A deep sarcasm flashed across Leng Lie's face.
"So what if it melts away?"
You should say those words to the person who should say them!
Guan Yuxi sighed and said seriously:
"Grandpa Dai, it's not that I'm unwilling to hand over the secret recipe."
But if this secret formula were to be leaked, this treasure could become worthless.
Guan Yuxi has that confidence.
The methods she mastered for forging bronze artifacts.
They can make any old object look so real that it's indistinguishable from the real thing.
Grandpa Dai was slightly moved. "Really?"
Guan Yuxi nodded solemnly, her face full of a confident smile.
"Then, may I invite you to Kyoto?"
Name your price.
Grandpa Dai instantly looked radiant.
He thought of those ancient civilizations, their former glory restored.
Guan Yuxi nodded with a smile, then shook her head. "I will go to Kyoto, but not now."
I also hope you will keep this a secret for me.
Now, you should be thinking about how to successfully transport the Bronze Tree back!
Grandpa Dai's expression also turned serious.
In the past few days, they have clearly sensed that someone is secretly watching them.
They chased after him repeatedly but failed to catch him.
It's currently the busy season for spring plowing, and nobody from the village comes here.
"Don't worry, only Fang Yuan and I know about this."
I will remind him.
Guan Yuxi smiled and took the bag he handed her. "You can always contact me, sir."
We'll give you a discount if you just mention your name.
This means that not only did she agree, she could also repair his small items in the future.
He can bring other people too, it's fine.
Grandpa Dai was overjoyed. "Don't worry, the people I introduce are all trustworthy and discreet."
Guan Yuxi habitually reached out her hand, "It's a pleasure working with you!"
Leng Lie's speed was even faster.
He pulled her fair little hand back and clasped it with Grandpa Dai's big hand.
The large, iron-like hand caused Grandpa Dai's face to contort slightly in pain.
"Xiao Lie, it's settled then, I'll recognize you as my godson."
Leng Lie's expression remained indifferent. "I don't admit it!"
Grandpa Dai took out a jade pendant from his pocket and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Whether you acknowledge me as your godfather or not, I've already decided that you're my godson!"
He ran away as soon as he gave it to Leng Lie, afraid that Leng Lie would return it.
Guan Yuxi: "......"
I've only ever heard of people shamelessly seeking godfathers, godmothers, and godfathers.
This forced adoption of a godson really opened her eyes.
Leng Lie held up the jade pendant and looked at her: "Was it of any help?"
Guan Yuxi chuckled, touched, and said, "Keep it for now, we'll talk about it later."
Leng Lie took her hand. "Husband and wife are one, inseparable."
"good."
Guan Yuxi's eyes welled up with tears, as if she had a thousand words to say, yet she couldn't utter a single one.
She held his hand back and lingered for a long time.
Some things are better left unsaid.
There's no need to say it explicitly.
After a long silence, Leng Lie said in a hoarse voice, "I'm not going back to work."
"Great! I need some manpower here!"
From now on, you'll be following your older sister.
Guan Yuxi was so excited that her whole face was glowing with excitement.
Leng Lie looked into her eyes.
I was relieved to know that she was genuinely happy and not at all forced.
Leng Lie: "......"
elder sister?
If he remembered correctly, he was a full seven years older than her!
"good!"
My principle is that I'm happy when my wife is happy.
Leng Lie nodded in agreement.
Guan Yuxi handed him the money bag, saying, "I'll feel more at ease if you take it."
She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Once we become millionaires, let's have a proper celebration!"
The idea of being a "ten-thousand-yuan household" in the 1970s is incredibly exciting.
Leng Lie looked at her greedy little face and couldn't help but love her.
He pulled her into a hug and said, "We can celebrate tonight."
I still have a thousand yuan left.
ha?
Guan Yuxi's eyes widened in disbelief. "Where did you get the money?"
He only gave her 500 when they got married, and then gave her another 300 or 400 in installments.
This poorest "old bachelor" in the whole village, a "rough man no one dared to marry," is actually so rich?
"You wouldn't be selling yourself..., would you?"
She cautiously looked around.
Even though no one was around, he still didn't dare to say it aloud.
Leng Lie chuckled and shook his head, saying, "No."
Guan Yuxi patted her chest with lingering fear, "That's good."
At this point, it would be unprofitable to sell the ancestral heirlooms.
Secondly, the risk is too great.
If you get caught, you'll go to jail, or even be shot.
It would be even more dangerous if they were targeted by antique dealers.
"What's wrong?"
She noticed him staring intently at her.
Guan Yuxi touched her face, thinking there was something dirty on it.
Leng Lie asked her in a low voice, "Aren't you going to ask me where I got the money?"
He gently ruffled Guan Yuxi's hair, his eyes so tender they seemed to overflow with tears.
Guan Yuxi tilted her head and thought for a moment.
He shook his head.
Leng Lie's gaze dimmed slightly.
"I know that Brother Lie is a sensible person."
That's enough—as long as you never put yourself in danger.
If anything happens, we're husband and wife, we're one, we'll face it together!
Guan Yuxi looked at him with a smile.
She placed her small hand in his large, broad palm, their fingers intertwined, inseparable.
Leng Lie's eyes lit up instantly.
Like a huge beam of fire illuminating the desolate mountains for miles around on a pitch-black winter night.
