After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Li Jiawei smiled and responded: "Brother, buying a house is important, but the family must also save some money. After all, Wenjun and Lele are still young, and living expenses and emergencies must be considered. How about this, I will lend you 4 million."

Li Chengwei looked at Li Jiawei, smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you, brother."

Li Jiawei waved her hands: "Why are you thanking me? You have been taking care of me since I was a child."

After Li Chengwei decided to buy the house, Li Jiawei called He Zhizhou at noon that day. With He Zhizhou as witness, Li Chengwei and the owner signed the purchase contract in the afternoon. Li Jiawei paid 8 million yuan in advance.

After returning home, Li Jiawei said to Li Chengwei: "Brother, you can take your time to sell this house. Don't be in a hurry. If you rush to sell it, you will be easily undercut by others."

Li Chengwei nodded and said, "I understand. Tomorrow I will take the purchase contract to withdraw the housing fund. Your sister-in-law will go to clean the new house first, and my parents will sort out the things at home. We will try to move into the new house next week, and then put this house on the real estate sales website."

Li Jiawei said, "Okay, then I'll come and help my parents pack up tomorrow and take care of the two little ones at the same time."

The next day, Li Jiawei arrived at Dongfang Jiayuan early. When she entered the door, she found that only Cheng Ping and Li Jianguo were at home, so she asked, "Dad, Mom, where are my brother and sister-in-law?"

Cheng Ping smiled and replied, "Your brother didn't even have breakfast. He got up, washed up, and went to work on the provident fund. Your sister-in-law went to clean the new house. Wenjun and Lele insisted on going with her, so your sister-in-law took them with her."

Li Jiawei smiled and said, "That's perfect. The house will definitely be messy when we clean up, and it's not safe at home. And without the two little ones here, we can clean up faster."

Cheng Ping looked at Li Jiawei with concern and asked, "You came so early, have you had breakfast?"

Li Jiawei smiled and replied: "I know I'm busy today, so I ate at the hotel. The hotel provides a buffet." As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and began to sort out the pile of clothes on the sofa, folding them one by one and putting them into the suitcase.

Although the house was not big, the belongings of six people soon piled up on the floor like a small mountain. Cheng Ping was especially reluctant to throw away anything, so she had more stuff.

Li Jiawei found a white and blue coat among her clothes. The white part had turned slightly yellow due to the erosion of time. Looking at the coat, she couldn't help but be a little absent-minded: "Mom, this is my junior high school uniform, why did you keep it?"

Cheng Ping glanced at the coat in Li Jiawei's hand and said with a smile, "This coat looks pretty good, and there's nothing torn about it. It would be a pity to throw it away."

Li Jiawei looked a little helpless as she stared at the school uniform. She couldn't help but feel that time was flying by, as if her junior high school days were still right before her eyes.

She folded the uniform gently and put it in her bag, saying, "Then I'll take this uniform with me."

Cheng Ping smiled and said, "Okay, you can take it away."

Just then, Li Jianguo moved out an old box from the small compartment where Cheng Ping lived. The box was old-fashioned and obviously quite old. The lock was broken and the zipper could only be pulled up halfway, and the rest could not be pulled up.

Li Jianguo asked Cheng Ping: "What's in here? Why is it so heavy?"

Cheng Ping glanced at the box and was slightly startled, then said: "These are all Jiawei and Chengwei's things."

Li Jiawei turned her head and looked at the box, and asked in confusion: "My and my brother's things? What are they?"

Cheng Ping smiled and said, "These are all things from your childhood. You will know when you open them."

Li Jiawei put down the clothes in her hands and squatted down. The suitcase was covered with a layer of dust from the years. She found a rag, wiped it carefully, and then opened the zipper with great effort.

Inside the box, the items were covered by an old piece of clothing. Li Jiawei looked at Cheng Ping and smiled, "Mom, you are quite good at keeping things."

She gently lifted the clothes and saw several glass jars, notebooks, certificates, trophies and other items neatly placed inside.

Li Jiawei was surprised to take out a bottle filled with colorful stars. She looked at Cheng Ping and said excitedly, "Mom, these are 666 stars I folded for my brother."

Li Jiawei clearly remembers that she folded these stars when Li Chengwei was preparing for the high school entrance exam. At that time, it was popular in school to fold stars with colored plastic tubes. Some people gave them to classmates and some gave them to friends. She also followed the trend and folded a glass bottle full of stars for her brother.

In the blink of an eye, nearly 20 years have passed. Unexpectedly, my mother still treasures these stars. They lie quietly in the glass bottle, isolated from the erosion of time, but still shine brightly.

Li Jiawei said happily: "When my brother comes back, I will show him these stars. I was so good to him back then. My hands were cramped from folding these stars."

The moment she saw the star can, Li Jiawei seemed to have discovered a new world. She sat on the ground excitedly and began to carefully look through the items in the box. There were more than 20 certificates in the box, most of which were from Li Chengwei, and she only had two: one was for "Excellent Hygiene" and the other was for "Best Composition".

Looking at these few certificates, Li Jiawei felt shy. Was she really a bad student when she was young? It seems that she was not that bad, right? Otherwise, she would not have been able to pass the college entrance examination.

Although the school is not very good, it is also a second-tier university.

Then, she picked up her piggy bank - two heavy glass bottles filled with coins, which were surprisingly heavy. The two glass bottles weighed more than ten kilograms. She had saved these coins bit by bit. She gently put the piggy bank aside and muttered to herself: "I have to take my piggy bank with me."

Next, there were the yearbooks left by her and her brother’s classmates when they graduated from junior high school and high school. Opening the two yellowed books, the names on them were still clear, but the corresponding memories had become blurred. After all, the siblings attended a school for children of migrant workers, and their classmates were very mobile. After graduation, most of them went their separate ways and it was difficult for them to meet again.

Li Jiawei put the yearbook into her handbag with deep emotion, wondering if she would be able to meet these classmates again in the future. Or are some people really gone once they leave, and she will never see them again?

Then there are several glass trophies and medals, which are the honors Li Chengwei received when he was in military school.

At the very bottom are her and her brother Li Chengwei's junior high and high school graduation certificates, as well as their old photo albums, each page of which carries the memories of the years.

Li Jiawei gazed at these items full of memories, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart, sometimes wondering where the time had gone? But looking at these items, it seems that she can get a glimpse of the traces of time she and her brother Li Chengwei have walked along the way.
