Only children in Siheyuan make choices. I want them all.

Looking closely, Qin Huairu is now thinner, much thinner than before. Her originally round face has lost its former luster, and is now pale and tired. Due to long-term exposure to the wind and sun, her skin has become dark and rough, as if deeply marked by time. She looks a dozen years older than before.

In order to see her children as soon as possible, Qin Huairu couldn't wait to reach out and stop a taxi.

"Comrade, where are you going?" the driver asked enthusiastically.

"I'm going to No. 95 Nanluoguxiang!" Qin Huairu's eyes were shining with joy and a smile was on the corners of her mouth.

"Okay!" The driver stepped on the accelerator and the car started quickly. Less than an hour later, the car arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

Returning to the courtyard she had not visited for a long time, Qin Huairu felt a complex emotion in her heart, as if time had gone back to the past.

The more than half a year of imprisonment has made her wake up from a dream. This painful experience will always linger in her heart and become an indelible shadow.

Qin Huairu walked into her yard with excitement. However, to her surprise, the house was empty. Jia Dongxu was nowhere to be found, and even Xiaodang and Huaihua disappeared without a trace.

The whole room was filled with an eerie silence, which made Qin Huairu feel puzzled. Soon she realized that there was a layer of dust in the house, and it was obvious that no one had lived in it for a long time.

"What is going on? Dongxu! Xiaodang! Banggeng!" Qin Huairu staggered out of the house as if she had lost her soul.

At this time, Sha Zhu just went out, wanting to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things early, but he bumped into Qin Huairu.

"Zhuzi! Zhuzi! Have you seen Dongxu? And Xiaodang and Huaihua, where did they go?" Qin Huairu grabbed the collar of silly Zhu and questioned him frantically.

"Are you crazy? Where did this crazy woman come from?" Sha Zhu didn't recognize Qin Huairu at first, so he pushed her fiercely.

"Zhu Zi, don't you recognize me? I am your sister Qin, Qin Huairu!" Qin Huairu said aggrievedly.

"It's you! Jia Dongxu is dead. Xiaodang and Huaihua are at the third uncle's house. You can go find them yourself." After saying that, Sha Zhu turned around and left, not giving Qin Huairu any chance to continue asking questions.

"No! No way! How could Dongxu die?" Qin Huairu stood there in a daze for a long time. She couldn't accept this fact at all.

But what if she accepts it? What if she doesn't accept it? The facts will not change just because she doesn't accept it.

Zhang Jianjun had already had breakfast at this time. Since it was Saturday, he planned to go to Nan Yi's house to see if he could get any antiques.

Just as Zhang Jianjun arrived at the central courtyard, he found Qin Huairu standing there in a daze.

"Is this woman stupid? Why is she standing there in a daze?" Zhang Jianjun said to himself.

But Zhang Jianjun was not a nosy person at all. He ignored Qin Huairu and went directly to Nan Yi's house.

As soon as Yu Li saw Zhang Jianjun, she greeted him warmly: "Jianjun! Why are you here? Have you eaten? Do you want to eat something together?"

Zhang Jianjun waved his hand and said, "No! I have something to do with Nan Yi. Is he home now?"

Yu Li smiled and replied: "At home! He drank too much yesterday and hasn't woken up yet. I'll go call him."

Five minutes later, Nan Yi finished dressing and washing up, and walked out of the bedroom with a smile: "Brother Jianjun is here, is there anything you need my help with this time?"

Zhang Jianjun smiled and stated the purpose of his visit: "I just want to see you and the antiques on you. Is it convenient today?"

Nan Yi waved his hand when he heard that: "Is it inconvenient? I'll get it for you right now."

Not long after, Nan Yi brought a package and placed it on the table. Zhang Jianjun opened it casually and saw seven or eight pieces of jade, as well as pearls, agates, gold bars, silver dollars and other things inside.

No wonder they often say that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the capitalist Nan Yi has fallen on hard times, he is still not comparable to ordinary people.

"I'm really enlightened today. I didn't expect Brother Nan to have so many gold, silver, jade bracelets and pendants." Zhang Jianjun hurriedly complimented with a smile.

"Give me an estimate of the price! I'll sell it all to you!" Nan Yi didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

Zhang Jianjun looked at the jewelry carefully. A pair of imperial green bracelets alone was probably worth a fortune, not to mention a Nanpu pearl necklace, a Hetian jade Guanyin, three small yellow croakers, a large yellow croaker, and several jade pendants.

"How about this! I'll give you 10,000 yuan in cash and buy everything in your bag. What do you think?" Zhang Jianjun asked with a smile.

"Okay! We're brothers. I haven't had time to thank you for my transfer to the steel rolling mill." Although the price did not meet Nan Yi's psychological price, who made him owe Zhang Jianjun a favor?

"Okay! I'll go back and get the money." Zhang Jianjun was about to leave when Nan Yi immediately stopped him.

"Take the things first. I'm not afraid that you will default on your debt."

Zhang Jianjun was not pretentious and took away all the Nan Yi heirlooms.

According to the prices at the time, these things would cost at least more than 30,000 yuan, but they could not be sold privately at the time, so Zhang Jianjun got a big bargain.
