Infinite Doomsday: I rely on space to stock up and bully the scum
Chapter 48 Ancestral Treasures
The kids who were originally shopping listlessly immediately jumped up when they heard this!
"Great!"
"Grandma, take us to eat something delicious!"
According to his memory, Jiang Jiang brought everyone to Wang Ji Food Store in the town. This food store was a stall and was only open during market hours. Because of its low prices and good taste, it was loved by many villagers who came to the town for the market.
In the past, when Jiang Jiang brought Li Xu and others here, in order to save trouble, they would just order a bowl of plain noodles at most, and occasionally have two pancakes.
Jiang Jiang was a little different today, she ordered several dishes.
A pot of braised pork, a serving of fried pork with chili peppers, a serving of scrambled eggs with leeks, and a serving of bone soup.
The stall owner is honest and each dish comes in a full bowl.
The whole family ate the food until their bellies were bloated and the children couldn't stop burping.
"Don't overeat, kid. We can take the leftovers home for our next meal."
Huang Ying couldn't help but mutter when she saw Li Yuanchang hiccuping.
Li Yuanchang touched his bulging belly without saying a word. Whatever goes into his stomach is his. Who knows when the next time he will be so full will be.
After finishing the meal, Jiang Jiang went to pay the bill, which amounted to one hundred and seven cents. This price made several people feel shocked.
so expensive.
Li Xu and Li Sheng smacked their lips, as if they were still savoring the delicious taste of the braised pork. They secretly planned that next time they came to the town, they would just order a meat dish and let their mother and children taste it, and they would just have some pancakes to make do.
Jiang Jiang, who had no idea what her two sons were thinking, paid for the meal and took everyone away. Before leaving, she packed a few egg pancakes to eat in the evening.
"Li Xu, Li Sheng, and Cuicui, come here. Huang Ying, Qiaoqiao, please take good care of the children." Seeing Jiang Jiang acting mysterious, the children also became nervous.
Mom, is there something wrong with you looking for them?
Jiang Jiang called the three children aside and said, "Do you think I suddenly spent a lot of money today and it's not like my usual self?"
Even though Li Xu and Li Sheng thought so in their hearts, they did not dare to show it on their faces and shook their heads frantically.
Li Cuicui nodded honestly, "Mom, you are usually the most frugal person in the family, reluctant to eat or wear. I think it's pretty good now."
Jiang Jiang knew that she needed a reason for this change. The children listened to her, but she couldn't just tell them nothing.
"My grandchildren are growing up, and Cuicui is getting married soon. After what happened yesterday, I'm afraid I won't know when I will pass away, leaving you all behind."
When Jiang Jiang mentioned what happened yesterday, the three children remained silent. It was obvious that they were all frightened by the original owner's fainting.
"So, I won't hide it from you. Your grandmother used to be a maid in a wealthy family. After the family fell, she married your grandfather."
The original owner seldom mentioned her grandmother and grandfather in front of her children. They only knew that when she was young, she followed her parents to escape to Daxi Village and married Li Ming, a wealthy man in the village, because of her outstanding looks.
Unfortunately, his grandmother and grandfather were injured while fleeing and died shortly after Li Xu was born.
"Your grandmother left me a pair of glass beads. I thought I'd take them to town to pawn them today. The money will be used to help Dongliang and Yuanchang go to school. Of course, Laibao will also go in a few years."
So that’s how it was. The mysteries in the children’s hearts were all solved.
No wonder mother's behavior today was so abnormal. On the one hand, it was because of yesterday's incident and her mentality changed. On the other hand, for the sake of these disappointing children, mother wanted to pawn the treasures left by her grandmother so that the children at home could go to school.
Li Xu and Li Sheng were very touched. They were both fathers of several children and their eyes were filled with tears.
Jiang Jiang couldn't stand two grown men crying in front of him, so he stopped them immediately.
"And Cuicui, you are already fifteen, and it is time for you to find a husband in the next few years. Mother also wants to prepare a generous dowry for you."
Li Cuicui, who was still not very open to the matter of love, hugged Jiang Jiang and started to act coquettishly: "No, no, mother, I still want to stay at home for a few more years."
Jiang Jiang was just saying this casually. After all, they would have to flee the famine in a few months, so they didn't have time to care about the relationship.
"Mom, what do the glass beads left by grandma look like? Are they rare treasures like what is described in the storybooks?" Li Xu was a little curious, and the other two also looked at Jiang Jiang eagerly.
"Well, you'll know when you come with me to the pawn shop later." Jiang Jiang planned to take the children to the pawn shop together. He would not hide the amount of money from them, and they would have a clear way to buy various foods in the future.
It would be better to let them all go, so that no one would have any grudges in their hearts. Money can move people's hearts, and Jiang Jiang must eliminate any factors that may destroy unity.
"You two go talk to your wives and ask them to find a place to rest with the children. We'll go and get things done later."
Li Xu and Li Sheng nodded, then turned around and went to explain the situation to their wives.
Huang Ying and Sun Qiaoqiao were very surprised. Naturally, they would not refuse the benefits that came to their doorstep. They repeatedly told their men to be careful along the way.
In the afternoon, the sun came up.
The people walking in the sun felt dry mouth, sweaty, and their throats were about to smoke.
"We're here, Liu's Pawnshop." Li Xu stood at the door of the pawnshop and pointed at the plaque above his head.
This pawnshop is the only one in the town. At the same time, the largest jewelry store and cosmetics shop in the town are owned by the same owner.
As soon as I walked into the pawnshop, the temperature dropped significantly and there was a slight chill.
Jiang Jiang took a look and was surprised to find that there was a piece of ice in the room. No wonder it was so cool.
"Young man, your pawn shop is really rich. You even keep ice in the room."
The young waiter who was welcoming guests was a little embarrassed and said quickly, "How can we use ice? It's because the head shopkeeper came to the store today that we put ice in. We are enjoying it too."
"I wonder what you are here to pawn?"
The young man did not forget his duties and asked quickly.
"Since your shopkeeper is here, this is a treasure of mine, a pair of rare glass beads. The price would be unjustified if it were low." Jiang Jiang said mysteriously, taking out a small box from his arms.
Although the guy was young, he still had a good eye. He saw that the box was very exquisite. Although the wood was ordinary, the workmanship was very good. He immediately became curious about what was in the box.
"Aunt, you know that nine out of ten people who come to the pawnshop will brag that their things are treasures. You have to show them to me first, and then I can find fault with the shopkeeper."
After hearing this, Jiang Jiang just smiled and opened the box.
