Chapter 85: Presents (1)
Elder Liu had sent a lot of things over. Before this, Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan had only found some food. The food was enough to make them extremely excited. At this moment, the two brothers were holding brocade boxes. Out of curiosity, they opened the boxes,
“Eh, what’s This?” Chen Haoxuan, who had never seen gold and silver jewelry before, curiously looked at the things in the boxes and asked.
Liu Juan, who happened to pass by, only turned her head to take a glance before she lost her composure. Liu Juan snatched the brocade box from her son, Chen Haoxuan. “Little Ping, come and take a look. The things that Elder Liu gave us are too precious.”
Chen Ping and Liu Juan thought that these things were for their children to eat, play, and wear. But they had never thought that these things were mixed with such precious gold jewelry.
Chen Meng’er, who was looking through the clothes that Elder Liu had prepared for her, heard her mother’s surprised voice and took a rare moment to look up at her mother, when she saw the large size of the gold lock plate in her mother’s hand, the corner of her mouth twitched. She could not help but weigh it in her heart. If this thing was hung in her small neck, she would have to lower her head when she walked in the future.
She really wanted to tell Elder Liu that he should not talk about her wearing the golden lock piece and just give her gold instead. If it didn’t work out, she could just convert it into money.
When Chen Ping heard his wife calling him, he put down the work in his hands and walked over. “Little Juan, what’s wrong?”
“Look, this.” Liu Juan put the brocade box in her husband’s hand.
“Here.” Chen Ping was also shocked by the large amount of gold lock pieces in the brocade box. One had to know that in this era, there was not enough food to eat, let alone have gold and silver jewelry. When Liu Juan and Chen Ping got married, they did not even have a gold ring. Therefore, when Chen Ping saw the gold lock pieces, he was also stunned.
As for Chen Haoxuan, the Chen Haoxuan brothers still complained that their parents were not letting them open the presents. They added, “Father, mother, we still have this.”
“And this.” Chen Haoxuan handed the brocade box that they had found to their parents.
Chen Ping and Liu Juan took the brocade box from Chen Haoxuan. They looked at the small gold bracelet inside, as well as the Maitreya Buddha’s emerald pendant and a very watery jade bracelet.
Chen Ping and Liu Juan did not know the value of the Maitreya Buddha’s jade pendant and the jade bracelet, but they knew that the small gold bracelet and the heavy gold lock piece were worth a lot.
“Little Ping, this is too precious. We can’t accept it.” Liu Juan was just an ordinary woman. Their family now had a deposit of 500,000 yuan, in this era where cash was rarely seen, they were very rich, and their family could be considered a rich family. But her thoughts were still stuck in the time when their family had no money.
And Chen Ping was the same as Liu Juan. They often forgot that they had a huge deposit of 500,000 yuan.
“Then let’s return these things to Uncle Liu. Next week, when Uncle Liu comes to take Meng’er to the city.” Chen Ping also felt that these things were too valuable. Originally, he felt that Elder Liu had spent a lot of money on so many things that he brought.
“Okay. Let’s do that. Then I’ll put these things away first.” Liu Juan said as she was about to pack up the things and put them into the only box in their house.
Chen Meng’er saw her mother’s actions and said, “Dad, Mom, you can’t return these things to Grandpa. If you return them to him, he will be angry..”
