When I heard Shi Xiucui say this, I was also a little nervous. I don't think Grandpa Guo Carpenter will blame me, and he won't blame me for taking out the money he hid next to the kang cave and giving it to Shi Xiucui. Suddenly thought about it again, this is money for Guo Shuiling, Guo Shuiling is the granddaughter of your old carpenter Guo.

But if I really did it, would Guo Deguang blame me? He's been back, and we've eaten and drunk together. If I know about the money, why don't I tell him when he returns.

Thinking about this, I'm a little confused.

"Dunzi, what are you thinking, why are you in a daze? You didn't say you had something to tell me, but don't be scared, I'll stay here alone at night. Shi Xiucui was both curious and scared.

"I didn't mean to fool you, don't worry, I'll tell you slowly!" Seeing that I was serious and said it, Shi Xiucui also quieted down and listened to me.

"Do you remember that Uncle Quan Bao and I cleaned the kang cave for you once, right?" I asked Shi Xiucui.

"Of course I know, when I first came here, I remember that Uncle Quan Bao was the first to talk to me, and you and your mother. You are all good people, and I have not forgotten this. Shi Xiucui didn't say very resolutely, maybe she remembered something at that time.

"When Uncle Quan Bao and I cleaned the kang cave for you, he cleaned up the kang stove outside, and I cleaned up the dust in the kang cave inside. When it was over, I found a brown paper bag near the chimney in the kang hole.

I opened the bag out of curiosity and found that there was a lot of money inside. ”

"It's okay, you've helped me so much, I won't care if you take the money. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about it, you're an honest kid. Shi Xiucui thought I was a classmate in her substitute class, so she took the initiative to admit her mistake.

"No, I didn't take that money, I can't spend that much money at all, there seem to be seventy or eighty thousand in it!"

"What, how much do you say, seventy or eighty thousand! You can't be kidding me! Shi Xiucui's expression is not too much to describe as shocked.

"Well, right where the chimney is near the edge of the kang, that is, at the tip of the kang, that place should not be too hot."

Here we call the place near the kang stove "Kang Touer", and the place near the chimney "Kang Touer". The place where the old carpenter hid the money was in Kang Zi'er.

"You mean, you haven't touched the money, and it's still there?"

"I don't know, I haven't touched it anyway." I quickly cleared myself.

"Then you didn't tell anyone?" Shi Xiucui asked.

"Don't worry, I won't say it to anyone." This time I told Shi Xiucui.

"If you didn't take it, it must have been taken by Liu Quanbao."

"Aunt Xiucui, how can you lie to a good person, I saw that you said that you were going to the provincial capital and lacked money, so I told you. If Uncle Guo hadn't left in a hurry after he came back, I would have told him about it.

You'd better see if the money is there first, don't always say I'm Uncle Quanbao. Under my reminder, Shi Xiucui also found the root of the problem.

"You can help me, I can figure out where the specific location is!"

Shi Xiucui called me over there, and I could only pass. Soon, we found the brown paper bag that was still tightly wrapped.

Not only Shi Xiucui, but I felt my heartbeat speed up a lot. When Shi Xiucui peeled off the kraft paper layer by layer, thankfully, the money was still there.

"Dunzi, there is really so much money here, there are really more than 80,000 yuan!"

"I told you, I didn't lie to you."

"Dunzi, are you sure no one told anyone?"

"Don't worry, I definitely didn't tell anyone else." I feel like I've said this sentence a few times.

"This, this water spirit was left by her grandfather to the water spirit!" Shi Xiucui muttered.

"Aren't you scared at the mention of him?" I thought it was very unauthentic to say this, but I blurted it out.

"Aunt Xiucui, I'm going up the mountain to find medicinal herbs, it's almost ten o'clock, and Uncle Quanbao will let me go back to eat at noon!"

"What are you going back to do, my aunt will cook for you, you say you want to eat something! No, my aunt will go to the county and buy it for you. Shi Xiucui was a little out of proportion.

"I really don't eat here with you, I just hope that with this money, you and Shui Ling can live better in the provincial capital." I don't know what to say to Shi Xiucui.

I looked at Shi Xiucui's extremely excited appearance, I didn't know what else to say to her, I thought it was time for me to leave.

The money left by the old carpenter Guo was thus possessed by Shi Xiucui. I've been holding this in my heart for about three years! I don't know why I didn't tell Uncle Quan Bao about this at the beginning, was it my own greed? Ask yourself, when I first saw the money, I was so excited. That's the most money I've seen since I've grown up. But do I really want that money? I don't think so.

Shi Xiucui watched me leave, and first calmed down. After finding an older dress, she first changed the packaging of the money, and then burned the kraft paper that had wrapped the money. After that, I found a schoolbag containing books, took out some of the books inside, and put the more than 80,000 yuan in. When she went out, Shi Xiucui really looked like a simple rural substitute teacher.

When she arrived in the county, Shi Xiucui took a bus to the provincial capital again. After more than two hours of bumpy driving, fortunately she didn't meet characters like Hu Erleng, who had insulted her on the bus before, and finally she finally came to the provincial capital.

In front of the savings window of the Bank of China, Shi Xiucui trembled and opened her schoolbag containing money. The staff at the window saw her rustic clothes, and their faces showed a look of disdain.

"You need an ID card to open an account." The staff said expressionlessly.

"This is my ID." Shi Xiucui carefully took out her ID card.

"Oh, it's still from the provincial capital. Is this your ID card? If you fraudulently use someone else's ID card, it's illegal! The staff was a little surprised, feeling that there was a bit of a gap between the woman outside and the girl on the ID card.

"This is my ID card, I married in the countryside and started a business with my husband, but I didn't move my hukou, mainly because I wanted my children to go to school."

Shi Xiucui knew that this bank staff couldn't understand why she wanted to marry in the countryside, and it was unthinkable for a person from a provincial town like her to go to the countryside.

"This passbook has been completed for you, how much money do you want to save?" Although the staff did not understand, the business was still very proficient.

"I've got eighty-five thousand here, so save them all. I'll take it out in two days when I buy a house. Shi Xiucui said as she observed the staff on the other side of the glass.

"This, that's it! If you withdraw more than $20,000 at a time, you should notify us in advance. ”

"Okay, I'll let you know in advance." Shi Xiucui spoke a lot harder.

After finishing the deposit, Shi Xiucui suddenly remembered that she should keep some money for herself. She went to the next bank and withdrew two thousand dollars without hesitation. After getting the money, she went to the mall first to buy a set of clothes. Bought another leather bag that looks good. She used the cloth bag that originally contained the money, filled the old clothes that had been changed, and threw them into the trash can outside the door.

Shi Xiucui felt a little hungry, so she found a dumpling restaurant and had a delicious meal. At the checkout, the waiter said that it was twenty-eight yuan, and she paid it without hesitation.

"You forgot to find your money!" The cashier shouted Shi Xiucui.

"Look at me, I'm sorry I forgot. Thank you! Shi Xiucui smiled and took back two yuan.

Shi Xiucui didn't want to go home to live, and she didn't want to go back to Xiangyang Township, let alone where to go! Shi Xiucui was bored and returned to the house where her parents lived before they were divorced.

Looking at everything that was once familiar, Shi Xiucui always had a feeling of never parting.

"The house feels good, just a little old. I think it's better to forget it, I don't like the old building very much. ”

"I'm sorry, you're talking about a building to sell, I'm going to buy a house here, if you don't want it, can I go and see it." Shi Xiucui saw a pair of lovers talking about the house, and immediately came to her senses.

"It's the third floor of that unit, it's a three-room house, but I don't like the layout." The woman answered Shi Xiucui enthusiastically, and then walked away with the man.

Isn't this the original house of my house? Shi Xiucui's tears almost didn't stay at this moment. She suppressed her heartbeat and struggled to climb up to her former door.

"Who?"

"Looking at the house, I heard that your house is going to be sold!" Shi Xiucui knocked on the door, but there was no door inside.

"I'm an old building, don't look at it if you buy a new building. Don't read it anymore, you won't get along. So saying, an old woman opened the door.

"Grandma, as long as you sell this house, I will definitely buy it."

"How do you mean that?" The old woman looked at Shi Xiucui suspiciously.

"I used to live in this house, but I moved out because my parents divorced. Now that I have the money, I want to buy it back! Shi Xiucui said.

"You are, you're Cuicui!" The old woman looked at Shi Xiucui.

"You, how did you meet me?"

"This one! I don't know you. It was your mother who left me a letter when she left. He said that when her daughter came back to her, she gave the letter to her daughter. said that it was your name, what was your name, I remember her telling me that your nickname is Cuicui. The old woman said.

"Yes, my big name is Cuicui, and my little name is Cuicui. I am her daughter, can you give me the letter? Shi Xiucui asked the old woman.

The old woman opened a drawer in the closet, took out an envelope, and handed it to Shi Xiucui tremblingly.

Shi Xiucui unfolded the letter and read it carefully.

"Cuicui: I'm my mother!

By the time you read the letter, I had left this sad place.

I can't allow your dad to betray me........................

I have prepared 200 yuan for you in the letter, and if you want to live with me, come to me at the following address

……………………”

Shi Xiucui saw the letter left by her mother, and her tears couldn't stop flowing. Her feelings were very complicated, and the only thing that made her clear was that the letter was written by her mother.

"Here's two hundred dollars, which my mother asked me to leave to you. Thank you for sending this letter to me. ”

"Then you came here to really buy a house?" The old woman was obviously more interested in the house.

"Are you in a hurry to sell this house? I can't come up with that much money right now, so you can give me a week, okay? Shi Xiucui's mood calmed down and she had more ideas.

"My wife died last year, and my children went to work in other places this year, so they asked me to come there. So you'd better hurry up! ”

"I see, Grandma! You tell me a price, I don't bargain! "Shi Xiucui really wants to buy this house, and of course she also wants to save money.
