Holding the supermarket in his hand and wearing the age, the rough man is blessed and his wife is be

Cao Xueying shook her head and said, "I'm not getting married yet. I bought the house so that my nephews and nieces can come to the county town to go to school."

"Haven't we already learned it? It's enough to just know how to read. There's no exam for the top scholar now."

"Second uncle, you are right, but you still need to be more literate. I heard that the factories in the county are recruiting workers and they all need education. If I could go to school, I would also like to go."

The five people didn't care. Why should a little girl go to school? She could just do more housework and get married when she was old enough to ask for a dowry.

But this is someone else's business, so it's better not to get involved. This girl doesn't give face when she speaks. If you provoke her, no matter who you are, she will fight back. There's no need to embarrass yourself.

Cao Qingping was smoking on the side, not caring what his daughter said at all.

Xiaosong also came back with seven people. They were all honest people. They gathered together and talked about the shops they had asked about. The highest price they gave was one dollar and fifty cents.

Now they all gave up. They all knew clearly that these things could not be exchanged for much money now.

Shopkeeper Meng invited them in to have some water, but Cao Qingping smiled and declined. After a while, the waiter came out with a kettle and teacups, and everyone had a bowl of hot water, which was quite comfortable.

After waiting for another half an hour, everyone came back, looking listless. Cao Qingping asked them to go to the hotel.

Two large bunk beds were enough for all of them.

But they all went into the room of the father and daughter.

"Fifth brother, let's go find that Taoist priest. If he agrees, we will sell everything to him. We will go back immediately. I will pack up the things at home and send them to this kind Taoist priest.

That is to say, they can give so much money. We are poor, so it is a good thing to sell more. Otherwise, what will we do if they leave in the future?"

After hearing Shengtou's words, everyone agreed. They also wanted to pack up their own things and sell them to the Taoist priest.

Cao Qingping coughed. How many do you have at home? Xueying, please register and discuss with the Taoist priest. If all the people put together, there will be much more than in our public house. Can they all take it?
"Yes, niece, please remember that my family is the first one. There are thirty-seven pieces in total, thirty pieces of jewelry, ten of which are inlaid with gold and jade, two are pure gold, and the rest are jade. There are also five calligraphy and paintings."

I watched Cao Xueying record it, and then one of the five people with more things to do registered second.

"Gangzi, the five of you should also register. It's too slow to just rely on Xueying."

It would be much faster if one person only registered six or seven people, and they all described it in great detail.

Cao Qingping knew that the quality of the things they had was very good. It could be said that they were even better than those in Gongzhong.

They also have more than 50 pieces at home, and they are not planning to sell them. They will share them among their children in the future. So they did not join in the fun.

"Fifth brother, aren't you selling yours?"

"We discussed leaving it to the children, your sister-in-law. But if the Taoist priest wants it, we will sell it and leave one for each of the children."

It was already noon after we registered. Everyone brought dry food, and Gangzi asked the waiter to steam it.

After finishing their lunch, Cao Qingping asked them if they had gone to the bank to ask.

Most of them nodded and said, "If we go, they will only accept pure gold, and they will also check the quality."

"Our gold is of good quality."

"Fifth uncle, didn't Third Master and the others say that we have to ask the Taoist priest whether he wants the gold, and only if he doesn't want it can we go to the bank to exchange it?" Gangzi reminded.

Cao Qingping nodded, "I know. Just let's get ready. You guys will figure it out in a while. Let's take a break and go find the Taoist priest."

"Dad, if we go there at this time, they must be eating. That's not a good idea."

"We can't worry about all the formalities. They still have to check the 373 items in our hands. We also have to discuss with the Taoist priest about the things in our hands. If they agree, we have to go up the mountain again and ask the government for some help. All these need to be discussed. There is not enough time, and we are also afraid that they will take a holiday." Now everyone urged the young man to settle the bill.

Although I didn't get any rest at night, I was still worried and felt uneasy until I exchanged the money.

The accounting was quite quick, and it took only half an hour to complete the calculation. I didn't expect that each family in the village had 1,236 items in their hands.

"Isn't this too much?" Cao Qingping sighed.

"Old Five, you should go find the Taoist first. Maybe they will accept it. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Okay, let's go, everyone follow me. If you want to wait for your subordinates in the house, then just stay in someone else's yard."

Knowing the direction, there is no need to ask around, mainly because the Xiao family is too big and the house is too nice.

I had just finished dinner and cleaned up the house, and was about to have some tea when I heard a knock on the door.

Chen Jiang went out to open the door and looked at the group of people outside. He frowned. What were they doing?
"Fellow villagers, what are you doing?"

"Comrade, these are the people from our village. They are all here. Come and see the Taoist priest."

Chen Jiang already knew the details of this group of people and invited them in.

Lao Dao and Chen Miao also came out, and everyone looked at her in surprise. They had never seen such a beautiful woman before.

"Please come in," the old Taoist said with a smile.

Then we entered the hall, which was the reception hall for guests, but there were not that many seats.

Chen Jiang and Mrs. Zhang brought over quite a few benches, but they were not enough, so they had to use small benches.

"You're welcome, Taoist priest. We can just stand there."

"How can you stand? Sit down. Have you eaten yet?"

"I've already eaten. I've already eaten. I'm really sorry to come here at this time. Have you delayed my rest?"

"It's okay, it's okay. What do you want to see me about?"

"Master, I won't lie. My clansmen have all gone to ask around. It really can't be sold for much money, so I shamelessly came to you. Please help us." Cao Qingping felt really ashamed after saying this.

"Okay, as long as the quality is good, sell it to us. This is the wife of Chief Shen whom you have met. We are really trying to help you. To be honest, there are many jewelry and calligraphy and paintings out there that are of better quality than what you have. We can buy them for only two or three dollars at most.

The reason why we paid such a high price is because Director Shen and his wife want to help you."

"Thank you, thank you very much."

Cao Xueying has been stealing glances at Chen Miao since she came in, which really attracts everyone's attention.

Chen Miao smiled and said, "Don't be shy, everyone. We know your situation and we won't hesitate to help you."

Cao Qingping looked embarrassed, "Madam."

Chen Miao interrupted him, "Don't call me that. Just call me Comrade Chen."

"Comrade Chen, we still have 301 pieces of jewelry in our public house, 72 ornaments, a total of 373 pieces, and 35 paintings. We brought them all here this time."
