Wake up suddenly, back to the time when my wife and daughter had an accident

Chapter 327

The Meng family never expected that Grandpa Shi would bring Shi Rongjin home.

"Grandpa Shi, please come in."

Grandpa Shi wore a red scarf around his neck, which was very festive.

As soon as he followed Meng Haisheng into the yard, he felt the strong flavor of the New Year.

The yard was covered with red firecracker paper, and big blessing characters were pasted on flower pots and water tanks.

Window paper-cuts were pasted on the glass windows of the wing rooms and the main house, which was very festive.

Although he was standing in the yard, he could hear the laughter coming from the house.

Grandpa Shi was a little stunned. When had the Shi family been so lively? Later, the children in the family grew up and moved out of the old house, and his yard became more and more deserted.

"Grandpa Haisheng came here without even saying hello. Isn't that too abrupt?"

"Not abrupt. There are many people at home today. It's very lively. My mother and Mu Cheng made a lot of dumplings. You come here just to taste their cooking skills."

"Fourth uncle, you can eat more dumplings later. My mother put the commemorative silver coins just issued this year in the dumplings."

"I have only heard of putting one cent in the dumplings. This is the first time I heard of putting commemorative silver coins."

Shi Rongjin asked Meng Haisheng in confusion.

When he was a child, his family would put money in dumplings during the Chinese New Year.

After his mother passed away, someone in the family said that putting money in the dumplings was too unhygienic. Things that have been handled by so many people will be covered with bacteria no matter how they are washed.

The matter was dropped.

"This is my mother's idea. I told her that the commemorative silver coin is more valuable than a penny. She said that she put eight coins in order to get a good start."

"Whoever eats the silver coin will make a lot of money this year."

"Okay, then I have to eat more dumplings."

The three of them went into the house while talking.

The house was warm with the floor heating. The three little ones went to sleep in the house. Only Momo was reluctant to leave and curled up on the sofa in the living room.

When she heard the voice of Mr. Shi, she immediately got up from the sofa.

"Grandpa Zeng."

"Hey, Momo hasn't slept yet?"

"Well, I'm waiting to eat the Yuanbao dumplings."

"Then can Grandpa Zeng eat with us?"

"Okay, my mother and grandma made a lot of dumplings,"

Momo said, and made a big circle for Mr. Shi, making him laugh.

"Come here, today Grandpa Zeng brought Momo a New Year's gift."

As he spoke, Grandpa Shi took out a slightly old velvet box from his pocket.

Momo likes to receive gifts the most. When she saw Grandpa Shi giving her something, she took it generously.

"What is this, Grandpa Zeng?"

Momo gently opened the box and saw a jade peace lock in the box.

The material of the jade is very good. The light green color, although not reaching the imperial green, is almost the same.

A hollow auspicious cloud frame is inlaid with gold around the peace lock, and it is also decorated with some small red gems.

On the peace lock, there is a gold chain. Although it is not very thick, the workmanship is absolutely exquisite.

Lin Mucheng took a look from a distance and knew that this peace lock was an antique. How could it have a history of several decades?

"Grandpa Shi, you can't give such a valuable thing to Momo. How can a little girl like her afford it?"

Lin Mucheng hurried forward to stop him, fearing that Momo would not want to return it to Grandpa Shi because she was beautiful.

"She can afford it. She can afford it. She is the eldest granddaughter in Momo's generation. It is only right for me, as her great-grandfather, to give her something."

"This safety lock was made by a craftsman when Guangzhu was not yet born. Momo's great-grandmother asked a craftsman to make it. It was for Guangzhu at that time."

"I didn't expect that this gift would last for more than 40 years. It's just right to give it to Momo now."

Since Grandpa Shi said so, Lin Mucheng couldn't say anything else.

"Momo, hurry up and thank Grandpa."

Momo's chubby little hand held the safety lock and shouted sweetly, "Thank you Grandpa for giving me a New Year's gift. I also have a gift for you."

"Oh, my Momo has a gift for Grandpa."

"Well, Grandpa, please sit down first, I'll get it right away."

Momo handed the safety lock to Lin Mucheng, and she ran back to the bedroom and picked out the one she was most satisfied with from her many paintings.

It was a watercolor painting full of sunflowers, and it was also the one Momo was most satisfied with recently.

"From Grandpa."

When seeing the painting in his hand, Old Man Shi was so happy that he could receive a painting from his great-granddaughter.

"After Grandpa takes it home, he will frame the painting and put it on Grandpa's desk every day."

Momo, who was confused for a while just now, was instantly full of energy and became active in the living room again.

YesWith her, the whole Meng family will be more lively.

Shi Rongjin looked at Momo jumping up and down and thought, why not adopt a daughter? With a child at home, at least the New Year will not be so lonely.

However, as soon as this idea came up, it was rejected by Shi Rongjin. He couldn't even take care of himself, how could he take care of a child.

Time passed, and finally they could eat New Year's Eve dumplings.

"Grandpa Zeng, this wheat ear dumpling is for you. I'll tell you secretly, there are big red dates in it. Be careful with your teeth when you eat it. My grandma said that if you bite too hard, your teeth will be hurt."

Momo generously picked the wheat ear dumplings in the bowl and gave them to Grandpa Shi. There were only two gold ingot dumplings left in her bowl.

There is no doubt that Momo was the first to eat red dates today.

She happily put the red date pits on the table and received a lot of praise.

1986 will be the year when Meng Haisheng will become rich. All eight commemorative silver coins are in his bowl.

The bowls used by the Meng family are not big bowls, but ordinary small white porcelain bowls.

There are at most eight dumplings in this bowl, but each of them has a silver coin.

"Mom, your skill in picking up dumplings is really amazing. People who don't know would think that you picked them for Haisheng alone."

Lin Mucheng was speechless as he watched Meng Haisheng put out silver coins one by one.

Qu Lan laughed and said, "It's okay. Haisheng makes money, which means our Meng family makes money. We are all surnamed Meng."

Old man Shi and Shi Rongjin didn't go home until the early morning.

There were no more firecrackers outside. The two went home and fell asleep, and they no longer had to worry about not being able to sleep.

The Meng family didn't have many relatives in Beijing, so they didn't have to go out to visit relatives on the first day of the new year, so they had a lot of free time.

It wasn't until the fifth day of the new year that Lin Mucheng finally received the first invitation to the dance.

The first invitation to the dance came from the Shi family.

Shi Rongfei's daughter Mo Peijun is a sophomore this year. This is her first time to hold a dance, so naturally she wants to hold it grandly.

"Haisheng, what kind of dress do you think I should wear when I go to the dance?"

Lin Mucheng was a little worried. She had a lot of clothes, and it was a little difficult to choose a suitable one.
