Chapter 359: Luo Wenxin (2)
"Uncle Luo has already sold the villa a long time ago and lived elsewhere?" I couldn't help but be surprised to hear this news that Luo Wenxin had never mentioned.
Manager Zheng smiled and nodded, didn't say much, didn't ask anything, and maintained a sufficient sense of distance in his politeness, just like when the contradiction broke out and didn't want to get involved too deeply, he chose Mingzhe to protect himself, and in turn helped me a little.
Since Luo Wenxin no longer lives here, there is no point in staying longer, so after thinking for a while, he didn't say anything more, thanked the former, and got back in the car and rushed to another place.
Luo Wenxin has a lot of real estate in his name, but there are many places to stay, even I who is closest to him, I still don't know how many assets he has, even if the villa is sold, there are still many places to live, so the best way is to contact him to determine where to go again, so as not to run empty again. But I don't know why, I subconsciously felt that he should be in the remote and dilapidated small courtyard that he used to use to meet the owner in the past, so I decided not to contact him for now, but to run to this place first, and then talk about it when he was gone.
The sale of the villa without a sound made me even more curious about how he lived alone since he broke his hand and had no one to take care of him, so he couldn't contact him in advance if he could still find it.
Nearly an hour later, under my guidance, the little woman drove the car into Majing Village, which is located near the railway tracks in Touhe District in the southern suburbs, and after passing through it for a while, the road became more and more potholes, and became more and more narrow and sparsely populated.
Under the mossy cement hollow brick wall, there was no tricycle that Luo Wenxin used to ride, and he just came to the red lacquered wooden door that was cracked and mottled and exuded a rotten atmosphere, and before he knocked on the door, he saw Luo Wenxin in the courtyard through the gap between the door frame and the wall.
I saw a faint smell of, in the courtyard corner full of dry grass, Luo Wenxin sat on a small wooden bench in front of the bungalow, a high stool in front of him, a stainless steel rice basin on the stool, next to Xiaodie with peanuts, a pair of chopsticks on it, a wine bottle at the foot of the stool, a stainless steel rice spoon in his right hand, was eating slowly, put down the spoon from time to time, picked up a peanut and fed it into his mouth, picked up the wine bottle and drank a small sip of wine, and from time to time picked up some rice grains from the rice bowl and sprinkled them on the ground. Feeding a few chicks in front of him, and basking in the warm sun sprinkled through the clouds, it seems to be full of comfort, but if you think of this person, who was once the "soil emperor" in this huge city industry, this comfort is full of desolation.
This...... Is it really the beautiful scenery in the past, and Luo Wenxin can't be said for a lifetime?
Looking at such a picture, especially looking at the empty sleeve that shook with the swing of the limbs, I couldn't help but feel a little shocked in my heart, and suddenly felt a little sad for no reason.
Put away his thoughts, silently returned to the car with his little daughter-in-law, took off the nutritious gifts he bought halfway, took a breath back to the courtyard gate, and knocked on the door gently.
The sound of rustling footsteps and the sound of chickens crowing followed, and then the red lacquered wooden door opened in response, and Luo Wenxin, who saw that it was me and Zhang Xiaowei, was obviously stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he hurriedly wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
"Uncle Luo, are you still eating?" I asked with a smile.
"Yes, why did you remember that Uncle Ran was here, and he didn't just say in advance that I would prepare a meal? Have you ever eaten it? Just come here, why mention these things, I don't need it. Luo Wenxin said with a smile.
I nodded and said, "I've eaten it, leave us alone." Isn't it been three days since I came back, and I've been in the house all the time and I'm bored, and anyway, there's nothing to do at the moment, so I want to wander around. ”
"It's good to have a heart, it's good to have a heart, come into the house and sit down." Luo Wenxin couldn't tell that we had come to see him, and immediately laughed happily.
When I entered the house, I took the opportunity to take a look at the rice bowl on the stool on the side of the aisle, and there was some unfinished white rice and green vegetable and bean sprouts. After entering the hall and sitting down on the low old sofa, Luo Wenxin went to the kitchen to get two snacks and a few drinks with me, and the expression he showed in his laughter was very much like a lonely old man in the countryside who could only welcome the speaker in the family for a long time, even worse than the lonely old man, at least there are not many disabled old men.
Although in fact there is no mood to drink, the key is to receive us, or a hand without a hand, once in the industry to call the wind and rain, but now live alone in this broken yard, with a few chickens all day long, the door can be a bird, experienced the ups and downs of the old man, but think about it carefully, come to come, not stay for a while is not very like, so I gladly accepted the arrangement, got up and went to prepare together.
However, Luo Wenxin, no matter what, he didn't want us to participate in the action, saying that he could do it himself, and he had long been used to coming by himself, and Zhang Xiaowei and I were squeezing into the narrow kitchen, but we were making trouble for him. I had no choice but to stand at the door of the kitchen, talking to Luo Wenxin, while watching him use one hand to take out the things he was going to get out of the refrigerator and wash and cut them.
It can be seen that Luo Wenxin is completely truthful, and after more than half a year, he has really become completely accustomed to taking care of his life with one hand. Although from the perspective of others, one hand is really too clumsy and inconvenient, but he can get it down in an orderly manner, although in terms of efficiency, it is indeed much slower than that of a person with sound limbs, but he can finally take care of himself.
More than half an hour later, a plate of peanuts, a plate of cold cucumbers, half a steamed roast chicken, and a plate of fried pork slices with fungus were made out under Luo Wenxin's hands. Then Luo Wenxin went to the bedroom and took out a bottle of ordinary unopened liquor, put the dishes on the small coffee table in the hall, moved a small stool and sat down and began to eat.
After a few glasses of wine, as the wine gradually became hot, the conversation box gradually opened, and then I asked Luo Wenxin: Uncle Luo, why did you think of selling the house in Zhongtian Garden and moving here to live, isn't that place very good to live in? And you've been living here for more than ten years, and you've been there since I came to the provincial capital when I was a child, and the key is that the conditions over there are much better, so why do you have to sell it to live here, and I haven't heard you talk about it at all, is there any reason for being forced to do it?
Luo Wenxin smiled lightly, picked up the wine glass and invited me to have a drink together, and said Xiao Nian, don't worry, there is no last resort, that is, my uncle lives alone now, such a big place is very empty for a person, sometimes I can't meet a person who can talk for several days, it's strange and cold, and it's a trouble to clean up, instead of spending time every day to clean up the house, it's better to simply sell it to save trouble, and if you're bored here, you can go out and talk to your neighbors, it's also good.
"Is that because of financial pressure?" Naturally, I can't just believe all of his words.
Although Luo Wenxin's house is many, but the stall is big, and the expenses are equally large, since he broke a hand, Xiaoyu, who has been helping him with these things, also ran away with his belongings, it is bound to have a lot of impact on his economy, and after such a turmoil, he is destined to be difficult to return to his previous position, so that the decline is inevitable. So in my opinion, the reason why he sold the villa was to save money, and also to make up for the gap in other aspects through this than money.
However, what I didn't expect was that the truth was not at all what I imagined, because Luo Wenxin then told me that what he sold was not only the villa, but all the properties under his name and the facades of several prosperous areas have been disposed of, and now only this small courtyard that was placed many years ago, and the small courtyard where we currently live, the money from the disposal of all assets has been donated through various channels, and a primary school has been built in his hometown, which has been largely completed.
"Why?" After hearing this, I couldn't help but be even more surprised, even shocked.
Luo Wenxin loves money, especially real estate, which is something that people who really know him will know, otherwise he would not have spent half his life carefully building a pyramid in the industry to make money, and to dispose of so many real estates, even to the extent that our master and apprentice who have the closest relationship with him are not clear at all. I would believe that such a money-loving person was forced to do this because of the situation, but if he did it without any pressure and donated all the property he had saved all his life, I felt unbelievable and couldn't believe it at all.
Could it be that after that turmoil, especially Xiaoyu's betrayal, he was hit too hard, and then saw through these things and completely changed his sex?
"Xiao Nian, what should I say about my uncle?" Facing the shocked and strange eyes of me and the little woman, I saw Luo Wenxin smile lightly, and after being silent for a while with a rather complicated expression, he said: "I won't say more about the things that have passed." Even if you have never said it for so many years, and you have basically never shown it, Uncle also knows that you have always been dissatisfied with some of Uncle's behavior. These uncles know, but they don't care much all the time, and they don't deliberately hide their true nature in front of your master and apprentice, and it is precisely because Uncle doesn't care that I believe that one day you will understand me, although your master is a person who is really indifferent to fame and fortune, but Uncle believes that you will understand sooner or later, because this is what today's society is like. ”
"Uncle is a man who loves money, and this is not false at all. Almost all the things that Uncle has done in his life are for the sake of a money word, and for this word, Uncle has done a lot of wrong things, and has always been at ease, although he knows very well in his heart that he will not hesitate to go to hell and be punished in the future. Although Uncle can be regarded as a cultivator, he has never cultivated the Dao heart, or the uncle's Dao heart is money, and he can do anything for the sake of money and things, not to cultivate the Yin virtue after death, let alone the blessings of the next life. ”
"For a long time, my uncle believed that my uncle would continue like this in his life, and he would not change until he closed his eyes, let alone be affected by others, but he didn't expect that he would finally change his mind, but it seemed to be too late." Speaking of this, Luo Wenxin stopped, looked at me and the little woman and smiled slightly, with a deep sense of self-deprecation.
"That'...... What made your mind change? I poured him the wine again, and after a moment of hesitation, I asked.
In my opinion, what can prompt him to change so much at his age and temperament can only be the betrayal of Xiaoyu, who has no one to know what his relationship is, but judging from what he said just now, it doesn't seem to be like this, or it's not just that.
Luo Wenxin smiled lightly, didn't answer again, picked up the full wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Seeing this, I also poured my own wine glass and drank it all.
"Xiao Nian, you and your master are both good people, really good people. Since you can all forgive me for making such a big mistake and almost putting you to death, I am not to blame for the past, and I will do my best to save my life, so it is only natural that my uncle will do something for you. If you don't know how to repent and don't know how to repay your kindness, you really don't have a pity to die, and you deserve to be spit on the corpse and tombstone. Although it had been decided that he would not say anything, I would not ask any more, and after being silent for a while, Luo Wenxin still smiled earnestly.
I couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Listen to this meaning, it turns out that it is because of me and the old man?
Now, the purpose of coming is no longer taken into account, Luo Wenxin has sold all the assets under his name, only this dilapidated small courtyard and triple courtyard are left, it is undoubtedly inappropriate to speak at this time, no matter how anxious you are, you have to pass this paragraph first.
But even if I didn't open my mouth, I had to inform him of the current situation, so after thinking about it, I was ready to tell him about the fact that my family was living in the courtyard at present, although in fact he knew.
Unexpectedly, before I could speak, Luo Wenxin spoke before me again. He said: "Xiao Nian, I am now the same as your master, and I am already a homeless person in this world, but really speaking, he is still much better than me, after all, he at least has you, and my uncle and I have nothing." Uncle doesn't dare to hope anymore, you treat me as a family member, in fact, even if you are willing, Uncle is also deserved, so when it comes to this, Uncle can only hope that in the future, if you can, after Uncle closes his eyes, you can be Uncle's corpse collector and send Uncle on his last journey. ”
I was suddenly shocked in my heart, and I looked up at him seriously.
