Text Volume II_Chapter 372: Regrets that can't be erased
Halfway through the meal, Chu Jingyao thought about the gift that she brought to Zhang Shouyi, and the gift was still in Chengcheng's arms, Chu Jingyao smiled and said to Chengcheng, "Chengcheng, what about the gift that your mother asked you to give to grandpa?"
Chengcheng immediately remembered, took out the small box in his arms and handed it to Zhang Shouyi, and said, "Grandpa Zhang, this is a gift that my mother asked me to bring you, eating it is good for your health." ”
Everyone's eyes looked at the small box, the small box was not big, it was the size of an ordinary mineral water bottle, Zhang Shouyi took the box, and said with a smile: "Thank you Chengcheng, and thank you to your nephew and daughter-in-law." ”
Chengcheng said: "Grandpa, open it and take a look, my mother said that there are good things in it, and I haven't seen it." ”
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Shouyi opened the small box with a smile, and a strong aroma suddenly overflowed inside, this aroma is very special, with an indescribable feeling of heart, everyone followed this aroma, and their eyes fell on the inside of the box, a ten-centimeter-long ginseng was placed inside, this ginseng is very thick, and it is not a whole root, it is cut off from a whole root, the surface of the ginseng is indescribably transparent, it is not an ordinary ginseng at first glance, Lin Kun can not see a lot of precious medicinal materials when he was in Mobei, they are all seized from the old nest of those criminals on the border, every time he seizes good things, more than half of them are eaten and consumed by him and his brothers, The remaining half is kept to go back and hand in, in fact, almost all the things handed in have been collected by Lao Hu's private collection, Lao Hu has the habit of collecting, and if there are any good things that he is not willing to eat or use, they are all put into his private collection room, and in the end they are all cheap Lin Kun, even if Lao Hu adds ten locks to the collection room, Lin Kun always has a way to open the door and go in to eat a meal.
If you want to talk about the relationship between Lin Kun and Lao Hu, Lao Hu definitely loves and hates Lin Kun, loves him, a rare genius of the king of soldiers for decades, and hates this kid for always using various means to pit him, pit him, and pit him again, Lin Kun has been in Mobei for many years, and has made countless miracles for him, and at the same time, he has countless treasures.
Lin Kun saw at a glance that this is one-third of the snow ginseng, and it is not an ordinary snow ginseng, but a mountain ginseng that grows specifically on the shady side of the cliff, the rarity of this mountain ginseng can be said to be extremely rare, in the black market just such a small piece of value, may be in hundreds of thousands or even nearly a million, when it comes to the efficacy of this mountain ginseng, it is definitely higher than its price, this kind of mountain ginseng is a veritable treasure that can continue life, if you give a bite to a person who is about to die, you can live at least three more days.
If this extremely rare snow ginseng is consumed as a tonic, the effect is needless to say.
Except for Lin Kun and Chu Jingyao, none of the people present knew what this wild ginseng was and how valuable it was, but judging from the appearance alone, they could feel that this was definitely not an ordinary ginseng, and the refreshing aroma it emitted was not something that ordinary ginseng could emit.
"This ...... How much does it cost? Zhang Shouyi looked at the treasure in his hand, raised his head to look at Chu Jingyao, and the eyes of the whole family also looked at Chu Jingyao, they were all curious about the price of this ginseng.
Chu Jingyao smiled and said, "I don't know how much it was given to my father by others, so it shouldn't be expensive." Of course she knew the price of this ginseng, but she just didn't want to shock Zhang Shouyi's family too much.
Zhang Shouyi's family was all skeptical, although they had never seen such a rare treasure medicinal material, but according to their intuition, this small piece of ginseng should be worth a lot of money, no matter how it is said, it will cost tens of thousands, if they know that this small piece of ginseng can be worth nearly one million, they may not be able to accept it in a short time.
Chu Jingyao smiled again and said, "Uncle Zhang, the effect of this ginseng is good, eat it all before going to bed at night, it can help your body recover faster." ”
Zhang Shouyi said gratefully again: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, thank you so much, I still think about me, an old man who has no ability, since I was sick until now, I have always been a burden to the family, it is not easy for children and his mother for so many years, this time I am getting better, I must repay this family well!"
Speaking of the heart, Zhang Shouyi couldn't help wiping a handful of tears, their family has been struggling with poverty and despair for many years, on the one hand, his daughter needs money to go to school, on the other hand, he is paralyzed on the kang and needs medical expenses, the whole family has been supported by his wife alone for so many years, she is not yet fifty years old this year, but she looks as old as a sixty-year-old person, and then Zhang Dazhuang dropped out of school to work in the city, and the family's economic conditions have improved a little, but they are still very poor.
This time his condition suddenly became serious, he originally wanted to die, he had this disease is torture for himself, and it is also torture for his family, just when he was almost ready to meet death, Lin Kun, a nephew who had been lost for many years, appeared, not only took money to treat him, but also provided for his daughter to go to school, and bought a house for Da Zhuang, and his life suddenly jumped up from an unimaginable trough.
Life has changed for the better, and his body is slowly recovering, Zhang Shouyi's only thought now is that after he has fully recovered, he will repay the family, his wife, his children, and Lin Kun, the nephew who made him reborn.
Zhang Shouyi cried, Xu Ying also cried, she leaned her head on Zhang Shouyi's shoulder, and choked up and said: " The child's father, what are you talking about, if you are really not there, our home will not be called home, although you have not done anything for the family for so many years, but for us, your life is our happiness, I now hope that you can get better soon, with the help of Kunzi's nephew, our family's life has been completely better, in the future, we will hold hands together, and the rest of the days will be happy and happy, busy and worried for most of our lives, we are also like the city people, live comfortably every day, make some delicious food for the children, and call them all to the house……”
Zhang Dazhuang and He Cuihua also cried, the two held their hands tightly under the table, Zhang Dazhuang was grateful to this daughter-in-law who was older than him, no matter how hard the days were for so many years, she has always stayed by his side, nested with him in this stuffy and trendy basement behind him, sharing the pressure of life together, she never complained about him, when he was lost and felt that he was about to lose himself, she could always comfort him and encourage him......
Looking at Zhang Shouyi and Xu Ying, Lin Kun's heart was deeply touched, he grew up beside this couple since he was a child, he has always seen the affairs of the Zhang family, Xu Ying is the most admired woman he has ever seen in his life, a woman who struggles desperately for life, for her family, and for her sick husband.
Everyone stopped talking, Chengcheng also quieted down obediently, Xiao Gray and Xiao Hai Holly are psychic, when these adults were eating, the two little guys hid behind Lin Kun very obediently, Xiao Gray was lying on the ground enjoying the warm ground after the sun, Xiao Hai Holly turned a pair of small eyes to look at everyone at the table, the little guy seemed to understand what the adults were saying.
Chu Jingyao was also moved by this atmosphere unconsciously, her family background was not good when she was young, but it was completely different from Zhang Shouyi's family, Chu Jingyao enlisted in the army when she was young, although she rarely went home, but she would always send money back, and then Chu Xiangguo left home to take care of Qin Xue's mother and son, and she also sent money home during the period, and then within a few years, Chu Xiangguo came out to start his own business, and his career was smooth sailing, until it later developed into the current Tianchu Group.
Chu Jingyao can be said to have never known what poverty is like, and she doesn't know the feeling of struggling with food and clothing every day, what she lost the most in her childhood was her father's love, and the most important person she lost was her mother.
Looking at Xu Ying, who was full of white hair in front of her, Chu Jingyao thought of her mother, in her memory, she was bullied by a few gangsters at school, her mother went to the school to find a teacher, but the teacher didn't dare to take care of it, the parents of those gangsters were all characters with heads and faces, and the teacher was an ordinary state worker, who got a little dead salary every month, how could he dare to provoke such a character.
Later, after school that night, her mother waited at the school gate early, with a kitchen knife in her arms, and forced the gangster children to bow their heads and apologize to her, and Chu Jingyao was moved to tears at that moment.
Mother is a woman with a tough personality, after her father left, she never got married again, in the dead of night, Chu Jingyao often saw her mother crying silently alone, sitting in front of the window drinking pungent liquor.
One day when I came home, I found that the house was smashed, and my mother was curled up in the corner with bruises, and after seeing her go home, my mother said the only discouraged word in her life - Jing Yao, your father doesn't want us anymore, let's die, okay? Okay......
That afternoon, the parents of the gangsters who had bullied her before found the house, beat her mother, and smashed the house, which was the greatest humiliation her mother had ever suffered in her life, and she couldn't bear it.
At that time, Chu Jingyao ran out of the house like crazy, she ran to the public phone booth, picked up the phone and dialed the familiar but cold number, as soon as the phone was connected, she roared into the microphone: "Chu Xiangguo, now that you are satisfied, we are going to die, you will never see us again, never!"
The old man who was in charge of the phone booth was frightened, she left without paying, and the old man didn't react.
That night, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, and when they woke up the next morning, they found that everything in the house had changed, it had become clean and tidy, and it had been replaced with new appliances, the television was the most mainstream and advanced at that time, the refrigerator was the same, and the air conditioner and washing machine were installed, and a brand new big brother was placed on the table in the living room, and a note was left next to it, which read in strong font - no matter what happens, I am by your side.
Chu Jingyao recognized that it was her father's font, and was moved to tears, but her mother tore up the note as if she was crazy, and then raised it down from the window, when the confetti was scattered like snowflakes, Chu Xiangguo was sitting in the car parked under the window, and the confetti was scattered little by little in front of him, and what Chu Jingyao and her mother didn't see at that moment was that the man who had never been afraid of the enemy's bullets and bullets was flooded with tears.
When I went to school again, the news had spread all over the school that the gangster students were ordered to be suspended, which was the only school in the town at that time, and being ordered to suspend school meant that they couldn't study, unless they were transferred to another place, and the parents of those students were all sent to the hospital, they were all rushed into the house by strangers last night, smashed the house to pieces, and at the same time beat people to serious injuries, and then Chu Jingyao knew that the parents of those gangster students were all disabled to varying degrees, the most serious one was forever in a wheelchair, and none of the gangsters who were found to go to her house to make trouble were spared, either with a broken arm or a broken leg......
The memories of the past are like a pot of wine, it is easy to get drunk if she recalls too quickly, she recalls too slowly and can't extricate herself, thinking of her mother, Chu Jingyao immediately burst into tears, that is the regret that she can't get rid of in this life.
