Jiang Baige was thinking about what else to take next door when she suddenly heard Grandma Meng calling her from the next room.
"Girl, come to my room."
Jiang Baige agreed: "Hey, here I come."
I came to Grandma Meng's room and saw her packing her bags.
Jiang Baige asked, "Grandma Meng, what did you call me here for? Didn't you find it?"
Grandma Meng said, "Get the hoe from under the eaves and close the door."
Jiang Baige agreed, then picked up the hoe next to her, entered the room, and obediently closed the door.
She didn't know what this was for, but since she was asked to take it, there must be something wrong.
Hearing the door close, Grandma Meng said again, "Move that stool away and dig up the mud underneath it."
She pointed to a stool against the wall.
Jiang Baige was confused and let out a sigh of confusion.
"ah!"
Grandma Meng said, "Ah, what? Hurry up and do it!"
Jiang Baige reacted and said "oh" again.
She guessed that Grandma Meng must have hidden something, so she asked her to dig it out secretly to avoid being discovered when the house was being repaired.
She picked up a hoe and began to dig.
Grandma Meng heard her movements and sighed, "Be careful not to damage the things below."
"oh!"
Jiang Baige agreed again and dug slowly and carefully.
The two of them were digging for treasures in the house, and Chen Jiaojiao also ran over from the yard.
"Sister, Mom asked me to come and help. Is there anything else you want to move? Bring it to me."
Hearing Chen Jiaojiao's voice, Jiang Baige stopped what he was doing.
"Oh! Jiaojiao! Take Siyan over first! I can get the things in my room myself later."
Chen Jiaojiao heard her sister in Grandma Meng's house and thought she was helping Grandma Meng pack things.
Her sister asked her to take Siyan away, so she did as her sister asked.
In order to prevent Siyan from being in danger, Jiang Baige tied him up herself.
After untying the rope around Siyan's neck, Chen Jiaojiao took Siyan's lunch box and called Siyan to go home.
"Four Eyes, let's go. You'll be staying at my house for the next few days. If you behave well, I won't tie you up."
She didn't understand why her sister tied up Siyan and thought he was being naughty.
Siyan has grown a lot. Now that he is free, he runs out howling and chasing Chen Jiaojiao.
Hearing that there was no sound in the yard, Jiang Baige continued what he was doing.
After a while, the hoe in her hand hit something hard.
Grandma Meng had sharp ears and she heard it too.
"Be careful."
Jiang Baige had no choice but to use a hoe to dig it out bit by bit.
After taking out a square wooden box, Jiang Baige said, "It's out."
Grandma Meng said, "Take it out and open it to see if anything inside is broken."
Jiang Baige agreed: "Hey."
Then he dug the wooden box out of the mud.
The soil in the house was dry, so the box buried underground was basically intact.
I took the box out, but she didn't open it. It wasn't hers.
He brushed off the mud on the box and placed it on the table.
"Grandma Meng, let me open it for you!"
Grandma Meng sighed and said, "I've given you all these. Open them and take a look."
Jiang Baige shook her head and said, "I don't want it. This is yours. You can keep it for your retirement."
Grandma Meng was stunned and had a stern face.
"I'm already old, why should I take care of myself? Just take it if you give it to me."
"Repairing a house must cost a lot of money! I see you have ways to make money. Take the two you don't like and sell them to earn some money for your work."
Jiang Baige said: "No, I have money. This is yours, I can't take it."
Two people are pushing the drama, and both want it.
Grandma Meng touched the small box in front of her. She hadn't touched it for decades. Now, as she touched it, she knew that the paint on the box should have disappeared.
She sighed, "I have no children, who can I leave these to? I have to leave these to you. We are destined to be together. You are my grandmother, and I treat you as my own granddaughter. If I don't leave them to you, who else can I leave them to?"
Hearing her words, Jiang Baige choked up a little. Grandma Meng really treated her as a family member.
She said, "Okay, I'll keep it for now. If you find it useful, I'll give it back to you."
Maybe they buried it in a hurry, so they had time to lock the small box.
Grandma Meng found the buckle and opened the box.
She said, "These were my original dowry. Most of them were confiscated when the house was raided. I buried these secretly."
As she spoke, she seemed to be recalling the past.
Jiang Baige hugged her and said, "It's all in the past. Let's not think about it, okay?"
Grandma Meng sniffed and said, "Okay, okay, then put these away."
Jiang Baige looked at the things in the box. The most eye-catching thing was a pair of bracelets. Although the light in the room was dim, she could still see the green color of the bracelets. They should be a pair of jade bracelets.
There is also a string of beads in the same color, each bead is as big as a thumb, and it looks very beautiful.
There was also a pair of gold bracelets, some silver jewelry, a very beautiful longevity lock, and several gold bars to seal the unopened Yuan Datou coins.
Jiang Baige asked, "Grandma Meng, can you tell me what your family used to do?"
Grandma Meng said this as she recalled the past.
"My father is a landlord, and my mother is a poor official daughter. These jewelry were passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors. I didn't expect that they would be cut off in my family."
Her voice was very lonely, and she took a deep breath and said, "Fortunately, I passed them on to you again, and didn't bury them underground."
Jiang Baige hugged Grandma Meng, patted her back gently, and said nothing.
She didn't need to know what to say, for fear that if she said something wrong, Grandma Meng would be upset.
After a while, Jiang Baige closed the lid and put the box into the space.
She said, "Grandma Meng, please go wait in the yard. I'll clean up here and come out right away."
Grandma Meng agreed, "Hey."
After saying that, he picked up a bag of clothes, opened the door and went out.
After Jiang Baige leveled the ground, she picked up the pillows and quilt on Grandma Meng's bed.
Zhou Xiuying said from outside: "Bai Ge! Is there anything else to move?"
Jiang Baige agreed, "I have a bag of clothes on the bed that I want to take away. The rest are in the closet, so you don't have to move them."
It was her last-minute decision to renovate the house, and she didn't know what needed to be renovated yet, so she didn't know whether to vacate the house, and the furniture couldn't be moved for the time being.
Chen Defu came back soon and brought the accountant with him.
Jiang Baige sent Grandma Meng next door and was about to go to the office, but she didn't expect them to have arrived.
After inspecting the space, she thought that if the village did not agree to help, she would have to spend money to buy materials.
Anyway, the family has moved, and she hopes to start work as soon as possible.
Seeing that it is getting colder day by day, Jiang Baige also hopes to start the construction as soon as possible so that the house can be repaired and moved back sooner.
