Chen Wu also felt itchy in her heart. Ever since Manman came into being, both of them had been much more restrained than before.

But the little guy was in good spirits today and didn't fall asleep until almost ten o'clock.

Chen Wu was originally itching, but late at night, her nails dug into the man's flesh: "Are you crazy today?"

"Aren't you dissatisfied with my previous performance?"

Shen Wu felt deeply wronged. Sweat dripped down her forehead, and a trace of confusion flashed across her misty eyes: "When was I dissatisfied?"

I don't know how this guy has so much energy.

How could she not be satisfied? She was extremely satisfied.

Lu Xuan whispered in her ear: "That tea is... for kidney nourishment."

Kidney-tonifying...Kidney-tonifying...

Chen Wu kept repeating these words in her mind, and she squeezed out a voice from between her teeth: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"I did."

"When did you say that?"

As Chen Wu spoke, she thought of a beautiful afternoon, when the sun was shining brightly. Lu Xuan was washing Manman's diapers, and she went over with the herbs...

What did he say at that time?

That thing has a local name...

When Chen Wu finally fell asleep from exhaustion, she experienced the meaning of the local name firsthand.

There are wrong names, but there are no wrong nicknames.

*

Before the New Year, Lu Xuan and Lu Ye went to break ice and catch fish again. They also found some forest frogs and pheasants on the mountain, and sent some of them to Lu Qing.

Part of it was sent to Su Liuzhi in the county town.

It was winter and things were not likely to spoil easily, so the two of them sneaked over, gave Su Liuzhi the money, and rode back immediately.

But this day was a little different.

Lu Ye's face was covered with only his eyes left. When he saw a hunched body, his eyes widened and looked at Lu Xuan: "Brother, is that Dad?"

As he spoke, he noticed that his third brother was staring in that direction.

Lu Xuan nodded slightly: "It's him."

Lu Ye didn't understand what his father was doing here, but he soon understood. He saw the old man take out a vase from the package behind him.

However, most people who come to the black market are here to buy food and daily necessities. This kind of vase is not food or drink, nor is it meat, let alone industrial products like watches. Even if someone sees it, not many people will buy it.

If it was an heirloom bowl, it would probably be more practical than this vase.

Shivering with cold in the middle of the night, Old Man Lu cursed in his heart that the damn eunuch didn't even know how to give him good things. If it was some gold, he wouldn't have to worry about it.

He himself felt that this vase was not fit for eating or drinking.

In the end, there was no other way. If he continued to freeze, he would die. The old man took the bottle and went to find Su Liuzhi.

"This thing is worthless."

"From the palace?"

Su Liuzhi took it and played with it for a while: "It doesn't matter where it came from. Besides, who knows if it's real or fake? You have to come up with it. Eight dollars. If you come up with it, I'll pay you. If not, forget it."

That damn eunuch said it was worth a thousand gold, but it was only eight dollars. He was just kidding him.

Old Man Lu said, "No, you have to pay thirty yuan."

The two of them argued and finally settled on fifteen yuan. Old Man Lu felt that it was too little, but he had no choice but to sell it because the eldest brother and his family kept pestering them to get back the money they had given out.

As for the fifth brother, he took money every day to continue the Lu family's lineage, and wanted to get money from the old couple.

And four screaming mouths...

Old Man Lu was hanging his head as he took the money and left. If only the third and fourth brothers were here, their lives would be much better...

Wait until Old Man Lu walks away.

Lu Xuan came out and walked towards Su Liuzhi: "What did that old man just sell?"

Su Liuzhi also knew that he was a regular customer. He not only bought a lot of things, but also sold a lot of things. Sometimes he could even get industrial products. Naturally, his attitude towards Lu Xuan and the others was better. He took the bottle and said, "Here, this bottle."

"Looks like an old guy."

Lu Xuan took it and looked at it.

Su Liuzhi smiled, showing his interest: "You want it? I just received fifteen. We have a good relationship, so you can give me twenty-five."

"This thing is not available to ordinary people. Ninety percent of it really came from the palace. The price is not high. There are people who specialize in buying these old things. If I turn around, it will cost at least fifty yuan."

Lu Ye couldn't help but say, "We just heard it. You said this thing came out of the palace, right? It's worthless. Giving it fifteen is just kindness... This thing is not suitable for eating or drinking..."

Lu Ye spilled the beans about what he had just said to Old Man Lu.

Su Liuzhi smiled awkwardly after hearing what Lu Ye said. He wasn't embarrassed at all. Those who could stay here for a long time were both capable and shameless. "Then, brothers, what price do you want to offer?"

Lu Xuan said: "Sixteen, that's what my wife likes, I bought it for her to put wild flowers in."

After a struggle, the two of them won it for 18 yuan.

As they were leaving, Lu Ye said, "Could this thing be that dead eunuch's? After the dead eunuch got into trouble, Dad was afraid of being implicated, so he said he would return all the things to him, didn't he?"

Lu Xuan sneered: "You believe it too?"

Lu Ye: "I believe it."

Lu Xuan was silent.

My brain is really burnt out.

When Lu Xuan entered the room, he brought with him a chill. Shen Wu happened to be up feeding Manman and was not asleep either. When she saw Lu Xuan, she was curious: "How much did it sell for?"

"And I paid for it."

Shen Wu was surprised. Lu Xuan never did business at a loss. She was curious: "Why did he lose money?"

"If I lose, I lose. There's no such thing as a guaranteed profit in business. We still have enough money at home to spend."

Which bottle did Lu Xuan take out?

Chen Wu's eyes widened at the long-necked bottle with red glaze.

The reason why she could say this name was because Xu Yin once took her to an auction where they saw an identical bottle. She didn't know if it was the same model, but that bottle was sold at a sky-high price.

"Is this what you mean by paying compensation?"

Shen Wu said.

Lu Xuan said: "It would be a loss to keep it here. It's not good for food and drink, but it looks good. I think you will like it."

"Originally, the old man had a lot of bottles and jars, but they were all smashed a few years ago. The ones I took were not smashed, but there were no large bottles like these. They were all made of gold and jade."

…

Chen Wu looked at the bottle. Lu Xuan was right. She really liked it. She liked it whether it was real or not. It would look good as a decoration. She would show it to Xu Yin tomorrow.

On the other hand.

Old man Lu was shivering with cold and crawled into bed. He took a few puffs of his cigarette while lying on the bed, looking very worried.

The child was choked and cried.

The eldest and second grandsons slept with Grandma Lu as soon as they were born. When they heard this, they started crying. Grandma Lu stood up and asked, "What are you smoking in the middle of the night? Didn't you change it into money?"

Old Man Lu took out ten dollars.

Old Mrs. Lu was delighted when she saw this and said, "Why are you still looking so sad now that you got the money?" She lowered her head and counted the money happily.

This thing was obtained for nothing, and Old Man Lu felt very uncomfortable. He always felt that he should not live to this point...
