"Brother Xiaolong, come on. Mom said you were looking for something just now, isn't this it? As he spoke, he pointed to the small bag between them. ”

Xiao Long nodded slightly and looked at Zhong Lingxiu.

"It was originally in the kang cabinet, but I didn't think it was safe to put it there, so I sewed it in my pillow." Zhong Lingxiu blushed a little.

"Sister Reiko wants to be closer to you. So put everything that has to do with you under the covers. "The lotus man is smart, and his mouth is fast, so Zhong Lingxiu's careful thinking guessed it. was told that she was breaking her heart, Zhong Lingxiu's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head embarrassedly. But there was no rebuttal, apparently acquiescing.

Xiao Long was a little moved, took Zhong Lingxiu's hand and said, "Thank you, Sister Lingzi." ”

Zhong Lingxiu twitched twice embarrassedly, but did not twitch, so she was pulled by Xiao Long. Lotus next to him, please coughed lightly: "Hey, I said two, let's pay attention to the impact." Fortunately, my eldest daughter-in-law is still there, you like the new and hate the old and only care about grabbing the little daughter-in-law's hand, is it a bit too much? ”

When she said this, both of them were embarrassed and hurriedly let go of their hands.

The lotus leaned into Xiao Long's ear and said softly, "Hmph, it's cheap for you." I didn't find out before, it turns out that Brother Xiaolong is also a big pervert. Brother Xiaolong, I helped you make a beauty, how can you thank me? ”

"Ahem, lotus, don't talk nonsense."

"Cut, and said that I was talking nonsense, look at your eyes, look at your mouth, whether it is all saliva, I can't wait to eat Sister Lingzi." Lotus said with a sour face.

"This" lotus said, so that Xiao Long really didn't know what to say. After all, he is an honest man, and he will not use rhetoric to please girls. For a while, his mouth was stammered, his face was red, and his ears were red.

"Giggles, giggles, Sister Reiko, look at Brother Xiaolong's face, it's like a boiled shrimp." The lotus giggles.

"Okay, lotus, let's let Xiao Long see Grandma Cheng's relics first." Reiko also pursed her lips and chuckled, but after all, he was older and had a calm temperament, unlike Lotus who loved to mess around.

"Oh" Lotus stuck out her tongue and fell silent.

Xiao Long reached out and took the small bag and gently opened it layer by layer. He noticed that his hands were trembling slightly.

Finally, as if a year had passed, the bag finally opened, and there were only two things in front of the eyes of several people. One is a longevity lock made of gold inlaid with beautiful jade, which is for children at first glance.

Xiao Long doesn't remember bringing it when he was a child, but he has a feeling that this thing is his own.

Beneath the longevity lock, a letter is pressed. The letter was sealed, and on it was written with a brush the four small characters of 'My grandson Xiaolong'. Very beautifully written.

Xiao Long gently opened it and pulled out the letter.

The letter was written by Cheng Xuejuan to Xiao Long, and it was not long, only a few hundred words. It probably means that Xiao Long's grandson, when you saw this letter, grandma was already dead, and I don't know how old you were when you saw this letter.

The letter said that she originally lived in Cloud City. In the year of sixty-six, she went to visit a friend in the provincial capital, and when she returned, she found Xiao Long in infancy on a bench at the train station. It was still winter, there were not many people in the station, she waited there for a long time and did not wait for someone to come to find her, at that time Xiao Long's little face was purple from the cold, and she was crying with hunger, she was soft-hearted for a while, and she didn't think about how an old lady in her sixties and seventy years old could bring a child who had not yet been weaned. Carried him home. She had no children or daughters, and gradually regarded Xiao Long as her grandson. Later, the relationship became deeper and deeper, and she was afraid that someone would come to Xiao Long, so she moved to the countryside and Xiao's family.

She hoped that Xiao Long would forgive her for being selfish.

also said that when she found Xiao Long, Xiao Long wore the long-life lock around his neck, because there was a traditional Chinese word 'dragon' on the lock, and the place where he lived was Xiao Jiaji, so she named Xiao Long 'Xiao Long'.

Obviously, this is a letter that has been prepared for a long time. Cheng Xuejuan felt that she was getting older and her body was getting worse day by day, so she left this letter in advance. And she knew that Xiao Long was still young and illiterate at that time, so she didn't give it to him at that time, but hid it under the cabinet where she packed her clothes.

Later, when Zhong Lingxiu helped Xiao Long clean up the house, and when she packed up the clothes and other things left by Cheng Xuejuan, she accidentally found the letter and the longevity lock.

As smart as she is, she naturally guessed that this was something left for Xiao Long, and naturally treasured it and collected it.

Holding the letter, Xiao Long's eyes moistened. Although he had suffered a lot, how could he blame her? If it weren't for her, perhaps, she would have frozen to death on the bench at the station.

Xiao Long held the longevity lock, and his heart was full of anger. It can be seen from the workmanship texture of this longevity lock that it is not something that ordinary families can have. And this is what his parents left for him. Who are they, why did they leave me, and abandoned me? Xiao Long clenched the longevity lock in his hand, and secretly determined that he wanted to find them, not to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, but to ask them why.

"Brother Xiaolong, don't be sad, you at least have us." Lotus took one of Xiao Long's arms, held it in her arms, and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Little Dragon" Zhong Lingxiu also wanted to be like a lotus, hugged his arm, lowered his head and leaned on his shoulder, but he was not a lotus after all, so she just reached out and patted Xiao Long's shoulder lightly.

"Well, I have at least you after me. If it wasn't for Grandma Cheng who brought me back, how would we have met. Xiao Long nodded heavily, stretched out his arms, and hugged them all in his arms.

At this time, Xiao Long had no resentment in his heart, and some were just happy.

Just when the three of them hugged each other and Xiao Long's heart was ape, Old Man Li's unique coughing voice suddenly came from the door: "Cough, cough, cough, that Xiao Long, your teacher is here." As he spoke, he opened the door very unkindly. Outside the door, a middle-aged man in a tunic with a pen pinned to his pocket and a pair of glasses on his nose walked in. Behind the middle-aged man, there was a middle-aged woman in a floral shirt, who turned out to be Xiao Dani, a widow in the village.

"Teacher, sister-in-law." As soon as Xiao Long saw someone coming, he immediately stood up, respectfully called the teacher, and then gave way to the kang.

"Well, don't call me sister-in-law in the future, call me wife." Zhong Lingxiu's father, Zhong Yongqiang, pushed the glasses on his nose, and said seriously.

Zhong Yongqiang's words, Xiao Long, who was surprised, almost didn't drop his eyeballs. It can be seen from Zhong Yongqiang's dress that he is a ruthless and old-fashioned and pedantic character. And that's exactly what happened. Zhong Yongqiang went to private school when he was a child and advocated the way of Confucius and Mencius. is not used to many things in the current society, and he also believes that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, so Zhong Lingxiu only graduated from primary school, and dropped out of junior high school.

I remember when I was in elementary school, Xiao Dani's man died and became a widow, and Zhong Yongqiang was a young man in the countryside, and he was alone with a child at that time. Xiao Dani was very good to Zhong Yongqiang at that time, but Zhong Yongqiang was more rigid and felt that women should start from the beginning, so Xiao Dani never had a chance.

Seven years have passed, and when he returned to his hometown, he didn't expect them to finally achieve positive results, how could Xiao Long not be surprised.
