Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

Time continued to pass by uneventfully, and Shi Yan and Lu Jin finally picked a sunny day to get their marriage certificate, becoming a real family in the legal sense.

The school was finally on summer vacation, and because they were going back home to hold a wedding, the two of them basically didn't bring anything with them this time back to Su Province, because Shi's father and mother and Grandpa Lu, who were far away in Su Province, had already prepared everything they would need for their wedding long ago, except for the bride and groom.

"Xiao Lu, Auntie still says the same thing. From now on, my daughter will be handed over to you. She has been spoiled by us. Please bear with her in the future."

Cui Xiulan already had tears in her eyes at this moment, and she looked like she was about to cry as she spoke.

Finally, Shi Jun and his father couldn't stand it anymore and asked Cui Xiulan to help greet the guests. Then the father and son carried Lu Jin out of the new house with sullen faces.

The bride was not required to entertain guests on the wedding day, so Shi Yan stayed indoors obediently, and Lu Jin came back drunk just before the fast clock struck midnight.

"Jiaojiao, I was beaten by my elder brother today."

The man's tone of voice was very different from usual, as if he was acting coquettishly. He pulled Shi Yan's hand and wiped the wound at the corner of his mouth.

"Why did my brother hit you?"

Shi Yan looked at the small wound on the corner of the man's mouth and felt that the extent of this injury was still far from being beaten.

"My eldest brother said that the cabbages at home were eaten by pigs. Jiaojiao, do you think there is a pig as beautiful as me?"

The man still looked coquettish, with two blushes on his cheeks, which, to be honest, looked pretty good.

"No, no, you look the best. Do you want some water? I'll pour some for you."

It is natural for people to be attracted to beautiful women, let alone Lu Jin?

Shi Yan stood up and wanted to pour water for the drunk man.

"Okay, drink some water."

Lu Jin muttered this, and quickly and ruthlessly pulled Shi Yan, who had not yet stood firmly, into his arms.

Next, let’s talk about drinking water, but I can’t go into details about how to drink it.

Anyway, when Shi Yan woke up the next day, she was 100% sure that she had been tricked by Lu Jin.

Lu Jin and Shi Yan's new home is on the second floor of Mr. Lu's small Western-style building, but the old man has difficulty walking so he has been living alone downstairs.

When the two of them came down from the second floor, pushing and shoving each other, the old man was already sitting in the living room on the first floor, playing chess by himself on a chessboard.

"Grandpa, we got up late, have you eaten?"

Shi Yan felt a little embarrassed and her tone of voice was a little awkward.

"It's not too late. Young people usually have a lot of activities, so it's okay to sleep a little longer. Grandpa went to the street to buy breakfast for you this morning. It's still hot now, so go eat it quickly."

"Okay, thank you grandpa."

The two of them didn't have a proper meal yesterday, and they had been busy all night, so they didn't hesitate to sit down at the table and start eating.

When the two of them finally had their fill, the old man took them into the study on the first floor as if he had been waiting for them.

"Jiaojiao, you and Ajin are newly married. Ajin's father passed away a long time ago, and her mother remarried and no longer keeps in touch with us. I am also half buried in the earth, so I can't help you much. Grandpa has a little toy that your grandmother used to carry with her when she was alive."

"When Ajin's mom married Ajin's dad, your grandma was still alive and had already given them a lot of things. Now I'm giving this to you as a gift to celebrate your wedding on behalf of your grandma. Please don't think it's tacky!"

After the old man finished speaking, he took out a sandalwood box from the drawer of the desk. When he opened the box, inside was a gold ring with a vine pattern carved on the ring. The ring did not look rustic at all, but rather had a sense of simplicity and elegance.

"Jiaojiao, you can play with this ring. It's not something precious."

After the old man finished speaking, he didn't wait for Shi Yan to refuse, and took out a bigger box from the drawer. When the box was opened, it was golden.

Shi Yan estimated that there were more than a dozen small yellow croakers visible to the naked eye.

"These are all accumulated by our Lu family from generation to generation. Grandpa receives a subsidy from the town government every month, so he doesn't need to spend any of this. You two young couples have high expenses in the capital, so you can keep these or exchange them for money."

Shi Yan could accept the ring, but she was embarrassed to accept the box of small yellow croakers. She originally wanted to signal Lu Jin to refuse, but she didn't expect Lu Jin to take it so readily.

"We will keep these gold bars given by Grandpa well, but Grandpa, it is not easy for our family to save these gold bars."

"But my father is a man who is devoted to the army. I remember when I was a child, my family donated all their property to the army as military pay. My parents even quarreled with us once, saying that there was nothing left in the house except this building, so how did these things survive?"

Lu Jin felt a little nervous. He felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth about his family being reported in his previous life. He didn't even know that there were so many small yellow croakers in his family in his previous life. His grandfather had been to the battlefield and his father was a martyr. Why would someone suspect their family for no reason?

"Your mother did make a big fuss at the time, but later a wealthy family donated money and grain, and the authorities returned the box of gold bars. Was this returned by your uncle Li?"

"Your Uncle Li lives just two streets over. He used to be your father's guard, but he retired because of a leg injury. He started a small business with the military subsidy."

"But he really wasn't cut out for business, and he lost everything. Later, your father asked someone to get him a job guarding the gate of an elementary school. That was a formal job, and although he didn't earn much, it was easy work, and he could do the job even with his limping leg."

Lu Jin didn't have a particularly deep impression of Uncle Li, but he remembered having seen him before.

He guessed that his family was being targeted probably because of these gold bars. Now that he had taken the things away, when the unrest started, no one would be able to find anything. After all, his grandfather still knew several people who were still serving in the army, and no one could touch him without evidence.

"Grandpa, don't show off your wealth. From now on, just pretend that you don't have these things at home. I will find a place to keep these gold bars properly."

"Okay, grandpa still needs you to teach him."

"I have already handed over everything that should be handed over to you. Just keep it yourselves. You don't need to tell me."
