Lin Fan first went to Tongchun Garden to ride his bicycle, then let Zhou Li lead the way while he rode slowly behind.
The hometown Zhou Li mentioned was a relatively remote courtyard house.
Compared with the courtyard where Lin Fan and the others lived, it was too chilling.
This is also normal.
A large factory like the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is an important industrial resource in Beidu, and its workers are treated very well.
This can be seen from the canteen of the steel rolling mill.
Because steel workers have a heavy workload, their canteen meals always have more meat dishes than other factories.
While other factories have vegetarian dishes, workers at the steel rolling mill can even eat pork from time to time.
Naturally, the standard of accommodation for workers in the factory must also be high.
In comparison, the Zhou Li family, which is just an ordinary family, and even worse than an ordinary family, is naturally in a lot of shabby condition.
"Here we are, that's it."
Zhou Li took Lin Fan into the courtyard, came to an old house and said, then reached out and pushed open the door.
The smell of dust in the room made Lin Fan frown.
"How long has it been since this house was occupied?"
Lin Fan complained a little.
Zhou Li scratched his head: "It's been many years. I haven't lived here since my grandma passed away. I have lived in other places."
There is a hint of helplessness and sadness in this sentence.
Lin Fan didn't ask further, but he knew that Zhou Li was probably alone now.
He was slightly sympathetic to this, but quickly turned to business.
"Where is the old thing you mentioned?"
"Over there, those are all things passed down by people from previous generations. After my grandma passed away, I put them away and didn't move them. Now they are in that cabinet."
Zhou Li said, covering his mouth and nose, and walked to a wooden cabinet in the southeast corner of the room.
This wooden cabinet looks like it has been around for several years, and the wood on it has almost rotted away.
Lin Fan couldn't help but worry that if there really was any treasure inside, it would have aged.
"Mr. Lin, please step aside while I open this cabinet. I'm afraid there will be too much dust later."
After learning that Lin Fan was a high-ranking official of the country, Zhou Li and others changed the title of Lin Fan to Mr. Lin.
Lin Fan nodded, took a few steps back, and covered his mouth and nose with the collar of his clothes to avoid inhaling too much dust later.
Zhou Li stood beside the wooden cabinet and pulled the handle of the wooden cabinet.
Click.
The handle of the wooden cabinet was broken.
It seems that it has been too long and the wood inside has been eaten away by insects.
Zhou Li had no choice but to pick at the crack of the wooden cabinet door and pull the door out with all his strength.
After a lot of effort, I finally opened the door of the wooden cabinet.
After opening it, there was a burst of dust in the room.
After the dust disappeared, Lin Fan walked in and looked inside.
This is an ordinary wardrobe, except for the two large cabinets in the middle, there are two partitions below.
On top of the partition, there are some small boxes.
It seems that inside this box is probably the old object Zhou Li mentioned.
"Before I died of illness, my father was a carpenter. He made this wooden cabinet himself as a betrothal gift when he married my mother."
I don't know whether it was because he was moved by the scene or because he revisited the old place. Zhou Li suddenly remembered the past and talked about his parents' situation.
It turned out that when his parents were still alive, his father made money by doing carpentry, and his mother took care of herself and her grandmother at home. The family lived a pretty good life.
But later, Zhou Li's father fell ill and died, and his mother didn't know whether it was because of sadness or something, so she followed him not long after.
Zhou Li and his grandmother lived together for several years. When Zhou Li came of age, his grandmother also passed away.
From then on, Zhou Li was alone.
Later, because he attended a martial arts school for a period of time, he still had some skills in his hands.
After becoming a little gangster with no one to take care of him, he made some money near the Xidan market every day.
Of course, Zhou Li still had some conscience at that time.
Usually, he would stare at a Buddha in this area, that is, a thief.
After watching the Buddha successfully steal the money, he followed quietly and waited until there was no one around to rob the Buddha.
This kind of thing is called Buddha-washing in Wandao's own circle, and it is something that only powerful game owners dare to do.
After all, if the Buddha you wash happens to be the subordinate of a certain player, and if you don't have much power, you will inevitably suffer a painful meal if you are caught by them.
No, when I was washing Buddha's son one time, I happened to meet someone from Hong Ge Lin.
At that time, Lin Zhong's subordinate Fo Yeer was kidnapped by Zhou Li. Naturally, he brought someone with him. After finding Zhou Li, he beat him up severely.
When Zhou Li was knocked down and unable to move, Brother Hong Linzhong suddenly asked why he did this.
Zhou Li remembers his answer at that time.
He said that everyone in his family was dead, and he was the only one who could not survive without doing this.
After hearing this, Lin Zhong asked again why he only washed the Buddha and didn't commit the robbery himself.
Zhou Li's answer was that it was a good conscience to rob Buddha's money.
After hearing this, Lin Zhong laughed at that time.
"What a good boy, you don't have any skills but you still want to imitate others' conscience and morality."
After saying that, he went up and kicked Zhou Li hard.
"Those who do what we do must treat our loyalty and conscience as if they were snatched away by dogs. Otherwise, when you meet someone with a darker conscience than you, you will be eaten and your bones will be eaten."
"My people will take you to the hospital later for a check-up. From now on, you can follow me. I won't leave you without a meal."
Zhou Li didn't say anything about what happened next.
Because he saw that Lin Fan was enjoying what he heard, he felt that he had delayed Lin Fan's business and felt a little bad.
"Mr. Lin, please read it first. I'm just a bad person and I don't have any good stories to tell."
When Lin Fan saw that he had stopped talking, he smiled slightly and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he focused on the small box on the horizontal board of the wooden cabinet.
Squatting down, Lin Fan took a box and first shook the weight in his hand.
Good guy, it's not that light yet.
Lin Fan opened the box and looked inside.
It seems to be a medium-sized jar, but because the light is too dark, I can't see it clearly.
Lin Fan reached out and took out the jar inside.
This is a porcelain jar, about half the size of a human head.
The surface of the jar is a little oily, but you can still vaguely see the outline of some patterns.
Seeing that Lin Fan took out this jar, Zhou Li began to introduce it to Lin Fan.
"I heard from my grandma that this jar was used by my grandfather's father, my great-grandfather, to raise crickets. Hey, I thought at that time, our family used to be rich before? This jar that raises crickets and crickets, I
It looks like these are all things that rich people play."
"At that time, my grandma said that raising crickets was not a good habit. It was a waste of money. Fortunately, my grandpa didn't learn this habit from my great-great-grandfather. As for what the significance of this jar is, I don't know, and my grandma didn't tell me.
."
this matter.
In fact, it may not be that Zhou Li's grandma didn't tell her, but that she herself didn't know what the jar was.
After all, Zhou Li's grandma, when she was young, the Qing Dynasty was not yet dead.
How could she, a woman, recognize these things?
Lin Fan listened.
I thought that since this was a jar for raising crickets, it probably wasn't a good thing.
Otherwise, who would raise crickets?
However, after all, he couldn't see clearly from here, so he planned to go out and take a look.
Take the jar and walk outside.
Only then did Lin Fan see clearly what the jar looked like.
Although there was a little oil stain on the jar, the pattern still made Lin Fan recognize it.
This pattern is Doucai!
Lin Fan's heart moved and he quickly turned the jar over and looked at the bottom.
Sure enough, at the bottom of the jar, there was a single word "天"!
This is the legendary Doucai Tianzi jar!
Lin Fan still recognized this famous thing.
When Lin Fan first graduated, the industry he worked in was related to collections, although no professional knew much about it, and the company mainly dealt with coins and the like.
However, he still knows some famous things. This is also information issued by the company. After all, if you don't understand these when you are communicating with customers, then what are you using to chat with others?
If you reveal your secret while chatting, how can your customers trust you?
Therefore, although Lin Fan did not know all these famous collections from later generations, he still recognized them.
