Chapter 4: Family Heirlooms
I looked at the jade pig dragon carefully, and I saw it very carefully from every angle, and I could watch it for 5 minutes, and finally I didn't dare to look at it again, because my face was already full of surprise.
In addition to being surprised, I was also very puzzled, how could our jade pig dragon be in the senior brother's house?
Who got this? I couldn't help but ask myself.
I thought, could it be that my parents are here, and they brought the jade pig dragon. But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that this is unreasonable, since it was sent by my parents, why did they not see me and then leave? And what did my parents do when they sent Jade Pig Dragon over for no reason?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was wrong, it must not have been sent by my parents. Although this game shouldn't be worth a lot of money, it's also an old object, and it's impossible to put the jade pig dragon here. If he had sent it, he would have to hand it over to me personally, and then he would have to tell me a lot of nonsense, and it would be impossible to put down his things and leave.
But if it hadn't been sent by my parents, I really can't think of anyone else who could get our family's jade pig dragon. The heart said, is this thing still spiritual, when I was a child, I had feelings for stealing money, is this the rhythm of thinking about me? So it came over on its own.
Thinking of this, I feel ridiculous myself, looking at the jade pig dragon and not having long legs, how could it be possible to run over by itself. I kindly reminded myself that I can't always watch science fiction movies in the future, and I have lowered my IQ.
Suddenly, I seemed to realize something, and my scalp instantly chilled, and I shivered, and immediately turned around and looked around involuntarily. I looked around the room and found that there was no one else, so I let go of my nerves.
I don't know if I'm right, but I'm starting to doubt it. I suspect that this jade pig dragon was deliberately placed here, and it was yesterday, to be exact, when I was drinking with those old fellows.
Although I have forgotten all the things after drinking, I remember the things before drinking clearly, I am sure that before I went to the hotel yesterday, there was nothing on the cabinet, and I had never seen the jade pig dragon in this room, so I have reason to suspect that the jade pig dragon was put here at noon yesterday.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Long Jiu saw the jade pig dragon somewhere else and put it on the cabinet.
I hesitated for a moment and decided to go downstairs and ask Longjiu.
I didn't take into account that it was late at night, and I didn't think about whether Long Jiu had slept or not, in short, I couldn't wait to know how the Jade Pig Dragon could appear on the cabinet.
When I walked to the door of the room where Long Jiu lived, I knocked on the door a few times and shouted, "Long Jiu, have you slept?" ”
"Wait a minute" Long Jiu answered inside, the lights in the room turned on, and then a slight footstep came from inside.
After Long Jiu opened the door, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Did you put this on the cupboard?" I asked, holding the jade pig dragon.
Long Jiu looked at it carefully for a few times before shaking his head and replied, "No, where did this thing come from?" ”
As soon as I heard Long Jiu ask where this thing came from, it was enough to prove that the Jade Pig Dragon was not put by her, and said to her: "That's okay, you can continue to sleep, I'll just ask casually." ”
Long Jiu looked at me and asked with a puzzled face, "Are you really okay?" I see how preoccupied you look, and if you have anything, tell me. ”
I nodded, turned and walked towards the stairs, saying as I went, "It's all right, you can go to bed." ”
After returning to the room with the jade pig dragon, I immediately rummaged through the phone, but when I finished pressing the phone at home, I didn't dial it, but put the phone down again.
I don't know how to tell my parents about this call, if I ask about the jade pig dragon, they will have to check the jade pig dragon at home, once they find that the jade pig dragon at home is gone, the old couple will definitely not sleep well this night, so I didn't make this call, or decided to go home tomorrow to see in person.
I sat until dawn, when I lay down and fell asleep. After waking up in the morning, I called home and told my parents that I was going back to see them, and then bought some nutritional supplements for the old couple at the supermarket.
On the way home, I was thinking about how to talk to my parents about the jade pig dragon, I must think of a tactful way, I can't say it too directly, otherwise this matter can't be explained, and I can't explain it clearly.
After returning home, I first cared about the second elder warmly, and then talked about some common things, all about my life's events. Every time I come back in the past few years, it's like this, and my ears are about to grind out when I listen to it.
Mom made a big table of dishes, all of which I love to eat, especially hearty, and my dad has to drink some with me. To be honest, I haven't completely passed the uncomfortable feeling of drinking with those old things, and now I want to vomit when I see wine, and I don't want to drink it at all. But there is no way, I haven't been home for a long time, and it's rare for my dad to be happy, so I just accompany him to drink less.
When I drank with my father, I took a sip and asked, "Dad, do you remember when I stole money when I was a child?" ”
"Remember, what's wrong? Don't have any money? Dad picked up the glass and took a sip of it, then said, "If you don't have any money, Dad will give you some, but not too much, the money is reserved for you to marry your daughter-in-law." ”
"I don't need money, I just want to ask you, I stole money out at that time, and I also took a jade pig dragon." While eating, my father listened to me and nodded, and I continued: "Where is our jade pig dragon?" Let me see, if it's in good condition, I might be able to sell it for a good price. ”
I really don't have any good excuses, I can only say to look at the quality, at least that's it, for an old money fan like my dad.
"Little rabbit cub, I guessed that you couldn't come back to see us for no reason, you were worried about that jade pig dragon for a long time, your son, I think it was raised for nothing, and there is nothing else in your mind except money."
As soon as I heard what my father said, I hurriedly comforted: "Dad, I'm coming back this time to see you two elders, don't think about it." Now your son has money, not bad money, but on the way back, he remembered stealing money when he was a child, so he remembered the jade pig dragon, otherwise how could I remember that thing. ”
When my father heard what I said, he was a little relieved, and he raised his glass to drink with me, and then said, "Let your mother find it for you." After saying that, my father motioned to my mother to find me the jade pig dragon.
When I saw that my mother was about to get up, I immediately grabbed my mother and said to her, "Mom, you eat yours, you don't need to go, I'll go find it myself, you can tell me where I am." ”
I went to look for the cabinet according to my mother's complaint, and after looking through it carefully, I found that the jade pig dragon in the house was indeed missing. I asked again if I had put it here, and my mother said yes, it was in the lower left corner of the cabinet.
I secretly put the jade pig dragon on my body in the cabinet, and then pretended to find it, took it out, looked at it a few times, walked up to my father, and said loudly: "The condition is very average, and it doesn't look worth much." After saying that, he deliberately put the jade pig dragon in front of his father, and then sat back in his original position, continued to eat, and pretended to be nothing.
Actually, I did this just to let my dad notice this jade pig dragon, after all, he should have seen this play for longer than he had seen me, so if it wasn't ours, I think he would be able to recognize it at a glance.
Sure enough, my father was tricked, put down the wine glass in his hand, picked up the jade pig dragon and looked at it, and said, "This thing is valuable, and we can't sell it." ”
What my dad said was a surprise to me. I wouldn't be surprised if this was coming out of someone else's mouth. After all, everyone's preferences are different, some people just like to collect some antiquities, but my dad doesn't have this hobby, for him, holding money in his hand is more useful than collecting anything. So I was a little surprised when he said that.
"Dad, should this play be that important? You can't sell it for any amount of money. I asked.
"Son, no matter whether this jade pig dragon is worth it or not, you remember it, this can't be sold, this is an heirloom of your grandmother's family." Dad picked up the wine glass, toasted himself again, sighed deeply, and continued: "Your grandmother specially confessed before she died that this jade pig dragon would be left to you and let you pass it on from generation to generation. Your mother and I originally wanted to give it to you after you got married, but looking at your current appearance, I don't want to pass on the lineage at all, and we won't keep it for you, give it to you, you can keep it yourself. ”
After speaking, my father reached out and handed me the jade pig dragon.
The moment I took over the Jade Pig Dragon, I was thinking about how this Jade Pig Dragon had become the heirloom of my grandmother's family, and I had never heard the little wolf say that the Murong family still had this heirloom. If you say that the jade wrench is the heirloom of the Murong family, I believe this, after all, I have seen several jade wrenches in Thailand, but I really don't believe that the jade pig dragon is the heirloom of the Murong family.
Thinking about it carefully, my heart said, I can't tell if my father was deceived by my grandmother, after all, my father didn't know grandma's true identity from beginning to end, so what grandma said to him was not necessarily true.
But since grandma said that she wanted to leave the jade pig dragon to me, it should be some special intention, I asked my father: "Grandma asked you to give me this jade pig dragon, did you say that this game should have any special use?" ”
"Family heirlooms are for you to pass them on from generation to generation, so what is the special use." After my father finished speaking, he glanced at me, and then said: "Little rabbit, this jade pig dragon is your grandmother's most precious thing, you can't sell it, if you dare to sell it, I will really kill you alive." ”
I saw that my father really didn't know anything, so I didn't ask any more questions, and after a few drinks with him, I pretended to be drunk and said that I couldn't do it, and then I went to the bed and lay down, and began to think about the matter of the jade pig dragon.
I thought to myself, now I can be 100% sure that this jade pig dragon is our family. The time when I was taken to the elder brother's house can also be determined, that is, the time when I accompanied the uncles to drink. As for when it was taken from our house, there is no way to verify this, maybe it was the day before yesterday, maybe it was a few days ago, in short, it doesn't matter.
What I want to know most now is, who took the jade pig dragon? Why? What's the conspiracy here?
Thinking about it, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he suddenly felt that the whole thing was a little scary, and it was a bit unbelievable.
