Chapter 8 Something happened to the old branch secretary

When Yan Min heard Zhao Shucheng say this, she smiled angrily and said, "No, Gu Feng, is your family also called a bike?" She said, and opened the curtains and pointed to the bicycle parked outside.
Zhao Shucheng said: "Yes, this is also a bicycle, a bicycle, isn't it?"
"Don't play word games with me, you know that's not what I mean. I'm saying..."
Before Yan Min finished speaking, she was blocked by Zhao Shucheng. Then she didn't care about being angry before and pulled the curtains casually.
Zhao Shucheng and Yan Min rested, but Lao Gu and Xiuying couldn't sleep. They were still worried about their son's marriage. Although they were angry about Yan's mother's refusal to let their daughter marry her son, they could not really watch their son separate from Yan Min like this.
Lao Gu looked at Xiuying who was angry and asked, "Are you still angry? The couple quarreled, what are you going to get involved?"
"How could I not be angry? Then don't let me see it. I can't pretend to be ignorant of my son like this, right? What kind of house and car is so harsh to me. This is the situation at home, why are you so picky?"
Xiuying said, looking at the next door and said, "You can see it too. No matter how good Yan Min is, she is not a thrifty person. There is such a mother behind her, and our son can't afford to support her."
Lao Gu said, "Okay, don't ask too much."
"I have no requirements, but I still have to do this?"
Xiuying said as she took out her bank card and said, "I told you, I've taken this, I won't use it at this time, when will it be used?"
Lao Gu looked at the bank card he took out and said in surprise: "What, this is it? This is our pension money, so it cannot be moved!"
"Of course I know, but we can't watch Yan Min's mother look down on us and break them up? You don't know what your son looks like, and you may be very sad at that time."
"I tell you, the houses are like mountains now. How many young people are carrying them? How many people don't ask for money from their families? Can we help a little bit? Isn't this parents just let their children squeeze them, and they'll be finished after they are squeezed out."
Lao Gu shook his head and said, "No, this is not possible. This is not reliable. You don't know what Yan Min's mother is like. She has such a big appetite and can't even get a marriage certificate. Even if it's done, she will be separated again in a few days. Then she will be beaten. No, I'll talk about this later."
"Nothing is there in the future, don't talk nonsense, bring it."
Xiuying said as she was about to give the bank card to Zhao Shucheng and Yan Min, hoping that they would get up tomorrow morning to check out the house, but when they walked to Zhao Shucheng's door, they heard the movement inside and immediately retreated.
The next day, early morning.
Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but smile when he looked at Yan Min lying beside him. The experience last night was great. Although Yan Min was a little angry at the beginning, she soon couldn't take care of anything.
Yan Min also noticed Zhao Shucheng's gaze, couldn't help but lower her head and smiled shyly, and said, "Are you awake?"
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Yes, you wake up, you should get up early too. After breakfast, I will go home with you and ask your aunt what requirements are for our marriage."
"Oh, why did you say this again? I don't want to argue with you."
"It's not a quarrel. This is a problem we must face. If it is not solved, would we really be the same as what the fourth brother said, after three or five years, and then with the children, you force your mother to get a marriage certificate?"
After hearing this, Yan Min couldn't help but slap Zhao Shucheng in the chest and said, "You said, are you thinking about this in your heart, so you did this last night."
"That's not. I think we should go further and we can't really be together just because of a marriage certificate."
"Okay, you go out first, I'll wear clothes."
"What a shame? I didn't see it yesterday." Although Zhao Shucheng said that, when he saw Yan Min's shy look, he put on his clothes and went out first.
Xiuying had already prepared the meal. When she saw Zhao Shucheng getting up, she said, "Xiaofeng, you're up, where is Yan Min?"
"Here comes out soon."
"That's good, by the way, your sister and your brother-in-law will go to Yan Min's house to apologize with her mother, and then we will discuss the marriage."
"Mom, don't have to go there, we can go there by ourselves. I'll ask her what she thinks and what conditions are there."
"What can you do when you go? This is your father and I have a lifetime savings. You and Yan Min go and see the house later. If there is a suitable one, we will make a reservation and pay a down payment. But your father and I can help you so much, and we can only rely on you in the future." Xiuying said as she handed the bank card to Zhao Shucheng.
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "No need, mom, I'll find a way myself."
"What can you think of? Not all your monthly salary is done with Yan Min. But your father and I don't have much savings, just 100,000, but we took them all out."
"Oh, don't worry, I really have a way."
Zhao Shucheng didn't want to take this money, after all, it was saved by the old couple in their lifetime, and they didn't have the face to touch the money. Moreover, Zhao Shucheng also knew that although this amount of money was already a lot for many people, it didn't take it seriously for Yan Min's mother.
Of course, Zhao Shucheng knew that although the Gu family seemed to have little money, it was actually not really a poor person. After all, this courtyard is very valuable. Although it has not reached the level of the courtyards that are often hundreds of millions of yuan in later generations, it is still no problem to be worth tens of millions.
But unless it was absolutely necessary, Zhao Shucheng would not have the idea of ​​this house. After all, this was passed down from generation to generation by their ancestors. Lao Gu and Xiuying lived here for the rest of their lives and were reluctant to leave here at all.
In fact, Zhao Shucheng has already figured out how to get a sum of money to buy a house and a car as soon as possible, that is, go to Liulichang. If you want to say that the most likely place in Beijing is to get rich, it may be that Liulichang will pick up bargains. Of course, this is for people like Zhao Shucheng who have a lot of research on antiques. For ordinary people, it may be a place where they are deceived.
Yan Min came out of the room at this time and saw Xiuying, she said shyly: "Mom!"
"Xiao Min, you're here just the right time. This is the money you and your father give you. You can buy a house and you can make up a little more and pay a down payment. But I have to say that in front, this house must have my name on the property rights. In proportion, you have no objection, right?"
Yan Min was stunned when she heard this and said, "I thought it was just my mother's reality, but I didn't expect you to be quite realistic."
"Just like you to be realistic, we have to be realistic, why are we so tired of working? It is not easy for us to make some money, right? Of course, if you can live with Gu Feng for the rest of your life, the money is yours, so we don't want it. Your father and I are at this age, so what's the use of asking for money? If you don't bring it in life, you won't bring it with you in death?"
Zhao Shucheng said: "Mom, don't worry, I can make up the down payment myself, just keep this money with my dad."
After hearing this, Yan Min couldn't help but look at Zhao Shucheng. She didn't understand why Zhao Shucheng refused, and where did he get such a large sum of money to buy a house?
But since Zhao Shucheng said that and looked at herself, she didn't want Zhao Shucheng to think that she really wanted to get the money, so she had to say, "Yes, mom, we both will find a way."
Xiuying originally wanted to say something, but seeing that Zhao Shucheng and Yan Min were both in this attitude, they felt a little embarrassed to see Gu Li and Lao Si were also at home, so they were ready to wait and secretly give it to Zhao Shucheng in the evening.
After Zhao Shucheng and Yan Min had dinner, because today was not a working day, the two of them were not at home, but instead said they were going out for a walk.
After leaving home, Yan Min looked at Zhao Shucheng and asked, "No, Gu Feng, what do you think? Why don't you take the money you gave me? Besides, this money is not for nothing. My mother said it would be proportional according to the proportion. If you still can't get over it, just think that the money was borrowed by us and return it to them in the future."
"I have a way to get this money myself without spending their money."
When Yan Min heard Zhao Shucheng say this, she looked at Zhao Shucheng with some doubts and said, "Where did you get the money? We spend your monthly salary together. Do you have any small treasury?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, Shanren has his own tricks anyway."
As he said that, he pulled Yan Min, who was still a little confused, and took the bus to Liulichang.
Although Yan Min had never been here, as a Beijinger, Liulichang and Pan Jiayuan had heard of the name. When she saw Zhao Shucheng, she was about to walk inside and immediately guessed what Zhao Shucheng was going to do.
"No, your solution is not to come here to find a bargain, right? Wake up Gufeng, don't think that if you can find a bargain, you can do it. The antique industry is very deep, and it is not something that ordinary people like us can grasp."
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry. If you go with me anyway, let's take a look first. It's not certain whether you can pick up the bargain."
As they said that, the two of them came to the antique street of Liulichang and began to wander around. Liulichang is different from Panjiayuan. It is some very formal antique shops, including Rongbaozhai, China Bookstore, Sibaotang and other time-honored brands, as well as some self-employed people. However, those who can open stores here naturally have a brush and are all collectors themselves. On the one hand, they open stores to enrich their collections, and on the other hand, they also do some business by the way. What they emphasize is that they don’t open for three years and eat for three years. If you want to find a bargain in such a store, you can’t say there is no chance, you can only say that it’s very small.
After all, what they do is an antique business. If they don’t have the ability to make some antiques, they would have deceived their family fortunes long ago.
And because this is a store, basically all the products are clearly marked. Unless the store marks the wrong price, it is difficult to buy real antiques at low prices.
Zhao Shucheng and Yan Min did not enter the store directly. When they walked past the street, they looked through the glass window and looked at the collection inside, and then continued to go to the next antique store.
After a walk around, Zhao Shucheng found that there were good things here, but if you want to make money from here for a short time, it is still somewhat difficult.
Zhao Shucheng looked at Yan Min and said, "Or what if we go to Panjiayuan again?"
Yan Min saw that Zhao Shucheng was just watching outside, but didn't go in and buy it, so she couldn't figure out what Zhao Shucheng was thinking about for a while, so she didn't refuse.
After arriving at Panjiayuan, it is not quite the same as Liulichang. It can be said to be a fresh market, with some shops, but more of them are stalls. Various ancient cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, wood, furniture, etc. can be seen.
Zhao Shucheng and Yan Min said hand in hand, and soon Zhao Shucheng stopped in front of a stall. The main business of this stall should be porcelain, with many porcelains on it, but the age distribution is very different.
In the eyes of those who don’t know how to do things, many of the things on it look like antiques, especially some porcelain from the Tang or Song dynasties.
But in Zhao Shucheng's eyes, although the porcelain here looks good, most of them are handicrafts, and it can be said that they are modern imitation antiques, which are not worth much money at all.
Of course, this does not mean that there are no real antiques here. Among them is a porcelain imitating Ru Kiln. Although it is not a real Song Dynasty Ru Kiln, its workmanship is not inferior to that of Song Ru Kiln.
After taking a look, Zhao Shucheng said to the boss directly: "Boss, this modern imitation Ru kiln porcelain is good, what is the price?"
When the boss saw Zhao Shucheng very interested, he immediately felt energetic and said, "Brother, you can tell at this glance that it is Ru Kiln, and it should be considered half an expert. This is not a modern imitation, but a real Ru Kiln. For the sake of your and I being so destined to be, I won't hide it from you, this number!"
Zhao Shucheng looked at the three fingers that the other party stretched out, nodded, and said, "Three hundred is a good price. If it was really a Song Ru Kiln, I might have agreed. But boss, since I can come to ask you, and even say that this is an imitation Ru Kiln, I naturally have some understanding of the Ru Kiln porcelain. Just the glaze color and the lobes, it cannot be something handed down from the Song Dynasty. Besides, when you look at the signing of the money, this person doesn't need to have a snack when making it, and it is made directly in the Chenghua year of the Ming Dynasty. If you say that this is a imitation Ru Kiln in Chenghua, it is a bit credible."
The boss heard Zhao Shucheng say so much, and originally thought that Zhao Shucheng would give up, but when he heard Zhao Shucheng's words, he immediately became energetic and said, "Brother, not bad, expert. This is really the imitation of Ru Kiln in the Ming Dynasty. Since you recognize it, I won't be a fool. There are no three hundred, this number!"
Zhao Shucheng saw the other party's fingers stretched out and said, "You won't tell me that you want twenty ones, right?"
"Yes, brother, am I sincere enough, right?"
