Li Xiangqian directly deposited 260,000 yuan, left 10,000 yuan in WeChat, and then left another 10,000 yuan in cash to buy medicine and supplements for his mother, and also paid the rent that had been delayed for half a year.
After coming out of the bank, Li rewrapped the reserved 10,000 yuan in a plastic bag, and then went to the drugstore to buy some medicine to treat stomach pain.
I also bought a wooden comb and braised pork, paid half a year's rent to the landlord downstairs, and then quickly returned home.
Of course, he was afraid that his mother would discover the flaw, so he rubbed his face to cheer up, then knocked on the door and entered the house.
Mom has already made lunch and is waiting for Li Xiangqian.
"Mom, look what I bought you."
Li Qianqian smiled and handed the wooden comb to his mother.
His mother's name is Tan Ruoxi. She is forty-nine years old. Although she is not too old, her long and thick hair already has a lot of black hair.
It is no lie to say that Tan Ruoxi was really beautiful when she was young. Li Xiangqian once saw it in one of his mother's notebooks. His mother's eyebrows were curved and white, and she was so radiant.
It's a pity that time is not forgiving. Coupled with the inner torture she has suffered for so many years, as well as confinement syndrome and illness, this young lady from an aristocratic family who was famous throughout southern Sichuan twenty-five years ago has become older and older.
.
Li Xiangqian's mother took the comb her son bought. Although she was a little emotional and moved, she immediately showed a solemn expression after being moved.
"Pingping, where did you go this morning?"
Pingping is Li Xiangqian's nickname. Tan Ruoxi has only one wish in her lifetime. She hopes that the only seedling of the Li family can grow up smoothly, get married soon, spread branches and leaves of the Li family, and continue the bloodline of the Li family.
Seeing that his mother was a little unhappy, Li Xiangqian burst into laughter.
"Mom, I didn't go anywhere. I went to play with Zhifei."
"You are still lying, Zhifei has come to see you today!"
Seeing that the secret was about to be revealed, Li Xiangqian immediately calmed down.
"Mom, please listen to me. I went to find Zhifei, but Zhifei was not at home. Later, after Zhifei came out of our house, he called me again, and we went outside together."
Li Xiangqian thought that everything would be fine now, but his mother, Tan Ruoxi, was so angry that she slammed the table.
"You are still lying. Zhifei has been waiting for you to come back at home. He just left. How did you meet? To be honest, where did you go this morning?"
Hearing what his mother said, Li Xiangqian almost vomited blood. This Ma Zhifei didn't come early or late, but he came when he went to gamble on stones, and found that he was not there, and still sat at home waiting for him. You have no tacit understanding.
Already.
How much do you think I die too slowly?
Li Xiangqian never wanted to make his mother angry. Seeing that his mother looked solemn and her hands were covering her chest, Li Xiangqian had no choice but to attack her.
As a result, Tan Ruoxi became more and more sad and angry as she thought about it, and she even hid her face and went back to the room.
Li Xiangqian knew what his mother was doing.
He also followed slowly.
I knocked on the door, and sure enough my mother was kneeling in the room.
There are three portraits in front of him, namely those of Li Xiangqian's great-grandfather, grandpa, and his father.
"Kneel down!"
Mom's voice is slightly hoarse, but this is a language that does not require momentum, but can directly kill people.
Li Qianqian knelt down directly.
"Open your palms!"
Li Xiangqian was left-handed, and he used his left hand to touch stones, so he stretched out his right hand very familiarly.
"Extend your left hand!"
Li Xiangqian's heart skipped a beat. Even though he didn't want to, he still stretched out his left hand.
Bang bang bang...
Mom Tan Ruoxi held a ruler passed down from her family, which was said to be Li Xiangqian's grandfather. He used it to teach his father and several uncles.
Later, it was passed to Li Qingshan, Li Qianqian's father, who used it to beat Li Qianqian's brother who was burned to death in the fire.
It's just that before Li Xiangqian was born, his father was struck to death by lightning inexplicably, so he was not beaten to death by his father, but was taught a few lessons by his mother, Tan Ruoxi.
Tan Ruoxi hates the fact that iron cannot become steel, and of course she feels a little distressed.
She knew that it was her fault. If she had not been ill and the family had not been so poor, her son, who had always been sensible, would never have disobeyed her order and secretly gambled on stones.
But her order cannot be changed. For the safety of her son and the inheritance of the Wan family's bloodline, this rule has to be struck.
After Tan Ruoxi beat Li Xiangqian, she made him kneel facing the wall for half an hour, thinking about his faults, and then let his son go to eat.
As a result, as soon as Li Xiangqian stood up, he suddenly realized that the pepper-shaped pendant he was wearing around his neck was missing.
Li Xiangqian thought for a while and realized that he must have accidentally dropped it when he was fighting with the two old Burmese just now.
Something bad happened. I remember my mother said that this pendant is an heirloom of the Li family and a talisman that can ensure safety. It must not be thrown away.
We must go back and look for it quickly, and we must not let my mother know, otherwise we will lose the family heirloom, which will be a shame to the ancestors of the Li family and to my mother.
Li Xiangqian said hello to his mother, saying that Ma Zhifei was looking for him, and ran out directly.
This time he learned the lesson well and called Ma Zhifei out as soon as he went out. Besides, it is easier to do things when there are more people. With one more person, the search can be done faster.
Ma Zhifei was very happy. When he heard Li Qianqian calling him, he followed Li Qianqian before finishing his meal.
The two of them went straight to the rough jadeite market, and ran to the place where Li Xiangqian had fought with the two old Burmese more than an hour ago. As a result, they looked around and couldn't see the lost pendant.
It must have been picked up by someone.
I just don’t know who picked it up.
Li Xiangqian immediately fell into deep thought.
To be honest, the color of this family heirloom pepper-shaped pendant is really average, and the cotton on it is cracked, and the grain is very rough. Even if it were sold in the market, it would cost no more than two hundred yuan at most.
But he didn't understand why his mother kept telling him that it was an heirloom of the Li family for such an ordinary piece of material.
Later, Li Xiangqian thought he had figured it out. It must be that his mother didn't know much about jade, so she mistakenly took the pepper-shaped pendant as a treasure.
But as a son, it was hard for him to tell him off, so he always carried it with him as a treasure.
Although it was not valuable, Li Xiangqian knew that this jade pendant must not be thrown away.
Must find it.
While Li Xiangqian was still wondering about the whereabouts of the pendant, Ma Zhifei slowly came over.
"Ping Ping, you come here to hunt for treasures, and you even fight with Lao Mian, and you don't even call me, you are really funny."
"Stop talking and look for it again. That pendant is a treasure. If you lose it, my mother will kill me."
"I've searched for it three times. Even if it fell here, it must have been picked up by someone else. Apart from these two old Burmese, did you see anyone else during the fight?"
When Ma Zhifei said this, Li Xiangqian suddenly remembered that when he was fighting with the two old Burmese, wasn't Yao Xuewei by the side?
Maybe Yao Xuewei has seen it.
After all, this thing is so important that you should try it at any chance.
Li Xiangqian had no choice but to tell Ma Zhifei on the side why he was fighting with Lao Mian.
"Okay Pingping, you've been picking up girls all this time, no wonder you have to call me, come on, take off your pants and let me see if you are still an innocent little virgin."
After Ma Zhifei finished speaking, he actually started to take off Li Xiangqian's pants.
"A Fei, don't make trouble. This is the first time that Yao Xuewei and I met. It was because Lao Mian wanted to tease her that I took action. How can I pick up girls? I said, "Don't be slanderous."
Hearing Li Xiangqian say that the woman's name was Yao Xuewei, Ma Zhifei immediately frowned.
"Pingping, this woman's name is Yao Xuewei? What does she look like?"
This is really difficult for Li Xiangqian. How can I describe it?
"A Fei, this woman has a pair of eyes, long hair, and is wearing a skirt."
Seeing Li Xiangqian describe it like this, Ma Zhifei immediately rolled his eyes at him.
"Ping Ping, you didn't tell me which woman doesn't have eyes or long hair? It's summer now, and it's hot in Heyang. Which woman doesn't wear a skirt? I want to ask about this woman's career path.
