At the entrance of the courtyard house, He Yuzhu took down the chairs and tea tables. Then, she carried the furniture into the house with the old man. She gave the old man 30 yuan and pretended to go to the kitchen to get 60 catties of noodles, 20 catties of pork, and a big pig's head.
He Yuzhu had originally planned to make this pig's head into pig's head braised meat, but on second thought, it would be too ostentatious to make a pig's head directly in the courtyard.
He might as well give it to this old man. Firstly, it was for the shipping fee. Secondly, he was afraid that he would regret it in the future. He had already let him know about his family. If he regretted it and came looking for him again, there would be no end to trouble.
"This…such a big pig's head would cost at least 10 yuan.”Although the white-bearded old man said that he was embarrassed, he had already reached out and picked up the pig head.
"Grandpa, don't stand on ceremony. If you have any antiques to sell in the future, just come to me. I like these things. I'm a chef myself, so I don't lack food.”
He Yuzhu found another bag and put the pig's head and pork in it. Then, he and the old man carried the pork and the bag onto the donkey cart.
"Well said, little brother. I still have a few good things at home that were passed down from my ancestors. If I can't cook them again, I'll come over directly to exchange for food.”
The white-bearded old man finally heaved a sigh of relief. 30 yuan, 60 catties of noodles, 20 catties of pork, and a big pig's head. He had finally settled down on New Year's Eve.
After sending off the white-bearded old man, He Yuzhu returned to the house and closed the door.
He found a rag and was wiping the empty space of the armchair when Yan Shuzhai, the Third Master of the courtyard, pushed open the door and entered.
In the courtyard house, everyone lived together, so it was normal not to knock on the door.
From afar, he saw He Yuzhu and an old man carrying two chairs into the house. He thought,'Has Silly Zhu struck it rich?'
"Aiyo, Silly Zhu, this…this chair looks like it's from the Ming Dynasty!”Yan Shuzhai had some knowledge of antiques. Ming Dynasty furniture was the pinnacle of history.
Unfortunately, he was so poor that he had no money to collect.
"Hey, Third Uncle, you really know what's good for you. Let me clean the chair and tidy it up.”
He Yuzhu placed the chair beside the bed, and the tea table was placed between the two chairs. It was placed against the wall, and Yan Shuzhai also helped to move it.
Although Third Uncle was stingy, in that era, teachers were nicknamed " Stinky Old Nine." Their salaries were pitifully low. In addition, he had many children at home. He was forced to live, so he really had no choice.
"Alright, this is a good position. You can see what's going on outside when you turn your head. However, for such a good chair, you have to find someone to sew a cushion. It's so cold and comfortable.”
Yan Shuzhai sat on the Ming Dynasty's imperial armchair made of yellow rosewood and drank the tea He Yuzhu had brought over. Hmm…he felt very comfortable…
"Third Uncle, I want to ask you something. Is there a teacher with the surname Ran in your school called…Ran Qiuye?”
In He Yuzhu's impression, Ran Qiuye was going to be a great class teacher in the future. In the TV series, she was considered a beautiful woman with a very good personality and character.
"Silly Zhu, you sure are well-informed. Teacher Ran just transferred over this year, and he's a university student. Why? Do you have any ideas?"
Yan Shuzhai took a sip of low-quality green tea and thought to himself," Silly Zhu is like a toad lusting after swan meat. That Teacher Ran looks like a lady from a wealthy family. Her parents are both overseas Chinese who have returned from overseas. It's impossible for her to take a fancy to you, Silly Zhu. The two of you are not on the same level at all."
