You Hongyin walked about two streets before he found an authentic soup dumpling restaurant on the side of the street and went in.

Although there are richer seasonings and cooking tools, the taste of soup dumplings is always so unsatisfactory compared to the long past.Obviously, the prosperity of the city has also brought negative things. The food suppliers who are trying to feed the city have chosen more modern means to obtain a large amount of food, which not only brings huge profits, but also avoids falling into the bottom line. The predicament of selling goods.

Even though the inheritance and craftsmanship of the past are still there, the things of the past are still the past.

"Not bad." After You Hongyin finished eating, he gave a comment: "At least, the craftsmanship is not bad."

There are not many people in the soup dumpling restaurant, but there are many customers rushing to take away. The neighborhood is very prosperous, and there are many office workers. These people don’t have time to stop and enjoy a meal, so they can only take away in a hurry. Eating while walking is a breakfast.

"Looking at these scenes, I really feel a little regrettable." You Hongyin said: "Nowadays they are in a hurry, working hard for too many things. Food is the most readily available thing, but after waiting for a while, all the efforts in the past will be wiped out." In vain, they have to do their best to pursue what was once within easy reach."

"Are you finished with emotion?" Even a gentleman like Gu Jiujing would find it difficult to drink such poisonous chicken soup: "In the future, you will also be one of them."

You Hongyin caressed his chest, and said with some grief: "Don't remind me of this tragic fact." He paused, sighed, and said: "No matter what else, I want to go home first."

The home You Hongyin was talking about was naturally not that apartment, but an old house.Gu Jiujing's grandparents are still there, and her parents also live in the old house. Originally, Gu Jiujing also lived with her family, but they moved out because of the forced marriage.

In fact, the city is developing so rapidly, and there are not too many old houses in the whole city that can be called old houses due to expansion and reconstruction.It's just that the Gu family's house was passed down from the ancestors, and the history has been quite long.Grandpa Gu, who is too strong, never gave up on this family house even in the most difficult time. When Gu’s father and mother were young, most of their income was posted on the renovation of the old house. How should I put it, for the Gu family, this is not An ordinary house.Maybe now most people can't understand the meaning of the word ancestral house, but You Hongyin can understand what kind of feeling it is.

"My first life and my family were completely missed. In the second life, although I reminded my family early and made a lot of preparations, I didn't expect that it would end up like that." Gu Jiujing said: "I won't go into details now. Tell me about my two lives, because I want to know, Mr. You, what choice would you make in the same situation, and I want to know what I did wrong."

You Hongyin nodded indifferently. Although he has Gu Jiujing's memory, to be honest, Gu Jiujing's experience can only be regarded as a lesson of failure. There is nothing worth learning from. In the end, everything has to be handled by himself: "Okay .Actually, according to the Nine Classics, the essence of this world has never changed, but it is now covered with a layer of peace."

The Gu family's old house is a very classic Soviet-style garden. It occupies a small area in a forest garden, but it is already quite large in today's bustling city.

"Hey, why is Xiaojiu coming back today? Isn't she going to work?" Grandma Gu was just watering the flowers in the garden, and when she saw that her grandson came back after it was not a rest day, her first reaction was: "Is something wrong?"

You Hongyin looked at the old woman in front of her. Although she was very old, she was still in good spirits. She and her husband were both university professors, but Mr. Gu taught Chinese culture and she taught music.

"It's okay grandma, I just came back to take a look." You Hongyin said: "Recently, I really miss grandma's cooking, so I couldn't help running back."

Although Grandma Gu still felt that there was a problem, she was a smart person, and her grandson praised her cooking skills, so she was too happy: "Okay, okay, grandma cooks for lunch."

"You," Gu Jiujing said, "My grandma's cooking skills have been eaten by my grandpa all my life and I have never gotten used to it."

"...I found a reason casually. I thought that all the grandmas in this world are good at housekeeping."

"My family is an exception." Gu Jiujing said, "Aren't you going to tell your family about this?"

"Don't tell me, this kind of thing is too fantasy. It's not good to scare the old man. I just need to be prepared." You Hongyin picked up the shower that Grandma Gu had just put down, and continued her unfinished work.

"Then what are you doing back?" Gu Jiujing was puzzled.

"Although the garden of the Gu family is old, it is not as strong as a new building at all, and the surrounding crowd is relatively dense. In fact, it is not suitable for a hiding place, but it also has a value that cannot be replaced by other buildings. It is in the hearts of everyone in the Gu family. , all represent home." You Hongyin paused and said: "I can see that although your luxuriously decorated apartment is in an excellent location, convenient and modern, but the atmosphere of life is weak, you don't regard it as your home. .In my opinion, other aspects can be compensated by other things, but the pleasure brought by exclusiveness cannot be replaced by other things.” You Hongyin said.

"so?"

"Let me see, let's do a renovation here without destroying the structure."

"The family won't agree."

"There will always be a solution to this." You Hongyin said: "There are many things, take your time step by step, don't worry. Are there any important personal items in the apartment?"

"No." Gu Jiujing: "It's just some clothes and accessories."

You Hongyin directly dialed the secretary's phone number: "Miss Li, do me a favor."

Ms. Li, who had never been assigned by the boss to do anything other than company affairs, found a real estate agency for You Hongyin and put the apartment up for sale.

"Time is running out, and we are in urgent need of cash. We can make some concessions on the price." Gu Jiujing expressed incomprehension to You Hongyin's behavior of selling at the original price. Even if someone else wants to buy it, this is a normal process. Down, every three months is not enough, and if there are any problems with the buyer's loan, it will be even slower.

"What are you worrying about? The location of this apartment is so good that you don't have to worry about having no customers. Naturally, an intermediary will take care of it for you." You Hongyin said, "What's more, when the company is in good condition, it's a good idea to sell the property in your hand. Real estate is a very high-profile thing, and for me, security is the highest priority of all things."

"Sure?" Gu Jiujing was puzzled.

"The Nine Classics is your name, so do you know what it means?" You Hongyin asked.

"Taken from Confucianism, in summary it is the doctrine of the mean." Gu Jiujing said simply.

"Yes, it is conceivable that in the environment of the future, the rules will gradually collapse, and the credibility of the law will be greatly weakened. It is a wise saying to shoot the first bird, and a little clue may bring disaster." You Hong Yin said: "So, before the real disaster strikes, the movement must not be too big."

Gu Jiujing said: "You are too careful, what's more, even if I have a little achievement, who in this world will always pay attention to what others are doing."

"Xiao Jiu, those who care about you and those who are jealous of you will always pay attention to your every move, how could no one pay attention to you." You Hongyin said.

Gu Jiujing was a little unhappy: "Don't call me Xiao Jiu, it's like my elder."

"It looks intimate like this." You Hongyin said, "Well, the next task is to exercise."

"I thought you wouldn't think of this problem." Gu Jiujing said: "My experience is that you can learn everything else later, you must learn to escape first." His tone was very serious: "Because, you can't A little injury, a little injury is irreparable."

"I see." You Hongyin said, "Hey, don't underestimate me, my talent in martial arts is very good."

"A good swimmer will drown." Gu Jiujing said, "Please be careful."

"Ah."

Soon, with the completion of watering the flowers, the conversation came to an end. You Hongyin walked through the lotus pond, artificial hills and corridors, and went directly into the main house: "It's beautiful, and it's well preserved."

The old house has always retained a pure Chinese decoration style, with white walls and solid wood Chinese furniture. Although there are some necessary home appliances, they are covered with some retro covers. From the overall effect, it is not Not obtrusive.

And compared to the pictures of the gardens that are as clean as the models, the life here is very strong. There are vases with flowers on the table with nanmu inlaid mother-of-pearl cloud legs and fine teeth. The chairs were not arranged neatly, it should be that Grandma Gu didn't have time to tidy up while reading a book here.In the middle of the main room, there is a rosewood incense table, but there is nothing enshrined, only a burner of sandalwood incense is still burning, faint green smoke curls up from the incense burner, and the scent of sandalwood blends into the whole air.

Gu Jiujing said: "If it is not relatively recent, our family's forest garden is eligible to apply for cultural heritage."

And Grandpa Gu is back now.

After the old man retires, he will still go to school to take some classes, but there is not much time. In the rest of the time, he also has some lectures and other activities. Generally speaking, he is much freer than in the past, so he has also cultivated For some hobbies like raising birds and practicing Tai Chi, I often go out with the birdcage early in the morning after breakfast, and then go to a nearby park to play Tai Chi and chat with a group of people of the same age.

You Hongyin secretly asked, "Then why didn't grandma go?"

Gu Jiujing paused: "Grandma learned Western music, and she danced very well when she was young. One is that she can't understand the music played by those square dance aunts, and the other is that grandpa is not willing to let her go."

"The relationship between the old couple is very good." You Hongyin said.

Gu Jiujing sighed and said: "So I don't want to get married because I can't meet someone I like. My grandparents don't urge me, but my mother urges me very hard."

"Your persistence is right. You see, it would be very inconvenient if more people needed protection in this situation." You Hongyin comforted him casually, and then walked towards Grandpa Gu: "Grandpa, your oriole seems to be getting fatter." .”

"Stinky boy, you made me unhappy when you came home." Grandpa Gu hung up the birdcage, "Why did my oriole mess with you? Hey, no, today is not a rest day, why are you back? What happened? ?”

Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu are indeed husband and wife for nearly 50 years, and this is the first reaction.

You Hongyin said: "It's nothing, I just want to come back and discuss something with you."

Grandpa Gu put the birdcage away, and after some teasing, he finally walked to the study: "Come with me."
