Chapter 9: The Mist

Zheng Qin's face was anxious, the only thought was gone, she would not suspect her daughter, who never entered the house of the two of them, did not respond to Yuxi, but looked at Yuqing, "Did you move the money box?" ”

Yuqing pursed his lips, whoever is suspected is uncomfortable, not to mention the money box, this belongs to stealing.

Yuxi looked at her stepmother and was anxiously suspicious, this must be a loss of valuable things, but she knows the character of her two younger brothers, and she will never do anything to steal money.

"Mom, what did you lose, look for it again, our children have good character and won't touch the money box."

Yuqing's lips opened slightly, a little surprised, she didn't expect her sister to help them speak, the grievances in her heart disappeared, and she turned happy, her sister was not only close to them, but also trusted them.

Zheng Qin also came back to his senses, his son knew it himself, looked at his sons apologetically, and waved his hand, "If it's gone, it's gone, it's not worth much anyway, okay, let's eat!" ”

Yuxi sighed in her heart, she had already guessed what she had lost, it must be a jade bamboo stick.

The jade bamboo stick is really the only one, in her body, so the stepmother's disappeared, Yuxi looked at the depressed stepmother, and wanted to speak several times, but she held back.

What can she say, say it's not lost, you gave it to me in your last life, and then helped me to be reborn? She didn't dare say it.

The meal was like wax, and the joy of the morning was gone, and Yuxi's heart was heavy.

After the meal, although Zheng Qin didn't want to look for it, Nian Junwen refused, this was the only thought, "Aunt Zheng, are you sure to put it in the money box?" ”

Zheng Qin, "I'm sure, I'm not seventy or eighty yet, the last time I took it out, I put it back, I won't be mistaken." ”

Yuqing asked curiously, "Mom, what did you lose?" ”

Zheng Qin fell into the memory and gestured, "Such a big half-cut jade bamboo stick, your grandmother gave it to me back then, saying that it was the treasure of the Wu family, and said that I must keep it and pass it on from generation to generation." Over the years, I only hope to find the other half of the jade bamboo sticks and find my family's relatives. ”

When Yuxi heard this, she raised her head violently, and there was another half, her heart was pounding, and her intuition told it that if she found the other half, the jade bamboo stick would be complete, and she would be able to figure out what the jade bamboo stick was.

And not like now, a head of confusion.

Yuqing was surprised, "Mom, do you still have relatives in your family?" ”

Zheng Qin's tone was reminiscing, "Of course there is a family, we here, we all pay attention to the family, the family with the big surname, the Wu family was the big surname, and your grandmother's branch is the one who is the heir, but unfortunately, the war was in chaos, the life of the big family was sad, fell apart, in order to survive, they were all scattered, when your uncle and grandfather first broke into the east and left, took away the other half of the bamboo stick, but once he left, there was no news, so many years, I don't know if I can still find it." ”

Yuqing is lost, after so many years, the probability of finding it is too low, close to zero, it seems that she can't solve the mystery of the jade bamboo stick.

Zheng Qin sighed, maybe the baby has a spirit, she wanted to sell it a few days ago, so she ran away, so she felt a little sorry for her ancestors, but she felt better in the end, at least it wasn't taken by the children, and there was no problem with her education.

According to the clues, Nian Junwen rummaged, but in the end, he was confused, and he didn't find anything, so the matter was over.

In the afternoon, only Yuxi was at home, Yuxi wilted, and couldn't help but think of the other half of the jade bamboo stick, summoning his own half, and his eyes kept staring, as if he wanted to see the flowers.

Suddenly, there was a sound, Yuxi looked up in a panic, and saw Nian Junwen coming back with a flat pole and standing in front of the well to drink water.

Yuxi forgot to take back the jade bamboo stick for a while, and when Nian Junwen turned around, Yuxi was shocked to realize that his mind was blank, and only one thought was over.

can stare directly at Nian Junwen's half-salary, Nian Junwen didn't seem to see the jade bamboo stick, and walked away with the flat burden.

Yuxi's back was shocked into a cold sweat, looking at the glowing jade bamboo sticks in front of her, the smile on the corners of her mouth became bigger and bigger, only she could see the jade bamboo sticks, she didn't have to worry, in case she touched something, the jade bamboo sticks suddenly ran out.

This heart was put in the stomach, so to speak, I also want to thank Nian Junwen for coming back suddenly.

Yuxi's mood is much better, the corners of her mouth have been smiling, and when her family comes back in the evening, the dumplings are wrapped, and she is waiting to get out of the pot!

Twenty minutes, the family washed up and sat at the table, a plate of dumplings like ingots, good meaning, fragrant dumplings, remove fatigue.

Lu Man's heavy mood was also relieved, and he took out half a bottle of liquor that he was reluctant to drink, poured two taels, and beckoned, "Use chopsticks, and eat dumplings while they are hot." ”

The head of the family gave an order, and they all moved the chopsticks, and the dumplings with pure meat were not necessarily willing to be willing to eat during the New Year, and the Yuqing brothers began to eat very quickly, but the more they ate, the slower they became.

Yuxi saw in his eyes, the boy could eat, the two brothers were not full, but wanted their hard-working parents to eat more dumplings, their parents worked hard to make money, and the most important thing to eat should be their parents.

Lu Man and Zheng Qin glanced at each other, and the chopsticks couldn't be lifted.

The good atmosphere just now disappeared in an instant, the dining table was quiet, and under the dim light, the parents in Yuxi's eyes looked even older, with chapped skin, tired faces, and painful eyes, like knives, pierced into Yuxi's heart.

Yuxi felt distressed, she felt sorry for her parents, children from poor families, only reading could change her fate, but she gave up high school, and instead went to the first film, the school with the most expensive tuition.

Fortunately, with the jade bamboo stick in this life, she not only came back, but also solved her big problem, thinking of the money in the bag, Yuxi got up and ran back to the bedroom.

When he came out, he was holding the money rolled in the newspaper in his hand, a hundred-yuan bill of five thousand four yuan, which was not thick, but Yuxi felt that it weighed a thousand catties, which was life-saving money.

Lu Man didn't understand what his daughter meant, looked at his daughter's hand, and frowned, "What is this?" ”

Yuxi stuffed it into his father's hand, "Five thousand four hundred yuan, I bought meat today to celebrate, I have been waiting for you to come back, I want to surprise everyone." ”

Lu Man's hand shook, the money wrapped in the newspaper fell to the ground, and he got up with red eyes, "Say, where did the money come from?" ”

Lu Man's heart was trembling, his eyes were staring at his daughter, he was afraid that he would hear something bad, he regretted it, he should have subdued his daughter in the first place, what first movie was a star, he was ambitious, he had more desires, and his good girl had changed, the more he thought about Lu Man, the more heartache he felt.

Yuxi was stupid and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Zheng Qin saw her husband angry for the first time, her body was faster than her brain, and she instinctively blocked Yuxi behind her, "You talk well, don't scare the child." ”

Nian Junwen hurriedly got up at this time and spoke, "Uncle, listen to me, I know." ”

Lu Man listened to Nian Junwen's words, and his heart was relieved, Junwen was a reliable child, he was precocious since he was a child, and he trusted him more, "You say." ”

Yuxi came back to her senses, quite aggrieved, but she was really unreliable a while ago, and her father suspected that she was right, so she could only listen to Nian Junwen talk about the process with her ears pricked up.

Yuxi told Nian Junwen that the ambergris was picked up at the beach, because there was some incense, so Yuxi didn't need to talk about it again, and listened quietly to Nian Junwen.

Lu Man was stunned, he had lived by the sea all his life, why didn't he have this luck, he saw the aggrieved appearance of his daughter, and was annoyed by his recklessness just now, his daughter was still his good daughter, and he was suspicious of his daughter.

For a while, Zheng Qin was still in shock, and she didn't notice her husband's eyes, waiting for Lu Man to speak on his own.

There was a knock on the door of the house.
