Chapter 1528
"Jiji!"
Just as Cao Weiguo was playing with the national treasure family, a group of large monkeys jumped over, standing in the trees and throwing fruit at Cao Weiguo.
This group of Emei Mountain monkeys had been caught by Cao Weiguo, and they ate and drank for free without being restless, which made Cao Weiguo teach them a lesson several times. But this group of monkeys was used to being wild and remembered the eating but not the beating. They had only been honest for a few days before they returned to their old ways.
"Ji! Zhizhi!"
But whose territory was this?
Cao Weiguo waved his right hand, and an invisible force flipped over the dozen or so mischievous monkeys, causing them to fall from the trees like dumplings, scaring them into fleeing in all directions.
With Cao Weiguo's repeated business trips, his private zoo had begun to take shape. Not only did he have tigers, sika deer, roe deer, yellow sheep, red-crowned cranes, pheasants, wild boars, chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, swans, toads... and other birds and beasts, but now he had also added rare animals such as pandas, monkeys, black bears, and pangolins.
If there was an opportunity in the future, Cao Weiguo also wanted to go to the African grasslands to invite lions, giraffes, rhinoceroses, and elephants to settle down and multiply.
After playing with Qiuqiu's family for a while, Cao Weiguo went to the wooden house, took some local specialties brought back from Sichuan, then left the farm, rode his bicycle, and headed toward Dongli Village under the summer sun.
By the time he arrived, he was covered in sweat, and his shirt was soaked through. If he hadn't been practicing martial arts for years to strengthen his body, he might have collapsed on the road.
"Ah!"
Cao Weiguo pushed open the gate and walked into the courtyard carrying his things. A crisp exclamation suddenly rang out, and Cao Weiguo was instantly stunned by the scene before him.
Before him was Cheng Xin, who was wiping her body by the water well. At this moment, the beauty had no cloth on her body, and in broad daylight, Cao Weiguo saw everything at a glance.
A body full of youthful vitality, dark and shiny hair clinging to her skin, snow-white round balls hurriedly covered by Cheng Xin's hands, a flat, smooth belly without any fat, and the other part covered by her other hand...
Cao Weiguo had originally been dizzy from the heat, but after seeing this scene, he felt even more feverish all over, as if he had been thrown into a furnace and roasted.
"Brother Weiguo... turn around quickly..."
Cheng Xin was almost crying with anxiety, wanting to turn around but afraid of being seen by Cao Weiguo from the other side.
"I'm sorry!"
Hearing Cheng Xin's pleading with a crying tone, Cao Weiguo's mind cleared, and he turned around reluctantly.
Seeing Cao Weiguo turn around, Cheng Xin picked up her clothes and fled back into the house. After a long while, she came out step by step with a blushing face and her head lowered, feeling shy.
Cao Weiguo said with a face full of guilt, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I didn't know you were here."
Cheng Xin shook her head and said shyly in a mosquito-like voice, "I, I know you didn't mean to, Brother Weiguo."
Early this morning, she had gone to work in the fields, covered in sweat from the heat, and with mud sticking to her body, she felt so uncomfortable that she closed the door to take a shower as soon as she got home. Who would have thought that Cao Weiguo would suddenly come over at noon?
Cao Weiguo blushed and smiled bitterly, saying, "You must remember to lock the door in the future."
Cheng Xin's face turned even redder, and she was so shy she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Seeing this, Cao Weiguo shamelessly handed the things to Cheng Xin, "These are local specialties I brought back from my business trip to the Shu region. Take them for you and Cheng Yong to taste."
Cheng Xin blushed as she took the things, lowering her head softly, "Thank you, Brother Weiguo. Come into the house and sit, Brother Weiguo."
Following Cheng Xin into the house, the stuffy environment made both of their faces even redder.
Cheng Xin poured a glass of boiled water for Cao Weiguo, "Brother Weiguo, you came to pick up things this time, right?"
Cao Weiguo nodded, "Yes, I saw your letter when I returned from my business trip, but I was delayed by some things during this time, and I only just found the time to come over recently."
Cheng Xin turned and went into the inner room. When she came out again, there was an extra package in her hand.
"This is!"
The package was opened layer by layer, and a bronze battle-axe with a thick body, square shape, curved blade, decorated with flower stamen reliefs, and delicate beast-face patterns appeared before his eyes, making Cao Weiguo's eyes shine with excitement.
"Good stuff! Good stuff!"
"Cheng Xin, your luck is too good!"
Cao Weiguo picked up the bronze battle-axe with a face full of surprise, gently stroking the patterns on it. The look of love on his face made Cheng Xin secretly happy, "Brother Weiguo, do you like this thing very much?"
Cao Weiguo nodded repeatedly, "I like it, I like it too much. Thank you, you helped me find another good treasure."
Cheng Xin laughed happily, "Brother Weiguo, you are too polite. You have helped me so much, and I am happy to be able to do some things for you."
Carefully re-wrapping the bronze battle-axe, Cao Weiguo took out a stack of money and tickets from his pocket and handed them to Cheng Xin, "Don't refuse, otherwise I won't have the face to ask you for help in the future."
"Yes, thank you, Brother Weiguo."
Cheng Xin blushed as she took the money and tickets. Because of Cao Weiguo, her and her younger brother's lives had undergone earth-shaking changes. They no longer had to worry about eating, nor did they have to worry about money, and her younger brother could go to school happily.
After Cheng Xin put away the money and tickets, she said to Cao Weiguo, "Brother Weiguo, Sister Xiuxia came to find me a while ago and asked me to pass a message to you, saying that she wanted to exchange some old items from her home for some grain tickets with you."
Cao Weiguo's eyes lit up, "Oh, then let's go to Sister Li's house together to take a look."
Cheng Xin nodded, closed the door, and went to Li Xiuxia's house with Cao Weiguo.
"Is Sister Xiuxia at home?"
"Yes, I am."
Hearing Cheng Xin's call, Li Xiuxia hurriedly walked out of the house. Seeing Cao Weiguo, her face lit up with joy.
Cao Weiguo smiled, "Sister Li, long time no see."
Li Xiuxia welcomed him warmly, "Section Chief Cao, you are a rare guest. Please come in, please come in."
Cao Weiguo followed Li Xiuxia into the house, looked around, and asked, "How come I don't see your mother?"
Li Xiuxia laughed, "My mother went to my second uncle's house. Section Chief Cao, sit down, I'll go make you some tea."
Cao Weiguo: "Sister Li, don't bother, I'm not thirsty. I heard from Cheng Xin that you want to exchange some grain tickets with me, so I came over to take a look."
Li Xiuxia said straightforwardly with a laugh, "That is the case. My second uncle's eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant and needs nutrition to nourish her body, but there isn't that much grain at home. So I wanted to exchange some grain tickets with you. If I could exchange for some meat tickets, that would be even better. Wait a moment, I'll go get the things."
After speaking, Li Xiuxia turned and walked out. In a short while, she came back holding a gourd bottle.
Just one glance and Cao Weiguo was happy in his heart, secretly thinking that Sister Li had quite a few good things.
Cao Weiguo said truthfully, "This glaze gourd bottle is from Jingdezhen, an old object from the mid-Ming Dynasty. It could be exchanged for a lot of money at a cultural relic store."
Li Xiuxia laughed, "Going to the cultural relic store is too much trouble. If you like this bottle, I'll exchange it with you."
Cao Weiguo asked, "I quite like this gourd bottle. Sister Li, how do you plan to exchange it?"
Li Xiuxia said directly, "Fifty catties of national grain tickets, ten catties of meat tickets."
Cao Weiguo agreed readily, "No problem." ===== CHAPTER 1530 =====
