The Xia family had severed ties with him because of his remarriage.
But Xia Qing is Mr. Xia's only daughter. Their antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and a set of emerald heads and faces that have passed the Ming Road were left to Mei Ying and Liangzhou.
Lu Liangzhou said word for word, "My mother, these things have been appraised by experts and hold appraisal certificates, but now they are all fakes and almost worthless. Who can give me an explanation?"
Everyone in the living room was shocked.
Looking at Lu Liangzhou in disbelief, Zhang Zhen was the first to jump out, her voice trembling, "I swear, I have never touched these things. They were all placed in your dad's study. Later, if someone reported them, these things were confiscated. It’s been four years since I left.”
Shen Wan happened to come back with her kindergarten child, and was shocked when she saw this scene.
"Father, what's your opinion?" Lu Liangzhou asked calmly.
"...report the crime!"
"good!"
After Lu Liangzhou finished doing this, he went to the courtyard where he was staying temporarily.
This place is relatively close to the university. It was prepared for the two children at that time. Now, I don’t know when it will be used.
That woman once disliked farming the most, and more than once she clamored to go to the city, switch to farming, and eat commercial grain.
But now, Gu Mingtang actually said that he loved that black land deeply.
Lu Liangzhou found it funny.
He opened his suitcase. Inside were his things, a small clay figurine, a slingshot, a small wooden gun, and a lot of marbles and figurine books. He slowly closed the suitcase and put these in the corner of the house. It was said to be a lease, but in fact it was a sale, but private sales were not allowed in this area now, so I had to pay a deposit and wait a few years for the deal to be processed.
Standing in the yard, Lu Liangzhou looked into the distance in silence.
It didn't move for a long time.
…
In the blink of an eye, the New Year has passed. On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, according to custom, the house must be cleaned. These days, Lili has to go home to help with the work during the day and only comes to keep company at night.
After Gu Mingtang simply painted the kitchen wall with a layer of white ash, the whole thatched house was upgraded by half a level.
Lin Shulan came over and scolded her for messing around and spending some money. Sooner or later, this house will have to be rebuilt. Why did you paint it with white plaster and put up newspapers and lay red bricks on the ground?
I put down a curtain of frozen bean buns and walked around. I had to admit that after tidying up like this, the room looked bright and comfortable.
It's like a house where people in the city live.
When I go home later, I'm going to start putting up walls.
This year there won’t be as many bad things as in previous years, so we have to have a good New Year.
After Lin Shulan left, Gu Mingtang began to take inventory of his family's assets in the yard.
There are two large vats by the door. One contains half of the frozen steamed buns, frozen dumplings and sticky bean buns. In the other vat, there are more than ten kilograms of pork belly, all cut and put, and there is also pork liver that the brigade captain's wife secretly brought. Large intestine and two pig's trotters.
Eating fish during the Chinese New Year means having plenty every year.
This will have to wait until we go to the river to catch fish together tomorrow, and then each family will share one fish. However, there are still seven or eight kilograms of small miscellaneous fish caught by Gu Qingshan himself in the tank, which are all packed away.
Gu Mingtang plans to go to the city tomorrow to buy frozen pears and hawthorns to make candied haws for the two children.
There are four cans of malted milk at home now, which is enough for the children to drink for several months.
There are also orange petals, fruit candies, white rabbit white candies, canned fruits, bald cakes, chicken cakes, peanuts, etc... I have stocked up on a lot of delicious things without even realizing it.
There are also spiced melon seeds.
By the way, tomorrow I will also buy couplets with the word "Fu" hanging on them, firecrackers and flowers, and ice lanterns and red lanterns. Anyway, celebrating the New Year is very exciting.
But for Gu Mingtang, it is definitely novel.
In the kitchen, Gu Mingtang took a look at the stored grain. Except for the lack of rice, there was no shortage of anything else.
She planted a pot of soybean sprouts, and used a wooden trough to melt the soil. She planted rows of garlic on it, and green sprouts have appeared in the past few days.
Every morning when they get up, Lu Hui and Xue Yan check to see if the garlic seedlings have grown.
Also take a look at it before going to bed at night.
Because my mother said that when they grow taller, they will be given dumplings stuffed with garlic sprouts to eat.
Gu Mingtang was going to go into the space to get socks. There were a lot of wholesale socks in bags of ten pairs per bag. He took some out in advance and waited two days to put on other things and send them to Lin Shulan as a new year's gift.
She also just realized that Lin Shulan didn't even have a pair of socks.
As soon as I opened the door, I was almost blown away by the wind.
Damn it, everything was fine just now, why is there suddenly a strong wind?
He quickly entered the space and took out the things and put them in the cloth bag. Gu Mingtang entered the house. He could hear the howling wind outside all night. In the middle of the night, it started to snow heavily. The eye-opening north wind.
Even though it was almost noon, the sky was gloomy and the range that could be seen was only a few meters.
Originally, many people wanted to go to the county town together to buy New Year goods, but as a result, no one could leave.
I thought the heavy snow would stop the next day, but today it snowed even heavier than yesterday.
In the morning, the door was half blocked by heavy snow.
The snow is actually reaching the window sill.
Fortunately, he was strong enough to quickly shovel a path with a shovel. When he saw the roof, Gu Mingtang's heart sank. If this continued, the house would collapse.
When he was holding a ladder to remove the snow from the roof, Gu Quan came with Gu Qingshan.
We finally managed to clean up despite the blizzard.
But this method will have to be done tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, Gangzi stumbled in carrying a big basket on his back.
He hurriedly welcomed the person into the house, poured him hot water, and asked him to sit by the stove to warm himself.
After Gangzi recovered, he told Gu Mingtang that the snow on the road was up to people's knees, there was no car on the road, many telegraph poles had fallen down, and the snow was still falling, so even if they tried to repair it, they couldn't.
Gangzi wiped his face, started to take things one by one, and said, "Sister, I heard the weather forecast, it said that the snowstorm will not stop for the time being. Today is the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, so I will take it upon myself to help sister." I bought some things for the Chinese New Year, and yes, there are also candles. If I don’t fix them properly, the electricity will be cut off..."
Gu Mingtang looked at the thin young man with a complicated expression.
He was still wearing the shabby cotton-padded jacket, and the cotton sleeves were still exposed.
Regardless of the purpose, Gangzi did help her.
For more than ten miles, there was a snowstorm, one foot deep and one foot shallow, so you can imagine how difficult it was to walk.
I bought a lot of things, including couplets with the word "Fu" on them, big red paper, firecrackers and flowers, as well as frozen pears and frozen persimmons. At the bottom was a small aluminum stew pot, the kind that fits right on the stove. It actually contained eggs for a while.
"Sister, I will be able to collect these a year ago."
"Sister, it cost a total of thirty yuan."
Gu Mingtang knew that this boy probably didn't make any money from her.
After paying the money, Gu Mingtang asked tentatively out of instinct, "Gangzi, we are no longer strangers. Do you need my help in any way?"
