captivity and love

“This is not our home”

Chen An dragged his luggage and stood by the side of the road, wild flowers swaying on the side of the road, let's go, let's go!

……

"The weather in the south is fine, you are welcome." The boy opposite said to Chen An with his wheat-colored face up.

Chen An was taken aback, then nodded. The boy looked at Chen An's luggage and said, "Are you traveling to the south?" Chen An shook his head, and smiled helplessly. He waved his hand and left with his mother.

It is a small, unprosperous city, situated on a piece of land in the south.

"Yunzhou Road" Chen An has been here for three or four days, and he has almost spent all his money. He barely rented a small courtyard for a month, and only a few dozen yuan are left. He has to find a job.

After wandering around, Chen An came to a flower and bird market. Unlike the chirping birds, there were antique shops surrounded by flowers competing for fragrance and beauty, which looked different. Chen An stepped into the antique shop, "Just take a look." "An old man with a little dialect sounded, and an old man came out of the back room, and Chen An went up to meet him: "Hello, I heard that there is a shortage of staff here." The old man put his hand to his ear, and after thinking for a while, Chen An After repeating it, the old man knocked on the ground with his cane, and said angrily, "I can hear you, so you don't need to repeat, there is indeed a lack of a cashier and an introducer here."

"Well, can you see me?"

"You?" The old man pushed his reading glasses, "You are not from the local area, why did you come here in such a panic?"

Chen An felt depressed, and the old man didn't make things difficult for him: "Tell me, what is an antique?"

There was another silence, the old man frowned, and it took a long time for Chen An to speak: "Antiques are old things worth remembering."

The old man suddenly smiled, "Let's try it out for a month first."

Chen An: "Okay! Then what should I do?"

Old man: "You just need to sit in the front hall. When a guest comes to ask you a question, you can look at the label under the antique, and then find the corresponding code in the computer file. There is an introduction in it. I will discuss other things later. Let me talk to you slowly"

Chen An remembered the old man's words carefully, the old man turned around and went into the back room, and finally added, "No one is allowed to enter the back room without my permission."

Chen An let out a "hmm" and looked around for playthings. They were all small things, but each thing was very delicate. The decoration in the store was simple but had a leisurely and classic taste. There were strings of copper coins hanging on the beams. What a strange old man!
