Yunhai City is not far from City C, and it takes two hours to get there by highway.

In the past, Chu Huai often took time to visit Dean Jiang. He knew the way to the old man's house very well, it was next to their former orphanage.

The location is very remote, and the facilities in the community are old, but the old man likes it, because the water, electricity and property management are cheap, and there is a large wholesale vegetable market next to it, and you can pick up vegetables for free when you go early in the morning, which can save you money.

However, as far as Chu Huai knew, the old man's bank account must not be underestimated, but he was reluctant to use it...

So when he arrived at the place, he made a special trip to the vegetable market, bought a lot of meat and vegetables and brought them up together.

It is more practical to expect the old man to be generous than to expect the pig to climb the tree.

After accurately finding the neighborhood where Dean Jiang was located, Chu Huai walked through the rusty iron gate and entered the corridor on the first floor with the expectant and excited Yu Ke, and knocked on the door.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps inside, an energetic little old man soon opened the door.

As always, he was wearing the old T-shirt that he bought from a street stall many years ago, and he was holding a cold steamed bun with chili sauce for lunch.

Since the orphanage closed and retired, there are not many people who still contact Dean Jiang. Dean Jiang is very familiar with Chu Huai who often visits him.

"It's Chu Huai. You guys are willing to come and have a look at me, old man. Tell me how long it's been since you called me? When you come here, you'll pick lunch and come here for dinner. You guys can make me poor." It's..."

But the old man's stingy problem can't be changed no matter what, he is happy for him to come, but at the same time scolds him for picking lunch for lunch, nagging so much that no wonder the neighbors don't want to see him.

But Chu Huai knew that Dean Jiang had this problem, and it became a habit to be stingy and treat everyone like this.

He wasn't angry either, and while passing the food on his hand, he told the old man's lies expressionlessly.

"Dean, I remember that you had an old house demolished and compensated more than 500 million yuan the year before last..."

"Bah, bah, whoever said you're blind! Old man, if I have 500 million demolition funds, I still live in such a crappy place? Am I the kind of person who sits on a golden mountain and calls poor?!"

Speaking of money, Dean Jiang became very excited.

Picking things up with one hand, while looking around nervously to refute, resolutely denying that he is rich.

Chu Huai didn't speak, he didn't bother to argue, he was too clear about the old man's character.

But Yu Ke behind, dragging a compass in one hand and making a strange gesture with the other, poked his head out like a little Taoist priest, and said to Dean Jiang with a sweet smile:

"Grandpa Jiang, there is really gold under your house. It's located under the floor in the east corner. This house belongs to gold, which attracts wealth..."

"What kind of gold and what kind of floor attracts wealth! Nonsense!"

Hearing Yu Ke's voice, Dean Jiang noticed that there was another strange boy.

Just now, all his attention was on Chu Huai, Yu Ke was thin and hiding behind, and the corridor was dimly lit, so he really didn't see it.

The boy was handsome and handsome, but his words were astonishing. How did the other party know that he dug a hole under the floor of the house to preserve the value of gold? !

Dean Jiang stared warily, "Who are you?"

"My name is Yu Ke, and I'm Chu Huaijun's fiancé. Hello, Grandpa Jiang."

Yu Ke put his compass in his bag and walked out, took Chu Huai's arm affectionately, introduced himself politely with his chest raised and his head raised.

"..."

Dean Jiang paused, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and looked up and down again.

He seemed to be confirming whether he was old and dim-sighted, and he didn't see the neutral style popular among young people, so he made a mistake.

Yu Ke was very keen and took the initiative to explain, with a sweet smile and happiness in his eyes.

"Grandpa Jiang, you read that right, I'm a boy, and boys can marry too..."

"!"

Dean Jiang covered his heart and almost fell to the ground.

"Dean, let's talk about this topic later. Let's go into the room..."

Chu Huai didn't deny or admit it, he didn't want to worry about this issue anymore, and calmly helped the frightened old man into the house.

For the elderly who have survived from the 67s, marriage between a man and a man is indeed a terrifying thing, and the stingy old dean is no exception.

However, there is nothing wrong with letting the old man get in touch with the new world beforehand. After the end of the world, it is not just the topic of men being together that is shocking the world.

Therefore, Chu Huai didn't bother to explain too much about his relationship with Yu Ke, so he simply brought it into the room.

Then he turned the topic to the matter of moving, which was the business of his visit today.

However, they talked about moving easily, but to Dean Jiang, it was not a casual matter.

Although this old house is dilapidated and old, I have lived in it for many years. The old man misses the old days and is reluctant to move when he says he wants to.

Moreover, President Jiang spent half of his life and energy in the orphanage. For this reason, he didn't even marry a wife and had no children.

Although he is retired now and the orphanage is closed, this place is what he misses.

"Don't move, why do I want to move when I live well here? It's quiet and quiet, and the price is cheap. It's okay. I go to the green belt to open a vegetable field and no one cares about it. Why live in the city and go to C City, not used to not used to..."

Dean Jiang has a stubborn temper. When he asked him to move, he immediately forgot the fright he had just received, and became stubborn. Anyway, he just didn't want to move.

In fact, several people in the orphanage who often came back to see him had mentioned to him about the move. There are so many children in the orphanage who will not forget their roots when they grow up, and they all want to support him.

But he really didn't want to move, he was already so old, what was he messing about, why did he live comfortably in an old house in the suburbs and go to a city where he didn't know where he was born to suffer.

Chu Huai also knew that the old man could not be persuaded away with just one sentence, so he continued to persuade patiently.

"Dean, you are getting old, and it is inconvenient to live alone. Recently, the news reports that the virus has started to spread again, which is worse than the previous SARS. I am worried about you living alone. To put it bluntly, what? God, no one will know when you are in this house..."

"Damn! Brat, old man, I want to live a long life!"

Dean Jiang frowned, most of the elderly hated to hear this kind of truth.

"Last time the doctor said you can only live to be 70."

Chu Huai ignored it and attacked without conscience.

Yu Ke tilted his head, pinched his fingers and began to mutter again, "Grandpa Jiang, you seem to be 69 years old this year..."

Two bastards!

Dean Jiang covered his heart again, gasping for breath.

Chu Huai was not worried either. He helped the old man pour a glass of water before raising his eyebrows and asking slowly.

"Dean, are you really not going to move?"

"Don't move! Old man, I belong to this house by birth, and I will be the ghost of this house when I die!"

Dean Jiang looked as determined as death.

Chu Huai glanced at the old man, didn't say a word, turned around and went out to a corner where no one was around, and took an electric drill and a shovel from the space before returning.

"Chu Huai, what are you doing?"

Dean Jiang's eyelids twitched, feeling a bad premonition.

Chu Huai didn't answer, but motioned Yu Ke to stop him, then picked up the electric drill and shovel and walked to the east side of the house, and started to lift the floor and dig things, the movements were quick and without any ambiguity.

It doesn't matter that Yu Ke is using a compass to figure out the direction of fortune, he also knows about the old man hiding gold under the floor.

A few years ago, the old man learned to speculate in stocks and made a lot of money in the bull market, but soon the global financial turmoil and currency depreciation caused the funds in the old man's bank account to shrink severely, and the old man was so angry that he lay on the bed cursing for a whole month. good.

From then on, the old man didn't trust any banks anymore, he exchanged most of his savings into gold to preserve value, and then imitated the ancients' stupid method and buried them in the ground.

Needless to say, this method is clumsy but very useful, and even thieves cannot steal it when they enter the house.

If the old man hadn't slipped his tongue once when he was drunk, even he wouldn't have known about it.

The man who lives in this house is the ghost of this house when he dies. The old man is afraid that others will know that he buried things under the floor. He understands what the old man thinks!

With an electric drill and a shovel, I saw the coffin that I worked so hard to hide was dug out.

Dean Jiang finally stopped being stubborn, and confessed in pain.

He couldn't figure out why Chu Huai had to let him move. He had lived in this place for decades, and he was not allowed to be clean when he was dying!

"Boy, do you have something to ask me? If you have something, just say it, don't mess with the old man."

Watching Chu Huai roll up his sleeves and actively pack his luggage, Dean Jiang finally realized something was wrong.

He picked up Chu Huai himself, and brought him up with his own hands. After Chu Huai was adopted, they kept in touch frequently. He knew Chu Huai's character better than anyone else.

Chu Huai has been withdrawn and colder than ordinary children since he was a child, and he is indifferent to everything, as if it doesn't matter to him if the world is destroyed, he has always put on a dead face with no expression.

At this moment, Chu Huai is so active in letting him move to C City to live together, it is more than a monster if things go wrong, and he is not a fool after living most of his life.

"I heard people say that the world is going to be rough. I'm afraid you won't be able to die in time, old man."

Chu Huai showed a rare smile and showed his big white teeth at the old man.

"Bastard!"

Dean Jiang slammed the table wildly, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he was about to die of anger.
