Chapter 279: The younger man is very fierce and crazy (20)
From a distance, an old man with a hunched back came out from the inner room, holding a bowl of leftovers in his hand and poured it into the chicken coop.
As soon as the rice was poured in, the hens swarmed over and gathered into a ball.
The old man was quite old, a little blind and hard of hearing, and did not notice the girl carrying a suitcase not far away.
Shen Yuan waved his hand and shouted
"Grandma! I'm back!"
—
The steaming hot meal was served on the table. Looking at the big chicken leg dripping with red oil, Shen Yuan secretly reached out his hand.
Pop.
The back of my hand was hit by chopsticks.
"Wash your hands first."
Chen Yuan made a sound of grievance and ran to the kitchen obediently.
When she came out again, Grandma Shen had already served her rice, with two large chicken legs in the bowl.
In order to make sure Shen Yuan had enough to eat, Grandma Shen specially killed a hen and picked a lot of vegetables from the vegetable garden to make a large table full of them.
She wore a pair of reading glasses and listened patiently to Shen Yuan telling her about the interesting things that happened at school.
No bullying, no exclusion, no calculation.
In Shen Yuan's story, she is just an ordinary and happy girl.
These days, Grandma Shen has been worried that A Yuan would not be able to adapt to the big city and would be ostracized and bullied. Now she can finally put her mind at ease.
"It's enough to know that Ayuan is happy. Now grandma doesn't have to worry."
Shen Yuan smiled and bit off a piece of chicken thigh
"By the way, grandma, I have something for you."
She put down her chopsticks, took out a card from her schoolbag, and handed it to Grandma Shen.
"What's this?"
Shen Yuan pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and said softly
"Dad's compensation, 1.2 million, is all here."
Grandma Shen was stunned, the cheerful expression on her face disappeared, she put down the dishes in her hands with a heavy face and asked.
"Did Chen Man give it to you?"
"hold head high."
"Don't lie to grandma, how did you get the money back?"
Given Chen Man's personality, how could she possibly give so much money to A Yuan?
"Oh, grandma, don't worry about how I got it back. I didn't steal or rob it. I got it back with my own ability."
"You are old now, and I still need to study. I can't come back to see you often. You can keep this money for your retirement."
Looking at the bank card on the table, Grandma Shen had a complicated expression. She stood up and stuffed the card into Shen Yuan's palm.
"Grandma, don't do it. I'm halfway through life, why would I need so much money? On the contrary, Ayuan is going to college soon, and there are many places to spend money. You should keep it for yourself."
Shen Yuan couldn't persuade Grandma Shen, and was afraid of getting hurt, so she had to compromise temporarily.
She put the card back into her pocket and continued eating the food in her bowl.
Grandma Shen looked at Shen Yuan’s quiet face, and sighed with some helplessness and some heartache.
It was she, the useless old woman, who made A Yuan argue with Shen Man about the compensation.
Grandma Shen's eyes were a little hot, and tears oozed from her cloudy eyeballs.
Chen Yuan felt that she was sad, but she did not say anything to comfort her. Instead, she quietly finished the food in the bowl.
Finally, Shen Yuan lowered his eyes and said softly
"Grandma, let's use this money to build a grave for Dad."
Grandma Liu raised her head suddenly, her pale lips trembling, and it took her a long time to find her voice.
"good."
—
After the original owner's father died, Shen Man thought that everything here was a burden to her, so she left with Shen Yuan without any regrets and went to the prosperous Kyoto.
Grandma Shen is just an old woman who has no ability to make money. She usually relies on raising chickens and growing vegetables to support herself. How could she have the spare money to buy a cemetery for the original owner's father?
She went to the crematorium alone and retrieved the ashes belonging to the original owner's father.
A small box is still placed in his former bedroom.
I burn a stick of incense every day, and I never stop.
Although Linjiang City is not as big as Kyoto, it can be considered a second-tier city.
A cemetery with good feng shui, a good location and ample lighting will cost at least around 50,000 yuan.
Chen Yuan contacted the local legal cemetery seller and made an appointment to visit the grave the next morning.
Grandma Shen is in poor health and has difficulty walking, so Shen Yuan doesn't let her go.
Although Grandma Shen wanted to go and see it in person, she didn’t want to cause trouble for Shen Yuan, so she just waited at home.
Seeing Shen Yuan wearing a thick plush coat and a scarf and getting on the back seat of a taxi, Grandma Shen wiped her moist eyes with some heartache.
If Ayuan's father were still alive, he would definitely be very relieved.
His A Yuan has grown up.
—
It had been raining and the road to the cemetery was covered in mud. Taxis couldn't go up and had to stop at the foot of the mountain.
Cemetery sellers have been waiting for a long time.
"Miss Shen Yuan, right? I'm Xiao Liu from the company. I'll take you to see the tomb this time."
"Hello."
With his hands clasped together, Xiao Liu carefully observed Shen Yuan's clothes and appearance. He looked very young, no more than twenty years old.
He is still in college, but he came out alone to visit the graves. I guess there is not much people at home.
Xiao Liu withdrew his gaze almost invisibly and asked respectfully
"I wonder what kind of cemetery you prefer, young lady? We can carefully select it for you."
"Traditional Chinese style is fine, and the location and lighting must be good."
"So what's your budget, miss?"
"About fifty thousand."
The cemeteries in better locations around Linjiang are probably all priced at this price. Chen Yuan was afraid that the seller would take advantage of her young age and ask for a high price, so she lowered the price in advance.
After knowing Shen Yuan's request, Xiao Liu took her to the mountain to see the tomb.
After looking for nearly two hours, he still couldn't find a suitable cemetery. Either it was already reserved or it didn't meet Chen Yuan's requirements.
Knowing that he couldn't go back to Kyoto today, Chen Yuan called Fu Jinan.
"Hello?"
The voice on the other end was a little hoarse, and the sound of DJs could be heard from time to time, sounding like someone was in a bar.
It was too noisy, and Fu Jinan couldn't hear Chen Yuan's voice clearly. He gave Xu Ziyan a look, signaling them to speak more quietly.
The DJing and rock-paper-scissors sounds stopped, and Fu Jinan finally released his hand that was covering the speaker.
"Fu Jinan? Are you outside?"
"What's wrong? You came back early? Wait, I'll pick you up."
Fu Jinan glanced at his phone and saw that it was ten o'clock in the morning. He ignored the gossipy looks of Xu Ziyan and the others and got up to get his coat.
"No."
Fu Jinan froze, put his coat down, and sat back in his seat.
"Um?"
"I won't be back today. I haven't finished my work yet."
Fu Jinan leaned back in his chair, glared at Xu Ziyan warningly, and whispered
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No, I can handle it myself. If I can't come back in time tomorrow, please ask the teacher for leave on my behalf."
The girl's voice was gentle, mixed with a slight sound of electricity, coming out of the receiver.
The tone was familiar, as if he was talking to a friend.
Compared with the deliberate approach and flattery when they first met, Fu Jinan prefers this state.
He curled the corners of his lips slightly: "Okay."
After the call was hung up, Xu Ziyan and the others seemed to have smelled something and gathered around.
