Xu Qingzhi put the bottle of chrysanthemums and foot bath pills back into the bag, stood up and said, "Grandpa, I'll put it on the table in the house for you, don't forget it."

"It's okay." Xu Dongru hammered his aching knee.

After Xu Fuqiang and Uncle Wang came out of the house, they had basically reached an agreement on all the issues concerning the house.

Uncle Wang took out two contracts, and Xu Qingzhi took them and took a look. They were just normal rental contracts, but they particularly emphasized that the tenant's privacy must be protected during the rental period and the lessor is not allowed to enter without permission.

The rental contract is signed by both parties, and each party keeps a copy.

"By the way, Fuqiang, you know a lot of people in the village, can you help me find some people to renovate the house? I'll arrange the renovation."

"No problem."

Xu Fuqiang called the workers he knew one by one and told them about renovating the house. Soon, seven or eight men came from the village one after another.

Xu Fuqiang didn't care about what happened next, as long as the house was not damaged.

Xu Qingzhi was not interested in seeing the renovated house, so he walked out of the yard and went up along the cement road.

After walking for a long time, we saw a temple located on the hillside.

There are dozens of steps along the way up the mountain. In order to facilitate the elderly, the steps are built very low.

Xu Qingzhi approached the temple. There was a small table at the entrance of the temple, and an old man was sitting behind the table.

"Hey, Xu's daughter, why are you here?"

"Grandpa, I'm here to ask for a longevity charm." Xu Qingzhi sat down and took out ten yuan. "I want to pray for my grandpa to be healthy."

"You are such a filial child. Your grandfather will definitely be very happy." The old man took ten yuan, drew a talisman on the paper, stuffed it into the cloth bag, and handed it to Xu Qingzhi, "Okay, take it."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Xu Qingzhi took it, walked out, and walked down the stairs step by step.

Back in the yard, the sounds of renovation on the right were still a bit noisy, and the old man was still sitting on the chair, hammering his leg.

"You kid, why did you run so far in such a hot day?" Xu Dongru felt distressed at first, then looked at the longevity charm in the child's hand, his old eyes warmed up, and he took it with trembling fingers, saying, "Don't run there next time, it's too far."

The old man solemnly put the longevity charm around his neck.

"Grandpa, it's not far." Xu Qingzhi felt a little thirsty. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and ran into the house: "Grandpa, I'm going in to drink some water."

"Hey, walk slower, don't fall or get hurt." Xu Dongru said anxiously, and stood up and followed him out of habit.

Just like when he was a child, Xiao Qingzhi loved to make noise, liked to run and jump, and always fell down, so his grandfather could only keep a close eye on him.

The old man watched his granddaughter finish drinking the water, then told her to walk slowly and watch the road before he went back to sit under the eaves with peace of mind.

He subconsciously hammered his legs twice more.

Then, I suddenly found that the pain in my leg bones seemed to have eased a little.

He stretched his legs, touched his knees, and stood up and moved.

Eh, it doesn’t hurt anymore, not at all.

My bones were aching just before I stood up.

Now it's actually fine.

Xu Dongru didn’t think much about it. After all, the bone pain would eventually stop.

It’s just that as people get older, bone pain is really unbearable. It’s a good thing that it doesn’t hurt anymore.
