Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales Chapter 216: Hapless Eldest Sister 31
The faces of the people from Zhongli’s house changed slightly.
Aunt Jiang Yuhua’s expression was unnatural as she forced a smile and said, "Your aunt has important matters and couldn’t co, but she asked to bring a gift to congratulate you on your move with prosperity and good fortune."
As she spoke, she handed Yuan Chun a basket she was carrying.
Inside was a set of bedding: sheets, quilt cover, pillowcases, and pillow towels.
Yuan Chun seed oblivious to the odd looks of a few people and accepted it openly. "Thank Aunt for , Aunt. The gift is so tily; I was just missing a set like this."
"As long as you like it."
Jiang Yuhua’s smile relaxed a lot, then she took down a bundle hanging on Zhong Li Jing’s bicycle handle and said, "This is a gift from and your uncle. We know you’ve just moved and need things at ho, so I made two sets of curtains and door curtains for you. They’re in green floral patterns, very fresh in color. The girls at our factory really like them, and I hope you do too."
"I also have so nice fabrics, and when you get married, I’ll bring you a couple more pieces. I work at a textile factory, and we have plenty of spare fabrics at ho, so just let know whenever you need them."
Jiang Yuhua is very talkative and a gentle, approachable person.
The shy aunt spoke softly and gently, "Wenwen, this is the tea set Uncle and Aunt are giving you. We don’t know if you’ll like the color, but if not, we can exchange it. I work at the Famous Porcelain Pavilion on West Road."
The Famous Porcelain Pavilion is a well-known boutique porcelain shop in Beijing.
Aunt smiled, "My family runs the shop, and I work there. If you want to buy any bowls, plates, dishes, tea sets, or vases, co to the shop and find , and I’ll give you the lowest discount."
Yuan Chun’s eyes lit up, "That’s great; my ho is missing so decorations. I’ll et Aunt at the Famous Porcelain Pavilion on another day."
"Alright, then I’ll wait for you."
The group entered Yuan Chun’s new house.
Looking at the spacious house, mahogany furniture, and antiques displayed on the furniture, the people from Zhongli’s house showed expressions of shock and surprise.
Yuan Chun explained with a smile, "These antiques were found by Ziteng and in the countryside two days ago. They only cost three hundred yuan in total. I don’t know antiques, nor if they’re real or not. Since they didn’t cost much, they’re just decorations."
Zhong Li Jing admired his niece’s good luck, "Most of these are genuine antiques, and two are rare masterpieces. You should keep them in a box rather than display them on the cabinet; if they get broken, it’d be a great loss."
Zhong Li Hui examined those antiques carefully and said, "Wenwen, you’re really fortunate. These antiques, if taken to the antique market, are worth at least twenty thousand."
In the early 1980s, the antique market was just beginning to recover, and there were few people in the antique business, so antique prices were very low. A vase hundreds of years old could perhaps be found for just a few dozen yuan.
The antique market really started booming in the 1990s.
The Wang family and Zhongli’s house were family friends, and there were many topics to chat about when they gathered together, with the most talk about the marriage of Wang Ziteng and Zhongli Yuanchun.
Once Wang Ziteng and Yuan Chun finished preparing two tables of dishes, the two families settled on a wedding date for the couple.
Wang Ziteng’s mother smiled cheerfully as she called Yuan Chun over, holding her hand, and said, "Wenwen, we’ve discussed your and Ziteng’s wedding date, and we’ve set it for the eighth day of the first lunar month. It’s a good day; suitable for marriage and will bring great fortune."
