Chapter 40: The Golden Step

Old man Qu glanced at the box, didn't answer it, continued to bow his head and weave the basket in his hand, and said in a non-hurried tone:

"Well, it's this. The contents of the pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info should be able to be used as some money. At least it's enough for us to buy land and build a house. ”

"What's it, so valuable? Can you open it and take a look? ”

"You can see it if you want to, it's nothing unusual"

Xie Yujiao was very curious about the contents of the box and wanted to see it, so she sat down, put the crutches aside, and carefully opened the box.

"Wow!! What a beautiful hairpin."

"That's not called a hairpin, it's called a step shake," the old man glanced at her and corrected.

"Huh? This is called step shaking, similar to a hairpin, I don't think there is any difference" Xie Yujiao thought to herself, forgive her, she really doesn't know what the difference between a hairpin and a step shake is, in her opinion, as long as it is this kind of slender decoration that ancient women inserted in their hair, it is called a hairpin.

"Step shake, the woman is on the head, and she will shake it step by step. The hairpin is decorated directly on the bun. ”

I see, Xie Yujiao This is also the first time to see such a good-looking ancient woman's headdress, you must know that I have only seen it on TV in my previous life, and it is really the first time to really hold it in my hand, "Oh, so that's the case." Whose is this step, it's so beautiful. This must be made of pure gold, and it is also inlaid with rubies, so it must be very valuable."

The shake is indeed made of pure gold, because of the age is a little long, its own gold luster has been dimmed, only the red gem and the falling garnet still retain the original red.

At first glance, this object is not something that ordinary people can have.

"Well, it should be worth a few bucks." The old man still had a calm tone, focusing on the work at hand.

"Grandpa, this can't be grandma's thing?"

"Grandma? Which granny? The old man paused, raised his eyelids, and continued to weave the basket in his hand.

"That's it, it's your former wife, I call you grandpa, of course I should call her grandma"

"Oh, I don't have a lady."

"Huh? That, this"

"The children's families, ask so much what to do, just sell it for money, it doesn't matter who he is"

"You keep such a treasure, it should be the thoughts left to you by the people you care about very much, or let's not be it, anyway, we don't need money now"

In the end, the grandparents and grandchildren fought and decided not to shake the step first, and sold the black bear skin at the bottom of the box at home, which should be able to be exchanged for two or three taels of silver, plus the old man and the coffin book of five taels of silver, it should be enough to make it together.

The old man said, if it really can't work, this is about to start spring, and then go to the mountains to run a few times, and then start construction when you have enough money to build a house.

In this way, the grandparents quarreled and determined a better life in the future.

The black bear skin was from more than 30 years ago, and it was an old leather that had been quite old, so it would be good to sell it for three taels of silver.

The old man said, if this is a newly peeled fur, how can it be sold for one hundred and eighty taels, it is indeed a pity to sell it.

Xie Yujiao said that the bear skin has been used for more than 30 years, and the hair is about to fall out, and if it is sold, it will be sold, which is better than selling the ruby Jin Bu Shao, which is what my grandfather thought when he was young.

Xie Yujiao, who decided to settle down here, is finally down-to-earth now, at least the most down-to-earth time since she was abducted. She can't think about the future, she can be taken in by Old Man Qu and prevent her from becoming a homeless beggar, she feels that God has raised her hand in life.

Originally, the people in the village knew that the girl picked up by Mr. Qu went to the capital to join relatives, and maybe she would never come back in the future. For this reason, the children in the village are still a little pity, and they will lose a jade doll-like playmate in the future, and they are quite reluctant. Especially that kid from Futu, when he came to play with Xie Yujiao on the eighth day of the new year, he shouted that Xie Yujiao must not forget him, he is her savior, he must write to him, and when he grows up, he will go to the capital to find her.

"Grandpa Qu, you are at home, when did you come back? You weren't home when I passed by yesterday? Has Yujiao arrived in the capital? Have you seen her big brother? What does he look like? Is it good for Yujiao? Futu pushed open the courtyard door and saw Grandpa Qu weaving vine in the hall.

Futu didn't stop for a series of questions, Old Man Qu ignored him and let him ask and answer himself.

When I was talking about it, I felt that there was still someone in the room, and when I looked up, "Yujiao!! ”

His eyes widened like walnuts, he screamed, and immediately jumped over, grabbing Xie Yujiao and looking at it for a while.

"What are you shouting, I'm not deaf" Xie Yujiao couldn't escape Futu's claws due to a leg injury, so she had to tilt her head back, trying to avoid the face of this reckless silly boy.

"Didn't you go to the capital, what about your eldest brother, didn't you find it?" Futu didn't care if Xie Yujiao disliked him, the people who had already gone to the capital, now standing in front of him so vividly, how could he not be excited, and the mood that was still very lost was instantly replaced by happiness.

"Well, didn't find it"

"Great!" Xie Yujiao was able to return to the village, Futu was so happy that he didn't consider the consequences of Xie Yujiao's failure to marry.

Xie Yujiao saw Futu's smiling appearance, pretended to be angry, pulled out the arm that was caught, and said, "Hey, you are so happy if I can't get married?" “

"yes, so you won't leave the village," the rough-witted Futu still didn't react, still scratching his head and smirking.

"How do you know? How can I stay in the village without relatives and no reason? Is your family willing to take me in? ”

“??????” Futu thought about it, yes, Yujiao has nothing to do with this village, she was just temporarily taken in by Grandpa Qu to recuperate from her injuries, and now that her injuries are almost healed, there is no reason to stay, she still has to leave.

Immediately, Futu wilted and squatted on the ground.

It is impossible for his family to take in Yujiao, not to mention that his family has been surrounded by walls for treatment since his father fell ill, even his mother cannot take in an unidentified person for no reason.

It is even more impossible for other families in the village to take in Yujiao.

But in this case, what should Yujiao do? Originally, I thought that there was a distant big brother in the capital who could join the family, but now that the relatives can't be done, do you really want to watch Yujiao fall into the family?

Seeing him hanging his head and pulling his hair in a bun on the top of his head, Xie Yujiao also felt that he really cared about him.

"Boy! I'm dead when you are an old man, where do you need to worry about the girl! When Futu was blaming himself for not being able to help Xie Yujiao, the old man didn't raise his head, and suddenly said something out loud.

"Huh?" He didn't understand what the old man meant for a while, and raised his head, his big eyes full of question marks and puzzlement.

"Poof!" Xie Yujiao rarely saw Futu's stupid appearance, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Grandpa has taken me in, and I will be a member of this village from now on," she said with a smug face.

"Huh?" Futu was a little incredulous.
