In September, the twins entered the first grade and Dongdong went to junior high school.

Qiu Shushen suddenly felt free.

She puts most of her energy into her children. Once the children go to school in the city, they spend less time at home every day, and Qiu Shushen suddenly feels a little empty.

She said to An Hua, "I want to go back to the provincial capital."

An Hua was stunned, "Why do you suddenly want to go back to the provincial capital?"

Qiu Shushen sighed, "I have lived in Yun County for so many years, and I miss home a little."

Although her daughter and son-in-law treated her very well and this was her first home, in Qiu Shushen's heart, only the house she and An Bohuai lived in the provincial capital was her own home.

An Hua pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you go back and take a look, stay for a few days and then come back to Yun County? I was thinking that the children have been accustomed to you being around since they were young, and they will definitely be reluctant to leave."

In fact, Yau Shu-shen also couldn't bear to part with Dong Dong and the twins.

Just when Qiu Shushen was hesitating, An Bohuai came over, holding something in his hand, covered with a piece of cloth.

When they got home, An Bohuai put the thing on the table, lifted the cloth, and said excitedly: "Hanhuan, come and see, guess what this is?"

An Hua walked around the table and looked at it carefully. It should be a bronze pot, the size of a pot, round and open, with three legs and two handles.

"Dad, this is a bronze gui? Where did you get it from?"

Gui is a food container used in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and is also a ceremonial container.

An Bohuai put one hand behind his back and stroked his beard with the other, looking quite proud. "This is not an ordinary bronze gui. There are 58 inscriptions on the bottom of its belly. According to my guess, it should be from the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty. I bought this from a farmer and only paid 60 kilograms of food coupons for it."

An Hua looked at the inconspicuous bronze bell again and asked doubtfully, "Dad, is it really from the Western Zhou Dynasty? Not from last week?"

An Bohuai was angry at his daughter's doubts, "You can doubt my courage, but you can't doubt my vision!"

In the first two years after the movement began, An Bohuai had been staying in a small courtyard in the county town, which made him feel suffocated. In the past two years, when the situation stabilized, he began to travel around and visited all the scenic spots and historical sites in Yun County.

A few days ago, he suddenly had the urge to go to the countryside and saw this bronze gui placed next to a farmer's yard. A two or three-year-old child was peeing in it.

He immediately realized that this thing was unusual, so he stopped to observe it, and then asked the farmer about its origin.

The farmer is in his sixties. He said that this thing has been at home since he can remember, and his father used it to hold silver dollars.

An Bohuai immediately offered to buy it.

The farmer was also a smart man. When he saw that An Bohuai wanted to buy his grandson's urinal, he knew that this urinal must have a history.

The farmer remembered that his grandfather said that this thing was owned by his grandfather when he was a child. So by that calculation, it must be from the Daoguang period at least. It is an old item!

The farmer decided to ask for a high price and asked An Bohuai for 60 kilograms of food coupons.

Sixty kilograms of food coupons were equivalent to two months' supply for city dwellers, which was a lot in the eyes of farmers. Besides, the farmers felt that the Daoguang period was not far away and the things were not worth much.

Unexpectedly, An Bohuai agreed readily.

The farmer felt that he would get less, but the words had been spoken, and he had no right to raise the price any further.

Just like that, An Bohuai used 60 kilograms of food coupons to buy this gui.

"...From what I observed, it should have a lid, but the farmer said he had never seen one... What a pity, there might be an inscription on the lid as well."

An Hua asked with concern: "Dad, how much is this thing worth?"

An Bohuai: "Vague! The historical value of the inscription on it cannot be measured by money!"

An Hua moved closer, wanting to take a look at the inscription on the bottom of the abdomen, but was overwhelmed by the smell of urine.

An Bohuai said quickly, "The farmer's grandson used it as a urinal. I washed it once, but it may not be clean. If you think it's dirty, don't touch it."

Qiu Shushen said disdainfully: "If it's a urinal, don't put it on the dining table!"

An Bohuai picked up the Gui awkwardly, treating it as a treasure and not putting it on the ground.

He said, "I've decided. Next time I'll go to the countryside more often, just in case I run into something weird again!"

Qiu Shushen said: "I'm still thinking about whether to go back to the provincial capital."

An Bohuai shook his head. "No, no, stay for a while. Do you want to go back?"

Qiu Shushen: "If that's the case, then I won't reply."

An Bohuai smiled and said, "Madam is the best."

Qiu Shushen glared at him.

An Hua was very interested in collecting antiques and said, "Dad, take me with you when you go to the countryside."

An Bohuai readily agreed.

From then on, An Hua really followed An Bohuai everywhere. In addition to going to the countryside, they also went to places like scrap yards. Although they didn't find anything too precious, the father and daughter still felt like they were digging for treasure and enjoyed it.

An Hua did not put the things she had collected during this period into a space, but placed them in the cellar in the backyard. Only the bronze gui was held by An Bohuai for research every day, and he even wrote several papers on it.

Xiao Chen didn't understand her behavior. "What's the use of those four old things? They shouldn't be eaten or drunk."

An Hua said: "The gold is piled high and the antiques are piled high. When they are piled high, you will know their value."

Even if what she and Amber Huai found were just ordinary antiques, their value would increase many times in the future due to their extremely low cost. Of course, it is An Hua who cares about the value of money, while An Bohuai loves purely for interest.
