4. Discovery

The coal blocks in the furnace have no trace of burning. This means that the coal blocks are filled in without a fire source in the furnace. Because this kind of coal block is very easy to attract, as long as there is a fire source, it will definitely rise.

If there is no fire source, why fill the coal in? Could it be that there is something hidden in the stove and it needs to be blocked with coal?

He poured it back, took off the iron cover on the stove, and took out the coals in the stove piece by piece with his hands.

The first layer of the coal was quickly taken out, and a black round edge was exposed.

Is this an inner shell in the furnace or something hidden? Yao Yuan couldn't see it, so he continued to dig it out.

The coal block was taken out again, and the round edge began to close, and the inclination of the closing was very large. This was definitely not the inner liner of the furnace.

He took out another layer of coal, and Yao Yuan had already seen that it was something like a vase mouth, but it was not ceramic, it should be a metal.

He took out some coal in the vase's mouth, and Yao Yuan reached in, held the vase's mouth, and took out the thing.

This thing is indeed like a vase, with an open mouth on it, and then it becomes thinner and thinner, forming a bottleneck. Below the bottleneck is a round belly. There are three claws under the round belly, which looks like three sitting mice, with a pointed mouth, a nose, ears, and a round belly. There is a small hole in the belly, which should be the navel.

The three little mice were exactly the same, with their back paws on the ground, and their front paws held their round belly, looking cute. On the belly of the vase, there were cloud patterns with clouds with characters like leopards and relief cloud patterns, which were solemn and simple.

Yao Yuan saw that this thing was bronze. Moreover, he seemed to have seen it from a picture album that this thing is not a vase, but a bottle, but a utensil for the ancients to hold wine. The space supported by the three little mice below is used to heat the wine in the wine utensil with charcoal fire.

If it is bronze, it should be something from the Shang, Zhou and Warring States Period, which is worth a lot of money!

He put the coal on the ground back into the stove, covered the stove cover, cleaned the floor, and took the thing back to the house where he lived. He scooped water from the water tank into the basin on the basin rack, and then carefully put the thing into the basin and cleaned the coal ash outside.

After washing it, I found a rag to wipe it again, and the thing revealed its original appearance.

The surface of this thing has been covered with a layer of dark patina and a lot of green rust spots, which further proves that it is a bronze ware. Moreover, the relief on the belly and the three little mice used for claws are very exquisite and round, without any flaws.

In this era, there is no such thing as a counterfeit, and this thing should be a priceless antique.

It was probably because Uncle Yao's father was confiscated. He couldn't bear to let the thing be confiscated, so he hurriedly stuffed it into the stove and stuffed the furnace with coal blocks.

Those who searched the house only paid attention to rummaging on the bookcase and desk in his inner room, but did not expect that there would be something in the furnace of the outer room. Or, like him, opened the furnace cover and saw that it was filled with coal, but did not expect that there would be something under the coal.

Later, his father committed suicide, and they left nothing and never came again.

If this thing is placed in the future, it will be worth at least one million, or even tens of millions. If it is an orphan product used by the nobles of the princes, it is possible to have hundreds of millions of dollars!

Become rich!

After being excited for less than five minutes, Yao Yuan couldn't be happy anymore.

It's only been 1970 years now, and this thing can be sold, and it has to wait for at least twenty years. More than twenty years ago, this thing was worthless!

But how did he survive the past twenty years? Moreover, if someone discovers this thing, it will definitely be confiscated, and they will even smash it into pieces by them. What crime will he be charged?

At present, this thing is not a treasure, but a burden.

But no matter what, this thing will be valuable in the future, so he can't just throw it away.

After thinking for a long time, he found a piece of oil cloth from the kitchen outside, wrapped it tightly, wandered around the two houses for a long time, and dragged out the old sewing machine placed in the northeast corner of the inner room.

The floor of the house was paved with a layer of blue bricks. He dug out the four blue bricks under the sewing machine, dug a hole below, put the thing in, refilling the soil, and then laying the blue bricks back to their original position, and bringing the excess soil into the yard.

Just as everything was restored to its original state, Aunt Jiang had already opened the yard gate and came in, standing in the yard and shouting, "Dasha, where is it? You've had a meal!"

He followed Aunt Jiang to her house and asked behind her, "Check, are you okay?"

As he walked, Aunt Jiang told him: "The school is from our own factory. I went from the principal to the academic director and said one by one that they were scolded. The resistance was ignorant, and you were not sensible. Why didn't you send your children to the Corps? Isn't this bullying my widow? Why am I also a military family member. I don't care about what others dare not say, and I say whatever I think of. They dare not not to make a new statement for me.

No matter what, it’s thanks to you. You’re so stupid. You’re not stupid at all, but you can’t say it. Why didn’t you see it before? No wonder you’re stupid and your mother is unhappy. You’re not stupid at all!"

As he spoke, he had already arrived at Aunt Jiang's house. Jiang Meimei had already returned. The little girl was wearing a green plaid jacket, black pants, black cloth shoes, and had short hair. She had two hairs combed, and was squinted behind her head. Her little face was still as childish as a flower girl, and she looked like her mother. She would definitely be a beautiful girl in the future.

Jiang Meimei was cleaning the dining table in the room. When she saw Yao Yuan coming in, she greeted him and said, "Silly Brother is here? Sit down and wait for dinner."

Yao Yuan just giggled.

When Aunt Jiang heard this, she said to her daughter: "Don't call him stupid brother in the future, your stupid brother is not stupid at all!"

Jiang Meimei asked her mother: "He is just Yao Dasha. Why don't I call him stupid brother?"

Aunt Jiang thought about it and said, "Yes, why did you say the old factory manager give you a name? Your father is not educated, your mother is a capitalist lady. She can't find anyone who is more knowledgeable than her in the mining machine. Why did you give you such a name? Isn't this a good child stupid?"

After putting down this topic, Aunt Jiang asked Jiang Meimei: "Where is your sister, why haven't she come back yet? Where have she died?"

Jiang Meimei sat next to Yao Yuan in front of the dining table, rolling her eyes at her mother, muttering: "You don't know where she goes, where I go?"

As he was talking, someone came in outside and shouted at Aunt Jiang: "Mom, who asked you to take my volunteer form back?"

This should be Jiang Kangkang.

Like her mother, Jiang Kangkang had two short braids on his head. The only difference was that he wore a green military uniform and a green military cap, and a wide-edged armed belt on his waist, and a five-pointed star on his buckle. Not only that, even his feet were wearing green rubber shoes, the kind worn by soldiers in the past.

In Yao Yuan's opinion, Jiang Kangkang's outfit should be considered an old antique, rustic. But even so, she still cannot erase her beautiful true colors. She has big eyes, high nose, melon-shaped face, and a white face. This blush is not drawn by modern girls with chalk, but it is naturally present. The true colors of a healthy girl. A tie of arms shows the maturity and grace of a woman. No wonder Zhang Jianjun fell in love with her and made her wrong idea.

Compared with the budding ginger Meimei, this is a blooming rose.

Aunt Jiang said calmly, "If you are not my daughter, you can go wherever you like, and I don't care if you go to the sky. You are my daughter, you have to listen to me! I asked you principals, you have graduated and you will not go to school anymore, so you don't have to go to school anymore. From tomorrow, you are not allowed to go anywhere, stay at home honestly. If you dare to go out of this door, I will break your legs!"

Jiang Kangkang shouted anxiously: "What do you understand that old capitalist roader? The revolutionary situation is so good now. We must continue to fight and don't let him talk nonsense!"

"Fart!" Aunt Jiang became angry and shouted at her daughter, "Principal Wang is a knowledgeable person and has been working underground for a long time. When she was young, she had made much progress than you little kids who didn't know anything! This world cannot be separated from knowledge at any time, and knowledge is worthy of respect everywhere! You are a bunch of fools. You are just a bunch of fools. You are just a bunch of fools who are about to learn knowledge, and sooner or later you will regret it!"

Jiang Kangkang did not dare to talk back, so he began to act coquettishly and shouted to her mother: "Oh, Mom! Your old ideas can no longer keep up with the wheel of the times! I have agreed with Liu Xia and the others to respond to the call of the great leader and go to the place where the revolution needs the most! If you have sucked my volunteer form like this, how can I explain it to them?"

Aunt Jiang said, "You can explain as much as you want! Now, the place you need most is that the closer you are to your mother, the better. Mom is not able to keep you, and we have to go to the countryside. But Mom can't just let you do whatever you want! Stay at home and wait for notifications. If you dare to run outside again, see how I deal with you!"

Jiang Kangkang pouted and stood on the ground without moving.

Aunt Jiang asked her, "What are you doing? You have to wait for me to find a sedan chair to carry you?" and shouted, "Wash your hands and sit down and have a meal!"

At this time, Jiang Meimei had already brought the rice in the kitchen to the low table. It was still steamed buns of porridge, but there was a large bowl of cabbage in the middle, without meat, and not much oil and water. The soup was almost flowing out of the bowl.

Jiang Kangkang went to the basin rack to wash his hands, sat angrily opposite Yao Yuan, picked up a steamed bun, and took the chopsticks to eat.

Aunt Jiang also sat down, saw Jiang Kangkang humming in anger, and then muttered: "It's eighteen years old, it's all adults, and it's still so uncontrollable all day long. You said you're a damn girl, how much more do you have to worry about you? It's better to worry about your sister!"

At this time, Yao Yuan said, "Silly...silly!"

Aunt Jiang was stunned when she heard this, then smiled and said to Jiang Kangkang: "No, even he knows you are stupid!"

Jiang Kangkang couldn't help but become angry and shouted at Yao Yuan with angrily: "You Yao Dasha, you are stupid, you are a fool!"

After dinner, one of the sisters went to wash the dishes and the other cleaned the table and swept the floor.
