[Rebirth and Farming] To be motivated is not to be promoted

Most of Gu Dongyuan's part-time job during the summer vacation was handed over to the old lady, but there was still a lot left, and with the two people's previous savings, it was not a burden for them to go to the provincial capital.

It's just that they didn't expect that they had prepared all the travel expenses and accommodation expenses, but on Saturday Du Han and Li Qian took their car and driver directly to pick them up downstairs.

Originally, the family members were a little worried about their three and a half children going to a place as far away as Pucheng, but seeing that there was a pick-up and drop-off during the whole journey, and there was a young man in his 20s in the team, they were almost relieved down.

Relying on his friendship with Du Han, Shen Yunjin didn't feel ashamed to take his family's car to Pucheng, but he didn't want to cause trouble for the old man who really lived in Du's house.

Old man Du's name was Du Yuzhou, he was of high position and authority, and Shen Yunjin had never dealt with an official in his two lifetimes, but he had an intuition that the other party would not like a group of children suddenly living in his home very much.

But the car had just driven out of the yard, and before Shen Yunjin expressed his intention to stay in a hotel, Du Han turned his head excitedly in the front seat: "I heard from Brother Liu that the old man is going to the capital for a meeting, and the family only We are left, no one cares how we play!"

Brother Liu was the driver who drove them, and he was probably sent by Du Yuzhou to pick up his grandson.

Li Qian shook his head helplessly, and patted the back of his chair: "Grandpa Du saw this, and I must blame me for not teaching you well."

Duhan didn't care what he said, and turned around to make a face at him.

Hearing what Du Han said, Shen Yunjin felt embarrassed to bring up the matter of going out to live again.

Du Han spent two or three days at his house before, if he went to Pucheng with Gu Dongyuan, if he insisted on staying at Du's house, it would seem a little unreasonable.

Anyway, Mr. Du is not here, and he and Gu Dongyuan are not six or seven-year-old children. If they live there, they will be overwhelmed. Even if they stay there for one night, they should not cause any resentment.

Therefore, the problem of food and accommodation was quickly left behind by Shen Yunjin, and most of what was left in his heart was his anticipation for this trip.

Due to economic reasons, in his previous life, he had hardly been out of Qingxi, and he had no impression of Pucheng. At most, he changed trains at Pucheng Station during the winter and summer vacations of the three years of university, but he never thought of going out of the station. .

The current Pucheng is definitely not comparable to what it will be 20 years later, but as a provincial capital city, its level of prosperity must be incomparable to that of a small place like Qingxi.

Their county seat is not far from Pucheng, but it took four hours on the road.

It's just that Duhan was very excited along the way, and kept telling them about the delicious food and fun in Pucheng, so the people in their car didn't feel that the four hours were boring.

But when he was about to arrive in Pucheng, Duhan said that he was tired, and lay on the back of the chair, drowsy.

Li Qian sat behind him, heard that he was silent, stood up to take a look, then stretched out his hand and quietly lowered the back of his chair by more than half, so that he could lie down comfortably.

At first glance, there seemed to be nothing wrong with Li Qian's actions, but Shen Yunjin still smelled a trace of abnormality.

Although Li Qian was a bit older than them, he was only a young man in his early twenties after all.

How could a grown man be so careful, even paying attention to details such as whether Duhan slept comfortably or not.

But just as this thought came up, Shen Yunjin couldn't help but laugh a little.

Gu Dongyuan is making trouble for him now, and Li Qian must be more careful than ordinary people. Maybe in his eyes, Du Han, who is fourteen or fifteen years old, is just a kid.

Even though they went out after lunch, with such a long journey, by the time they really entered Pucheng, the sky had already darkened.

Although Pucheng at night does not have the colorful neon lights that followed, the milky white street lights have already been lit up. The roads are spacious and there are many buildings. Even Qingshui County 20 years later will at most be similar to Pucheng today. almost.

It was the first time for Gu Dongyuan to see such a bustling city, and he could not help but reveal a bit of childish curiosity and childishness, staring at the rapidly passing scenery outside the car window without blinking.

After watching for a while, he was probably afraid that he would block Shen Yunjin, so he naturally pulled him in front of him again.

Although this posture is intimate, there is a reason for it, not to mention that Shen Yunjin also wanted to see Jincheng's appearance, so he didn't struggle, and let him hug his shoulders tightly.

The car drove all the way and finally drove through a large iron gate before the sunset. Shen Yunjin knew that this must have entered the courtyard. Sure enough, within 2 minutes, their car stopped in front of a small courtyard inside. .

Brother Liu blew the flute, and soon someone opened the door inside, and the car drove slowly until the building at the northernmost end of the yard.

Just as soon as the whistle sounded, Du Han woke up. Seeing that he had arrived home, he regained his energy and turned around to say hello, "Get out of the car. Aunt Wang and Sister Xiaojun are probably the only ones left at home."

Aunt Wang and Sister Xiaojun should be the cook and nanny that Du Yuzhou hired.

Du Han's grandmother had passed away long ago, and his two aunts had also married off. Du Qingshan lived in Qingshui because of his job, and Du Yuzhou usually lived alone in Pucheng's family except for the nanny and cook.

The person who opened the door for them just now was a young girl, she should be the Miss Xiaojun that Duhan mentioned. As soon as the car stopped here, she closed the door and ran over, waiting outside the door.

Seeing Duhan open the car door, she leaned over with a smile and whispered, "Xiaohan, hurry up, grandpa has been waiting for a long time."

Hearing Xiaojun's words, Du Han froze with a bright smile.

His voice immediately lowered a lot: "Grandpa is at home? Didn't he say he was going to the capital for a meeting?"

Li Qian also opened the door of the back seat. After all, Xiaojun is a little girl, so she was a little shy when she saw the three people in the back seat.

"Grandpa said he wanted to meet your friend and leave early tomorrow morning."

After saying this, Xiaojun ran into the building door again.

Du Han's face collapsed, and he sighed angrily: "Brother Liu, your news is too inaccurate."

Li Qian got out of the car, rubbed his messy hair, and smiled softly: "What are you afraid of, Grandpa Du won't eat you."

Duhan also scratched his hair, still looking downcast: "I still think about going out to play in the middle of the night."

Complaints belonged to complainers, knowing that the matter of the old man at home could not be changed, Du Han also hurriedly poked his head over to Gu Dongyuan and Shen Yunjin who had just got off the car and said, "Actually, my grandfather is quite easy to get along with, you will know when you see him."

Shen Yunjin also heard what Xiaojun said just now, and knew that Du Yuzhou stayed here on purpose to meet him and Gu Dongyuan, and of course there was nothing to avoid, so he smiled and nodded to him: "Then let's go in."

Seeing that he and Gu Dongyuan didn't have any displeasure on their faces, Du Han recovered his mood and took the lead to walk into the building.

The small courtyard of the Du family doesn't look luxurious, and the decoration inside is also very simple, but it looks very comfortable.

There are three floors in this building, and the area of ​​each floor is not small. A group of people passed through a large living room before walking to the entrance of the restaurant on the side.

The meals have been served on the table in the same way, and Du Yuzhou has already sat in front of the table.

Seeing his appearance, Shen Yunjin realized that this man whom Du Han called the old man all day long was actually not very old, at most he was in his early fifties, and his hair was faintly gray under the light, but it was not much.He looks somewhat similar to Du Qingshan, but he can't see the unique frivolity on Du Qingshan's face, coupled with a few shallow wrinkles on his forehead, it makes Du Yuzhou look a little more calm.

While Shen Yunjin was thinking inwardly, Du Yuzhou was obviously also looking at them.

However, this kind of scrutiny only lasted for a short two seconds, and it was not annoying.

Soon, all four of them greeted Du Yuzhou.

Du Yuzhou nodded to Du Han and Li Qian, then turned his head to Gu Dongyuan, who was a head taller than Shen Yunjin: "You are the two classmates who have been taking care of Du Han, I heard he said that he often went to the house to trouble you, really Excuse me."

Gu Dongyuan seldom dealt with outsiders, Shen Yunjin saw that Du Yuzhou was asking him, and couldn't help but feel nervous, fearing that he would be rude in front of his elders.

But unexpectedly, Gu Dongyuan shook his head at Du Yuzhou graciously: "Grandpa Du, you're welcome, my aunt and grandma like him very much."

I didn't expect him to really worry too much. Sure enough, some people are talented no matter what they are.

Hearing Gu Dongyuan's answer, Du Yuzhou, who had only a distant smile on his face, suddenly felt a bit more embarrassed. He sighed, and lowered his voice a little: "I will definitely visit some other day, and thank you both personally."

The gloom in Du Yuzhou's tone came suddenly, but except for the carefree Du Han, everyone else guessed the reason pretty closely.

Grandma Du passed away early, and Du Han's mother, Shen Yuya, had already married far away. Originally, there was a scheming stepmother in the family. Du Yuzhou was too busy with work to take care of Du Han, so Du Han grew up I hardly felt the warmth of a so-called family.

And he likes staying in Shen's house so much now, presumably because Grandma Gu and Su Chunhua gave him the feeling of mother and grandma.

If it was said that Shen Yunjin was only unfamiliar with Du Yuzhou when he first came in, but now looking at this old man who seems to have aged ten years in an instant, he felt more sympathy in his heart.

He couldn't help but comfort him: "Grandpa Du really doesn't need to be so polite. With Du Han around, my mother and grandma are also much happier. We all like him very much."

"Really, Grandpa, you are still afraid that people will dislike me. Did you hear that, the whole family likes me!" Duhan didn't know whether he really didn't notice that the atmosphere was wrong, or he didn't want to show it on purpose.

Du Yuzhou glanced at him and smiled: "You must be tired after sitting in the car for so long, go wash your hands quickly, and come over to eat."

Because of the few words just now, the depression when we met also disappeared without a trace.

As soon as they sat down at the dinner table, Du Yuzhou said to Li Qian again: "Your grandpa is blaming you again, and he hasn't come home for so long to have a look."

Li Qian nodded meekly, and said, "Tomorrow, I will go shopping with them, and I will go home and stay for a few days."

Duhan suddenly raised his voice: "You want to stay? Then what should I do?"

Du Han spends most of his time at the Shen's house on weekends, and he usually doesn't bother to go back to the empty house. He mostly stays at Li Qian's place, so he can't help but protest when he hears Li Qian say that.

Du Yuzhou gave him a serious look, and said in a deep voice: "Li Qian has delayed a lot of things because of you. You can't pester him for everything. He is in his 20s, and he should have come back to work and marry a wife long ago. For you , your grandpa and I are too embarrassed to talk too much with Old Li."

After being criticized by the old man, Du Han's mood dropped immediately, and he stood aside without saying a word.

Li Qian patted his leg reassuringly, and then said to Du Yuzhou, "Grandpa Du, you know, I don't want to go to the place my grandfather arranged. It's better to say that you help me avoid the arrangement at home. I will have a careful discussion with grandpa about work, so you don't have to worry. "

Hearing their conversation, Shen Yunjin and Gu Dongyuan couldn't help but glance at each other.

It seems that Li Qian's identity is not just Du Han's master.
