Chapter 5 Chapter Five Millennium Tree Ancestor

The luxurious H300 hydrogen-powered car ran all the way to the northwest, and the first stop was Huaiyuan Village in a mountainous area in the northwest.Xiao Shuihan said that this is where his soul lingers for "the previous life of the previous life". The ancient locust tree at home is said to be a reflection of this place.Following past practice, Qiu Feng hid his curiosity in his heart and ignored it. Xiao Shuihan took good care of Qiu Feng along the way. The H300 ran very smoothly. There are mahogany furniture, equipped with GPS positioning system, business computer, electric coffee pot, etc., and the facilities are very complete.Qiu Feng sometimes reclined to rest in the back row, talking to the fetus tirelessly with his fingers.Occasionally, when she felt fetal movement, she shouted happily:

"Shuihan, he moved again, kicking with his calf, this little thing is really restless!" Xiao Shuihan turned his head and glanced sideways, then smiled and said, "Which one is it? He or she?" "What about you? Do you want a son or a daughter?" "whatever." "No, I want to hear your opinion." "What do you think?" "I guess you must want a boy to continue the Xiao family's tree of life." "Ah, this is slandering me. When did I say that boys can continue the Xiao family's tree of life? Boys and girls are equally good. Daughters also continue our family tree, and they know how to love their parents."

Qiu Feng giggled, and said okay, it doesn't matter if you are male or female, but it is best to have a little girl and a little girl, each has its own advantages.She then asked her husband to stop and move to the front right seat.She found that her husband hadn't spoken for a long time, and he didn't know when he fell into that periodic depression again.Qiu Feng sighed in his heart: It must be the nightmare from the previous life coming again. She stopped talking and looked at her husband with pity. Don't look at her as a simple-minded woman. She doesn't believe in any myths about previous lives. She guessed that there must be some subconscious complex here, which may be caused by some childhood experience. Yes, the heart was injured and there was no peace, and a hard scar was formed—but according to him, he grew up in a Chinese area in country G before the age of 20. How could it be possible to choose the scene of his dream in Northwest China? ?

She sighed, she didn't want to rack her brains any more, it was her secret in life to leave troubles for tomorrow.Let's talk about it when we get to Huaiyuan Village, maybe this experience will cure his paranoia. They travel at their own pace, without a schedule—they have the rest of their lives to spend.They stayed at Grandma Qiu Feng's house for two days before departure.After the two got married, grandma resolutely refused to live with her grandson-in-law, so she had to let her stay in the old house and find a capable nanny for her.This time Qiu Feng told grandma that they were going abroad, and when they settled down in Australia, they would come to pick grandma up with them.Grandma smiled and said: "Feng'er, go, you will be very happy following Shuihan. But don't get me, I will never move."

"How can we do that? We live so far away, can you rest assured that we leave you at home alone?" No matter how the granddaughter persuaded her, grandma just shook her head.Later, when she was pressed hard, grandma whispered: "Don't try to persuade me, it's useless to persuade me any more, do you know why I don't go?" Qiu Feng said he didn't know. "Think about it, did Shuihan call you grandma after he married you?" Qiu Feng was speechless, Xiao Shuihan had never called grandma.She reluctantly explained: "Grandma, you know that Shui Han is older, and 'Grandma' can't say it, but he has always respected you very much. Don't argue about this, okay?"

"I don't argue, Shui Han is very good to me, I don't argue whether he should call me grandma or not. But you know, I always feel reserved when I'm with him, as if he is my elder...Don't laugh, it's true So don't persuade me, I will never live with you, just know your filial piety." Until they left, grandma didn't let go of this matter.Qiu Feng felt uncomfortable, but he could only follow grandma's wishes.They visited Jigong Mountain in Xinyang, the Big and Small Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an, and paid homage to the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor in Huangling County.When I went to the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, it was just in time for the Double Ninth Festival. There were crowds gathered in front of the mausoleum, and descendants of the Yellow Emperor from home and abroad were all solemnly saluting.What impressed Qiu Feng most was the cypress planted by the Yellow Emperor in the Xuanyuan Temple in Qiaoshan. It is said to be 5,000 years old. The branches are twisted and the leaves are densely layered like a huge green umbrella.The stone tablet next to it reads: "This cypress is fifty-eight feet high, thirty-one feet around, nineteen feet in the middle, and six feet in the top. Half, Geli Geda doesn’t count, it refers to this cypress.” Qiu Feng thought, 5000 years, if 25 years are regarded as a generation, 200 generations have already passed under this tree, generation after generation, life and death , No matter how powerful the hero is, it has turned into dust, but this old tree is still full of vitality.She could not help admiring it.

The next day, they got off the highway and wandered for a day on the steep loess sidewalk.Xiao Shuihan was worried about his wife's body, and looked sideways from time to time.He didn't plan to fly here because he wanted his wife, and unborn children, to walk the same path he had traveled. This overly remote yellow land has not been bathed in the spring breeze of the 22nd century.When the car hovered on the top of the slope, the eyes were full of rolling and dry loess ridges.Naturally, there is no lack of green in the earthy yellow background, but they appear weak and dull, lacking the brightness of southern vegetation.The road gets narrower and steeper the further north you go, and the H300's long body turns quite hard at times.The car went down the mountain road, waded through a shallow creek covered with gravel, and then went up along the winding mountain road.Xiao Shuihan told his wife that these rolling mountains are actually the flat Loess Plateau that has been cut by water for thousands of years. You can see that the highest mountains are all flat-topped, but the Loess Plateau is purely transported by wind.Therefore, it is difficult for you to find a stone in this area. You can only see gravel in the valley several hundred meters deep, which indicates that this is the bottom of the loess layer.

In the evening, Xiao Shuihan woke up his wife who was sleeping in the back row: "It's already here." Qiu Feng was helped out of the car sleepily, and lay lazily in her husband's arms.Suddenly, her eyes lit up. In the slanting sunlight of the setting sun was a thousand-year-old locust tree. The vicissitudes of time were engraved on the brown and cracked bark.The bottom of the trunk is very thick, about three arms, and it tapers upwards, straight into the sky.Compared with such a thick trunk, the crown of the tree is relatively small, but it is thick green, and it looks more vibrant in the dull earthy yellow around it.As far as the eye can see, this is the only big tree around. It is as old and vigorous as the Yellow Emperor's hand-planted cypress, but it is taller than the hand-planted cypress. Coupled with the surrounding openness, it is even more extraordinary.In the setting sun, a group of returning birds flew towards the ancient locust tree clamorously. The crown of the tree was too high and reflected the sun, so it was hard to see what kind of bird it was, but it looked like a water bird from the long legs swept back. Maybe they came from the river hundreds of miles away. fly.

Xiao Shuihan stood with his hands behind his back, silently looking up, Qiu Feng looked obsessively at her husband, then at the locust tree.It is so similar to the ancient pagoda tree at home!She could feel the sublimation of her husband's emotion.This was the first time Qiu Feng had actual contact with her husband's "previous life". It was only from this moment that Qiu Feng began to take her husband's previous life dream seriously. Under the big tree, a few idlers were listening to an old man's display, when they saw two strangers coming, and they looked curiously from afar.The old man with fluttering white beard separated from the crowd and came over to strike up a conversation: "Young man, are you from out of town?"

Qiu Feng replied with a smile: "Well, my husband brought me here specially to see the big locust tree." The old man happily boasted: "This tree is famous! According to legend, it was planted by Lao Tzu after leaving Hangu in the west. This is just a legend and has no basis. However, when the local government registers the famous tree, it asks experts to identify the annual rings. It is already 1,200 years old. What’s even more strange is that this is not actually a tree. The old tree is already dying, and the heart of the tree is empty. It happens that a new locust tree has grown from the heart of the tree, and it has been 200 years. Look at the crown of the tree, In fact, most of them are new locust trees, and if you look at the roots of the tree, you can see the trunk of the new tree from the hole of the old tree. We call it Zisun locust tree here.”

Qiu Fengyan smiled: "I saw it, but I actually knew it a long time ago." The old man was very surprised: "Have you been here?" "No. But my husband has an ancestral Chinese painting 'Tree Ancestor', which is exactly like it! You know? My husband often talks to the 'it' on the painting when he is free. I can recite some of what he said It came out—although I never quite understood it." She was actually saying these words to her husband, who had kept these questions in her mind for many years, and hoped to hear his explanation. The old man laughed and asked: "This gentleman's ancestors are from this place?" Xiao Shuihan, who had been staring at the top of the tree silently, turned his head and replied with a smile: "No, that painting was passed down to him by my grandfather's grand teacher, a biologist named Li." The old man shouted happily: "It must be Li Yuanlong, the old man, right?" Xiao Shuihan nodded with a smile.The old man was very excited, and the distant guest in front of him suddenly became very close.He enthusiastically introduced: Mr. Li is a big man from our village. He grew up under this tree.The elders said that there was still Huang Daxian on the big locust tree, and it was after he climbed the tree that the immortals dared not show their faces.Before he died, he went back to his hometown, donated money to build a middle school, and bid farewell under a big tree. He gathered a group of bare-bottomed children together, gave each of us a pen, a calculator, and said a lot of learned words . Xiao Shuihan asked with a smile: "You have a long life? Judging by his age, you don't seem to be able to see him." The old man didn't think it was disobedient, he smiled and moved his fingers and said: "I'm going to pay 90 soon. This year is Mr. Li's 170th birthday, and he passed away at the age of 50. It will be 120 years from now, so I will never see him again." .Maybe the elders often talk about these things, which makes me feel like I'm actually there." Qiu Feng asked in surprise: "Are you already 90 years old? I thought you were less than 70 years old." The old man proudly said: "Don't underestimate this small place. It is a famous hometown of longevity. Magazines often come here to interview. It was erected two years ago, and the couplet on the central column is engraved: "Chun tree, Ai Rong Jing Sui Fu Lu; Bamboo forest with thousands of leaves and petals, Hong Pu to celebrate birthday. You might as well go and have a look." He asked again: "As I said just now, Before Mr. Li Yuanlong passed away, he lost money and built Yuanlong Middle School here, do you want to visit? If so, I will show you the way.” Xiao Shuihan talked to his wife in a low voice, and said, "Then I'll be able to help you, old man, please." Deng Fei parked the Audi car far away on a hillside, and observed the movement under the tree with a telescope.He has a long-range laser bug that can translate the sound of conversations in or near the car based on the slight vibration of the door glass.He saw the group of people preparing to visit Yuanlong Middle School, and heard Qiu Feng asking her husband in a low voice, who was Li Yuanlong.Qiu Feng's cultural level is not high, and he has never heard of this very famous biologist 120 years ago.Deng Fei often saw this name when he dabbled in biological knowledge, and knew that he was the originator of using genetic surgery to cure cancer.In the microphone, the old man chattered and introduced that this is the road that Mr. Li used to go to school when he was young. Mr. Li had to walk 30 miles to go to school, and 18 cornbread pickles were enough for a week; Academicians of the Academy of Sciences, big-nosed foreigners are always respectful when they meet him... It seems that this Li Yuanlong has been deified in his remote hometown. As the crowd moved away from Xiao Shuihan's car, the voice in the microphone gradually weakened.Deng Fei opened a can of Tianfu Coke, a can of eight-treasure porridge, took out a piece of sandwich bread and ate it, and wanted to call Long Boqing.He told Long Boqing that Xiao Shuihan and his wife had arrived in a very remote mountain village in northern Shaanxi, which was the hometown of the famous biologist Li Yuanlong.It seems that his visit is aimed at Li Yuanlong. I hope that the family can find out the detailed information of Li Yuanlong as soon as possible and check it.Long Boqing arranged for someone to check in the computer, and then asked: "How is it? Have you gained anything this week?" "No, not at all. These two people seem to be the least suspicious in the world. They behave well and are open-minded. It seems to be a normal trip. I am afraid that our follow-up will be in vain." "Don't be discouraged, it's the big fish who don't take the bait easily, or it's a great achievement to prove that he is not suspected. Hey, I found the information. These days, there are many articles commemorating Mr. Li Yuanlong's 170th birthday. Everything you need is available.” He told Deng Fei that Li Yuanlong's native place is indeed the village. He was born in 1980, married in 2010, and has a son.Li Yuanlong is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has made a century-old breakthrough in cancer gene therapy, thus gaining world reputation.His contributions to biological theories are not inferior. His pioneering research in cosmology, biophysics, life fields, and bioethics was still the Bible of biology until a hundred years later.He disappeared at the age of 50 and is generally believed to be dead for unknown reasons.According to the background material, his death was rather strange, because the body has never been found.But he wrote a suicide note, and before he disappeared, he cleaned up his work and his property, so the police concluded that it was not homicide. "However, what does Xiao Shuihan have to do with him?" He laughed on the phone, "He couldn't have flown 120 years ago to murder Li Yuanlong. He was still having a tendon in his great-grandfather's thigh at that time." Deng Fei hesitated and did not answer.Of course Xiao Shuihan and Li Yuanlong are completely different, but why did he come all the way to pay homage?Why does he keep offering the ancient locust trees here in the living room?Judging from Qiu Feng's accent, even she didn't understand it.Also, Li Yuanlong and Sun Siyuan, two outstanding biological scientists, both mysteriously disappeared in their prime, and they also have some kind of connection with Xiao Shuihan. This coincidence is unavoidably disturbing. Through the binoculars, three people had returned. They opened the car door and got in the car, and the old man got in the car too.He turned on the bug and heard the three of them discussing the meal tonight. Xiao Shuihan insisted on eating the most popular local meal with the characteristics of northern Shaanxi.The old man agreed with a smile, and asked: "Dried jujube?"Buckwheat glutinous rice?Roasted corn?Orchids (a type of pasta)?Xiao Shuihan smiled and said, "Okay! This is exactly the delicacy I have been dreaming of for many years." Deng Fei was so hungry that he threw the Coke can into the garbage bag in frustration.He started the car and followed far behind.The bug heard the car in front stop, and several people got out of the car and closed the door, and then entered the house.Dusk fell quickly, and the lights were turned off there, and it was quiet.He also put the back chair flat, and fell asleep in a daze with the microphone in his mouth.In the dream, he saw Xiao Shuihan gobbling it up, shouting while eating, delicious, delicious, delicious from my hometown, I haven't eaten it for 120 years. After waking up, he also laughed at himself, why did he have such a ridiculous dream.There was a faint light outside the window, and the thick black of the ancient locust tree gradually faded, and then was quietly inlaid with a gold border.A loud rooster crowed from the village. Before Xiao Shuihan and his party showed up, Deng Fei took out his breakfast, turned on the car computer while eating, and went through the information from Li Yuanlong from home again. 27 years ago, in order to increase his biological knowledge to help solve the case, he asked Mr. Liu Shiyun to list some basic biology textbooks for him, including several works by the late Mr. Li Yuanlong.It is impossible for him to understand all these articles, but at least he understands their outline.Sometimes he feels that the thinking of scientists is actually very similar to that of scouts, and their exploration of the truth (truth) is often "unexpected" and "reasonable".For example, Li Yuanlong said in "Biological Morality": The veil of warmth between parents and offspring in biology conceals the life-and-death struggle between "Mr." and "Later".In a sense, all children are murderers who force their parents to die, and the attachment of aging parents to life is a hopeless resistance to the younger generation.He mentioned the Greek myth of Oedipus—the hero who killed the Sphinx—killing his father and marrying his mother, saying that it is actually a tortuous reflection of the struggle between the predecessors and the descendants in human psychology.He also said that the frequency of the alternation of biological generations is determined by God. There are cone pine with a life span of 5,000 years, and insects with a life span of only a few hours.But different frequencies are the best values ​​for the continuation of the race.Therefore, the humanitarianism that keeps the old man alive is actually depriving future generations of their right to life and is cruel to future generations.Human beings should not pursue meaningless longevity, but should pursue the extension of effective life span. Reading these almost cruel opinions, he often sighed suddenly. He felt that what Mr. Li said was the most reasonable thing through the ages—however, when his old father was lingering on the hospital bed, he still sought medical advice, cared for him in every possible way, and tried his best Fight for even one more day of life for the old man.So he often laughed and scolded himself as a double-faced duplicity. The sun was already high, and the Xiao couple hadn't left the village yet.Could it be that they will linger in this strange place for a few days?Deng Fei waited a little anxiously, but he didn't dare to drive the car any further, because the terrain here is open, and it's easy to be spotted by the villagers.He got out of the car and climbed to the top of the hill to look into the village.There really is an ancient feeling of peach blossoms here, maybe it was the slack season, no one went to work in the fields, a few wisps of cooking smoke curled up, vaguely saw a few children playing under the big locust tree, and a yellow dog lying leisurely in the road.Xiao Shuihan's beautiful H300 hydrogen-powered car was parked next to a small courtyard, which was the home of the white-bearded old man from yesterday. Deng Fei suddenly noticed a flash of light on the side. It turned out that there was also a car far away to the west, hidden under the cliff.Deng Fei took out the binoculars, adjusted the focus, and saw two men in black standing on the side of the car, also using binoculars to observe the village.One of them was scanning the binoculars in his hand, turned to this side inadvertently, and collided with Deng Fei in the camera lens.The two quickly retracted into the car, and soon the car drove away. Deng Fei was surprised and puzzled.There is no doubt that these two people are also here for Xiao Shuihan, which can be confirmed with Deng Fei's decades of vision.But where do they come from?Was Long Boqing worried and sent two people to follow behind him quietly?According to his understanding of Long Boqing, it is unlikely.So, who also happened to be interested in Xiao Shuihan? Deng Fei couldn't help feeling a little scared. Judging from the way the two left quickly after meeting his eyes, they must have known about Deng Fei's existence.These days they are in the dark, but Deng Fei is in the light.Maybe I am old after all, my eyesight is not good enough, and I can't find the tail behind me in time.After thinking for a while, Deng Fei wanted to call Long Boqing. "What? Someone else is following Xiao Shuihan?" Long Boqing asked in confusion. "It's not someone you sent, right?" Deng Fei said jokingly. "Nonsense. Why should I send someone? I still can't trust you, Old Deng?" He asked about the clothes, physical features, and the color and model of the car of the two, and pondered for a while, "Old Deng, according to your estimation, who are these two people?" origin?" "I just found out that I only confronted them once on the telescope, and I haven't counted them in my heart. But according to my opinion, I'm afraid most of them are in the underworld." "Mother, this is so lively," Long Boqing muttered, "Since a third party is interested, then this Mr. Xiao must have some secrets. He hides so deeply, maybe he is a big fish. Old Deng, don’t worry about these two people, I’ll send someone else to find out their details, and you can just keep an eye on our Mr. Xiao. Goodbye.” The breakfast prepared for two guests is still the authentic northern Shaanxi taste.The female guest may not be used to eating, and her compliments on the food seemed to be just polite, but Mr. Xiao really liked it, eating very devotedly and enthusiastically, with the appearance of a glutton.The host asked with a smile: "Looking at Mr. Xiao's taste, I'm afraid he has lived in northern Shaanxi."Xiao Shuihan jokingly said: "Of course, I lived in Huaiyuan Village in my previous life." The family laughed.Qiu Feng glanced at her husband quickly, only she knew that there was something else in her husband's joke. Last night they went to visit Yuanlong Middle School. This is a rather elegant school, covering a large area. One of the bungalows was turned into the Li Yuanlong Memorial Hall.The old man said that this is the former residence of Mr. Li, which has been preserved. Yuanlong Middle School was built around this house.There are a few simple pieces of furniture in the room: a table, a bed, a table.There are portraits of the Li family on the wall.Qiu Feng saw her husband standing under the portrait for a long time, and when he finally left here, there were tears in his eyes.Qiu Feng has been observing her husband's emotional agitation, and now she has a deeper understanding of her husband's "previous life". After the meal, the old man and his family saw the Xiao couple off and bid farewell to each other bustlingly. The old man's granddaughter-in-law even pulled Qiu Feng aside and whispered the matters that pregnant women should pay attention to. They had become good friends last night.The old man took out a few bags of local products and stuffed them into the car, including red dates, walnuts, Heluo noodles and so on.They were already in the car, but Xiao Shuihan seemed to be hesitating.He finally got out of the car, pulled the old man aside, and asked softly, "Does Li Yuanlong have any descendants? I didn't hear you mention it yesterday." "Yes, his great-grandson Li Shujia is still there. He used to live out of town with his grandson Xiaosheng, but later returned to the county. I heard that his grandson is not a thing." "What's the matter?" The old man sighed: "As the old saying goes, the virtue of a gentleman is beheaded for five generations. This Li Xiaosheng really insulted his ancestors! He is in business and has a lot of money in his hand, so he can't tolerate a lonely old man. Li Shujia is now 78 years old. , living alone in the county, and I heard that life is very tight. Li Shujia never said these things to the outside world, and he still cared about his grandson's face. I heard it from others." Xiao Shuihan listened intently, and asked for a long time: "Where is Li Xiaosheng's address?" "In Xi'an, what is called Chengxin Company? It really disgraces the name. The company's address is in Xiaozhai District, Xi'an." Xiao Shuihan didn't say anything about it, said goodbye to the old man and the whole family for the last time, and drove away.The car drove on Panshan Road for a long time, Qiu Feng looked back, and the towering ancient locust tree was still reflected in the rear window of the car.Xiao Shuihan did not speak for a long time, silently looking at the road ahead.Later, he turned on his cell phone and wanted to call He Yibing.Over there shouted on the phone: "Well, well, you are finally willing to make a call. Your mobile phone has changed numbers, and I have been unable to get through. Where are you now?" Xiao Shuihan said simply: "Yi Bing, I need your help." "Speak! Go ahead." Xiao Shuihan asked him to find an honest company in the Xiaozhai area of ​​Xi'an. The owner was Li Xiaosheng, or Li Hesheng, who was from Huaiyuan Village in northern Shaanxi. "After finding it, find a way to teach him a lesson, so that he can learn to take care of the elderly. His grandfather's name is Li Shujia. Hurry up and finish this matter before I return to Xi'an." "No problem, I'll beat him up myself!" He smiled, and then put away his jokes, "Don't worry, I'll handle it properly. Call me often in the future." Xiao Shuihan hung up the phone without explaining to Qiu Feng.When he was dealing with Li Yuanlong's family affairs, Qiu Feng had been watching curiously.The husband is taking care of the housework on behalf of his "previous life".He did it calmly, but Qiu Feng couldn't help feeling cold in his heart. The car drove straight to the county seat.The county seat was upgraded from a town in recent years, so the buildings in the city are relatively simple, and the entire county seat is actually just a long street.Xiao Shuihan's H300 is very eye-catching here, and many children follow behind to watch.He drove slowly, and asked passers-by to find out Li Shujia's address.This is a dilapidated residential building, and Li Shujia lives on the top floor.Knocking on the door, there was an old man with a dry sketch inside, his back was already bent, and the furnishings in the house were extremely simple, not like living in the 22nd century.Xiao Shuihan looked at everything in the house with deep eyes, while Qiu Feng's eyes followed her husband at any time - she was very curious, she wanted to figure out how her husband felt when he saw his "previous" great-grandson. Li Shujia asked hesitantly: "The two of you are..." Xiao Shuihan smiled peacefully: "Old man, we just came from Huaiyuan Village, and the villagers brought you some local products." He gave Li Shujia all the red dates and walnuts that the villagers gave him. Li Shujia was very grateful: "Thank you, thank you, all the way... the folks are still thinking about me... please sit down, please sit down." He wanted to make tea for the two of them, Qiu Feng saw that he was inconvenient to move, so he hurriedly pulled him to sit down and made tea for him.The old man tried to keep the two of them for lunch again, Xiao Shuihan said kindly: "Old man, don't worry anymore, we have a tight schedule and we have to leave soon. You are too old to live with your son and wife?" "They're all gone, there are no young or old on the road to Huangquan, the yellow leaves are falling, the green leaves are falling..." "What about the grandchildren?" The old man hesitated for a moment, then said insincerely, "They are busy, I don't want to drag them down." Xiao Shuihan looked at him steadfastly, with a hint of pity in his eyes.Qiu Feng thought, this is the way the elders look at the younger, and it seems that the husband has really entered the "role".She also realized that Xiao Shuihan used the word "old man" to refer to Li Shujia, and also to everyone older than him, including his grandmother. In retrospect, he never used the word "uncle" or "uncle". Calling it, grandma still has a knot in her heart.Xiao Shuihan frowned and said: "Don't hide it for your grandson. In fact, I know everything. Everyone criticized him, and he has repented a little. He will come to pick you up soon. Elderly, you must strengthen education for your children and grandchildren. Don't spoil him. Spoiling is harmful." them." Li Shujia blushed and murmured, really like a disappointing junior listening to the teachings of the elders.Xiao Shuihan sighed in his heart, with Li Yuanlong's strength of character, how could there be such a cowardly and incompetent junior?He said softly: "After you live in Xiaosheng's house, remember to put up the airs of the elders. He is your grandson, and it is his obligation to look after you, and it is to pay off the debts of the elders' upbringing. If he is still unworthy, he will come The court sued him! Remember?" Li Shujia blushed and nodded.Although the visitor was much younger than him, he had his own power and influence, allowing himself to accept the teachings sincerely.Xiao Shuihan didn't stay long, scanned the room again, got up and left with a sigh. Xiao Shuihan lingered around for another two days, Qiu Feng knew that he was waiting for He Yibing's result, and he would not leave until this wish was fulfilled.Seeing her husband deal with the matter of "previous life" so wholeheartedly, Qiu Feng was moved and confused at the same time—this matter was a bit "shady" no matter how you put it.Two days later, He Yibing called and said that everything was settled, so Xiao Shuihan immediately left for Li Xiaosheng's home in Xi'an. Li Xiaosheng's villa is in the southern suburbs, it is a single courtyard, a small red building is exposed in the lush forest, a small river flows around the wall, and there is a classical pavilion beside the river.When the Xiao couple arrived, Li Xiaosheng and his wife and a nanny were helping their grandfather for a walk, enjoying the joy of the family.Seeing the guests, Li Shujia said pleasantly, "It's you two!" Li Xiaosheng also came forward with a smile on his face, but Xiao Shuihan just nodded to him coldly.They sat down in the gazebo, Xiao Shuihan asked the old man if he was used to it here?Is the food delicious?How are the grandchildren?Li Shujia said happily: Yes, everything is fine, life is good, grandson and grandson-in-law treat him well.Xiao Shuihan said: "That's good." He turned his gaze to Li Xiaosheng and his wife, "It doesn't matter if the younger generation makes a mistake, just correct it. But remember not to do it again in the future, if that is the case, your grandpa will not spare you!" Qiu Feng was secretly surprised, Xiao Shuihan never said such cruel words, let alone to strangers?Of course Li Xiaosheng was very annoyed, a stranger who had never met, came to the house and scolded him like an old man scolding his son, who can bear it?But he dared not contradict him.Two days ago, a man named He Yibing found him out of the blue and brought him a big deal. The terms were so favorable that he couldn't believe it.Mr. He only put forward one condition: let him take over his grandfather and take good care of him, so that he can spend the last few years of his life happily.Li Xiaosheng lowered his face and said: "Business is business, don't talk about my family affairs!" The guy changed his face all of a sudden, and cursed heartily. He said that I have taken care of this matter, and I was entrusted by others, otherwise I would not care about your family's business.There are only two roads in front of you, one is to follow my words, and our business will continue; the other is to be stubborn, and the business will fail, but the matter is not over yet, "I swear to you, I will do my best, Let your company go bankrupt within half a year, and make your filial piety known to everyone. Crows still know how to feed back, you are not as good as a beast!" Li Xiaosheng was humiliated by the scolding, but he didn't dare to contradict him again.Leaving aside the other party's threat (he believes that guy has the strength to fulfill his threat), after all, he is also at a loss. Just letting him be called unfilial will ruin his credibility in society, and for businessmen It is said that credit is money.So, he made a decisive decision and brought his grandfather from home overnight, and changed his ways to make the old man happy in the past two days. Who is this unexpected guest today?Most likely, he is the one behind He Xiaobing.Li Xiaosheng and his wife smiled mischievously.
