Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

This wedding in Ancheng allowed Xu Changping to fully understand his and Fan Pingping's family background.

After the banquet, Xu Changping relived the vast drinking culture of China.

"Director Xu, we'll leave first."

After the banquet, Xiao Gang and Han Weiguo said to Xu Changping after leaving Dongxing Tower.

Xu Changping said nothing, waved his hand and walked in the opposite direction.

Now that he was here today, he planned to take a walk around the abandoned courtyard to see if there was anyone else monitoring him.

Wandering around Jiangjun Hutong, Xu Changping looked at the people constantly coming in and out and realized that the pigeon market had reopened.

Thinking of the child who reminded him last time, Xu Changping looked around, but did not see any trace of the child. He shook his head and chuckled, then walked inside.

No gatekeeper?

Xu Changping did not encounter anyone blocking the road to collect tolls, and walked in smoothly.

The pigeon market nowadays is not as deserted as before. I don’t know where these people get the goods from, they sell all kinds of things.

Xu Changping walked inside without stopping. As long as he passed through this alley, he could reach the vicinity of the abandoned courtyard.

Ok?

As he was walking, Xu Changping suddenly stopped and a ray of reflected light shone into his eyes.

Xu Changping turned around and found a stall selling hair ties. Look what he found, a fake diamond hair accessory.

In his previous life, there was a child in his school who accidentally swallowed the decorations above. He bought some to study them, and later suggested to the principal that the school should ban such things.

What era is this? The 60s!

What does it mean that fake diamonds appear here? Xu Changping smiled as he looked at the clip in his hand.

"Brother, do you want to buy this crystal jewelry?"

Just as Xu Changping picked up the tongs, the stall owner's childish voice rang out.

He then realized that the stall owner was actually a cute little girl who looked a little thin. He thought the voice sounded familiar, so he raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Have we met before?"

"Brother, have you forgotten that you gave me a lot of White Rabbit candies?"

The little girl pursed her lips at first, then said with a smile.

"It's you! Why are you setting up a stall here?" Xu Changping asked the little girl with a smile.

I thought to myself: Could this stuff have come from this little girl? Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the little girl say in a baby voice:

"I'm watching over it for my sister. She went home to cook."

"Then your sister..."

"What are you doing, Xiao Mi, didn't I tell you not to talk to strangers?"

Before Xu Changping finished speaking, a figure rushed to the little girl and spoke loudly.

"Sister, this brother is not a stranger. He is the brother who gave me many White Rabbits before."

Before Xu Changping could figure out how to explain, Xiao Mi pulled the hem of her sister's clothes hard and said.

"Hello, I just think this clip is very nice and want to ask the price." Xu Changping raised the fake diamond clip in his hand and said with a smile.

As soon as the girl ran over, Xu Changping knew that this must be the person he was looking for.

"This is not for sale." The girl saw the thing and anxiously reached out to snatch the clip back.

Xu Changping did not dodge and let her snatch the things back.

However, looking at the frail figures of the two girls, one big and one small, in front of him, Xu Changping was somewhat curious about the origins of these girls. It seemed that her golden finger was not very useful.

"Forget it if I don't sell it."

Xu Changping smiled nonchalantly, took out a handful of White Rabbit cigarettes from his bag, stuffed them into the little girl's hand, and said:

"This brother will treat you to a meal." After saying that, he quickly left the stall.

"What a weird guy." Yang Xiaoyue glanced at the big White Rabbit in Xiaomi's hand, then looked at Xu Changping's back, and said in a low voice.

When Xu Changping heard her words, he paused for a moment and without looking back, he walked straight to another exit of the alley.

As soon as I left Jiangjun Hutong, the feeling of being watched came back.

Xu Changping couldn't help but secretly spit in his heart: Who is so bored that he has been guarding here for several months?

I randomly chose a direction and soon arrived at the main street.

After checking the time, he found an empty alley, took the fertilizer bag out of the space, held it in his hand, and walked quickly to the nearby bus stop.

It's already afternoon, and I don't know if Director Zhang will be angry if I go so late.

"You're finally here. The curator has been waiting for you all morning."

As soon as Xu Changping arrived at the library, the female staff member he had met before spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Then I'm going in."

Xu Changping didn't bother to argue with her. After saying something, he went straight to Director Zhang's office.

After knocking on the door and getting permission, Xu Changping pushed the door open and quickly explained: "Master, I went to the wedding this morning."

"It's okay, as long as you're here." Director Zhang was not angry, but said with a smile.

Then he asked, "Have you finished reading all the books I gave you?"

"I've finished reading it." Xu Changping put the fertilizer bag in his hand on the table and said.

"Do you have any questions that need to be answered?" Director Zhang asked as he took a book out of his bag.

"I don't think there's anything to ask. The book explains it very clearly, but it's not detailed enough." Xu Changping said, touching his nose.

"Hahaha, you're just as I expected. Here are the notes you need to read this time." Director Zhang put the things he had prepared long ago into the empty fertilizer bag.

After packing everything, Director Zhang sat down and said to Xu Changping:

"It was too late last time, and I didn't have time to talk to you. I only know that your name is Xu Changping and you are a doctor."

"Master, I am 18 years old. Both my parents are deceased. I work as the deputy director of the infirmary of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. I live in No. 95, Nanluoguxiang, in the east wing of the middle courtyard."

Xu Changping introduced his situation in one breath.

"Master is similar to you. I have four sons. One died in battle and three are missing. The only one left is a little granddaughter. This child is not interested in antique appraisal. I accepted you because I don't want my craft to be lost."

As Director Zhang spoke, he felt his eyes moisten a little. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and touched his eyes. Then he said to Xu Changping:

"You are a good kid. I thought you were pretty good the first time I saw you. I never thought you would want to learn the craft of antique appraisal. It's a blessing from our ancestors that I was able to take you in by accident."

"It is my honor to be your disciple." Xu Changping said modestly.

The brocade handkerchief that he just saw was used by the old man. In this day and age, he was still using a brocade handkerchief as a handkerchief. How wealthy must his family be?

As he spoke, Director Zhang walked to the door and called out, "Comrade Zhang Mengxue, come in for a moment."

Not long after, Xu Changping saw the female staff member who had been speaking to him in a sarcastic manner at the door walk in.

Director Zhang pointed at Xu Changping and said to her, "Mengxue, say hello to your junior uncle."

"Grandpa." Zhang Mengxue acted coquettishly towards Director Zhang, not wanting to call him.

"Be obedient." Director Zhang said seriously with a stern face.

"Hello, Junior Master." Zhang Mengxue bowed reluctantly to Xu Changping.

"Um, hello."

Xu Changping didn't expect that he would have a niece while he was stunned, so he had to finish his words dryly and continued:

"I came in a hurry today, I'll give you the gift next time."

"Okay, you can go out now." Director Zhang said directly without caring what her granddaughter had to say.

"Oh, then I'll go out first." After saying that, Zhang Mengxue turned and left the office.

"Take these books back and read them first. Come back to me when you have finished reading them all." Director Zhang said to Xu Changping when he saw Zhang Mengxue leave.

"Okay, Master, you go ahead and do your work. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Xu Changping picked up the bag of fertilizer on the table and left the office.
