The lost necklace

The factory that he had been working in for more than ten years suddenly went bankrupt, and Fu Gui, who had been complacent with the name his parents had given him, did not keep his position as director due to the auspiciousness of his name and lost his job.

　　In order to support his parents and twin daughters who were going to school, Fugui went to all the talent exchange markets in the city, but in the end, he was unable to achieve anything because he had "no special skills and no college degree or above".

　　Others had advised him to go to work, to do some hard work, to solve the urgent needs, this idea has been in the office of the pampered used to Fu Gui simply can not accept, and even deeply wounded his self-esteem.

　　He had no choice but to stay at home every day, waiting for Jiang Tai Gong to come to fish. His wife quarreled with him every day, and said: "I was blind back then, I can't believe I followed you to live with ......" and called him a "loser".

　　Six months later once gentle and lovely, to the rich obedient wife cheated on him, wearing a cuckold Fu Gui through the wine crazy, hatred will be the marriage train overturned ......

　　In order to survive, more twin daughters have a good life in the future, Fu Gui took the old and frail parents all the hard-earned savings to buy a car and run a taxi.

His biggest wish is to save enough money to buy a three-bedroom, two-room house to bring his parents, who live in the suburbs, to live with himself and his two daughters. But after several years, the savings are still very little.

That afternoon, Fu Gui received a call for a car, and when he arrived, an old woman was already waiting at the hospital entrance. He carefully settled her in the seat and asked her where she was going.

The old woman hesitated for a moment and replied, "The doctor said I was in the late stages of something ....... I know I don't have much time left, I just want to go one last time, to the small courtyard where I used to live in the country ...... I don't have any relatives, luckily I have it with me." The said live between the outstretched thin and black hand, stroking the bright shiny necklace on the neck, but the corners of the eyes are flooded with tears.

Fugui carefully observed the necklace on her neck from the rearview mirror, feeling that the price of the necklace is not low.

After walking for more than two hours, according to the old woman's guidance, Fu Gui drove the car into a ravine and came to a small, remote mountain village. The village was small, with a few 20 to 30 families. Perhaps the whole village had moved, or perhaps the village was too remote, and all the villagers had gone to the city to buy houses; in any case, there was no one in the village, and most of the houses had collapsed.

　　The car stopped at a small courtyard where two walls had collapsed and only five north rooms were in disrepair. The courtyard was filled with wild flowers and weeds, and a one-person-tall apple tree was filled with small green and red apples, giving people a sudden and inexplicable feeling of excitement and heartache.

　　The old woman's face is full of tears, holding the apple tree and sobbing uncontrollably ......

　　On the way back, the old man did not say a word, slightly closed his eyes, as if into a deep meditation.

　　When he arrived at a luxurious villa complex, the old man paid for it, but Fu Gui refused, even though he was short of money, but the words "I know I don't have much time left" made Fu Gui's heart palpitate, and he decided to give her a ride for free in order to accumulate some Yin Yin virtue.

　　After watching the old man walk faintly into the villa, Fu Gui drove away.

That evening, Fu Gui received another call from the old man, and when he arrived, the old man was not waiting downstairs, but invited him up.

Upon entering the house, he saw that the doors of all the interior furniture were open and there was an open suitcase at the old man's feet, at the top of which were several yellowing photographs ......

The old man's haggard face was full of frustration and his cloudy eyes were anxious, seemingly rummaging for something.

When he saw Fu Gui, the old man cried urgently: "My necklace is missing, I have searched all over the place, but still can't find it, it must have been left in your car!"

Wrongly accused of some annoyed Fu Gui, said in a hard tone: "You look again, see where in the end put."

　　But the old man insisted that he had left it in the car! Fugui wanted to say that the old man "blackmail", but looking at the old man's sad appearance, the words to the mouth and swallowed back.

See Fugui silent, the old man more convinced of their own judgment.

In order to plead with him to return the necklace, she rambled on and on: many years ago, the marriage failed, she and her daughter depend on life. Despite the busy day, but with a well-behaved daughter, she forgot her fatigue, life gradually took off ...... daughter is very understanding, but also very progressive, after graduating from college to study in the United States ......

　　Later, her daughter married a rich American businessman, and on her 60th birthday, her daughter gave her this South African diamond necklace.

However, a few months later her daughter was suddenly involved in a car accident, and when she arrived, her dying daughter said in a weak voice, "Mom, I'm sorry! I can't be with you anymore, you have to live well, let this necklace stay with you during my absence ......"

She was so distraught that she wanted to go with her daughter, but her daughter's dying words made her choose to be strong, and she vowed to live her life for the two of them.

From then on, she hung the necklace around her neck at all times and could not even take it off in her sleep.

The words of the old man made Fugui turn from anger to sadness, tears flowed down involuntarily, at this time, he understood that the necklace was the support of the old man's life, and the loss of the necklace meant something to an old man whose life was about to end! He immediately decided to carry the black pot, with the shortest time, to return her an identical necklace.

He comforted the old man and said, "Don't worry, maybe you did leave your necklace in my car, I'll look for it and send it to you as soon as I find it."

Settle the old man, rich search every corner of the car did not find the old man said the necklace, in order not to let the old man disappointed, he drove around dozens of jewelry stores, by memory to find the same necklace with the old man's neck, finally, finally found a, a price, to more than 10,000 yuan, rich scared out of a cold sweat. He wanted to leave, but the anxious face of the old lady appeared in front of him, and he immediately bought it with a credit card overdraft.

　　When the sun was about to set, Fugui delivered the necklace to the old man.

　　The old man looked at it carefully, and an unspeakable look appeared on her face. She took Fugui's hand and sobbed uncontrollably, saying: "Good man, good man ......"

Fugui used the debt in exchange for the old man's tears of joy, he breathed a long sigh of relief. In his opinion, the money can be earned again, and goodness lost is the terrible thing.

After this incident, he worked hard day and night to earn money from sports cars, and continued to dream of buying a big house and living with his parents and daughter.

A month later, on a whim, he took a pair of daughters to the village where the old woman had lived, and the two daughters played happily, and then the two daughters came crying and complaining to him. It turned out that the younger daughter had found a necklace while collecting apples in the yard where the old woman had lived. Fu Gui took the necklace and carefully identified it to make sure it belonged to the old woman.

　　Fugui immediately decided to send the necklace back, because from the old man's account he knew that the necklace was worth a lot of money and must be returned to its owner ......

　　On the way back, Fugui received a phone call from the old woman, but when he got through, he realized it was a man who said he was a lawyer commissioned by the old woman and had an important matter to discuss with him, and made an appointment to meet at a time and place. But what is the specific matter, the phone did not say.

　　"Hey, it's really bad luck, free service and encountered trouble." A sense of foreboding rushed to his mind, due to distracted , inattentive, several times nearly had a car accident , scared the two daughters pink face white ......

The lawyer registered his cell phone number and ID card and told him that the old woman had died. And handed him a list of the estate and a letter.

Dear Fugui, I am Junsu, the old woman who had rented your car and you didn't ask for the cab fare, with the necklace around her neck. When I got the necklace you recovered that day, although my eyes are not good, but by the feel I knew it was not from my daughter, at the same time, you overlooked one thing, that necklace has my name and my daughter's initials on it, but I decided at that time that the necklace was left in your car, and you found the necklace and did not want to return it to me, only to use this fake necklace to cheat me ......

　　Later, I remembered that the necklace was hung by a tree branch in the old home yard that day, for fear of damage, I took it down and put it on the stone wall in the garden, and then forgot about it when I left.

I wanted to call you and return the necklace you gave me, but I had a sudden attack and put it off. You know that place, please go there and find the necklace for me, and leave it to your daughter when you find it.

　　You are a good man, good people will be rewarded in the end. You made me feel the kindness and warmth of a stranger at the end of my life. By the time you read this letter, I will be deceased, and the lawyer will give you my entire estate, including this villa, and I hope you will take good care of it for me ......

A few months later, Fu Gui took his two daughters to a cemetery, bowed deeply to the tombstone, and with each bow, the identical necklace around the necks of the two daughters would emit a different light ......
