ”

Tao's father, who was speechless by Tao's mother, had to look around, thinking about how to divert the topic, and at this time he saw the compass that was shaken off the table by Tao Chengcheng with 600,000 cash, so he asked: "Chengcheng, what is this?" ”

"Oh, this is also the relic of that old Mr. Tao, Mr. Tang said that this compass is more precious than this money, and it is the heirloom of our Tao family!" Tao Chengcheng replied casually.

Father Tao snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, when did our Tao family take this kind of fortune-telling thing as a family heirloom?" But it looks like an old thing, no, I'll have to ask someone how much it's worth. As he spoke, he stood up with the compass and said to Tao Mu and Tao Chengcheng: "I'll go to Lao Luo and ask!" ”

This Lao Luo is an old friend of Tao's father, and now works as a consultant in an auction company, and is a well-known local expert in the field.

It didn't take long for Tao's father to come back with a dejected face with a compass, and when he saw him like this, Tao's mother sank in her heart, and asked tentatively: "What's the matter, old Tao, is this thing fake?" ”

Father Tao shook his head and replied: "Fake is not fake, Lao Luo said that this must be an old object, although I can't tell what age it is, but at least it must be from the Tang and Song dynasties." ”

"If it's true, why are you doing that?" Tao Mu asked puzzled.

Father Tao lit a cigarette and took a hard puff before replying, "Because this thing is not valuable." Antiques are not the older they are, the more valuable they are, and it depends on the degree of market acceptance. For example, ceramics, calligraphy and painting are the most acceptable, even in the Republic of China period, they can be sold at a high price. And this compass is so unpopular that no one collects it at all, so it can only be sold for one or two thousand yuan at most! ”

Hearing his father say this, Tao Chengcheng shouted with some dissatisfaction: "Impossible, Mr. Tang has said that this compass is precious, and it is worth more than these 600,000 yuan!" ”

"Maybe he likes to collect these kinds of things. In fact, antiques are like this, in the eyes of those who like it, they are priceless; In the eyes of those who don't like it, it's garbage that shouldn't be eaten or drunk! Father Tao said casually.

At this time, Tao Mu's mind suddenly flashed: "Hey, yes! Chengcheng, since you said that the person surnamed Tang likes this thing very much, and he said that it is worth more than 600,000, then let's just sell this thing to him! We don't want much, just 600,000! ”

"W-That's not good!" Tao Chengcheng said with some hesitation.

"What's wrong with this, we'd rather sell the heirloom to him, he should be grateful to us!" Tao Mu justifiably argued.

Under the persuasion of his parents, Tao Chengcheng finally had no choice but to follow his parents to the hotel again. Tang Ning, who was studying the reward "Dividing Gold and Fixing Acupoints" obtained by completing the hidden mission, looked at Tao Chengcheng who came again and asked with some surprise: "Miss Tao, do you have anything else?" ”

"That, that Mr. Tang, do you want to buy this compass?" Tao Chengcheng asked in a low voice embarrassed.

"You—you want to sell me this compass?" Tang Ning asked with a look of disbelief.

PS: Many friends suggested that I write "Blessing" and "Hometown", but unfortunately, I consulted the editor-in-charge and didn't let me write it, because I couldn't spoof Mr. Lu Xun, which caused my copy of "Mr. Fujino" to be stillborn, and I originally wanted to let Mr. Lu Xun make a cameo in it Bruce Lee, "The sign of the sick man in East Asia was kicked away by me" (hey, why did you sing it?). ）
