Zhu Asheng took the car home, and Yang Liu saw that it was late, so he bought a boxed lunch and went to the hospital.

Lin Zhiyu was sitting on a chair reading a book, and the old man Lu on the bed was already asleep.

Yang Liu handed a lunch box to Lin Zhiyu.

"Where's Ah Sheng?" Lin Zhiyu took the lunch box and asked without seeing Zhu Asheng.

"He went home." Yang Liu also brought the lunch box, and the two got up and prepared to eat outside, The air in the room was really indescribable.

Yang Liu told him about buying clothes for him, and told Lin Zhiyu that the proprietress misunderstood her.

Lin Zhiyu said with a smile: "That woman thinks you have bad intentions, not to mention, the locals are somewhat discriminatory against people from other places!" ”

"Don't say it, Zhu Asheng's money is really in our hands. I only gave him a hundred dollars today. Yang Liu asked with some hesitation: "He has been outside for so many years, and it is a little less to take only a hundred yuan home, so I am afraid that I will not get a good face when I go home." ”

"Don't think about it too much, no matter how much Zhu Asheng takes back, his family will not be satisfied. Didn't you let him change his clothes because of that? ”

"Hmm!" Yang Liu didn't know if he was too careful.

After eating for a while, she asked again, "What did the doctor say?" ”

"Not optimistic!" Lin Zhiyu sighed, but he was mentally prepared, and he was not too sad.

The next day, Old Man Lu was in better spirits, and after breakfast, he clamored to see his shop, Lin Zhiyu could only rent a wheelchair, and took a taxi with Yang Liu to take him to the antique street.

To be honest, they had never heard the old man talk about the shop for so many years, and they thought it was a shop he rented, but they didn't expect it to be Old Man Lu's own property, and it was left by his ancestors.

It seems that he is in a hurry to come back, and another reason is to deal with these things.

The dilapidated door of the shop was locked, and Old Man Lu pulled out a chain from his neck, with a key tied to it, He took it down and handed it to Lin Zhiyu.

Lin Zhiyu opened the door, and there was a perennial musty smell and dust smell in the house!

"Don't come in yet, I'll open the windows for ventilation!" Lin Zhiyu covered his mouth and nose and said to them.

There are very few old residents on this street, and they are all newcomers. The owner of the shop next door came out to take a look, and when he saw that the door had been opened with a key, he knew that the old resident had returned.

This man was a man about thirty years old, and he came forward to greet Yang Liu very enthusiastically: "Are you back to open a shop?" ”

Yang Liu shook his head: "No, just come back and take a look!" ”

The man glanced at Yang Liu, but he didn't expect the beautiful woman in front of him to have a good attitude, so he smiled and said more enthusiastically: "Our street has been renovated, and the flow of people is also large, how cost-effective is your shop empty, if you want to rent it out, I can help!" ”

Old man Lu has no family, even if he doesn't say it, Yang Liu guessed that this shop was to be left to Lin Zhiyu. Then it involves the problem of taking care of the shop, not to mention the ancestral property, which must not be sold, and can only be rented out over there.

So, she talked to the other party and asked how much the shop could be rented.

Lin Zhiyu opened the doors and windows of the backyard, took a broom and swept the cobwebs at random before walking out.

Before I went out, I saw that the old man Lu had left the wheelchair and was standing alone under the eaves and caressing the carvings on the door, his eyes full of nostalgia and reluctance.

Immediately, he saw Yang Liu and a man talking happily, his brows couldn't help frowning, he walked up to the master in a few steps, and stretched out his hand to help the master: "Master, I cleaned it up briefly, let's go in!" ”

"Good! It's been seven years and I'm back! ”

Lin Zhiyu turned his head and found that Yang Liu was still talking to the man, so he shouted Yang Liu: "Yang Liu, enter the house!" ”

Hearing his voice, the man stopped. Obviously, this woman is already a famous flower, and she is not a simple character.

Yang Liu said goodbye to the man: "Don't bother for now, I'll trouble you when you need it!" ”

Lin Zhiyu also nodded politely at the other party, and went in with the master.

The store was smashed before, and Zhu Asheng once came to clean it up briefly, but now it still looks messy.

Old man Lu broke free from Lin Zhiyu's support, walked around slowly, and looked carefully at this home that really belonged to him, his cloudy eyes were slowly stained with wetness.

Lin Zhiyu stood in the middle of the room, staring at the master with good eyes, afraid that he would fall, but asked Yang Liu in his mouth: "Who is that?" Talking so energetically? ”

"The owner of the shop next door, I'd like to inquire about the situation in this neighborhood." Yang Liu turned his head to look around and replied casually.

After looking around, Old Man Lu was a little gasping and said to Lin Zhiyu: "Help me go to the backyard, I have something for you." ”

Lin Zhiyu helped the old man Lu to walk to the backyard, Yang Liu turned around and went out to move the wheelchair into the house, and closed the door before going to the back.

There is a patio in the backyard, a total of three bedrooms, a kitchen, and a toilet, but now it is basically unusable, and the roof tiles are already shining through, and the house is dim, damp, and there is no electricity!

Old man Lu walked to his former bedroom, which was fine and had not been messed up.

He was so tired that Yang Liu wiped a stool and placed it by the window for him to sit down.

"You open the movable board inside the bed, and there's some stuff left over from me!" After he took a breath, he instructed Lin Zhiyu to get something.

There is a dark compartment in the old-fashioned bed, if Old Man Lu doesn't say it, it will be difficult for anyone to find out; What's more, in this dilapidated house, it seems that no one will come to steal.

There was a lacquered wooden box containing the deed to the house, and a long tin box containing strings of agarwood beads wrapped in silk.

Yang Liu and Lin Zhiyu glanced at each other, this turned out to be the string they took from them in the first place.

Old man Lu gave these two things to Lin Zhiyu: "You can collect the deed first, and we will go to the transfer today, I'm afraid that if I die, you will have trouble transferring the property!" You can do whatever you want with this house! Also, this string of agarwood is returned to its original owner, and our fate can be regarded as having a beginning and an end. ”

These words are equivalent to confessing their last words, Lin Zhiyu and Yang Liu did not have the joy of regaining, and silently closed the box, all the words seemed extremely redundant at this time.

Old man Lu pressed on the inner edge of the lacquered wooden box and opened the dark compartment below.

Inside is a set of jadeite, which can be seen even in a dimly lit room.

Yang Liu and Lin Zhiyu breathed sluggishly, and looked at Old Man Lu together.

Old man Lu caressed the earrings, rings, hostas, long necklaces, and palm-sized jade pendants one by one with great care!

"When my mother died, she gave it to me, saying that it was a family heirloom, and it was supposed to be passed on to her daughter-in-law, but I didn't find her daughter-in-law, so I'll pass it on to you now!"

Yang Liu waved his hand again and again, this thing is the real treasure, Yang Liu felt panicked when he received it!

"What? Don't like the old man's things? Old man Lu stared deliberately, but there was no anger in his eyes.

Lin Zhiyu picked up the box and put it in Yang Liu's palm, Yang Liu took it silently, looked down at the jade ornament, and had mixed feelings in his heart, their care for Old Man Lu in exchange for so many things was a little too much!

But she still smiled: "How can I not look down on it, I just feel a little unbearable, this thing is too valuable!" ”

"We are not relatives, but thanks to you for taking care of me for so many years, am I not polite? I treat Lin Zhiyu as a son, you are my daughter-in-law, this thing should be given to you, you can keep it! ”
