Dressed as a farm girl, she randomly cheats and makes the whole family happy

Chapter 73 The letter left behind



There were also more than a dozen handwritten books, and Mr. Zhao opened them one by one and looked at them.

"It's my grandfather's and my father's handwriting."

"There are two more books inside that should belong to my uncle."

The Zhao family has been relatively small for several generations, with previous generations having only two children.

Things got better in Mr. Zhao's generation, but Mr. Zhao's eldest brother married a daughter-in-law and left home to do business elsewhere.

It used to be fine before, but I suddenly lost contact with her three years ago, and I never received a letter from my eldest brother again.

Thinking of his eldest brother, Mr. Zhao felt worried and missed for a while, and he didn't know how his eldest brother was doing.

Zhao Changan leaned forward and looked inside.

"Grandpa, please move your books and brushes away."

"I see there's a small box down there."

"There are still boxes?"

Without letting Mr. Zhao do anything, Mr. Zhao moved the bottom book.

Several brushes were still brand new, with no trace of use, and they were carefully placed elsewhere by Boss Zhao.

There is a bulge below, but it is not a separate small box, but a hidden compartment in the big box itself.

Boss Zhao felt around, found a hidden button, and pressed it gently.

click.

A crisp sound.

The originally fixed secret compartment at the bottom was loosened, and a box was pulled out from the side.

Inside the box was a purse, bulging with stuff.

Boss Zhao shook his head, the weight was not light.

"Boss, open it and take a look."

Boss Zhao joked: "This looks like a woman's purse filled with silver. Isn't there money in it?"

Unzip the string of the purse and unfold the cloth on the surface.

There is so much money inside!

"Is it really money!?"

Boss Zhao held the hot hand and quickly handed the money to Mrs. Zhao.

"You, you take it.

"

Mrs. Zhao was also shocked, she didn't expect so much money to be left.

In fact, the Zhao family's ancestors were wealthy before, but in Mr. Zhao's grandfather's generation, they suddenly switched from farming and doing business to studying.

The men studied and took the scientific examinations, and the land was gradually sold to other families.

It takes a lot of money to support a scholar. Normal books, pens, and ink cost a lot of money every month.

What's more, all the children and grandchildren of the Zhao family are studying, and they spend more and earn less. Gradually, the Zhao family becomes poor.

Mr. Zhao's eldest brother didn't like to study and preferred to do business. After a few years of trouble at home, he finally went out to do business.

When Mr. Zhao's parents were still alive, his eldest brother would send a lot of money to his family every year.

Since his parents passed away, Mr. Zhao has confiscated the money sent by his elder brother.

Mr. Zhao: "My father and mother are both frugal. They are reluctant to use the money that my eldest brother sends back every year."

Mrs. Zhao poured out the silver, and folded paper fell out.

"Old man, my father and mother left a note, please take a look."

Mr. Zhao opened the note and there were beautiful calligraphy on it.

Mr. Zhao knew at a glance that it was made by his father.

"Well my son."

"Haha, this is a little surprise left by your mother and I."

"We deliberately hid the box and put a stone on it. I hope you can notice this strange stone soon."

"You can use whatever's inside as you wish."

"You don't have to leave it for your brother, we left something else for him."

"In the hut where the firewood is kept, there is a strange rock that protrudes from under the firewood pile. If you dig it out, there will be a box for your eldest brother."

"By the time you see it, your mother and I have already

It has been buried. "

"My child, I hope you are safe and well."

"Don't read it.——Zhao Huaikai."

Mr. Zhao read the letter quietly, his voice gradually getting choked up.

A few tears fell on the paper.

Mrs. Zhao was also filled with emotions.

"When my father and mother were alive, they liked to create surprises. When they gave us small gifts, we had to guess riddles to get them."

“I didn’t expect it would leave us such a big surprise in the end.”

As she said that, Mrs. Zhao also blushed, remembering the days she spent with her father-in-law and mother-in-law. Although the Zhao family was small at that time, it was not deserted and boring at all.

My parents-in-law are really interesting people.

Among the juniors present, only Zhao Changfu had seen Taizu and Taizu Nai. He remembered that he would often conjure up all kinds of delicious old men and women like magic.

He always had a kind smile on his face.

The atmosphere is nostalgic and sad.

Father-in-law and mother-in-law were immersed in longing for each other, and He Sutong eased the atmosphere.

"Mom, dad, let's go burn incense to grandpa and grandma tomorrow."

"Now we can have meat at home, let's go together and buy fresh tributes tomorrow."

"Yep."

Mrs. Zhao cheered up and said, "Our whole family will go tomorrow!"

Mr. Zhao suggested, "Go and see your parents too."

Mrs. Zhao regained her smile and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look."

The elders of both families are buried on the mountain, not far apart from each other. They are all carefully selected locations.

The atmosphere became lively again. Zhao Yicha lay down beside the table where the silver was poured, looking at the silver on the table with bright eyes.

"Grandma, how much silver is there?"

"Is it enough for us to build a house?"

Only then did Mrs. Zhao think of this. There was so much money on the table. Mr. Zhao

Counted too carefully.

"Eighty taels!"

"Dad and mom saved so much?"

This number shocked the whole family.

Zhao Laoer swallowed his saliva and said, "Mom, count again."

Mrs. Zhao was also afraid that she might be dazzled by counting too much, so she counted again.

"It's really eighty taels!"

Suddenly the whole family fell into silence.

Zhao Laosan fell silent and sighed, "It's nothing more than getting rich overnight."

"Our family has become a wealthy family."

Zhao Laoer hugged his two brothers, one on the left and the other on the right.

"You're so promising! Your life is suddenly rich!"

Zhao Yicha was young and didn't have a big idea about silver. He only knew that eighty taels was a lot.

But building a house also requires a lot of money.

"Grandpa, grandma, is this money enough to build a house?"

"Enough! Enough!"

Hearing her granddaughter's question, Mrs. Zhao was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.

"Not to mention building a house, it's enough for us to buy a small courtyard in the county!"

The Zhao family has been experiencing one surprise after another recently!

Zhao Changan thought of the big wild boar first and asked excitedly, "Milk, are you still selling the big wild boar?"

A wild boar that big can eat a year's worth of meat!

Li Xiuxiu said funnyly: "You, you just want to eat."

Zhao Changan rubbed his head in embarrassment.

The meat is really delicious.

Fish and chicken are easy to eat.

I can only eat pork once or twice a year, so I really want to eat it.

Mrs. Zhao said with a smile, "Keep it. It's not easy to eat pork once. We used to only be willing to buy it during the Chinese New Year."

"Now that you have the money, keep it, but you still have to sell it less. When people ask how you got the money, you can say that you got it from selling wild boar meat."

Zhao Laoer agreed very much, "Mom is still thoughtful.

"

"Okay, okay, there's wild boar to eat!"

Zhao Changan jumped up and down in joy.

"Kid, keep your voice down."

Zhao Laoer stopped his jumping son and said, "Don't disturb the people next door."

Zhao Changan covered his mouth, his eyes full of smiles, and nodded vigorously.

The candles have been extinguished in many sheds. It gets dark early and the villagers go to bed early.

Mrs. Zhao: "Okay, let's put the rest of the boxes away first."

Zhao Lao went to get the cloth from before. Zhao Laoer and Zhao Laosan put the box behind other boxes and covered it with cloth.

"If you haven't washed your face, wash your face quickly and go to bed early. Tomorrow we have to go to the mountains to burn incense."
