I'm back in 1990

Chapter 747: You can get an Audi

When Yu Xiang got home that evening, she took the briefcase from the man and began disinfecting it, asking as she did so, "Have you eaten?"

"I've already eaten!" Huang Xiaochuan took off his coat, intending to go to the bathroom to take a shower first!

This is a habit he developed over the years of marriage with Yu Xiang. It was Yu Xiang who initially asked him to do it, but Huang Xiaochuan gradually got used to it.

"I have something to tell you after you take a shower!" Yu Xiang casually instructed.

Huang Xiaochuan nodded to indicate that he understood.

After taking a shower, Yu Xiang said to the man, "When I went to pick up Xiaodong and Xiaoduo from school today, my sister-in-law chatted with me for a few minutes."

Huang Xiaochuan didn't take it seriously and casually replied, "Oh! Did your sister-in-law need something?"

Yu Xiang told the man about Jiang Rong's visit earlier that day: "Sister-in-law, you came to see me about that camera. I didn't realize your old camera was so expensive. The teacher talked to you about it and suggested we get Xiaodong a new camera."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan realized he had indeed forgotten about it. His Leica 6 was a limited edition, a coveted collectible among many photography enthusiasts. Yet, a child under nine years old was using it as a regular camera in a photography class. No wonder the teacher was so shocked.

This situation was discovered by chance by the teacher of the extracurricular class. When he saw the camera that Huang Zeji had brought to the school, he was shocked.

He recognized the camera even before it was taken out of its case. He had only seen it a few times before, and he never expected it to be in the hands of a second-grade student. What kind of family is this? They just casually let their child practice with this legendary treasure?

When he took out the limited edition 6 from the leather case after obtaining Huang Zeji's permission, he was even more shocked than before.

After carefully examining the camera for a moment and confirming that it was indeed the original German-made version, the teacher immediately put the camera back into its leather case and returned it to Huang Zeji. He also instructed Huang Zeji to keep it safe, as he would rush off to find Jiang Rong as soon as class ended.

When Jiang Rong found out, she didn't feel much. After all, no one knew her brother-in-law's family's circumstances better than her. But since the teacher had come looking for her, she still had to tell Yu Xiang about it. Bringing such valuable items to school could cause unnecessary worry for the teacher and classmates if something went wrong.

Huang Xiaochuan immediately made a decision: "Then let's listen to the teacher and buy our son a new, ordinary point-and-shoot camera. We shouldn't take the old one back; we've already given it to him. Taking it back would only upset him. We can just not take it to school!"

"Then you go and talk to our son about this!" Yu Xiang immediately assigned the task to her husband. After all, he was the father, and it was only natural for him to handle this kind of communication with their son.

"Okay, leave this to me!" Huang Xiaochuan readily agreed.

He went straight to his son's room, making sure to knock on the door before going in.

"May I come inside?"

Upon hearing his father's voice, Huang Zeji, who was sitting in front of the computer, immediately ran to the door and opened it for him.

"dad!"

Upon seeing his son, Huang Xiaochuan said, "I've come to discuss something with you!"

Huang Zeji stepped aside to make way for Huang Xiaochuan to go in.

After Huang Xiaochuan went inside and sat down, Huang Zeji asked, "Dad! You came here to talk to me about the camera, right?"

"Oh? You knew that?"

Huang Zeji nodded: "When Teacher Gu was looking at that camera over and over, I felt something was wrong. Later, when he carefully returned the camera to me, I knew that your camera must be very expensive."

Huang Xiaochuan scratched his head. Sometimes he wasn't sure whether his child's precocity was a good thing or not.

He cleared his throat and discussed with Huang Zeji, "Now that you know, things are easier. Since we've given you the camera, your mother and I won't take it back. You can keep and use it. I'll buy you a new, more ordinary camera so you can take it to your extracurricular classes. You don't need to take the old one to school anymore, okay?"

Huang Zeji didn't make his father waste any time explaining; he simply nodded in agreement.

"OK!"

Huang Xiaochuan glanced at his son's room. The room was tidy and organized, with everything neatly arranged. It didn't look like a boy's room at all. On the contrary, his daughter Huang Ruiying's room was a complete mess!

The housekeeper has to clean up for her several times a day. Her mother has scolded her for this countless times, but she just can't change it!

Seeing that he had said everything he needed to say and there seemed to be nothing more to explain, and that his son seemed to be doing his homework (which the boy didn't like having anyone with him while he was doing), Huang Xiaochuan got up and went back to his bedroom on the third floor.

Seeing that the man had returned so quickly, she asked in surprise, "Why are you back so soon?"

Huang Xiaochuan sat down on the recliner: "I've said everything I needed to say, and my son has agreed. Why shouldn't I leave? Besides, he's doing his homework right now."

Yu Xiang was somewhat annoyed: "Can't you take this opportunity to spend more time alone with our son?"

Huang Xiaochuan laughed and said, "I've been drinking today, my breath still smells bad. Maybe another time!"

The mention of drinking immediately made Yu Xiang forget about her son, and she started nagging again: "Why have you been drinking every day lately? Can't you drink less? Let me tell you, if you don't take care of your health when you're young, you'll suffer when you're old!"

Huang Xiaochuan nodded, giving a perfunctory reply: "Got it!"

However, Huang Xiaochuan was a little puzzled. Yu Xiang was only in her thirties, so why had she suddenly become so talkative? She wasn't like this before.

Fortunately, Yu Xiang stopped nagging. Huang Xiaochuan picked up today's newspaper and started reading. As he read, he thought that before long, when smartphones were introduced, these paper newspapers would also be impacted.

After a while, Yu Xiang came over and sat down next to Huang Xiaochuan.

"Hey! How come your camera is so valuable?" Yu Xiang asked with a hint of curiosity.

In her memory, that unassuming old camera looked quite ordinary.

Huang Xiaochuan laughed and said, "I bought it early back then, so it wasn't as expensive as it is now. The main reason is that this kind of camera was produced in the 1970s and has long been discontinued. There are very few left, so it is quite valuable in the collector's market. I reckon that I could trade this camera for an Audi A6 without any problem."

"Huh?" Even though Yu Xiang had handled countless sums of money, the value of that camera still startled her: "It's so expensive! You didn't even stop me from buying it. I should have known better than to give it to my son."

Huang Xiaochuan, however, didn't seem to care, saying, "It's alright. It's not bad for boys to be exposed to good things. Besides, our son handled it very well!"

Yu Xiang, trying to salvage the situation, said, "From now on, I will never give the child anything you've used!"
