Chapter 29 The old lady is crazy

Lingxi let out a cry.

"Grandma, I also brought you some delicious food. We all wanted to go together!" She turned around and found that the backpack was still in her room, so she went out to get it.

The old lady quickly grabbed the man and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, let's take this first."

The old lady pointed to two exquisitely crafted, brand new camphor wood carved wooden suitcases, one large and two small, that she had taken out in advance. She picked up the larger one herself, motioned Lingxi to take the smaller one, and then left.

"Grandma, is this the box you made for me?

It’s really beautifully done.”

The old lady smiled and said, "Your second uncle asked an old craftsman to make it for you. When our Ling Xier gets married, she will use it as her dowry. This will look decent."

Lingxi blushed a little: "Mother..."

She hugged the old lady's arm and acted coquettishly, her blushing face showing that she was shy.

The old lady didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What's there to be shy about? In the past, when a girl reached the age of marriage, she would start to learn how to manage the land and shops in her dowry.

It’s different now than it was then, but our Ling Xier is already a grown-up girl.

Grandma and your second uncle discussed and gave you what you deserved first, so that you can be confident. No matter who Ling Xier marries, she can continue to live the life you want comfortably. "

Uncle Pei and the others were really scared because Lingxi was in a bad mood some time ago.

No one knew that she was not used to remembering Gu Si for the first time at that time. They just thought that she was uneasy because of Pei Fuzhu's words about whether to get married or not, so they were thinking about how to comfort her.

No matter how much they said, there was nothing tangible that could give her confidence.

That's why I discussed it with the old lady, and this happened today.

Lingxi didn't know this and her face turned even redder.

The old lady took out another key and said, "This is the key to the locked room in your yard.

When your father sent you back, he sent someone to tell you that he might not be able to come back, and that the things in that room were his dowry to you, and that the key was also brought back with him at that time. Your second uncle and I don’t know what’s in there, so we thought that when you grow up, you can see for yourself.”

Dad!
Lingxi was a little dazed.

The father who depended on her for everything in the memory, who would call her baby, who would say that his little princess deserved the best, who wished that everyone knew that she was his treasure, a father who doted on his daughter like his life...

But since he sent her back to the village in 49, there has been no news of her since.

Lingxi felt her eyes suddenly sore after taking the key. She wasn't sure if it was because she could relate to those memories or because of something else. She tried hard not to let her tears fall, and tried to cover up her loss of composure by bending down to look for something in the backpack.

When she turned around again, her eyebrows and eyes were curved again.

The old lady noticed something, but seeing that Ling Xier still didn't want to talk about his father, she didn't continue the previous topic. She smiled and watched Ling Xi get something for her.

Lingxi handed a lunch box that was specially packed outside to the old lady, and then took out things from the backpack that she had brought with her.

In the lunch box was the braised lion head which she specially packed because she thought it tasted delicious.

There were ten meat buns and two pounds of rice cake in the backpack.

"Grandma, this lion's head is delicious. I brought it specially for you. Let's share this bun and rice cake together!"

The town is far from the village, it takes two hours to walk!
The county town is even farther away...

I don’t know when I will go back to town next time.

Therefore, Gu Sicai bought a lot of things and asked Lingxi to store them. The things were stored in Lingxi's storage pendant, and they could always maintain the state they were just put in. However, after today, these things could no longer be taken out.

The old lady smiled and said, "Grandma's Ling Xi'er is so filial. Grandma has never seen anyone more filial than Ling Xi'er."

But when she heard that Lingxi had brought back those old meat buns and rice cakes, she felt heartbroken.

"Ling Xi'er, if you have money, it would be great if I could buy you some more snacks. Everyone at home is in good health, so why do they need to eat these expensive things? These days, grandma has been stewing meat every few days! They don't need any supplements."

She wanted to tell Lingxi to keep it for herself, but at this time of day, it would go bad if not kept by the next day, so she simply didn't say anything.

But she had made up her mind that she would give them a good beating later and make them remember the kindness of Ling Xier.

Lingxi blinked and pulled the old lady's arm and said coquettishly: "Grandma, I didn't buy this!"

"He bought it." Lingxi said shyly, "He left all the money with me!"

old lady:"……"

The old lady was stunned for a moment before she realized who Lingxi was talking about. She didn't take it seriously. How much money could a young man have?

Just to cheer the little girl up!
The best you can get is ten or eight yuan!
Lingxi turned and went to the inner room, took out the wooden box containing money from the secret compartment of the wardrobe, and put all her and fourth brother's money into it from the space.

She ran back holding the wooden box, opened it and showed it to the old lady.

old lady:"……"

!!!

The old lady probably has an idea of ​​how much money Lingxi has.

When her youngest son sent her a remittance slip, he would also give Lingxi some pocket money, ten yuan a month, and he had been giving her that for four or five years. Occasionally, her family would give her a few cents, plus the three or two yuan she earned from selling pheasants and rabbits, and she would occasionally spend some of her own money when she went to town. If she could save three or four hundred yuan, it would be considered a lot.

But in this box, there were a whole dozen big black tens. From the thickness, she estimated that they must weigh at least a thousand.

This does not include all the miscellaneous stuff like money and tickets.

The old lady originally thought that the young man was trying to make Lingxi happy and put ten or eight dollars with Lingxi, which meant that he was sincere to Lingxi.

Besides, how much does it cost to marry a wife these days?
In the countryside, the price is usually 6.6 or 8.8 yuan, and giving more than 10 or 20 yuan is considered high.

After all, if a strong laborer works hard and earns full work points, the dividends he can get at the end of the year is only about twenty yuan!
You also need to buy needles and thread. It’s hard to say whether you will have any left after the whole year.

But now...

Good guy!
The old lady thought she was thick-skinned, but she still felt a little embarrassed.

It's not good for our family to take other people's money like this!

Thinking about how she had eaten more than ten pounds of pork from others for free, and now also the rice cakes and big meat buns, the old lady felt even more guilty.

She looked at her heartless granddaughter and asked, "Do you like me so much?"

Lingxi blinked and said confidently: "He is good-looking, he gave me all the money, and he also said that when he has a baby in the future, he will give it my last name."

Gu Si actually said this. The old Gu family didn't need a son like him, and he himself never thought of himself as Gu Qingbei. When he came into this body, Gu Qingbei was already dead.

Therefore, he sincerely felt that it was a good thing for the child to take the mother's surname.

The old lady was still weighing the first two options, but the last one made her crazy excited.
