Jianbao life

Chapter 175

Chu Chen shook his head, and stopped thinking about the grievances between the master and the others. It is useless to think about this matter too much. If there is a chance in the future, he will try to make the two reconcile.

"Achen, since the things are with Mr. Liu, don't bother to show me. Didn't you say before that your house can be renovated in a month? I'll appreciate it later. Also, then You can accept the tripod stove, this is also a little bit of my heart."

Chu Chen thought for a while, after all, he was his uncle, so he couldn't refuse too much, so he agreed, thinking, since uncle likes the things of Ge Kiln so much, he will take care of it in the future, if he can't meet him, Then go to the auction company to buy one for him.

Then, the two chatted for a while, and Ah Chao, who was driving, reminded them that they were about to reach their destination.

At this time, Chu Chen looked out the window and saw many people picking grapes there, but it was obvious that some of them should be tourists, which made him a little curious, and asked: "What's going on, uncle, Is there anything going on here?"

Zhao Qirui also looked out, and said with a smile: "Ah Chen, you don't even know about this, our Jibei is a large agricultural area, and it has always been known as the "hometown of watermelons". There is also a watermelon festival. In addition, Jibei is also famous for its mulberry and grapes, so this year the local mulberry festival and grape festival were held."

"The Mulberry Festival was held for the first time in June this year, and the Grape Festival started on August 18th and ended on the 22nd, but grapes can be picked until November, so from June to November , all belong to the picking period for tourists.”

Hearing this, Chu Chen couldn't help laughing and said, "Uncle, I didn't expect you to know this well."

Zhao Qirui said with a chuckle: "It wasn't because Xiaoyan was clamoring to come, it happened to be summer vacation, and the family came over to play together. Not to mention, this Grape Festival is really good, what kind of activities are there for guests and friends, summer dance party , Movie Gala, Chinese High-quality Grape Arena, etc., it’s really lively. It’s a pity that I didn’t think of it before, or I would have brought you here with me.”

Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "This Grape Festival can't be held only this year, can't we come together next year?"

Zhao Qirui said happily: "Okay, we will not only come to the Grape Festival next year, but also the Watermelon Festival and the Mulberry Festival. Oh, Xiaoyan is going to take the high school entrance examination next year, so it seems that she can't come to the Watermelon Festival. Hehe, if not She is busy with her studies, so she will definitely come with her today, because Yulan has to take care of your mother, otherwise she will come with her."

Hearing Zhao Qirui mention Chu Yulan, Chu Chen thought of a question that he had been concerned about for a long time, and asked, "Uncle, does Xiaolan have dependent personality disorder?"

Zhao Qirui nodded, and then asked a little strangely: "Achen, Xiaolan has this kind of disease, but how did you know? Although Yulan knew it, she didn't admit that she had this kind of disease from the bottom of her heart. She shouldn't have mentioned it to you."

"This, Xiaolan really didn't mention it to me. I saw this kind of case on the Internet before. I thought of it based on her description and my own feelings. I just don't know if it's right."

"Oh, Ah Chen, you are really amazing."

As he said that, Zhao Qirui sighed, and said: "Yu Lan is also a poor child, she was abused in the orphanage since she was a child, when my sister and brother-in-law went to adopt her, few parts of her body were intact, all of them It's a scar, and I feel very pitiful when I look at it. The root cause of her illness is because of what happened during this period of time."

"Fortunately, my sister discovered it early, and after treatment, her condition has improved a lot. At least she is not as extreme as other patients, and she also knows "kindness" and "return". In order to completely heal the injury, it is impossible to say that there is no possibility, but it is very difficult."

Speaking of this, Zhao Qirui looked at Chu Chen and said, "Achen, my sister's health is not very good, and my brother-in-law is so busy, so sometimes, Yulan can only trouble you to take care of her, okay?"

It is impossible for Chu Chen to object to this kind of thing, so Zhao Qirui went on to say: "A Chen, there is just one thing you have to pay attention to, that is, don't be too accommodating to her in normal times, some things can be done with her ability, let her She did it by herself, otherwise she would be more dependent and it would be detrimental to her condition."

When Chu Chen nodded to express his understanding, A Chao reminded them that the destination had already been reached.

After Chu Chen got out of the car, he looked around. The surrounding houses were in the typical northern rural style. Many of them were single courtyards on the first floor of red brick houses. Of course, some houses had tiles on the walls. , or mosaic, or coated with lime cement.

The family in front of Chu Chen and the others had tiles on the walls, and the quality of the tiles seemed to be good. From this, it can be seen that this family should be from a good family.

The owner of this family is a man in his 40s. He looks very gentle and wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He has received a call from Zhao Qirui before, so he waited at the door early. As soon as Chen and the others got out of the car, he walked up to the car with a smile.

Afterwards, the two sides introduced each other. This middle-aged man's surname is Meng. He is the one who sold Zhao Xueyi's multicolored figure jar before. He also introduced the place where the house was dug out this time.

After the introduction between the two parties, the middle-aged man said with some guilt: "You two can just call me Lao Meng. I'm really sorry for what happened last time, Lao Zhao. That thing was also passed down from my ancestors. I really don't know about it. The thing is an imitation."

Chu Chen and the others just smiled slightly after hearing the words, noncommittal, in the antique business, seeing is believing, even if you talk about hype, it is still fake, and who knows if your thing is really passed down from your ancestors, maybe you buried it The mines are also maybe.

Zhao Qirui waved his hand and said, "Old Meng, we are short on time, where is the place you mentioned, take us there now, okay?"

Lao Meng is also from the old Jianghu. Seeing Chu Chen's disapproving attitude, his mood didn't fluctuate much. He laughed and said: "The place is not far away, just walk for five or six minutes. Let's talk about the specific situation while walking. "

After hearing the words, the two agreed, and then followed Lao Meng to the west of the village.

"The place I went to this time was the home of a cousin of mine. His family used to be a landlord, but the older generation was more open-minded and funded several old revolutionaries. So during that time, even though their family suffered a lot Not much, but the fortune-telling was finally saved, and a lot of the previously confiscated property was returned later.”

"Actually, their family was originally well off, but recently my cousin's youngest son got into a catastrophe."

Speaking of this, he heaved a long sigh and said, "Some time ago, he got into a car accident while driving while drunk. He killed two old people and one young person on the spot, and left one disabled. What a crime! In this way, not only will he have to face a lawsuit, And I have to pay a lot of money. There is no way, the family can only sell the things left by the ancestors for money, actively compensate, and strive to reduce the sentence by a few years."

When it came to the end, Lao Meng sighed unceasingly, a good family was ruined by drunk driving in the end, the lesson is too profound!
Although Chu Chen and the others didn't know whether what Lao Meng said was true or not, this incident also sounded a wake-up call for car owners like them who had a lot of dinners. Never drive after drinking alcohol. Don't take any chances about this matter. Psychology, as the old saying goes, don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just in case!

Chu Chen and the others followed Lao Meng to a family. Although the house of this family was also a typical northern residence, the decoration was better than that of Lao Meng's house. It was indeed a well-off family as Lao Meng said before.

Lao Meng knocked on the door, and it took a long time for an old man with white hair to walk out, with a sad look on his face. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that something might have happened to his house.

The old man sized up Chu Chen and the others, and asked, "Baosheng, what's the matter this time?"

"Uncle, didn't I tell you yesterday that the boss came over today to see some good things in your house? Why did you forget?"

"Hey, look at my memory."

The old man patted himself on the head fiercely, and said with a somewhat excited expression: "I'm really sorry, my memory is not very good recently. Come here! Come in quickly!" After finishing speaking, he made a gesture of invitation, Welcoming them in.

The old man led everyone to the living room, and then Lao Meng introduced the two parties.

The old man called himself Lao Chen. Originally, after the introduction, he wanted to make a cup of tea for Chu Chen and the others. However, after everyone entered the door just now, they met several family members of Lao Chen. The atmosphere was a bit gloomy, which made Chu Chen and the others feel very uncomfortable.

So Zhao Qirui said: "Old Chen, we are still in a hurry, so there is no need to make tea. If it is convenient for you, please take us to see something."

"Okay! Ok!"

Lao Chen is in urgent need of money now, as long as he can buy his things, it can be said that he will respond to his requests. Hearing what Zhao Qirui said, he nodded and bowed quickly and led everyone to a small room that looked like a pile of sundries.

"Hehe, that's it. My father made it clear back then that if you don't encounter difficulties, you can't sell the things passed down from your ancestors, so things have always been kept here."

As he said that, Lao Chen took out the key and opened the door. Suddenly, there was a cloud of dust, which caused everyone to cough again and again, and it was too late for them all to retreat.

Seeing this, Old Chen hurriedly said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! We usually don't come to this place. We only clean it once before the New Year. I just forgot it in a hurry. Please forgive me!"
