After a while, Zhang's mother and her mother entered the house with bowls one after the other, only to see Zhang's mother open her mouth to ask her father for instructions: "Dad, can we wait for Liling?"

"Don't wait, maybe the two of them went shopping. Grandma Zhang He said in a low voice.

But at this moment, Aunt Zhang He suddenly pushed the door and came in. Seeing that she ignored anyone, she rushed into the back room, closed the door with a bang, and in less than a moment her cry came from the room.

"What's the matter?" Liling opened the door and told her mother what's wrong?" Seeing this, Grandma Zhang He immediately got up and knocked on the door of the east ear room.

"Liling, open the door. Tell the second sister what's wrong? Is it that the guy surnamed Guan just now bullied you? Zhang's mother also walked to the door of the east ear room and knocked on the door.

"Leave me alone!" Aunt Zhang He cried in the house.

"Come out if it's okay. Tell your mother and sister what's going on?" Grandpa Zhang He got up and sat on the sofa, and said in the room with a stiff face.

The aunt, who didn't dare to disobey her father, got up and opened the door, and sat on the bed opposite her father with tears in her eyes, her head bowed and she didn't speak, but she was holding a brocade box in her hand.

And Zhang He, who was taken aback by his aunt's actions just now, saw the brocade box in his aunt's hand at this time, and immediately remembered an episode in his previous life, so he said to his grandfather with a smile: "I know what's wrong with my aunt?"

"What's wrong with your aunt?" Grandma Zhang He stood on the side of the bed and put her arms around her aunt's shoulders, and looked up to ask Zhang He.

"My aunt...", only the beginning, Zhang He immediately realized that he couldn't put the memory of his previous life at this time, so he immediately swallowed what he wanted to say later, and ran to the aunt with a hippie smile on his face, and said nonsense: "Auntie, were you moved by the uncle surnamed Guan, what good things did he give you, can you show me?"

"Hmph, I'm moved, he's going to go abroad in two days, and it's estimated that he won't come back in the future. Aunt Zhang He pushed the brocade box in her hand into Zhang He's arms, and continued to lower her head and sobbed with grievances.

"Auntie, you can send it this time. Do you know what this is? This is glass imperial green!" Zhang He, who had long known what was in the brocade box, pretended to be curious and lifted the lid of the brocade box, and took out the piece that his aunt had given to him in his previous life, and then asked him to go back for his husband. But on the day of returning, she was dropped by her husband's hand, and a diamond-shaped and heart-shaped jade jade pendant carved with a bat pretended to be excited and said to her aunt.

"What did you say, why did my aunt send it!" Grandma Zhang He immediately asked when she heard this. And Aunt Zhang He also stopped crying for the time being, waiting for his answer with teary eyes.

"The grandfather of my classmate, there is a piece similar to yours, I heard his grandfather say that this is called glass imperial green, which is handed down by his ancestors, and it is worth a lot of money! Zhang He raised the jade pendant and said casually while pretending to look at it.

Zhang He really didn't talk nonsense, and he didn't have the heart to tease his aunt. And these terms about jade that he speaks of, including their value. It was he who listened to the shopkeeper when he went to ask his aunt in his previous life if the broken jade pendant could be repaired.

"Really, fake, can it be worth so much money?" Grandma Zhang He took the jade pendant from Zhang He's hand, held it up in the air, and looked at it at the light again.

"You can go and ask the glaze factory. But I heard my classmate's grandfather say that this thing has to be kept for more than ten years before it is really valuable, and it can't be sold at a high price now. Zhang He blinked his eyes and looked at the jade pendant in his grandmother's hand and said.

"When have you ever been to the same school? Don't talk nonsense, your aunt will be serious in a while. Zhang's mother was afraid that her son was talking nonsense, so she immediately asked,

"Yes, how do you still know about the Liuli Factory?" Grandpa Zhang He also asked curiously.

"If you pretend to say it to the old fairy, I guess no one will believe it. Zhang He rolled his eyes, and didn't dare to look back at his grandfather and mother's eyes, so he said: "Just a few days ago, when I went to visit the same school, when people showed me off, I listened to what his family said. ”

"Which classmate, what's your name?" asked Zhang's mother.

"Oh, don't you believe what I say? If you don't believe it, I'm not talking nonsense anyway. Zhang He turned around and said to his mother as if he was puffing up.

"Then you will go to the glaze factory tomorrow and ask to see how much this thing is worth?" said Grandma Zhang He handed the jade pendant back to her aunt's hand.

"I don't want it, give it to you. The aunt, who was immersed in the pain of breaking up, didn't pay attention to her mother's words, but stuffed the jade pendant back into Zhang He's hand, and then turned around and lay on the bed and cried.

"Okay, it's just no fate! Don't cry. Grandma Zhang He leaned beside her aunt and comforted her with her hand.

"Liling, don't be sad. Let's go, let's go! Wait for your eldest sister to introduce you to a good one day. Zhang's mother also sat on the edge of the bed and turned around to comfort her sister.

"Auntie, what are you crying about? They gave you all the heirlooms. If that uncle surnamed Guan is willing to give you up, why did he give you such a valuable gift? Hey, hey, it can't be that he stole it, does he?

"He knew, and he said it when he gave it to me, and it was his family's ancestral. Aunt Zhang He stopped crying again, lay on the bed and turned her head to Zhang He and said.

"I know that people are real to you! Okay, don't cry! Hurry up and wash your face and eat." Grandpa Zhang He got up and patted his aunt's leg with his hand and said.

"Auntie, I don't dare to ask for your love object. Maybe one day when you also go abroad, you can continue the frontier!" Zhang He continued to suck the noodles and teased his aunt. Then seeing that the aunt turned her head to look at him again, Zhang He immediately pushed the jade pendant on the table forward gently, and motioned to the aunt to take it.

The reason why Zhang He was able to tell his aunt the truth about the true value of his jade pendant and insisted on not wanting this "gift" from his aunt. And yesterday, he hid the "true identity" of the bronze cup and the kiln bottle from his old family. It's not because he "found out in his conscience" that he can't be too greedy, and it's not because of the so-called difference between relatives and aliens. It's because he doesn't want to fight with his aunts again in this life, and he firmly believes that even if he takes it today, one day her aunt will still care about him going back. But there is one thing that Zhang He may not admit, that is, in his subconscious, he doesn't want his aunt to live as "humble" as her husband in his previous life because of money.

But Zhang He's performance made all the adults present laugh, and his aunt suddenly stood up and walked quickly to his side, gently pinched his face with her hand, and said half-crying and half-laughing: "Why do I think you seem to be a different person, are you Beibei?"

Two days ago, he said that he had dreamed of an old fairy, and that he had let the fairy blow his breath and open his mind!" Zhang He's grandmother said with a smile.

"Child, one day at a time, my grandson will be able to go to college in a few years!" said Grandpa Zhang He with a smile.

"Auntie, it hurts. Zhang He, who didn't need to explain any more, pulled away his aunt's hand and glared at his aunt as if he was very unhappy. At this point, the family gathered around the square table and began to enjoy a hot dinner.

Then, at nine o'clock in the evening, Zhang He once again declined his aunt's offer to give him the jade pendant, and the mother and son took the three bags back to their house across the road.

The so-called "own" home is the north house in a courtyard house located across the road from Zhang He's grandmother's house, south of the road. This is the house that Zhang He's grandfather specially managed the unit for Zhang He's mother and father to get married. With an area of 15 square meters, only this room is stunned. Except for the brown folding round table and a few folding stools at the entrance, and the tawny desk, wine cabinet and large wardrobe lined up along the south wall of the doorway, all that was left was the dark brown double bed with a backrest in the northeast corner of the room.

The yard is not as big as the yard on Zhang He's side, and it is not like Zhang He's grandmother's side where there are pomegranate trees and fig trees, there is only a huge water tank here that allows Zhang He to stand in it at this time and take a bath in the southeast corner of the courtyard sitting quietly. The kitchen is not independent, but has to share the west wing, which has been opened up as a kitchen, with the house of Grandma Bai, a Muslim who lives in the east wing, and the house of Grandpa Lu, a traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture doctor who lives in the south room.

Zhang He did not live here a few times during his childhood, but when he was a teenager and teenager, he often ran this way. Because since 1986, when he moved with his mother and grandparents to the aforementioned building in Guangqumen, until it was demolished in 1999, this room became the residence of his fourth aunt's family.

At this time, Zhang He, who had already opened the door and entered the house, stood in the door stupidly and did not take a step into the house. It wasn't that he suddenly felt something again, but as soon as he entered the door, his nose was "attacked" by the strong smell of tobacco wafting through the room. made him lose the happiness of being alone with his mother "for the first time" in an instant, and was replaced by an unrelieved hatred for his father.

But how could Zhang's mother know the reason for this, so after putting the bag on the bed, she turned back to him and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you poking there? Why don't you enter the house?"

Zhang He frowned and said, "Mom, let's have a meeting first, okay?"

"What smell?" Zhang Mu sniffed left and right with her nose.

"My dad's smell, the smell of smoke. Zhang He said.

"Then you should come in first, what kind of wind is blowing there! Come here, first find a place to put away your things." As she spoke, Mother Zhang walked to the round table again, picked up the kettle on the table, and explained, "Mom, go make half a pot of water first," and walked out of the door.

"Hey!" Zhang He turned his head to look at his mother, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Then he turned and closed the door, and closed the curtains across the desk. And after repeatedly confirming the movements in the courtyard several times, he took out the objects in the three bags on the bed one by one, and wanted to hide them all under the bed in order to "repeat the old trick".
