Rebirth 1983: Starting from taking back the family property

Lu Jiaxin's trip was not boring at all. During the day, I read a book or chat with the old man on the lower bunk. The old man participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, was injured and returned to his hometown's machinery factory. Now that he is retired, because Lao Han has bad legs, he went to Yangcheng to spend the winter at his son's request.

After the old man got off the car, he ran out of the window and reluctantly said to Lu Jiaxin: Xiao Lu, you must come to me when you get to Yangcheng.

Lu Jiaxin stuck her head out and said with a smile on her face: Grandpa Chen, don't worry, I will definitely visit you when I get to Yangcheng.

Uncle Chen was so frightened that he quickly said: This is very dangerous. Don't do it again next time.

Okay, I'll listen to you.

As the train started moving, Uncle Chen slowly turned into a dot and finally disappeared. Only then did Lu Jiaxin climb back onto the upper bunk.

At this time, there were only two of them left in the small room, and everyone else got off the train. Gu Wenfeng asked: Are you really going to see him when you go to Yangcheng?

It depends on the situation. If you have time, come and visit. If you don't have time, forget it.

It was evening when they arrived in Pengcheng. After getting off the train, she looked at the simple station and couldn't help but sigh again at the rapid development of this city. Who could have imagined that a small town would become an international metropolis as famous as the Magic City of Forty-Nine City in more than 20 years.

Gu Wenfeng saw that she was standing still with an incomprehensible expression, and without asking her what she was thinking, he reminded her directly: It's getting dark, we have to find a place to live.

After leaving the train station, Lu Jiaxin saw an old man and a child sitting under a tree enjoying the shade on the roadside. She thought that the first thing she would do when she made money was to buy a camera. She wants to take pictures of everything she sees. Thirty or forty years later, these photos will be precious.

There were no high-rise buildings at this time, and there were arcades on both sides of the streets. It rains frequently here all year round, and the arcade with eaves can provide good shelter from the rain. Although it is not a prosperous place, after walking for a while, you can see advertisements on the street. You can see that this place has a new atmosphere.

Gu Wenfeng asked the old man who was sitting under the eaves enjoying the cool air: Uncle, where is the guest house?

The old man looked at him and said nothing.

Lu Jiaxin stepped forward and asked for directions in Cantonese. The old man pointed to the right with a smile and said that there was a fork ahead, and then he turned left and there was a guest house not far away.

Gu Wenfeng looked at her in surprise and asked on the way to the guest house: When did you learn to speak Cantonese?

Lu Jiaxin didn't have to make excuses: My aunt was married in Yangcheng. I lived in her house twice when I was a child and learned from my cousins.

Children have very strong learning abilities. After staying in Yangcheng for two summer vacations, I can speak a lot of Cantonese. However, she learns things quickly and forgets them quickly, so she no longer has to hide herself from others and find someone to learn from.

Your aunt is in Yangcheng?

Lu Jiaxin hummed and said, My uncle is from Pengcheng. He changed his job and moved to Yangcheng, and my aunt followed him here. But I don't know what happened seven years ago, and the two families stopped communicating.

It was her father who asked someone to introduce her, so that her aunt Lu Chunhua could marry her uncle Duan Jiefang, and the two families were very close. But something bad happened later, and Mother Lu and Aunt Lu fell out. I asked Mother Lu about this, but she didn't explain it. She just said that she was not a relative.

The two of them walked for about ten minutes and arrived at the guest house. In fact, there is already a hotel here. It's just that the hotel is expensive, and Lu Jiaxin thinks it's not hygienic and safe. Now and in the future, Pengcheng is a mixed bag of good and bad, and the public security is not very good, so the guest house is the most cost-effective.

The waiter at the guest house was very nice. After reading the letter of introduction, he opened two rooms for them. After taking the keys, the two of them picked up their luggage and went upstairs.

Entering the room, I found that it was a standard room with two single beds covered with white sheets and quilts. There was a table and a chair in the room. There was a hot water bottle and a washbasin cup on the table. The house is very clean, but there is a big problem, there is no separate bathroom. After giving the canvas bag to Gu Wenfeng, Lu Jiaxin took the washbasin and clothes to the public bathroom.

After taking a bath, Lu Jiaxin was also hungry, so she went out to have dinner. Seafood was the first choice here. Lu Jiaxin ordered stir-fried prawns, steamed yellow croaker, garlic oysters and scallops and winter melon soup.

The yellow croaker ordered was nearly two pounds. After it was served, Lu Jiaxin picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth. Because it is wild and freshly killed, the meat is tender and delicious.

Gu Wenfeng knew from her cheerful expression that she liked seafood, but when he was about to eat, Lu Jiaxin sighed. He asked in confusion: What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this fish?

Lu Jiaxin put down her chopsticks, scooped the soup into a bowl, and said, The fish is delicious. I just thought of something and was a little confused.

Many fish species are on the verge of extinction due to environmental changes and overfishing. Forget it. Forty years later, those beasts from the island country are still discharging nuclear sewage into the sea. The harm to the sea is immeasurable.

Gu Wenfeng thought she was remembering the things that Ding Jing had plotted against her, so he comforted her: Don't think about the past, you have to look forward.

Lu Jiaxin knew that he had misunderstood, but did not explain: We have to eat quickly. It won't taste so good when it's cold.

Although the seafood is delicious, it tastes much worse when it is cold. Nowadays, sea resources are abundant and sea water is not polluted. When she makes money, she takes turns eating top-quality seafood such as king crab, bluefin tuna, and Bellon oysters.

Gu Wenfeng came to Pengcheng once and ate seafood, but he didn't think it tasted that good. And because Lu Jiaxin didn't eat much, he was reluctant to waste food, and finally he was full. Afraid that Lu Jiaxin would laugh at him, he couldn't bear to show it even though he was feeling a little uncomfortable.

Lu Jiaxin actually found out that he had eaten too much, but she just pretended not to know. On the way back, she took the initiative to talk about her plan: Brother Gu, let's find an expert to appraise the painting first, get the appraisal certificate, and then find a buyer.

There is no need to ask for help, you can just pay money to get information from experts. It's just that her age is a shortcoming, and Gu Wenfeng has to handle this matter.

Gu Wenfeng didn't shirk, Okay, I'll go tomorrow.

During the Chinese New Year, I wear new clothes and shoes. Even if I don’t have money, I still want to make some clothes from a piece of cloth. Lu Jiaxin thought that she must convert the paintings into money as soon as possible, and then find a processing factory to produce winter shoes and ship them back. If you sell it before the year, you will definitely make a profit.

Seeing the guest house from a distance, Gu Wenfeng suddenly asked: Miss Lu, how much do you plan to sell this painting for?

The price of a famous calligraphy and painting in the ancient capital is between 10,000 and 20,000, and it will definitely be more than that here in Pengcheng. We'll tell you how much it will sell for later! Lu Jiaxin said. Famous calligraphy and paintings have always been loved by those who like arty elegance, and can be sold at high prices. In view of the market situation in the mainland, her psychological price is 50,000, 50,000 Chinese dollars.

Pengcheng refers to Shenzhen, and Yangcheng refers to Guangzhou.
