Chapter 694: Chapter 0694: Buying Second-hand Goods 2_1

Apart from the dry food that Wang Fengqiao was preparing, Feng Qingxue took some candies, biscuits, and nutrition products from her space under the pretext of her comrade’s financial support and gave them to Wang Zhengguo. She also shoved a hundred yuan into his hand, "Uncle, don’t bother with formalities. Xiaoyun is living with you, I should cover her living expenses. Besides, I can’t eat these things during my confinement period, and I don’t want to feed Xibao all the time. Look at how fat he’s gotten, he might end up with cavities. Take some of these back to my cousin as a reward for her."

Wang Zhengguo’s refusal was choked back by her before he could even utter it. His attention was entirely on Xibao, "Where is Xibao fat? This is called being blessed. He followed you through wind and rain at such a young age, don’t be harsh on him in terms of food."

"Uncle, you can’t say that with your eyes wide open. If he were to be harshly treated, would he be this fat?"

Wang Zhengguo glanced at Xibao, who was stuffing his face with chicken egg custard, and couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed that during the past two days, Xibao was constantly eating.

"Although he’s fat, he’s cute when he’s fat!" Wang Zhengguo added.

Feng Qingxue had no words to counter with, and while Lu’s father was around, she would let him take Xibao out to play every day to expend Xibao’s energy. He was fat enough already and didn’t need to get any fatter. If he became so fat that his face deformed, he wouldn’t look good anymore.

At this point, Feng Qingxue couldn’t help but feel grateful that Xibao’s body shape was very similar to Lu Jiang’s!

Compared to kids his age, Xibao was a bit fat, but he was also a lot taller, at least a head taller.

After buying a ticket and boarding the train, Wang Zhengguo had just started his journey when the sky was starting to brighten. Lu’s father, who had sent him off, returned and went to the antique market he remembered. Compared to his hometown, the variety of items here was certainly richer.

Before Lu’s father left, he made sure to take a lot of money with him.

He had been to the capital and Shanghai when he was young, and the general layout hadn’t changed much.

It was a cold day, and there weren’t many people. Most people didn’t dare to be too bold. They just said that they didn’t need the old items at home and wanted to sell them to supplement their lives. Fortunately, it was not as tense as a black market.

Lu’s father’s gaze was precise, and he had spotted a diamond ring after only a few steps. The main diamond was big, about twenty or thirty carats by his estimate. However, due to poor cutting and the fact it was a white diamond and not a colored one, it looked a bit dull and not like a diamond. He managed to get it for just two yuan.

Xibao, wearing his woolen hat, was looking this way and that. His little chubby hand, covered in a glove, pointed to a small jade-green object, "Grandpa!"

"Xibao wants this?" Lu’s father followed his guidance and saw a jade snuff bottle.

The jade snuff bottle was carved exquisitely and had a tourmaline stopper. It was a treasure.

Lu’s father could tell at a glance that it was an item passed down from the Qing Palace. He chuckled and asked, "My grandson wants this item, how much are you willing to sell it for? We really want to buy it, so give us a fair price."

The old man, looking rather downtrodden, didn’t raise his head, "Ten yuan."

"Deal!" Lu’s father caught sight of several interesting objects and didn’t bother haggling over the price. He paid the ten yuan first and handed the snuff bottle to his grandson to play. Then he squatted down to look at the other items the old man had. It turned out that there were indeed many good items, at least half of the entire collection.

Probably due to Lu’s father’s straightforwardness, the old man raised his wrinkled face and scrutinized Lu Zhiyuan a moment before pointing to the items in front of him, "One hundred yuan, you take them all! I know the value of my own items. You won’t find many items as good as mine on this whole street. You won’t regret taking them all off my hands for one hundred yuan."
