Chapter 178: Drunk Driving
Chu Chen shook his head, he no longer thought about the grievances of the master, it was useless to think about this matter, if he had the opportunity in the future, he would try to make the two reconcile.
"Achen, since the things are on Liu Lao's side, don't bother to show me, didn't you say before that your house can be renovated in a month, and I will appreciate it then." Also, you can take the three-legged stove, which is also a little bit of my heart. β
Chu Chen thought about it, after all, it was his uncle, and it was not good to refuse too much, so he agreed, and said in his heart, since his uncle likes the things of the brother kiln so much, he will have a snack in this regard in the future, if he can't meet it, then go to the auction company to auction one for him.
Then, the two chatted for a while, and Ah Chao, who was driving, reminded the two that they were about to reach their destination.
At this time, Chu Chen looked out the window and saw many people picking grapes there, but it was obvious that some of them should be tourists, which made him a little curious, and asked, "What's going on, uncle, is there any activity here?" β
Zhao Qirui also looked out and said with a smile: "Achen, you don't even know about this, our Jibei is an agricultural region, and it has always had the reputation of "the hometown of watermelons", and you should have heard that Jibei has a watermelon festival every year." In addition, Jibei is also famous for its mulberries and grapes, so this year the local mulberry festival and grape festival were held. β
"The mulberry festival is held for the first time in June this year, and the grape festival starts on August 18 and ends on the 22nd, but grapes can be picked until November, so from June to November, it belongs to the picking period for tourists."
Hear here. Chu Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "Uncle, I didn't expect you to know a lot about this." β
Zhao Qirui laughed and said, "It's not that Xiaoyan was clamoring to come. It happened to be the summer vacation, and the family came over to play together. Not to mention. This grape festival is really good, there are some guest and friend social activities, summer song and dance party, movie party, Chinese high-quality grape competition, etc., it is really lively. It's a pity that I didn't expect it before, otherwise it would be nice to bring you along. β
Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "This grape festival can't just be this year, can't we just come together next year?" β
Zhao Qirui said happily: "Haode, we will not only come to the Grape Festival next year, but also the Watermelon Festival and the Mulberry Festival." Oh. Xiaoyan is going to take the high school entrance examination next year, and it seems that she can't come to the Watermelon Festival. Hehe, if she wasn't busy studying, she would definitely have to come with her today, Yulan has to take care of your mother, otherwise she will probably come with her. β
Hearing Zhao Qirui mention Chu Yulan, Chu Chen thought of a question that he had been concerned about for a long time, and asked, "Uncle, does Xiaolan have dependent personality disorder?" β
Zhao Qirui nodded. Then he asked a little strangely: "Achen, Xiaolan has this disease, but how do you know?" Although Yulan knew it, she didn't admit that she had this kind of problem in her heart. She shouldn't have mentioned it to you. β
"This, Xiaolan really didn't mention it to me, it's because I have seen this kind of case on the Internet before. Based on her description and my own feelings, I just don't know if it's right or not. β
"Oh. Achen, you're pretty good. β
As he spoke, Zhao Qirui sighed. Said: "Yulan is also a hard-working child, she has been abused in the orphanage since she was a child, when my sister and brother-in-law went to adopt her, there were few places on the body that were complete, all of them were scars, and I felt very pitiful when I looked at it." The root cause of her problem is because of what happened during this time. β
"But fortunately, my sister found out early, and after treatment, her condition is much better, at least not as extreme as other patients, and she also knows how to be "kind" and "reward". However, because the soul was hurt too much at the beginning, it is impossible to say that there is no possibility of a complete heal, but it is difficult. β
Speaking of this, Zhao Qirui looked at Chu Chen and said, "Achen, my sister's health is not very good, and my brother-in-law is so busy, so sometimes, Yulan can only trouble you to take care of it, okay?" β
Chu Chen couldn't object to this kind of thing, so Zhao Qirui continued: "Ah Chen, there is just one thing you have to pay attention to, that is, in normal times, don't be too accommodating to her, some things can be done with her ability, let her complete them by herself, otherwise her dependence will be heavier, and it will not be good for her condition." β
When Chu Chen nodded in understanding, Ah Chao reminded them that the destination had arrived.
After Chu Chen got out of the car, he looked around, the surrounding houses were in the style of typical northern rural areas, many of them were red brick houses with separate courtyards on the first floor, of course, some people's houses had tiles, or mosaics, or coated with lime cement on the walls.
The family in front of Chu Chen and them is covered with tiles on the wall, and it seems that the quality of the tiles is good, which can be seen from this point that this family should have a good background.
The owner of this family is a man in his forties, who looks quite gentle, and also wears a pair of black-framed glasses, he has received a call from Zhao Qirui before, so he waited at the door early, Chu Chen and they just got out of the car, he walked to the car with a smile.
After that, the two sides introduced each other, this middle-aged man's surname is Meng, he is the person who sold Zhao Xueyi's colorful character jar before, and he also introduced the place where he took out the house this time.
After the two sides introduced, the middle-aged man said with some guilt: "Just call me Lao Meng, I really can't stand Lao Zhao last time, that thing is also handed down by my ancestors, I really don't know that thing is an old imitation." β
Chu Chen and the others just smiled slightly after hearing this, noncommittal, antiques, seeing is believing, even if you say that it is out of the blue, it is still fake, and who knows if your thing is really ancestral heirloom, maybe it is a mine you planted.
Zhao Qirui waved his hand and said, "Old Meng, we're short on time, where is the place you said, take us over now, okay?" β
Lao Meng is also from the old rivers and lakes, seeing Chu Chen's disapproving attitude, his emotions did not fluctuate much, and he smiled: "The place is not far, just walk for five or six minutes, let's talk about the specific situation while walking." β
When the two heard this, they said yes, and then followed Lao Meng to the west of the village.
"The place I went to this time was the home of one of my cousins, his family used to be landlords, but the older generation was more open-minded, and they funded several old revolutionaries back then, so during that time, although their family suffered a lot, they finally saved their fortunes, and later returned a lot of the family property that had been confiscated before."
"Actually, their family used to be good, but recently my cousin's youngest son had a big accident."
Speaking of this, he let out a long sigh and said: "Some time ago, he was drunk and drove into a car accident, and killed two old and one young man on the spot, and also disabled one, what a sin!" In this way, he will not only have to suffer a lawsuit, but also lose a lot of money. There is no way, the family can only sell the things left by their ancestors for money, actively compensate, and strive to reduce the sentence by a few years. β
Speaking of zuihou, Lao Meng is embarrassed, so haode a family, zuihou was ruined by drunk driving, the lesson is too profound!
Although Chu Chen and the others don't know whether what Lao Meng said is true or not, but this incident has also sounded a wake-up call for people with cars who have a lot of dinners like them, and they must not drive after drinking, don't take any chances in this matter, as the old saying goes, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case!
Chu Chen and the others followed Lao Meng to a house, although the house of this family is also a typical northern house, but the decoration is better than that of Lao Meng's house, and it is indeed as Lao Meng said before.
Lao Meng knocked on the door, and it took a while for a while to walk out of the white-haired old man, with a sad face, and a discerning person knew at a glance that something was likely to happen to his family.
The old man looked at Chu Chen and the others and asked, "Baosheng, what's the matter with this time?" β
"Uncle, didn't I tell you yesterday that the boss came over today to see a few good things in your house, why did you forget it?"
"Hey, look at my memory."
The old man patted his head violently, and said with an excited expression: "I'm really sorry, my memory hasn't been very good recently." Come on, come on! Hurry up and come in! After saying that, he made a gesture and welcomed everyone in.
The old man led everyone to the living room, and then Lao Meng introduced the two parties.
The old man called himself Lao Chen, and after the introduction of the two parties, he wanted to make a cup of tea for Chu Chen and them, but after everyone entered the door just now, they met several of Lao Chen's family members, and they all looked worried, which made the atmosphere here a little gloomy and bleak, which made Chu Chen and them feel very uncomfortable.
So Zhao Qirui opened his mouth and said: "Lao Chen, we are still in a hurry, there is no need to make tea, if it is convenient for you, take us to see things." β
βhaodeοΌ haodeοΌ β
Lao Chen is now in urgent need of money, as long as he can buy his things, it can be said that he is responsive, hearing Zhao Qirui say this, he quickly nodded and led everyone to a small room that looked like a pile of miscellaneous items.
"Hehe, that's it, my father specially explained back then, if you don't encounter difficulties, you can't sell the things handed down by your ancestors, so the things have always been placed here."
As he spoke, Lao Chen took out the key and opened the door, and suddenly there was a cloud of dust, causing everyone to cough again and again, and it was too late for them to retreat.
Seeing this, Lao Chen hurriedly said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! We don't usually come to this place, only before the New Year will be cleaned once, just now in a hurry to forget, but also please everyone Haihan! (To be continued......)
