Chapter 144 Old Money and Photos

After packing up her clothes, Zhang Jingyi took out a small cloth bag, which contained photos of her and Liu Huaqi, a condolence letter from the Andong County Committee, a letter from Liu Zhaorui, and the 50 yuan.

After a while, Zhang Jingyi picked out the photos of Liu Huaqi and Liu Zhaorui, two of them were of three people, she thought about it and kept it.

"Return the letter and the money. I don't need his money." Zhang Jingyi put together the 50 yuan, the letter, and the photos to be brought, and put them on a handkerchief, planning to wrap it with this.

There is also a small bag with straps in the cloth bag, a small red cloth bag with pink lace trimming on the side of the bag cover.

"This is Jin Rong's. She carried it on her back every day when she was a child, but now she may have forgotten it." Zhang Jingyi held the small bag in his hand and kneaded it, feeling a little emotional.

Zhang Qingzhi went to pick up the money on the handkerchief: "Mom. Mom, this money can't be spent now, it's expired."

Zhang Jingyi was stunned for a moment: "Can the money still expire? Well, it has already expired once."

She opened Liu Guixin's small bag when she was a child, and took out a roll of money from it: "Jin Rong kept it all the time, and said she would keep it for her brother to buy things."

Zhang Qingzhi took the money and opened it to look at it, and said with a smile: "My mother, I keep all of this. I can't spend it for a long time. Now I can just look at it as a picture. It's not a lot. Oh, it's about a hundred thousand. There are three yuan, so I can’t spend this one.”

Zhang Qingzhi smiled and looked at them one by one.

Fifty thousand yuan, ten thousand yuan, five hundred yuan, ten yuan, three yuan, one yuan, five cents and two cents, and five cents. The currency is quite complete. They are all the first and second sets of RMB. In 77, they would All of them have been discontinued.

"Dad, what is this?" The second child crawled over and looked at the money in Zhang Qingzhi's hand and asked.

"Money, how about?" Zhang Qingzhi teased his son.

"Yes, can I buy popsicles?" The second child looked at Zhang Qingzhi and asked.

"That's expired money, you can't spend it, buy a popsicle." The boss quarreled, and he understood.

"You can't spend it. This is from your mother's childhood, and it has expired long ago. How much was fifty thousand at that time? Five yuan, right? Dad."

Zhang Wanzhi nodded with a cigarette pouch: "1 yuan is exchanged for a new one. If it is exchanged at that time, it would only cost about ten yuan, which is not too little."

Zhang Qingzhi stuffed the waste money back into the small bag and threw it to the second child: "It's useless. Just take it and play."

The second child took a small wallet and looked at the photo again: "Who are these?"

Zhang Qingzhi lifted the second child up and put it aside: "What are children doing asking about these things? Go and play."

The second child sat on the side with her mother's small wallet when she was a child, watching Zhang Jingyi wrap up the ones to be taken away, and repackage the remaining ones and put them in the box on the cabinet.

No one can imagine how much the useless money in this small wallet will be worth in the future.

After dinner, the family lay down early. At this moment, the rural people follow the sun, rising at sunrise and resting at sunset.There is nothing at the moment, let alone amateur life.

Zhang Wanli was still sleeping in the Westinghouse, where there were five people in a bunk on the South Kang.The northern kang is too cold to sleep on, and no one has so much spare firewood to burn a few kangs.

Zhang Qing took off his clothes on the kang, and saw the padded jacket that the boss had ripped off, and asked: "It's so cold, what are you two doing with the top?"

The boss said, "That's our secret base."

The second child followed suit and nodded: "That's fun, I can see far away. The big rock can sit or lie down, and the tree can also sit on people."

Zhang Qingzhi got angry when he heard that, grabbed the boss and pressed it on his leg, and slapped his buttocks. The boss slapped and screamed: "It's fun, it's fun, can you sit on people, can you still sit? Look at the torn clothes, Are you blind?"

The eldest was crying, and the second was so frightened that he got into bed and shrank his head in, not daring to move.

Zhang Wanzhi said: "Okay, little one, it wasn't intentional, just tear it up. Don't hit me."

Zhang Qingzhi let go of the boss: "If you go up the mountain or down the river, see if I don't kill you."

Zhang Jingyi said: "You still talk about beatings. Two days ago, your father beat me several times. It made me angry."

Zhang Qingzhi turned his head and asked, "What's wrong? Why did my father beat them?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "I don't know, the two brothers are playing by the side of the ditch behind, and your father, who is not dead, somehow got here. I finished beating before I went over, and the child was crying there.

Let me scold.That old boss, next time, I will scold him once I see him.Not a thing. "

Zhang Qingzhi licked his lips, unable to answer those words.Turning to the boss, "Why did your grandfather beat you two?"

The eldest wiped his tears: "We were playing here, so he came over and asked us what his name was. The second brother didn't know each other, so he was beaten. I said his name was Zhang Yusheng, and he beat me several times. Down."

Zhang Qingzhi moved his mouth: "It should be hit, you are the one who named your father?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "You should scold him. Ask the child what his name is. What is he called if he is not Zhang Yusheng? Did the child say something wrong? It's not about asking the child what he is called. This old man, I will look at him later."

Zhang Qingzhi sighed and said nothing.

The two children have never been in contact with their grandpa and uncle since they were young. If they don't care about it, don't talk about family relationship. The eldest can know each other because of their grandparents, so I can't blame the children for this matter.

"As for the flashlight, put the last battery upside down when you don't use it, and turn it over when you use it, so as not to run out of electricity. Don't be reluctant to use it, and I will come to bring you batteries later.

The battery needs to be replaced with three batteries at the same time, not just one battery.Don't throw away the replaced battery, it can still be used in semiconductors.I'll get you a semiconductor to listen to tomorrow. "

Zhang Jingyi's attention was diverted: "Semiconductor? Play box?"

Zhang Qingzhi's home has a workshop-rewarded radio, the size of a [-]-inch black and white TV set, which is usually called a play box, and Zhang Jingyi has played with it.

Zhang Qingzhi said: "Well, it's smaller than an opera box, only as big as a brick, and it uses batteries."

Zhang Jingyi clicked his lips: "That's not bad, there are songs in it. The singing is beautiful."

She will not be like an old lady in an ordinary family. Her first reaction is to spend money, she will ask the price, and she will be reluctant.The influence of the growth environment on people is engraved in the bones of people and cannot be erased.

The lights were turned off, and the room fell into darkness. The adults stopped talking, and the moonlight shone in through the gaps in the curtains.

The dog occasionally made some noise when walking in the outhouse, and the old cat curled up on the quilt of the second child and purred softly.

The whole family woke up at four o'clock the next morning, Zhang Jingyi went to cook, Zhang Qingzhi dressed the two children and waited for them to wash their faces.

After dinner, Zhang Qingzhi and Zhang Jingyi set off with their two children.Zhang Wanzhi sent him to the bottom of the walnut tree on the ridge, and stood there watching two big, two small and four people walk away under the moonlight.
