I've never heard of these Internet terms that the old ghost just said, let alone how awkward it is to recognize. Now I don't have time to listen to his words on the Internet, and I can't listen to it at all.

Because he didn't want to hide something from the old ghost, he asked him if he knew something about his grandfather.

The old ghost proudly said, "Of course! What's wrong? What do you want to know? ”

"Does your grandfather have a picture of him taking a picture with a few foreigners?" I asked.

The old ghost was surprised and said, "How do you know?" Have you been to my grandfather? ”

"Of course not!" After I finished speaking, I glanced at Qian Cheng, and he nodded, indicating that he could sue the old ghost. Of course, even if he doesn't agree, I'll still ask the old ghost. After all, the old ghost is my iron buddy, and I don't want to hide anything from him.

I told him what I had just discussed with Qian Cheng in the car, and after listening to it, the old ghost scratched his scalp and said, "I only know some of my grandfather's glorious deeds in business, but as for what you said about the United States, I don't know much about it." ”

Before getting out of the car, I asked the old ghost, "Can you let us see your grandfather?" Or you can just ask, so that we outsiders don't have to go there rashly. ”

The old ghost thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, let's go together." I have a limited mind and am afraid that the problems I think of will not be so comprehensive. With the two of you here, it's good to have a supplement. ”

If the old ghost said this, we naturally couldn't ask for it. Being able to communicate face-to-face is the best way to find out.

After agreeing like this, we put our luggage items behind the old ghost. went straight to Old Man Shi's residence. Under the arrangement of the old ghost, we didn't have much effort, and we came to Old Man Shi's residence. This is an old mansion located on the outskirts of Beijing, which is the kind of antique courtyard house in Beijing.

Mr. Shi is a very easy-going old man and gave us a warm welcome. As soon as I heard that it was a good friend of the old ghost, it was even more enthusiastic. At first glance, the old man was a learned man, and his two eyes were bright and radiating wisdom.

As soon as we entered the door, the first thing we saw was the old photograph on the table. Qian and I looked at each other and immediately recognized which one the old man was in the photo. Judging by his appearance. In addition to a lot of wrinkles and gray hair. The appearance is basically not much different from when he was young.

I first stepped forward and said to the old man: "Grandpa, I am Shi Hui's iron buddy." I used to hear old ghosts, oh no, Shi Hui said about your glorious deeds. I feel very admired. So. I'm going to have to pull him to you today. What a bother! ”

Maybe people like other people's praise, and as soon as the old man heard me say this, he immediately said happily: "Hehe." Looking for a kid and talking nonsense in front of others, don't listen to his nonsense. ”

"Where do I have?" The old ghost hurriedly avented himself and said, "I'm just telling them about your glorious deeds. Who knows, this kid is like he has fallen into an evil spirit, and he has to die begging to come to see you. That's a worship for you! ”

"Hahahaha......" The old man immediately laughed when he heard his grandson say this.

Qian Cheng also immediately said casually: "Yes, I usually hear Shi Hui say how shrewd you are in business. And, say you're very knowledgeable about the antiques business. So, this time, we came here to learn from you. If I could, I would like to beg my grandfather for food. ”

"Hahaha, you young people, you are really clever. I'm not very old, but I really have a lot of ideas. Old Man Shi said, "What? Want to get into the antiques business? ”

"Hmm!" Qian Cheng's head nodded like a "chicken pecking rice".

The old ghost and I don't know how Qian Cheng would say this, but since he said this, he must have his reasons. Perhaps, it is just the strength of the old man as a breakthrough. It's okay to talk like this, starting with the other person's area of expertise. The good thing about this is that the conversation is definitely not cold.

When you are chatting with each other and getting acquainted with each other, you can go straight to the point and cut to the point.

Old Man Shi saw that Qian Cheng's attitude was very sincere, so he said: "The antique industry is very deep!" ”

Qian Cheng immediately said: "Well, I've heard of this, don't you often hear people say, 'If you don't open for three years, you will eat for three years'." But I'm just lazy! As soon as I heard that there were such rules in this industry, I immediately numbed my claws and felt that my life had found a direction. In my mediocre life, I suddenly had a commanding height, and I also found a goal to strive for. ”

"Hahaha, boy, I can't open it, my mouth is still very slippery. Yes, there is potential to do this. Old Man Shi said.

"Hey, I heard you say that, my heart that was chosen in mid-emptiness has finally been put down." Qian Cheng said, "As the saying goes: 'Is it that piece of material, ask Taidou'." You're the master. I'm relieved to have your approval! ”

When Old Man Shi heard Qian Cheng say that he was a master, he naturally smiled, and chatted with Qian Cheng.

The old ghost and I saw that there was nothing going on with the two of us, so we just listened quietly on the side. We really didn't know before, it turned out that Qian Cheng was so capable. But think about it, if you don't have two brushes, how can you become the president of the student union?

Seeing that Qian Cheng and Mr. Shi were chatting very well, we didn't want to interject, so we just listened to it on the side. Only when Qian Cheng needed support and response, we responded casually with "um, ah".

Seeing Qian Cheng's posture, it is no problem to hand over this job to him from Old Man Shi's mouth. I took the opportunity to wander around the old man's house to see if there were any other clues that I could dabble into.

The old man loves to take pictures, from young to old, there are all kinds of photos. More in black and white, though. Some are in old photo albums, and some are hung on the wall in photo plaques (large photo frames). Looking at all kinds of people and landscapes, I felt as if I had traveled back in time, and I also returned to their time.

The most classic thing is that in the middle of the plaque is a ** photo. Next to it are photos of Old Man Shi when he was young, as well as photos of the Red Guards I knew. It looks antique, and it has a unique atmosphere of that era. I can't help but imagine what their youth was like in that turbulent era.

I eventually turned my attention to the yellowed old photo, looking at my grandfather and Qian Cheng's grandfather when they were younger. Then, his gaze fell on Old Man Shi's face. However, what is a little strange is that Mr. Shi did not stand with our grandfathers, but next to foreigners.

Seeing that there was a slight gap between Qian Cheng and Old Man Shi's chat, I hurriedly turned around and asked, "Grandpa, have you ever taken a photo with foreigners?" Did you go abroad at that time? ”

When Mr. Shi heard me suddenly ask about this old photo and his going abroad, his face immediately showed a look of surprise and uneasiness. But such a look is also fleeting, and if you don't pay attention, you won't be noticed. But I paid attention to the old man's expression from the beginning, so the whole process of his expression changed in my eyes.

The old man hurriedly put away his nervous look, and said with a little embarrassment: "Hehe, no." Where was the condition to go abroad in that era, this was just a coincidence, and I took pictures with a few people in the photo studio. ”

When I heard this, I looked at Qian Cheng with a smile, and he winked at me. We understood each other: this old grandson is playing Tai Chi with us! is very strict, and he doesn't even tell half the truth about the things of the year. Lies and lies come as soon as they open their mouths, so it is no wonder that people who say that they are in the antique business say that nine out of ten sentences are false.

However, the more he concealed it in this way, the more it showed that something was wrong.

I immediately pretended to be stupid and asked, "Photo studio?" ”

"Well, it was strange to see foreigners at that time, so I pulled them over and took a photo as a souvenir." The old man continued his mouthful of phaseless magic.

"Oh~" I pretended to sigh and said with emotion: "This background is very special......"

"That's the set!" The old man hurriedly said.

I was even more "surprised", so I hurriedly said, "The set? The scenery at that time was so realistic, it was amazing! ”

Old Man Shi immediately responded with a haha, and his facial expression looked extremely unnatural.

At this time, Qian Cheng immediately coughed and signaled me not to ask any more. If the other party wants to cover up, it doesn't make any sense to continue asking like this.

I turned around and saw beads of sweat oozing from Old Man Shi's forehead. Looking at the old ghost again, I saw that his face was blue and white for a while, and it was also cloudy. Only then did I realize that I was eager to work hard, and I forgot for a moment that the old man was the grandfather of the old ghost. So he hurriedly closed his mouth and stopped pressing.

At this time, Qian Cheng immediately said to Old Man Shi: "Grandpa, when you collect these things, aren't you afraid of being cheated or being distracted?" ”

Old Man Shi saw that someone was interrupted, so he hurriedly walked down the steps and said, "Of course it was indispensable at first. At that time, I always suffered losses, and it was even more common to look away. I often go around with others for a long time, thinking that I have received a big object, and I am happy. But in the end, it's basically a fake that can't be put on the table. ”

"Oh? So, you've also suffered losses? Qian Cheng said.

"Eaten! Of course I did! Old Man Shi said, "If you do this business, you can't enter the industry without suffering losses." You have suffered a lot of losses, you have gained more knowledge, and you have seen more of the world, so you will naturally gradually understand it. ”

Qian Cheng and I both looked quite rewarded, nodding in contemplation.

"When you're young, you always suffer." Old Man Shi continued, "Later, I learned what it means to 'suffer a loss is a blessing'! (To be continued......)
