Chapter 244 Chunming's Family Affairs
After entering the room, Han Chunming recounted what had happened. Guan Xiaoguan and He Bing only knew the first half and were not aware of the second half.

"Brother Chunming, do you mean that the antique my father got is very valuable?"

"Of course, let me tell you this! They are rare treasures, and they may not be preserved so well in the whole country. Xiao Li, these were originally mine, big brother, that old fox!"

"Brother Chunming, you'd better speak properly. This is because you don't have good eyesight. If you say anything wrong, I will tell my dad!"

"Xiaobing, you weren't like this before. Why do I feel like you're becoming more and more like your father?"

"I am my father's son. Isn't it normal to miss him?"

Han Chunming looked at He Bing speechlessly. He just felt a little unwilling. It was a very painful thing for an antique lover to miss out on such a good thing. Unfortunately, these three people could not understand his pain.

"Well, let's go, grab the snacks and wine and go back quickly. There are some people over there who we can't afford to offend waiting to drink with us."

"Got it!"

He Bing and the other two smiled at each other. They could certainly understand Han Chunming's reluctance. Strangely enough, Han Chunming's hobby was deeply recognized by several people.

Young people rarely have the time to learn how to appraise treasures, at least they have never seen one. Han Chunming is really a rare gem. How could they know that it contains a lot of historical information that may not appear in textbooks, but it does exist.

Antiques are merely carriers of these historical stories, and they are stories passed down by word of mouth among collectors. Many collectors will record these stories in their notes.

Looking at the three puzzled people, Han Chunmei smiled slightly, and while preparing snacks, she told the three hundred people that this was a cultural treasure. In the early days, people were struggling to fill their stomachs, so no one had the extra thoughts to deal with these things. Now that the situation has improved, people are working hard to live a better life. After everyone's warmth problem is solved, they will gradually pay attention to it, and this part of hidden history will gradually appear in front of everyone.

This is the true meaning of collecting. If it is just for money, they can get a lot of money by selling the things they collect, but there are still many things in this world that cannot be bought with money.

Back in Uncle Guan's yard, the three were communicating. This time, whether it was Guan Xiaoguan, He Bing or Xu Jingli, they all listened carefully. They found that many of the stories were very interesting. It seemed that there were some stories behind each antique, either the person who made the antique or the person who collected it. They all had different interests. Of course, they also mentioned the sufferings suffered in modern times.

Each antique carries a different history. The three of them gradually began to take these things seriously. They didn’t understand why these four people were so serious about these things before. Even Xu Jingli didn’t understand why her mother had a special liking for old furniture. At this time, she seemed to understand something. These people are not collecting antiques, but culture!
If He Yukai knew what they were thinking, they would probably blush, right? His original purpose was for money, to leave more things for the children. At that time, he was not so noble. Uncle Guan and the rags may have done it for sentiment, but he wanted to sell it for a high price in the future!

As his career developed, his desire to make money from antiques gradually faded, and it turned into collecting, but still for the sake of the He family's heritage.

Whenever He Yukai has nothing to do, he takes out the handwritten copy of Uncle Guan's notes and studies it in detail. He is fascinated every time he reads it. He Yukai knows all the knowledge recorded by Guan Yu like the back of his hand, but he still takes time to review it carefully to strengthen his memory. If he hadn't read it carefully and learned it thoroughly, he wouldn't be at his current level!

"If we talk about the rising star in the collecting world, we have to mention He Yukai. Whenever we are with him, we are always beaten to the punch by others. I am puzzled. He Yukai never breaks the rules, so why does he always get the biggest harvest?"

"I am the son of luck, Marquis of Tatters. You can envy luck, but it's not something you can get. There's nothing I can do. I am a person blessed by God!"

He Yukai looked at the rags with pride. Was it really luck? Not really. Where did he get so much luck? He did it on purpose last time when Liu the landlord was at home. This was foresight. In their opinion, this was reasonable, but only he knew that if he didn't understand the process, he might not be able to pull it down. He found that this feeling was really good!
There was some luck this time, but it wasn't entirely luck. If Han Chunming wasn't a bootlicker, those two Wanli blue and white porcelains would definitely not have escaped his notice with his keen eyesight. But who made him keep staring at the furniture?
"You just can't stand being praised, but this time the harvest is really big. I kind of believe that it's a bit of luck!"

Poor Hou shook his head. It was really incomparable. Last time, most of them were treasures. This was what they knew. What about what they didn't know? They all had things they didn't know about each other. He had quite a few in his hands. What about others?

Han Chunming, He Yukai, including Grandpa Guan, which one of them is not a hidden master? None of them would show off. This time, it is probably because He Yukai was not sure and brought it to them for identification.

He Yukai was in a very good mood today and felt a lot younger. Good things appeared one after another, and the family business was also on track. He was in a very good mood.

"Xiao Li, I'm going to take He Bing and He Qian to Hong Kong Island in a while, do you want to go?"

"Can I go?"

"Why not go? If you want to go, just go and take a look!"

Do you want to go? Xu Jingli certainly wants to go and have a look. There is more advanced management experience there. She wants to make the hotel bigger and stronger, so advanced management experience is indispensable!
"Then I'll go back and ask my mom for her opinion. If they agree, I'll go with my brother to take a look!"

Han Chunming had a bitter face. He still wanted to get married earlier as he was not young anymore. His mother had already told him this several times.

"Chunming, you don't have to look so sad. Take care of the company's affairs. We have been back for the past few months. It won't be too long. He Bing will take over the security company over there, and He Qian will also take over the investment company. We will come back after they are on the right track!"

"Brat, I think it's better to put it off for now and arrange the children's marriages first. I don't understand your plans. I don't know when the soldier will be back. You can't let my granddaughter wait like this, right?"

"Grandpa..." Grandpa Guan's words made Guan Xiaoguan blush. How could anyone rush to get married? Their family could be more reserved.

"It's time for you two to get married, so what are you hesitating about? Once the wedding is done, it will be over, right? What are you waiting for?"

"That's right, old man. This is what I'm thinking. I've already bought all the houses in Nanluoguxiang. Now 'Yangzi Lei' is supervising the construction, and his apprentice is rushing to complete it. It's estimated to be completed in one or two months. Then we can hold the wedding. We won't go to Hong Kong Island now. We'll go there after the Chinese New Year. The children still have a lot of work to do now. It's not like back then when they could just leave and leave. They still have to hand over their work later. There's no rush!"

"That's good. There are still several months left. There's really no need to rush!"

"Well, the wedding will be held in a private restaurant. After the wedding, just pick up your brides and hold it together. He Bing, He Xiao, and He Jiang will hold their weddings together. As for Chunming, you can go back and ask your mother for her opinion. If she has no objection, the four of you can hold it together!
Now there are not so many details. When the time comes, we can all go to the private restaurant to eat together. The central courtyard there is big enough, so we can have a group wedding. If you want to do it yourself, that's fine. You can take care of it when the time comes!"

"Got it!"

After hearing what He Yukai said, Han Chunming finally felt better. There was no need to delay any further, and the feeling of loss for not getting the antique no longer existed. If it were him, he would be willing to do it together, but his mother still had to ask.

Han Chunming's home
"Mom, this is what my eldest brother said. Look at this..."

"Xiao Wuzi, let's do it ourselves! Don't bother them. Xiao Li is Director He's sister. What's the point of having the wedding at their place? It won't look good to the neighbors. People who don't know will think you're marrying into their son-in-law's family."

Han's mother thought about it for a long time and decided to hold the wedding in the hotel. Everyone in their compound knew about the relationship between He Yukai and Xu Jingli, so they wanted to avoid any rumors.

Since Han Chunming followed He Yukai, the family conditions have improved visibly. Han Chunming and Han Chunyan manage He Yukai's construction company and pay him a lot of salary. They are already at the top of the pyramid in the compound. Many people in the compound are envious and jealous of them. If the He family were allowed to hold a wedding together at this time, she would not be able to survive in this compound.

She understood this logic. Han Chunming did not comment. He had already bought a two-story courtyard outside and had renovated it. He was going to let his mother move in when the time came. His and Xu Jingli's child still needed his mother to take care of it. This courtyard was full of troubles. He had already thought about it, but since his mother objected, he would not force it.

"I know, Mom, big brother will understand!"

"Well, that's good. What about your big brother and big sister?"

"Mom, stop it! My eldest brother gave me shares in that company, but it's not my company. It's not that I don't want to help, it's that I can't help. My second sister just happened to be there. I don't know where my eldest brother found out about it, but he said that my second sister is serious and responsible at work, so he asked me to call my second sister into the company. If I dare to arrange money for them to come in, I will lose the business the next day!"

Last time, Han's mother told Han Chunming about the work problems of his eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, eldest sister, and second brother. It's not that Han Chunming didn't want to help, but he couldn't help.

The last time he brought it up, He Yukai covered his mouth, which seemed to mean he didn't want him to say it!

"But they have come to me several times, and I..."

"Mom, who is He Yukai to us? To put it bluntly, he is nothing. Why should he help our family? Haven't you ever thought about it?
I met someone because of Uncle Guan. They asked me to become his brother's apprentice, found me a job, provided me with such a good job, and introduced me to someone else's sister. Now it's time to talk about marriage. Tell me, do they owe us anything? No, right?
The reason why they are helping so much may be because of Uncle Guan's face, or they may think highly of me, Han Chunming. My second sister was brought up by them. I guess it's because my second sister works hard in the factory. She used to be the director of a steel mill, so it's not difficult for her to get to know a factory leader. But I really can't do anything for my eldest brother and the others!"

"Xiao Wuzi, the performance of all factories is not good now, and wages can't be paid. Your eldest brother and his family are not cut out for business, but the family has to make a living, right?"

"Mom, my eldest brothers and their friends are ambitious. What did they tell me last time? My eldest brother wants a management position, my second brother wants to do the least work, get the highest salary, and have people under him. My eldest sister-in-law wants to work in finance, and my eldest sister wants to work in human resources. Mom, tell me, if these positions are given to them, can they get them?

Let me tell you straight, I know you gave them money, I don't care, you can do whatever you want with the money I gave you, but it's impossible for them to join the company. Last time I wanted to ask my eldest brother to arrange for them to join the factory, he has several factories, but he stopped me halfway through the conversation!"

Originally in the play, Han's mother was on the side of Han Chunming, because he had been unemployed and later collected scrap. In this life, Han Chunming had good opportunities since childhood and had a good development. Since it was not Han Chunming's construction company, he did not hide it from his family. Han's mother felt that Han Chunming had such a good development, it was her duty to help him. After all, they were her children, and she thought that every child could have a good life!

"Okay, I get it. Since Director He disagrees, we can't force it. Otherwise, you and your second sister might be affected. It's all because of the eldest brother and his incompetence. The eldest brother has been working in the steel mill. If he had done a good job, how could Director He not notice him!
Let them figure it out on their own. If they really can’t make it, they can apply for a job in a private factory again. As long as they can endure hardships, they can always live a good life!"

Han's mother sighed. She originally thought that Han Chunming would not agree, but now it seems that it was not Han Chunming who disagreed, but He Yukai. He Yukai looked down on her children. It was a blessing that Han Chunming and Han Chunyan could catch He Yukai's eye, so she shouldn't be too greedy.

She was also shocked by what the boss said. She originally thought that the boss just wanted a job, but she didn't expect that they had such high requirements. You have been workers all your life, how could you get those jobs?

If Xiao Wuzi really did this, He Yukai would probably fire Xiao Wuzi and Chunyan. Thinking of this, she broke out in a cold sweat!
Han Chunming looked at his mother helplessly. His elder brother and his mother came over and cried bitterly before he agreed. Didn't he think that he could agree to those requests? Now he couldn't even arrange ordinary workers!
He was grateful to He Yukai from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for He Yukai, he wouldn't know what his life would be like now. He couldn't eat other people's food, and he even smashed other people's pots. That was not something a human being could do. It was hard for him to imagine what their family life would be like if he hadn't met He Yukai in this life.

To be honest, it was difficult for their family to have enough food at that time, let alone other things. His eldest brother and sister were okay, but his eldest sister-in-law and second brother were not okay. Didn't he want to solve the problem for his brothers and sisters?
Of course he wanted to, he even wanted to open a small restaurant for a few people, but he was finally stopped by He Yukai. He Yukai said that his sister-in-law and elder sister were not cut out for business, and if they were really laid off, he would let them work in a food factory. The salary in a food factory was not low, and the key was to let them realize the difficulty of the work.

He Yukai was really afraid that these people would enter the food factory and do whatever they wanted by relying on Han Chunming's relationship. Then he would have to deal with it, as it would easily affect the relationship between the two families!
