The Red Era: The Crowd in the Siheyuan

Chapter 522 Xu Damao's Imperial Celadon
When he heard his granddaughter asking about this, He Daqing nodded with a smile.
"It's more than just knowing each other.

Xiaomin's grandfather and I have known each other since we were young, and we have been wrestling together since we were young.

Just like Zhuzi and Xu Damao in the backyard, they are childhood friends.
It’s just that the world was in chaos before liberation, and your Grandpa Tian was unlucky and was killed early. Otherwise, we two old brothers could often get together to drink or something.

Your Grandpa Tian is not like your Uncle Xu, who said he would treat your dad to a drink, but ended up saying that it melted.
When I say please, I really mean it, without any ambiguity."

"Haha, Grandpa, Uncle Mao from Renda only did this once or twice, how come you still remember it? Why didn't you mention it when Teacher Ran helped us with our homework when we were little?"

"You little girl, you are bullying your grandfather."

"I am telling the truth. My grandfather Deng said that we should seek truth from facts, so I certainly cannot distort the facts."

"You are the only one who has seen your Grandpa Deng. I have seen him too, and he even ate the food I cooked."

Hearing what He Daqing said, He Qing didn't care at all. Their family had cooked for so many leaders, so many that they couldn't even count them all. They were used to it.

After lunch, He Yuejin took Sun Xiaomin, Lin Weidong and the others out to play, while He Yuzhu walked to the backyard of Xu's house with his hands behind his back.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xu Damao and his friends eating. I looked at the dishes on the table.
Then he laughed and joked,
"Oh, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. You just said you would buy me a drink, so I won't be polite.
Wen Zhao, take a pair of chopsticks."

Xu Damao and Ran Qiuye didn't even need to say anything, Xu Wenzhao stood up from the bench to get the bowl and chopsticks, obviously he was used to it.

At this time, He Yuzhu had already spoken to Xu Wenyuan.
"Wenyuan, study hard in school. When you graduate, go work at the Education Bureau and be your mother's boss."

To Xu Damao and Ran Qiuye, others' words were probably just a joke, but when He Yuzhu said it, it was like a promise.
"Zhu Zi, are you serious? Can Wen Yuan really be arranged to work in the Education Bureau after he is released?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Zhuzi, is this true? Didn't students who graduated from university in the past become teachers? Now they can go to the Education Bureau?"

He Yuzhu dared to say this for a reason. Seeing the two people had such doubts, he smiled and nodded.

"What you said happened more than 10 or 20 years ago. At that time, we were still fighting against illiteracy and there was a severe shortage of teachers. Normal school graduates naturally gave priority to becoming teachers.

Moreover, our generation is different from the young people of today. We just do whatever we are told to do by our superiors.

Now, of course, it’s different.
Besides, Huaihua and Wenyuan are students from Yanjing Normal University, they are unique and will definitely become cadres."

Seeing He Yuzhu's certainty, Ran Qiuye and Xu Damao immediately burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay, my son will definitely be more successful than me in the future."

After saying that, Xu Damao stood up and took out a plate from the cabinet.
"Come here, Zhuzi, show me whether this plate is from the Yuan Dynasty and whether it can be a family heirloom."

Looking at the green plate handed over by Xu Damao, He Yuzhu started to complain without even taking it.

"Xu Damao, you are really amazing. I just took a bite of the food and haven't even had a drink yet, but you're already ordering me around. What kind of person are you?"

After saying that, He Yuzhu took the plate and scanned it with the system.
Dragon pattern plate:

Origin: Longquan

Year: 14th century
Seeing that the production period was correct, He Yuzhu looked at it carefully and nodded after a while.
"It is indeed Ge Kiln celadon from the Yuan Dynasty. It is in the shape of a large dragon-patterned plate used by the imperial court. Damao, you have picked up a great bargain. It is not an exaggeration to call this thing a family heirloom."

After saying that, He Yuzhu gently placed the plate on the table and instructed, "In the future, when showing something to someone, don't just hand it to them. Put it aside and let them take it themselves. Otherwise, if it's broken, you won't be able to explain it.
I don’t even know how to judge a lawsuit.”

Xu Damao didn't understand what the Ge Kiln and Di Kiln were, but he understood the meanings of imperial court and heirloom. After hearing He Yuzhu's instructions, he immediately picked up the plate carefully and took a look.
"Hey, Zhuzi, there are so many things going on here, I don't really understand them.
Speaking of heirlooms, my two sons only have one plate, which is not enough to share. Do you want one, Zhu? I will sell it to you at a lower price for such a good thing."

Seeing that this guy wanted to sell him the dragon-patterned plate, He Yuzhu didn't know what he was up to, so he asked in surprise,

"Da Mao, I didn't explain it to you clearly or something, are you really going to sell it to me? Don't you regret it?"

"No regrets!"

Seeing Xu Damao's firm words, He Yuzhu became interested.

"Don't say that my brother bullied you, name your own price."

"Tsk, you are bullying me. I don't know anything, but you ask me to name a price. We have been friends for so many years, you will definitely not cheat me. Just tell me the truth."

Hearing what he said, He Yuzhu knew that this guy was determining the price of the plate.

So he smiled and shook his head.

"Come on, put away your little tricks. If you really want to sell it to me, I will only offer you 10 dollars at most. Not a penny more."

Hearing that it was only worth 10 yuan, Xu Damao was a little dumbfounded. This was not in line with the positioning of a royal heirloom or a family heirloom.
"It's not a pillar. Isn't it used by the imperial court? Isn't it a family heirloom? Why did you only give 10 yuan? How can it be called a imperial court heirloom?"

Seeing Xu Damao's surprised look, He Yuzhu pretended a little.
"First, it is true that this is used by the royal court.
But as the saying goes, gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, now ordinary people can barely get enough food, who has time to tinker with this stuff?
I give you 10 yuan because we are childhood friends, otherwise it would be 5 yuan.

Second, I don't deal in antiques, nor do I expect to get rich from this stuff, nor do I want to pass it on to He Ying and the others. We can raise the price and pay the price back. If you want to sell it, then sell it. If you don't want to sell it, forget it.

I had no place to put it when I bought it, so I just put it in the house as a decoration.
Make it cheaper. Even if Zhenxing or He Xiao breaks it, I won’t feel bad. You didn’t spend any money anyway. A pure profit of 10 yuan is good enough.”

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Xu Damao couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Go away, even if I didn't spend any money, I won't sell it to you. I don't need the 10 yuan, and I can't just leave it under the bed and collect dust."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu glanced at him, then picked up the wine glass and asked,

"Okay, okay, whatever you want, I can drink now!"

"Drink it, no one can stop you here."

After saying that, Xu Damao stood up and put the plate in his own cabinet, at least giving the heirloom some face.

As soon as he put the plates away, Xu Damao had another idea.

"By the way, Zhuzi, how much did you buy this thing for? You paid 10 yuan for it right away. It looks like there is something interesting going on here!

How about we work together? "
