One thought in love

Chapter 475 Even if it’s a disabled game, don’t worry about it if you don’t die 1
Some children don't know what big people live here, looking at the old house that is always closed, it is so old and dilapidated.

The bricks piled up to form the wall are missing corners and edges, and the paint on the red rich door has peeled off, revealing the rust inside.

The bronze lion decoration on the door is also faded and mottled.

The door knocker held by the lion's mouth smelled of rust, and the ring was spotted with yellow and red spots. If you hold the ring, your hands will immediately be stained with iron slag.

When the door knocker is lifted, the door knocker rubs against the lion's mouth, and there will be a muffled sound of "cracking, cracking" rust.

Although this house is big, it is really not very grand because it is too dilapidated.

The children in the neighborhood always call this house a haunted house.

In addition, the adults in their family vaguely heard who lived here, so they all told their children not to break into this house.

When the children asked why, the adults just made nonsense, saying that there were monsters eating people in it.

Coupled with the appearance of this house, the children became more and more convinced, and they all stayed away from this ancient house.

As for Mr. Xiao, he has a temperament that doesn't care about anything. He likes to let things take their course.

The house is old and old, and he doesn't repair it, just let it go as long as it looks like.

Someone once proposed to renovate this old house.

But the old man said that this house has its own pride, and it needs to preserve the history it has experienced, whether it is glory or decline, it must be preserved.

Remind yourself, and remind future generations.

This house has been insulted for so long back then, now, no one can tolerate it anymore.

No one understood the old man's opinion.

They didn't need to understand, so they just let the old man go.

However, for the interior of the house, some necessary repairs are unavoidable.

For example, if the walls are old and the bricks inside are exposed, they need to be repainted.

For example, after experiencing too much heavy rain, the roof leaks severely, and it needs to be repaired again.

But I have to say that the sewer system of this house is still well repaired.

When the whole city of B was filled with heavy rain and turned into a city of water, there was nothing wrong with this house, it was still refreshing, and the old man was allowed to walk around in the yard with his hands behind his back.

The old man lived in it, and he had completely become a hermit.

Except for some former cronies who returned here after reaching the retirement age and continued to follow him, as well as the sons of his subordinates, who simply worked here directly, there was no one else.

Whether it is an old friend, an old rival, or a junior who hopes to be supported by the old man, the old man will never contact him unless it is absolutely necessary.

Even the Xiao family's own children and grandchildren, the old man did not contact.

Just as Xiao Guanchang said, the old man knows all the big and small matters of the Xiao family, and there is nothing that can be hidden from him.

But the Xiao family didn't know anything about him, except for the news that the old man deliberately released to let people know that he was still alive.

I have to say that the old man's temper is very weird, and the older he gets, the weirder he gets.

Especially recently, I started reading martial arts novels again.

The old man especially likes to read Jin Yong's martial arts novels, and he yearns for those hidden masters, especially Feng Qingyang, who is the old man's favorite one.

So, without people noticing it, they gradually built themselves into this.

For this, the old man is very proud.

It rained again in City B yesterday. Fortunately, the rain was not too heavy, so it didn't cause a sea of ​​water on the ground.

Moreover, because of this rain, the wind and sand haze in the air were also blown away, so that city B, whose air quality has always been poor, had a rare fresh air.

On the new branches of the old tree, the green leaves grow full and thick.

On the green leaves, there are still raindrops falling, and the water drops preserved by the leaves, follow the fine grains on the leaves, and flow to the tips of the leaves.

The drops of water pushed the leaves down a bit, hanging on the tip of the leaf for a long time, dangling, and finally lost patience, and jumped off the tip of the leaf, piercing the air, with a very slight "pop" With a "click", it fell into a small puddle on the ground.

The water droplets slapping the puddles made a crisp sound, and a small flower was splashed on the shallow water surface, and then small ripples spread out in circles.

The air is filled with the fragrance of earth, flowers and plants, which makes people feel awake and relaxed all the time.

In the four-corner pavilion next to the old tree, there is a square stone table and four round stone benches fixed on the concrete floor of the pavilion.

But if you get closer and look carefully, you will find that this stone table is not actually a stone table, but a chessboard made of stone.

At this time, there was an old man who looked about 60 years old, and a 75-year-old old man were sitting and playing chess.

The hair of both of them was completely white, and they didn't dye it black again, which made the two of them appear to be about the same age from a distance, and they were both about the same age.

But if you take a closer look, you can see a little difference.

Next to the two of them stood a young man about 30 years old, with his hands in front of him, holding his right wrist with his left hand, watching the two of them play chess respectfully.

"General!" The old man took the opponent's chess piece, and the chess piece landed on the board with a very crisp sound.

The old man won a game of chess and laughed happily.

Opposite Zhang Shengli shook his head and smiled: "After so many years, I still can't beat you."

"You! Leave it to me, old man! Don't think I don't know!" The old man laughed haha, but he wasn't angry. Anyway, this thing is just for fun, to relieve boredom.

"Chuanbin, what's the matter with standing here for so long?" Mr. Xiao then turned his head to look at Zhang Chuanbin who had been standing for more than half an hour.

Zhang Shengli was originally a subordinate of the old man. Later, the old man retired, and Zhang Shengli continued to work. When he retired, old man Xiao let him live here.

Zhang Shengli's wife has been dead for more than ten years. It turned out that she was fine when she was working, at least she had a job as her sustenance.

But after retiring, life suddenly loses focus, and I don't have a wife to talk to in my empty home.

Zhang Shengli is also a very principled person. In that position, he will inevitably have a lot of temptations, and there will be many young and beautiful girls in his arms.

When he had a wife, Zhang Shengli didn't play this game, and was very loyal to his wife.

After his wife passed away, he has been living as a widower, neither looking for a second spring nor remarrying.

Because he is single, even at the age of more than 50, there are still little girls and beautiful young women who want to attack him, but he is still far away from these, has been single until now, and has never planned to remarry.

The old man also thought that it was boring for him to live alone. Before that, he liked Zhang Shengli's person and character, and he liked his self-love even more.

So, the old man asked Zhang Shengli to live with him and be his companion.

Because the old man's wife has passed away for a long time, he also lives here by himself.

The old man's meaning is very simple, he just wants Zhang Shengli to be his companion, and he also has someone to talk to.

However, Zhang Shengli was used to working under the old man, and still couldn't get rid of the relationship between the superior and the subordinate. He couldn't adjust his mentality to be equal to the old man, so he insisted on being a housekeeper for the old man, responsible for the old man's daily life.

And Zhang Chuanbin is Zhang Shengli's son, and his personality also follows Zhang Shengli's. He is too principled and doesn't like the officialdom.

Zhang Shengli's environment back then was not as complicated as it is now.

At least, Zhang Shengli is surrounded by Mr. Xiao. No matter what happens, Mr. Xiao will endorse him and let him do whatever he wants.

When it came to Zhang Chuanbin's generation, Zhang Chuanbin really didn't adapt to those routines there.

Because her temper is too stubborn, black and white are too clear, right is right, wrong is wrong, and in places that need to be flexible, and even need to be dyed black, she can't bear it.

I have been working for so long, and I have never been promoted. On the contrary, I am restricted in doing things everywhere.

Those original ambitions, those positive thoughts are all stifled here, and they are completely unable to use their hands and feet.
