Chapter 55: The Little Treasury
Xiao Hei's forelimbs pressed on the little madman's body, weighing dozens of catties, and with momentum, the little madman fell backwards and rolled to the ground.
"Blackie." Chen Ya shouted softly, and Xiao Hei, who opened his mouth, stopped, his head dangling on the top of the little madman's head.
This is deserved, I thought that anyone could enter casually, and now I should know that it is amazing.
"Remember to ask for the owner's permission before entering the door next time, and knock on the door at the same time, you know?" Chen Ping picked up the little madman, "Not everyone's door can be entered casually. ”
"Sooner or later, I'll eat your stew." The little madman glared at Xiao Hei, but after all, he didn't dare to step in recklessly.
After saying a few words to Chen Ya, Chen Ping went back to his house.
In the hall, there seemed to be some firewood added to the pottery jar, and the thin branches were picked up by Chen Ping and Chen An a few times ago. Father Chen was sitting at the scrubbed table, waiting for Chen Ping.
After closing the courtyard door, Chen Ping entered the hall: "Grandpa, are you waiting for me?" ”
"Yes." Father Chen pointed down, asked Chen Ping to sit down next to him, was silent for a moment, and said, "What are you going to do with the money?" ”
With the first, this is the second time, and there will definitely be a third, if not more. Last time, it was two hundred wen, this time it was more, it was piled up with a small cabinet, and Father Chen didn't know how much wen money this eldest child would be able to get back home in the future.
It's only been a little over a month, and it's changed too much. Before the eldest child fell ill, the family couldn't even afford to eat meat, so the rice had to be eaten sparingly.
It's hard to have meat almost every day, and it's three families together, more than a dozen people, which is unprecedented during the festival. Everything came too fast, and there were too many, Father Chen hadn't sorted it out yet, and he had thought about it for a few hours, but he still had to wait for Chen Ping to come back, and the total amount was total.
"Make this home better." Chen Ping didn't have too deep expectations, he could eat well, drink well, and then wear comfortably, and he would be very content to live with peace of mind.
Although sometimes I think of my relatives in another world, so what? Life has to go on, no matter when and where.
"Can you be more specific?" Chen's father was a little dissatisfied with his son's answer.
"It is to be able to eat meat every day, three meals a day, and be full at every meal. The house at home can be replaced with a brick house, adding new clothes to grandpa and younger siblings, wearing brocade robes, and cotton jackets in winter. Chen Ping said, this is a long-standing idea, it is very smooth, and he is immersed in it, "Put on a good bed, warm, and you can sleep peacefully and steadily in the winter night." It is better to have two slaves to do the work for Grandpa and Mother. ”
"Well, there is another important thing, that is, the toilet is too simple, it is better to change it." Every time I go to the toilet, I am exercising my endurance, not to mention the wooden chips, polished smoother, or barely possible, the key is the taste, as well as the fluid scattered around the toilet pit, it is really uncomfortable, Chen Ping would rather squat in Liuhe Mountain to solve it, rather than go to his own toilet.
There are quite a few of them. Father Chen listened with relief at first, but then his face changed.
Eating meat, three meals a meal, new clothes, cotton jackets, and toilets, if you are not satisfied with any of these, isn't that just dissatisfied with his grandfather?
"Okay, as you do, it can't be that noble child?" Father Chen just stopped Chen Ping, and if he wanted him to continue talking like this, this family would not be able to stay.
Faults everywhere, dissatisfaction everywhere, whose responsibility is this? Who is the head of this family? On the real book, the head of the household wrote his name Chen Xiaoyi.
"I just made so much money, and I thought so much." Father Chen reproached, "Let me ask you, whose little lady is that girl?" ”
"Which other family can it be, the daughter who came to protect the child." What he said just now should have hurt Grandpa's self-esteem, and Chen Ping also changed the topic with Grandpa, "When I met him in the county, I thought I would follow the lieutenant back to the village, but it turned out that I had to stay at my house and not leave." ”
Chen Xiaoyi stood up from the chair in shock, and his voice trembled a little: "You met on the road that day?" The one Xue Fucai said? Laigong's daughter, is that her? ”
is so young, a little rude, and the same age as Chen Ya, no wonder Chen Xiaoyi feels strange.
After the strangeness, there was worry, Chen Xiaoyi felt that his son must have offended the girl, so he specially found it: "Why did she follow you?" Was it last time? Didn't the lieutenant say that it would be fine? Grandpa took you over and apologized again. ”
This is a series of questions, Chen Ping didn't know where to interject and which one to answer.
It really deserves to be from the same village, and Grandpa and Aunt Li are still a little similar sometimes. But Chen Ping didn't smile, let alone disdain, this kind of strong concern, Chen Ping felt very warm.
"Grandpa, you can relax, she came this time because her brother was in charge too much, so she escaped." Chen An hurriedly grabbed Chen Xiaoyi, who was in a hurry to go out, "It's okay, didn't people still eat my dumplings?" ”
Besides, it's getting dark, so I went to knock on Aunt Wang's door, thinking about that picture, it's really too beautiful to see.
"Just eat a meal of dumplings?" Chen's father was also confused, I was afraid that the little girl was unwilling to stop the matter, so she came to Chen Ping, and seeing Chen Ping so stable, her heart was a little calm, "Tell me, why do people want to follow you?" ”
Grandpa was so persistent, Chen Ping had no choice but to tell what happened in the county. Of course, the scene in Chen Yuanliang's room was naturally hidden by Chen Ping, otherwise Grandpa would have to pull himself to apologize.
It's just worrying.
"Well, it's okay if you didn't take the initiative to provoke it." Chen Ping said in detail, Chen Xiaoyi nodded, "This kind of official eunuch will not provoke in the future, you did the right thing, but you didn't keep her at night." ”
This matter can be regarded as being revealed, Chen Ping remembered that the money to be given to Uncle Blacksmith had not yet said, and said busily: "Grandpa, there are 1,000 and 20 pieces of money in that small cabinet that belong to Uncle Blacksmith." ”
"Well, then take it out and send it to him." Chen Xiaoyi didn't ask any more about this, "Come in with me, count the money, and send it now." ”
In the east room, Liu was gently swinging the bed, and Chen Zhen was leaning sideways, revealing half of her face, sleeping sweetly.
The pattern between the east and the west is general, and the bed is much better, Chen Ping heard Liu say that the solid wood bed is still the heirloom of the Chen family, and it has been passed down for three generations to his grandfather's generation.
It looks old, but the tenon is very solid and solid, and it is not a problem to pass it down to several generations. From Liu's words, it seems that this bed is still used for his own wife.
After the bed, there was a vacant seat on the north side, and a wooden cabinet stood up, and Chen Xiaoyi gently moved it away, revealing a piece of dirt underneath.
If you look closely at the soil under the wooden cabinet, you can see that it is different from the surrounding mud, it is more flat, and there is a crack about two minutes wide on each side, like a trace of cracks in the mud.
Chen Ping saw that Grandpa gently picked at the square mud crack, and lifted a wooden board, and the square mud was covered on the wooden board.
Under the wooden board is a square pit, with green bricks glued inside, Chen Ping saw the small wooden cabinet containing the money, and beside the small wooden cabinet, there are some money with hemp rope.
"It turned out to be a small vault." This should be the point where he hides money, Chen Ping thought, the hiding is not bad, if you don't look carefully, you will definitely not be able to find it.
