"What's this good thing?" Zhang Yan asked following Zhang Fusheng's words.

"Let me show you!" Zhang Fusheng turned around and entered the room, and soon took out a jar.

This is a large blue and white jar with a picture of an old man.

It looks like the bottom is from the Yuan Dynasty.

If this is true, it is worth a lot of money.

With Zhang Yan's meager knowledge of antiques, he also knew that decades later, this thing would be worth hundreds of millions.

"Dad, when you go out to collect antiques, help me pay attention to rare ancient books."

"What kind of rare ancient books do you want?"

"Anything is fine, as long as it is a rare ancient book, I want it.

Don't worry, I'll charge you a high price! I won't let your work go in vain." Zhang Yan knew Zhang Fusheng's temper very well and added with a smile.

"What you are saying is that we are father-in-law, how can I still make money from you?" Zhang Fusheng said angrily.

It would be even more touching if I could still earn your money instead of I can still ask for your money.

However, this is very Zhang Fusheng.

"It's okay. Just treat this money as my filial piety to you. How about giving you fifty cents for a book?" Zhang Yan said with a smile.

"Fifty cents for a book? Any kind of ancient and rare books will do?" Zhang Fusheng asked with some surprise.

You know, he has seen a lot of ancient books in the countryside, and he can collect them for just five cents and ten cents.

If you resell it to the boss, this is a profit of five to ten times.

"Yes!" Zhang Yan nodded solemnly.

In the blink of an eye, the next day came, Zhang Yan was just pushing his bicycle out of the courtyard when he was stopped by a young man.

"Uncle Zhang!"

"It's your kid! Stop me, what's the matter?" Zhang Yan saw clearly that the person blocking the car was none other than Ge Hongjun, the second son of Ge Shurong's family. He stopped the car and asked with a smile.

"Uncle Zhang, I want to learn from you." Ge Hongjun hesitated for a moment and said firmly.

"Learn my skills from me? Do you want to study medicine?" Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment and asked casually.

"No, I want to learn boxing from you."

"Learn boxing from me?" Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, then asked: "How do you know I know how to box?"

After asking, he figured it out. It must have been the little carrot head who told him.

In addition to being a social jerk, this little carrot head also has another problem, and that is a big mouth.

Some time ago, when Zhang Yan asked Zhao Shengli and others to practice boxing, he also taught Xiaoluotou and others.

"Why do you want to learn boxing from me?"

"I...I..." Ge Hongjun lowered his head and scratched randomly on the ground with his feet.

"Did you fight with people outside and never hit them?" Zhang Yan guessed the whole story after thinking about it for a while.

Yesterday, Ge Hongjun's arm was dislocated. It was obviously not an accident, but he got into a fight outside and lost.

Then I heard that I could box, so I came up with the idea of ​​learning boxing from me.

"Uncle Zhang, please ask me to practice boxing! I will definitely respect you in the future." Ge Hongjun said and bowed to Zhang Yan repeatedly.

Zhang Yang was about to reject him when something suddenly occurred to him. Instead of rejecting him directly, he asked with a smile: "Xiaojun, why didn't you go to school today?"

"Uncle Zhang, I don't want to go to school anymore. I want to practice boxing with you?"

"Why?"

"Because..." Ge Hongjun lowered his head and thought for a long time without giving any reason.

Zhang Yan guessed that Ge Hongjun was unwilling to study and couldn't understand the teacher's lectures. Then he was even more unwilling to study. He gradually got tired of studying and played truant.

"Xiaojun, it's not Uncle Zhang's preaching. Children from ordinary families like us have only two ways to change their destiny, one is to go to school, and the other is to join the army.

Joining the army means risking your life for a chance to change your destiny, which is very difficult.

Uncle Zhang got his start in the army. He joined the army with me back then. There were more than 300 people in our battalion, but in the end, less than 30 people survived.

Studying is the easiest way. As long as you study hard and pass high school, you can change your destiny. If you enter a factory, you will be looked down upon.

With your current primary school level, if you don't go to school, you will end up like those wild children on the street, fighting every day, or committing petty thefts."

Ge Hongjun wanted to defend, but Zhang Yan waved his hand and continued: "You have three children in your family, and you are the second child. Even if you are the successor, you will not be able to take over.

You learn boxing from me and want to be a gun master?"

"No, I practice boxing to prevent people like Yuan Jinjun from bullying me."

"Someone bullies you? That's why you don't want to go to school? Where is your eldest brother? Aren't you three brothers? They still dare to bully you?"

"There are so many of them, we can't defeat them." Ge Hongjun lowered his head and whispered.

"Xiaojun, it's not that Uncle Zhang doesn't teach you boxing, it's actually not as easy as you think.

Uncle Zhang won’t tell you anything. The purpose of practicing boxing is not to be competitive or to bully the weak.

Let’s just talk about the difficulty of practicing boxing. People in the past often said that the poor in culture and the rich in martial arts.”

"Uncle Zhang, I don't have any money now, but when I start working, I can double the money I earn to pay for your tuition."

"You kid, what nonsense are you talking about?

When I say that the poor in literature and rich in martial arts do not mean that you have to pay tuition to learn martial arts.

Let’s not talk about anything else. Learning martial arts requires qi and blood. You must eat meat regularly to replenish qi and blood.

How many people can afford to eat meat now?

If you don't eat meat, not only will you not be able to keep fit, but you will also injure your body. In the end, you won't be able to practice boxing well, but you will end up with a whole body of diseases.

Do you have money to buy meat to replenish your energy and blood?"

"I······"

"Come to me after you think about it!" After Zhang Yan finished speaking, he got on the car and left.

Ge Hongjun clenched his fists tightly and looked at Zhang Yan's back.

Zhang Yan's words greatly stimulated him.

You have to have money to eat meat in order to practice boxing.

However, his family's situation is such that they can't even have enough to eat.

what to do?

If you don't practice boxing, you won't be able to teach those who bully you, and you won't be able to go to school with peace of mind.

However, if you want to practice boxing, you have to eat meat.

But, he has no money.

For the first time, Ge Hongjun felt that money was so important.

Ge Hongjun frowned tightly, using his little knowledge to think about how to get money and how to buy meat.

Not to mention, it really made Ge Hongjun think of a way to get meat.

Ge Hongjun hid in a small alley and waited until after eight o'clock, when his father Ge Shurong went to work, and then quietly returned home.

He secretly rummaged through the house and found a hammer and a chisel.

This is a set of tricks his father used when he was a mason.

He picked up the hammer and chisel, secretly picked up an iron pipe and a water ladle from the yard, and quickly ran out of the house.

Jogging all the way to Shichahai.

Ge Hongjun's idea was to dig through the ice to catch fish.

He saw that Zhang Yan's family often ate fish, and he also heard Zhang Fusheng brag that he could sell the fish he caught to the supply and marketing cooperative if he couldn't finish it, and that a pound of fish could be sold for ten cents.

He had done the job of digging through the ice to catch fish before. At that time, he only cut through the ice to catch fish because he was greedy for meat.
