Chapter 176: Banana Leaves for Rites 8
"It's not strange that you give away the tea, the strange thing is that you took it in person and asked Secretary Chen to send it!" The old lady's tone was already deep enough, but this time it was aggravated, "Tell me, is it a beautiful and lovely girl?" ”
didn't miss the funny eyes of the old mother and his father, brother and sister-in-law, Huo Xuetong was very helpless.
"It's a girl, a cute, pretty girl. However, she was only six years old. ”
Everyone was very excited when they heard the first few sentences, and the fourth child finally opened up!
Unexpectedly, a six-year-old sentence slowly spit out of his mouth, and they felt that a bucket of cold water was splashed on their heads.
Six? What a beautiful thing is going to happen!
"Why are you only six years old? Not sixteen? Fourth, maybe you misremembered her age. ”
The old lady muttered, undying on to the only remaining glimmer of hope.
Huo Xuetong laughed, "Mom, I'm still young, and my brain is very good." ”
So, he can't mistake the age of the child anyway.
The birthday present was just sent out today, even if you deceive yourself, you don't do that.
didn't want his family to continue to ask, Huo Xuetong hurriedly said: "Mom, my child's birthday is the same day as yours, I gave her a gift, and she also sent you a gift back." It's this box in your hand, see if you like it or not. ”
A six-year-old girl knows how to return the gift? Didn't your family help you?
The old lady still didn't believe the fact that the girl in Huo Xuetong's mouth was only six years old, so she immediately opened the box.
The banana leaves are fresh and full of eyes.
"This is ......," the old lady was suddenly so excited that she could not speak.
"Mom, this is the top-grade banana leaf white in the Duan inkstone."
"I know it's banana leaf white!" The old lady interrupted her youngest son's words, her face full of excitement, "But do you know, fourth, this is one of the old objects handed down by the Huo family!" ”
"What?" Handed down from the Huo family?
Huo Xuetong suddenly remembered that Quan Shengnan knew that his mother liked jade but gave the inkstone, could it be that she knew that the inkstone belonged to the Huo family?
The old lady stroked the inkstone for a while before she calmed down.
"This inkstone is your grandfather's favorite treasure, and I am usually not allowed to touch it with your uncle.
Later, your grandfather gave me a dowry, and I have always loved it like a treasure.
It's a pity that it was lost in that turmoil.
You all know and have experienced that catastrophe.
Both the Qin family and the Huo family used to be famous families, and they were both in the ranks of being defeated.
Fortunately, your father has been fighting in the army for many years and has a bit of status, so it was not easy to keep our family, but the Huo family is different.
Your grandfather, uncle and aunt are all in Hong Kong, and I myself grew up abroad when I was young, so I have a very bad composition.
They told your father to draw a line with me.
The way to draw the line is, divorce!
Your father refused, because of this, he, the general, was sent to the country.
Xuetong must not know, he was not born at that time, Wuzhi, you always remember, right? ”
Wuzhi nodded and said, "Remember, why don't you remember?"
Our house was turned into a mess, and a lot of things were beaten, smashed, and pulled away.
It's a mess, it's a mess inside and out.
When my mother got married, a whole set of rosewood furniture was chopped into firewood at that time.
I remember that my mother was just pregnant with the fourth child, and my brothers and I were sent to different places, and we were not by my parents' side, and our family lived for several years. ”
