Chapter 212 Shopping

Aunt Hua was her friend who always accompanied her in eating, drinking and having fun, so why did she suddenly encourage her to go to school?

Lin Xiangnan said seriously: "Let's just have fun. I have another person to persuade him to study."

Having Hu Meili at home to keep reminding me of you is enough. I can’t bear any more.

"You think I care about you? There is a shortage of talent in all walks of life right now. Otherwise, the higher-ups wouldn't have thought of restarting the college entrance examination. If you go to college, your future will be even better."

"I understand the reasoning. But I really don't need to study very hard."

Others are strict with themselves and lenient with others, but Lin Xiangnan is the opposite. He doesn't work hard himself, but only focuses on working hard for his family.

Especially Gu Zhenjun and the two brothers Lin Xiangxi from his hometown.

The matter of the college entrance examination has not been decided yet, it is just speculation.

So when Lin Xiangnan wrote home, he didn't dare to be too clear. There was no inducement, only threats.

In addition to the letter, Lin Xiangnan also sent a lot of information.

"Little brother, don't rush out, do another set of papers." Lin Xiangdong reminded with a smile: "Your second sister specially mailed you the papers. If you don't do it, I won't stop your second sister from beating you."

Lin Xiangxi wanted to cry but had no tears. "Then there is no need for me to do the test papers every day. If you don't know, you would think I am taking the high school entrance exam this year."

"I can't help it. Xiaonan sent too many. If you don't hurry up now, you can't wait until you receive Xiaonan's letter to return the letter and start to make up for it. Then it will be too late."

Such a thick document would take several days to finish, even staying up late is not an option.

Lin Xiangdong not only talked about his younger brother, he also accompanied Lin Xiangxi to study together. He had a better foundation, so if the younger brother didn't understand something, he could ask him on the spot.

After studying intensively for a month, Lin Xiangxi felt that his face had turned yellow, as if all his energy had been sucked away by the test papers.

"If we work hard for several months but don't get the college entrance examination..."

Lin Xiangxi couldn't even imagine how devastated he would be at that time.

"No, then no." Lin Xiangdong said calmly, "You are idle anyway. It is good to learn more books. Reading makes people wise."

"That sounds very high-sounding. But in fact, you don't dare to mess with my second sister and mom." Lin Xiangxi spoiled the story.

This is the truth, but Lin Xiangdong still explained it for himself.

"Because your second sister is right. There are indeed some clues in the recent news. And Xiaonan and the others live in the family compound. There are many leaders there, so it is possible that they knew some inside information in advance."

Originally, the news was not definite. Lin Xiangdong and his brother were afraid of causing trouble for Lin Xiangnan, so they stayed at home and studied, lest they be asked about it and it would be difficult to explain.

They would persuade the cousins ​​of the Hu family to learn together, but they would not say a word to outsiders. They would just pretend that they were just having fun, but in fact they were studying very hard behind the scenes.

But Lin Xiangnan doesn't need to pretend, she is really playing.

When I have free time, I take my family and children out to climb mountains and enjoy the scenery, and sometimes we even have a barbecue outside.

Even though Aunt Hua didn't want to play with her recently, Lin Xiangnan still insisted on taking her to the city to buy things.

"I bought an agate bracelet last time. The material is very good." Lin Xiangnan said excitedly: "There are a lot of good things on the market recently. Good things don't wait for people. If you don't act now, the good things will slip away."

It may be that more people have been rehabilitated during this period, and some deeply hidden things have begun to flow into the market after their owners have returned.

After Guo Hongtao returned to the city, before the government's compensation for his salary had arrived, he had already found a way to send his family to the hospital for treatment and to pay back the more than 100 yuan he owed Aunt Hua.

No matter where he got the money, after he returned home, he was able to support the family.

After recovering a large amount of debt, Aunt Hua's wallet was now very bulging. She could not resist any persuasion. When Lin Xiangnan called her, she could not help but follow him into the city to buy things.

They didn't dare go to the antique shop too often, so they could only go there from time to time to take care of those few street urchins they were familiar with.

"Take a look at this candlestick. It must be authentic. I spent a lot of effort to get it." The basket that Gao Ziqiang was carrying was filled not only with eggs and rice, but also a bunch of small miscellaneous items.

In the past, they were just mobile vendors, but now they are on the verge of breaking the law.

"The candlestick is 20 yuan." Lin Xiangnan quoted the price directly.

"OK."

The two parties have been cooperating for so long, and Gao Ziqiang knows that Lin Xiangnan is an upright person and will not take advantage of him, so he will sell it at whatever Lin Xiangnan quotes.

"There is also a gold cup here." Gao Ziqiang said in advance: "I plan to keep this thing for myself. I just want you to help me estimate its value."

Gao Ziqiang didn't have much financial resources, so he didn't dare to keep things like calligraphy and paintings, jade, etc., which were of uncertain quality, but he dared to keep gold.

Aunt Hua was excited to see the prey and was ready to buy it, but after listening to Gao Ziqiang's words, she said regretfully: "This wine glass is from the Tang Dynasty. If it is sold in an antique store, the price should be around one hundred and twenty or thirty."

"It's so expensive. Are you going to buy it?" Gao Ziqiang rubbed his hands. "I'm a little short of money recently. Just keep some cheap stuff for yourself, and forget about the expensive stuff."

"Buy!" Aunt Hua was worrying about how to spend the money she had.

Usually, Lin Xiangnan and the others would just buy one or two items and stop there, but today Aunt Hua pressed on, "Do you have any other goodies? Take them all out and show them to us."

These two are big customers. Gao Ziqiang was delighted. "I got a lot of good stuff recently. You wait for me at the bridge. I'll go home to get the goods."

Gao Ziqiang's eyesight was average, and half of the ten items were fake. But this was enough for him to make money, because he bought these things at a low price with grain, and as long as one of them was real, he would make back his investment.

Now is the time when the prices of antiques are the lowest. When the reform and opening up begin next year, the prices of these things will quickly go up.

Not to mention Lin Xiangnan, even Aunt Hua wouldn't feel bad about buying these things.

The situation gradually became clear. During this period, Aunt Hua was eager to buy more good things and stockpile them, so she and Lin Xiangnan started a shopping spree.
