Chapter 215

Every time, many aunts and older women rushed to introduce objects to Cao Weiguo.

Upon learning that Cao Weiguo was already married, many elderly people who wanted to recruit a son-in-law sighed in regret.

"Director Cao, you're here so early today!"

A woman carrying a shovel greeted him with a smile by the field.

Cao Weiguo's eyes lit up when he saw the woman; her name was Li Xiuxia.

She had a good figure, a melon-seed face, phoenix eyes, and a pretty appearance.

She was wearing black pants and a thin blue women's shirt, and the curves on her chest were quite striking.

Cao Weiguo replied with a smile: "The weather is hot, so I came out earlier to be cooler."

Li Xiuxia said with a smile: "That's true, the weather is getting hotter and hotter."

Cao Weiguo said: "Sister Li, I have to go to the brigade; let's chat again when we have time."

Li Xiuxia said quickly: "I caught a wild chicken; do you want it?"

Cao Weiguo said: "I'll take it if it's alive."

Li Xiuxia said happily: "It's alive and very energetic; I'll go home and get it for you right now."

A wild chicken was worth one yuan and five mao, which could feed her for several days.

Li Xiuxia is 24 years old this year, and her husband passed away due to illness two years ago.

Her in-laws blamed Li Xiuxia for her husband's death and drove her back to her maiden home.

Her father passed away early, and only an old mother and a younger sister were left in her maiden home.

Li Xiuxia had to support three people by herself, so even eating mixed flour was a struggle.

Cao Weiguo knew the situation of Li Xiuxia's family: "No rush, just bring it when I'm about to leave."

After saying a few words, Cao Weiguo rode his bike to the brigade.

Village Chief Li Dazhu had already brought the accountant and others to wait.

Many villagers also brought things to the brigade, waiting for Cao Weiguo to weigh and settle the accounts.

"Director Cao is here!"

Seeing Cao Weiguo's figure, the villagers were very happy.

This is a living God of Wealth!

Once he arrived, the brigade's courtyard immediately became busy.

Cao Weiguo checked them one by one, and only those that were qualified would be weighed.

The accountant registered them, and Cao Weiguo settled the accounts on the spot.

This decisive and neat attitude made the villagers very happy.

When previous procurement officers came to the countryside, settling money was very difficult.

The longest could drag on for seven or eight months, and the fastest would take one or two months.

"Director Cao, I heard you like old items."

"Take a look and see if you like this."

While loading the sacks, the accountant secretly approached him.

Cao Weiguo's heart trembled when he saw the incense burner in the accountant's hand.

Exquisite casting, warm patina, thick body, containing inner treasure...

"This copper burner looks good."

Cao Weiguo took the incense burner and carefully observed it.

The incense burner was made of copper, the shape and structure of the furnace body were regular, and there were double elephant ears on both sides... the patina was steady, the color was elegant, and it was thick and clever.

The bottom was inscribed with "Made by Li Yuzao in the sixth year of Xuande" in regular script.

Cao Weiguo had already determined that this was a Xuande burner.

The Xuande burner was the first copperware made of brass in Chinese history, and the Xuande Emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally supervised it.

This Xuande burner was in perfect condition and exquisitely cast; even if it were auctioned abroad now, it would be worth a fortune.

Cao Weiguo said: "How much money does Accountant Li want to exchange it for?"

Accountant Li said in a low voice: "Is ten yuan okay?"

Cao Weiguo hesitated and pondered; this price was not high, but he didn't agree immediately.

Accountant Li stood nervously on the side, feeling some regret for asking for such a high price.

Asking for ten yuan for an old copper burner made him feel guilty.

Cao Weiguo said: "I quite like this copper burner, but ten yuan..."

Accountant Li said quickly: "How about eight yuan?"

Cao Weiguo nodded: "Alright."

Accountant Li was immediately beaming with joy; a copper burner exchanged for eight yuan.

He secretly thought that city people are truly foolish and have too much money.

This kind of thing, you can't eat or drink it, what's the use of it.

In this day and age, no treasure is as practical as steamed buns and pork.

Coincidentally, Li Xiuxia came over with a brown pheasant:

"Director Cao, you like old burners? My family also has one; do you want it?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Weiguo felt happy in his heart; what a good day it was today.

Double happiness!

Cao Weiguo said: "Is it the same kind?"

Li Xiuxia thought for a moment and said: "The one in my house has three legs."

This sentence made Cao Weiguo's heart jump violently.

A three-legged incense burner!

Cao Weiguo said impatiently: "Can you take me to see it?"

Li Xiuxia said: "Why not, but you should see how this wild chicken is first."

Cao Weiguo took out one yuan and five mao readily: "It's quite plump, I'll take it."

Li Xiuxia was very happy to receive the money, and Cao Weiguo put the pheasant in the corner.

He found Village Chief Li Dazhu and told him that the truck for the goods would arrive in a while.

Then he left the brigade with Li Xiuxia.

Li Dazhu approached the accountant and asked: "What did Director Cao and Li Xiuxia go to do?"

Accountant Li said with a wicked smile: "What else could they do? I think Li Xiuxia has hooked up with Director Cao."

What about her family also having a copper burner, and what about three legs.

Her family is so poor they can't even find a four-legged chair.

Where would there be any copper burner.

Nine times out of ten, she took a fancy to Cao Weiguo and is preparing to find a mistress to support the family.

Li Dazhu said with a smile: "No wonder Li Xiuxia hasn't remarried; it turns out her standards are high, and she doesn't even look at farmers."

Li Xiuxia's appearance is good, her figure is good, and there are many men who want to marry her.

But after being driven back by her in-laws, she stayed at home and didn't remarry.

This made many men sigh in regret.

After leaving the brigade, Cao Weiguo followed behind Li Xiuxia.

His eyes involuntarily fell on her firm and perky parts, and his heart couldn't help but heat up.

Li Xiuxia's figure is not inferior to Qin Huairu's.

Although her skin is a bit rough due to years of working in the fields and being exposed to the wind and sun.

But Li Xiuxia wins in being young, her eyebrows and appearance are also good, and her figure is even better.

"Have you seen enough?"

Halfway there, Li Xiuxia suddenly turned around, blushing and glaring at Cao Weiguo.

Cao Weiguo was thick-skinned: "Ah! What did Sister Li say?"

Li Xiuxia rolled her eyes: "I'm not talking to you anymore, walk faster."

Following Li Xiuxia to her home, the courtyard was dilapidated but kept clean.

Arriving in the room, it was truly empty, without a single piece of intact furniture.
