Chapter 34: Little Sister—Liu Zhiruo Returns Home (Part )
"Woo woo~ Brother, you are back. It has been so many years. Have you forgotten what I look like~"

"How could that be? No matter who I forget, I will never forget our eldest daughter. Hahahaha."

……

"Brother, are these all for me?"

"Wow~ Thank you, you are so kind to me. I am so happy today..."

Looking at the Hero brand pens, ink, women's hairpins, small leather shoes, and a roll of floral fabric, more than 30 feet long, enough to make two dresses.

Liu Zhiruo was eating White Rabbit milk candy and felt very happy. She felt that she had never been as rich as she was today.

Her laughter was as clear as crystal, conveying pure joy and happiness.

Aunt Liu on the side also smiled happily, watching the interaction between the brother and sister.

Seeing her daughter trying to put the candy into her mouth, he stepped forward and snatched it away.

He tapped her head with his right finger, neither too hard nor too lightly.

"You silly girl, you don't want to eat anymore? Do you think you can finish a bag of candy in one go~"

The girl pretended to be wronged and complained to Liu Zhiye:

"Brother, look at our mom, why is she so stingy~"

Liu Zhiye touched his little sister's head with loving eyes.

"Let's go, it's time to go eat. I bought a roast duck from Quanjude, and I'll give you a meat-eating treat today~"

When Liu Zhiruo heard that there was roast duck to eat, he suddenly felt that the toffee was no longer fragrant, and he kept swallowing the saliva in his throat.

She couldn't even remember how long it had been since she had eaten meat. The meals at school were watery and there wasn't even a scrap of meat to be seen.

Even at home, you can't always eat this meat.

Starting in 1957, pork in the city of Chongqing was supplied by ticket. The annual ration of pork per person was only 15 kilograms. Not to mention whether people could afford it, even if they could afford it, they would first cook the fat and then eat the residue.

If you want to eat meat, you can do it during festivals or when someone comes home.

When she heard her elder brother say that they had Quanjude roast duck, she couldn't bear it. She grabbed her brother's arm and walked to the east room impatiently.

Liu Jingzhai, who was sitting on the kang, reprimanded her when he saw her:
"It's not proper for a girl to act crazy and mad~"

Liu Zhiruo was also afraid of his father who was a teacher, so he hid behind his brother and secretly stuck out his tongue.

"Dad, I'm back~"

Liu Jingzhai said "hmm", nodded, and gestured for him to go to the kang to eat.

"Zhiye, tomorrow is the weekend, if you have time, take your little sister out for a walk~"

Liu Zhiye nodded and said:

"Okay, Dad. I just started working and I don't have anything important to do. Don't worry, I'll take care of you."

Liu Jingzhai:
"Okay~ Let's eat first. Eat the roast duck while it's hot. It will become fishy when it gets cold..."

Liu Zhiruo stared at the roast duck in front of him. The skin and meat of the duck were perfectly separated and the aroma was everywhere.

Its temptation attracted her eyes like a magnet, making her salivate and she couldn't wait to taste the delicious food.

She couldn't wait to pick up a piece of duck meat and put it into her mouth.

Mm~ The skin of this roast duck is golden and crispy. Once you bite it, the fragrance immediately fills your mouth, making you intoxicated.

Suddenly their appetite increased and the whole family enjoyed the meal very much.

……

When we were almost done eating, someone outside the house shouted:
"Aunt Liu, is Section Chief Liu home?"

Liu Zhiye was just about to get up to see who it was, but her mother, who was sitting on the edge of the kang and had convenient legs, got out first.

While he was talking, a man was brought in. It turned out to be Guan Dapeng, who was holding a wooden box in his hand.

The boy entered the room and nodded to Liu Jingzhai and said hello:

"Uncle Liu, you are eating~"

Liu Jingzhai, who had disliked Guan Dapeng since childhood, replied with a fake smile:
"I'm eating~ Dapeng~ Do you have anything to do so late at night?"

Guan Dapeng:
"Ah~ Nothing, I just made an appointment with Section Chief Liu~"

Then he also called Liu Zhiye:
"Chief Liu, you are eating too~"

Then he saw Liu Zhiruo sitting next to him. His eyes lit up, and there was something obscene in his eyes. He couldn't help but want to move forward~
"My little sister is back. She is getting prettier and prettier."

Liu Zhiruo had no good feelings towards Guan Dapeng. When she was in junior high school, she was famous in school because of her outstanding appearance.

Guan Dapeng relied on the fact that he was from the same courtyard and thought that he could get the moon first. He was like a sticky candy, wanting to get close to her all the time.
"Guan Dapeng~Who are you calling little sister? I have a name, please call me Liu Zhiruo~"

After saying that, he ignored Guan Dapeng and turned his head away, looking at him indifferently.

Guan Dapeng smiled awkwardly when he saw this. Seeing that everyone disliked him, he was secretly annoyed with the Liu family.

Liu Zhiye saw that his family didn't like Guan Dapeng. So he decided not to let him stay here alone, so he got up from the kang and took him away.

Before leaving, Guan Dapeng turned his head and looked at Liu Zhiruo reluctantly, with an unspeakable desire in his eyes. The obscene look seemed to be able to see through her clothes, making Liu Zhiruo feel uncomfortable.

Liu Zhiye saw all this and was filled with rage, but he could only suppress it temporarily and finish his business.

When he came to Liu Zhiye's room, he looked at Guan Dapeng expressionlessly, signaling him not to beat around the bush and just take it out.

Guan Dapeng didn't say anything more and carefully placed the box on the table.

After opening it, he took out a Ruyi bottle and gently handed it to Liu Zhiye.

"Look, Chief Liu. This is a great item. It came from the palace in the late Qing Dynasty." "It is a Ruyi Zun from the Yongzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty. It is a time-honored brand in Panjiayuan. It was appraised by Manager He of Rongbaozhai. I wanted to buy it at that time, but my grandfather was reluctant to sell it."

Liu Zhiye knew nothing about antiques. It was only because he loved watching live broadcasts like "Appraising Treasures" that he gained some understanding of antiques, but he had never actually bought or sold any of them.

However, few people dare to sell fakes these days. Antiques are not popular nowadays, and there is no market for them, so fakes have no place to sell.

He looked at the Ruyi Zun, a Qing Dynasty Yongzheng Doucai ware. The glaze was clean, the outline of the blue and white was delicate, and the colorful fillings on the glaze were accurate. The "water-dividing method" used for filling the colors made the shape of the vessel beautiful. It was a rare Yongzheng Doucai ware.

Liu Zhiye returned the bottle and said:
"Tell me, how do you sell it?"

Guan Dapeng, who knows how much he can sell it for? He is a fool, and he stole this thing without his parents' knowledge.

"Hey~ Chief Liu, if you like it, just give me some money, I won't be afraid~"

After he got into trouble, his family cut off his source of income. He had no money and couldn't even afford to smoke. He couldn't stand not having cigarettes for a few days. He wanted to pick up cigarette butts on the street.

He could only think of ways to get some money to spend. He didn't dare to steal the money at home, as his family was in urgent need of money. He was really afraid that his father would beat him to death if he dared to touch the money.

This pile of junk, which was neither edible nor drinkable, had been stored in the cellar dug at home for many years. A lot of dust had accumulated on it, and I stole a few of them and sold them, but I guess my family didn't even know about it.

Liu Zhiye touched his chin and asked him:
"Is that all?"

Guan Dapeng was stunned for a moment, then replied:
"Chief Liu, what do you mean?"

Liu Zhiye stared at Guan Dapeng's eyes calmly.

"I'll take this Ruyi bottle. I also like these old items. If you have anything else you want to sell, you can continue to contact me~"

"I'll give you twenty dollars, is that okay with you?"

Guan Dapeng said hesitantly:

"Please add a little more. If it works, I will sell it to you next time~"

"Okay, I'll give you 25 yuan, can you just be quick?"

Guan Dapeng gritted his teeth and stamped his feet:

"Okay~ I'll sell it to you."

One hand pays the other hand delivers the goods.

…………

Guan Dapeng left Liu Zhiye's house and walked towards the back room humming a little tune happily.

"The peach leaves are so pointed that the willow leaves cover the sky~
The Ming ah Gong in his position, listen carefully to what I have to say~
This happened at the Jingxi Indigo Factory.
There was a man named Song in the firearms camp of the Indigo Factory.

Speaking of the Song Lao San and his wife selling opium
I have never had a son in my life, but I gave birth to a daughter, Chanjuan~
Hey, little girl, when you are sixteen
The girl's nickname was removed, and her name is Dalian.
......"

Liu Zhiye followed behind him, and the more he listened, the angrier he became. When he reached the courtyard corridor, he glanced around to see that there was no one around, and then he shouted:
"Guan Dapeng~"

Guan Dapeng was walking in front when he suddenly heard Liu Zhiye's voice coming from behind him.

Thinking that the other party had changed his mind, he turned his head subconsciously:

"I said Liu..."

With a "bang", he was punched in the face. Just as he was about to scream in pain, Liu Zhiye grabbed his neck with his strong right hand and lifted him up.

Because his neck was being strangled, he had difficulty breathing and his mouth was stammering, unable to speak.

He could only helplessly use his hands to pry Liu Zhiye's right hand apart, kicking his feet unconsciously. But Liu Zhiye's hand was like an iron clamp, and he couldn't pry it apart even if he used all his strength.

Liu Zhiye held Guan Dapeng with one hand, and seeing that he was about to roll his eyes, he suddenly threw him onto the cold floor tiles.

With a "bang", Guan Dapeng fell down and felt a sharp pain spreading from his head to his whole body in an instant. He couldn't help but let out a shrill scream.

Then, Liu Zhiye pressed his foot on his cheek, making him unable to shout.

He could only stammer and look as embarrassed as he could.

Liu Zhiye loosened his feet and leaned over, staring fiercely at his frightened eyes.

"Do you know why I hit you?"

Guan Dapeng said terrified:

"No, no, I don't know~"

"Do you want your money back? I'll give it to you right away..."

Liu Zhiye had a gloomy face and squinted his eyes:

"It's not about money. Don't worry, I won't take your things for nothing. If you want to sell old things in the future, you can still come to me~"

"I didn't mean to hit you for any other reason, I just wanted to teach you a lesson~"

"Remember this~ Stay away from my sister in the future. If you have any inappropriate thoughts again, it won't be so easy next time~"

As he said this, he stomped his foot hard, and the bricks on the ground cracked.

Guan Dapeng, who was lying on the ground, trembled and said in horror:

"I dare not, I dare not, absolutely not. I will avoid this girl next time I see her..."

Liu Zhiye then pointed at Guan Dapeng's colorful face and said coldly:
"Remember what you said. Do you know how to explain the wound on your face when you get home?"

Guan Dapeng nodded honestly:
"I know. If my parents ask, I'll just say I fell in the bathroom at night..."

"Well~ Go away~"

Guan Dapeng climbed up as if ordered and ran away in a hurry.
