Zhang Yongshou didn't say anything. He subconsciously touched his pipe and found that the tobacco leaves had been finished long ago. He reluctantly put the pipe back into his waist.

Zhang Yaoyang is not so easy to deal with, and continued to pursue the topic: "Dad, I know you are hiding something from me. In the past, our family was very poor and could not take care of these things."

"But things are different now. You have to tell me how to strike a balance when interacting with this Mingtang brother, right?"

Is it a relative or a grudge?

Is it three parts passion and seven parts distance?

Or are they very affectionate, willing to exchange their lives for friendship?

You have to tell him something.

His golden finger can only see a little bit of details, and there are many shackles.

I think if I level up one more level, he will definitely be able to see something.

However, he didn't understand the upgrade rules. He only knew that the first and second levels were very simple and would only take ten days or half a month to complete.

The third level is almost 20 days.

I was reborn in early March and now it’s almost May.

Time is long, we can only endure it.

If Zhang Mingtang had not appeared in this small courtyard, Zhang Yongshou would have kept his mouth shut.

He took a deep look at his youngest son. He was indeed a smart boy who could connect a stranger with his own home.

His cloudy eyes seemed to contain thousands of words, and they looked very heavy. It was a long time before he opened his mouth.

"Yaoyang, this matter... I can tell you, you must not tell your brother. Even if your mother asks, you can't say a word."

"Dad, don't worry, I'm not a gossipy person and I know what's important."

"Hey... this is all a fuss, come with me!"

Zhang Yongshou led Zhang Yaoyang into the house and opened a locked box.

There were a lot of things that had been kept at the bottom of the box in it. When I opened it, it smelled moldy and it was obvious that they had not been touched for many years.

What Zhang Yongshou took out was a tin box that looked a bit old. On it was a beautiful lady in a cheongsam, who looked quite classy.

Compared with their poor family, this kind of thing was very out of place, and no one knew where Zhang Yongshou got it from.

But he seemed to have seen it before, but the memory was a bit long ago and it took time to slowly reshape it.

The iron box was covered with mildew and there was some rust on the edges, so it was naturally a bit difficult to open.

Zhang Yongshou tried very hard but failed to open it. He kept muttering to himself while looking for tools to pry it open.

"It has not been opened for twenty years. It must be... welded shut! Where is the iron awl in our house? I remember it was..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Yaoyang gently pushed the box open.

He did it with ease, as if this thing was easy to open.

Zhang Yongshou's originally gloomy mood suddenly dissipated a lot.

My child is quite capable and should be able to deal with those old accounts.

The child is better than him, and it seems that this family has nothing to hide.

Thinking of this, the hesitation in his eyes disappeared, and he decisively counted the things in the box.

There weren't many things inside, just a yellowed letter lying quietly at the bottom, and some odds and ends from the 1950s and 1960s.

Such as an old pocket watch with a black and white photo, a great man badge, and a small stack of food coupons, the value of which is as much as 500 kilograms.

So much food would make their lives much better.

However, even in the years of scarcity, even when the family was so poor that they could not even afford to eat, and everyone was starving and emaciated, Zhang Yongshou never thought of using the food coupons.

Is there anything more important than life?

Zhang Yaoyang was very puzzled.

Food coupons were still very useful in 83, as they were hard currency.

He dared to say that no family in the village could gather so many food coupons.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time. If it were a few years later, this thing would have been eliminated from history and would have been just a pile of waste paper.

Zhang Yongshou's attention was obviously not on the food coupons, but on opening the envelope.

Because it was sealed in an iron box, it was well preserved.

Zhang Yaoyang squinted his eyes and looked at these things, and the memories of his previous life finally awakened.

He had indeed seen the iron box. On the day his father was buried, he happened to glance at it beside him.

At that time, I even asked what was inside.

His mother Liu Huifang was not aware of the situation and only said that it was an ordinary box containing some of Zhang Yongshou's belongings during his lifetime. They were buried in the grave according to his father's will.

At that time, I wondered why not find a better iron box. After all, the current iron box was too old and had a rotten smell.

Thinking about it now, Zhang Yongshou was planning to take the secret into the coffin and never make it public.

At this time, Zhang Yongshou had changed his original intention and decided to share this huge secret with Zhang Yaoyang.

From this we can also see that Zhang Yaoyang's status in the Zhang family is already quite high, and he is the one who can make decisions on major issues.

"You can read it yourself. After you finish reading it, just let it sit in your stomach and pretend you know nothing about it."

"Don't ask anything. I can't answer that many questions."

Zhang Yongshou sat on a small stool, looking at the earthen wall of his home, in a daze. In fact, his mind was already in turmoil, and he recalled too many past events.

As time passed, many things had already become a little blurry. After all, when his ancestor got into trouble, he was just an ignorant child.

I originally didn't want to think about it again in this life, but the sudden appearance of Zhang Mingtang suddenly broke this peace. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

Zhang Yaoyang quickly read the letter, and a storm also rose in his heart.

I didn't expect things to be so bad, no wonder my dad was so tight-lipped.

If it were him, in order to protect this precarious little family, he would have to make the same choice as Zhang Yongshou.

Some things are so broad that not knowing is the best protection.

He took the letter calmly and opened his pocket watch.

Inside was a middle-aged man around 40 years old. Due to technical issues with the photography, his facial features were a little blurry, but it was still possible to see that he looked somewhat like Zhang Yongshou.

All the members of their family have thick eyebrows and big eyes. Some of them look like a star who played the role of "The Shepherd" in 82.

"Dad, I understand. Leave this thing with me from now on. I will take care of it. Don't worry about it anymore."

"That's fine. Dad believes in you. Hey...be careful and don't let outsiders get in touch with it."

This thing in his hand was like a time bomb. He was filled with panic and couldn't sleep at night. He wouldn't be at peace even if he died.

Now that someone has taken over, no matter what the outcome, he chooses to believe his son.

"Dad, it's no big deal. So many years have passed, and nothing will happen to our family. Let's go and kill the moose quickly. If we wait too long, it will become smelly, and my brother and mom will be too busy to keep up."

"Uh... you just got home and need to rest. Just leave this matter to us."

"Okay, then you guys go ahead and do your work. I'm going to the town now. Let's deal with the goods first. It's not appropriate to leave them in the yard."

If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves missing you.

Their family returned with a full load again. I don’t know how many people will get jealous. It would be safer to deal with it first.

"Ah? Don't you need to rest?"

Zhang Mingtang was sleeping like a dead pig, but Zhang Yaoyang was still full of energy and even wanted to run to the town.

He didn't want to be so anxious. He was in such a good spirit. If he didn't work harder while he was young, it would be a waste of the lucky life God gave him.

The most important thing is that the master's state-owned restaurant is running out of money. If he doesn't make a move, he will have to move further away in the future, which is not worth it.

Moreover, he still owed Qian's family a lesson, so he had to take them home to make up for it.

There are a lot of things waiting for him to deal with. He is busy, really busy...

However, after he handed over the items to the master and received a generous reward, he learned that something had happened to the Qian family.
