Xiao Hei originally thought that as long as he apologized like this, his mother would definitely jump out of the bed and hold his arms, as usual, and comfort him.

However, this time, Yang Huamei did not.

Xiao Hei attributed all this to Zhuang Zhuang.

This time is different from the past, because I took out my anger on Zhuangzhuang, and Zhuangzhuang is my mother's heart and soul, and no one can touch it.

Xiao Hei was filled with resentment, and his hatred for Zhuang Zhuang escalated to a higher level.

But he still kept Xu Qiaohong's instructions in mind and deliberately sniffed hard, making a look as if he had cried.

Then he said: "I was so angry at my elder brother and sister-in-law that I took my anger out on my nephew. I promise I will never do it again in the future."

"I brought a bag of halva for my mother. She will fill her belly when she gets hungry later."

"After Sister Qiaohong has finished feeding Zhuangzhuang, I will accompany her to Xu's home."

"I have to bring a gift when I come home. Originally, I wanted to come over and talk to my mother, but Sister Qiaohong didn't allow it. She said that I didn't want my mother to worry about these things. We should figure out a way for the home gift ourselves."

After Xiao Hei said this, he paused for a moment and looked at Yang Huamei.

Seeing that Yang Huamei still didn't turn around to strike up a conversation, Xiao Hei didn't say much, and he didn't step on Yang Huamei's heels to ask for a return gift like before. If he didn't give it, he wouldn't go out, and he would lie on the floor and act...

At this moment, he waited for a while but didn't get Yang Huamei's reaction, so he sighed, put the candy in his hand beside the bed, turned around and prepared to leave the west room.

As soon as I reached the door of the West Room, Yang Huamei's voice finally came from behind me.

"Wait!"

Xiao Hei felt happy, but did not turn around in a hurry.

Instead, as Xu Qiaohong taught, she turned around slowly and asked Yang Huamei with a hint of hesitation: "Mom, what's wrong? Isn't the candy enough? I still have a few cakes in the house, why don't I give them to you too?

bring here?"

Yang Huamei has turned around and opened her eyes.

As soon as Xiao Hei looked into Yang Huamei's eyes, he knew that most of his mother's anger had dissipated.

Hehe, Sister Qiaohong is so amazing, she knows my mother’s temperament so well.

"Mom, why are you staring at me like this? Don't you want to eat rice cakes? What can you do? I'll ask Sister Qiaohong to give you a whole bowl of noodles?"

"By the way, I still have a bowl of leftover rice from last night. How about I put two eggs in it and make you a bowl of egg fried rice?"

Yang Huamei waved her hand and said a little impatiently: "You are a man, when did you become so boring? The kitchen is a woman's business, so don't worry about it!"

Xiao Hei rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Mom, weren't I worried that you would be hungry?"

Yang Huamei was caught off guard by these words.

"Okay, okay, don't say those words anymore, come here and help me get something." Yang Huamei ordered.

Xiao Hei walked to Yang Huamei's bed honestly.

Yang Huamei pointed to the bottom of the bed, "There is a wooden box underneath. There is also a wooden box in the wooden box. Please bring the wooden box out to me."

Xiao Hei did as he was told.

When he took out a heavy wooden box and put it in Yang Huamei's hand, he couldn't help but feel happy.

"Mom, you are really my daughter-in-law. Could it be that this wooden box was passed down to you by her old lady?"

Indeed, this wooden box is exactly the same as Tan's in terms of appearance, workmanship, and the copper lock on the wooden box, like twins.

Yang Huamei rolled her eyes at Xiao Hei and said angrily: "Both wooden boxes are made by the same craftsman. This wooden box was the dowry your grandpa prepared for me when I got married. It has never been used."

Yes, I packed up my things and dug them out of the corners that day."

After digging it out, I discovered that the material of this wooden box is really good, it seems to be the legendary golden nanmu!

The wooden box is not big, just smaller than Tan's. The copper lock on it is very strong, so Yang Huamei thought about it and decided to use this wooden box to store the gifts received from this banquet. She has already recorded the gifts received from relatives and friends.

There are account books for the exchange of gifts and money among the villagers.

Even the box with its contents, which is full, should not exceed five kilograms.

Yang Huamei took off the key hanging from her waist and rummaged through a bunch of identical keys to find the one that could open the box. Suddenly she caught a glimpse of Xiao Hei's staring eyes. Yang Huamei frowned unhappily.

and carried the key behind his back.

"What are you looking at? Turn your back!" Yang Huamei ordered.

Xiao Hei came back to his senses, grinned, and turned around obediently.

Behind him, there was the faint sound of keys turning in the keyhole.

Xiao Hei was still thinking about the weight of the wooden box from before, and wished he could turn around and take a look at how many good treasures were in that wooden box. Yang Huamei seemed to be able to pry into his thoughts, and the warning voice came to him again.

in the ears.

"Don't peek, or I'll skin you!"

Xiao Hei stood up properly again.

After a while, Yang Huamei's voice came from behind again, "Okay, turn around!"

Xiao Hei quickly turned around and saw that the wooden box was gone. When he looked again, he saw a big bulge somewhere on the quilt inside the bed. It seemed that his mother had hidden the wooden box under the quilt.

"Now, take these two taels of silver and accompany Qiaohong back to her parents' house later. You can't go to the town empty-handed to buy some fish and meat, buy some soju, buy some cigarettes, and then pull some pieces of cloth for the female members of the Xu family.

Just buy some snacks and fruits for the kids, and that’s about it.”

Xiao Hei took the two taels of silver in his hand, weighed it, and said with a smile: "Mom, can you give me a little more? Keep a little more money in your hand to meet unexpected needs!"

Yang Huamei glared at Xiao Hei: "That won't work, two taels of silver is enough, I've already calculated it all!"

Xiao Hei grinned and muttered "Stingy!"

Then he ran out of the west room.

Yang Huamei was so angry that her neck was standing straight, "You bastard, who are you calling stingy? If you think it's too little, please give me your money back!"

What she responded to was the door of the West Room being slammed shut.

"You bastard, you slam the door, who are you going to show it to?"

The door to the west room opened again, and Xu Qiaohong carried Zhuang Zhuang into the room.

"Mom, don't be like Xiao Hei. We don't want your old money. You can keep the money for your own retirement. I'll just use the money from my dowry to buy home gifts."

"That won't work. You have to keep the money you have in the bottom of the box. In the future, your children will have to have some wealth when they get married!" Yang Huamei directly rejected Xu Qiaohong's proposal without thinking.

When it comes to future generations, you can't be careless. Yang Huamei attaches great importance to the inheritance of the old Wang family.
