Just now, Yang Lan thought that his son was joking, but when he saw the gold bar in his son's hand, Yang Lan, who was just over 40 years old, was surprised to open his mouth wide and stuff an apple into it. Then his face suddenly stiffened and he turned his head, looked at his smiling son on the side, and said word by word.

"What the hell are you kid doing? Where did this gold bar come from? ”

Seeing his mother's reaction, Yang Nianzhong was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly picked up the side, the certificate issued by the dock staff for himself, and even the tariff procedures of the Sony Walkman. Several certificates were placed in front of Yang Lan, and after carefully observing them, they were all true, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and looked at Yang Nianzhong with a smile and said.

"Son, I went to the dock so early this morning to auction the storage cabinets, why didn't you tell my mother earlier? Scared me to death, it scared me to death. ”

Yang Nianzhong looked at his mother with a smile and said. "My dear mother, although your son and I have not studied well since he was a child, he is limited to fighting, okay. I've never done anything other illegal, how come your precious son is a lawless in your eyes? My little heart liver is cool and cool. ”

Seeing Yang Nianzhong's very exaggerated heartache look, his mother Yang Lan burst out laughing and pinched Yang Nianzhong's face. snatched the gold bar from his son's hand, put it in front of him and looked at it carefully, and then said with a smile.

"No wonder you don't know it, there are a lot of real words on it, this is a gold bar made by the SH Bank of Communications in the 15th year of the Republic of China, weighing 10 taels, which is about 312 grams when converted to the present."

"The purity is 99.9% of pure gold, and when this thing was in the Republic of China, it would not call him a gold bar, but a big yellow croaker. There is also a gold bar that is 1/10 smaller than its size, called a small yellow croaker. ”

Seeing that his mother had solved all her questions, Yang Nianzhong had to stretch out his thumb to his mother with great admiration and said in admiration. "It is worthy of being a top student at Yale University, and it is a top student whose mother is mighty and domineering."

Mother Yang Lan looked at her son's adoring gaze triumphantly, that is called a use, and continued to talk eloquently. "Son, the value of a big yellow croaker gold bar is not in his multiplicity, how much gold content? Although it is a modern gold bar, after all, it has a history of several decades, and it can be regarded as an antique gold bar more or less. ”

At this time, Yang Nianzhong looked at his mother in surprise and said. "Mom, I understand what you mean, isn't it this big yellow croaker gold bar, its value is much higher than the same weight of gold, and it is more valuable, right?"

Yang Lan nodded with a smile, touched his son's hair with great relief, and said. "You kid is very clever, yes, Mom means that this is an antique gold bar, its value is much higher than ten ounces of gold bar, conservatively estimated to be worth about tens of thousands of dollars."

Not only was Yang Nianzhong stupid, but even John, who was drinking beer on the side, drank the beer into his nose excitedly, coughing there with a red face and a thick neck, and the painful appearance made Yang Nianzhong and his mother Yang Lan burst out laughing. Seeing that her son's best friend John was like this, his mother Yang Lan came to John's side with a smile, patted him on the back and said.

"What's wrong with my little John? Such a big person can actually drink beer to the inside of his nose. You really impress your aunt, and your funny skills are really comparable to your brother Yang Nianzhong. ”

John lost his mother's love when he was seven years old, and although his grandmother took care of his life, his grandmother couldn't make up for his mother's role-play. Although she only came to Yang's noodle restaurant when she became friends with Yang Nianzhong in her teens, Yang Lan, an aunt, treated John like her own mother. Every time John's birthday, his mother Yang Lan would call John to the restaurant through Yang Nianzhong.

made a big table of good dishes, specially customized a cake, and even carefully selected gifts for John's birthday, and John was also full of respect for Yang Lan. has always affectionately called Yang Lan Aunt Yang, no matter how embarrassing his life is, on Yang Lan's birthday, John will always spend some money to buy some small gifts for his Aunt Yang.

So John and his mother Yang Lan get along very happily, in the words of his mother Yang Lan, John is his godson, no different from his son Yang Nianzhong. Don't look at John, who is two meters tall and weighs more than 200 pounds, he looks fierce and vicious, like a black bear becoming a sperm, but he doesn't dare to be the slightest presumptuous in front of his mother Yang Lan.

Finally figured out what the origin of this gold bar was, and when he heard that it was worth tens of thousands of dollars, even though Yang Nian was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the value of this gold bar.

"According to your meaning, Mom, this is an antique gold bar, worth tens of thousands of dollars, and it may be worth more in the future, and it is a pity to sell it."

At this time, his mother Yang Lan sat on Yang Nianzhong's newly purchased chair and turned around twice with John's support, and then said with a smile. "That's right, if you make a rash transaction, you will be maliciously lowered, so try not to sell my son's gold bar. If you are short of money, tell your mother that your mother will give it to you, but the gold bars should be mortgaged by me. ”

What kind of character is Yang Nianzhong? Mother Yang Lan, can she not know? It's hard to get on the right path, and I don't work in chaotic places like bars and nightclubs. Not to mention that they will not come into contact with those who are not careful, and they will fight for three days and two ends, so that the prodigal son will not change his money, and of course the mother must support himself, and his son will be on the right path.

When his son encountered difficulties, of course, his mother did not hesitate to support his career with all she had, and used gold bars as collateral just because she was afraid that her son Yang Nianzhong would be embarrassed to open his mouth. After all, his son Yang Nianzhong was born and raised in the United States, and there are some differences with Yang Lan's traditional Chinese thoughts.

In order to maintain his son's poor face, he had to do this, hearing his mother Yang Lan say this, Yang Nianzhong's eyes lit up and he came up with a smile, and said with a smile while pinching his mother's shoulder.

"Sure enough, my mother who gave birth to me and raised me understands me, and my mother is right, my career with John has just started, and we are short of start-up capital."

"I still took a taxi back today, so I pledged the gold bars to you, and $10,000 is just right to replace our business with a V8 engine, so that our business can take off quickly."

"Mom, I promise to return the $10,000 start-up capital to you within three months, and then you can wait for your son to make money to support the family and enjoy the happiness."

Yang Lan got up from the chair, opened his arms and hugged Yang Nianzhong, patted his son's back and said with emotion. "Son, son, all of Mom's things will be inherited by you in the future, as long as you mature and grow up and no longer cause trouble like before, Mom is willing to let you change in a good direction no matter how much it costs."

"You and John can have such a big harvest today. Mom is so happy, fill her stomach like this at noon. In the evening, Mom will definitely cook you a table of good dishes, and treat you two little boys well. ”

The two big boys, one is 19 years old and the other is 21 years old, and they have become little children in the mouth of their mother Yang Lan. Seeing his mother happily taking the gold bars and leaving, Yang Nianzhong patted John, who was eating his tomato and egg noodles, on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

"Brother, our career will take off immediately, according to what I said, I will account for 80% and you will account for 20%, and after three months, our brothers will settle accounts and strive to buy you a good house."

John smiled and ate the noodles, nodding vigorously, not having time to deal with Yang Nianzhong, the current food, especially his favorite tomato and egg noodles, is a floating cloud.
