Chapter 6 Transfer


Chapter 6 Transfer

I didn’t have the slightest bit of impatience, and patiently responded to his every word of concern and nagging.

As the familiar radio music played, workers walked out one after another after get off work, and the silent factory door began to bustle. Suning had to say goodbye to the reluctant Mr. Fu with a smile.

Looking back at the figure who was still standing at the gate and refusing to go in first, I couldn't help but raise my hand and wave to him vigorously, then took a deep breath and stepped on the car to leave.

......

The Su family owned four properties in Beijing. In addition to the two courtyards, one large and one small, that were included in the dowry given to my mother by my grandfather, the large single-family bungalow where my grandfather lived during his lifetime was also included. , and another one is an old house near the suburbs.

Suning often visited this old house with her grandfather when she was a child.

Since her grandfather left, she has not been here for many years.

She didn't understand at that time, but now she understands why her grandfather has such deep and complicated feelings for a house.

My face is full of sadness, but I still come here again and again...

All because there are happy memories in the house, and the person who gave them happiness is no longer there.

"Xiao Ning'er, you must remember what grandpa said. Don't come here again without grandpa's company."

"Wait until Xiao Ning'er grows up and gets married before coming here. Look at grandpa and grandma here. You know where you can see us, right?”

“Xiao Ning’er, everything grandpa told you about the old house is a secret between us, even your mother. You can't even tell~"

"Little...Ning'er, protect...this little wooden whistle...No one can tell...No one can!"

...

After sniffing, Suning clenched the things in his hands, forcing back the tears that kept pouring out of his eyes.

After calming down, he went to the corner of the backyard and squatted down according to his memory.

It was already half past seven in the evening, it was completely dark in the morning, and the nearest house was several kilometers away.

Still looking back and forth uneasily, until she saw nothing and there was only the sound of insects all around, she lowered her head and started groping with her hands to count.

"5-2-9-9."

The numbers formed by special scratches on the large bluestone slab were tapped regularly with the fingertips.

With a click, the entire bluestone slab in front of me dented and turned into an underground entrance that could allow one person to pass through.

I didn’t rush in, but silently counted hundreds of times in my heart before I took out the wooden whistle like my grandfather did.

There is a very small and difficult-to-detect bump at the bottom of the wooden whistle. If you press it normally, there will be no reaction, but...

Place the wooden whistle horizontally, pull the bump and press it again. After two consecutive presses, the bumps will pop out into two flat keys.

Carefully combining the two keys into one, Suning inserted it into the hole at the entrance.

The dark entrance to the cave was suddenly lit up by pearly light, and a straight step down instantly appeared clearly in front of you.

The whole person walked down the steps, then stretched out her hand to turn the wooden whistle on the hole in the stone wall. When the bluestone above her head was closed again, the look on her face relaxed.

This underground dark room has several secret vents, so there is no feeling of lack of oxygen and stuffiness inside.

In addition to this only entrance, there is another one-way exit, which is connected to the bedroom of my grandparents.

The stone chamber of more than 200 square meters was divided into four areas. Each area was filled with large or small mahogany boxes, leaving only a cross-shaped aisle that was not very spacious.

Arriving to the left side first, Suning opened the outermost rows one by one, and the golden light almost dazzled her eyes.

Big yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, peanuts and melon seeds, twelve zodiac signs with the word "Fu"...

One hundred and fifty-five boxes of gold in different shapes!

Even Suning, who was never short of money, couldn't help but feel short of breath when he saw so many boxes of gold.

“Huh——”

“Put it away, put it into the Taoyuan space quickly!”

Looking at it one more time, she was afraid that she would have another one. The quirk of wanting to sleep with all kinds of gold on it. Inexplicably excited, I started to work as a porter until all the gold was collected into the space, and my heart was filled with an indescribable feeling of happiness.

"Keep going!"

Arriving above the area where the gold boxes were placed, Suning opened the outermost row first as usual.

If the gold just made her feel breathless, then the things placed in this area directly made her heart beat faster and her heartbeat was unstoppable.

All kinds of gems, jade, jade, pearls...

All kinds of steps, hairpins, jade pendants, bracelets, earrings...

Everything is so beautiful Got it!

Especially the complete set of heads and faces looks both shocking and fascinating.

......

There are two areas on the right, one filled with various porcelain antiques and solitary books. The other one is all rare medicinal materials that have been prepared and sealed with oil paper.

Hundreds of boxes were packed into the space and placed properly. Suning was paralyzed for ten minutes before regaining some of his energy.

I walked out of the darkroom without stopping and came to my grandparents' bedroom.

Looking around the room covered with white cloth, I thought that I was about to go to Shonan, and if nothing else happened, I would stay there for more than ten years.

Without any further hesitation, I put all the furniture and ornaments in the old house into the space.

The pointer on his wrist had reached nine o'clock. Suning knew that he could not stay any longer, so he had to leave in a hurry.

Hurrying slowly, it took more than an hour to return to the family compound of the steel factory.

When she opened the door panting and sweating profusely, Xu Zixin and Qian Huiru, who had been waiting for who knew how long, immediately stood up.

Xu Zixin's face was filled with worry and unconcealable anger, and the look in her eyes was extremely complicated.

"Where have you been so late?!"

"Old Xu!"

Qian Huiru pushed the person who was about to get angry with disapproval, "Ning Ning Your dad is so worried about you that he had two big blisters on his mouth that night.”

"Look at this guy who's sweating profusely? Have you eaten?"

"Quick, go wash up and change clothes first. I'll go and heat up some food for you first!"

Do it! Suning, who had been mentally building up all the way and had thought of his words early, went through it in his mind again and found nothing missing, so he explained, "Dad, I'm sorry for making you worry."

I found out There was something wrong with the graduation certificate that Yueyue brought back to me, so I rushed to find the teacher.

On the way back, I met an old man who had fallen. He lived far away and his children were not around, so I just sent him back after he got out of the hospital...that's it. ”

“What’s wrong with the certificate? Why not wait for dad to come back and find the person who helped before to deal with it? Do you have to drag your half-healed body around? "

Blinking her wet eyes, Suning pretended to be innocent and took out the graduation certificate in the canvas bag, "Didn't the teacher forget the seal..."

Took it from her smoothly Xu Zixin carefully looked at the seal on the certificate in her hand. The mark was very new and did not look like it had been done before.

In view of her image as a good girl, she never said panic, so she calmed down a little. Xu Zixin said earnestly.

"Ning Ning, dad is not against you doing good things, but rather than letting you be an upright and kind person, dad wants you to be safe, do you understand? ”

"Go on, listen to your Aunt Qian, take a shower, change clothes and eat something. I have to call your Uncle Fu to tell you that you are back and stop looking for me."

Nodding silently, Suning put the diploma he had placed casually on the table back into his bag again.
