There is room for rebirth at 70: a loyal dog and a rough man’s strong pet

The old man looked at them sympathetically, waved his hand, and let them pick whatever they liked. He had the final say.

Looking at this upright and kind-hearted old man with a smile, Shi Lingxi solemnly thanked him. Li Jiancheng also nodded, and the couple entered the scrap yard together.

This place is bigger than the provincial capital. I think that valuable things are usually taken in at the beginning. They had already asked the uncle through chat just now. Because the place is big enough, the things here have not been cleaned out. , so as long as they search carefully, they will definitely find something good this time.

The two of them spent half a day sorting through everything. The antiques and cultural relics they found were quietly put into the space. They also saw many items that were damaged due to careless discarding. .

The two of them used their spiritual power and did not let go of anything. As long as it could be repaired and had repair significance, Shi Lingxi collected them all.

At that time, they can hand over some cultural relics with reference value and commemorative significance to the country through legal channels, and do something within their ability for the country.

When we came out, it was getting dark, and the lights in the houses in the distance were already lit up. The old man looked at the few things they were holding, with an expression that was hard to explain on his face.

These two children are so good-looking, but they turn out to be stupid. No wonder life is so difficult for them!

There are so many things in there. In the past few years, a batch would be delivered every now and then. Why don't you know how to tumble down? Although the thing in my hand is not bad, an old piece of furniture is only worth a few dollars.

Forget it, don’t ask them for money anymore, just let them take it.

Seeing the old man's pitiful eyes, Shi Lingxi and Li Jiancheng felt a little embarrassed. The old man really believed that they found these two things in a long time!

Li Jiancheng, who felt a little ashamed, left five yuan behind, saying he wanted to buy some wine for his uncle.

Carrying the golden nanmu desk and tying the matching stool to the table, the couple hurried away.

The old man didn't even look inside. People were always coming here to buy and exchange things during this period, and it was a mess. He was old and it would be bad if he tripped.

Anyway, the intention was to let him guard the door here. As for sorting things, he would do it in the past few years, but from this year he is too lazy to spend that time.

Because they were thrown around carelessly when they were delivered, and the conditions here were not that good, many things were damaged due to improper storage, which made him feel distressed.

He stumbled and locked the door. In the dim light, he limped home with his hands behind his back.

Shi Lingxi and Li Jiancheng carried their things for a while, because today was the first day of the Lunar New Year and the weather was very cold, so no one was walking around on the street.

The two people walked to a dark alley in tacit understanding and entered the space directly.

There was no time to cook, so I quickly sorted things and put them away. It took me nearly two hours to finish them.

Seeing his wife smiling from ear to ear, Li Jiancheng scraped her pretty nose lovingly, and went to the kitchen with a loud laugh amidst her cooing.

He has to cook something that his wife likes to eat and reward her. This is his treasure and must be treated well.

The couple had a clear division of labor. Seeing Li Jiancheng go to the kitchen, Shi Lingxi went straight to the fifth floor to find her two precious children. She hadn't seen them for a long time, and she didn't know if the two little ones missed her.

In the room, An An was sleeping in Zi Tong's arms. Most of a person's infancy is spent in sleep.

Ning Ning was lying on the sofa, watching the animated version of Journey to the West with great interest. She turned around when she heard the door knock.

"Mom, you're back." Seeing Shi Lingxi appear, the little girl shouted happily.

"I'm back, baby girl, is the cartoon good?" Shi Lingxi walked in while talking to her daughter.

"They look good. Sun Monkey is so awesome. Second senior brother knows how to eat them every day. Ning Ning likes to watch them."

Speaking of her favorite cartoon, the little girl immediately became excited.

"Ning Ning, my mother told you that you should not be too close to the TV, but should be farther away. Stop watching after a while, rest for a while, and then continue watching. If you keep watching, your eyes will gradually lose sight. Okay, do you understand?"

Shi Lingxi took the opportunity to start instilling the idea of ​​protecting his eyes.

"Yes, yes, yes, Ning Ning knows, and she won't keep watching. Mom, don't worry, Ning Ning is a good child of her mother."

Hearing her mother's instructions, the little girl nodded repeatedly, which made Shi Lingxi smile and narrow her eyes.

After instructing her little cotton-padded jacket, she hurriedly went to the bedroom to see her son. When she saw that the little fox had learned how to hold a child after turning into a human form, Shi Lingxi couldn't help but secretly marveled. This little guy is so smart. You can tell by looking at it. This IQ is really quite evil.

Zi Tong watched his master slowly approaching with tears in his eyes. He was so excited that he wanted to shout, "Oh my god, the master is finally back. If it were a little later, his hands would probably be useless."

Seeing the little fox's expression, Shi Lingxi looked at him a few more times in surprise, and couldn't help but ask: "Zitong, what's wrong with you? Why do you have such an expression?"

"Master, please take the little master over first. My arm is numb." The little fox quickly urged, not wanting to answer Shi Lingxi's question.

Shi Lingxi couldn't help but suddenly realized, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull up.

She just said, how come Zi Tong's face is so ugly? It turns out that An An's arm was numbed by the pressure.

He quickly stepped forward to pick up his son, smiled and asked Zi Tong to rest for a while, and Shi Lingxi also lay down on the bed to rest for a while.

……

After dinner, Shi Lingxi quickly took a shower and went to bed early.

She was exhausted today. She didn't sleep well in the past two nights, and she was running around during the day. Even though her physique was already different from ordinary people, she still felt tired.

A good night's dream.

The next day was another day as usual.

The third day was another repeating day.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, they decided to go to the city center to have a look, because they had already visited all the scrapyards on the evening of the third day of the lunar month, and next they planned to buy a house.

The couple wandered aimlessly around the magnificent buildings in a certain sea, whispering about the advantages and disadvantages of these houses.

In the past few days, they have found out clearly that there are several houses in this area that want to sell, and the two of them plan to come over first to take a look.

Most of the houses here are now empty and unoccupied. In recent years, people have been frightened and have chosen to live a low-key and ordinary life for fear of being caught doing something wrong.

Therefore, people would rather go to some small residential houses and live with a large family together than live in these high-rise compounds for fear of being accused of being capitalist and seeking comfort.

After wandering around for a day, they still couldn't find the owners of these houses. The two of them were discouraged. It seemed that they couldn't do it without anyone they knew.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the two of them decided to walk back and go to a more remote place to enter the space.

Suddenly, Shi Lingxi was attracted by an old man on the roadside. He was holding his chest, leaning against a tree with a pale face, breathing hard.

She could tell at a glance that the old man was sick. Judging from the position of his hands and the difficulty in breathing, it was probably a heart disease. This disease is very dangerous when it occurs. If he is not treated in time, his life will be in danger.

She didn't intend to do anything in this unfamiliar place, but she just couldn't do it to just watch a person fend for himself here.

She looked at the old man carefully and saw that his face was getting more and more ugly, and his face was already covered with a layer of gray air. She knew that if he didn't get treatment quickly, this man would be finished!

In the blink of an eye, Shi Lingxi had many thoughts in her mind. In the end, she could not overcome her conscience and decided to save people.

The medicinal materials in the space have been harvested several times. I thought that ginseng has very good medicinal value and is often used as a tonic. It has the functions of regulating the central nervous system, nourishing qi and blood, enhancing immunity, and improving heart function.

Now it happened to be able to cure the old man's heart disease, so that no one would doubt her spiritual spring, so he took out a ginseng that was more than 100 years old and pulled off a small section of the root.

He then took out a bamboo tube filled with spiritual spring water, and first gave the old man a few sips of water to allow his body to slowly recover. Before the old man could speak, he quickly put the ginseng tendrils into his mouth.

Slowly, the old man regained consciousness and felt the bitterness mixed with the slight aroma in his mouth. He felt it with his tongue. The well-informed old man knew that the thing in his mouth was ginseng and that he was being treated. People were saved.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was being supported by a young man, and a very beautiful girl stared at him, not knowing what she meant.

"Uncle, you finally woke up. Are you still feeling uncomfortable? I just gave you some ginseng. Do you feel better?"

After listening to Shi Lingxi's words, the old man smiled and shook his head, and said softly: "It's much better now. Thank you. Girl, where do you live? I will definitely come to say thank you someday."

Shi Lingxi waved her hands repeatedly and said that this was what she should do. You're welcome. If it were anyone else, they would help.

According to the old man, he is the landlord here, but he does not live here and only comes to visit every now and then.

Today, because it was his deceased wife's birthday, he wanted to visit the place where his deceased wife had grown up and spend some time with her.

He is getting old and his health is getting worse day by day. At this time next year, I don’t know if he will be able to come here again.

After saying that, the old man became silent, his eyes filled with longing and sadness.

After a long time, he smiled mockingly and said, "Look at me, why are I telling you this? I don't have to make you unhappy.

I haven't asked yet, where are you two going?What's the matter with coming here? "

Listening to the old man's concerned words, Shi Lingxi suddenly had an idea and tentatively revealed his purpose of coming here.

After listening to what they said, the old man suddenly fell silent. He was thinking about whether his house should be sold.

This was his wife's original dowry, the place where she grew up. When her wife left early, this was his only thought.

However, thinking about his frail body, he could no longer take care of the yard. One day, he might have to go find his deceased wife. Finding a suitable owner for the house was the right thing to do.

Thinking of this, the old man made a decision instantly.

He raised his head, looked at Shi Lingxi and Li Jiancheng, and said solemnly: "Since you are here to buy a house, why don't you come back with me and have a look, I would be willing to sell the house to you.

However, I hope you can promise me that you can temporarily keep the house as it is during my lifetime, because this is my promise to my wife, and you can change it however you want in the future. "

The couple looked at each other and walked back together with the old man.

The house is located next to the b sea with beautiful scenery. In those days, this was also a place that only rich or noble people could afford to live.

When you open the courtyard door, you will see a screen wall in front of you. Turn around and you will see a three-entry courtyard with rockeries, flowing water, and various rare flowers and trees.

Because the sky had darkened now, they could only see a rough outline, and everything else had been hidden in the darkness.

After leading them around, the old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said breathlessly: "If you are satisfied, I am willing to sell this yard to you.

Firstly, it is to repay your life-saving grace, and secondly, it is because of the deep love between you and your husband. My wife and I also had a very good relationship back then.

Therefore, I am willing to sell him to you, a destined person, at a low price. "

After listening to the old man's words, Li Jiancheng and Shi Lingxi quickly expressed their gratitude to the old man. The old man said with a smile: "Let's not thank you anymore. It is destined to meet you and your wife today. If you don't dislike it, , we will walk around as relatives from now on."

Seeing that the young couple readily agreed, the old man was very happy. He had no children in his life, and his wife passed away early, which made him a bit withdrawn.

Now, after meeting these two young men, the old man was so happy that he decided to charge them a symbolic 500 yuan and sell the yard, which was worth several thousand yuan, half to them.

When Shi Lingxi heard that the price was such a low price, he couldn't help but be stunned. Seeing the disbelief in the young couple's eyes, the old man laughed.

"You don't need to look like this. Since I said it, I will only sell it for 500 yuan. I don't want a penny more or a penny less."

The old man's categorical words made Shi Lingxi not sure how to answer the question.

Seeing that the two of them were not people who liked petty gains, the old man continued slowly: "I am only giving in so that I can often go to your house to have food in the future. Don't be polite to me. From now on, in one month I want to go to your house to have three meals and experience the feeling of enjoying family happiness.
