Chapter 38: A priceless heirloom
"Sister, Jingchuan and Linglong's affairs are a little hasty, Jingchuan has limited holidays here, and Linglong also has to accompany and take care of you in the hospital, this traditional set of processes is more time-consuming, you see that we adjust and simplify, is it okay?"
Zhou Lanping came to negotiate on behalf of the second sister, and finally arranged to listen to Bai Shuixian's opinion.
"Yes."
Bai Shuixian readily agreed, and she didn't pay attention to these traditional customs and red tape, etc., and arranged directly: "After Xiao Lu's marriage application is approved, the two young people will agree on a date by themselves and go directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register their marriage." As for the wedding arrangement, Xiao Lu and his mother-in-law can discuss it, and other engagements can be exempted. ”
Seeing that she was so good at talking, Zhou Lanping said with a smile: "The two children have the same mind, and the engagement process is up to you. ”
Speaking of this, she conveyed the words of the second sister: "Sister, my second sister said that the bride price is 1288 yuan, and the three turns and one ring are complete, and she will go to Seoul in advance to purchase all the complete, and send it directly to the new house of their young couple." In addition, Linglong's wedding dress and shoes, etc., she said that she would buy them in Kyoto and bring them over, so that you can recuperate with peace of mind here, and you don't have to bother to prepare these. ”
"Mother-in-law, this is too polite."
Bai Shuixian was a little moved, this year, the daughter-in-law can give 200 bride price is already a high opinion of the woman, the mother of the family gave a high bride price of 1288 yuan, which is enough to show that she values Linglong very much.
If a daughter can be valued and loved by her in-laws, every mother will be very relieved, and she will be very relieved to marry her daughter.
"Linglong was carefully raised and raised by you, she is smart and capable, well-behaved and sensible and filial, and she is educated in high school, and she is so beautiful, she is worth it." Zhou Lanping said with a smile.
Bai Linglong, who was standing opposite, listened to his aunt's praise like this, and he was rarely embarrassed, and he didn't dare to look at people with his head down.
The rest of the things were basically talked about by the elders, and the three juniors listened quietly without disturbing them, until the doctor on duty knocked on the door and came in to change the dressing.
The Song family waited for the doctor to change the medicine and made sure that they were recovering well, and then they got up and said goodbye and went back.
Lu Jingchuan didn't go with them, Bai Linglong wanted to go to the hospital bathhouse to take a bath at night, and asked him to stay and talk to his mother.
Bai Linglong took a quick shower and washed her hair, she came to the city in a hurry before, she didn't bring a change of clothes, and she could only wear the original dirty clothes after taking a bath, which was unbearable for her, who had always been a little clean.
But now the conditions are limited, and the state-run stores are closed at night, so I can only take time out tomorrow to buy clothes and change clothes.
Seeing her come in with wet hair, Lu Jingchuan immediately got up: "Linglong, dry your hair quickly, don't catch a cold." ”
The original owner has a black and beautiful medium-length hair, the hair quality is too good to say, she has never used a fancy shampoo, she usually washes her hair with the most ordinary honey locust juice, this black thick hair really makes her envious and jealous.
It's just that I don't have a hair dryer now, so after wiping the water dry, I have to let my hair dry slowly and naturally.
Lu Jingchuan was a careful person, seeing that the towel was wet, and she didn't change her clothes, she hurriedly said: "Linglong, I'll go back to my aunt's house and bring you a towel, dry my hair and go to bed." ”
"Okay."
She really needs a towel now, so she won't be pretentious with him.
After he left, Bai Shuixian said to her, "Linglong, you can go to the state-run store tomorrow to buy some more daily necessities, and also buy two new sets of clothes to change." I don't want the things left in the Bai family, they are all tattered and patched, and I won't wear these shabby clothes in the future. ”
Bai Linglong also has this plan, he wants to buy more clothes, and he also wants to buy a few sets of new clothes and shoes for his mother.
Their mother and daughter are about to start a new life, everything in the past is gone, they have to be replaced with a new one from head to toe, and they will meet a better future with the best new image.
"Linglong."
White Narcissus suddenly remembered something very important.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Bai Linglong walked up to her with her wet hair curled.
Bai Shuixian frowned, and said with a solemn face: "Linglong, I still have a very important thing to hide in the Bai family, and after completing the divorce procedures with Bai Jianren tomorrow, you go back to Niujiaowan, and you must help me get the things back." ”
"Mom, what is it?" Bai Linglong asked her.
"It's a bracelet, an ancient bracelet handed down from our ancestors, a priceless heirloom."
When White Narcissus said this to her, she deliberately lowered her voice, which was only enough for the mother and daughter to hear.
Bai Linglong frowned slightly, and asked her in a low voice: "Mom, you lost your memory and forgot the past before, how do you know to hide this bracelet?" Also, your money and gold bars have been cheated out of scum, with his temperament, why didn't he take your bracelet? ”
"I had amnesia at the time, but my brain was not broken, and when I was taken back by Bai Jianren, I always felt that something was wrong. But I didn't have any documents or letters of introduction, and it was very chaotic outside, full of gangsters, and I didn't dare to go to the city to check things out. ”
"He took the money and gold bars on me while I was amnesiac and didn't remember it, and as for the ancient bracelet, I didn't put it in my bag at the time, but hid it in the inner pocket of my clothes."
"Maybe it's the memory of your grandfather when he entrusted me with the ancient bracelet, which left an instinctive obsession in my mind, even if I lose my memory and forget the past, I have an instinctive desire to hide the ancient bracelet."
"It's also that I'm not cautious enough, I originally hid the bracelet, but it was inadvertently turned out by Bai Jianren later."
"He wanted to take it at that time, it was the most intense time to fight the landlord, I stopped him for this reason, he was also afraid at the time, so he returned the bracelet to me, and then I changed a place to hide. He asked me several times later, but I ignored him. ”
Bai Linglong thought that with his temperament, he would definitely grab the things he fancied, he may not have had eyesight before, but now that he has been in the city for so many years, he has also embezzled and secretly hidden some good goods in his hands, he should know the value of the ancient bracelet, and he can't be unmoved.
"Mom, are you sure the bracelet is still hidden?"
Bai Shuixian was also unsure, and said with a frown: "In order not to be discovered by them, I didn't look at it often, the last time I checked it was two months ago, and it was still there." ”
Bai Linglong nodded and arranged: "Tell me where you are hiding, I will take the time to go back, ask for the money back by the way, and finish other things at the same time." Wait for Lu Jingchuan to come over, I'll tell him and let him take care of you for a day. ”
"Okay."
White Narcissus whispered the address to her.
