Before leaving, Feng Yanhong told Li Boshan that she put one hundred yuan in each of the two sets of clothes her mother made for him, and asked him to take out the money before cleaning the clothes.
Li Boshan agreed, dumbfounded. No wonder she didn't let her bring those two sets of clothes with her when she went to school yesterday.
Feng Yanhong was extremely nervous when she got on the train with a gold bar in her pocket. She was afraid that someone would steal it, so she didn't dare to sleep at night.
I wasn't as lucky as I was when I came here. I didn't have to make up a sleeper berth all the way. Fortunately, there were seats. I waited until one or two stops in the carriage where there were few people, and I dared to lie on the table and stare for a while. I didn't dare to fall asleep at all.
.
After finally getting to Yincheng Station, Feng Yanhong still didn't dare to be careless. She took the bus back to the farm and went straight to the store before she dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Sister, you're back, you...why are the circles under your eyes so green? Didn't you sleep?"
"Forget it, give me a bowl of mung bean soup."
Now she just wants to go home and have a good sleep!
When Feng Yanjun saw this, she didn't ask any more questions and hurriedly served mung bean soup. Feng Yanhong drank two large bowls to relieve the heat.
"What's wrong with you?" Feng Yanjun became more and more worried the more he looked at his sister's miserable state. Seeing her put down the bowl, she asked worriedly again.
"It's okay. I didn't buy a sleeper berth when I came back. I couldn't sleep well in the car because I was tired and hot."
"Is there nothing going on in the store these days? If we're tired, we'll close the store for the day."
Feng Yanjun looked at her suspiciously, feeling that the matter was not as easy as she said.
"No, we won't be open for a few more days anyway. We'll rest after the store is moved."
"If you are tired, just rest at home for two days. I can do it alone."
He is now so good at doing these tasks that he can do it alone.
"I'll come over tomorrow. I'll go home and take a nap later."
It was agreed that it was a business between two people. She was already very embarrassed when she was away for five days. Now that she was back, she couldn't be lazy anymore. When the accounts were divided this month, she should give Yanjun an extra share.
She was not going to tell Yanjun about the gold bars. At Yanjun's age, he was not old enough to deal with the matter. If this matter leaked out, it would definitely bring trouble to the family.
Maybe it would also affect the Li family, who had been living a very low-key life for so many years. If something went wrong because of this matter, she would have no shame in seeing Li Boshan again.
After Feng Yanhong hurried home, her parents hadn't come back yet. She nestled in her hut and fell asleep almost instantly.
She didn't wake up until it got dark. The lights outside the house were on. Bai Xiu sat under the lights, holding the soles of her shoes. When she heard the noise, she raised her head and glanced at Feng Yanhong.
"Your father has left some food for you in the kitchen. Go and heat it yourself."
"good......"
Feng Yanhong touched the gold bars in her pocket. She wanted to speak but was afraid to speak. She was afraid of scaring her mother, so she had better wait until her father came back.
When Feng Taizhou came in, Feng Yanhong had already eaten the last bite of steamed buns, finished porridge in the bowl, quickly went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and then hurried back to the house.
Feng Yanhong's hurried look shocked both Feng Taizhou and Bai Xiu.
"What's going on?"
"Well, I have something to say. Don't be frightened or excited later..."
Feng Yanhong closed the door, and as soon as she walked to the table, Bai Xiu jumped up from the chair.
"Are you pregnant? You are too..."
The moment Feng Yanhong was about to open her mouth, she almost choked herself to death. Her heart jumped twice, and her eyelids and brows were beating erratically.
"What are you talking about? You scared the child."
Feng Taizhou was also so frightened by Bai Xiu's words that he almost poured a jar of water on himself.
"Where can I get pregnant? I'm not married yet..."
Feng Yanhong's mouth opened and closed, and after she uttered a sentence, her whole body started to burn.
"Oh, then it's okay." Bai Xiu seemed to be relieved and patted his chest.
Feng Taizhou stepped forward, pushed Bai Xiu down on the chair, and spoke kindly to Feng Yanhong.
"Yanhong, what happened?"
"I went into the city this time, and the elder of the Li family, Brother Boshan's second grandfather, gave me a meeting gift."
As he spoke, he took out the brocade bag from his pocket.
"Meeting gift? Then keep it... uh..."
Halfway through what Bai Xiu said, his eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the thumb that Feng Yanhong took out, a golden thing.
"This, how can we accept this? This thing is too..." Bai Xiu was a little confused. He looked at Feng Taizhou and then at Feng Yanhong, and the words in his mouth were too vague to speak clearly.
"What does Bo Shan mean?" Feng Taizhou patted his wife on the shoulder.
"He said that the greeting gift must be continued, and he wouldn't let me return it, but this thing is too expensive, I..."
Feng Yanhong bit her lip and looked at the gold bars in her hand. She didn't know the price of gold in this era, but she had never seen any daughter-in-law from the farm wearing gold jewelry.
The current price of gold is 50 yuan per gram. This is a gold bar, at least about 100 grams, so it would cost 5,000 yuan. If the price is a few decades later, it will be no joke.
"Why don't you, Dad, accompany me to ask Uncle Li what he means? Second Grandpa is old after all. If this is left for the family, then I can't accept it at all."
"Yes! Yes! Yes! We can't be greedy for things that are not ours." Bai Xiu nodded vigorously, fully agreeing with Feng Yanhong's words.
Feng Taizhou also nodded. What Yanhong said made sense. Everyone knew what was going on in his family. With such a gold bar, his third son's illness would not have to worry about for the time being.
The father and daughter went to Li's house with flashlights, but Li Zhong was not at home. Ji Shuying took the two sons out, and Feng Yanhong took out the gold bars.
"Hey, this old man really hasn't ruined his family's fortune? I thought he had ruined everything eight lifetimes ago."
Hearing this, the father and daughter took a deep breath.
"Just keep it as a greeting gift. There are not many people who can make the old man spit out something."
Ji Shuying put the gold bars back into the brocade bag and placed them in Feng Yanhong's palm.
"Aunt Ji, but..."
"Don't worry, the family is not short of money, and the third child's illness is not a problem that money can solve. Aunt Ji has kept your thoughts in mind. He is such a good boy. The more I look at him, the more I like him."
Ji Shuying stroked Feng Yanhong's braid, with real joy in her eyes.
"The house procedures have been approved and the farm has been approved. Construction will start in September. The foundation will be painted tomorrow. Come and take a look."
After coming out of Li's house, the father and daughter didn't talk to each other all the way, and they were very nervous.
