Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

Then, the father mentioned that it was difficult to get a three-turn and one-ring bicycle voucher, and promised to try his best to find a way. It would be more convenient for his son to travel after he got married, and he also let his son ride a bicycle to and from get off work.

He smiled and said, "Dad, just enjoy yourself. I will take care of the bicycle issue. If it doesn't work, I will ask Director Yang for help." He mentioned Director Yang mainly to comfort his father.

Ye Changyuan said with a slightly annoyed look: "How can you talk like that? Are you calling Lao Yang the factory director?"

Although I was pleased in my heart, I still wanted to teach him a lesson.

After all, Ye Chuan was able to chat with Director Yang and bring him glory.

Seeing his son grow up, become successful and have a good salary, Ye Changyuan did not stop Ye Chuan from renovating the home.

If the fire pit could be replaced with a bed and equipped with a heater, the space of both rooms would be much more spacious. "Oh, are you two taking a walk?" Yan Bugui, who happened to pass by the middle courtyard, greeted him. "Uncle, what are you busy with?" Ye Changyuan responded enthusiastically.

Ye Chuan just nodded slightly without saying a word, which did not cause any dissatisfaction on the other party.

Ever since he last saw Ye Chuan sitting in the jeep, Yan Bugui realized that Ye Chuan was no ordinary person.

At this time, the residents of the courtyard went out to enjoy the cool air, and Ye Changyuan, being warm-hearted, greeted them one by one.

Ye Chuan followed his father quietly without saying much. "Xiao Ye, where did you get the grapes? They are so fresh?" Qin Huairu asked curiously while holding her newborn daughter Huaihua, noticing that the basket in his hand was full of fresh fruits. "How can they not be fresh if they are just picked from the tree?" Ye Chuan answered casually.

Cao Xishun's daughter-in-law picked seven or eight bunches of grapes, each bunch weighed half a pound, and the whole basket weighed more than ten pounds.

Ye Yongshun gave him a look, suggesting that he share some grapes with his neighbors, but Ye Chuan seemed not to see it and went straight home with the basket.

Qin Huairu stared at the grapes in the basket with saliva dripping from her mouth. Since the Sophora japonica flowers were produced, she had hardly tasted chicken soup, and fresh fruit was even more of a luxury.

When he got home, Ye Yongshun said with a hint of reproach: "Even the daughter-in-law of the Jia family has spoken, don't you plan to share a little?"

Ye Chuan replied: “Dad, don’t be too sympathetic to the people in our yard.

You've heard the saying 'a drop of kindness is repaid with a spring of water'? Giving them food will not only fail to gain gratitude, but may also make them feel that they are entitled.

If one day we don’t give it to you, there will only be complaints!”

Ye Yongshun thought for a moment and felt that what his son said made sense, so he didn't say anything more.

Liu Yue washed two bunches of grapes and put them on a plate. "Lao Cao gave me too much. If I keep them for too long, they will go bad."

Ye Chuan picked up the grapes one by one and tasted them. The sweet and sour taste was intoxicating. While enjoying the food, he suggested: "Mom, the remaining grapes can be made into wine. Not only is it delicious, but it is also good for the stomach."

"Good idea, I'll do it!" Liu Yue's eyes suddenly lit up.

After eating grapes and washing up, Ye Chuan returned to his room, and his parents went to bed.

When he spread out his bedding and was about to go to bed, he suddenly remembered the Ming-style Huanghuali chair in the system space.

He had never taken it out to look at it since he got it, and the chair could fall apart at any time.

Just take this opportunity to repair it.

Ye Chuan took out the Ming Dynasty Huanghuali chair from the system space, and dust immediately rose up, causing him to cough a few times.

The chair had fallen into disrepair over the years, the wood had lost its luster, moth-eaten spots were visible, the legs connecting the chairs had rotted away, and the copper accessories were rusted and green.

The originally intricately carved parts are almost unrecognizable.

If there is no improvement, after a few more years, it will probably become just a pile of dregs that will fall apart at the slightest touch.

He called the system and whispered, "Repair!"

"Ding Dong, repair the Ming Dynasty Huanghuali chair, do you want to start? Primary repair consumes 750 energy points, and full repair requires 500 energy points. Please decide, host."

Ye Chuan: (complaining in his mind) #$^%#@!

He felt really regretful. He had finally accumulated more than a thousand yuan in energy reserves, but repairing a chair almost consumed half of it.

The good luck just now seemed to disappear without a trace. Would the system cheat him?

Even though the cost of repairing it was as high as 750 energy points, Ye Chuan still chose to repair it. After all, the chair was an antique, not a machine. Choosing a comprehensive repair for the sake of cheapness would simply be digging his own grave.

He chose the primary repair. "Primary repair!" Ye Chuan agreed silently. "Ding Dong! Repair successful! Consume 750 energy points!"

In a flash of light, the dilapidated armchair turned into a Ming-style Huanghuali chair that exuded ancient charm and luster.

Before I could savor the beauty of this restoration, the mechanical sound of the system in my mind sounded again. "Ding! The system has been upgraded to level 5."

"Ding! A big update package has been obtained. Would you like to open it?"

The successive messages made him ecstatic. He had not expected the system to upgrade so quickly. "Open!" Ye Chuan answered without hesitation. "Ding! Open the upgrade package! Congratulations on obtaining the master-level Tai Chi, entry-level Tai Chi sword, advanced Japanese skills, and concentrated longevity liquid."

"Ding! Congratulations on the system space expanding to cubic meters!"

Click to enter the personal data page, and the newly added data will be displayed:

- System level: 5

- System space: cubic meters

- Name: Ye Chuan

- Age: 20

- Occupation: Scavenger

- Energy: 1076 points

- Amount: Yuan (RMB)

- Items: Concentrated anti-aging serum, Concentrated longevity serum

- Skills: Advanced Identification, Advanced Carving, Advanced Calligraphy, Intermediate Electrical Technology, Advanced English, Intermediate Hypnosis, Master Tai Chi, Entry-level Tai Chi Sword, Advanced Japanese

The anti-aging and longevity concentrates are given by the system, so only these two items are listed in the inventory.

The longevity concentrate is different from the anti-aging essence, it only comes in a small bottle of 100 grams.

The introduction says: It must be diluted a hundred times, and long-term use can prolong life and eliminate hidden diseases in the body.

In Ye Chuan's opinion, this means that by taking it, people can age healthily instead of dying of illness - isn't this the state that everyone dreams of?

He also understands Tai Chi and Tai Chi sword.

But that advanced Japanese? Living in a place with many volcanoes and island nations is not an option for him, whether it is the 1960s or the 21st century.

After checking the system upgrade, Ye Chuan turned his attention back to the bright yellow rosewood chair.

After systematic restoration, the chair has regained its original charm, and the passage of time has given the whole a strong historical feel.

The wood grain of the chair's legs, handles and backrest is shiny, and the delicately carved patterns and totems are clearly visible. What is surprising is that there is a lifelike dragon carved on the backrest.

There are two dragon heads carved under the handles on both sides, exuding a majestic atmosphere, as if possessing the noble aura of the royal family.

In ancient times, such chairs were only used by distinguished people. The fact that a dragon was carved on the chair meant that it could only be a palace relic, perhaps specially made for the emperor's tour.

But how this thing came into his hands from the folks, Ye Chuan had no idea.

Even the princes who were granted fiefs in various places did not dare to carve dragon patterns on their seats at will. This was a serious taboo and would result in their property being confiscated.

The Huanghuali chairs in ordinary households can be worth millions of yuan if they are exquisitely carved in later generations, but the royal chairs are of course a different matter.

For this chair, the target price set by Ye Chuan is a not small one.

During the restoration process, the chair was left flawless, with the copper parts and handles turning a dark brown and forming a thick patina.

After putting the chair away in the system space, Ye Chuan checked the time and found it was already past noon, so he went to bed and fell asleep.

It was not until the next morning that he mustered up the courage to contact Director Sun again and ask to borrow a truck.

The truck driver who drove the truck yesterday came again, which made Ye Chuan a little embarrassed, but this did not affect the driver. After all, this was a daily job and he could do it anywhere.

Ye Chuan came to Hongyi Furniture Factory in a car.

The factory is very small, with only about a hundred employees.

It used to be a relatively large market town, and Cao Xishun's position in this place was irreplaceable.

About a few years ago, the factory was transformed into a public-private partnership and is currently managed entirely by the public sector manager, while the private sector manager sits back and watches - just give him enough money and he enjoys walking and drinking at home.

Cao Xishun's eyes lit up when he saw the raw wood that Ye Chuan brought. "Uncle Cao, with all your years of experience, haven't you seen Brazilian mahogany before?" Ye Chuan said half-jokingly. "I have indeed seen a lot of Brazilian mahogany, but the quality is not as good as this one. It has strong oiliness and is most suitable for making floors." Cao Xishun responded, somewhat surprised at the good quality of the wood. "Is it really that good?" Ye Chuan seemed a little surprised.

Cao Xishun nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I dare say that this piece was obtained by your Beijing Furniture Factory. It is said that the factory director, Mr. Qiu, personally went to South America to select this batch of materials. Half of them will be made into high-end furniture, and the other half may be used for repairs in special departments."

"Uncle Cao's eyes are really sharp!"

Ye Chuan was moved. After hearing what Cao Xishun said, he had already thought of getting some of this high-quality wood again. "Don't worry, you will need these materials. I will go to your place tonight to measure the size and cut them into boards as soon as possible. I guarantee that it will not delay your wedding plan!" Cao Xishun promised. "Thank you, Uncle Cao." Ye Chuan said with a smile.

Cao Xishun looked at Ye Chuan who was walking away, his expression lost in thought.

He had a close relationship with Ye Yongshun and had known Ye Chuan for a long time, but their friendship was not very deep and the young man was originally taciturn.

Now Ye Chuan seems to have suddenly been reborn, and his ability to handle things is astonishing.

The fact that he was able to obtain such high-quality wood and easily rent a Jiefang truck to go on the road showed his extraordinary strength.

Cao Xishun's eldest son came over and asked, "Dad, what are you thinking about?"

"Big Brother, Xiaochuan is an amazing guy. We should get in touch with him more often in the future," he exclaimed.

After hearing the news, Ye Chuan went to the warehouse near Zhengyangmen again that afternoon.

The two security guards there recognized him, and after they packed a few packages of Daqianmen, he entered the warehouse smoothly.

This time, he chose the 10-meter-long tree trunk and put it into the system space. With the system upgraded to cubic meters, it was a piece of cake to move such a large object.

There were a total of 60,000 tons of logs in the entire warehouse. This small amount would not attract any attention at all. Ye Chuan walked out easily and the security guard did not notice.
