Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Sixty Peasant Mother-in-law (6)
After speaking, Qiao Mu threw Qiao Yong in the living room, went to the bedroom by himself, pretended to look for it, and then took a cornucopia from the warehouse of the penguin farm, and deducted a small gold ingot from the cornucopia.
pinched the little gold ingot and looked at it:
"No, the purity of this gold ingot is too high, and it looks too delicate to explain."
Thinking of this, Qiao Mu put the little gold ingot back again, continued to rummage in the warehouse for a while, and finally, he picked a fifty-year-old ginseng, and put the ginseng in the processing workshop to concoct it, and then took it out and put it in a wooden box, and walked out with it.
walked up to Qiao Yong and handed over the wooden box:
"This is what I pressed at the bottom of the box, you can sell it at the acquisition station, there is no more, more than 200 yuan can be sold after all, and you can start your own house."
This house is left by me to San'er, and it must not be given to your family to marry, so go back if you have nothing to do! ”
The original body attaches great importance to this house, and even has always fantasized that his youngest son can get married in this house, so it is naturally impossible for Qiao Mu to give this house to the children of the old family to marry, even if it is his great-great-grandson.
I'd rather give money than not.
"Mother, this ...... You ......"
Qiao Yong was a little in a hurry for a while, it was not to pick up, it was not to answer, and his eyes were still secretly glanced up, looking at Qiao Mu's face.
"If you want to take it, take it!"
That is, in this era, there is really no place to make money, and almost all the ways to make money are written into the criminal law, so Qiao Mu is willing to take a ginseng out to fund him, if it is a different era, it is the nineties or eighties, it will only scold him and deserve it, and then throw him out.
"Mother, I'm ...... I can't take what you press at the bottom of the box, so you just don't think I've been here! ”
Qiao Yong was really embarrassed to continue, he had already felt very embarrassed to come over and say that he wanted to borrow his mother's house, but Qiao Mu even took the things at the bottom of the box and asked him to take them to the acquisition station to exchange money, which made him feel a little embarrassed and ashamed.
As he spoke, he wanted to run out of the door.
Qiao Mu saw the change in his expression and knew that he was really desperate to come, in the end, he was the son of the original body, could he really ignore it?
Hurriedly reached out and grabbed him:
"Enough, bring me something!
By the way, if there is any money left in the house in exchange for ginseng, remember to go to the town to buy some fine grains and send them back, I am now old, and the coarse grains are uncomfortable to eat, and I plan to boil some porridge and drink in a casserole at home.
Okay, don't be awkward, take the things and go back, take advantage of the slack to get up and get married, and when you go back to June and July, who will have time to help your family get a house? ”
As he spoke, he was very tough, and forced the wooden box in his hand into Qiao Yong's arms.
"Mother, thank you, it's all my incompetence!"
Qiao Yong wiped his tears again as he spoke, he was a good man, he was like Daiyu, and he didn't cry much after Daiyu stood up.
"Okay, okay, let's go back!
I'm going to sleep, don't disturb me. ”
Qiao Mu really didn't want to see an old man with a wrinkled face and black crying and calling her mother, he was really panicked, and when he saw him take the wooden box, he hurriedly drove him away.
Qiao Yong didn't dare to disobey, so he could only go out of Qiao Mu's house very aggrieved, stood at the door of Qiao Mu and pondered for a long time, and finally went back with the wooden box.
Qiao Yong's family
Wang Tao was already standing at the door when Qiao Yong went out, hoping that Qiao Yong could come back with some good news, if she could really occupy the old lady's house, four or five rooms would be cleaned up a little, which would be enough for her remaining great-grandchildren to get married, and at least she didn't need to worry about the lack of houses for at least ten or twenty years.
When he saw Qiao Yong's return from a distance, Wang Tao hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, of course, he didn't forget to carefully observe Qiao Yong's face when he walked forward, and wanted to know the success or failure of things through Qiao Yong's face.
And Qiao Yong's face at this time is actually not good, there are regrets, chagrin, and shame, but there is a faint hint of joy in these tangled emotions, so many emotions are entangled, which makes his face look very strange, and even vaguely hideous.
"How's it going, old man?
What does my mother say? ”
Wang Tao walked to Qiao Yong's side and asked busily.
Qiao Yong shook his head:
"No, my mother said, the house should be reserved for the younger brother, but my mother gave this!"
As he spoke, Qiao Yong handed the wooden box in his hand to Wang Tao, and he was still a little reluctant in his heart, even if he didn't know how to look at the number of years of ginseng, he also knew that the ginseng in this box was very precious, and it was very likely that his wife kept it for his life, and it was a good thing that really pressed the bottom of the box, but he didn't expect to take it out for the marriage of his great-grandson now.
"Can't do it?
What good things can she have! ”
As soon as he heard the two words, Wang Tao's face suddenly collapsed, and he reached out to take the wooden box with disdain, opened it at will, glanced at it in the dim light, and sneered:
"You also hold a thick grass root in your arms like a baby, and your mother is embarrassed!
The great-grandson will give this thing when he gets married! ”
Because Wang Tao never thought that the old lady would have anything good in her hands, she thought that the family property had already been divided when the family was divided (although this was indeed the case), so she didn't think that the things in the box would be more precious things such as ginseng, but only thought that they were garbage.
"Shut up!
It was the ginseng at the bottom of the box, and the mother told me that this thing could be sold for more than 200 yuan at the purchase station, and if a private buyer could be found, the price should be more expensive!
Help me take a leave of absence tomorrow, and I'll go to town and see if I can sell this ginseng. ”
Qiao Yong glared at Wang Tao and commanded.
Wang Tao was taken aback, full of disbelief:
"How is this possible?
Don't be fooled by your mother, with the background of your family's eight generations of poor peasants, where did the ginseng come from to press the bottom of the box? Do you think your mother is a young lady? Don't go back and take it to the buying station and say that you want to sell ginseng and be beaten out. ”
The poor family, in fact, has never even eaten much traditional Chinese medicine, so naturally they don't know precious medicinal materials such as ginseng, and Wang Tao's first impression of the poverty of the original body is too deep, and he doesn't think that the original body can come up with such a precious thing at all.
"Shut up you, didn't you hear?
That's the kind of ginseng I saw when I was a kid.
I'll know when I go to the acquisition station tomorrow, you keep your mouth shut for me, no one will treat you as a dumb person if you don't speak, just don't you know about it? ”
Qiao Yong didn't intend to leak this matter, so he immediately said seriously.
