"But my brother-in-law is relatively young. Judging from his appearance, he must be in his thirties. I said, Lao Chen, what on earth are you going to do? Why do you want to inquire about my brother-in-law?"
"More than thirty? Are you sure your brother-in-law looks like he is in his thirties?" Old Chen did not answer Wang Ziwen's question, but asked in surprise.
"First of all, please tell me clearly. Why are you asking these questions?"
"Well, it's like this. Just now a young man ran into my shop with two paintings and calligraphy, asking me to see if they could be repaired. He introduced himself as your brother-in-law. I thought he was pretending."
"No, Lao Chen, are you sick? Who else is pretending to be my brother-in-law when you have nothing to do?" Wang Ziwen felt like he was about to vomit blood. He was dragged and asked for a long time just because of this.
"Oh, Lao Wang, don't be angry. The key is that there is something wrong with the calligraphy and painting he brought, so I was thinking too much."
"Something's wrong? What's the problem?" Wang Ziwen also opened the box and took a look at the two calligraphy and paintings he had brought back, but he didn't see anything.
Old Man Chen looked around, and then whispered: "That painting doesn't look like it came from the right way. Your brother-in-law said that it was left in the same house for twenty years and the house was too fashionable.
I looked at it, and it was impossible. The painting looked like it was dug out of the ground, but it was better preserved underneath, so it was so complete.
I said Lao Wang, I heard that your brother-in-law is in the army. You can't do that kind of thing, even if you collect him. I don't know if you have heard of Lao Jia from Liulichang. Isn't he just because
I collected two items of unknown origin and were taken away by the police. It’s been two months and they still haven’t come out.”
Wang Ziwen almost jumped up when he heard this: "Old Chen, you can't talk nonsense. That painting was indeed sorted out when I was cleaning up the house. We are also wondering why it looked like that in just twenty years.
"
Seeing this, Old Man Chen didn't say anything else. He just nodded: "Okay, as long as you have the rules in mind, I'll go play chess. I'll go back first."
After saying that, he waved to Wang Ziwen, walked to the side of the road, pushed his bicycle and left.
He left. Wang Ziwenke was a little frustrated by his words. He was still playing chess and was in no mood.
How the painting came about was told to him by the two siblings. He had never seen the house before. He had just jumped on the wrong foot and had to find out the matter first.
Thinking of this, he turned around and walked in, one by one, he apologized to the old guys who were playing chess and watching flags in the hall, and asked them to come back and play again tomorrow.
After everyone left, I didn't even bother to clean, so I locked the door and ran home.
When he ran back panting all the way, Li Chu, Li Qin, brother and sister, as well as Li Qiaoyun, Wenxuan and Yueyue, were sitting in the living room watching the little stinky baby learning to walk.
Several dogs surrounded their little master loyally, which was really heartbreaking.
"Hey, brother-in-law, why did you come back so early today?"
"Come on, come on, Xiao Chu, come out and I'll tell you something." Wang Ziwen didn't even bother to greet his nephew, and directly waved to Li Chu to go outside to talk.
"What's wrong, brother-in-law? You're running in such a hurry."
"Let me ask you, did you go to Lao Chen's place just now?"
"Yes, I want him to see if there is any possibility of repairing the calligraphy and painting."
"What did he tell you?"
"He didn't say anything. He just said there was nothing he could do. Oh, and he was a little suspicious of my identity. He also seemed to doubt the origin of this painting."
"Xiao Chu, tell your brother-in-law exactly where that painting came from."
"Brother-in-law, what do you mean?" Li Chu looked at Wang Ziwen with wide eyes.
"Old Chen told me that he suspected that the painting was dug out from below." After finishing speaking, Wang Ziwen also stared at his wife and brother.
"What the hell are these? I don't know where those paintings came from, but my sister and I did take them from the room over there in the family courtyard."
Wang Ziwen was relieved when he heard this. He was really worried just now.
In the past two years, more and more people are engaged in antiques, and the prices of those items have been rising steadily. It is inevitable that some people will start to have evil ideas.
After all, antiques must be rare and expensive, and after years of renovation, there are indeed few things.
Groups of people were sweeping the floors in the city, and there was basically nothing interesting left.
Running to the surrounding countryside? That would be too much luck.
What should I do if I still want to make money from this? There is no more money on the ground, so let’s develop underground.
After decades of decline, the Tufuzi business has begun to develop rapidly in the past two years.
What will follow will definitely be a blow.
"Xiao Chu, didn't you say before that there are some paintings and calligraphy in that room? What are you going to do next?"
"What else can I do? I'm going to contact the museum tomorrow and let them handle it."
At this time, Wang Ziwen was completely relieved. It was a good deal and it was worry-free. Their family didn't rely on this to make a living anyway.
"Brother-in-law, you don't trust me or my sister."
"Hey, it's not that I don't trust you. I'm worried that you guys have been deceived." Wang Ziwen quickly shook his head in denial. He didn't dare to admit it. If his wife found out, he would have to scratch him to death.
Li Chu looked at his brother-in-law with a half-smile, but he didn't say anything. After all, he was worried about this family.
"Brother-in-law, are you still going to the teahouse?"
"Forget it, I won't go today. I just closed the door."
"Then go inside, it's cold outside."
Not to mention, I sweated a lot while jogging all the way back. I stopped sweating while standing at the door. It was really cold when the breeze blew.
As soon as I opened the curtain and walked in, the little stinky baby who was standing there holding on to the coffee table saw grandpa. He clapped his hands twice happily and walked over. After taking only two steps, he threw himself forward.
, he didn’t cry, he stood up holding the dog beside him, and continued walking forward.
Just like that, I fell three times from a distance of seven to eight meters before I threw myself into grandpa's arms. I applauded myself happily and laughed loudly.
Children of this age are the most difficult to take care of. It is when they are learning to walk that they don’t like being held by adults, so they have to walk on their own.
An adult followed behind and bent down to support him. After a long time, his waist became unbearable.
Fortunately, they have many dogs at home. Except for Dasheng and Bajie, who are too old to move, the other dogs will always follow the children. The little stinky baby is also solid and does not cry when he falls down, just like before.
The adults were sitting on the sofa talking about their parents' family affairs. The little brat was like a bandit leader, running around the living room with a few dogs, making noises from time to time, laughing for a while, and he was very happy.
