Chapter 153

Let’s start again

Susie looked twice at the courtyard door and went to Liao's house.

Uncle Liao saw her and said, "I was just going to find you. If it works, let's leave for Lian Province tomorrow."

"It's already December now, and I can only make two or three trips before the end of the year."

Susie nodded, "That's what I'm here to ask."

"Okay, then I'll come over at six o'clock tomorrow morning."

After returning from Liao's house, Su Qian saw Aunt Zhou still paralyzed at the door of Yu Xue's room, holding on to the door frame with one hand, her eyes unfocused, as if she had lost her soul.

When Aunt Zhou saw Susie, her dull eyes suddenly lit up with hope. She got up from the ground, ran towards Susie, and knelt down with a plop.

"Please, please help me. Help me find Qin Man and ask her to change my confession."

"My son can't die, my son can't die!"

Susie sighed in her heart, she had known why she would do it now.

As long as you are a kind person, you won't end up like this.

She entered the house and closed the door, but she could still hear Aunt Zhou crying outside.

Tian Xiaohui whispered: "She is also very pitiful."

Zhao Tingting glared at her, "Why are you pitiful? Have you forgotten how hateful she was when she came to make trouble with Qin Man?"

Tian Xiaohui stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.

The door was closed and the light in the room was very poor. Susie lit a kerosene lamp and worked on the questions at the table.

I don’t know how long it took, but the crying outside stopped. Zhao Tingting went out to cook at noon, opened the door, and saw no one outside.

Early the next morning, Susie put on an old cotton-padded jacket, a turban, and a bed roll and arrived at Liao's house.

Six sons drove the donkey cart, and the three people quietly left the village.

After two trips, Susie became more proficient. When she got on the train, she squeezed through the crowd and got on the train.

Several people crowded into the dining car and settled down. After a while, Susie took out a Chinese book from the bedroll and started reading.

Liu Zi sat opposite and asked curiously: "What book are you reading? A novel?"

Susie showed the cover to Liuzi.

Liuzi graduated from elementary school and finally recognized the word Chinese. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this a textbook? What's so interesting about this!"

Uncle Liao suddenly patted his head and whispered: "You have the nerve to say, I asked you to read "The Book of Changes" and you said you couldn't understand it, you are just too lazy to learn."

"Look at Susie, her family's conditions are already good. She still works hard to make money and seizes all the time to study. You really need to learn from others."

Liuzi touched his head and said with a smile: "Master, I am already stupid, and if you slap me on the head again, I will become even stupider."

"I really can't understand those books you want me to read."

Uncle Liao shook his head. When Liu Zi was a child, he saw that the boy was clever. He figured out that he had a deep connection with the boy, so he accepted him as his apprentice.

It's just that Liuzi has been studying with him for so many years, but he still hasn't learned one third of his skills.

If this continues, the inheritance of Taoism will be cut off.

Uncle Liao could only bury this worry in his heart. Under the current environment, how could he dare to accept a disciple?

The sixth son would not have followed him if his parents had not died early.

After taking the train for two or three days, we finally arrived in Fujiang City, Lian Province.

Now that Uncle Liao knew Susie's hobbies, he said: "Let's go to the cultural relics store first, and after you have bought something, we will go to the countryside.

Su Qian smiled gratefully at Uncle Liao, and they got on the bus and soon arrived at the cultural relics store.

The store seemed to be the same as the last time she came there. Susie noticed that even some of the things on the counter were the same as before.

It seems that these days, there are really very few people coming here to buy things.

But they don't care. It's state-owned anyway, and they don't care whether it's a loss or a profit.

Susie searched around carefully again. Although there were still some good things, Susie's vision was spoiled by the good things she got. They were not particularly outstanding and had great room for appreciation, so she still looked down upon them.

Besides, portability had to be taken into consideration, so she didn’t even look at some bulky things.

After looking around, Susie found a pink tourmaline bracelet.

This bracelet is so beautiful that it melts her heart. The pink tourmaline beads are all the same size and have a uniform and rich color. The beads, the Buddha's head, the clouds on the back, and the corners are all made of green jade.

The color of jadeite is similar to that of chili peppers, that is, imperial green, and the seed water has reached the level of ice, crystal clear.

The two colors of pink and dark green collide together, which is extremely beautiful and not tacky at all.

Susie took a look at the price and almost lost her temper. Just such a bracelet cost more than 80 yuan!

How many grams of gold is this worth?

It seems that the cheapest things in this era are mainly porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, etc. Things like gems are still expensive!

When Susie thought that more than eighty yuan could collect forty grams of gold, which would earn her a lot of money, she couldn't bear it.

She stared at the bracelet for a long time, then reluctantly said, "Let's go."

Uncle Liao saw that Susie liked this string of beads very much. He asked in surprise, "Don't you want to buy it?"

Susie shook her head, "It's too expensive, not worth it."

She was afraid that she could not bear it any longer, so she hurried out.

Uncle Liao was funny, "If you like it, buy it."

"This little money can be earned back by making one more trip."

When Susie came out, she was blown away by the wind and her mind became clearer. She shook her head, "Forget it, it's not worth buying this."

The thing is indeed beautiful, and she likes it very much, but she knows very well that the style of this thing is probably from the Qing Dynasty, and the room for appreciation is not as big as that of porcelain.

It's not like that time when she first came here. At that time, she didn't have a clear understanding of how valuable money was in this era.

She is buying antiques now, not for collection or for her own liking, but just to accumulate original capital. Therefore, she must have a clear mind and buy things that are cost-effective.

Seeing that Susie was resolute, Uncle Liao did not try to persuade her any more, and they quickly walked toward the suburbs.

After walking for a while, Susie moved the bedroll on her back and couldn't help but ask Uncle Liao, "Why don't we collect it in the city? There should be people in the city who have gold in their hands and want to exchange it for money, right?"

Uncle Liao shook his head, "It's not easy to deal with in the city. There are many police in the city. If we are reported by someone for acting suspiciously, we will be in trouble."

"Although we have a letter of introduction, there is a high probability that everything will be fine in the end, but the investigation by the Public Security Bureau will also take time, and we cannot afford to delay it."

Susie nodded and tried to catch up with Uncle Liao.

Not long after leaving, I got on a tractor thanks to Uncle Liao.

The direction we went back this time was opposite to the direction we went last time, one was to the south and the other was to the north, but they were both suburbs of Fujiang City.

In the next few days, in order to save time, the three people went door-to-door to collect gold every time they visited a village.

I visited several villages, spent more than ten days, and collected a lot of gold. Su Qian spent 20 cents and collected several ancient copper coins from the Tang Dynasty. She didn't even ask for any copper coins from the Qing Dynasty. Almost every household these days has

I can take out a few copper coins from the Qing Dynasty.
