1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

Chapter 77 Jia Dongxu almost fainted.

Jia Zhang was cooking for the two of them in the kitchen, while Jia Dongxu and Tingting were being intimate in the bedroom.

"Tingting, I miss you a little." Jia Dongxu rubbed Tingting with his arm in a sticky manner.

"Don't touch me first. I just want to ask you if what you said about the bicycle is true?" Tingting pushed Jia Dongxu away.

"Really, I still have about 200 yuan left from my father's pension, which is more than enough to buy a bicycle." After saying that, Jia Dongxu rushed over again anxiously.

"Then you mustn't lie to me. If you don't buy a bicycle, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

"Don't worry, I will never lie to you."

After struggling for a while, Jia Dongxu still didn't react.

Suddenly, Jia Dongxu was so anxious that sweat began to appear on his forehead.

"What's going on? What's going on?"

"Why is this happening?"

Tingting pushed Jia Dongxu away in disgust.

"What else could it be? It must be those ants your mother fed you!"

"Now you are completely useless!"

Jia Dongxu's eyes turned red, he clenched his fists and said nothing.

Jia Zhang prepared dinner, but Jia Dongxu didn't eat a single bite.

Jia Zhang thought that Jia Dongxu was a little upset because of the bicycle incident, so she brought the food into the room herself.

"Get out! Get out of here!"

Jia Dongxu knocked over all the food.

Jia Zhang was shocked by this scene and broke down crying on the spot.

"Dongxu, please don't treat Mom like this. Do you want a bicycle? I'll pay for it for you tomorrow, okay?"

"The bike is yours! Get out! Now get out of here! I don't want to see you!"

Jia Dongxu continued to roar.

"Dongxu..." Jia Zhang was crying with tears streaming down her face.

"Hey... Mother-in-law, you should go out first."

"Dongxu is in a bad mood today. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Tingting pulled Jia Zhang out of the door.

In the evening, I tried it with Jia Dongxu for a while.

This time, Jia Dongxu actually had some reaction.

He said to Tingting excitedly.

"Tingting, I can do it, I can do it this time!"

Unfortunately, the joy only lasted two seconds, the time it took for Ultraman to transform, and the energy was insufficient again.

However, this is enough for Jia Dongxu. It is fine as long as it can be used as before!

The next morning, Jia Dongxu and his wife got up early. In the yard, Jia Dongxu told everyone he met that he was going to buy a bicycle.

"Good morning, Uncle San. Tingting and I are going to buy bicycles."

"Good morning, Uncle Er. I'm going to buy a bicycle."

"Good morning, uncle. I'm going to buy a bicycle."

......

This kind of pretentious behavior made Chen Xiao, who was eating at home, unable to bear it.

"Isn't it just buying a bicycle? Do we really have to report it to the United Nations?"

"After all, it's a bicycle I bought, so I have to brag about it in the compound." Qin Huairu said with her hands covering her mouth and laughing.

Fortunately, she did not marry Jia Dongxu but married Chen Xiao.

In terms of appearance, work, and earning ability, Jia Dongxu cannot compare to them.

After cleaning up the dishes, Qin Huairu said goodbye to Chen Xiao and went to help Qin Huairu make konjac cake.

Chen Xiao took advantage of the Sunday to go to the Liulichang Antique Market again.

With a huge sum of several hundred yuan in hand, it’s time to collect some more things.

Since it is Sunday, there are a lot of people coming to the Liulichang Antique Market today. It is like a temple fair, with people crowded together.

Chen Xiao pushed his bicycle, scanning the stall with his golden eyes, and squeezed in with great effort.

After walking for a long time, I didn't come across any valuable treasures.

"Don't miss it if you pass by. This is a genuine jadeite stone. It's only 50 yuan. It's only 50 yuan. You won't get cheated or be cheated."

A middle-aged woman was shouting on the side.

Just as Chen Xiao was about to push his bicycle over to join in the fun, a man took off his cotton shoes and ran towards the woman.

"Damn it, who told you to sell it? Did you get my consent?"

"When I cut open the jade, we'll both be rich!"

The woman was not willing to be outdone, so she also took off her cotton shoes and confronted the man.

"If you dare to hit me, try it. Don't think I'm afraid of you."

Soon, a large group of people gathered around the two of them.

They all come to watch the fun.

It took Chen Xiao a long time to push his bicycle in.

Because he missed the wonderful scene just now, he asked the people around him.

"Dude, what just happened?"

The man also liked to watch the fun and was happy to share.

While continuing to look inside, he explained to Chen Xiao without turning back.

"That woman's boyfriend bought a large number of stones, saying they were shipped from Myanmar and that he could mine jade from them."

"For this, the man emptied his savings and bought more than a dozen stones. He then excitedly took them home to cut them, hoping to become rich overnight by cutting out jadeite. In the end, after cutting more than a dozen pieces, all they found were waste. There was no trace of jadeite at all."

"Then the woman found out about this. After learning the whole story, she took the last uncut piece of stone and prepared to sell it, hoping to make some money back."

After understanding everything, Chen Xiao became interested.

He could tell with his golden eyes whether there was jade in the stone.

At this time, the couple were still arguing and even fighting.

The woman slapped the man a few times, then squatted on the ground and cried bitterly.

"Am I wrong? I'm doing this for this family. What you bought is just a pile of junk rocks. There's no jade there."

"I was originally thinking of selling the last stone to make up for the loss, but now everyone knows about it. Who would be willing to spend 50 yuan to buy this stone now?"

People around started talking.

"I thought it was a double act, but it turned out to be a play."

"That's right, that man is also a bit stupid. It's obviously just a piece of broken stone. How could there be jade inside it?"

"I was thinking of bargaining down to 30 yuan to try my luck. Fortunately, I watched the show for a while, otherwise the 30 yuan would have been wasted. Thanks, bro!" Someone saluted the man.

"No need to look, it's just an ordinary stone. I work with jade, and I can tell at a glance whether there is jadeite in it!" An expert said confidently.

......

The man who was slapped several times by the woman gradually calmed down.

Looking at the broken stone again, after some discussion among the people around him, his original determination that there was jade inside was now shaken.

he murmured.

"Is it possible that there really is no jade in it?"

someone shouted around.

"There are plenty of these broken stones on the Shichahai coast. We can get as many as you want."

"You still dare to sell it for 50? In my opinion, it's only one cent at most!"

The man's determination to make the assessment continued to waver, and after a while, his clenched fists began to loosen slowly.

Then he knelt down in front of the woman and cried bitterly.

He no longer believed that there was jade in it.

"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong..."

It is very rare for a gambler to turn back in time.

The people around kept clapping and cheering.

"Okay, okay! A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold! It's not too late to turn back now!"
