He mustered up the courage to approach and chat with Grandpa Guan about antiques. The two chatted happily, and Yang Ming took the opportunity to show off his collection.

After seeing Yang Ming's collection, Mr. Guan could not help but nod in praise. He praised Yang Ming for his vision and courage, and said he was a friend worth making.

Yang Ming nodded and said sincerely: "Sister Su'e, since you are satisfied, then we will do as we said before and make the deal for 400 yuan. This 50 yuan deposit will be regarded as your hard work fee."

When Hou Su'e heard this, a surprised smile appeared on her face. She refused a little, but finally took the money and put it carefully into her pocket.

"Brother Yang Ming, you are such a straightforward person!" Hou Su'e said gratefully, "If you find good things like this in the future, you must think of me."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Of course. Sister Su'e, if you have similar items in the future, just bring them to me. I will still charge you the same price."

Hou Su'e was even happier when she heard this. She felt that she had made a good profit this time, not only did she sell it at a good price, but she also got Yang Ming's promise.

"Brother Yang Ming, you are so kind." Hou Su'e said gratefully, "By the way, my husband has not been in good health recently and is always coughing. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Hearing this, Yang Ming frowned slightly and said, "Sister Su'e, your husband's symptoms may indicate some lung problems. I suggest you take him to the hospital for a full body check-up, especially his lungs."

Hou Su'e felt nervous after hearing this. She knew Yang Ming was a knowledgeable man, and if he said that, there must be some truth to it.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Hou Su'e said gratefully, "Brother Yang Ming, thank you."

Yang Ming waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. Sister Su'e, please go back quickly and don't let your husband wait anxiously."

Hou Su'e nodded and turned to leave Yang Ming's yard. Her heart was filled with gratitude and joy, and she felt that she had really met a noble person this time.

Yang Ming felt a little relieved when he saw Hou Su'e leaving. He knew that he not only made a good deal this time, but also helped someone in need.

He turned back to the house and carefully put the enameled small bowl and Geyao octagonal cup he had just received into his personal space. This space was something he had accidentally obtained. It could store all kinds of items and was very safe. He knew that with this space, he could better protect his treasures.

At this time, a crisp laughter came from the yard. Yang Ming looked up and saw two young girls standing by the flower bed in the middle yard chatting. One of the girls had a fair face. Although her figure was not plump, her bright eyes made people unable to look away. The other girl was tall and curvy, forming a sharp contrast with the former.

Yang Ming smiled slightly, secretly admiring in his heart. He knew that these two girls were daughters of nearby families and often came to his yard to play. He felt that although he was an antique dealer, he could get along well with these young people.

"Hey, aren't these Xiaodang and Huaihua?" Yang Ming was startled and recognized that the two girls were Qin Huairu's daughters. He couldn't help but take a few more glances and secretly admired that Qin Huairu's genes were really strong. Both daughters inherited their mother's beauty and figure.

Xiaodang and Huaihua stood together, like two blooming flowers, attracting Yang Ming's attention. He felt an inexplicable joy in his heart, as if he saw himself when he was young, walking side by side with Qin Huairu on the road of the steel rolling mill. At that time, they were also so youthful.

"Hello, Uncle Yang!" Xiao Dang was the first to break the silence. Her voice was clear and melodious, like a spring in a mountain stream. Huaihua followed closely and also greeted Yang Ming.

"Hello, Xiaodang and Huaihua." Yang Ming responded with a smile, his eyes moving back and forth between the two of them, as if he was admiring a beautiful painting.

"Where are you going?" Yang Ming asked casually.

"Oh, I'm going to the city to look for a job." Xiao Dang replied, with a trace of worry on her face.

"Looking for a job? Why so suddenly?" Yang Ming asked in surprise.

"Yes, there are many young people returning from the countryside in the city now, and it is very difficult to find a job." Xiaodang sighed and continued, "And in our family... you know, my parents are more patriarchal, and Huaihua and I don't have much status in the family..."

Hearing this, Yang Ming couldn't help but frown. He knew the hardships of this era, especially for women, which were full of challenges and difficulties. He looked at Xiaodang and Huaihua, and an inexplicable sympathy and care surged in his heart.

"Have you found a job?" Yang Ming asked with concern.

"Not yet." Xiao Dang shook his head, a trace of helplessness on his face, "I submitted many resumes, but all of them fell into the sea."

Yang Ming was silent for a while, then said: "Xiao Dang, although I have retired, I still have some connections and resources in the steel mill. If you need it, I can help you find out."

Xiao Dang heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Really? Uncle Yang, thank you so much!" Yang Ming smiled and nodded: "We are all family, it is only right to help each other."

Xiaodang felt unwilling. She thought of Yang Jingli and Yang Jingping, who always wore bright and beautiful clothes and had carefree smiles on their faces. But she had to worry about three meals a day. She couldn't help thinking, how great it would be if she was Yang Ming's daughter.

That day, Xiaodang mustered up his courage, walked up to Yang Ming, and asked, "Uncle Yang Ming, did you help Jingli and Jingping find jobs?" Yang Ming smiled and said casually, "Yes, they are still young, and I have to consider their future."

Xiaodang felt envious. She looked at Yang Ming's calm demeanor and was filled with yearning. She imagined that if she were Yang Ming's daughter, she wouldn't have to worry about making a living and could live a carefree life like Jingli and Jingping.

However, she also knew that this was just an unattainable dream. She could only silently bear the pressure of life and endure the stimulation brought to her by the superior conditions of Yang Ming's family.

Yang Ming seemed to see through Xiao Dang's thoughts. He noticed the gleam of envy in Xiao Dang's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He knew that Xiao Dang and Huaihua were both smart children, but it was a pity that their families were poor and they couldn't enjoy a better life.

So, Yang Ming decided to give them a chance.
