Repairer - #4 - Chapter 4: brother and sister

  Chapter 4 Siblings

   “Want to block me? Next life.”

At four o’clock in the afternoon, Su Xiaofan put on the sun hat on his head and walked out from the back door of a shop in the Antique City. He had already spotted Wu Chuanbao and the others blocking the front and rear streets of the Antique City. There are not only two doors in the antique city, many shops have opened the back door, there are not a hundred or eighty people, so don’t even think about blocking people here.

After passing through several small alleys, Su Xiaofan came to a vegetable market in a residential area, bought half a catty of meat, an old hen and some vegetables, and after thinking about it, he called it the chicken feet that my little sister loves to eat. Just carried it back to the place where I lived.

The consumption in Luochuan City is not very high. The place Su Xiaofan rents is not far from the Antique City and the high school where his younger sister is studying. It is a house built in the old city in the 1980s. The old one is older than Su Xiaofan. The rent is naturally not expensive, only 900 yuan a month for two bedrooms and one living room, and there are complete appliances and furniture in it. Although my sister only comes back to live one day a week, Su Xiaofan still leaves the room in Xiangyang to his sister.

It costs five yuan to kill a chicken in the vegetable market. Su Xiaofan didn’t give up, so he boiled a pot of boiling water. Su Xiaofan is very skilled in killing the chicken and removing its feathers. He cleaned the chicken in a few minutes, and then sat in the pot and put in the seasoning to stew the chicken broth. Basically, Su Xiaofan cooks such a meal for his sister every week. In his words, the chicken soup contains all the nutrients. The chicken is torn apart and topped with **** sauce and vinegar. sister.

Turning on the fire of another stove, Su Xiaofan stir-fried shredded pork and garlic sprouts, patted a cucumber salad, turned down the chicken soup to low heat, and then returned to the living room and turned on the fan to cool off. Looking at the time, I guess the little girl will have to wait It took half an hour to get home, and that would be just enough for dinner.

   “The number you dialed is out of service area, please try again later.”

Hearing the voice of Miss Telecom from the mobile phone, Su Xiaofan hung up the phone helplessly. During this period of time, he called his father several times a day, but he didn’t know whether his father would leave the boat at this moment. Wherever the ocean goes, it is always impossible to get through, but it is common to have no signal in the ocean, Su Xiaofan is not worried about the safety of his father, but he is a little worried about his sister’s tuition.

Although he earned 8,000 yuan from the surname Wu by playing a side ball, now Su Xiaofan only has 85,000 yuan in hand, which is still 15,000 yuan away from 100,000 yuan, and according to Su Xiaofan’s thinking, in addition to tuition fees, At the very least, I have to prepare 10,000 to 20,000 yuan for my younger sister in case of emergencies. As the saying goes, if a poor family has a rich life, it doesn’t matter if Su Xiaofan can barely afford it, but he must never let his younger sister who is studying abroad suffer.

   “There is nothing valuable in this house.” Su Xiaofan looked around in the living room a little depressed, but apart from some molds for making bronze wares, there were no other objects.

   “By the way, I don’t know if this thing is worth money?”

Su Xiaofan suddenly untied the neckline, and pulled out a pendant worn by a gold chain from his neck. This pendant was oval in shape, with a dark body, and an irregular hole in the middle, which was just enough for the gold chain to pass through. The whole pendant looked very beautiful. It’s unremarkable, if you throw it on the ground, probably only the trash pickers will pick it up as scrap copper and rotten iron.

  According to my father, this thing was obtained by accident when my father went overseas a few years ago.

At that time, when Su Weixuan’s cruise ship was passing through the waters of Bermuda, a cruise ship accidentally hit a rock and was about to sink. Everyone was rescued, and this pendant was specially given to Su Weixuan as a gift by one of the rescued guests in order to thank the captain.

  The guest was a very famous collector of meteorites with a lot of money, but he escaped from the cruise ship and couldn’t bring anything down, so he gave the pendant hanging around his neck to Su Weixuan.

According to the guest, this pendant was obtained from a desert when he was looking for a meteorite rain that landed on the earth 30 years ago. Strange to say, the man saw a basketball-sized pendant on the sand. But as soon as I touched it with my hand, the entire meteorite was sanded, and it became particles that were finer than sand and scattered, and in the middle of the meteorite, there was such an object.

   After the meteorite collector took this small piece of meteorite back, he also did various tests, but no matter how he analyzed it, he couldn’t detect the properties of this meteorite, and he couldn’t even determine whether it was metal.

Although the appearance of this thing is not very good-looking, but thinking that it is not easy to come by, the collector used a rope to hang it around his neck. This hanging has lasted for decades. If it was not for being rescued by Su Weixuan, he had nothing , that collector may not be willing to give this thing away.

Su Weixuan didn’t care much about the stuff, and threw it to his son after returning home. Su Xiaofan thought it was fashionable to hang a pendant around his neck, so he kept hanging it. Now that he was short of money, he couldn’t help but fight The idea of ​​this thing.

“It’s said that this thing is a meteorite, I’m afraid no one will believe it. Dad was fooled in all likelihood.” Playing with the pendant in his hand, Su Xiaofan gave a wry smile. This thing is neither gold nor iron, but more like a stone. It doesn’t matter at all. He also asked someone to show it to him in the antique city, and what others gave was the evaluation of “scrap copper and rotten iron”.

“Forget it, it really doesn’t work, let Brother Gang open his mouth in a few days.” Su Xiaofan hung the pendant back around his neck, and the younger sister’s tuition fee is not completely helpless. With the friendship between him and Zheng Dagang, I can borrow tens of thousands of yuan It must be no problem to transfer the money for a year or so, but Su Xiaofan is used to being independent, and he is still unwilling to ask others for help unless it is absolutely necessary.

“Xiaofan, Su Xiaofan, I’m back!” A crisp shout interrupted Su Xiaofan’s thinking, and then the door was opened from the outside, a girl about 1.7 meters tall bouncing towards Su Xiaofan rushed over,

   “Brother, there is no big or small.” Su Xiaofan pushed his sister aside, and said angrily: “How old are you, you still jump around when you walk, you are crazy, what should you do if you can’t get married in the future.”

“Huh, there are so many people chasing me in school, and people write love letters to me every day, how can this girl not get married?” Su Xiaoxiao chuckled, shrugged her nose, and ran straight to the kitchen, yelling Said: “The cafeteria in the school is really terrible. It’s better for my brother. I count on this meal every week when I go home to replenish my blood.”

“Who doesn’t have the eyes to chase you? Let me tell you, you have to study hard and don’t use those crooked brains.” Su Xiaofan’s mouth was stiff, but his heart skipped a beat. His father was not here, so he had to take good care of his sister, absolutely not. puppy love.

   “I know, this girl doesn’t like those little kids.” Su Xiaoxiao snorted and started to lift the lid of the pot.

Not to mention, although she doesn’t have a regular shape, Su Xiaoxiao looks very beautiful, not to mention her height of 1.7 meters, and her figure has fully grown. She has an oval face with willow eyebrows and big sparkling eyes. The bridge of the nose is straight, similar to Su Xiaofan’s five or six points. Speaking of which, the genes of the Su family are really good. If the two brothers and sisters go to the street together, they will definitely be a sight on the street.

  Su Xiaofan sighed, his little sister is good at everything, but since she was a child, she followed him in the countryside to dig out birds’ eggs and go down to the river to fish for loaches.

“The chicken soup is just right, don’t burn it, I haven’t adjusted the chicken shreds yet, why are you in a hurry.” Su Xiaofan followed behind, and slapped his sister on the head, “You are a foodie, you can use the power of eating It’s good to study.”

Although Su Xiaoxiao’s studies are not bad, she is just above average in the class, not a top student. Compared with Su Xiaofan, she is far behind, so that Su Weixuan feels sorry for his son. There is no problem with a top university, but Su Xiaofan has been very righteous since he was a child, and even Su Weixuan, a father, cannot change what he has decided.

“Hey, this girl is lucky, she can enter a prestigious school without studying.” Su Xiaoxiao shrunk her head, but then frowned, and said, “Brother, one hundred thousand a year, the tuition fee is too expensive , Otherwise, I’d better take the college entrance examination normally, with my current grades, it’s no problem to take one of the exams.”

Su Xiaoxiao knows the situation at home. Her father is unreliable. She spends all day on the ocean-going ship, and sometimes she doesn’t see each other for a year or two. She can go to the third year of high school in peace and stability. Thanks to her grandfather’s death a few years ago, Su Xiaoxiao and her elder brother have always been dependent on each other for life, and she still knows a little about her family’s wealth.

   “You don’t need to worry about tuition fees. I have already prepared 100,000 yuan for you.”

Su Xiaofan pulled away his younger sister, took the chicken out of the pot and put it on a plate, served another bowl of chicken soup for his younger sister, and said: “My business is still good now, and I can save 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a year. There is our dad, he earns US dollars, I guess dad must have at least 1.8 million in his hands, and if he doesn’t give it to us, he is afraid that we will spend it indiscriminately.”

Although my father never mentioned his income, but now that the information is so developed, Su Xiaofan can check it online with his mobile phone, and he knows that the first officer of an ocean-going ship can earn two to three hundred thousand a year, and his father has been a captain for several years. Su Xiaofan’s millionaire net worth is all Su Xiaofan’s thinking.

“Then, then I will study first. If my father has no money, I will not study.” Su Xiaoxiao was also a little bit reluctant to take this opportunity, and helped Su Xiaofan bring the dishes to the table, saying: “I am the only one in our school.” Those who passed the exam, the old class said, the school seems to give a bonus, I don’t know how much it can give.”

“You were the only one who got into your school? That’s not right. What are you taking the exams? Your grades aren’t very outstanding in the class.” Su Xiaofan was taken aback when he heard this, last time he was patronizing and happy, Did not ask.

“I have taken the exam in Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry and politics. I heard that even the first and second graders have also taken the exam. Your sister is good, so I was admitted.” I don’t think too much, so I live happily every day.

“That’s not right, Xiao Xiao, tell me, what else did you take the test for?” Su Xiaofan is different from his younger sister, he has spent two years in the antique market where there is a mixture of three schools and nine streams, so he naturally understands a truth, that is the probability of accidental events Exactly how low.

Just like those old gentlemen who hang out in the antique market all day long, they all come here with the mentality of picking up leaks from Taobao, but Su Xiaofan has been doing business in the antique market for two years, and he has never really seen anyone pick up a big leak. Most of them are some “legends” deliberately spread by those who set up stalls in private, to increase the enthusiasm of those old men for “picking up leaks”.
