Zhao Ruyue's daughter cut off contact after going abroad, and she never got to see her one last time before she died. Her son was silent and resentful, blaming her for everything.
Zhao Ru...
Chapter 25 Chapter 25 You’re not really going to give her gold, are you? …
Zhao Ruyue recalled that when they separated in the previous life, Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia liked the empty residential land more!
However, it was several years later that they separated in their previous life.
Their family did manage to secure a house facing the street, but by that time, the Ning family's current old brick house had already been demolished and rebuilt.
When the country folks build houses, it's hard to say whether they have aesthetic tastes or not. They just build their houses the same way as the people around them do and in the same style, without ever thinking of doing anything different.
This is the case in rural areas. The environment is not very tolerant of things that are different from others. Being unique will only become a joke and a topic of conversation among others.
And even if someone really doesn't care about other people's opinions and wants to build it like a villa in the city, it is difficult to find a suitable construction team.
The construction teams in the countryside are just acquaintances such as neighbors and relatives. If you ask them to do something different, they won’t know how to do it. They will also think it’s too much trouble and will come to persuade you not to do it.
Unless you are really rich and willing to pay no attention to the cost, you can hire a construction team from the city to do it.
In their previous life, the new houses they built were just like most of their neighbors, with buildings closely connected to each other, especially like some of the newly built urban village buildings in Pengcheng.
In order to create two more rooms, the front yard, back yard and the patio in the middle were all gone.
In order to save money, we share a wall with my sister-in-law's house next door, but the sound insulation effect is really poor.
Neighbors live too close to each other, so if there is something happening at home, don't try to hide it from them.
The two children in the family have said more than once that they envy a classmate who has a yard and is some distance away from the neighbors, so it is very quiet and parking is very convenient.
On the other hand, the street where the old house is located had less strict building regulations at that time. Every family wanted to secretly occupy more land when building a house. As a result, a good street was almost squeezed into an alley.
Zhao Ruyue made up her mind to test the two children's opinions after returning.
Let’s see if their choices would be the same as in their previous life if they split up early.
With an idea in mind, she put those things aside for the time being and followed Ning Shaoming's words to discuss with him what to buy when she got home.
"I need to think about other things. Skateboards and bicycles are much cheaper here. We can buy some and bring them back. With the money saved, we can take our two children to the county town for a trip. We can just take them to play and not worry about anything else. Let them play to their heart's content! If we buy bicycles in the county town, it will be inconvenient to carry them with us."
"This is a good idea, you are so smart!" Ning Shaoming praised his wife generously, "I never thought of doing this, the children will definitely be very happy then!"
Zhao Ruyue was so amused by his praise that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Was this guy treating her like a child?
"Okay, you have to go to work tomorrow, go to bed."
After a dreamless night, Ning Shaoming went to work early in the morning.
Zhao Ruyue slowly packed her things at home and placed the things she was going to take back with her in the room where they were currently living.
All the things that could not be taken back or did not plan to be taken back were taken out and placed in the living room, allowing Wu Li and her husband to choose first, and the rest would be given away in a few days.
You don't know until you clean up. Once you clean up, you will understand what it means to have a broken home worth a fortune.
I've only been here for a year, but they already have so much stuff.
When they first arrived at the beginning of the year, they were always worried that they would be short of something. Relying on their strong bodies, the two of them gritted their teeth and carried all their belongings with them, carrying all kinds of things in large and small bags as if they were fleeing.
The stuff took up too much space in the luggage storage area of the car, and the driver rolled his eyes and mocked me.
Zhao Ruyue calculated the time it would take her to return, and found that by then her body would not be able to recover to the state it was before the injury.
She definitely couldn't take back the things she carried when she came, not to mention that she had to buy a lot of things to take back.
Zhao Ruyue didn't plan to carry back the blankets, mattresses, thick quilts, four-piece sets, pillows and other items that were large and difficult to carry.
Most of those were from her dowry and were of very good quality.
Her parents gave her a lot of dowry, and even after several years of marriage, there are still some things she hasn't opened or used.
When she came to Pengcheng, she specifically picked out the unused part and brought it with her. In total, she used it for less than a year.
But Zhao Ruyue no longer feels reluctant now.
I have used them once in my previous life, and I still have them at home. There is no need to force myself to do these things and put pressure on my body which has not yet recovered.
Zhao Ruyue was sorting the things busy when someone suddenly knocked on the door, which startled her.
After what happened with Lu Qiuying, she now has a psychological trauma about the sound of knocking on the door.
He took a moment to get up and see who it was.
She walked to the door, opened it and saw a very young girl who looked even younger than the landlord's granddaughter.
Zhao Ruyue looked at the girl and felt that she looked familiar, but she couldn't remember her name. She must be from the same hometown as her.
But she couldn't remember his name, so she didn't need to address him. She asked calmly through the door, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
The girl knew what Zhao Ruyue had been through recently and didn't mind that she didn't open the outer iron door.
She stuffed a small black plastic bag between the two iron bars of the iron gate and placed it in the gap between the iron gate.
She also put a big bag of fruit at the door: "Sister, you helped me a lot, these are my little gifts, please accept them!"
The little girl finished her words quickly, put down her things and ran away. Zhao Ruyue was completely confused by what she said. Before she could react, she had already disappeared.
Not knowing what was going on, she didn't dare to rush out and had to take the things into the house first.
Zhao Ruyue closed the door, walked into the living room and sat down, then opened the small black plastic bag that the little girl had stuffed on the door.
There was actually a palm-sized red velvet bag with a gold drawstring inside. She had only seen this kind of bag in jewelry shops before.
Zhao Ruyue thought, no way, this unfamiliar fellow villager would really give me gold, right?
She felt through the bag and felt the contents, feeling two small circles.
When I opened the bag and poured it out, I found that it was actually a pair of plain gold hoop earrings!
"This, this, this..." Zhao Ruyue widened her eyes and looked at the gold earrings that were poured into the palm of her hand.
She simply couldn't imagine what kind of help she had done to that little girl that would earn her such an expensive gift.
Without understanding the details, Zhao Ruyue felt that the gold earrings were very hot when she held them.
After receiving the gift, Zhao Ruyue couldn't concentrate on organizing her things and kept distracting herself by trying to think about who that little girl was.
But I really can't think of it, I can only roughly circle out a range.
First of all, they must be from the same hometown. Secondly, there should be no elders around the girl. It is very likely that she came out to work with her familiar sisters, otherwise the elders would not let her, a little girl, come alone.
However, she narrowed it down, but still couldn't guess who it was.
Zhao Ruyue didn't dare let anyone else know that she had received the gold earrings. She could only wait for Ning Shaoming to come back in the evening and tell him quietly.
Ning Shaoming was not like Zhao Ruyue, whose memory was separated from the present by several decades. After she described the girl's appearance, Ning Shaoming immediately guessed who she was.
"From your description, she should be the eldest daughter of Old Fan, the one who lived at the dock and married a powerful wife for the second time. Her name seems to be Fan Xiaorong. I remember that Old Fan's eldest daughter was born to his ex-wife."
Before Ning Shaoming came to Pengcheng, he worked in a brick factory near the dock. Lao Fan was his former co-worker:
“I don’t have a very good relationship with Lao Fan, but he is the same age as my eldest brother, so we can be considered childhood friends and we often hang out together.
The pier is a bit far from our home two streets away, and I heard that Lao Fan’s eldest daughter seldom goes out, so if you think she looks familiar, it may be because you have never dealt with her, but you have occasionally seen her when you go shopping. ”
In their small place, a quarrel between husband and wife can make headlines, let alone something as big as divorce.
Ning Shaoming mentioned his co-worker Lao Fan, who lived near the dock and worked in a brick factory.
Zhao Ruyue immediately remembered: "Isn't that the one whose divorce caused such a stir back then? I didn't expect that she was his eldest daughter. This girl is really pitiful."
