1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

In these difficult years, they were all neglected in the family.

In Wang Jiancheng's family, his two older brothers always received more love from their parents, while he was like a shadow in the corner, ignored by his parents.

The same is true for Liu Hongguang. He has an older brother above him and younger brothers and sisters below him, and he is stuck in the middle and no one pays attention to him. He can only find ways to fill his stomach by himself.

Li Chao, Fu Haibo and Xiao Baoliang also live in difficult conditions. For them, hunger every day is the most real feeling, and food is the only desire in their minds.

"This family happened to be away from home these two days, and we finally found such an opportunity, hoping to make some money. Who knew that after Banggeng went in, he didn't hurry to find food, but just brought out this stuff."

While complaining, Liu Hongguang stood up and brushed off the dust on his body, which was flying in the dim light.

At this moment, Li Chao, Fu Haibo and Xiao Baoliang's stomachs began to growl one after another as if they had made an appointment. The sound was particularly loud in the silence, as if it was a protest against their current predicament.

"Now, I have nothing to eat, and I have only these broken bottles and rotten cans. What's the use of them?"

Li Chao held his stomach and muttered, his eyes full of resentment.

Wang Jiancheng looked at the faces of the few people, shook his head helplessly, and could only say: "It's too late to regret now. We can only go to the black market to see if we can exchange these things for some food. You guys wait here first, Liu Hongguang and I will go. No matter what, there is no use keeping these things."

After hearing this, several people nodded in agreement.

Wang Jiancheng and Liu Hongguang began to disguise themselves. They found some rags and wrapped their heads tightly, leaving only their eyes exposed. In the dim light, they looked like mysterious night walkers.

Then they carefully put the bottles and jars into a bag. The sound of the bag and the jars colliding was like their heavy sighs.

After everything was ready, the two took a deep breath, crouched down, and hurried towards the black market.

Their figures gradually blurred in the night, leaving only Li Chao, Fu Haibo and Xiao Baoliang standing there, with a hint of expectation and uneasiness in their eyes, quietly waiting for the unknown result.

In the black market at night, dim lights are looming in every corner, illuminating faces that are either anxious, cunning, or vigilant.

The crowd was bustling about, but everyone kept their voices down, as if they were afraid of being spied on. The depressing and slightly dangerous atmosphere permeated the air.

Wang Jiancheng and Liu Hongguang, holding the bag full of bottles and jars tightly in their arms, searched in the crowded and noisy crowd, with nervousness and expectation in their eyes. They kept looking at everyone around them, trying to find a suitable buyer from those seemingly ordinary faces that had their own thoughts.

The bottles and cans collided with each other in the bag, making slight "ding-dong" sounds, and each sound seemed to be knocking on their uneasy hearts.

At this time, Li Weiguo was shuttling on the edge of the black market. He came here to check the market conditions in order to prepare for his subsequent plans.

Suddenly, a familiar whisper came into his ears. He was moved and looked in the direction of the voice.

He had just followed Banggeng's group of kids during the day, so he was particularly sensitive to their voices at this moment.

Sure enough, it was Wang Jiancheng and Liu Hongguang who were whispering, glancing at the people around them from time to time, obviously looking for an opportunity to sell those objects.

Li Weiguo suddenly had an idea in his mind, and his thoughts drifted back to the daytime.

At that time, he saw with his own eyes the house that Banggeng sneaked into. It was an exquisite courtyard house, which was quite unique among the ordinary houses around it.

Wherever you look at the courtyard, it exudes its extraordinaryness.

Judging from the overall decoration style and sophistication of the house, Li Weiguo concluded that the family was definitely not an ordinary family.

Therefore, Li Weiguo's intuition told him that the things that Banggeng stole from this family were likely to contain some valuable items.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, turned around and quickly went to find Wu Dong.

After finding Wu Dong, Li Weiguo lowered his voice and briefly explained the situation. He asked Wu Dong to contact Wang Jiancheng and Liu Hongguang first, and said, "Go and take a look at the situation. If possible, try to exchange the things they have. I think there might be some good stuff in there."

Wu Dong nodded in understanding and walked towards Wang Jiancheng and Liu Hongguang calmly.

He mingled in the crowd, seemingly strolling casually, but in fact his eyes were always fixed on the target.

When he got close to the two men, he pretended to be curious and asked, "Brothers, what's in this bag? You've been searching for it for a long time."

Wang Jiancheng and Liu Hongguang looked at Wu Dong warily. Liu Hongguang was about to say something perfunctory, but Wu Dong smiled and said, "Hey, I'm just asking casually. I like to exchange some things on weekdays. If it's suitable, maybe we can make a deal."

When the two heard this, they looked at each other and thought that they were worried about not being able to find a buyer anyway, so they relaxed their vigilance a little.

Wang Jiancheng said, "Okay, it's okay to show you." Then they found a place to put the bag on the ground, and took out the things inside one by one and placed them on the ground.

Seeing this, Wu Dong hurriedly took out a flashlight from his pocket and looked carefully in the dim light.

Seeing this, he was secretly delighted, as the things inside were indeed not simple.

Although those objects looked a bit old, their style and texture gave off an extraordinary aura.

One pair of small gall bottles in particular attracted his full attention.

Although the vase is not big, it is well preserved. The body of the vase is painted with delicate and exquisite patterns. The flowers, birds, fish and insects seem to be alive. The glaze is warm and has a soft luster under the light of the flashlight. It is obviously a good item at first glance.

Wu Dong had a clue in his mind, but his expression remained calm. He looked up at Wang Jiancheng and Liu Hongguang, and said with a smile, "Brothers, I think it's hard to deal with these things you have. I happen to have some food and sweet potatoes here. If you are willing, we can exchange them."

When Wang Jiancheng and Liu Hongguang heard this, they were stunned at first. They were originally worried about these things, but they didn't expect that they could be exchanged for food and sweet potatoes. A hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

The two men came together and discussed in a low voice for a few words, and immediately felt that this deal was a good deal, so they reached a deal with Wu Dong.

After Wang Jiancheng and Liu Hongguang walked away with the exchanged food and sweet potatoes, Wu Dong picked up the bag, walked quickly to Li Weiguo and handed the bag to him.

Li Weiguo couldn't wait to open it and was shocked.

His eyes were immediately attracted by the pair of gall bladder bottles. He held them in his hands and examined them repeatedly. The more he looked, the more surprised he felt.

He really didn't expect that among the things that Banggeng and his friends stole by accident, there would be such a treasure. This was really a pleasant surprise.
