Grandpa

The first heavy rain since the beginning of summer came without warning, and the black clouds suddenly pressed down. After the dull and rapid thunder, the torrential rain fell from the sky, hanging in the air like a silver curtain, on the roof, On the street, a layer of white mist was splashed.

It was evening when the train arrived at Beijing West Station, and Qin Yunshu, who was far away in the United States, had already prepared everything for them in advance.Shao Yun went to get off the high-speed train with Wei Xiuluo, and the driver's call arrived on the back foot.

The driver, surnamed Shen, was in his forties, an out-and-out native of the capital, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut.When he got in the car, he turned the steering wheel, and he talked like he knew him from the Ming Tombs, from the Ming Tombs to the Great Wall, from Wangfujing to Chang'an Street, from Capital University to the National Stadium...

His tone was full of pride, probably because he deeply loved the city where he was born.

Shao Yun went to embrace the dazed Wei Xiuluo, listened quietly to his chat, and occasionally nodded in response.

The heavy rain has finally stopped. After the rain, the air in the capital city is as fresh as cleansing. For the residents living in this city plagued by smog, this is probably a rare good day all year round except for holidays.

The moment the sun broke through the mist and illuminated the earth again, the car slowly stopped.

"Here we are." Old Shen turned his head and said, then loosened the seat belt in front of him, got out of the car and opened the door for Shao Yun and the two of them.

Shao Yun went to help Wei Xiuluo get out of the car, only to find that he was standing in a small alley, except for a few five or six courtyard houses on the left and right, they were all skyscrapers with a height of dozens of floors.

Old Shen closed the car door, trotted to the door of a courtyard in front of him, raised his hand and knocked on the door, shouting, "Old Xu, the two young masters are here."

"Hey!" The person called Lao Xu in the courtyard responded, and after a burst of hurried footsteps, the courtyard door opened, and a middle-aged woman came out.

After entering the door, Shao Yun went to know what kind of gift Wei Bozhi gave them.

This is a two-in, two-out quadrangle with a back garden, covering an area of ​​980 square meters, with a total of 21 houses, located on the North Fourth Ring Road of Beijing.Go out of the alley and walk two miles along the street to see Capital University.

According to the current housing prices, the courtyards in the second ring road of Beijing are basically around 20 yuan per square meter.When you get to the Fourth Ring Road, the price is almost halved, but because it is close to the Capital University, the Old Summer Palace and the Summer Palace, the housing price cannot be compared with the courtyard houses in other areas within the Fourth Ring Road.

Shao Yun went to estimate that the price of this courtyard house should be around 30 yuan per square meter, that is to say, the price of this courtyard alone is almost [-] million yuan.In addition, the courtyard has just been repaired not long ago, and the seats and furnishings in the room are almost all old objects from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. All in all, it will not be cheaper than the house price.

It's just that they don't know who Wei Bozhi went through to get this courtyard house.After all, on this land where a brick fell, eight out of ten were the second generation of officials. They didn't have any strength in their hands, and they really couldn't touch the threshold of the courtyard. Not enough.

The driver, Old Shen, and the middle-aged woman, Old Xu, belong to a family. Both of them have been in the army for several years. When the couple were in trouble, it was Wei Bozhi who rescued them. Later, they stayed by Qin Yunshu's side for several years. assistant.Probably also considering that the two of them were old, and that Shao Yun went to Beijing with Wei Xiuluo, Qin Yunshu simply arranged them to do some chores for them in the courtyard.

Shao Yun didn't have any objections, Qin Yunshu arranged everything, which happened to save him a lot of trouble.

The two settled down in the capital just like that.

"Xiu Luo, it's time to get up." Shao Yun hugged Wei Xiuluo and kissed the corner of his mouth.

Wei Xiuluo rubbed Shao Yunqu's neck, opened his sleepy eyes, took out the phone under the pillow and opened it, it was seven o'clock.

"Get up and go to work!" The sleepiness in Wei Xiuluo's eyes disappeared.

According to what was agreed before, Wei Xiuluo spent a day at home recuperating, and officially reported to Qin's the next day, starting from scratch.

He was a little excited, probably full of longing for the next two months.Shao Yunqian smiled helplessly, not wanting to cruelly break the fantasies of his little boyfriend.

Seeing Wei Xiuluo frantically putting on his tie in front of the mirror, he stepped forward to help, and said carefully: "Qin's is not far from here, it's only two stops by subway, I'm in your file bag Put a box of chewing gum, remember to take one if you get motion sickness. Society is not like school, colleagues in the company cannot all be easy to get along with, people's hearts are unpredictable, you have to be open-minded and handle interpersonal relationships carefully. The smell of the company cafeteria It may not be very good, if you are not used to eating, give me a call, I will deliver food to you, anyway, I am not too busy at home..."

After putting on the tie, when he looked up, Wei Xiuluo was staring at him blankly, the corner of his mouth curled up, his eyes flickered: "Got it."

As he spoke, he leaned over to Shao Yun and kissed him on the cheek, "Okay, I should go, my housekeeper, see you tonight."

With a smile in his eyes, Shao Yun said softly, "See you tonight."

Not long after sending Wei Xiuluo away, Taoist Changhe entrusted someone to send a congratulatory gift in the name of Shao Yun moving to a new home, but the person he entrusted was not an unknown person, but the older generation of calligraphers and painters. Mr. Feng Zhihe.Changhe Daochang is good at calligraphy and painting, and the two are considered close friends.

With him taking the lead, a group of monks in the magician community exchange group will naturally be moved by the wind, even if a large part of them don't even know what Shao Yun looks like, but you can't send everyone else, but you don't even have a little expression None, this is the same reason as doing nothing is too much.

When he first received Mr. He Fengzhi He, Shao Yunqu was very happy. After he got older, he also loved Fengya, and he also paid homage to Mr. He's calligraphy. It is indeed a masterpiece of everyone.After some conversation.The two chatted happily, and even made an appointment for Shao Yun to visit next time.

It's just that in the next few days, Mr. Lu and Mr. Shi appeared one after another, and Shao Yun gradually became overwhelmed.Moreover, he didn't know the person who gave the gift very much, but this person has already closed the door, so it is impossible to return all the gifts.

He also had no choice but to ask Lao Shen to help register the gifts sent over in a book, thinking that when he found an opportunity, he would return a similar gift one by one.

Old Shen responded with a serious face, and his attitude became more respectful.

When he came over, Qin Yunshu gave some advice, but she only said that Shao Yunqu was her son's partner, and didn't mention anything about the family situation.He thought that these people have all lived in Wei's house, and probably their family background is not very good.

Although he thought so, he did what he was supposed to do with all his heart and responsibility. In terms of attitude, he couldn't say that he was contemptuous of Shao Yun, but he must be half a point behind Wei Xiuluo. After all, Wei Xiuluo was his benefactor. son.

As a result, all of a sudden, a series of important figures came to visit Shao Yun with gifts, and the shock to Lao Shen was no less than a magnitude [-] earthquake.Fortunately, he came back to his senses very quickly, and while receiving the guests in an orderly manner, he pulled Shao Yun to the same position as Wei Xiuluo in his heart.

Shao Yun didn't have the time to worry about what Lao Shen was thinking, he was busy receiving guests.

"Master Tao," Shao Yun went to look at the long list of gifts in his hand, and then at Tao Fuli in front of him, with a puzzled look on his face, "Which senior did you entrust?"

Tao Fuli lowered his old face and smiled mischievously: "No master asked me to come and give gifts, but I heard that a young master with outstanding ability has just arrived in the capital, so I specially prepared some small gifts and came to visit."

Shao Yun went to put the red booklet in his hand back on the table, took a sip from his teacup.Obviously, he didn't believe Tao Fuli's words. After all, the small gift he said could roughly buy a three-bedroom apartment in the second ring road of the capital.

Tao Fuli looked around and smiled: "Speaking of which, I personally sold Master Shao's yard to Ms. Qin."

"Oh?" Shao Yun raised his head.

Tao Fuli sighed: "This courtyard was originally my family's ancestral property. It was taken away by the state during the great turmoil, and it was returned after the reform and opening up. It was just repaired 12 years ago. If it weren't for the failure of my family's children and grandchildren, I would not be left behind." To the point of selling the ancestral property of the seller."

Without waiting for Shao Yun to speak, he continued: "I will not hide this from my young master. I really have something to ask for this visit, and I have no other choice."

Shao Yun went to put down the tea bowl in his hand: "Let's listen."

This person has begged to come to the door, and Tao Fuli is upright, he should be quite upright, so it doesn't matter if you help him within your ability.

"Hey!" Knowing that Shao Yun had agreed to go, Tao Fuli's heart sank a little, and he said in a deep voice, "It's like this..."

The Tao family also has an orderly inheritance. It has been a scholarly family for hundreds of years. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were four Jinshi, thirteen Juren, and no fewer than a hundred scholars. A well-known squire.

It's a pity that during the Great Patriotic War, although the Tao family stood in the right position in time, they avoided being liquidated after the establishment of Huaguo, but it's a pity that they couldn't escape the great turmoil after all.

Back then, Tao Fuli was sent to the countryside with his parents to undergo labor reform. His parents had been pampered for decades. How could they endure such suffering? They died of illness in less than four years, leaving Tao Fuli a child under ten years old.

The older ones were already dead, and Tao Fuli did not want to embarrass a child, so he survived with such difficulty.

In the past few years, the situation has become more and more chaotic.One day, when Tao Fuli went up the mountain to cut pigweed, he picked up a middle-aged man with blood oozing from his whole body, with more air than air.

Tao Fuli didn't think much about it, and took the man back to his broken thatched hut, and took out his only savings to invite the barefoot doctor in the village. After half a month of tossing, he finally rescued the middle-aged man a life.

The middle-aged man who woke up ignored Tao Fuli's refusal, and wanted to repay his kindness no matter what.Tao Fuli had no choice but to follow the middle-aged man's request and take him to his parents' grave.

The middle-aged man looked around, kept counting with his fingers, walked back and forth several times around the nearby hills, and finally said: "The cemetery of your parents is really bad. It is a life of poverty. Now that you have saved my life, I will return you five generations of great wealth."

I saw the middle-aged man bring out a bowl of chicken blood, then cut the tip of his tongue and dripped a few drops of blood into the bowl, and then flicked the chicken blood in the bowl onto the grave, muttering words while flicking.

Tao Fuli didn't listen to Dazhen, because he passed out soon.

When he woke up, the middle-aged man had disappeared, and there was no trace of chicken blood being sprinkled on the grave.

Tao Fuli was apprehensive, seeing that he couldn't find a middle-aged man, he had no choice but to go home by himself.But two years later, the situation gradually stabilized, and the Tao family was rehabilitated. Out of the psychology of compensation, the higher-ups arranged Tao Fuli to work in the government department.In less than a year, Tao Fuli married the daughter of a wealthy local businessman, and since then Tao Fuli has been on the rise.
