Chapter 205 204 Antiques, Fried River, Fishing

In the small courtyard of Luoyang.

Wang Yuan looked around at Aunt Xue, Ergou and the others, and said with a smile: "The bonus will definitely not be missing for everyone, I will give you a thousand yuan each!"

Wow!

In an instant, a group of people around were shocked. They thought that giving three hundred to five hundred yuan was not a small amount, but they did not expect that Wang Yuan would be so generous and directly give one thousand yuan.

One thousand yuan is almost equivalent to a year's salary of many state-owned enterprise workers.

Knowing that they would get a large bonus, everyone started talking happily, especially some of the little sisters brought by Aunt Xue, who had already started talking about where to buy clothes and skin care products.

In the northwest corner of the yard, there is a secret door leading underground.

Aunt Xue took Wang Yuan and Ergou to the northwest corner of the yard, moved the reed mat and opened the iron gate.

"Xiaoyuan, come down with me. All the antiques I bought during this period are down here. They are mainly various porcelains. In addition, there are also a small number of ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, bronzes, jades, etc."

Electric lights are installed in the cellar, the light is dim, and it is very quiet.

Aunt Xue walked in front along the wooden ladder, Wang Yuan followed carefully, while the two dogs stayed in the cellar.

After getting down from the cellar and walking west, there was an iron gate less than 20 meters away. Aunt Xue took out the key and opened the lock, pushed open the gate and continued walking in with Wang Yuan.

"It's safer with this fence. If someone wants to steal the treasure, it won't be easy to get in without the key."

After passing the fence gate, there is a large cellar. The wooden shelves on the left are full of porcelain, with various kinds and complicated patterns. The wooden shelves on the right are filled with miscellaneous items. Wang Yuan can't tell what they are for many of them.

Used.

"How many things are there?"

"There are 2,115 pieces of porcelain and 1,365 pieces of miscellaneous items. The total cost is 364,523 yuan. This is the account book." Aunt Xue took an account book from the shelf next to it and handed it to Wang Yuan:

"The few boxes of stuff outside haven't been put into storage yet, so they're not included. What I bought are all high-quality antiques. I don't want some ordinary antiques of little value."

Every treasure and antique is so admirable that people can't put it down. After looking at it for a while in the cellar, the two of them returned to the yard through the exit.

"Let's take all these things away tomorrow."

"Okay, by the way, Xiaoyuan, I plan to leave the affairs here to Ergou. I want to go back to Harbin."

"If you have anything to do, just go back. Ergou can now take charge of his own business. It's okay to leave it to him."

Wang Yuan patted Ergou on the shoulder. Ergou, who had grown taller and stronger, smiled innocently.

Ergou is wearing a gray top and black pants. He has a crew cut and looks much more mature, less childish and more stable.

In the evening, Wang Yuan and Ergou drank a lot, and fell asleep drunkenly in the east room. Ergou's snoring woke him up in the middle of the night. When he pushed Ergou awake, the latter said directly:

"What's wrong, Brother Yuan, I'm not snoring."

"Anyway, I heard you snoring... Now go to sleep, I'm almost exhausted."

After Wang Yuan lay down, he felt that it was not long before he heard it raining outside. There was a cat meowing among the rustling rain. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was already dawn.

After getting dressed and getting off the kang, it turned out that Aunt Xue was sitting on the small bench in the main room, petting the cat. She frowned slightly and looked at the rain outside the door, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Aunt Xue got up so early~ahhhh~" Wang Yuan yawned again and again. He didn't sleep well and felt his head was swollen: "Where did the big orange cat come from? It's quite fat~"

"My neighbor lives on the west side. I often feed her food, and she is no longer afraid of me."

Aunt Xue scratched the itch under the big orange cat's neck. The big orange cat stretched its neck and snored comfortably with its face full.

At noon, Wang Yuan invited all the brothers and sisters in Luoyang to have a meal, and in the afternoon he transported all the antiques away.

Wang Yuan left 200,000 yuan in cash to Aunt Xue, of which 50,000 yuan was Aunt Xue's reward, and the remaining money was used to purchase antiques in the future.

"Aunt Xue, aren't you going back to Harbin? Come back with me."

"That's okay. By the way, I know a friend who wants to open a new pit. Do you want to go and have a look? I heard it belongs to the Zhou Dynasty."

The goods that are opened in the new pit can be traded on the spot - of course it is a test of eyesight, and whether it will be eye-catching varies from person to person.

During the chat between Wang Yuan and Aunt Xue yesterday, they also learned a lot about the gang of thieves. They were wealthy but equally ruthless.

Many people in this era are quite superstitious, but the gang of thieves and thieves lack awe of ghosts, let alone people. Pistols are standard equipment, and many people have submachine guns, grenades and the like.

Dare to shoot with the police, da da da~

Wang Yuan was reluctant to explain to them. Maybe the other party saw that he was rich and wanted to kidnap him. In the 1990s, there were a lot of kidnappings, blackmails, and extortion.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later when we have a chance." Wang Yuan and Aunt Xue left the small courtyard with their luggage and took a taxi to the train station.

Sitting in the car and looking at the rapidly retreating scenery outside the window, Wang Yuan sighed in his heart: "Luoyang, the divine capital, the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, how many treasures are buried underground?"

In later generations, Wang Yuan came to Luoyang. This is a prefecture-level city with a very rich history. The history of more than 1,500 years of capital creation has left too many treasures, such as the ruins of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the ruins of Luoyang City in the Han and Wei Dynasties, and the ruins of Luoyang in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The ruins of the city and so on are all here.

There might be a prince or nobleman buried under the mutton soup shop on the roadside.

…

Tossing and turning all the way.

When the train was approaching Harbin, it was just after 10 o'clock at night. The snoring on the train was intertwined with the announcer's voice, and the smell of feet and sweat floated in the air.

Aunt Xue sat on the left side of Wang Yuan, frowning and sighing: "Xiao Yuan, you are talking about my eldest son...hey."

"What's wrong with him?"

"She said she had given birth to another son, and she was very short of money and wrote to me asking for money. Of course, she didn't know where I live now, so she sent the letter back to my original residence. One of my little sisters sent me a telegram to tell me.

of."

Aunt Xue looked up at the night outside the window. Dots of bright stars flashed past. They were villages.

Aunt Xue is relatively rich now but she doesn't have many friends. Wang Yuan is one of them.

Aunt Xue is about the same age as Wang Yuan's mother, Ergou is her second son, and she has an eldest son who is already married.

It was just that during the most difficult days for Aunt Xue and Er Gou, when there was not only no food to eat in the winter, but also not enough firewood for heating and they might freeze to death, the eldest son disliked the mother and son for being a drag on them and ignored them.

Aunt Xue, an old mother, was heartbroken.

It is difficult for an honest official to deal with household matters. Wang Yuan didn't know what to say, so he helped Aunt Xue scold her eldest son? Then if the mother and son reconciled, wouldn't he be a different person inside and outside?

"Many things cannot be distinguished by right or wrong. Aunt Xue, just do whatever you think in your heart. Anyway, our friends will definitely support you."

"Well, I understand."

Aunt Xue wanted to cry a little. During her most difficult period, she often reflected on herself. Did she do something wrong to her eldest son? No.

At that time, she was thinking, why didn't she strangle her eldest son to death when he was young? She wouldn't have raised a white-eyed wolf... She still couldn't let go after so long.

…

After resting in Harbin for a night, Wang Yuan arrived home at 1 o'clock noon the next day.

It's summer vacation, and the little kids in the village are going crazy.

Every day he either digs out bird eggs, catches squirrels, or fishes, but breaks off other people's corns and roasts them to eat. When he eats, the area around his mouth is black.

Wang Yuan had just arrived home on his motorcycle when he saw his cousin Wang Lei running over carrying a basket.

Wang Lei is the fourth child of his second uncle's family and Wang Meng's younger brother. He is 14 years old this year.

In the 1990s, the education level of Wangjiatun children was generally low. Many of them attended primary school for two or three years and then dropped out of school - which is already considered good.

After all, in rural areas of many provinces, many children do not go to school and are simply illiterate. In a few decades, they will not even be able to use a smartphone.

14-year-old Wang Lei is already considered a quasi-adult.

Influenced by Wang Wen, Wang Yuan, Wang Qing, Wang Fang and others, my second uncle drove Wang Lei to junior high school.

However, Wang Lei's heart had long since faded. He often skipped class during class, either to fish, catch toads, cicadas, or to pick up girls.

"Leizi, why are you running so fast?"

"Second brother, I touched several dragon eggs! I wonder if they can be hatched in a chicken farm? It would be a waste to eat them."

Wang Yuan stopped the motorcycle and took a look into the basket: "You bastard, you are just lying to me. These are not Feilong's eggs. They are obviously Shaban chicken eggs."

The eggs of the flying dragon are very similar to the eggs of the sand half chicken, but they can also deceive a layman. Wang Yuan has seen too many flying dragon eggs, so naturally he cannot be deceived.

"Hehe, second brother, you are quite smart."

"I...you brat, see if I don't beat you up."

Wang Yuan chased Wang Lei, who was so frightened that he ran away, but how could he possibly outrun Wang Yuan? He was quickly caught and slipped back.

Li Yan was not at home, so Wang Yuan took out the key from under the bricks, opened the door and walked in with Wang Lei.

He put it on the table, picked up a big watermelon, washed it, cut it and ate it with Wang Lei. Wang Lei looked like he had never eaten watermelon before and wanted to stuff the rind into his mouth.

"Can you please slow down a little? Look at how ravenous you are."

"Hmm, it's sweet, it's so delicious... I just came down from Shanshang and I'm almost dying of thirst."

Wang Lei couldn't speak clearly. He ate too hard and some red watermelon juice flowed down his chin.

"By the way, why isn't my sister-in-law at home?"
