On Sunday, Tian Shao followed Pei Yue to a rented house in the suburbs. When the two arrived, Lao Suntou was cleaning things there with a young man.
After welcoming the person into the house, Lao Suntou pointed at the young man and said: "Comrade Tian, this is my grandson Xiaozhou. He came back from the countryside last year and had nothing to do at home, so I asked him to come and help me."
If Lao Suntou wants to keep Hu Xiaozhou here, he must tell Pei Yue. When Pei Yue came to see him, he felt that the young man was a down-to-earth and willing to work, so he agreed to let him stay here. With his help, Lao Suntou's work efficiency will be faster.
a lot of.
Tian Shao knelt down and found that what Old Sun was cleaning was something green on the surface that looked like a wine glass. She asked, "Uncle Sun, is this a wine glass?"
Lao Suntou said with a smile: "In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, this was a vessel for holding wine, but it was not called a wine cup at that time, it was called a wine cup."
Tian Shao was shocked and asked: "Shang and Zhou Dynasties? Uncle, do you mean this is something from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties?"
While cleaning it, Lao Suntou said with a smile: "This thing is definitely authentic, but the specific dynasty it comes from needs to be cleaned and identified to be sure."
At this point, Lao Suntou asked: "Comrade Pei, Comrade Tian, I heard that you collected these things from elsewhere. The person who collected the things for you has a good taste, and nearly half of the things collected are genuine."
At first, several of the items he appraised were genuine. At that time, he thought they were stolen goods. Fortunately, Sankui explained that they were collected from the countryside of other provinces, and Pei Yue also confirmed this, so he felt relieved. If it was a thief,
He would never touch the goods.
Tian Shao felt very happy when he heard this: "Uncle Sun, you have worked hard these days."
Lao Suntou shook his head and said: "If it weren't for you and Comrade Pei, my life would be gone. And this is my old profession, there is nothing hard. But you have to hide these things and let people with ulterior motives know about it.
There will be disaster."
Tian Shao smiled and said: "Uncle Sun, you don't have to worry, it's not the same as before. Nowadays, arrests are all about evidence. I have a legitimate origin and I don't have to worry about being investigated."
This time the two of them came here mainly to visit Lao Suntou. As for the things, there was not much to see. The authentic products that had been identified before were sent to the courtyard of Chang'an Street by Sankui a few days ago, and the ones left behind were not yet identified and needed to be cleaned.
.
The two talked for a while, put down their things and left.
Hu Xiaozhou said: "Grandpa, you said before that Comrade Tian is a college student."
"Yes what's the matter?"
Hu Xiaozhou said: "I have seen several college students, and they all dress very plainly. But Comrade Tian is dressed so fashionably that he doesn't look like a college student at all."
Lao Suntou said with a smile: "There is an old saying, a man depends on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. The college students you see wearing simple clothes must be from poor families. Those with good family conditions will definitely dress decently. You
Ah, don’t think about those who have it and don’t have it. Just follow me and learn the craft honestly. Once you learn it well, you will have a job for the rest of your life.”
Although he helps Tian Shao identify old objects, he still doesn't go out. Every day he goes out for a walk and listens. He has a feeling that things are going to change.
Hu Xiaozhou hesitated and asked: "Grandpa, no matter how cheap you get these things, they cost tens of thousands. Grandpa, do you think Comrade Pei or Comrade Tian have so much money?"
Lao Suntou warned: "Comrade Tian just said that these things have a legitimate origin, which means that the source of the money can also be found. But some people's money may not be clean. We are just helping to identify the things, and not much else.
Guan. It’s a good thing to know too much, otherwise you may be killed one day.”
Hu Xiaozhou was shocked and quickly said that he would not ask any more questions in the future.
Looking at the piles of things on the ground, Lao Suntou said: "Stop talking and work hard."
It took less than half a year to clean and identify all these things. But he was not in a hurry. Pei Yue not only gave him a generous salary every month, but also sent fifty kilograms of grain. How could he, an old man, not eat so much, save money?
Everyone who came down helped my daughter. Thanks to the life-saving grace and the generous reward, Lao Suntou also worked very carefully.
Tian Shao left the yard, got in the car and said to Pei Yue, "Do you think the things piled in the corner must be fake?"
Pei Yue said with a smile: "With Lao Suntou's ability, he should not be mistaken. If you are really worried, you can ask Professor Zhang to help identify it again. But we are not the same, and Professor Zhang is not that
Please take more time to help us identify it.”
Tian Shao said: "Just put those things in the house. I will ask Professor Zhang to come over and take a look at them later if I have the opportunity. If I miss them, it would be a pity to throw them away as rubbish."
Pei Yue said with a smile: "Brother Xu and Brother Chen have helped us collect a lot of things. We should be able to load a car back by the end of the year. If we don't throw away these fake things, we won't be able to fit them in."
Tian Shao said generously: "Then buy the house next door as well."
Houses in the suburbs are very cheap. Like the house just now, the area is about the same as the Sanyanjing Hutong where they live, but the price is only over a thousand, which is very cheap.
When Pei Yue heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Why buy so many houses? We don't live in them."
Tian Shao smiled and said: "There will be more and more people in Sijiu City, and they will definitely expand outwards by then. The houses will become more and more valuable. Putting money in a secret room will also collect dust, but buying a house or land can increase in value.
From now on, the two of us won’t dare to do anything, and we won’t have to worry about anything with our family’s real estate.”
Pei Yue doesn't value material things, as long as he has enough food and clothing, so no matter how much money he has, it is just a number to him: "Our salary is enough for daily expenses."
Tian Shao did not refute. Now that prices are low, Pei Yue's salary can indeed allow two people to have enough food and clothing, but it can only go so far.
The two arrived at the house on Chang'an Street. When they entered the room, they found more than fifty wooden boxes. Tian Shao opened his mouth and asked, "Pei Yue, are these genuine?"
Pei Yue said with a smile: "Some things are large and some are very valuable. Uncle Sun specially told these things to be stored separately, otherwise they will be damaged and cannot be repaired."
So although there are many wooden boxes, there are not so many things.
Tian Shao saw a big thing, a bronze tripod, which weighed hundreds of kilograms. She saw a piece of paper placed next to it, and on it was Uncle Sun's explanation.
This bronze tripod was used by the royal family of the Western Zhou Dynasty for sacrifices. Tian Shao's eyes nearly popped out after reading it.
Pei Yue looked at her like this and couldn't laugh or cry. They were just some dead objects and he didn't know why she liked them so much. Pei Yue said: "I will put these things in the secret room these days. If you want to see them in the future, you can only do it when there is no one at home."
Or I went at night."
Tian Shao thinks it is very convenient for the entrance to be in the bedroom.
