Chapter Seven Her Name is Jiaojiaoer
The Wang family mansion.
Mrs. Wang, who was waiting at the door of the house, welcomed Xue Zijin and her daughter into the main room and sat down, then took Wang Shuzhen and looked at them carefully.
Seeing that the corners of her daughter's eyes were covered with fine lines and her hair was stained with some white frost, the old lady was angry and distressed, slapping her daughter and crying: "Damn girl... I asked you to come back, but you had to stay there.
Honor other people's parents, look how thin you have become now..."
"Mother... my daughter is wrong, my daughter is unfilial..."
Wang Shuzhen had been holding back her tears, but now that she saw her long-lost mother, she could no longer hold back her tears and burst into tears.
Xue Zijin's eyes turned red as he looked at the mother and daughter holding each other's arms and crying in front of him.
Such a touching scene, plus it's temporarily safe now.
Those emotions that had been deliberately ignored suddenly came up.
My mother must be in tears now, and my father's habit of smoking may have relapsed.
There is also an old grandfather.
Although the old man is in good health, he suffered a gunshot wound to the chest in his early years on the Vietnam battlefield, which makes him prone to coughing and asthma when he gets excited.
In the past, I always tried different ways to make him happy. Now that I am dead, I don’t know if those brothers who only know how to protect their family and country can make grandpa happy.
There are also uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts. Without me, a caring little cotton-padded jacket, who always makes them happy, my cousins and cousins will be scolded a lot more.
Thinking of these relatives who loved me so much in my previous life.
Xue Zijin's nose felt sour, and he couldn't help lying on the short table anymore and cried out.
"Jiaojiao...Why are Jiaojiaoer crying?"
Mrs. Wang pushed her daughter away from her arms and quickly pulled her granddaughter into her arms who was crying and her shoulders were hunched.
Wang Shuzhen, who was crying happily, didn't notice. She was pushed by her old mother and hit the low table in front of her with a loud bang.
Wang Shuzhen: "..."
Xue Zijin raised his head when he heard the voice and saw the cheap mother covering her forehead and looking at the old man holding her with an accusing look.
Ouch!
Those aggrieved little eyes look like a puppy that has been abandoned by its owner!
Xue Zijin blinked his moist red eyes, and his sad mood was instantly washed away.
Mrs. Wang pulled her hand away and found that there was only a little red mark on her forehead. She was relieved and deliberately put on a straight face to teach others.
"What are you looking at? This man is dozens of years old and he can't even sit still."
Mr. Wang, who was sitting cross-legged at the top, saw this and hummed softly, resisting the urge to get up and come over to take a look.
Wang Shuzhen pursed her lips, wiped away the tears still hanging on her daughter's eyelashes with a handkerchief, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Mother... Jiaojiao's nickname is Jiaohaojiao, not Jiaojiao..."
"I want you to talk more."
Mrs. Wang glanced at her daughter, then turned to look at the little girl with only a few ounces of flesh in her arms and said, "From now on, I will call you Jiao Jiao'er."
What Jiaojiao!
It sounds awful.
But...this is the nickname given by Xue Lang!
Before Wang Shuzhen could say anything, she heard her daughter speak first: "Hmm... Grandma's nickname is really nice."
This is really not her flattery.
But in her previous life, her nickname was Jiaojiao.
Therefore, she was very happy that her grandmother would change her nickname back.
Seeing that her temporary name was recognized, Mrs. Wang immediately burst into laughter.
"As long as you like it...as long as you like it."
She held the little girl's rough little hand, and the smile on her face faltered slightly.
How much hard work has been done to get such thick calluses on the palms of your hands!
The old man glared at his daughter who was hesitant to speak again, and then said to the old servant Qinggu who was standing by: "Go! Bring over the box I prepared for Jiao Jiao'er, and bring over the ointment as well."
"only!"
Qing Gu smiled and took a few steps back, then turned around and left with brisk steps.
She is the dowry maid of the old lady. These old ladies have trouble sleeping and eating for the eldest lady, and rarely show their face.
Now the eldest lady is back, and she has brought back such a sweet-tongued little girl, who has made the old lady so happy that she unconsciously loves this cousin a little more.
Qinggu soon came over holding a colorful and exquisitely crafted jewelry box.
Mrs. Wang pushed the box to Xue Zijin's side: "Come on! Open it and see if you still like it."
Xue Zijin blinked, and Wang Shuzhen nodded for her to accept it.
Then she reached out and carefully opened the lid of the box.
The round Dongzhu necklace, the brightly colored gemstone headpiece, and the brilliant gold jewelry.
Good guy!
In the 21st century, this box of things would surely be worth millions of dollars in antiques!
But what she needs now is not these!
Xue Zijin sighed and gently closed the box.
Seeing her clear eyes, Mrs. Wang and the old man above her looked at each other, satisfaction flashed in their eyes.
In fact, this box of jewelry was also used by the two of them to test their granddaughter.
If she had the same character as those in the Xue family and showed greed when they saw the jewelry in the box, then they would only think of ways to alienate her from their daughter.
Finally, she found a son from a decent family and married her off with a dowry.
"What? Jiao Jiao'er doesn't like these?"
Mrs. Wang had a smile in her eyes and her voice was even more cordial than before.
"No grandma!"
She pushed the jewelry box back to the old lady: "If you want to give Jiaojiao something, can you give Jiaojiao a few acres of fertile land?"
Fertile farmland??
After Xue Zijin finished speaking, everyone present looked at each other in shock.
Wang Boliang came to his senses and asked with interest: "This box of jewelry is worth more than several acres of fertile land. Are you sure you want to exchange it?"
"Change!"
Xue Zijin nodded vigorously: "Jiaojiao likes farming. Jiaojiao will take good care of the land given by her grandfather and grandmother. It will definitely make the crops grow quickly and well."
Jewelry is valuable, but she can't take the gifts from her elders and sell them to buy land!
It would be strange if he couldn't be scolded to death.
She had experience in her previous life.
One time, she sold a watch given by her grandfather, but her grandfather sent someone to take it away before she even had the money.
That night, she was forced to listen to the old man's strange nagging all night long.
In the end, I only managed to coax the old man into peace by slapping my shoulders and back, and promising again and again that I would never sell the things he gave me again.
Wang Boliang's eyes lit up when he heard that the little girl still likes to farm.
Farming is great!
Their Wang family has plenty of good farmland.
So he waved his hand and gave Xue Zijin fifty acres of dry land and twenty acres of fertile farmland.
"The wheat in these fields will be ripe soon, and grandpa will give it to you as well."
When Xue Zijin heard this, his watery red eyes lit up instantly: "Thank you, grandpa! Grandpa, you are so kind. When the wheat is harvested, Jiaojiao will prepare something delicious for you."
"Oh...you know how to cook?"
Mr. Wang raised his eyebrows. According to the news he received, this girl was either hunting in the mountains or tending crops in the fields every day. It didn't say that she knew how to cook!
All the food for the Xue family is cooked by his good daughter!
"Of course I will."
The original owner would occasionally help her mother cook, and of course she had some cooking skills.
As for her...
She makes scrambled eggs with tomatoes very well.
and!
She hasn’t received her life-sustaining food for today yet!
Given such a good opportunity to enter the kitchen, of course she behaved well.
