To some extent, Xia Tong was telling the truth, but obviously her mother didn't want to listen, and now her face was full of impatience.
"What did Ye Xi provoke you for? I can't fight against him anymore, can I?"
"Yes! I don't want to talk nonsense with you right now, and don't give me a hard time. Let's settle your account slowly when we get home. Where is the "Spring and Autumn" now?"
"At this……"
Quickly opened Xia Tong's satchel, and handed "Spring and Autumn" to Xia Tong's mother.
The only good news now may be that our protection of this "Spring and Autumn" is still in place. If the paper has not been wrinkled for so many years, if it becomes dilapidated because of us, then Xia Tong and I will really become sinners.
But everything is fine now, the only thing worthy of criticism is Xia Tong's act of stealing books, as long as she returns home with a sincere attitude, I don't believe her grandfather can really do anything to her.
"You're really capable, Xia Tong. Now that you've stolen everything from your grandfather, don't you look down on your family?"
"We don't have any in our family, otherwise why should I go to such trouble?"
"Hey!"
Xia Tong's words are very dangerous. After doing something wrong, she has no self-consciousness of introspection. Now I, an outsider, think she is a bit too much, so how the hell can I pretend that I didn't hear it.
But the reality is often unexpected. If Xia Tong's mother had a gloomy face just now, after listening to Xia Tong's explanation, her expression gradually eased.
"Oh, so it's me and your dad who are sorry for you? If you give gifts to others in the future, can you tell me in advance, and I will let your dad buy it so that you can steal it?"
"..."
Xia Tong is not a fool, the so-called abnormality must have a demon, her mother's sudden change in tone is definitely not a good thing.She dared to talk back when she was furious just now, but now she keeps silent like me.
"Do you know what you stole? Of all the books in your grandfather's collection, this is the one he cherishes the most. Fortunately, the book is fine, otherwise I will see how you will pay for it!"
The most cherished one? !
Hearing this, I couldn't help but frown. The situation now is a little different from what I expected. I never thought that the things written by my grandpa and grandma would be rated so highly in the eyes of Xia Tong's grandpa.
You must know that grandpa and grandma are not famous people, and these comments should be heard in the lectures of grandpa in the past, and the printed ones are definitely more pleasing to the eye than the handwritten ones.
Now the only valuable book may be this 40-year-old book, but it is only a few thousand yuan at most. Is it qualified to compare with Xia Tong’s other books in the collection?
"Really?"
"..."
"That means I got it right, besides, this book was originally..."
"You're still stubborn, aren't you?"
Xia Tong was interrupted by her mother before she finished speaking. Now Xia Tong's mother doesn't know the origin of this book, otherwise her attitude would not be so bad.
Just ask, so what if it is broken?
Anyway, what Grandpa Xia Tong values in this book is the annotations. At worst, let my grandpa copy another copy. Although it is a bit troublesome for the old man, but if I ask for mercy, it is for his future grandson-in-law, then grandpa will definitely not be stingy. own pen and ink.
"Okay! I won't get angry with you, I'll let you talk to grandpa by yourself."
"Let's talk, what about the car?"
After Xia Tong was interrupted, she had no intention of explaining, but now she speaks confidently.
This book was written by my grandpa and grandma. If her grandpa is so interested in "Spring and Autumn", then he can even let them meet after that. What is a mere book?
It's just that Xia Tong's mother felt that she couldn't communicate with Xia Tong, and now she didn't even want to find fault with me, so she turned around and walked to the car parked by the road, which gave Xia Tong and I the last chance to chat.
"Hey! Did you take gunpowder today? The two of us stealing books is enough trouble, don't jump out when your mother scolds me..."
Anyway, it's not the first time I've been scolded by her mother, and it's true that we did something wrong this time. If Xia Tong could keep silent, the atmosphere wouldn't be so embarrassing now. I could turn around and leave after being scolded, but Xia Tong has to go home!
Let’s not talk about the distance now, just talk about what to do in the car later, I’m thankful that the mother and daughter didn’t quarrel along the way, the cold war is the best situation.
"Who made her treat you so badly? I know what to say when I see grandpa. Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion!"
"This is the best way. You must never say those words just now."
To be honest, I don't believe Xia Tong's guarantee to me at all. This person's promise has been a cold joke since the first day I knew her, but now this situation is out of my choice. I can only pray that Xia Tong will rely on her Spectrum, don't push me into the fire pit again.
Her mother hates me and it's just a small matter, but her grandfather's hatred of me is a final decision, and the words at home carry the most weight.
"I know, I know, this book was originally written by my grandpa and grandma. What am I afraid of? I'm just waiting to see my grandpa's reaction when he finds out about this. Isn't the most precious collection of books a family in the end? What's there to cherish?" ?”
Dad, what are you thinking?
"Grandpa~~"
After the girl entered the door, she saw the two people sitting on the sofa, and stepped forward to offer her hospitality immediately. As for the seriousness on their faces, she had no right to see it now.
It doesn't matter what you did outside just now, but you still have to be honest when you get home, otherwise, once you fall to the point of "unaccompanied", then this matter will really become troublesome.
"Where's my book?"
"Here...return the jade to Zhao!"
Before her mother could make a move, the girl turned around quickly and took "Spring and Autumn" from her hand, handed it back to the old man and stood obediently in front of the coffee table, bowing her head in silence, clearly ready to be scolded .
"Xia Tong, can you explain to me in front of your parents now?"
"Explain what~~"
"What are you explaining, why do you want to be a thief?!"
The girl "knowledges the question", but because of the hidden weakness in her tone, and the "Spring and Autumn" has not been damaged, the old man hides her "anger", and now all she shows is "impatient".
But to everyone's surprise, they thought that the girl lowered her head because she was ready to be scolded, but after the old man asked this question, not only did she raise her forehead high, even her expression became calm and composed.
"I didn't become a thief. I left a note. How can a thief leave his name after stealing something? Isn't he a fool?!"
"Don't play tricks with me, what's the use of that note!"
After discovering that "Spring and Autumn" was stolen, the old man indeed found a note at the bottom of the pen container, which contained no words, only a smiling face drawn by hand.
If this can be considered stealing, then there will be no thieves in this world.
Right now, the person who stole this book is my granddaughter, if someone else took it, the consequences could be imagined.
"Say it! Why are you stealing?"
"It's not "stealing", it's "taking"! "
"Don't play tricks with me, just tell me what you want to do?"
"Give it away..."
? !
"Send to whom?"
After getting this answer, the old man's tone obviously changed.
He has lived for so many years, with so many things happening around him, and now for the first time, he has the illusion that he is wasting his time, and he can't understand what the word "send" in his granddaughter's mouth means.
"Ye Xi's grandparents..."
"Xia Tong!"
After the girl opened her mouth, the woman stopped her immediately, but it was too late to say anything now, the father who should have heard what should have been heard had heard it all.
Regarding the point of "gift giving", she figured it out when she just passed by. It's not the first time that Xia Tong stole something and gave it to others. There are a lot of things missing at home for no reason, and she has turned a blind eye for so long one eye.
But she only forgot to tell Xia Tong not to tell the truth, and now even if she said she collected it, it was better than that.
"Is this the good daughter you two have taught?"
"Grandpa, listen to me."
After confessing, the girl didn't have the slightest sense of doing something wrong. Since she knew the source of the annotation of this book, she has nothing to be afraid of now.
Giving it to Ye Xi’s grandparents is considered to be a return to the original owner to a certain extent. After all, as the first owner of this book, he does not want this book to fall into the hands of others, but the old man does not know what is going on. I am especially angry after hearing this.
"I heard what you said? Take my things to give to other people's grandparents, you are really "filial"! "
"Ye Xi is not someone else, he is my fiancé..."
Under the rage of the old man, the girl muttered this sentence. She could hear another meaning hidden in the word "filial piety", but now her attention was on the word "others".
She would rather be scolded for being unfilial than hear Ye Xi being excluded from her family by her grandfather.
"What fiancé?! He is not someone else... who is?!"
"Dad, are you alright?"
Seeing that the old man was panting and clutching his heart again, the woman rushed forward immediately.
It's no secret at home that my father has a bad heart. If you add this time, then Xia Tong and Ye Xi got angry in the last two times.
But just when she was about to teach her a lesson, the man beside her said something extremely indifferent.
"Xia Tong... Kneel down! Apologize!"
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, but this book originally belonged to Ye Xi's grandpa and grandma."
Hearing this, the girl just bit her lip. Although she was dissatisfied with the man's opening, she didn't hesitate to kneel when she said kneeling afterwards.
But the old man was not satisfied, all his attention was attracted by what the girl said just now, and now he frowned even tighter.
"I have read this book for more than 40 years, and you actually told me that it belonged to someone else? What do you think?"
The old man was not angry, he just found it ridiculous now.
If this book was auctioned by myself, and someone else suddenly said such a sentence, although I would feel surprised, I would definitely not completely deny it in my heart.
But now, no one should know the origin of this book better than herself. Xia Tong suddenly said, did she think that this book was auctioned, so she wanted to deceive herself?
If he pushed the boat along the way, then Xia Tong should say that this book was originally collected by Ye Xi's grandparents, right?
"I didn't think much, I have evidence!"
The girl stood up, patted her knees and walked to the old man, opened the first page of "Spring and Autumn" and pointed to that paragraph.
"Look, isn't there "Lin Chen" here? I thought it was a person's name at first, but later I found out that it was two surnames. "
"So? What does this mean? There are so many people surnamed Lin and Shen in the world. Could it be that this book has something to do with them all?"
"Grandpa, it doesn't make sense to say that. This Lin refers to "Lin Jiashu", and Shen refers to "Shen Qionghua"..."
???
"What did you say?"
