Chapter 393 Old Iron Box
"My daughter, I can't give you this box. Everything inside is yours."
Bai Nuo took a look at the pile of things dumped on the kang, and subconsciously wanted to take the iron box that had previously contained these things and put them back.
result……
Her husband, Mr. Zhu, held the iron box in his arms with a nervous look on his face, and held it very tightly, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it away.
"Don't stare at Dad's box, look at these things." Zhu Kaixuan pushed the pile of things in front of his daughter again, his eyes showing a little more expectation, and as if... to divert Bai Nuo's attention again.
Anyway, I can't give the iron box in my arms to anyone, not even my daughter... not even my daughter!
Bai Nuo looked at Zhu Kaixuan with a complicated expression. Although some of the things in the small pile were wrapped in old coarse cloth and the contents could not be seen, she could see the other three passbooks clearly.
Regardless of how much money is in it, the passbook given to her by her husband Zhu cannot be empty. Any one of them should be more valuable than the broken iron box in his arms.
The broken iron box in her husband Zhu's arms is square and looks no bigger than an A4 paper. It is about the height of a palm. It is so old that its original appearance cannot be seen. Why is it so precious to her?
"My dear, this is a gift your mother gave to your father when he was six or seven years old. It is a box of chocolate candies brought back from abroad. I remember it was brought back by a relative of the Wei family. It was just a box like this. Your mother was not willing to eat it. I was still young at that time. , especially likes to eat sweets, she ran to my house with the box and stuffed it into my arms. A friend was nearby and wanted to snatch it, but your mother beat her so hard that her nose was bruised and her face was swollen. She pointed at her nose and said that if she dared to steal my things in the future, she would beat him. "
When Zhu Kaixuan talked about these things, there was always a gentle smile on his face, and there was sweetness, happiness, and deep longing in his eyes.
A hand gently stroked the surface of the worn iron box, and the gentle voice became a little hoarse.
"I've thought it through. When Dad gets old, you can just cremate him, then put his ashes in this box and bury it with your mother. This is the first gift your mother ever gave me. When I get to the grave, I'm going to tell her that I've been keeping it well."
Bai Nuo held her hands tightly, a sour feeling rising in her throat and rushing straight to her nose, sour and hot. She suppressed the dampness in her eyes, raised a smile, and nodded vigorously.
"Okay, I'll remember it. I won't forget it."
No matter how outrageous this approach is, she will do it and will never let her father down.
"Dad, what are these?" Bai Nuo didn't want his father to continue to be immersed in the regrets left by his mother, so he quickly picked up the pile of things and began to look at them one by one.
"So much money!" After seeing the number on the passbook, even Bai Nuo, who had secretly become a wealthy woman, couldn't help but gasp and looked at Zhu Kaixuan in surprise. Her expression seemed to say, "Dad, where did you steal this?"
Zhu Kaixuan twitched his lips speechlessly, placed the iron box in his arms on his lap, and looked at his daughter with a smile: "Although your father has not been back for more than ten years, the allowances and subsidies have never been interrupted. It's just that the information has been hidden, and the department that issued the money has changed to a secret department that is responsible for this.
I was only two years old (born in 1935) when the Japanese officially launched a full-scale invasion war. I lived with your great-grandfather and great-grandmother in my hometown for a few years until the army your grandparents were in became a little more stable, and then they took me over.
When you were twelve or thirteen years old, you secretly followed your uncle to the battlefield. When you were sixteen, your mother forced you to take the military academy entrance exam. But as for military service, you can actually start at the age of twelve or thirteen. You will be a conscript for two years, and then you will receive an allowance.
I received the mission and left when I was twenty years old. At that time, your father was already the battalion commander. When we arrived at the mission location, the former regimental commander died in an accident, so the deputy regimental commander was ordered to take over as the regimental commander. The position of deputy regimental commander fell directly on me.
In the following sixteen years, although his official position never moved up, his military achievements continued to accumulate. In the following years, he sat in the position of regimental commander, received the allowance of a division commander, as well as various subsidies and bonuses.
"In those deep mountains and old forests, there's nowhere to spend money even if you want to. But with the money accumulated year after year, just based on the money I've saved over the past decade, Dad can take you with him and make you the richest man in our Zhu family, limited only to the Zhu family."
Zhu Kaixuan picked up the three passbooks, smiled proudly, then leaned over and whispered to his daughter about it.
"However, we can't tell your grandpa and uncle about this. You have to listen to Dad and rely on your parents for support. You can't let your grandpa and uncle lose the motivation to work hard because of this."
Bai Nuo looked at the father in front of him who was teaching him how to live off his parents, and his smile was indescribable.
If she remembered correctly, according to the customs of that era decades ago, men and women got married very early, and therefore had children very early, and there were no effective prevention measures, so many people had children not long after getting married.
This was the case with the old couple of the Zhu family. At the age of fifteen, Mrs. Zhu led the team down the mountain and surrendered to a patriotic warlord who was quite famous and upright.
At the age of sixteen, she married the adjutant of the warlord, who was Mr. Zhu in his youth. At the age of seventeen, she gave birth to the eldest uncle of the Zhu family. At the age of twenty, she gave birth to the fraternal twins of the second and third uncles. At the age of twenty-three, she gave birth to the fourth uncle.
Her father was an accident for Mr. and Mrs. Zhu. After all, the country was in the midst of war at that time, and everyone was living in dire straits. The old lady was reluctant to abort the child, and even went on to kill the Japanese on the battlefield while pregnant.
At that time, Mrs. Zhu seemed to be in her early thirties. In that era, it was considered old age to have a child. In a few years, Uncle Zhu would be able to marry and have children. In addition, Zhu Kaixuan was sent to his ancestral hometown as soon as he was born. Everyone in the family felt that they owed this youngest child, who was spoiled by the whole family and became lawless.
Thinking of this, Bai Nuo also understood why her father could talk about being a parasite so confidently.
After all, those who are loved always have the qualifications and rights to be fearless and arrogant.
just now……
Bai Nuo looked at the passbooks in his hands and the silver dollars, gold bars, jade bracelets and gold jewelry wrapped in coarse cloth, and smiled gently.
After coming into this world, she has been wrapped in love by her family from childhood to adulthood, and now her father is showing her that through practical actions.
Dad is back, and he will bring more people to love you together.
At the same time, he was also using what happened outside the door today to tell her, daughter, you can continue to live in pampering and fearlessness, it doesn’t matter, because daddy is here!
