As soon as the two of them walked on the street, they heard someone shouting behind them: "Big sister, stay behind." When I looked back, an old lady in her sixties was hurrying forward, her thin body still wrapped in her feet, tired and panting.

"Eldest sister, do you call me?" asked Grandma suspiciously.

"Well, girl, I see that you have a good face and are also a rich man, can you take a look at me?" the old man said neatly.

"No, eldest sister, where do you see that I'm a rich man?" asked Grandma strangely.

"Don't look at you who are not well dressed, but you two have ruddy complexions and strong bodies, and you know that life is rich at a glance. She explained with a smile.

"And what are you letting me see?"

"You come with me. The old man led his grandmother to a quiet place, took out a satin bag from his arms, opened it, and saw that there was a pair of jade bracelets in it. The whole body is white, like mutton fat, and it is a good thing at first glance. But in the end, Yoyo doesn't understand.

Grandma took the jade bracelet and looked at it carefully for a long time. "Eldest sister, you're a good thing. Grandma said in admiration.

"No matter how good it is, it is not a good thing in this year, it cannot be eaten or drunk, it cannot be worn, and it is a scourge to be exposed. The old lady said with emotion.

"If you can't wear it, we won't wear it, you may be an heirloom, and it's a thought to keep it for your children. Grandma comforted.

"Isn't this a tight use of money, my composition is not good, the delayed grandson is almost thirty years old to find a partner, is he going to get married recently, thinking about buying a bicycle for the woman, but he can't make up the money, so he sold it for emergency. Big sister, can you stay?" the old man asked eagerly looking at his grandmother.

"Eldest sister, what are you going to do?" asked her grandmother.

"I heard the elders say that it was bought for ten silver dollars at that time, and I also know that it can't compare to silver dollars now, can you give twenty yuan, big sister?"

It's cheap, even if it is an ordinary jade bracelet in the later generations, it will cost tens of thousands of dollars. Such a good jade bracelet is only 20 yuan for a pair. Buy it, look at grandma.

"Eldest sister, since you have taken a fancy to me, I bought it, and I still have a few spare money, and I bought it for the children to keep. Grandma took out twenty yuan and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady handed the jade bracelet to her grandmother, and then handed the silk bag. "Sister, I see that you are also a person who understands goods, I also have a gold bracelet at home, it's a pity to sell it to the bank, you have to be able to buy it, and pass it on to your children is better than this"

"Eldest sister, can you let me take a look first?"

"Okay, my house is nearby, by the street, there are no outsiders at home, I live by myself, you have to believe me, come home with me." The old man invited.

"Why don't you believe that, I have a fate with my eldest sister, I feel close as soon as we meet, I will recognize my home with you, and I will have a place to stay in the city again." Grandma followed the old man with Yoyo.

The old man's home is not far from the Muslim village, with a moat in between. On the north side of the street, the gate faces the street.

The spacious yard has more than one acre, and it is a layout of two entrances and backs, but there are only a few dilapidated houses left in the front yard. The courtyard and the house are all neatly cleaned up, giving people a sense of comfort. The furnishings at home are also old objects, and it can be seen that it was a big family back then.

The old lady poured a glass of water for Grandma and Youyou, went into the back room and took out a pair of dragon and phoenix gold bracelets and handed them to Grandma, sat down and started a homely meal with Grandma.

The old man's name is Wang Yuxiang, and his husband's surname is Zhou. She told her grandmother that the Zhou family was a well-known landowner in Linshui before liberation, and the life (family background) passed down from several lifetimes was very rich.

It is also a well-known good family, and there are many people who have helped, especially the poor people, who have not borrowed her family's food, and they will have to pay it back, and they have never come to the door to clear the account, and the people near the water who do not know the "Zhou Dashan people".

However, there is one unsatisfactory, the population is not prosperous, and it has been passed on for several lifetimes. After liberation, in addition to the land and business returned to the public, personal property was preserved. They also took the initiative to give up the high-rise compound in the city and move to this village on the outskirts of the city to live.

The accident happened during the big pot meal in five or eight years, a rogue leader fell in love with her beautiful daughter-in-law, and when the temptation failed, he persecuted her family in many ways, raided the house and confiscated everything that could be found, and beat her son into a disability.

The old man was furious and angry, the daughter-in-law was afraid of increasing the burden on his mother, and the son was afraid of increasing the burden on his mother, so he left a suicide note and hanged himself in the backyard of his home.

For the sake of his young grandson, the old man stood strong. also for the sake of Qingjing and the safety of her grandson, she pretended to be a ghost in the middle of the night, and learned her daughter-in-law's tone to shout grievances.

During this period, although people shouted "Down with all cows, ghosts, snakes and gods" and "break feudal superstitions", the traditional thinking of thousands of years can not be changed by a few slogans, and people still believe in the legends of ghosts and gods in their hearts.

No one traced the strange things that happened to the old man's house, but it scared everyone to retreat from her family. The old man deliberately ignored the backyard, causing the backyard to be overgrown with weeds, all growing to more than half a person's height, and rats and weasels made a home in the yard, which made it even more gloomy.

Occasionally, a brave person came in to peep, but he was also frightened and fled. The legend of the ghost house spread farther and farther, but it gave the grandparents and grandchildren a quiet place to live.

Although housing in the city is tight, and her grandparents live in a large yard of more than one acre, no one has ever thought about anything else.

As a famous family for several lifetimes, the Zhou family has experienced several wars and turmoil, and they still have experienced ways to avoid disasters.

Although the raiders confiscated their property, the cunning rabbit was still enough for her grandchildren to live. What's more, there are many people they have helped in the past who secretly receive help.

"There are still many good people in this world", speaking of this, the old man sighed sincerely.

A few years ago, the price of gold and silver purchased by the state was low, and the old people did not dare to openly go to the bank to exchange, so they often changed their appearance to go to other banks to exchange. In order to keep his grandson fed and clothed, he often went to the black market to buy high-priced things.

"Over the years, the things left by the old generation are almost gone, but my grandson has finally grown up healthy. ”

"Compared to people, things are nothing, and no one matters no matter how good they are. Grandma comforted her

"Big sister, that's what I think. My grandson's name is Zhou Guangjie, and he is 29 years old this year. You haven't seen my eldest grandson, it's not that I'm boasting about it, but a young man with a mark, not only good-looking, but also smart and capable of studying well. You won't see each other today, but you will believe what I say when you do.

It's a pity that I was not allowed to enter high school because of my bad composition after graduating from junior high school. His teacher treated him well, secretly taught him high school courses, and praised him for learning better than all the students in school.

But what's the use of studying well, if you can't be a soldier, you can't enter the factory, you can't find any work, you can only do odd jobs everywhere, sweating hard to earn a hard-earned money. He was still a child at the time of liberation, and he didn't enjoy the blessings, but he suffered all the sins.

I am not afraid of sweating, my grandson is tall and big, young and strong, and has strength. The difficulty lies in finding a daughter-in-law, and everything you do these years is about ingredients. It is difficult to get married if the composition is not good, and it is good for the woman to say, find a person with good composition and poor conditions to marry, and the man will be left.

My family doesn't want anything now, they don't even have a place to live, whose girl dares to live in a haunted house, and my dying old woman is a burden, and my grandson is almost thirty years old and hasn't found a partner yet.

A few years ago, he happened to help a rural person, there was an only daughter in that family, thinking of recruiting an old son-in-law, the girl looked good, but she was unwilling, who was willing to plug in the door upside down, and the delay was delayed, and the girl was twenty-three or four years old and had not found her mother-in-law's house.

After knowing my grandson's situation, I found someone to talk to. The woman has good composition, there are many uncles and brothers, her uncle is still a captain, and the child can't suffer a loss. In the next life, they will no longer be affected by the ingredients, and the children born in the same way will have to follow the woman's surname.

I also thought it through, it doesn't matter who has the surname, as long as the child can live a normal life. No matter what his surname is, he is a child of the old Zhou family, and he is really out of business.

The two children met a few times and were satisfied with each other, and the matter was done. Although I don't need to do it, the people on the woman's side wish I didn't show up. But my granddaughter-in-law's family is good, and she said that she would take me over to support the elderly when she got married.

I can move now or live on my own, and I won't trouble them. When you are really old, you still have to rely on them. To say that I am this age, I have enjoyed blessings and suffered sins, but I am clean when I die. But I can't break my grandson's heart, I have to let my grandson honor me for a few years.

Although this house is empty, I still want to empty the old things and prepare more things for the children, the woman's family is not rich, and I don't want to lose the children because of this big event in my life. ”
