After hearing this, Han Bomin understood instantly.

Yesterday I went to Xu's house to pay New Year's greetings to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. My mother-in-law briefly talked about Su Qian's adoptive father.

She said that her adoptive father wanted to harm Su Qian, so Su Qian went to the capital and sent her adoptive father to prison.

Han Bomin could hardly believe that he knew that Su Qian's adoptive father was a high-ranking official and that a little girl like Su Qian could accomplish such a big thing.

He also knew that this matter would definitely require help from others, and his uncle must have contributed, but he did not expect that there would be others.

Han Bomin didn't know what Liao Zhenyuan was capable of, but Su Qian was no longer an ordinary person in Han Bo Min's heart. Su Qian personally brought him to the door and emphasized the relationship between Liao Zhenyuan and her. Han Bo Min immediately understood that he had to do this favor!

Han Bomin thought for a moment and said, "Okay, since she is Sissi's old friend, I have to help her with this."

"I originally planned to bring a salesperson from the factory who is very eloquent. He can help negotiate business."

He pondered for a moment and said, "Then I won't take him with me. It's not good if there are too many people to report him, so just report the names of the three of us."

"However, it is not up to me to decide whether the Exit-Entry Administration can approve it."

Han Bomin said this. In fact, he had no intention of bringing any salesmen with him. Bringing Susie would already cost a lot of extra travel expenses. If there was one more person, the cost would be too much.

He said this to mean that he had made certain sacrifices in this matter.

If it's easy to do something for others, they may not appreciate it.

The more difficult things are, the more difficult they are to handle. When things are finally solved, the favor will be greater.

Han Bomin can be the director of the factory because he not only has a high level of education, but also has a good handle on the worldly affairs.

Uncle Liao was also a good person and said hurriedly: "Thank you very much, Director Han. Regardless of whether the Exit-Entry Administration approves this matter or not, I will be grateful."

Susie was also familiar with these routines and smiled: "Thank you, uncle."

She also accepted this favor from her uncle.

Han Bomin then said: "By the way, I forgot to mention that you need a few one-inch photos to apply for a passport."

Susie said: "Then I'll see if the photo studio is open later. If it's open, I'll go take pictures today."

Han Bomin nodded, and they sat and chatted for a while. Susie and Uncle Liao stood up and left.

After the two of them left, Xu Zhixia closed the door, picked up the newspaper bag left by Uncle Liao on the table and opened it, "Yeah, I took a stick of Peony cigarettes, which cost four or five yuan."

Xu Zhixia said something, took the cigarette into the house and put it in the cabinet.

Since the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, their family has had people come to pay New Year's greetings, and the cabinets are almost full of all kinds of gifts.

Susie and Uncle Liao came out of the food factory and went to the photo studio.

There is a Red Star Photo Studio in Sibei County, not far from the food station and next to the cinema.

The two went over and saw that the photo studios were open, so they went in and took photos.

The photos are not available for collection right now after they were taken. They will have to wait a few days for them to be developed.

The person from the photo studio issued the ticket and warned, "I'll use this ticket to come and get the photos in a few days."

Coming out of the photo studio, Uncle Liao said, "I'm going to Liuzi's house, will you go?"

Susie shook her head, "I have something else to do, you can go ahead."

She planned to go to the scrap collection station and was about to go to the port city. She wanted to see if she could pick up anything and exchange for more money.

Susie asked people about it on the way and soon found the scrap collection station in Sibei County.

The scrap collection station here is relatively remote and larger than the one in Qingshi Town. It has a three-bay facade and is very deep inside, filled with all kinds of scraps.

Susie walked to the door and saw an old man packing things inside. She walked over and said, "Uncle, I want to buy some books. How much does one cost here?"

The uncle looked at Susie and said, "It's a dime a book. The books are piled over there. You can find them yourself."

"But if you make a mess, you have to fix it as it is."

Susie nodded, "Okay, thank you, sir."

Susie walked to the place pointed by her uncle, where there were many books and newspapers piled up.

Susie searched carefully, but there was no letter or anything. She was a little disappointed. She mainly wanted to find some rare stamps, and it seemed that they were not so easy to come across.

She simply selected a few thread-bound books from the pile.

The pages of these books were yellowed and looked very old. Susie didn’t know what the books were. They were all in traditional Chinese characters and were arranged vertically from left to right. She didn’t look carefully. Anyway, it was a dime.

One copy, doesn't matter.

Susie got up and planned to go take a look at the scrap metal, when she suddenly saw a scroll thrown on the ground.

She knelt down and untied the rope that tied the scroll.

Then the scroll was unfolded on the ground, revealing a Chinese painting.

The paper is yellowed, and the main subject of the painting is a stone, with a dead tree next to the stone. The entire painting has no color, just monotonous black lines.

There are many red seals on both sides of the painting, and a large inscription on the left.

Susie couldn't understand the painting. She only thought the composition was good, and she couldn't tell whether it was good or bad. However, the words on it were really well written.

I can’t say what’s good about it, it just looks good and the handwriting is cool and beautiful.

Susie tried hard to distinguish them for a long time, but she didn't recognize any of the words on the seals. There were a few words at the end. She didn't know if they were the signature of the artist, but she couldn't recognize those words either.

However, Susie estimated that there were so many seals on it, which should have been left by the previous collectors of the painting. So many people stamped it, which meant that this painting was not simple.

It's definitely good stuff.

Susie rolled up the painting as it was and tied it with a thin hemp rope.

She went over with two books and scrolls and asked the uncle, "How much is the total?"

The uncle's eyes fell on the scroll, "Hey, why is there such a thing?"

He stretched out his hand and asked, "Let me see what it is?"

Susie had no choice but to hand the scroll to him.

She sighed inwardly, thinking that the uncle would be reluctant to sell it to her after seeing such good words.

The old man took it in his hand and opened it. The yellowed paper and the monotonous stone and dead wood came into view.

The old man didn't fully unfold the scroll. He didn't see any of the inscriptions on the far left side of the picture. He just shook his head at the painting and said, "What is this painting? I can draw better than this!"

He rolled up the scroll and gave it back to Susie, "Please give me fifty cents in total."

Two books, a broken painting, and fifty cents are equal to pure profit.

You know, this money is not transferred to the account, it falls directly into his pocket.

Susie happily took out the money and took a look at the pile of scrap metal before leaving. She didn't find anything good, so she left the scrap collection station and walked towards the station.

When she was almost walking to the cinema, Susie suddenly saw a man and woman coming out of the small door next to the cinema.

The woman was wearing a red plaid cotton-padded jacket with short braids. She was affectionately holding her arm with the man next to her, but immediately let go of her hand when she walked out the door.
