I found an authentic soup dumpling restaurant on the roadside and walked in.

Although there are more abundant seasonings and cooking tools, the taste of soup dumplings is always less satisfactory than in the long past. Obviously, the prosperity of the city has also brought negative things. The food suppliers who work hard to feed the city have chosen more modern methods to obtain a large amount of food materials, which not only brings huge profits, but also avoids falling into the trap of nothing. The dilemma of selling goods.

Even though the inheritance and craftsmanship of the past are still there, the things of the past have become the past.

"Not bad." After You Hongyin finished eating, he commented: "At least, the craftsmanship is good."

There are not many people in the soup dumpling restaurant, but there are many customers rushing to take away. The neighborhood here is very prosperous, and it is normal for there to be many office workers. However, these people do not have time to stop and enjoy a meal, so they can only take away in a hurry. Eating while walking is just a breakfast.

"Looking at these scenes, I really feel a little regretful." You Hongyin said: "Nowadays, they are in a hurry and work hard for too many things. Food is the most easily available thing, but after waiting for a while, all the past efforts will be gone. For nothing, they have to work hard to get what was once within their reach.”

"Are you done sighing?" Even a gentleman like Gu Jiu Jing would find it difficult to drink such poisonous chicken soup: "In the future, you will also be one of them."

You Hongyin stroked his chest and said sadly, "Don't remind me of this tragic fact." He paused, sighed, and said, "No matter what else, I want to go home first."

The home that You Hongyin mentioned was naturally not the apartment, but the old house. Gu Jiujing's grandparents are still alive, and her parents also live in the old house. Gu Jiujing originally lived with his family, but they moved out because of forced marriage.

In fact, the city is developing so rapidly. Due to expansion and reconstruction, there are not many old houses in the entire city. It's just that the Gu family's house was passed down from ancestors and has a long history. Grandpa Gu, who was too hard-boned, never gave up on this family home even in the most difficult moments. When Father Gu and Mother Gu were young, most of their income was spent on renovating the old house. How can I put it, for the Gu family, this is not An ordinary house. Maybe most people nowadays can't understand the meaning of the word "ancestral home", but You Hongyin can understand what kind of feeling it is.

"I completely missed my family in my first life. In my second life, although I warned my family early and made a lot of preparations, I never expected that it would end up like that." Gu Jiujing said: "I won't go into details now. I want to tell you about my two life experiences, because I want to know, Mr. You, what choices you would make in the same situation, and I want to know what I did wrong. "

You Hongyin nodded indifferently. Although he had the memory of Gu Jiujing, to be honest, Gu Jiujing's experience could only be regarded as a lesson of failure. There was nothing worth learning from. In the end, everything had to be handled by himself: "Okay. . In fact, Jiu Jing, the nature of this world has never changed, it is just that it is now covered with a layer of peace."

The Gu family's old house is a very classic Soviet-style garden. The area is considered small in a forest garden, but in today's bustling city, it is already quite large.

"Hey, why did Xiaojiu come back today? Don't you go to work?" Grandma Gu happened to be watering the flowers in the garden. Seeing that it was not a day off, her grandson ran back. Her first reaction was: "Did something happen?"

You Hongyin looked at the old woman in front of him. Although she was very old, she was still energetic. She and her husband were both university professors, but Mr. Gu taught Chinese studies and she taught music.

"It's okay, grandma, I just came back to take a look." You Hongyin said, "I've been thinking about grandma's cooking lately, so I couldn't help but come back."

Although Grandma Gu still felt there was something wrong, she was a smart person, and her grandson praised her cooking skills, so she was not happy enough: "Okay, okay, grandma will make lunch."

"You," Gu Jiujing said, "my grandma's cooking skills and my grandpa's whole life have never gotten used to it."

"... I just found a reason. I thought all the grandmas in this world have special skills."

"My family is an exception." Gu Jiujing said, "Don't you plan to tell your family about this?"

"Don't tell me, this kind of thing is too fantasy. It's not good to scare the old man. I just need to be prepared." You Hongyin picked up the showerhead that Grandma Gu had just put down and continued her unfinished work.

"Then what are you doing back?" Gu Jiujing wondered.

"Although the Gu family's garden is old, it is not as solid as a new building at all, and the surrounding crowd is relatively dense. It is not suitable for hiding places, but it also has a value that cannot be replaced by other buildings. It is in the hearts of everyone in the Gu family , all represent family." You Hongyin paused and said, "I can see that. Excuse me, although your luxuriously decorated apartment is in an excellent location, convenient and modern, it has a weak living atmosphere. In my opinion, everything else can be compensated for by other things, except for being alone. The pleasure brought by people cannot be replaced by anything else," You Hongyin said.

"so?"

"Let me see, let's do some renovations here without damaging the structure."

"My family won't agree."

"There will always be a way to do this." You Hongyin said: "There are many things, take it step by step slowly, don't rush. Are there any important personal items in the apartment?"

"No." Gu Jiujing said, "Just some clothes and accessories."

You Hongyin dialed the secretary's phone number directly: "Miss Li, do me a favor."

Ms. Li, who had never been assigned any tasks other than company affairs by her boss, found a real estate agent for You Hongyin and put the apartment on the market.

"Time is running out, and we are in urgent need of cash, so we can make some concessions on the price." Gu Jiujing expressed disbelief at You Hongyin's behavior of selling at the original price. Even if someone else wants to buy it, this is a normal process. At the end of the day, it will take less than three months. If the buyer has problems with the loan, it will be even slower.

"What are you worrying about? This apartment is in a good location. You don't have to worry about not having customers. Naturally, there will be an intermediary to consider this for you." You Hongyin said: "What's more, when the company's operating conditions are good, selling the apartment in hand will Real estate is a very attractive thing, and for me, safety is the most important priority of all things.”

"Safe?" Gu Jiujing was confused.

"Jiu Jing is your name, do you know what this word means?" You Hongyin asked.

"Taken from Confucianism, in summary it is the golden mean." Gu Jiujing said simply.

"Yes, it is conceivable that in the future environment, the rules will gradually collapse and the credibility of the law will be greatly weakened. It is a wise saying to shoot the first bird. The slightest clue may bring about catastrophe." You Hong Yin said: "So, before the real disaster strikes, the action must not be too big."

Gu Jiujing said: "You are too careful. What's more, even if I have some small achievements, who in this world will always pay attention to what others are doing."

"Xiaojiu, people who care about you and those who are jealous of you will always pay attention to your every move. How is it possible that no one pays attention to you." You Hongyin said.

Gu Jiujing was a little unhappy: "Don't call me Xiaojiu, as if you are my elder."

"This looks intimate." You Hongyin said, "Well, the next task is to exercise."

"I thought you wouldn't think of this problem." Gu Jiujing said: "My experience is that you can learn everything else later, you must learn to escape first." His tone was very serious: "Because, you can't If you get hurt a little bit, you will never recover.”

"I know." You Hongyin said, "Hey, don't underestimate me, my martial arts talent is very good."

"Those who are good at swimming will drown in the water." Gu Jiujing said: "Please be careful."

"Um."

Soon, as the flower watering work was completed, the conversation came to an end. You Hongyin walked through the lotus pond, rockery and corridor, and directly entered the main house: "It's very beautiful, and it's well preserved."

The old house has always retained a pure Chinese decoration style, with white walls and solid wood Chinese furniture. Although there are some more necessary home appliances, the home appliances are covered with some retro covers. From the overall effect, it does not Not obtrusive.

And compared with the clean garden photos in the pictures, the atmosphere of life here is very strong. There are vases with flowers on the table with nanmu inlaid with mother-of-pearl cloud legs and fine teeth. There are also several music scores scattered on the table, and matching backrests around it. The chairs are not arranged neatly. It must be that Grandma Gu didn't have time to clean them up when she was reading here. There was a red sandalwood incense table in the middle of the hall, but there was nothing enshrined there. Only a furnace of sandalwood was still burning. Faint green smoke curled up from the incense burner, and the scent of sandalwood blended into the entire air.

Gu Jiujing said: "If it hadn't been relatively recent, our forest garden would have been eligible to apply for cultural heritage."

And Grandpa Gu is back now.

After retirement, the old man will still go to school to take some classes, but not much time. The rest of the time, he also has some lectures and other activities. Generally speaking, he is much freer than in the past, so he also cultivates Some people have interests such as raising birds and practicing Tai Chi. I often take the birdcage out after breakfast early in the morning, and then go to a nearby park to practice Tai Chi and chat with a group of people of the same age. ◥思◥Rabbit◥online◥read◥read◥

You Hongyin asked secretly: "Then why doesn't grandma go?"

Gu Jiujing paused for a moment: "Grandma studied Western music and was very good at dancing when she was young. Firstly, she couldn't stand the music played by those square dancing ladies, and secondly, grandpa was reluctant to let her go."

"The old couple have a very good relationship," You Hongyin said.

Gu Jiujing sighed and said, "That's why I don't really want to get married if I can't meet the person I like. My grandparents don't urge me, but my mother urges me very hard."

"Your persistence is right. You see, it will be very inconvenient if there are more people in this situation who need protection." You Hongyin comforted casually, and then walked towards Grandpa Gu: "Grandpa, your oriole seems to be fat. "

"You brat, you make me unhappy when you come home." Grandpa Gu hung up the birdcage: "Why did my oriole offend you? Oh, no, today is not a rest day, why are you back? What happened? ?”

Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu are worthy of being a couple for almost fifty years, and this is their first reaction.

You Hongyin said: "It's okay, I just want to come back to discuss something with you."

Grandpa Gu put the birdcage down, teased it for a while, and then finally walked to the study: "Come with me."

Chapter 76: Forest Bones Wither (3)

In the study room, the bookshelf takes up the most space, and Grandpa Gu’s bookcase only occupies a small area under the window.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the business?" Grandpa Gu asked, sitting on his usual chair in front of his desk.

He thought about it and that was the only thing he could think of. His grandson had always been obedient and would not do anything out of line. Although he did not agree with his career choice, he was an open-minded and good parent who respected his child's choice and never thought that his child was rebellious and disobedient if he insisted on his career path.

Then he asked this question only because there was a problem with the business and he wanted his family to think of a solution.

"I feel that the business is no longer challenging, and I am tired of the long-term socializing and flying around, so I want to choose a new career." You Hongyin said.

Grandpa Gu asked: "Do you want to come back and inherit your grandfather's legacy? Grandpa agreed with both hands and feet."

You Hongyin was at a loss: "No, Grandpa, you know that studying classics, history, and collections is too boring and not suitable for my personality. I haven't decided yet. I just want to let you know today." He said a little embarrassedly: "I also plan to move back first."

Grandpa Gu said: "You are still young now, and you still have time to think about your choice carefully, but you must be cautious this time. You know, maybe you have no more choice.
