Chapter 54: The Wooden Box

Originally, Yushui wanted to volunteer to take a trip for Silly Zhu, but Silly Zhu hid things too tightly, and he couldn't find them when Shui Yu went.

Fortunately, MCA has already obtained the true inheritance of the stupid pillar, although he has not yet been able to come out of the blue, but his craftsmanship is not comparable to the two knives of the fat man, and there is no problem in sitting in the kitchen for the time being.

The stupid pillar came and went in a hurry, and when he came back, it was already more than half an hour later, holding a tight package in his arms with a serious expression.

"Long waiting!" Silly Zhu put the package on Lou Xiao'e's side and said, "This is what the deaf old lady left for you, I will hide it after the old lady leaves." ”

Lou Xiao'e looked at the cloth bag wrapped in layers of fabric, but her mood suddenly became complicated, and she couldn't help but think of the somewhat vague voice and smile in her mind, and all kinds of the past also flowed out slowly like spring water, gradually appearing in her memory.

It was the only light left in that gloomy life, the only warmth in the cold winter, and it accompanied Lou Xiao'e through countless difficult days and nights.

When several people saw Lou Xiao'e staring at the package in a daze, they didn't bother, just looking at Lou Xiao'e's expression, they knew that at this moment, she must be thinking about the deaf old lady.

After a long while, Lou Xiao'e stretched out her hand and slowly unwrapped the bag tightly and tightly, until a small dark red sandalwood box revealed her true face.

There was no lock on the box, just a simple buckle, Lou Xiao'e pressed the two ends of the box with both hands, her thumb against the lid of the box, but when she was about to open it, she stopped, raised her eyes and swept over everyone, and finally stayed on the stupid pillar for a moment before returning to the sandalwood box in front of her.

After closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, Lou Xiao'e lifted the lid of the box, and on the top of the box, there was a yellowed envelope with a red cloth underneath.

Lou Xiao'e looked at the envelope, and her hands trembled involuntarily.

The constantly changing eyes and expressions tell Lou Xiao'e's uncalm heart at this moment.

After a long time, Lou Xiao'e took out the envelope and took out the letter inside, the content of the letter was not much, but Lou Xiao'e looked at it for a while, her eyes moistened, and then two lines of tears slipped down her cheeks silently.

After a while, Lou Xiao'e, who looked like a strong woman, was already in tears and couldn't cry.

is also a woman, the rain was infected by Lou Xiao'e all of a sudden, and her eyes became sour, so she hurriedly came to Lou Xiao'e's side and comforted her softly.

Silly Zhu has always been a person who can't see women crying, and seeing Lou Xiao'e crying like that, he had no idea for a while, so he could only symbolically comfort a few words.

Wang Chong looked indifferent and ate the sumptuous dishes that had just been sent to the table not long ago, and tasted it carefully, although MCA's craftsmanship is good, there is still a big gap compared to the stupid pillar, not that MCA has not learned enough hard work, but that some things need years of rich experience to figure out the inner doorway.

MCA's age is a little older than the rain, if it weren't for the fact that Silly Zhu often led MCA to practice on the small stove used for reception in the factory, and also took MCA with him when he took on private work on weekdays, under the conditions of the past few years, MCA would not be able to practice this craft.

Lou Xiao'e cried for a while, and then solemnly stuffed the letter back into the envelope, and lifted the red cloth in the box, and under the red cloth were several small cloth bags.

Lou Xiao'e didn't hide it, in front of everyone, she took out the small cloth bags one by one and opened them and put them on the table, a total of seven pieces of jewelry, three jade crystal clear bracelets, two gemstone rings, and two strings of beads, the beads are not big, about the size of peanuts, but they are round and clear, and the size is equal.

Silly Zhu and Yushui have little ability to distinguish jewelry, but it can also be seen that these pieces of jewelry are not vulgar.

As for Wang Chong, he can be said to be a Chinese expert, the three tables in the box, two of them are of average quality, but the bracelet that is as warm as water is a treasure.

Under the seven kinds of jewelry, there is a neat stack of small yellow croaker, which is very dazzling.

Silly Zhu also looked at the neat little yellow croaker in the box with a shocked face.

"Sister Xiao'e, these are all that you put in the old lady and asked her to keep them for you?" He Yushui swallowed his saliva and said in shock.

Lou Xiao'e shook her head and took out one of the ordinary jade bracelets and said, "At that time, I only had six pieces in the old lady's place, and the old lady put this table in. ”

Silly Zhu said: "I said how can this bracelet look so familiar, after Autumn Leaves gave birth to the eldest of my family, the old lady also gave Autumn Leaves a similar one." ”

Silly Zhu didn't have the ability to distinguish between these jade jewelry and anything, and in his opinion, there was no difference between these bracelets except for a slight difference in color.

"The old lady also left a bracelet for her sister-in-law? How did I not know? He Yushui asked in surprise.

Silly Zhu said: "After the old lady gave the bracelet to her sister-in-law, your sister-in-law put away the bracelet, and she has never worn it in front of people, even I have only seen it once, where do you know where to go." ”

He Yushui suddenly realized that when the old lady died, there was a lot of trouble outside, and at that time, who had good things that were not secretly snatched up, where did they dare to take them out.

"I said, this box is not big, why is it so heavy!" Silly Zhu looked at the little yellow croaker in the box and suddenly said, "It turns out that there are so many small yellow croakers here." ”

Wang Zhong looked at the stupid pillar and asked curiously: "This box has been in your hands for so many years, you didn't think to open it?" ”

Silly Zhu said with a serious face: "The old lady deliberately explained when she left, this is what Xiao'e sister entrusted her to keep before leaving, and when Xiao'e sister comes back, this box is to be returned to Xiao'e sister intact, how can I open it." ”

Wang Zhong gave a thumbs up to the stupid pillar: "There are so many young students in the courtyard, no wonder the deaf old lady is very blue-eyed to Brother Zhu, and treats you as her own grandson. ”

If you want to say that the stupid pillar is a person, the shortcomings of the whole body really have to be counted carefully, even if you may not be able to count them on both hands, but the advantages are also obvious, and you have become friends with this kind of person, you don't have to worry about him making tricks behind your back.

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, her eyes were full of gratitude when she looked at Silly Zhu.

"Brother Zhuzi, thank you!" Lou Xiao'e suddenly said with a sincere face.

In the past, Lou Xiao'e called He Yuzhu a stupid pillar, even when she borrowed it at the deaf old lady's house and got the help of the stupid pillar, this title has never changed.

But today, at this moment, Lou Xiao'e's voice is deeply affectionate.

Silly Zhu didn't feel embarrassed: "Don't be so polite, the old lady treats me as her own grandson, this is her old man's last explanation before she dies, of course I have to do it." ”

"I have to thank you anyway." Lou Xiao'e hesitated for a while, rewrapped all the jewelry, put them in her handbag, re-covered the sandalwood box containing the little yellow croaker, picked it up and walked to Silly Zhu, and placed the box on the table in front of Silly Zhu.

"What do you mean by that?" Silly Zhu hurriedly stepped back and looked at Lou Xiao'e with a puzzled expression.

Lou Xiao'e said: "I put away those pieces of jewelry just now, one of the jade bracelets and the two strings of beads, is the heirloom of our Lou family, my grandmother gave it to my grandmother, my grandmother later gave it to my mother, and my mother gave it to me, if it weren't for you and the deaf old lady, these heirlooms are afraid that they would have long been out of the surname Lou, and now they can be recovered, so I have to thank you very much." ”

"No, no, it's too expensive for me to want." Silly Zhu hurriedly shook his head and stood up, away from the table, and away from the sandalwood box full of small yellow croaker.

Lou Xiao'e said: "This box of gold was originally the dowry prepared for me by my parents when I got married, and I hid it under the bed of Xu Damao's house back then, and later I divorced Xu Damao, so I took advantage of Xu Damao's absence to quietly take out this box and let the deaf old lady help me keep it. ”

"At the beginning, I handed over this box to the deaf old lady for safekeeping, because I was afraid that I would not be able to come back, and this thing would not fall into the hands of people like Xu Damao.

But Brother Zhuzi, you also said just now, the old lady treats you as her own grandson, and you also treat the old lady as your own grandmother, and you have helped keep it for so many years, otherwise, I am afraid that my few heirlooms would have been lost a long time ago. ”

As if she was afraid that the stupid pillar would not accept it, Lou Xiao'e added again: "The value of my heirlooms is not comparable to the twenty little yellow croakers in the box, Brother Zhuzi, don't shirk it." ”

On this box of gold, the two went back and forth for ten minutes, and in the end, it was Lou Xiao'e who cried with pear blossoms and rain, and Silly Zhu reluctantly accepted the gold.

After this experience, Lou Xiao'e has completely changed her opinion of the stupid pillar, and even with He Yushui, she has become a good girlfriend, Lou Xiao'e has been exercising in the northwest for many years, and has been doing business in Shencheng for several years, and she is also a good hand in management.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when the college entrance examination results were released, early in the morning, before dawn, Qin Jingru got up, pulled Wang Heng, took Wang Xinyi, and rode a bicycle to the school.

It didn't take long for the mother and son to happily come back from outside with large bags and small bags of things, and Qin Jingru was still carrying a live chicken with straw rope tied to his heels and wings.

As soon as the mother and son entered the courtyard, they saw Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong who were sitting in the courtyard playing chess, and Qin Jingru took the initiative to greet with a smile: "What about the second master and the third master playing chess?" ”

The two old men turned their heads to look at the mother and son, and also saw the chicken, duck and fish tied to the bicycles in the hands of the three of them.

"Xinyi's mother, what kind of day is it today, buying so many delicious foods?" Liu Haizhong asked curiously.

"You don't know this, the college entrance examination list is released today, look at Jingru like this, it must be Xin Yi who has been admitted to university." Yan Fugui is a teacher himself, and although he has been retired for several years, he still knows a lot about the college entrance examination.

Without waiting for the two of them to ask in detail, Qin Jingru couldn't wait to say: "Our family is hard and has been admitted to the Capital Medical College, let's cook something delicious today, treat her well." ”

The smile on his face was bright.

"Congratulations!" Yan Fugui immediately made a gesture of joy, and his face was full of smiles: "Xin Yi is worthy of being the daughter of Director Wang, as powerful as your father. ”

"Thank you for the compliment, I'm lucky to catch up." Wang Xinyi said modestly.

"Second master, third master, we won't bother you to get started!" Qin Jingru led her children into the door with a spring breeze on her face.

Liu Haizhong looked in the direction of the Wang family with a surprised expression: "That girl in Xinyi was really admitted to university?" ”

Yan Fugui also looked at the Wang family, and a little envy flashed in his eyes: "Qin Jingru said it himself, then there can be a fake, and he must have been admitted." ”

Liu Haizhong turned his head to look at Yan Fugui and asked, "Capital Medical College, when this girl graduates in the future, she will be a doctor?" ”

Yan Fugui said: "That's for sure. ”

"This girl looks at Wenwen quietly on weekdays, but she didn't expect to be so powerful!" Liu Haizhong said with emotion.

"Don't look at this girl who looks quiet, when she moves, several big men can't get close!" Yan Fugui suddenly changed his voice and said in a low voice.

"So powerful?" Liu Haizhong was stunned, obviously not expecting this stubble.

"Just those boys from the stupid pillar family, they practiced wrestling with the stupid pillar when they were young, and three plus one together is not enough for that girl to fight alone."

"Really?" Liu Haizhong asked in disbelief.

"Go back and ask those boys from the Silly Zhu family yourself." Yan Fugui said.

Liu Haizhong already believed a little, "So isn't this girl both civil and military?" ”

"Otherwise, those bastards in my family will see him like a mouse and a cat, what do you think is the reason?" Yan Fugui said angrily.

Liu Haizhong was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting this stubble.

The two were chatting, and suddenly Xu Damao, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, carrying a black leather bag in his hand, and his hair was shiny and shiny, like a calf licked, walked in.

"Yo, the second master and the third master are playing chess again!" Although Xu Damao was not treated in the courtyard a few years ago, and the big guys were too lazy to take care of him, but after a long time, the previous grievances gradually faded.

"Xu Damao?" The two old men looked at Xu Damao, who had changed into equipment, just like seeing the big girl who was wearing a red wedding dress and had just come down from the sedan chair.

"Are you getting rich?"

Liu Haizhong asked curiously, and Yan Fugui's eyes flickering with a strange light when he looked at Xu Damao.

Xu Damao said with a smile: "I made a little money, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning." ”

It is said that people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and only this brand-new equipment has made the two uncles have a great change in their opinion of Xu Damao.
