Chapter 165
Jingzhe, also known as "Qizhe", is the third solar term in the 24 solar terms.

The spring thunder begins to sound, the temperature rises, insects sprout, and "Nine Nine" is over.

"Nine peach blossoms bloom, and spring plowing cannot rest."

Shen Guanglin works every day, and never has half a day of leisure.

Li Rong's demeanor has obviously changed, even the way she walks is different from before, anyway, there is more of an inexplicable smell.

Anyway, there is a kind of rhythmic beauty.

There is an important operation today that requires the whole family to go to the train station to pick up people.

Because Li Rong's grandma and uncle in her hometown are coming to the capital!

This is something that has been planned for a long time.

It was Shen Guanglin who mobilized it, and Lao Li also agreed.

In fact, it is not easy for them to come here.

My uncle is married now and has two children. If he hadn't been dismissed and investigated, if he hadn't experienced social death, he probably wouldn't have come out of his hometown, let alone the old lady.

There is no way to leave that sad place now, because of the constraints of the family and the country, and the pressure of life.

The old lady's surname is Cui. In fact, she was originally from Lu Province. She was the daughter of a landlord.

You have to accept your fate.

Moving is a big project, and I don't know how many materials have to be discarded to make it happen.

This time I went to the train station to meet them, and dispatched two cars.

This is also the time for Shen Guanglin to show his strength and wealth.

Old Li has been very busy with his work these years. During the years when Li Rong's grandmother was still alive, the Cui mother and son were also accompanied by him, so his relationship with them has always been good.

Companionship is the longest confession of love.

The time that their sisters live together is really much longer than that of Lao Li's mother and son.

When the old lady is completely sent away, it is also necessary to honor her, and people should be grateful.

As the train pulled into the station, Zhang Peng's mother and son arrived.

Sure enough, there are many things. There are six large boxes for the checked luggage alone, and this does not include the luggage they carry.

Fortunately, I drove two cars, otherwise I really couldn't fit it.

Things loaded into the car, ready to go.

Shen Guanglin drove a car, Li Rong sat in the co-pilot, and Lao Li accompanied the old lady in the back seat.

Shen Guanglin's student, the bald old Zhang, was the other driver, and Aunt Song accompanied the uncle's family in another car.

Cars are really rare in this era, everyone took a few glances at this powerful family.

What kind of tyrannical family is this that can afford a car.

The car galloped all the way, heading towards Fuyuan Gate.

Since he intends to settle in the capital for a long time, the place is only big enough to accommodate as many people as possible.

Walking all the way, the old lady watched all the way.

"This is Peiping. Is the Forbidden City still there?" The old lady came here on a sleeper berth, and she wasn't too sleepy. Although she was old, she was still in good spirits.

"Of course it's still there. It's called the Palace Museum now."

Facing his father's second wife, Lao Li didn't know whether to call her mother or auntie.

It doesn't matter to the old lady, you can just call me aunt, anyway, she has remarried, and she is not strictly a member of Lao Li's family.

It's a pity that the old man of the second marriage has been dead for more than 20 years, which is already history. It has been 20 years since the two of them returned to Lao Li's house.

"When your father married me, he talked about how powerful he was every day, and even bombarded the Forbidden City. It seems that he didn't bombard him."

It's hard for Lao Li to answer these words. After all, the son doesn't talk about his father's faults, especially when he is facing his father's ex-wife.

Shen Guanglin was unwilling to be lonely in the driver's seat, and took the topic forcefully: "Grandma, why does the old man still have such a history? How could he bombard the Forbidden City?"

"He is a soldier of the Northwest King. He also played a part in Marshal Feng's expulsion of the little emperor. If he had bombarded the Forbidden City earlier, he might not have led troops to rob our house."

"why?"

"Because after they drove away the little emperor, they will have money. In those years, he made a lot of good things at home."

The old man is still alive, so it's better not to delve into this dark history.

General Feng’s bombardment of the Forbidden City had advantages and disadvantages. The emperor was indeed driven away, but 98.5% of the cultural relics in the Forbidden City were lost.

In later generations, the cultural relics collected by the Palace Museum accounted for only 1.5% of the original number.

Most of the rest are still scattered among the people, some have been destroyed by war, and some have been destroyed by the Four Olds.

During the chat, Fu Yuan's door arrived.

Li Rong and Lao Li's father and daughter helped the old lady out of the car. In fact, she didn't need to help. Although she is in her 70s and almost 80 this year, her body is very strong.

Moreover, the old lady didn't have her feet bound, which was especially rare.

Li Rong's own grandma was different. Her feet were bound and she couldn't do any heavy work.

The gate is very grand, if there is no vegetable garden in the yard, cars can drive directly in.

"The house is not bad. Is this your old Li's house? If so, I won't live in it. Just rent a place to live in. If the road dies, the road will be buried, and if the road dies, the pit will be buried."

The old lady still has grievances. She has lived in the ancestral house of Lao Li's family for nearly 50 years, and it was thrown out after it was about to be buried.

"It's not grandma, this is the house bought by Brother Guanglin himself." Li Rong saw Lao Li's embarrassment and took the initiative to rescue him.

"Xiao Shen is not bad, she is a good match. In this way, our mothers will not live in vain. I will bring the luggage over later, and some old items in it will be used for food expenses. This is originally hidden in your hometown by your old Li family. Yes, I keep them all the time, some things my wife doesn’t know about, and they can be counted as my severance pay, they are all good items, they were all used by the little emperor back then, they are precious.”

And such a thing?
No, do big families like yours have such a deep foundation?
Shen Guanglin didn't want to fight anymore, so he just lay down obediently.

Li Rong has good physical strength and is best at pulling carrots.

Arriving at the destination, the first thing to do when getting off the train is to prepare food. After all, it took two days on the train to eat well.

Li Rong, Aunt Song and Zhang Peng's wife had a joint lunch together.

Among them, Li Rong was the best cook, which they did not expect.

Li Rong's cooking skills are of course good, especially recently she often hangs around in the kitchen and learns from the master.

She is willing to learn, and the chef is also willing to teach. For a lady from an official family, there is no such thing as teaching apprentices to starve to death of the master, so her cooking skills have improved on the basis of hobbies.

This kind of good thing must be the cheapest, Shen Guanglin.

The women were cooking, and the men were carrying luggage. This was the first time Lao Li came to Shen Guanglin's house, so he was a little surprised.

The house is really nice and really big.

If you don't look at the basement, just look at the north and south rooms.

It's still comfortable to live in such a house, which is much better than his two-story house.

And there are fresh vegetables at home, no wonder they can always bring some off-season vegetables home.

When I came here, I found out that the glass house was used to make a vegetable greenhouse in the yard. It is very warm inside. It is a good idea to use a glass house to grow vegetables, but it is expensive.

No mention of money.

In the winter, the cucumbers are green and green. Taking a bite, this feeling of astringent tongue is really long gone.

The old lady was very amazed and satisfied with the layout, "It's better to be in the capital, it's amazing, and you can grow vegetables in winter."

In fact, all of this is due to the credit of Li Rong and Jiang Zhenhua, without their management, at least, this vegetable garden would not be able to run like this.

In the winter, you can still eat fresh scrambled eggs with beans, and the old lady ate an extra steamed bun.

Shen Guanglin has been in the north for a long time, and he is already a little used to eating steamed buns.

In the year in Beijing, he discovered the differences in language and culture between the north and the south, which is quite interesting.

In the north, someone asked, have you eaten today?
"Dining" here can refer to anything that can be eaten, including rice, steamed buns, steamed buns, sesame seed cakes, and fried dough sticks.

In the South, someone asks, have you eaten today?

"Dining" here simply refers to rice.

Moreover, the swearing words in the north and the south are also different.

In the south, "Zai Zai" is a pet name for children, while in the north, "Xiao Zai Zi" is a curse word.

In the dialects of many places in the south, there is no concept of exclusive quantifiers, and they are all pronounced "zha", such as a person, a chicken, a pig, a dog, and a horse.

In northern dialect, the distinction is very clear, a person, a chicken, a pig, a dog, and a horse.

After lunch, everyone has their own room, tidy up and settle down

Only then did we begin to take inventory of assets, which is the highlight.

What is the old thing that the old lady brought? Shen Guanglin was really curious after hearing all the way.

There are at least two wooden boxes filled with old objects, some very exquisite porcelain and daily necessities, authentic official kilns, and very valuable.

The old lady slowly told their history:
"I have kept these things in my home for many years. The gold, silver and jewelry have long been taken by Lao Li to start a revolution. The rest are some worthless porcelain gadgets, snuff bottles, jade ruyis and so on."

The history is very tortuous and very real, it seems to be happening right before our eyes.

"So these things have been hidden in the house?"

"Yes, originally there were more things. There was a phoenix crown full of beads. I got it from a pawn shop in the provincial capital and pawned it for 500 cash. The gold and silverware were taken away by Lao Li himself. He went south with the army. Joining the ranks of the revolution, those assets should be charged with military expenses.”
