A junk collection station floats in my mind

Chapter 174 The bottom of the well in the old house? 【First update】

"Come on, stop pretending!"

Chen Muyu waved his hand, "I don't need this elixir now, so just keep it if I give it to you, otherwise, if I really take it back, you may be depressed for several days!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up, "The day after tomorrow is the anniversary of my grandfather's death. I'm going back to Chenjiayan in the afternoon. Do you want to go back?"

Hearing this, Qin Hong froze.

He didn't speak for a long time, and the expression on his face looked a little complicated.

"I can't get away here either, so please burn incense to your grandfather for me!" After a long time, Qin Hong sighed.

Chen Muyu didn't say much. There was no grievance or grievance among the older generation. Chen Muyu, a junior, had no right to ask.

Perhaps, there is still some knot in Qin Hong's heart that has not been resolved.

Chen Muyu didn't force it either. After all, Qin Hong hadn't been to the anniversary of his grandfather's death in the past two years. Of course, he didn't know if he had been there in private!
"I'm leaving!"

Chen Muyu nodded in agreement, and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Qin Hong stopped Chen Muyu, then turned and went into the back room.

Chen Muyu stood in the yard, not knowing what Qin Hong was doing in the house, and he came out after a while.

Holding something in his pocket, the action seemed to be giving Chen Muyu lucky money, which made Chen Muyu a little bit expectant.

Jingling, what appeared in Qin Hong's hand was a bunch of keys.

Chen Muyu looked at Qin Hong in puzzlement.

Putting the key in Chen Muyu's hand, Qin Hong said, "There is a secret door in the well in the backyard of the old house. After you go back, if you are interested, you can go and see it. Don't let others know!"

"Ok?"

Chen Muyu was a little taken aback.

"Let's go now!"

Qin Hong didn't think too much about explaining, and urged Chen Muyu to leave.

……

When he went out, he looked at the keys in his hand. There were six common keys for small locks, and they looked quite new, probably because Qin Hong kept them well.

Is there a secret door under the well in the old house?

What is this operation?
What did Qin Hong hide?Or, is there anything left behind by the Chen family ancestors?
With doubts, Chen Muyu left Ganlin Village.

……

Chenjiayan Village.

This time, only Chen Muyu, his father, third uncle, and two aunts will come back this time, but they will only come back on the day of his grandfather's death.

According to the custom in the village, weeds cannot be cleaned for the first three years of a newly erected grave, and it can only be taken care of after the three-year period expires.

This year happens to be the end of the three-year period, so everyone has to come back to work.

The three of them first went to the elementary school in Longtan Township and gave them some books and materials.

This is a common practice. Grandpa often did this when he was around. Every time he collects scraps and receives some usable books, he will collect them, and every time he comes back, he will bring some to the school.

This tradition has continued until now.

But this time when he came back, Chen Muyu also heard the news that Longtan Township Primary School seemed to be closed next year.

The closure of the school is not a matter of funds, and the source of students is not easy to recruit.

Although Longtan Township has such a large population and a lot of school-age students, but because it is not far from the town and the transportation is convenient now, many of them go to the town to study, which makes the existence of the township primary school very embarrassing.

The teachers of the township primary school will be completely merged into the town next year, and the students will also go to the town to go to school.

Chen Muyu was somewhat emotional. When he was young, he also went to school in a rural elementary school. Over the years, although there have been changes, this small two-story building actually carries many childhood memories.

Originally, he planned to pay some money to renovate the township school as a whole, but now it seems that this is not necessary. When he has time in the future, he will go to the township school to have a look.

There is still a little distance between Chenjiayan and the township primary school. One is at the foot of the mountain and the other is on the mountain. In the past, it took more than an hour to walk on the mountain road. Now that there is a road, it is much more convenient, but it takes only ten minutes by car.

The place names in the township are very random. Zhangwan, Songgou, Nieshan, and Dupo are basically named according to geographical characteristics. The same is true for Chenjiayan. Just crowned such a name.

The Chen family's old house is a back-shaped building, covering an area of ​​two to three hundred square meters, with a large patio in the middle.

My ancestors could be regarded as a wealthy family in the village, but later they became dilapidated. Chen Muyu still remembers that when he was young, there were five families living in this courtyard.

The other four households are all grandpa's cousins, and it was quite lively at the time, but less than 20 years later, things have changed.

The older generation has passed away, the younger generation has left, the old house has long been deserted, and the grass in the courtyard has grown to a depth of almost one meter.

The four rooms in the main hall were left by my grandfather, and the ones beside them belonged to other families.

In the past few years, the house has been repaired several times. Although no one from the other houses came back, they simply repaired it for them during the repairs, at least to ensure that the house will not collapse.

In grandpa's generation, these cousins ​​could still be considered close, but after grandpa passed away, the feelings between the juniors were not so deep, especially in Chen Muyu's generation, which family has a younger brother, which family has A younger sister, more just heard.

Even the few friends who played well when they were young have not been in contact with each other for a long time.

Among the five households, apart from Chen Muyu's family, one household has rebuilt a new house in the village, one household has gone out to work and has not returned for several years, and the remaining two households have been extinct.

After Chen Muyu's family settled in Qingshan City, the old house was handed over to Chen Muyu's uncle Xu Xinggui to take care of it.

It is said to be taken care of, but in fact, I am afraid that I have never even entered the door.

The grandfather's family is also from Chen Jiayan, but they are just immigrants who moved in later. Chen Jianzhong can be regarded as a rabbit who ate the grass beside the nest.

Grandpa and grandma also passed away a long time ago, especially grandpa, Chen Muyu had never seen what he looked like, and only grandma's kind face was in his impression.

But it has been 12 years since my grandmother passed away.

My uncle has been living with his grandmother. After his grandmother passed away, Chen Muyu’s family helped him. He is now in his forties. A few years ago, under the introduction of Chen Muyu’s mother, he took a wife and gave birth to a son. It can be regarded as flattering.

Xu Xinggui has a problem, that is, he is lazy. A few years ago, his parents took him out to work in the scrap yard for a while, but he felt tired, so he came back within two months.

Chen Muyu's mother can't do anything about him, even though he is the youngest.

Dinner was eaten at my uncle's house. My aunt was a hardworking woman. She killed the chicken and stewed the meat, and the dinner was quite sumptuous.

When I came back in the afternoon, my father and my third uncle started to tidy up the old house, repairing and repairing what needed to be repaired, and my uncle also went to help for a while, earning some performance in front of my brother-in-law.

After dinner, my uncle mysteriously dragged Dad into the back room, saying that he had something to discuss.

Chen Muyu just shook his head in his heart, he knew very well what could happen to my uncle, it was nothing more than asking his father to borrow money.

These years, Chen Muyu has really seen too many of the same scenes.

　Thank you "Dandan Bandit" for another 500 coins reward, Guigu is very grateful, I kowtow to you, bang bang bang!mwah!
