Chronicle of the 70s

Sorting them out made it much easier. Later, Li Xianglu found a Late Qing Imperial Kiln blue and white bowl with a diameter of twenty centimeters in a pair of messy pots, and then he started buying all kinds of jars and pots aggressively.

This chap was incredibly lucky, usually able to find one or two good items in a day. Before the end of the summer vacation, he and Anna went out for a day and ended up getting two pairs of elephant ear vases in excellent condition just when they planned to call it a day.

Li Xianglu was shocked, wondering whose family these belonged to, considering them foolish to sell such fine vases.

While chugging water, Qin Zhen bragged, "The family wanted to sell them to pay for their elderly’s medical bills. A pair was priced at one hundred yuan, but I bargained down to fifty. How about that, am I awesome or what?"

However, Li Xianglu felt there was something odd about these vases, wondering why anyone would also give away the boxes used to store the vases.

After arranging the vases, Li Xianglu fiddled with the two boxes, which were beautifully made of wood, the more he looked, the more he felt that something was off.

Sister Xing cooked porridge and dishes that evening. Anna, sweating, went to wash up and changed into a long dress from Li Xianglu. Her face flushed, Li Xianglu quickly took a homemade aloe vera from the fridge and applied it to her, to prevent peeling the next day.

Qin Zhen frowned and complained, "I’ve been collecting junk for a month, why don’t you ever offer to apply some for me?"

Li Xianglu glanced at Qin Zhen and replied indifferently, "You have thick skin and rough flesh, what are you afraid of!"

Anna found it amusing and comforted him, "Go wash up, I’ll apply some for you."
