Chapter 24 Dowry, a touch of red
Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this.
It was the first time she heard Gu Yunshu speak so firmly.
Gu Yunshu smiled gently, as if she understood Jiang Ning's surprise.
She continued.
"It was your father and I who didn't live a good life before. These days, so many things have happened in the family, especially after the separation. Your father and I had a chat and understood a lot of things.
Ning, life is only a few decades long, it is not worth it to suffer for anyone. ”
Gu Yunshu only recently realized this truth.
She had wasted decades of her life and didn't want Jiang Ning to follow the same path.
So on the eve of their departure, she kept nagging with worry.
Even if he had to repeat it over and over again, he wanted Jiang Ning to remember it firmly.
"Aning, your days and your life are yours. Nothing else matters. Your happiness is the most important thing."
The gentle voice is full of tenacious persistence.
Jiang Ning was deeply touched at this moment.
Although she called them mom and dad in the past, she actually regarded Jiang Yuanshan and Gu Yunshu more as a responsibility.
After all, the original owner had the blood of both of them in his body.
Now that she has taken over the original owner's body, she should do something for the original owner's parents.
Nowadays.
Gu Yunshu's numerous exhortations made Jiang Ning feel unprecedented care and love.
She is not a time traveler, but the daughter of Gu Yunshu and Jiang Yuanshan, the apple of their eyes.
Jiang Ning couldn't help it and his eyes turned slightly red.
She nodded, taking all of Gu Yunshu's words into account.
at the same time.
Gu Yunshu gave some worried instructions, but Jiang Ning didn't agree in his heart.
"Mom, although our family has split up, neither Jiang Li nor Jiang Erhai are willing to break up completely. They are willing to leave now, but they still have the money they extorted from us before. When they run out of money every day, they will definitely come back to bother you again."
Speaking of Jiang Erhai's family.
Gu Yunshu's face became nervous again.
"Aning, do you have any ideas? Mom, we'll do whatever you say."
Jiang Ning nodded and continued talking while holding Gu Yunshu's hand.
"Mom, when the family was divided, Third Grandpa was the witness and forced Jiang Erhai to write a contract and put his fingerprints on it. You should not only keep the contract, but also go to the notary office to notarize it. It only costs a few dollars, and the contract is guaranteed by the state. This has a different meaning. You must remember to go."
"I'll go tomorrow! Notary Office, I'll remember that."
Gu Yunshu listened carefully and nodded several times.
“After I leave, Jiang Xinrou will be taken to the countryside by the inspection team. She has been on the run for several years, and she will definitely not be able to escape this time.
There is also Jiang Qinglin. He will definitely fail the exam this time, and then he will have to go to the countryside to become an educated youth. So you don't have to worry about these two people. After they go to the countryside, they will never appear in front of you again.
As for Jiang Li...just remember one thing! Don't give any money! ! ! Keep your home like this and don’t buy anything except necessary daily necessities. The room is empty, so just leave it empty! ”
Jiang Ning carefully planned everything she could think of.
Gu Yunshu was not afraid of living a hard life, after all, her life was worse before.
but……
"As for the things at home, I will do as you said and not buy anything else. But... Xiao Qin gave me so much! They are all downstairs, and I can't hide them. If Jiang Erhai and his men come to steal them, I will risk my life to stop them from taking them."
Jiang Ning looked at Gu Yunshu's rare ferocious look and couldn't help but smile.
She said, "Mom, don't use force against them. It will take several days for the news to spread to the countryside. I rented a warehouse outside. Here is the key - keep it. When you are free tomorrow, you can move your valuables to the warehouse. There are people guarding it 24 hours a day. Even if Jiang Erhai finds out, they will be kicked out without the key."
A silver key was placed in Gu Yunshu's hand.
"As for the Maotai and purple clay teapot, I've thought about it... Mom, give them to Third Grandpa."
Gu Yunshu was anxious, "That was given by Xiao Qin. It was your betrothal gift. Are you just giving it away like that?"
"Mom, believe me. Give it to Third Grandpa and say thank you for doing justice for our family. This gift is definitely worth it."
Jiang Ning's words were serious and meaningful.
There were some words that she couldn't say at this time.
Now it is the 1980s, and the state-owned enterprise reform in the 1990s and the coming wave of unemployment are not far away.
It’s unclear how long Jiang Yuanshan and Gu Yunshu can keep their iron rice bowls at the steel mill.
Communication and transportation are not convenient in this era, and she cannot take care of the family all the time.
A big shot like Mr. Jiang Sanye would definitely understand the value of Maotai and purple teapots.
Rather than putting it at home as a decoration, it is better to give it as a gift to ask for a favor.
This way, even if Jiang Ning is not around, they can feel more at ease knowing that Master Jiang San will take care of their family.
Jiang Ning's firm words finally convinced Gu Yunshu.
besides.
Jiang Ning also gave detailed instructions on other matters, the most important of which was——
"Mom, here is five hundred dollars, keep it."
She was in a hurry to do business and make money just to leave a final guarantee for Jiang Yuanshan and Gu Yunshu.
"How much did you say?! Five hundred?!"
When Gu Yunshu heard the amount, her eyes widened.
Although five hundred cannot be compared with the generous ten thousand yuan that Qin Jiulie spent.
But in today's world where the annual income is only one or two hundred yuan, five hundred yuan is also a considerable amount of money.
Money was stuffed into Gu Yunshu's palm. It was so hot that she could hardly hold it.
Jiang Ning had already thought of a reason.
"Mom, this money was not given by Jiulie, I earned it myself. In addition to working in the textile factory, I also took on some manual work privately. It took me many years to save this much. Take it, don't be reluctant, spend it boldly and without worry. If you don't accept it, I won't be at ease when I leave tomorrow."
After hearing what Jiang Ning said, Gu Yunshu felt that the money in her hand was even heavier.
Her eyes were red and filled with tears again.
That night, the mother and daughter talked for a long time.
Even though it was late at night and Jiang Ning was ready to go to bed, he still saw Gu Yunshu sitting under the light.
There was a sewing basket on her knees, a piece of red satin cloth in her hand, and fine needle and thread in her hands.
Sewing stitch by stitch.
Head down, focused and serious.
"Mom, aren't you going to sleep yet?"
"Don't go to bed yet. Mom needs to finish what she has in hand before going to bed. This way, she can let you take it away tomorrow."
When Jiang Ning heard that it was something to be taken away, he became curious and walked closer to take a look.
Saw a touch of bright red.
This was something Jiang Ning had never thought of.
Her eyes flickered, and a heat surged on her face, and her cheeks suddenly turned red.
Feeling embarrassed and annoyed.
"Mom, why are you making this?"
Gu Yunshu paused her sewing and looked up to see Jiang Ning's embarrassed little daughter.
This was completely different from the serious and calm expression on Jiang Ning's face when he had given her so many instructions before.
As a mother, her heart softened.
Their Aning is still a little girl~
Gu Yunshu smiled lightly and joked, "You are already married, why are you still shy when you see this?"
Jiang Ning blushed and pursed his lips.
I'm at a loss for words and don't know how to respond to this.
Gu Yunshu picked up the needle and thread again, and sewed carefully, stitch by stitch.
"This... is my mother's dowry when she got married. But I didn't hide it well, so Chen Meilan took some of it away. I tried hard to get it back, but there is only a little bit left. Although there are a few things missing, this is silk fabric, something left by our ancestors. Touch it and feel it. It is soft and smooth."
Jiang Ning reached out and gently touched the cloth in Gu Yunshu's hand.
Just a light touch of fingertips.
She knew it was good stuff.
Not just satin, but real silk!
When Jiang Ning was studying intangible cultural heritage techniques in his previous life, he also came into contact with ancient silk. However, no matter how he improved his craftsmanship, he could not replicate the 100% soft texture.
It’s like some things, once replaced by modern industry, can never be found again.
But the soft touch in front of him made Jiang Ning's eyes light up.
It's a good thing!
Gu Yunshu continued to speak slowly.
"You and Xiao Qin got married in a hurry, and your father and I didn't have much money. We didn't buy you a dowry, nor did we hold a wedding banquet for you. Mom always feels empty inside, and feels like she owes you."
The gentle and caring words continued.
Stitches are falling one by one.
"I thought about it carefully, and this is the only thing I can offer. Aning, this is the dowry that mom prepared for you. Do you like it?"
Jiang Ning stared at the bright red and nodded vigorously.
"Mom, I like it!"
If we could take this kind of ancient silk back for research, we might find new discoveries.
She can fulfill her dream from her previous life and replicate it exactly.
and……
This thing...
That man will like it too, right? ◎
Jiang Ning blushed and thought foolishly.
