Chu Min put away all his things before looking at Chu Tian again, "Little brother, where are the things you put away?"

Chu Tian sat on the edge of the kang, looked at Chu Min and smiled, "I sent it to the freight yard at the train station."

His harvest today was not bad. Although he did not receive any blue and white porcelain, he received quite a few products from the official kilns and Ru kilns, which were quite good ancient porcelains. He also received several snuff bottles, ivory pipes, and a pair of gorgeous-looking gold crowns that were said to be inherited from his ancestors.

Finally, he spent one dollar at a second-hand goods market in Beijing and bought a lot of things that he couldn't tell what they were, but he could tell at a glance that they were ancient books and calligraphy and paintings.

"Have you contacted the other party?"

"Yes, I've contacted them. The price is one yuan more expensive than one thousand kilograms in Sichuan Province."

"Only one dollar? That's not much. I thought this was the capital, so the price would be much higher!"

Chu Min originally thought that this place would definitely be a few dollars more expensive, but he didn't expect it to be only one dollar more expensive...

Chu Tian inexplicably felt a little guilty. After thinking for a moment, he quickly said, "Second brother, when I was having dinner at a state-owned restaurant in the city today, I heard that they would be serving roast duck tomorrow. I ordered two today. How about it? I'll treat you to roast duck tomorrow night?"

Chu Min waved his hand, "How can I let you treat me? Brother treats you!"

"No, no, I'll treat you! I've already paid the bill!"

Chu Tian grinned and thought that since he had earned Chu Min's money, he could treat him to some Beijing's specialty roast duck, which would be considered as paying him back the money he spent on transporting the supplies, and he wouldn't feel so guilty about it.

"Okay, then I'll take advantage of you!"

After thinking about it, Chu Min didn't continue to give in. After all, Chu Tian really didn't need the money for a meal. His assets were much more than his. Although he hadn't calculated it specifically, Chu Min could guess that Chu Tian's family savings must be at least two or three times that of his own.

Meanwhile, Li Jianmin, who was also in Beijing, was saying to Yao Xiuli, "Xiuli, when my second brother and I went to the hospital to see Grandpa this afternoon, I heard that the city's state-owned restaurant was serving roast duck tomorrow night. Didn't you get enough last time we went? My second brother and I ordered three today. Let's go as a family tomorrow night, shall we?"

Yao Xiuli was shocked. "Three? Each one costs ten yuan, and you ordered three?"

Li Jianmin smiled and said, "It's only thirty yuan, it's nothing. As long as my family enjoys the meal, that's all that matters."

After a pause, he continued, "Grandpa's health has been getting better recently, and he can eat meals now. He used to love roast duck, and when he heard my second brother and I order three today, he said he wanted to eat with us."

Hearing that Grandpa wanted to eat too, Yao Xiuli didn't think the order was too much. "Well, then shall we go pick up Grandpa tomorrow afternoon?"

Li Jianmin waved his hand. "No need. I've already made an appointment with the hospital attendant today. He will bring Grandpa back tomorrow afternoon to stay for a few days."

Yao Xiuli was stunned. "How many days? Is that okay if the doctor isn't here?"

Li Jianmin took the dishonest girl from her arms and smiled, "It's OK. The hospital will send a nurse to accompany you, and my father's health worker will live in our compound. If there is anything, just call and they will come in a few minutes."

"Grandpa thinks we are leaving soon and wants to see us more..."

To be honest, his grandfather was critically ill and was on the verge of dying. The three brothers Li Jianmin came back with their wives and children, thinking that they would not be able to see the old man for the last time. However, who could have thought that the old man, who had been relying on nutrient solution to maintain his vital signs, would get better and better after seeing the whole family come back?

Yao Xiuli nodded silently after hearing this, and after a while, she asked tentatively, "Jianmin, if you hadn't married me, would your parents have been able to get you back?"

Li Jianmin laughed and shook his head, "Even if you weren't here, Dad wouldn't have used his position to transfer me back to Beijing."

Yao Xiuli was puzzled, "Why?"

Li Jianmin put his daughter, who was restless, on the ground and pulled Yao Xiuli to his side, patiently explaining, "You have to know that just because Dad sits in this position doesn't mean he can rest easy. I don't know how many people in the dark want to find Dad's mistakes so they can use them to bring him down..."

After listening to what Li Jianmin said, Yao Xiuli looked into Li Jianmin's eyes, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Does that mean you won't be able to come back in the future?"

Li Jianmin's eyes curved. He put his arm around Yao Xiuli's shoulders and said jokingly, "If you don't want to come back, then don't come back. Anyway, I have a wife and children and a warm bed. Wherever you and your daughter are, that's my home!"

Yao Xiuli smiled when she heard that. She patted his chest gently and said coquettishly, "Be serious!"

Li Jianmin grabbed her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it, then promised earnestly, "Xiu Li, I'm not kidding. If there's a chance to come back, I will definitely come back, but the prerequisite is that you and the child can come back with me. If you can't come back, then I won't come back!"

"I won't abandon you and Huaiyu just to go back to the city!"

"Jianmin, thank you..."

Yao Xiuli's heart warmed and her eyes slowly turned red. Since she came to Beijing, except for Li Zhizhi, Li's father and mother, her two brothers and sisters-in-law, and her eldest sister and brother-in-law have always been very warm to her and have never treated her coldly.

However, she was just feeling inferior, feeling that she was not worthy of Li Jianmin, especially when it came to the girl named Song Qingqing whom she often met in the compound. She always looked down on her every time she saw her. Then she heard that Song Qingqing and Li Jianmin were childhood sweethearts, and that if it weren't for her, he would definitely marry Song Qingqing. This made her feel even more insecure...

"Xiu Li, I know what you're worried about, but don't worry, the thing you're worried about will never happen in your lifetime. Can you believe me?"

Li Jianmin knew Yao Xiuli's recent inner torment, and he would persuade her every time, but she just loved to think too much. What could he do? He could only continue to comfort her and make promises!

Yao Xiuli looked at Li Jianmin's serious expression and couldn't help but burst out laughing. She leaned in close and kissed the corner of his lips, "I believe you."

She just doesn't trust others. Her man is so outstanding, no matter his family conditions or himself, even if Li Jianmin has no idea, it doesn't prevent others from thinking about him...

Li Jianmin saw his wife was so proactive, with deep eyes. Just when he was about to kiss her back, his precious daughter came to him staggeringly and said something in a baby voice.

"Kiss, kiss..."

Upon seeing this, Yao Xiuli picked up her daughter and gave her a deep kiss on her soft little face, "Mommy, is it ok?"

The little girl looked at Yao Xiuli with curved eyes, then turned to look at Li Jianmin.

Although his daughter interrupted his communication to deepen his relationship with his wife, Li Jianmin's heart softened instantly when he saw her cute appearance. He leaned over and kissed her on the face, which made the little girl clap her hands happily.
