Shen Feihong waved to them, picked up the bag of noodles, rode away on his bicycle.

The mule cart continued to move in the opposite direction. Lu Tianjun stroked the bracelet in his hand, his eyes full of nostalgia. After a long time, he said to Feng Qingxue: "Aunt, you must be curious about why I want to exchange bracelets with him, right?"

Feng Qingxue responded by patting his head and said, "I guess it's something from our Lu family."

Guan Cheng, who was sitting next to him, nodded. He thought so too. If he saw the jade locket that Aunt Xu gave him now, he would recognize it at a glance. Shen Feihong was not a good person at first glance. He looked more like the ruffians he often met when begging. He didn't know who got it from, but he proposed to exchange it instead of robbing it, which was a blessing for them.

"It was my mother's dowry." Lu Tianjun said, looking down at the dragon and phoenix bracelet in his hand. "When I was a child, my mother often wore it. She told me that when I grew up and got married, she would give this pair of bracelets to my wife as a family heirloom. However, the bracelets were taken away when the house was searched. It was very chaotic at that time and I don't know who took them away. In fact, I can recognize it at a glance now, not only because I have been with this bracelet day and night when I was a child, but also because there is no gem in one of the phoenix eyes on the bracelet. My mother said that when I was two years old, I was very naughty and liked to make trouble. When I got angry, I would throw anything in my hand to the ground and like to knock and hit things. My father was so angry that he always wanted to beat me. I was the one who picked the phoenix eye off the bracelet. I don't remember how I picked it off!"

It was not until today that he realized that his childhood memories were so profound and unforgettable.

Feng Qingxue listened quietly and said softly: "Your mother must love you very much. She started planning for you when you were so young."

Other than that, she didn't know what to say to comfort the young man in front of her, because for him and Guan Cheng, the past was full of pain.

"Yes! If my mother were still alive, she would definitely say that the two bracelets would be given to me and Tianzhi's wife, one each. This is called fairness!" After Lu Tianjun finished speaking, he put the bracelet in Feng Qingxue's hand, "Aunt, here you go. If we have a chance in the future, we can find the other bracelet back and make it a pair. When the storm has died down in the future, we can find a goldsmith to repair it and it should be able to be restored to its original state."

Red gold is extremely soft, and the bracelet has been deformed from round to flat, and the filigree dragon and phoenix are no longer as exquisite as before.

Feng Qingxue accepted it and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll keep it for you and pass it on to your wife in the future. Although your mother is gone, I am here. I will fulfill the responsibilities that a mother should fulfill on her behalf."

Lu Tianjun felt a lump in his throat and turned his head away so that she wouldn't see his tears.

Guan Cheng saw it and patted Lu Tianjun on the shoulder.

Being able to meet Feng Qingxue is a blessing they have accumulated over several lifetimes, and they will definitely be filial to her in the future.

Feng Qingxue lives her life with conscience. She has never asked for anything in return for taking care of these children, and she will never mistreat them in terms of food. So when she returns home in the evening, she makes hand-rolled noodles with white flour.

After more than a month of busy autumn harvest, the whole family has lost weight.

Not only thin, but also dark.

Only Feng Qingxue protected herself well, secretly applied sunscreen, and did little work, so her dark skin was not noticeable.

She felt sorry for her family who had worked so hard for so long, so she wanted to give them some nourishment and help them gain weight in the autumn, so she fried chopped green onions and cabbage leaves with lard, and there was a white and tender poached egg in everyone's bowl of noodles.
