Leftover Girl's Neverland

Chapter 263 Bracelet ([-])

"Auntie, who was that person just now? Why does it look familiar to me?"

Meng Zhen went up to the second floor with his aunt. She sat down on the sofa and asked suspiciously.For some reason, she felt an inexplicable uneasiness when she saw that person's back, as if something was about to happen.

"Oh, hehe, it's nothing, it's a relative from my hometown." The aunt paused, then smiled and made tea and fruit for Meng Zhen, "Oh, come on, it's been a month since I saw you, let my aunt take a good look! "

"Auntie, what are you talking about, why didn't you tell me the last time my cousin got married?"

Seeing that my aunt didn't seem to want to talk, Meng Zhen changed the subject.

"Hehe, didn't you make sure when you came last time?" Auntie mentioned her son and daughter-in-law with a satisfied expression on her face, "Oh, these two children come out at the same time. How did I Said that they didn't let go. In the end, I stopped urging them, but instead they were arguing about getting married."

"Oh, that's right," Meng Zhen smiled along with her aunt. She remembered the gift she brought, and hurriedly took out an exquisite jewelry box from her bag, "Here, aunt, this is for you!"

"Look at you kid, you bring something every time you come here, come here, let me see, what good things did you bring to my aunt this time?" My aunt was not polite either, and the relationship between her and Meng Zhen was put here, too polite would hurt After touching the child's heart, she found a jewelry box, opened it, and saw a pair of emerald green jade bracelets, and her face suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Why, auntie, you don't like it?"

Meng Zhen finally found out that something was wrong with Auntie, she seemed to be hiding something from him.

"Oh, no, no," my aunt took out a bracelet and put it on her hand, a warm and cool feeling came from her wrist, "Well, that's great, my aunt likes it very much!"

"Auntie?"

Seeing that my aunt still didn't want to say anything, Meng Zhen suppressed her smile and asked seriously: "Is something wrong, please tell me!"

Seeing that Meng Zhen's attitude was very persistent, the aunt thought that Meng Zhen had something to do with this matter, so she put the bracelet back into the box, sighed and said, "Oh, it's not a big deal, it's the person you saw just now. Inquire about the jade bracelet in our family."

"Our family's jade bracelet?" Meng Zhen's heart trembled suddenly, she pretended to be surprised and said: "The one left by grandma for you and mother, right?"

My aunt nodded. After the bracelet was broken, she was very distressed at the time, but after a long time, she forgot it. No matter how good the thing is, it will be broken if it is broken. Ask about the whereabouts of the bracelet.

"But our bracelets are all broken. Is there any secret?"

Meng Zhen only knew that this bracelet was passed down from her grandma, but she didn't know the origin.

"I don't know the details." My aunt thought for a while and decided to tell Meng Zhen, "The person who came just now is a relative of my great-grandmother. Your mother and I will call her the second aunt, but since the death of my great-grandmother, , the relationship between the two families also faded. A few days ago, she came to me suddenly and asked me if the bracelet given by my great-grandmother was still there, and she wanted to sell it. I said, the bracelets left by my great-grandmother were given to Me and your mother, but both have been broken by accident. But she just doesn’t believe it, either let me take out the bracelet, or take out the pieces, but the pieces—”

Meng Zhen nodded, "The fragments are with me. But why does she want this pair of bracelets so much? Is there some secret hidden inside?"

My aunt was also confused, and she smiled wryly: "Oh, I don't know, my mother didn't say anything when she left it to us, she just said that it was a good thing passed down from the ancestors, and it was only passed on to the daughter. From the great-grandmother to us, it has been passed down. Five generations. When Aunt Mou came that day, I also asked, but every time she mentioned this, she refused to talk about it. He just came to pester him every day to buy a bracelet. Today, he is even more bachelor, and he still talks about his ancestors. She also has a share in things, and her grandma is also the daughter of the great grandma. Oh, I have to help my cousin get married here, but she comes to pester me every day, and I am almost annoyed to death. "

"If her grandma was grandma's daughter, why didn't it be passed on to her at that time?"

"Tch, what kind of daughter is she? She was born to the little wife, not grandma's biological daughter at all, otherwise the bracelet would have been given to her when she got married."

"Oh, that's right. Apart from this pair of bracelets, did your great-grandmother pass down anything else?"

Meng Zhen was dazzled by these grandparents and grandparents, she just wanted to know if it was the purpose of this Second Aunt Mou.

"Well, let me think about it," my aunt closed her eyes and thought back. When she was a child, she seemed to have heard it from her grandma when she went back to her hometown, but she was too young at the time and her memory was very vague. , the family is a high-ranking official in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. When she got married, she had a lot of dowries. It can’t be said that the ten-mile red makeup is the same. In addition to the fields, Zhuangzi and shops, there are also a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. This pair of bracelets was also her dowry back then. ... Enen, by the way, she seems to have kept a jade pendant, I heard that this bracelet was carved out of the same jade, but when we separated, the jade pendant disappeared..."

My aunt's memory was very vague, and after talking intermittently for a long time, Meng Zhen still couldn't figure it out.The second aunt Mou is so good, why does she have to ask for the bracelet? My aunt explained that it was broken, and she didn't let it go, as if it was very important to her.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing." When my aunt and Meng Zhen went downstairs to move things, they saw the comic posters hanging outside the bookstore opposite, and suddenly remembered an interesting story, "That great-grandmother liked the country very much. She used to In her own villa, she built a holiday villa with mountains, water and lake fields. It was built like a fairyland. I helped her draw a picture of Zhuangzi, and buried her in the coffin together."

"Oh, hehe, this old lady is quite interesting, very interesting!"

Meng Zhen seemed to have thought of something, but the light flashed in her mind so fast that she didn't catch it for a moment.At this time, two busy couples had just returned from the photo studio to take their wedding photos. Seeing their cousin coming, they rushed over to say hello.Meng Zhen also put these trivial matters behind her, alas, this Aunt Mou made her feel uneasy, it would be good for her to stay away, anyway, she doesn't live in Shangcheng County.

After thinking about this, Meng Zhen cheerfully helped his aunt.My cousin's wife is a college classmate of his. When he and his cousin came to the county, they seemed quite emotional. Later, they saw that the wedding room and fruit and vegetable shop that my aunt bought for my cousin were very ideal, so I stopped arguing to go back.

Now I see that my wedding is well organized, and the cousin from Quancheng even brought a lot of things, many of which are not often seen in her hometown: high-quality saffron, hairy crabs weighing one catty, and baskets The fruit and pheasant eggs, but the mother-in-law looked so commonplace, which shocked her initial arrogance, and gradually put away her arrogance, and became a little closer to her mother-in-law.

Also happy was my aunt. Meng Zhen gave her a pair of jade earrings as a gift. Although not as grand as my aunt's bracelet, it was still very valuable.The next day she got it, she went to the largest jewelry store in the county for an appraisal. The appraiser said that it was some kind of A-grade product, and that this small pair of earrings could sell for thirty to forty thousand yuan.Be good, three or forty thousand, not three or four hundred or three or four thousand, wearing tens of thousands of jewels, she also feels that her class has improved, and Meng Zhen's eyes are very kind.

Faced with his little aunt's eagerness, Meng Zhen didn't feel disgusted.Compared with Aunt Meng, her little aunt's stinginess is not so disgusting to her.When my mother was sick, my uncle took my mother home several times to take care of her. Without the support of my aunt, the uncle who has always been honest and afraid of his wife would do well to take care of my mother once.Although compared to my aunt, my aunt seems to be a lot of philistines, but compared to Aunt Meng, my aunt's performance can make her feel the existence of family affection.So, just for this, she will repay her uncle and aunt well.

After two busy days, my cousin's wedding was very grand, and my sister-in-law's family was very satisfied with such a luxurious wedding banquet in a small county town.

After the lively wedding, the young couple also embarked on a journey to Sanya for their honeymoon.Meng Zhen went to the house of his good friend Zhang Xiaobei, and also went to see Aunt Meng and her old neighbor.

After sending out more than N vegetables and fruits, Shanzhuang urged her to call once a day, which also made her want to go home as soon as possible.After agreeing with my aunt when to go home, she went to see her mother again, burned the paper in front of her mother's grave, and said what was in her heart before returning to her aunt's house.

When she came to the entrance of the supermarket, Meng Zhen saw a familiar figure from the back in the fruit and vegetable store. She stood outside the window and thought for a long time without remembering it, so she raised her leg and walked in.

The fruit and vegetable store was opened by my aunt for my cousin, and the cousins ​​usually take care of it by themselves. Now that they are on their honeymoon, my aunt transferred a salesperson from the supermarket to help look after the store. I know Meng Zhen, so I didn't say hello to her.

"Little girl, we have quite a variety of fruits. I think most of them are from the south. Did you airlift them from the south?"

It was Meng Zhen who was asking the question, looking at the familiar back. Meng Zhen leaned aside and looked at it. This woman was about 40 years old, not tall, and about the same size as herself. She was wearing a floral silk shirt with a black long skirt underneath. Trousers, a pair of brown leather shoes on the feet, and the accent does not sound like a local.

"No, we have a special purchase channel, I heard that the boss sister shipped it!"

The little girl looks about seventeen or eighteen years old, and there are some local accents in Mandarin.

"Hey, isn't that right, I seem to have heard that your boss is an only child, where is the older sister?"

"Well, it seems to be my cousin, the sister of the boss's aunt's family. I don't know the details. Auntie, do you want to buy it?"

The little girl was a little impatient at being asked, so she asked with a smile on her face.

"Buy, hehe, I just want to ask clearly, you see that the fruit in your store is not cheap. Am I afraid of buying fake ones? Hey, little girl, is your boss's cousin in Quancheng?"

The woman smiled, took a few bunches of lychees and put them on the electronic scale, and continued to ask.

"It seems so, I have only been here for a few days."

The little girl weighed her with her mouth pouted, and scolded in her heart: I'm so disgusted, I bought lychees for a few yuan after asking for a long time.

"Okay, thank you little girl!"

The woman didn't seem to see the little girl's displeasure, and still paid the money in a good temper. When she went out, she looked at the shelves full of southern fruits strangely. Lied to me that the bracelet was broken..."

Uh, don't say anything, cover your face and beg for votes!
