Chapter 704: Sky-high lighter

ps: Two or three things for book friend Gigi
Xiao Peng smiled and shook his head. Martin said: "Xiao, I know you may not be satisfied with the price. Actually, I really want to give you more, but my wife and I have been saving money for these years and are preparing to perform surgery on my wife. I want her to experience motherhood. Feelings. Hope you can understand."
"Huh?" Xiao Peng was shocked. "Martin, is your wife in her fifties? She is already menopausal, right? Can she still have children now?"
Martin nodded and said: "Don't underestimate the power of science. With the current medical skills, she can completely restore her uterus to a normal state. After a period of medical care and hormone injections, she can completely resume menstruation and ovulation. The biggest regret in her life is that she can't feel the feeling of being a mother, so I have been saving for her surgery fees for these years. So I am giving you a little bit of money, can you accept it?"
Xiao Peng smiled: "You misunderstood what I meant. I shook my head not because I was not satisfied with the money, but I didn't want it at all."
"How can that be?" Martin's eyes widened.
Xiao Peng waved his hand: "Martin, you are indeed a good person. If you don't tell me, I don't know this Quite doll is so expensive. In my eyes, he is also a thing of dozens of dollars. I just made this today. One thousand dollars is enough."
What else Martin wanted to say, but Xiao Peng changed the subject: "Martin, even if you treat your wife physically, what about your problems?"
Martin knew what Xiao Peng meant, after all, he had a serious problem with low sperm density. Martin shook his head: "I'll forget, leave more money to prepare for our future children. I have already thought about it, go to the sperm bank and find a genetically good sperm to be an IVF."
Xiao Peng held his cheeks and thought for a while: "Don't you want your own children?"
Martin smiled bitterly: "Of course I thought about it, but these years, it is too difficult to make money. The medical insurance policy of the Stars and Stripes Nation does not provide medical insurance for operations like this. I have saved medical expenses for my dear for ten years! Do I have to save for another ten years of medical expenses for myself? I want to open it, as long as it is her child, it is my child, isn’t it? We Star Stripe people are still very cheerful. The adopted child treats us. It's all the same. What if there is blood relationship?"
Xiao Peng smiled: "Martin, even if you don't forget to donate to the orphanage, you are a good person. God said, good people should be rewarded."
Martin smiled reluctantly: "I hope, Xiao, in fact, sometimes I question God. I keep asking God for help, but he never listens to my voice and never helps me solve problems!"
Xiao Peng comforted him and said, "Martin, don't give up your faith. You have difficulties to pray to God. It is because you believe in God and God does not respond to you. That is because God believes in you. Believe in me and just guarantee yours. Pious, then God will give you the biggest surprise."
After that, Xiao Peng was unable to complain about himself. A pure atheist inexplicably inherited the witchcraft of Lizhong, but now he is fooling around. Oh no, I am enlightening Catholics. I am really a genius!
Martin listened, and silently drew a cross on his chest. Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Okay, Martin, continue to work. After I have done this for you, there will be my warehouse. By the way, Martin, you can Help me. I don’t have a car. After I sort out the garbage, can you help me to dispose of the garbage?

Martin returned to his senses: "There must be no problem! Let us work hard! I will treat you to a big meal tonight!"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Okay, then I'm not welcome."
In Martin's warehouse, he left most of the children's supplies, but there was not much garbage. Three large garbage bags were cleaned up. After Xiao Peng finished all the work on Martin's side, he asked Martin for some garbage bags, ran to the broken warehouse he had photographed, went in without saying anything, and took out a small box from the box containing the broken hookah. After stuffing it into her backpack, she stuffed trash directly into the trash bag. .
Martin drove the truck over and saw the situation dumbfounded: "Xiao, you really did it to clean up the garbage for them? Is there anything you can gain by turning over?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "In fact, it is really rewarding. I have already installed it and will show you the work in a while." After that, he continued to stuff the garbage into the garbage bag.
Like Xiao Peng, he doesn't even choose, and he loads garbage bags directly, and the cleaning is fast. The entire warehouse has cleaned up eight large bags of garbage.
After Xiao Peng cleaned up the warehouse, he walked out of the warehouse: "Oye, the task is complete!"
Just after speaking, a Chevrolet STEPVAN drove over. Sitting in the car was Sean and one of his brothers: "Xiao, it's so fast!"
The Chevrolet STEPVAN car is probably a car that many people have seen but can't name it. In fact, this kind of car is also very common in the Stars and Stripes. It is a square van. Generally speaking, all fast food trucks, FedEx trucks, ice cream trucks and the like use it.
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "Anyway, it's all rubbish. It must be cleaned up quickly. How did you get there?"
Sean stretched out his thumb: "So what shall I say, Huaxia people will always be our good brothers. You let me escape the nanmu bed trap, and what I have gained here is really good!" After he finished speaking, he learned from his brother. I took a few boxes in my hand: "Unopened 7.62 caliber bullets! Five boxes! That's two thousand five hundred dollars! And that ar-15 is definitely the top configuration. Today is definitely my lucky day!"
"Congratulations, how did you finish packing?" Xiao Peng asked.
Sean replied: "I found the market-circulated guns from the warehouse. I want to go to the record. I just went to the warehouse company to do a registration. Let's eat together tonight. You are definitely my lucky star."
Xiao Peng said, "I have agreed to eat with Martin tonight."
Sean said, "Then let's go together! Martin, what do you think? I think what Xiao said makes sense. Now that it comes out, let's truce."
Martin sighed: "Sien, you have to figure it out. I never thought of going to war with you."
Sean laughed and said, "That's all, Hodison, you can help. Put the garbage that Martin and Xiao cleaned up in our car. Let's get rid of the garbage first."
Martin waved his hand hurriedly: "How embarrassing is this?"
Sean said: "Xiao is right. We are all Idaho people after all. We can't let them, Californians, take advantage of us. If we use my car to send garbage, we can spend a lot less! Hodison, work. !"
Sean said that, Xiao Peng and Martin stopped talking, Xiao Peng thought this Indian was also cute, with distinct likes and dislikes. Be as direct as possible.
The was quickly loaded into the car, and Mrs. Martin poured water from the water tank on the truck to the people for washing. Sean and Martin looked at each other and suddenly laughed. Xiao Peng was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"
Sean said: "I suddenly felt that Martin and I didn't delay making money like this. You said that what we were fighting was called."
Martin nodded: "Actually, I think so too. By the way, Xiao, didn't you say that you also gained something in this broken house? What the is it?"
Xiao Peng smiled slightly and took out a long box from his backpack: "That's it."
Martin asked curiously: "What is this?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "In fact, it's nothing, just three ZIPPO lighters, I think they are always worth five dollars, right? It just so happens that I don't have a better lighter, so I just use them."
Martin took the long box and opened it with flannel inside. Three ZIPPO lighters lie inside: the middle one is a lighter with a brass shell without any pattern, and the other two are covered with a leather case on the outside. It is a mark of the former Soviet Union, the other is a white inlay on the shell of the lighter, and the pattern on it is a sailing ship.
Martin picked up the lighter and observed it carefully. Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Why do you like Martin too? Then you can keep one."
Martin carefully put the lighter in the box and handed it back to Xiao Peng: "Xiao, you are right. Good people are really rewarded. I really can't afford such an expensive lighter. You can cherish it. "
This stunned Xiao Peng: "ZIPPO lighters are not expensive, right?" After finishing speaking, he picked up the brass lighter and said, "You see it is so simple, it doesn't even have a pattern, how much is it worth?"
Martin gave the answer directly: "Twenty thousand dollars." Sean, who was smoking on the side, heard the price and coughed directly: "Martin, your joke is a bit too much. You said this brass lighter costs two. Ten thousand meters gold?"
Martin nodded: "I'm not kidding, this is the first batch of lighters produced by Zippo in 1933. Naturally, they are expensive."
"So this is still an antique?" Xiao Peng held the lighter for a while, pointing to the other two lighters and said: "These two ZIPPOs are not antiques?"
Martin nodded: "These two are not antiques, but these two lighters are more expensive and cost more than $30,000."
Xiao Peng was dumbfounded: "What are these two?"
Martin explained: "To be precise, although these two look exactly the same as ZIPPO, they are not ZIPPO lighters at all, but Fabucci vintage jewelry lighters. The exterior is inlaid with ivory, and the Soviet Union's national emblem uses small ones. Crocodile skin, the gold on the national emblem, that is gold, red, that is ruby."
Sean whistled: "Xiao, you are really developed."
Xiao Peng Leng nodded there, "Well, it really is a good person who has a reward."
Sean scratched his head: "Martin, I wanted to invite you and Xiao to dinner at first, but now how do I feel that it would be most appropriate for him to have dinner with him?"
Martin was silent for a while: "Well, I feel that way now."
Xiao Peng: "...Have you guys been so realistic!"
