"Okay, it's up to mother to divide it up! This old house says it belongs to Hu Gua, so I won't fight with him. When I come back today, I just want to pick up my own things. Don't worry, I'll just take it and leave."
With that, Zhang Gugua stepped inside.
take something?
When Old Mrs. Deng heard this, he couldn't help but stare.
What can the boss come back to get?
He has been studying in the town since he was a child, and he has been living in the town since he got a wife. He only comes back for a few days during the New Year. What kind of things can he have in this house?
Not even a single piece of clothing could be found there.
Okay, come back suddenly to pick up something?
Old Mrs. Deng felt it was strange, so she hurriedly stepped into the Song family's yard, turned around and headed this way.
Mrs. Miao was guarding the bacon in the house, while Zaohua and Shi Daner were playing in the yard. When she saw Zhang Gugua was still in a daze, she strode up to the upper room without guarding against him coming in.
Old Deng followed and saw Zhang Gugua entering the upper room, so he couldn't help but walk faster.
"I said pumpkin, what are you coming back to get?"
Old Mrs. Deng has already moved to live with Li Donggua. Zhang Hugua is the family member of this old house, so logically he can move into the upper room.
But Zhang Hugua hadn't come back yet, and Mrs. Miao also thought about keeping it so that she could live there when old Mrs. Deng came back. She didn't think about moving into the upper room, so she locked the back room and left only the main room for guests.
.
Zhang Gugua rushed into the main room and saw that the back room was locked. Then he stopped and listened to Old Deng's words. He turned around and said, "Mom, please unlock the door. I'll go in and get something."
"What is it?" Mrs. Deng felt even more strange. This was the house she lived in. She knew exactly what was in it, but nothing belonged to Zhang Pumpkin.
"I remember my mother made me a cloth tiger to play with when I was little. But when my head got bigger, I stopped playing with it. Did my mother put it away? I have been thinking about the cloth tiger lately. My mother opened the door and I went in to get it.
"Zhang Gugua made an excuse.
When Old Mrs. Deng heard what he said, she couldn't help but think of those days, and felt a little emotional for a while.
Pumpkin was her first child. At that time, she was pregnant, and Zhang Laodou’s life and death were unknown. She had a very difficult life. If it weren’t for her younger brother and sister, she would not have been able to give birth to Pumpkin safely and smoothly.
Later, as soon as the child was born, I got the news that Mr. Zhang had died on the battlefield without any trace of his body. At that time, I was really devastated.
If it weren't for the baby in her arms, she really wouldn't have been able to survive.
In those one or two years, mother and son depended on each other. Those days were really...
At that time, she never thought that one day, the child who had been dependent on her and felt so much pain in her hands would be where she is now.
It’s really heartbreaking to think about.
Old Deng thought of the cloth tiger she had made for her boss, and she didn't think too much about it at the moment, so she subconsciously opened the lock.
As soon as the lock was opened, Zhang Gugua rushed in with a single stride.
Old Mrs. Deng was slow for a moment and was about to tell him that the cloth tiger was placed in the wooden box under the bed.
Then I saw that Zhang Gugua had a direction and walked straight towards the back of the bed.
She moved closer and saw Zhang Gugua pulling something on the wall behind the bed.
This bed has been in this position since the house was built. It has never been moved for decades.
She had never discovered that there was a loose brick in the wall behind the bed that could be taken out?
Old Deng's eyes couldn't help but become complicated. She saw Zhang Gugua took out the brick and then took out something, and then quickly stuffed it into her arms, so fast that she didn't even have time to see clearly what the thing was.
Zhang Gugua put the bricks back in place, turned around, and saw old Mrs. Deng looking straight at him. He didn't say anything more, he just said: "Okay, I took the things away and went to the village to pay what I owed."
Now that the money has been returned, mother can rest assured!"
With that said, he strode outside.
Old Mrs. Deng did not call him to stop, but his eyes stayed on the wall for a long, long time.
She and Mr. Zhang had always lived in this house. When the house was built, Mr. Zhang had been watching.
There was a loose brick in the wall, and she didn't even know about it.
Then it can only be Mr. Zhang.
Thinking that Zhang Lao Dou could speak now, Lao Deng pursed her lips.
Suddenly, he laughed a little self-deprecatingly.
She thought that since Xiangye was born, she was the only one who shared different dreams in this bed every day.
Zhang Laodou clearly told her about the jade pendant, but he didn't tell her and even guarded against her.
That’s all.
Old Mrs. Deng was quickly relieved and no longer wondered what Zhang Gugua had taken and what it could do.
No matter if it is silver or some kind of family heirloom, he can keep it if he wants to leave it to his great son.
Everything is determined, God is watching.
She shook her head, turned around as if she didn't know anything, and then went to find old Yuan to relax.
Zhang Gugua, who walked out of Zhang's house, was extremely excited with that thing in his arms.
When he came back today, he had two things to do. The first was to get something.
This is the second one!
Waiting to find the place!
The last time I came back, I was embarrassed and left in despair.
This time when he comes back, he will feel proud!
For this reason, he specially spent five taels of silver to rent the best carriage!
She got on the carriage with her head held high and her chest high, and asked the driver to rush to the village.
At this time, there was nothing to do in the village. Anyone who had a fire to cook would be happy to gather around and chat.
Suddenly seeing such a magnificent carriage entering the village, which looked more respectable than the one Aqiu Xin bought, he was a little curious about whose relative this was and who he came to see.
Anyone who knows their village well has never heard of any family having such a wealthy family member?
But seeing the carriage stop at the door of Butcher Wang's house, everyone was wondering, which big family invited Butcher Wang to kill pigs?
They all stared at the carriage curiously.
Soon, the curtains of the carriage were opened, and the villagers stared at the man who got off the carriage, their eyes widened, and they blinked hard to make sure they saw it correctly.
"Then who is it? Is it Zhang Pumpkin? Am I right?"
"You read that right, isn't that Zhang Pumpkin?"
"Hey! Didn't you say that they hid overnight and disappeared to nowhere? Why did they suddenly come back? Look at what he is wearing, he is even more expensive than before, and he is riding in such a good carriage. Where did he go?
Got rich?"
"..."
The villagers were chattering away, and Zhang Guangguan, who was not deaf, heard them all. He couldn't help but raise his chin, looking very dignified.
He enjoyed the looks that fell on him, and calmly looked at Butcher Wang in the yard and said, "Is Uncle Liang at home? Just in time, I'm here to repay the money I owe you, so it's good that you're here."
With that said, he walked in, took off the heavy money bag from his waist, and untied it in his hand, so that people could see at a glance the white pieces of silver it was filled with.
"You owe Uncle Liang two taels of silver, right?" Zhang Gugua took out an ingot of two taels of broken silver and handed it over.
Butcher Wang hadn't seen Zhang Guanggu for a long time, and he didn't have any hope that the money would be returned to him by Zhang Guanggu when the family broke up. Therefore, when this happened, he still couldn't recover for a while.
Zhang Gugua thought to himself, "It's the Chinese New Year right before our eyes. It's not good to owe money, so I made a special trip back today. Except for Uncle Liang's place, I will go back to everything else. It's only five days."
The two pieces of silver are not worth the cost of a meal for me, so I can't afford to owe you anything."

There is a saying that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, but the truth~
Well, for example, Dabao is a son, and my husband and I were longing for a little cotton-padded jacket and bought a bunch of pink clothes, but as a result, Barbie came out.
The two sons are so broken...seeking comfort online>_<
(Unless the doctor’s eyesight is wrong, but this month, there is no way to make a comeback, right?)
