Chapter 3 Goes to Appraisal

The sun is shining and the spring breeze is warm. The weather in March is the season of lukewarm, without the noise of cicadas on the branches, the annoyance of flies during the day, and the bites of mosquitoes in the night, giving people a comfortable and comfortable feeling.

Los Angeles is located in the western part of Henan, and although it ranks second only to the provincial capital in the province, it can only be regarded as a third-tier city. Qiao Benliang drove his off-road vehicle, driving forward slowly, it was half past eleven o'clock in the morning, this time period was the rush hour after work, the traffic flow on the street was relatively large, and there would be traffic jams from time to time.

"Brother Liang, you should hurry up! Faster than the Passat in front! Chen Jie sat in the back seat, stroking the soft long fur of the golden retriever with his hand, while constantly urging Qiao Benliang to speed up.

made Qiao Benliang very irritable, and couldn't help shouting at him: "Dead little fat, don't you talk too much there?" There are cars everywhere, where do you dare to let go of the accelerator and run! It's easy to rear-end it! ”

Chen Jie muttered in his mouth: "I'm afraid of wool, you're just too cautious!" He whistled a few times at Pipsqueak, teasing, "Pippi, your master, driving is like a girl, afraid of wolves and tigers, it's really slow enough!" ”

At this time, Qiao Benliang's mobile phone rang, and after he connected it, he heard that the voice was from his mother, and quickly said, "Hey, Mom!" We're here soon, and now we're just about to get off the bridge, ah, there's a lot of traffic on the road at this time, so we're going a little slower, okay, bye-bye! ”

Qiao Benliang's parents and sister live in the family courtyard of the Cultural Relics Research Institute in the urban area, and the distance between the two is more than ten kilometers, and it takes about 20 minutes to drive to the place at a normal speed, and if there is a traffic jam, it will take almost an hour.

After getting off the viaduct, cross another intersection, turn right to Central Park, go straight along the south gate of the park for one kilometer, and the community in front of the west of the road is there. Qiao Benliang parked the car on the edge of the road, opened the door and came outside, Chen Jie also pushed the door and got out of the car, and Pippi the golden retriever jumped out with a "poof" and ran to his master's side. "Chubby, don't forget to grab your box!" Qiao Benliang admonished.

Walking out of the elevator, Qiao Benliang came to the door of Donghu's house, stretched out his hand and pressed the doorbell, and soon heard a crisp and pleasant voice from the house: "Mom, my brother is here!" Followed by footsteps, the door opened with a "click".

A handsome melon seed face appeared from inside, and said with a smile: "Brother, why did it take you so long to arrive?" Qiao Benliang stretched out his hand and pinched his sister's face: "Don't mention it, there are too many cars on the road, and you can't drive fast if you want to!" Pipsqueak happily leaned over to the girl with his tail wagging and barked. Oops, long time no see, Pipsqueak, come on, baby, let me hug! Well, that's so good! ”

"Jory, don't be busy making out with Pipsqueak yet, there's a guest at home, you should also say hello, right?"

Qiao Benliang reminded his sister beside him, and before the girl could speak, Chen Jie took the initiative to speak: "Hi! Hello, little beauty! Qiao Rui noticed the boy standing behind his brother, got up and smiled shyly: "Hehe, I'm really embarrassed, Brother Chen Jie, I didn't even see you!" ”

"Jory, if I'm not mistaken, are you going to graduate from college this year? I learned as if I was studying the earth......"

"Ouch, what do you remember? Also earth research, that is called geological engineering discipline, come, come, please come in, please come in! ”

This is a three-bedroom, two-living room house, which is very elegantly decorated. Qiao Benliang walked into the kitchen and said to his mother, "Mom, are you cooking?" "The woman who was serving the vegetables on the plate was dignified and elegant, and she looked about fifty years old, and her skin was well maintained.

"Ryoko, are you hungry? Get all these dishes out there, and your dad should be home in no time! The woman looked back lovingly at her son and said.

Qiao Benliang shouted to the living room: "Qiao Rui, come and serve!" The girl walked over quickly, rolled her eyes at her brother, and said, "You really don't know that I can do the work of pity and love women?" Qiao Benliang squeezed his eyes: "Lazy worm, all day long, just thinking about clothes to stretch out your hands, food to open your mouth, work!" ”

"Cut! I'll take one, you take two! ”

As soon as the two men had put their food on the table, a man of about fifty-two or thirteen years of age came in from outside, tall and thin, with a kind face, a stiff head, a suit, a tie, and a pair of short-sighted glasses.

Qiao Benliang smiled at the man and said, "Dad, you're back!" The man nodded slightly, and Jory hurriedly stepped forward to take the briefcase from his father. Chen Jie, who was sitting on the sofa, hurriedly got up and greeted: "Hello Professor Qiao!" Hello Uncle Joe! ”

Professor Qiao pointed at Chen Jie and said kindly: "Chubby, ouch, you haven't been a guest at our house for many days!" What have you been up to lately? ”

Chen Jie scratched his head with his hand and smiled: "I'm not afraid of your old jokes, I'm still unemployed, I'm not idle, I'm here to eat again!" "Young people! Listen to your uncle's advice, take advantage of your young age, hurry up and find an errand to do a good job, don't live up to this great youth! I'm not just talking to you, but you, Qiao Benliang! ”

At this time, the woman also came over and said to Qiao Benliang: "Liangzi, your Aunt Mei is worried about finding a partner for you again, saying that the girl's conditions are good in all aspects, and she is also beautiful, she has a golden rice bowl, works in a bank, and is four years younger than you, so let you go and meet the woman in the next two days." ”

When Qiao Benliang heard about the blind date, he was a hundred reluctant, he didn't plan to get married and start a family in a short time, and he always felt that as long as there was a woman around him, he would lose his freedom from then on. "Don't worry about these things for me yet, Mom! I haven't thought about it yet, I don't know what kind of girl to deal with, if it's too hasty, it can easily lead to unhappy life after marriage! ”

The woman was a little displeased, and glanced at her son, and complained, "How can you do this, good son? You're not too young, you're almost thirty years old, and you're still playful like a child! The conditions of our family are so good, I can find you any kind of girl you want. ”

"Okay, Mom, I know you're all for my good, don't worry, I'll find a daughter-in-law to bring you home this year, okay?" In order to avoid making his mother angry, Qiao Benliang had to say a few perfunctory words to comfort her heart. Looking back, Qiao Benliang said to his father again: "Dad, Xiaopang brought a few cultural relics this time, I want you to help identify them." ”

As long as Professor Qiao heard about the cultural relics, his spirits would be lifted, and he couldn't help but be interested, he pushed his glasses up and looked at Chen Jie: "Okay! That's a good thing! Come on, let's sit down to eat first, fill our stomachs first, and then carefully appreciate the treasure! ”
