Chapter 24: Extraordinarily Valuable
Tong Chuxue looked over, it was a middle-aged woman who had never seen a fortune before, and there was a middle-aged man next to her, who seemed to be her husband, followed by a man in his teens, who was estimated to be her son.
But who is this?
Luo Changhua, who was already sitting at the table, saw someone coming, and stood up from the chair with a strange expression, "Sister, why are you here?" ”
When Luo Hui'an saw the middle-aged woman, he was also surprised, "Auntie, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
The person who came was the only daughter of the Luo family - Luo Changhui, since she got married, she has not been close to the Luo family on weekdays, so the relationship with the Luo family is plain, and it is really strange that she suddenly appeared here today.
"Changhua, moving is such a big happy event, you don't wait for us to come together, how can you say that we are also sisters and brothers, you can't be authentic if you break bones and tendons." Luo Changhui pretended to complain a few words, and didn't hear the question just now.
"Mother, there is braised pork!" Luo Changhui's son Lei Haizheng was already sitting on the chair, pointing to the braised pork on the table with an expectant expression.
Seeing that the meat dish was so weighty, Luo Changhui felt that the saliva in his mouth was secreting more, and he took her husband Lei Qianfu to sit down unceremoniously.
I didn't go wrong with this meal today.
was someone who had never been invited, and when he came, he sat down so naturally, Tong Chuxue was almost stunned by the shamelessness of the family.
But in the countryside, the visitors are guests, and today is an important housewarming banquet, Tong Chuxue remembered that last night Xu Jinniang told her not to cause trouble at the housewarming banquet, it was unlucky, even if Tong Chuxue was angry, she could only choose to endure it temporarily.
Luo Changhui's operation embarrassed everyone in the three parties of the Luo family. After all, Luo Changhui greeted Luo Changhua as soon as he opened his mouth, and the people next to him could not guarantee that they would not think that Luo Changhui was called by Luo Changhua, so the faces of everyone in the third room were a little embarrassed.
However, what others think, Luo Changhui doesn't care, anyway, it's not her who is embarrassed.
"Aunt and uncle have forgotten something, I'm afraid I haven't given this gift money yet, right?" Luo Hui'an suddenly spoke.
At this moment, Luo Changhui's eyes were already glued to the braised pork on the table, and he was coldly reminded by Luo Hui'an, and a moment of annoyance flashed on his face.
Generally speaking, it is not good to go empty-handed to participate in other people's housewarming banquets, and the invited people will bring some eggs or the like, or give a little money directly, which means that they will not eat your meal in vain.
But when Luo Changhui came, he obviously didn't give anything, so he just sat down directly.
"I saw that my aunt came empty-handed, and I thought that since I didn't bring anything, I thought that I was going to give the gift money. I don't know how much my aunt plans to give? Luo Hui'an asked slowly and methodically, his attitude was very sincere, but every word was stuck in Luo Changhui's sore spot.
When the atmosphere was stagnant, Lei Qianfu put on a posture of being familiar with everyone, and jumped out to play the family card, "It's all my own family, what do you say about money or not, it's outside." ”
"That is, we and my little brother are all family, and Changhua will give it to us." Luo Changhui said, anyway, she is thicker than her skin, no one can compare to her, and if she wants to pay for it, there is no door.
"My aunt laughed, since my aunt has married into the Lei family, she has entered the genealogy of the Lei family, how can she still say that she is a family with us." Luo Hui'an stated calmly with a calm face, and then looked at Tong Shan, "Uncle Lizheng, I bother you to explain, this woman is married, but she can still say that she is a family with her mother's brother." ”
Tong Shan, who had been watching the development of the situation, could not continue to be silent, Luo Hui'an handed a ladder up, and he naturally spoke, "According to the law of my dynasty, when a woman marries, she enters her husband's family tree. In terms of kinship, the woman and her maiden brother are a family, but in terms of personal contacts, the woman should follow her husband's family. ”
After receiving Tong Shan's reply, Luo Hui'an looked at Luo Changhui, "Auntie, how is it?" ”
Luo Hui'an moved Tong Shan out to speak, and Luo Changhui couldn't directly oppose Li Zheng, his face was displeased, and he stabbed Lei Qianfu beside him with his arm. Lei Qianfu seems to be a master who bullies the weak and fears the hard, and being looked at by so many pairs of eyes, he laughed twice, "Actually, I was prepared, you see that I have too many things, and I forgot about it accidentally, come, Snow girl." ”
As he spoke, Lei Qianfu took out two coins from his pocket and handed them to Tong Chuxue.
Tong Chuxue pinched the two coins and laughed dryly, "A few people eat and drink well." ”
Two pennies, thanks to their Lei family, they can get it, and generally those who come to participate will be given about ten pennies. However, everyone has given it, if Tong Chuxue is still picky, it seems that she, the master, has no stomach.
Tong Chuxue loaded the money, turned around and went back to the kitchen to help Xu Jinniang serve the food.
As soon as she entered the kitchen door, Xu Jinniang, who was busy on the stove, raised her head nervously, "What's wrong, but something happened ahead, I seem to hear a voice." ”
Tong Chuxue smiled and shook her head, "What can happen, it's just that Li Zheng and the people from the Luo family are here." Mother, I'll give you the fire. ”
What happened outside, Tong Chuxue had no intention of telling Xu Jinniang, anyway, it was just a small advantage, and it was nothing.
Tong Chuxue stirred with a branch to stir the fire in the stove, and heard Xu Jinniang ask, "I see a pot of grass in your room, what is it?" ”
"Mother, that's not grass." Tong Chuxue hurriedly explained that if Xu Jinniang accidentally lost it one day, she would lose a lot, "That's the dendrobium I dug back from the mountain, but it's valuable." ”
It's a pity that Xu Jinniang didn't believe it, "If there was such a valuable thing in Houshan, it would have been dug up by others a long time ago, how could it be your turn, I think you are afraid that you are not deceiving people." ”
"Mother, if people know that there is a treasure in the back mountain, even if they bring it to the coffin board, it is impossible to say it casually, after all, who doesn't want to eat alone." Tong Chuxue analyzed.
"Yes." Xu Jinniang thought for a while and nodded, "However, I'm afraid that thing is not easy to feed." If it is easy to raise, someone must have raised it a long time ago. ”
Hey, Xu Jinniang's brain is occasionally quite bright, Tong Chuxue thought to herself.
"Mother, don't worry, this thing can't be raised in other people's hands, but it will definitely be able to be supported in my hands." Tong Chuxue swears.
"Alright, don't talk big." Xu Jinniang wanted to laugh when she saw Tong Chuxue's confident appearance, since it was a precious thing, how could it be raised casually, "I don't know if it can really be sold." ”
"I've inquired, and the old Chinese medicine doctors in the town have told me that it's worth at least a hundred taels." Tong Chuxue said mysteriously.
At this moment, Xu Jinniang was so frightened that she almost didn't hold the spatula, and asked in a trembling voice, "How much?" One hundred taels? "She's never seen so much money in her life!
Tong Chuxue nodded affirmatively.
"A grass is worth so much." Xu Jinniang still felt incredulous.
"Mother, it's not an ordinary grass, it's a traditional Chinese medicine, a very expensive medicinal material, that's why it's so valuable." Tong Chuxue explained to Xu Jinniang.
As everyone knows, Lei Haizheng outside the door heard these words.
