Chapter 246: Little Life, Shadow, Handover

“How much is stuffed in here?”

Lin Jihua sighed, but couldn't find a suitable word, and Xu Qingshan on the side passed the message to him.

"Foam."

"Hiss, yes! Bubbles!"

"Uncle, you've been to Japan, too. You must be very familiar with Japan's performance since the 90s."

“It really has that flavor.”

Lin Jihua licked his lips, thinking of Japan at that time, and then looking at the vibrant and wildly growing country today.

"Gradually going crazy, then dead."

"Oh, that's not right, uncle."

Xu Qingshan suddenly thought of a question.

"Didn't you go to Japan in the 1990s? I remember our national football team seemed to be doing pretty well back then?"

Xu Qingshan glanced at his second uncle, who was driving with one hand, with his collar open, and looked more stylish than himself, a handsome 18-year-old boy, with a look of suspicion.

"Ah? Hahaha, oh, ah~"

Lin Jihua uttered all kinds of atavistic onomatopoeia.

"Didn't you go to Japan last year before coming back?"

"What are you going to do? Are you going to sell pornographic movie tapes again?"

Xu Qingshan was ashamed.

"Uh, haha, haha, no, I just poured out a little bit of the photo album this time, just wiped the edge, just wiped the edge."

Lin Jihua wiped his sweat frantically.

Xu Qingshan leaned back in his chair helplessly.

No wonder I went astray in my previous life. Isn't this just an excuse for myself?
The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!
"Just think about it, a 24k full-color full-page photo album costs 1499 to 2999 yen, which is about 12 or 600 yuan. A 1200k half-size hardcover album costs 30 to 35 yuan, which is more than a few dozen yuan. I went to a warehouse to buy expired photo albums, and each album cost less than 80 yuan. Even if I add the customs cost when I return to China, the cost is only yuan per album. I can sell it for yuan. Isn't this pure profit!"

Lin Jihua explained frantically.

"You're still going through customs?"

"Of course. Am I the kind of person who would break the law?"

"Can something that can pass through customs be a serious photo?"

"Of course it's a serious photo shoot! Actress, actress, in Japan, as long as a female actress is called an actress, okay? I didn't say she was an AV actress."

"I really admire you, Niu."

Xu Qingshan gave his second uncle a thumbs up.

"Okay, okay, now that we're here, you can't tell your cousin and aunt about those things. This is a secret between us."

"Good good."

Xu Qingshan got out of the car.

Lin Jihua rented a house here. It’s not big, but it’s quite close to the company.

Now the real estate company has only temporarily rented a floor in an office building as its headquarters. It does not have the money to build a headquarters yet, so it can only tinker with it as it pleases.

"Don't you plan to ask your aunt to come to Lu Island to find something to do with you?"

Xu Qingshan asked.

"I'm talking to her, but your cousin's grandfather hasn't been in good health lately, and she's still taking care of him."

"So you live here by yourself?"

Xu Qingshan pushed open the door.

But I found that this small rental house was unexpectedly tidy, and it looked like it was cleaned every day.

Although this small house is not spacious, it is well kept and spotless.

There is a big red anti-slip floor mat as soon as you enter the door. There is a thin-looking wooden shoe rack against the wall in the entrance hall. There are not many shoes, but they are neatly arranged according to color depth, style and category.

The pair of leather shoes closest to the door seemed to be worn most often. The uppers were polished to a shiny finish, and there was shoe polish and a small brush hanging next to the shoe rack.

In the small square living room, there is a small wall-mounted TV facing a simple sofa covered with a sofa cover without any wrinkles or stains. On the coffee table is a vase with daisies in it. The vase is a glass bottle for drinking Coke. The water in the bottle is clear and transparent, and there are also some colorful pebbles.

There was a ceramic cup for drinking water on the table, nothing else.

"I'm your uncle, and I'm always hanging out by myself. How's that going? I'm doing pretty well, right?"

Lin Jihua walked into the kitchen proudly.

"Please sit on the sofa for a while. This room has two bedrooms reserved for you."

Lin Jihua had already taken an apron from the kitchen and put it on.

It's just that this handsome old man, dressed in a dandy outfit and a pink apron, looks very interesting.

"Left it for me?"

Xu Qingshan unexpectedly put down his luggage and did not sit on the sofa. He leaned against the central wall pillar of the house. The wall pillar was square, with one corner connected to the living room, one corner connected to the kitchen, and another corner connected to the bedroom and toilet. It was quite compact.

"Yes, your sister wouldn't want to come to Lu Island if she had a holiday. She's grown up now and has her own ideas."

Lin Jihua felt a little emotional.

She has already started to clean up the vegetables and meat on the chopping board. Although the kitchen is small, the kitchen utensils of all sizes are arranged in order on the stove. There are clips on the seasoning bags. The range hood is a little yellow, but it is clean. The refrigerator stickers on the refrigerator door record the dates of various ingredients.

"Uncle, the life you lead is really not something that ordinary people can live."

Xu Qingshan felt that this feeling was very familiar and reminded him of the days when he lived in Longjiang.

It seems to be the same, the house is not big, but flowers are everywhere.

"What can't ordinary people do? I learned this from your grandma."

Lin Jihua is good at knife skills and the chopping board makes noises when it rubs.

Dice the tofu, shred the radish, and soak and wash the oysters to make a seafood tofu stew.

Among five brothers and sisters, Lin Jihua has the best cooking skills. He used to run a roadside stall, and his fried rice is even better.

only.

After Lin Jihua mentioned this, Xu Qingshan turned around and looked around the hut again. At first glance, it seemed familiar, but when he looked again, it was full of shadows.

"How is she doing now?"

Lin Jihua moved his hands and saw that Xu Qingshan didn't say anything, so he asked.

"It's good. The school arranged for her to be admitted to the First Hospital of Jingcheng University, and also invited overseas experts to come and provide targeted treatment."

Lin Jihua paused with the knife in his hand, stood for a moment, turned his head slightly, looked out the window, and asked again.

"Where is the third child?"

"My uncle is doing well too. He is accompanying grandma. When grandma gets better, I want my uncle to help me with some things in Beijing."

"That's good."

Lin Jihua turned around with a smile on his face.

However, Xu Qingshan had just seen his second uncle's expression through the cleanly wiped window, and he didn't know whether to say he was relieved or sad.

"That's good."

He repeated what he had said twice.

"Luckily, we have someone as capable as you in the Lin family. Don't worry, if anything happens, your uncles will take care of it for you. You are doing it for us."

"That's what I should do."

Xu Qingshan knew the awkwardness that the previous generation felt between responsibility and care.

This feeling is just like that of a mother. They, the brothers and sisters, are of the same bloodline.

After saying this, both the uncle and nephew were speechless. Xu Qingshan then sat on the sofa outside, looked at his phone, chatted with Jiang Huanxi, and also participated in some topics in the Longjiang Club group.

Lin Jihua worked quickly and finished dinner in no time.

The uncle and nephew sat on two cushions on the ground and ate on the coffee table.

It's hard to imagine that one of them is a rising scholar, and the other is the CEO of a real estate company worth tens of millions. "Are you going to the company tomorrow? There's nothing there right now, but the staff is pretty good. I've brought some capable people from the shoe industry over here."

Lin Jihua poured himself a glass of beer and raised it towards Xu Qingshan.

"I'll have some too."

Xu Qingshan held the cup in both hands.

"Now that you're grown up, you can drink, but your brain works better, so don't drink too much when you go out to drink, as alcohol paralyzes the brain."

Lin Jihua smiled and poured wine for Xu Qingshan.

"Would you like to smoke some later? These are Cuban cigars my friend gave me. They're real. They taste the same as the ones I smoked in Cuba."

"Do you know Rabindranath Tagore, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature, and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill? They both loved to smoke this."

Lin Jihua showed his treasured little cigarette case.

"Jie Xing, try it later."

Xu Qingshan wanted to say that he would not smoke anymore, but when he saw his second uncle's expression, he seemed to understand something and answered.

"Come on, cheers!"

"I wish our most outstanding young scientist in China will win the Nokia Award in the future!"

"Uncle, it's the Nobel Prize!"

"Oh, okay, be Tagore!"

Xu Qingshan looked at his second uncle who was happy in front of him, knowing that he was deliberately joking, so he raised his glass and drank with him.

After drinking it, he watched his second uncle carefully take out a new one from the small box, cut it and handed it to Xu Qingshan, while he took out the half from the small box he carried with him and put it in his mouth.

When Xu Qingshan was about to look for a lighter.

"Clap."

A flame rose up in front of me, a familiar scene.

Xu Qingshan saw the red glow of the tobacco at the front of the new cigar through the flame, and through the flame he saw the face that seemed to have shown some signs of aging.

He used to stuff burgers into his mouth like this, right?

I was young at that time.

I don't know how much money it is or how much the price is.

For white people, being able to eat a hamburger and French fries is a luxury, not to mention KFC and McDonald's.

Everyone knows the wages and prices in small towns.

A child's hamburger, French fries and cola can be exchanged for a slice of roast duck with sauce.

Even Xu Xuejun, who had a stable job, and Lin Yuehua, who valued Xu Qingshan, rarely allowed Xu Qingshan to have a meal of hamburgers and French fries.

But when this man in front of me is with my cousin and myself, my share is never less.

Although Xu Qingshan did not learn the true manliness part from his father.

But he still learned some concepts about family very well.

“The mountains.”

Lin Jihua took back the lighter and lit his own.

He took a breath, exhaled slowly, and as if sighing out the last obsession in his chest, he spoke.

"If I'm going to rely on you in the future, don't work too hard. If you have any problems, tell your uncle."

Just now pouring wine and lighting a cigarette.

It seems to imply the transfer of some responsibilities.

Although the party who took the initiative to hand over was very helpless and sad.

"Uncle can't do anything right now. Even this job depends on you. But if you encounter some messy things, don't be afraid. Just move forward. Uncle can block it for you."

Xu Qingshan knew what Lin Jihua meant by this sentence.

He makes the money, but his uncle takes the blame.

He just keeps moving forward, no matter how far he goes. As long as he can still hold on, he is willing to take the risk on himself and be the target.

"Uncle, we live in a society ruled by law now. Don't worry, I can do it."

Xu Qingshan poured himself a glass and wanted to clink glasses with Lin Jihua.

Lin Jihua touched it, but still shook his head.

"The capital is different from Ludao."

Lin Jihua frowned and spoke.

"Whether it's Beijing or Shanghai, that's not where we belong. Some things can't be decided by simple laws."

“Whether it’s capital or power and wealth, I have traveled to so many countries and witnessed so many ups and downs. Even if I am just an ant-like bystander, I can still see some things clearly.”

"Laws are only used to maintain order, not to enforce justice."

"For the sake of order, whether it's the law or the job, some things that are not so important can be abandoned at will."

"Money, status, fame, everything is empty."

Lin Jihua's expression was very cautious and serious. Xu Qingshan seemed to have never seen such an uncle since he could remember.

It's like wanting to pass on the skills that I've seen and heard throughout my life to the next generation.

It seemed that it was that glass of wine and that cigarette that unlocked this kind of second uncle.

“Here we only talk about one thing.”

"this."

Lin Jihua raised his left hand, clenched it into a fist, and pointed at his fist.

"But I'm not talking about the fist of the fist."

“No matter how high you reach, no matter how far you go, don’t forget that you must have something that can make others fear and be cautious.”

"Otherwise, no matter how much money you make, you will just be a money bag."

“That’s not terrible.”

"But I know your character well. If there comes a day when you are treated as a money bag, there will only be one outcome for the situation."

Lin Jihua said nothing more, just stared at Xu Qingshan.

Xu Qingshan nodded.

He didn't quite have a way to explain to his second uncle where the path of scientific research would lead, but the truth he just said was the same whether it was here or looking at the world.

Xu Qingshan remembered that he had seen it when he was reading the newspaper in his previous life.

British technology entrepreneur Mike Lynch and Morgan Stanley International Chairman Jonathan Blum, along with their top lawyers, headed to the Mediterranean to celebrate after winning a $10 billion lawsuit against Hewlett-Packard.

This celebration brought the whole family to heaven.

Only the people involved in the case died on the ship, the other 15 waiters were rescued safely, the luxury yacht sank, and the final autopsy results showed that the death was due to suffocation, not drowning.

Legally, they won.

But so what.

The other party has plenty of ways to let the whole world know that it was me who killed you.

But so what?
Xu Qingshan was thinking about it at that time.

Why do I feel like he is a bit like me?

"Let's not talk about these heavy things. Come, have a drink. After drinking, my second uncle will take you to the beach tomorrow. There is no sea in Beijing, and it is not very convenient to eat fresh seafood. Eat more this time when you come back."

Lin Jihua raised his glass and smiled, breaking the heavy atmosphere.

He was just expressing his opinion, he didn't mean to be perverted.

Xu Qingshan did not return to Heilongjiang these days. His parents have been busy with work handover and adapting to the new environment. It must be very lively at home during the National Day, but Xu Qingshan doesn't like that kind of liveliness.

Accompanied by Lin Jihua, he inspected his two companies in Ludao and put forward some suggestions.
