Chapter 36 Birthday Celebrations

Seeing that Chen Mo nodded without hesitation, Chen Kangmei turned her head and said to Ma Jing: "Second sister-in-law, your family, according to the inheritance, also lives in your West Wing, Xiaozheng's room, and adds an extra guest room where I live now." Dad also told me that he wanted to keep this small courtyard intact as much as possible, so if you want, I will ask Xiao Mo to transfer his house in Anhui to Xiao Zheng. ”

Ma Jing asked with some surprise: "Xiao Mo's third room, transferred to Xiao Zheng's name?!" Of course I do, but you won't ask me to make up the difference, will you?! ”

Chen Yizhou sat there quietly, but Chen Jianjun was a little surprised. He pulled Ma Jing and wanted to say a few words, but heard Chen Mo say: "Second aunt, Xiao is my younger brother, what do I have to do with him?!" We're just swapping it like that, and I don't want you to make up the difference. In the future, if Xiao Zheng asks me for a room to live in, I won't give him a place to live, after all, we are brothers. ”

Ma Jing said with a smile: "Then it's decided, I also have an acquaintance in the housing management office, and we will bear the cost of the transfer." ”

Chen Kangmei nodded and continued: "Big brother, you gave up the inheritance of this small courtyard, but now you have a new family, and now you have a niece called Xiao Mo'er. Dad means that he wants to leave this side of the house to Xiao Mo, and he doesn't want to split the house. Then he will give you two more pieces of literary play, and he will give Xiao Mo'er as a dowry in the future. ”

Rong Jing didn't have any hope for the house in the capital, but now she felt happy when she heard that she could share a few more cultural toys, she had seen it, and there were a few cultural toys in it that were also worth a lot of money.

Chen Jianguo said: "I have no opinion on such a distribution, and it is better to concentrate the property rights of the house in the hands of one person." As for playing these things, I'm not interested in them, and I want whatever I want. ”

Chen Yizhou said: "I have also carefully counted, I now have more than 40 pieces of celebrity calligraphy and paintings, cultural toys, except for a few cultural toys with special significance to be dedicated to the country, the rest are left to you." There will be a slight difference in value, but it won't make anyone suffer too much. ”

Chen Kangmei nodded and said: "I have already told my father, I don't want the house here, after all, I am also a member of the Lin family now, Xiao Mo will leave me a room in the future, and I will come back occasionally to live, it's okay." So Xiao Mo should be assigned this part of the literary play, and give it to my aunt, okay?! ”

"I don't understand the literary game, and I am more relieved to have my aunt to keep it." Chen Mo wanted to smile with her, but he felt sour, and tears almost flowed. "It's just that we're separated, we're still a family, and this will always be our home."

Everyone was silent for a while, thinking of the old man's body, no one got up easily. For a long time, the old man has been the big tree in this family, but now, the big tree is about to fall, who can not be sad?!

It was Cao Zhongmou, an outsider, who said with a smile: "Old Chen is just taking precautions now, and solving the conflicts that have not sprouted at home as soon as possible, your heart is not as good as he can let go now!" That's not going to work! ”

Chen Yizhou's health was much better, and he said with a smile: "What Xiao Cao said is right, although my body is not very good now, I haven't seen Xiao Mo and their third generation grow up, so I am reluctant to leave like this." Although the family property has been distributed, I will not die tomorrow, and you should not be like children. ”

"This house is all left to Xiao Mo, I have a little selfishness, no matter how it is divided, I don't want to split the house handed down from my ancestors. So in the future, at this point, no matter who it is, can no longer fight the idea of this house. The person at the notary office will register all the valuable property in a while, and then distribute it, and the official face will have a government notarization. As for privately, Chaoying, you are still Xiao Mo's mother, so you will naturally take care of Xiao Mo, and I don't have to worry about it. In a while, you will also pick two pieces from this text, and I will also leave you a little thought as an old man. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement with the old man's words, and everyone's attention was focused on the celebrity calligraphy, paintings, and literary toys that were about to be distributed. Because Chen Yizhou donated some antiques with cultural relics at the beginning, some calligraphy, painting and cultural toys kept at home now, although some are valuable, but they do not involve cultural relics, and the value retention of these things is more optimistic than this house.

Forty-three pieces of various cultural toys, Chen Yizhou ordered Kang Xuedong and Luo Chaoying to give two each, the remaining thirty-nine, Chen Mo and their third generation of four people, one person three, exactly twelve, the remaining twenty-seven pieces were divided equally by Chen Jianguo and his brother and sister, nine pieces each.

Chen Yizhou understands the value of these calligraphy, paintings, and literary toys very well, and after evaluating them according to the market price, they are distributed fairly, and no one can find out the slightest injustice.

The three pieces of calligraphy and painting assigned by Chen Mo were given to his aunt Chen Kangmei before he got them, but he was not out of stock. For example, the inscription given to him by Grandpa Chu, the deputy state-level leader who originally lived in Hutongkou, and a few paintings of the ink treasures left by those celebrities when he visited old friends with Chen Yizhou, these are all his private property and still belong to him.

Most of the old man's manuscripts were left to Kang Xuedong, these academic things, apart from him, Chen Jianguo and several of them were not interested, anyway, the old man left them a lot of ink treasures, which are more valuable to them.

Although the family property has been distributed, the old man is still alive, and no one is dividing up those things now. It's just that under the notarization of the notary public, they were registered one by one, and they still remained with the old man.

The old man finally said: "In addition to these dead things, I still have more than 100,000 deposits in my hands, plus the more than 20,000 gifts I received today, and there are nearly 200,000. After I am a hundred years old, you will use this money to help me do my funeral, and if you have the rest, you will give it to Xiao Mo and a few of their juniors. Among them, Xiao Yiyi is not in good health, and she is no different from my granddaughter, so when the time comes, you will be in charge of resisting the United States, and giving Yiyi a little more points will be regarded as the last bit of heart for me, an old man. ”

Kang Xuedong hurriedly said: "Teacher, how can this be done?!" Liu Xia and I have okay income, and we can still afford to help treat them one by one. ”

"This is a little bit of my old man's heart, so don't think about it. The founding of the country and the founding of the army are all good for them, and they will not care about you for this little money. Xiao Mo, you are the eldest son and eldest grandson of our family, in the younger generation, you are the eldest brother, you must take care of your younger brothers and sisters in the future, and you must also be a good example for them, so that they can be proud of you. ”

"Grandpa, I will."

"That's it for today, I've been in this body for so long, and I really can't stand it. Xiao Cao, I won't send you and Chaoying anymore, Xiao Mo, you go and bring the gilded paperweight I gave to your mother and Mr. Shiraishi's shrimp picture to your mother. ”

Luo Chaoying hurriedly said: "Dad, these things are still left with you, since you gave them to me, I won't push them back, but now I can't accept them." ”

"Although these things are for you, you won't appreciate them, and I can be regarded as leaving them to Xiao Cao in your name. You have been a daughter-in-law to our family for nearly 20 years, and the founding of the country is not blessed, so I can't go on with you, but you are doing well now, and I am relieved to be old. So, I also want to thank Xiao Cao. ”

Seeing the old man's resolute attitude, Luo Chaoying no longer refused. Chen Mo entered the old man's study, took out these two things, and handed them directly to Cao Zhongmou. Unexpectedly, Luo Chaoying rolled his eyes dissatisfiedly at him.

Cao Zhongmou was very happy, and directly opened the lid of the box, pulled out the scroll and unfolded it. Chen Yizhou said: "This is a game made by Mr. Shiraishi in 46 years, although it is not a masterpiece in his work, but because of the large size, it is worth a lot of money now." However, at that time, I only spent two catties of flour to buy it, which was a big bargain. ”

Cao Zhongmou said with a smile: "I also know something about Mr. Shiraishi, at that time, due to the sharp depreciation of the fiat currency, it is said that the income from two hundred paintings could not buy ten bags of flour in the end, which was also a kind of sorrow for ten generations at that time!" ”

"Therefore, the country must be rich and strong, and our life will be better. At that time, our finances and banknotes were all controlled by foreigners, where could we have a good life?! ”

Seeing that Chen Yizhou was mentally exhausted, Cao Zhongmou stopped bothering and rolled up the scroll again. "It's too late today, I won't disturb Mr. Chen's rest, and in two days, I'll make a special trip to visit Mr. Chen with my son."

Chen Yizhou laughed. "Xiao Cao, although you are a businessman, you still maintain the spirit of a literati, which I particularly admire you. Although Xiao Mo is arrogant, he has always respected you. I only hope that you can give him more guidance on the road of life in the future, and he is still willing to listen to your opinions. ”

Cao Zhongmou said with a smile: "Old Chen is too worried, and if you don't say your old orders, even if there is no you, I am also Xiao Mo's stepfather, and it is my bounden duty to educate him." ”

Chen Yizhou nodded and said to everyone: "That's all for today, Kang Mei, you send me back to the room." Xiao Mo, you go and send off your mother and Uncle Cao. ”

It's still talking here, and it's already crying one by one. It turned out that Liu Xia wanted to take her home, but she was having fun with Xiao Mo'er, and she was reluctant to leave this young lady, so she cried aggrievedly. Everyone comforted her again, and Liu Xia agreed to leave her here and sleep with Xiao Mo'er, which made her burst into laughter.

Chen Mo sent his mother and Cao Zhongmou to the car, and Luo Chaoying suddenly remembered and said: "Wait, I bought you a few striped shirts and trousers, you are going to work, you should also prepare a few serious clothes, don't be T-shirts and jeans every day." Striped shirts make people look elegant and stable, and you will wear more formal clothes to work in the future, so that people will have a better impression of you. ”

Cao Zhongmou patted him on the shoulder and said, "Work hard, live well, take care of your grandfather, at present, these are the three things you need to do well." Communicate with your Uncle Kang, or your mother and me, and don't hold everything in your heart. You know, all of us care about you. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Cao, I will." (End of Volume 1)
