Chapter 393: Gift-giving

Chen Yulou walked out of the store, got into a Mercedes-Benz, and drove towards the courtyard of Song Lao, a suburban family in the city.

It didn't take long for him to stop the car outside Song Lao's courtyard gate, get out of the car with a sandalwood box, and walk inside.

At this time, in the courtyard, Song Lao, who was wearing a tunic and in good spirits, was loosening the soil for the cabbage planted in the courtyard with a pickaxe, and when he saw Chen Yulou coming, he smiled warmly and said:

"Xiao Chen, wait a minute, I'll loosen the soil for the cabbage, and then invite you to sit in the house!"

陈玉楼 says:

"Old man Song, I think that a person with status like you should stay in the city center and enjoy life, and live alone in the suburbs, don't you feel depressed and panicked!"

Song Lao said while loosening the soil with a pickaxe:

"When people are old, they like to be quiet, besides, I'm old, even if I want to enjoy it, I don't have the energy of you young people, isn't this a weak body recently, and I still eat ginseng!"

Chen Yulou smacked his lips and proposed:

"Old man Song, then you can find a nanny, live alone, and have to wash and cook by yourself, how troublesome!"

Song Lao said quietly: "Firewood, rice, oil and salt, this is called life, it's a pity that my wife passed away, otherwise I can talk to her from time to time, and it will be even more called life...... Xiao Chen, you are not married yet, you may not understand what I said!"

Chen Yulou said calmly: "Old man Song, I won't tell you anything, with the conditions of my family, I decided to play for a few years first, and then get married...... Besides, I'm obsessed with Xizi!"

Song Lao smiled and said:

"The ancients have said, self-cultivation Qi family to govern the country and level the world, now the society is stable, ordinary people only need to cultivate themselves and live their own lives, as for governing the country, Xiao Chen, your Chen family has been in business for generations, and they are not in politics, so there is no need to consider this, I advise you to cultivate more self-cultivation, and those who generally study Chinese medicine are people with both ability and political integrity...... I have a copy of the Tao Te Ching in my room, and I'll show it to you when the time comes!"

Generally, children of wealthy families are born with everything, and most people are more inclined to enjoy life than to have lofty ambitions.

Chen Yulou is such a person, he thinks that Tongrentang has done enough, he only needs to keep this family business, and he has not considered making any great achievements for his family.

For the Tao Te Ching, he naturally disdained to read it, and said calmly:

"Old Man Song, I won't tell you anything, I really can't read a book as profound as the Tao Te Ching!"

Song Lao didn't speak again, and after he worked for a while, he took the pickaxe out of the vegetable patch, put it aside, took Chen Yulou into the house, and sat down next to a set of Huanghuali tables and chairs.

Chen Yulou glanced at this set of old-looking Huanghuali tables and chairs, and exclaimed:

"Old Man Song, your set of tables and chairs is a good thing for the old age!"

Song Lao smiled knowingly, "It's just something from the Ming and Qing dynasties, I exchanged a painting with an old friend...... I don't have any other hobbies, I like to collect some old things, and last time I fell in love with a jar made of a big stone, and I always thought about what to exchange for!"

Chen Yulou said: "I have some bottles and cans that used to contain medicinal materials at home, if Old Man Song likes it, I will send it to you another day!"

Song Lao's eyes lit up suddenly, but he excused himself, "No merit is not accepted, how embarrassing is this!"

"Since Old Man Song doesn't want to accept those bottles and cans from my family, I'll give you something else, look at this wild ginseng, it's big enough, this is an authentic Changbai Mountain century-old wild ginseng that I treasure!"

Chen Yulou opened the sandalwood box he brought over and put it on the table in front of Song Lao.

Song Lao looked at the red cloth in the sandalwood box, which was twenty centimeters long, and said with a happy face:

"Xiao Chen, didn't I just buy a wild ginseng from you before, why did you send me another one!"

Chen Yulou said with a smile: "I won't tell you, the wild ginseng last time, not this one, you are weak, I am not willing to sell you the best wild ginseng, I have been reluctant to go, no, I specially sent this wild ginseng to you!"

Song Lao's face was calm, and he said indifferently: "Xiao Chen, I know that every pharmacy should have some treasures of the town, you didn't sell me the best ginseng, I won't mind, you quickly take back this wild ginseng!"

Chen Yulou covered the lid of the sandalwood box, pushed it in front of Song Lao, looked embarrassed, and said:

"Old Man Song, I shouldn't have troubled you about this matter, but Xizi was robbed of love by someone else, and I kept tossing and turning, and I couldn't sleep and eat, I really couldn't let go...... The kid who was fighting with me in Liyuan for Xizi at the beginning could make Wei Xian in the gray area call grandpa, I know that you have always been jealous and hateful, and I want you to use your relationship to check him, eradicate their evil force, and return the society to a bright future!"

Song Lao's eyes were deep, and he said in a deep voice: "I am also afraid that some evil forces are too large and affect social stability, after I came out of the pear orchard, I called an old subordinate and asked him to check the bottom of this kid, and found that he is a farmer entrepreneur who leads the village to get rid of poverty and become rich, a good person, for this kind of person, what can I do!"

Chen Yulou had an expression of disbelief on his face and said, "This is impossible, if that kid is not involved with Wei Xian in the gray area of the city, how can he be willing to call grandpa...... I feel that the two of them must be the same dog, as for the identity of the farmer entrepreneur, I think it must be a fake identity deliberately made up by this kid in order to clear his name!"

Song Lao said with a straight face: "No, my old subordinates found out that this kid has no interests with Wei Xian...... I think Wei Xian may have been intimidated by his force, don't forget, your bodyguard Zhou Yan is a Sect Master of Transformation Strength, isn't he defeated at the hands of others!"

"That's it...... Then Old Man Song will accept this wild ginseng, I still have something to do, so I will leave first!"

Chen Yulou's expression was gloomy, and he said a word and walked out of the door.

Song Lao took out a pocket watch from his pocket, got up from his seat, chased after Chen Yulou, and said: "If I accept a wild ginseng from you for nothing, I feel embarrassed, your father said that he has always liked my pocket watch, you can give this pocket watch to him on my behalf!"

"This pocket watch looks very valuable, it must have been with you for a long time, how can I be embarrassed to accept it!"

Chen Yulou flatly refused, turned around and was about to leave.

Song Lao stretched out his hand and put the pocket watch into Chen Yulou's pocket, and said with a straight face:

"If you don't take this pocket watch, then don't come to me from now on...... Besides, Xiao Chen, I gave this thing to your father, not to you, so you can just accept it calmly!"

Chen Yulou saw that Song Lao's eyes were firm, so he had no choice but to accept the pocket watch.

He walked out of the courtyard gate and saw a man with a swaggering appearance and a pair of small eyes getting off a Volkswagen, thinking that this was not the lustful son of Old Man Song, so he rolled his eyes and hurriedly greeted him.
