"I'm interested."
Jia Dongsheng smiled and said, "I am very interested in porcelain, pottery, calligraphy and painting, coins, and miscellaneous items."
"It's just that I bought a bit too much today, so I won't look at it for now. By the way, Wei Hong, you know the quality of these antiques, right?"
"Um... I don't quite understand." Wei Hong smiled a little awkwardly. There was nothing he could do. Apart from the few years he worked in the credit store and had come into contact with antiques, he had never seen any antiques at other times!
"I see..."
After a pause, Jia Dongsheng said, "You can first pick out the expensive ones, then make a list and send it to me later. I'll take a look and, if it's okay, I'll come over and buy them directly."
"Okay, Brother Dong."
Hearing that he was just asked to make a list, Wei Hong nodded. This task was actually very simple. Although he didn't know which antique was better, in Wei Hong's mind, expensive ones were good.
"Brother Dong, I have made a list. Where should I send it to you?" Wei Hong asked.
"No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, east wing of the central courtyard." Jia Dongsheng said.
"Why does this sound like a slum?"
In Wei Hong's opinion, since Jia Dongsheng was so rich, he should live in a house with a private courtyard or in an apartment building. However, he lived in a slum and was so rich, which made him a little confused.
"Could it be that these things were bought for someone else?"
Regardless of what Wei Hong was thinking, the furniture had already been loaded onto the car by the workers. Jia Dongsheng said goodbye to Wei Hong, got in the car, said an address, and the car started and drove away.
The address Jia Dongsheng went to was near Liulichang. It was a courtyard house with three entrances and was one of the three courtyards left by an old Chinese doctor.
The five-courtyard house was a gift from a spendthrift old woman, but during the Republic of China, he didn't dare live there. He let the old Chinese doctor rent it out and lived in it as a slum. It was not until the liberation of the city in 1949 that he took it back and lived there himself.
The third courtyard near Liulichang was where the old Chinese doctor lived during the Republic of China period. This helped him collect antiques, calligraphy and paintings. However, after accepting Jia Dongsheng as his apprentice, he moved all the things here back to the fifth courtyard. Now all that is left is an empty house.
There is another courtyard with an entrance, which is located in Jinyu Hutong. Because it is small, old Chinese doctors rarely go there, and Jia Dongsheng has not been there many times.
When they arrived at the courtyard house in Liulichang, Jia Dongsheng asked everyone to start moving the furniture and put it into the room in the front yard. After everything was moved in and the door was locked, Jia Dongsheng used the space capabilities of the homestay to take everything away.
Although this is more troublesome, it is the safest way.
Afterwards, the car returned to Nanluoguxiang with the remaining furniture.
"Dongsheng, what did you buy?"
As the workers moved furniture into the central courtyard, the neighbors of the courtyard also came to see what was going on. Jia Zhang saw someone moving things into the house, so she hurried over to check and saw Jia Dongsheng.
"I bought a few pieces of furniture. My study and living room are empty." Jia Dongsheng said with a smile.
"Uncle, is there anything of mine here?" Xiaodang stared with big eyes, full of curiosity.
"Xiaodang, what do you want?"
Jia Dongsheng still liked Xiaodang very much. He held the little girl in his arms and asked, "Why didn't you go out to play today?"
This little girl is very wild. She hangs out here every day, playing with a bunch of kids, and they can play for the whole day.
"I want something delicious, cluck cluck."
Perhaps because he felt that he was too greedy, Xiaodang laughed embarrassedly after saying this.
"You want something delicious?"
Jia Dongsheng said with a smile, then took out something and waved it in front of Xiaodang's eyes: "Look at what this is?"
"Big White Rabbit?"
Xiaodang opened his eyes wide and looked at the White Rabbit candy in Jia Dongsheng's hand. He stretched out his hand happily and said, "Second Uncle, I want to eat candy."
"Well, if you want to eat candy, then eat it." Jia Dongsheng peeled off the candy wrapper and fed the candy into Xiaodang's mouth.
Jia Zhang, who was standing by, watched the conversation between uncle and niece Jia Dongsheng and Xiaodang. She pursed her lips, feeling a little dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything.
In the past, Jia Zhang would definitely have said something. As for what she said, it would be something like Xiaodang was a girl, a money-losing commodity, and why did she eat milk candy?
But now, after being told this several times by Jia Dongsheng, Jia Zhang finally understood that Jia Dongsheng did not have the idea of favoring boys over girls. If she kept saying that, Jia Dongsheng would be unhappy.
Now that life at home is getting better and better, she doesn't want to have conflicts with her son, so she, who favors boys over girls, can only make some changes. Of course, her changes are more about... I still don't like it, but I just don't say it.
As the furniture was unloaded from the truck one piece at a time, the neighbors looked on with envy.
"I remember the Jia family was supposed to have moved in some furniture a couple of days ago. Why are they moving in again?"
"That's easy. I bought furniture twice."
"No, the furniture last time seemed to be newly made by the people who renovated the house. The furniture this time doesn't look new."
"Dongsheng isn't short of money, so why did he buy old furniture after renovating the house?"
"I guess the money has almost been spent. The Jia family has spent a lot of money since I came back."
"I think so too. Although Dongsheng is a man who can make money, he spends money lavishly and can't save money. His future life may not be easy."
This statement attracted the approval of many people. Even Jia Zhang, who was standing next to Jia Dongsheng and happily watching the furniture being moved into the courtyard, began to worry.
These days were the most comfortable days that Jia Zhang had lived in all these years. She was the envy of everyone in the yard, and she hoped it would continue forever. But the more she listened, the more she felt that what these neighbors said made sense. How could she not worry?
"Dongsheng."
Jia Zhang opened her mouth but no words came out. It was not appropriate to talk about this at this time. The neighbors were all here, so she decided to wait and talk about it.
As all the furniture was moved into the house, the workers from the credit store left, and the remaining work was all done by Jia Dongsheng.
"Mom, come and help me put the furniture away."
"I, I do it too?"
Jia Zhang was really reluctant to do it. She had just seen the workers moving the furniture and they were all very tired. She didn't want to get tired too.
Unfortunately, Jia Dongsheng would not give her the chance to be lazy.
Now the Jia family's life is getting better and better, and Jia Zhang is already moving towards the appearance in the drama. If she doesn't exercise more, she will probably become a fat old lady.
Taking this opportunity, Jia Dongsheng had to give Jia Zhangshi a chance to exercise and burn some calories.
"Mom, how can I handle all this furniture by myself? Come and help me. I have to go to work soon."
"All right."
After hearing what Jia Dongsheng said, Jia Zhang could no longer be lazy and could only help Jia Dongsheng lift the table, move the chairs, move the coffee table, and put all the furniture back in place bit by bit.
