Rebirth in the leisurely life of the red age

Xu Huizhen nodded thoughtfully when she heard the words, and then suddenly smiled and said: "If you can't buy or sell, you can't buy or sell. Anyway, the house is enough to live in now. Xiao'e, wait a moment..."

After saying that, she got up and went back to the bedroom. When she came out again, she had a jade bracelet in her hand and said with a smile: "It's not worth much to you, but your brother-in-law and I are not allowed to refuse!"

Lou Xiao'e took a look, stood up quickly and said, "Sister Huizhen, you still say it's not valuable. This jade bracelet is as bright as cut fat, warm and fine, and at first glance it is the best seed jade, not an ordinary mountain material. This is really not true!"

Li Yuan also blamed: "Sister Huizhen, I just brought a bag of apple snacks. You gave me such a big gift, which is better than what my mother gave me. Then who dares to accept it? You don't give it sincerely." , you have to give it sincerely, let Brother Cai make a jar of Erguotou, and Ezi and I can take it home and drink two more cups."

Xu Huizhen glared and said, "Young master, you are here to make a joke with me! Your sister and I have no biological family, and you are my biological family. What's wrong with giving my sister-in-law a bracelet?"

Seeing her like this, Li Yuan had no choice but to laugh with Cai Quanwu and said, "Brother Cai, look, you are getting serious with me!"

Cai Quanwu said with a smile: "The white head is as new and the top is as old as before, that's all. Yuanzi, listen to your sister. The most important thing in getting along with others is the heart, not this."

Li Yuan was not shy, nodded and said: "Let's do it."

Lou Xiao'e then thanked and accepted it, and then whispered to Li Yuan: "I want to give the music box to Jingli..."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Did you take it with you?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said: "Didn't you say you would take me fishing later? I thought about taking me with me to play, but now..."

But she didn't expect that Xu Huizhen would give her such a precious bracelet. Even in the Lou family's eyes, this bracelet was not a bargain.

She still doesn't understand Xu Huizhen's serious character. In Xu Huizhen's opinion, there is nothing more precious in the world than her child.

Li Yuan saved her little daughter last time, taught her such a valuable housekeeping skill, and used it. In return, a bracelet is really nothing...

But for Lou Xiao'e, she comes from a wealthy family and doesn't like to take advantage of others or owe others favors.

The reason why she proposed to use a more precious music box in return was not just for herself, but also to make her man look good outside!

The two did not avoid people when they were discussing. Although they didn't hear clearly, they guessed what was going on. Xu Huizhen said displeasedly: "Yuanzi, Xiao'e, what are you doing? Do you think this is a business? Are you really going to take it out today?" If you come with a gold and silver treasure, we won’t be able to have any contact with you in the future!”

Lou Xiao'e said hurriedly: "No, Sister Huizhen, I'm not giving it to you, I have a gift for little Jingli! Just a small thing..."

With that said, he walked to the door to get his bag, and took out a beautiful wooden horse music box from it.

Li Yuan said to Cai Quanwu: "Brother Cai, find Xiao Jingli and Xiao Jingping and see if they like it."

Cai Quanwu saw that the object was neither gold nor silver, just an exquisite wooden pony. He really thought it was just a gadget, so he happily went to the west wing and brought Xu Jingli, who Zhao Yali helped take care of.

Xu Jingping was still too young, and he was worried that his daughter would grind her teeth if she put that thing in her mouth.

When Xu Jingli arrived, Lou Xiao'e revealed her secret, twisted the spring under the wooden horse, and then let go, the crisp and sweet music sounded. Not to mention Xu Huizhen, Chen Xueru, and even Cai Quanwu were dumbfounded.

Xu Jingli, on the other hand, looked at the toy in front of her in surprise, her big eyes almost shining. When she took it, her expression was simply divine.

Seeing Xu Huizhen stepping forward to take it back, Li Yuan stopped in the middle of the way, said "Hey", and threatened with a smile: "Sister Huizhen, if you don't accept this, we won't be able to see each other in the future."

"..."

Xu Huizhen said anxiously: "Yuanzi, what are you talking about? Just give away such a precious thing to others?"

Chen Xueru was more knowledgeable, and said, "This is the music box, right? We don't have it in our country, it seems that only Switzerland has it! Good guy, this is worth several gold bars! Huizhen's bracelet is also valuable, but it's not as good as this one." . You can always find a lot of bracelets in these forty-nine cities, but this thing is really rare. Maybe it’s the only one."

Li Yuan glanced at her lightly and said: "What's the point of calculating these accounts? Besides, this is a small gift that Xiao'e's sister-in-law brought back from Hong Kong Island. It’s just too sentimental.”

This top-quality Hetian seed jade bracelet given by Xu Huizhen is still an old item. Fifty years later, more than 100,000 of these music boxes can be bought...

Hetian jade seed material is the original Kunlun Mountain material, which was brought into the river due to geological movement, washed into the middle and lower reaches of the Yulong River, and can only be formed after hundreds of millions of years of scouring by the river.

The raw materials are already very precious, let alone such an old item.

Of course, value cannot be calculated in this way, timeliness must be considered.

Seeing that even Cai Quanwu refused to let Xu Jing deal with it, Li Yuan asked Lou Xiao'e to put down the jade bracelet and leave.

In the end, both sides couldn't hold back, Xu Huizhen saw Li Yuan's young temper turned up, and Xu Jingli was also crying, so she had no choice but to let her daughter play with it.

However, he turned around and complained: "You guys are really going too far. It's really hard to give someone such a valuable gift."

Li Yuan said angrily: "Okay sister! This jade bracelet of yours will become more and more valuable in the future. It is an antique. Our music box is science and will only become less and less valuable in the future. According to this calculation, you can eat What a shame, I didn't say anything, so you still feel bad. Let me tell you, there is a third uncle in our courtyard, who looks exactly like the Mr. Pian'er you mentioned, and he is a very calculating person. At home, my son and I are very clear about every detail, and everyone laughs at his family, it’s so boring!”

Xu Huizhen said with a smile: "Master Pian'er knows very well that they all live a hard life. What's the matter, the third uncle of your courtyard didn't want to come and recognize his relatives?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "I came over to take a look. When I heard that he was a prankster, I turned around and went home."

Everyone laughed, Xu Huizhen said: "Although Mr. Pian'er is tight on money, he still has ancestral property. It's such a big yard."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Then we can't tell the third uncle, otherwise we will have to bite him and suck out the blood!"

At this moment, Chen Xueru had forgotten about the feud she had just stepped on. This was the first time she had seen a man who didn't care about money. The more he treated her like this, the deeper she sank in her heart. She looked at Li Li with bright eyes. Yuan asked for words: "Didn't you find a man last time and say that his father looks exactly like Lao Cai? Why is there no movement? What's going on in his family?"

Li Yuan didn't ignore him and said: "That's my buddy, his name is He Yuzhu, and his father's name is He Daqing. It is said that he looks exactly like Brother Cai. But he is much older. He should be in his forties this year."

Chen Xueru smiled and said: "Where is that person? I said we are really destined. Everyone I know around me looks the same!"

Lou Xiao'e glanced at her warily, but then thought again, she was pregnant, she must have been overthinking it...

Li Yuan chuckled and said: "He Daqing ran away with a widow from Baoding several years ago and went to raise their children. But the two biological children were left at home and left to fend for themselves."

Lou Xiao'e couldn't hold it back anymore and laughed softly: "It turns out that his son also fell in love with someone else's wife, and he stared at her every day..."

Chen Xueru was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, and then burst out laughing uncontrollably. She laughed so hard that tears came to her eyes...

Xu Huizhen was a little unhappy, knowing that what Chen Xueru was laughing at was not He Yuzhu, who was laughing at her, but her, because she was also someone else's wife...

Cai Quanwu felt calm and laughed at himself: "So, it's really possible that they are a family."

Chen Xueru said to Lou Xiao'e: "Sister Xiao'e, would you like to sit in my silk shop later? Although I don't have a bracelet, I still have two sets of clothes for you."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "Thank you, Sister Xueru. I really can't do it today. I will have something to do later. Next time, I will definitely go there next time."

After Li Yuan laughed for a while, he said goodbye to Lou Xiao'e and left.

After the couple were sent away and Cai Quanwu went to see the child, Xu Huizhen realized that Chen Xueru didn't go out to see them off just now. She asked curiously: "Why, seeing that his daughter-in-law is a rich young lady, you gave up in the face of difficulties?"

Chen Xueru sneered and said, "Will I retreat? Just wait and see!"

After that, he got up and went out.

Xu Huizhen asked in surprise: "Xue Ru, what's wrong with your legs? Why are you still limping?"

Chen Xueru gritted her teeth expressionlessly and said: "It's okay, my legs are numb after sitting for a long time! But it doesn't matter, I'm happy!"

…

"Yuanzi, I somewhat understand why you are so close to these people."

On the way back to her parents' home, Lou Xiao'e said with a smile while riding her bicycle.

The weather in Sijiu City in November has turned cold, and it is no longer suitable to go fishing at this time. It happened that Nie Yuanchao needed Lou Zhentao to say hello, and Lou Xiaoe also missed her mother's family, so the two went directly to Lou's mansion on Chengxian Street.

Seeing that Lou Xiao'e was happy, Li Yuan smiled and said, "If you like, keep in touch with her more. If you make more friends, your life will be much happier."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, but hesitated for a moment before carefully asking: "That Chen Xueru, does she... like you a little? Do you know her? Where is her man?"

Li Yuandao: "I'm really not familiar with this person. I haven't spoken to her very much, and I don't really want to get close to her. I always feel that she is not the same person as Sister Huizhen, and she is not the same person as us."

Lou Xiao'e heard the words and nodded repeatedly: "Yeah! I also feel that she is not the same as us. She is as fashionable as those women in Jiusheng Beach. She also permed her hair and wore a cheongsam..."

Li Yuan laughed and said: "With your family background, you should have seen this kind of dressing up a lot, right?"

Lou Xiao'e shook her head and said: "I saw not many when I was a child. Even if adults wear cheongsam, few dare to perm their hair like this. At that time, Sijiu City was not as good as those in Shenghai and Jinling..."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "That's right. When I was a child, everyone in my family wore homespun jackets and rag jackets in winter. Therefore, although people's destiny depends on personal struggle, they also have to consider the process of history. If it were not for New China, I would be a suburban man. How can a farmer from the countryside marry a rich girl from Lou Bancheng?"

"screw you!"

Lou Xiao'e was so amused that she still had a smile on her face when she entered Lou's house.

Looking at their little daughter who was so proud of the spring breeze, Lou Zhentao and his wife felt much better, and they greeted Li Yuan with more enthusiasm.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Ezi has been homesick for the past two days. It just so happened that I took her to the front door to meet some friends and have a meal together. When I came back, I turned this way to visit my parents... empty-handed Come."

Lou Zhentao said with a smile: "I don't need you to get that thing."

I felt a little regretful when I said this. If what I brought was the Shenglong Pill, it wouldn't be too much at all.

Great stuff, so exciting!

When Lou's mother took Lou Xiao'e upstairs to talk, Lou Zhentao pretended to pour tea for Li Yuan. Li Yuan stood up first with a smile, poured a cup of tea for each of them, took a sip and told all about Nie Yuanchao with a smile. , and finally said: "What my master's family means is that they are on the same line as Deputy Director Nie and will communicate. But they also want you to come forward and say hello to Nie Yuanchao."

Lou Zhentao nodded slowly and said: "Okay, it's time to say hello. This family is usually very low-key. Among the second-generation children I know, they are the most low-key. Of course, it may have something to do with not being directly related. But just me As far as we know, the care he received was no less than that of his direct relatives. It was his own choice. In his generation, he was very low-key. But he arranged his three children very well. This man is very smart. Looking at it now Come and love your children very much."

Li Yuan's tooth ached when he heard this, and he said speechlessly: "Isn't this unreasonable? His family has their own tricks... Of course, I don't want to have a relationship with a high-ranking family if they don't do that. I feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable. Freedom. But this is also the intention of Nie Yuanchao and his wife. Otherwise, why would they send their daughter to Hong Kong Island? Now that I am married, do you dislike me? "

But he didn't take it seriously, because except for the two days when he and Lou Xiao'e got married when he sent invitations to Nie Yuanchao, and felt waves of negative emotions from Nie Yuanchao and his wife Li Cuiyun, he didn't feel anything was wrong the rest of the time.

And the negative emotions I received at that time were not many...

I heard Lou Zhentao say in a deep voice: "How can such a person be reasonable? So, I still have to show up and talk things over. Moreover, I am not enough. Now is not the past. Nie Yuanchao may not give me this face. I have to find someone. Respectful friends come forward..."

Li Yuan almost laughed out loud. Does he have a friends series?

He asked: "Dad, where can I find such a significant friend?"

Lou Zhentao smiled: "Luckily, the friend who delivered the medicine last time has this weight. As long as he comes forward, the problem won't be too big. But I'm afraid I have to get two more Shenglong Pills."

Damn it, my father-in-law is such a bad guy!
