Chapter 10
When he heard that it was his uncle who asked his family to install it, Gu Jiashu did not refuse.
He chuckled, scratched his head and said, "Then I'll go thank uncle. By the way, brother, don't worry about uncle's place. I'll find a car tomorrow to help him move everything in one go. He doesn't have much stuff, just leave it to me, don't worry about it."
After seeing off Gu Jiashu and the master who made doors and windows, people who did waterproofing and installed insulation came soon, and the young couple started to get busy again.
While the two were busy telling the master their requirements, Shen Cong's phone rang.
She glanced at the caller ID and said to her husband, "Dad."
After saying that, he answered the phone.
"Congcong, have you settled the loan issue?" Gu Zhengchu asked on the other end of the phone.
"It's agreed that the people from the evaluation company will be here soon. Gu Kai and I are waiting for them."
"Xiao Kai, can you wait by yourself? I want you to come over and help me move some things."
“Moving things…” Shen Cong was a little hesitant.
She glanced at the people standing nearby, walked to the corner, and whispered, "Dad, we checked out of the dormitory this morning, and our things are all in the space. We haven't had time to vacate them yet, and there's really no room for anything else."
"No need for that. You drive over, we each have one car, and we move the important things first. Jiashu will find someone to take care of the rest tomorrow. Let Xiaokai take care of the things at home first. I have something to talk to your parents about, so we can't be too late."
Hearing what his father-in-law said, Shen Cong could no longer shirk: “Okay, Dad, then I’ll go over now.”
After leaving the key to the house in the civil servants' community to Gu Kai, Shen Cong gave another instruction and drove to the old house of the Gu family.
Before I parked the car, I saw a piece of printed white paper stuck on the closed balcony door. It read: "The clinic is temporarily closed due to relocation."
There were several people standing at the door, I didn't know if they were neighbors or patients, they were huddled together, pointing at the door and whispering.
Shen Cong turned the steering wheel and drove in through the main gate of the community.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw that it was almost tidy.
All the small decorations placed outside were put away, a few large bags were added to the table in the outer room, and two suitcases were standing against the wall.
In addition, there are boxes of books that have already been packed.
Look at the things here...
Didn’t the old man get much sleep last night?
However, the old man seems to be in good spirits and looks more energetic than myself!
Chen Cong muttered to himself while saying to Gu Zhengchu, "Dad, why are you in such a hurry? I'll finish packing everything after I clear out the space. It's so tiring to take all these things in and out!"
"It's okay." Gu Zhengchu waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Come in with me." He said and walked into the pharmacy first.
Shen Cong quickly followed in.
As soon as he entered the pharmacy, Chen Cong couldn't help but take a deep breath: "What a nice smell! Wow, why are all these pots of flowers blooming?!"
There were two pots of flowers on the table in the pharmacy, one jasmine and the other gardenia.
When Chencong came in yesterday, none of them even had buds yet. In just one day, they all blossomed and even the leaves became shiny.
"Is this an elixir?" She came closer curiously and stared at it for a long time.
Gu Zhengchu pointed at the two pots of flowers and said to her, "Don't worry about the other things. Put these two pots of flowers in your space. I'm afraid they will get bumped if left outside."
After that, he hesitated again and asked, "Can your space hold living things?"
"Plants can, but animals can't. I've tried." Shen Cong replied.
Only then did Gu Zhengchu breathe a sigh of relief.
Then he started to urge her again and again: "Hurry up, hurry up, finish packing and leave early, I really have something to talk to your parents about."
So I had to travel such a long distance just for these two pots of flowers?
Chen Cong couldn't help but stare at the two "darlings" again and take a closer look.
But when I looked again, I didn't see anything abnormal except that it was growing more vigorously.
Seeing how anxious the old man was, she didn't ask too much.
Chen Cong put the flowers into the space, looked at the small medicine cabinets, and suggested: "Dad, I'll take out our clothes, quilts and sundries, and let Jiashu move them together tomorrow, and then put this medicine cabinet and Chinese medicine in it, okay?
Let's be careful. Although there aren't many people living in that neighborhood, it's best not to let anyone see these drugs."
Gu Zhengchu nodded.
He watched Chen Cong shuffling the things in the space back and forth, and after a while he asked thoughtfully: "Cong Cong, is it possible to expand your space a little bit? Do you need to prepare something for you in advance?"
"It can definitely be expanded." Shen Cong said firmly.
"My space appeared relatively late. Many people had already developed superpowers before me. Although no one understands why this happened and what the principle is, who has the strongest superpower and whose superpower has improved has always been a favorite topic for discussion.
But there is no unified answer on how to improve. Those who have really improved would rather others than them, and they will not reveal it casually.
I think it has something to do with one's physique. The reason why my ability is so useless is probably because I was too weak at that time."
Having said that, there was a hint of shame in his gloomy expression.
At that time, she was the only one left in the family, struggling on the brink of starvation every day.
For her, it made no difference whether she had the ability of space or not. She didn't even know if she could survive at that time, let alone the energy to think about the issue of improvement.
So much so that half a year has passed, and the space is still as big as when it first appeared, without any improvement at all.
"If it's a physical problem, don't be afraid, we will definitely find a way." Chen Cong's words obviously boosted Gu Zhengchu's spirits.
A smile appeared on his usually serious face.
"Congcong, do you know why this flower blooms?" Gu Zhengchu tapped the table with his fingers, actually keeping the topic in suspense.
Chen Cong naturally wanted to show support to the old man, not to mention that she was originally very curious: "Why?"
"Because of your book."
"That book? The little booklet with the vein diagram?"
"Yes. I flipped through it yesterday and found that the book should introduce a method of strengthening the body. I tried it when I had nothing to do at night. I didn't expect it to be really useful!"
"Kung Fu? Is it the same Qigong that my father practices?" Chen Cong was a little bit unbelieving.
You have to know that the booklet originally belonged to the old man, and he gave it to me before he died.
If it really was a method to strengthen the body, then why didn't he practice it at that time?
His health was already very poor at that time.
Before the old man died, he kept muttering, "It's too late, it's too late." Although she didn't know what exactly it was too late for, Chen Cong couldn't believe that the thing that once made the old man so regretful could be solved in just one night?
Seeing Chen Cong's face full of disbelief, Gu Zhengchu glared at her: "What do you mean it's the same as your father's qigong? He just practices it for fun, how can it be the same?
"Go, go, go, I won't talk to you, I'll go talk to your parents. Don't waste time here, work quickly and leave!"
Seeing that the old man was about to lose his temper, Shen Cong swallowed back the question that was on the tip of his tongue.
She packed up her things as quickly as possible, moved the large and small bags outside and the old man into the car, and returned to Yingshui Village where her parents lived.
It was already past two in the afternoon when the two arrived at the community. It was very quiet along the way and there was not even a single person in sight.
But when I arrived at the door of the villa, I found that the house was very lively.
Several workers were carrying tools and making various measurements in the yard, while Father Shen and a middle-aged man in work clothes and glasses were standing on the roof of the fourth floor. The two of them were gesturing and talking about something.
No need to ask, these are the workers who are coming to do the renovation.
Seeing their car, Cheng Ru hurried out to greet them.
She shook the water off her hands and asked, "Why are you here now? It's so hot! Have you eaten?"
"It's a bit of a stretch on the way. Mom, don't worry about the meal for now. I'll help my dad move his things upstairs first."
"Let's all live on the second floor. It's easier for everyone to look after each other, and it also saves energy." Cheng Ru lowered her voice when she said the last sentence.
The three of them moved the things to the upstairs room together.
Although it is very convenient for Chen Cong to take things from the space, it still requires mental strength to support it.
Taking a small amount is not a problem, but if you repeatedly take a whole house of furniture and appliances in and out in a short period of time, the consumption will be huge.
After taking out all the things in the space and putting them back in place, Chen Cong's face turned very pale.
Seeing her like this, Gu Zhengchu asked, "Do you have jade at home? Jade jewelry will do."
"Jade?" Chen Cong and Cheng Ru, mother and daughter, were both stunned.
"If you have any, bring some to me. Bring me seven first. The shape doesn't matter, just good quality."
Although I don’t know what my father-in-law wants the jade for?
But looking at his serious expression, you can tell he is not joking.
Shen Cong looked at his mother guiltily, then shook his head desperately: "I don't have it, I sold all my jewelry."
Cheng Ru glanced at her with disdain: "I know you don't have any. Those things you have are just fakes, none of them are real. There's no point in not selling them."
Chen Cong really didn't like to wear jade jewelry. Although the pieces of jewelry he had before were all from big brands and worth a lot of money, they were all inlaid with artificial gems, not real ones.
I guess it would be useless even if I kept it.
Cheng Ru went out to look through her family assets.
Chen Cong curiously approached his father-in-law and whispered, "Dad, what do you want the jade for? Is it because of that book? Is there any martial arts secrets in it, or a seven-star formation or something like that?"
Seeing her eyes wide open with a curious look like a baby, a smile appeared on Gu Zhengchu's face.
He nodded: "It really is a secret book."
"No way?" Chen Cong was extremely shocked.
She herself didn't even know how many times she had read that book, so how come she didn't realize it was still a treasure?
"Dad, can you take it out and show it to me again?" She suddenly became energetic.
"Wait a minute, wait until your mother brings the things."
Cheng Ru came over after a long time, and Shen Jianyi came in with her.
It seems that the measurement masters have all left.
Apparently she had already told her husband about her need for jade. As soon as Shen Jianyi entered the house, he asked, "Old Gu, what do you want that for? Your sister-in-law isn't the type who likes to dress up, and there aren't many of these things at home. How about I go out and buy some now?"
And Cheng Ru also looked embarrassed.
"Brother Gu, I've been looking for a long time, but I only have a pair of bracelets and two jade pendants. I bought the jade pendants for Tongtong and Shanshan, but I didn't have time to give them to them. I really don't have anything else. Is there anything else besides jade? I have a set of gemstone earrings and a necklace here, can they be used as a substitute?"
