Chapter 129: Ancestral Embarrassment

Duan Huan felt that she was still a little bean now, why did Grandpa Xu think of his children.

Although he was not very interested in Grandpa Xu's proposal, in order to make him happy, Duan Huan still smiled and said:

"Okay, then I'll find a door-to-door son-in-law, give birth to a few more dolls, and let Zuzu help me bring it!"

"You girl is not ashamed! How do you know about the son-in-law who comes to the door? At that time, Zuzu was so old that he still had to bring you a baby? Grandpa Xu laughed and scolded.

Duan Huan said to Grandpa Xu that she was not ashamed and didn't care, "Then Ancestor, you have to eat and drink well, raise your body to be strong, and be happy every day, how can you live to see my children give birth to babies!" ”

When the third jar was opened, all kinds of delicate boxes were taken out of it.

These are the jewels of the ancestors of the Xu family and the hostesses of all generations.

From gold and silver heads to various jewels and jade, there are even diamond rings and earrings inside, which are thought to be diamond jewelry after the late Qing Dynasty.

This modern and retro style is exactly what the drunken and gold-obsessed Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China eras.

In the last two jars, most of them are filled with various cultural ornaments and stationery supplies.

In fact, the cultural ornaments are basically men's toys, and the four treasures of the study room seem to be all here except for the paper.

There are also seals of various colors and materials, not all of which are engraved, and some of which are cut in the style of seals and have not yet been engraved with seals.

These seals look like things that are a long time ago, and according to Grandpa Xu, counting three generations from him up is not material for reading.

Seals must need some cultural heritage, and they must have been handed down by the old ancestors.

There is a gilded elephant-eared Xuande furnace in a box, and the Xuande furnace flicks it with his fingers, and it really makes the sound of gold and stone.

The stove is a good stove, as for the authenticity of this is not clear, there have been many imitations of Xuande furnace in history.

However, even if this Xuande furnace is not genuine, it is also an antique with a high value and price, after all, it has a long history.

Huanhuan's favorite is the ivory ghost ball, such exquisite carving skills, all by hand, really have to kneel for such a craftsman.

Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong was particularly fond of ghost balls and often played with them in his hands, which shows its exquisiteness.

There is also a wishful thinking, no, no, no, it's definitely not that Duan Huan is secretly poking and calculating anyone.

Rather, there is indeed a ruyi ornament carved from wood, and a miniature abacus is inlaid on the handle of mahogany.

Seeing that he was playing with the wishful thinking in his hand, Grandpa Xu smiled and said:

"I think you're a money rotor, and you're not enthusiastic about this! It's called wishful thinking! Zuzu, I used this abacus to learn when I was a child!

You see that I also knocked a mark here, and at that time, I was rewarded by your ancestor Taizu with a meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots! ”

It's too extravagant! Learn abacus with such ornaments? It can be seen that Grandpa Xu must have lived a prosperous and comfortable life when he was a child.

"Zuzu was also beaten when he was a child?" Marvel at it.

Grandpa Xu touched his eyebrows with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "How can there be a doll that doesn't get beaten!" I don't like to read since I was a child, I love to listen to dramas and watch the juggling team play big knives, so I was cleaned up by your grandfather in three days! ”

"It's also good to play with a big knife, strengthen your body! You won't be bullied when you go out! "I never felt that reading was the only way out.

"Why haven't you been bullied, there are people outside the world, and the juggling team is all showy!

Cut (fight) with a rudder handle's doll and was beaten miserably!

In the end, it was your ancestor who invited me to a fist and foot master and learned martial arts, so I didn't get beaten! ”

Huanhuan is very curious about that era, the old and new ideas alternate, and the social class judges heroes by strength, which is brilliant and turbulent.

"Then the ancestor worshipped the master and learned boxing and kicks, so he joined the army?" Wan Huan asked

"I was only a few years old at the time, and I wasn't much older than you. Serious kung fu, after I returned to the village, I learned from the great monk of Longxing Temple, that is called a bitterness!

I practiced three dogs in summer and three nines in winter, and I had to carry water for my master, sweep the floor, wash and cook. Grandpa Xu talked about his childhood experience of learning martial arts.

Duan Huan finally knew when Grandpa Xu's cooking skills began to be full, "Can there be meat to eat in the temple?" ”

"You little glutton, why do you care about meat!" Grandpa Xu smiled, "Speaking of which, my great monk master is a wine and meat monk, and he takes me to teach me hunting every day, just to eat meat!" ”

Duan Huan nodded in agreement, "Only by eating meat can you grow tall and strong, otherwise you will have the strength to practice martial arts!" ”

"Not really! If you are a vegetarian, my master has to eat more than 20 steamed buns at a meal, and he will not have to destroy the temple for others! Grandpa Xu laughed.

It is indeed quite rare to see such an open-minded and straightforward monk.

Duan Huan asked: "Then after learning kung fu, Zuzu went to join the army?" ”

Grandpa Xu shook his head and said:

"My great monk master left a letter saying that he had gone out to travel, but he never heard from him and never came back.

After a few years, your aunt and ancestor married far away, and then your grandfather also passed away, and I left the village to go to the dock to run goods and earn a living.

Joined the team by mistake in the Northeast, and on the battlefield, Zuzu was in good health because he had practiced martial arts. When I fought for bayonets, one person topped three, and I spent most of my life like this! ”

Grandpa Xu has been riding horses for half his life, and now he is in a safe corner, and he is still full of nostalgia when he talks about his past experience. If it weren't for the pleasure, he would most likely have dedicated his life to the cause he loved.

Grandpa Xu was obviously in nostalgia, and he didn't speak, giving him time for the old man to reminisce.

When Grandpa Xu woke up from his memories, he asked Duan Huan to quickly put away these jars.

Now is an eventful time, their family is already living a good life and is envied, and these things are indeed very valuable.

Although most of the people in the village are very simple, the human heart is often the most elusive thing.

If someone has a heart to find out, there must be a mess, or it's safer to put it there for Huanhuan, anyway, these things were originally left for her.

Duan Huan didn't say anything and put these things away, these are the personal wealth accumulated by the Xu family for generations.

In the future, if there is no special emergency, Huanhuan will not use it.

Passing it down from generation to generation means more than anything else.

It was the summer harvest when the male and female veterans of the whole village went out collectively, just to grab the harvest and seeds, to catch up with the right season, to take back the wheat and rapeseed, and the seedlings should also hurry down to the field.

Grandpa Xu still went to help drive the car according to the custom, mainly because there were not many people in the village who could drive the livestock car.

And cattle and horses are tempered, cattle and horses are wild, these beasts will really bully life, and they can't really be cold.

Grandpa Xu definitely didn't get any work, at most he waited for the wheat straw to dry and gave them a match to be used.

Everyone is busy in the fields, including the inspection team in the countryside, and they also have to fulfill their own agricultural work targets.

They assigned themselves a task plot, and they had to finish the work in this field.
