Yuan Ni had already had this intention. When she was walking around the streets collecting eggs to exchange for scraps, she discovered that ordinary people had many good items.

Rather than letting these things become cheaper for others, it is better to take them back yourself.

However, she is a working person now. If she goes out for a long time, she has to ask for leave. "When are you leaving? I have to check the time."

Old Mrs. Geng is very easy to talk to. "You go and ask for leave first. The old man and I have retired a long time ago. We are idle people. It mainly depends on you."

Comrade Wang is a kind-hearted person, "I can talk easily."

Yuan Ni smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask for leave first."

After saying goodbye to Comrade Wang, Yuan Ni held the blue and white porcelain jar and walked home with Mr. Geng and Mrs. Geng.

Because the old man and the old lady were really nice to her, the atmosphere became much more cordial when they were chatting.

Yuanni was on guard before, but the old man and the old lady didn't feel offended. They were strangers to each other, and their attitude towards others should be like Yuanni's, like Yuanni's mother, she was just a stupid elder sister.

The old man and the old lady have seen Yuan Ni's abilities and already treat her as their own child. It's not that the old couple favors one and the other, but that all children with abilities are welcome.

Yuan Ni was able to receive a bronze mirror and collect a Yuan blue and white porcelain vase, which in itself speaks volumes.

However, the old couple knew what was appropriate. When chatting on the road, they did not ask any extraordinary questions, but took the initiative to talk about the collection of bronze mirrors.

How to remove rust from antique bronze mirrors and how to maintain them is a science.

Generally speaking, a layer of gold water will ooze out of unearthed bronze mirrors. Wait for the gold water to dry before removing the rust. Do not wipe it hastily, otherwise, the metal surface will be wiped off together.

"For example, the mirror you received has been around for many years. It needs to be removed immediately because the patina is contagious. The more it is stained, the more it will become rusty. Eventually, the entire mirror will be corroded and the thing will become useless." Mr. Geng said solemnly. .

"Then how to remove the rust?" Yuan Ni intuitively felt that the other party would not cheat her, and her attitude became much more modest.

"It's easy to say it's easy, but it's hard to say it's difficult. You have to be patient. First soak it in cold boiled water, use a small brush to brush off everything you can, and then use white vinegar..." Mr. Geng said in detail.

Although he didn't get his hands on that bronze mirror, judging from its appearance, it should be valuable. If he ruined this treasure by improper rust removal, he would regret it.

Yuanni listened very carefully. To be honest, what Mr. Geng said just filled her knowledge blind spot. It was knowledge that she had always wanted to learn but had not learned.

While listening carefully, Yuan Ni also had a strange feeling. What the old man and old lady of the Geng family said must be secrets. Why should they tell her?

The county town is very small, and the three of them soon entered the alley. When they were about to separate, Mr. Geng warned, "You should do it yourself first. If you encounter any problems, just come and ask me."

Yuanni thanked Mr. Geng, went home and hid the jar in the cellar, then went to the work unit to find Master Guo.

She has been working for a while and she hasn't asked for leave yet.

As soon as Master Guo heard that she had something to do, he immediately grinned and said, "What kind of leave are you asking for? We don't want to ask for leave right now, just change shifts."

Master Guo told Yuan Ni that if you ask for leave, your salary will be deducted, and the shift change only needs to be discussed between the two of you.

"I won't have any rest this week. I'm going to work all day. You can come next week and I'll just go back to my hometown in the countryside." Master Guo said.

Yuanni agreed immediately, "Then I'll leave tomorrow?"

"Go ahead. If anything happens, I'll tell you you have a cold and lie down at home."

That's the good thing about public institutions. It's very convenient to take a leave occasionally. It's not like in the countryside. If you lose a day's work, you'll lose a day's work points. There's no need to negotiate.

After asking for leave, Yuanni went home and told her grandma directly, "I want to go to the countryside to collect things, and I have to go for two or three days."

Grandma waved her hand and said, "Go ahead. We are all here and can cook for Zhao Di and Pandi. You don't have to worry."

"Then my mother..."

Yuanni was worried that her mother would go back to her old tricks of turning things around while she was away.

"Haha, I'll let her go back to work in the afternoon." When it comes to cleaning up the mother, grandma has to do it herself.

With grandma's words, Yuanni felt relieved.

Sure enough, during lunch that day, grandma asked Yuan Niniang to go back to work, "You are already a working person, go back quickly and do whatever you need to do."

Yuan Niniang didn’t want to leave, “Isn’t there Dr. Du?”

Grandma threw her chopsticks and said, "You have the nerve to say that? You do odd jobs and Dr. Du is a veterinarian. Do they get your salary? Why are you always staring at me?"

Although it is a big pot, if Yun Niang works less, Dr. Du will work more. It is a matter of friendship and he does not owe Yun Niang.

"I'm leaving, why don't I go back to work? It's a pity that I finally went to the city and didn't even buy a single piece of good clothes..." Yuan Niang felt aggrieved.

Yuanni didn't answer.

Grandpa smiled and said, "Why do you need good clothes? Your job is not like sitting in an office, dealing with animals all day long, so even wearing good clothes is a waste."

Seeing that no one supported her, Yuan Niniang sighed, packed a small baggage after the meal, and went back unhappy.

After she left, Yuan Ni discovered that her mother had taken away the malted milk powder she bought for her grandma and grandpa...

After everything was settled at home, Yuan Ni went to knock on the door next door. The person who opened the door was Mrs. Geng. She was very polite and said, "Girl, are you ready? When can you go out?"

"It can be done tomorrow."

"Okay, let's leave tomorrow."

After settling the matter, Mrs. Geng watched Yuanni leave, and the smile on her face disappeared.

She entered the room and said to the crying Geng Meijuan, "Your grandpa and I are going out with Yuanni. After we leave, it will be your only chance. Whether you can seize it or not depends on you."

Geng Meijuan wiped away her tears and said, "Really? Can I go find Brother Gu Chao?"

Geng Meijuan burst into tears and smiled, hugging Mrs. Geng's neck and acting coquettishly.

"Okay, just say it was me who said it. Whether people buy it or not, I can't control it."

Grandma sighed, she also knew that this was not done in an honest way, and the old man would definitely not agree.

However, Yuanni and Geng Meijuan are both her granddaughters, so they can't look down on Geng Meijuan.

It turned out that Mrs. Geng had selfish motives from the very beginning when she invited Yuanni out.

She wanted to send Yuan Ni away so that Geng Meijuan could get close to Gu Chao.

Of course, the old man didn't know about this. If he knew, he would definitely scold them for being confused.

In order to help her daughter, Geng Meilan was not going to leave. She wanted to stay and give advice to Geng Meijuan.

Just like that, early the next morning, Yuan Ni, Mr. Geng, Mrs. Geng and Comrade Wang got on the bus bound for Shan County together.

As the first stop on the trip, Shan County is not an easy place...
