Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2609: Chapter 2545: Love Poems and Red Beans

"Thank you, Dad. I asked Guan Tiezhu to tidy up before he returned, and Guan Tiezhu found a locked iron box over there. Dad, do you remember it? He threw it away, so he brought it back to me. It’s a very pretty iron box engraved with flowers, probably used to be a candy box."

"Box?" Jiang Shiheng hesitated for a moment, "What’s inside?"

"I don’t know because it’s your stuff, so I didn’t ask you, of course, I didn’t open it."

"Take a look inside, as I have no memory of it."

"Then I’ll try to open it later?" Chiang Xiao said, "If it contains any secrets, then I’ll know!"

"You little girl, there aren’t any secrets that I can’t let you in on now." Jiang Shiheng burst out laughing.

After hanging up the phone, Chiang Xiao couldn’t contain herself; she immediately ran to get pliers and twisted the lock open.

It was just a very small lock, so it didn’t take much effort.

The box opened, revealing a few neatly folded paper slips and a small scent sachet embroidered with lotus flowers.

It seemed like there wasn’t anything unusual.

Chiang Xiao picked up those paper slips and opened the first one, finding a line of poetry.

A love poem.

And it was in her father’s handwriting.

A whole line of poetry written like that? Kept so carefully in an iron box?

What does this mean?

Does it mean that back then Jiang Liu might have truly liked someone?

Otherwise, why would he write a love poem?

The second paper slip was also a love poem, and still in her father’s handwriting.

The third paper slip was another love poem.

The fourth paper slip had only four characters.

My heart is joyful.

Hmm?

What does this mean?

Joyful about what?

Could it be that her father’s diary-writing style was unique, writing love poems and short phrases on paper slips?

These paper slips had a slightly yellowed tint on the edges but remained neatly intact without any tears, carefully preserved.

She immediately opened the scent sachet.

Inside the sachet, a few red beans tumbled out into her palm, slightly losing their luster, a dull red.

Red beans?!

Love beans?!

The hidden contents turned out to be these?

Chiang Xiao was at somewhat of a loss for words.

She couldn’t help but make another call.

"Dad, you definitely had a girl you liked back in the day!"

This statement from Chiang Xiao nearly made Jiang Shiheng, who was drinking water, spit it out.

"Why are you saying this?"

Chiang Xiao described the matter of those paper slips and red beans, leaving Jiang Shiheng speechless for a long time.

"Dad?"

Not hearing his voice for a while, Chiang Xiao quickly called out.

"I’m here."

Jiang Shiheng sighed inwardly, looking at the water in his cup, the faint ripples leaving him somewhat dazed.

Sixth Brother...

Suddenly, he seemed to hear someone calling him softly.

A gentle voice, tinged with a bit of shyness.

Who?

Jiang Shiheng’s hand trembled, the cup fell, hitting the ground, making a crisp sound.

Water splattered everywhere, even on his feet.

Chiang Xiao heard the sound and was immediately startled.

"Dad, what happened? What’s going on?"

Jiang Shiheng snapped back to reality, "It’s nothing, nothing, just broke a water cup."

"Xiao Sixth, what sound was that?"

Chiang Xiao heard a female voice coming from the distance, not very clear, probably quite far away. But if she was correct, the speaker was Lu Shuangshuang.

What was this hypocritical Miss Lu doing, running into her dad’s courtyard so late at night?
