Untied the apron on his body, Lin Xiaoliang came out of the kitchen.

"I told you that Grandma wouldn't agree, but you don't believe it." Shen Xiu poured her a glass of water.

Lin Xiaoliang smiled, looked at the time and asked, "It's time to eat, why hasn't Grandpa come back yet?" ”

"He's not coming back today." Shen Xiu said: "Uncle Chang's barbershop is busy, he went to help in the past two days, and he also ate there at noon." ”

Shen Zhangming learned to shave his head with a widower in the village when he was young, although it was abandoned for decades, but the craft is still there, and Uncle Chang is his apprentice by chance.

It's just that after arriving in the county seat, the old couple relied on Shen Zhangming's retirement salary and the filial piety of their grandson, and they were able to grow vegetables and raise some chickens and ducks in the yard.

Despite this, because it is not easy for several daughters' families and their sons are unreliable, they will inevitably change their ways to subsidize money to their daughters, and they don't have much savings.

This time the granddaughter-in-law had an accident, although the child was saved, but the two elders were a little worried about whether the child could be born safely, not to mention, the granddaughter-in-law was seriously ill and was abused by the tiger woman of the Wang family for a month...... Their family is already sorry for their granddaughter-in-law, if they want to let their family lose their lives, do they still want to be people?

Therefore, the old couple has made up their minds, and for the sake of insurance, they must come up with a sum of money to let her go to the provincial hospital before their granddaughter-in-law gives birth.

None of the juniors knew about the plans of the two elders, but it did not prevent them from guessing who Shen Zhangming suddenly started to help in the barbershop.

Lin Xiaoliang felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, to be honest, the people of the Shen family were not villains except for Wang Zhaodi, how did she get to where in her last life?

She couldn't help but start to introspect, but found that because of her personality, she was young and arrogant, simple and arrogant, and would rather have broken jade than be complete, even if she knew that even if she couldn't have children, she could gain a foothold in the Shen family, she would still choose to divorce.

Even now, if the child is not still there, even if she will not lose her fertility like in her previous life, she will not choose an answer other than divorce.

"To Licheng?" Lin Xiaoqian looked stunned.

Luo Yufang nodded, "Xiuwa stays to take care of you, and we will come back in three days at the latest." ”

"Is there something going on?" Lin Xiaoliang looked at Shen Chi.

She didn't believe that they were fighting so much just to see the second aunt.

The second aunt said that their garment factory has a batch of defective products to be disposed of, although they are defective products, but they are only small defects, that is, they cannot be sold in the county, and they can also be sold in the town. The clothes are the processing price, and you should be able to make a small profit if you sell them, which is enough to make you a supplement. "Shen Chi has two months off because he has completed a big task this time, which looks like a lot, but he can't do big business, so he can only spend his efforts on this kind of small business.

"Do you have enough money?" Lin Xiaoliang asked directly.

"Enough." Shen Chi was stunned for a moment and replied: "Last year, a comrade-in-arms asked me to borrow two hundred yuan, and this time he knew my situation and sent me the money. ”

Although 200 yuan in 80 is not a huge amount of money, it is also a lot of money.

Lin Xiaoliang nodded, "Then you pay attention on the road and take care of your grandparents and grandma." ”

Hearing this, Shen Zhangming and Luo Yufang's expressions eased, but Shen Chi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Sure enough, it's not an illusion, in this family, the daughter-in-law cares about everyone, but she ignores him.

Lin Xiaoliang didn't know what Shen Chi was thinking, she was thinking about what to prepare for the three people who were about to travel.

Li Cheng is not very far from them, it can be reached in more than two hours by train, and the climate there is not much different from their side, so as long as the clothes are prepared according to what they are wearing now. Fortunately, it's summer, and the clothes are very light and light, so it's not hard to carry.

For the rest of the matter, just think about the gift. Although he went to his aunt's house, he was able to get the defective products from the garment factory at a low price this time, and the second aunt helped a lot, so they had to say something.

After thinking about it, Lin Xiaoliang took out a few feet of cotton cloth from the house, handed it to Luo Yufang and said, "Grandma, take this and give it to the second aunt." ”

"Isn't this for you to keep to make clothes for your children, what do you take them out for?" Seeing this, Luo Yufang looked disapproving.

"There is still more than half a year before the birth of the child, as long as you have money, when will you not be able to buy this cloth?" Lin Xiao said softly: "This time the second aunt has helped so much, grandma, you take this, it's a good idea." ”

At this time, even if you get married, you can send a pair of socks at most, and you can send a basin at most, Lin Xiaoliang's few feet of cotton cloth can definitely be regarded as a big deal.

Luo Yufang wanted to open her mouth to dispel this thought, but Shen Chi on the side said: "Okay, I remember that the second aunt's little grandson has just passed the age of one, and this cloth can just be used." ”

Shen Chi is not a person who likes to force, for his father's love, he has not worked hard to redeem it, but after finding that it is useless, he gradually let go of it and can face it calmly.

In his previous life, he was unwilling, and after all the means of coercion and temptation were exhausted, he still let Lin Xiaoliang leave.

It's just that he is also a person who respects me and I respect you, and several aunts are good to him, so he is naturally willing to be close to them.

The money he sent to his grandparents and grandmothers over the years has been used by them to subsidize several children, but he doesn't say it, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know.

What makes him happiest is that looking at what his daughter-in-law has just done, he is obviously not stingy.

Seeing that Luo Yufang was still hesitant, Lin Xiao obediently said: "Although the cotton cloth is good, it will change color after a long time, so it is not as good as buying it now." ”

In fact, she didn't do it generously, she just didn't look down on the cotton cloth that would be. This kind of cheesecloth is good for adults, but on the child, she is not willing to use this inferior product.

Anyway, there are a lot of fine muslins in her space.

Because they had to catch the train, the three of them got up before dawn, and Lin Xiaoliang was sleepy, and when she got up, it was already eight or nine o'clock, so naturally she couldn't see the three people.

"Sister-in-law, I cooked corn and bean sprouts porridge, you hurry up and eat two bites." Seeing that she was holding her stomach and looking hungry, Shen Xiu hurriedly said.

Although there was no nausea reaction, Lin Xiaoliang was not only sleepy, but also very hungry, and was woken up by hunger basically every day.

Lin Xiaoliang drank half a bowl of porridge before he felt the tormenting hunger in his stomach ease, and raised his head and asked, "Xiu'er, have you eaten it?" ”

"I've eaten, sister-in-law, wait, I'll come over and wash the dishes when I've got it here." Shen Xiu was building a shelf for the evening cowpea in the yard, wiping his sweat and saying.

Lin Xiaoliang threw the bowl to her to wash, washed the bowl in three or two times, and held a section of yellow corn and gnawed it.

"This corn is very fragrant, is it also home-grown?" She took a small bench and sat down under the eaves.

"No, it's the uncle next door." Shen Xiu put his hand in the bucket to wash the sludge on it, "At the beginning of spring, we didn't have time to eat the radishes we planted, so we gave a lot of neighbors, and now the corn is also a gift." ”

Lin Xiaoliang nodded to show that she understood, in her previous life, she got along well with the neighbors in the old city, but she always had a taste of form, no human touch, she had not been in contact with this kind of neighborhood affection in the old era for a long time, and it didn't feel bad.

Although Shen Xiu said that she stayed to take care of her, she was not inseparable, no, she was going out in the afternoon.

"Sister-in-law, there is porridge in the pot, and the fire in the stove has not been extinguished, if you are hungry, eat it, I will come back early to make dinner."

"Got it, have fun on your own." Lin Xiao obediently watched Shen Xiu's back disappear into the alley.

Picking up a broom to clean the courtyard gate and the path in the courtyard, Lin Xiaoliang closed the courtyard door and entered the house.

Sitting in the room, she carefully closed the curtains, hesitated, and untied the chain around her neck.

This chain was preserved by the eldest aunt in the hands of the Red Guards during the special period of that year, and it was passed on to her daughter-in-law by Lin Xiaoliang's grandmother's generation, and each of the three concubines had one.

The chains of the eldest aunt and the second aunt are both gold chains, and this little gold Ruyi is just a little different when it comes to Lin Xiaoliang's aunt.

Because the grandmother didn't like her mother, she felt that her youngest son was wronged by marrying such a wooden daughter-in-law, so she detained her under the pretext of worrying that she would lose her things. Later, during the special period, the village was in chaos, and there were many things at home, and the thief patronized the house at night, although the grandmother was vigilant, but she was still dragged away by the thief in the dispute, leaving only a bare chain. At that time, the family still had some foundation, and Grandma was unwilling to favor one over the other, so she made the decision to replace Xiaojin Ruyi with a small jade pendant.

Maybe it's because the four elder brothers are more like Auntie, and Grandma doesn't like them as much as her cousins in the eldest uncle's second uncle's family. Later, Lin Xiaoliang was born, but the old lady, who has always been a little patriarchal, insisted that Lin Xiaoliang looked like her, and she was no worse than her cousins.

Even before she died, she also handed over the pendant chain to her aunt, and told her to give it to Lin Xiaoliang when she grew up.

At that time, Lin Xiaoliang was only three years old, and he was not very stable when he walked.

After the end of the special period, Lin Xiaoliang's aunt also passed away, and the eldest aunt privately handed over the pendant chain to her in advance.

Because of this falling chain, Lin Xiaoliang would have lived so comfortably in his last life, and because of it, rebirth was meaningful to Lin Xiaoliang.

She looked down at the strange-looking jade pendant in her hand, which could be divided into two parts, one part was a thumb-sized round white jade, and there was a circular depression the size of a mung bean in the middle, and the perforation at the top was a delicate gold-inlaid jade shape; The other part is a blue droplet-shaped object on the back that seems to be inlaid and dyed, and if it is not protruding to the touch, it seems to be one with the former.

Although the jade pendant is beautiful, the jade quality is not good, and it is not an antique with a history, and it is not worth much to sell it. This is also the reason why the eldest aunt and the second aunt did not object to grandma's proposal at the beginning.

However, no one knows what kind of treasure is hidden in the jade pendant!
