At night, North Street in Los Angeles should be one of the busiest places.
There are ancient Chinese-style buildings on both sides of the road. On the bluestone road in the middle, strings of festive red lanterns are hung.
On a street about one kilometer long, there are sellers of chicken wings and grilled gluten. There are unified stalls lined up row upon row heading south.
When the red light first turns on in the evening, the bluestone road is packed with people and bustling with activity.
In a small Chinese alley on the south side of North Street, there is a sign at the entrance of a small courtyard: Recycling of Moutai, Cordyceps, Ginseng, Gold at High Prices...
In the courtyard The old man moved a long bench at the door. He stepped on it and gently wiped the floating dust on the red lantern at the door with a towel.
"What's the price of gold today?"
A hoarse voice sounded behind the old man. When he looked back, he was extremely happy: "Boy, it's you again!"
I saw Qingchen wearing a hood, with his hands in the front pockets of his sweatshirt. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to see what he looked like.
It’s just that the old man still remembers him. After all, he took advantage of him last time, so he recognized him after a quick look.
Qingchen said calmly: "I have already asked others. Even if there is no invoice, you have to pay me the normal gold price. This is what pawnshops charge."
The old man didn't either. Ashamed, he said with a smile: "Who said you don't want others to know your identity? All pawnshops are monitored, and each one has registered with the police station, so it's easy to find out where you came from. If you sell stolen goods, you have to pay the price of selling stolen goods. "I've taken the risk, haven't I?"
"400 grams," Qing Chen said without a trace, "I advise you to think carefully before you answer my price. If it's lower, I'll leave."
The old man said happily: "Don't worry, don't worry, today's gold price is 390, how about I give you 300?"
Qingchen turned around and left, but saw the old man hurriedly jumped off the long The stool pulled him: "You young man, why are you so impatient? 320, no more!"
"Okay," Qingchen went directly into the courtyard: "I want cash."
The old man followed him and said: "I don't have that much cash. If you insist on cash, I can only give you 100,000."
Qingchen sneered: "A place that specializes in collecting stolen goods doesn't have more than 100,000 in cash? I don't believe it, old man, if you continue to cheat and lower the price, this business won't work."
"Okay," the old man said in his heart This kid was a bit hard to fool: "Inspect the goods first."
Qingchen took out the gold bars, and the old man measured the density in the water by hanging it in the air. After confirming that there was no problem, he went directly He went to the backyard, opened the safe, took out 128,000 in cash, and put it into a black plastic bag.
"You're not going to order them one by one again, are you?" The old man asked doubtfully.
Then he watched Qingchen check the banknotes one by one, and finally pulled out five: "Change them, thank you."
"Hiss," the old man said just now that the young man was impatient, but now he was really shocked by the other party's patience.
He reluctantly took out five pictures and took them In Qingchen's hands: "I'm really convinced, it's the first time I've seen someone as careful as you. "
Qingchen responded expressionlessly: "This is the first time I have seen such a cunning old man like you. ”
After saying that, he left the small courtyard without hesitation.
This time, he will give the money directly to Jiang Xue, and then a small part will be slowly transferred to Jiang Xue. In his own WeChat, for mobile payment.
If anyone asked, Jiang Xue could say that Qingchen gave Li Tongyun the lecture fee.
The other part was deposited to the other party. A separate bank card was carried by Qingchen for use.
Jiang Xue was a time traveler on the surface and did not have to worry about others being suspicious. But unlike him, there was suddenly an unknown amount of money in his account. With a large amount of money deposited, anyone who is interested can tell that something is wrong with him.
He must be careful when he returns home before the owner of the devil stamp comes to light. , Li Tongyun was watching TV in his newly rented house. When she saw Qingchen coming back, she said excitedly: "Brother Qingchen, the curtains in this house are all electric, and you can use your mobile phone to control all the lights, switches, and toilets." It’s also electric. I’ve been a super member of TV for a year and can watch many cartoons! ”
Qingchen couldn’t laugh or cry. No matter how precocious the girl is, she is still a child, so what attracts him the most is the one-year TV membership...
At this time, Jiang Xue was tidying up the house. She replaced all the bedding in the room with new ones.
Li Tongyun jumped off the sofa and hugged her mother's waist pitifully: "Mom, let's stay here with Qingchen tonight. Live with my brother.
Jiang Xue said angrily: "This is your brother Qingchen's newly rented house. Are you going to live in it just as you say?" "
"Mom," Li Tongyun said suddenly: "You have made all the bedding in the two bedrooms! ”
“Hey! "Jiang Xue blushed all of a sudden, feeling a little embarrassed after being exposed.
In fact, although they are not related by blood, they are already like family members.
No matter Jiang Xue, Li Tongyun or Qingchen, they were just poor people in this world.
Because of an accidental time travel. Incident, fate suddenly came together.
Jiang Xue has experienced danger, but in the end she is just a weak woman, so she is afraid and insecure.
Finishing. When I came to this house, I somehow managed to tidy up both houses, and I secretly thought that if I was scared, I would bring Xiaoyun here.
However, this idea was rejected by Li Tongyun. It was exposed too quickly.
Qingchen quickly said: "Aunt Jiang Xue, the apartment size of this pair of doors is better than our 101., 201 large, two bedrooms and one living room is a waste for me to live alone, so I will leave the master bedroom to you, you can live in it anytime. "
Li Tongyun looked at Jiang Xue: "You see, brother Qingchen said so! ”
“Okay, but we’ll just stay here for one night. Don’t make any noise tomorrow,” Jiang Xue agreed.
……
At noon the next day, Qingchen returned home early from school, waiting for the agent and Qing Guozhong to arrive.
When the countdown came to 8pm, there was a noise outside the house.
I just heard Qing Guozhong's impatient voice: "Didn't I tell you already? The house is mine. I can sell it if I want to. Just invite your clients to come over. As long as If the price is right, I will go through the transfer procedures immediately. "
The intermediary complained: "The key is that if your son is unwilling to move, it will be very troublesome even if the transfer of ownership is completed. Then the buyer will say that our intermediary company is unreliable. "
"Don't worry, I will solve this matter today! Qing Guozhong said confidently. In his impression, his son has always been submissive and could not oppose him.
Qingchen listened to all this silently, and did not open the door until the other party came in. .
He wants to settle things today, so he doesn’t want Qing Guozhong to know where he will live in the future.
Otherwise, he will come to find him if he owes gambling debts.
