Chapter 72 Han Chunguang and Han Chunming

Every time Han Chunguang returned home, the first thing he did was to look after his grandmother who was recuperating in bed, and ask her if she needed to go to the toilet or if she was hungry.

My fifth brother Han Chunming usually comes back a little later because he has to receive and count the things brought back by the Young Pioneers.

The second sister, Han Chunyan, is luckier. Her football talent was discovered by her teacher before she entered middle school and was recommended to the Kyoto Huashan Football Training Base. She is currently undergoing intensive training and is expected to be selected for the national football team's youth reserve team.

Han's father passed away early, and Han's mother raised his brothers and sisters with great difficulty. However, due to some reasons, the eldest sister and the fourth sister died one after another, which was a great blow to Han's mother. Her mental state has been not very good, and she could only take care of her children at home.

Grandpa Han is in good health. After retirement, he can't stay idle, so he sweeps the streets. After work, he can also take care of his wife at home.

When she was young, Grandma Han was a very strong-willed person and always wanted to be ahead of others in everything. When Han's father got married, in order to give his in-laws a few more pounds of meat, the old lady took Grandpa Han and Han's father to carry the goods for a day and a night.

Helplessly, he went to the countryside to help with farm work in order to earn some pocket money when he was old. On the way back, he fell down when it was dark. Fortunately, a passerby saved his life, but he never stood up again!

How could Grandma Han bear to wait for death at home like this? She tried to commit suicide several times, which frightened her family so much that they took turns to look after her for a while, not leaving her side.

In order to dissuade his grandmother from committing suicide, the eldest grandson Han Chunguang knelt beside the bed of the old lady who refused to eat or drink for a whole day and night. Since Grandma Han refused to eat or drink, he also refused to eat or drink and knelt for a long time without getting up.

Later, Han Chunming also joined in. Seeing the two brothers sweating profusely and shaking as if they would fall down at any time, Grandma Han finally broke down and burst into tears.

The two brothers knelt in front of the bed, holding their grandmother's hands and crying inconsolably. In the end, the whole family held their heads and cried.

At that time, the neighbors thought that someone in the Han family had passed away, and they rushed over after hearing the noise. What they saw was the Han family hugging each other beside the bed and howling heartbreakingly.

The neighbors were afraid something had happened, so they ran to the bedside and found out that Grandma Han was fine, she was just screaming hysterically. Thinking of how kind the old lady was, the neighbors couldn't help but shed tears.

From then on, the old lady never tried to commit suicide again. She just lay there quietly, spoke in a low voice, ate less, and just smiled from the bottom of her heart when she saw the two brothers. She was careful not to let her family see her tears in the dead of night, and tried her best not to worry her family.

Han Chunguang picked up scraps when he had nothing to do. Later, he found a master to learn how to shave. However, the master died before he could become an apprentice. State-owned barber shops would not accept him, so he could only work as a shampooer in a joint state-private barber shop, which only provided him with one meal and not a penny.

Han Chunming later picked up his elder brother's abandoned business, Wang Daye, and actually got to know the Broken Hou and learned some skills in identifying antiques. Then, by chance, he became the disciple of the Nine Gates Admiral, but for the time being, he did not make any money.

Seeing the boys in the family growing up, Han Chunguang and Han Chunming finally got lucky in the past year. They met Brother Fang Fa and joined the Young Pioneers.

Since joining the Young Pioneers, the two brothers, one a team leader and the other a manager, not only bring a lot of food to the family every day, but also receive a salary and bonus every month, which together earns more than a fifth-level worker.

The Han family's life gradually improved, and the family's debts were basically paid off. Now their only regret is their grandmother's leg and their mother's illness, which are always like a dark shadow lingering in their hearts and can never be shaken off.

In order to fulfill their wish, Han Chunguang and Han Chunming lived frugally and exchanged most of the good food for coarse grains and money, except for leaving a little for their grandfather and others.

The two of them tried their best to save a total of 300 yuan in the past year. For them, this is undoubtedly a huge sum of money, and it is also their hope.

So the two of them are full of energy every day, grateful to each other, and full of hope for the future.

But the reality is cruel. Big hospitals are helpless against my grandmother’s leg injury that has lasted for so many years, and they are also unable to cure my mother’s mental illness.

Just when the two were in despair, Han Chunming's unintentional request for help when he was reporting to Fang Fa yesterday gave them hope again.

"Brother Fang, this is this month's collection. There are 26 bronze wares from the Shang, Zhou and Han dynasties, 122 porcelain wares from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. There are relatively few ancient paintings that are well preserved, but there are more than a dozen volumes from the Tang and Song dynasties that are relatively precious. There are more wooden wares, most of which are from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and some recent stamps from the Republic of China period. They are all here."

Han Chunming gave the sorted account books to Fang Fa.

"Well! It's OK. Thank you for your hard work, Chunming. I heard that you often stay up late to clean up before going home. If you are too busy, you can find a few helpers. Don't worry about the treatment. As long as you have the ability, it won't be a problem. Chunming, do you know the Nine Gates Commander, Old Man Guan, and the Broken Marquis?"

Fang Fa was also worried that there would be too many things for Han Chunming to take care of in the future, so with the addition of a few old seniors, the process should be accelerated. Moreover, these old items were more important to these old seniors than their lives. As long as Fang Fa knew that he was rescuing national treasures and appealed to their emotions and reason, there was no need to worry about these old seniors not cooperating.

"Brother Fang, to be honest, Grandpa Guan is my master, and we are also close friends regardless of age difference. I will try my best to get the position, but my master is not in good health, so he may not be able to do anything!"

In fact, Han Chunming had long wanted to let his master and Pao Piao Hou see the old items he handled every day. He believed that they would be ecstatic to see so many things being preserved every day.

But he was also afraid that Brother Fang had some taboos. Now that Brother Fang had taken the initiative to bring it up, how could Han Chunming not be extremely excited? However, when he thought of his master's old illness, he knew that it was not appropriate to be too happy or too sad. If his master's mood changed too much, it would be easy for him to have serious health problems.

"Well, Chunming, make an appointment with Grandpa Guan and Marquis Paola at Grandpa Guan's house. I'll go visit him and check on him."

Fang Fa calmly told Han Chunming that his master-level medical skills were of no use at all!

"Brother Fang, can you bring someone to treat my master? But the hospital says my master's disease cannot be cured."

Han Chunming looked surprised.

"Just make an appointment. I'm very good at treating illnesses. I can't say I can pull people back from the brink of death, but at least I can help them live a few more years. Stop talking nonsense. The sooner the better. Go ahead and let me know later. I'll be free tomorrow."

After Fang Fa finished speaking, he hurried back to the courtyard.

Soon, Han Chunming ran to Fang Fa's house in the courtyard, sweating profusely.

"Brother Fang, I have an appointment. Tomorrow at noon, Broken Hou will also be there. When they heard that Brother Fang had a lot of old things to entertain them, they were even more anxious than I was. They said they had some good wine to treat you."

"Okay, Chunming, go to Donglaiju again and ask them to send a Shandong cuisine banquet to Grandpa Guan's house at noon tomorrow. I'll go and get some of their good wine."

Fang Fa took out 50 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Han Chunming. "That should be enough. If not, ask me for more. Go ahead."

"Is that enough? I haven't eaten it either. What kind of banquet is so expensive?"

Han Chunming ran out muttering to himself.

The next day.

"Haha..., Mr. Guan, I've heard a lot about you. I'm Fang Fa, from the purchasing department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. I came here today because of your reputation. I apologize for disturbing you. This is just a small gift, not a token of respect."

When Fang Fa was brought into the yard by Han Chunming, he saw Old Man Guan standing up. He immediately greeted him with a smile and took out two wooden boxes.

"Haha... I've heard from you that Section Chief Fang is a very capable person. It's an honor for me to have you visit my humble home! This is Hou Guangfu, you can just call him Broke Hou, please take a seat."

Grandpa Guan and Hou Paolan were also very happy. They had the opportunity to come into contact with a large number of old items. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

After Fang Fa sat down, he placed the two wooden boxes in his hands on the table.

When Grandpa Guan and Marquis Polan saw the wooden box, their breathing immediately stopped.
