Panpan, which means little white dog, means crying without tears. These two names are similar. Neither is unpleasant than the other. Of course, neither sounds nice.
But there was nothing I could do. The dog couldn't speak, so I could only accept it silently.
After settling Panpan down, Jiang Yanqing left the space with peace of mind, lay back on the bed, and began to fall asleep.
Early the next morning, Jiang Yanqing was awakened by the bell for work at the mine. Everyone else had already finished breakfast and gone to work, but Miss Jiang was still lying in bed with sleepy eyes.
There were no special arrangements today, so Jiang Yanqing went straight into the space, washed up, drank a glass of warm water, and played with Xiao Panpan for a while before going into the kitchen and having a simple breakfast.
After breakfast, when I left the space, it was almost ten o'clock.
Jiang Yanqing walked around the yard and saw the dusty storage room. She suddenly became interested and thought that since she had nothing to do, she might as well rummage around and make some room for it.
What's more, when Jiang Debao and his wife got married, they threw away some of the original owner's and Jiang's father and mother's things, and left some in here.
Therefore, Jiang Yanqing wanted to find out if there were any relics of the original owner's parents that she could preserve.
Jiang Yanqing did it right away. She went back to the house, changed into her most tattered clothes, put on a headscarf, a mask and gloves, and smashed open the rusty iron lock on the utility room that looked like a decoration.
The utility room was indeed very messy, with almost no room to step in. On the outermost side were a few broken benches, a small rotten and moldy cabinet, and a pile of cardboard boxes.
Jiang Yanqing threw all these things into the yard. The useless ones could be chopped up and used as firewood later, and the paper shells could be sold to scrap collectors.
That was all. An area at the door was cleared, and then there was a black quilt and a few rags whose original colors could not be seen.
There were two broken wooden basins and several half-rotten books lying nearby. Jiang Yanqing bent down to pick them up and took a look. They were the textbooks used by the original owner when he was in school!
There was nothing valuable in the entire storage room. Many things had rotted due to being left there for a long time. Jiang Yanqing could smell the damp and moldy smell in the air even with a mask on.
The things in the utility room were almost cleared out when Jiang Yanqing accidentally stepped on a wooden board, her body tilted and she bumped into the wall.
Fortunately, the wall was covered with peeling soil and sand. After hitting it, a large piece of the wall fell off, but Jiang Yanqing was not injured.
As the wall paint fell off, Jiang Yanqing turned her head and saw that a red brick on the wall was tilted up, revealing a pointed tip.
It was obvious that the wall brick was loose. Driven by curiosity, Jiang Yanqing reached out and pulled out the red brick little by little. Sure enough, there was a small black box inside.
Jiang Yanqing half bent her hands and took out the small box. It was the size of a palm and there was nothing special about it. The wood used was just ordinary furniture wood.
However, the place where it appeared exuded an unusual atmosphere.
Jiang Yanqing hesitated for a second, thinking that this was the home of the original owner and his parents, and that he was now the owner of this place, so there shouldn't be anything wrong if he opened it.
The box didn't have a lock, just a simple protruding wooden buckle, so Jiang Yanqing opened it easily.
Inside the box was a ball of red cloth, and something was wrapped in the red cloth. Jiang Yanqing simply uncovered the red cloth, and a dark green Ruyi jade pendant appeared in front of her.
When he saw the jade pendant, memories suddenly flooded his mind. Jiang Yanqing looked at the jade pendant with a deep look. This jade pendant must not be that simple.
It turned out that the original owner of this jade pendant had indeed seen it. When she was two or three years old, she was in very poor health and was always sick. Once, she almost died of pneumonia.
Later, the original owner's mother suddenly took out a jade pendant, which is the one he has now, and asked the original owner to wear it, saying that she had asked for it in the temple and it could ensure safety.
No one knew about this except the original owner's family of three, because at that time, the policy of breaking feudal superstitions was the strictest. If this matter were to be spread, it would be a disaster.
Miraculously, after the original owner put on the jade pendant, his health really gradually improved. By the time he was five years old, he hadn't been sick for a long time.
Jiang's mother thought that wearing this jade pendant would eventually lead to trouble, and once it was discovered by others, there would be no explanation.
I took it off the original owner and put it away. Fortunately, the original owner has been in good health since then, and the jade pendant has been forgotten.
I didn’t expect that after so many years, it was actually dug out by Jiang Yanqing who came from later generations.
Based on Jiang Yanqing's experience, this jade pendant should be carved from top-grade jadeite, without a trace of impurities, and the carving is exquisite, making it priceless.
This makes people think more. Jiang's father and mother are just working class, how could they have such valuable things?
An heirloom? Impossible. At least the Jiang family's heirloom couldn't possibly fall into the hands of Jiang Lao San. Then, Jiang's mother's family wouldn't give the heirloom to a daughter-in-law, right?
