Chapter 177 Leisure

Yuan Tingchuan frowned and said, "Is your information accurate? Do you know who he is?"

Du Ruo sighed helplessly.

"I only know that some people call him Mr. John. I guess he should be working in a museum now. What does he look like? I'm not sure how old he is."

In her previous life, she only took a look at the news and didn't pay much attention to it. How could she know so many details?

"Mr. John"? Where can I find him? It seems I have to search for him slowly.

Du Ruo said optimistically, "If I can't find it, then forget it. Maybe if I go to antique markets more often these days, I'll find something that Mr. Charles likes."

The two children held a tray of barbecue and ran over to find their parents, as happy as if they were holding a plate of treasures.

"I baked this one, and Xiaozhe baked that one."

"Yes, yes, the prettier one is the one I baked. The ones you baked are all black."

The two heartless parents looked at each other, and Yuan Tingchuan smiled: "Dad is not hungry, you two can eat."

Du Ruo touched the two children's heads and said with a smile, "Eat less." They will probably have stomach upset soon.

Ling Yun who followed behind was unwilling. The three of them had worked so hard to prepare this food, and now they were giving it away for free, and they were still complaining about throwing it away?

He put his arms around the two children's shoulders, raised his head, and said, "We will eat by ourselves. If they don't want it, forget it."

Three people were sitting aside eating skewers with great interest, while two heartless parents were muttering to themselves.

"Is this okay? Won't we have to take him to the hospital soon?"

"It's nothing. At most, I'll upset my stomach. How can I learn anything without a lesson?"

"What's wrong with your heart? Don't you have a lot of conscience?"

"Do you have a lot?"

The two looked at each other and both had little conscience.

In the middle of the night, the house was brightly lit. Ling Yun and the two kids had stomach upsets, and they took turns going to the bathroom. The two heartless parents sat on the sofa and drank tea.

Yu Min was so anxious that he kept turning around and said to Du Ruo, "Do we need to go to the hospital? Don't let yourself get dehydrated?"

Yuan Tingchuan glanced at his watch and said in a cold tone: "Don't worry, after they took the medicine, the frequency of going to the bathroom has obviously decreased. I'm watching the time, it's okay."

Yu Min looked at the two men with a reproachful look and said, "What's going on? Didn't you stop them?"

Du Ruo waved his hands: "We don't know there's a problem, right? It can't be a sin just because we didn't eat it and didn't get hurt."

Yu Min looked at the two people with suspicion. She now had some understanding of these two people. Did they really not know?

"He's my own son. Could I harm him on purpose?" He just didn't hold back.

Yu Min nodded. This was indeed the truth. The two of them loved their children very much, so it shouldn't be the case.

Ling Yun fell weakly on the sofa, pointed at Du Ruo and said, "Ruoruo, you are so heartless. You knew that the things we baked were not right, but you didn't stop me?"

"You knew what you baked was not right, and you still gave it to me?"

"I don't know?"

“So I don’t know.”

Lingyun...

The two guys came out of the bathroom, lay down beside Ling Yun, and said weakly: "My dad is right, professional things should be done by professionals, let's not grill next time, let's go eat what others have grilled."

Yuan Tingchuan gave the two young guys a teachable look. You see, only when you feel pain can you learn a lesson.

Isn't that clear?

Early the next morning, when Du Ruo and Yuan Tingchuan were planning to go to the antique city, Ling Yun and the two kids were catching up on their sleep. They were sleeping so soundly that they couldn't be woken up even if they were called.

Du Ruo quietly walked to the bedside and touched the two children's heads. Their body temperatures were normal and they were sleeping soundly, so it seemed that nothing was wrong.

She quietly closed the door and made a gesture to Yuan Tingchuan to indicate that nothing was wrong.

Yuan Tingchuan nodded with relief, turned around and walked out, as long as everything was fine.

Du Ruo went to the kitchen and said to Yu Min, "Sister, please prepare some light meals for them. Don't give them porridge or milk. Cook some eggs. It will help with their upset stomachs."

Yu Min nodded: "The eggs are cooked. I'll mix some vegetables. Will you guys come back for lunch?"

Du Ruo shook her head, gestured goodbye, turned around and walked out.

Yuan Tingchuan held the steering wheel with his hands, rubbed his fingertips unconsciously, and then held back without moving.

Du Ruo noticed his action, smiled, took out a candy from her pocket and put it in his mouth.

"Smoke less, we'll have to support each other when we walk in the future."

Yuan Tingchuan smiled. It would be nice to grow old together.

“In troubled times, buy gold; in prosperous times, collect antiques.” Within a year or two, the Antique Street expanded by two more streets, doubling the original area. There were so many bicycles and cars parked on the street that their car could not even get through.

After parking the car at the alley across the street, the two got out and walked slowly across.

There are many more shops on the street, including dozens of snack bars and many small shops. Many people are making phone calls in the telephone booths on the street, and shops selling lighters and cigarettes can be seen everywhere.

It seems that the expansion of Antique Street has also boosted the surrounding economy. However, this place is too messy and will have to be rectified sooner or later.

As soon as the two of them walked into the alley, they saw that the stalls outside had already been set up. There were many idle people shopping here, and most of the items sold here were small items.

There were various Buddhist beads, exquisite lighters, swords, and even itchy claws. Du Ruo was amused. Are these also considered antiques?

Yuan Tingchuan was quite calm. He must have been busy for a while and finally managed to relax. He seemed very leisurely today. He even squatted in front of the stall with interest, picking up small things one by one to look at them.

It was early in the morning, and the young boss was in no hurry to sell anything. He was chewing a piece of biscuit and mumbling, "Brother, if you like any of them, just tell me. I haven't made any profit yet this morning. I'll give you a special price and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Yuan Tingchuan did not answer. He handed a bamboo sculpture in his hand to Du Ruo and said, "Take a look?"

"It doesn't look like the Jinling School of bamboo carving. Is it the Jiading School of bamboo carving? It doesn't look like it either."

"This is the ground-removing relief method, which was created by the descendants of the Jiading School in the Qing Dynasty. It is a kind of shallow relief technique. Its raised parts are relatively shallow, and it is also called thin ground positive text. It is similar to the "ground-reducing method" used in Han Dynasty stone portraits. This kind of relief is quite difficult. The master's craftsmanship is good. I will see it if I have the chance."

In other words, this is a modern work of art. Is the sculptor still alive? But the craftsmanship is very good and the product is quite well made.
