Chapter Ninety-Three: The Jade Plate
On the first day of the new year, the snowflakes were blowing, the snow on the ground did not reach the surface of the feet, the weather became colder and colder, Lin Xi and his grandmother got up early in the morning to cook rice balls and eat them, and then the grandparents stayed at home to bake and weave sweaters, and they didn't go anywhere, and they didn't even open the door.
It is not that it is indifferent, closed and unsociable, but today there will be a large parade on the street, followed by a meeting of 10,000 people, with the participation of the masses of citizens and workers, the largest main force is the red soldiers, the procession passes through the main road in front of the alley, and the slogans are shaking the sky and the earth, which can be described as huge.
Many people in Xingfu Lane ran to the side of the road early to watch, grandma don't go, this year as soon as the conference is going to engage in class struggle, she is through that terrible scene, there is a fear psychology, how dare you get involved if you can't hide? Even Lin Xi was detained and not allowed to go out.
In the afternoon, the Guo family came over, and Liao Shuyi gave Guo Wenxin and Guo Wenlei a small profit each, as if the brothers were happy.
Ah Qiu also hurriedly took out a red envelope and handed it to Lin Xi, who would refuse the red envelope during the New Year, Lin Xi smiled and reached out to take it, but was blocked by Liao Shuyi: "You are married, you are an adult." ”
He said to Ah Qiu again: "Don't give her a red envelope, she will think that she is still a child and has not grown up all day." ”
When Ah Qiu heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he took the red envelope back, looked at Lin Xi and said with a smile: "This red envelope Ah Qiu Po will keep it first, and when you and Yihui have a baby, then give it to the baby, and then give the baby double copies!" ”
Lin Xi's red envelope was in vain, and he was speechless, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes, causing everyone to laugh.
Xiao Xin and Xiao Lei squeezed to Lin Xi's side, competing to give her their red envelopes, Lin Xi was moved, took the red envelopes and gave them back, by the way, everyone kissed to express their gratitude, she also wanted to send them a red envelope, but the adults definitely disagreed, this era is like this, it is not allowed to be too extravagant.
After boiling water and making tea, everyone sat around the stove to eat melons and fruits, chatting and chatting and teasing the two children, Guo Renyi and Liao Shuyi talked about going to see Lin Sixian last night, and then talked about relatives in the countryside outside the city, Lin Xi saw that they suppressed their voices and almost whispered, and their expressions were solemn and cautious, so they did not deliberately listen.
At three o'clock, Ah Qiu began to work in the kitchen, Lin Xi and Yang Minzhen helped to make a table of good dishes, and finished dinner at six o'clock, because the next day Yang Minzhen Guo Dafu was going to take the child back to his parents' house to visit relatives, and the family left early.
When she was about to rest at night, Liao Shuyi walked into Lin Xi's room and told her that she wanted to go out tomorrow.
Lin Xi thought that her grandmother was in good health, and wanted to go shopping to see the excitement, so she expressed her support: "Okay, let's wear thick ones, put on a velvet hat and a big scarf, the wind won't blow through and it won't be too cold, and we can go shopping and then go to the park." ”
Liao Shuyi said: "I'm not going shopping, I'm going to the countryside outside the city, so don't go, just be at home, only grandma and your grandpa Guo go." ”
Lin Xi paused for a moment, and his mind turned around: "Grandma, are you going to visit those relatives?" ”
Liao Shuyi nodded, her expression a little sad: "The relatives of the Lin family and the Liao family scattered in the nearby countryside are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and the ingredients are not good, we have been deliberately estranged and do not communicate, you can stay as far away as you can...... I shouldn't have go, but your Uncle Guo went to deliver food a few days ago, and saw that one of my aunts and cousins was sick and dying, and several of our sisters were the best back then, I want to go and see it, maybe it's the last ......."
Lin Xi said: "Are you sick?" Grandpa Guo has money saved there, and he can be sent to the hospital. ”
Liao Shuyi sighed: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, your cousin-in-law has a bad life, she has not had children for several years after marriage, and she has met an old-fashioned mother-in-law, so she has to give them a second room, and the second room entered the door and gave birth to three sons, and then died of dystocia, and the three sons were raised by their mother-in-law, but they have all grown up and sensible, and they are not close to their mother-in-law, and after marrying their daughter-in-law, they are even more intrigued, and the family is very chaotic...... So now, your cousin is actually like an outsider in that house, only her husband takes care of her when she is sick, and even if she gives money, they may not send her to treatment, so I'll go over and see what the situation is. ”
Liao Shuyi said, handing a piece wrapped in a handkerchief to Lin Xi: "This ink jade plate, my cousin asked you Grandpa Guo to bring it back, saying that it would be a wedding gift for you and Yihui, this should be her last treasured thing, it was obtained from my grandfather, because she was ranked big and got the jade medal, I only got a black jade ring, and I also gave it to you back then, and it is estimated that I took it to Sun's house and let them loot it...... Ink jade is very rare, especially this kind of superb ink jade can be called a rare treasure, so keep it well. ”
Lin Xi took the handkerchief bag: "My cousin gave us such an expensive gift, shouldn't I go to see her and say thank you?" ”
Liao Shuyi's tone was very resolute: "No, you can't go, I'll go." My cousin knows the situation, and she will understand. I gave her a separate copy of the food, medicine, and clothes you bought, but it's a pity...... Alas, there are more monks and less porridge, and there is no way! ”
Lin Xi said: "I don't know what kind of disease she is?" We have some ginseng and all kinds of Chinese herbal medicines in our family, and I have collected a lot of Western medicine these days. ”
Liao Shuyi nodded: "Your grandfather Guo asked about the condition, I am going to bring some medicine over, there is no need to look for a doctor, they have a decentralized doctor in that place, and they say that there are several." ”
Lin Xi was relieved, in fact, it was useless to go by himself, it was best to have a doctor, he only needed to prepare more medicines for them to bring, and the rest depended on the cultivation of that cousin.
Liao Shuyi went back to the room, Lin Xi closed the door, opened the heavy handkerchief bag, inside was a three-finger wide rectangular black jade plate, the carving is complex and exquisite, Lin Xi does not know how to identify, simple comparison judgment will still be, she grabbed the black jade card in her hand, and intuitively felt that this black jade card was the same texture as the cloud-shaped black jade lock she snatched!
The black jade lock absorbed a lot of his own blood, revealing the space to bring himself to this era, could this black jade plate also have the same function?
Lin Xi didn't have the courage to cut out the blood for experiments, if he really took himself to another strange world and became another person, wouldn't it be tragic?
She is reluctant to let her grandparents and Shen Yihui promise to live together for the rest of their lives, she has to wait for him to come back, and she can't disappear inexplicably.
