Chapter 166 Gifting a Child
“One thousand and one, one thousand and two...one thousand two hundred and thirty-five dollars and sixty-three cents!”
After a long while, Ni Yinghong finally finished counting the money. , such a huge amount of money made the girl’s hands shake a little.
At the same time, this full firepower also makes her confident about their future.
The girl who was promoted to a young lady happily put down the money in her hand. She turned her head and glanced at the sleeping man. For fear of waking him up, she walked quietly to the closet and took out her A small suitcase containing luggage, and a purse was pulled out from inside.
In her purse was the handkerchief that Chu Heng had given her. Wrapped in the handkerchief was the fifty-three yuan and twenty-six cents she had secretly saved.
After taking out the money and putting the handkerchief back into her purse, she returned to the table, put the two pieces of money into one piece, and then continued to count the tickets.
"One pound of food stamps, two pounds of food stamps..."
After a long time, the girl who finally finished counting began to worry about the money stamps and gold bars again. Ji, looking at the red sandalwood box with a sullen expression, feeling uncertain about where to put it.
With such old money, if it was robbed or caught in a fire, she would not be able to find a reason to cry.
The girl was thinking hard, her eyes suddenly lit up, she ran to the kitchen and found two aluminum lunch boxes.
She first put the gold bars into one lunch box, and then put most of the money bills into another. Only more than a hundred yuan and some daily bills were left in the red sandalwood box.
Immediately she ran to the outhouse with the lunch box containing gold bars, found a small shovel and squatted in the corner, sticking out her round buttocks to dig out bricks from the ground.
After digging for a long time, she dug out a brick, then put the lunch box in, covered it with the brick and covered it again, but no trace of it could be seen.
Hey, he is really a little expert at hiding money.
After finishing it, Ni Yinghong patted her dirty little hands with satisfaction, wiped herself and went back to the house to wash her hands, and then hid the other lunch box at the bottom of the wardrobe, with boxes and several pieces of clothes on top.
Very safe.
She put the red sandalwood box in the chest of drawers. From now on, this small amount of money will be the official property of her family, and she can take it as she wants.
Look at the girl, more than one hundred yuan has become a small change!
After struggling for so long, Ni Yinghong was a little tired, so she ran to the bed, pillowed on the man's chest, and closed her eyes happily with a beautiful longing for the future.
There is no need to worry about rice and firewood anymore, all that is left is to live a life without shame!
When the young couple slept like crazy until about three o'clock, there was a sudden knock on the door of their home.
“Dong dong dong!”
“Is Hengzi at home?”
The two of them were awakened at the same time, looked at each other, smiled at each other, and Chu Heng kissed him tenderly. He wiped the girl's white forehead, got up and went to the outer room to open the door.
"That master? Why are you here at this time?"
The person who came was Na Qingyuan. The old man looked like he was tired from work and hugged his fists apologetically: "I'm really sorry. The unit sent me Going to the countryside to collect items Go, I just returned to the city, I didn’t have time to catch up with your wedding.”
“No one is in a hurry. If you don’t catch up, you won’t catch up.” Chu Heng didn’t care. He smiled and let the old man in.
The two of them came to the back room. Ni Yinghong smiled gently at the old man: "Sit down, sir. I will cook for you and you and Chu Heng will have some drinks later."
She knew Na Qingyuan and knew that her man had a good relationship with him.
"Don't bother me. I'll sit down and leave in a moment." The old man waved his hand hurriedly. "Why are you leaving? You haven't even drunk the wedding wine yet. You must drink well today." He came here right after returning to the city. How could Chu Heng let him go? He turned to the girl and said: "Daughter-in-law, there is some mutton in the cupboard." , you go to Aunt Li’s house and ask for the stir-fried Xuelihong, that’s what I like to eat.”
“Oh.” Ni Yinghong responded with a smile and went to work.
“It’s too troublesome.” The old man said a little embarrassed.
"Okay, let's stop being so vain." Chu Heng handed the old man a cigarette, took out a lighter and lit it for him, got up and found two teapots. , put the tea leaves and water, put some "bang" in front of the old man, and said carelessly: "Don't dislike it, I'm not as elegant as you, just drink some."
"That's good." The old man smiled and took a puff of cigarette, and handed him the scroll he had been holding in his hand: "This is a gift for you, see if you like it."
"Oh. , then I have to take a good look." Chu Heng quickly took it with both hands, then got up and got a rag, wiped the table before spreading the painting.
This is a picture of Avalokitesvara giving birth to a child. The author is Huang Ding, a painter from the Qing Dynasty, and he was still in his later years. Realistic, a rare treasure.
Regardless of how much the painting is worth, the main reason is that the meaning fits the situation. Chu Heng looked at the painting with a smile on his face and kept nodding: "You are interested. Not only do I like this painting, my wife must also like it."
“Just do it if you like it.”
The old man smiled, picked up the teapot, took a sip, and then habitually started teaching on the spot.
While chatting, time passed quickly, and the nimble little girl Ni quickly prepared the meal.
The staple food is the two boxes of steamed buns left over from lunch, which can be eaten after being heated up. I made two dishes, one stir-fried with mutton and one with green onions and eggs. Chu Heng also opened a bottle of Moutai.
The treatment is quite good.
After eating and drinking, the old man said goodbye and left very wisely. He was a newlywed, so why are we, a veteran, causing trouble here?
Chu Heng politely sent the old man to the hospital. When he came back, he saw Ni Yinghong holding the picture of Guanyin giving birth to a child. She liked it very much and kept praising: "This painting is so good! It's so festive."
He glanced at the time, Seeing that it was already half past four, he said to the girl: "You take a rest at home. I will go to the work unit and come back after the handover."
Ni Yinghong quickly put down the painting, turned around and said: "Oh, you just After drinking, don’t go there. I’ll just go.”
It’s a bit cold outside today. Chu Heng felt sorry for his wife and waved his hands with a smile: “Nothing’s wrong. This little wine is like cold water to me. You can take care of yourself at home. I'll be back in a minute."< br>
Ni Yinghong also felt sorry for the man. She went up to him and pulled him, pressed him on the chair, and said stubbornly: "This is my job. What do you say? Just listen to me and sober up at home."
Chu Heng blinked and suddenly said: "How about we two come together? I happen to have free time today. After finishing my work, I went to watch a movie. I still have a lot of useless movie tickets."
Ni Yinghong was immediately stunned. My heart is moved, she likes watching movies.
So the two of them quickly tidied up, and the couple rushed to the unit.
Went to the place and chatted with the aunts for a while. After the handover was completed at five o'clock, the young couple got into the cinema.
We have just gotten off work, and there are not many people watching movies. There are only three or two kittens in the dark screening room.
Playing on the curtain is Ashima, one of Ni Yinghong's favorite films.
After the two of them came in, Chu Heng led her to sit in the last row very experiencedly. At this time, the cinema was not monitored and there were many things that could be done...
