Chapter 500 Wooden Box
  Yu Yu originally wanted to volunteer to go for Sha Zhu, but Sha Zhu hid the things so tightly that Yu Yu could not find them at all.

Fortunately, Ma Hua had already learned the true story of Sha Zhu. Although he was not yet able to excel in his skill, his skills were not comparable to those of Fatty's two knives. There was no problem in being in charge of the kitchen for the time being.

Silly Zhu came and went in a hurry, and when he came back, it was already more than half an hour later. He was holding a tight package in his arms and had a serious expression.

"I've been waiting for a long time!" Silly Zhu put the package next to Lou Xiao'e and said, "This is what the deaf old lady left for you. I hid it after the old lady left."

Lou Xiao'e looked at the cloth bag wrapped in layers of fabric, but her mood suddenly became complicated. She couldn't help but recall the somewhat vague voice, face, and smile in her mind. All the past events slowly flowed out like spring water and gradually appeared. In memory.

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

When several people saw Lou Xiao'e staring at the package in a daze, they didn't bother them. 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 while, Lou Xiao'e stretched out her hand and slowly unwrapped the tight layers of the bag until a small dark red sandalwood box revealed its true appearance.

There was no lock on the box, it was simply buckled. Lou Xiaoe held both ends of the box with both hands, her thumbs resting on the lid. When she was about to open it, she stopped, raised her eyes and scanned the crowd, and finally stopped at Si Zhu. After a moment, he returned to the sandalwood box in front of him.

After closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, Lou Xiaoe opened the lid of the box. 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 the story of Lou Xiao'e's unquiet heart at this moment.

After a long while, Lou Xiao'e took out the envelope and the letter paper inside. The content of the letter was not much, but Lou Xiao'e could only read it for a moment before her eyes became moist, and then two lines of clear tears silently slipped down her cheeks. .

After a while, Lou Xiao'e, who looked like a strong woman, burst into tears and burst into tears.

As a woman, Yu Yu was immediately infected by Lou Xiao'e, and her eyes became sore. She hurriedly came to Lou Xiao'e's side and comforted her softly.

Silly Zhu had always been someone who hated to see women cry. Seeing Lou Xiao'e crying like that, he had no idea for a moment and could only give a few symbolic words of comfort.

Wang Zhong ate the sumptuous dishes that had just been served on the table with an indifferent expression, savoring them carefully. Although Ma Hua's craftsmanship was good, it was still far behind Sha Zhu. It was not that Ma Hua did not study hard enough. But some things require years of rich experience to figure out the inner secrets.

Ma Hua is only a little older than Yu Yu. If Shazhu hadn't often led Ma Hua to practice on the small stove used for receptions in the factory, and would also take Ma Hua with him when he took on private jobs. With the same conditions as in previous years, Ma Hua would still be I can't practice this skill.

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

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

Silhu and Yuyu have no ability to identify jewelry, but they can also see that these pieces of jewelry are not commonplace.

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

Under the seven pieces of jewelry, there is a neat stack of small yellow croakers, which are so golden that they are dazzling.

Silly Zhu also looked at the neatly packed little yellow croakers in the box with a shocked look on his face.

"Sister Xiao'e, did you leave these with the old lady and asked her to keep them for you?" He Yuyu swallowed and said with the same shock.

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

Silly Zhu said: "I wonder why this bracelet looks so familiar. After Qiuye gave birth to my eldest son, the old lady also gave Qiuye something similar to this."

Silly Zhu has no ability to distinguish these jade jewelry. In his opinion, there is no difference between these bracelets except for the slight difference in color.

"The old lady also left a bracelet for my sister-in-law? Why didn't I know?" He Yuyu asked with a surprised look on his face.

Silly Zhu said: "After the old lady gave the bracelet to your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law put the bracelet away. She has never worn it in front of others. I have only seen it once. You don't know where to go."

He Yuyu suddenly realized that when the old lady passed away, there was a lot of commotion outside. At that time, if anyone had good things, they would not steal them secretly, but they would dare to show them to others.

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

Wang Zhong looked at Sha Zhu and asked curiously: "You have had this box in your hands for so many years, and you didn't even think about opening it?"

Silly Zhu said with a serious face: "The old lady specifically confessed before she left that this was the box that Sister Xiao'e entrusted her to keep before she left. When Sister Xiao'e comes back, this box will be returned to Xiao'e intact. Girl, how can I open it?"

Wang Zhong gave a thumbs up to Silly Zhu: "There are so many young people in the courtyard. No wonder the deaf old lady favors you, Brother Zhu, and regards you as her own grandson. Although the old lady can't use her ears, her legs and feet are not good either." , but the way you look at people is indeed unique.”

If you want to talk about Silly Zhu, you really have to count all his shortcomings. Even if you can’t count them with both hands, the advantages are also very obvious. If you become friends with this kind of person, you don’t have to worry about him playing tricks behind his back. Trick you.

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she looked at Silhu with gratitude in her eyes.

"Brother Zhuzi, thank you!" Lou Xiao'e suddenly said sincerely.

Lou Xiao'e used to call He Yuzhu Silly Zhu. Even when he stayed at the deaf old lady's house and got Silly Zhu's help, the name never changed.

But today, at this moment, Lou Xiao'e called Zhu Zhu Ge with deep affection.

Silly Zhu didn't feel embarrassed at all: "You don't have to be so polite. The old lady regards me as her grandson. This is her last instruction before she died. Of course I have to comply with it."

"No matter what, I have to thank you." Lou Xiao'e hesitated for a while, then rewrapped the jewelry and put it into her handbag. She closed the sandalwood box containing the small yellow croaker again, picked it up and walked to Silly Next to Si Zhu, he placed the box on the table in front of Si Zhu.

"What do you mean?" Shazhu quickly stepped back and looked at Lou Xiao'e with a puzzled look. Lou Xiao'e said: "The pieces of jewelry I put away just now, including the jade bracelet and the two strings of beads, are heirlooms of our Lou family. My great-grandmother gave them to my grandma, and my grandma later gave them to my mother. I Mom gave it to me again. If it weren’t for you and the deaf old lady, these family heirlooms would no longer have the surname Lou. Now that I can find them back, I want to thank you very much, both emotionally and rationally."

"No, no, this is too expensive. I can't have it." Silly Zhu shook his head quickly, stood up, and stayed away from the table and the sandalwood box filled with small yellow croakers.

Lou Xiao'e said: "This box of gold was originally a dowry prepared by my parents for me when I got married. I hid it under the bed of Xu Damao's house. Later, I divorced Xu Damao, so I took advantage of Xu Damao's absence. , I quietly took out this box and asked the deaf old lady to keep it for me. Otherwise, I'm afraid this box of things would either be lost or stolen by Xu Damao."

"I gave 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. I originally wanted to give the gold in this box to the old lady, but the old lady My wife is noble and upright and looks down on this yellow and white thing.

But Brother Zhuzi, you just said that the old lady regards you as her own grandson, and you respect the old lady as your own grandma. Besides, you have helped keep it for so many years. Otherwise, my few family heirlooms, I'm afraid it has been lost a long time ago. "

As if she was afraid that Silly Zhu would not accept it, Lou Xiao'e added again: "The value of my few heirlooms cannot be compared with the twenty small yellow croakers in the box. Brother Zhuzhu, please don't refuse."

For this box of gold, the two of them exchanged pleasantries back and forth for ten minutes. In the end, Lou Xiaoe cried so much that Silly Zhu reluctantly accepted the gold.

After this experience, Lou Xiao'e completely changed her view of Silly Zhu, and even became good friends with He Yuyu. Lou Xiao'e has been practicing in the northwest for many years, and has been doing business in Shenzhen for several years. She is also a good hand in management. After getting together with He Yueyue, he taught He Yueyue some management things, and the relationship between the two became better and better.

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 and Wang Xinyi, and rushed to school on their bicycles.

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

As soon as the mother and son entered the courtyard, they saw Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong sitting in the courtyard playing chess. Qin Jingru took the initiative to say hello with a smile on her face: "Are the second and third uncles playing chess?"

The two old men turned to look at the mother and son in unison, and saw chicken, duck and fish in their hands and tied to their bicycles.

"Mom Xinyi, what kind of a good day is it today to buy so many delicious foods?" Liu Haizhong asked curiously.

"You don't even know this. The college entrance examination results are released today. Looking at Jingru's appearance, Xinyi must have been admitted to college." Yan Fugui is a teacher himself. Although he has retired for several years, he still knows a lot about the college entrance examination.

Before the two of them asked her in detail, Qin Jingru couldn't wait to say: "Our Xinyi is admitted to the Capital Medical College. Let's cook something delicious today to reward her."

The smile on his face was very bright.

"Congratulations!" Yan Fugui immediately raised his hands in a congratulatory gesture, with a smile on his face: "Xinyi is indeed Director Wang's daughter, as powerful as your father. From now on, your old Wang family, But it’s a scholarly family.”

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Third. It's just my luck that I caught up." Wang Xinyi said modestly.

"Second uncle, third uncle, we won't disturb you when you get started!" Qin Jingru led her children through the door with a cheerful expression on her face.

Liu Haizhong looked in the direction of the Wang family with a surprised look on his face: "Did that girl Xinyi really get admitted to college?"

Yan Fugui also looked at the Wang family, with a bit of envy flashing in his eyes: "Qin Jingru said it herself, it can be false, she must have passed the exam."

Liu Haizhong turned to look at Yan Fugui and asked, "Capital Medical College, after this girl graduates, will she be a doctor?"

Yan Fugui said: "That's for sure."

"This girl usually looks like Wen Wen quietly, but I never thought she could be so powerful!" Liu Haizhong said with emotion.

"Don't look at how quiet this girl looks. If she moves her hands, several big men can't get close to her!" Yan Fugui suddenly changed his tone and lowered his voice.

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

"Just the few boys from Shazhu's family have been practicing wrestling with Shazhu since they were little. The three of them together are not enough for that girl to fight alone."

"Real or false?" Liu Haizhong asked in disbelief.

"You can find out later by asking those boys from Shazhu's family." Yan Fugui said.

Liu Haizhong was already somewhat convinced, "So, doesn't this girl have both civil and military skills?"

"Otherwise those bastards in my family would be like a mouse to a cat when they see him. Why do you think it's because of that?" Yan Fugui said angrily.

Liu Haizhong was stunned when he was told this, obviously he did not expect this.

The two were chatting when suddenly Xu Damao, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, carrying a black leather bag in his hand, with combed hair that looked like a calf that had been licked by a calf, walked in.

"Hey, the second uncle and the third uncle are playing chess again!" Although Xu Damao was not popular in the courtyard in the past few years and everyone was too lazy to talk to him, but as time went by, the previous grudges gradually faded away. It is said that the relationship is as good as ever, but it is still okay to meet and greet each other.

"Xu Damao?" The two old men looked at Xu Damao who had changed his equipment, just like they saw the young girl wearing a bright red wedding dress who had just gotten off the sedan.

"Are you getting rich?"

Liu Haizhong asked curiously, and Yan Fugui looked at Xu Damao with a strange light in his eyes.

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

It is said that a man relies on his clothes and his horse relies on his saddle. Just this brand new equipment made the two uncles have a great change in their view of Xu Damao.
