    Early the next morning, Chu Chen's family went to pay homage to Liu Guomin.  Seeing the grave where a loved one was buried again, Chu Chen still felt very sad. If his adoptive father could live, he would be able to enjoy the happiness of family and reunite with his sister again.  "It's a pity that there is no if in this world. Chu Chen can only put down the grief in his heart and vow to let Liu Guoju's family and the villagers here live a happy life in the future.  Unlike Chu Chen¡¯s sad mood, Chu Yongning and his wife were very grateful to Liu Guomin.  If it hadn't been for Liu Guomin's careful teaching and care over the years, Chu Chen wouldn't be as good as he is now, and he might have been swallowed up by the hatred in Chu Chen's heart.  After paying homage to Liu Guomin, because Chu Yongning had to go to work tomorrow, Chu Chen asked his parents and sister to go back first, while he stayed to buy old things in the village and prepare to return to Beijing tomorrow.  Originally, Chu Yulan said that going home was boring, and wanted to stay and play for a while. However, the conditions here were relatively poor after all, which was not conducive to the healing of the wound on her arm. No one agreed with her idea, and in the end they could only look unhappy.  I happily returned to Beijing with Chu Yongning and his wife.  After seeing off his parents and sister, Chu Chen took Hu Yong to the ancestral hall in the village, where he bought antiques today.  Because they had learned the news in advance, the villagers brought over all the bottles and cans passed down from their ancestors. There was a wide variety of things at the scene, and some even brought pig food bowls.  Seeing this, the old village chief scolded: "You fool, why did you bring all the pig food bowls over?" Er fool scratched his head.  He smiled naively and said, "You are an old thing. This pig food bowl belongs to my grandfather's grandfather. I already had it. Isn't it old enough?" The old village chief said angrily: "You idiot.  Goods, things are old depending on their use and what they are made of. Just say that the stone mill at the entrance of our village is two or three hundred years old. Is it old enough? I will sell it to you for five hundred yuan. Do you want it?  ?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not stupid, why did I buy that thing?¡± Erluzi said with a wink.  "You're not stupid, and Chu Wazi is even less stupid. Do you think he would spend money to buy a pig food bowl like yours?" The old village chief glared at Er Lengzi.  The idiot thought for a while and felt that it made sense, so he scratched his head and said, "Then let me take the things back!" After saying that, he picked up the pig food bowl.  Ready to take it home.  "Wait!" Chu Chen quickly stopped him, then walked up and said, "Brother Er Leng, can you show me your pig food bowl!" Everyone saw that Chu Chen actually wanted to see it.  The two idiots all looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what Chu Chen wanted to do.  Is this pig food bowl still a treasure?  "Brother Er Leng, can I take a look?" Chu Chen asked again after seeing Er Lengzi's stunned look.  "Oh! It's okay, Chu Wazi, just watch it!" Er Lunzi came to his senses and quickly put the pig food bowl back on the ground.  This pig¡¯s food bowl is nearly fifty centimeters in diameter.  Because of feeding pigs all year round, the basin looks very dirty.  Except for a little bit of foundation exposed at the bottom, the rest of the surface was covered up by mud and swill.  But it was that little bit of exposure that made Chu Chen realize that the pig food bowl looked like a copper vessel, which immediately made Chu Chen interested.  In the past, when Chu Chen was in the antique market, he often heard about going to the countryside to receive goods. He accidentally discovered that pig food bowls, dog food bowls, and chicken food bowls were actually good things, and then picked them up at a very low price.  Although Chu Chen has never experienced this kind of thing, he has heard about it many times. In the past, he sometimes fantasized about when he would encounter such a good thing.  ¡°Now it seems that Er Lunzi¡¯s pig food bowl is likely to fulfill Chu Chen¡¯s wish that he has been thinking about for many years.  Next, Chu Chen did not use his powers to check first, because it would lose some of the surprise. He asked the old village chief for water and a rag, and prepared to give the pig's food bowl a bath first.  Of course, in another situation, Chu Chen would definitely not use water to clean it, but since this thing has been used to feed pigs, there is no need to pay so much attention.  After a while, the water and rags arrived, so Chu Chen began to clean it. Because he wanted to keep the integrity of the basin as much as possible, Chu Chen did not dare to use too much force. He only dealt with some key areas briefly.  , prepare to go back and use tools to handle it properly.  The swill and soil are easy to clean. After a while, the bottom of the "pig food bowl" was roughly exposed, and a smile broke out on Chu Chen's face.  This basin is large in shape and has flat folded edges.  The center of the basin is carved with pictures of waterfowl in a lotus pond, including lotus, lotus pods, cranes, mandarin ducks, dragonflies and grass.?The pattern is carved with floral patterns on the flat folded edge. It can be said that the composition is dense and the carving is exquisite.  Judging from the composition style of the pattern and the craftsmanship characteristics, this copper basin should be a product of the Yuan Dynasty and should be a representative work of the copper craftsmanship of the Yuan Dynasty.  However, Chu Chen felt that it was a pity that the surface of this copper basin was severely corroded because it had been used to feed pigs all year round. This had a great impact on its value. If it was in relatively good condition, the value of this copper basin would be very high.  It could be more than 100,000, but now, it's only about 30,000.  Of course, 30,000 yuan was already considered a huge sum of money to the villagers present. Rural areas were very particular about keeping their wealth secret, so Chu Chen pulled Er Lunzi aside and then told him the price.  For a moment.  "What, thirty thousand yuan!" Er Lunzi exclaimed with a look of disbelief on his face.  "This idiot has no brains!" Chu Chen slapped his forehead, and when he shouted, it would be known to everyone in the world. It is estimated that everyone will go back to get the pig food bowl in a while.  The facts were indeed similar to what Chu Chen thought. I heard that Erluzi¡¯s pig food bowl was actually worth 30,000 yuan. After the scene was quiet for a while, it immediately started to boil.  "My mother, such a pig food bowl is actually worth 30,000 yuan. Mother, please pinch me. Am I dreaming? Oh, it seems to be real! It's just a pig.  The pig food bowl is actually worth 30,000 yuan, what¡¯s wrong with the world!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not the world, it¡¯s the stupid guy who feeds pigs with a 30,000 yuan bowl!¡± ¡°No matter how stupid you are, the pig food bowl is worth it!  Thirty thousand yuan, what about you! " "I my pig food bowl is probably worth fifty thousand. I'll bring my pig food bowl over to Chu Wazi to take a look. " "Yes, I'll go too"   For a while, the villagers who had pig food bowls at home all wanted to go home and show their pig food bowls to Chu Chen. Basically everyone felt that their own pig food bowls should also be treasures.  "Everyone, wait a minute!" Chu Chen shouted quickly and stopped the villagers who were about to go home. Then he briefly and clearly introduced to the villagers what antiques are and the factors that determine the market value of antiques.  one time.  Chu Chen¡¯s introduction was very effective and quickly suppressed the enthusiastic emotions of the villagers at the scene.  "So that's what happened!" A villager suddenly said: "By the way, Big Gouzi, I remember that your pig food bowl was probably carved out of rocks from the mountains last year. You actually had the nerve to take it.  Come here to show Chu Wazi?" Dagouzi looked embarrassed and said weakly: "Didn't I forget it in the excitement just now?" After hearing what Dagouzi said, most of them just wanted to go back and get it.  The villagers in the pig food bowl also realized that their own pig food bowl must not meet the requirements. Only a few villagers were ready to go back and get the pig food bowl to try their luck.  At the same time, after repeated questioning, Erluzi finally believed that his "pig food bowl" was indeed worth 30,000 yuan. He immediately cheered, but then he burst into tears again.  The old village chief was speechless and said: "I said Erluzi, this is a happy event, why are you crying!" Erluzi said while crying: "Iif I had known that this basin in my house was worth 30,000 yuan, my mother  There¡¯s no need to leave so early!¡± The old village chief opened his mouth, then patted Er Lengzi on the shoulder and said, ¡°Hey, this is life, who would have known that a pig food bowl would be worth so much!  Things are already like this, so don't cry. Your mother's biggest wish during her lifetime was for you to get married and have children. Now that you have money, you'd better get married as soon as possible, so that your mother can feel at ease even if she is in trouble.  ¡± It should be said that Erluzi¡¯s family is indeed unfortunate. He has lost his father since he was a child, and it was not easy for him and his mother to raise him alone. Also, he had a high fever, which delayed his treatment. Although he recovered, his brain is a little sluggish due to the sequelae.  For a somewhat silly young man, and his family doesn¡¯t have much money, of course no one will marry their daughter to him.  Just like that, two years ago, his mother got sick again. This disease could not be cured in the city, but the medical expenses would be ten or twenty thousand, which was definitely not something Erluzi's family could afford.  In the end, there was no other way but to ask the barefoot doctor to prescribe some medicine for a while, which would make the disease worse and worse, and eventually cost him his life.  It can be regarded as the blessing of his parents in heaven. Since his mother passed away, Erluzi's mind has actually gotten better. Although he is still a little stupid, he can already do farm work and other things by himself.  Chu Chen felt very uncomfortable after hearing the cause and effect. He actually lost his life for ten to twenty thousand yuan. This was too cruel.    And if he knew about this earlier, he would definitely be able to help, but every time he came back, no one mentioned the Er Leng Niang thing to him, and he was not very familiar with the Er Leng family.  , he had no way of knowing about it.  In fact, this is normal. After all, it is ten to twenty thousand yuan. No family in Lujia Village can afford it. If you use yourself to save others, of course no one will tell Chu Chen about this matter.
