Chapter 6 Luo Xinxin: Grandpa and Grandma, let’s go after we finish eating
Mrs. Liu knew without asking that he must have offended someone, and offended someone severely, otherwise the Shanghai Military Region would never be willing to let him go.
"What did you say about the leader this time?"
"I didn't say anything, just asked him to transfer his son to the art troupe as an artist. Keeping him in the barracks would only bring trouble to his comrades."
Li Rong answered truthfully.
He still has no regrets. If he can't even tell the truth, he would rather not follow such a leader. He will go to the Northwest Military Region to make a living!
"You kid... you've hit the wall so many times and you don't know how to restrain yourself. Don't do anything stupid again when you go to the northwest!"
Mrs. Liu looked at him helplessly. The Northwest was so far away, and she wouldn't be able to see him for a long time. She felt very uncomfortable.
"The Northwest is wonderful, with solitary smoke rising from the desert and the setting sun over the long river. You taught me this!"
Li Rong looked indifferent. He could even adapt well to the tropical rainforest. As long as he was on Earth, he would not panic.
"Take good care of yourself when you go to the Northwest. Don't write to me anymore. Your grandfather and I have sensitive identities. I don't want to implicate you!"
Mrs. Liu stopped trying to persuade her. The child had grown up and had his own opinions. She would get annoyed if she talked too much.
"I know what's going on, Grandma. Keep these money and food coupons for your own use. I'll send them to you later."
Li Rong took out the food coupons and money and stuffed them all in.
"Your grandfather (pronounced Aya) and I have money, so keep it for yourself."
Mrs. Liu refused to take it, but Li Rong was very determined, so she accepted the food coupons without asking for a penny.
"You're really rich. A few years ago, you could earn more than 200 yuan a month. Your uncle and his men also sent you money, so you saved quite a bit. I'll ask you for more when I've spent it all."
Mrs. Liu was afraid that he wouldn't believe her, so she went upstairs to get the passbook to show him, and there was indeed more than 5,000 yuan in the deposit.
The Liu family is a well-known family in Shanghai. Professor Liu's father and several brothers are all engaged in business and have very large businesses, but he is the only one who is engaged in literature.
Later, the war broke out and the business environment in Shanghai became increasingly harsh. Mr. Liu moved his business abroad and moved his family. Only Professor Liu stayed behind as he was unwilling to leave his hometown.
After liberation, Professor Liu sent his two sons abroad, but the couple stayed behind. They were reluctant to leave their homeland and wanted to die in their hometown even if it meant death.
Li Rong spent the night at the Liu family. He used to stay at the Liu family when he went to the city on vacation. He rarely went to the Li family.
Mrs. Liu raised him, and he is not an ungrateful person like his mother. Even if it affects his future, he still wants to come.
At worst, I can just change my career!
If I am not welcome here, there are other places that will welcome me!
One day before leaving for the Northwest, the Luo family had packed their luggage. Thick quilts, thick clothes, and some daily necessities filled three large bags, and Luo Xinxin packed the rest into the space.
She bought three more listening cards, a total of six, and went to chat with Luo Weian.
"Grandpa, are there any important things left at home?"
Luo Weian's heart skipped a beat and his expression became embarrassed.
Luo Xinxin immediately used the listening heart card.
What should I do with those treasures? I should have let the boss take them all away.
You can only listen to the heart card for three seconds, and that's all you hear.
"there is none left."
Luo Weian didn't tell anyone about the baby. He was the only one who knew about it, not even his wife.
[It's hidden so well, those people shouldn't be able to find it]
[No one would guess that there is a treasure hidden under the stove]
Luo Xinxin's mouth curled up slightly. The three listening heart cards were worth a lot. They were the accumulation of more than ten generations of the Luo family. Moreover, the ancestor had been an imperial physician in the palace. The treasures they had accumulated must be quite a lot.
It was late at night, and Luo Xinxin appeared in the kitchen quietly. She took a stick and knocked around the stove little by little. She soon found a hollow brick under the stove. After prying it open, a dark hole was revealed.
She pried open a few more bricks, and the hole became bigger, big enough for one person to crawl into. After Luo Xinxin crawled in, she suddenly saw that under the dark stove was a dark room of about ten square meters, which contained more than a dozen wooden boxes, and none of them were locked.
Luo Xinxin opened them one by one and found that they were indeed all treasures. There was a box of gold ingots, a box of silver ingots, and the rest were various jewelries, as well as ancient medical books, famous calligraphy and paintings, and various rare medicinal materials such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. They were all placed in fine ebony boxes and have been well preserved until now.
There were so many treasures that she didn't have time to check them one by one, so she stored them all in the space, then left the dark room and restored the stove to its original state.
They also took away the refrigerator, washing machine, television, radio, bicycles, valuable furniture, etc. In an instant, the Luo family's house became empty.
Luo Xinxin checked up and down the stairs to make sure nothing was missed before going to bed.
[The host used his wisdom to protect the Luo family's property. The mall will randomly open three products and reward 100 points.]
The system suddenly appeared and gave a particularly generous reward.
Luo Xinxin checked and found that she currently had 145 points. The mall also had three new items: a teleportation card, flour, and sugar.
Each teleportation card costs 5 points and is valid for one minute.
Flour is worth 1 point per pound, and sugar is worth 2 points per pound.
On the last night in Shanghai, Luo Xinxin slept soundly. In the morning, she got up to boil eggs and make omelets to eat on the road. She also cooked porridge with the last bit of rice.
Luo Weian and his wife both got up, but when they thought about boarding the train to the northwest, they lost their appetite.
[Comfort grandparents and relieve their sadness of separation, and receive 5 points]
"Eat quickly and get on the road!"
Luo Xinxin urged him coldly and went on to eat.
The old couple, who were still feeling sad, were so angry at these words that all their sadness disappeared, and they ate their breakfast with gritted teeth.
The crisp and pleasant sound of money arriving rang in Luo Xinxin's mind. She curled the corners of her mouth proudly and took a big bite of the omelet.
The biggest advantage of the 1960s was that there was no high technology, so the ingredients were authentic and delicious.
After breakfast, Mrs. Luo went to wash the dishes and only then did she realize that the refrigerator was missing.
Luo Weian also discovered that the furniture, TV, and phonograph in the living room were all gone. The old couple looked at each other, wondering if there had been a thief last night?
Before they had time to ask Luo Xinxin, the staff came to their door.
"It's time to go to the train station. Have you packed your things?"
The staff asked seriously.
"Clean up, leader!"
Luo Weian and his wife smiled apologetically and answered honestly.
The staff checked the entire house, their expressions unwavering, and asked sternly, "Where are the appliances and furniture? Where are they hidden?"
"Report to the leader, Luo Wanqing secretly took him away last night!"
Luo Xinxin spoke first.
The staff's face became even uglier. You are so good, Luo Wanqing, you actually pretended to build a plank road but secretly crossed Chencang. I will settle the score with you later!
Luo Weian and his wife were both stunned. Luo Xinxin spoke so confidently that they began to believe it.
Could it really be that the second brother took it?
“It’s time to hit the road!”
The staff urged him that his task was to escort the three members of the Luo family to the train station.
Luo Weian and his wife dared not say anything but got into the staff's car obediently. Looking at the sycamore tree outside the car window and the car moving rapidly towards the back, the old couple could not help but shed tears.
This time, I don’t know when I can return, let alone if I can come back!
Luo Xinxin didn't react at all and just slept against the back of the chair. Even the staff were a little impressed by her. The little girl had a really big heart.
Li Rong had breakfast at Liu's house and prepared to leave for the train station. He was responsible for leading a team to escort a group of scientists to the Northwest Research Base.
"Arong, if Xinxin is in trouble, you can help her if you can, okay?"
Mrs. Liu thought about it again and again and finally brought it up.
She was really worried about Luo Xinxin, a pretty girl in the northwest, whom Luo Weian and his wife could not rely on at all. What would happen to the little girl if she encountered any difficulties?
"I will!"
Li Rong agreed. Just because that vicious woman sent so many supplies, he would help.
"After you went to the Northwest, you kept talking... Never mind. You didn't listen even when I told you. Anyway, take care of yourself. I'm still looking forward to attending your wedding!"
Mrs. Liu gave Li Rong some reluctant instructions, just like sending her own child on a long journey. She took out a large bag of egg pancakes and a bag of tea eggs and asked Li Rong to take them with him to eat on the road.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I'm leaving!"
Li Rong carried his luggage and said goodbye to the Liu couple. His comrades were waiting for him at the entrance of the alley, and they went to the train station together.
Luo Xinxin and the others had already arrived at the train station. The train was leaving at 9:30. There were quite a few people standing on the platform, all of whom were going to the Northwest Farm for reform.
She counted and found that there were seven people excluding her family, six boys and one girl.
