Curious, I asked, "Is this half red and half white jade?"

Duan Xiaoxi smiled and shook her head: "I don't know either. My grandma just told me to wear it properly and never take it off."

"My sister snatched it to sell before, but she couldn't sell it because people said it wasn't worth anything. It ended up being left on her bedside table, gathering dust. I secretly took it out and started wearing it again." Duan Xiaoxi said, taking it off to look at it. "But sometimes I think even if it's not worth much, I can still sell it for some money. Do you think this thing of mine can be sold? Brother Zhang owes the team so much money because of me, and I feel terrible about it. If I can sell it, at least I can get some grain."

He Wan took the agate, and through her misty eyes, a glint of light suddenly flashed in her eyes. Instantly, she had an idea: "I know a little about this. Although it's not jade, the red and white parts are quite unique. It should be worth some money. I have a relative in the county who can help you inquire about it."

Duan Xiaoxi was quite excited when she heard this: "Okay, He Zhiqing, thank you for your help. Can we not tell Brother Zhang about this yet? Let's see how much it can sell for. I'll tell her after we get the money."

"Okay, I'll take this to my relative's house first when I go out in a bit, and ask around for you."

"good."

Duan Xiaoxi trusted He Wan. After leaving the bathhouse, He Wan asked Duan Xiaoxi to wait for her and Zhang Deping there while she carried the bamboo house to the school to see Zhang Cuicao.

When they arrived at the gate, they found out that the students were in class. They asked the gatekeeper to leave two apples for Zhang Cuicao and then left.

After wandering around the area for a while, he turned around and went back to the bathhouse.

Zhang Deping was already there.

Duan Xiaoxi was very excited to see her, but because Zhang Deping was there, the two could only communicate with their eyes.

After leaving the bathhouse, He Wan asked Zhang Deping about his family situation.

Zhang Deping said with a smile, "My family has no objections. They know I'm not young anymore, and I can't go back now. They've also given up on the idea of ​​me waiting. They just asked me what the woman's family thinks of me."

At this point, Zhang Deping scratched his head sheepishly and said, "I only said that he's a nice person. The village chief and the Party Secretary here acted as matchmakers. We'll take a picture of them together in a while and let them see it."

He Wan understood Zhang Deping's concerns. That's a good way of putting it, as long as the two of them are happy.

The woman's side has also severed ties with relatives, so there's less contact and fewer problems.

"My parents said they'd send me some money and a pair of blankets as a wedding gift. No one can come back from home right now, so even if they did, it's freezing cold here. If it snows heavily, we might get stuck here."

He Wan nodded in agreement. Although it was a big deal, the season didn't allow it, and the weather was gloomy today.

Looks like another blizzard is on the way.

Duan Xiaoxi, who was standing to the side, kept quiet until they arrived at the educated youth settlement before quietly asking He Wan.

He Wan took out her agate and gave it to her, saying, "My uncle's neighbor said that it's not of very good quality, but it's valuable because of its unique design. He likes it very much and said he can give it two hundred yuan, plus fifty catties of grain and five feet of cloth."

I figured since he said it so easily, there must be room for negotiation. So, take this back first, and I'll ask about it another day.

"How much? My God, this broken stone can actually sell for so much money. He Zhiqing, just help me sell it. Two hundred it is fine. Don't let him change his mind in a few days."

Duan Xiaoxi had never seen so much money in her life. Although it couldn't buy 500 jin of grain, it was still a lot. She was willing to work with Brother Zhang to pay off the rest.
