Just turned over a new leaf and became a wise and intelligent student

Chapter 167 Going to Lu Island (13) Please give me your monthly vote!

After hanging up the phone, Chen Dayue looked at the skewers in his hand and then looked at Xia Bican beside him.

"Was this kid showing off to us just now?"

Chen Dayue asked a little uncertainly.

"Remove it."

Xia Bican took a big bite of the skewer in his hand.

"that is!"

The two old men took a few more bites of the skewers and suddenly looked at each other and laughed.

This kid Xu Qingshan really did not disappoint.

"Old Xia, don't you think this kid is growing too fast?"

Chen Dayue suddenly said something in a sullen tone.

Xia Bican glanced at him a few times.

"Oh, Director Chen is still not confident? Why? Are you afraid that you can't teach him?"

Xia Bican's mentality is much better than Chen Dayue's. He doesn't quite understand Chen Dayue's feeling of treating his students as his own sons.

"If it's a field I've studied in depth, I'm sure I can teach him well."

Chen Dayue sighed.

"But Qingshan obviously won't just stay at the current level, and I have a feeling that this kid will go further than we think in the future."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Xia Bican asked in confusion.

"That's a good thing, but I guess our relationship as teacher and student won't last long."

As Chen Dayue was talking, he picked up the beer beside him and opened a bottle for himself.

"Hey, Lao Chen, don't you not drink?"

"The atmosphere is already here, don't you want to have a drink?"

"Then I will accompany you."

Chen Dayue and Xia Bican drank a toast, and after drinking it all, Chen Dayue breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's fine. No matter what path he takes, he is still a member of our Peking University. He has an active mind, so it would be more appropriate for him to choose Yuanpei College."

"Then choose. Don't think too much. Be open-minded. That kid will forget you because of his temper."

Xia Bican comforted Lao Chen.

Two middle-aged and elderly men were drinking and eating barbecue at this small roadside stall, and they didn't look like intellectuals at all.

Longjiang, more than 2,000 kilometers away.

Xu Qingshan was staying beside his grandmother and talking to her patiently.

"Grandma, the medical conditions on Lu Island are better. Come with me and we'll go to the Chinese Medicine Hospital for a checkup. I have friends there. Don't worry, it will cost the least amount of money."

The little old lady sat on the stool in silence.

Her hands, which looked like the veins of a dead tree, had done countless things. When she was young, she cut grass for pigs, farmed, and planted trees. Later, when her grandfather passed away, she took care of a mountain of loquats by herself, chopped wood and cooked. In her old age, she carried a bag to take care of her little grandson.

Xu Qingshan was gently stroking the calluses and lines on his grandmother's hands.

"Grandma, you've been working all your life, can't you take a break?"

"But my mission has been completed. If you go to Lu Island, I will be less likely to be gossiped about when I return home."

The old lady couldn't persuade her little grandson, so she spoke in a muffled voice.

This is different from her usual sharp tongue.

Xu Qingshan finally knew who his uncle inherited his temper from.

"What gossip? Who dares to gossip?"

Xu Qingshan raised his eyebrows.

The little old lady is most afraid of several things in her life.

One is that they are afraid of bothering others, and the other is that they are afraid of being gossiped about behind their backs.

"You can raise a grandson who is a perfect top scholar, can they do it? Just based on this, even if I go to the capital to attend university, I will take you with me."

Xu Qingshan thought of ways to comfort the old lady.

"If anyone dares to gossip, I will go back and overturn the table. If you don't want to play, then no one can play anymore."

The old lady quickly patted Xu Qingshan.

"You stinky brother, you talk nonsense, you should be kind to others."

"Okay, okay, then, grandma, seeing how I am in such a bad mood, shouldn't you stay by my side and take good care of me?"

Xu Qingshan knew his grandmother's weaknesses.

In fact, the third fear that elderly people have when they get older is that they are no longer needed, but they dare not express it directly.

Sometimes, it is easier to convince elderly people with stubborn ideas by taking them to enjoy a good life under the pretext of expressing your own demands.

"forget it."

The old lady was a little tempted, but after hesitating for a moment, she shook her head.

"We have to spend money to rent a house if we go to Lu Island. I can save some money if I don't go, and I can also save on food expenses. Grandma has saved some money here, you can take it and don't go short of food and clothes."

The old lady wanted to go into the house to get money for Xu Qingshan.

But he was stopped by Xu Qingshan.

"Grandma, the house has been arranged. It's not just for me. Xincheng and I will be together. My uncle will also come to visit you often."

Xu Qingshan mentioned his uncle Lin Chenhua.

The old lady's body stiffened, and Xu Qingshan quickly continued.

"My uncle has reformed and is now a decent person. He is doing business and making money on Lu Island. He has been wanting to see you for many years."

Seeing the old lady struggling, Xu Qingshan dropped another bombshell.

"Grandma, you don't have to worry about us having no money." Xu Qingshan didn't believe that someone as smart as his grandmother would not know that something had happened at home and that his parents were paying off their debts. Otherwise, the old lady wouldn't care about the spending of money.

"My uncle and I have a very good business in Ludao this year."

"My uncle and I paid together to solve the problem at home last time. Besides, my scholarships from Beijing University and other places add up to over a million. It's enough to buy a house in Ludao, let alone rent it."

Xu Qingshan pulled the old man to sit down.

"Grandma, you don't have to worry about the money. This trip is mainly to take care of me and Xincheng, and to meet my uncle. Isn't my second uncle also working in Ludao now? Meet them all. We have lived here for so long and haven't seen our family much."

"If I go to the capital, won't we have fewer opportunities to meet? Grandma, please spend more time with me."

Xu Qingshan shook the old man's hand and pleaded.

Perhaps this is the only old lady with such a stubborn temper in the world who would be treated like this by Xu Qingshan.

The old lady looked at her grandson's hopeful eyes and couldn't help but feel softened.

"Then I will accompany you to Lu Island for another month. When you go to school, I will go home to plant loquats."

The old lady thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"So we'll just pack up our things in the next two days?"

Xu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief.

It is really difficult to persuade the elderly.

It takes a lot of hard work to get grandma to go willingly and accept the examination and treatment earnestly.

But no matter how much patience these jobs require, Xu Qingshan has it.

He would not let the regrets of his previous life continue again.

With my grandmother's strong body and stubborn temper, she would have to live to at least ninety-nine.

The old lady went back into the house to count her things and see what she needed to take.

Xu Qingshan returned to his room, packed his things, and called his uncle.

"Hey, how's it going?"

Lin Chenhua was as direct as ever.

He originally wanted to return to Longjiang from Ludao to see his mother, but was stopped by Xu Qingshan.

"It's settled. We'll move there on July 7th."

After Xu Qingshan finished speaking, he heard a sigh of relief from the other side.

"I'll pick you up then."

"Okay, now everything should be arranged, right?"

"Well, we have received the final compensation for the demolition of the house. After deducting the two million we paid back previously, we now have more than 9.67 million on the books."

Lin Chenhua reported very clearly.

"I rented a house of more than 140 square meters on Luhe Road in Kaiyuan District. It is close to Zhongshan Hospital and there is a direct BRT to the hospital."

"I have found the villa area you asked me to look for, and I am waiting for you to come and see it."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, uncle."

Xu Qingshan nodded slightly.

He has his own plans.

He was reborn to let his family live a peaceful and happy life. Even if he still needed more funds to develop his career, it was inevitable for his family to live a good life.

He would not let his parents stay in Yunzhang County forever, and would also provide his grandmother with the best medical conditions possible.

Xu Qingshan knew it very well.

If you want your parents to change completely, you can't just keep an eye on them and control them. It's more important to change the environment and the atmosphere.

He does not have the ability to change the entire Yunzhang atmosphere for the time being, but he can still change the environment for his family.

After finalizing the matter.

Xu Qingshan accompanied his grandmother to pack up her belongings.

"Grandma, you don't need to bring this mop and bucket. We can just go buy new ones when the time comes."

"Why buy a new one? A million-dollar bonus wouldn't be enough for you to spend. You should be more frugal. This one is obviously in good condition. I use it to mop the floor every day."

"Grandma, you don't need to bring tissues. They only cost a few dollars."

"A few dollars is still money, you stinky brother, don't spend the two dollars in your pocket carelessly."

"Grandma, I understand that you want to save money, but this mattress is really unnecessary. We are just going to live in Lu Island, not really moving."

"Huff, huff, well, this is a bit heavy, I won't take it."

It was clearly packing up the household belongings.

Xu Qingshan packed up quickly, but he mainly took the materials and books he needed for his academic research, and that would be enough if he just took the equipment.

Xu Qingshan had no intention of touching the clothes here.

After all, he had basically been wearing school uniforms during his years of study. Even if he had a few casual clothes, they were all outdated styles, with a black base and messy patterns, and there were one or two non-mainstream clothes.

It's simply unbearable to look at.

But he didn't throw it away and regarded it as a kind of youth.

If they had followed the path of their previous life, the school district house in Longjiang would have been sold. But now that Xu Qingshan is here, the family is not short of the money. They can keep it for appreciation, as a souvenir, or so that they have a place to live when they return to Longjiang in the future. Xu Qingshan will not let his parents sell it.

As he walked around with the old lady, Xu Qingshan found it a bit outrageous to see that she had actually packed up furniture from a house that looked like it didn't have much stuff and was very clean, and then filled up the entrance.

Is this another magic of the older generation?

Anything can be collected and hoarded, waiting to be sold for money.

"Humph, you stinky brother, you haven't experienced the great famine we had back then. People ate tree bark and grass roots, and some starved to death. How could they throw things away like they do now?"

The old lady began to reminisce again, and took Xu Qingshan to recall the good and bad times.

Xu Qingshan quickly called Ye Xincheng and told him to pack up his things immediately!
