70’s Villian Female Educated Youth - Chapter 216
After buying the house, Uncle Li also set about going back to Qinjia Village, bringing back the things from Qinjia Village.
Uncle Li went back to the Qinjia Village first. After finishing his things, he explained to his apprentices clearly about his future living in the city. Those who are willing to follow will follow. When the time comes, he can pack food and accommodation, just look at them. Happy to go.
When everyone heard that there was something unhappy, who wouldn’t want to go to the big city, there is always no good in the city in this country.
After several apprentices agreed, their family members were very grateful to Uncle Li, saying that they would invite him to dinner and give him the vegetables and fruits at home.
But everyone is also curious. Uncle Li said before that he would never live in a provincial city in his entire life, saying that Xiangxiang is good.
Especially the mother of the captain, knowing this is the clearest thing.
After all, Qin Lingling also said before that he would let Uncle Li live in the provincial capital. This is to facilitate the delivery of their goods, and the most important thing is to facilitate the elderly to travel.
But at the time, Uncle Li said that he was unwilling to say anything. He said that the countryside was good and he didn’t want to go to the provincial capital. He couldn’t get used to staying in that place.
So the captain’s mother heard that Uncle Li was going to the provincial capital, and she joked: “Didn’t you say you can’t go to the provincial capital? Why did you suddenly change your mind?”
Uncle Li smiled and said: “It’s different, it used to be different from now.”
In the past, he had no sons and was lonely. When he went to the city, he would provoke his sorrow. It would be better to stay in the country and live a quieter life.
But now it’s different. The son is back. The couple are both in the city. His father can’t stay in the country.
The captain’s mother was puzzled, “Why is it different?”
Uncle Li laughed again.
The captain’s mother saw that Xiao Rong was full of him today, and she had never seen him before, and then asked, “What is it that makes me so happy?”
“I found my son.” Uncle Li said, with a smile on his face.
The captain’s mother was taken aback by what he said, “Really? Isn’t this… Isn’t this saying that it’s been decades? Can you get it back?”
In this village, the one who has a lot of contact with Uncle Li is the captain’s family, and captain’s mother is also an enthusiastic aunt, plus Qin Lingling’s previous entrustment, so a lot of things about Uncle Li’s family are known and understood. When Uncle Li was young, he had wives and children, but his wife was pregnant with a big belly, and died accidentally, and the child was gone.
This child has not been seen for decades, and the chance of finding it back can be said to be almost zero.
So when I heard Uncle Li’s words, the captain’s mother couldn’t believe it.
Uncle Li nodded, “Really, I didn’t expect that I would be able to find my son. After so many years, I would have been desperate. I didn’t expect God to treat me thinly. After so many years, let me find came back.”
“Then… Then, when you come back this time, why didn’t your son come with you?” The captain’s mother was also curious about Uncle Li’s son. It’s been almost 30 years since I’ve been apart, but I can still get it back. How strange? Moreover, what does this person look like?
Uncle Li smiled, “You know this person too!”
“Me too?”
Uncle Li nodded, “It’s Lingling’s husband, Gu Zheng!”
“Huh?” The captain’s mother was even more shocked this time, “It’s actually him? He, he… is your son?”
“Yes. I didn’t expect it, even I didn’t expect that my son is under my nose, but I don’t know anything. If he didn’t have the token I gave to my lover in the past, I might not die. I know he is my son.”
The captain’s mother felt that she was really shocked today. There was such a coincidence in this world.
“Then how did you meet each other?”
Uncle Li briefly talked about the process of acknowledging each other. The captain’s mother was surprised and delighted, “Listening to you, this little Gu is really similar to yours. I didn’t pay much attention before. Now think about it. The eyes of the nose are similar to you, that is, we never thought of you as a father and son before.”
“Yes.”
“Since I have found my son, it is indeed a happy thing. From now on, our two families will be regarded as relatives. Lingling is my goddaughter, and Gu Zheng is your son again.”
Uncle Li heard the sound and nodded with a smile, “What you said is right, we are also considered in-laws.”
“Then you live with Lingling and the others these days?”
“Yeah. After raising this foot, I wanted to come back earlier. The young couple refused. I stayed a little longer. This time I found a house. I plan to keep busy with my business in the city. This is noon and night. , I can cook them a meal, share the burden.”
The captain’s mother talked a lot with Uncle Li all afternoon and was happy for him.
“That’s good, you don’t have to be alone in the future. There will be two children with an old man looking after them, so life will be better.”
“Um.”
When Uncle Li was almost done, Gu Zheng and Qin Lingling asked for a tractor on the weekend to transport all the things Uncle Li had to bring to the city.
At noon, they had a light meal at the captain’s house.
The two brought fish and pork.
The captain’s mother wasted money one bite at a time, “You see that you bring so much food every time you come, don’t you need money?”
Qin Lingling smiled and said: “This is to honor your second mother, so don’t be polite to me.”
“Oh, you said you kid, okay, then come in and sit down quickly.” With that, the captain’s mother looked at Gu Zheng behind Qin Lingling and exclaimed: “I really didn’t expect that, Gu Zheng, you are Lao Li’s. Son, it’s been thirty years, and it’s not easy to find you back!”
Qin Lingling asked, “Second mom, who told you?”
“Who else, Xiaogu his father, Lao Li!” The captain’s mother smiled and said: “He has been in a good mood these few days since he came back, and he laughs when he meets everyone. He has lived here for more than half a year. I haven’t seen him smile so happily before, and I only found out when I asked, it turns out that Gu Zheng is the one who found his son.”
“No wonder.” Qin Lingling smiled: “We didn’t expect that Uncle Li was Ah Zheng’s father. I used to see them look like each other, and I told Ah Zheng, but it was just a joke, who Know that it was true.”
“No matter what, this can be considered a happy thing. Gu Zheng found his father, and this old Li found his son. This heart is settled.”
“um, yes.”
They left with the tractor after having lunch at the captain’s house. Before leaving, the captain’s mother took Qin Lingling to talk.
The mother of the team leader also said that Uncle Li and Gu Zheng are now a father and son, telling her that getting along with her in-laws is different from how she and Uncle Li were in the past. At that time, Uncle Li was not Gu Zheng’s father, and the two of them were just mutual benefit. The relationship of mutual help, but now Uncle Li is her father-in-law, some things can be done, and some things can’t be done.
Qin Lingling said that she knew it all.
The captain’s mother smiled and said, “Second mother knows that you are a good girl. Alas, it’s a pity that your mother left early. If you want to know how good you are now, how happy she should be?”
Qin Lingling glanced at the top of her head, “It’s okay, she’s watching it in the sky now, and she will see it.”
When I got into the car and went back, Gu Zheng asked Qin Lingling, “What did the second mother tell you?”
Qin Lingling smiled and said, “It’s nothing, just talk about some trivial things.” After that, she approached some Gu Zheng, and added, “Second mom said, let me honor our dad well.”
Gu Zheng smiled directly after listening, “Yeah.”
It took two days for Uncle Li’s sculpture shop to be sorted out, because the shop was reserved for Uncle Li, so he didn’t do other business, so he placed the things he needed to sculpt for sale. Those who didn’t want to sell, Li moved to a room in the backyard.
Several apprentices also live in the backyard. Usually, you can go directly to the front yard for work. Uncle Li’s wood and other things are moved in the house. A spacious house with two small rooms. Even if there are four apprentices, it’s enough. They play.
On the left and right sides of the front half of the house are shelves, which are filled with handicrafts carved by Uncle Li, and a little farther away is a counter.
Generally speaking, the shop is also very antique and very nice.
Because the house was bought and I didn’t want to do any business to make money, Gu Zheng was a place to give his father handicrafts, and at the same time, he could occasionally sell some of the handicrafts she carved.
Uncle Li felt that he was at a loss when he heard that he was only doing such a business, but Qin Lingling always comforted him and said that it was okay, “Let’s buy this shop and this place belongs to us, and now our family doesn’t lack that little money. You have hobbies and interests, and this is good for nurturing.”
Qin Lingling thought about the longer term than Uncle Li. Although Uncle Li is not a great master, his carving skills are not simple, and they have been honed for many years. The number of these craftsmen in later generations has gradually decreased. With the impact of the trend of the times, many people no longer understand these crafts, or even do not understand them. Of course, it is gradually difficult to see these crafts.
And Qin Lingling likes these craftsmen very much. Whether it is bamboo weaving or carving or jade carving and book carving, there are fewer and fewer people learning these crafts, and the culture cannot be better inherited.
Now since her father-in-law likes to sculpt and accepts apprentices, she hopes that it can be passed on. Whether it is an activity to pass the time for father-in-law, or it is worth passing on for more posterity to see.
Uncle Li laughed when he heard Qin Lingling say this, “Unexpectedly, you can think so deeply in your heart. There are fewer people who know this woodcarving craftsmanship. I have learned it from a master before, but also Those who are not good at learning will have to think more about nothing in these years.”
He was grateful to Qin Lingling, “Since you have a heart, then I will lead your love and develop this craft well.”
Uncle Li didn’t expect that his remarks had cultivated batches of good apprentices and passed on the craftsmanship.
After dealing with Uncle Li’s affairs, Uncle Li was busy in the shop during the day, and several apprentices assisted Uncle Li in his work.
The shop’s plaque reads: Diaodiao Pavilion.
It is said that rotten wood cannot be carved. Uncle Li directly took two of them, and everyone looked curious.
Occasionally, someone walks in, looks at the artworks on the shelves, and asks for the price, but most of them don’t buy them, that is, just take a look at them.
At the beginning, Uncle Li still wrote that he was anxious, and he always felt that he could not share the burden with the young people and earn more money.
But then Uncle Li received a letter from a distance, and the content of the letter made him suddenly realize.
When Gu Zheng arrived at the shop at noon, he saw that Uncle Li was not in the shop.
I asked the big apprentice and said that it was the room where Uncle Li usually sculpted with the door closed and did not come out.
“Master usually stays inside. We can just knock on the door and find him if we have anything to do.”
Gu Zheng nodded, let the big apprentice go busy, and then went to knock on Uncle Li’s door.
“dad?”
Hearing the sound, Uncle Li quickly put away the letter in his hand, sat on the chair, straightened up, “Come in!”
Gu Zheng opened the door and looked inside, “Dad.”
“Here.” Uncle Li smiled at him.
“Well, Lingling is at school at noon. I’m here to meet you for dinner. What do you want to eat, I’ll buy it?”
Uncle Li hurriedly waved his hand, “No, no, I just asked Xiaolin to buy some vegetables, and I will be ready to cook and eat here later.”
Uncle Li’s four apprentices are all young, but they are all poor children. They are good at cooking and doing food early. Uncle Li usually cooks here if he doesn’t go back. He pays and a few children can cook. Cooking, cleaning the house if you don’t know how to cook, can be considered as paying for the meal.
Gu Zheng nodded, “Okay.”
After speaking, Gu Zheng raised his head to look at Uncle Li, keenly aware that Uncle Li’s expression is different from usual.
He asked, “Dad, what’s the matter?”
Uncle Li knew when he heard that he was aware of his look, and smiled: “It seems that there is something I can’t hide from you!”
“What’s up?”
“It’s nothing.” Uncle Li said, taking out a letter from the drawer and handing it to Gu Zheng, “Look at it.”
Gu Zheng took it suspiciously, and carefully unfolded the letter.
Uncle Li on the opposite side said: “This is a letter from an old friend in the capital. It has been two months ago and it was forwarded to me by the party secretary.”
The party secretary in Uncle Li’s mouth was the party secretary who helped him live in the village before, the one he had helped.
Knowing that Uncle Li was in Qinjia Village, he sent the letter to Qinjia Village. It happened that the secretary of the commune came to the provincial capital and asked someone to deliver it to him. It also arrived today.
When Gu Zheng opened the letter, the content on it was actually about the house and other things that Uncle Li was sealed off in his early years.
Seeing Gu Zheng watching, Uncle Li also explained, “Before I had an accident in my early years, the teachers at the university, although the conditions in our family were average, there were still two good courtyard houses left by my grandparents. One belonged to my third uncle. You I’m called Sanshugong, and one family is left to me by your grandfather. In addition, your mother and I have also bought a house, a total of three houses.”
“Your third uncle was not married in his early years. When he passed away, he was alone, so the house he was holding passed mine. After that, when things happened, our house was handed over, and the house that he bought is now assigned to others. If you don’t come back, it will be in dilapidated condition for so many years, but the other two houses can be returned now, and there are some old things. They will not be too valuable, but they will not be worthless. .”
Gu Zheng happened to read the letter. It was a letter written to him by an old friend of Uncle Li. The other party hopes that he can read the letter and know these things. If he sees it, I hope he can go back and do these things. NS.
At the end of the letter, it was this old friend who strongly hoped that he could go back.
It can be seen from the letter that the other party is still very concerned about his father. After so many years, he has been running around for his father’s affairs. Now he has finally made a mark and only hopes that the old father will return.
After reading it, Gu Zheng handed the letter back to Uncle Li. Uncle Li looked up at him and asked with a smile, “Did you finish?”
“Um.”
“What do you think?” Uncle Li asked.
Gu Zheng smiled and asked, “I should ask you this, right?”
Although it is said that the house is definitely not as good as it was in the past, it may be worn out and in disrepair over the years, some places have been destroyed, or even damage caused by various reasons. But you know, this is the capital, and it’s a spacious courtyard, even if it is not worth any money, this place is always not easy.
“Before the change, I probably don’t want it. Whoever picks it up will just take it, or just leave it to the state. But it’s different now.”
He still has a son now.
Even if the house is dilapidated and worthless, there are still a lot of his old things. Although they are better damaged, some still remain.
Uncle Li himself had never thought about going back to that place himself. For him, his life has ended since the family was broken, but now his son comes back, married a daughter-in-law, and will have grandchildren in the future. There are many, many family members, and he no longer lives for himself.
“Meaning you want this house.”
“That must be.” Uncle Li smiled: “You spent so much money on buying this house. Our houses are in good locations. The above said there are compensations. Don’t do it for nothing, otherwise you Dad has been in a mess over the past few years, isn’t it a loss?”
Seeing that Uncle Li accepted all this easily, Gu Zheng felt much more relaxed.
But as his dad said, even a house in the provincial capital of Guangdong province costs a lot of money, not to mention the big house like a courtyard house in the capital.
Uncle Li said: “A courtyard like ours, even if it is sold, it can only be bought for tens of thousands, right?”
Gu Zheng wouldn’t estimate the price, but he nodded and replied, “Well, it’s true.”
“Okay, then I will return the letter to someone, and when I can find time to go back, I will finish this matter.”
Gu Zheng continued to nod, “Okay. At the end of the year, we have time. Let’s go back together. Lingling often says that she has never seen snow in the north, so she said she should go to the north again.”
Hearing the snow, Uncle Li hurriedly said, “Then you can go back with me. It is okay to see the snow. In the capital, it will snow several times a year. Most of the people in the south have never seen snow. , Haven’t you seen it?”
Gu Zheng shook his head.
In his memory, he had never experienced snow before, but he had seen snow on TV.
“Well, then you happened to go north with Lingling, looking for a chance to watch the snow, climb the Great Wall, and see the Forbidden City. It was very shocking.”
When the father and son talked about these things, Uncle Li couldn’t finish talking.
When Qin Lingling went back in the evening, Gu Zheng told her daughter-in-law about this. Qin Lingling jumped up from the bed, “Really?”
Gu Zheng nodded, “Can I lie to you?”
“No, you really have a courtyard house? Or two?”
Gu Zheng nodded, “Listen to what our dad said. If you don’t believe me, go next door and ask dad!”
She had rested at this point, so Qin Lingling dared to ask, but knowing such a thing really frightened her.
“You said Dad really has two sets of courtyards.”
“Well. That’s what the letter says, Dad won’t make us happy.”
“Two sets of courtyards…” Qin Lingling exclaimed, a little unbelievable that all of this was true.
You know, a quadrangle courtyard in later generations will be just one or two billion, one or two billion. That’s a huge amount she has only seen on TV in her life. Even if she is now able to make money, listen. At this price, I was almost scared to death.
Moreover, Uncle Li has not one set, but two sets, and the location is still within a few rings. That is simply a sky-high price!
Seeing Qin Lingling’s excitement, Gu Zheng said instead, “Don’t be so happy. Those houses have been dilapidated for so many years, and at best the walls and floor tiles can be better. It is estimated that it will cost a lot of money to repair it. Besides, let’s I live here now, and I can’t go back to live. Those houses are not very useful for us, but Dad also said that they are our own things after all. Since they are back, they still hold them. Well, even if you can’t live, you can sell it for some money. He watched TV every day recently and heard that it is possible to sell such a courtyard house for tens of thousands.”
This year, 10,000 yuan households are the envy of everyone, selling a house for tens of thousands of yuan, for anyone, thinks a lot.
Even if Gu Zheng “lived” for many years after his death, the house could sell for tens of thousands, which is still expensive.
But when Qin Lingling heard that she was going to sell, she quickly said with excitement: “You can’t sell, you can’t sell, where can this house be sold?”
“Why can’t it be sold?” Gu Zheng puzzled, “A house can sell for tens of thousands, which is quite high, but it may not be possible for anyone to buy it.”
Qin Lingling waved her hand quickly, “Can’t sell, can’t sell, this house is so good, what do you do after selling it? We don’t need money now, we have to keep this house. If the price of this house rises in the future, what should we do if we sell it at a loss? Huh? The situation is changing day by day, and the policy is also changing. Look at the Shenzhen market, people have begun to build big houses in many places, and we have to keep such a big house.”
Qin Lingling got more and more excited as she talked about it. Anyway, she just had the idea that the house can’t be sold, even if she is poor, she can’t sell it.
In her heart, this is a priceless treasure. In the future, a house in the imperial capital, even a square meter, will be a place that ordinary people would not dare to think about in their lives, not to mention that they occupy such a good position in such a good location. No one who can think will sell such a good house casually.
“Okay, if you say keep it, keep it, and tell Dad tomorrow, don’t want to sell the house. Don’t worry, I just said it casually. After all, it’s the hometown and ancestral home that Dad said. Say you sell it and sell it?”
“Well, it just can’t be sold anyway. We don’t need that little money. As long as Dad keeps the house well, it is the best thing for me.”
“Okay, I’ll tell Dad tomorrow, go to sleep.”
