Chapter 12 Family Assets
After dinner, Xiao Hao was asked to go to his room to do his homework. His mother took Yang Shuning to her bedroom and took out a box from under the bed. There was a lock on it. After unlocking, there was a small box, which was very waterproof.
Continue to unlock.
The mother opened the small box and found valuables inside.
"Xiao Ning, these are left by your grandfather and your father, and there are some left by your grandparents. I also gave Chen'er's part to him, but when he goes to join the army, I will keep it.
It's yours, you are the eldest son, and according to the rules, you will inherit it."
There weren't many things in the box, just a few rolls of U.S. dollars and British pounds, about 5,000 U.S. dollars and 3,000 pounds. Two sets of bracelets, a pair of very green jadeite, a pair of Hetian jade. There were also a few chicken bloodstone and Tianhuang stone seals. The materials looked very good.
, all red and all yellow. There are also several jade carvings made of very good materials. Finally, there are 15 large yellow croakers and 18 small yellow croakers.
However, Yang Shuning doesn't understand jade, nor does he understand chicken blood stone or Tianhuang stone. He just thinks it looks very good and should be expensive. And they are all left by his grandfather, a landlord and capitalist, so I think they are not bad.
As for the large yellow croaker and the small yellow croaker, they are actually gold. During the Republic of China, a gold bar weighing ten ounces was commonly known as "large yellow croaker", which is equivalent to 312.5 grams in today's weight. A gold bar weighing one or two ounces was called "small yellow croaker", which is equivalent to 31.25 grams today.
.
15 large yellow croakers are equivalent to 1,000 yuan each on the black market, which is 15,000 yuan. 18 small yellow croakers are 1,800 yuan.
Finally, there are a few watches, three watches and one pocket watch.
"These watches are your father's trophies. They are all confiscated and can still be used. They are all good foreign brands and high-end goods."
Yang Shuning knows a little bit about watches. If you look closely, you can see that among the three watches, two are Patek Philippe and one is a Vacheron Constantin. The pocket watch is also from Patek Philippe. Has his father captured a senior officer?
Otherwise, it would be possible to have these four watches. These watches are very expensive. If you keep them and sell them later, you can give your children and grandchildren a large flat in the capital.
But in a few years there will be a storm, and these jewelry, foreign currencies, and gold have become hot potatoes. I have no space, so I can only think of ways to hide them.
There are only a few watches that can be used, but these watches are too expensive, so it is better to keep them at home. I might as well buy another one for myself. The one I use now is the one left by my father, and the watch is no longer accurate.
Yes, proofreading is often needed.
"The seed water of these jadeite is very good, at least they are ice type or above, and the jadeite is also mutton fat white jade. You can keep it when the time comes. They are all heirlooms of our family."
"Also, our family now has more than 5,000 yuan in savings, including your father's pension and the balance of your father's and mine's wages over the years." Mother continued to talk about the family's wealth.
"Mom, I'll just keep these jewels. Xiao Hao and I can share the money when the time comes. What do you think if Xiao Hao takes more?"
Yang Shuning felt that the items in the box would not be available in the coming years, and could only be used for wages and savings. If it is not possible, use the big and small yellow croakers again.
After putting the things back into the box and waterproofing them again, her mother also gave the key to Yang Shuning, and he kept it.
He took the box back to his bedroom and put it away first. Thinking of the balance of his four-year college bills and the bills given by Uncle Lin, he took these bills and made plans with his mother.
When I got to my mother's room, I opened Lin Bo's bills. In addition to some daily bills for sugar, cigarettes, wine, pork, grain, etc., there was also a bicycle ticket, two watch tickets, and some cloth tickets.
At first glance, the bicycle is a permanent ticket, and the watch is a Shanghai brand men's watch and a women's watch.
"You, Uncle Lin, are serious. How can I, the section chief of a supply and marketing cooperative, collect these bills?"
Mother looked at the bicycle tickets and watch tickets and said, "But this is your uncle Lin's wish, you can use it first."
Then he added: "I also have a few tickets here, which are reserved for you. I have also prepared the ones for you and Xueer's wedding. You can take them first."
After saying that, he unlocked the desk and took out an envelope. The envelope contained two bicycle tickets, two watch tickets, a sewing ticket, a radio ticket, and even an electric fan ticket. There were also
Some furniture tickets, such as bedding tickets, wardrobe tickets, etc. There are also some cloth tickets.
These are all good things!!!
"If these tickets are not rewards from the supply and marketing cooperative, or if they are not gifts from your father's comrades, you can take them. You can also take your bankbook, because you still need money to buy things."
"Mom, I can't afford to buy so much. Apart from other things, we already have a sewing machine at home. Why do we need to buy it again? I think the electric fan is good, and I bought it just for the weather."
p>
Counting the bills given by Uncle Lin and his mother, Yang Shuning held three bicycle tickets, four watch tickets, one sewing ticket, one radio ticket, and one electric fan ticket each. The furniture ticket could buy seventy-two legs.
The total number of cloth tickets is ten pieces.
It seems that I am still a small rich man, and these bills can be used as the head of the black market.
"You just know how to enjoy it, but I've given you the bills and money, so you just have to keep it yourself. Also, your father-in-law and I have discussed it, and next Sunday is a good day for you and Xue'er to get married. You can't do that."
I have been playing with her for nothing. Although I am my fiancée, I still have no certificate and no banquet."
"Ahem..." Yang Shuning felt embarrassed. It seemed that Xueer from home was indeed loved by her mother, but she was originally planning to get married, whether it was a month earlier or a month later.
"Okay, then I'll start getting ready tomorrow?"
"While it's still dark, go to your father-in-law's house first and tell Xiaoxue that you two will go back to your work tomorrow to get your marriage certificate and get it first."
Mother Yang began to give instructions.
"Okay, I'll be there right away. Mom, do you have anything else?"
"No, just get the certificate tomorrow and go and change all the furniture in your room first. The ones you used before were all brought back by the army. Since you are getting married, just change them all to new ones. Also, in the future
Keep the heirlooms for yourself, and leave the money to Xueer."
"Why don't we just renovate our home? I think the decoration in our home is too old. The last time we renovated it was just a patchwork. This time, just in time for my wedding, we can just renovate it all."
p>
Yang Shuning still wanted to live more comfortably. When he moved in in 1955, his mother only renovated it. The only thing that satisfied him was that there was a toilet, so he didn't have to queue up for the public toilet like other people in the courtyard.
"Okay, since you are in charge from now on, you can make your own decisions."
My mother was happy and handed over the power directly.
"Mom, even if I am the head of the family, you still have to give me advice and help me check things. You are the anchor of the family."
"Go, it will be dark if you don't go."
