Chapter 21: The Beginning of the Revelation (2)
"Also, I guess our parents don't agree to go to work and wander around, so we have to think again." Zhang Guoqing laughed when he heard it, and what Jiaojiao said made sense, first turn money into materials.
Zhou Jiao only remembered that she didn't have time to sort out their private money when she came here, "Let's sort out the private money first, put it in the secret compartment of the wardrobe, and you take it all out." ”
"It's really a lot, Jiaojiao, put away all the valuables at home, and put some loose money and those loose tickets in this secret compartment. You don't have any insurance. ”
Zhou Jiao took two wooden boxes, opened one of the boxes, and poured out the contents of the box, all of which were 10 yuan in the blink of an eye, as well as some loose money and tickets. Most of the tickets were handed over to him by Zhang Guoqing, for example, there are a lot of cloth tickets, which expire during the Chinese New Year, and they have to be replaced with cloth, just to make clothes for her, which should be given by Zhang's mother when she got married.
She got married in red clothes and black pants prepared by her grandmother. The eldest aunt also gave her a few pieces of clothes that were usually mailed over, and she didn't buy them because she didn't lack clothes to wear.
There are also sugar tickets that add up to 2 catties, and then there are some messy tickets. According to the time that is about to expire, all the will be handed to Zhang Guoqing, which is to be spent at the opportunity, otherwise it will be invalid after expiration. Counted 2886 yuan close to 2900 yuan, put 86 yuan loose money in the wooden box, she read those bills, basically to the end of the year have to expire, fortunately today I want to sort out.
When I opened it again, there was a big box, and on the left was her mother Lin Lishan's letter, which was basically unopened. The small box of grandma on the right, in my memory, this is the jewelry box that my grandmother secretly stuffed into her on the night of the wedding, and I didn't look carefully at it later, and the memory is a little blurry.
Open the small box, open the yellow silk cloth wrapped in a pair of jade bracelets, a string of beaded necklaces, green color is positive, color is strong, green with blue should be imperial green. Another embroidered handkerchief wraps a necklace and bracelet with sapphires and diamonds. Rings and brooches are also a set. The last embroidered handkerchief wrapped in two pieces of dragon and phoenix mutton fat jade jade pendant. Take out three bags of things, there are 2 pieces of silk in the box, the silk opens two embroidered with the glory and wealth of a peony flower, and a pair of lotus flowers. The implication is very good. On the last floor of the small box is a 1952 Shanghai house deed and title deed signed by Zhou Jiao.
"Husband, I've never looked at this box carefully, and my memory is a little blurry. Grandma also told me clearly that the soft and soft goods brought out by her family were all sold, and she was so poor that she lived on colorful embroidery, and the housekeepers at home collected firewood and sold them to buy rice, and her personal maid often subsidized her when she got married. Fortunately, I didn't starve to death when I met my grandfather.
You can help me see that this deed is from Shanghai, grandma is from Beijing, she has never been to Shanghai, where did the 52-year title deed come from. 5 years ago, it was still my name, who went to handle it, and my grandmother never went far away. I was 11 years old in '52 and should have bought it for me when I was 10 years old. I wouldn't have bought it from my mother. She prepared a set in the capital. ”
Zhang Guoqing frowned from the moment he saw this title deed, and he wanted to stop talking, with this wooden box, his thinking was clear, and his doubts were all verified. The problem is that Grandma Zhou secretly stuffed it to Zhou Jiao, no one else knows, even Grandpa Zhou doesn't know, and Grandma Zhou doesn't know who gave her something.
He picked up the box and looked at it, thought about it, found a knife and carefully pried open the wooden box, and after a while, the amputated box was scattered, and he tore off the bottom layer of paper again, and sure enough, there was a problem, and two horizontal lines were drawn on it with a knife, =
Zhou Jiao looked at him in surprise, what happened, and found a clue in the wooden box, "Husband, why did you think of it, did you find something that was sent by someone?" I've become your fan. Could it be my grandmother's admirer, you have to know that my grandfather doesn't even know about this box. ”
"Jiaojiao, let's see what this deliberate knife looks like with two cuts? And why did your grandmother's admirer give you a house? The things were sent to your grandmother, but your grandfather didn't tell you, he knew your situation at home very well, and handed it over to your grandfather or not. He also knows that only your grandmother will be sincere to you and give you a birthday gift when you are 10 years old. Zhang Guoqing said slowly, he wanted to give her a slow time.
Zhou Jiao stared at the two knives, with teary eyes, "Husband, are you saying that my dad is still alive, he drew two knives and framed them with paper, he can't reveal his identity, and he wants grandma to know that he is still alive, two knives are equal signs, just wait." 5 years have passed, and he is still not there? Is it dangerous? How are we going to find him and help him? Let's go to Shanghai, go to that house and you will definitely find him, I have been this father who has been good to me wholeheartedly for two lifetimes. ”
Zhang Guoqing hurriedly wiped the tears on her face, stood up and soaked the towel in hot water, and wiped her little flower face with the towel, "You are in confinement, you can't cry!" Your dad is coming back too, and he will definitely be back by the end of the year. Your mother has also come to our house in the past two days. If you cry again, I won't tell you why you know. ”
Zhou Jiao took the towel and wiped it herself, this bad guy! "Tell me, how did you guess, what else I don't know, you came back at noon and said that they said something about fighting the shrews at the Zhou family?"
"What I'm going to say next is more troublesome, it's a long time, it must have a great impact on us, it's big enough for our family to go in the future, I didn't say that I would wait for my father to come back at noon? That's it, but it was a suspicion before, but now it's certain. You pack up your things first, and you don't have to talk about the box secrets and title deeds in front of your parents. If you guess correctly, your mother will arrive before your due date, and accompany you to have a baby, so that your father can see it. You have 8 days left in your due date. The inference is that in these 2 days, the third day is the day after tomorrow, and we will not come immediately when we arrive in the county, but will first find someone to find out our temper. She doesn't have time, hehe, she'll rush to wash three times.
When she arrives, I guess my father and mother will be confused, and we will first tell our parents about our speculation, and they will have a good idea, so we should discuss the countermeasures. How to treat her, if she proposes to go to Beijing with her, how to deal with it, it will be our father's and mother's business. This matter is not so simple, in less than a year this year, their Lin family suddenly sent 28 packages arrogantly, it should have been known in advance that your father was coming back. So why not tell you? So the question is interesting.
You put on the clothes, just the baby fell asleep, I carried you to the small living room of the step, my father will not enter our bedroom, and when the father and mother come, I will talk in detail, you don't say anything about the Shanghai house and those things, no one should tell us ourselves, wait to see your father and ask him again, the property is public during the mission, do you understand? ”
Zhou Jiao nodded, she is not stupid, others know that it is not just a property issue, but also a matter of ideology, and they can make a big fuss. She's going to have to take a good look at her mother's letter to see what it means.
After putting on her clothes, he wrapped it in a thick quilt and carried it to the small living room outside, and took the baby out and put it next to her in the running bedroom, so that he could go out with confidence.
