Song Yan really wanted to buy a house. When General Shen and Secretary Fang asked Song Yan what reward he wanted, Song Yan said he wanted a house.
I only told Wei Aiguo about this today.
If they find a house, Song Yan thinks it would be great. He'll buy the house they find first, and then buy this half of the yard.
Wei Aiguo just couldn't understand it. If there was a better house to buy, why would he need this half-yard?
Song Yan needed to tell him her wishes. She wanted to buy houses, and not just one. She would buy as many as she found suitable ones. Saving up three or five wouldn't be too few, and seven or eight wouldn't be too many.
Wei Aiguo: "What's the point of having so many houses? We can't possibly live in them all."
Song Yan: "It'll be valuable in the future! We can make money by renting it out!"
Why not buy it?
Okay! Whatever my wife says goes!
Wei Aiguo suddenly remembered something; his wanderings these past few days hadn't been in vain—he had figured out quite a few places. Wei Aiguo had certainly broadened his horizons.
It's that 'ghost ball' that his wife showed him last time. It's much worse than this one, yet it sold for 800 yuan.
The wild ginseng was only a little over ten years old, and it sold for 180 yuan.
"Xiao Yan, get me two ginseng roots, but not too old."
"What do you need this for?" Song Yan wasn't unwilling to give it to him, but she didn't want Wei Aiguo to do it. His identity couldn't be tainted in any way.
Seeing Song Yan's nervous expression, he knew what his wife was thinking. "Don't worry! If I can't even hide this little bit of my whereabouts, how can I save my life when I'm on a mission?" Wei Aiguo ruffled Song Yan's hair again.
"I'm not a child, stop rubbing my head." Song Yan slapped his hand away.
Song Yan led Wei Aiguo into the space to get ginseng. "We have plenty of ginseng, no matter what year it is. I'll get you a few, consider it as you going out for fun."
"We don't care about this stuff, we can give it away, you know?" Song Yan meant that if any unexpected situation arises, we shouldn't take the ginseng, and we shouldn't risk our lives for it.
Song Yan was taking out a ginseng that had been stored in a box for thirty years.
Wei Aiguo was looking at the few things Song Yan had piled on the ground outside the box. "Xiao Yan, why are you just leaving such good things lying around like that?"
Song Yan said nonchalantly, "These items are basically just extras; they have flaws and are quite bad."
"How could that be? I've been out and about these past few days and seen quite a few things. Even though I'm not an expert, I know that yours is much better than other people's." As he spoke, Wei Aiguo handed a jade bracelet to Song Yan.
This jade bracelet is made of Hetian jade. Because of a very obvious crack, it wasn't even charged at the time. Who would want a bracelet like that? Song Yan just threw it on the ground.
Even a layman would think this bracelet is incredibly beautiful. The original cracks and discoloration are gone. It's top-quality mutton-fat jade, with a translucent and lustrous texture.
Song Yan had heard that the luster of top-quality mutton-fat jade had a flowing quality. She felt it as soon as she gently turned the bracelet.
Song Yan was sure she remembered correctly. She immediately went to look through her other jade pieces.
Of course, not all of these jade items were of the highest quality. Song Yan thought they were inexpensive and quite beautiful, so she bought them on a whim.
Looking at it now, it's all different from what it was back then. "If I remember correctly, I'm sure I remember correctly, this bracelet had impurities and cracks back then."
Look at this bonsai. It's just ordinary jade, the quality is so-so, but I like the carving.
Look at it again now, it's crystal clear.
Wei Aiguo was a little skeptical. Could it be that jade would get better the longer it was stored? "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Song Yan shook his head: "Don't say I remembered wrong. Look at these jade pieces. Even if I'm not an expert, I know they're all top-quality jade. Don't you think they're all very beautiful?"
Can I only collect top-quality products?
Look at this jade bracelet, it's so green it's like a pool of water.
The bracelet in Song Yan's hand was so beautiful; its luster, color, and jade-like texture were breathtaking as she turned it.
Wei Aiguo: "If I remember correctly, how did these things end up like this?"
"It's probably because there's a spiritual energy here, which can nurture jade."
"I'll buy some jade-like items sometime and try them out in my spatial storage." Song Yan was so excited!
“Then I’ll buy it when I’m out for a stroll,” Wei Aiguo said.
"Can you find a place that sells antiques?" Song Yan asked.
“There used to be a secondhand market a few streets away. Back when things were stricter, there were hardly any people there. Now that nobody really cares, more and more people are gathering there.” Wei Aiguo has been there many times.
If he doesn't wander around, how can he find ways to make money?
Song Yan knew that the environment would definitely become more relaxed in the future. However, there would still be occasional arrests.
"Is it safe for you to wander around there?" Song Yan asked.
Wei Aiguo: "We definitely can't go on like this. Do you still want to keep this bracelet?"
Song Yan had quite a few jade bracelets, each one incredibly beautiful now. She definitely couldn't wear them all. "If you want to take these things with you, go ahead. But safety first."
Wei Aiguo couldn't help but kiss his wife. He'd really learned a lot these past few days; most of the things his wife had were probably quite valuable, yet she spoke so casually, as if she were giving him cabbages and radishes. Only he could make his wife so generous.
Song Yan was still worried: "We're just going there for fun, so you have to be careful!"
Wei Aiguo hugged his wife and said, "There haven't been any official documents issued from above, but I feel the wind is shifting."
Song Yan nodded. Wei Aiguo's intuition was very accurate!
Wei Aiguo put the bracelet in his pocket.
Wei Aiguo didn't think buying and selling these things was a big deal; they weren't stolen or robbed. Now that the policies had loosened, he figured he might as well take advantage of the time to go out and travel!
He did many things like that over the years. He spent a lot of money when his father was sick. Later, he spent money building a house and when his older brother got married.
Back then, it was all his older brother who did these things with him, and that's how they earned the money!
When his elder brother and sister-in-law passed away, he spent a lot of money to buy them expensive coffins. His mother said it wasn't necessary.
He didn't think so. There weren't many things he could do for his brother anymore.
Wei Aiguo wiped his face, deciding to stop thinking about those things.
…
Song Yan had a really great weekend.
Her life was practically a guaranteed win. She just collected jade with impurities every day, nurtured it in her spatial storage, and then sold it. She could live a carefree life.
Song Yan: However, I, Song Yan, am a fine young man with ideals and aspirations.
As Song Yan entered the school, he praised himself in his heart.
At the end of the semester, Song Yan will have to prove himself through his grades.
Song Yan couldn't help but smile during class.
