Chapter 21 Return to Beijing with Treasure

I only sighed that there was no feast in the world after all, and the five brothers and sisters spent a good afternoon, and laughed at the night. Early the next morning, the time of parting finally came. I saw a large family of people, sitting in donkey carts, wandering around, and standing at the entrance of the village before seven o'clock.

Zhang He naturally learned the lessons of his previous life this time, and did not rush to the toilet in a panic before leaving. But as soon as the day was polished, he got up to wash up and prepare to stop, and in order to protect the copper porcelain plates and porcelain vases that he was going to bring back to Beijing, he also deliberately found a lot of straw in the courtyard, stuffed his mother's bag and the bag borrowed by his grandfather yesterday, and repeatedly told his grandfather and mother not to make a noise.

"Brother, you bring this. Li Zhen and Li Meng, who hid a cloth bag on the donkey cart at some point, saw that there was dust in the distance of the road, so they took it out and handed it to Zhang He.

"What?" Zhang He curiously wanted to open it and take a look.

"Brother, get in the car and take a look. Li Zhen and Li Meng glanced at each other, and at the same time smiled and pressed Zhang He's hand. "What, so mysterious?" Zhang He looked into the eyes of the young lady, and then looked at the adults and the two younger brothers who were also confused.

"What is it? Show me. Wu Xin and Jia Yi said with curiosity in their eyes, and as they spoke, they wanted to reach out and open the bag in Zhang He's hand to find out.

Seeing this, Li Zhen and Li Meng immediately pressed the hands of the two brothers and said, "It's to give Brother Bei an oil lamp, if you like it too, I'll give you one when I come back later." ”

"I don't want an oil lamp. "I don't want it either. When Wu Xin and Jia Yi heard that it was an oil lamp, they instantly lost interest.

But Zhang He was a little overwhelmed by the emotion all of a sudden, so he didn't think too much about it and directly gave the two ladies a big hug.

"Beibei, what about you?" said the fourth aunt Zhang Liqing glared at Zhang He viciously.

"Didn't do anything!" Zhang He replied casually. Then he found that except for his grandfather, mother and two cousins, as well as the two uncles of the eldest uncle's family, who showed him a bad smile, the rest of the people were staring at him with complicated expressions.

"Damn, men and women can't kiss each other, right, they can't hug each other. Zhang He, who was once named a hooligan by his aunts because he played with the girls in the neighborhood when he was a child and chased and played with the female classmates in the class after school, instantly understood the meaning hidden behind everyone's expressions. But at this moment, he could only choose to be silent, not that he thought it was unreasonable to talk to adults in this era, but that he found that Li Zhen and Li Meng, who had probably never enjoyed such a way of gratitude, had returned to his aunt's side with a flushed face, pursing his lips and not daring to look at him as a brother again.

"Hey, why don't you talk anymore. What's wrong with my brother hugging my sister?" Uncle Li Qiang of the eldest uncle and grandfather's family broke the awkward atmosphere, put his left arm on Zhang He's third aunt's shoulder with a hippie smile, and squeezed his eyes at Zhang He at the same time.

"What are you doing, you're not serious. Aunt Zhang He blushed and broke free of her cousin's arm, which also attracted a burst of laughter from everyone.

"Hey, brother and sister in the family, why do you react so much? Uncle Li Qiang laughed and put his right arm on Aunt Zhang He's shoulder.

"You just make trouble, it's quite an adult, and you don't have a proper shape in front of the child. Aunt Zhang He didn't break free of her cousin's arm, but glared at her cousin with slanted eyes.

"Don't make a fuss, the car is coming, hurry up and get something, don't leave anything behind. Seeing the long-distance bus rushing towards this side, Grandma Zhang He spoke to the children.

"Gone, gone. Grandparents, take care of yourself. Li Hui and Shujuan, you too, the family depends on the two of you, and it's hard work. ”

"Grandpa, let's go. Take care."

"Goodbye to grandpa and grandma, goodbye to uncle and aunt. ”

In a moment, the kung fu long-distance bus was close in front of them, and everyone was busy picking up the items on the donkey cart and saying goodbye to their grandfather, grandmother, and Li Hui's family one by one.

"Brother, when are you still here?" Although Li Zhen and Li Meng, who were amused by Uncle Li Qiang's actions just now, still stood beside his mother and did not move, seeing that Zhang He and they were about to get into the car, they both came to the front of the three Zhang He brothers with red eyes, and asked with a hint of crying.

"Didn't we say okay, see you next time in Beijing. Zhang He looked at the struggling tears in the eyes of his two younger sisters, and couldn't help but pat their heads again.

"yes, didn't we all pull off last night. Wu Xin also smiled.

"You go to Beijing to find us, and I will treat you to delicious food. Jia Yi also followed the words of the two brothers.

"yes, what are you crying about, I'll see you next time!" Aunt Shujuan hugged her daughter and comforted her.

"Don't cry, it's not beautiful to cry. You learn to write well, and we can write more often in the future. After Zhang He finished speaking, he got into the car with the bag in his hand, and Wu Xin and Jia Yi also followed behind Zhang He one after the other.

"Mom, help me get it first, don't squeeze it!" Zhang He, who got in the car, walked straight to the last row of the carriage and handed the bag in his hand to his mother. Then he stepped over his mother, stood in front of the car window and gestured a "bowl" shape to Li Zhen and Li Meng with his hand, and after seeing Li Zhen and Li Meng smiling at him, he squeezed his eyes at the sisters, and at the same time made a "shhhh

"Goodbye. Take care. Write a letter. With the waving arms and farewell words of the family members on and off the bus, the long-distance bus slowly drove away from the station. Zhang He looked at the sincere and simple faces of his grandfather, grandmother, uncle and aunt, as well as his sister's red eyes, and instantly felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Although he is no longer the simple and kind person he was in his previous life, his conscience still fills his heart with guilt. He didn't feel at all that the bronze cups and porcelain vases, which were now in his mother's and grandfather's bags, should have belonged to him, and that he had gained and lost them in his previous life, and had lost them in this life. He only felt that he had obtained it through deception, by taking advantage of the kindness and sincerity of others. Therefore, when the car had driven out of the village road and looked back at the nowhere to be seen, he still leaned his head against the window in a daze, looking at the blue sky with his eyes, as if he had come back again.

"Beibei, why did you hide the bowl here?" Zhang's mother, who only cared about listening to her family's jokes along the way, and never paid attention to what was in the bag her son gave him, finally saw off her second uncle's family at Baxian Station, and returned to the car to open the cloth bag. Only then did she find that the bag her son gave her contained not only a kerosene lamp with a lampshade, but also a pink porcelain bowl that she had just bought yesterday under a pile of straw.

"Ahh Zhang He saw that there was really a porcelain bowl buried in the bag, and he couldn't help but sigh, and his eyes turned red instantly. He never expected this to be the case, and when he thought back to the strength of the sisters who held the porcelain bowl yesterday afternoon, and the happy and joyful faces of the two in the light last night, he felt more and more that he was not a thing.

Thinking that he should have been ecstatic, he was hit like a hell by this "kind blow", which made him uncomfortable. After all, he is not a mercenary person, but everything is clear at the moment. At this moment, he only felt like a man's back and a fish in his throat, and his heart was an indescribable discomfort. So he quietly closed the mouth of the bag, and without saying a word, took the bag from his mother's hand and put it on his lap, and held back the tears that were about to fall from his eyes, and quickly turned his head out of the window again.

But at this moment, Zhang's mother suddenly stood up, walked to the middle of the carriage, silently asked for her father's bag, then turned back to her seat and sat down again, opened the zipper on her father's bag, looked inside, and picked up her own bag at her feet and rummaged through it. Then his face sank, and he poked Zhang He beside him with his elbow and asked, "What about that red bowl?

Zhang He looked out the window listlessly and muttered, "Changed."

"Changed it, who did you change it with? It changed it to such a broken bottle? That bowl cost four dollars. Zhang's mother widened her eyes and raised her voice at the same time, exclaiming.

"Be quiet!" Zhang He turned his head suddenly, and hurriedly observed the reactions of the other family members who were separated by a few rows of seats, but fortunately, the roar of the engine and the noise in the carriage did not let his mother's voice attract the attention of other family members. So, Zhang He lowered his head again and whispered to his mother: "This is much more expensive than that!"
