Chapter 160 Farewell

Lin Siwei smiled calmly: "Uncle, if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly."

Hu Qiaoying nodded, thought for a while, and said: "No matter what your grandma plans to do with these calligraphy and paintings from now on, you will listen to her and help her complete it. Just wish."

Maybe it was because there were so many people or it was so noisy, but he still didn't say it clearly. But Gu Qia, Hu Xingzhi, and Ding Hanwen who were present all heard it and looked at Lin Siwei with interest.

Lin Siwei nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely do it."

Hu Qiaoying looked at her deeply: "Just remember, your grandma is always thinking about you."

"Yes."

Lin Siwei turned to look Grandma, Hu Qiaoyue was looking at her with a calm face, her eyes were clear, without any trace of desire or disturbance.

Grandma must have been such a quiet girl when she was young, Lin Siwei thought.

…

In the evening, they returned to No. 281.

The renovation of No. 265 is very fast, and the prototype is basically ready. Later, after the doors and windows are fixed, the paint is dry, and the furniture comes in, you can officially move in.

It also means that their days living in No. 281 are numbered.

"I'm used to living in the same room with you, but now that we have separate rooms, I almost feel deserted." Hu Qiaoyue said.

Lin Siwei comforted her: "Then I'd rather stay in your room."

"Then don't. We, Miss Siwei, already have a partner, and we can't share a room with an old woman anymore. It's inconvenient."

Lin Siwei suddenly heard that grandma of teasing. Grandma rarely made fun of her when it came to dating. Lin Siwei couldn't help but think of Gu Qialai.

The day after tomorrow Hu Qiaoying and others returned to China, and the day after tomorrow Gu Qia set off.

The days of joyful gatherings are always very short, and in a blink of an eye they are far apart, even at both ends of the earth.

"Uncle and grandpa are going back the day after tomorrow. We will practice it in the city tomorrow night. We will probably stay at the Jinling Hotel." Lin Siwei said.

"Well, I'll talk to my eldest brother tomorrow night." Hu Qiaoyue said with a slightly melancholy tone, "Actually, I've talked too much these days, and I'm not in a hurry for this night. But at our age, we don't see each other more often. "

Grandma, don't say that. It's easier to travel now. They can come back, and we can go visit relatives. We will definitely meet in the near future."

Lin Siwei knew that nothing he could say could comfort grandma who was in a state of separation. Sit on the bedside with her, whisper, and try to change the topic.

"Grandma, did my uncle and grandpa mean something to his words today?" Lin Siwei asked, "Grandma, what do you plan to do with the returned calligraphy and paintings? She must have an idea."

"I can't hide it from you." Hu Qiaoyue finally smiled, "There are more than forty volumes in total, all of them are calligraphy and paintings by famous artists. I plan to donate them all to the Jinling City Museum."

After saying that, she looked at Lin Siwei, waiting for her surprise or objection.

Unexpectedly, Lin Siwei smiled and said, "It's the same as I guessed."

"Oh? You don't object?"

"No, I even support it." Lin Siwei said, "Actually, collecting calligraphy and painting requires a lot of effort and requires certain conditions and temperature. Humidity will affect calligraphy and painting. Our home is definitely not as good as the museum."

Hu Qiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief: "Siwei, you are very considerate and generous. It's grandma who underestimates you."

Lin Siwei hugged Hu Qiaoyue and said coquettishly. Grandma will not look down on me. Grandma only understands people's hearts. I must feel sorry for her. Forty or so paintings and calligraphy by famous artists were all from before liberation. If I let my uncle take one to the auction house, the price would be sky-high. Of course I'm excited. But I promised my grandpa that I'll just help you with the procedures."

Hu Qiaoyue fondly flicked her forehead: "You know we are the most magnanimous in thinking. I dare to admit my selfishness, and my justice will not be left behind. In fact, I think these calligraphy and paintings have value only if they are appreciated by others. If we put them in our home, we will only appreciate them. On the contrary, if we go to the museum, they will become the whole world. Jinling’s treasure, not mine alone.”

“Grandma is so right. Grandma is the one who truly loves calligraphy and painting and knows how to calligraphy and painting.”

Lin Siwei is not exaggerating at all. The more she gets along with her grandma, the more she can feel the energy contained in her body. This energy comes from the soul and has nothing to do with body size, age, energy, etc.

Hu Qiaoyue hugged Lin Siwei, letting her head rest against her chin obediently, and said quietly: "Grandma also has selfish motives.

"These calligraphy and paintings can buy you peace. Lin Siwei

's heart was shocked, and he suddenly remembered what Hu Qiaoying said during the day - "Just remember, your grandma is always thinking about you." It turned out to be this.

The return of so much of the Hu family's property is in the history of Jinling. This is the first time that everyone is poor these days, and two women, one old and one young, suddenly become rich, which can easily cause red eyes and criticism. The

only thing that can keep the wealthy Hu family safe is

the calligraphy and painting donated by the government, of course Hu Qiaoyue . In order for the calligraphy and painting itself to have higher social value, but if you look closely, she also has selfish motives.

In the days to come, the city's leaders may change, and the city's policies may also change. What remains unchanged is the donation from the Hu family. Those things that were taken away were contributions. Regardless of whether she, Hu Qiaoyue, was alive or not, Lin Siwei, the only descendant of the Hu family who was currently recognized, would be a hero in the city. Only

then did Lin Siwei understand that her grandma had planned for herself. To what extent.

Her mother's embrace back then was already far away, and another life had passed, and Lin Siwei had somewhat forgotten it. But her grandma's wholeheartedness made Lin Siwei feel a kind of love at this moment, which was hard to describe, like it was poking at the tip of her heart. , her nose was sore and she couldn't hold back her tears.

However, she didn't want to make her grandma sad, so she had to bury her head in her grandma's bony shoulder and quietly wiped away her tears with her lapel

...

Finally it was time. On the day of bidding farewell to Hu Qiaoying's family, the city's implementation banquet was arranged at the Jinling Hotel. Gu Nianshen attended as the representative of the city leaders. Everyone was excited

when talking about the first foreign-invested enterprise in Jinling City.

After a few words, they didn't rush back to the room. Instead, they asked Hu Xingzhi's mother and son to accompany Zhuang Yinrong and Hu Qiaoyue back to the room first. He asked Lin Siwei to take a walk in the small garden of the hotel to relieve the drunkenness

. Hu Qiaoying is not drunk.

Although he is over seventy years old, his mental state is far ahead of his peers.

"Siwei, did your grandma tell you about calligraphy and painting? "

"Yes, uncle."

"What do you think?"

"I support." Lin Siwei knew that no matter how many expressions he expressed, it would not be as simple and powerful as the word "support".

Hu Qiaoying nodded: "It's your grandma who understands you. I'm still worried about what you will think. Your grandma said it's not true. When she was in the most difficult time, of the three grandchildren, you were the only one willing to call her grandma. She doesn't recognize you. You She still came to the door again and again, and she said you are not that kind of person. "

Lin Siwei smiled and said, "Uncle, no one is not tempted by wealth. The Hu family is returning the family property, and I am just as happy as I am thinking about whether I can return it. How much. However, I still understand the principle that people can't be greedy when the moon is full. "

That's the truth. If you are willing to say that, it is much more true than if you shout some slogans."

Hu Qiaoying stopped and said deeply. He looked at Lin Siwei and said: "My child, I leave it to you, my sister."

Lin Siwei suddenly felt a deep responsibility, for no reason.

"Uncle, don't worry, she is not only your sister, she is also my grandma."

Hu Qiaoying nodded again. This time, he clicked slowly and heavily: "If you need anything, write to us. Maybe in the near future, you can also bring grandma to country M to play."

"I believe it can be done, and I will also find a way to bring grandma Go and go through the formalities."

Hu Qiaoying said: "Siwei, to tell you the truth, I was going to take Qiaoyue with me this time. You know, we have three brothers and sisters, and you also have a brother-in-law, but he has always been there. I didn't get married, died young, and left no descendants. Originally, I thought that we, brother and sister, should be reunited to spend the last few years of our lives..."

Lin Siwei raised her eyebrows, she had no idea about this at all. , I didn’t even hear my grandma reveal anything about it.

She concentrated and held her breath, listening to what Hu Qiaoying said next.

"However, Qiaoyue refused to leave. She said that she had a family and a granddaughter. She could not live without her granddaughter. She said that her granddaughter was her only relative in the world and was lonelier than she was. She still has a foreign country after all. I can still miss my brother in a foreign country, but no one can miss my granddaughter, so she refused to leave with me."

In the darkness, Lin Siwei shed tears silently.

She has never known this. Yes, she is also selfish. She wants to be with her grandma. Grandma will live a long life. Grandma wants to watch her grow up, watch her mature, watch her grow old, and watch her. She has a successful career and sees her family happy.

No, grandma is a happy part of her family.

"Uncle. Thank you for telling me this."

Hu Qiaoying stretched out her right hand: "Come, remember our promise."

Lin Siwei also stretched out his right hand, one old and one young, holding each other's hands tightly.

...

Early on the next morning, Coster from the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office stopped at the entrance of Jinling Hotel early. Hu Qiaoying, Zhuang Yinrong, Hu Xingzhi, and Ding Hanwen hugged and said goodbye to the people who were seeing them off one by one.

Just like the day they met, Hu Qiaoyue was wearing a bright cheongsam with her waist straight.

I only shed tears at the moment of hugging.

"See you again. In the not-too-distant future."

"I will definitely see you again."

When the atmosphere was a little sentimental, Ding Hanwen said loudly in his less proficient Mandarin: "See you soon. My cousin also wants to import barley. My cousin is in the business of our trading company, my dear cousin."

The sadness suddenly disappeared and everyone laughed.

Lin Siwei also hugged Ding Hanwen. Ding Hanwen took the opportunity to whisper: "Cousin, you have to keep an eye on that brat Gu Qia. I see little girls on the street always peeking at him."

"Haha, he should be keeping an eye on me." Lin Siwei also teased in a low voice. , and asked the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time, "Cousin, one last question, why is your surname Ding?"

His father, a foreigner, could not be surnamed Ding. Even if he had a Chinese name, he should have his mother's surname.

Who would have thought that Ding Hanwen chuckled and whispered: "Because Ding has the least strokes, I like this."

It turned out that the truth was not bloody at all, Lin Siwei couldn't help laughing and giggled.
