"See, boss? I wasn't lying to you, was I? These two chairs are antiques, they're so many years old, take a look."

"It's an old item, but look, the paint's already worn off. Even if it's an old item, it won't fetch a good price."

"Didn't we agree before that you'd pay me a month's salary? You can't go back on your word."

"I brought this to you behind my family's back. If my family finds out, they won't let me sell it!"

Mr. Wang, the furniture buyer, carefully examined the two chairs.

Although they are a bit damaged, these two chairs are indeed high-quality antique furniture, quite old.

It's been at least seventy or eighty years, if not several decades.

It is made of the finest wood.

This wood has a unique, antique aroma.

"Okay, since we've already agreed, I'll give you a month's salary."

The shop owner, Mr. Wang, gave Qin Huairu a month's salary for a man named "027".

Qin Huairu's husband happily pocketed the money, beaming with joy.

Pushing his tricycle, he hurried home.

By the time I got home, it was already daylight.

The sun has just risen.

When the third uncle saw Qin Huairu's man riding back on his tricycle early in the morning, he asked him something.

"Wow, the sun must be rising in the west! You're back so early this morning, what have you been up to?"

"I was helping a friend move. My friend was moving yesterday, so I went to help. I was busy all morning and just got back."

"Your friend moved out quite early."

"Of course! We can't ignore a friend's words. Has our grandpa even eaten yet?"

"No, your aunt hasn't finished cooking yet."

"I need to go back for dinner too, I'm exhausted."

"Hey, you helped your friend move all the way home, but you didn't even provide a meal?"

"How could that be? He'd be offering to feed me, but I still have to go to work. If I eat at his place, I won't be able to get back to work on time."

"Eating is eating no matter where you are, and it's not always at the same time. You really know how to save your friends money."

The third uncle went back to his room to eat.

Li Chaoyang and Lou Xiao'e got up early and busied themselves making breakfast.

Had breakfast.

Li Chaoyang went to the door to push his bicycle.

Suddenly, I realized that the two old chairs I had placed by the door a couple of days ago were gone.

He then shouted to Lou Xiao'e inside the house.

"Honey, you're going to get rid of these two old chairs, right?"

Lou Xiao'e opened the door and came out when she heard the noise.

"No, I didn't call anyone to deal with the chair."

"Then where did those two chairs by the door go?"

"I don't know either. Did someone take it and use it?"

"Go to work quickly, don't be late. I'll ask around later."

After hearing what his wife said, Li Chaoyang rode away on his bicycle.

Lou Xiao'e also glanced at the chair.

It is indeed strange.

These two chairs are still the ones from my parents' house.

When she first married Li Chaoyang, her parents noticed that there wasn't much decent furniture in Li Chaoyang's home.

So he brought two chairs from his own home.

Now that we've replaced the sofa, we find it in the way, so we've put it in the yard.

Lou Xiao'e glanced at it but ignored it.

Go back inside and tidy up.

I went to work too.

I went to my parents' house on my way home from get off work at noon.

While chatting with my mother, I inadvertently mentioned that these two chairs were missing.

"What? Those two chairs are gone? Do you know how much those two chairs are worth?"

"Mom, why are you making such a fuss? They're just two old chairs. They're only worth 5.9 yuan. How much could they be worth?"

“Oh my silly girl, do you know that these two chairs have been passed down from the Qing Dynasty, they belong to your great-grandfather’s generation.”

“Your great-grandfather was a high-ranking official in the Qing Dynasty. This chair is made of the finest sandalwood. Do you think it's valuable? Add to that its historical value, and you'd think it's worth a fortune.”

Lou Xiao'e was a little stunned when she heard this, after all, the chair had already been stolen.

"Why didn't you say so sooner? I thought they were just two old chairs."

"Didn't you see that our house is full of antique decorations? These were passed down from our ancestors and are all made of the finest sandalwood."

"Oh my, my silly girl, those two chairs could be exchanged for half of your mansion?"

"What should we do? It's already lost, where can we look for it?"

"Oh dear, go find Li Chaoyang and ask him to come up with a solution to get those two chairs back as soon as possible."

Upon hearing her mother's words, Lou Xiao'e got up to leave.

"Xiao'e, you should sit here. I'll go find him. You're not very mobile."

Xiao'e's mother looked very anxious.

It's a set, including a dining table.

Xiao'e's mother originally wanted to add some atmosphere to Xiao'e's home.

Unexpectedly, the young couple replaced the two chairs for comfort.

I haven't told Xiao'e's mother yet.

Xiao'e became very anxious when she heard her mother say that the chair was very valuable.

I went with my mother to Li Chaoyang's workplace to find him.

At this moment, Li Chaoyang was explaining his work to Fang Yaoyao.

Fang Yaoyao is a lively and cheerful girl who speaks very warmly and generously.

He also idolized Li Chaoyang.

When listening to Li Chaoyang speak, every gesture she made revealed her admiring gaze.

"Director Li, could I practice dancing with these choir members?"

"That would be great! If they could sing and dance, our cultural center's choir would be even stronger."

"Director Li, but it's really a bit too much for me to teach so many people all by myself."

"Then why don't you let Liu Yang come with you and give everyone guidance?"

"Director Li, I think it would be better if you came forward in person. Everyone is very familiar with you, and they will listen to what you say."

Li Chaoyang understood; Fang Yaoyao wanted to train the song and dance choir with him.

Actually, I don't have anything planned for the afternoon, so it's not like I can't do it.

“Okay, I’ll go too when all the people who are joining the choir arrive.”

"Director Li, where are you going for lunch? How about I treat you? I know a steamed bun shop up ahead, their steamed buns are delicious."

"You want to eat steamed buns? Then aren't you going home?"

"It's quite far from home, so I go home after get off work and have lunch here."

"I can't go eat steamed buns, I have to go home and cook for my wife."

"Director Li, you are such a good husband."

"I am over-flattered."

The two walked out of Li Chaoyang's office while talking.
