A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

"So does he really have no descendants? What should we do with these things?" If he has descendants, we can pass them on to them.

Xu Huaian shook his head: "No, I heard that his wife is the daughter of a wealthy family in the provincial capital, but she was weak since childhood and was raised in seclusion, so she was well-read and the two of them hit it off.

Because of his wife's health condition, the couple had several pregnancies but none of them survived. In the end, they only had one son, who was wrongly accused of jumping into the river that year...

He himself is also an only son, so he is considered to be a descendant of the Wang family. There is no one left in the Wang family until he comes to the next generation."

No wonder, she was just wondering why Wang Laocai's family could afford to buy so many expensive jewelry.

Although he was a landlord, at that time he could only be considered slightly wealthy with a small fortune.

No matter how many gold bars there are, their total value is probably only the price of a piece of jewelry. It turns out that she was the wife of a wealthy family, which makes sense.

Gu Qinghuan couldn't help but sigh. What kind of mood did they have when they dealt with these properties?

Life is unpredictable, enjoy it while you can.

When a person dies, it is like a light going out. Once dead, there is really nothing left. Not even a set of clothes can be taken with you.

"It's funny to say that after Xu Mingshan got the Wang family's house, he secretly dug deep into the ground, trying to find the gold bars hidden by Wang Laocai, but he found nothing.

When he was young, he worked as a book boy for Wang Laocai, who was very kind to him and knew the financial situation of the Wang family.

If you try to plant flowers, they may not grow; but if you plant willows by accident, they may grow into a shade.

I didn't expect that we would find it in the end." Xu Huaian said sarcastically.

Gu Qinghuan had not expected that after living in someone else's house and now obtaining the treasures left behind by that person, it would be somewhat against her will to just take them.

"Now that he has no descendants, we can only keep these properties for now.

Do you know where Wang Laocai's family is buried? Let's go and pay our respects. When the situation improves, we can renovate their tombstones and offer incense to them, so that we won't have to waste so many things from them. "Gu Qinghuan said thoughtfully.

It's not realistic to put these things back, so I can only keep them now.

Wang Laocai is a kind-hearted man. Gu Qinghuan decided to try to use the things he left behind to do more good deeds in the future. She believed that he would feel gratified when seeing this from heaven.

"You're right, we should go and pay our respects." Xu Huaian nodded.

Some things work if you believe in them. He used to be a complete materialist, but since Gu Qinghuan came to him, he began to believe that people have past lives and that doing more good deeds will eventually bring blessings.

Xu Huaian knew where Wang Laocai was buried, because Wang Laocai died in the house that winter and no one had ever found him. He happened to come back to visit his relatives and found that Wang Laocai had passed away, so he took him out and buried him personally.

Including his son, who is also buried there.

Although there is no tombstone, it is easy to remember.

The two of them rushed over overnight.

Gu Qinghuan wore a military coat, covering herself tightly with only one eye exposed. The temperature was too low at night and people were too cold to walk.

She bought incense, candles, paper money, fruits, candies, cakes and white wine from the vending machine to use as offerings.

The Wang family’s burial place is not far away, just at the foot of the mountain, on a barren hill. Basically no one dares to go there.

Xu Huaian pointed to a few small mounds and said, "This is Uncle Wang's grave, that one is his wife's, and that one is the Wang family's kid's grave."

The two placed offerings on the three tombs, lit incense and candles, and burned a lot of paper money in front of each tomb.

Gu Qinghuan said softly while burning the food: "Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, little brother, thank you for your care, everything went well.

Use this money quickly. It is enough for you to buy a villa and a luxury car in the underworld. If it is not enough, please tell me in your dream and I will burn it for you."

He said such funny words, but in the most pious tone.

Gu Qinghuan once heard that when burning incense, candles, and paper money for a deceased person, one must call out the person's name, otherwise the body will be picked up by wandering ghosts.

This was what her grandmother had told her. No matter what the truth was, she was willing to believe that their family had been reunited underground and was watching all of this.

A gust of wind blew the dust away.

Gu Qinghuan wrapped her clothes tightly.

The two waited until all the sparks were extinguished before leaving quietly.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep.

Gu Qinghuan took a comfortable bath in the space before returning to her room to sleep.

Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Early in the morning, Zhong Luo Ning cooked Yuanxiao for everyone.

The Yuanxiao in the north and the Tangyuan in the south look similar, but there are actually big differences between them.

Yuanxiao is usually made and eaten immediately and cannot be frozen, as it will crack after being frozen. However, glutinous rice balls can be frozen and have a long shelf life.

The filling of Yuanxiao is relatively hard and sweet, while the filling of Tangyuan is relatively soft and has rich flavors, both salty and sweet.

Yuanxiao is “rolled” out, and glutinous rice balls are “wrapped” out.

Yuanxiao can be boiled or fried, but glutinous rice balls can be boiled but not fried.

Making Yuanxiao is based on the filling. First, mix the filling, then spread it into a large round thin slice. After cooling, cut it into cubes larger than a ping-pong ball.

Then put the stuffing into a winnowing basket and pour an appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour on it. As the stuffing collides with each other and becomes a ball, the glutinous rice also sticks to the surface of the stuffing to form Yuanxiao.

Because Gu Qinghuan's family had sufficient ingredients prepared, Zhong Luoning was in high spirits when cooking and prepared three different flavors of Yuanxiao.

There are black sesame filling, peanut filling, and red bean paste filling.

You Ran had eaten the Yuanxiao prepared by Zhong Luo Ning in previous years, but it was the first time for Dabao and Beibei to know that they would eat Yuanxiao on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Because Liu Guifang never prepared this for them in previous years, and even if she did, they would not get any of it.

So the two children surrounded Zhong Luoning and watched her make Yuanxiao with great interest.

After the Yuanxiao were cooked, before Zhong Luo Ning could remind them, Dabao and Beibei couldn't wait to take a bite. Their mouths were so hot that they almost vomited. In the end, they couldn't bear to spit it out and just swallowed it down.

"So this is what Yuanxiao tastes like. It's really delicious, but too hot." Beibei exclaimed.

Zhong Luo Ning felt sad when she heard this.

"From now on, your mother will make Yuanxiao for you every year, so there is no need to envy others.

Beibei, what you just bit was filled with red bean paste.

Dabao, yours is black sesame."

"Thank you, auntie. The Yuanxiao you made are so delicious. I must eat them all." Beibei said with a flattering smile.

You Ran also imitated him: "I'll eat it all, too."

"Okay, eat it all up. If you don't have enough, just add more. I'll give you as much as you want."

Gu Qinghuan got up late again today.

She sat on the kang, thinking about last night's dream, feeling a little dazed.

Perhaps she dreamed about Wang Laocai last night because she thought about it during the day.

Wang Laocai said that thanks to her incense, candles and paper money, his family has been reunited in the underworld, but they still need to do a lot of good deeds to cultivate their fate in the next life.

I hope Gu Qinghuan can use these treasures to do good deeds and help them gain more merits.
