Chapter 317 Return to the Courtyard to Show Off
"You, old lady Jia, are definitely not the kind of person who doesn't pay back debts."
"By the way, when your Dongxu went there, I lent your family fifteen dollars. How about paying it back now?"
Yi Zhonghai said contemptuously.
"Hey, I just said that, don't take it seriously."
Jia Zhang quickly smiled to ease the awkwardness.
It's okay to brag.
If Yi Zhonghai really wants to fight her, that won’t work.
Why should I pay back the money I borrowed with my own ability?
Paying back the money is a fool.
After a while, Sha Zhu held up a wooden box and grinned with joy.
"Old Yi, don't you want to buy something?"
Liu Haizhong asked.
Now only Yi Zhonghai and Yan Fugui have not bought anything.
Yan Fugui had no money, and he didn’t know whether he underestimated the prices in Panjiayuan or overestimated the purchasing power of more than 20 yuan.
Anyway, the little money in his pocket is nothing in Panjiayuan.
"I only buy gold. If I can't buy gold, I'll just take it as a trip."
Yi Zhonghai said calmly.
"Didn't you waste most of the day?"
Jia Zhang asked.
"Let's take a look. Maybe I'll come across something I like and buy it."
Yi Zhonghai looked calm.
He was not like Jia Zhang and others who had dreams of getting rich in their hearts. They could not resist the persuasion of the shop owner and acted impulsively.
Yi Zhonghai has a lot of money.
When I came to Panjiayuan, I wanted to do what Chen Jianye did and buy a piece of gold to make jewelry for an old lady.
Although he has a lot of money, he still feels bad when he has to spend three or four hundred yuan to buy gold jewelry.
It would be best if we could find gold in Panjiayuan.
Even if he doesn't meet him, it won't affect the large amount of savings in Yi Zhonghai's hands.
The next few people continued to search between various stores.
"Alas, it's a pity that I didn't bring enough money this time. I really don't have money to buy it."
"Old Yi, look at this bronze mirror. The surface is covered with rust. It is definitely a genuine product."
Liu Haizhong actively promoted the product.
"I think this is a very good painting. The blooming peonies are so beautiful."
Jia Zhang also expressed her opinions from time to time.
Sha Zhu came across two items that made him jealous, but unfortunately he had no money.
I can’t borrow money, so I can only bear it.
Time flies to noon.
Jia Zhang took out a steamed bun made of two grains of flour and a cup of water from her cloth bag and ate them in big mouthfuls.
Originally, Yi Zhonghai and the others were not hungry, but when they saw how deliciously Jia Zhang was eating, they immediately felt hungry.
"Go back, it's time to eat."
Yi Zhonghai proposed.
At this point they had already walked through two-thirds of the street, and standing in the middle of the road, they could see the last few shops at the end of the road.
"Just go back? I haven't finished watching it yet."
Sha Zhu felt a little unsatisfied.
"You don't have any money in your pocket, what's the point of reading it?"
"You guys can go and see if you want. I have to go back."
Yi Zhonghai's attitude was very firm.
"Let's go back. It's really annoying that I can't even afford to buy something interesting."
Yan Fugui also wanted to go back.
Eating out is expensive and not worth it.
It’s better to go home and eat.
"Let's go."
Liu Haizhong was too lazy to go shopping anymore. In the cloth bag in front of him was a teacup he had bought.
Liu Haizhong is more concerned about whether the teacup is real or fake, or how much the teacup can be sold for.
Several people returned.
the other side.
Ran family.
Ran Dinghong and Chen Jianye sat in the living room chatting.
Seeing that Ran Qiuye lived a happy life after marriage, wearing gold and silver jewelry and having cosmetics to use, she felt that her life was better than when she was in Ran's family.
Ran Dinghong was very happy and didn't ask the couple many questions about their daily life.
Mainly asked Chen Jianye about work.
For example, there are still two months before the job examination, so he asked Chen Jianye how he was preparing and what his plans were after the examination.
Chen Jianye answered one by one.
It's nothing more than working as a section chief in a technical office or workshop.
Both are good choices, you can't have both.
"If you have any difficulties at work, you can tell me."
"Take care of the small things yourself. If you encounter a big matter you are unsure of, come and discuss it with me."
Ran Dinghong gave a warning.
He was still very relieved about Chen Jianye.
The two chatted idly, occasionally talking about national affairs or official policies.
"dinner time."
Ran Qiuye brought the meal to the table.
Chen Jianye and Ran Dinghong stood up.
Ran Dinghong picked up a bottle of Fenjiu and put it on the table.
He was in a good mood today and was ready to have a drink with Chen Jianye.
Naturally, Chen Jianye would not refuse.
They drank half a bottle of wine during the meal, but neither of them drank too much.
Afterwards, Chen Jianye rode his bike and took Ran Qiuye back to the courtyard.
After returning home, Chen Jianye and Ran Qiuye read books.
The sun was blazing, the air outside was scorching, and there was nowhere to walk.
It’s most comfortable to stay at home.
After a while, Chen Jianye heard some noise outside.
"I gonna go see."
Ran Qiuye couldn't sit still, so he closed the book and went out.
After a while, she came back excitedly: "Jianye, the first uncle, the second uncle, the third uncle, as well as Mrs. Jia and Shazhu, they went to Panjiayuan to buy antiques this morning."
"The Second Master and the old lady Jia and Shazhu both sold an antique and were showing it off to the people in the courtyard."
"It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. We don't need to care about it." Chen Jianye said in a flat tone.
“Do you think they bought fakes?”
Ran Qiuye asked.
"If everyone could go to Panjiayuan to buy genuine goods, and if antiques were easy to make, Panjiayuan would have been packed with people long ago."
"I can't say for sure that all the goods they sell are fake. Maybe someone gets lucky and buys the real thing. That's none of my business."
Chen Jianye's tone was flat.
Too lazy to go out.
He judged that these three people had most likely bought fake goods, so there was no need for him to go out and join in the fun.
"You are calm, okay, I will read with you."
Ran Qiuye thought about it and realized that it was true.
Whether others make money or lose money, it has nothing to do with you.
In the courtyard.
Yi Zhonghai and Yan Fugui didn't buy anything and went straight back to the house to eat.
Liu Haizhong, Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi did not go back. Instead, they took out the items they bought and showed them to the residents of the compound.
"Don't underestimate this thing, it's just a plate. It cost me thirty-nine dollars."
"Originally the store offered 60 yuan, but he knew I was special and only charged me the cost price."
Jia Zhang held the wooden box in both hands and said happily.
The people around burst into exclamations.
Thirty-nine bucks for a plate is outrageous.
Qin Huairu's heart sank. Thirty-nine yuan was almost all of Jia Zhang's savings.
One vote and it's all gone.
It would be fine if the plates that Jia Zhang bought were genuine.
But Qin Huairu knew Jia Zhang too well, and knew that this thing was useless.
The money must have been thrown into the water.
"This teacup cost me fifty dollars."
Liu Haizhong handed the teacup to Liu Guangtian and said with his hands behind his back.
"Hiss! So expensive?"
Some people marveled.
"Tsk, it's expensive for a reason. I liked this teacup at first sight. It smells like tea leaves."
"You can tell from the fragrance that it is top-quality tea."
"So I dare say that the previous owner of this teacup was at least a prince, and maybe even the emperor."
Liu Haizhong said with certainty.
Everyone was stunned by what they heard.
