Chapter 042: Treasure

Hidden Although Hu Qiaoyue doesn't express her emotions or anger, no one will feel good about her own son being so heartless and unjust. Lin Siwei couldn't just leave.

After helping Hu Qiaoyue upstairs, the room was already dark.

Lin Siwei turned on the light and realized that Hu Qiaoyue's face was as pale as paper and her eyes were slightly lowered.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay."

He said it was okay, but his lips were trembling. He held Lin Siwei's hand with extra force, and a few fingers formed a sharp angle.

The chair is still by the window. When they went downstairs, there was still a ray of sunset shining slantingly. In just ten minutes, the afterglow had disappeared, and the night wind poured in through the windows, giving people a chill.

Hu Qiaoyue sat back on the chair, and Lin Siwei closed the window and fastened the buckle, shutting out all the hustle and bustle outside the window.

She poured a glass of water and brought it over: "It's a little hot, I'll drink it later."

Hu Qiaoyue took it, held it in her hand and rubbed it, gradually allowing herself to recover.

"Fortunately, you were brought up by Su Hongmei and your belt is not crooked." Hu Qiaoyue sighed softly and took a sip of water slowly.

Lin Siwei couldn't bear to hear it, knowing that grandma was blaming herself.

But life is full of life, and family education and social education are indispensable. It is difficult to say why Lin Zhengqing became like this.

Lin Siwei relaxed his tone: "Grandma, do you know what my mother looks like?"

Hu Qiaoyue knew that the child was changing the subject, so she followed suit: "I've never seen it. Your father didn't contact me at that time, and he only wanted to Cut off the relationship with me. I didn’t know about his marriage until later.”

“I have their wedding photos at school. I’ll show them to you later. My mother is so beautiful.

” You are also good-looking. You must look like your mother."

Lin Siwei smiled: "Grandma, you are a poor-looking child. I am not as good-looking as my mother."

"I only know that after looking at the photo. That's not true. Anyway, I think our Siwei is good-looking."

The atmosphere finally became lighter, and Lin Siwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, just now she was really afraid that her grandma would not be able to recover after lifting it in one breath, which would make her feel sick.

It was completely dark, and Hu Qiaoyue was worried about Lin Siwei returning to school, so she asked her to stay here and go back to school early the next morning.

Lin Siwei thought for a while and agreed happily as there were no classes scheduled for the first class tomorrow morning.

The two of them heated up the leftover lunch and ate it, and Hu Qiaoyue asked Lin Siwei to go get the quilt from the cupboard.

There is no second bed in this house, but there is still a second quilt.

"Grandma, your cabinet is so beautiful." Lin Siwei said as he opened the cabinet door.

Hu Qiaoyue chuckled softly: "Heh, are you trying to trick me, or do you really know the goods?"

Lin Siwei took out the quilt and threw it on the bed. He turned around and looked at the wardrobe carefully: "Although it looks old, it is made of good wood. This cabinet door There are six paintings carved up and down, which should be six stories, but I can't understand what the stories are."

He pointed to the decoration on the wood carving: "Is this a piece of mica inlaid? This should be a coral bead..."

"You. You really understand!" Hu Qiaoyue was surprised, "Who taught you?"

Of course it was Lin Siwei's knowledge from later generations, but she couldn't say it now.

"My uncle is a carpenter. I went to my aunt's house during the holidays. I heard him talk about some old furniture. The ones that can be inlaid with these are all expensive goods from the past."

Hu Qiaoyue got up and walked slowly to the wardrobe, stroking the mica pieces on it. His eyes sparkled: "These things used to be nothing in my house, but then they were all confiscated."

"Why is this cabinet left?" Lin Siwei was curious.

Hu Qiaoyue shook her head gently, half smiling and half sighing: "Because it was originally here. No. 260 to 295 Yangchuan Road now were all the houses of my Hu family. They left an attic for me. The attic There was this cabinet on top, and everything in it was taken away. This wardrobe looked old and shabby, but no one wanted it, so I was lucky enough to keep it. "

It turns out that the Hu family was once so wealthy. But wealth is not allowed in special years. Lin Siwei sighed inwardly at his grandma's strength. It is not easy for people who have been rich to maintain their character even when they have plummeted.

"It's a good thing they don't know the goods." Lin Siwei spat softly, "Grandma, you have to keep this thing, and you have to take it with you when you move in the future."

"What, you like it?"

Who doesn't like valuable things. But Lin Siwei's love was not because she wanted to keep it for herself, but because she was afraid of wasting her natural resources.

"This wardrobe is the only souvenir left by grandma's ancestral home, so keep it well."

Hu Qiaoyue's eyes flashed but she didn't speak. After a moment, she opened the small drawer inside the wardrobe and took out a square object. , wrapped in handkerchief.

"This is our household registration book. It needs to be moved to another place."

Lin Siwei understood. Lin Zhengqing must have seen it when he came back to get his household registration book. Hu Qiaoyue was afraid that he would use some means while she was unprepared. She would be alone at home and couldn't stop him, so she had to move to a place where he couldn't find him.

"Where to put it?" Lin Siwei looked around.

This room is only about ten square meters, with a wardrobe, a chest of drawers, a bed, a set of tables and chairs, and two square stools stacked together.

"Looking for a drawer in the chest of drawers?" Lin Siwei asked.

Hu Qiaoyue looked towards the south wall of the wardrobe: "There is a hidden compartment on top, which I can't reach."

"Secret compartment?" Lin Siwei moved a square stool and climbed up without hesitation.

Looking all the way to the top of the cabinet, Lin Siwei finally discovered the mystery. There is an inconspicuous protrusion on the top of the cabinet. With a strong push, a foot-long drawer is pulled out.

The drawer fits perfectly with the side board, and you can't tell unless you look carefully. It was Lin Siwei who pulled out the drawer and discovered that the tops of the inside and outside of the cabinet were indeed not at the same height, creating a mezzanine.

As expected, rich families have scheming intentions, and their treasures are hidden in unexpected places.

Hu Qiaoyue had already found a flat iron box, carefully put the household registration book in it, and handed it to Lin Siwei.

"Just put it there. No one would think of it." Hu Qiaoyue was extremely satisfied.

"But grandma, you can't take it if you want to use it."

"I don't want to use it. If anyone asks me, they will say that you lost it."

Lin Siwei laughed out loud, unknowingly becoming the scapegoat.

…

This night, the grandfather and grandson slept particularly soundly.

Turning off the lights at night, Hu Qiaoyue said softly: "For many years, I have been the only one sleeping in this room. I don't even know if I was snoring."

The next morning, Lin Siwei announced that not only did grandma not snore, but she also slept She looks very elegant. In comparison, sleeping by herself is like practicing martial arts.

Hu Qiaoyue was so amused by her that she giggled and didn't even get up at night even saying that Siwei was the best at sleeping and grandma slept very well at night.

Before going to school, Lin Siwei helped Hu Qiaoyue clean the spittoon.

I feel bad when I brush it. In the past, grandma was the only one at home. She didn't have to go downstairs at other times, but the spittoon had to fall down. It was not easy for her to hold the wall up and down by herself.

This house is very unfit for old people to live in.

If it can be demolished, it will indeed be a good thing for Hu Qiaoyue. The premise is that she can live in a new house.
