Chapter 97

"Okay Jiang Hongwei! You have the nerve to say it! You hide things at the mouth of the mouse hole! You say where did you get the 2000 yuan? Do you have a conscience, you..." Li Jing sat on the head of the bed and scolded all over the sky, the more she scolded, the more angry she became, and the louder she scolded, Jiang Hongwei squatted on the ground obediently, bowing his head and pleading guilty, the question mark in his heart still At the risk, his money is hidden so secretly that his wife hasn't found it for several years, why is it exposed now!
Jiang Ruoyu squatted on the ground side by side with his father to accept the baptism of saliva.For a while, my heart jumped.My father's private money was hidden in the mouse hole, and my mother dug it up. Her passbook was also placed in the mouse hole at home. Will she die in battle?Jiang Ruoyu really wanted to jump up and rush home to see if her passbook was caught, but after all, she was no longer a child, even if she was stupid, she still had a little analytical ability.If her mother caught her, wouldn't she be beaten to death?Now that mom only scolds dad, it means that her private money has not been discovered yet.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Ruoyu calmed down.Then she thought of another question.Mouse holes are usually in relatively hidden places, just like the mouse hole she hid at home, after her parents passed away in her previous life, when their house was moved, she revisited the old place and accidentally found a hole in the corner .At that time, all the furniture in the house was emptied, so it was easier to find out. Before living there for more than ten years, she only knew that there were mice in the house, but she didn't know where the mouse holes were.So when she hid her passbook in this life, she put it in a small jar without hesitation, and stuffed it into the hole in the corner under the bed in her room.Dad should have hidden it very secretly, and the 2000 yuan must have been saved for a long time. If he didn't change places, he should have hidden there for a long time. How could he be arrested all of a sudden?
Jiang Ruoyu was contemplating when Jiang Hongwei next to him was finally irritated by his wife's endless abuse.

"You still have the nerve to say that you even turned over the mouse hole! The mouse passed the mouse hole on its way home, and you passed by too!"

Li Jing was furious: "You still talk back! You hid money from your own house, and you're being ignored! Xiaoyu, you go out, and I'll have a good talk with your father!"

"Yes, Xiao Yu, you go home first, and I will have a good chat with your mother!"

Jiang Ruoyu stood up helplessly. Her parents never let her watch the quarrel. It can be seen that today's storm can't escape, and she can't persuade her.She could only obediently leave the hut and look for her walnuts behind the door.

Hong Liang was selling fish outside at this time, wearing white cotton gloves, deftly opening lumps of saury one by one.Finally finished his busy work, he turned his head and said to Jiang Ruoyu, "Did Xiao Yu eat? We still have the noodles for lunch."

Jiang Ruoyu curled her lips, "I won't eat. My parents are 'talking' inside, so I'll just go home and eat."

Hong Liang felt a little embarrassed, coughed and said, "Well, Xiao Yu, I'm sorry."

"Ah?" Jiang Ruoyu blinked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"Well, I found out that my elder brother hid the private money. I think this is wrong. The husband and wife should be of one mind. How can it be possible to hide the private money? I couldn't help it, so..."

"..."

Jiang Ruoyu was speechless for a while, why did she forget that Hong Liang still had this problem.She didn't even know what to say.

"Xiao Yu?" Hong Liang rubbed his hands anxiously. The husband and wife had helped him so much, and they quarreled because of his words, so he naturally felt uncomfortable.

"It's nothing, don't take it to heart." Jiang Ruoyu waved his hand, although he said that, but he thought of a more important question.Hong Liang has such a "sense of justice", so he must not let him know about his own antique business, otherwise the secret will never be hidden. "Brother Hong, I'm going home first, you sleep and lock the door at night, pay attention to safety."

"Well, be careful on the road, huh? What are you doing with so many walnuts?"

Jiang Ruoyu smiled: "I picked it up for my classmates, and I'll give it to them tomorrow."

"Oh, goodbye then."

"Goodbye."

Hurrying home with walnuts, at this time grandma was playing cards in the activity room for the elderly, and there was no one at home, Jiang Ruoyu went upstairs wheezing, put the walnut bag on the ground, took out the key and opened the door, habitually Listen to the movement in the door next door.There seemed to be yelling and the sound of smashing things.Aunt Xiaolian fell ill again.Jiang Ruoyu shook his head helplessly, and shouted at the door: "Lin Qing, come to do your homework!" Then he picked up the walnuts and entered the house without locking the door.

In less than 3 minutes, Lin Qing pushed the door in with her schoolbag in her arms, and locked the door casually. It can be seen that she is very proficient in business. Jiang Ruoyu raised her head from a pile of walnuts, and saw that Lin Qing had red marks on her face, and immediately became worried. Stand up, "Qingqing, did your aunt hit you?"

Lin Qing lowered her head uncomfortably, pulled a small bench and sat down: "It's okay, my grandma said that she would find a partner for her, but she got irritated and fell ill, and it didn't hurt. Sister Xiaoyu, you got so many walnuts What are you doing?"

Knowing that Lin Qing's self-esteem is strong, this is changing the subject, Jiang Ruoyu can only sigh inwardly, and cooperate with him calmly and say: "Oh, I bought it for someone else." She told this lie several times, and she It's almost true.

"Oh. Then I'll read the book first, and the exam will be the day after tomorrow. Sister Xiao Yu, you should read more." Lin Qing was a little absent-minded, mainly because Jiang Ruoyu always saw his embarrassment, and he felt very embarrassed.

Jiang Ruoyu looked at him, sighed after a while, and lowered his head to compare the walnuts one by one by the light.

The catalpa walnuts she bought today are produced in a large amount in the northeast region, and they are not very rare varieties. Ordinary walnuts can be sold for up to 100 yuan a pair in the market.But if you find a treasured alien, that's another matter.Wenwan walnuts, in the eyes of those who don't understand, may be too small to eat.But in the eyes of collectors, a pair of walnuts can fetch a very high price.

The reason why Jiang Ruoyu rounded up those walnuts was to find a needle in a haystack and find a pair of treasures.Catalpa walnuts can be mainly divided into jujube stones, bullet heads, chicken beaks, duck beaks, etc. The more precious special shapes include doublets, three-edged, four-edged and so on.And Jiang Ruoyu's goal now is to find the twins she wants from this big bag of walnuts.Take "Jujube Pit" as an example, it is useless to find only one, you must pick a pair of twins with similar size and shape to sell for a good price.

Jiang Ruoyu poured the walnuts on the ground, then took out one from the middle, and compared it with nearly 250 other walnuts.An hour later, Jiang Ruoyu's legs were numb from squatting.Did not jump out of a pair.The job is deceptively simple.In fact, the project is huge. There are more than 250 walnuts, let her pick one by one, when will she finish picking.

After tossing until almost six o'clock in the evening, Jiang Ruoyu put away all the walnuts and put them away after seeing that the time was almost up, planning to take them to school tomorrow.It's better to pick slowly at school than to be discovered by my mother at home.But she also has to hurry up, the final exam is the day after tomorrow.In a while, the biological competition in the city will start.The school will not allow students to go there at that time, and where to put her walnuts is really a big problem.

In the evening, my parents came back and made shredded pork noodles. In front of grandma, the two couples showed no signs of arguing at all.This is the advantage of parents. They are unhappy and never let grandma see it.I'm afraid grandma will think too much.After a good night's sleep, Jiang Ruoyu went to school the next day with her precious walnuts.Her arm is still not sharp, and her mother said that it will not recover until the Chinese New Year, and now she has to raise it.Fortunately, with Lin Qing as a coolie, Jiang Ruoyu didn't need to exert much effort, and he would naturally help her bring the walnuts to class.

"Whoa."

A large bag of walnuts was placed on the wooden desk and made a loud noise.Wang Xiao looked up at Jiang Ruoyu, "Walnut?"

"Yeah." Jiang Ruoyu nodded, stuffed her schoolbag into the desk, and moved her chair out, and a big bag of walnuts was placed between her and Wang Xiao's chairs, "I'm going to pick the right one, hey, Last night, I almost picked me as cross-eyed, but I didn’t pick it out, the project is too big.”

Wang Xiao nodded understandingly: "Well, it's very laborious. Now the price of walnuts is falling."

Jiang Ruoyu sighed: "I also know that walnuts are worthless now, but I haven't harvested much recently. At least I saw it in the antique city, so I wanted to try my luck. Hey, I always feel that there is a 'job' to do, so I feel more at ease."

A smile flashed in Wang Xiao's eyes: "Are you short of money?" He was curious whether Jiang Ruoyu did this purely for hobby or to make money.

Jiang Ruoyu lowered her head to pick at the walnuts, and said quietly, "Yes, I'm short of money." Without money, how could she change the fate of her parents?Now that my parents have started selling fish, there is still one year left, can she still make it in time?

Wang Xiao had never seen such a complex expression on Jiang Ruoyu's face before. She narrowed her phoenix eyes, and after a while said calmly, "I'll help you choose."

Jiang Ruoyu raised her head sharply. Based on her knowledge of foxes, this guy is not a helpful person.Why are you showing kindness today, the sun is coming out from the south?
Wang Xiao looked out the window, her voice was still faint: "Be fast, the exam the day after tomorrow will not be released by the school."

"Hmm." Jiang Ruoyu replied, she didn't know this truth at that time, so she was anxious.

"You can let me go."

"what?"

"You come to my house to pick."

"..." Jiang Ruoyu tilted his head and looked at the fox's side face. Did he eat something bad today?Or was his head caught by the door?How could you be so kind?
Wang Xiao looked back at Jiang Ruoyu, said with no expression on her face, "That's it." Then she took out some walnuts, bowed her head and began to pick.

Jiang Ruoyu blinked her big eyes for a long time before digesting the news that the fox wanted to help her.Although she would be happier if Walnut had a place to put her, the attitude of the fox is too strange.Take the wrong medicine, it must be!Otherwise, with his character, if he didn't read her jokes, he would give her face, so why would he be so dedicated?Could it be that he has some conspiracy?
All morning, Jiang Ruoyu and Wang Xiao were honestly picking walnuts on their seats. Now that it was cold, the exercises between classes had stopped, and they didn't even move their place during get out of class time. They stayed up until noon, but they still got nothing.Jiang Ruoyu patted her stiff back and said gratefully: "It's time to eat, I disturbed your sleep today." Usually the fox spends the whole day on the table, but today he stayed up all morning to help her pick walnuts.Jiang Ruoyu was slightly moved in her heart.

"It's okay." Wang Xiao's voice was still flat, without any tone.

"Jiang Ruoyu, someone is looking for you."

"Hey! Here we come!" Jiang Ruoyu responded, waved at Wang Xiao and ran out, waved to Yu Shanshan and that Shuyu who were waiting for her at the door, and then looked around, who is looking for her?
"Jiang Ruoyu, you, hello." A low-pitched boy came from behind, Jiang Ruoyu turned around suddenly, and said in surprise when he saw the square face of the other party: "Li Datou, why are you here?"
