"I don't mean anything, don't worry, this room is not well soundproofed, just listen to me quietly!"
Clutching her stomach, she got up and booed Xia Tong. Anyway, in the current situation, if I said that I gave the gift out immediately after she left, then Xia Tong would definitely not believe it, but the fact is exactly like this. What none of us expected was the twist that followed.
"I heard what you said. I have been out for so long and you haven't delivered it. Are you going to tell me that you don't have time?"
"No, do you know who this "Lin Chen" is? "
Take back "Spring and Autumn" and turn to the first page. Books usually have a preface written by famous people, but "Spring and Autumn" is obviously not among them.
Therefore, when this "Lin Chen" commented, he could only write his core thoughts on the first page, which is the so-called "sages wrote "Spring and Autumn", but they wrote the facts directly, and the good and evil can be seen for themselves. If we understand the basic principles of ancient historiography, then small words and great meaning represent the highest state of ancient historiography.” This passage.
"I don't care who he is, it doesn't matter who he is, it doesn't matter if you give the gift, just give me the book, and I will deliver it myself. I really hope you can't do anything!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Friendly reminder, my mother's name is Lin Mo, Lin Chen's Lin..."
If it wasn't because I said that I had sent Xia Tong, I wouldn't believe it. Why would I need to talk so much nonsense now?
This incident itself is quite dramatic, if it wasn't for my grandfather who said it himself, and I know that his character will not deceive people, I don't believe this incident can be so coincidental!
"What do you mean? Don't tell me that "Lin Chen" is a relative of your family, why didn't you recognize it when you saw it yesterday? "
"Almost, it's my grandpa and grandma..."
"Well?!!"
Fortunately, I had the foresight when I spoke, so I covered Xia Tong's mouth.
Otherwise, the grandparents in the living room are not deaf, how could an introvert shout so exaggeratedly? Compared with Xia Tong's personality these days, it is too contrived.
"My grandfather's name is Lin Jiashu, and my grandmother's name is Shen Qionghua. They studied classical literature and Chinese history in college. They made the annotations for this "Spring and Autumn"."
Youdao is that literature and history are not separated. My mother's math idiot may also be part of the reason. Although my parents are both professors, none of them has dabbled in mathematics. On the contrary, the collection of books at home is as large as a small mountain. full.
The same thing I wrote may be in vernacular, but my mother has a wonderful pen, and she is very good at citing scriptures and arguments. It is a kind of enjoyment to read articles written by her usually. That kind of literary sense cannot be cultivated in more than ten or twenty years. come out.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I didn't know that long ago."
Xia Tong's words were very inexplicable. If Lin Jiashu and Shen Qionghua were written on the title page, then I would doubt who the annotators were.
It can’t be such a coincidence. It’s not surprising that there are a pair of people with the same name as my grandparents, but if the two people’s literature dabbles are also similar to my grandparents, it doesn’t make sense.
What's more, when Xia Tong and I saw the word "Lin Chen" yesterday, we thought it was a person's name. Maybe the father's surname was Lin and the mother's surname was Shen, and then the children combined their parents' surnames into one. There are many people who are named like this. I never thought that these are the surnames of two people, and they are two people who are so close to us.
"Then this is fate. My grandfather has so many books, but he put this one on the desk, and I chose this book to give away. It's destiny! Ye Xi, the two of us are really a gift from God." Liang Yuan, you didn't have to believe it before, but now you have to believe it, and even this can bring us into a relationship..."
"Stop! Now the question is, do you know how your grandfather got this book?"
I don't deny Xia Tong's statement, there are 70 billion people in such a big world, this can connect our two families together.
It's okay when we don't know each other, but after we know each other, it's destined.
"How else can he get it? An auction..."
"Come on, my grandpa and grandma's annotations, what's worth auctioning, it's almost the same to buy privately!"
"Auction" was also my previous guess, but when I learned about the origin of this book, I immediately overturned this guess.
Not to mention that this was a gift from grandpa and grandma to the students, the two names of Lin Jiashu and Shen Qionghua alone may have a little reputation in the school or academic circles, but when it comes to the level of auction, the weight is far from enough, At most, Xia Tong's grandfather saw and liked it in private and then bought it.
"So? Fate is fate. How is it different from how to buy?"
"It's a big difference! The problem now is that the book of grandpa and grandma was a graduation gift given to their favorite student. That person also liked "Spring and Autumn" very much, and he admired the way of thinking of grandpa and grandma very much. Instead of saying "gift" It would be better to say "ask for it" is more appropriate, so grandpa gritted his teeth and gave away his original version. At the beginning, he also said that he would cherish it for the rest of his life... Do you understand what this means? "
"My grandfather is your grandparent's student?"
"Nonsense! Can you use your brain? How old is your grandfather and my grandfather?!"
Xia Tong thought about it for a while and knew that it was impossible. Everyone was about the same age, so I might still believe it when they said they were classmates, but teachers and students weren't dreaming?
"My grandfather's student's surname is Qin, and his name is Qin Han...By the way, is it Qin Luo's father?"
A thought suddenly flashed in my mind, among those people who got close to Xia Tong's grandfather, the only one I know now is Qin Luo whose surname is Qin. If you look at his age, his father is not impossible.
"Come on, Qin Luo's father's name is Qin Si, Qin Luo's grandfather's name is Qin Hongru, and the three generations of the Qin family are single, you can find this on the Internet, what does it have to do with this "Qin Han"? ! "
"Then there is no suspense now. This Qin Han must have sold the book, so you see my grandfather is in a bad mood. When he gave away such a commemorative book, he reluctantly gave it away. It should be treasured well, but now that it appears in your grandfather's hands, my grandfather's mentality has collapsed!"
Now let me tell you something, although Qin Han is an elder, he really did not behave properly in this matter. This is like giving something Xia Tong gave me, and I give it away.
Of course, except for the cup of milk tea before, the nature of milk tea is different from these things, and the milk tea will be thrown into the trash can if you don't give it away, but this kind of thing has been decided to be treasured from the beginning.
"Then it has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with my grandfather, it's mainly about Qin Han's problem!"
"It's okay, but this "Spring and Autumn" is not suitable for gifting anymore, do you understand?"
Grandpa couldn't help being emotional when he saw this. After all, he was a proud student. After graduation, no one gave him away, or he reluctantly gave up under all kinds of requests.
What's more, since they are all proud students, and they say they like the book "Spring and Autumn" the most, they must cherish it to the extreme, and it is impossible to just forward it.
So no matter what you think about it now, the final answer is only one "resale".
If the funds really cannot be turned around, and when it is time for life and death, I think my grandfather can still understand the resale, but if it is just because Xia Tong's grandfather paid too much, then my grandfather will definitely not recognize that student again.
I said a long time ago that my grandfather was "pedantic" in his thinking. If he knew that his students were using money to taint knowledge, then the students would really be no different than dead.
"Then I didn't work in vain yesterday?"
"You didn't do much work yesterday, and you said stealing the book is awe-inspiring. Do you know how guilty I am for lying to you?"
Seeing that Xia Tong calmed down, now she shook her head and said nothing more, and there was no need to comfort her anymore.
This time Xia Tong was really busy. She didn't get the set of books she wanted to give at the beginning, and even dropped an enamel paint from her grandfather. After that, she finally saw a copy of "Spring and Autumn" that she liked. A gift from my grandfather back then.
"It's boring, what about my meeting ceremony? It's always uncomfortable to meet with empty hands..."
"I don't know the meeting gift you gave to my grandparents, but there is a meeting gift from your grandparents."
After speaking, he took out a red envelope from his pocket.
Now that I am giving my grandpa and grandma a meeting gift, Xia Tong can stop the meeting, there is no need to give a gift if there is a favor.
As for the meeting gift from grandparents to Xia Tong, if Xia Tong didn't do it like this, they really wouldn't be able to get it out, because once they gave it, it would be tantamount to agreeing with Xia Tong, the grandson-in-law.
"What's this?"
"Your meeting gift, you remember to give a gift even when a girl comes to your door, no matter how thick-skinned grandpa and grandma are, they still have to return the gift!"
"Huh? Really~~"
"However, I declare in advance that this is just a simple return gift, so don't think too much about it."
This point must be explained to Xia Tong, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Although it was said to be a meeting ceremony, in the final analysis it was because after Xia Tong took the initiative, the grandpa and grandma's face was not enough to support them to pretend that nothing happened.
A girl in her teens has the self-consciousness of giving gifts, and two elderly people are more than 100 years old together. How could she have the nerve to let Xia Tong leave empty-handed?
full of confidence
Xia Tong was full of joy when she got the red envelope, but after opening it, she was only disappointed, and poured out all the contents in the red envelope.
"Only money?"
"If there's no money in the red envelope, what is it?"
It was very strange for Xia Tong to ask such a question. She must not have unrealistic expectations for this red envelope, right?
"It's boring, I'm not short of money."
"Hey! Don't throw it away, it's more or less a wish from grandpa and grandma, what's wrong with you taking this money?"
Hurry up and tidy up the stack of banknotes that Xia Tong threw on the bed and stuff them back into the red envelope. The thickness is not [-] but [-]. Judging from the first-time meeting gift, it should be regarded as the most generous one.
I know she is not short of money, but my grandparents don't know that, the ordinary rich second generation shouldn't think they have too much pocket money, right?
What's more, it's not just money, it's also the heart of grandpa and grandma. How could she throw it around like this? It would be too rude for grandpa and grandma to see it.
"I don't want money! Isn't there something commemorative like that? For example, the bracelet my mother gave me before, didn't my grandparents give my grandson and daughter-in-law a betrothal gift?"
"Hire your sister! As I said, this is just a return gift, a simple return gift, how can I choose a gift for you?"
I just talked for a long time, but Xia Tong still didn't listen.
The reason why grandparents gave her things was entirely because Xia Tong, as a girl, came to the door and knew that the act of bringing a meeting gift made them feel ashamed as elders. If they didn't take out something, they would always feel stingy in Xia Tong's heart.
But there is still a difference between returning a gift and giving a gift proactively. Now it all boils down to age. No matter how grandma's attitude changes, "puppy love" is a hurdle that she and grandpa can't get over.
If we are now 23 or [-] years old and the wedding has already been prepared, then Xia Tong will come to the door as the grandson-in-law-to-be, and grandparents will definitely not be stingy in giving gifts.
Their living conditions are much better than those of their grandparents, their pensions are frighteningly high, and my mother is an only child. There are only Xiaoxi and me in this generation. If the family is not rich and there is no need to gnaw at the old, I am afraid that one person will get a set of marriages. The rooms don't blink.
"It's boring, you'd better keep it yourself, count the New Year's money I gave you in advance."
"Where are you pressing your sister? I need you to give New Year's money? If your grandpa and grandma give it to you, you will take it. If you don't take it, you will throw it into the trash can in front of them..."
Xia Tong's words were very harsh. This person doesn't know the truth of "when the moon is full, the water is full and the water is full", and he is not satisfied at all.
If you want to replace it with You Lin and Fang Yiyi, no one will be short of money, but they will never be as disgusted as Xia Tong.
"Tch, your phone is ringing!"
"I know, you put the money away first, don't lose it..."
While instructing Xia Tong to reach for the phone, when I saw the name displayed on the screen, my head instantly grew bigger.
"What? Who is it?"
"Your mother...be quiet!"
Chong Xiatong hissed, and spoke nervously after answering the phone.
"Hey?"
"..."
There was no immediate response from the other end of the phone. Under the strange silence, the more I thought about it, the more something was wrong.
I can't remember when Xia Tong's mother came to me last time. Although I don't know why now, but one thing I can be sure of is that it will never be a good thing for no reason. If I contact Xia Tong again to steal books Isn't this move...
"Where is Xia Tong?!"
"by my side!"
Xia Tong's mother's sudden question startled me, my body almost subconsciously answered, but the next second I regretted it, wishing I could slap myself hard.
