Siheyuan: living in a prosperous era

Chapter 12
After dinner, Xiao Hao was asked to go to his room to do his homework. His mother took Yang Shuning to her bedroom and took out a box from under the bed with a lock on it.After unlocking, there is a small box. It is very waterproof. Continue to unlock.

The mother opened the small box and found valuables inside.

"Xiao Ning, these are left by your grandfather and your father, and there are some left by your grandparents. I also gave Chen'er's part to him, but I will keep it when he goes to join the army. Everything here is Damn, you are the eldest son, and according to the rules, you will inherit."

There wasn't much in the box, just a few rolls of dollars and pounds, about $5000 and 3000 pounds.Two sets of bracelets, a pair of very green jade and a pair of Hetian jade.There are also several seals made of soapstone and field yellow stone. The materials look very good, all red and all yellow.There are also several jade carvings made of very good materials.In the end, there were 15 large yellow croakers and 18 small yellow croakers.

However, Yang Shuning didn't understand jade, nor did he understand chicken blood stone or field yellow stone. He just thought it looked good and should be expensive.Moreover, they were all left behind by my grandfather, a landlord and capitalist, so I thought they were quite good.

As for the large yellow croaker and the small yellow croaker, they are actually gold. During the Republic of China, a gold bar weighing twelve pounds was commonly called "large yellow croaker", which is equivalent to 312.5 grams in today's weight.A gold bar weighing one or two pounds is called "little yellow croaker", which is equivalent to 31.25 grams in today's weight.

15根大黄鱼，每根现在去黑市上的话相当于1000块钱，也就1.5万元。18根小黄鱼就是1800块。

Finally, there are a few watches, three watches and a pocket watch.

"These watches are your father's trophies. They are all confiscated and can still be used. They are all good foreign brands and high-end goods."

Yang Shuning knew a little bit about watches. A closer look revealed that among the three watches, two were Patek Philippe and one was a Vacheron Constantin. The pocket watch was also from Patek Philippe. Has his father captured a senior officer?

Otherwise, it would be possible to have these four watches. These watches are very expensive. If you keep them and sell them later, you can give your children and grandchildren a large flat in the capital.

But in a few years there will be a storm, and these jewelry, foreign currencies, and gold will all become hot potatoes.I have no space, so I can only find a way to hide it.

There are only a few watches that can be used, but these watches are too expensive, so I'd better keep them at home. I'd better buy another one for myself.The watch I am currently using is one left by my father, and it is no longer very accurate, so I often need to check it.

"The seed water of these jadeite is very good, at least they are ice type or above, and the jadeite is also mutton fat white jade. You can keep it when the time comes. They are all heirlooms of our family."

"Also, our family now has more than 5000 yuan in savings, including your father's pension and the balance of your father's and mine's wages over the years." Mother continued to talk about the family's wealth.

"Mom, I'll just keep these jewels. As long as Xiao Hao and I can share the money, Xiao Hao can take more. What do you think?"

Yang Shuning felt that in the coming years, the contents of the box would not be available to the world, and could only be used for wages and savings.It is really no longer possible to use large and small yellow croakers.

After putting the things back into the box and waterproofing them again, her mother also gave the key to Yang Shuning, and he kept it.

He took the box back to his bedroom and put it away first. Thinking of the balance of his four-year college bills and the bills given by Lin Bo, he took these bills and made plans with his mother.

When I got to my mother's room, I opened Lin Bo's bills. In addition to some daily bills for sugar, cigarettes, wine, pork, grain, etc., there was also a bicycle ticket and two watch tickets.There are also some cloth tickets.

At first glance, the bicycle is a permanent ticket, and the watch is a Shanghai brand men's watch and a women's watch.

"You, Uncle Lin, are serious. How can I, the section chief of a supply and marketing cooperative, collect these bills?"

Mother looked at the bicycle tickets and watch tickets and said, "But this is your uncle Lin's wish, you can use it first."

Then he said: "I also have a few tickets here, which are reserved for you. I have also prepared the ones for you and Xueer's wedding. You can take them first." After that, he put the ones on the desk The lock was opened and an envelope was taken out. The envelope contained two bicycle tickets, two watch tickets, a sewing ticket, a radio ticket, and even an electric fan ticket.There are also some furniture tickets, such as bedding tickets, wardrobe tickets, etc.There are also some cloth tickets.

These are all good things! ! !

"If these tickets are not rewards from the supply and marketing cooperative, or if they are not gifts from your father's comrades, you can take them. You can also take your bankbook, because you still need money to buy things."

"Mom, I can't afford so much. Apart from other things, we already have a sewing machine at home. Why do we need to buy it again? I think the electric fan is good. I bought it just for the weather."

Counting the bills given by Uncle Lin and his mother, Yang Shuning held three bicycle tickets, four watch tickets, one sewing ticket, one radio ticket, and one electric fan ticket each.Furniture tickets can buy 72 legs.The total number of cloth tickets is ten pieces.

It seems that I am still a small rich man, and these bills can be used as the head of the black market.

"You just know how to enjoy it, but I have given you the bill and money, so you just need to keep it yourself. Also, I have discussed it with your father-in-law, and next Sunday is a good day for you and Xue'er to get married. You can't I have been playing with her for nothing, even though I am my fiancée, she still has no certificate and no banquet."

"Ahem." Yang Shuning felt embarrassed. It seemed that Xueer from home was indeed loved by her mother, but she was originally planning to get married, whether it was a month earlier or a month later.

"Okay, then I'll start getting ready tomorrow?"

"While it's still dark, go to your father-in-law's house first and tell Xiaoxue that you two will go back to work tomorrow to get your marriage certificate and get it first."

Mother Yang began to give instructions.

"Okay, I'll be there right away. Mom, do you have anything else?"

"No, just get the certificate tomorrow and go and change all the furniture in your room first. The ones you used before were all brought back by the army. Since you are getting married, just change them all to new ones. Also, in the future Keep the heirlooms for yourself, and leave the money to Xueer."

"Why don't we just renovate our home? I think the decoration in our home is too old. The last time we renovated it was just a patchwork. This time, just in case I get married, we can just renovate it all."

Yang Shuning still wanted to live more comfortably. When he moved in in 55, his mother only renovated the house. The only thing that satisfied him was that there was a toilet, so he didn't have to queue up for public toilets like other people in the courtyard.

"Okay, since you are in charge from now on, you can make your own decisions."

My mother was happy and handed over the power directly.

"Mom, even if I'm the head of the family, you still have to give me advice and help me keep things in check. You are the anchor of the family."

"Go, it will be dark if you don't go."

Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Shuning took two bottles of Maotai given by Aunt Lin, got on his bicycle and went to find his fiancée.
