Chapter Fifty-Eight: Dong Changhu's Gift
You must know that duck eggs and goose eggs are usually pickled into salted eggs, and they will not be cooked and eaten like they are now.
Xue'er also felt sorry for the deceased Dong Xue'er at the moment, and in her memory, Dong Xue'er couldn't get so many eggs during the Dragon Boat Festival every year. It would be nice to be half of what it is now!
In fact, since Xue'er and Yun's ate the same meal as Dong Changhe, her food has improved a lot compared to the original owner, and her popularity has also improved a lot, although she is still thin, but she is not the skinny look.
There is a little flesh on the face, arms and legs, the hair is not as dry as before, and the skin is fairer.
Although the person as a whole is not chubby, it is also Yuxue cute.
Now she has two meals of goat's milk to drink every day, two boiled eggs to eat, although there is not meat to eat at home, but as long as she makes meat, she can also eat, not only eat better, but also eat full.
This made Cher already feel satisfied.
This body should have a good foundation, but the acquired nutrition did not keep up, so she had the skinny appearance when she first came.
Cher believes that it won't be long before the missing nutrients can be replaced, knowing that the food she eats now is pure natural and uncontaminated.
There is no genetically modified food, and there is no such carbonic acid that destroys the health of the body.
In addition to her lack of security, Cher loves the living environment here.
After using the morning food, Xue'er took out the cloth bag from last night from the "sleeve" in front of Dong Changhe and his wife.
Under the surprised eyes of the two, he said: "This is what my third uncle secretly gave me last night when my father was talking to my uncle, and asked me to hide it, saying that it was a dowry for Xue'er, and that I should not tell outsiders."
Because the uncle was there at the time, I didn't want the uncle to think too much, so I accepted it.
Father, mother, what is a dowry? ”
Cher blinked, pretending to be innocent and asked.
Yun reached out and took the red cloth bag and opened it, and saw two silver bracelets of good color lying there quietly, the size was just right for an adult woman to wear.
It is engraved with the pattern of rich peony, the style is very novel, and it is a new style at a glance, and the daughter's family will like the color.
The husband and wife glanced at each other, and the Yun family didn't know why Dong Changhu, the uncle, would give Xue'er such valuable jewelry.
Dong Changhe knew the thoughts of his third brother, he was still resentful that his two of them didn't pay attention to Xue'er, and he was afraid that he would have a son in the future, so he would ignore this daughter even more.
If he is not mistaken, in the future, his third brother will often send some valuable things to Xue'er, so that the girl can save it and use it as a dowry in the future.
It can be seen that the third brother really loves his daughter, and even treats her as his daughter.
In fact, his third brother still underestimated him, although he neglected his daughter in the past, he was indeed patriarchal. But the child is his own after all.
He will find a son-in-law for Xue'er in the future, and he will also buy her a decent dowry. He still has this ability.
Thinking of his father's earnest words, Dong Changhe looked at Xue'er with a complex and deep gaze.
After a long time, he smiled and said: "The dowry Xue'er will know when she grows up, this bracelet is your third uncle's heart, since he gave it to you, you can put it away!" But be sure not to let anyone know about it anymore. ”
"Lang Jun!" The Yun clan didn't want such a young child to hold such a valuable thing, and the two bracelets added up to six or seven taels, plus handiwork, how could they be worth ten taels of silver.
Dong Changhe knew that he owed this child a lot over the years, and he really didn't want to be greedy for what his younger brother gave to the child, so he said to the Yun family: "Okay, since it's for the child, it's for her." The lady will let her keep it herself! ”
"But ......"
"It's nothing, lady, you have a lot of jewelry, so leave it to Xue'er as a dowry!" Dong Changhe was a little unhappy.
His wife is a very tight hand, and he has always known that he has bought less jewelry for her over the years. But after all, this is given to the child by his younger brother, and the Yun family can't be greedy.
And making a dowry for Xue'er is equivalent to the dowry you bought for your children, which is not a loss.
"The concubine body doesn't mean that, the concubine body means that she is such a young child, holding such a valuable thing, once it is lost, then ......
Besides, the child is still young, if this is taken out to show off, it will be difficult for the third brother to be a man at that time. Seeing that her husband was unhappy, Yun hurriedly explained.
What his wife said also made sense, Dong Changhe thought about it and said solemnly to Xue'er: "This bracelet is very valuable, it would be a pity if Xue'er lost it."
Besides, since your third uncle gave it to you secretly, he just didn't want others to know, and once others knew, it would not be good for him.
Knowing that Cher is a smart child, can you promise to keep it well? And don't show it to anyone? And won't tell anyone about it? ”
The Yun clan was in a hurry there, but it was not easy to interject.
Xue'er bowed: "Dad, Xue'er knows, the third uncle secretly gave it to me last night to avoid the uncle's sight, and Xue'er didn't open it at all, so she put it away directly."
And Xue'er hadn't opened the cloth bag just before that.
The third uncle is good to Xue'er, Xue'er knows, and she doesn't want to cause trouble for the third uncle, so Xue'er will definitely keep it a secret and won't talk about it to anyone.
Because her father and mother are not outsiders, Xue'er said this to her father. ”
Dong Changhe was relieved, and he was really relieved, knowing that his daughter was alert and intelligent, but he didn't expect her little person to be so cautious and reasonable.
That sentence that his father and mother are not outsiders made him feel ashamed as a father, and the child's innocent and trusting eyes made him feel that he had nothing to hide.
Thinking that he almost lost such a good child two months ago, he felt how irresponsible he was.
Thinking of this, Dong Changhe took the bracelet from Yun's hand, rewrapped it in a red cloth, and handed it to Xue'er: "Xue'er, you take it well, don't carry it with you, hide it yourself, and keep it as a dowry when you grow up."
Your mother doesn't want to be greedy for your things, she is worried that you are small and don't know how important you are, but your father believes in you. ”
In fact, Xue'er wanted to test the couple, she had already guessed that this thing was almost a bracelet, and she wanted to know how the couple would choose in front of the money?
Xue'er smiled, she didn't reach out to take the cloth bag, and said to Dong Changhe: "What my father and mother said makes sense, I'm small, and it's not good to keep this valuable thing after all, so let my mother help Xue'er keep it!" ”
Dong Changhe was proud of his daughter's trust and sensibility, and the Yun family was really relieved.
