Rebirth and the Beautiful Soaring

Chapter 032 [Ancient Charm]

A weekend filled with diverse accents from all over the country, a collection and exchange of two hundred major items.

"Two Hundred Greats" is a well-known name among antique collectors in Wulin City and even the surrounding provinces and cities.

The Erbaida Antique Market, located on Hushu South Road in Wulin City, is one of the oldest antique markets in Wulin City.

The Erbaida Collectibles Market mainly deals in stamps, coins, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, jade, and miscellaneous items, with a focus on collectibles with folk customs.

However, the most attractive place for antique collectors among the top 200 is the street market that is open every weekend.

At this time of year, people rushing to shop on Taobao early will flock from the surrounding areas of Wulin City, quickly making the market crowded and packed with people.

The vendors set up stalls one after another, filling the parking lot and open space outside the market. The dazzling array of collectibles, artworks and trinkets made people linger, stopping to look or haggle. The lively scene was even jokingly referred to as the "Panjiayuan" of Wulin City.

Although Yu Fei was not a collector, he had lived in Wulin City for many years in his previous life. He had not only heard of this place called "Two Hundred Great", but had also bought gifts here several times as presents.

Coincidentally, the second day after he arrived in Wulin City was August 24th, which happened to be a Saturday, and there was a street market.

Early in the morning, he took a car to the collectibles trading market in the Erbaida area.

He naturally couldn't report to his grandfather about coming here to sell Yuan Shikai silver dollars.

However, on his way back from Grandma Lou's house last night, Grandpa received a call from the leaders of the Academy of Fine Arts, asking him to attend an art exhibition appraisal meeting tomorrow morning, so he was free for the day.

Thinking of this, Yu Fei inexplicably recalled the somewhat resentful look in Chen Shuting's eyes when he left Grandma Lou's house.

Yu Fei was very pleased with his wise decision at the time; otherwise, if he had stayed in her room and seen or touched things he shouldn't have, he would have been unable to extricate himself from the situation.

Yu Fei felt it was better to maintain a relatively distant relationship with Chen Shuting, just like in his previous life.

Speaking of last night, something else happened that Yu Fei found meaningful.

That was when he received a call from his father, Yu Ming, across the ocean, and their relationship was substantially improved, even elevated.

To be honest, Yu Fei felt a little awkward talking to this relative who had been rather indifferent in his previous life.

However, Yu Fei is a reborn person, at the age of forty, and he understands better that his parents are blood relatives who can never be severed, so he decides to change his attitude.

It is said that character determines destiny, and details determine success or failure.

Attitude is actually a concrete manifestation of personality and the degree of attention to detail.

Whether communication between people is smooth or not is closely related to the attitudes of both parties.

If you are willing to communicate and have a respectful attitude towards each other, then communication will naturally go smoothly.

If you are unwilling to communicate and have a negative view of the other party, how can communication be smooth?

As a father, Yu Fei's changes are naturally easy to sense.

So Yu Ming was also very happy and willing to share his interesting experiences living there with his son, and of course, he asked more about his son's growth.

Compared to the ignorance and inability to speak of people in that era, Yu Fei, who has experienced twenty years of ups and downs in the business world, is now a master of communication.

He easily found out through subtle questioning that his father still had deep feelings for his mother.

In reality, there are many examples of people who deeply love each other but become strangers, and movies and television have portrayed this far enough.

Since Yu Fei understood that his parents loved each other, he felt that having the opportunity to help them reconcile was a beautiful happiness that he could not achieve in his previous life.

As for the uncle from his previous life who had pursued his mother for many years without success, he could only apologize in his heart. After all, there are differences in closeness, and he was now more willing to support his father.

Yu Fei shook his head and smiled to himself, not dwelling on it any longer. After all, this was outside, and he needed to remain vigilant at all times.

He knew that thieves would swarm around the area whenever the market was open.

Before even entering the market, the bustling noise inside could already faintly reach Yu Fei's ears.

As he stepped inside, the bustling "200" crowd from his past life sprang to mind and materialized into reality.

Of course, in reality, the current market situation is much smaller compared to the scale of later generations.

After all, in 1996, people's pockets were not nearly as bulging as they are in later years.

Besides the street market, there are also shops run by professional collectible companies.

Yu Fei didn't visit the market; he wasn't very interested in collectibles.

He wouldn't even consider taking advantage of a bargain, because as a reborn being, he has neither golden eyes that can see through things, nor golden ears that can hear antiques speak, nor of course a golden nose that can smell the secrets of heaven.

So he acted decisively, heading straight to a shop called "Ancient Charm".

The reason I chose this shop, besides being the largest here, is that the female owner is very honest and trustworthy.

In his previous life, Yu Fei had bought antiques here several times as gifts. Once, after buying an antique jade, he didn't know that the jade was a fake. Just as he was about to give it away, the shop owner called Yu Fei, explained the situation, and personally came to apologize, allowing him to choose another antique jade instead.

This also led him to become friends with the female owner of the place. Although they weren't close friends, they got along quite well.

The female owner's name is Gu Yun, and the shop is named after her.

Gu Yun was more than ten years older than him, and in his previous life he always called her Sister Gu.

When Yu Fei entered the shop, he immediately saw Sister Gu. She looked mature in her early thirties and had a classical beauty that was truly captivating.

"What would you like to buy, young man?" Gu Yun asked with a charming smile.

Gu Yun had been a teacher for several years, and her way of addressing students as "classmates" sounded quite warm and friendly.

Yu Fei couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. This was perhaps the helplessness of rebirth. All the people he had met in his previous life had to be met again. And based on the butterfly effect, some of them might never be seen again, completely abandoned in the long corridor of history.

Shaking his head inwardly, Yu Fei smiled slightly and said, "Boss, I'm not buying anything, but I have some silver dollars. I wonder if you accept them?"

Gu Yun was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "I will accept it! But you seem to be quite young, so it would probably be better if your parents came over."

Yu Fei wasn't in a hurry and chuckled, "Boss, you don't need to worry. I'm already sixteen years old. According to the labor law, I'm old enough to officially start working."

Seeing Yu Fei's calm demeanor, it seemed he wasn't stealing things from home to sell. Gu Yun smiled and said, "Alright, then take out the Yuan Shikai silver dollar and let me see it. The prices of these things vary greatly."
