Chapter 167: Going to Ludao (13) Please vote for me!
After hanging up the phone, Chen Dayue looked at the skewers in his hand and then at Xia Bican beside him.
"Did this kid just show off to us?"
Chen Dayue asked a little uncertainly.
"Remove it."
Xia Bican took a hard bite of the meat skewers in his hand.
"that is!"
The two old men took a few more bites of skewers and suddenly looked at each other and laughed.
This guy Xu Qingshan really did not disappoint.
"Lao Xia, do you think this kid is growing up a little too fast?"
Chen Dayue suddenly said something dull.
Xia Bican glanced at him a few times.
"Hey, Director Chen is still not confident? What? Are you afraid that you can't teach him?"
Xia Bican's mentality is much better than that of Chen Dayue. He doesn't quite understand Chen Dayue's feeling of treating his students as his own sons.
"If it's a field I'm studying in depth, I'm sure I can teach him well."
Chen Dayue sighed.
"But Qingshan obviously won't just settle for the status quo, and I have a hunch that this child will go further than we imagined in the future."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
Xia Bican asked puzzledly.
"It's a good thing, but I guess the relationship between him and me as teacher and student will not last long."
As Chen Dayue spoke, he picked up the beer on the side and opened a bottle for himself.
"Hey, Lao Chen, you don't drink, don't you?"
"The atmosphere is here, why don't you drink some?"
"Then I'll accompany you."
Chen Dayue and Xia Bican had a drink. After drinking deeply, Chen Dayue breathed a sigh of relief.
"No matter what path he takes, he is still from Beijing University. He has an active mind, so Yuanpei College is more suitable."
"Then make your choice. Don't think too much about it. Be more open-minded. That boy's temper will not make him forget you."
Xia Bican comforted Lao Chen.
Two middle-aged and elderly men were drinking wine and eating barbecue at this small roadside stall. There was no trace of intellectual temperament.
Longjiang is more than 2,000 kilometers away.
Xu Qingshan was accompanying his grandmother and talking patiently.
"Grandma, the medical conditions on Ludao will be better. Come with me. Let's go to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for a checkup. I have friends there. Don't worry, you will spend the least amount of money."
The little old lady sat on the stool and remained silent.
Her hands, which were like the veins of a dead tree, had done countless things. When she was young, she cut pig grass, farmed land, and planted trees. Later, her grandfather passed away, and she took care of a loquat mountain by herself, chopping firewood for cooking, and in her old age. He also carried his luggage to take care of his little grandson.
Xu Qingshan was gently rubbing the calluses and lines on his grandma's hands.
"Grandma, you've been doing this all your life, can't you take a break?"
"But my mission has been completed. If you go to Ludao, I will be less likely to be gossiped about when I go home."
The little old lady couldn't resist her grandson, so she said angrily.
This is different from her usual venomous tongue.
Xu Qingshan knew from whom his brother-in-law inherited his temper.
"What gossip? Who dares to gossip?"
Xu Qingshan raised his eyebrows.
The little old lady is most afraid of several things in her life.
One is the fear of troublesome people, and the other is the fear of being cheated on others.
"You can raise a grandson with a perfect score of number one, can they do the same? Just because of this, even if I go to the capital to go to university, I will take you with me."
Xu Qingshan thought of ways to comfort the little old lady.
"If anyone dares to gossip, I will go back and turn over the table. If you don't want to play, everyone will stop playing."
The little old lady quickly patted Xu Qingshan.
"You stinky brother, you talk nonsense, you want to be kind to others."
"Okay, okay, grandma, you see my temper is like this, why don't you stay by my side and take care of me?"
Xu Qingshan knew his grandmother's weaknesses.
In fact, the third fear that old people have when they reach old age is that they are afraid that they will no longer be needed, but they dare not express it directly.
Sometimes, it is easier to convince the elderly with stubborn ideas by taking them to enjoy the blessings on the grounds of raising their own demands.
"Let's forget it."
The little old lady was a little moved, but after hesitating for a moment, she still shook her head.
"If you go to Ludao, you have to spend more money to rent a house. If I don't go, I can save some money and also save food expenses. Grandma has some money saved here. Take it and don't run out of food and clothing."
The little old lady wanted to go into the house to get money for Xu Qingshan.
But he was pulled back by Xu Qingshan.
"Grandma, the house has been arranged. It's not just me, Xincheng and I are together. My uncle will also come to see you often."
Xu Qingshan mentioned his uncle Lin Chenhua.
The little old lady stiffened, and Xu Qingshan quickly continued.
"My uncle has changed his ways now. He is doing serious business. He is now doing business in Ludao and making money. He has also wanted to see you for so many years."
Seeing the little old lady struggling, Xu Qingshan made another surprise.
"Grandma, you don't have to worry about us having no money." Xu Qingshan didn't believe that a smart-thinking person like grandma would not know that something was going on at home and that her parents were paying off debts. Otherwise, the little old lady wouldn't care about the money spent.
"My uncle and I have done very well in business on Ludao this year."
"Last time, my brother-in-law and I jointly contributed money to resolve the family matter, and my scholarships from Beijing University and other places totaled over one million. Not to mention renting, I could even buy a house in Ludao to live in."
Xu Qingshan pulled the old man to sit down.
"Grandma, you don't have to worry about money. This trip is mainly to take care of me and Xincheng, and also to meet my uncle. Doesn't my second uncle also work in Ludao now? See you all, our mother-in-law and grandson have lived here for so long I haven’t seen my family much for a long time.”
"If I go to the capital, won't there be fewer opportunities for us to meet? Grandma, please spend more time with me."
Xu Qingshan shook the old man's hand and begged.
Perhaps this stone-tempered little old lady is the only one in the world who would let Xu Qingshan treat her like this.
The little old lady looked at her grandson's hopeful eyes, and couldn't help but feel soft in her heart.
"Then I will accompany you to Ludao for another month. When you go to school, I will go home and plant loquats."
The little old lady thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
"Then let's pack things up in the next two days?"
Xu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief.
It's really hard to persuade the elderly.
To make grandma go willingly and accept the examination and treatment in a down-to-earth manner, it requires slow work.
But no matter how much patience these tasks require, Xu Qingshan has it.
He will not let the regrets of his past life continue again.
With grandma's strong body and her arrogant temper, she would have to live to at least ninety-nine.
The little old lady went back to the house to take stock of her things and see what she needed to bring.
Xu Qingshan went back to the room, put away his things, and called his uncle.
"Hey, how's it going?"
Lin Chenhua was as direct as ever.
He originally wanted to return to Longjiang from Ludao to see his mother, but he was stopped by Xu Qingshan.
"It makes sense, we will move there on July 6th."
After Xu Qingshan finished speaking, he heard the person on the other side let out a sigh of relief.
"I'll pick you up then."
"Okay, everything should be sorted out now, right?"
"Well, we have received the last set of demolition funds. After deducting the two million we paid back before, we now have more than 9.67 million in our books."
Lin Chenhua reported very clearly.
"I first rented a house of more than 140 square meters on Luhe Road in Kaiyuan District. It is relatively close to Zhongshan Hospital. If you go to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, there is also a direct BRT."
"I've already found the villa area you asked me to look for, and I'm waiting for you to come over and take a look."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, uncle."
Xu Qingshan nodded slightly.
He has his own plans.
The purpose of his rebirth was to let his family live a peaceful and happy life. Even if he still needs more funds to leverage his career development, it is inevitable for his family to live a good life.
He will not let his parents stay in Yunzhang County forever, and will also give his grandmother the best medical conditions as possible.
Xu Qingshan knows very well.
If you want your parents to completely change, you can't do it by just focusing on control. Changing the environment and changing the atmosphere is more important.
He doesn't have the ability to change the atmosphere of the entire Yunzhang yet, but he can still change the environment for his family.
After finalizing things.
Xu Qingshan accompanied his grandmother to pack her belongings.
"Grandma, you don't need to bring this mop and bucket. We can just go over and buy new ones when the time comes."
"Buy a new one, even a million bonus won't be enough to defeat you. You have to be more frugal. This is obviously good. I use it to mop the floor every day."
"Grandma, you don't need to bring tissues. It only costs a few dollars."
"A few dollars is money, you stinky brother, don't just spend it carelessly when you have two dollars in your pocket."
"Grandma, I can understand that you are saving money, but this mattress is really unnecessary. We are just going to live in Ludao, we don't really want to move."
"Huchi, Huchi, um, this one is a bit heavy, I won't take it with me anymore."
It was obviously to pack up the belongings.
Xu Qingshan packed up quickly, but he mainly brought the materials and books used for his academic research, and then brought the equipment.
Xu Qingshan didn't intend to touch the clothes here.
After all, he has basically been wearing school uniforms in the past few years of his studies. Even if he has a few regular clothes, they are all of a much outdated style, with black bottoms, messy patterns, and one or two non-mainstream clothes.
It was simply unsightly.
But he didn't throw it away, and regarded it as a kind of youth.
If we follow the path of the previous life, this house in the school district of Longjiang will be sold, but now that Xu Qingshan is here, the family is not short of that money, whether it is kept to increase the value, kept as a souvenir, or for convenience later Regardless of whether he has a place to live when he returns to Longjiang, Xu Qingshan will not let his parents sell it here.
While walking around with the little old lady, Xu Qingshan felt a little outrageous when he saw that the little old lady had just packed up the furniture that filled the entrance hall from a house that seemed to have very few things and was very clean.
Is this the magic power of the older generation?
You can collect anything, hoard it, and wait until you can sell it for money.
"Humph, bratty brother, you haven't experienced the great famine we had back then. Everyone ate tree bark, ate grass roots, and starved to death. How could you throw things away like this?"
The little old lady started to reminisce again, pulling Xu Qingshan to reminisce about the bitterness and sweetness.
Xu Qingshan quickly called Ye Xincheng and asked him to pack his things quickly. The wind was so tight!
