Chapter 141

Xu Xu Damao stole a glance at Su Mei and was instantly hooked.

"This Cao Cao Weiguo really has good luck with women."

Jealous, he took a look at Cao Cao Weiguo, and Xu Xu Damao turned and went home unhappily.

Seeing Lou Lou Xiaoe cooking porridge in the kitchen, he felt even more unhappy.

Although Lou Lou Xiaoe was fair-skinned and beautiful, she was also a proper beauty.

But after being married for several years, Xu Xu Damao had long since grown tired of her.

Especially since the two had no children, he thought it was Lou Lou Xiaoe who couldn't give birth.

Lou Lou Xiaoe, who had long been full of young lady temper, was dissatisfied.

Seeing the young and beautiful Su Mei, and then looking at Lou Lou Xiaoe, he felt even more annoyed.

"A thing that eats but doesn't lay eggs."

Muttering in a low voice, Xu Xu Damao sat on the chair with a dark face.

Pondering in his heart how he could hook up with the beauty in Cao Cao Weiguo's house.

Cao Cao Weiguo didn't know that Su Mei had attracted the covetousness of many people, and he served the dishes on the table one by one.

After the three sat down, Su Mei ate to her heart's content without any restraint.

"So delicious!"

"Your culinary skills are too great; no wonder you became a deputy director at such a young age."

"Sister-in-law, I really envy you for being able to eat such delicious food every day."

Su Mei praised while eating, which made Cao Cao Weiguo very happy and proud.

This also made Song Song Yulan a bit proud, and she picked food for Su Mei with a face full of smiles.

After dinner, Su Mei leaned against the back of the chair, ignoring her image, and rubbed her round belly.

"So full!"

"Cao Cao Weiguo, you are too bad!"

"Making the food so delicious, how will I have an appetite for other food in the future!"

Hearing Su Mei's words, Cao Cao Weiguo laughed: "If you have no appetite, come to my house; I'll make whatever you want."

These words made Song Song Yulan a bit unhappy, but she didn't show it.

Su Mei, however, was full of joy, looking at Cao Cao Weiguo happily: "That's what you said; I'll come to your house for meals in the future, you can't chase people away."

After tidying up the bowls and chopsticks and chatting for a while, Su Mei stood up to say goodbye.

Seeing that it was pitch black outside, Cao Cao Weiguo was worried about Su Mei's safety.

He took the initiative to offer to send Su Mei back to the Machine Repair Factory dormitory, which made Song Song Yulan a bit unhappy.

It was just that because of Cao Cao Weiguo's face, Song Song Yulan didn't flare up and even sent the two out of the Sihe Academy with a smile.

Qin Village

Cao Cao Weiguo rode his bicycle into the village, preparing to collect some old items from the village.

When drinking with Xu Xu Damao, he learned some situations from Xu Xu Damao.

There is a person in this village named Qin Ye, whose ancestors were wealthy, and there might be good things in his house.

Just happening to have time, he ran over to try his luck.

"Hello, miss, excuse me, may I ask if you know how to get to Qin Ye's house?"

Meeting a pretty and young girl at the entrance of the village, Cao Cao Weiguo stopped his car to ask for directions.

The young girl asked vigilantly: "What are you looking for Uncle Qin Ye for?"

Cao Cao Weiguo smiled and took out his ID: "I am a procurement officer from the Steel Rolling Mill, wanting to collect some things from Qin Ye."

The young girl's eyes brightened: "You are a procurement officer from the Steel Rolling Mill? My name is Qin Qin Jingru, what is your name?"

Qin Qin Jingru!

Hearing the young girl's words, Cao Cao Weiguo couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He didn't expect to meet Qin Qin Jingru ahead of time!

Cao Cao Weiguo, who had come to his senses, said with a smile: "Hello, Comrade Qin Qin Jingru, my name is Cao Cao Weiguo."

Qin Qin Jingru looked at Cao Cao Weiguo: handsome, neatly dressed, and even had a bicycle.

Such conditions made her heart move.

"Qin Ye is my uncle; I'll take you to his house."

"Brother Cao, I have some salted eggs at home, and two chickens; do you want them?"

"Yes."

"As long as the ingredient quality is good, I'll take them all."

"That's great."

Qin Qin Jingru was thinking about marrying into the city just like her cousin.

Now meeting Cao Cao Weiguo, who was young, handsome, and had a good job, she was energized.

She enthusiastically led the way for Cao Cao Weiguo, her little mouth chattering non-stop.

Under Qin Qin Jingru's guidance, Cao Cao Weiguo met Qin Ye, who was a bit hunched.

Qin Ye was in his early forties, but his hair was gray and his face was full of vicissitudes.

Qin Ye's great-grandfather was a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, his grandfather was a bureaucrat in the Republic of China, and his father was a landlord.

After the family fell, he farmed in the village, but he was plagued by illness and had to take medicine every few days.

After meeting Qin Ye, Cao Cao Weiguo chatted for a few sentences and then implicitly mentioned old items.

Qin Ye sent Qin Qin Jingru to the kitchen and took out three old items from a broken box in the inner room.

A cowpea red basin from the Daoguang period.

A blue-ground yellow-colored cloud dragon pattern plate from the Daoguang period.

A bowl with the Eight Immortals celebrating birthday pattern in five colors from the Xianfeng period.

These are all porcelain from the official kiln, all rare and good treasures.

Cao Cao Weiguo couldn't put down the three pieces of porcelain: "Uncle Qin, these three are all good items; name a price."

Qin Ye said reluctantly: "20 Brother Yuan, if you don't think it's expensive, take them away."

According to the current market, this price is definitely a high price.

After all, in this day and age, these things really have no market among the people.

No matter how good the antique porcelain is, it can't fill the stomach; it's not as practical as a few white flour steamed buns.

But for Cao Cao Weiguo, buying three late Qing official kiln pieces for 20 Brother Yuan is definitely picking up a big bargain.

But he still had to pretend; Cao Cao Weiguo gritted his teeth with a pained expression: "Done, just as you said."

Cao Cao Weiguo's reply surprised Qin Ye, and his eyes became strange.

Looking at Cao Cao Weiguo was like looking at a fool.

In the countryside, it is difficult for a strong laborer to save 20 Brother Yuan after working hard for a year.

The bride price for marrying a wife is only 5 or 10 Brother Yuan.

But Cao Cao Weiguo was willing to spend 20 Brother Yuan to buy 3 "useless" pieces of porcelain.

This is simply the behavior of a spendthrift.

But not making money when you can is a bastard; since Cao Cao Weiguo is willing to send him money, he won't push it away.

Although these 3 pieces of porcelain are family heirlooms, they are truly "useless" now.

And keeping them at home is a disaster; being able to sell them for money is a rare good thing.

Cao Cao Weiguo took out 2 "Great Black Ten" banknotes with a pained expression and handed them to Qin Ye.

Qin Ye took out a piece of broken cloth with a face full of joy and handed it to Cao Cao Weiguo to wrap up the porcelain.

After completing the transaction, Qin Ye sent Cao Cao Weiguo out of the door.

Qin Qin Jingru chased after Cao Cao Weiguo and asked: "Brother Cao, what did you buy from my uncle's house?"

Cao Cao Weiguo said casually: "Collected some dried wood ear and dried mushrooms."

Following Qin Qin Jingru to her house, Qin Qin Jingru introduced Cao Cao Weiguo to her parents.

Although Cao Cao Weiguo knew the relationship between Qin Qin Jingru and Qin Qin Huairu, he didn't tell Qin Qin Jingru.

Hearing that Cao Cao Weiguo was a procurement officer and wanted to buy the salted eggs and chickens at home, Qin Qin Jingru's parents enthusiastically brewed tea and poured water.
