Changqing Village is not that big, and there are not many people in the village now. Most of the younger people have gone out to work, leaving only the elderly and children.

Chen Jing first visited his relatives one by one and gave them gifts. He also gave money to some elderly people in the Chen family.

This is one of the reasons why Chen Jing came back and took out a lot of cash.

At the same time, Chen Jing would also ask them if they had any old objects at home, hoping to find antiques.

Chen Jing is well-known as a good boy in Changqing Village, and the villagers are willing to help him. They don't know what the old things refer to, so they just take out all the old things in the house.

Show him some pots and pans.

It's a pity that Chen Jing didn't find any antiques. He didn't need to use his treasure-appraisal eyes to know that many things had nothing to do with antiques.

And some of them are indeed old and can be considered antiques in a strict sense, but the problem is that they are all crude weapons for civilian use and do not have much value.

What are crude utensils for civilian use? They are some daily utensils in the homes of ordinary people in ancient times.

To give a simple example, a hoe for digging soil will still be a hoe even in a few hundred years. It is common and has no artistic value, so it is naturally worthless.

Of course, civilian utensils are not necessarily worthless. If they are old enough, such as those from thousands of years ago, they may still have some value, but they are too rare. Chen Jing found civilian utensils in the home of a fellow villager in Changqing Village. Basically,

They are all from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

After walking more than half of the village, Chen Jing still found nothing of value. Even among the three opportunities for identification today, he only used it once.

He felt a little disappointed, but he continued to send gifts door to door and asked about old objects.

As the saying goes, antiques are hard to come by. Whether they can be found is another matter. Chen Jing has to do his best.

Shonan, Yishi.

Just when Chen Jing was visiting his fellow villagers, Kong Xue had already returned home. It was not like Chen Jing that she hadn't been home for more than two years. Plus, she was from an urban family and her relatives didn't live close to each other.

, it was troublesome to visit, so I went back to the room to rest after lunch.

At this moment, Kong Xuezheng was chatting with Shen Jing. The latter actually traveled to Europe and sent her various photos.

Boom, boom, boom.

Someone knocked on the door, Kong Xue raised her head and responded: "Come in."

"Xue'er, mom cut some fruit for you, you can eat some." Kong Xue's mother, Zhou Huimei, walked in with a plate of fruit.

Kong Xue saw this and said, "Mom, I was very full just now."

"Then eat some. Eating fruit after a meal is good for your health. You are already a grown-up woman. You are about to be a thirty-year-old woman. Why don't you start paying attention to your care?" Zhou Huimei put the fruit on the bedside table, and then didn't

He wanted to go out, he said while sitting on the edge of the bed.

Kong Xue showed a helpless smile on her beautiful face. She knew that it was about to start again.

"Xue'er, it's not what Mom said about you. You are almost thirty years old. Have you ever thought about getting married? No matter how beautiful or excellent a woman is, it is difficult to marry at this age."

Kong Xue sighed and didn't speak at all. Shen Jing replied on her phone: "My mother started again."

"Hahaha..." Shen Jing made a series of haha, and then said: "So, why do you think I want to travel? But don't you have Xiao Chen now? Tell your mother about it."

"I haven't figured out how to tell her yet. After all, Xiao Chen is a bit young. I'm worried that she and my dad won't be able to accept it."

This sibling relationship with a large age gap is not only difficult for the boy's parents to accept, but also for the girl's parents. The girl may even have more problems to worry about.

"You have to say it sooner or later. It's better to say it sooner than later. Let's see what Auntie's attitude is first."

Seeing this message from Shen Jing, Kong Xue blinked, and some thoughts flashed in her beautiful autumn eyes.

Here, Zhou Huimei is still talking: "Xue'er, if you are not married when you are thirty, you may want to be a stepmother for others in the future. Is it easy to be a stepmother? Let me tell you, Aunt Liu Do you still remember our daughter? She is only two years older than you, and now she is working as a stepmother. Her life was really..."

Seeing her mother talking more and more vigorously, Kong Xue hurriedly said: "Mom, actually, I have a man I like now."

"Huh?" When Zhou Huimei heard this, she was slightly stunned at first, and then her face immediately showed a look of surprise and joy, and she quickly asked: "Really or not? Where are you from? Are you a colleague? How old are you?" "

Seeing her mother's excited and happy look, Kong Xue sighed secretly in her heart. It was fine in the past few years, but her parents were really worried about her marriage in the past few years.

"I'm not a colleague. The firm I work for is all female lawyers. It's not like you don't know, Mom. He is from Sichuan and Chongqing, um, from Tangcheng." Kong Xue opened her mouth to answer Zhou Huimei's question, but she didn't. Say age.

Jiang County is the district and county below Tangcheng. The last time Chen Jing took the high-speed rail in Qingcheng, he arrived directly at Jiang County and did not stop in Tangcheng.

Zhou Huimei saw that her daughter actually said she was from that place, with a happy smile on her face, which meant that her daughter was not fooling her. She asked again: "Then what is his name and what kind of job does he do?" , and, how old are you?" She asked the age question again.

Kong Xue pursed her lips and responded: "His name is Chen Jing. He works in an antique shop. This is in line with your hobbies." Zhou Huimei is usually very interested in antiques and collects them herself, but She doesn't know the ropes and gets cheated all the time.

"Work in an antique shop?" Zhou Huimei frowned slightly when she heard this and said: "The people in this antique shop are quite old. Xue'er, you haven't said how old he is yet. Could it be that he is older than you? A lot, you’re not ready to be someone’s stepmother, are you?”

Kong Xue replied dumbfounded: "Mom, I didn't say he was much older than me. On the contrary, he, he was a little younger than me."

"I'm younger than you." Zhou Huimei breathed a sigh of relief and added with a smile on her face: "It's okay to be one or two years younger. Hey, do you have a photo? Show it to mom."

"Well, let me look for it." Kong Xue actually had photos of Chen Jing on her phone. It was when the two of them were chatting about nothing some time ago. She wanted to see Chen Jing wearing those youthful and energetic clothes that she helped him choose. She specifically asked Chen Jing to take a photo of her.

But now, Kong Xue felt a little regretful. She had known earlier that she should have let Xiao Chen take photos wearing those more mature clothes.

However, Kong Xue still opened her phone and found a photo.

In the photo, Chen Jing is standing next to the ancient bookshelf of Nabaoju. He obviously rarely takes pictures. He is standing upright, a little dull and a little cute. With youthful and energetic clothes, he really looks like a boy. very nice.

Kong Xue looked at the photo, with a touch of tenderness in her eyes.

"Mom, take a look." Kong Kongxue handed over the phone a little nervously. She was very worried about Zhou Huimei's next reaction.
