Wen Zheng remained silent, as if he didn't hear An An's words.
An An said again: "Wen Zheng, the sister just now, she said she is a lawyer. Lawyers are very powerful. They can also help disadvantaged groups, which is really good."
Wen Zheng nodded: "Yes, An An, you can also choose to be a lawyer and help people in the same way."
An An's heart was moved for only a second, and she shook her head again: "No, no, a lawyer must have good eloquence. Look at the Hong Kong movies, those lawyers are so amazing."
Wen Zheng also thought that his sister was very cool just now, especially when she was teaching the overbearing contractor a lesson. He also felt a little regretful in his heart that he was still too weak.
Seeing that Wen Zheng didn't say anything, An An happily pulled his arm and said, "Let's go eat something delicious. I'll treat you! I also made some money the other day."
Wen Zheng insisted: "Tell me what you want to eat and I'll treat you. I just got paid."
An An pulled him forward and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? Come on, let's go eat fried tripe. Didn't I pack three meat-filled sesame buns for you this morning? It's just right for us to eat them together."
Wen Zheng was dragged by An An to take the subway and then go to the fried tripe restaurant they often went to.
Along the way, Wen Zheng wanted to explain to An An several times why he came to the construction site, but he never said it in the end. An An didn't seem to care why he came to the construction site to make money. Except for questioning Wen Zheng at the construction site, he never talked about this topic again.
"After dinner, let's go pick out a gift for grandpa. Then we can say we bought it."
Wen Zheng frowned: "Your money is earned by all of you, so the gifts you buy should be considered as belonging to everyone."
An An waved her hands: "This is not it, this is my own money, given by my mother, who only gave it to me secretly. You didn't expect it, did you? There are 200 yuan here, let's go buy gifts together. I have already thought about buying a pocket watch for grandpa, his pocket watch is broken, but I see that the watches in the mall are very expensive, costing one or two thousand. We can't afford it. But we can go to Panjiayuan to have a look."
Wen Zheng frowned: "Panjiayuan? There are antiques there, and we don't know much about it. It's easy to be deceived."
An An patted his chest and said, "I have a way. Just cooperate with me when the time comes."
After they had their meal, they took a bus to Panjiayuan. It was noon and not many people were there. The bosses were all dozing off in their rooms. When they saw someone coming, they opened their eyes and glanced at them casually. When they saw that they were two little kids, they immediately closed their eyes without interest and continued to sleep.
An An only heard about it from Mu Xiaowan, she had never been here. Mu Xiaowan would tell them stories about her youth, always talking about Panjiayuan and the ghost market. She also said that when you come here, you must be quiet and pretend to be knowledgeable.
But An An looked at all kinds of things that looked like antiques everywhere and felt a little confused. Are these real or fake?
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he carefully pulled Wen Zheng aside and asked in a low voice, "You said these are all antiques? How much do they cost?"
Wen Zheng looked around and said, "It shouldn't be. The valuables are definitely not outside. We still have to be careful to avoid being scammed. They put it outside. If we accidentally break it, the boss will say it's an antique and ask us for money. We don't understand."
An An nodded vigorously: "I understand. Second Aunt also said before that there are many twists and turns here. Anyway, we must not touch it."
The two of them walked around carefully, looking around, and finally found a stall selling pocket watches, some of which were very new, while others looked quite old, like antiques.
An An watched carefully, and Wen Zheng cooperated with An An without saying anything or urging her.
The boss, who was originally taking a nap behind the counter, saw the two children come in and refused to leave, and kept watching them. He wanted to sleep, but was afraid that they would encounter thieves who would steal his things. What should he do?
Finally, he stood up with his eyes wide open, and came over in his slippers: "Two kids, what do you want? These things are old things, very valuable."
An An asked hesitantly: "How much is the pocket watch here?"
The boss looked at Wen Zheng, then at An An. The two children had good temperaments and did not look like children from ordinary families. They must be rich. "These pocket watches are not cheap. If you are sincere in buying them, I will give you a sincere price. You are all from Beijing, and you are children. You will definitely not ask for more. And you are buying pocket watches to give to the elderly in your family, right? You are filial children, so I will definitely give you a cheaper price. Which one do you like, little girl?"
An An pointed to one of the pieces and said, "This one."
The boss glanced at An An and said, "This one costs one thousand..."
Before he could finish the number five, An An continued, "I have the same one and I want to sell it to you. Is that okay?"
The boss immediately changed his tone: "You want to sell a pocket watch?"
An An nodded: "Well, my grandfather has the same one, it's a trophy, it looks newer than this one, I want to sell it to you, how much can you offer?"
The boss frowned and looked at An An, as if he was considering whether her words were true or not. It was not that there were no naughty children who stole old items from home to sell, and there were still a lot of them.
Especially some children in the compound, not only did they bring things, but they also brought good things.
But such a well-behaved girl also came to sell things? The boss couldn't believe it.
An An looked disappointed and pulled Wen Zheng: "Brother, let's go and take a look at other people's houses."
The boss yelled, "Wait a minute, is it really like this?"
An An nodded vigorously: "If they are exactly the same, how much can you pay?"
The boss thought for a while and said, "Nowadays, people like mechanical watches like Plum and Seagull. Who still likes pocket watches? So I can't sell them for money now. Seeing that you are still children, I can't bully you. How about this, I will give you 150 yuan. ”
An An was surprised: "That much? You just said one thousand."
The boss waved his hands and said, "That's impossible. How can it cost a thousand? Look how many people are buying this now. I just said that it would be more expensive before, but now it's cheaper, 150. If you bring it to me, I will pay you right away."
An An turned her head to look at Wen Zheng, asking him with her eyes if it was okay.
Wen Zheng nodded. Although he didn't know it, a pocket watch like this at 150 yuan was really not expensive.
An An looked at the boss again and gritted his teeth: "Okay, we'll buy this one, one hundred and fifty, boss, you can't go back on your word."
The boss was a little confused: "Hey, kid, didn't you have a pocket watch to sell? How did you buy it? I can't buy it at your price."
An An is curious: "Then how much do you want? You said it yourself, no one wears pocket watches now. If you sell it to us, we will pay you now. If you don't sell it, we will go to someone else's house to look."
