Chapter 655 The treasure is covered in dust, Han Chunyan has been waiting for seven years
Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin returned home with doubts.
What happened at the entrance of the alley just now has left them still unable to recover.
If someone comes out of the blue and wants to buy something they don't know about, under normal circumstances, they will definitely be wary and suspicious.
But the problem is, not only did they say their name, but they also stated that they were graduates of Peking University and left their phone numbers.
Students from Peking University, as for coming here to deceive them? It’s impossible even if you think about it.
If they were not lied to, could what the other party said be true? Do they really have a huanghuali post box at home?
"Lao Su, what do you think of what just happened?" Liu Xueqin asked her husband.
Su Hongwen also looked at the paper with the phone number written on it. Hearing his wife's words, he replied: "Actually, as long as we make this call, we can know whether Xiao Wu is lying to us; but I think this possibility is very small. He
But students from Peking University won’t come to deceive us two ordinary people, right?”
Liu Xueqin nodded and said: "I am thinking the same thing as you, I just think this matter is too strange. They didn't ask us for money or say anything. Instead, they said they would spend a thousand yuan to buy our things. This is not very strange."
Like a liar."
Su Hongwen: "But the problem is, we don't have that kind of box at all?"
"This is what I find strange. We don't even know about our things. How did he know about it?"
While the two were talking, Grandma Su walked in from outside.
"Hey, you two came back together today?"
"Mother."
When Liu Xueqin saw her mother-in-law, she suddenly thought that they didn't know much about the things at home, but her mother-in-law, who was at home every day, must know much more about the things at home than they did.
So she asked: "Mom, do we have a yellowish wooden box at home? There are also wooden posts with many words engraved on it."
When Su Hongwen heard his wife's words, he also looked at his mother.
Grandma Su looked confused: "Why do you think of asking this?"
Su Hongwen explained: "Mom, when we just came back, we met a person. He said he wanted to buy a huanghuali post box from us, but neither Xueqin nor I had seen this at home, but he didn't
It’s pretty certain that the stuff is at our house, so we thought of asking you.”
"Yes, Mom, if you think about it carefully, he said he was willing to spend a thousand yuan to buy that thing. I think the fact that he paid so much means that the box must be very valuable."
Liu Xueqin added at the side that a thousand yuan made her heart beat, but what concerned her more was the huanghuali note box the other party mentioned.
When Grandma Su heard her daughter-in-law say that the thing was worth a thousand yuan, she suddenly looked shocked and then started to think about it.
"It's so valuable, let me think about it."
Although Grandma Su was old, she was not confused. After thinking carefully for a while, she suddenly thought of it.
"Oh, when I think about it, there seems to be a wooden box that is very similar to what you mentioned."
Su Hongwen immediately urged: "Mom, please bring it over quickly and show it to us."
"Okay, the stuff is in my room. Just wait, I'll take it out now."
With that said, she walked into her room, and after a while, she came out holding a wooden box.
"This is it."
Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin looked at the wooden box on the table curiously. The color of the box was indeed a little yellowish, and it looked a bit old.
"open to take a look."
Su Hongwen opened the wooden box and found that it was full of thread balls.
Grandma Su said: "I don't think this wooden box is of much use, so I use it for sewing. It's quite useful."
If Han Chunming saw this scene, he would probably faint with anger. Such a precious treasure was actually used as a sewing box.
Is there any heavenly principle?
Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin didn't care, they just took out the needlework balls inside, and then saw the golden nanmu wood posts in the box.
"The love of chrysanthemums is rarely heard of by Empress Tao. Who can share the love of lotus..."
Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin were shocked when they saw this piece of Ailian and looked at each other.
"That Xiao Wu, what he said is actually true."
"Is this thing worth a thousand dollars?"
Liu Xueqin looked suspicious, but Su Hongwen said: "I can't say for sure. I think this box is a bit unusual. If you meet someone you like, it's possible that it will cost you one thousand yuan, or even more, but it's not certain."
Grandma Su asked from the side: "Is there really someone who wants to buy this box for a thousand yuan?"
Su Hongwen nodded and said, "Well, he also left us his phone number. We didn't know it before, but now that we know it, should we call him?"
"Don't fight yet."
Liu Xueqin stopped Su Hongwen: "Don't fight for now. We don't know the value of this thing at all. When he says one thousand, is it really just one thousand? Maybe it may be more than one thousand?"
"That makes sense."
Su Hongwen also agreed very much. Their family's conditions were not bad, so naturally they would not be blinded by a thousand dollars.
"Mom, where did this box come from? I don't think I've seen it before."
Liu Xueqin also looked at her mother-in-law with the same curiosity. They had no idea that such a valuable thing was hidden in their home.
Grandma Su was afraid that they would misunderstand, so she quickly explained: "This thing does not belong to our family. Do you still remember the night when Mengmeng was admitted to college and we and the Cheng family celebrated the night for our two children?"
"What does that have to do with this wooden box?"
"That night, didn't that guy Han Chunming come over and give Su Meng a gift, which was this wooden box."
Only then did Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin react.
"Mom, are you saying that this wooden box was given to us by Han Chunming, not from our family?"
"Yes, it was given to Mengmeng by the boy from the Han family. You didn't care at the time, so I took it. Later, Mengmeng didn't want to go back after seeing it. I just put it in the room and used it as a sewing box.
Are things really worth that much?”
Grandma Su couldn't help but ask again. One thousand yuan was not a small amount of money for their family. This wooden box was actually worth so much money, and according to her son and daughter-in-law, it might be worth more.
How could she not care.
Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin looked at each other for a few times, and finally Su Hongwen said: "Since Han Chunming gave it to Mengmeng, we can't sell it. We should wait for Mengmeng to come back, tell her about this, and let her do it herself
Decide."
Grandma Su agreed: "You are right, this is a gift from the Han family to Mengmeng. We cannot dispose of it casually."
Liu Xueqin asked: "Then Xiao Wu, should we still call him today?"
Su Hongwen thought for a while and said: "I won't call you for the time being, but I'll keep the phone number for later."
"Okay, I'll keep it."
When Su Meng came back in the evening, Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin told her what had happened, and Su Meng was also shocked.
"Really or not, is this wooden box really that valuable?"
Su Hongwen said: "It cannot be said that Xiao Wu is willing to pay one thousand, but others may not be willing to pay. It may be more, but it may also be less."
Liu Xueqin said: "Mengmeng, why don't you return this thing to Chunming, we can't take advantage of others."
"Mengmeng, what your mother said makes sense. This is not our thing after all. Although it was given to you by Chunming, we didn't know its value before. Now that we know its value, we can't pretend to be confused.
, greedy for this advantage."
Su Meng hesitated and said: "Chunming gave this to me four years ago, and I'm giving it back now. What's going on?"
"What's more, Han Chunming may not be short of money now. Look at our alley, who can afford a motorcycle? Only Han Chunming can afford it. Maybe they don't care about it at all."
In fact, she was very happy when she knew that the wooden box Han Chunming gave her was worth so much, because she felt that Han Chunming valued her.
But Liu Xueqin didn't think so. Even though Han Chunming seemed to be rich now, in her eyes, he was still a cynical second-rate man who didn't seek advancement, had no future, and was not worthy of her daughter at all.
So she hoped that her daughter could return the things to Han Chunming and draw a clear line with Han Chunming.
"Mengmeng, whether they care or not, now that we know it, we should return it to them."
"Mom, didn't I tell you that this gift was given to me by Han Chunming four years ago? What if I return it to him now?"
"No matter when it was, it should still be returned to Chunming."
Seeing his wife forcing his daughter, Su Hongwen interrupted and said, "Xueqin, that's it. My daughter knows what she knows, so don't say anything."
Although he doesn't think highly of Han Chunming and feels that he is not worthy of his daughter, he is not as guarded as his wife. He pays more attention to his daughter's thoughts.
When Su Meng saw her father speaking for her, she quickly picked up the box and ran back to her room.
Staying in her room, Su Meng looked at the huanghuali post box and thought about it for a long time. In the end, she still didn't make up her mind to return it because she really couldn't bear it.
It wasn't because of the value of the note box that she couldn't bear to part with it, but because of Han Chunming's feelings for him.
This thing is a treasure, but Han Chunming gave it to her without hesitation a few years ago, which shows how much Han Chunming cares about him.
Although she now feels that Han Chunming is not good enough for her, she enjoys Han Chunming's kindness to her and hopes that Han Chunming can still surround her like before.
After thinking about it, Su Meng finally decided not to return the wooden box to Han Chunming.
After Wu Jingui separated from the Su family, he walked around in a circle and then came to Zhou Chen's courtyard.
"How is it?" Zhou Chen asked when he saw Wu Jingui coming back.
Wu Jingui replied: "It went very well. I told them all according to what you said. Judging from their expressions, they should believe it."
Zhou Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, thank you for your hard work, Lao Wu."
Wu Jingui said with a smile: "What kind of hard work is this? It's just running errands and saying a few words."
Zhou Chen said: "Don't go back tonight. Let's have a drink and stay overnight at my place, and then go back tomorrow."
Wu Jingui thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I left my phone number for them. If they call me today and I'm not in the dormitory, it will be a bit troublesome. I'd better go back."
"What you said makes sense, Lao Wu, so I'll thank you for the hard work."
"It's not hard, but I should be the one thanking you."
"Don't say that, you really helped me a lot. When the matter is finished, let's have a nice drink."
"good."
…………
Graduation was approaching and there were no classes to attend. Zhou Chen had nothing to do, so he picked up a bottle of wine and went to Mr. Guan's house.
"Old man, look what I brought you."
As soon as Zhou Chen stepped into the courtyard, he saw Mr. Guan lying on the recliner and said to him with a smile.
As soon as Mr. Guan heard Zhou Chen's voice, his eyes opened.
"Haha, as soon as I heard your voice, I knew I was in for a good drink."
Zhou Chen handed it over, and Mr. Guan took it and took a look, and the smile on his face became even bigger.
"It's five yuan worth of good wine again. Your boy is more generous than my disciple. I don't know what he's been busy with lately. He hasn't been here for a long time. It's a shame that I can only drink wine for one yuan a piece."
Mr. Guan is not short of money, but he doesn't dare to keep a high profile. When he goes to buy food and wine alone, he always buys them cheaply.
Only when Han Chunming and Zhou Chen come, will they bring him good wine.
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Chunming has been busy recently. Even I don't know where he went."
Of course he knows what Han Chunming is doing now. In addition to the business of collecting junk, Han Chunming is also engaged in smuggling business.
Otherwise, how could he afford a motorcycle? His motorcycle cost several thousand yuan.
Zhou Chen helped Mr. Guan into the house, watched him drink, chatted with him about antiques for a while, and then prepared to leave.
But before he stood up, Mr. Guan suddenly asked: "Zhou Chen, are you free tomorrow?"
Zhou Chen said: "I'm just waiting for graduation now. I don't have any classes. Master, do you have any instructions?"
He still admired Mr. Guan very much. The books that Mr. Guan gave him had helped him a lot and allowed him to learn a lot of knowledge and experience that could not be learned in books.
Although Mr. Guan did not teach him face to face, to Zhou Chen, Mr. Guan could be regarded as half of his teacher.
As long as Mr. Guan is not talking about anything particularly embarrassing, he will naturally not shirk it.
Mr. Guan did not say directly, but asked again: "Can you get a four-wheeler?"
Hearing this description, Zhou Chen couldn't help laughing.
"Of course, no problem. Master, do you want to use the car tomorrow? When will you use it? I will drive the car over to pick you up personally."
Mr. Guan then nodded with satisfaction and said, "Tomorrow my granddaughter will come back from abroad. You drive to take me and we will pick up my granddaughter at the airport."
"Your granddaughter?"
Zhou Chen was surprised. He had watched the TV series and naturally knew that Mr. Guan had a granddaughter who was also an important supporting role in the TV series and would marry Han Chunming's follower Li Chengtao in the future.
It's just that since he met Mr. Guan, he has never seen his granddaughter. It turns out that she has not returned from abroad.
"Yes, your admiral's grandpa's only granddaughter has been taken abroad by my unfilial son and disrespectful daughter-in-law since she was a child. Now that she has grown up, I am worried that if she stays abroad again, even her ancestors will be forgotten.
, so I let her come back."
When talking about his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. Guan, who had always been calm and calm, as if he didn't care about anything, showed an angry expression.
Zhou Chen thought of the behavior of Mr. Guan's son and daughter-in-law in the TV series and agreed with his words very much.
"Old man, you made the right decision. No matter how good the foreign country is, it is not as good as our own country."
"Hey, you kid has touched on my heart. The old man knows better than anyone what foreigners are like. How can they compare to our huge country, China?"
"That is, although our country is still lagging behind now, it will not be long before we can catch up with those so-called powerful countries. I dare not say anything else, but one thing is that our country is much safer than those so-called powerful countries."
Zhou Chen has lived for several decades, so he is very clear about the future direction of the world. That beautiful country that was blown up to the sky is not as safe as our country. If you go there, your life safety will not be guaranteed.
"Haha, boy, that's good, I've been waiting for this day too."
Zhou Chen asked: "Old man, when will I come to pick you up tomorrow?"
"The plane is scheduled to arrive at two o'clock in the afternoon, please come and pick me up early."
"Okay, then I'll borrow a car tomorrow morning and bring you some food at noon."
"Okay, that's the arrangement."
"clear."
Buying a car is not a difficult thing for Zhou Chen. Although he doesn't have much savings now, that's because all his money is used to buy cultural relics.
He basically visited all the large and small cultural relic shops in Yanjing. This way of shopping, spending money was naturally as easy as running water.
He is not in the buying and selling business like Han Chunming, but in the past few years, he has not stopped making money when he was in school.
But because I was in college and didn't want to waste too much energy and life, I didn't go into serious business to make money.
But it was easy for him to go out and borrow a car.
After leaving Mr. Guan's house, Zhou Chen went straight to the library.
After he went to college four years ago, he did not lose contact with the library. After all, there was still translation work there, which allowed him to make extra money.
For him, translating books is easy and free, and he can earn a lot of money, so he will not give up.
Four years have passed, and the old director has retired. The current director is Zhao Lijie. The word "vice" on his head was officially removed last year.
Zhou Chen was planning to borrow a car from Zhao Lijie. As the director of a large library, he was naturally qualified to borrow a car.
Things went very smoothly. Zhou Chen came to the library and told Zhao Lijie. Not long after, he drove away in Zhao Lijie's car.
Zhao Lijie's car is a Roman Jeep, which is what most cadres in the country now drive. This car is not new and is difficult to drive, but this is not a problem for Zhou Chen.
When Zhou Chen drove the jeep back to the alley, he immediately attracted countless stares.
It's only 1982, and cars these days are still very rare, especially in alleys like theirs, where cars are rarely seen.
Zhou Chen drove the car to the door of his house. Before he got out of the car, he saw Han Chunyan standing at the door.
Zhou Chen got out of the car and walked towards Han Chunyan: "Chunyan, why are you here."
Four years have passed, Han Chunyan is still not married, and is still waiting for him, and Zhou Chen is really sweet, and no longer deliberately alienates Han Chunyan, and no longer rejects her.
Although the two of them have not yet confirmed their relationship with each other, Zhou Chen has gradually let down his guard and begun to try to accept Han Chunyan.
A woman can wait arduously for seven years for you, and she has not had a single date in these seven years, waiting for you with all her heart.
Zhou Chen feels that he is still not hard-hearted enough, and time has gradually smoothed away his sadness in the previous world, so although he has not yet thought about finding a woman.
But I have thought that if you are looking for a woman in this world, it is best to find a woman who loves you.
As a person who is determined to live over a hundred years old, there is no need to give up on female sex, but it cannot be excessive.
Whether Zhou Chen is beautiful or not is not the first factor in finding a woman. After so many years in the world, he has seen too many beautiful women. Most of the beautiful women can be messed with.
Since you want to live a long life, it's best not to find women who can toss things around, nor do you want to find women with big tempers and big ambitions.
After much deliberation, finding a woman who has a good personality and loves herself more than anything else is undoubtedly the best choice.
Therefore, even though Han Chunyan is not the best woman, she definitely meets his standards for finding a woman in this world.
Han Chunyan raised the thermos pot in her hand with a smile and said, "I made a pot of chicken soup today and brought it over for you to try to see if my skills have improved."
Zhou Chen is already thirty-one this year, and Han Chunyan, who is one year older than Zhou Chen, is already thirty-two this year.
Although she is thirty-two years old and looks very young because she is not married and takes good care of herself, compared with a woman in her early twenties, she can still clearly see the difference.
But standing next to Zhou Chen, apart from being much smaller than Zhou Chen in stature, they are a good match in other aspects.
Because of Zhou Chen's strong physique, he later grew a second time, reaching a height of 1.82 meters, while Han Chunyan was only about 1.63 meters tall.
In fact, in this era, a woman's height of 1.63 meters is already considered tall.
But standing next to Zhou Chen and not wearing high heels, I could see the difference.
As for Zhou Chen's appearance, his physique is very strong, but he is not immortal. As he grows older, he will still get older.
But he knows how to take care of himself, so even though he is thirty-one years old, he still looks like a twenty-year-old man.
When standing together with Han Chunyan, it feels like a sister-brother relationship.
"Thank you, let's go inside and talk."
Zhou Chen opened the door and took Han Chunyan into the courtyard.
Han Chunyan stayed at Zhou Chen's house until evening and left after dinner.
As he gradually adapted to Han Chunyan's existence and thoughts, Zhou Chen knew that he would never be able to draw a clear line with this woman in his life.
However, he felt very comfortable with this kind of relationship between man and woman that was natural and without too many twists and turns.
Early the next morning, Zhou Chen drove to the restaurant, packed a few dishes, and headed to Mr. Guan's house.
After eating with Mr. Guan, I helped Mr. Guan get into the car and drove to the airport to pick him up.
"This car isn't very good, but you drive it very steadily."
Mr. Guan rarely rides in a car, but he has a lot of experience. Zhou Chen's car drove very steadily. He only felt slight bumps, which was completely different from the feeling he had in the past.
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "It's okay, as long as you don't feel uncomfortable."
He knew that Mr. Guan was over seventy years old and his body was not as strong as that of young people, so he drove very steadily and slowly.
Because we left earlier, even if the car drove very slowly, it was only after one o'clock when we arrived at the airport, and there was still more than an hour before the plane arrived.
Two hours later, Zhou Chen, who was waiting in the waiting hall, couldn't help but walk to where Mr. Guan was sitting.
"Old man, didn't you say the flight was at two o'clock? It's already past three o'clock, why hasn't it arrived yet? Did you remember the wrong flight?"
Mr. Guan pinched his neck and shouted: "Impossible, I can't remember it wrong. It's past two o'clock. I told the little lazy cat that I would bring someone over to pick her up. I can't be wrong."
Zhou Chen didn't know whether what Mr. Guan said was true, but Mr. Guan didn't know the specific flight information of the plane.
