    Chapter 166

    The man who came out was about 60 years old. He was slender and neatly dressed. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and his temples were already gray. Two of them had neatly trimmed mustaches. Elegant, if you change into a long green shirt, you will be the image of a literary master.

    The other party was even more frightened than Su Xiaoxiao and Hancheng. After a long time of recognition, his lips trembled, and he slowly asked, "Han, Hancheng? You are, are you Hancheng?"

    Hancheng took a deep breath, closed his eyes forcefully, and called out a title he hadn't called in more than 20 years: "Uncle."

    Su Xiaoxiao looked at Hancheng in astonishment, uncle? Back then, a shovel killed my aunt and uncle who went overseas by mistake?

    The "uncle" in Su Xiaoxiao's imagination is a bandit who wants to be self-centered and not make any allowances for the needs of a relative. He should be a bandit, not such a refined and thin scholar, Su Xiaoxiao really It's hard to imagine how crazy he was for gold.

    Han Songbai was so timid and tearful that he wanted to go up and shake his nephew's hand, but he didn't dare. Finally, he clenched his fists and asked, "Hancheng, you, your parents, how are they?"

    Hancheng shook his head: "They are all gone. They fell on the battlefield more than ten years ago."

    Hancheng's parents were buried in the martyrs' cemetery in Zhoucheng. They left a suicide note on their deathbed. His father said that when a person dies, the lights go out, and all dust returns to dust. Go to worship, let alone worry about them, don't disturb their lives, just live your own life.

    Hancheng understands the good intentions of his parents and never deliberately "interrupts" them. For Hancheng, they always live in his heart and never leave.

    In the face of the only elder, Hancheng's mood is complicated. It is not up to him to decide whether the elders are right or wrong. Although it is his father's personal choice, if it is not because of such an incident, his father will not will be brooding all life, not thinking about dying in battle.

    The old man with a little vicissitudes in front of him is already Hancheng's only blood-related elder in this world. Hancheng can't and will not treat him badly.

    Han Songbai's pupils dilated, and he took two steps back to hold on to the door frame to stand firm.

    Hancheng wanted to stretch out his hand to help him, but after reaching out, he slowly retracted it.

    Han Songbai closes the eyes, letting the old tears flow freely: "Retribution, retribution, it's all retribution, why isn't it on me? Why? Wooooooooooo..."

    Snowflakes fell one by one, and passersby couldn't help but stop to see what happened.

    Su Xiaoxiao pinched the back of Hancheng's hand: "Hancheng, why don't you go in and talk about it."

    Hancheng finally stepped forward to help Han Songbai and walked into the old house where he returned for the first time in more than 20 years.

    Stepping into the door is the familiar shadow wall. The traces of his naughty strokes when he was a child are still there. The bamboo planted by the dry landscape on the right side of the aisle has long since withered, leaving only the withered and yellow bamboo stems. The rockery pool in the front yard has long since dried up. When Hancheng was a child, he liked to feed the koi that swam around in the rockery pond. Twenty years in the long river of time are but a drop in the ocean, but he is already one in four of a long-lived person. It's no longer home.

    Su Xiaoxiao thought Zhuzi's courtyard was big enough, but he didn't expect Han's old house to be bigger. The grandeur of this house is at least twice as large as Zhang's courtyard from the yard alone, and the Chaoshou Corridor is also more than twice as wide. Passing through the shadow wall and past the second entrance is a super-large rockery pool. You also need to cross a wind and rain bridge to get to the main courtyard. There are water pavilions at both ends. If the rockery pond is filled with water and a pond of koi is raised, it can be used as a paid attraction.

    Su Xiaoxiao can already imagine how brilliant the Han family would have been in its heyday. If there was no accident, both grandparents, father and mother are still alive, and Hancheng grew up in this house on duty, and now it should be four or nine. The most honorable young master in the city.

    Han Songbai should be back soon. It can be seen that the main room has been cleaned up a little, but the dusty old objects seem to have not been moved. Even the ancient wall clock on the wall is still covered with a thick layer of dust.

    Hancheng helped Han Songbai to sit down, looked around, saw that he was the only one, and asked, "Where are Big Aunt and Brother Xu?"

    Speaking of this, Han Songbai is even more sad: "Five years ago, all the car accidents left, and I was left alone. During this period, I kept applying to return to China. In the past few years, the international relations were tense, and it was not until a few days ago that I was approved to come back. , but I didn't expect even your parents..."

    Hancheng also absolutely didn't expect it to be like this. In fact, he rarely thinks of his uncle's family over the years, especially after marrying Su Xiaoxiao, the family life is happy and happy, and the pain caused by the original family has unknowingly disappeared. It has been smoothed out a little bit, and now although I am sighed, it will not be so sad anymore.

    Hancheng asked again, "What's your plan for coming back this time, will you not be leaving for a long stay?"

    Han Songbai shook his head: "I don't know, I just wanted to meet your parents, but now... Hancheng, have you ever hated your uncle?"

    Hancheng shook his head: "I don't dare to discuss the matter between the elders, and it has been twenty years, so it doesn't matter anymore."

    Han Songbai wiped his face and nodded: "Yeah, it's been 20 years, you were still half-sized when I left, and it was already... who is this?" Han Songbai only noticed Su Xiaoxiao now.

    Hancheng put his arms around Su Xiaoxiao: "My love, Su Xiaoxiao."

    Su Xiaoxiao smiled at the old man: "Hello, uncle, I'm Su Xiaoxiao."

    Han Songbai looked at her carefully, and nodded again and again: "Okay."

    Thinking of something, Han Songbai took out a handkerchief in his arms and opened it in the palm of his hand, revealing a glittering and translucent emerald bracelet: "This is a bracelet handed down from our ancestors, originally passed down to Hancheng's Big Aunt, now I give it to you."

    Su Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes twice, but didn't dare to pick it up. The so-called gold is valuable and jadeite is priceless. There are no fakes these days. Plus, it was handed down from ancestors. Even if Su Xiaoxiao doesn't know how to do it, she can see that this is a glass type of imperial green. If the bracelet is auctioned in later generations, it will be worth at least 100 million units.

    Su Xiaoxiao was confused, what kind of family did she marry into? She obviously just found a second-married military doctor who looks like her aesthetics just to not worry about food and drink. Now, there will be a courtyard house, gold buried under it, and the uncle's shot will be the emperor's green bracelet. How deep is the heritage of the Hancheng family? ? Shouldn't there be a bunch of priceless calligraphy and painting antiques?

    Seeing her unwilling to take it, Han Songbai continued to fool her and said, "This thing looks good, it's not worth much, it's just that the ancestors said to keep a family token from generation to generation, you are Hancheng's wife, this thing naturally deserves It will be handed over to you for safekeeping and passed on to your next generation in the future."

    Su Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes, if she was not from the 21st century, or Su Xiaoxiao, who had never seen much of the world in Sujia Village, would have believed it. He said that the priceless treasure was "it's worth nothing to look good at". A family token of money".

    Hancheng took it for Su Xiaoxiao and put it on her hand: "Uncle, take it for you, and leave it for the little glutinous rice ball in the future."

    Ying's lubricating and fine jadeite was cold, and Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly squeezed it tightly. This thing will also be worth a set of courtyard houses in the future. If she accidentally fell, she would not cry.

    "Small glutinous rice ball?" Han Songbai asked. "Is it your child? By the way, how many children do you have?"

    Su Xiaoxiao said: "We have four children, three boys and one girl, and the youngest two are twins."

    Han Songbai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news: "That's good, that's good."

    When he saw that Hancheng and Su Xiaoxiao didn't bring their children, he thought that they didn't have children or planned to have children. Some couples in foreign countries didn't want children even in their thirties or forties, and said they wanted to live a two-person world.

    There is nothing to be afraid of when a person is old, but he is afraid that the family will become a sinner through the ages, and he has no face to go down to meet his ancestors, although he is already a sinner of the family, and he has no face to see anyone.

    "I don't think it looks like someone has lived here. Where have you lived all these years? Are you living in the capital or where?" Han Songbai asked again.

    "I will stay in the capital in the future," Hancheng said.

    When Han Songbai heard this, he became more energetic: "Then, when will you move back?"

    Hancheng shook his head and said euphemistically: "There has been no one here for more than 20 years. We are living in Uncle Zhang's house now, and Xiaoxiao was admitted to Capital University. We have asked Uncle Zhang to help us find a house near Capital University, and try our best to do it before school starts. Move in so that you can go to school later."

    Hancheng is very happy to see his elders. He will try his best to take care of him in the future, but he does not plan to get too close to him or live with him.

    Hancheng was divided into home when he was a kid. Hancheng's parents were in the military area most of the time. It is the three brothers and sisters that have property rights. If something happens in the future, it must be sold, and the brothers and sisters can only sign and agree.

    Hancheng was also brought a lot when he was a child, so he first saw Su Xiaoxiao with Little Bao in Sujia Village for the first time in Sujia Village. Xiaoxiao's relationship often reminds him of his aunt. In addition to the New Year's festivals, the uncle's family usually has their own lives. Later, after Hancheng greater, he went to the military area with his parents. The gap of the year was still separated from the middle, letting Hancheng take him around him like his parents. He asked himself that he could not do it and would not do it.

    HAN Songbai's face was visible to the naked eye. He thought that Hancheng would move back to live, but he heard Su Xiaoxiao who was admitted to the Capital University and he still looked at Su Xiaoxiao in surprise.

    Soon after he returned, Muddle Headed has not been lingering in foreign news, nor does he contact domestic relatives and friends. He does not know what happened in the country, let alone the suspension and recovery of the college entrance examination.

    Su Xiaoxiao said, "Uncle may not know the situation in the country as soon as he comes back."

    Su Xiaoxiao briefly explained the major events that have occurred in the past ten years, and finally said: "That's why I postponed the college entrance examination this year before I took it again. There should be many students of my age on college campuses this year. "

    Han Songbai sighed: "So many things have happened over the years, and we have lost our generations for generations. One grass and one wood are all, otherwise it may not be able to keep it. "

    It turns out that this ancestral house has such a history, no wonder it contains such a strong sense of history.

    Su Xiaoxiao thought that it would be good for the uncle to live there. Each of the courtyard houses with clear property rights at the cultural relic level is an orphan, and there is only one less when it is sold. It is a pity that the gold buried underneath may not be dug out.

    Hancheng said, "Uncle, you live here with peace of mind, we come back to see you when we have time." Hancheng also felt that since someone lives, the house does not need to deal with it. Is there a secret that is not known in the door of a historical mansion?

    After all, the ancestral house is a ancestral house, and it is a last resort. No one will change the business. After all, it will be passed on to the children in the future. As his father said, all the past things should be returned to the earth. It should be Vanish Like Smoke in Thin Air, and he does not need to be too hearty.

    Han Songbai's lips creened a bit. He really had no face to let Hancheng stay with him to live here for his elderly. Hancheng did not know that he returned to the capital without knowing that he returned. Clear.

    In the past, Han Songbai had no face to mention: "Can I see the children?" This is one of his few wishes and wants to see the grandson of their Han family.

    Su Xiaoxiao said: "Naturally, you are their uncle, when you want to see it, but they went out to play with Zhang Shu's family today. Tomorrow, we will take them to meet Uncle tomorrow."

    Han Songbai finally showed today's first smile.

    When the topic was talking about the child, Su Xiaoxiao went down and accompanied the old man to talk about a lot of interesting things when he was a kid. He also said which serialization on the Daily was written by a few cubs, so that he could buy newspapers to see and so on.

    There are too many children's fun. When you talk about it, you will be end. just talked about it for one morning. SU XIAOXIAO stopped the topic when saw the time.

    "Uncle, I and Hancheng and I have something to do. Today, this is the case, tomorrow we will bring your children to disturb you."

    Han Songbai really likes this nephew, gentle and polite, and has a good tutor. He respects and takes into account the feelings of the elderly. Listening to her words is the Like Cleansing Through A Spring Breeze. what.

    Han Songbai nodded: "The family does not need to say that there is no disturbing such polite words, here is also your home, welcome you to come back at any time."

    Su Xiaoxiao did not pick up. They did not plan to return to live. Hancheng pulled up Su Xiaoxiao, and North Han Songbai raised his head. Su Xiaoxiao smiled and turned to see the old man and left.

    Han Songbai looked at their backs, and his thin body looked very lonely.

    On the way back, the snow had stopped, wrapped in silver in silver, and the white evil was beautiful.

    "Are you okay?" Su Xiaoxiao asked Hancheng.

    Hancheng nodded: "Time can really dilute everything, far from being uncomfortable as I think, and even staying in it."

    If you do n’t touch it, you will never know that it has healed. When you touch it, you may find that it has already knotted it, and it ’s okay.

    Su Xiaoxiao asked in surprise: "Do you want to go back to live?"

    Hancheng shook his head: "This is not the meaning. At least when the uncle still lives inside, we can't go back to live."

    Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "I also think that although the uncle is not an outsider, it is indeed unfamiliar. Our family is accustomed to living, and many people will be inconvenient.

    If Su Xiaoxiao remembers correctly, the peak of international gold prices should be from the beginning to the early 1980s. As for which year, she really doesn't remember. Anyway If you want to return to this peak, it seems that it will take more than ten or twenty years, and commercial housing will begin in the middle and late 1980s. If you can dig out a part of the real estate now, you do n’t have to worry about it in a few life.

    Not to mention that Uncle remembers gold, and even she started to remember gold, that is gold, who would dislike it? Since don't remember which year fall, it is not good to get realizing from 80?

    Hancheng thought about it and said, "If you don't buy the courtyard, it seems useless to dig it out now. The one in our hands is enough to host a few small houses, but the recent price of gold is a bit outrageous. It may not be valuable now, and it is still good to monetize. "

    When Su Xiaoxiao saw no one, he buckled Han Cheng's neck and pulled his head down, and he had a heavy relative on his lips: "Hancheng, you are really smart, you have seen the smartest person! "

    Su Xiaoxiao has crossed it. know how much, but Hancheng is a real indigenous person. It is rare to have such a advanced awareness.

    On the streets and alleys, Su Xiaoxiao was the first time he kissed him, and Hancheng was kissed by her.

    Su Xiaoxiao went on to say, "I think gold is still being dug out and it is best to realize it. It is also possible to divide it with the uncle. It is also a wish to fulfill his wish."

    Hancheng didn't think so: "He is probably unwilling to see gold now." Human wealth and death birds were dying. Although they were unintentional, they died indirectly, and now let him see gold and don't know what mood it is.

    Su Xiaoxiao shook his head and said, "Jieling must be a bell, maybe he is a heart disease. Let's find a chance to discuss with him and talk about it.

    If she remember correctly, there are still a few years from the peak of the gold price, and it is not too late to dig slowly.
