Chapter 14 Returning to the fairy spirit to share the money, I learned that Peony had a hard life!
At about 5 p.m. on April 4, 1982, Caide and his two trucks were loaded with agricultural materials purchased in the provincial capital and returned to their home in Xianling County.
Cai De had made an appointment in advance to wait at their house, where they were going to discuss how to divide the money, as well as how to build a temple and run a Taoist Xiuzhen Association to do good deeds.
After they unloaded the goods on the car, after dinner, everyone had a meeting together in the living room.
Caide said: "Brother Cailong! The gold and silver property that the children got was sold and bought this time, and the income was 68.08 million yuan! We took out 8.08 million yuan of it, and we divided it equally between the two families! Each family can get 4.04 million yuan! The remaining 60 million yuan will be left for the Xiuzhen Association to find an address to build a temple in the area of Longhu Mountain, and build a road to connect with the road network in Xianling County! Now, we still have 247.5 kilograms of gold and 295 kilograms of silver left in our warehouse! Each of us will share 20 gold and 40 kilograms of silver! These gold and silver will be used as jewelry when the children get married! We will donate all the remaining treasures to the follow-up operating expenses of the temple industry of the Xiuzhen Society, as well as the expenses for charitable undertakings such as opening nursing homes and orphanages, relieving the needy, and building roads and bridges! If there is no objection to this! After the meeting, Brother Cailong, you will take away the gold and silver you have shared! Your family's 4.04 million yuan, let's go to the bank tomorrow morning to make remittances! After finishing the matter of dividing the money, we will discuss with Mr. Lin Qiankun and other old people of the Xiuzhen Society, rebuild the Taoist Xiuzhen Society, register and set up the association and its bank account, and officially donate this amount of money and property to the Xiuzhen Society through social supervision, and then start to build temples in the name of the Xiuzhen Society and set up a series of public welfare and charitable undertakings!"
Cailong smiled and said, "Alas, Caide! I feel that your family has the greatest credit, and you should share a little more! I feel very good about other arrangements!"
Caide smiled and said: "Brother Cailong! Actually, our two families really have the same credit in this matter! No one can score more than one else! Let's divide it equally!"
So, everyone applauded and passed!
After the meeting, the two families went to the underground vault of the family, and the Caide family packed 20 gold and 40 kilograms of silver for the Cai Longbo family.
The family took their share of the things and happily drove home!
At this time, Peony, who had just come home to bring home, fell asleep on a chair in the living room, so Xiaohui woke up Peony and took her to take a bath and rest.
Caide and Dongmei went to the factory to visit the workers on night duty.
Hu'er sat and chatted with Wenlong and Xiaoying in the living room.
Xiaoying smiled and said, "Brother Huzi, this young lady was picked up by you on the street?!"
Hu'er said: "Xiaoying! In the future, you can't say the word 'pick up', it's rude! Sister Peony will be sad when she hears it! Do you know?"
Xiaoying nodded silently, and Wenlong said, "Brother, then, what should we say when others ask about the origin of Sister Peony?"
Hu'er said: "You say that she is the daughter of our aunt in the north! She has come to live with us for a while! If no one asks, you just don't say it!"
Xiaoying smiled and said, "Big brother, how can we have any northern aunts in our family? Grandparents only have one single seedling for Dad! Isn't this a lie?"
Hu'er smiled and said, "Yes! Xiaoying is smart! Then let's say that she is the daughter of her cousin in the north!"
Everyone laughed!
After Xiaohui took care of Peony to sleep, she came to the living room to chat with Hu'er, Wenlong and Xiaoying.
Xiaohui said: "Wenlong, Xiaoying, you two go to the bath and sleep! I'll discuss things with Brother Huzi!"
Xiaoying said: "I hate it! We just have a few words to talk about?! As soon as you come, drive us away! I want to be with Brother Huzi!"
Hu'er said: "Xiaoying, be good! The third aunt has helped you boil hot water! You go to take a bath and sleep! Tomorrow afternoon, if the weather is good, Sister Xiaohui and I will carry you to the sky and fly a few laps!"
After the two children applauded, they went to take a bath with the third aunt.
After they left, Xiaohui said: "Hu'er! Just now, after I bathed Peony, I sent her to my room to sleep!
Hu'er shook her head vigilantly, and Xiaohui continued: "I saw that the peony had become Wen Zhenlan, who drowned because of saving me! Wen Zhenlan seemed to be smiling and nodding at me! Alas, I really met a ghost!"
Hu'er said: "Yes! This afternoon, when I saw Peony for the first time in the antique market, I also glanced at her with the eyes of heaven! Her previous life was indeed a girl who drowned! However, I didn't have time to see clearly the face of the deceased! Perhaps, you see that the situation is true! Tomorrow, you should find an opportunity to ask Peony's birthday! If her birthday is on the afternoon of August 23, 1980, you can be sure that Peony was Sister Zhenlan in her previous life!"
Xiaohui said, "Huzi, I'm scared, what should I do?!"
Hu'er said: "Sister! Sister Zhenlan was your best friend when she was alive! She died for it! Now, you are with her in the next life! This is a good thing! In the future, we will treat Peony sincerely and take care of her as if she were our own sister! This is God, give you a chance to pay off the love debt you owe in this life!"
Xiaohui nodded tearfully and said, "Huzi! You said it so well! I'm going to sleep with Peony!"
......
At 8 a.m. on April 5, after Xiaohui and Hu'er had breakfast at home, they asked the school to participate in the Qingming Festival public festival. The two of them talked as they walked on their way to school.
Xiaohui said: "Huzi! When I got up this morning and dressed Peony, I asked her about her birthday, and her birthday was indeed around 4 p.m. on August 23, 1980!
Hu'er said: "You can't say anything about this! Revealing the secret of heaven is an offense to heaven! After the Qingming Festival, you let your parents give you a generous gift! You just take Peony to visit the Wen family's parents!"
Xiaohui said, "Okay! I'll find a chance to talk to my parents about this! When the time comes, you can go with us!"
Hu'er said, "Okay! When the time comes, I'll drive you to visit the Wen family's parents!"
.....
At noon, when Xiaohui and Hu'er went home for lunch from the public memorial event, their parents also went to the bank to run errands and came back.
The family sat together for lunch, chatting as they ate.
Caide's father smiled and said, "Xiaohui, Hu'er! In the morning, we will remit the money to Uncle Cailong's family! Alas, with the money, they can arrange to buy land and other deadly things!"
Dongmei's mother smiled and said: "Alas! Wen Gang is really capable! He proposed to Cai Longbo that he and his brother Wen Xian go to the farmers' market in the provincial capital to open a shop and specialize in the wholesale of local products in Xianling County and its surroundings! Cai Longbo promised to give them hundreds of thousands of yuan as capital! Tomorrow, they will start preparing for this matter!"
Xiaohui said: "Alas, in this way, what will happen to Wen Gang's practice in the future?"
Caide's father smiled and said, "Alas! Wen Gang's problem of eating alone and starting a family has not yet been solved! How can he have the heart to practice?!"
Dongmei's mother said: "That's right! Tonight, Teacher Lin Qiankun, Cai Longbo, Aunt Xiaomei, Xiaoqing, and others will come to our house to discuss the matter of the Xiuzhen Society! Hu'er and Xiaohui participated! After the others had dinner, go back to their house early and take it with them, so as not to interfere with our meeting!"
Xiaoying smiled and said, "Mom! We don't want to participate in the meeting! Brother Huzi, you said, you want to take us to the sky to play! You can't lie to people!"
Everyone laughed!
Peony smiled and said, "Brother Huzi, I'm a little fat, can you carry me to the sky?"
Huzi smiled and said, "Alas! Yes, I can go to heaven with two buffaloes on my back!
Everyone laughed!
......
At 2 p.m., after the children had taken a nap, Xiaohui and Hu'er took Wenlong, Xiaoying and Peony to the grass by the river at home.
After arriving at the grass, Huzi had already put on a special flight suit and strap, and he carried Xiaoying in front and peony on his back.
Hu'er smiled and said, "Xiaoying, Peony! When you fly into the sky, if you are afraid, grab the strap and close your eyes!"
Xiaoying smiled and said, "Brother fly! You used to fly with me often! I'm not afraid!"
Hu'er said, "Okay! The children are holding on! Take-off!"
Then, the three of them flew up into the air together, Xiaohui also flew up with Wenlong on her back, and the two groups of them circled side by side in the sky of Xianling County.
Xiaoying smiled and said, "Alas, when you look at people on the earth in the sky, you look at little ants!"
Wenlong said excitedly: "Brother, sister! I found our kindergarten! Alas, how did it become so small!"
Everyone laughed!
After they circled a few times, Peony said, "Brother, sister, how long are we going to fly?! I'm a little dizzy! I want to pee!"
Xiaohui smiled and said, "Peony endure it! We will land at the take-off place immediately!"
Everyone laughed!
When they landed on the take-off grass, Peony had already sunburned all the urine on the tiger!
Hu'er untied Xiaoying and Peony, Xiaohui untied Wenlong, and after Hu'er and Xiaohui took off their flying jackets and harnesses, everyone sat on the grass and chatted together.
Xiaoying smiled and said: "Sister Peony! You are a little scared of nothing when you fly for the first time! We are like this for the first time! Brother and sister flight suits are waterproof and windy! A soak or two of urine can't soak through those clothes!"
Everyone laughed!
Peony smiled and said, "Alas, I'm so happy to be with you! In the future, let me go to kindergarten with Xiaoying and Wenlong! I don't want to go back to my parents' house!"
Huzi said: "Peony! It's okay to study! But we still have a way to send you back to your parents! After all, you are their flesh and blood!"
Peony said with tears in her eyes, "Brother, sister, do you know how I got lost with my parents?!"
Xiaohui hugged Peony and said, "Peony said, tell us your life experience! We will definitely help you!"
Peony said: "Our family lives in the capital! My mother opened a tea wholesale shop on Malan Road, and my father opened an antique shop on Xizhimenwai Street! I also have an older brother, and my brother was not in a good position soon after he was born! This time, my parents took me to Xiyongcheng to buy a batch of goods! After my mother bought goods at the tea wholesale market, we went to the antique market together! However, as soon as we arrived at the antique street, my parents quarreled, and they often did the same at home! Therefore, I wandered around the street alone! When I returned to the original place, I couldn't find my parents anymore! I frantically shouted their names in the street and ran around the street looking for them! However, I couldn't find them until it was almost dark! I was afraid of being taken away by the police, so I ran to Grandpa Liu's shop and hid! Grandpa Liu kindly adopted me, but I was not happy there! Therefore, I want to go with you!"
When Peony said this, everyone burst into tears!
Xiaohui said, "Peony, tell my sister, your father's and mother's real names!"
Peony said: "My mother's surname is Zhao, and her name is Zhao Cuihua! My father's surname is Hou, his name is Hou Hanlin, and his father's nickname is Four-Eyed Antiques, my father is very educated, and my mother is not educated! They always say 'I want a divorce', and they also say that I am a 'mourning star'! I don't like that home! I like your family!"
Hu'er said: "Peony! We will have more than two months to go on summer vacation! When the time comes, Sister Xiaohui and I will go to the capital with you to find your parents! If your parents don't want you anymore, we will take you back! In the future, you will be our sisters, okay?"
After Peony nodded, he hugged them and cried loudly!
