Liang said: "Congratulations to Brother Zhu, now I don't have to worry about not having the money to buy film." This gold bar can buy more film. ”

Zhu Xiaohua nodded and asked, "Do you know where to sell gold, I plan to sell the gold bars and buy more film." ”

Zhu Xiaohua thought that now that the photography business is booming, he wants to buy more film to go back.

Jia Liang: "Pawn shop, gold and silver jewelry shop. I can let Jia Ting take you there tomorrow. ”

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the ward, and a woman in a nurse's uniform walked in, and it was time to change Jia Liang's dressing.

Zhu Xiaohua saw that the time was not early, he comforted Jia Liang to rest more, got up with Jia Ting, and went back to the provincial guest house.

It was already the middle of the night when they left the hospital, there was no bus, no taxi, and the two walked back to the guest house.

After returning to the guest house, Zhu Xiaohua tore off the notes written on the motorcycle and the photo studio, and fell asleep.

At night, Zhu Xiaohua had a dream.

In the dream, his uncle Huang Ren held an axe and smashed the seagull photo studio, the window of the photo studio was smashed, and the exposed film and photos were burned, emitting bursts of black smoke.

The younger siblings fell in a pool of blood, and kept screaming: "Uncle, stop, this is my brother's photo studio." You can't ruin it. ”

Immediately afterwards, his father Zhu Zhiwu crawled out of the ground, holding the photo in his mouth, stretched out his arms and said, "Huang Ren, I misjudged you." ”

Huang Ren stepped on the top of Zhu Zhiwu's head, took off the photo in his mouth, struck a match, lit the photo, and shook it in his hand.

Yellow flames burst out of the photo, burning little by little, rolling up and turning into a ball.

Huang Ren looked at the dilapidated photo studio and smiled: "The Zhu family is finally finished." ”

Zhu Xiaohua sat up in surprise and looked at the time, it was only three or four o'clock in the morning.

He remembered the news that Gao Shijie told him in the evening, and his mood fluctuated violently.

Mr. Gao said that his uncle, Huang Ren, gave him 1,000 yuan and asked him to report himself for singing hooligan songs.

It turned out that he was in the labor camp at Jiazigou Farm, and the real mastermind behind the scenes was his uncle.

Zhu Xiaohua couldn't believe that half of the tragedy of the Zhu family was caused by his uncle Huang Ren.

He only felt his heart beating, this uncle Huang Ren was even worse than he imagined.

Zhu Xiaohua couldn't sleep anymore, he sat up and drank tea cup by cup until it was dawn and Jia came to knock on the door.

The two went to a nearby gold shop to sell gold bars.

Zhu Xiaohua planned to sell the gold bars, exchange them for cash, and go to the Marlboro market again.

Out of the provincial guest house, two streets to the east, there is a gold shop.

There are all kinds of golden jewelry, gold rings, gold necklaces, and gold bracelets in the gold shop. The ring is also engraved with the word "Fu", and the necklace is engraved with a pattern that means auspiciousness.

Two salespeople in their twenties were behind the counter, staring at the approaching passers-by.

Two or three customers were looking at the gold and silver jewelry in the corner.

Zhu Xiaohua asked, "Do you recycle gold?" ”

The salesman said, "Yes, but I can't be the master." Need to wait for the boss to come back. ”

Zhu Xiaohua said: "When will the boss come back?" ”

Salesman: "Are you selling jewelry, I'll call you the boss." ”

A short time later, a middle-aged woman in her forties and fifties, wearing a bright red woolen coat, walked into the store.

The woman looked at Zhu Xiaohua and asked, "What kind of gold are you going to sell?" ”

Zhu Xiaohua took out a 300-gram gold bar from his pocket and said, "Physical gold bar." ”

The woman's eyes lit up, and she reached out and took the gold bar, and flicked it in her hand, flicking it with her fingers, and put it in her ear to listen.

After a while, she said something astonishing: "The gold bars are fake." ”

What, gold bars are fake?

Zhu Xiaohua and Jia Ting's jaws dropped in shock.

The two looked at the middle-aged woman with incredulous expressions.

The woman weighed it twice more and said, "No." If you're willing to sell it as a fake, I can consider taking it. However, the price is not as high as you think, and it is impossible to give the price of gold. ”

Zhu Xiaohua asked, "Then how much do you give?" ”

The woman held out three fingers and said, "Three dollars a gram." ”

When Jia Ting heard that it was a fake, he panicked and urged Zhu Xiaohua to say, "Brother Zhu, what should I do, I didn't expect that what we got was a fake." ”

The middle-aged woman looked at Zhu Xiaohua with a smile, expecting Zhu Xiaohua to react.

In her gold shop, there are also many people who come to sell gold jewelry.

Often, customers panic when they hear that the gold in their hands is fake.

It is not easy to realize gold, it is even more difficult to realize fakes, and these customers are in a hurry to use the money, and most of them will end up aggrieved.

She looked at Zhu Xiaohua calmly, believing that he would eventually succumb to reality like other customers.

She took out a wad of renminbi from the small leather bag she was carrying, began to count the money, and muttered, "Three hundred grams of gold, nine hundred yuan." ”

Zhu Xiaohua saw her counting the money, put away the gold bars in a hurry, and said, "Since this is the case, then don't bother, let's change stores and try again." ”

He picked up Jia Ting and walked away.

The proprietress who had counted half of the money was left stunned.

The customers in the shop saw the proprietress holding the money in her hand, and the hand counting the money stopped in mid-air, and they all laughed: "People don't plan to sell it to you." ”

After Jia Ting followed Zhu Xiaohua out, he asked worriedly: "Brother Zhu, what she said can't be true, right?" Gold bars can't be real or fake, right? ”

Zhu Xiaohua touched the gold bar that was a little soft, he believed in his own vision, when Brother Xiong took the gold bar, he saw it in person, it didn't look like a fake.

He estimated that most of the proprietress was telling lies, with the purpose of defrauding her gold bars.

In those days, there were not many shops on the streets, and even fewer shops bought gold jewelry.

Zhu Xiaohua walked down a street and went to a pawn shop.

There are few customers in the pawn shop, and a sign hangs in front of the door, which reads: "Undertake land and real estate, gold, silver and jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings." ”

There are two women pawning clothes at the counter, an old-fashioned silk cheongsam.

The turquoise cheongsam, embroidered with exquisite patterns and patterns, looks very classy.

The pawn shop owner sat behind the counter, squinting, wearing a melon-skin hat and a mustache. Dressed as a teacher in the old days.

"What should the guests be?"

When the boss saw Zhu Xiaohua enter the store, he greeted him warmly.

Zhu Xiaohua said: "Do you accept gold bars? ”

The boss was more enthusiastic: "Collect, of course." ”

Zhu Xiaohua took out the gold bar that he had just asked the gold shop owner to appraise and handed it to the pawnshop owner.

The boss took a closer look at the gold bars and said, "The condition is good, it's true." ”

Zhu Xiaohua and Jia Ting glanced at each other.

Jia Ting showed a rare smile, and the worries just now were swept away. He was also worried that Zhu Xiaohua would not raise enough money to buy film.

He was relieved to hear the pawnshop owner say that the gold bars were real.

The pawnshop owner looked at the words on the gold bar and continued: "Three hundred grams, a little much." According to the market price of 33 yuan per gram, it is worth almost 10,000 yuan, which is indeed very valuable. ”
