hunting in 1986

Chapter 157 Chapter 156

Many villagers surrounded Santana who entered the village. He thought it was a big leader from the city, but when he saw that it was a foreign fur devil, his face changed instantly.

"Why are you a foreign devil?"

"Foreign devils to come to us must not do anything good."

"It can't be a spy..."

Liam is an Englishman. He has been in China for many years, so he can speak fluent Chinese. Wearing a thick gray cotton coat and high-top wool boots, he walked up to Wang Yuan and said with a smile:
"Mr. Wang Yuan, I am really disturbing you by visiting the door. I hope you will not be offended."

Wang Yuan pondered slightly, and said, "What if I take offense?"

Liam couldn't fix it in an instant, and the atmosphere froze in an instant. It was one of Liam's followers who stepped forward to smooth things over, and finally Wang Yuan invited them into the room.

Looking at the "ordinary" decoration of Wang Yuan's house, a flash of contempt flashed in Liam's eyes, and he felt that he should be able to achieve his goal this time.

Through the conversation, Wang Yuan got to know Liam's name, and also knew that he was from England and was doing antique business in China, so he had a rough guess about the purpose of his trip in an instant.

really--

Liam took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Wang Yuan, I heard that you bought a painting by Tang Bohu? I wonder if the painting is still in your hands?"

Wang Yuan picked up his teacup and took a sip, but didn't speak.

But he immediately became vigilant in his heart. He bought Tang Bohu's paintings in Harbin and did not leave his information. Aunt Xue and his son knew that the paintings were in his hands, but they would not easily divulge their information.

and so--

How did Liam find it?
Wang Yuan felt that this foreign devil should not be underestimated.

Seeing that Wang Yuan didn't speak, Liam was a little puzzled for a moment. Seeing that Wang Yuan's living environment should be relatively poor, what?Have a refrigerator, TV, lights, fans?In his eyes, this is not rich.

"Mr. Wang Yuan, to be honest, my uncle likes Tang Bohu's paintings very much. He dreamed of owning one. I have no parents since I was a child. My uncle put me..."

Liam knew that many Chinese people hated foreigners like them, and even became stubborn and would do anything.

So he didn't just come up and spend money, and played the emotional card with a low profile.

"You guys, there is an old saying in China - the beauty of an adult. I wonder if Mr. Wang Yuan can fulfill my filial piety. Of course, the price I will give will definitely not be low, 20 RMB!"

boom!
Hearing the price of 20, Li Yan and Li Ping, who had been standing beside them silently, opened their mouths wide in shock.

Not only were they shocked, but Liam's younger brothers were also shocked. When did the boss act so generously?
Of course, the clever little brother immediately realized that this painting by Tang Bohu is absolutely extraordinary.

"Mr. Wang Yuan, let me just say something, 20 is already a lot. With this 20, you can move out of here and live in the city."

Liam was speaking slowly, but suddenly his heart moved, and he said:
"Do you want to go abroad? If you want to go abroad, I can also help to arrange it. Your wages here are too low. After you go out, you can earn a month, which is worth the money you can only earn in four or five years now."

Liam believes that his conditions are generous enough. Of course, he has no plan to help Wang Yuan go abroad, but just wants Wang Yuan to agree to sell Tang Bohu's paintings to him.

pity……

Wang Yuan said: "It would be great if you came a month earlier, I have already sold that painting to a friend."

"Friend? Who?"

"Yanjing's, even if I tell you, you don't even know him."

"This...how much did you sell it for? Can you redeem it? I'll give you 20. The price your friend gave can't be higher, right? The difference is what you earn."

Liam was going to be impatient. He thought he was sure of everything just now, but he didn't expect to fall from heaven to bottom in an instant.

"It can't be calculated like this. If you want to return the sold paintings, you won't have any friends after that. I don't care about money, I prefer friends." Wang Yuan pretended to be a batch, and said seriously:
"My family runs a small chicken farm. Although the income is not too much, it is enough. Well, you have to go back to the city? Or leave quickly."

"you--"

Liam carefully observed Wang Yuan's expression. He wanted to know if the latter had really sold the painting, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.

He got up and was about to leave, but before going out, he turned back and said:
"Mr. Wang Yuan, do you have another painting in your hand?"

"Huh? I have too many paintings in my hand, not just one."

Wang Yuan was calm on the surface, but his heart was terrified. What he thought of for a moment was Su Shi's painting. After all, ordinary paintings may not be able to catch Liam's eyes.

"I heard that you still have a painting of Su Shi in your hand. You haven't sold that painting of Su Shi, have you? Sell him to me, and I'll give you 20 yuan as well."

Li Yan and Li Ping next to me are numb. Why are they talking about 20 yuan? You must know that many people are still working from dawn to dusk in order to become households with [-] yuan.

Wang Yuan said: "Unfortunately, the painting was not sold, but it was given to a friend in Yanjing. My friend has a lot of background. With his help, it will be very easy to do business in the future."

Liam didn't stay long and left angrily.

Wang Yuan didn't hold back either, and stood at the gate of the fence, watching Santana's car leave.

"Painting, painting... Why do I feel something is wrong? How does this foreign devil know that I have Su Shi's paintings? The news is really well-informed."

Sudden.

Big Wolf licked Wang Yuan's hand, and he regained consciousness instantly.

After returning to the house, sisters Li Yan and Li Ping looked at him strangely.

"Haha, what kind of eyes are you looking at? The foreign devil was joking just now, saying that he would give 20 yuan, and I will definitely not give that much when I really get the painting out.

There are faults here, there are faults there, and it would be nice to be able to give 1 yuan in the end. "Wang Yuan looked very understanding:
"I have dealt with foreign devils in Yanjing, and they often do this."

"So it's like this. I just heard that a painting is worth 20 yuan. It almost didn't scare me to death." Li Ping was still very innocent, and she believed Wang Yuan's words directly.

After admonishing Li Ping to keep his mouth shut and not to talk nonsense to the outside world, the three of them started cooking together. Wang Yuan felt quite good with two beauties accompanying him to cook.

He thought it would be fine for Li Ping not to be married. If Li Ping got married and became someone else's wife, would she still be able to live in her own home?
I'm afraid it won't work.

At that time, her husband will definitely have an opinion.

It's different now, she's not married, so she can live in her sister's house for as long as she wants.

……

Time passed, and 1989 entered after the Gregorian year.

The north wind is bleak, and the snow is flying heavily. Sometimes the door of the house is blocked by thick snow.

The villagers in Wangjiatun'er have completely passed the "cat winter" days. The diligent ones occasionally pull sledges into the mountains, or hunt with shotguns on their backs.

Lazy people mostly lie down until after 9:[-] a.m., watch TV, chat, and play cards with their wives at night, and the day is basically over.

This morning.

Wang Yuan waited for Li Yan, Li Ping packed up her things, and drove them directly to the city on a motorcycle.

chu chu chu ~
The cold wind was blowing, even though Li Yan and Li Ping were wearing thick cotton coats, hats, and scarves, they were still shivering from the cold.
