Chapter 199：

Su Xiaoxiao didn't dare to move, and ran outside to call Han Cheng: "Han Cheng, I seem to have found something, come and have a look."

Han Cheng stopped what he was doing: "What did you find?"

Su smiled and said, "Come in and have a look."

Han Cheng put down the things in his hand and followed Su Xiaoxiao in.

Entering the room, Su Xiaoxiao squatted down and opened the suitcase that had just been covered. A strong smell of mothballs shot straight to the sky, covered with some highly absorbent soil paper, and a bamboo tube commonly used for calligraphy and painting could be seen faintly underneath.

Han Cheng looked at Su Xiaoxiao in amazement: "Is this a calligraphy and painting?"

Li Yufeng likes to put mothballs in the cabinet in order to prevent insects. Su Xiaoxiao is most afraid of the smell.

"I haven't touched it. It looks like a calligraphy and painting. Hasn't the uncle looked for it? Why is the calligraphy and painting placed in such a conspicuous place that he doesn't know it?"

Han Cheng removed the absorbent paper on it, and carefully took out a bamboo tube: "The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, I've been in this room countless times, and I've never thought that my mother would put value so casually. Liancheng's calligraphy and paintings are in the suitcase."

In fact, the preservation of calligraphy and painting is nothing more than a few points: light-proof, dust-proof, moisture-proof, insect-proof, and sealing. The cowhide suitcase can fully meet these requirements.

Han Cheng scraped off the beeswax on the bamboo tube, carefully poured out the scroll that Jiang placed inside, and found that the scroll was still wrapped in a layer of kraft paper.

It has to be said that this is a textbook-like preservation method for antique calligraphy and painting. Whether it is soil paper with excellent water absorption or kraft paper wrapped in calligraphy and painting, it is excellent protection, and then put it in a bamboo tube that is dried, baked, polished and smoothed with beeswax. The sealing is not enough. Finally, a suitcase made of cowhide is used to pull up and seal it again, and put mothballs that prevent insects. It is perfectly protected from light, dust, moisture, insects, sealing, or multi-layer protection.

Although Su Xiaoxiao didn't understand calligraphy and painting, but when he saw Han Cheng open the scroll in his hand, the background revealed after the precipitation of history came to his face, and there was no need for appraisers to appraise it. This is a famous painting, no matter it is a lifelike game. Yufeiniao is still an immersive water pavilion. At first glance, it is written by everyone hundreds of years ago or even longer.

"Han Cheng, which master's masterpiece is this?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Han Cheng looked at the seal under his eyes and said a name.

Su Xiaoxiao has no research on ancient calligraphy and painting, so naturally he doesn't understand. Han Cheng said that although the master's reputation is not big, this is a masterpiece that is no less than a certain Jiangshan painting, and it is of great appreciation value. The master also highly respects it. Not long ago, a friend who had studied calligraphy and painting abroad also sent a letter to ask about the whereabouts of this painting.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the remaining scrolls that were well sealed, and said to Han Cheng, "I think my mother's way of keeping it is very good. The painting is not damaged at all. We won't open the rest, right? Once it gets wet or moths, it's a pity."

Han Cheng put the scroll in his hand in a kraft paper bag and put it back into the bamboo tube, nodded and said, "This thing is really difficult to keep, and it is not suitable to release it this season. When the autumn is cool, we can all open it and let it dry. Go to the tide to see if there is any damage, take the opened one back, and then re-wax seal it or find a frame to hang it in our room."

This matter touched Su Xiaoxiao's blind spot of knowledge, and she listened to Han Cheng, but she was really reluctant to hang such a precious ancient painting as a decoration in the room.

"My suggestion is to seal it with wax first, and let's talk about it later. If anyone sees it, it will cause unnecessary trouble."

Han Cheng nodded and put the suitcase back carefully: "Listen to you, the bridge pier has been pierced, and I saw an iron sheet, which is estimated to be the box."

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes: "I can't wait to see the gold."

The husband and wife walked out with three empty boxes.

When Jiang Xue returned to Jiang's house, Jiang Huai still didn't have a good face, and snorted coldly: "I know you came back, I thought you died outside."

Jiang Xue neither called him nor took his words. She put down the things in her hand and looked around and asked, "Where's my mother?"

When the words fell, Lin Su's voice came from outside the door: "Is it Xue'er? Is Xue'er back?"

Lin Su brought her two grandsons in from outside: "Xue'er? Is it really you? You are finally willing to come back to see your mother, woo woo..."

Lin Su hadn't seen her daughter for several years, holding Jiang Xue's hand and crying non-stop.

Jiang Xue actually guessed that Jiang Huai deliberately lied to her to come back, and it was not surprising to see that Lin Su was fine, nothing was better than nothing, so she came back to visit her mother.

"Mother don't cry, I'm fine, how are you?"

Lin Su wiped away her tears: "Okay, mother is okay."

Jiang Huai roared: "You are such an ass, a loving mother has many bad children. Look at the good daughter you taught. If you don't get married and have no children, it's simply unkind, unjust, unfaithful and unfilial!"

Jiang Xue took a breath: "I didn't come back to quarrel with you. Since my mother is fine, I'll go first."

After Jiang Xue finished speaking, she picked up her handbag and was about to go out.

Lin Su held her hand and said, "Xue'er, it's rare to come back here. Let's go after dinner. Lang'er, Hao'er, don't you remember auntie? Come and call auntie."

Brother Jiang Xue's two sons are thirteen years old and ten years old. They have seen Jiang Xue only a handful of times over the years, and have no impression of her, but still bite the bullet and call out "Auntie".

Jiang Xue didn't like this family, Jiang Huai, or her brother Jiang Feng, but no matter what, her mother and nephews were innocent. Jiang Xue held back her temper and distributed the gifts she brought back to her nephews.

The atmosphere eased a little, and Jiang Huai began to put on the air of the patriarch again: "Come here and follow me to the study, I have something to ask you!"

Jiang Xue said: "If you have anything to say, just say it here, I have something to do in the afternoon."

Lin Su begged, "Xue'er..."

Jiang Huai said, "Are you sure you want to talk about Hancheng here?"

Jiang Xue really thinks it's ridiculous. She still doesn't know why her good father and big brother have always instilled in her the idea of ​​marrying Han Cheng when she grows up, so that she can't figure out what she really is about Han Cheng. If I really like it, I will pay so much attention to him if I am subtly influenced.

Han Cheng is good, Han family style is good, but people don't like her, what's the use of being good? What reason did she have to have him? When everyone gets married and has children, they still don't give up and rush up to be a stepmother?

When she was in Qingfeng Town, she received a phone call from her home, and Jiang Huai said the most: "Hancheng is already a widower with two children, but he doesn't like you? Why are you so useless!"

Jiang Xue has no way to refute, yes, she is not bad, why doesn't Han Cheng like her?

Later, she figured out, whether Han Cheng likes her or not is two different things. If Han Cheng has a father like Jiang Huai, even if he is a revolutionary partner, she will not look down on Han Cheng, and marriage is not a matter of two people. It's a matter of two families. The difference between the two families' family styles is so big that even if they are combined together, it will be a mess after marriage. Why bother?

Jiang Xue was upset, took a deep breath in front of Jiang Huai, and said to his nephews, "I'm sorry, I'm addicted to smoking, you should go out first."

Jiang Huai's face turned blue: "Jiang Xue! What kind of cigarettes do you smoke at a girl's house?! Do you still want to be shameless to marry?!"

Jiang Xue smiled sarcastically and said in a low voice: "Face? Where do I get the face? My face was lost when Shanggang Shanggang was rushing to marry Han Cheng in Qingfeng Town. Besides, with a father like you , who is worthy of me, Jiang Xue."

"You!" Jiang Huai raised his hand to hit her.

Jiang Xuegeng put his head close to his neck, and nodded his face with his hand holding the cigarette: "Hit, you hit, hit this, my father, let me tell you, if you give me a slap, I will definitely be like you in my life. I wish I would not step into the Jiang family again, and I will do what I say!”

Lin Su pulled her daughter behind her and cried, "Enough Jiang Huai! Xueer is thirty years old, not three years old, she is our daughter, can you stop treating her as your puppet? Why does she have to have a relationship with Han Cheng and the Han family?"

Jiang Huai squeezed his fist and retracted his hand, punched the wall hard, and said with scarlet eyes, "It's because you are still so ignorant in your thirties, that a loving mother has many failed children, and a loving mother has more failed children, all of which are the result of your connivance! I'm doing it for her good, do you know? Do you know that the Han family is rich enough to be an enemy of the country? Do you know how much help she would be to our Jiang family in the future if she could marry the Han family?"

Although Jiang Xue didn't like Jiang Huai, she didn't think that Jiang Huai was so vicious because she had a stroke. Jiang Xue took a hard puff and squeezed the cigarette from her hand and said, "My father, the Hancheng family of six is ​​also happy and happy. My son is almost as tall as me, no matter how good he is, what does it have to do with us? Do you still say this is useful? "

"How do you know that the eldest son is about the same height as you? Have you seen Han Cheng? When did it happen?" Jiang Huai can be said to be very good at focusing.

"Han Cheng lives nearby, how fresh it is to meet him, I have nothing to do, I really have something to do in the afternoon." Jiang Xue said and turned to leave.

Jiang Huai yelled at her: "Wait, what about you, when have you seen him? Just now?"

Jiang Xue really didn't know why her father kept staring at Han Cheng, and replied coldly: "Yes, a family of six, holding hands and returning to the Han family's old house!"

After Jiang Xue said to Lin Su, "I'll be back to see you when I have time", she left without turning her head. Lin Su chased after a few steps, wiped tears at Jiang Xue's back, and said nothing more.

Jiang Huai ignored her and paced back and forth before asking Lin Su, "Where's Feng'er?"

Lin Su wiped away her tears: "I don't know."

Jiang Huai snorted coldly and said, "Mother and daughter are the same, it's useless at all." After speaking, she turned around and went out.

Onigiri took his younger brothers and sisters to jump off the plane at the gate of the yard. When it was not his turn, Xiaodoubao went to the back door to let the wind out. If Xiaodoubao ran too much, he was unwilling, so the rice ball had to go by himself. A man was sneaking through the crack of the door to probe into the yard.

The rice ball snorted and shouted, "Who are you, Grandpa? What are you sneaking into our yard?"

Jiang Huai was startled, but recovered quickly, and asked back, "I'm here to play chess with an old friend. Who are you?"

The rice ball has never seen Jiang Huai, or he has seen it and he doesn't remember it. Anyway, people who he thinks are not very important generally don't care about it, and forget it, and this old man is sneaky: "You look for my uncle. Master, right? He used to live here, but he has moved out. If you want to play chess, go to Huaishutou to find other grandpas."

Jiang Huai stared at this handsome young man a few more times, with those eyebrows and eyes carved in the same mold as Han Cheng, it was hard to admit his mistake: "You are Han Cheng's eldest son, right? Is your father inside? I'll look for you. Dad will do too."

The rice ball looked at him: "I'm sorry, my father is very busy. Today we thank you at the Han Mansion. You can leave your name and let my father visit you another day."

During the conversation, the rice ball has already called the old house of the Han family "Han Mansion", let alone, the name is quite worthy.

Jiang Huai saw that this kid was not going in, so he just ignored him. There were all kinds of beating sounds. Maybe the gold had already been found. The gold and silver treasures of the Han family can be said to be an obsession of Jiang Huai. , even if he can't get it, he has to seize the opportunity to open his eyes before giving up. He doesn't care about the rice ball, he patted the back door a few times and shouted loudly: "Hancheng opens the door, it's me, I have something to do with you!"

Onigiri has never seen such a shameless old man. No wonder his father called him out to guard the door. It turns out that there are really people who are so ignorant of current affairs.

"I said old man, don't you understand what I'm saying? I said our house is not today! Pick up! Guest!"

When the three little guys saw that their brother didn't come back for a long time, they all ran over at once.

When the little guys saw their elder brother glaring at the old man on his hips, they lined up to stand beside him, glaring angrily at the old man with the same expression: "Brother, what is this old man doing!?"

The rice ball said: "I said that my parents are not available today. This person doesn't know what An's heart is. He insists on coming into our house."

Seeing the posture of the four children coming out to guard the gate, Jiang Huai became more and more certain that Han Cheng was digging for gold inside, and these little devils must have been arranged by Han Cheng to let them go.

Jiang Huai originally didn't intend to entangle with these little ghosts, but now they have no choice but to intimidate them and say: "I know that Hancheng is digging gold in it, if you don't let me in, I will make trouble to the whole alley to know. , let everyone know that your house is hiding gold, and then report to the police to make your house a landlord, and let me in!"

The big rice ball grew from a small rice ball to a smart big rice ball, and it is not for eating rice. He has seen many shameless people over the years, but it is the first time he has seen the shamelessness of this old man.

Although the back door is not the main road, he will definitely attract a lot of onlookers when he makes such a noise Keep his mouth tied behind the door, let him be so shameless!

Just when the rice ball had decided to do this, the back door of the "Han Mansion" opened from the inside, and Su Xiaoxiao, who was smiling, came out from inside: "Who is making a noise outside our house?"

The four cubs looked at the door and shouted in unison: "Mom! This poor old man!"

The rice ball said, "Mom, this lousy old man insisted on entering our house. He also said that our house was digging for gold, and that he had to report to the police, and that he would make our house a landlord!"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Huai with a smile but not a smile: "Is this uncle slumbering or his head is not working?" Su Xiaoxiao pointed to the top, "What age is this? What about the landlord? We don’t steal or rob our house. What does it have to do with you behind closed doors? What does it have to do with the police?”

Jiang Huai naturally knew that things had changed a long time ago. People who went to the countryside to cut the queue, whether they committed crimes or voluntarily, have begun to return to the city on a large scale, and more and more people have taken off their hats. In this way, people who are popular and professional, and who share the same hatred as the Zhang family, who are in the middle of the sky, even if they use gold to pave the ground, it is their private business. It is impossible to be labeled as a landlord. Police are useless.

"Just kidding with the children. Speaking of which, our two families are still relatives. I just passed by and wanted to go in and ask for tea." Jiang Huai felt like a thousand ants were biting in his heart. How much gold and silver jewelry is hidden, so I have to retreat.

Su Xiaoxiao was about to say something when another majestic voice interjected: "What are you joking about, Uncle Jiang? Hancheng's family doesn't even have a kettle, so I'll come back today to repair the flower bed. I borrowed the tools. If they want to drink tea, they have to come to my house. If you want to drink tea, come to my house. I have a good Dahongpao in my house. It happens that my father also wants to play chess with you. sit?"

Zhang Hongtu touched his pistol intentionally or unintentionally as he spoke.

Jiang Feng's desire for pleasure is not good. He is almost forty years old, and he is still a small staff member who can get by. Otherwise, Jiang Huai would not be so anxious to exchange Jiang Xue's marriage for a better way out. It is not necessary for Hancheng. It’s enough to have the power and the power to help the Jiang family, but Jiang Xue would not agree to change it, so the only choice is to fight Han Cheng to the death. Unfortunately, Jiang Xue is even more unsatisfactory. After he retired, the Jiang family was attacked everywhere. The family has pressed one head, no, he has already pressed several heads now, not to mention the old man of the Zhang family, even Zhang Hongtu, who is about to be promoted to the teacher, he has no confidence at all.

He knew that he would not be able to enter Han's house today, so he could only smile without a smile: "Thank you, I will not be thirsty again, let's do it another day."

Zhang Hongtu patted his gun again, shook his head and said, "My father finally came back on the weekend, he's waiting at home, Uncle Jiang, please come with me."

Zhang Hongtu felt that before Han Cheng finished his work, he should keep a close eye on Jiang Huai, so as not to let this old fox go back and give birth to something else.

Jiang Huai half-squinted: "Are you threatening me?"

Zhang Hongtu shook his head and said, "Uncle Jiang, what are you talking about? I respect the old senior the most, how dare you? But my father happened to be addicted to chess, and he couldn't find anyone to play chess everywhere, so he had to go with me. "

Jiang Huai said, "What if I say no?"

Zhang Hongtu smiled: "Then I have to follow Uncle Jiang cheekily and ask for your approval. After all, I can't find anyone who is better at chess than you and can solve my father's chess addiction."

This Zhang Hongtu...

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing out loud.

Jiang Huai gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, rolled his sleeves, and walked away.

Zhang Hongtu said loudly: "Xiaoxiao, you let Hancheng rest assured to build the flower bed. If anyone dares to disturb Hancheng to build the flower bed today, it will be difficult for me to get along with Zhang Hongtu. I am the first to forgive him!" After speaking, he really followed suit. Behind Jiang Huai.

Su Xiaoxiao finally couldn't help laughing, and she couldn't straighten her waist: "I really can't see that your Uncle Zhang is so funny."

Zhang Hongtu is a very serious and serious person on weekdays. Zhu Zi's temperament is somewhat inherited from him. He didn't expect to fight with the old fox, and he can actually press the other side to fight.

Onigiri gave a thumbs up: "It's not funny, I think my Uncle Zhang is too good, this bad old man is a scoundrel, I knocked his heart out just now, but it made my Uncle Zhang lose his temper and his face turned green. , it's really heartwarming."

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't smile anymore: "Korean rice ball, how many times has my mother said that force is not allowed to solve the problem? Why do you want to do it again? You will harm your younger siblings by doing this."

The rice ball seriously admitted his mistake and had a good attitude: "I was wrong my mother, my Uncle Zhang has just taught me a lesson, I must not take it lightly, and try my best to do what you often say without bloodshed!"

Su Xiaoxiao rubbed the big cub's head: "You have to remember that there are many ways to solve the problem, and force is the worst and the least desirable. If you are legally responsible for this, it will be more than the loss."

The rice ball nodded hard: "Mom, I know, if I have to beat someone in the future, I will put a sack on the person first, so that the other party can't see my face clearly before starting, so even if the other party wants to find someone to settle the account, they won't be able to. When it comes to me, I'm really smart!"

Su Xiaoxiao: "..." Bai Jiao!

"No, in short, unless it's out of self-defense, you can't take the initiative to beat someone under any circumstances."

The rice ball held her mother's shoulder: "Just kidding, mother, look at us so gentle, how can we beat people?"

Xiaodoubao nodded vigorously: "Mom, don't worry, I'm the best obedient and never fight."

Xiaoroubao squeezed his fleshy fist and retracted it: "Mom, everyone else is afraid of me, so I don't have to do it."

Xiao Tangyuan blinked, raised Xiao Liwu and looked at Su Xiaoxiao innocently: "Mom, I have four brothers to protect me, I don't need to do anything."

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
