Yu Jixing and his grandfather returned to their house, and their grandparents went to the house to look for things, so he and his grandfather sat in the hall and waited for them.

After a semester, I didn't come, and I looked at the oil paintings of Chairman Mao and China's ten marshals pasted on the mud walls.

For some years, the paper has been covered with cobwebs, and the corners around the four sides have been missing, and the grandparents are reluctant to tear them off, which is the leader in their hearts.

In the center is an old wooden cabinet with a picture frame on it, which my grandfather said seemed to be a portrait of my ancestors.

My grandparents didn't have a wedding photo, and they were poor at that time, so they were reluctant to take pictures.

After a while, the grandparents came out, holding an old red cloth bag in their hands, which was slowly opened on the dining table, wrapped in a thick plastic bag, and tied neatly with hemp rope.

When they were all opened, there were some food stamps and meat stamps, as well as old versions of the renminbi.

Grandpa picked it up and counted it, and said with a smile: "Jixing, this money was left to us by your ancestors, and we haven't used it for a souvenir."

When your ancestors were dying, they said that if the descendants of our family do not have enough money to read a lot of books in the future, give this to their children.

Your dad went to high school and didn't get into a key university, he didn't go to it, this time if you get into a big university.

If you are short of money, take this, I heard that those who collect antiques will be collected, and if they can sell it for some money, it can be regarded as an explanation to your ancestors. ”

Jixing immediately moistened his eyes and said loudly, and grandma smiled and said, "Good grandson, you have added glory to our ancestors, and we will be relieved to leave in the future." ”

Jixing immediately said thank you grandparents, and grandpa was also very moved when he looked at it, and said with a smile: "Good grandson, our ancestors also keep some, wait a minute, you can come with me to get it." ”

Jixing immediately smiled and said: "Thank you, grandparents, you put it away first, the money given by your parents should be enough, if you don't have any money, you can let your father sell it and exchange some money to come back." ”

Grandpa slowly wrapped the red cloth bag, smiled and said Okay, let's take it to your father now, let him sell it, let's go, let's go to them.

Ji Xing immediately said yes, walked out of the hall, grandpa locked the door, and the four of them walked to their house together, grandpa carefully held the red cloth bag in his hand, and met acquaintances on the way to greet him warmly.

Half an hour later, when I came to my house, my father and mother were roasting chickens and ducks in the yard, and my grandfather walked over and told my son to stop first and tell him to go in, and my father immediately said yes.

Grandma went to help, Mom called Mom with a smile, the three of them and Dad entered the hall, Grandpa opened the red cloth bag, and said with a smile: "You take these and sell them, and give this money to Jixing to study, this is what your grandfather said." ”

Dad looked at the money and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll sell it when I go to town, see if the boss collects it, and I'll give the money to Jixing when the time comes." ”

Grandpa smiled and said yes, put away the red cloth bag and gave it to his son, and then grandpa immediately said, "Let's go, go to my house now, I also have some at home, let's go and get them too." ”

Grandpa smiled and said yes, dad immediately said yes, and the three of them went to grandpa's house again, not far away, in this village, and walked for more than ten minutes.

There were two walnut trees planted outside the yard, a little tall, they should have had tuberculosis, grandpa and they walked into the yard, opened the door, and let grandpa and Jixing sit in the hall and wait, he went into the back room to look for it.

My grandfather's house is also a three-room mud house, and there are portraits of Chairman Mao and China's top ten marshals on the mud wall, and the paper has fallen off for a long time.

In the center was a long wooden cabinet with a hoe and a basket next to it, and in it were some red roots.

After a while, my grandfather came out, holding an old blue cloth bag in his hand, and walked to the old dining table, slowly opened it, and wrapped it in a thick plastic bag.

It was tied neatly with a hemp rope, all opened, and there were two golden bracelets inside, as well as a gold necklace, and a pair of golden earrings, as well as some food stamps and meat stamps, and several bundles of old renminbi.

Grandpa looked at these things and said with a smile: "This is left by your grandfather, he used to be a businessman, and his living conditions are okay."

Later, when he was liberated, he didn't do business, and when he died, he gave it to me, and if his descendants were short of money to study, you would give it to him.

Whether it's a grandson or a child, you must not use it indiscriminately, when your mother was short of money for studying, I took a bundle of money and went to the city to change it, so your mother went to a normal school.

Teaching in this house now is better than farming, we only have your mother, and you only have one grandson, and now I hand this over to you, which is also an explanation to your grandfather. ”

Ji Xing's eyes were already crying, wiped his eyes, and said loudly Thank you grandfather, and grandfather.

Grandpa wrapped them all up, wrapped them in that blue cloth bag, and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go to your father and let him change." ”

The grandfather and grandson hurriedly said yes, and the three of them walked out, closed the door, and walked towards their house, where they arrived soon.

Grandpa smiled and called his son-in-law in, and Dad immediately said yes, Mom and Grandma had gone to the kitchen, and Dad and they went into the hall.

Grandpa opened the blue cloth bag and said to him with a smile: "You took this and exchanged it, and the money was given to Jixing, which was given by your grandfather." ”

Dad immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad, I will, Jixing will go with me tomorrow, and let Mengzhu help watch the store." ”

Grandpa smiled and said okay, wrap those up, and give them to Dad. Dad immediately took it to the house and put it away, and by this time the meal was already ready, and Mom immediately served it to the table.

Dad immediately went to the kitchen to help, and the three of them sat in the hall and talked, and the bubbling meat was served to the table one after another, and after the frying, Mom and Grandma came over with dishes and chopsticks.

Everyone greeted and ate, ate a lot of meat at noon, and was very rich in the evening, such a meal, only on holidays, birthdays, usually eat very economically, only eat vegetables.

The steaming meal smoked and floated in the air, the smell of meat filled the house, and the family was full of smiles on their faces, helping each other to pick up the vegetables and eat happily.

When they finished eating, there were still half of the dishes left on the table, and my mother told them to come over tomorrow, and my grandparents and grandfather immediately said no, you can eat.

Mom cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Dad wiped the table, grandparents and grandpa rested for a while, and then they were going back, Dad said okay, and Jixing sent them back.

More than half an hour later, I sent my grandparents home, my grandmother opened the door, told them to wait, went back to the house, carried a big plastic bag, took it to the table and opened it, and there were walnuts inside, which were dried.

Grandma smiled and said to them: "You take this walnut back to eat, we are beating, it is the two walnut trees outside, this year there are a lot of fruits, the tall ones can't be beaten, the short ones are beaten." There is still a little left. ”

After saying that, he tied his pocket and gave it to his son to carry, and his father immediately said, "You are going to fight in the future, come and call me, don't be tired, I will take the time to beat walnuts." ”

Grandma smiled and said yes, Jixing immediately said thank you grandparents, the two father and son sat for a while, and Dad immediately asked, "Mom and Dad, do you want to rebuild two new houses?"

It's better to repair it on my side when the time comes, and when you get old in the future, I can take care of it. After Jixing works, he will repair it with a little money. ”

The grandparents smiled and said yes, and the two fathers and sons said goodbye to their grandparents and went home.

When he returned to his house, his grandfather had already gone back, his mother had sent him and was boiling water in the kitchen, and his father closed the door, turned on the fluorescent lamp, went to the house and took out the two cloth bags, and slowly opened them.

Take it out and look at it carefully, and count how many of them? These old versions of the renminbi are now in the collection, and my grandfather never told him about it before, nor did he show it to him.

Jixing also took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, some of the papers were old, some were very new, and one of the bundles given by Grandpa was new, and Dad looked at the light, and Dad looked at it twice. It is the third version of the renminbi.

Then I ordered it twice, just a hundred sheets, and then all of them were neatly bundled. The rest are half-new and old, read carefully, ordered twice, and there are three hundred and fifty sheets.

There were both large and small denominations, and my father had to divide them, ranging from 100 yuan to 1 yuan and 50 pieces each.

After dividing them, Dad put them in a neat bundle. Then I took out the one given by my grandfather, and Ji Xing had already counted it, and there were a total of 1,000 yuan, both large and small.

There were five bundles of new banknotes, all of which were serial and 100 yuan, 500 old ones, 100 yuan to 100 yuan, 50 yuan to 50 yuan, and 2 yuan 50 yuan.

All the auspicious stars were neatly placed, and Dad took them and counted them twice, and only after counting them did he tie them all up.

There are also a few gold jewelry, Dad and Jixing took a closer look, and they didn't know whether it was true or not, so they had to put it down.

At this time, my mother came over, saw the two fathers and sons counting, and said with a smile: "Mom and Dad, they took out all the family heirlooms, they showed me before, and told me that they were really good to us." ”

Dad stopped to look at her and said with a smile, "My dad didn't tell me about it, but when they get old, they will still take it out." ”

Mom asked how many, and Dad said, and began to count food stamps and meat stamps, each with 200 stamps, one or two yuan, and put them all away.

After Jixing finished counting, he smiled and said to his parents: "Thank you, grandparents, grandpa, they are so well preserved, they should be put in a crockpot so that they won't be bitten by mice, right Mom and Dad." ”

Mom and Dad nodded and said that it should be, and after counting everything, they wrapped it in a plastic bag, put it in the two cloth bags, and put it in the house.

The family went to wash their personal hygiene again. After washing, they all rested.

The next morning, Dad and Jixing had dinner and talked to Mom, and the father and son took the two cloth bags and prepared to take the car to the town, so they went to see it first.

Walking on the side of the road, waiting for the tricycle, I immediately sat on it, and after more than half an hour, the car came to the town, and the two fathers and sons quickly got out of the car.

It was full of people, and they slowly got off the bus, gave the fare, and searched a few streets down the town, and after looking for it, they found that there was none.

The father and son had to prepare to go to the city, and there should be one in the city. When they came to the station and saw the bus going to XX city, the two fathers and sons hurriedly got on the bus.

I found a place to sit down, waited for a few minutes, drove the car, the conductor sold the ticket, my father gave the fare, and the driver started to drive normally, heading in the direction of the city.
