Jiang Yue remembered the box that Grandpa Li had given her.
She took it out of the green canvas bag.
Jiang Yue examined the box; the outer layer was very thin. Upon opening it, she saw another box inside, exquisitely carved with dragons, phoenixes, and other motifs. Looking at this box, Jiang Yue felt it was worth a considerable sum. Made of Phoebe zhennan wood, she estimated that in a few decades, it would fetch hundreds of thousands or even millions at auction.
The thing that Grandpa Li gave her was far too valuable.
Jiang Yue used the key to open the box inside. Although she had a premonition, these items still surprised her.
A pair of bright green jadeite bracelets, a ring, and a pair of earrings.
Jiang Yue's grandparents also came from a wealthy family. Her grandmother had talked to her about jewelry when she was little and left her some as part of her dowry. Jiang Yue naturally knew the value of these four items. If kept for decades, they would be worth tens of millions.
Jiang Yue took out the key to the yard, locked the box again, and put the outer box back in its original position.
In the morning, Jiang Yue ate a bowl of noodles and arrived at the meeting point a few minutes early.
After boarding the bus, Jiang Yue saw Huang Ru again. This time, Jiang Yue nodded to Huang Ru and walked to the back seat.
Huang Ru glanced at Jiang Yue, her expression showing some displeasure.
Jiang Yue told Lao Xiao about spending over a hundred yuan on books yesterday. Although Lao Xiao was surprised, he said it was someone else's business.
But what kind of wife spends money like that? Even if she wanted to buy books, couldn't she buy some used books? Now used books cost only a few cents to a few dollars per kilogram, and there are plenty of them.
Lu Yu is the most outstanding person in their division, and I heard he has made many contributions in the past. How can someone like him manage to marry someone who spends money so extravagantly...?
I spent over a hundred yesterday, and went out again today.
She doesn't look like a military wife at all.
This is outrageous!
Jiang Yue closed her eyes, wanting to rest for a while, but then she heard people talking about her.
"Did Battalion Commander Lu's wife really spend over a hundred yesterday?"
"My God, she spent over a hundred yuan on shopping a few days ago, and another hundred yuan yesterday. In just a few days, she's spent a year's salary of Battalion Commander Lu."
"You bet, that's such a waste of money."
Jiang Yue ignored the whispers and pointing fingers. She had a purpose in buying these things.
It's possible to buy used high school books, but Jiang Yue felt it would be better to buy new ones. She didn't know how many years it would take to go to university, and the old ones might break after a year or two, while the new ones, if used properly, could last for several years without any problems.
Those medical books and English books are not so easy to find.
The car soon arrived in the county town. After getting off the car, Jiang Yue went to the supply and marketing cooperative first.
After asking the supply and marketing cooperative if they could help with delivery, Jiang Yue bought a 50-jin bag of rice, a 50-jin bag of flour, some candy, and some daily necessities.
Jiang Yue, along with the people from the supply and marketing cooperative, delivered the goods to the newly purchased house.
Grandpa Li was sitting at the door of the room.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang is here."
"Uncle Li."
After thanking the comrades from the supply and marketing cooperative, Jiang Yue looked at Grandpa Li.
"Comrade Jiang, you've arrived. Yesterday, my wife and I packed our things and moved to the old house."
