Chen Xuan drove out of the apartment with Lin Siyu, and when he came to a fork in the road, Lin Siyu suddenly said, "Stop." ”

"What's wrong?" Chen Xuan asked in surprise.

Lin Siyu didn't explain, just asked him to park the car on the side of the road, and then switched places with him and drove by himself.

Compared with Chen Xuan, her car drove much more smoothly. More than forty minutes later, the two arrived at a resort in a quiet environment.

The car walked along the smooth concrete pavement until it reached the quiet depths.

In front of a courtyard-style building, Xiang Yuqing was standing there. Seeing the car coming, she took a step forward in an orderly manner: "Mr. Lin, the room has already been arranged, you can go in and rest at any time." ”

"Take him to rest. Lin Siyu pointed at Chen Xuan, then got out of the car and left with full aura.

Chen Xuan followed Xiang Yuqing to the arranged room. The courtyard here is different from the old Beijing, it is much larger, and at first glance it is a modern building, luxurious and tidy, but it is relatively low-key.

Through the window, Chen Xuan saw beautiful rural scenery, and there was a feeling of truly stepping into nature.

"Rest. Xiang Yuqing said expressionlessly, she was full of slander in her heart, and she didn't know why Mr. Lin had brought such an irrelevant person over.

"I'm very energetic and I don't want to rest at all. But if you're willing to stay with me, I'll be able to make it difficult for you......"

A heavy closing sound of the door directly interrupted Chen Xuan's words.

has been following the female president of Iceberg all year round, and Xiang Yuqing's style of acting has been subtly changed a lot. Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, which is what he said.

Lying on the comfortable bed, Chen Xuan wondered, he felt that Lin Siyu's behavior today was a little strange, it should not be as simple as simply coming to the resort for leisure.

After lying down for a while, he got bored, walked out of the room, and walked outside.

This place is far away from the downtown area, surrounded by lush vegetation, with a quiet river running through it, and fishing boats rowing on it, which is quite a bit of the artistic conception of ink painting.

It's just that Chen Xuan is puzzled that there are no tourists in such a beautiful resort, and he can't even see a few cars. So what does it rely on to maintain, you can't keep sticking money, this is not Lin Siyu's style.

After walking for a while, Chen Xuan saw a girl in shabby clothes, she was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with two long ponytails, standing in a small boat, singing and paddling.

Looking at the girl who kept coming to the shore, Chen Xuan beckoned to her and said, "Little sister, I want to ask you something." ”

The girl also saw Chen Xuan, as a native fisherman, she was not common for a man in a suit and leather shoes like Chen Xuan. Her big eyes blinked, her face was a little shy, and her paddling hands stopped unconsciously.

"Tingting, who is talking to you?" said the old man's voice from the cabin. Then, an old man dressed in a cloak and carrying a dry cigarette came out.

The girl named Tingting put down her sculls, hid behind the old man, and poked out half of her face from time to time, looking at Chen Xuan with big watery eyes.

The old man smiled heartily and propped up his oars to let the boat come to shore. He wiped the sweat on his body with a towel, looked at Chen Xuan, and said happily: "The girls are a little shy, please don't be surprised." ”

The old man was very old, but his waist was very straight, his body looked very strong, and he spoke with a lot of energy.

"Uncle must be seventy years old, right?" Chen Xuan didn't have anything to do, and was willing to have a good chat with the old man.

The old man looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, and said, "No, I'm 94 this year." ”

Chen Xuan was surprised, he didn't want this old man to be so old and still so healthy, it was really rare.

"Who is this girl?"

The old man touched Tingting's black hair and said, "You said Tingting, she is my little granddaughter, she grew up with me by the river when she was a child, and her personality is particularly introverted and shy. Come, Tingting, say hello to my brother. ”

Tingting pulled the old man's clothes, but she didn't want to come out.

"Do you two grandchildren live together, what about her father and mother?" asked Chen Xuan.

The old man's brows furrowed, he sighed deeply, and said, "Ten years ago, the flood swept away both of her parents, leaving only us, the old and the young, to depend on each other. ”

Chen Xuan's heart was gloomy for a while, he originally thought that the life of fishermen should be leisurely, but he didn't want to be so ill-fated, and looking at their clothes, life should be quite hard.

"What do you do to make ends meet?"

"Carrying guests on the river, fishing when no one is around, just mix food and clothing. ”

"Why don't you go to the city, where the economy is good and there are more opportunities?"

The old man took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I'm so old, what can I do when I go to the city? This river has fed me all my life, and after I die, I have to return my body to it, even if it is to repay its nurturing kindness. ”

Tingting pulled the old man's arm hard, not wanting him to continue, and lowered her head and silently shed tears.

The old man's personality is very open-minded, he smiled and stroked his granddaughter's little face, and said: "I have lived for such a long time, and I have already seen through life and death, but I don't worry about this little granddaughter, she is too young, how will she support herself in the future." ”

Chen Xuan's heart stirred, and he said: "Huaxia is so big, let her go to the city to break through, there will still be a way out." ”

"There are too many people in the city, this girl is honest, and she has no relatives and friends to help her, so it's strange not to be trapped. ”

"You're going a bit too far, there are some very nasty scum in the city, but there are also good people, right?"

The old man looked at Chen Xuan repeatedly, nodded, and said, "This is also reasonable, I don't know what the situation of others is, but you look like a good person." ”

Good people, if you knew how many lives my hands have taken you, you wouldn't think so. Chen Xuan secretly thought in his heart.

The old man stroked his long hair and said, "I have been carrying passengers on the river for more than 20 years, and I have seen everything I have, and I have developed a pair of fiery eyes to see people. ”

Chen Xuan also lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth: "Then what do you think I do?"

"The big boss who does business...... No, no, the manager of the Grand Hotel...... It doesn't seem right......"

Chen Xuan swallowed the clouds for a while, and said with a smile: "Since you are so optimistic about me, then so be it, I will help you bring Tingting to the city to seek development." ”

The old man's eyes lit up: "You didn't laugh in this later life, did you?"

"Of course not. ”

"Alright, let's settle it. ”

Chen Xuan was a little surprised: "Are you really not afraid that I'm a bad person at all?"

"Then it depends on Tingting's life. As long as she has a place to stay, I, the old fellow, can close my eyes in peace. ”

Tingting pouted, glanced at the old man, and said with some grievances: "Grandpa, I will guard you all my life and not go anywhere." ”

"Don't be stupid, grandpa is so old, how many years can he live? Besides, this place where we have lived for several lifetimes will be gone, and you won't even have a place to live by then. When the old man finished speaking, he sighed.

"Why not?" Chen Xuan asked in surprise.
