When Father Xiao came back, it would be almost dawn, but once things entered the house, he would not be afraid. With the help of the light, Xiao Dashan hit the lock with an ax with trembling hands, slowly opened the box, and a golden light shone on him. Xiao Dashan closed the eyelids and the rows of gold ingots on it with a bang. He limped and ran towards each other quickly, locked the yard again and again, went back to the house, closed the door again, and plugged it in. Yes, patted the chest, waited for a while, and then slowly opened it again.

He carefully took off the upper layer of gold ingots, and another layer at the bottom. He took down three layers, and the bottom turned into a jewelry box. He opened it carefully, and there were all kinds of gold and silver jewelry and jewelry. His heart beat twice quickly, and he closed the jewelry box. Underneath was a layer of calligraphy and paintings wrapped in layers. He didn't know how to read, so he didn't open it, but it was a good thing to think about.

Below the calligraphy and painting is a family tree and a letter. It turned out that this was a gift from a senior official of the Ming Dynasty to his children after retiring from his old age and returning to his hometown in order to avoid the struggle between the princes. Unfortunately, he did not escape this. This disaster affected more than 120 members of the family, and all of them died tragically. Before he died, he gave the key to the most loyal old servant, but after the old servant buried the master's house, he left letters and things and smashed his head against the tombstone.

Xiao Rui admired such a person very much. He said in the letter that he would leave it to someone who is destined. In his previous life, he probably got it from the hero. He read the words in the letter to Father Xiao in a low voice, and he was relieved.

Come to think of it, this old elm tree was originally the place where the high official hid his treasures, but with the passage of time, this place has become a village.

Xiao Dashan watched, and suddenly burst into tears, sobbing softly, the hardships of life made this man lose all confidence, he could only anesthetize himself with alcohol.

"Father, why are you crying? Our life will get better and better in the future." Xiao Rui hugged his shoulders, and he held the child's hand with red eyes, "Xiao Rui, who is talking bad about you, Dad Just beat him to death. Dad is sorry for you, and I have resentment towards you. I really think those people are right, you are a bastard. Not only the house is gone, but your mother is still working outside alone, and she dare not come back, so she can only leave Without us, she can earn money."

"Father, I don't blame you. You can keep me at home and take care of me all the time. And mother, mother is so miserable and tired outside. Father, let mother come back. Now we have money." Xiao Rui supported him, the two looked at the rising sun outside, Xiao Dashan felt that he was alive again, he couldn't wait to see Lian Zhi, wanted to see her.

"Xiao Rui, I'm going to find your uncle right now, and I'm going to see your mother." Xiao Dashan said eagerly, holding Xiao Rui's hand.

"Well, dad, you go, go and bring mother back, I'll wait for you at home." Xiao Rui said seriously.

"Okay, okay." With red eyes, Xiao Dashan asked Xiao Rui to help him hide the box, and told him not to go out and watch at home. It happened that Xiao Rui didn't want to go to school today, so he nodded seriously.

Xiao Dashan couldn't wait until dawn, so he put on his clothes and went into the city to find Xiao Rui and his uncle's family.

As soon as Xiao Rui packed his things, he heard the movement of the bullock cart, and knew that Brother Gangzi was back. He opened the door and walked out, "Brother Gangzi, are you back?"

"Well, come in quickly." Gangzi didn't go home, he ran directly to Xiao's house, he pulled Xiao Rui in, and closed the door of the house.

"Xiao Rui? Where's your father?" Gangzi asked eagerly.

"My father has news about my mother and has entered the city." Xiao Rui directly explained the reason, otherwise they would still be curious when mother came back.

"Really, that's great, Xiao Rui, here it is. This is the money for selling wild boars. It's 220 yuan in total. Get it soon. I went just in time. The owner of the Red Star Hotel just happened to collect the pigs. I heard they were wild boars. All of a sudden." It's coming."

Gangzi carefully took out a handkerchief from his arms, opened it, and the rolls inside were exactly two hundred and twenty yuan. He stuffed it into Xiao Rui's hand, and told him, "Xiao Rui, I will give it to your father when I get back. Put it away, don't go to school today."

"Brother Gangzi, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere today, just at home, just in time to review my homework." Hearing Xiao Rui's obedient appearance, he couldn't help grinning, "Okay, then I'll go back."

"Thank you, Brother Gangzi." Xiao Rui sent him out of the gate. Good people in Gangzi's family are rewarded, and Xiao Rui sent their family good luck. From now on, their family can only live as long as possible.

Xiao Rui put the money in the old bedside cabinet by the bed and didn't bother with him anymore. He thought about it. After his father and mother came back, he would also go to the city to deal with some gold ingots, so that the family could A new house has been built, and he is not going to let Father Xiao redeem that house. It has been so many years, and the house is no longer new. Even if it is redeemed, they still have to move, so it is better to build a new one here.

Xiao Rui saw that it was already dawn, so he got up and went out. In the yard overnight, new shoots had sprouted on the old tree next to him, and the half-dead look was gone, and even the dry well in their house was humming. , Xiao Rui walked over, the bottom of the well was crystal clear, and a trace of clear water came out, maybe soon, their family would not have to go to the small river to carry water.

Xiao Rui simply tidied up the yard. The small garden that his mother used to live in was also sorted out. He planned to use it to grow vegetables. Hehe, you must know that in his previous life, he was a master who could grow holy plants. Tilt up and entertain yourself.

In a day's work, the courtyard of Xiao's family has changed completely. Xiao Rui erected the fence again. There are many bamboos on the back hill. He tidied it up bit by bit, re-enclosed the yard, and removed the weeds in the yard. Go, sow vegetable seeds in the small garden, think about it, in a few days, he will be able to eat green vegetables.

Xiao Rui straightened up, the day was almost night, Father Xiao hadn't come back yet, the sun in the sky left only a trace of gold, Xiao Rui was quite satisfied with the results of the day.

Under the old tree in the yard, the stones he moved down from the mountain were organized into stone tables and benches by him. The small garden has been fenced and a small gate has been opened. The broken barrel by the well has been taken by him. Throw it away and replace it with a wooden barrel that he sharpened himself.

The gate of the yard was replaced with a red maple tree he cut down from the mountain, and the gate was made of red with the unique texture of the tree, giving it a simple and simple feeling.

At this moment, Miss Vanilla called him from outside the fence, he pushed open the door and walked out, "Sister Vanilla, what's the matter?"

"Xiao Rui, it's so beautiful. You made it? You've been busy all day, and you've been cleaning up inside and out. Here, my mother asked me to give it to you. It's been a day, and I can't stop eating. .”

Vanilla smiled, took out two nests from the basket, and handed them to him. Xiao Rui took them with a smile, "Sister Vanilla, thank you." She couldn't help but patted his head.

"Your father hasn't come back yet?"

"No, but I should be back soon." Xiao Rui was talking, when he saw two figures on the road outside the house, one of them was limping, and he started shouting when he was more than two meters away from the house.

"Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui, we are back." Xiao Rui blinked, and saw a weathered and tired woman, her face could still see the beauty of her youth, she smiled gently.

"Xiao Rui, mother is back."

"Mother, mother, you are back." Seeing the person in front of him, Xiao Rui stretched out his hand, took her scarred hand, and touched it carefully.

"Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, child, are you okay." She carefully stretched out her hand, and finally touched her son's face. Her eyes were red, and finally she hugged her son and began to cry.

"Mother, don't cry." Xiao Rui also felt sorry for her. For the sake of this family, this woman would rather bear a bad reputation and save money outside and leave the money to the children.

"Lianzhi, don't cry, oh." Xiao's father stepped forward and put his arms around his wife's shoulders. He was incompetent, he was useless, and he wanted his wife to find a way to go out and earn money.

It turned out that after the house was cheated, the two wanted to redeem the house, but they couldn't do anything. Lianzhi was so angry that he quarreled with him and went back to her natal home. Unexpectedly, the few days she was helping at her natal home were down. After earning money, when she returned home happily, she still couldn't do it.The two of them hugged each other outside and cried all day, Xiao Dashan cried out in pain, "I admit it, I admit it in this life."

But life is still going on, the two of them really have nothing to do, they happened to be recruiting outside, and she bit the bullet and followed. Unexpectedly, after saving the money, she held the money and burst into tears. From then on, she hardened her heart, She never went home again, she saved up a little bit of money, and asked her brother to bring it back for her.

She also knew Xiao Dashan's hard work, but he couldn't do anything. She also knew about the rumors in the village, but the son belonged to them. She gritted her teeth and sent a letter to Xiao Dashan, fearing that he would lose the child. Later, His leg was limping, she rushed to him, Xiao Dashan held the money in his hand, said nothing to cure him, she looked at him helplessly, and went home.

Xiao Rui grows up day by day, she can only go back to see him secretly, shed tears secretly, no mother doesn't want to have children, but if she can earn money this way, she is willing, even in this life, their family can only do this She is willing to live.

The three of them leaned on each other and entered the house. No one came to disturb them at this time. Even Gangzi's family who got the news was stopped by Gangziniang.

"Mother, I won't leave this time. I know that you are all for me, but now we have money, and mother, our family has changed." Xiao Rui opened the bed cabinet, took out the two hundred and twenty yuan, and handed over In his mother's hands.

Lian Zhi held the money, eyes red, and burst into tears, as if to cry out all the grievances of these years.

Xiao Dashan's eyes were red, patter!Slap!Weeping, who knows how bitter and difficult they are.
