Chu Chen shook his head and no longer thought about the grudge between the master and the others. It was useless to think about it too much. If there is a chance in the future, he would try to see if he could reconcile the two of them. "Achen, since the things are at Mr. Liu's place, don't bother showing them to me. Didn't you say before that your house can be renovated in a month? I will go and appreciate it then. Also, then Just accept the three-legged stove. This is also my wish." Chu Chen thought for a while. After all, he was his uncle, so he couldn't refuse it too much, so he agreed, thinking, since his uncle likes it so much. From now on, I will try to get some things from Ge Kiln by myself. If you can't find them, go to the auction company and buy one for him. Then, the two chatted for a while, and Chao, who was driving, reminded them that they were almost at their destination. At this time, Chu Chen looked out the window and saw many people picking grapes there, but it was obvious that some of them should be tourists, which made him curious and asked: "What's going on, uncle? Are there any activities here?¡± Zhao Qirui also looked outside and said with a smile: ¡°Achen, you don¡¯t even know about this. Our Jibei is a large agricultural area and has always been known as the ¡°Hometown of Watermelon¡±. You may have heard that Jibei holds a watermelon festival every year. In addition, Jibei is also famous for its mulberries and grapes, so this year the local Mulberry Festival and Grape Festival were held for the first time. , the Grape Festival starts on August 18th and ends on the 22nd, but grapes can be picked until November, so from June to November, it is the picking period for tourists. ¡± Listen. At this point, Chu Chen couldn't help but smile and said: "Uncle, I didn't expect you to know this very well." Zhao Qirui chuckled and said: "It wasn't that Xiaoyan was clamoring to come. It happened to be summer vacation, so our family came over to play together. Not to mention, this grape festival is really good. There are many social activities, summer singing and dancing parties, movie parties, Chinese high-quality grape competitions, etc. It¡¯s a pity that I didn¡¯t think of it before. Just come together." Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "This grape festival can't be just this year. Can't we come together next year?" Zhao Qirui said happily: "Okay, next year we will not only have grapes. The Watermelon Festival is coming, and the Watermelon Festival and Mulberry Festival are coming too. Oh. Xiaoyan is going to take the high school entrance examination next year. It seems that she can't come to the Watermelon Festival. Haha, if she hadn't been busy with studies, she would have come with us today. Yulan has to take care of your mother, otherwise she would probably come with her." Hearing Zhao Qirui mention Chu Yulan. Chu Chen thought of a question he had been concerned about for a long time and asked: "Uncle, does Xiaolan have dependent personality disorder?" Zhao Qirui nodded, and then asked a little strangely: "Achen, does Xiaolan have it? How did you know about this disease? Although Yulan knew it, she didn't admit that she had this disease. " "Xiaolan really didn't mention it to me. However, I have seen this kind of case on the Internet before, and I came up with it based on her description and my own feelings. I just don¡¯t know if it is right or not.¡± ¡°Oh, Achen, you are quite powerful.¡± Zhao Qirui sighed and said: "Yulan is also a poor child. She has been abused in the orphanage since she was a child. When my sister and brother-in-law adopted her, few parts of her body were intact, and there were all scars. It feels very pitiful to look at it. The root cause of her condition is because of what she experienced during this time. "But fortunately, my sister found it early and after treatment, her condition improved a lot, at least she is not as bad as before." Other patients are so extreme and know how to be "kind" and "repay". However, because their hearts have been hurt too much, it is impossible to completely cure them, but it is difficult. " At this point, Zhao Qirui saw. Looking at Chu Chen, he said: "Achen, my sister's health is not very good, and my brother-in-law is so busy, so sometimes, Yu Lan can only ask you to take care of me, okay?" Chu Chen doesn't do this kind of thing. Maybe she objected, so Zhao Qirui continued: "Achen, there is just one thing you have to pay attention to, that is, don't be too accommodating to her in normal times. There are some things that she can complete with her ability, so let her complete it by herself, otherwise she will be dependent on her. It's more serious and it's not good for her condition." When Chu Chen nodded to express his understanding, Achao reminded them that they had arrived at their destination. After Chu Chen got off the car, he looked around. The surrounding houses were in a typical northern rural style. Many of them were red brick houses with separate courtyards on the first floor. Of course, some houses had ceramic tiles on their walls. , or mosaic, or coated with lime cement. The house in front of Chu Chen and the others has ceramic tiles on the walls, and it looks porcelain.The quality of the product is good. From this, it can be seen that this family must be in a good financial situation. The owner of this household is a man in his forties, who looks quite elegant and wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He had received a call from Zhao Qirui before, so he was waiting at the door early. As soon as Chu Chen and the others got out of the car, he walked to the car with a smile. Afterwards, the two parties introduced each other. This middle-aged man¡¯s surname was Meng. He was the person who sold Zhao Xueyi the colorful character jar before. He also introduced the place where the house was taken out this time. After the two parties introduced each other, the middle-aged man said with some guilt: "You two can just call me Lao Meng. I really feel sorry for Lao Zhao about what happened last time. That thing was also passed down from my ancestors. I really don't know what happened." "The thing is an old imitation." Chu Chen and the others just smiled slightly after hearing this and said nothing. In the antique business, seeing is believing. Even if you say it is ridiculous, it is still fake. And who knows whether your thing is really passed down from ancestors. What comes down may be the mines you planted. Zhao Qirui waved his hand and said: "Lao Meng, we are pressed for time. Where is the place you mentioned, please take us there now, okay?" Lao Meng is also from Lao Jianghu. Seeing the disapproving attitude and mood of Chu Chen and the others, There was not much movement, and he laughed and said: "The place is not far away, it only takes five or six minutes to walk. Let's talk about the specific situation while walking." After hearing this, the two agreed, and then followed Lao Meng to the west end of the village. go. "The place I went to this time was the home of a cousin of mine. His family used to be landlords, but the older generation was more open-minded and funded several old revolutionaries. So during that time, even though their family suffered a lot, they couldn't bear it. "But the fortune teller managed to save it, and later returned a lot of the confiscated property." "Actually, their family's financial situation was good, but recently my cousin's younger son got into a big disaster." Here, he let out a long sigh and said: "Some time ago, he was in a car accident while driving under the influence of alcohol. He killed two old men and one young man on the spot, and left another one disabled. What a sin! In this way, not only will he have to face a lawsuit, but he will also We have to pay a lot of money. We have no choice but to sell the things left by our ancestors in exchange for money, and strive to reduce the sentence by a few years.¡± In the end, Lao Meng was very sad. He is a good family. In the end, he was ruined by a drunk driver. The lesson was really profound! Although Chu Chen and the others don't know whether what Lao Meng said is true or not, this incident also serves as a wake-up call for car owners like them who have a lot of dinner parties. They must not drive after drinking. They must not take any chances in this matter. Psychology, as the old saying goes, don¡¯t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected! Chu Chen and the others followed Lao Meng to a house. Although this family's house was a typical northern residence, the decoration was better than that of Lao Meng's house. It was indeed as well-off as Lao Meng said before. Lao Meng knocked on the door, and after a while, an old man with white hair walked out. He had a sad face. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that something might have happened to his home. The old man looked at Chu Chen and the others and asked, "Baosheng, what are you doing here this time?" "Uncle, didn't I tell you yesterday that a boss would come over today to take a look at some of your things?" Is it a good thing? Why did you forget it? " "Hey, look at my memory." The old man patted his head fiercely and said with a somewhat excited expression: "I'm really sorry, my memory is not very good these days. Come on. Come on in!" After saying that, he made a gesture to welcome everyone in. The old man led everyone to the living room, and then Lao Meng introduced both parties. The old man called himself Lao Chen. Originally, after the introduction, he wanted to make a cup of tea for Chu Chen and the others. However, after everyone entered the door just now, they met several of Lao Chen's family members. They all looked frowning, which made this place The atmosphere was a bit gloomy, which made Chu Chen and the others feel very uncomfortable. So Zhao Qirui said: "Old Chen, we are in a hurry, so there is no need to make tea. If it is convenient for you, just take us to see something." "Okay! Okay!" Old Chen is in urgent need now. As long as money can buy his things, it can be said that he will respond to all requests. After hearing what Zhao Qirui said, he quickly nodded and bowed and led everyone to a small room that looked like a pile of debris. "Haha, that's it. My father specifically told me back then that if he didn't encounter difficulties, he could not sell off the things passed down by his ancestors, so the things have always been kept here." With that, Lao Chen took out the key and opened the door. , suddenly a cloud of dust flew up, causing everyone to cough again and again, and it was too late for everyone to retreat. Seeing this,??Chen quickly said awkwardly: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! We usually don't come to this place. We only clean it once before the Chinese New Year. I forgot about it just now in a hurry. Please forgive me!"
