The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine

Evening self-study.

Zhou Mu anxiously ran to ask the teacher for leave. At the end of the semester, the courses were very heavy. I thought she would not approve it. Who knew that the head teacher looked at her and sighed, and signed the leave slip.

"I saw what you posted in the group, go ahead, be safe, and come back before the dormitory turns off the lights."

Zhou Mu smiled gratefully and bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Teacher Liu."

She and a few enthusiastic classmates carried the things to the school gate, and Cheng Zhen had already ordered a car and waited here.

"So many."

In just one afternoon, Zhou Mu received a lot of idle items from enthusiastic students, not only books and audio-visuals, but also clothes, shoes, bags, plush toys and so on. There are really no pockets in her dormitory. My suitcases were full, and I even borrowed a few roommates’ suitcases to put things in, but I still couldn’t fit them, so I had to borrow a few big garbage bags from the dormitory auntie to put everything in.

Fortunately, Cheng Zhen had the foresight to call a van.

Zhou Mu gave his hand and helped him carry the sack into the car.

"I don't know how much I can sell it for."

"Hey, if you can sell a little bit, it's a little bit."

"Where are you going to sell it? I want to help too." While talking, Li Jiajia from the school's badminton team also ran over.

"People's Park, do you want to help, or..." Zhou Mu teased Cheng Zhen in a low voice while Cheng Zhen was busy carrying things.

Li Jiajia gave her an elbow and spat away.

"Fuck you, I really want to help. It took a lot of effort to convince our class teacher to let me out. Besides, with so many things, can the two of you sell them all?"

The seniors of the badminton team are also helping to move things and talk to each other.

"That's right, I originally wanted to go with you, but you also know that it's really hard to ask for leave after the third year of high school..."

"It's okay, senior, you have helped me a lot today."

Without the seniors mobilizing with their classmates, it is impossible to gather so many things in such a short time.

"Okay, that's all, let's go."

After everything was installed, Cheng Zhen jumped into the car, Zhou Mu and Li Anan also followed after saying goodbye to the senior.

"Boss, take a closer look, this is really Mr. Xie Yun's handwriting."

The owner of the **** shop thought about this lotus lantern: "It does look like it, but Xie Yun has passed away for more than ten years, so there is no real work by him..."

"Look here, there is his seal. This seal is not handed down to the world, and no one can forge it. Every work of his will be engraved. Most of the seals are inscribed with small seals. Only this can tell the authenticity."

The boss turned over the lotus lantern and took a look: "Yo, there really are."

But when Xie Yun was alive, there were not many works left behind, and who is this young man, he still remembers his engraving habits clearly.

"You are..." The boss was a little curious.

Xie Shi'an narrowed his eyes: "Just say whether you want it or not."

"Of course I want it, but you also know that the antique market is sluggish now, and Xie Yun is not a famous person. As for the authenticity, I will have to find an expert to verify it later. I can only give you 15,000 yuan, no more. .”

Just say "it's not everyone".

Xie Shi'an snatched the lotus lantern from his hand, turned around and left.

The boss was smoking a cigarette and looked at her cheerfully. Within three seconds, this man would definitely come back again.

Sure enough, Xie Shi'an walked to the door and stopped.

"Twenty thousand, not a single point less."

Xie Shi'an counted the money and said another word when he was about to turn around and leave.

"Although Xie Yun is indeed not a famous person, in my heart, each of his works is a unique treasure in this world."

When she went out, Qiao Yuchu also walked out after withdrawing the money from the nearby bank.

"Is it ready so soon?"

Xie Shi'an nodded: "Let's go, let's go to the hospital."

"Okay." Qiao Yuchu reached out and stopped a taxi.

＊＊＊

After a day of sparring, Jian Changnian got his wish and got his generous salary. Although it was still far from 100,000 yuan, it was enough to pay the ICU fee for one day.

Cao Rui was sitting in the car, holding an envelope in his hand, which was the referral fee commission from his friend.

After thinking about it, he handed the envelope to Jian Changnian who was sitting in the back row.

"Here, your little money should not be enough, take it for an emergency."

Jian Changnian was a little surprised: "Brother Cao..."

Cao Rui smiled and didn't look back.

"When you and Shi'an were arguing, I heard it. In fact, I think she can understand your entanglement and pain more or less."

After hearing his words, Jian Changnian remembered the portrait of Xie Shi'an's family hanging in the living room, and bit her lower lip tightly.

At that time, I was impulsive, and I blurted out the words without thinking about it. Now I have calmed down and regretted it.

"I...I know her...she cares about me, thank you, Brother Cao, I will apologize to her."

Cao Rui turned around and smiled, and set off in gear.

"When I met her, she was a little younger than you. Apart from Qiao Yuchu and Cheng Zhen, she didn't have any friends. She was quite a weird child. She could come all the way here. I think she...should really care about you."

＊＊＊

Adding the 5,000 yuan earned today, and the 10,000 yuan Cao Rui gave her, the total is 30,000 yuan.

With the money in her pocket, Jian Changnian arrived at the hospital, got out of the car and rushed all the way to the doctor's office.

"Doctor, I have raised 30,000 yuan, can you please perform an operation on my grandma first, and I will use the rest of the money..."

She pushed open the door, and before she could finish her sentence, she froze in place.

The room was full of people, including Yan Xinyuan, Xie Shi'an, sister Yuchu, Cheng Zhen, Zhou Mu, and even Li Jiajia who had only met once.

"You..." Jian Changnian still couldn't recover, her eyes fell from everyone to the doctor's desk.

The colorful plastic bags are full of money, some fifty one hundred, some dime, and some coins piled together.

Jian Changnian's eyes gradually became moist, she wiped the corners of her eyes, and walked up to take out the money from her schoolbag and put it on the table.

"Doctor, please, please operate on my grandma first."

The chief physician stood up, seeing the same earnest eyes of the people in the room, he couldn't help being a little moved.

"You came at the right time. I held a meeting with the leaders of the hospital in the afternoon and reported the general situation. The unanimous decision in the hospital is to operate on the patient first, and then part of the medical expenses will be reduced or exempted. We will have a meeting tomorrow morning. The patient will make a comprehensive physical assessment, and if conditions permit, the surgery will be scheduled for tomorrow afternoon."

Jian Changnian wept with joy, and bowed deeply to everyone in the room.

"Thank you, thank you doctor, thank you Coach Yan, thank you all."

Zhou Mu came up and grabbed her neck, as if he had discovered some novel continent: "Hey, what do you say about your body, um... a little pure, and a little sexy, why don't you notice it usually?"

Xie Shi'an's eyes drifted over if there was nothing.

I don't know why, maybe it's because there are so many people, Jian Changnian's face is a little hot, she ran in such a hurry, that she didn't button up her baseball uniform, so she quickly pulled up the front of her shirt and wrapped herself up tightly.

"You, stop talking nonsense."

She has a problem with stuttering when she is nervous.

Zhou Mu burst out laughing, and wanted to say something to tease her, but Qiao Yuchu stepped forward and put her arms around her shoulders, and led them out.

"Didn't you eat? Go, go get something to eat."

"But grandma..."

Cheng Zhen chimed in: "Oh, we've already helped you see it, and the hospital even arranged for a nurse to take care of it, so don't worry!"

Li Jiajia: "I came out to help sell things without eating lunch, but I was starved to death."

Qiao Yuchu: "It's okay, I haven't eaten yet, I'll eat more later and let the orange juice pay for it."

Cheng Zhen's head was full of question marks: "Why did you ask me to treat you? I even sold my motorcycle, so I'm penniless."

Listening to their fight, Xie Shi'an's lips curled up into a smile, but for some reason, she felt a chill down her back.

Yan Xinyuan's eyes were murderous.

"I'm still in the mood to eat. You two skipped the training in the afternoon. I haven't settled the score with you yet. Go back and write the inspection for me!"

That being said, it was still Coach Yan who paid for the children to have a meal, surrounded by friends, the most important issue of money has been resolved, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and happy.

Jian Changnian finally showed her long-lost smile these days.

Facing their help, she was moved but also a little curious.

"Where did you all raise so much money?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Mu beamed with joy.

"I'm still smart. When I saw a street stall in front of the school, I remembered that we can also set up a flea market. Anyway, everyone has some unused items in their homes. It's better to sell them. Let’s collect some money.”

Everyone chattered about the interesting things about setting up the stall, only Xie Shi'an was eating quietly, and Jian Changnian's eyes fell on her.

She thought that after the quarrel with someone, Xie Shi'an would never talk to her again, but who knew that she would still come and bring such a large sum of money.

Jian Changnian felt a little guilty, and wanted to try to talk to her.

"Pick up..."

Xie Shi'an put down his chopsticks: "I'm full, eat slowly."

After all, he got up and left the hotel.

Qiao Yuchu tugged at her: "It's okay, let her stay alone."

The meal is almost finished, Yan Xinyuan thought for a while, and then said: "I think I have to inform you about something, the physical test tomorrow afternoon, I have already reported your name to the competition organizing committee, but now the situation is special, Whether you come or not is up to you."

Jian Changnian hesitated for a moment. She knew that for her sake, the entire Binhai provincial team had helped her a lot, but grandma's surgery was also scheduled for tomorrow.

"I…"

Yan Xinyuan patted her on the shoulder.

"The game can be played again. There is only one family member. No matter what decision you make, we will support you."

When they were about to go back, Jian Changnian quietly held Qiao Yuchu back: "Sister Yuchu, pick her up... Where did you get so much money?"

Although Xie Shi'an joined the team earlier, and the salary of the first team is a little higher than that of the second team, but where can it be more? It still made Jian Changnian a little concerned.

Qiao Yu started to speak but stopped: "She..."

"Sister Yuchu, please, I don't want her to do something that makes me feel sad because of me."

Facing Jian Changnian's sincere plea, Qiao Yuchu still let go.

"Okay, okay, she sold the lotus lantern her grandfather left her."

"What?!" Jian Changnian was taken aback, feeling her throat was congested, and she was a little speechless.

She has been to Xie Shi'an's house and knows what that lotus lantern means to her.

"Actually, you don't have to take it too seriously. I think Shi'an understands you. For her, after her grandfather passed away, badminton is all she has. No one wants to win more than her. The winner of the last National Competition At that time, Shi An had several titles, but because other teammates did not perform well, we only won the runner-up. You came this year and made up for the gap. I think she should be very happy even though she didn’t say it. As for I-"

Qiao Yuchu shrugged, pretending to be relaxed and smiling.

"Maybe this is my last national competition."

Jian Changnian's eye sockets were wet all of a sudden, something blocked her throat and she couldn't speak.

"Miss Yuchu..."

Qiao Yu saw her like this for the first time, and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.

"Okay, don't be sad. Just like what Coach Yan said, the game can be played again, and there is only one family. Whether you come or not, we are all friends, friends forever."

Jian Changnian nodded heavily with tears in her eyes.

Coach Yan was urging them to go back, and when Qiao Yuchu was about to leave, she followed up with a question.

"By the way, Miss Yuchu, can you tell me which **** shop Shi'an went to?"

"Zhengbang Pawn Shop, what's wrong?"

Jian Changnian shook her head, and waved goodbye to her: "It's okay, be careful on the road, goodbye."

Xie Shi'an opened the door, jumped on it, and Qiao Yuchu followed.

"What did you just say to Jian Changnian?"

She hid it up with a haha.

"No, just advise her to take care of herself and be happy."

＊＊＊

After separating from them, Jian Changnian did not return to the hospital, but asked everyone he met, "Excuse me, where is Zhengbang Pawnshop?"

Qiao Yuchu left in a hurry and didn't have time to tell her the address. She didn't have a mobile phone and couldn't read the navigation, so she had to use this clumsy way to ask for directions. Fortunately, a kind person told her.

Jian Changnian got on the bus and found the **** shop after wandering through several streets.

It was late at night, and the boss was about to close the door. Suddenly someone came in from under the shutter door, which shocked the boss a lot. He thought it was a thief.

"Who is it?" He picked up the broom in the shop.

Jian Changnian hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, I'm not a thief, I just wanted to ask you, did a girl come by in the afternoon and sold you a lotus lantern?"

Seeing that it was a child, the boss put down the weapon in his hand but remained vigilant. Could it be that the lotus lantern was stolen by that person, and the right owner came to the door?

"I don't know, confiscated."

Jian Changnian walked to the counter with a somewhat eager expression.

"I'm her friend. That lotus lantern is a relic of her grandfather. It means a lot to her. If something happened recently, she would definitely not take it out and sell it. I beg you, don't sell it for now. is it okay?"

The boss looked at her suspiciously: "You said that the relic is a relic? I have already given the money, and this thing is mine now. I have the final say on whether to sell it or not."

"I..." Jian Changnian took out his pocket and was penniless.

She looked embarrassed: "I... I don't have any money for the time being, but I will definitely find a way to redeem it. Please, don't rush to sell it, okay? This thing is really important to my friend! "

The boss saw that she was sincere and told the truth.

"Let me tell you the truth. I've already contacted the buyer. After all, the sold items are not hers. How can I do business after all? If you want to go back, you can redeem them with money."

"I..." Jian Changnian pulled the pendant off her neck in desperation, and she didn't even think about selling it when she was raising money for grandma.

"Can I trade this with you?"

Seeing the fineness of the jade, the boss widened his eyes, took it from her hand, and took it under the lamp to examine it carefully.

"Yes, it's a good piece of jade, but..."

He glanced at Jian Changnian, wanting to take advantage of it.

Jian Changnian snatched it away, turned around and left.

"It's fine if you don't change it."

The boss hurriedly chased him out from the counter.

"Change, oh, don't go, I'll take it for you."

The boss who picked up a cheap jade in vain touched the piece of jade, picked it up and blew it again and again, his face beaming with joy.

Jian Changnian also redeemed the lotus lantern as she wished, and before she left, she took another look at the jade with mixed feelings in her heart.

After thinking about it, she stopped and bowed.

"Boss, I know it's unrealistic for you to keep the things that are sold, but I want to say that when people are forced to do so, if there is a buyer to buy it, please leave a contact information. In the future, if conditions permit, I will definitely redeem it again, please."

The boss thought he was just a child, but he didn't expect to speak in a different way, and he was full of sincerity.

After mediating here for so long, the boss was a little moved.

"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely find someone who knows how to do it."

"thank you."

Jian Changnian nodded slightly, turned and left.
