030. Recognize relatives
Liu Jun waited for most of the hour before Lei Zhong hurriedly returned.
As soon as he saw Liu Jun, he said apologetically: "Little brother of the Liu family, I've kept you waiting for a long time." ”
Liu Jun said indifferently: "It's okay, it's done?" ”
"I have personally handed over the old ginseng to the forester, a thousand taels of silver is too much, I am afraid that you will bring it back too eye-catching, so I took it upon myself to exchange it for a silver ticket for you." Lei Zhong said as he took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and handed it over, "You put it away, if you need to exchange it for silver, you can go to the money bank to exchange it." ”
One thousand taels of silver is tantamount to an astronomical amount for ordinary people, but the expression on Liu Jun's face has not changed in the slightest, and after thanking Lei Zhong very calmly, he seems to fold the silver ticket casually and put it in the blanket around his waist.
Lei Zhong couldn't help but have a higher evaluation of this teenager in his heart, and he was not shocked in the face of a huge amount of money, which is something that many people who have lived for decades can't do.
"The shopkeeper has already paid me the money for the herbs, if the owner has nothing else to do, I will leave first, and Jiaojiao is still waiting for me at home." Since Liu Jiaojiao escaped death, this is the first time that Liu Jun has been separated from her for so long, and she is inevitably a little worried.
Lei Zhong hesitated, and it wasn't until Liu Jun cast a seductive gaze that he said with some embarrassment: "There's nothing to do, I just want to go to the mountain where you collected medicine." To be able to produce a hundred-year-old He Shou Wu and a hundred-year-old ginseng, it must be a treasure mountain, the old man has been dealing with medicinal materials for many years, and he is really a little curious, I don't know if it is convenient? ”
Liu Jun thought about it and agreed, the mountain on the left and right is not his, and there is no rule in the village that people from other villages are not allowed to go up the mountain, and judging from these few dealings, this Lei Dong's character is not bad.
Lei Zhong was immediately overjoyed, rubbed his hands excitedly several times, and then asked tentatively, "Why don't I go with you now?" Don't worry, the old man won't live in your house for nothing, and he will stay for one night, and he will come back tomorrow when he goes to the mountains to see it. ”
Liu Jun tugged at the corners of her mouth and replied, "The owner has always taken good care of our brothers and sisters, so you don't have to be so polite, but the home is really a little simple, and you can only work hard to sleep in one room with me at night." ”
"When the old man followed the master to collect medicine, he often slept in the mountains for most of the month, no matter how simple your family is, it is better than the mountains, right?"
"It should be stronger."
"Hahaha, that's already pretty good."
The cattle shopkeeper was a little worried that the proprietor would go to that kind of remote mountain village alone, but he couldn't resist him, so he had to tell the guy to quickly prepare a lot of things for him to use, and he was very eye-catching to prepare some ingredients and snacks for Liu Jiaojiao, all of which were put on the ox cart.
By the time Liu Jun drove the ox cart back to the old house, it was almost sunset.
Liu Jiaojiao calculated that he would come back at about this time, so she waited at the door early, and when she saw the ox cart coming, she hurriedly greeted her, and when she saw Lei Zhong coming, she was surprised: "Grandpa Lei, why are you here?" ”
Liu Jun stopped the car and said with a smile: "Lei Dongjia is a little curious about the mountain where we collect medicine, so I want to come and see it, stay at our house for one night tonight, and I will take him up the mountain tomorrow." ”
It's not that I'm curious about that mountain, it's because I'm curious about why they can pick the best herbs repeatedly, Liu Jiaojiao looked at Lei Zhong, and the clarity in his eyes made Lei Zhong a little embarrassed, he hurriedly shook his hand and explained: "Jiaojiao, the old man swears that he definitely doesn't have any bad intentions, but he is really curious, so he licked the old face and walked up in person." ”
Liu Jiaojiao replied with a smile: "Grandpa Lei, I didn't say anything, why are you so nervous?" ”
Lei Zhong: "......" This little girl is really a goblin, where does she look like a child who is only ten years old.
Liu Shugen and the calf had already gone back, so Lei Zhong helped Liu Jun unload the car, and the two men, one old and one young, both ignored Liu Jiaojiao, who wanted to help on the side, and felt that men should come to work like this.
Liu Jun went to Lao Li Tou's to return the ox cart first, leaving Lei Zhong and Liu Jiaojiao in the old mansion.
After taking a closer look at this remote and extremely simple old house, Lei Zhong's face was a little unsightly, and he said to Liu Jiaojiao in a deep voice: "Jiaojiao, I sold you a thousand taels of silver for the old ginseng you put me on, and the silver ticket is given to your brother, you can buy a new house, it's too bad here." ”
"Sold for a thousand taels? Who bought it? Liu Jiaojiao was surprised, she thought that such a valuable thing would have to wait for a long time to sell, but she didn't expect it to be so fast, and the price seemed to be good.
Lei Zhong raised his hand and patted his forehead with some annoyance, and blamed himself: "When people are old, their memory is poor, and I forgot to tell you." ”
He told Liu Jiaojiao about the high price of medicine outside the forester, and then said slightly apologetically: "Actually, if this orange old ginseng is taken to the capital, it will definitely sell for a higher price, but the forester is a good person, and he is eager to save people, so I took the initiative to persuade your brother to sell the old ginseng to him." ”
Liu Jiaojiao smiled indifferently: "You did the right thing, saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, not to mention that the price given by the forester is also fair, I have to thank you, if it weren't for your help, even if we knew that this old ginseng was a treasure, we didn't know how to make a move, maybe we would be forcibly taken away." ”
Lei Zhong was stunned when he heard this, then sighed, and said with regret: "Girl, although you are not very old, you have a delicate heart, but unfortunately the old man is not blessed, if you can have a granddaughter like you, the old man's life can be considered complete!" ”
Liu Jiaojiao didn't know that Lei Zhong had been alone for many years, and asked curiously: "Grandpa Lei, don't you have a granddaughter but a grandson?" ”
Lei Zhong sighed and shook his head, "When I was young, I was obsessed with medicine and neglected to take care of my wife, and as a result, she died in childbirth, and I owed her too much, so I didn't renew it. After so many years, my heart has stopped, and wouldn't it be a burden for me to marry a wife at this age? So I completely broke off this thought. ”
Liu Jiaojiao couldn't help but sigh a little, although Lei Zhong said it simply, she could hear that his feelings for his deceased wife were still there, maybe this was the real reason why he never married a wife again.
Unexpectedly, this strongman in the business field turned out to be an infatuated lover.
Liu Jiaojiao was a little unbearable, and comforted her: "Grandpa Lei, you don't have to be too sentimental, if you don't dislike it, I'll be your granddaughter, anyway, I have no father or mother." ”
Lei Zhong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said in a trembling voice: "Really? ”
"Of course it's true, as long as you don't dislike it, I'll be your granddaughter to support you!" She said that just now just to comfort Lei Zhong, but she would think that this was a good idea, because she still liked this kind old man.
After Lei Zhong repeatedly confirmed that she was not talking about playing, he suddenly laughed loudly, laughing so much that there were tears in his eyes, "Okay, good!" My Lei Zhong finally has a granddaughter! My Lei family has a queen! ”
