After arriving home, Lu Xia rubbed the jade pendant with her hands. It felt warm all over. She had never touched jade before, but this one felt like the warm jade described in books. It must be very precious.
So he asked Jiang Junmo, "How are you going to deal with this?"
Jiang Junmo saw that she had been playing with it with her hands, thinking that she liked it, so he pursed his lips, thought for a while and said: "I have a few pieces at home, if you like them, I will give them to you when you return to Beijing. Keep this one for now and return it to my sister-in-law later."
Lu Xia understood what he meant and rolled her eyes immediately, "What do you mean? How can I take it for myself? Don't worry, I don't care about such a jade pendant!"
Jiang Junmo immediately came over to apologize after hearing her say that, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have misunderstood Xia Xia, Xia Xia, can you forgive me?"
Seeing that he apologized but with a smile in his eyes, Lu Xia knew that he was not worried. She could see that she was pretending to be angry, so she snorted and said, "I forgive you this time. Don't think of me as so petty in the future. Can't I understand your intention? You just want them to have more confidence when they collect things in the future. Okay, go away. You just want to piss me off."
Jiang Junmo laughed immediately after hearing this, "Xia Xia is right, Xia Xia is too smart, I misunderstood Xia Xia."
Lu Xia rolled his eyes again and muttered, "Flatterer!"
Then he suddenly remembered what Jiang Junmo had just said, "You said you have some at home too? Is it your grandmother's dowry?"
Jiang Junmo shook his head, "It was left by my mother. Her ancestors were also in business during the Republic of China. Later, due to the war, the factory closed down, and my great-grandfather sold the remaining property and took his legitimate son and daughter abroad. My grandfather's branch was born out of wedlock and was not popular, so he gave some money to stay in the country.
...
...
But my grandfather was in poor health and had no business skills. After he got married, he lived off his savings. Later, when his savings were almost gone, he was left with only a small courtyard in the capital and a few things.
Later, his health could no longer hold on and he passed away. After he passed away, my grandmother and my mother had a hard time living together until my mother joined the army and met my father.
But unexpectedly, she married my father, gave birth to five children and then went there.
After losing her only daughter, my grandmother died of grief when I was five years old. Before she passed away, she left her small courtyard and all her belongings to me.
This was the first time Lu Xia heard him talk about his grandmother's family. Now that he heard that there was no one left at his grandmother's house, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Walked over and held his hand.
Jiang Junmo smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not sad. In fact, I don't have much impression of my grandma, but I heard from my sisters that she was a very good person, an old lady with bound feet. Because she missed us grandchildren, she always walked for most of the day and went around most of the capital to see us.
In the past, he even planted fruit trees in the yard, and in the fall he would pick the fruits for us to eat.”
After listening to this, Lu Xia held his hand tighter because she felt the sadness in his tone.
But I don’t know how to persuade.
Because she was an orphan and was unfamiliar with family affection, all she could do was to accompany him.
Fortunately, Jiang Junmo recovered quickly and said to her with a smile: "Let's live in that courtyard when we return to the city. I have already agreed with my family that we will move out after we get married. Although the courtyard is not big, the environment is good. It will be our home in the future. You should like it."
Lu Xia nodded, "Okay."
