Chapter 70 Antiques-Back to 18, I became rich by spending money
The four men each took a hoe and a shovel and came to the big tree.
"I'll bury it here, next to the tree. It's easy to remember. Wen Yi, do you want to bury it with me?" Wen Yan pointed to the place she had already chosen and said to the few people.
"Let's bury yours first, and we'll talk about mine later. Let's dig." After saying that, Wen Yi went up and started digging.
"System, you have to watch out. Tell me when you get there, otherwise if you dig it up, I won't have anywhere to cry." Wen Yan said to the system in his heart. This person is not going to hold back. What if he digs it up?
"Grandpa, how deep should we dig?" Wen Yi dug for a while and looked at his grandfather next to him. If he had to dig as deep as him, he would be exhausted to death today.
"This wine is only about three feet long. Just dig up enough to bury it."
"Host! Host! Your father will be able to see it after he finishes digging next time. Don't dig anymore!" The system suddenly spoke.
Wen Yan's face was filled with gloom, and he only spoke after he found it with a hoe.
Wen Yan looked at the pit, and as her father dug a hoe into it, she immediately saw a green corner.
"Wait, wait, stop digging! There's something underneath!" Wen Yan quickly stopped them. Then, he quickly used his hands to throw away the dirt. Soon, the object's entire appearance emerged. Although it was covered in dirt, it was still clear that it was a disc-shaped porcelain vessel.
"What's wrong? What is that? Why is there something buried in the soil?" Wen Mingxiu saw his daughter suddenly stop, and then she started digging around, and then she dug out a bowl?
"Whatever it is, maybe someone who built a house or planted a tree buried it accidentally. Why make such a fuss? It's just a broken bowl. Keep digging. Finish it quickly so we can have dinner soon." Grandpa Wen said disapprovingly. It was normal to dig out a bowl from the soil.
The three people stopped watching. Wen Yi had originally watched with interest, but after hearing what his grandfather said, he lost interest.
Wen Yan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. A broken bowl, this was the 'broken bowl' that cost her all her savings!
Wen Yan carefully put the thing aside, planning to wash the dirt off it later.
After a while, the pit was dug. Grandpa Wen buried the wine himself. If possible, he didn't want to dig it out so soon.
Then a few people restored the pit. After it was back to its original state, Wen Mingxu looked at the place where the wine was buried and made vicious threats.
"Once this wine is buried, it won't be easy to get it out. Dream on marrying my daughter."
Grandpa Wen glanced at him but didn't say anything. He agreed in his heart that their lovely granddaughter would not be deceived so easily.
"My daughter, the most important thing for you now is to study. Don't find a partner. Dad is still young and can support you. None of the men out there are good." Wen Mingxiu became more and more unhappy the more he thought about it. What's the point of burying wine for a son-in-law and marrying him?
Wen Yi also nodded in agreement, "That's right, sister, there are too many scumbags out there now, you must not fall in love, you are beautiful and there is no rush until you are 30 years old, your brother is also able to support you when he grows up."
Wen Yan looked helplessly at the three generations of grandparents in front of her, and suddenly felt a sense of mourning for her future husband. She picked up the bowl and turned to leave. But for some reason, why was Meng Qinghe's face in her mind at this moment? Wen Yan smiled, who knows.
When he got to the kitchen, Yu Qiu saw his daughter coming in with a dirty bowl. Didn’t they go there to bury the wine? What the hell was going on?
"Yanyan, are you done? What are you holding in your hand?" Yu Qiu asked while adding firewood. The stove in his hometown burned wood, and someone needed to watch the fire all the time.
"We were just digging under the tree. Grandpa said it might have been accidentally dropped in by someone who planted the tree before. It looks quite unusual to me, so I want to bring it in and wash it before taking a look." Wen Yan turned on the faucet and carefully picked up the plate to rinse it.
"There are all kinds of things in the ground. Who knows when they were buried there? Just throw them away. They are worthless and can't be used." Grandma said indifferently. It was indeed true.
After Wen Yan cleaned it, the entire porcelain was revealed. The green porcelain body looked no different from ordinary plates. If Wen Yan didn't know, he would never think it was an antique.
"System, are you mistaken? Did we dig the wrong thing? There's nothing on this thing. How could it be an antique? No way." Wen Yan questioned in his heart. It was too ordinary, so ordinary that ordinary people would think it was just an ordinary bowl. They wouldn't think of it as an antique at all.
If the system had any expression, it would definitely roll its eyes. "Host, do you think it's possible to dig up a gorgeous vase or something like that beneath your house? How could something like that appear in your yard? Surely the more inconspicuous it is, the more believable it is?" It actually questioned it, a product of the highest interstellar civilization.
Wen Yan pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly, OKOK, you are right, my vision is too narrow.
But how could Wen Yan tell his family that this looked like an ordinary bowl, but it was actually an antique and could even be sold for a high price? Would they think he was crazy?
After thinking for a while, he took the thing and came close to Yu Qiu and said, "Mom, do you think it's an antique? It was dug out of the ground, so it might be something from ancient times. And it looks like the antiques in my history books. Should we find someone to take a look?"
After hearing what his daughter said, Yu Qiu did not reject her immediately. He picked it up and took a look. It was just an ordinary plate.
Wen Yan watched Yu Qiu's movements nervously, fearing that she would accidentally drop something.
"Yanyan, Mom doesn't think this thing looks like an antique at all. Could you be mistaken? Whose antique looks like this? It's just a bowl. Listen to your grandma and throw it away." Yu Qiu looked left and right, but couldn't help but criticize her daughter. She really couldn't tell that this was an antique.
Grandpa Wen and his companions also came in after burying the wine. After Yu Qiu took a look, he asked Wen Yan to go and see her father.
"Old Wen, your precious daughter has always said that this plate is an antique. Come take a look at it."
"Yanyan, you haven't given up yet. Come, let daddy see the thing." Wen Mingxiu joked to his daughter. There was nothing he could do. Since she said so, he might as well cooperate with her and take a look.
Wen Yan pouted and reminded him to be careful when handing it to him.
Wen Yi also came over to look at it. After studying it for a long time, Wen Yi couldn't help but say, "Sister, this plate is so ugly. I wouldn't want it even if you gave it to me. How can it be an antique? Are you seeing things?"
Wen Yan didn't want to pay attention to him and looked at his father with trusting eyes. "Dad, trust me, I have a hunch that it is an antique. Let's go back and find someone to take a look. What if it is? Then our family might get a windfall."
Wen Mingxiu didn't care at first, but after taking a closer look, he realized that the thing did not feel like a modern gadget. After hearing what his daughter said, he decided to go back and take a look. Maybe it was real.
"Okay, then let's go back tomorrow and find someone to take a look." Wen Mingxiu nodded and said, it's okay to take a look. Since his daughter said so, then let's go.
