When Zhao Rui returned home, Sun Xiaolan also returned to her home.

Anyway, it’s Saturday, and my family lives in Dong’an, so I can go home and reunite with my parents, so I can enjoy family happiness and improve my life at the same time.

The porridge in the school cafeteria can be used for bathing, and the rice can be used to kill birds. Naturally, it is far from being comparable to the rich and delicious meals at home.

Although she bought two birthday gifts for her mother at the gate of the academy, Sun Xiaolan kept quiet and planned to surprise her mother again on her birthday.

Lying on the bed of her own room, she took out the two things she bought from the academy gate, held them in her hands and played with them carefully.

Zhao Rui helped her choose these two items. One is a bronze Buddha statue from the Qing Dynasty, and the other is a snuff bottle from the Cixi period of the Qing Dynasty.

Although the peddler who sold these two items boasted that these two items were rare treasures, she would never think that these two items were genuine. Because these two things added up, it only cost her a total of one hundred and fifty yuan.

How can there be such a cheap baby in the world

Besides, those vendors selling antiques at the Academy Gate are more cunning and cunning than the other, and it is impossible to make a loss-making business. As for picking up leaks, you might still encounter them frequently twenty or thirty years ago, but now it is very difficult to meet opportunities for picking up leaks It's hard.

Even if those antique dealers really misjudged and sold the treasures as fakes, Sun Xiaolan felt that with Zhao Rui's vision and luck, it would be impossible to pick them out. Because he just spent 2,000 yuan to buy a fake jade plaque, and he was ridiculed.

"Poor Xiaorui, I cheated two thousand yuan from the profiteers of Jibaozhai, that's a few months' living expenses." Sun Xiaolan muttered sympathetically, wondering if she should comfort him.

After playing with the two items in her hand for a while, Sun Xiaolan decided to pack them well before giving them to her mother.

Although she had already decided in her heart that the bronze Buddha and the snuff bottle were fakes, they were all exquisitely made and looked very good as decorations at home, so Sun Xiaolan was still very satisfied, and felt that her one hundred and fifty yuan was not in vain.

A week passed in a flash, and Xiaolan's mother's birthday also arrived. Sun Xiaolan packed the two antiques carefully, and then called Zhao Rui to go to her house for lunch.

"Miss Xiaolan, I haven't prepared a gift for my aunt yet, Kong."

"Who said I wasn't prepared? Didn't you pick two things for me when I went back to the academy gate? Count it as one of yours. Although they are all imitations, they look very delicate. I packed them again, and my mother must be satisfied." .”

imitation? Miss Xiaolan, that is the genuine product at a fair price! You have too little confidence in me.

Zhao Rui muttered something in his heart, but he didn't say anything, just smiled, and followed Sun Xiaolan to her house.

Sun Xiaolan's father is a university professor, and her mother is a music teacher. They are relatively kind people. After Zhao Rui's parents passed away, they have always taken good care of Zhao Rui. Every festival, they would call Zhao Rui to their house for dinner. For the relationship between Sun Xiaolan and Zhao Rui They never stop their communication.

When Zhao Rui came in, the food was already on the table, Xiaolan's mother was sitting at the table dressed up, and her father was holding a bottle of Great Wall dry red, looking for a corkscrew everywhere, seeing Zhao Rui coming in, Xiaolan's mother He waved his hand and said, "Xiao Rui is here! Sit down quickly. You can eat right away."

Zhao Rui smiled and cupped his hands and made a bow: "Auntie, I wish you good health and all the best, and you will become younger and more beautiful."

Sun Xiaolan's mother was a beauty when she was young. Although she is old now, she still has a bit of charm. She usually pays attention to her image. Hearing Zhao Rui's compliment, she couldn't help but smile like a flower on her face.

"Xiao Rui still has a sweet mouth, come, come, come, sit down."

Sun Xiaolan stretched out her hand and pinched Zhao Rui quietly, as if to blame him for saying all the good things, leaving herself speechless.

"Mom, I also wish you a happy birthday and good health. Here, Xiaorui and I specially prepared two birthday gifts for you." She said, and handed over two exquisitely packaged small wooden boxes.

"Oh, there is a gift. The packaging is very beautiful. I don't know what is inside?" Xiaolan's mother took the gift with a happy face. She didn't care about the value of the gift, but the kindness of her daughter and Zhao Rui made her very happy.

"Open it and have a look and you'll know? Quickly open it and see if you like it." Sun Xiaolan kept urging.

Xiaolan's mother unpacked the package, took out the bronze Buddha and snuff bottle inside, looked at it, and showed a look of surprise on her face: "Oh, these two things are very delicately made, where can I buy them?" of?"

"School gate." Seeing that her mother liked it, Sun Xiaolan couldn't help being very happy, and quickly replied.

"School gate? Are you buying antiques? With the level of the two of you, it's not easy to go there to buy genuine products!" Xiaolan's father had already found the bottle opener, pulled out the cork from the bottle, and poured wine while drinking. explain.

Sun Xiaolan handed him the wine glass and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, I know they are fakes, but they are so exquisitely made, and it only cost more than a hundred yuan, so it's worth it!"

"That's right, it's only over a hundred. It's pretty nice to decorate at home. You just like to pour cold water on others." Xiaolan's mother hurriedly helped her daughter speak.

"Yes, filial piety is rare for a daughter. Come on, show me what kind of treasure my daughter and Xiaorui bought back after spending 150 yuan." Xiaolan's father put down the wine bottle with a smile, and put the bronze Buddha and snuff bottle Take them all in your hands, face the light, and appreciate them carefully.

He is interested in antiques, and he often plays with small gadgets. Although he couldn't find any particularly expensive things due to financial difficulties and lack of opportunities, in general, he still has little research on antiques. , at least much better than her daughter.

After carefully identifying the two items for a long time, Xiaolan's father gradually showed a look of surprise on his face. He found that these two items were not only fakes, but rather expensive antiques!
