Chapter 45: Gold and Copper Coins

"Lan Lan is not allowed to be naughty, your brother Bai Sheng is still hungry!" stopped Wei Lan's nonsense, and Grandma Li calmly let her let go of Bai Sheng's hand and stood aside obediently.

Seeing Wei Lan obediently pursed her mouth, Grandma Li signaled to Bai Sheng in a veiled manner, asking him to stay calm and not speak indiscriminately, so as not to say the wrong thing because of excessive nervousness.

The little girl grabbed her skirt with her little hands, crossed her steps swayingly, and looked at her grandmother pitifully, as if she couldn't wait for her grandmother's instructions at all, and wanted to play with her big brother.

It didn't seem to be revealed, and Grandma Li and Bai Sheng were relieved.

"Alright, Lan Lan! Don't make trouble, the big brother is hungry, let's hurry up and go make food for the big brother, okay? Touching Wei Lan's little head with pity, Grandma Li gently took her little hand and took her away.

"Okay, make something for the big brother!" Wei Lan stuck out her tongue at Bai Sheng and responded happily.

The two wanted to leave, and Bai Sheng naturally had to follow, but he was blocked by Grandma Li, who was one step faster.

Signaling to let Bai Sheng stay, Grandma Li deliberately separated Wei Lan first, not wanting her to see some clues, although the child is only seven years old, but he already has a certain understanding of death, and will be particularly sensitive, especially the perception changes of some small things around him.

Children are gifted and spiritual, looking up to the heavens and the earth, and can often see things that ordinary people can't touch; Especially for the simple Lan Lan, Grandma Li was afraid that she would see some dirty things that she shouldn't see.

Look up three feet, there are gods. It's not superstition, ghosts, Grandma Li believes that there may really be.

Regardless of whether Lan Lan heard the conversation between the two of them just now, Grandma Li didn't want her to let her know the fact that her father was dead at this time, because it was inappropriate and inappropriate.

Life and death are major matters, and they must be cautious, Grandma Li thought that she had to officially tell Wei Lan about Wei Xiaozi's death; Otherwise, there may be some bizarre deviations.

A woman's intuition is sometimes so unreasonable, yet irrefutable.

At this time, when Grandma Li looked at Wei Lan, the little girl's body trembled slightly; And this is what Bai Sheng didn't see, and it was also something that Grandma Li, who was still pondering, didn't notice it.

Shaking her skirt, Wei Lan covered up the unnaturalness for a moment.

Since I was a child, my grandmother has taught me to be well-behaved, Lanlan must be very well-behaved and strong!

I can't let my grandma and big brother see that I'm sad, I can't, I can't!

Lan Lan is very well-behaved, Lan Lan don't cry!

"Grandma, why doesn't my big brother come with us to my house! Do you dislike Lan Lan? The little hand pulled the dress hard, Wei Lan tried her best to restrain herself, she wanted to cry, but she still held back.

"No, no, Lan Lan is the cutest!" Waving his hand again and again, Bai Sheng hurriedly explained.

Being praised like this, Wei Lan was barely happy.

"Big brother is a little tired, I want to take a rest at my grandmother's house!" Hurriedly took over the words from Bai Sheng, Grandma Li grabbed Wei Lan's hand and slowly tightened a little, "Lan Lan, let's hurry up and cook for the eldest brother." ”

"Yes!" Nodding heavily, Wei Lan squeezed the smiling face hard.

The little girl's crying changed very quickly, making Bai Sheng have to laugh, but Grandma Li's heart sank.

It just so happened that at this time, Old Man Wu rushed into the door in a hurry, saying that he had something to do with Bai Sheng; Grandma Li took the opportunity to leave with Wei Lan, who had been looking at Bai Sheng reluctantly. Old man Wu was arguing to eat; made Grandma Li laugh and scold him for being in his fifties, and he kept thinking about eating; made Bai Sheng and Wei Lan laugh.

The atmosphere was not depressing, Grandma Li hurriedly pulled Wei Lan away, and Bai Sheng chatted with Old Man Wu.

"Xiaosheng, did Mrs. Li give you something special just now?" Old man Wu glanced outside, and found that Grandma Li had no possibility of coming back, so he asked in a low voice to Bai Sheng.

His voice was very small, and he didn't even forget to look back when he spoke, for fear of being heard by Grandma Li, who came back suddenly.

Immediately Old Lady Wu guessed Grandma Li's intention to find herself, Bai Sheng was stunned for a while, and it was difficult to answer, but he did not deliberately hide it, after all, sooner or later, the people in the village would know about it.

"Yes, Grandma gave me this!" Slowly took out the gold and copper coin, Bai Sheng presented it in front of Old Lady Wu, and also wanted to understand what special meaning this gold and copper coin had from his mouth.

"Gold and copper coins!" Staring at the glittering bronze coin, Old Man Wu was extremely shocked, and pondered for a while before saying, "I thought it would be something else, but I didn't expect the old woman to give you this gold and copper coin in the end!" ”

"Old lady Wu, can you pay attention to what you say?" is open-mouthed to Old Lady Wu, and doesn't care about etiquette at all, Bai Sheng is also very helpless, but now Grandma Li is half of his grandmother after all, he must be persuaded.

"Gaffe, gaffe!" Old man Wu was very embarrassed, he was taught a lesson by a kid, but on weekdays, he and a group of old men called Grandma Li like this, and they were a little used to it.

"Not next time, I'll pay attention, be sure to pay attention!"

Old lady Wu took the initiative to admit his mistake, and Bai Sheng did not delve into this issue; But from the moment Old Lady Wu saw the gold and copper coin gaffe, Bai Sheng understood that he could learn something from him.

"Old lady Wu, what kind of precious method is this gold and copper coin?" Eager to know the story behind the gold and copper coins, Bai Sheng hurriedly asked, "Why are you so surprised, and Grandma Li has already used it to make me half a grandson!" What is the reason for this? ”

"So that's the case, then it's no wonder!" Looking at Bai Sheng, Old Man Wu thought to himself: Although this kid is a little stupid, his character is still good, otherwise I am afraid that the old woman will not give away the gold and copper coins.

He has been with the old woman for some years, and the old man Wu knows the preciousness of gold and copper coins, if the old woman is just to thank Bai Sheng, she will never give away what she regards as her life, but with Bai Sheng, half a grandson, the situation is completely different.

The old woman's eyes are vicious, and Old Man Wu believes that she will not be wrong with the person she sees, and he himself also recognizes Bai Sheng's performance when he helped the village just now, thinking that Bai Sheng is not a bad boy.

Overnight, the more a person's conduct is in the face of difficulties, the more real it becomes.

Old man Wu had half a foot in the coffin, and Bai Sheng gave him the impression that although he was immature but affectionate.

Bai Sheng is affectionate and righteous, and it is enough to learn to let go in the face of money; He only needs to learn how to make up for the remaining shortcomings in the future.

Bai Sheng still has time, but Jiuyang Village has long run out of time.

The gang is at least in their fifties, so how can they continue to walk?

Jiuyang Village has declined, and it really needs to be replaced with a new gatekeeper.

The replacement of the old and the new is inevitable, and the more the old man Wu knows the situation in the village, the more reluctant he becomes.

If I could be a teenager younger, this would not be the case; It's a pity that time waits for no one, and people can't resist the erosion of time after all.

Clenched his old fists, looking at the hands that were not very angry in the past, Old Man Wu was bitter and blamed himself, he was sorry for Bai Sheng, and he could only push some hard things on this kid.

"Xiao Sheng, since you are already a member of the village, I still have to tell you some things!" I don't know why the old woman didn't tell Bai Sheng about the gold and copper coins, and Old Man Wu didn't have any scruples, he felt that he had to let Bai Sheng know about this matter first, otherwise it would be unfair to Bai Sheng.

Bai Sheng happily responded, "Okay." ”

"This gold and copper coin is not just a coin, but also a inheritance of our Jiuyang Village chief!" Fingering the gold and copper coins, Old Man Wu changed his previous naughty character and became extremely serious and serious.

"What!" Bai Sheng was shocked and stood up solemnly, "Then I will never accept this gift!" ”

If this gold and copper coin is just a relic of grandma and a child, Bai Sheng can still accept it, but now when it comes to the major events of the entire village, the copper coin carries too strong feelings, no matter how much he is an outsider, how dare he admit it!

Holding the gold and copper coin in both hands, Bai Sheng solemnly handed it to Old Lady Wu, hoping that he could help take it back and transfer it to Grandma, so that he would not have to look at Grandma sadly, and he would not be rejected by her.

In front of his grandmother, Bai Sheng didn't have the confidence to let the old man take back the gold and copper coins again.

"This is given to you by the village chief, I don't dare to take it casually!" Naturally, he refused to accept the gold and copper money, but the old man Wu didn't have the guts, he was afraid that the village chief wouldn't cook for him in the future; And he also understands the old woman's personality, she is not a person who will easily give gifts indiscriminately, let alone take back what has been given.

This gold and copper coin is the hope of everyone in the village, and Old Man Wu can only revere it and dare not desecrate it.

Old lady Wu refused to accept it, and Bai Sheng didn't want to take it back, so the two were deadlocked.

"Xiaosheng, I didn't mean to embarrass you. You have to tell the old lady about this in person! "It's very difficult for him to be ashamed of Bai Sheng, but Old Man Wu really can't agree to his request.

"Okay!" Bai Sheng was very helpless, when things came to this point, he really couldn't help it.

To solve the bell, it is necessary to tie the bell, and to solve the matter of gold and copper coins, Bai Sheng knows that he can only go to his grandmother to discuss, as for the people in the village, they are afraid of it, and they can't easily mix in.

It's just that how to make the old man take back the gold and copper coins with peace of mind, Bai Sheng really doesn't know how to speak.

If it's too direct, it will chill grandma's heart; If you don't make it clear, it won't work at all.

"Xiaosheng, even if you go to her, it's useless!" Old man Wu could see Bai Sheng's entanglement, and he was a slap on the head against him, "She is a stubborn person, if you don't want it, I'm afraid you'll have to throw it away!" ”

"Even if it's difficult, you still have to find ......" has been refusing to accept this gift, Bai Sheng still wants to return it, but halfway through the words, he shut up. What else could he say when he thought about the future of the old people.

It's that people are selfish, Bai Sheng really can't bear this weight, but he can't be too selfish now, let alone ruin a trace of a village because of this, he has to slowly withdraw his hand.

"Xiaosheng, don't blame her for this, she also has her own troubles!" Walking to Bai Sheng's side, Old Man Wu patted him on the shoulder, "If you really don't want it, just talk to Grandma Li, she won't force you." ”

didn't explain too much, Old Man Wu didn't want Bai Sheng to wronged himself because of sympathy, so he gave him enough room to choose.

"Well, I'll think about it!" The significance of the gold and copper coins is extraordinary, and Bai Sheng didn't know that it was okay before; But now that he knows, he has a psychological burden, and he doesn't dare to make a decision easily.

Old Lady Wu was vague, and Bai Sheng found that there seemed to be some problems between Jiuyang Village and the gold and copper coins.

"Master Wu, why don't you see any middle-aged people in the village?" Bai Sheng was very curious, because from the beginning of the fight, except for Wei Lan, a child in the village, he did not see any middle-aged people and children.

In Jiuyang Village, there are only the older generation, and there seem to be two layers broken in the middle.

Still asked this question by Bai Sheng, Old Man Wu was depressed, and the whole person felt bad, he was in a gloomy shape, turned his head to look at the painting hanging in the main hall, and after a long time, he eased up.

"The younger generation in Jiuyang Village has all passed away!" As soon as he mentioned the disaster in the past, Old Man Wu was vague, and he was slightly pale when he bowed his head and feet, and he almost felt exhausted.

"What's the reason for that......" I wanted to know the reason, but as soon as Bai Sheng spoke, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, it reminds you of the sad past!" ”

The young people of dozens of families in the village were all dead, and just thinking about it made Bai Sheng feel palpitations.

Hey, Old Man Wu let out a long breath. After being suppressed for so long, he suddenly said what was buried in his heart, although he was very sad, but he was not so sad that he couldn't live, but he was more relaxed.

Maybe it's time to let go of years of guilt and self-blame!

"People can't live in the shadows all the time, they have to come out and see the outside world!"

Unloading the burden in his heart, Old Man Wu smiled with tears in his eyes.

Seeing this, Bai Sheng hurriedly made amends, and tried his best to comfort Old Lady Wu, afraid that he would be overstimulated.

"It's okay, I'm really fine! What are you thinking, Lao Tzu will be such a fragile person! Seeing Bai Sheng's face depressed, as if he was going to die, Old Man Wu was very unlucky, he figured it out, not only did he not continue to be sad, but he was more comfortable, "However, I really have to thank you kid!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Don't dare to be favored, Bai Sheng hurriedly smiled.

"Okay, you kid should call me Lao Wu in the future!" I couldn't see Bai Sheng treating himself as an old guy, Old Man Wu was very angry, "What is the old lady, I'm so old!" ”

"This generation is too messy!" Although he didn't care much about etiquette, Bai Sheng still didn't dare to disrespect the old man.

"What kind of hypocrisy is it, let's talk about it as equals." Accustomed to it, Old Man Wu just wanted to make Bai Sheng's friend, "What kind of seniority, I hate trouble the most!" ”

"This ......" Bai Sheng hesitated, he also hated trouble, but grandma was not easy to pass.

"What, you're still not happy?" Seeing that Bai Sheng didn't promise himself, Old Man Wu was ruthless, "Your kid is half of Grandma Li's grandson, and I am half a generation younger than her, and now I deign to make friends with you, that's your kid's blessing." I don't even mind, don't you kid still mind! ”

The seniority is one level older, and it is unclear to be reasonable.

This scoundrel is playing, Bai Sheng has no room to resist at all.

"Okay, okay!" Hurriedly responded, Bai Sheng didn't dare to disobey, for fear of being tossed by Old Lady Wu.

"That's right, Xiaosheng!" It's rare to know a young man, and Old Man Wu is very happy.

In the past few years, I have been living in the past; Now that he has met Bai Sheng, Old Man Wu has also come out of the past, and he suddenly finds himself living as if he was young again.

Seeing that Wu Lao figured it out, Bai Sheng was relieved.

The people in the village are very kind, but what about Wei Zijian?

"Old Wu, that ......" As soon as Bai Sheng spoke, seeing that Old Man Wu's face was wrong, he hurriedly changed his words, "Ah, no, Old Wu, Wei Zijian is also from your village?" ”

"No, he moved in later!" When it came to Wei Zijian, Old Man Wu suddenly remembered that he still had a question, "Xiaosheng, did you know Wei Zijian before, why did you come to the village for him?" ”

"I, I'm here to mourn, he's dead!" After hesitating for a moment, Bai Sheng still told the truth.

"Even Wei Boy ......" couldn't bear to look directly, Old Man Wu was in a very bad mood, he staggered back, and almost fell. Bai Sheng wanted to hold him, but he waved his hand and refused.

"That's it, that's it, life and death are destined by God!" Old man Wu felt compassion in his heart, and suddenly thought of a question, "Does Wei Lan know about this?" I see she came a long time before me! ”

"I don't know, we haven't told her yet!" Staring at Wu Lao in surprise, Bai Sheng was a little strange, "This matter is definitely not suitable to tell her now, wait for grandma to find a suitable time, so as not to stimulate her." ”

"That's good, this matter must not be rushed!" Old man Wu was also worried about Wei Lan, afraid that she would not be able to accept it as a child, but when he came in, he found that the little girl was a little abnormal, "When I was rummaging at home just now, I had already seen Lan Lan rushing towards here!" ”

"The ...... rushing over" Bai Sheng was instantly stunned.

"You're saying that Wei Lan has been here for a long time, and she's very happy!" After confirming the matter with Wu Lao again, Bai Sheng thought that the little girl walked in calmly just now, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
