Chapter 409: Cleaning up the relics
Susie was a little unrelatable.
Although she doesn't have deep feelings for Professor Zhong, a living person is suddenly gone, and she feels unspeakably sad.
In particular, Professor Zhong regarded her as a relative, and all his property was left to her.
Others may think that Professor Zhong is a retired old man with little money, but only Susie knows that the antiques left by Professor Zhong are worth a fortune.
Susie sat down for a while, then got up and tidied up with Qiao Mu.
First of all, some of Professor Chung's manuscripts, which Susie found very valuable, she put them all away and put them in a large bag.
She plans to take some time to sort it out when she has time, and see if some of it can be collected and published when the time is right.
At this moment, Ruan Zhonghua came over, "I finally found you, I found a row of rooms in front of me and asked, people said that Professor Zhong had passed away, let me go up and take a look here." ”
Susie told Ruan Zhonghua about the matter, Ruan Zhonghua sighed, rolled up her sleeves and helped sort things out.
After a while, Ruan Zhonghua dragged out a large wooden box from under the bed, and Qiao Mu looked down and dragged out another one.
Both boxes were locked, and Qiao Mu took the key and tried it a few times to open the lock on the box.
Uncovering the box, Qiao Mu said, "Susie, here's a letter for you." ”
Susie quickly took the letter and read it.
The letter was written by Professor Chung a long time ago.
He wrote in the letter that he was old and had cardiovascular problems, and he might be gone one day.
He had accumulated these antiques all his life, and if they were all handed over to the school, he was worried that they would not be properly kept.
After all, even the books in the school library were burned a lot in the past few years.
He knew that Susie liked these things, and he also knew the value of these things, and he was relieved that these things were left to Susie.
He didn't have any other requirements, as long as these things were not destroyed and could be well preserved in this world, he was satisfied.
Susie looked at the date, the letter was written shortly after Professor Chung's last hospitalization.
Perhaps it was that cardiac arrest that made him realize that he could leave this world at any time.
So I made a will in advance and left this letter for Susie.
Susie held the letter paper, her eyes were a little wet, Professor Zhong is a person who really cherishes these antiques, he likes antiques, not because of the economic value of antiques, but because of the Chinese culture carried by antiques.
Compared with Professor Zhong, he is a layman.
Fold the letter and put it in her bag, and Susie looked at the two large wooden boxes.
There were some things she had seen before, and there was a piece of Langhong porcelain that she had exchanged for Professor Zhong.
In addition to porcelain, there are several pieces of jade, an ornament of ivory carving, and a Xuande furnace.
There is also a list in the other box, which details the age of these things and the key points of appreciation of similar utensils.
Susie looked at these two big boxes and was worried, where should I put so many things?
Her own house is in Port City, where there is a basement and it is easy to keep, but these things cannot be transported.
Either put it in the horn production team.
With two boxes so big, what a pit Grandpa has to dig to bury these things!
Qiao Mu quickly thought of Susie's difficulty, and he whispered: "Otherwise, let's take our things back to the capital and put them in my house." ”
Susie can think about it, Qiao Mu has a lot of antiques he bought for her in the house, just a bunch of them.
Besides, the security measures in the compound are also very good.
However, "How do you get this to the capital?" With such a large box, I have to go to freight, and I don't feel at ease with this freight. ”
Ruan Zhonghua said beside him: "It's really a bit troublesome for you to get so many things back to the capital." ”
"These porcelains can't be touched, and I'm afraid it's really inappropriate to go by freight."
Qiao Mu said: "There is a plane to the capital in the provincial capital, let's buy a ticket to go back, these things are carefully packed, take the large luggage check-in, you can go to the capital with us." ”
"When I get to the capital, I'll get a car and tow it back."
Susie thought about it, and that was all there was to it.
A few people went on to sort out other things.
Professor Zhong has a lot of books, Susie chose some of the ones she wanted to read and put them aside, Qiao Mu and Ruan Zhonghua also chose a few books each, and the rest, Susie planned to talk to Professor Yuan and donate them to the school library.
One of Professor Zhong's photo albums, Susie flipped through it and planned to keep it for herself, so that she could occasionally look at it, and if she could publish a book for Professor Zhong in the future, these photos would also be useful.
Then there are some of Professor Zhong's daily miscellaneous items or something, Susie packed some useful things, and planned to let Ruan Zhonghua give them to those in need.
These days, no one will dislike other people's old things, as long as there are things that don't cost money, most people are happy to ask for them.
At noon, a few people ate in the school cafeteria, and then sorted out and packed in the afternoon.
All the porcelain was wrapped in newspapers and old quilts in layers before being placed in boxes.
In the end, everything was sorted and organized, and only some furniture remained.
Susie went to Professor Yuan's side, "I've sorted out all the things, and I'll tow them tomorrow." ”
"I packed some of Professor Zhong's books and donated them to the school library."
Professor Yuan nodded, "Okay, then when the school asks for a house, I'll ask them to move the books." ”
Susie handed a bag in her hand to Professor Yuan, "A little nutritious, you can keep it and eat it." ”
She paused, "Take care of your health, I will come to see you next time I come to the provincial capital." ”
Professor Yuan took the bag, "Thank you." ”
In the evening, a few people had dinner in the school cafeteria, and Susie was worried again, "How did you get these things to the airport?" ”
It's not easy to get a car these days.
"What happens when you get to the airport?"
Qiao Mu comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll call my dad in a while and ask him to find someone to find a way." ”
Susie can only trouble Uncle Joe if she thinks about it.
After eating, Ruan Zhonghua took the two to an office, pointed to the telephone on the table, and motioned for Qiao Mu to call.
Susie teased, "It seems that you are doing quite well in school." ”
Ruan Zhonghua smiled, "It's okay, the school teachers and leaders trust me more." ”
Qiao Mu was on the side and called his dad.
Hearing what his son said clearly, Qiao Yan nodded without hesitation, "That's it, I don't think you and Susie have to run back and forth." ”
"I'll ask people to drag things tomorrow and fly them back to the capital, and I'll also arrange for someone to pick them up, pull them back, and put them in Susie's room as they are, do you think it's okay?"
Qiao Mu turned his head and said to Susie, Susie nodded, Uncle Qiao was thoughtful, so he didn't have to go back and forth.
Qiao Yan said, "Okay, are you planning to stay in the school guest house tonight?" Then I'll arrange for someone to go up there and find you. ”
