Chapter 341 Family Heritage (seventh update)

The three children immediately came over and looked at her expectantly with their black and white eyes.

An Zhixia suddenly felt guilty when she hesitated.

Fang Yuan took out the gift book from her hand and handed it to Fang Songyan. He then pushed the heavy backpack to Fang Lixi and said, "You three children, please sort out the money and see how much it is in total. Compare it with the money in the ledger." If the numbers are correct, everyone will be awarded ten yuan!”

The three children nodded happily, climbed onto the bed, took out pens and paper, spread out the gift book, and poured all the money in their backpacks onto the kang table.

They divided the work and worked together. First, they piled a hundred identical coins together, then added them together. After sorting them, they calculated the money in the gift book.

Fang Yuan leaned into An Zhixia's ear and whispered: "Daughter-in-law, have you forgotten what I told you? Treat them as your own children, instruct them to do the work when they need it, teach them when they need to be taught, and praise them when they need to be taught." Just praise, no need to worry about anything.

Let them sort out the gift book, which is of great benefit to them. Children in other families do not have such an opportunity. "

“I’m afraid they’ll think too much.”

“They are smarter and stronger than you and I think, and they want you to put aside any worries.”

An Zhixia nodded lightly: "I try my best to learn to get along with them and find the best way."

They all slept a lot in the afternoon, so they were not sleepy at all now.

The children were busy counting money, while the two newlyweds whispered to each other. Such a harmonious and warm scene made Fang Yuan unable to help but quietly carry the child behind his back and kiss her cheek again and again. At this moment, he regretted that he had made too much noise in the afternoon. He could only continue to offer delicious meat plainly at night and see if he could swallow it.

An Zhixia thought that the children would not be able to complete the task in one night. In the end, they put the money together, checked it twice in a row, and began to calculate the gift book. Fang Yuan dug up a beautiful black jade abacus, and the youngest Fang Gexin read it, Fang Lixi fiddled with the abacus, and Fang Songyan recorded the periodic values ​​in the notebook.

The crackling sound was so exciting that An Zhixia couldn't help but get off the sofa, climb up on the bed and sit next to them and watch.

Fang Yuan followed her and whispered to her: "That abacus was given to my father when he was still alive. When he left home, he would only hold this thing in his arms. When he was usually depressed, he would play with the abacus. The little guy also learned very well from him.”

In just two hours, they had sorted out the money and checked the gift book.

“Mom and Dad, the money is thirty-two and eighty-three cents more than the gift book. We have calculated it several times and it’s the same number,” Fang Lixi said with some confusion.

An Zhixia counted out thirty yuan from the cents, pushed them in front of them, and said with a smile: "Just now your father put a handful of change in it. Well, these are what you earned, use them as pocket money, wait until next time When we go to the supply and marketing cooperative, we buy three piggy banks. You can put the change you usually get in them, and when you have enough money, you can deposit it in the bank. "

The children nodded one after another and put their money away under the quilts against the wall.

Everyone turned off the lights and went to sleep after washing. An Zhixia was not used to being held in someone's arms, but she liked the feeling of warmth and security in someone's arms.

Fang Yuan also had a delicate body in his arms for the first time. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep, so he whispered to An Zhixia, talking to each other in a nonchalant manner.

The next day, Fang Yuanda came back from having lunch in the cafeteria. After An Zhixia finished eating, she began to sort out her dowry. She put all the things she needed in the box into the cloakroom, and kept the things she didn't need in the box, pushing them one by one under the wooden frame bed.

An Zhixia used to only have to concentrate on studying and filming. Even if she was managing contacts, she would always be in the industry, with certain routines, and she would have agents and assistants to help her deal with it. She also specialized in how to capture people's hearts and make friends with them. But no matter after she joined the circle or before she joined the circle, she was not an amateur, so she didn't particularly know how to get along with her neighbors.

After all, the apartment or hotel she lived in in later generations had elevators directly to the door, so she had no idea who lived on the upper and lower floors. Fortunately, Mrs. Jiang also understood her shortcomings in this area. She had already refined her experience and wrote half a book. She handed it to her solemnly and said mysteriously: "This is the tip bag passed down to you by my grandma. Wait." After you get married, take a rest and read it carefully."

Then she gave An Zhixia a small wooden box that was not heavy and said it was a dowry. At that time, An Zhixia put the box directly in the supermarket.

At this moment, she held the book and read it carefully. They were all tips and precautions for how to behave in the world. She learned a lot of new things, and she felt warm gratitude towards her grandma.

An Zhixia's spiritual consciousness was checking the box in the supermarket. It was not too big. It could hold two books flatly and was about 20 centimeters high. The outside is covered with a layer of oil visible to the naked eye, but half of the reddish-brown box has serious signs of being licked by the fire.

She remembered that there had been a fire in Jiang's house before. Although it was not a big fire, it was put out in time, but all the old photos of the house were burned. If it weren't for the special material on the outside of this small box, it might have been swallowed by the fire.

An Zhixia opened the wooden box with the key, and it was filled with various prescriptions saved by the Jiang family and the Gu family. She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered what had been shown in some novels and TV shows. In fact, in addition to relying on the connections and financial resources accumulated by the ancestors, the heritage of large families in ancient times also relied on many orphan books, prescriptions, etc. The latter was far more important. higher than the former.

There are solitary books and prescriptions. Whether it is the younger generations who are building a family or using these in exchange for conditions from the nobles, it is a powerful situation that should not be underestimated.

These recipes include firing precious porcelain, Chinese patent medicines with different functions and significant curative effects, preparing the best rouge and gouache, whitening and removing freckles, body shaping and beauty, detoxification and eliminating evil, various pastries and candies, recipes, etc. Naturally, some are colorless and odorless. Drugs, poisons, itching medicines, fake death medicines, allergy medicines, etc. are a means to help the hostess of the back house gain a foothold.

She, a queen-level figure who prides herself on being knowledgeable, could not help but feel frightened and lamented that she was sitting in a well looking at the sky. Xiahua's five thousand years of humanistic history is really not just a frivolous compliment, it actually exists with its low-key, luxurious, mysterious and powerful existence.

An Zhixia's heart was beating fast. She silently recited the Heart-Cleaning Mantra several times before she got rid of distracting thoughts, closed the box properly, and prepared to have a good chat with Mrs. Jiang tomorrow.

But now, she inquired carefully about the situation of the neighbors and learned that half of the corridor was composed of family members of their team. She asked again: "Did you buy candies and snacks at home before? Where are they placed? I will take the children out for a walk to recognize people."

Fang Yuan walked to the kang, opened the cabinet underneath, and began to pull it out.
