In fact, Li Chu still has some doubts about how those calligraphy and paintings turned out like that.
He couldn't understand, it had only been twenty years, and it was not left outside to be exposed to the sun and rain. Even if it was damp inside the house, how could those paintings and calligraphy look like that?
"By the way, sister, where is my brother-in-law?"
"He went to the teahouse in Shichahai. Where else can he go in a day? You have found a good place for your brother-in-law. Why are you looking for him?"
"I just remembered that my brother-in-law knows how to frame calligraphy and paintings. He asked someone to do the paintings in the teahouse."
"Oh, you're talking about Lao Chen, what's wrong?"
"I want to see him first to see if there is any possibility of restoring the calligraphy and painting."
"Didn't you just say to contact the museum to take it away?" Li Qin looked at her brother with some confusion and asked.
"Hey, sister, there are so many paintings and calligraphy placed there that cannot be touched or touched. I feel really uncomfortable."
"I don't care. Didn't you take out two paintings and calligraphy? Since you want to see Lao Chen, you can go and try it. Anyway, just go faster."
"I understand, sister. When my brother-in-law comes back later, I will ask him to take me to find Lao Chen. Regardless of whether it works or not, I will vacate the house over there as soon as possible."
Li Qin looked at his younger brother, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Xiao Chu, your family is not short of money now, but you still have to be careful in everything!"
To be honest, Li Qin was still a little repelled by these antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
Although the policy has been liberalized in the past two years, the situation in the previous years has left many indelible impressions in her heart. Who knows when it will suddenly go backwards again, and if I look back, it will be
It's really going to kill me.
The family's life has been getting better and better in the past few years. The elder couple have retired, and the younger brother and his family are in the army. The development cannot be simply agreed upon.
With everything in front of her, Li Qin felt that even if her parents were still alive, she could not be better than she was now, so she cherished her current life very much, for fear that something would happen that would break this hard-won status.
After listening to his sister's words, Li Chu stood up and walked over, sat down next to her, and put his arms around her shoulders.
"Sister, don't worry, I won't do anything random. I don't have any greed in my heart. I want to keep all those paintings and calligraphy as my own. I just want to see what they are."
Li Qin clapped his brother's hand twice and said in a slightly lower tone: "You know, when I heard about your situation on the day you were awarded the title, the feeling in my heart was not happiness or excitement, but fear.
We siblings have always enjoyed the care of our parents, and were cared for by Uncle Wang. Later, we even married into the Shen family. You think of all the benefits in the world, how come we, the old Li family, are all taking advantage of it?
Xiao Chu, I'm really worried. You and I both understand the principle of prosperity and decline, and I read the reference news I ordered these days, and I feel that the direction of the wind is changing again."
Li Chu was a little enlightened. No wonder he felt that his sister had been a little depressed recently. It turned out that the root cause was here.
My sister has experienced too much in her life. She saw a lot when she was in Nanniwan, not to mention after liberation. Therefore, she is particularly sensitive to this kind of dispute over direction. She can see some clues from the newspapers.
normal.
Li Chu knew very well where the road under his feet was heading, but there were some things he couldn't just say outright. Even if he said it, whether his sister would believe it or not was another matter.
He could only keep saying words of relief. For their family, as long as those old men were still there, nothing would happen.
And after so many years of ups and downs, even without those old men, he can still get through it smoothly with the help of the connections he has built over the years.
He is no longer the little boy he used to be. No matter what he does, he must rely on the capital left by his parents. As long as people still get sick, no one will do anything to him as a famous doctor ranked among the best in the country.
After Li Chu's jokes, Li Qin gradually recovered.
"Don't you want to see Lao Chen's calligraphy and painting? He has a small shop next to Xu Damao's old restaurant. You can easily find it if you go there and look for it. Just say that you are Wang Ziwen's brother-in-law. If he can get it, he will do it.
Done."
"Okay, then let me change my clothes and go over and take a look." Li Chu knew that his sister was still a little worried, so he readily agreed and planned to take the two paintings he took home for a look.
If there is really no way to repair it, then contact the museum as soon as possible tomorrow.
The dean came to see him once before, but he never came back again. Maybe someone told him something.
Although it was impossible to hand over his precious porcelain, he was willing to give to others the paintings and calligraphy that he could not deal with at all.
He got up and walked into the bedroom, took a Chinese tunic suit made for him by Ding Qiunan from the cabinet, and walked out again.
"Can't you buy yourself two pieces of clothes? How many years have you worn this Chinese tunic suit?" Li Qin looked at the clothes in his brother's hand and asked with a frown.
"What's wrong?" Li Chu looked at the clothes in his hands with some confusion, then looked at his sister.
"Isn't this good? The collar is just a little white. My body shape has not changed over the years, so my clothes are suitable."
"Is this a question of appropriateness? I know you like to wear clothes made by Qiunan, but you should at least wear something decent. This looks like it was many years ago. If you wear it like this, the neighborhood
When the neighbors see this, what do you want others to say about Qiunan?
You said you married a fierce woman? You are such a big cadre, and I drive here and there every day, and I can’t even bear to buy you a piece of clothing."
Li Qin's words made Li Chu stunned for a moment. He had never thought about this before. Every time he wore casual clothes, he just pulled something out of the cabinet and put it on without thinking about what others would think of him.
My sister is right, a woman is the face of a man and vice versa.
If a married man wears dirty clothes all the time, others will only say that he married a lazy woman who doesn't even wash her clothes for her husband.
As for a woman, if she doesn’t wear any new clothes all year round, doesn’t even apply any balm on her face, and doesn’t want to go to the mall during the Chinese New Year, then others will only say that the men in her family are incompetent and earn a lot of money.
No money comes.
The same thing applies to the Li Chu family.
The only difference is that no one will say that he has no ability, because the facts are there.
But if he wears clothes that look like they are old, others will definitely talk about Ding Qiunan behind his back.
"I know, sister, there are new clothes inside that Qiunan made for me. I just picked one up casually."
