Chapter 18: Family Background

At the head of the big bed in the east room, there is a half-person-high wooden box on the ground, with an open and closed lid on it, which the countrymen call the cabinet, in the Qinghe Bay area, almost every family has it, the material is the general wood, and there is a small rectangular box on the cover, the general old lady rarely opens the big box below, and Lin Qing does not know what the box contains.

I saw that the old lady first removed the small wooden box on it, Lin Qing looked at it, thinking that the next step should be to open the big wooden box below, who expected, the old lady pulled the box and dragged it out with great effort, Lin Qing was immediately stunned, "Milk, you have so much strength!"

"Silly girl, there's nothing in here at all, just a few torn clothes. The old lady patted her head amusedly.

The big wooden box was dragged out, and below was the ground paved with green bricks, and the old lady squatted down to dig out all the bricks piece by piece, and then took a shovel and began to shovel the soil.

Lin Qing somewhat understood, the old lady had buried all the things she had accumulated, so the things below it must not be simple, at least not now.

While shoveling the soil, the old lady said to Lin Qing, "In the current year, people who have eaten a meal and have not eaten a meal are popular wherever they go, those who inherit the family business of their ancestors, they have no rights and relationships, how many can keep it?

Lin Qing admired it very much, she always knew that the old lady was a visionary, courageous, and scheming person, she had been on the battlefield and established a public office, but she was not greedy for power and let go early, not to mention that it was ten years of darkness a few years later, and no one dared to touch a finger of the old lady.

Half an hour later, a deep pit appeared under the old lady.

It's very deep, really deep, much deeper than the foundation of the house, Lin Qing looked at it, remembering that the Zhang family occupied the old lady's house in the previous life, it is estimated that even if it is pushed to the heavy cover in the future, it will not dig out the things underneath, the old lady is really ruthless enough.

The old lady sat down and took a breath, and Lin Qing hurriedly brought out a cup of goat's milk from the space, "Milk, drink it quickly, it's still hot." ”

After taking a few sips, the old lady smashed her mouth, "Everything in that space is good, we can't get rid of the fishy smell of this goat's milk when we cook it outside, but there is no fishy smell of goat milk in the milk drinking space." ”

"Well, everything in the space is good. Lin Qing was a little proud, "Milk, in the future, we will use the space for eating and drinking, it is good for people's health, and it is absolutely guaranteed that milk can live for more than a hundred years!"

The old lady didn't care, "What are you doing for a long time? Just be content, more than a hundred years old, your milk has become sperm!"

"Milk, you can't think like that, you should think like this, we will be together for as long as you live, milk, you can't ignore me. Lin Qing pursed his lips.

When the old lady heard this, she thought about it, and laughed, "Okay! Listen to the good grandson, the milk will live for him to be one or two hundred years old!"

Lin Qing twitched the corners of her mouth, more than a hundred years old is enough to go against the sky, two hundred years old, it is estimated that she will die before the old lady.

After resting, the old lady went down to the bottom of the pit, peeled off the floating soil on it, and revealed two wooden boxes side by side but could not see the color, and the old lady wiped the lid of the wooden box nostalgically, "This thing is ironwood (iron birch), and it will not rot for many years." I put it in your space first, and I'll open it for you later. ”

Lin Qing could collect anything he wanted within three meters of the surroundings, and according to the old lady's request, he collected two boxes, and then filled the pit with the old lady.

After trying their best, the grandparents and grandchildren finally filled in the pit, the green bricks were paved in their original positions, and the big wooden box was also pushed back into place, and the old lady didn't want to wait for a breathbreak, so Lin Qing took her into the space.

The two ironwood boxes were placed by Lin Qing on a grass outside the space castle, the old lady found a rag to carefully wipe the boxes, and asked Lin Qing to dig out the wire in the castle, and took the wire to tinker in the keyhole for a while, not to mention, it really let the old lady tinker!

"Milk, why do you know this?!" Lin Qing was envious, and his eyes looked at the old lady with double eyes.

The old lady was a little proud, "When my grandmother was young, I learned it from a comrade-in-arms in the army, and his family's ancestral craft, but unfortunately I didn't come back from the battlefield, and my grandmother learned it half-heartedly." ”

Taking off the lock on the box, as soon as the old lady opened the two boxes, Lin Qing's eyes were dazzling.

Luxurious sapphire bracelets, bracelets, bracelets, necklaces, studs, etc., gorgeously cover the top layer of the box.

The old lady kept taking out the sapphire in her hand, and below was a ruby as red as blood, which was mixed with a lot of opal, "These gems were bought from foreigners at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and they were very authentic and rare. ”

As she spoke, the old lady took out the ruby and opal again, and the bottom was a mezzanine, and after opening, the top row was jadeite, and the glass species of imperial green, purple eyes, smurfs, and rare real blood jade, pieces of irregular shapes, put side by side, it was very beautiful. Take out the jadeite, and at the bottom of the bottom, there are "little yellow croaker" (gold), which are full of rows.

"At first, these are carefully selected by your grandmother as heirlooms, after the outbreak of the war, your grandmother originally planned to sell a part of it, and after taking the money, it was good to give it to the milk and the brothers and sisters of the milk, but the brothers and sisters of the milk were too ruthless, and they all secretly dragged the relationship to a foreign country, and your grandmother and grandfather were so angry that they had a serious illness, and before leaving, they gave these things to the grandmother, saying that it was a dowry for the milk. The old lady touched the gems and jadeites one by one, and her tone was a little sad.

"Grandma, grandma and grandpa are so good to you!" Lin Qing changed the topic at the right time, and pretended to be greedy and grabbed a ruby bracelet and asked, "Grandma said that this is a dowry for me, does it still count?"

The old lady suddenly laughed, "Money-hungry girl, the milk is just a good grandson of you, who will you not give it to?! The milk is brought by your mother's family, and your uncle's share of the Lin family is still for you." ”

Lin Qing's curiosity suddenly rose, "Milk, tell me, what good things did my uncle leave for me?"

"What a money-grubber. The old lady laughed and teased, the sadness in her heart was long gone, "The Lin family used to be a scholarly family, but unfortunately the children and grandchildren withered, your father (the old lady's husband) has no father and mother since he was a child, all of them were brought up by your uncle, and your uncle was also married. The Lin family is left with your grandfather and your uncle's two single seedlings, and it is useless to have a big family, and in troubled times, they simply sold part of their family property and returned to Qinghewan, the ancestral land, for decades. ”
