After knocking on the door, the uncle saw that it was him, with tears in his eyes, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time, and said: "You are finally here."
He Wan was a little confused. How could a man in his thirties or forties burst into tears so easily? "Uncle, you haven't had your period for only two months, have you run out of food?"
"No."
He Wan paused as she entered and said, "Do you still want food this time? If not, I'll leave first."
"Yes, yes. As long as you like my things, you can give them to me." The uncle had a slight smile on his face when he spoke.
He Wan finally understood that this man was bored staying at home all day and no one talked to him.
When she heard him say this, she followed him in. After closing the door, she asked in confusion, "Uncle, are the things in the basket in your backyard all passed down from your ancestors?"
He Wan saw that he was just walking inside without replying to him, and she was unsure of what he was thinking.
She is not a greedy person. If the uncle knew about this, it would be fine. If he doesn't know and sells it to her as junk, it will be too late for her to regret it later.
She was wondering whether she should kindly remind him.
In a moment, the two of them arrived at the backyard. The uncle didn't say what he wanted. He pointed at the basket and said nothing more.
He Wan put down the basket on her back and said, "Uncle, what do you want this time?"
"All right."
"Well, I see that you are alone and it is not very convenient for me to cook. How about I give you some noodles, a few pounds of pork, and two bags of brown sugar, a bag of noodles, a bag of rice, and a hundred yuan, and some coupons for daily use."
He Wan finished her words and didn't see his response, so she assumed that he agreed.
Then she squatted down and began to pick up the porcelains, but some were too big and some had broken eaves. She searched around and found a plate with a beautiful glaze. Then, not wanting to take advantage of the uncle, she took out a copper sheet from the bottom, which had some complicated patterns on it and was also very beautiful. She turned around and was about to talk to him when she saw the uncle staring at the copper sheet with his black eyes.
He Wan suddenly realized that this uncle knew the value of these bottles and jars.
He looked down at the copper piece in his hand, thinking it couldn't be very expensive. Just as he was about to put it in, the uncle said, "Take it away. It will only gather dust here."
At this moment, He Wan didn't need to go back to ask Bai Muyin to identify it, she knew that this copper piece was very valuable: "Uncle, do you want anything else? I have everything we eat every day."
The uncle looked at her and smiled, "Just fill your stomach. Come here often in the future."
"Uncle, is there no one here to chat with you?"
The uncle nodded. Perhaps it was because during this period of time, He Wan was the only one willing to talk to him.
He has seldom gone out in the past two years. If he didn't have a bird at home to talk to him, he probably wouldn't know what to say.
Seeing that he was wearing the same old clothes from the last time he came, he said, "I have some fabrics here. Do you want me to give you some?"
The uncle shook his head: "I'm fine this way."
"Uncle, this is my second time here. I don't know your last name. Let me introduce myself. My last name is He. You can call me Brother He."
The uncle looked up, met her eyes and said, "You are a lesbian."
He Wan was startled and quickly picked up her backpack and became alert.
The uncle was afraid that He Wan would leave, so he hurriedly said, "My last name is Xu, and my given name is Yan. I won't tell anyone."
