"I..." Li Desan's heart was already moved, but deep down, there was a voice telling him that he absolutely could not leave.
He will guard it until the moment he dies.
"Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, and Meimei, go and see how Daddy is doing with the fence outside the yard. Do you want your mom to come over and help?" Li Jinfeng called out to send the children away.
These days, Lu Jianguo has been helping Li Desan build a fence. Like everyone else, Li Desan will also have a yard in the future.
Li Jinfeng's initial plan was to find the team leader here and ask him to call people to help. Since the summer harvest had not yet begun, she would ask them to finish the job within a day or two and then pay the workers.
But Li Desan was unwilling to do so. He hated having other people appear near his house, so Li Jinfeng had to let Lu Jianguo build the fence alone.
However, this will likely increase the time required, to at least three to five days.
Li Jinfeng initially thought that Li Desan didn't allow anyone to get close to him because of his precious porcelain items.
But on second thought, it seems unlikely.
If Li Desan really cared about it, he wouldn't just take it out and let Tuantuan and the others play with it.
So there must be another reason.
"Grandpa, is there something on your mind? Does this place mean so much to you? So much so that... you don't even want the family happiness that is within your reach?" Li Jinfeng decided to get straight to the point.
If she and Lu Jianguo go back to Jiangbei this time, they will have to wait at least three to five years before coming here again.
No one can guarantee what the situation will be like in three to five years, not even herself.
The best case scenario is that she takes Li Desan away.
Li Desan was ready to refuse directly, just like he had done many times before, "I'm not leaving anyway!"
But this time, Li Jinfeng was not fooled as easily as in the past.
"There must be a reason for not leaving, right? Why? Is this your hometown? Do you have someone you love here? Or... is it because of money?"
Li Jinfeng found the first two unlikely.
The last point is the most likely.
She always knew that Li Desan's identity was not simple. He could take out so many good things from the Qing Dynasty at once, some of which were even royal items. Li Jinfeng more or less guessed what Li Desan did in the past.
But Li Desan didn't say it, so as his granddaughter, she naturally had to give him the greatest respect.
When Li Jinfeng mentioned money, Li Desan's eyes darkened. After a long moment, he sighed, "You...never mind. I'll have to tell you sooner or later. Go get a brick from the stove."
"Ead bricks?" Li Jinfeng looked puzzled.
"I told you to go, so just go. Why all the nonsense? Why are you getting more disobedient the older you get?"
Li Desan, who had not been arrogant for a long time, started to act arrogant again. Li Jinfeng had no choice but to go to the kitchen as he said.
Li Desan's house, like all the others in the brigade, was made of mud bricks and was not at all eye-catching.
Even when Li Jinfeng came here for the first time, she mistook it for a cowshed.
Later, she heard Li Desan say that this was not a cowshed, but a home built by someone he personally hired.
She felt strange at that time. Since she was building the house herself, why didn't she build a big blue brick and tile house? Instead, she had to build an earthen brick house that looked like a cowshed. Apart from being big, it seemed that there was nothing else left.
When they arrived at the kitchen, Li Jinfeng picked up a brick from the earthen stove and carried it to Li Desan.
When she held the brick, she had only one feeling - heavy!
