Chapter 73: Have you read the box that grandma gave you?
Little Minghui started learning early, and now he speaks more and more fluently. Pei Jin is often unable to cope with him.

Pei Jin caught the man and reasoned with him.

"Come on, come on, tell me yourself, if your uncle hadn't held you back just now, and you had just rushed over, would your aunt have been able to catch you?"

"I..." Minghui was unconvinced.

Pei Jin continued: "Your aunt can't catch you. What if you get knocked down? What if you hit something? Look at the ground yourself. Are they all stones?"

Minghui fell silent for a moment.

As a strong man who could once knock down such a big guy as his uncle, Minghui was very proud of his strength. He thought that his aunt was so thin and small, and she would definitely be easily knocked away by him.

Little Minghui glanced at his aunt guiltily and said, "Aunt, Minghui knows he was wrong. Don't be afraid. Minghui will be more careful next time."

After saying that, he released his hands that were covering his buttocks and looked at his biological father with a fearless attitude.

"Go ahead and hit me. I won't hide anymore!"

puff--

Ahahahaha!
Everyone laughed again, but little Minghui didn't understand and looked bewildered.

Lingxi's eyes were full of smiles as she praised: "Our Minghui is a sensible and good child. Auntie is not angry. Auntie likes Minghui the most."

Pei Jin was also amused by Minghui's appearance. He patted Minghui twice gently, lifted him up to his neck with a little force.

Minghui, who could suddenly ride a horse: "..."

Minghui was confused, not understanding why he could ride a horse even though he had done something wrong. But it didn't bother him at all. He cheered and urged his father to hurry up, not forgetting to wave to his aunt.

Lingxi smiled even more happily.

Suddenly, an ambiguous question came to my ear.

"You like Minghui the most?"

Lingxi: “…”

!!!

"If not my fourth brother and dad, who else do I like the most?" Gu Si's tone was normal, as if nothing was different.

Lingxi shrank her neck guiltily.

"I like the third brother the most, too!" Pei Xuan also joined in the fun from the side.

Lingxi: “…”

!!!

Gu Si ruffled her fluffy and soft hair in annoyance and snorted, "Little liar."

Pei Xuan quite agreed with this, but even though he knew that Gu Si was teasing Lingxi, he still changed the subject to help Lingxi out.

"In a few days, the hunting team in the village will go into the mountains. Will you go?"

After the autumn harvest, the villagers rest for a while, and then it is time for the hunting team to go into the mountains.

The men in Peijia Village all have some martial arts skills, so they always get a lot of rewards when they go hunting in the mountains. They usually don't encounter large packs of wolves or wild boars and get surrounded by them, so the safety factor is still very high.

Therefore, villagers often bring the young people in their families into the mountains with them, just to gain some experience.

Gu Si looked at Lingxi. Lingxi thought about it carefully and asked about the direction the hunting team was going. Knowing that it was not far from where Pei Yanning and the others were, she felt a little tempted.

Gu Si saw Lingxi’s thoughts at a glance.

"I'll take Lingxi with me, but we won't participate in the distribution."

He coughed and said, "I can't carry it on my shoulders or lift it with my hands, and Lingxi is also weak, so the two of us can just go with them and see the world."

Pei Xuan: “…”

Pei Xuan had nothing to say.

But after thinking about it, I think this is okay.

Although it was normal to bring Gu Si and Ling Xi along in Peijia Village, the hunting team could earn a lot of money every year, so it was inevitable that some people would be short-sighted and make Ling Xi unhappy. Gu Si was not really short of money, but during the period before and after the autumn harvest, they all went to work, and he and Ling Xi got a lot of things in the mountains, and they sold them.

Lingxi has even less need, because all her uncle's money is hers.

For that little bit, there is no need——

While the three of them were talking, they arrived home. The whole yard was filled with the aroma of braised pork. Lingxi smiled instantly and ran over to hug the old lady's arm and acted coquettishly.

"Grandma, you made me braised pork!

Grandma, you are the best. I was not at home these days. Did you miss me? "

Gu Si glanced at Lingxi with a half-smile, and almost said "liar" again.

Lingxi turned her head subconsciously and only saw the back of her fourth brother. She saw that her fourth brother was called away to talk by Uncle Pei. She retracted her gaze and talked to her grandmother with a smile.

When the old lady saw Lingxi, she looked her up and down. Seeing that she looked good, she asked her about her condition over the past few days.

Whether the people in the Gu family are easy to get along with, whether there is anything missing at home, whether things are easy to use and so on.

Lingxi smiled and answered each question carefully.

When the old lady heard that she had been married for three days and had not even asked for a meal, she instantly became happy. Suddenly she thought of something and asked Lingxi in a low voice, sounding mysterious.

"Have you read the box that grandma gave you?"

Lingxi felt guilty for a moment.

Only then did she remember that on the night before her wedding, the old lady had indeed stuffed a small box into her dowry box.

Lingxi had too much dowry, so she didn't move at all.

The old lady knew at a glance that she hadn't seen it yet, so she poked her head and said, "Grandma gave you a good thing, so don't let Old Four do whatever he wants, do you hear me?"

Lingxi let out a cry.

She subconsciously thought of what Pei Bok Joo said, about watching out and not letting people get involved in speculation.

She could have said nothing in front of Pei Bok Joo, but in front of the old lady, she didn't want her to misunderstand her fourth brother at all.

She explained: "Fourth brother is a very good person. He is with me almost all the time now and rarely goes out. Wherever he goes, he will ask me if I want to go with him. Don't worry, grandma."

The old lady had no idea what she was talking about.

"Okay, okay, your fourth brother is the best.

As long as Ling Xier is happy.

Oh, old woman, you talk too much and become annoying! "After all, she just got married, she's still clingy.

"Milk……"

The old lady blushed when she saw Lingxi talking, and she clapped Lingxi's hands and laughed even more happily.

Gu Si and Lingxi stayed at Old Pei's house until it was almost dark and went back after having dinner. As soon as they got home, Gu Si saw Lingxi rummaging through her dowry box and taking out items one by one.

After searching one box and finding nothing, she went to search another one.

After boiling the water and calling Lingxi to take a bath, Gu Si asked casually.

"What are you looking for?"

There was nothing to hide, Lingxi told the truth.

Knowing that it was stuffed in the night before the wedding, Gu Si vaguely guessed what it was. He ruffled Lingxi's hair and said, "It's late at night, you can't see it clearly even if you find it.

Go take a shower first, and leave your things here and look for them tomorrow. They won’t be lost, right?”

Lingxi thought about it and it made sense, but she didn't know that as soon as she left, Gu Si opened the box and found the red lacquered wooden box. The wooden box was not locked, so he opened it and, as expected, saw an X-album wrapped in cloth that looked quite old.

Gu Si's expression paused and hesitantly opened it.
