Chapter 931

Qin Shiou was sitting in a daze when someone patted him on the shoulder.

He was startled, subconsciously hugged the statue and looked back. It turned out to be an acquaintance, the new mayor Hamley.

There was a gentle middle-aged man beside Hamley. The middle-aged man was carrying a bag. Qin Shiou ignored the mayor and said to the middle-aged man first, "Sir, is it convenient to lend me your bag? I'll pay you back tomorrow. "

The middle-aged man twitched at the corners of his mouth, looked at Qin Shiou with strange eyes and said hesitantly, "sorry, man, I don't think it's very convenient."

Hamley helped Qin Shiou and said, "no, Slavic, we all know that there are only a few unimportant documents in the bag. Take it out and put it in Xiao IKA's bag. Lend this bag to Qin. I guarantee he will return it to you."

Slavic, a middle-aged man, is obviously a civil servant. What can he do if the mayor speaks? He took out the documents in his backpack and gave it to Qin Shiou.

Qin Shiou put the statue into his bag, and the temptation was slightly reduced, so that he could communicate with people normally.

Hamley sat with him and said happily, "how long haven't we met? God, you just stay in the fishing ground and enjoy your good life. Why don't you come to the city to participate in some activities? "

Qin Shiou said, "you know, Winnie is pregnant. I have to take care of her all the time."

Hamley nodded and asked, "where's Winnie? Is she here today? "

Qin Shiou said she didn't come, the traffic was inconvenient and the weather was cold, so she left Winnie at home. He asked Hamley what he was doing. Was he here to host the auction?

He said this is a joke. The mayor must not be able to preside over the charity auction for the people. It's not a matter of identity, but that he is now one of the most unpopular people on the scene.

When the Canadian government publicizes itself, a sentence often appears, which means that the primary responsibility of the government is to maintain social fairness and justice and ensure that social vulnerable groups are not eliminated.

What is the purpose of charity like this? Nature is to help vulnerable groups. But according to the government, shouldn't it be the responsibility of the government? Besides, taxpayers pay taxes every year. Where does the tax go in the end? Why does the government not solve the problem of funds and need taxpayers to donate when the people under its jurisdiction are affected?

Sure enough, after listening to his words, Hamley smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "the government is not omnipotent. Qin, you don't know how bad the stall I took over is. I don't want to complain to you. I can only say that I came to the charity auction in my personal capacity. "

The two were communicating. At this time, a white glove in a suit and shoes came on the stage and knocked on the table to signal everyone to be quiet. Then he waved and some children came out to send the brochure to the people present.

This brochure introduces the areas affected by the snow disaster and the destructive power. Naturally, it calls on everyone to actively participate in the auction to help the victims.

After reading the brochure, Qin Shiou knew that the charity auction in the four towns was organized by the congregation of the Baptist rectangular Christ Cathedral, and Cabot was one of the leaders. The manual specially mentioned his second grandfather Qin Hongde and introduced the origin of charity auctions in four towns and the results of several previous auctions.

After the auction, white gloves took out the auction items one by one. There were many things to participate in the auction, even the simple strokes drawn by children.

At the beginning of a period of time, all auction items started at 10 yuan, which was of little value. Most of the people who took out the auction items took the opportunity to donate some small money.

Qin Shiou raised his cards several times and won some small things. These things are useless to him, but as he said before, he can accumulate virtue for his children because it won't cost much money. He is not short of money now.

In particular, he got the unexpected joy of the Dragon birthday statue at the auction. According to the tradition of his hometown, he also had to make some money. He can't get all the good things in the world.

Moreover, Qin Shiou feels that everything in the world is really doomed. The ambergris he gets is almost related to his kind behavior. Last time he got the ambergris bracelet, it was because he generously gave up investigating the responsibility of the garbage ship owner.

The white glove held up another sculpture of a little tiger. Qin Shiou is now very sensitive to wood carving. He doesn't know if this little thing is related to ambergris, but it's dark, so he simply raised his hand and would rather kill it by mistake.

As a result, he just raised his hand, and Hamley next to him also raised his hand. They looked at each other. Qin Shiou whispered, "are you interested in this?"

Hamley said helplessly, "man, this is the auction item I took out. It's a small toy carved with oak when my sister and I were young."

Qin Shiou touched his nose. Since Hamley said it was carved with oak, it obviously had nothing to do with him, so he took the opportunity to go downhill without continuing to bid.

But someone carried it with Hamley, and that person had something to do with Qin Shiou - Nelson.

The white glove shouted, "oak tiger toy, 200 Canadian dollars - OK, the gentleman offered 200 Canadian dollars - 300 Canadian dollars, oh, thank our mayor, he offered - OK, the gentleman increased the price to 500 Canadian dollars..."

Hamley looked at Nelson strangely. They naturally knew each other. He asked, "what's Nelson doing? How could he be interested in such a small toy? "

Qin Shiou glanced at Hamley unkindly. He wouldn't tell this guy about Paris. It is estimated that the mayor was busy as a dog after taking office and didn't pay attention to his sister's emotional problems.

Nelson was impatient and had a tug of war with his brother-in-law. Later, the price increase directly mentioned 1000 yuan.

The first cry of surprise rang out at the scene. We don't understand how such a stall can buy a pile of broken toys for five yuan to sell at a high price of 1000 yuan. However, this is a charity auction, and everything can't be measured by common sense.

Hearing the price of "1000" shouted by the white glove, Hamley whispered, "this bastard must regret it. Does he think it's made of gold? Well, well, since he wants it, let him take it! "

Qin Shiou secretly said to your unlucky brother-in-law, Nelson is going to take away not only a toy, but also your baby sister.

In the future, the value of things is getting higher and higher. There are auction treasure appraisal experts invited by the church in the background. They urgently evaluate the items involved in the auction. The worthless things are simply divided into files. If they are important things, they have to be evaluated carefully.

The auction will not be completed overnight, but will be divided into several time periods. The first auction comes to an end. At this time, a Chinese painting is taken out, which is an ultra long scroll. The name of the scroll is the picture of the river on the Qingming Festival!
