Early in the year, they came to the Ming Zhou construction site to earn some money out of blood and sweat. However, yesterday, they suddenly received bad news that an elder from their family had passed away, so they had no choice but to hurry back to their hometown.
However, how could they settle their wages at this time? The few of them only had 300 yuan worth of living expenses and not enough to buy a ticket home. In a hurry, they wanted to sell the statue of Buddha.
"Uncle, you misunderstand. 1500 yuan, I'll take this!"
Was the scene that caused Lin Xi to be unable to recover from his shock just now an illusion? Or a superpower?
It wasn't until the farmer's anxious and uncertain shout woke him up that he could only put aside the previous scene and reveal a sunny smile.
The Buddha statue had five turquoise inlaid on it. Although it was not big, it was definitely worth more than 1500 pieces. Moreover, he could roughly tell the quality of these turquoise. 800 pieces per gram was definitely safe.
Without thinking, Lin Xi immediately bought the Buddha statue, making a small profit. However, it was not easy with these migrant workers, he did not want to take advantage of them, since they said it was 1500, then it would be fine.
He took out his wallet, counted out fifteen red notes, and handed them to the migrant workers. Then, in their gratitude, he carried the statue back to the waiting room, wondering when he would be able to take them off and sell them.
As for the Buddha statue, he had long forgotten about it. Right now, all he could see was turquoise.
This Buddha statue was dug out from the ground by a few migrant workers when they were working on the construction site a few days ago. At that time, the statue was still wrapped in a lot of mud, but fortunately, someone had discovered it with their sharp eyes.
He guessed that it must be a treasure that could sell for a few hundred dollars. However, the person who found the Buddha statue did not agree, saying that it was the manifestation of Buddha and wanted to bring it back to worship in his hometown.
They had no choice but to sell it today. Originally, the Buddha statue was only worth a few hundred dollars in their eyes, but they had to sell it at a high price because they were in a hurry to return home. To them, 1500 dollars was already a high price.
When Lin Xi returned, Zhou Zhe was waiting for him. Seeing him walk over, he could not help but complain, "Where have you been?
Lin Xi laughed and handed the Buddha Statue over to him: "I'll let you look at the treasures. Look carefully, I just randomly picked up the treasures, and look carefully at those few stones."
Zhou Zhe looked at it carefully, "It's just a few stones, what is it worth?"
"What do you know? "This is turquoise. One is a thousand, and these five are five thousand. I have made a small fortune."
After pausing for a moment, Lin Xi continued, "I was so unlucky a few days ago, but now the situation has finally changed. It seems that the ten days I spent in the academy have not been in vain."
"Ai, then it's good that you're happy."
Lin Xi wrapped the Buddha statue carefully and put it into his luggage, then asked: "You go and park a car, why did it take so long?"
Zhou Zhe took out two tickets and waved it in his hands: "Here, I just went to exchange for two sleeper tickets. It's going to be a day from here to Rong City, sitting here would be tiring to death."
Lin Xi caught the ticket in surprise. He remembered that the berth tickets had already been sold out, how could Zhou Zhe get two berth tickets, but after thinking about the relationship between Zhou Zhe's father and himself, it seemed like getting two berth tickets wasn't that hard.
….
As the train sped along the tracks from the Ming Zhou, the late autumn scenery retreated rapidly outside the window. Gradually, the desolate and yellow ground streaked past in front of Lin Xi's eyes, and the geese that occasionally flew past the window were migrating towards the south, as if it was a sign that winter was really not far away.
Looking at the monotonous scene outside the window, Lin Xi felt numb and tired. Furthermore, he was woken up so early in the morning by Zhou Zhe and didn't have enough sleep at all.
Speaking of which, he really had to thank Zhou Zhe. If it wasn't for the fact that he went to exchange for two sleeper tickets, Lin Xi wouldn't be so comfortable.
One had to know that these two people's soft sleeper tickets would only be available for sale to people with special statuses, and would not even know the existence of these two people's soft sleeper tickets. Since Zhou Zhe could get two of these tickets, it seemed that his father's relationship was indeed not ordinary.
Furthermore, the flight attendants who were walking back and forth in the carriage were all young, pretty and extremely professional girls. Not only did they look good, their service attitude was also perfect.
Lin Xi remembered that when he went to Ming Zhou last year, it was the same train as the previous one. However, the crowded carriages and the various noisy and enjoyable treatment were completely different compared to the one he had now.
Lin Xi couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: It's great to be rich!
Suddenly, the train jolted as Lin Xi woke up from his bed and looked out the window. It was actually the train that was just passing by the carriage that was approaching them, the two cars were moving too fast, causing the train to shake slightly, it was like a swing.
Withdrawing his gaze, Lin Xi heard another faintly discernible snoring sound, which was especially rhythmic and lengthy.
Looking towards the source of the snoring sound, he saw Zhou Zhe sprawled on the bed, one foot still lightly swaying by the side of the bed, a living "big" shape. Every time the snoring sound rang, his feet would sway, creating a melodious rhythm. Moreover, there was a label paper stuck on his face. The air current that was exhaled when he was snoring made the label paper blow even higher, and when he was snoring, the label paper covered his mouth, making him look very comical.
Looking at the sleeping Zhou Zhe, Lin Xi felt extremely grateful in his heart. He had been the one taking care of his for the past ten days in the hospital. Although he liked to chatter endlessly, it was also to make himself less depressed in the hospital.
In these ten days, Zhou Zhe's body and mind were actually exhausted, but in order to take care of Lin Xi, he had to pretend to be in the sun. Otherwise, how could such a huge shock not have woken him up?
Lin Xi thought about the purpose of Zhou Zhe going to the Rong City, and couldn't help but want to laugh. But to have someone he liked, was also not bad, and his heart became happy for Zhou Zhe.
But then again, he was still hiding something from Lin Xi. Lin Xi had been slandering him for many years, but now, he recalled that his brother seemed to know his brother very well. knew what kind of sh * t he was trying to pull.
Lin Xi lightly moved his body that had not moved for a long time and sat down in a comfortable position.
The pawnshop had been closed for the past three months, making him completely unemployed. It was still unknown whether or not he would still be able to return to work after these three months.
However, because he had acted bravely, he had received fifty thousand yuan as a consolation fee. Moreover, Lin Xi had never regretted it before, he would have made the same decision as before even if it had happened again.
Fifty thousand yuan in comfort money plus twenty thousand yuan in existence over the years could be considered as a small fortune of a hundred thousand yuan. Even if he lost his job for three months, it didn't matter.
The most important thing for him to do now was still the wedding of his classmates. Then, it was time to go home and visit his mother. It had been almost a year since he had seen his mother.
Lin Xi still wanted to go back and bring his mother from the countryside to the county, so she didn't have to suffer losses. With seventy thousand dollars in her hands, it wouldn't be hard for her to rent a long-term house in a small town.
As for the work, we'll talk about it when we return to Ming Zhou.
However, when Lin Xi thought about it again, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive. When he went back home, his mother would probably force him to marry her again. It had to be known that North Sichuan married a little too early in the first place. Lin Xi was already 23 years old, and just in time to reach the age of marriage.
However, when they returned this time, the topic of marriage was definitely something that was difficult to avoid.
