Doing It Over Again

Twenty years later, 2,600 yuan will not be considered a lot of money, but at the moment when many employees are only paid about 500 yuan per month, more than 2,000 yuan can equal the salary of many people for nearly half a year.

After collecting the money, Shen Shao washed and went to bed after reading the book. He went to bed early and got up early to be healthy. The most important thing was that he had to do something to make money by luck while there were still a few days before school started.

The next day, Shen Shao got up early, put on a set of clean clothes, put another set of clothes in his bag, brought a passbook and more than 2,000 yuan and entered the county town. When the post office opened, he deposited a set of clothes. Qianliu went to the passbook, left a thousand yuan on him, and then walked on the street unhurriedly.

The streets were a bit narrow and dilapidated. He remembered that eighteen years later, Peng County had developed a lot of places. The streets were connected in all directions, and there were many famous brand stores. It was like two worlds from the current gray appearance.

Carrying a thousand yuan and a passbook on his body, Shen Shao did not go to crowded places to join in the fun, but walked slowly on this not-so-long street and watched slowly.

He had a good memory since he was a child, but he was unable to continue his studies because of conditions that did not allow him. After graduating from middle school, I took a car and went out to work for a Chinese restaurant. First I was a vegetable cleaner, then a vegetable cutter, and then I became a chef. I even took the qualification certificate. Although the salary is not low, but Every time he sees those young and beautiful college students, he still has regrets in his heart.

He is now a half-year-old boy, and there is no vendor who sets up a stall to greet him, and no one chases him away when he wants to see something, but most of the time he just doesn't exist.

When he went to the bus station, he had to pass by the county hospital of traditional Chinese medicine. When he got under the county hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, he saw a lot of people selling scratch cards. These scratch cards were two yuan each, and many people would scrape out a piece of soap, a towel or something. , The more advanced ones are bicycle-colored vans, so many people will spend a few dollars to buy two to try their luck.

He remembered that there was a time in his previous life that it was popular to buy such scratch cards. At that time, some people even used their family savings to buy scratch cards, causing a lot of confusion. Later, because of the irregular operation of such scratch cards, they were forced by the government. The cancellation of the order did not cause the common people to continue to gamble aimlessly.

There was a thick layer of scratched cards on the ground. Some children picked up the cards on the ground to play, and some people even found unscratched cards from the ground and picked them up to try their luck.

In the crowd, Shen Shao saw his aunt huddled in the crowd, walking out with a few scratch cards in his hand, looked up to see him hurriedly walking over, touched his head and asked, "Little Has Shao had breakfast yet?"

Shen Shao nodded: "Aunt, I've already eaten."

After thinking about it, my aunt bought two flower rolls at a nearby breakfast restaurant and stuffed them into Shen Shao's arms: "Take it to eat and play, and come to our house for dinner at noon."

Shen Shao shook his head. His uncle's family had two children, and the family conditions were not very good. Although his aunt liked to take advantage of the small things, he was very kind to his own family. The classmates agreed to buy books together and go to his house for dinner later."

When my aunt heard the words, she wanted to give him ten dollars. Seeing that he repeatedly refused, she had no choice but to take the money back and said, "Then be careful on the road, look at the cars when crossing the road, and come to us if you have anything."

"Thank you aunt, I understand," Shen Shao looked at the slightly fat woman in front of him. In his last life, because he went to work after graduating from junior high school, he didn't have much contact with his aunt, but when he went home during the New Year's holiday, his aunt would give He cooks a table of delicious food. Whether it was because he really sympathized with him or because of his uncle's face, he was very grateful for the warmth she had given him.

Shen Shao didn't try his luck by scratching the lottery tickets, but bought a ticket at the bus station and took the bus to Furong City, the provincial capital.

Seremban is a metropolis. Although it is not prosperous after 20 years, its clean and wide streets and towering buildings still show the world the appearance of its capital city.

He came to Furong City now not for anything else, but for one thing he had envied in his previous life. There was a man in the village of Furong City who threw away some dilapidated pots and jars because of the demolition of the old house. As a result, a person who was passing by was found by an expert who found leaks. He sold these things for a few yuan, and collected them for a few years and then sold them. It sold for nearly one million, because the blue-and-white jar and a few dark-patterned flower bowls turned out to be good things during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.

In the past life, this person who picked up the leak went to their Chinese restaurant to eat, and the pomp was terrifying. When he talked about it, he was always excited. He even made it clear when he picked it up, where he picked it up, and how much he spent on it. Chu.

Every time they brag, everyone has to cooperate with a look of envy, otherwise this person will be dissatisfied and turn to the lobby manager to complain that their service is not in place, or the food does not taste good. One to two, whenever this guy comes to the hotel for dinner, everyone can save a lot of trouble by showing respect to him.

Shen Shao also expressed envy for this experience, so after being reborn in this life, he decided to take a look and see if he had this opportunity. If he could find this leak, he would not have to worry about tuition fees.

Now the hotel does not strictly check the people who check in, and they don't need to register with an ID card, so Shen Shao's half-old child went to the hotel to rest. Although the reception staff was strange, but seeing that he had paid the housing fee, he didn't ask any more questions.

The next morning, Shen Shao checked out of the room, took the bus to the suburbs, and called a tricycle for nearly an hour before arriving at the destination.

Shen Shao approached the house that was being demolished. There were rotten wood and tiles on the ground. After looking around, he finally found a dusty blue-and-white bed and a few blue-and-white bowls beside the ditch. He walked quickly to the ditch, picked up a bowl and looked at it carefully. The bowl was missing a small hole, but the overall pattern was well preserved.

"Child, which family do you belong to, demolish the house here, don't play here, be careful when you fall and smash it," a man with a fierce face walked out from the side, and saw that he was holding an old bowl that he didn't want from his home. He said impatiently, "Hold the bowl and play." If he falls and knocks, he will not only lose a sum of money, but also ask for bad mold. The house is being demolished to build a new one. Who would want to encounter such a problem? Kind of bad luck?

Shen Shao looked at the man and said with the bowl in his hand, "Uncle, do you sell these bowls?"

When the man saw that Shen Shao was dressed in ordinary clothes, he didn't look like a child of a rich family, and he was a little unhappy: "You want to buy it? I'll give it to you with twenty yuan."

"Twenty?" Shen Shao took out a pile of change from his trousers pocket and counted out twenty dollars, "My grandma likes bowls like this. Does uncle have a cardboard box at home? I want to put some hay and take these bowls and jars back home."

Seeing that Shen Shao really took out twenty dollars, the man suddenly smiled, and diligently helped Shen Shao find cardboard boxes and hay, and even helped him pack the things and tie them with ropes, "Child, this is The bowl was left by my grandfather’s generation, and when you bring it back, the elders in the family will definitely like it.” Originally, the family threw away the unwanted things, but when he met a stupid boy who insisted on spending money to buy it, he was happy to pick up twenty yuan for nothing. Money, this can buy several kilograms of pork.

Seeing that Shen Shao was struggling to hold the cardboard box, the man enthusiastically called his neighbor who ran three rounds for him to help him negotiate the price, and he was relieved when he saw Shen Shao leaving in the car.

I don't know which family raised a prodigal son, and he used a few broken pots and bowls as treasures, so he still kept it a secret, lest people say that he cheated the children of money.

After getting the things, Shen Shao was worried that he would break the things on the way home and become worthless, so he simply took the car to the antique trading company that has just opened in Furong City and has a good reputation in the future.

Antiques are things that emerged after the 1990s. In recent years, the transaction price has been rising. Although the price is not as scary as after 2010, some local tyrants who have made a fortune now want to buy a bunch of antiques and pile them at home in order to show off their status. As long as it is genuine, there is still no shortage of markets.

Now, because many people don't know the value of antiques, they often sell them as scraps when they encounter those who find them. After that, I don't know how many people regret the psychology that they thought they were cheap.

Although Shen Shao knew that these antiques would be more valuable after 2010, but now he can't get them back, and he is short of money, so he has to resort to this.

After entering the gate of the antique trading company, the staff inside saw that it was a child who brought things, and they thought he was stealing things from the family and sold them, and they were unwilling to register it for him. But I was moved when I heard Shen Shao say that the adults in the family were gone and that he wanted to study but had no money. When he saw that Shen Shao even took out his household registration book and his elementary school graduation photos, his psychological suspicion gradually shook. So a staff member still called his primary school. He didn't say that he wanted to sell antiques, but said that he planned to subsidize part of Shen Shao's tuition fees and wanted to know his real situation.

The first place in the class, the mother committed suicide by drinking pesticides, the father ran away with other women, leaving a half-old child to live alone. After the information was known to the people of the trading company, all doubts were suddenly eliminated, and only sympathy remained. When a female staff saw that Shen Shao was thin, she brought out her own milk biscuits for him, and then urged people to ask experts to identify these things. If they were sure to be genuine, they would help them get a good price.

After the expert appraisal, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because these things are not only genuine products, but also official kiln products during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.

"There will be a large national auction tomorrow. Many big bosses in Xiangcheng and Beijing will come this time. If you are not in a hurry, you can stay in Furong City for two more days. If you can auction it out, you will get the money." The staff who registered the antiques saw Shen Shao's well-behaved appearance, and couldn't help but comforted him again, "Don't worry, the experts said, you are in good condition, and you will definitely get a good price."

Shen Shao smiled gratefully towards the staff, holding the milk as if he was reluctant to drink it. He is a child with no money or power now. Even if he deliberately let others know about his tragic deeds, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Dads who do this kind of thing are not ashamed. Does he still feel ashamed as a victim?

Sure enough, Shen Shao's appearance aroused the sympathy of the on-site staff. In addition, Shen Shao's things were genuine, and they could take part of the commission after the auction, so they were more enthusiastic about Shen Shao, and even arranged for him to live in the name of the company for free. hotel below.

Shen Shao did not go to the hotel arranged by them, but found a nearby hotel by himself. Although it was more expensive, it was fortunately safer.

The next afternoon, as soon as he entered the antiques company, he was warmly received by the staff. After listening to them, he realized that his things had been favored by a big boss in Beijing, so he spent 320,000 yuan. filmed.

This price has greatly exceeded the company's expectations, so after the transaction was successful, the people in charge of receiving Shen Shao were happy. After all, the customers they were in charge of receiving antiques sold at a good price, and they also got dividends.

Thirty-two thousand?

Shen Shao was also a little surprised. He originally thought that it would be good to shoot more than 100,000 yuan, but he did not expect that the price would be doubled.

Is this a stroke of luck?
