Li Chenxi was alone in the yard, venting his inner anger for a long time, and then secretly returned to the house and lay on his bed. Wang Xinru had moved to another house and separated from him. He couldn't sleep for a long time. During the day, The picture kept floating in my heart, turning over and over, and finally I could only fall asleep by listening to my favorite music.

The next day soon came. He opened his eyes and saw that it was now 7 o'clock. He would arrive at the company at 8:30. He opened the curtains and the sun shone on his cheeks. Under the sunlight, every pore of his skin could be seen clearly. See, the sunshine is also warm and comfortable.

At this time, as usual, he stretched, and after washing up, he started to prepare meals for the family of four, put them on the table, took a bottle of milk in his hand, and hurried out with the three buns, nearby. I found a shared bicycle and rode it, and hurried to the company.

Soon Li Chenxi arrived at the company, hurriedly finished the remaining steamed buns, poured a glass of water and drank it all. At this time, he sorted out his past thoughts and started calling customers as usual. After a while, he finished all the calls, and then He took the coloring page and went out.

When he arrived at the Guomao Plaza, which has the largest flow of people, he put up a real estate promotion sign and took out a stack of real estate information pages from his bag. He handed out a color page to every person who came over, and his phone number was also written on it.

From time to time, someone would look at the color page, stop and ask him, and some would come to him after walking for a while. At this time, he would register the customer information as usual, and soon the leaflets would be distributed, and he was looking forward to it. He has been looking forward to this moment for a long time, because he loves going to antique markets and looking for collectibles.

Just like that, he put away the promotional sign, rode his bicycle and went to the crowded antique market. He first went to Area C to see how the boss, Qin Banliang, sold it. The boss was attracted by his words, because they had heard these words all year round. The reaction has become a habit, because the buyer is their God. At this time, the boss saw this and said that the young man was 80 yuan a piece.

Li Chenxi looked at the back, and then said that there were cracks on it, and the quality was greatly compromised. The boss said that this thing has been around for a long time since the Qin Dynasty, and it is not easy to have cracks. Li Chenxi said this half a dozen The calligraphy is good, showing the ancient calligraphy skills.

Li Chenxi knew at a glance that this was a counterfeit currency, because the fonts engraved on it couldn't be fake. It was obviously old, and the weight was wrong even when weighed on a scale. The diameter of genuine Qin Banliang coins is generally 2.5 to 2.77 centimeters, and the weight At 2.5 to 3.35 grams.

In ancient times, in 221 BC, Qin Shihuang relied on his wisdom, strategy and bravery, and diligently trained his troops to create new equipment. Each of these was more defensive than other countries, and his swords were extremely sharp, and iron was as good as clay. Finally, after years of fighting and victorious battles, they finally unified the world and stipulated that the currency of Qin Banliang should be used as the national currency. This was also the earliest unified currency of the Qin Dynasty.

In addition, there is also a legend among the people that the ingredients used in making Qin Banliang coins contain special ingredients that can treat bruises on the human body. It is said that the "Half Liang Qian" from the time of Qin Shihuang contains some trace elements. After people have a bruise or sprain, it takes time for the bones to recover, and this substance can greatly shorten the bone healing time.

At that time, some large copper mines were mined to make this coin. It is said that this special element was found in these mines. Due to the demand for currency at that time, it is said that the mining of this mine was completely exhausted at that time.

In other words, it had been mined in the time of Qin Shihuang, so the copper coins minted in subsequent dynasties did not contain this special substance, and therefore did not have this special curative effect. At this time, Li Chenxi said to the boss, "I'll take a look!"

In this way, Li Chenxi didn't find real coins at the first stop. Then he walked around casually, visiting stores and stalls along the road. However, there were still a lot of people in the Antique City because the economy was better and people had more money. More wealth to enjoy the fun of collecting and spiritual wealth.

Li Chenxi suddenly stopped and walked to a stall. There were several people nearby who were also looking at the goods. He asked the boss directly at the counter how to sell this 50 yuan. The boss said that this was a complete bundle of the 80 edition Coin King, which was very rare. , young man, you are very discerning.

When the people nearby heard the boss say this, they couldn't help but come over to watch out of human instinct. Li Chenxi asked, can I have a look at this bundle of coin kings? The boss said yes, young man.

Li Chenxi took the whole bundle of banknotes from the boss and looked at them carefully, savoring them as if tasting tea or wine, feeling the traces of time and emotions in them. After reading it, he said this is a good product. How much does it cost the boss?

The boss said that it was indeed a good product. How much do you want to get it for? Li Chenxi said that the boss should give you a price! After all, you are an expert, and I am just a novice buyer. When the boss saw this, he couldn't help but offered 500,000 yuan. Li Chenxi was not surprised when he heard this figure.

Because he found that this bundle of banknotes not only had a rare serial number, but also clearly had traces of printing errors on the back of the banknotes. In the collection market, wrongly printed coins are generally worth a lot of money, not to mention that he is the king of coins, so the value is immeasurable. For those who know the business, they will buy it immediately, let alone 500,000, even if it is several million.

But Li Chenxi was full of joy at this time, but it was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. No matter how good her craftsmanship was, how could she make a meal of white rice without rice? This also shows that no matter how high Li Chenxi's artistic attainments are, he still can't buy the missing collection if he has no money, just like looking at plum blossoms to quench his thirst.

At this time, Li Chenxi was disappointed and still feeling low. She told her boss that I couldn't afford the price. I'll take a look. I'll contact you next time if I need it. The boss also wants to sell it to free up funds to buy more collections. As for the price, can you tell me the price? Business is alive and well. Just make a price and if you can, it will be a deal. Even if there is no deal, you have made a friend.

Li Chenxi was also very cheerful when she saw her boss. Then she said that the boss really couldn't afford it. If he could afford it, I think I could get it for 400,000 yuan, but I'm too young and don't have that much capital. I hope you'll bear with me. When the boss saw this, he didn't want to say anything anymore. He had also been involved in the collection market since he was young, and he also had a deep understanding of what it was like to see a good treasure without money.

Li Chenxi was also preparing to return to the company at this time. He didn't buy his favorite collection at the antique market today, mainly because he had no money. He found a bicycle and rode back to the company quickly.

He took the promotional sign and put it down and sat directly on his seat. Without waiting for a few minutes, a colleague told Li Chenxi that Mr. Zhao would come to see you. Li Chenxi said without hesitation at this time, "Okay, I will go now, but he will be the one next." The darkest moment of life.

He walked to Mr. Zhao's door and knocked on the door. Mr. Zhao's voice came from inside the door, asking him to come in. Li Chenxi opened the door and said, "Mr. Zhao, please come to me." The other party said yes, sit down first! After Li Chenxi sat down, the other party said that you have been in the company for a few years!

Li Chenxi said that Mr. Zhao has been here for 2 years and 6 months. A colleague said that you left your post without permission. Today we have a colleague who also found out that you left your post without permission and went to the antique market, so I think there is no need to say more. Bar!

At this time, Li Chenxi knew in his heart that he was letting him resign and leave. He said that Mr. Zhao was my problem and I was willing to accept the company's decision. The other party said that it was not my decision, but the human resources department of the company headquarters. Fire you.

I'm thinking of an old relationship. You can apply for resignation by yourself, so that you can find other jobs better. Otherwise, other companies will basically not dare to hire fired employees. Li Chenxi said thank you, Mr. Zhao. I will go through the resignation procedures right now. .

Just like that, Li Chenxi was fired. When he returned home and pushed the door open, he walked to the living room and saw Wang Xinru and Li Lijuan, sitting on the sofa watching TV as usual, cracking melon seeds and eating fruit. The two talked. I laugh and am attracted by the scenes in TV series from time to time.

Now they are just like strangers, and they no longer have the warmth of returning home. In addition, because they have no money to buy the collection that they love so much, and they have been fired by the company, Li Chenxi's heart can be said to be collapsing at this time. The edge.

The only thing that could comfort him was that the mother and daughter had nothing to do with him today. He returned to the room and fell on the bed, loosened his tie and looked at the ceiling, thinking about how penniless he was now. , I also lost my job, what to do next!

Just like that... Li Chenxi fell asleep quickly. This sleep should be the longest sleep time he had ever had, because before, he had to get up early to go to work every day, and he had to make meals for the whole family. When he got home at night, he still had to sleep. She was scolded by Wang Xinru and her mother.

At this time, he lay down for a few minutes and looked at the alarm clock on the table. It was 9 o'clock in the morning. At this moment, he still felt tired. Then he thought about whether he would be scolded for not cooking for them today. And he was tired of fighting.

He quickly got dressed and washed up. He went to the refrigerator and poured a glass of milk. He opened the door and walked out. He walked around the yard facing the sun and hummed his favorite song. Today is a day. On a good day, everything you want can come true... Then I walked to the pool and looked at the lotus flowers, each round leaf, but why was my life so imperfect?

He looked at the bees flying over the flowers, fluttering their wings, and went to the flowers early to collect nectar. As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm. He considered today as an official holiday, and he couldn't help but speak. Some of them comforted themselves with famous quotes and poems.

"There are no roads in the mountains and rivers, but there is a village with dark willows and bright flowers. When you stand at the top of the mountain, you can see all the small mountains. If there is a will, things will come true. If you break the cauldron and sink the boat, the hundred and two Qin Pass will eventually belong to Chu; if you work hard, God will not let you down, and you will be brave enough to cross three thousand Jia can swallow Wu."

Speaking of this, Li Chenxi was thinking in his heart that during the ancient Spring and Autumn Period, the Wu State and the Yue State had a huge war over land. After many days of fierce fighting, the Yue State was later defeated by the Wu State. King Gou Jian of Yue did not escape because he did not escape. , so he was captured by the other party.

After being brought back to Wu State and imprisoned in prison, the soldiers beat him with whips and various instruments of torture. They tortured Goujian again and again, causing him to endure severe physical pain and destroying his inner will. Fortunately, he swallowed his anger and With a strong will, he endured all the tortures, and through his own wisdom, King Wu Fucha finally decided to release Gou Jian and let him return to the capital of the Yue Kingdom.

Gou Jian later found a place to hang a gall in his room. Whenever night fell, he would look at the gall and spur himself on from it day and night, so that he could always remind himself, what's more, Deep down in my heart, I ask myself, as a dignified seven-foot-tall man, as an ambitious gentleman, have you forgotten the shame of the previous defeat?

In this way, Gou Jian silently encouraged himself. He wanted to start from scratch. After several years of preparation and production development, he recruited a large number of soldiers from the private sector, and after long-term military management training, every soldier could become a soldier. More powerful, can fight one against six. Huangtian paid off. In 473 BC, after his own preparation, he launched a counterattack against the enemy country and finally destroyed the Wu Kingdom.

At this time, Li Chenxi was also thinking, why can't I tolerate Wang Xinru and her mother? What's more, now that I have lost my job and have nothing, I can only tolerate it.

He was thinking in his mind, why can't I just sleep on my salary and try my courage, and then he said, I have to sleep on my salary and taste my courage, just like three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu. As the saying goes, sincerity leads to gold and stone, I have to make breakthroughs to improve my own value. , find a bright path for yourself.

In this way, Li Chenxi felt firmer and felt a lot better, but sometimes everything goes as planned in life. So he took a walk in the yard, went out to buy the ingredients for the meal that he needed to cook tonight, and came to the bustling farmer's market.

He bought some broccoli, winter melon, lean pork, carp, eggs, coriander, olive oil, garlic, celery, mushrooms and other ingredients. He was preparing to make Wang Xinru's favorite winter melon meatball soup, garlic broccoli and other dishes for him in the evening, but he didn't know that this was a sign that their quarrel would escalate in the evening.

In a blink of an eye, it was almost six o'clock in the evening. Wang Xinru and her mother should be back soon. Li Chenxi still had a piece of garlic broccoli left. He quickly washed the broccoli and broke it into small florets. After removing the stem part with a knife, Soak it in water and wash it several times, then pour it into the boiling water and add a little edible fine salt.

Then put the whole pot of broccoli and cook it for a while until the broccoli turns green. Then take it out and put it into a cold boiled water. After drying up the water inside, pour the hot pot into the hot pot. of olive oil.

Then pour in the chopped garlic slices, stir-fry the dried broccoli, and after a few minutes, add salt and thirteen spices for seasoning, and finally sprinkle a little chicken essence, put a little sugar inside, and then turn off the Remove from heat and spread food on plate with spatula.

At this time, the rice cooker was ready. After opening the box, there was a smell of rice fragrance. He picked up the bowl, filled the rice, put the bowls, chopsticks and vegetables on the table, and waited for their mother and daughter to come back, because Wang Xinru's father worked overtime, so he told Li Chenxi not to eat at night.

At this time, there was the sound of footsteps at the door. Li Chenxi heard that it must be Wang Xinru who had returned. The moment the door opened, he found that it was Wang Xinru's mother Li Lijuan. Just when Li Chenxi wanted to ask the other party, after Li Lijuan changed her shoes, she just ignored Li Chenxi. Went to the room.

After about ten minutes, the door was opened. At this time, Wang Xinru came back. Li Chenxi hurriedly ran forward and said, "Honey, you are back. I have prepared your favorite meals today. You must be very tired from work today. Call mom." let's eat together.

Wang Xinru said directly, "Go away, you little cutie." Li Chenxi was also embarrassed at this time and didn't know what to say. Li Lijuan heard her daughter's voice coming back, so she came out of the room. She said, "Baby, you are back. Are you tired from work today?"

Wang Xinru said that her mother was fine today. She went to work the same way every day. I also sat in the office and didn’t have to work. Li Lijuan said that my mother really feels sorry for you. She has found a useless husband who can only make you work hard every day and ask you for money every day.

I don’t know if the sun is coming out from the west today, but how come this little cutie Li Chenxi came back earlier than us today! Normally, he should have come back around 9 o'clock. Wang Xinru glanced at Li Chenxi and said, why did you come back so early today?

Li Chenxi was still thinking about how Wang Xinru's attitude towards her mother and me had completely changed. At this time, he came to his senses and said, I resigned yesterday. Why is Wang Xinru surprised? You are so poor and short of money. You used to often ask me for money. Why did you suddenly leave your job?

Li Lijuan saw this and said, Li Chenxi, this little cutie, are you getting rich? This is impossible! If she really gets rich, then our family will marry you if you have nothing. Now you can't think of abandoning her in the future just because you get rich.

The divorce she said before was my instigation. She refused at first. I kept saying it and forcing her. You can't be ungrateful. Xinru can finally enjoy the blessings with you.

Li Chenxi didn't know what to say at this time. Should he say that he was fired by the company, or should he not say anything to make them feel rich? Or should we maintain this difficult marriage for the time being?

Li Chenxi really couldn't choose what to say at this time. If she said that she had become rich and her marriage and family could continue to be maintained, Li Lijuan would also look up to her from now on. What if she didn't say it?

It is estimated that the next step will be very embarrassing. I don’t know what will happen. But after careful consideration, he realized that paper could not cover up the fire after all, so he chose to tell the truth!

Li Chenxi said, "Mom, I was fired by the company. I didn't get rich as you think. Even if I get rich, I will be wholehearted and devoted to my heart. I won't be ungrateful just because I have money. I'm not a fastidious person." People, you can rest assured on this.

I know that my heart is like marrying a person like me who has nothing. It is a blessing that I have accumulated. I cannot ask for it. Even if you give me ten thousand hearts, I will always be the same.

Li Lijuan heard this and said quickly, Xinru, how can this poor guy get rich? Mom advises you to divorce him as soon as possible. He doesn't even have a job now, and he still wants to entangle you and hurt you. You are a girl who is busy working on the computer every day. Mom knows how hard it is.

Wang Xin said excitedly, "Li Chenxi, you have disappointed me so much. The divorce agreement must be signed today. Unless you get rich like my mother said, the marriage will be finalized today."

Li Chenxi directly refused and said, "Wang Xinru, I don't agree to the divorce, even if I die, I won't agree to it." Wang Xinru picked up the plate on the table, threw it at Li Chenxi and said, "You have to leave if you don't want to, but if you can't, see you in court!"

Li Chenxi was hit hard by the plate. The plate and the food weighed at least several kilograms. Because Li Chenxi knew that Wang Xinru loved these dishes the most, so she cooked a very large amount. She felt sorry for this man sincerely.

Just like that, the dinner ended in the evening. Li Lijuan shouted, Li Chenxi, you poor soul, please let go of Xinru! This is good for you. Divorce is the best thing for her. Otherwise, let’s meet in court!

Li Chenxi didn't say anything else, because at this time he could only endure it, and there was no other way, otherwise the things might be thrown out and he would have to sleep on the street, so he chose to endure it in order not to sleep on the street. Then she bent down and picked up the food on the ground. At this time, Wang Xinru and her mother walked towards the door. They heard the door slam shut. They must have gone out to eat!

While Li Chenxi was cleaning the food scattered on the floor, he had mixed feelings in his heart. There was a burst of water in his eyes that was about to gush out, but he suppressed it and did not come out. He finished cleaning the floor alone, sat on the table, and ate a cold drink. White rice, I seemed to be thinking about something, and soon the food in the bowl was finished.

He sat on the table, quietly in a daze, still thinking about the scene just now. Thinking about Wang Xinru forcing himself to go to the court for divorce, he felt as if the world had stopped moving. He had mixed feelings in his heart and sat quietly. On the table, ticking...

In this way, the time quickly arrived at almost eight o'clock. At this time, the door was opened. Wang Zhigang came back with a briefcase. He changed into slippers and asked, "Chenxi, where is your mother and Xinru? They are not watching TV." Li Chenxi calmed down. Speaking of which, dad and the others went out for dinner at night.

Wang Zhigang knew in his heart that there must have been a quarrel, so he didn't ask any more questions when he saw it. He just said to Chenxi, "Let's go to bed early tonight!" You should take more care of things at home. Dad knows that you feel aggrieved, but no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must face them with optimism and positivity. Li Chenxi said, Dad, you have been tired from work all day, so you should rest early.
