Chapter 7 + Chapter 8 Where did the inheritance of the poor peasant family come from?

It was more than six o'clock early the next morning, and my aunt and grandmother came over with Sanni, not only did they come, but they also held a bowl of soy milk and fritters in their hands, Jia Lei looked at the hot breakfast and was about to cry,

You must know that soy milk and fried dough sticks are common breakfast for northerners, and southerners don't eat much.

Jia Lei has been a BJ person for 20 years in his last life, and this is naturally good, but BJ people eat bean juice, and Jia Lei is always unaccustomed to drinking it, after all, he is not a native BJ person.

My aunt and grandmother saw that Jia Lei was eating fragrantly, so she started cleaning with confidence, and I don't know where he found out a lot of dirty clothes, took a big wooden basin and packed it, and let Sanni take it to the public pool downstairs to wash her clothes, and when there were two people left in the house, my aunt and grandmother pretended to pass by, Zhao Juan's house deliberately looked inside through the glass, and found that there was no one, so they closed the door with confidence, plugged in the door, and even lowered the door curtain.

"Aunt Zhao, no one at home, everyone went to work, and she didn't come back until the evening. Jia Lei watched her movements and told her what she knew, and her aunt was immediately relieved.

I saw her come over, pull Jia Lei to the bed, sit down, lowered her head, and asked in a low voice.

"Lei Lei, do you know where the money and valuable things are in the house?" Jia Lei was stunned when he heard this, could it be that even his aunt and grandmother were not good people, and they actually asked for money directly?

But I remember that she was not like this in her previous life!

Jia Lei was confused, could it be that the so-called previous life was actually a dream? Otherwise, what happened in the past few days was different from the previous life.

My aunt looked at him confused, and thought that he was still young and didn't know where to put the money, so she got up and looked everywhere, only to see her dig out a pile of money and tickets from under the pillow, in the wardrobe and through the cracks in the bricks in the corner.

"Patriot, this kid is as fond of hiding money in the cracks of bricks as before!" said the aunt, wiping her eyes, and then finding a handkerchief, wrapping it up and selling it to him.

"You take it and hide it! Remember not to give it to anyone, not even your mother. She's been gone for five or six years, and who knows what has become of her. This is all your private money, and I have counted a total of two hundred and eighty yuan and seventy-four pounds.

You put your things away quickly, you don't know that you still have two dollars in the pocket of the old clothes you gave us yesterday, and they turned them out and left them. I think you are a child, no matter how smart you are, you can't compare to an adult, you have a lot of people in this house, you don't know if you lose your hand, two hundred yuan is a farmer's harvest for a year. Grandma said.

Jia Lei took the cloth bag from Aunt Chunxing's hand and couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that he had misunderstood his aunt and grandmother. I have been patronizing and sad for the past few days, and I don't care about anything else, even the food is cooked by the people in the factory, and it is sent directly. After he was reborn, he didn't go out to buy anything at all, so he didn't think about money, and he didn't take the two hundred yuan in his eyes at all.

Jia Lei glanced around, and with the memories in his mind, he took out a key from under the small flower pot on the balcony, opened the drawer of the only toilet lock in the house, and took out a carved wooden box from inside. He took an iron moon cake box pressed under the incense candle to the bed and opened it, and the moon cake box was Jia Aiguo's relics, including wallets, keys, pens, watches, and donations from all the workers in the factory to Jia Aiguo, 5 cents per person, more than 3,000 yuan!

The other box contains important documents such as photos, ID cards, household registration books, military discharge certificates, and driver's licenses. There was also a small purple-black box inside, and he was stunned when he opened it!

Inside are pieces of silk wrapped in jewelry and small antiques, as well as four fans, one of which is still ivory, which occupies a quarter of the space.

And that's not the most surprising, the most surprising thing is a pink diamond necklace! The main body of the necklace is made of pink diamonds over two carats from small to large, and the oval pendant below is visually ten carats in size. There was also a pink diamond bracelet of the same style in the box, which he had never seen in his previous life.

Where did his ancestors get these things from the eight generations of poor peasants? Jia Lei couldn't help but think.

There are only two things in this pile of things Jia Lei feels familiar, that is, the pair of gold earrings and a piece of jade pendant, the gold earrings have seen the jade pendant on the ears of Mrs. Zhou, and it belongs to her younger brother Zhou Xing.

Jia Lei still remembered that he had a similar piece in his previous life, which was broken in a fight with the children of the Zhou family, he touched his chest with his hand, and the hard jade pendant under his hand was still there in this life.

My aunt and grandmother casually pulled aside jewelry and jade objects such as pink diamond necklaces and jade bracelets, picked out the gold jewelry and gold bars inside, and pushed the silver dollars together.

"You have to put away these valuable things, this is the heirloom of our family's Lao Jia, and it will be passed on to our children and grandchildren in the future, remember to pass on the male to the female!"

Jia Lei looked at the pink diamond necklace and the fine jade bracelet she put aside like rags, and there was also an ivory comb studded with precious stones! Jia Lei couldn't help but take things to his side.

"These things are just worthless, and ten years ago they would have gotten into trouble when people saw them, and my share was thrown into the well!" said my aunt with a disdainful look.

"How can this be a jewel and a diamond that is not valuable?" asked Jia Lei in surprise.

"Don't you know that when there was a disaster in the past three years, your uncle was sick, and the family couldn't open the pot at that time, so I risked my life to take out a few things and go to the pawnshop to give twenty yuan. Not to mention the lack of money, the pawnshop people kept asking where the things came from? I was so frightened that I didn't even dare to take the things and hurriedly ran home, and then I exchanged a pair of two-pound gold bracelets that your grandmother gave me for a wedding in exchange for fifty yuan and one hundred pounds of rice to save your uncle's life.

Later, it was even more terrible, ten years later, the Zhang family, who was the little wife of the landlord in the east of our village, was beaten because a pair of jade bracelets and a few gold rings were searched. Luckily, I was clever and threw everything into the well that night when it was dark, and there was a bracelet in it that was exactly like this one!

I think when I got married, I was still young and ignorant!I was dazzled by these shiny things, and I picked a few kinds of goods to make a dowry, but fortunately, your grandmother accompanied me with a full set of gold jewelry to make a dowry!" my aunt recalled.

****

"Where did these things come from?" Jia Lei couldn't help but ask.

"This is what my father got when he was fighting, and the chaos in the Northeast in the past twenty or thirty years! Old Maozi, bandits, and warlords, fought back and forth, and your grandfather changed his clothes several times at that time!

But my dad is a little minion, although your grandfather can't fight, but he has a good horse. He relied on this skill to be able to follow the commander without going to the front to fight, and he could also catch one or two pieces every time he divided the spoils.

But the good things are all rewarded by the generals and wives, otherwise he can catch these good things with a horse breeder!

Like gold bars and gold bracelets or something, they are all from the chief above, and every time they are distributed to your grandfather, they are fans, jade and silver jewelry, and other worthless things.

Instead, he dug up the gold bars from the house of a chief whose whole family had died, and he took advantage of the pit he had dug when the chief hid things. But your grandfather has been dead for decades, and the gold bars are running out. My aunt recalled.

"Speaking of this pink necklace, your grandfather personally took it off a foreign woman, and it is said that a group of them rushed to the house of an old nobleman. Everyone rushed into the house, but your grandfather was left alone to watch the horses.

The foreign woman jumped from the stairs and fell to her death not far from your grandfather, and this thing called a diamond was so bright in the sun!

Your grandfather thought that the clothes worn by the foreign woman were good, and estimated that the things she brought would be valuable, so he hurriedly went up and took off all the jewelry he was carrying. Refuse your grandmother to say that the woman still has a pair of earrings on her body that she didn't take off, and when the woman's brain fell out, your grandfather didn't dare to take it off.

But your grandfather didn't take his things in vain, his old man dug a pit for the foreign woman at that time and buried him, so that he could not be violent, and the corpse and the corpse of the wilderness were gone. Grandma said proudly.

Jia Lei listened to it bluntly! Thirty years later, the TV series dare not make it up like this, this is actually true!

But why haven't you seen these things in your previous life?

Maybe it was stolen when I didn't see it.

****

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, and my aunt and grandmother hurriedly packed the money and things in a box and stuffed them into a drawer and locked them. Then the door was opened, and it was Grandma Zhou who came in.

"Aunt Aiguo, what are you doing here?" Grandma Zhou asked as she looked at the open box, confiscating it if there were no too valuable things in it.

"Aren't I helping the child sort out things, the child is young and ignorant, what time has it been, and I haven't gone to the grain and oil store to buy this month's grain and oil back!"

His family and Jia Aiguo are acquaintances, and he and Lao Zhou treat Jia Aiguo as their own children. I've seen him take out money from this box before, and she was afraid that Jia Lei was still young and ignorant and would cheat the money away. Thinking of this week, grandma decided not to go home for the time being, stay here to help watch the point, don't let people cheat the child.

So the two middle-aged and elderly women chatted for a short time, and the topic of chatting was biased to the recent sharp rise in prices. Grandma Zhou also complained like her aunt that the unit has not paid benefits recently, and the cloth tickets and industrial rolls are gone! Everything has to be bought with money.

My aunt and grandmother also felt that things were getting more and more expensive, but fortunately, in the past few years, the village had distributed the production to the households. Life is much better than before, at least I can eat enough!

However, life in the countryside is not as good as in the city, and the average person in the village cannot earn 100 yuan a year, unlike the workers in the city who hold iron rice bowls! Birth, old age, sickness and death are covered by the country, but it is particularly difficult for rural people to enter the city, and the hukou alone is a big problem, and they cry when they talk about their aunts and grandmothers.

"Old sister, I'm miserable! I'm going to be strong, and I've been strong all my life, but I haven't given away a single child even if there is a famine. Who knew that now that life is good, he is going to sell his daughter. Among my two sons and three daughters, Sanni is the youngest, younger than her eldest brother's second nephew! This child has a good life! Soon after she was born, the exercise ended, and later she was separated, and she has never suffered since she was a child.

My mother-in-law has always been patriarchal, and when she was hungry, the big girl asked my mother-in-law to change 100 catties of grain to marry into the mountains. The second girl has an idea, but she has a kind object, but she has not been sold. Even the 100 bride price given by my in-laws was taken away by my mother-in-law, so I gave Erya a piece of red cloth to make clothes. It's still the bedding I paid for the girl, but I didn't expect to come to Sanni...... It's all separated, and she still won't let me go!" "Grandma Zhou pulled Grandma Zhou and began to pour a stomach full of bitter water.

This matter is simple and bloody, but it is particularly in line with the atmosphere of the time, just like the bad habits of raising children and daughters-in-law, there is no such thing in the big city, but there is still yes in the countryside.

****

Aunt Chunxing's grandmother had a triple mother-in-law when she first got married, and after decades of hard work, she was finally able to make her own decisions. Unexpectedly, the great-grandson of his mother-in-law's beloved uncle's family fell in love with a beautiful girl in the town and wanted to get married.

The girl's family asked for a bride price of thousands of yuan, and the old lady couldn't take it out, so she paid attention to the remaining children. The old lady went to the other children's houses every day after eating, and the words were all about the baby great-grandson who was going to get married, and they should do their best to add some congratulatory gifts to the Su family's eldest grandson.

But at that time, the countryside was poor and no one was rich, and only a few families pooled more than 400 yuan. The other party wants to add the TV three times and one ring.

The old Su family couldn't come up with so many dowries, and later the girl's family said that they would ask for 800 yuan in cash if there was no TV. After all, Mrs. Su spent a lot of money to build a new house in order to marry her daughter-in-law in the town, and someone gave the old lady an idea to change her parents!

Sanni has a good life, and when he can go to work in the production team, he will already have the production distributed to the household! She is the eldest in the family and younger than her two nephews, of course, she doesn't have to go to the field under the sun.

Sanni is beautiful and white, about 165 tall, not short or short, just right, is a famous beauty in ten miles and eight villages. The lame carpenter in the town of 35 is willing to pay 800 yuan as a bride price to marry her, and Aunt Chunxing will naturally not agree!

The baby daughter is not yet 18 years old, how can she marry a cripple!

I can't stand Mrs. Su's willingness!

The girl that the great-grandson likes is a townman, and after getting married, the great-grandson's rural household registration will become an urban household registration, and he can eat commercial grain!

Sanni's grandmother went to her aunt's house and said that this matter went to Aunt Chunxing, and naturally she still didn't agree, but the two didn't know how to fight, and Mrs. Su's head hit the stone and broke a small hole.

The old lady immediately lay on the ground and said that her aunt and grandmother were going to beat her mother-in-law to death, and her aunt and grandmother couldn't stand the trouble between her mother-in-law and her sister-in-law's family for three days. Especially the reputation of the family is ruined, and several grandchildren are about to marry daughters-in-law!

She could only agree with tears, or the whole family would be drowned by the spitting stars of the villagers.

****

The old lady said, either marry Sanni! or give 800 yuan to his grandson to marry a daughter-in-law, otherwise this matter will not be over!

The old lady is very good at calculus, if Sanni can marry a lame carpenter, she can not only get a bride price of 800 yuan, but also often help her mother's family in the future. After all, a carpenter is a craftsman who earns a lot, even if the other party is almost twenty years older than Sanni and has a dead wife and two children over fifteen years old.

In fact, my aunt brought Sanni to SH this time to compensate for her daughter and take her out to see the world.

The second is to make a dowry for Sanni, in her previous life, her aunt and grandmother had no money to buy a ticket, so she could only buy a train ticket by herself, and then went back with a meager dowry.

In this life, I saved my own ticket money, and my aunt decided to get two decent dowries for my daughter in SH! So my aunt tried to offend all the elders of her mother's family and snatched a place to come to SH from the Jia family.

When my aunt said this, Sanni came back from washing her clothes, and she blushed when she heard about her marriage!

Grandma Zhou wiped her tears and said that Sanni was pitiful, and she patted her chest and promised to take Sanni to Nanjing Road to do a few face-saving dowries.

Before my aunt took Sanni out, she took out a stack of tickets from her pocket, counted out a dozen and stuffed them for Jia Lei, "Give! According to the rules of our hometown, I want to give a gift to the junior for the first time!"

****

The same action, the same words, and the previous life is not bad at all, except for the work clothes on the aunt's grandmother, even a small flower drawn by a child who does not know which child on a ten-yuan ticket is exactly the same.

"Auntie, I don't lack money!" Jia Lei pointed to the drawer and said,

"Take it, this is a rule that can't be broken!" Chun Xing said and left with Sanni, and their mother and daughter wanted to take advantage of their free time to get a dowry.

Jia Lei looked at the fifty yuan in his hand composed of many one or two yuan of change and cried!

It turns out that he was also loved by someone in his last life!

In her previous life, her aunt and grandmother still gave herself this money under such a difficult situation, and that was the most she could take out at that time.

Later, when he became an adult, his aunt's family did not help him, Jia Lei couldn't help but go to the corridor to look through the glass, just as Aunt Chunxing was leading Sanni through the yard full of clothes, a pair of black hot pants with holes in the knees were fluttering in the wind.
