Jianbao life

Chapter 46
Uncle Wu slapped his head when he heard the words: "I'm to blame for this. I've been really busy recently. I went out a while ago. You go back and tell your grandfather that I have time, so go see him as soon as possible."

Li Beibei smiled and said: "Hehe, Uncle Wu, don't take it seriously. My grandfather is like that. He likes to be lively when he gets older. I don't even think about it. When I was young, he still looked like no one should enter, which made my uncle , my aunt is not too close to him, and I think he caused it all by himself in the current state."

Uncle Wu laughed and scolded: "You child, no matter how old or young, how can you say that about your grandpa, be careful when I tell him."

"Uncle Wu, don't!"

When Li Beibei heard what Uncle Wu said, she acted coquettishly. Chu Chen was speechless for a while.But he didn't know that his appearance was seen by sharp-eyed Li Beibei, which made her very dissatisfied, thinking, why is this person so annoying!So she turned her head around and said:
"By the way, Uncle Wu, my grandpa's [-]th birthday has invited you. Now I will formally inform you. Please be sure to come, and this brother Xiao Chu will also go together when the time comes. Brother Guo Xiaochu, since you are so good at antiques, it’s not easy to leave empty-handed, the gift must match your knowledge.”

When Chu Chen heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. It’s okay to go to celebrate his birthday by himself, and it’s okay to bring gifts, but it must be matched with a gift of his own knowledge. Does she mean that she wants me to send a valuable antique?They don't have a particularly intimate relationship, so this kind of request is completely unreasonable, this woman is really unreasonable.

I am not so stupid, when the time comes, I can just choose a gift that passes.

Uncle Wu didn't care about their little Jiujiu, and said with a smile: "You child, you are so lazy, and it's not a wedding banquet, you need to be notified a few months in advance. Could it be that you will officially go to Uncle Wu's house to notify, and you can still fall off your body?" A piece of meat is not enough, or are you still thinking about what happened back then?"

This point, in fact, was really hit by Uncle Wu.Li Beibei really still has that joke in her heart. For her, the ugliness was too big, so that whenever she recalls that scene, she still hates Wu Ke's teeth.So after hearing what Uncle Wu said, she blushed a little and faltered when she spoke.

Fortunately, at this time, Liu Qinshu came out of the house, and Li Beibei quickly changed the subject and said, "Aunt Shu, is Grandpa Liu settled down? I heard that the backache of the elderly is due to calcium deficiency. You usually also give him supplements , should work."

Seeing this, Liu Qinshu felt a little strange. When did Li Beibei become so careful? Could it be considered an adult?So she said with a smile: "Beibei, I didn't expect you to know how to care about others. It seems that you are going to grow up."

After Li Beibei heard the words, she said coquettishly: "No way, people have always cared about Mr. Liu's well-being. Aunt Shu, when you say that, it seems that I was a child before."

"Okay, okay, Aunt Shu is wrong."

After Liu Qinshu joked, she said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, let's sign the contract. When the old man entered the room, he was still talking about your things."

"Hey!"

Chu Chen slapped his forehead, "Why didn't I think of reminding Mr. Liu just now and let him take it."

Liu Qinshu said with a smile on her face: "It's not your fault. Even if the deal has been negotiated, my dad won't take it until the deal is completed. This is a matter of principle."

Mr. Liu's persistence made Chu Chen sigh very much. The older generation like them often have certain principles and beliefs in their hearts, and they have always persisted in their daily work and life. This is what he deserves most. Admire and learn.

Some people nowadays, for the sake of money and so-called hobbies, even have no bottom line to be a human being. This has to make people wonder whether it is the progress of civilization or the retrogression.

"Here, the transfer agreement is here, and I need to trouble Ziping and Beibei to be a middleman." Liu Qinshu handed the contract to Chu Chen while speaking.

Chu Chen was already very familiar with this kind of agreement. After a brief look, he signed his name. After that, Uncle Wu and others also signed their names with the witnesses.

However, the bank was closed today and the transfer couldn't be done, so Liu Qinshu wrote a check for Chu Chen. Such a million-level transaction was completed so quickly and easily. Chu Chen couldn't help but sigh, the money came so easily.

Afterwards, Liu Qinshu smiled and said to Chu Chen, "Xiao Chu, just now my dad told me that if you have time, you can visit him often."

"real?!"

Chu Chen didn't expect his wish to be fulfilled in this way. Mr. Liu's ability to accept him would undoubtedly be of great help to his development in the antique business. This made him so excited that he didn't know what to say. I can express my gratitude to Liu Qinshu again and again.

Seeing this, Uncle Wu was also happy for him. It was both gratifying and proud to be able to watch the younger generation thrive step by step.

Seeing this, Li Beibei was very envious and jealous. Although she was familiar with Mr. Liu, she could only come to Mr. Liu's house occasionally.This time, she was able to come to Mr. Liu for appraisal because of her grandfather's birthday. Seeing that Chu Chen was treated like this when he came here for the first time, how could she not be jealous.

Liu Qinshu smiled faintly: "Xiao Chu, don't thank me either. If you want to thank me, thank you for your rich knowledge. Otherwise, my father would also look down on you, don't you think so?"

Seeing Chu Chen's smirk, Uncle Wu smiled and said, "Qin Shu, since everything is done, let's take our leave."

"Okay, you guys remember to come and play sometimes."...

After leaving Mr. Liu's residence, Li Beibei sent them straight home because he had a car.

"Beibei, it's almost noon, why don't you come to my house for a light meal before leaving." Uncle Wu suggested after getting off the car.

Li Beibei said with a smile: "No, there are still things at home today, so please trouble me next time."

"That's fine, be careful on the road." Hearing what she said, Uncle Wu didn't insist.

"Ok!"

After Li Beibei answered, she turned to Chu Chen and said, "Brother Chu, I heard that you are very good at kung fu, so let's make gestures when we have time, and I will call you when the time and place are fixed. We have agreed on this matter." , don't play tricks!"

As soon as the words fell, before Chu Chen had time to answer, she drove away in the car.

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen really couldn't laugh or cry. This woman is really too domineering. She doesn't give others a chance to refuse. It's no wonder that she is hated by Wu Ke, not to mention Wu Ke, but himself. I can't stand it.

"This girl, it seems that Xiao Ke's dissatisfaction has been transferred to you, but Xiao Ke will become a family with you in the future, so you just work harder and let her vent it, but be careful not to let her I was injured, otherwise Xiao Ke would not spare me." Seeing this, Uncle Wu joked again.

Chu Chen said dumbfoundedly: "Uncle Wu, you are here again! But it doesn't matter if you compete with her, but I am not happy to let me just passively defend, and I believe Xiao Ke will not agree."

"Okay, you just have to remember when the time comes, don't beat her up too badly, our old Wu family won't look good at that time." Uncle Wu said with a smile, he still has confidence in Chu Chen's skills, remember Not long after Chu Chen came to the capital, he encountered two prostitutes at a time, and at that time he beat them to the ground with three or two blows, not to mention that he has already broken through now.

Then Uncle Wu said: "Xiao Chen, since Mr. Liu has accepted you, you have to work harder in your studies, let alone be complacent about it. You must know that Mr. Liu has very high demands on people.

Seeing that Chu Chen nodded in agreement, he continued, "Do you have a meal at noon today? If not, come to my house today to deal with it, and we two will have a good drink."

"Okay, I haven't tasted my aunt's handicrafts for a long time, and today I have to have a mouthful. But, Uncle Wu, I asked you if you are greedy. I gave you Moutai that day, so I said I want to drink two cups." Chu Chen said laughingly.

"You boy!"

Uncle Wu went up and gave him a chestnut fried in sugar, "Am I that unbearable? I'm like an alcoholic. Don't drink it for a while..."

The two talked and laughed and walked into the house.

**********************************************
In the afternoon, Chu Chen had nothing to do, so he wanted to go shopping in Nancheng, on the one hand, to see if there were any calligraphy and painting works that Zhao Qirui would be satisfied with, and on the other hand, he happened to go to acquaintances to get some goods.

Those who are familiar with the way came to Baoguo Temple in Nancheng, which is now a new cultural market in the capital.In fact, as early as the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Baoguo Temple used to be the most famous book fair in Beijing, many years earlier than Liulichang Book Fair, another famous cultural street in Beijing.It used to be an elegant place for literati and inkmen at that time, leaving many legends and stories.

However, with the rise of the Liulichang Book Market, the Baoguosi Book Market gradually declined. It was not until the 90s of the last century that the Baoguo Temple Antique Market officially reopened. However, once it was launched, it became famous all over the country for its popular exchange and trading activities.

In fact, from the opening of Baoguo Temple to its gradual prosperity now, Chu Chen has actually experienced all these things personally. He and Uncle Wu also came to visit the coin fair when it opened, but he was in the antique business at that time. Also looks very immature.

Today is Sunday, although there are not many customers who come here to hang out and shop because of the hot weather, but compared to the deserted scene when it first opened, it is undoubtedly much more prosperous.In retrospect, Chu Chen felt that the development of the book market was really like his own growth, and it felt very cordial.

I went straight to the acquaintance's shop, but unexpectedly found that the door was closed, and it didn't even open today.

Seeing this, Chu Chen was very puzzled, what was going on, did Zhou Wai go out to get the goods?Hey, if that's the case, then it's a waste of time, he suddenly blamed himself, why didn't he think of making a phone call before coming here, it's a bit irritating to make a trip for nothing in this hot day.
