Chapter 316: Farewell to an Old Friend 2

"How could that be? In our eyes, it's enough that you haven't changed."

After hearing what Aunt Xu said, Zhong Shi also laughed.

Uncle Xu exchanged a look with Aunt Xu, who nodded. She turned around and took out the sixteen eggs sent by Guan Cheng and Lu Tianjun and a can of malted milk that she had been given as a gift. Uncle Xu bent down and dug out a small box from the corner of the wall, and handed them both to Zhong Shi.

Zhong Shi was stunned. "Brother Xu, sister, what is this?"

Aunt Xu said sternly, "We are poor but rich on the road. The box contains the little gold we have left. You can take it with you. We have no way to exchange foreign currency. Even if you can exchange a little before you go abroad, it is only a little and will not help at all. Gold is a hard currency used internationally. You should hide it secretly and take it with you. Boil the eggs and take them to the car to eat."

It takes one or two days by train to get from home to Shanghai.

Zhong Shi's eyes suddenly turned red, but he only took the eggs and malted milk and pushed the gold back. "Sister, I'll take the eggs and malted milk, but I won't use the gold. You can keep it. We'll have plenty of money in the future. Before Awan and I got into trouble, we hid a lot of gold and jewelry. We'll take them all this time. You don't have to worry about our livelihood."

Having said that, he reached into his arms and took out two small brocade boxes and handed them to Aunt Xu.

Aunt Xu was stunned. "What is this?"

"That girl whose name I don't know, over the past year or so, thanks to the food she got, Awan and I have been able to eat decent meals and live a normal life. We haven't been hungry much, which is so rare in the midst of such natural disasters and man-made calamities! We are leaving now, and I don't know if we will have the chance to come back in the future. I ask you to pass these two pieces of jewelry to her as a commemoration." Zhong Shi said sadly.

After falling from the top of the clouds into the mud, he understood the fickleness of the world and began to cherish the little kindness he received during difficult times.

Aunt Xu took it and said, "Okay, I'll give it to her later. It's just that you left too suddenly. If I had heard the news earlier, I would have asked her to get you some more supplies to take with you."

Zhong Shi said, "People should be content. As long as we escape from this factional struggle, we can earn a living anyway."

It's not that he has no ability, but he was dragged into the factional struggles above him and was in a difficult situation, which prevented him from having the opportunity to display his strengths.

Grandpa Xu held his hand and said, "Old Zhong, be careful and have a safe trip. That is a colony and the roads are chaotic. Once you get there, you two should ensure your own safety first."

"Don't worry, Brother Xu. I understand."

Even though they knew it was a mess there, Zhong Shi and his wife still rushed there without hesitation.

Three days after they left, their neighbors realized they were missing and quickly reported it to their superiors, saying that they had escaped. They finally got the answer that they had been invited to give lectures in Hong Kong.

When Guan Cheng and Lu Tianjun were sending a letter for Feng Qingxue, they visited Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu, who asked them to pass the jewelry to Feng Qingxue.

Aunt Xu also told them about Zhong Shi and his wife going abroad.

The two children were extremely smart, and like them, they had suffered from their class background. Besides, the whereabouts of Zhong Shi and his wife were no longer a secret, so there was nothing to hide, except that they did not tell anyone about the fact that Feng Qingxue had helped them.

They handed the jewelry to Feng Qingxue and told her about it at the same time.

Feng Qingxue was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "It's not bad to have a way out."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It is now 62 years later. It was a wise move for Uncle Xu's old friend to leave before the cultural catastrophe came.
