Huo Buqiang drove to Zhongbao Village and saw Sun Cripple and a few workers preparing to go to the roof.

Li Huadong is setting off firecrackers.

He stopped and said to Sun Fuzi and the others, "I'll go up to the roof and use a compass to measure it, and you will first remove the tiles from below."

He skillfully lifted the tiles from the wall of the house, quickly reached the position of the ridge, and pretended to measure it with a compass, and in practice remembered whether there were gold and silver coins placed on the ridge.

It took more than ten minutes to remove all the tiles at the ridge, but no gold or silver coins were found, so I had to give up.

He said to Sun Cripple, "You can dismantle it, everyone pay attention to safety."

He went to the nearby commissary, bought a box of mineral water and a cigarette, and asked Li Huadong to give it to a few house demolition workers.

This time both young women were there.

He deliberately asked, "What is the relationship between the two of you?"

Li Yanli said, "She is my sister-in-law, and my husband and her husband are brothers, now you understand?"

Huo Buqiang thought to himself: It's really not a family that doesn't enter the door, and the two concubines are all greedy for money.

Lai Jinlan is angry today because Li Yanli is also there, so she doesn't joke with Huo Buqiang.

She was counting the goods in the commissary with Li Yanli.

Last time, Kang Minghao said that Lai Jinlan's husband Sun Shenghui worked as a master in a garment factory in Guangdong.

Huo Buqiang deliberately teased them to speak: "It turns out that this grocery store is a partnership between the two of you, you two are amazing, you can take care of the old and young in the family, you can't farm, and you know how to open a store to make money in your spare time."

Li Yanli said: "It is precisely because the men in the family are useless that women will find ways to make money."

Lai Jinlan still kept a straight face and didn't speak.

Huo Buqiang said, "I don't seem to owe you any money, do I? Why don't you keep a straight face?"

Li Yanli said, "She's in a bad mood, don't mess with her."

Lai Jinlan said indignantly: "Men are not good things, and if you have a little money in your pocket, you will make trouble."

Huo Buqiang said: "Women are the same, women will be blamed if they don't have money."

He thought of Wang Shuilian, a woman who was greedy for one man's money on the one hand, and couldn't forget another man's body on the other hand.

He thought now: It must be Wang Shuilian who can't forget Qing Dayong's body, this guy is useless, but his body is stronger than himself.

Women are obsessed with their first man.

He felt a little sad in his heart at this time, as if his first time had been handed over to the street girl in the alley.

He and his uncle and aunt collect waste and live under the same waste shed, although the two beds are more than ten meters apart, but the sound is still very clear and audible.

One night, the second uncle drank a little wine and was busy with his own business without any scruples, and it was drizzling outside, and he didn't want to go outside to play, but the sound of the uncle and aunt made him grab an umbrella and go out.

found a video hall and watched the midnight show all the time, in the past, he just saw twelve o'clock and left, thinking that the passion movie after twelve o'clock was not suitable for people of his age.

But that night he watched.

Like a piece of hydrated lime thrown into the water, the heat from his whole body was bubbling out. ap..

He spent dozens of dollars and experienced the first time in his life, and he didn't feel it at the time, but now he regrets it.

At this time, he seemed to understand Wang Shuilian again.

It felt the same as the inertia he had developed, and when he arrived in a strange city, at the beginning of the night, the monster inside him was ready to move.

When he went out at night, he seemed to be most interested in the streets and alleys, those sultry figures.

After chatting with the two young women for a few words, Huo Buqiang knew that Lai Jinlan's husband, who was a master in the Guangdong Garment Factory, called back and said that there were many orders in the factory for the Chinese New Year this year, and he was not ready to come back for the New Year.

So Lai Jinlan is going to take the child to Guangdong to find him and spend the New Year with him.

Jiang Ming is only a few hours away from Haikou, and he can run a round trip that day, and he has never been home all year round, and he said he would not go home during the Spring Festival.

though

Sun's parents said that Sun Shenghui would definitely not dare to mess around outside, and if he dared to find other women outside, his parents would cut off relations with him.

But as a woman, Lai Jinlan knew that the man in the family must have changed his mind, and she was determined to go over to have a face-to-face showdown with him.

The grocery store was opened by the two concubines, so she decided to transfer all the stores to Li Yanli.

She asked Huo Buqiang: "When will you go back to Jiangming, will I take my son to Jiangming in your car?"

Huo Buqiang said: "I just demolished it today, and it is estimated that I can pull two truckloads of old timber across Jiangming tomorrow, and I will take you there if you go."

Lai Jinlan said, "Okay, I'll take your car to Jiangming tomorrow, what time is it tomorrow?"

Huo Buqiang said, "Tomorrow at about ten o'clock."

Li Huadong said to him: "Yesterday, I almost walked around Zhongbao Village and found a little old furniture, the quantity is about the same as that of Xiashan Village, and the price of this time is lower than that over there, when will I call the truck to pull it over?"

He said that he now has the capital and can pay the villagers first.

Huo Buqiang said, "Then let's go to Jiangming tomorrow to pull the goods together, call three trucks, two to pull the wood of the old house, and one to pull the old furniture."

He said to Li Huadong, "I am on guard at the construction site tonight, and you go back to Haikou and get money tomorrow morning to pay for the old furniture." In the afternoon, I will take the truck back to Jiangming, and I will pay you when I come back."

Li Huadong agreed.

Huo Buqiang called a few truck drivers and made an appointment with them to come to Zhongbao Village tomorrow to pull goods.

He asked Li Huadong to watch a few workers demolish their houses at the construction site, and he drove to Shangbao Village.

Park the car in the open space in front of the Kangjia Feeding Hall, and go door to door along the village alleys to ask people if they have old furniture.

After staying with Wang Shuilian for a while, he can basically understand their local dialect in Haikou.

Although he can't say it, he can still communicate when he meets a local old man or a wife.

Because those old men and old ladies are not used to speaking Mandarin, but they can understand it.

Especially when it comes to bargaining.

He walked a few houses, and had already negotiated a table of eight immortals and two chairs of great immortals.

Tell them to bring the truck over tomorrow, and they will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.

After the old man negotiated with him, he was still skeptical, they couldn't believe that a master's chair could be worth two thousand yuan, and a table of eight immortals was worth five or six thousand.

Someone suggested that Huo Buqiang pay a small deposit, and they believed it.

Huo Buqiang said, "What kind of deposit, tomorrow my truck will enter the village, you bring a few old pieces of furniture over, and I will pay you cash on the spot."

It took a few hours to basically go through hundreds of households in Shangbao Village and talk about more than 20 pieces of old furniture.

Some of these villagers felt that what he said was true, and some were skeptical.

In fact, the price he opened was lower than that of Li Huadong and Zhang Xiaoying, and the lower he opened, the lower he opened, the more the villagers seemed to believe it.

The price is going up, and they say you must be a liar.

How can an old piece of furniture be worth thousands of dollars.

Huo Buqiang encountered a strange thing, there was an old man's house, there were two coffins made of huanghuali, the whole coffin was almost made of several whole woods, and the front and rear baffles were also old materials.

The old man and the old lady looked to be in their seventies, and they walked tremblingly.

It is a lonely old man in the village, no children and no daughters, I heard the villagers say that the old couple made a lot of money when they were young, and their family was good, so they built two Huanghuali coffins for the two of them, ready to use them when they are old.

Because they had no biological children, the two raised an adopted son.

Who knew that this adopted son was a wolf, who was lazy at home, and gradually ruined the old man's solid home.

A few years ago, they also looted all the silver and gold coins they had accumulated before, including coins, and ran away to Guangdong.

The old man is old, and he has to pay for people to cultivate a few acres of paddy fields, and the two of them have no other income, so it is very difficult to eat.

Hearing that a boss was collecting old furniture in the village, he deliberately went on crutches to find it.

Take Huo Buqiang to his house.

In the living room, there is a table of eight immortals, two master chairs, and the cabinet placed against the wall is all yellow rosewood.

The old man asked him, "How much are these pieces of furniture worth?"

Huo Buqiang saw that he was pitiful, and he said, "I will accept one thousand from others for this master chair, and I will give you one thousand and five, and I will accept two thousand from others for this Eight Immortal Table, and I will give you three thousand for you who are strong, and I will give you two thousand ......for this divine cabinet."

The old man said with a straight face, "Young man, do you lie to my old man like a fool? I also did business when I was younger, and I know some about the market. When you say that, you're bullying me for being old and having a bad brain."

Huo Buqiang was secretly taken aback, thinking that he said that his price was lower, so he was unhappy.

He hurriedly said, "Uncle, then I can pay you how much you say is worth, if it is appropriate."

The old man said, "This master chair is worth eight hundred, this eight immortal table is worth one thousand and five, and this divine cabinet is worth one thousand two.

Huo Buqiang said, "Uncle, tomorrow I will drive the truck over, help you load the old furniture into the car, and pay you the money, do you believe what I said is true?"

The old man must have never dreamed that this kind of old furniture made of wood would be worth so much money.

After listening to his explanation, the old man believed him a little.

When Huo Buqiang was about to leave, Old Man Kang stopped him.

"You come upstairs with me to have a look, I have two coffins made of huanghuali upstairs, can you help me see how much it is worth?"

Huo Buqiang followed him upstairs and saw two exquisite Huanghuali coffins on it.

He was surprised on the spot, how many years does it take for such a large plate of Huanghuali to grow to be so big?

Two hundred years, or even more than five hundred years.

He visually inspected each board at more than fifty centimeters, and it was a whole piece of Huanghuali wood.

The old man lifted the lid of the coffin, and it was filled with dry rice.

Old man Kang said, "These two coffins are not bad at all when we use them to store rice, they are much better than storing them in clay jars. That's all the things that are worth a little money in the house."

Huo Buqiang couldn't suppress his excitement, and he said to the old man, "Uncle, I'll call my boss and ask him how much your coffin is worth?"

He got through Yin Yuan's phone.

"Mr. Yin, there is an old man who has two coffins made of Huanghuali at home, and the four boards are whole, each with a width of more than fifty centimeters and a thickness of six centimeters, without any damage, how much money you said you could take him."

Yin Yuan was also very surprised when he heard it.

He said, "Fifty thousand is not expensive to get back one, you talk to him, you take it back, I will pay you in case, and two payments will give you 100,000."

Huo Buqiang originally wanted to say that I will give you 50,000 yuan for two coffins, but he thought of the old man's solid board.

He said, "Uncle, I will give you twenty-five thousand for two coffins, what do you think?"

Old man Kang still couldn't believe it, he said, "Twenty years ago, I spent 600 yuan for each coffin for the carpenter, I bought the wood for 500 yuan, and the carpenter paid the coffin for 100 yuan. Is it worth that much now?"

Huo Buqiang said: "Of course, the salary in the 70s was only a dozen yuan, and now the salary is five or six hundred yuan, which has increased forty or fifty times."

Still, the old man felt that the price had risen a bit outrageously.

In order to reassure him, Huo Buqiang said, "Uncle, I will collect all these old furniture in your house tomorrow. I can pay you a deposit of 1,000 dollars."

Old man Kang said, "I won't charge you a deposit, you can come and collect it tomorrow, just pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."

Huo Buqiang also asked him, "Uncle, I'll come tomorrow to collect your two coffins, but what do you take to store these paddies?"

Then the old lady hurried back from outside, and she went upstairs with a thud, and blamed the old man for not bringing the stranger upstairs.

Old man Kang said that the old woman is stingy, she is a big boss, and she will steal a few catties of rice from you?

I brought him up to see how much the coffin was worth?

The old woman said, "You

Sell both coffins, what will we bury when we die?"

Old man Kang said, "You have a cheap bone, is it very expensive? Such a good coffin is kept, if we die and don't give it to us, it will still be a problem, Taozi is a wolf, and when the time comes, dig a pit and bury us. It's better to live a better life on our own when we are alive. Just now, the boss said that he would give us 25,000 yuan for two coffins."

The old woman was also skeptical.

Old man Kang said to her: "What people said must be true, just now he also said to give me a deposit of 1,000 yuan, I won't accept it, and he said that he will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other tomorrow."

He also warned the old woman, "Don't go outside and tell others, or they will be red when they hear it." ap..

He also asked Huo Buqiang: "Can you drive to my door, and try not to let other people in the village see it when loading the car."

Huo Buqiang saw that his house was very close to the highway, and he could drive the truck to his door.

So I promised him.

The old lady said, "Now that these two coffins are going to be sold, we will now put the rice in those rice jars."

She asked Huo Buqiang to help them carry four or five rice jars to the coffin.

Huo Buqiang helped move the rice jar over, and took the initiative to say, "I'll help you load the rice into the rice jar, right?"

The old lady said nervously, "I won't bother you with this, we just need to take our time."

Old man Kang also thanked him and signaled that he could go.

Huo Buqiang said goodbye to them, went downstairs, and heard the two of them say upstairs: "There are still silver coins and dozens of gold coins hidden in this rice, how can he be a stranger to help?"

The old man said, "That's all the money for life, but fortunately it was well hidden!"
