Chapter 60

As the old uncle led the two of them into the house, he shouted angrily to his wife in the kitchen: "Cui, please give me two more chopsticks, we have guests!"

"Okay, okay, I understand."

A long-haired woman in an apron poked her head out of the kitchen. When she saw Chu Fengping and Wang Yunshi, her first reaction was to be stunned, then she showed a friendly smile and nodded towards them: "This young man and little girl

He's so handsome, come on, sit down quickly, Lao Liu, go and pour two cups of tea, I'm too busy here!"

"I know, you still need to talk about such a trivial matter?"

Uncle Liu muttered as he brought out the fine Longjing tea that was stored at home, for fear that Chu Fengping and Wang Yunshi would be dissatisfied, "Boy, our home is not as good as a big city, and we don't have any delicacies from the mountains and seas. Don't dislike it!"

"How is that possible? If I'm not wrong, this tea is of the highest quality that you can't even buy in the market."

"Hey, the young man is quite discerning. Do you also like tea?"

"I like it. But I only know a little bit about it, not a professional."



After walking in for only a few minutes, Chu Fengping and Uncle Liu were already chatting as if they had known each other for many years. Wang Yunshi sat next to Chu Fengping, silently putting Longjing in her mouth, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart - this surname

Why is Chu so familiar?

If you want to have a meal, you just say you want to have a meal, and you pretend to be pitiful and say that the car broke down. I don’t know what is going on in my heart.

The two of them were chatting, and the topic somehow came to the history of this house.

Chu Fengping held the dragon well with a smile and asked casually: "Isn't the origin of Uncle Liu's house not simple?"

"Huh? Why did the young man say this?"

Looking at him with a face full of shock, Uncle Liu's eyes were full of relief and joy, as if he had met a rare confidant like Boya Ziqi, who was not at all displeased that his privacy was being peered into, but was even more excited.

"It's very simple. When I walked in just now, I took a rough look at the layout of my uncle's house. It is very particular and exquisite. Although it doesn't seem like much at first glance, when you taste it carefully, you will see that there are carefully arranged details everywhere."

"For example, the pot of flowers in the southeast direction and the big tree planted in front of the door echo each other with the nearby mountains and rivers. The layout is quite good. In one sentence, the Feng Shui is excellent!"

"If my uncle was just an ordinary person, it would be impossible for him to arrange the house so exquisitely..."

The conversation box was opened, and Chu Fengping kept chattering, eloquently, which made Uncle Liu's eyes light up even more, and Wang Yunshi's mood was complicated - why didn't she realize that Chu Fengping was still good at reading Feng Shui?

I went on a treasure hunt with Chu Fengping, and I got to see many of his unknown sides.

After hearing the end, Uncle Liu was so excited that he slapped his thigh and raised his voice a lot: "Oh, young man, you and I are really destined! To tell you the truth, my great-great-grandfather's grandfather once reached the third rank of the imperial government and was a native of the Qing Dynasty.

An upright official whom everyone praises! Not to mention City A, only a few nearby urban areas are under his jurisdiction."

Before he finished speaking, Uncle Liu's wife came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of delicious home-cooked food.

When she heard that Uncle Liu was bragging again, she immediately frowned: "Old Liu, you're almost done! If a good man doesn't mention his bravery in the past, the past has long since passed, and there's no point in bringing it up again!"

Indeed, the Liu family was once very prosperous, and this house was passed down from Uncle Liu’s grandfather’s grandfather.

However, in the next few hundred years, there were wars and coups. When everything calmed down, Liuli Village was no longer what it was back then.

"How can you say it's boring? We, the descendants, must not forget the illustrious achievements of our ancestors!"

Uncle Liu disagreed and waved his hand, obviously not listening to what his wife said.

The sister-in-law rolled her eyes, turned around and went back to work in the kitchen.

The few of them continued chatting, and Wang Yunshi also interjected a few words from time to time, but most of the time she just listened silently to Chu Fengping's search for topics - all she could think about was her own auction, so how could she find the time to participate in the two big events?

Communication between gentlemen?

I don’t know when this meal will be finished and when I can really start collecting antiques...

After about ten minutes, all kinds of side dishes were placed on the entire table.

While putting delicious food into their mouths, they chatted about their families and family affairs.

Chu Fengping took a big mouthful of rice and it was very delicious: "Uncle and sister-in-law, are you two the only ones in this family?"

"Hi, I have a son who went to work in the city. He usually lives in a rented house. He only comes back to the village to reunite with us for two days during the Chinese New Year." Speaking of this, Uncle Liu couldn't help but sigh, "Oh.

...I don’t know what that kid is doing now, or whether he has been bullied..."

My sister-in-law also looked grim. She smiled bitterly and echoed: "These days, everyone is a slave to others. If you don't have money, you will be bullied wherever you go. Not to mention that our son is from a rural area and has no one to rely on."

They also wanted to be like other parents, using their accumulated connections to remove stumbling blocks for their son's future, but things didn't work out. The uncle and sister-in-law had been farming in Liuli Village for most of their lives, and they didn't have any connections in the city!

Chu Fengping's heart moved.

Yes, although the principles of "equal treatment" and "non-discrimination" have been spread throughout the streets, there is still a long way to go before they are truly implemented.

"Uncles and sisters-in-law, don't be sad. As long as you have the strength, it will be a matter of time to get ahead!" Chu Fengping grinned and pointed at himself, "Well, look at me, I am also a rural child, but now

Not only does he have an endless monthly salary, but he also found such a beautiful girl as his girlfriend!"

Wang Yunshi also nodded in agreement: "Yes, as the saying goes, gold always shines!"

Their original intention was to comfort the uncle and sister-in-law, but who knew that after the words fell, the uncle and sister-in-law looked at each other, and their mood became even lower.

It turned out that Uncle Liu's son had broken up with his girlfriend whom he had been dating for several years not long ago and completely blew it.

The uncle and sister-in-law had already regarded the girl as their daughter-in-law. When they heard that the two had broken up, they immediately became anxious. After careful investigation, they found out that the girl disliked Uncle Liu's son because his family was poor and he had no car or house, so she went so far as to marry Uncle Liu directly.

An upstart who was old enough to be her father ran away.

After Chu Fengping heard the whole story, he was speechless.

Oh my God, Uncle Liu's son's experience is so similar to his. Even his girlfriend has the same moral character as Li Renyu.

"It is indeed difficult to deal with money matters." Chu Fengping asked thoughtfully, "Uncles and sisters-in-law, how about we sell something to make up the money first? After all, things are dead, but people are alive. Let's live our lives first.
