Chu Chen's newly bought villa is located to the west of Liu's hometown, almost one hundred and fifty meters away from Liu's hometown.

When he got there, Chu Chen looked inside through the gate, and the area was indeed hundreds of ten square meters larger than Liu's hometown, but compared to the artistic conception, it was far worse than Liu's old side.

After opening the door, Liu Qinshu walked while introducing some matters that need attention to Chu Chen.

The villas in Yuhuating are also divided into several grades, with different sizes and sizes, which also correspond to the political level of the buyer. At the beginning, the older generation of this villa was a little higher than Liu Lao's, so he was able to buy this villa. Of course, there is no requirement for this now, otherwise Chu Chen would not be qualified to buy it.

However, after the death of the older generation, the strength of the family is not as good as before, and there are political enemies who have fallen into the ground, if it weren't for Liu Lao because he was friends with the old master, he pulled them along, maybe the family would have been ruined a long time ago, and it was precisely because of this that he owed Liu Lao a favor.

Chu Chen suddenly realized, no wonder Liu Qinshu said before that this villa was just an addition, this kind of great favor, just the sale of a villa, how can it be repaid.

Since the purchase of this villa, it has not undergone any renovations, and it still maintains its original appearance, with a small garden on the east and west sides of the yard and a small swimming pool on the west side.

Not far away is a three-story building, the construction area is larger than Liu's home, and there are many tall trees and vegetation around the villa, giving people a very quiet feeling.

The layout of the entire villa is still decent, but I have seen the scenery of Liu Lao's side after the renovation before, and of course Chu Chen will not be satisfied with the environment here.

After Liu Qinshu took Chu Chen around the courtyard, he asked him, "Xiao Chu, are you sure you want to change it here?" ”

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I want to transform this place into the kind of idyllic scenery of small bridges and flowing waters." ”

Liu Qinshu smiled: "It seems that Xiao Chu likes a leisurely atmosphere, then use the group that helped my dad design before, what do you think?" ”

Chu Chen didn't think about it, so he agreed: "Of course, I'm still sorry, but I'm going to trouble you, Aunt Liu." ”

"What's the trouble here, I'll ask him to contact you in the afternoon, let's go, now let's go inside and have a look."

After opening the door of the villa with the key, a cool breeze suddenly came, sweeping away the summer heat around Chu Chen. Each villa here is equipped with central air conditioning, and the air conditioning is turned on immediately after completing the formalities at the property side.

The layout of the villa is similar to that of Liu Lao, the entrance is the living room, and there is furniture and everything, if it weren't for the thick layer of dust in the room, Chu Chen would have been able to live here tonight.

After Liu Qinshu came in, he said: "Xiao Chu, this time is also your luck, after this family moved, he went to work in the field half a year ago." After I went, I felt that I was doing a good job there, and I was ready to settle down there and take root. ”

"A few days ago, I just had the intention of selling this villa, and my dad quickly contacted him, otherwise I can't say if you can become the owner here."

"Hehe, I'm thanking Liu Lao for my blessing. But Aunt Liu, why didn't the previous owner even move the furniture here? Chu Chen asked a little strangely after looking around.

Liu Qinshu smiled and said: "Important things have been taken away, and things like furniture are not worth a few dollars, and they will sell them back to collect scrap." I've seen it before, and there are only a few mahogany tables and chairs that you still use, and the others are different from your decoration style, and you need to replace them all then. ”

Chu Chen thought about it, the furniture and the like here are all modern styles, and the effect he wants is completely different, and he will definitely have to replace them at that time. However, these furniture can't be sold for a few dollars, Chu Chen thought about it, and decided to donate it to the school when he was in school.

Although the reform and opening up has indeed achieved great results in recent years, it has really not changed much for the mountainous areas where Chu Chen has lived since he was a child. Two years ago, on the third anniversary of his father's death, Chu Chen also went back on a special trip, but except for the two newly built houses, he couldn't see any difference from before.

Chu Chen also went to the school where his father worked, which was also his alma mater, but what he saw was still the same as when he left, the whole school was in tatters, and the students were still crowded into classrooms with strong winds outside and light winds inside, with desks and chairs with missing arms and legs.

Chu Chen was in a heavy mood and donated all the 30,000 yuan he had saved with great difficulty to the school. In the past two years, he will also donate a little money directly to the school at the end of each year.

Fortunately, at the beginning of this year, the old principal sent him a letter saying that the government was already building a new school for them, and the conditions of the school would definitely be much better than before. However, due to limited funds, most of the school's desks and chairs can only be replaced, and some of them have to be solved by the school itself.

So Chu Chen decided that in addition to donating all these old furniture this time, he was also going to buy some tables and chairs to transport them over, and then buy some books to help the school build a small library. As for donating a large amount of money to the school, Chu Chen didn't think about it, not that he was stingy, but he knew that the school would have a lot of money at that time, and if he didn't do it, he would be targeted.

Even if it was the books he bought for the school, Chu Chen was worried that after he left, some people would use the idea of these books to use them where they were needed most.

Chu Chen thought about things while casually turning the villa from bottom to top, but when he came to the study and swept his eyes over a pen holder on the desk, Bao Jue actually reacted. So he hurriedly walked over, picked up the pen holder and looked at it.

This is a blue and white pen holder, the pen holder is painted with an amphibious map, although it looks more exquisite from a distance, but as soon as it arrives, Chu Chen can see that this pen holder is not made of mineral materials, but chemical materials, so this pen holder is just a modern handicraft.

It's just a modern handicraft, and Baojue will react, with the previous experience of the bamboo carving pen holder, Chu Chen certainly understands that this is because of weishenme. Sure enough, after his careful observation, this pen holder did hide a mystery.

"Hehe, I've been really close to the pen holder recently!"

However, when Chu Chen was about to find a tool to take out the contents of this pen holder, he heard Liu Qinshu calling him outside.

"Xiao Chu, have you finished reading, my dad told us to come over for dinner, if you haven't seen enough, come back after eating."

Chu Chen answered, picked up the pen holder and hurriedly walked out.

Liu Qinshu saw the pen holder in Chu Chen's hand, and asked a little strangely, "Xiao Chu, what did you do with a pen holder?" ”

Chu Chen raised the pen holder, and said with a smile: "Aunt Liu, you'll know later." ”

"Oh? Show me, I see what a good thing it is. ”

Hearing Chu Chen say this, Liu Qinshu suddenly became interested, but after taking the pen holder, he looked left and right and didn't find anything unusual, so he shook his head and said: "I only see that this is a modern handicraft, and I really can't see the rest." ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Aunt Liu, you can compare the depth of the pen holder." ”

After Liu Qinshu heard this, he put his finger in, and after a while, he touched the bottom of the barrel, and then compared it on the surface of the pen holder, but it was only two-thirds of the position of the pen holder.

Seeing this result, Liu Qinshu understood what was going on: "Xiao Chu, you said that there is something hidden in this pen holder?" But I've just seen that the bottom of this pen holder is full of haode, how can you put something in it? ”

Chu Chen smiled mysteriously and said: "Aunt Liu, this pen holder has a lot in it, let's eat first, and I'll open it after eating, and then you will know." ”

Hearing Chu Chen say this, Liu Qinshu still looked at the pen holder inside and out, but he didn't find anything, so he could only wait for Chu Chen to reveal the mystery.

After going back, he told Liu Laoyi about the pen holder, and he was also very interested, but in the end, Liu Laoyi was calm, so that the two of them should not be impatient when eating. Now that Liu Lao has spoken, the two of them can only chew and finish their meals slowly.

After eating, the three of them came to Liu Lao's workshop, and Liu Qinshu couldn't wait to say: "Xiao Chu, now you can talk about it!" ”

Chu Chen didn't answer directly, but asked with a smile: "Aunt Liu, is there a longer knife here?" ”

"Yes."

Liu Qinshu hurriedly found a long fruit knife and handed it to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen took the knife, then reached into the pen holder and scraped it, and after a while, he scraped out a thick layer of substance like white wax, and then handed the pen holder to Liu Lao and them. Sure enough, the wax was scraped off, and a small crack could be seen at the bottom, which made the two suddenly realize.

Liu Lao asked a little strangely: "Xiao Chu, how did you think that this pen holder has a lot of things in it?" ”

Chu Chen found an excuse after looking for it, and said with a smile: "Old Liu, have you forgotten?" My smoker box was found from the pen holder, today I saw this pen holder, I habitually probed, I didn't expect that there is really a lot inside, it seems that the blind cat can catch the dead mouse, there is also a certain reason. ”

Hearing Chu Chen say this, Liu Lao shook his head and said with a smile: "That's why the great man said, no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can catch a mouse, it is a good cat, okay, let's hurry up and take out the things inside." ”

Chu Chen nodded, and then carefully picked the bottom of the pen holder with a fruit knife, and after picking a few times, he felt that the bottom was a little loose, so he gently buckled the pen holder upside down on the table, only to hear a soft sound of "click", and the bottom, which was slightly larger than the wine glass, fell on the table.
