"Mom." The big girl called softly.

"What's wrong, big girl?" Song Qingyun asked sideways.

"Mom, are we just going to take these cloths back like this?" The big girl leaned close to Song Qingyun's ear and said.

Song Qingyun looked at her and motioned for her to continue.

"We are bringing so many things back. If grandma and the others find out, they will definitely make a fuss. The people in the village will also be jealous." The big girl looked at Song Qingyun and felt encouraged, so she expressed her thoughts.

"The girl is really smart. We really need to be careful. Don't show off your wealth. We just moved. Even though we have compensation, we can't be too high-profile." Song Qingyun said.

She looked at Xia Weian.

"When we go back later, we'll get some grass from the roadside and cover these cloths, then use a chest of drawers and waste newspapers to block it so others can't see clearly." Xia Weian said.

"Dad is so awesome." Xiaoliu immediately gave a thumbs up.

Xia Weian couldn't suppress the smile on his lips, "Our Xiaoliu is really sweet. Next time I have candy tickets, I'll buy you some candy."

"Thank you, Dad!" Several children cheered immediately.

The joyful atmosphere was very contagious. Xia Weian and Song Qingyun exchanged glances and the couple smiled at each other.

"Hold on tight, let's go." Xia Weian called out, and the children immediately sat down.

The ox cart soon arrived at the scrap collection station.

Xia Weian tied up the ox cart and went in with Song Qingyun to help him carry the chest of drawers.

"Where is the youngest girl in your family?" the gatekeeper asked immediately when he saw that there were only the couple.

"I'm waiting with my sister over there by the oxcart." Song Qingyun replied. Although she had only met the old man once, she had a hunch that this person was no ordinary person.

"Your chest of drawers is here, you two can carry it out." The old man gave instructions and walked out quickly.

Song Qingyun and Xia Weian immediately carried the chest of drawers and followed him out.

Xiaoqi was now holding the hand of the big girl and standing next to the ox cart.

The old man came forward cheerfully and said, "Little girl, Grandpa has two plates here. Choose one and I'll give it to you."

"Grandpa, I can't just take other people's things." Xiaoqi blinked and said. His mother had taught him these principles.

The old man didn't expect Xiao Qi to be so sensible, and he liked her even more. "I didn't ask for it casually. I have too many plates and was going to throw them away. You just happen to need them, so this way we won't waste them."

"This..." Xiaoqi's little head was a little inadequate, but based on the principle of not wasting information, he nodded.

"These two." The old man took out two plates that looked exactly the same on the surface, and he looked at Xiao Qi nervously.

Xiaoqi took a look and chose the one on the left without hesitation.

"this."

The old man smiled instantly and said, "The girl who got the Tang Sancai and Chicken Bowl directly is definitely not lucky!"

The two in his hands are both Yuan blue and white porcelain, and the fakes are imitations from the Qing Dynasty. It took him a long time to tell them apart, and the little girl only looked at them for a short time!

This little girl is absolutely a genius!

"Tell me why you chose this?" The old man's hands were shaking with excitement.

"This flower is different. I think this one looks better." Xiao Qi raised his hand and pointed at the subtle differences between the two plates.

The older girls also looked curiously at where Xiao Qi was pointing...

They really couldn't see any difference. Could it be that children's eyesight is better?

"Yes!" The old man laughed, "This is for you. What's your name, little girl?"

Xiao Qi held the plate and looked at the old man warily. The old man was laughing and talking all the time, why did he look so crazy?

"Mom, I want to go home."

"Okay." Song Qingyun reached out and picked up Xiao Qi, "Uncle, we'll take the things away."

"Hey." The old man slapped his thigh. He was too anxious and scared his beloved apprentice...

The old man looked at Xia Weian and grabbed his arm. "I have a box here. It's good for me to look at it. Come, I'll show it to you. If you like it, I'll give it to you at a discount."

Xia Weian was directly pulled into the yard by the old man.

"Mom, that grandpa is so enthusiastic." Erniu said.

Song Qingyun's eyes were heavy. The old man was very interested in Xiao Qi. Song Qingyun didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse...

"Your father knows his limits. We pay for everything we take."

Purchase station.

The old man took Xia Weian directly to see the box.

"What do you think? This big box is very practical. It can be used at home to store bedding and clothes." The old man looked at Xia Weian happily.

"It is indeed a good thing, old man. How much is it?" Xia Weian asked. They could use it. It was so big that they could just put the cloth in the box when they went back.

"No money, I think your little girl is good..."

"We won't sell our daughter!" Xia Weian immediately said seriously, and his eyes looked at the old man with much more vigilance.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not a human trafficker, so why would I buy a child? What I mean is that I think she is smart and talented, and I want to take her in as my apprentice." The old man looked at Xia Weian with burning eyes.

"No, Xiaoqi is still young, and we don't know what she wants to do in the future. I won't consider letting her become my disciple for the time being." Xia Weian refused decisively.

The old man felt like a mouthful of blood was stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down. You know, there were so many people in the capital begging to be his disciple!

Now I’ve been rejected by a farmer!

You really don't know what's good for you.

"Old man, I know you must be someone extraordinary. We are just an ordinary farming family. The children in our family are all simple and honest. My mother and I just hope that the children can live a safe life."

"That's very kind of you."

"Box, if you want to sell it, I'll buy it. If not, I'll leave."

"Sell! Give me one dollar." The old man felt pain in his chest, but he could endure it in order to have a good apprentice!

Xia Weian took out a dollar, picked up the box and left.

Old Man: It seems like I’m being chased by a dog… Ugh, I didn’t say I was a dog…

Xia Weian carried the box to the car, and together with Song Qingyun, he put the cloth directly in. There was still some space left, so they put in the books, stationery, daily necessities and the backpack for meat that they had bought.

The ox cart was not very big, and there was not much space left after putting down these two pieces of furniture.

"Please squeeze in and sit down first." Song Qingyun settled the children and sat on the side.

Xia Weian said hello and drove the ox cart back to Qingshan Village.

The old man stood at the door of the scrap collection station, watching from afar, and did not look away until the ox cart disappeared from view. No, this apprentice must be his!

On the way back, Song Qingyun went to the state-owned restaurant and packed ten meat buns.

I originally wanted to take the children to a state-owned restaurant for dinner, but they bought a lot of things, which was not very convenient.

There is a long way to go. This time we will eat meat buns from the state-owned restaurant, and next time we will eat braised pork.
