Chapter 166 Chapter 166 I’m destined to be rich!
The people selling snacks are not at home at the moment.
Many employees have holidays on Sundays, so there are more people outside than usual, and things sell well, so we always make more money than at other times.
It was naturally impossible to rest, so they went out early.
Mu Zhuo also went out to buy bricks. Comrade Mu Fugui wanted to renovate the kitchen, which the family had discussed two days ago.
There are only two stoves in the kitchen now, which is actually a bit insufficient.
Of course it is no problem for family members to cook for themselves, but we also have to make these snacks. Sometimes we make too much and two pots are a bit too much to handle.
There just happened to be ample space left, so we could build another one outside.
In fact, at the beginning, Comrade Mu Fugui wanted to directly convert the next room into a kitchen, but if he did that, it would be a huge project.
After discussing it, the family felt that it was not necessary for the time being. Selling snacks is not something that needs to be done all day long. If three stoves are not enough in the future, they can consider making changes to the next room.
Right now, in the bedroom.
Mu Mian smiled as if he had picked up a lot of money, with his teeth showing but not his eyes. Strictly speaking, it was really no different from picking up a lot of money.
The old lady poked her head out of the doorway at some point, looking curious, "Is it real?"
Mu Mian nodded vigorously, "Yes, it's true!"
Hehe, after the copper bowl and the bird feeder, she now has a pot. Her fourth brother also has a bottle and a piece of "The Whole Country is Red". Xixi picked up two of them before.
There are so many miscellaneous things in the house, and when they are added up, it makes me happy just thinking about it.
As for antiques from the prosperous times, once development is good, these will all be money.
Yang Youqin didn't know that the young couple had so many things, but a bird feeder and a purple clay teapot alone were enough to make people sigh. She looked at Mu Mian with wonder, "Your luck is really amazing."
You can find real stuff when you go there, which is not something that ordinary people can come across.
Seeing that they hadn't returned to the living room for a long time, Xixi and the others came over curiously. The little girl opened her eyes wide and asked, "Aunt, weren't you talking nonsense yesterday?"
Mu Mian: "Hehe, you're half right, this drum is worthless."
The old lady said: "Isn't this pot more expensive than that bird feeder? It looks a lot bigger than that one!"
Yang Youqin: “It’s several times more expensive.”
But this has nothing to do with size. This type of purple clay teapot is relatively rare.
There are many counterfeits that are imitated later.
As for how much it is worth, Yang Youqin is actually quite conservative.
In the antique business, prices are inherently volatile.
The same item may be worth only one hundred yuan in one person's mind, but one thousand yuan in another person's mind. In addition to the value of the item itself, personal preference also plays a large part.
What Yang Youqin didn't say was that if this purple clay teapot could meet someone who knew the value of it in the future, it would definitely be worth more than a few thousand.
The old lady didn’t know much. Just hearing that it was several times more expensive than a bird feeder was enough to surprise her. She opened and closed her mouth several times, “Oh my goodness.”
Xixi looked puzzled, "What bird feeder?"
Mu Mian: "I found it at a scrapyard. You were only a tiny child then."
Nie Sihui warned, "Don't tell anyone."
Xixi snorted, "I know, I'm not a fool, mom, you don't trust me at all."
Some classmates once asked her how much her grandparents earned every day, but she never told them!
Nie Sihui pinched her daughter's face and said, "I don't trust you. When have I ever left you behind in the family affairs, big or small?"
Xixi laughed and acted coquettishly, "It seems so."
While the mother and daughter were arguing, Mu Mian had already put away the purple clay teapot.
Xinxin and Beibei are still little and didn’t understand what the adults were saying at all. Beibei just came over to join in the fun, but when he saw there was nothing fun to do, he ran back to the living room to watch TV.
Xinxin didn't leave, but the worthless leather hand drum had now become a bench for the little girl.
One side of the leather hand drum is made of solid leather and the other side is made of wood. It is round and just right for small butts to sit on. It is the right size and height. Xinxin likes it very much.
There is a handle next to the leather hand drum that can be held. The little girl said in a baby voice that this is a stool with a tail, just like Eleven has a tail.
Children aged two or three are so cute.
Yang Youqin stayed in Anfeng Hutong until the afternoon before going home.
The next day, the sky became overcast and gloomy. It looked like it was going to rain, and the weather forecast also said it would rain tonight.
In the morning, Mu Mian didn't go out, but was busy fiddling with social media at home.
Nie Sihui went to school to check her grades.
After about an hour, she came back and said that she ranked third in the department in the final exam, which was really good.
In the next two days, the weather became cooler after the rain. Shi Xiaolian and Liu Yan also went to check their results. They were both pretty good, one ranked fifth and the other was above average.
Mu Mian took the exam late, and her results are not out yet.
However, there were many things to do at home, so Mu Mian was not too worried about it. The main reason was that he already had an idea in his mind after the exam. If nothing unexpected happened, it wouldn't be too bad, and it could even be said to be quite good.
On Thursday, the aunt and sister-in-law took Xixi to officially start selling hair bands. This thing can be used as long as the hair can be tied up, and the customer base is quite large, so it sells very well.
In particular, young girls and young lesbians who have begun to appreciate beauty buy the most. After all, they look good and are not particularly expensive, only slightly more expensive than those sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives.
Mu Mian's aesthetics were beyond reproach. Today, the most common words the three heard were...
This one looks good, this one looks good too, what should I do with both? !
Some girls with more pocket money buy all the styles they like, changing one a day, and they can go two weeks without repeating the same one.
After a busy day, Xixi couldn't wait to start counting her money as soon as she got home in the evening.
The result was really shocking. It was only their first day and they earned more than the old couple selling snacks.
Liu Shuangcui's tone was a little surprised, "This little hair band makes so much money, are you sure you counted it right?"
Xixi's mouth was grinning so much that it almost reached the back of her head. "Hehehehehe, grandma, I've counted it twice, there's no mistake! But auntie said that we can only make money for a while, and later we won't be able to sell it anymore."
Mu Mian: "There are still some styles that have not been made. There will be no problem selling them for a few weeks. If they don't sell well, they will not be sold."
By that time, it will be almost time for school to start.
Mu Fugui laughed loudly, "That's not too old!"
It’s no wonder that everyone likes big cities because there are lots of rich people there who are willing to spend money.
A happy night passed. The next morning, Mu Mian did not go to sell hair bands. She packed up her things, carried her bag and went to school to check her grades.
Xinxin also followed along. Both mother and daughter wore goose yellow dresses, which were very eye-catching.
After arriving at school, Mu Mian went straight to the counselor's office. The good thing about being close to the school is that it is convenient for everything. Students from other places who have already returned home can only wait for the school to mail the documents, or ask classmates they have a good relationship with to help check and then call to let them know.
As soon as Mu Mian arrived at the door, he saw that there were already three or four people there.
Mao Shanfang was there too. As soon as she saw Mu Mian, she shouted, "Mu Mian, you're number one. That's amazing!"
Thanks to her, I knew my results before I even entered Mu Mianmen.
Before Mu Mian could say anything, Xin Xin smiled sweetly, "Mom is great!"
The little one looking so serious and giving a thumbs up was so cute that it attracted the attention of many adults.
While Mu Mian was looking at the specific scores for each subject, Mao Shanfang hugged Xinxin in her arms and said with a smile like an aunt, "Xinxin, do you still remember me?"
Mao Shanfang had only asked casually, but the little girl actually gave a positive answer, "Auntie Fangfang~"
Mao Shanfang was surprised, and her eyes widened slightly, "You really remember it!"
Not to mention Mao Shanfang, even Mu Mian, her mother, was a little surprised. You know, Xinxin Long had only met Mao Shanfang once, and that was not long after school started.
Usually someone takes care of the child and she has to go to class, so she seldom brings Xinxin to school.
When they came out of the office, Mao Shanfang was still holding Xinxin in her arms and couldn't let go. The two of them and the child chatted together for a long time until Mu Mian met Li Danqin at the door of the office building.
"I was just thinking of going to Anfeng Hutong to find you later." Li Danqin took three or two steps forward and smiled brightly at Mu Mian.
Mao Shanfang had something else to do and was not familiar with Li Danqin, so she said hello and left.
Li Danqin looked around, then moved closer to Mu Mian.
When Mu Mian saw this, he laughed out loud, "Your uncle said that the things you brought home last time included real stuff?"
Li Danqin said cheerfully, "My uncle said that the jade ruyi is worth this much."
As she spoke, she stretched out a hand.
Five hundred is a lot. She only spent more than thirty yuan on those items.
Li Danqin asked again: "Have you asked anyone to look at your pot and drum?"
Mu Mian nodded, "The drum is not worth much, and as for the pot, the teacher said it is 99% likely."
Li Danqin was beaming with joy, "We are so lucky, let's go together again when we have time."
Mu Mian agreed, "Okay."
Li Danqin: "If you want to sell the purple clay teapot, you can come to me. Let me tell you, my uncle has a friend from Hong Kong who likes this thing very much. He bought one during the Chinese New Year for this amount."
As she said this, she made a scissors hand gesture.
Mu Mian probed, "Two thousand?"
Li Danqin shook her head and whispered, "Add a zero."
Mu Mian took a deep breath. There were indeed many rich people in Hong Kong these days, but she had no intention of selling out at the moment, and she was not short of money for the time being.
The two were still talking when a female classmate passed by and called out, "Danqin, have you checked your grades? How much are they?"
Li Danqin turned her head and said, "Not yet, wait for me, let's go up together."
After Li Danqin left with her classmates, Mu Mian didn't meet any acquaintances along the way and returned home leisurely with Xinxin.
Most of the day passed quickly and it was evening in the blink of an eye.
It was almost seven o'clock when Wen Zhan, who had not been home for nearly half a month, drove back. The jeep had just entered the alley when Xinxin, who heard the noise, rushed out to greet him.
As soon as Wen Zhen got off the car, he was blessed with a well-behaved and sweet daughter.
Xinxin hugged her father's neck and said, "Dad, you haven't been back for a long time. It's been thirteen days. I miss you a little bit."
Wen Chen held the net bag in one hand and held his daughter in the other, pretending to be sad, "Only a little?"
Xinxin immediately stretched out her arms and began to draw circles, "Not just one, there are so many!"
Beibei saw the things in Wenzhe's net bag and came over noisily, "Uncle, I missed you too!"
Although he said this, the little boy's eyes were always fixed on the net bag, which contained the chocolate and big melon that Wen Zhan brought back.
Mu Mian laughed, "Your uncle is not in the net bag, why are you staring at it?"
The little boy scratched his head innocently.
Wen Chen divided the chocolate among the three children.
Mu Mian took a look and said, "I've never seen anything like this before. Where did it come from?"
Wen Chen: “The political commissar gave it to me.”
The old lady shouted from the kitchen, "It's time to eat, come and bring the dishes over."
After dinner, the family took a rest in the yard. Wen Zhan hadn't been home for nearly two weeks and he had missed a lot of things at home.
In the bedroom, Mu Mian took out the purple clay teapot like presenting a treasure, "Ding ding ding ding~ Doesn't it look good?!"
Wen Chen actually had no talent in this area, and he couldn't figure it out, but he knew his wife very well, "Well, of course it looks good when it's glittering."
Mu Mian raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Xinxin was also there at the moment, and the little girl's big eyes were full of confusion, "It's not Jin."
Mu Mian: "Rounded off, it's about the same as gold."
Xinxin didn't quite understand. After listening to her parents' words for a while,
, she slipped down from Wen Chen's arms and went to play with a book beside her.
The couple, who hadn't seen each other for two weeks, had a lot to talk about. It was mainly Mu Mian who was talking, and Wen Zhan didn't have much to say about his work.
The couple had just been chatting for a few minutes when they suddenly heard a "hissing" sound from the side, followed by Xinxin's "ouch".
The couple, who had not been paying attention to their daughter just now, turned their heads at the same time and saw Xinxin stepping on the leather hand drum to reach the chocolate on the table.
The little girl didn't pay attention and stepped on the leather. Her strong little body stepped up and the edge of the leather was directly broken. The little girl couldn't stand steadily, staggered twice, and then sat down on the ground.
The couple quickly stood up, took three or two steps forward and picked up Xinxin.
Wen Chen looked at his daughter's little feet and asked, "Did you scratch your feet?"
The little girl is still wearing sandals.
Xinxin shook her head, "No."
Mu Mian: "Really?"
As she spoke, she lowered her head and stared at the little feet carefully, fearing that there might be some tiny thorns inside.
Xinxin shook her little head again, "My feet don't hurt, the stool is broken~"
Wen Chen: "It's okay. Do you like this? I'll make you a solid one tomorrow."
Mu Mian said seriously, "Next time if you can't get something, just call mom and dad, okay?"
Xinxin raised her little face and showed Mu Mian an innocent and well-behaved smile, "Got it~"
Mu Mian, who used to like smiling at the old couple like this, inexplicably felt like a boomerang pierced her heart, but it didn't matter, her daughter was still very well behaved.
Wen Chen gave the chocolate on the table to Xinxin. Mu Mian picked up the broken leather hand drum casually. She originally wanted to put it aside, but as soon as she picked it up, she found something wrong.
The light bulb was right above the room, and when the light was shone down, I could clearly see that in addition to the torn leather, the small wooden board inside was also a little torn.
The point is, this small wooden board is not that far away from the leather. Logically speaking, the wooden board on the other side can't be that thick.
Mu Mian subconsciously scratched the small wooden board, and then...
A little bit of gold comes into view.
Mu Mian's eyes suddenly widened, "!!!!"
Her heart beat faster, this color was familiar to her! !
Wen Chen saw his daughter-in-law standing there without moving, so he leaned over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Almost at the moment he asked the question, Mu Mian had already picked up another piece of the small wooden board and looked at it more carefully this time.
The middle compartment is neatly inlaid with small yellow croakers, which are close to each other without any gaps.
Now, Wen Zhan’s eyes were as big as copper bells.
Neither the couple spoke. They just stared at each other for a while, then squatted down in tacit understanding and began to count.
Mu Mian tore apart the entire piece of leather and the small wooden board, making it easy to count them. A total of... twenty pieces! !
Small yellow croakers usually weigh about 30 grams, and 20 of them are... more than a pound!
Mu Mian's mouth opened and closed, and his dark pupils seemed to be imprinted with a little golden light.
No wonder! No wonder she felt that the hand drum was quite heavy before. There was more than a pound of gold inlaid in the compartments. It must be very heavy! !
The couple squatted on the ground like mushrooms. Xinxin tried to shout at first, but was automatically blocked by the two.
Xinxin squatted over and asked, "Daddy, what are you doing?"
Wen Chen coughed and said, "Thinking about life."
It seems that his daughter-in-law is really God's beloved daughter. I don't know whether God is satisfied with him as a son-in-law.
Maybe, probably, maybe... I'm satisfied, right?
Xinxin's big eyes were full of question marks, and she looked at Mu Mian with her round eyes.
Mu Mian smiled widely, "Let Mom think about it for a while."
Hahahahahahahahaha, small yellow croakers, ah, small yellow croakers, twenty of them in total! !
From small golden melon seeds to big yellow croaker and then to small yellow croaker, she was born with gold in her life! !
Hehehehehehehehehehe again! I can buy another small yard! !
Mu Mian was still having a great time. After about ten seconds, footsteps were heard outside.
Comrade Mu Fugui poked his head in from the half-open window. He looked at his daughter and son-in-law squatting on the ground with their backs to him and was confused. "What are you doing? No one answered when I called you. The old lady cut some cantaloupe. Come and have some."
The couple came to their senses, but before they could say anything, Xinxin, who was chewing chocolate, responded first.
The little girl imitated Wen Zhuan's previous behavior in a serious manner and said in a hurry: "I'm eating roasted ginseng."
Mu Fugui: “????”
What to eat? ?
