As soon as the necklace arrived, Ruan Jiaojiao fluttered her crow-like eyelashes and opened her eyes.

It is said that when you look at a beauty under the lamp, the more you look at it, the better it looks.

What about jewelry?

The white velvet box contains a pearl necklace that is almost the same size and has a very good gloss.

It is a necklace composed of 22 10mm black pearls and a dozen 2-carat diamonds, which is splashing and somewhat exaggerated, and cannot be worn daily, but can only be used to match dresses.

Black pearl is a new type of jewelry that was suddenly inflated in price in the seventies by virtue of the anchoring effect.

Jewelry dealers put worthless black pearls with very expensive diamond gemstones, and when black pearls appear in front of people's eyes, people naturally anchor their price to the price of those expensive gemstones.

Since then, the worthless black pearl has turned over and become the "queen of pearls", and the price has remained high.

Ruan Jiaojiao still likes the colorful black beauty of black pearls, although she knows that compared to the prices of this era, the price of this necklace is obviously inflated.

However, she is not a collector, and she does not buy jewelry for the sake of its price increase, nor is she afraid of its depreciation, but only out of love, so it doesn't matter.

Cover the box, and before Ji Huai'an came back, she had to toss her suitcase.

Otherwise, the box is still in place and has not been opened, and there are two more things on the bed that obviously cannot be stuffed into the basket, which is not easy to explain.

…

Ji Huai'an came out of the neighbor's house empty-handed, and ran non-stop to the place with the most households in the village.

He was going to the carpenter's uncle, and he made a deposit for the other person in his hand, and finally he didn't want the wooden dowry.

"Uncle Mu, you and Brother Ai Dang help me carry the barrel up, and I'll pull it back myself."

The old carpenter finally sold what he had in his hand, and he was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth.

Although there are still a few cabinets left, Xiao Ji Zhiqing didn't ask for them, but those cabinets are sought-after goods, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to sell them.

Listening to Ji Huai'an's words, the old carpenter hurriedly beckoned his son to carry the half-person-high wooden bath barrel onto the cart.

Waiting for the barrel and the contents to be fixed on the cart, the old carpenter smoked a dry cigarette while sending Ji Huai'an out with a smile, and specially told him to be careful, he was not in a hurry to ask for the cart, just come back tomorrow.

Walking on a bumpy dirt road with a wooden cart and being careful not to knock the barrel down is actually very laborious.

But as soon as Ji Huai'an thought that these things were for Ruan Jiaojiao, his body seemed to have inexhaustible strength.

She gave up the good life in Shanghai for herself and stayed in the barren Peach Blossom Village, of course, she had to try her best to give her the most comfortable life!

…

When Ji Huai'an opened the lock and entered the door, Ruan Jiaojiao was already sitting on a bamboo chair and poured out most of the things in the box, and the toiletries and skin care bottles and cans were all placed on the table next to the bed.

Ruan Jiaojiao, who was still a little resentful at first, is now in a better mood because of the healing of the black pearl necklace.

Seeing Ji Huai'an coming back, she turned her head with a smile, "You're back~ Can you eat!" ”

Ruan Jiao's delicate little face was plated with a layer of shallow candlelight, hazy and beautiful.

Being looked at by her with such a smile, Ji Huaian was both ashamed and felt a little itchy in his throat.

He coughed, "Well, it should be soon, I'll ask Aunt Gong next door to help cook, and her son will bring it over when it's ready." Why don't you eat something else to cushion your stomach first? ”

Speaking of this, Ji Huaian suddenly remembered that he didn't like to eat snacks, and there was nothing at home that could cushion his stomach.

The only thing left in the house, which can be eaten freshly, is only the three-fold noodle steamed buns in the cupboard of the hall, which are dry and hard, and they also raise their throats.

Ruan Jiaojiao seemed to see Ji Huai'an's annoyance, turned around and continued to sort out the things in the box, and said indifferently: "Don't do it, I just want to eat." I also brought a lot of food in the basket. But I don't want to eat those ......."

Without waiting for Ji Huai'an to speak, Ruan Jiaojiao changed the topic, "Will I sleep in this room today?" ”

"Yes, I'll clean it up now. You live in this room, and I live in the other room on the other side of the hall. If something happens at night, I'll hear you when you shout. ”

Ji Huai'an said and began to look for something to make the bed again.

Ruan Jiaojiao's luggage was no longer over, and she held her cheeks with great interest to watch him busy.

I saw him roll up the bed and run out with a big stride, and within a minute, he ran back with a large clump of straw in his arms.

Ji Huai'an spread the straw evenly on the board of the wooden bed, and explained to Ruan Jiaojiao while laying: "These are the straws that were dried last year, I will lay it and put a quilt on it, and it will not be embarrassing." ”

Afraid that Ruan Jiaojiao would dislike the dirty straw, he added: "I promise to lay it tightly for you and won't let these straws touch you." ”

Ruan Jiaojiao has no cleanliness habits, as long as the naked eye can't see the dirty, and he has guaranteed it, so he replied: "Then you have to shop a little more, I want it to be very soft!" ”

"Hmm!" Ji Huai'an responded heavily, and his eyes became more and more serious, as if making a bed was a very sacred thing.

After laying out the straw, he took out a thick quilt from a large box, and the cloth wrapped in the quilt was washed white, but the quilt looked quite fluffy.

After laying out the quilt, Ji Huai'an began to rummage through another large cabinet, and dragged out a folded beige gauze from the innermost corner, which looked like a mosquito net.

Sure enough, it's actually a mosquito net.

He ran outside the house and brought back four thin bamboo poles, tied them to the four corners of the wooden frame bed with ropes, and then shook off the mosquito net and spread it out.

Just as he was laying it out and began to rummage through the cabinet like a little squirrel and take out a piece of fabric that looked like a bed sheet, Ruan Jiaojiao called out to him: "Wait, I have the bed sheet cover, use mine." ”

Catching a glimpse of his calloused and somewhat rough palms, Ruan Jiaojiao glanced at the hot water bottle in the corner, "Is there hot water?" Soak your hands in hot water first. ”

"Okay."

After Ruan Jiaojiao finished speaking, Ji Huaian obediently put the sheets back and found a wooden basin to pour water and soak his hands.

He won't ask why, and he won't wonder if Ruan Jiaojiao dislikes him for having dirty hands, but he is obedient and obedient, and he will do whatever she says.

Ji Huai'an has been alone all his life, and after his grandfather left, he had no home.

When Grandpa was sick and confused, he often held his hand and told stories about the past over and over again, about his friendship with Grandpa Ruan, and about how good Grandpa Ruan was.

When he came to his senses, he would sigh that if Grandpa Ruan was here, he would send himself to Grandpa Ruan's house, where there was a sister of the same age as him.

Until his deathbed, his grandfather held his hand tightly and told him about this marriage contract, telling him not to give up and live hard.

Grandpa Ruan is back, and he has a home again......

"This water isn't hot, it's almost, stretch it out and wipe your hands."
