I looked at my father Jackie Chan in 1988

The Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, and more and more people are returning to their hometowns for the New Year.

When there are too many people here, it is inevitable to visit relatives and friends.

Because of this, a rumor has been circulating in the village where Ji Ai's country is located these days.

That kid from Lao Ji's family was tricked into going out of town and sold to Kuyao!

"Have you heard? Aiguo and Xiaoqing were kidnapped!"

"Ah? What's going on?"

"Does Ji Sheng know?"

"Who is he? I just came back from another place. Don't talk to me about what's there and what's not. Tell me directly."

"It's like this. A while ago, that boy Aiguo met a big brother who was a gangster, his name is Ji Sheng. This guy is very bad. First, he brought Aiguo, Xiaoqing and Xiaomin to make a little money, and then guess what? ? They kidnapped and sold people!"

"Can't you?"

"Why not? I've been out for almost a week, and it's almost New Year's Eve. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and tomorrow will be Chinese New Year's Eve. Aiguo and Xiaoqing haven't come back yet. They were kidnapped or trafficked?"

Rumors are flying everywhere.

If this rumor came from other people, maybe everyone would still question it, but the instigator of this rumor was Ji Min, who had made money with Ji Sheng and had a very close relationship with Ji Aiguo and Ji Qing. , Immediately let the villagers believe it.

Home.

Many people gathered around Ji Sheng's grandparents to persuade them.

"Old Ji, you really can't call the police."

"That's right, it's New Year's Eve tomorrow, and Aiguo hasn't come back yet. If you don't call the police, he's really going to live in a bitter kiln."

A few neighbors kindly reminded me.

"No, Ji Sheng is not that kind of person."

"The young man is in a good mood."

On the contrary, Grandma Wu and Grandma Zhu were very supportive.

There was a lot of noise in the room.

At this time, Ji Min's eccentric voice came out, "I want to take people out for so many days and disappear? I didn't say that, thanks to my quick awakening, otherwise I would have been tricked by him to sell bitter kilns in other places. He He also lied to me that he would take me out to make a lot of money, luckily..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of a car braking at the door.

There was a squeak.

Everyone stopped talking and looked out curiously, only to find that it was a taxi!

Nowadays, small bridge cars are rare goods. Although taxis are not private cars, those who can afford them are rich people.

There is a joke that is not a joke. At this time, when people take a taxi, they will show half of their body through the window, for fear that others will not see it!

When a dozen people inside and outside the house saw the taxi coming in, they all became curious, and said to themselves, who is this, who still takes a taxi?

The same is true for Ji Min, he stood on tiptoe and looked out through the shoulder of Ji Aiguo's elder brother Ji Aimin in front.

Click, the door opened.

I saw the well-dressed Ji Aiguo coming down with his hair combed back.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Qing, who was still wearing fashionable toad glasses at night, also came out from the other side of the car door.

what?

Patriotic and Xiaoqing?

Weren't they sold to the bitter kiln?

Why did you come back by taxi in a fashionable new dress?

Everyone was stunned.

Especially Ji Min rubbed his eyes in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.

Just when everyone was in a daze, a young voice came from the passenger seat, "Patriotic, Xiaoqing, hurry up and remove everything in the trunk, don't delay the master's business."

"Okay!" Ji Qing replied and walked to the back of the car.

Ji Aiguo looked up, "Hey, brother, you're back too? It's just right, come and give me a hand."

Ji Aimin didn't realize what was going on, but ran over with an "oh".

Only then did Ji Sheng say "Twenty is right, master", and he got out of the passenger seat when he heard the taxi master say "That's right".

What the hell!

20 yuan to take a taxi back?

Everyone's jaws dropped in astonishment. Although some of them work in other places and know that it costs about one yuan per kilometer to take a taxi, who is willing to spend half a month's salary to take a taxi?

Just when they felt that Ji Sheng was too prodigal, the trunk of the taxi was opened, and a bunch of New Year's goods in the trunk blinded them!

"Hey, Patriotic, why do you buy so many things? How much does it cost?" Grandma and grandpa rushed to the door as soon as they saw their son came back safely. They wanted to ask about the situation, but the old couple saw it. There are so many things, all of which are painful.

Ji Aiguo scratched the back of his head honestly, "It took a lot. Xiaoqing and I spent 200 yuan to buy some New Year's goods when we came back. Brother Xiaosheng bought [-] yuan and told everyone."

"How many!?"

"Three people spend 400 yuan on New Year's goods?"

"Crazy! Are the three of them crazy?

Before grandpa and grandma could speak, the neighbors watching bluffed, their eyes widened.

Grandparents and Ji Aimin, who was about to help move things, also trembled when they heard this.

400 yuan?

Some farmers only earn so much a year!

This is not a joke. Just take the past 540 as an example. The per capita net income of farmers in the country was only [-] yuan, which also included some economically developed areas. There is no income of four hundred.

But what about Ji Sheng, Ji Aiguo and Ji Qing?How can it not be surprising that the three of them spend [-] on New Year's goods together?

Ji Min's mind went blank as he listened. He only had one thought in his mind at the moment, and that was that Ji Sheng took Ji Aiguo and Ji Qing out this time and made a lot of money again!

Thinking of this, Ji Min's whole face turned livid. Originally, he also had a chance to make a lot of money, but he gave up abruptly!

At this moment, he didn't regret it much.

However, Ji Min was still comforting himself and felt that his guess was wrong. Maybe Ji Sheng and Ji Aiguo and Ji Qing spent all the money they earned on buying new year’s goods. After all, Ji Sheng had spent more than 1000 yuan on stamps last time. It's the same this time, Ji Sheng and the others must have spent all their money before returning.

The next words disappointed Ji Min.

I saw Ji Qing glanced at Ji Min, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "It really didn't cost much. Aiguo and I went to Shanghai with brother Xiao Sheng and made three hundred a day. Spending one hundred to buy new year's goods is not much."

Ji Sheng's uncle, Ji Aimin, was taken aback, and stammered, "You... the three of you earned 900 yuan in a few days?"

The others also held their breath, wanting to hear Ji Qing's answer.

"No." Ji Qing shook his head.

Ji Min breathed a sigh of relief and just said it.

The others also shook their heads with a smile. It is simply impossible to earn [-] in a few days.

But what no one expected was that Ji Qing's next sentence would scare people to death, "Brother Xiaosheng paid me and Aiguo 300 yuan as a salary. It’s so convenient to tell you.”

Ji Min: "..."

grandparents:"……"

Ji Aimin and others: "..."

Everyone looked at Ji Sheng with darkened eyes. Ji Aiguo and Ji Qing were both paid [-] yuan, so how much money would he have to earn?

Ji Min, who was only a little bit regretful at first, heard this, but now his guts are green with regret. Originally, he would have earned so much if he went out with Ji Cheng, even if he didn't have [-], and the three of them shared [-] equally, he would still have [-]!

but?

Ji Min was resentful because Ji Sheng took them to the county town that day because they couldn't sell their things and didn't get paid, so he voluntarily gave up this opportunity to make a fortune!

"Okay, Xiaoqing, patriotism, don't brag." Ji Sheng's character is still relatively low-key, he directed; "It happens that all aunts and uncles are here, you move your things in first, so as not to delay the master's business, and then put Send some of these things to my aunts and uncles.”

"Hey, okay."

"Brother, help me move things together."

Ji Aiguo, Ji Qing and Ji Aimin worked hard to move things.

Not long after, everything was moved.

A table full of New Year's goods, all piled up like a hill!

Only then did everyone finally admit the fact that Ji Sheng is not only not the liar that Ji Min said, on the contrary, he is still a man of great ability!

"Aunt Wu, this longan is for you."

"Aiyo Xiaoji...Nephew Xiaosheng, how can you be so embarrassing?"

"Aunt Zhu, I heard that you like candy, so I bought you a big bag of white rabbit toffee."

"You boy."

All the people present were more or less allocated New Year's goods, and they were all very happy. Even Ji Min got a pack of red dates in embarrassment.

Although Ji Sheng is not ashamed of Ji Min's character, there are some things he won't show on the surface of his fellow villagers.

Of course, he paid for everyone's New Year's goods out of his own pocket. It must be because he has too much money and no place to spend extravagantly. There is a purpose for doing so.

First, he wants to establish a good reputation for himself. If he wants to employ people in the future, there are people in the village who are willing to go out with him to "make a lot of money".

Second, Ji Cheng remembers that there are many old grandpas and grandmas in the village. Some of these people have lived from the Qing Dynasty to the present, and there are more or less old things in their homes. Buy old items.

He would not say these words in person, otherwise people would be on guard.

No, Grandma Wu said embarrassedly: "Nephew, you still think of bringing me new year's goods, how can I thank you?"

Ji Sheng didn't speak, but gave Ji Qing a look.

Ji Qing understood, smiled and said, "Aunt Wu, do you really want to thank brother Xiaosheng?"

"Of course." Grandma Wu said: "But Xiao Sheng doesn't look like a master who is short of money. I really can't think of how to thank him."

Ji Qing snorted, "Brother Xiao Sheng likes to collect, do you have any old objects in your home, such as copper plates from the Qing Dynasty, silver coins from the Republic of China, etc."

Ji Sheng sang the oboe, pretending to be stern and said: "Xiaoqing! What are you talking about? How can I take everyone's things for no reason?"

Ji Qing was very slippery and seemed at a loss.

Grandma Wu's eyes lit up and she said, "Hey, I do have some copper coins left by my mother at home. Xiao Sheng, you're welcome. Auntie will bring them to you."

Ji Sheng quickly grabbed her, "You can't do it."

"What's wrong with it? It's worthless." Grandma Wu patted the back of his hand with a smile.

Ji Sheng stopped him for a while.

Grandma Wu insisted on taking copper coins for him.

In the end, Ji Sheng really had no choice but to say: "Since this is the case, Aunt Wu, I will not ambiguous with you, if you really bring copper coins, I will give you five yuan each, otherwise I will not feel at ease holding things. "

Grandma Wu wanted to be polite when she opened her mouth, but the temptation of five yuan a copper coin was too great, she couldn't be more polite, and finally swallowed, "Okay, okay, Xiaosheng, you are so kind, you wait Come on, I'll bring you the copper plate right away."

Grandma Wu went back with the longan in her arms.

When the others heard that Ji Sheng, a "bad man", was willing to pay five yuan for copper plates, they all felt very enthusiastic. Those old things are really useless at home, and it would be better to turn them into cash.

This is how many people view antiques in the current era. It is precisely because of this view that many people now sell antiques as junk.

Take the collection master Ma Weidu as an example, many of his collections were picked up in the 80s. As for how to pick up the leaks, does it need to be said?

Nowadays, there is not much interest in collecting antiques in China.

The real collection boom in China did not start until [-], when the collectors association was established in China, coupled with the rapid development of the domestic economy after the reform and opening up, the people's living standards have been greatly improved, and the number of holidays has gradually increased. Really fire up.

Ever since, the remaining people all took the opportunity to speak.

"Young man, I don't even know you. You even brought me new year's goods. No, I'm embarrassed to take the things. I'll go home and find out if you have any old things." Uncle Zhang said.

Second Uncle Li also said: "Yes, I remember some old things in my house, I don't know if they suit your taste."

"I have some at home, too."

"Young man, you wait."

A group of people were all seduced by Ji Sheng's "high price acquisition", and ran home quickly after speaking, as if they were afraid that Ji Sheng would wake up later and not accept him if he ran too slowly.

After finally catching someone who has been taken advantage of, they will definitely want to squeeze their wool to death.

Of course, Ji Sheng knew what everyone was thinking about rushing home to find old things. He just thought he was being taken advantage of by a lot of money, but he didn't feel happy at all. On the contrary, he still said in his heart that it was not sure who was taken advantage of.

He was full of anticipation in his heart, hoping to get some good things back to the modern society to sell tonight, but Ji Sheng was not sure whether these people had any real antiques in their homes, so he could only look forward to it.

Ji Sheng, who was full of anticipation, didn't pay attention to Ji Min who was standing at the door. At this moment, Ji Min looked at Ji Sheng regretfully and helplessly, as if he was expecting to be forgiven.

It's a pity that Ji Sheng turned a blind eye.

Ji Min was not reconciled to the fact that both Ji Aiguo and Ji Qing had made a lot of money with Ji Sheng. Seeing Ji Sheng ignoring him, he even thought about putting down his face and apologizing. Determined.
