I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life
Chapter 105 Shen Xiao's Secret
"It's amazing!" Xu Congyi pretended to be amazed, even though she knew in her heart that the actual effect of the telescope was not as Tang Wenhao said.
As Tang Wenhao repeatedly emphasized, "This is a good thing," Xu Congyi finally accepted the gift. Before leaving, Xu Congyi couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Tang, how much did you spend on this telescope?"
Tang Wenhao held out five fingers. Xu Congyi was delighted and thought to himself, "If it's five taels of silver, then Tang Wenhao hasn't lost anything."
However, Tang Wenhao smiled and shook his head, "It's not five taels, it's fifty taels!" He looked at Xu Congyi seriously, as if to say, "Don't underestimate the value of this telescope."
Xu Congyi was speechless when she heard this, but she still held back and didn't say it out loud. She secretly sighed that he was indeed Mr. Tang, and he was so generous. However, for her, this gift was more of a symbol of thought and friendship, rather than something that could be measured by money. Seeing Tang Wenhao's reluctance to give up the gift, Xu Congyi planned to look for a more exquisite telescope that could see farther in the space next time, and then give him another one.
After chatting for a few more words, Xu Congyi said goodbye. Tang Wenhao wanted Tang Xiaowu to see her off, but she said she came with her grandfather, who was waiting for her at Shen's Noodle House. Hearing that the Shen family's grandparents and grandchildren had returned and Grandpa Xu was also there, Tang Wenhao had an idea and decided to go with Xu Congyi to visit the two old people at Shen's Noodle House.
"Grandpa Shen, Grandpa Xu!"
Before entering the noodle shop, Tang Wenhao's voice had already reached the ears of the two elderly people through the crack in the door. They were wiping the tables and chairs, and when they heard Tang Wenhao's voice, they immediately put down the rags in their hands and walked out of the noodle shop with smiles on their faces to greet him.
Seeing this, Tang Wenhao hurried forward and handed over the best-selling cakes in his store with both hands. He smiled and said, "Grandpas, these are cakes that have just been made in the store. I brought them here especially for you to try." Grandpa Shen and Grandpa Xu took the cakes, thanked them repeatedly, and praised Tang Wenhao for his thoughtfulness.
Afterwards, several people sat around the table and started chatting about family matters. Tang Wenhao asked about the two old men's recent physical condition and living conditions, and also shared some new things about his shop. Grandpa Shen and Grandpa Xu listened with great interest. Even when they came out of Shen's noodle shop and sat on the ox cart, Old Man Xu kept praising Tang Wenhao with Xu Congyi. He liked this child from the bottom of his heart.
After cleaning up the noodle shop and having nothing else to do for the time being, Shen Xiao went back to Tang's with Tang Wenhao. He knew that Tang Wenhao had something to say to him, but it was not convenient to say it at home. He also did not want Grandpa Shen to know his life experience for the time being.
When Xu Congyi saw that the roadside bookstore was open, she wanted to buy a few more books. It was then that she realized that she had left her small backpack at Tang Ji. There was some change in the small backpack. She put the Qianliwang that Tang Wenhao gave her in the backpack, but forgot to take it when she turned around. Before she went far, Xu Congyi planned to go back and get it.
Old man Xu drove the ox cart and arrived at Tang's soon. He told his precious granddaughter to go up by herself, and he waited at the door. Xu Congyi greeted the waiters again, and heard that Tang Wenhao and Shen Xiao were both there, so she walked up to the second floor in two steps. Usually, only Tang Wenhao was on the second floor, and the waiters would not go up to disturb him. In addition, Xu Congyi walked lightly, so even if he walked to the door of Tang Wenhao's house, the two people inside did not notice.
The corridor on the second floor was quiet. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she suddenly heard Tang Wenhao's voice.
"I still don't believe that Tang Yang is the murderer of your parents!" Although Tang Wenhao's voice was very low, his emotions were extremely excited.
When Xu Congyi heard this, her heart trembled violently. She stopped and stood stiffly at the door, trying to keep her emotions calm. However, the following conversation shocked her even more: "Revenge", "calm down", "not the right time" these words kept coming into her ears. Xu Congyi knew that she couldn't stand here any longer, these words were not what she should listen to, but at the same time she had to get her small backpack back. She took a few steps back and walked to the stairs. In order to attract the attention of Tang Wenhao and Shen Xiao, she deliberately increased the sound of her footsteps and raised her voice as she walked.
"Master Tang, did I leave my backpack with you?"
The voice inside suddenly disappeared. Tang Wenhao opened the door and saw Xu Congyi standing at the door. His expression was the same as before, as if the emotional fluctuations just now had never happened. He smiled and said, "Oh, Miss Xu, your backpack is indeed here with me. I was just thinking of asking Xiaowu to send it back to you this afternoon."
Shen Xiao also came out after hearing the sound, holding Xu Congyi's backpack in his hand. Xu Congyi took the backpack and felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Shen Xiao looking at her, so she glanced away unnaturally, avoiding Shen Xiao's gaze. She thanked Tang Wenhao, took the backpack and hurriedly left Tang's.
In order to prevent her grandfather from noticing anything, Xu Congyi went to the bookstore and bought a few books. She had already chosen these books, so she didn't need to choose again. After buying the books, Xu Congyi sat on the ox cart. She looked into the distance, but her heart was surging. She couldn't help but think about the conversation she had just heard over and over again. Those words hit her heart like a heavy hammer. The murderer of her father? Revenge? These words that seemed to have nothing to do with her peaceful life appeared so vividly in her world at this moment. She tried to calm herself down, but the doubts and uneasiness in her heart grew like weeds.
Tang Wenhao said "the person who killed your parents". There is no doubt that he was talking to Shen Xiao, but didn't Shen Xiao lose his memory? Grandpa Shen said that he picked up Shen Xiao, so could it be that Shen Xiao actually remembered everything? Remember who killed his parents? And from Tang Wenhao's tone, Shen Xiao even knew who the murderer was. Just now, Xu Congyi heard a name - Tang Yang, this person seemed to be inextricably linked to the death of Shen Xiao's parents. She couldn't help but imagine, is this Tang Yang the murderer? Did he make Shen Xiao lose his home and his parents?
Xu Congyi became more and more absorbed in his thoughts, his brows furrowed, and he was still thinking about it when he got home.
"Yi Yi, we're home!"
"Ah!" Xu Congyi was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice that he had returned home.
"My daughter, what's wrong with you? You look like you've lost your soul?" The weather was nice today, and Li Dahua was basking in the sun in the yard. When she saw her daughter looking strange when she came home, she couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, Mom. I'm just thinking about what we should eat today." Xu Congyi made up an excuse.
"Don't worry about it. You've been very tired these past few days. You've been busy taking care of the guests at home. Just take a good rest. Mom will cook."
"Traveling mother" Xu Congyi did not refuse. After a while, she told her family that she was a little sleepy and wanted to go back to the house to sleep for a while. She did not eat lunch and went back to the house.
