The day after returning to China, Wei Ran drove the car left by Chen Guangling and went to the scrap factory under the guidance of the navigation system. After successfully selling the gold melting equipment he had bought at a high price for a mere penny, he immediately
He rushed to the city without stopping and returned the car and house keys to Chen Guangling.
After being persuaded by the other party, Wei Ran stayed for a meal and left some gifts prepared in advance before rushing to the high-speed rail station to surprise his parents.
Unfortunately, when he opened the door with the gifts and waited until eight o'clock in the evening, no one came back at all, not even the crooked pug.
Not believing in evil, I once again went to the house across the street that was nominally my own and looked around, but there was no one there either.
Could it be that he was going to his grandma's house? Wei Ran thought about it for a while, but finally decided not to call and ask, and decided to wait until tomorrow.
In the blink of an eye, the next morning, the safe I bought online at a high price was finally delivered to my door. Several staff members worked together to carry it into a well-insulated study room.
He sent the staff away politely, locked the door to the inner room and closed the curtains. Then he immediately took out two gold bars from the food box and locked them in the safe. As for the remaining more than forty dollars, they were
They were all hidden in the background wall built by Suisui with two large lifting poles.
After finishing all this, Wei Ran weighed the remaining piece of gold scraps in his hand, put it into his pocket, and looked at the opposite door again. Seeing that his parents still hadn't come back, he reluctantly picked up the gift and took it.
Got the car keys, drove dad's car parked downstairs and left home.
First, he went to a local gold shop that had been open for many years. He used the gold scraps in his pocket to make a gold bracelet for each of his two grandmothers. Wei Ran, who was familiar with the business, went to a local liquor store with a good reputation and bought it.
After buying two jars of the best grain wine and buying a stainless steel funnel, I turned the car and drove towards my grandma's house.
However, when the car left the city and reached a secluded rural road, he once again stepped on the brakes and stopped in the shadow of a willow tree on the side of the road.
He opened the car door and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around and there were no surveillance cameras, he slowly got into the back seat of the car.
Opening the cork of a bottle of liquor and smelling it, Wei Ran nodded with satisfaction and took out the oil barrel specially used to hold water from the metal book under the cover of the back of the seat.
After pouring out all the remaining mineral water, Wei Ran took out a stainless steel funnel and put it into the mouth of the bottle. He carefully poured some white wine into it, cleaned the funnel and poured it on the roadside. Only then did he put all the grain and wine in the two large jars.
Pour it in.
After tightening the lid of the barrel with gold coins, Wei Ran took out the oil barrel specially used to hold wine, poured the remaining liquor into it several times to wash away the remaining beer smell, and then he was satisfied with the button.
Put the lid on the barrel and fill it with that big brand of good wine when you return to the capital.
These wines were naturally prepared for the Olympic Games that he could not wait for. Although he didn't know if he would have the chance to take them out by then, there was nothing wrong with making preparations in advance.
Shaking the wine jar, he saw that there was still more than a kilogram of Fugen'er inside. Wei Ran did not waste it. Instead, he took out the wine bottle and cleaned it in the same way. He filled it carefully and then filled the wine jar.
Throw it into the roadside drainage ditch, restart the car and drive away.
When he drove the car to the village where his grandma lived, he saw a red brick courtyard wall and a row of nearly identical brand-new tile-roofed houses that were completely connected to Suisui's grandma's house.
Even when he walked into the yard carrying the gifts, he could still see several old carpenters from the village making solid wood furniture on the spot, and Suisui, a gadget, was holding a camera to these old men.
Taking photos.
"Can I help?" Wei Ran approached Suisui and asked, using his feet to pull away the pug that was spinning around him.
"Cut something for me...when did you come back?!"
After realizing it, Suisui let out an exclamation, and subconsciously wanted to hang it on Wei Ran. Fortunately, this crazy gadget finally knew where it was.
“I came back yesterday”
Wei Ran handed the gift in his hand to the other party, greeted each of the old craftsmen politely and dispersed a circle of smoke. Then he followed Suisui as he walked into the yard of her grandma's house and asked, "My parents
What? Where have they gone?"
"You won't wait for them at home all day, right?" Suisui reacted immediately.
"I didn't wait" Wei Ran spread his hands innocently.
"It's weird that you can wait," Suisui explained happily, "They went on a business trip to Shu a few days ago, and it is said that it will take more than half a month to come back."
"What about you? When are you going to Inta?" Wei Ran asked, changing the subject.
Suisui rolled her eyes when she heard this, "If you hadn't said you were coming back to pick me up more than a week ago, I would have taken those uncles and uncles to go to Yinta Panhuo Kang."
"You haven't booked a flight yet?" Wei Ran continued to ask.
"No," Suisui shook her head and said with a hint of complaint, "You didn't say when you would be back."
"Isn't this coming back?"
Wei Ran patted the top of each other's head, greeted the two elderly people who had already walked out of the house, and then took out a pair of bright, large gold bracelets decorated with lotus patterns from his pocket.
, and personally put it on the hands of the old ladies from both families.
"Are you rich?" Suisui's grandmother asked in surprise, "Is this thing really made of gold?"
"Fake, copper." Wei Ran fooled the old lady with a playful smile.
"Bullshit," Wei Ran's grandma laughed and scolded, "Can you still tell the difference between gold and copper?"
"Just wear it like a copper one."
Wei Ran continued to distribute the gifts to several old people with a playful smile, and asked casually, "Grandpas, what's something delicious to eat for lunch?"
"Noodle"
Grandpa Suisui invited Wei Ran to sit down at the table, then took out a half-frozen cold watermelon from the refrigerator and said, "You didn't even say a word in advance when you came, and now it's too late to get you something delicious."
.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Noodles are not bad either"
Wei Ran found two small stainless steel spoons and gave one to Suisui, who was already guarding the watermelon. He took another bite and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he asked curiously, "You guys
Why are you thinking about breaking furniture at this time?"
"This girl Suisui's evil idea"
Wei Ran's grandfather brought out a basket of fried peanuts and said, "This little girl said that the beams that were removed from the old house were thrown away and wasted, so she just used them to make some tables and chairs, right!"
Having said this, Wei Ran's grandfather patted his forehead, stood up and walked inside and said, "Wait a minute, when we demolished the house, we found something from the beams."
"Anything good again?"
Wei Ran was stunned. When Suisui's grandfather's house was renovated, he dug out a photo frame. He also used the negatives in the metal book to help re-developed the photos. Now those photos are hanging on the wall of the main room.
While thinking of those photos, Wei Ran also guessed what his grandfather found on the beam. If nothing else happened, it should be the North China Liberation Medal that his great-grandfather Han Shoutian received!
Sure enough, before Suisui could swallow the watermelon in her mouth, Wei Ran's grandfather had already placed a wooden box on the table. After opening it, he took out an iron box wrapped in red cloth.
Box.
"This thing was originally tied to the beam with red cloth." Wei Ran's grandfather handed the iron box to Wei Ran as he spoke.
"This girl Suisui said you must be interested in this thing."
Wei Ran's grandmother helped explain, "At that time, I would have just hidden these things on the beams of the new house. Are those things any more useful than Mr. Jiang?"
"I didn't say I wouldn't put it up."
Wei Ran's grandfather argued aggrievedly, "Our house doesn't have a suspended ceiling yet. We just want to show it to the child. After we finish watching it, we'll build a ladder and tie it to the beam."
"I'll help you put it up when the time comes." As Wei Ran spoke, he gently opened the iron box, which was only the size of a cigarette box.
As expected, there is indeed a commemorative medal for the liberation of North China preserved in it. In addition, there is also a cloth badge with "Chinese People's Liberation Army" printed in seven black characters on a white background with red edges, and a red metal five-pointed star.
Cap badge.
Turning the badge to the back, it was indeed written on it the number of the army that his great-great-grandfather Han Shoutian had served in and his position.
"Are these things left by my great-grandfather?" Wei Ran asked a question that didn't require an answer at all.
"Can't"
Wei Ran's grandfather said with emotion, "That old house was built after your grandma and I got married. Your great-grandpa personally led people to put the main beams in. This iron box, I guess he put it in at that time."
Going up."
Suisui, with her mouth full of watermelon juice, suggested, "Grandpa, how about we pick a good day and put that iron box and its contents on it?"
"If there is anything to choose from, do it now!"
Grandpa Wei Ran said with a smile, "This boy will have a good time when he comes back. Wei Ran, can you help grandpa put the box up?"
"OK!"
Wei Ran happily agreed and quickly arranged the medals and other things in the iron box.
"Wait for me for a while!" Suisui wiped his hands randomly, I have been waiting for this moment.
Before she finished speaking, this little thing had already run out of the main room, and soon after took out a small wooden box carved with festive patterns such as bats, longevity peaches, etc. from her room and ran back.
"I asked my uncle to help me make this box." Suisui pointed to a middle-aged carpenter who was working outside and said, "I exchanged it for a good cigarette."
"You're the only girl who's smart."
Grandma Wei Ran smiled and praised her. As for the uncle Suisui mentioned, he was naturally just a member of the same family in the same village.
After Wei Ran had washed his hands, he solemnly put the thing that represented the honor of his grandfather into a specially made wooden box. The uncle who was originally working in the yard also took the initiative to come over and help use the inherited mortise and tenon.
Mao Technique permanently sealed the lid of the wooden box, and used a brush dipped in cinnabar to write some good wishes on the varnished box that only traditional carpenters like them could understand.
Compared with the nomadic tribes who were praying devoutly in the desert, it was really hard for Wei Ran to explain what his grandma and grandpa, who was busy setting up the tribute and incense table on the newly made table in the middle of the courtyard, were doing.
A belief is still the so-called feudal superstition, or a more appropriate traditional custom.
But he knew that this ancient ritual passed down from his ancestors, as well as the commemorative medals, five-pointed star hat badges, badges and other items that were sealed in the box and were about to be delivered to the beams of the new house by himself, all represented the ordinary people's work.
My simple blessings for the peace and prosperity of the country and the people, as well as my gratitude and remembrance from the bottom of my heart to those who have selflessly sacrificed for the peace and prosperity of the country and the people.
