Niu Liye's eyes welled up with tears, and he knelt on the ground, unwilling to get up: "Auntie, I deserve to kneel like this."
It's my fault for not handling family relationships well, which has caused you and your uncle to suffer!
I'm not here to kidnap you and bring you back with me!
I have a general understanding of some things, and I can understand your thoughts!
I fully agree with and support you, and at the same time, please give me a chance!
The old woman with the mole was completely confused. She could understand the first part of what was said, but she didn't understand what opportunity was being given for the rest.
Seeing that Niu Liye had made a firm commitment, Lu Zhiye walked over to him, grabbed him with his large hand, and pulled him up!
Have you eaten yet?
The old lady with the mole patted her forehead: "Yes, yes, Liye, have you eaten?"
I'll make you a bowl of shredded pork noodles!
Niu Liye was about to say no, but his stomach started growling loudly!
The words of refusal were on the tip of my tongue, but I swallowed them back!
While Auntie with the mole was cooking, Niu Liye got straight to the point and said, "I'll pay for this house for you, Auntie!"
I've earned some money in the last two years, which is a way of repaying my aunt's kindness!
"Brother Ye, once you've found a place you like, I'll pay for it!"
Sitting next to him, Jian Nanxing nodded with great satisfaction.
She originally thought that Old Liu's family was just a bunch of ungrateful fools, but she was wrong!
That night, Niu Liye didn't leave either. It wasn't that he didn't want to leave, but Old Liu, who was drunk, grabbed Niu Liye's leg and howled all night long!
She recounted all the hardships and grievances she had endured over the years!
He vented all the anger he had been holding in at home.
Hearing this, Niu Liye felt heartbroken and even more disgusted that his mother had done something inhuman.
Niu Liye felt guilty and worried all night, but when Old Liu woke up the next morning, he couldn't remember anything!
He was somewhat surprised to see Niu Liye sleeping in the same room as him, wondering when Niu Liye would arrive.
Because the old lady with the mole was eager to move out, or perhaps it's because Chinese people have a strong attachment to their homes!
Especially during the Chinese New Year, nobody wants to spend it at someone else's house!
So on the 29th of the year, they rushed off to look at houses on the other side!
Jian Nanxing thought for a moment and gave a general location: "There are many small courtyards in that area. In the past, two or three families would live in one courtyard!"
Because it's close to the school, the price is a bit higher!
However, special circumstances occurred later, and many people were taken away. Some people, fearing that they would be implicated, also quietly moved away!
So there should be some vacant houses in that area, or at the very least, someone wanting to sell their property. You should ask around about the prices!
Everyone doubted Jian Nanxing's statement. After all, the two places were not close. How could Jian Nanxing, an old lady who had lived on this side for many years, know about the situation on the other side?
None of the people present knew that their family used to be known as Gu Bancheng!
It means that their family owns houses in most parts of the city, so they naturally have a clear understanding of these things!
Lu Zhiye drove the car, taking Auntie with the mole, Old Liu, and Niu Liye in that direction.
The twins stayed at Lu Zhiye's house!
The two children initially felt insecure, but children are children after all. When they were surrounded by so many little kids to play with, they quickly forgot about these feelings!
Before the old lady with the mole left, the twins only said one thing: "Go quickly and come back quickly!"
This left the woman with the mole both amused and exasperated, as she had only learned this little idiom on the spot!
Lu Zhiye can drive a car much faster than Niu Liye can ride a bicycle.
We arrived here in just over 20 minutes. Seeing the long-lost alley, the old lady with the mole smiled genuinely!
She has lived in this place for almost two years, and she knows the situation of these four or five alleys very well.
At that moment, I actually felt like I was coming home!
Lu Zhiye followed the place Jian Nanxing had mentioned, but it was not as bustling as where Niu Liye and the others lived!
The house was in good condition, but as soon as they got out of the car, a lot of people's eyes were on them!
The woman with the mole rubbed her arms and said, "Why do I feel like what Sister Jian said isn't very reliable?"
Although this place is four alleys away from Liye's house, the situation here feels very different from that one!
I'm not good with words, so I can't really describe exactly how it felt.
Niu Liye then added, "Desolate, not very populated!"
"Yes, yes, yes, that's the feeling. Even though there are a lot of people sitting at the door, I always feel that their eyes are lifeless!"
Unlike where we live, there's more laughter and joy.
Even though there wasn't much time in between, the feelings were completely different!
Lu Zhiye looked around and discovered that this area was actually inhabited by elderly people!
Occasionally a few children would chatter, but they all stayed in their own homes and didn't come out!
It's rare to see young people!
Lu Zhiye pondered for a moment, then took out a cigarette from his pocket, walked up to the two old men, and handed them two with a smile!
"Grandpa, are you playing chess here?"
The two old men lifted their eyelids slightly, but quickly turned their attention back to the chess game, completely ignoring Lu Zhiye.
Lu Zhiye wasn't annoyed. He turned and walked to the other side, where two children were squatting by the door playing with pebbles!
He pulled a handful of candy from his pocket: "Kids, do you want some candy?"
Even ordinary children can't help but salivate when they see candy!
After all, sugar was a rare commodity in those days!
Unexpectedly, the two children gathered up the pebbles, looked at Lu Zhiye warily, and then ran into the house, slamming the door shut.
Niu Liye rarely saw Master Lu suffer setbacks, and his previous anxiety disappeared, replaced by joy!
He always felt a distance between himself and Lu Zhiye, as if they could never go back to the way they were before!
Just now, Niu Liye felt as if he had returned to the time in Dahe Village.
He rummaged in his pocket and only found a pack of cigarettes. He awkwardly touched the tip of his nose.
Upon seeing an old lady smoking a pipe, Niu Liye's eyes darted around, and he quickly stepped forward: "Grandma, your pipe smells strangely good, and it has quite a kick. Did you buy the tobacco from someone?"
Can you recommend some cigarettes? Ugh, these old cigarettes are so weak, they have no power at all!
As Niu Liye spoke, he took out the Daqianmen cigarettes he was holding!
The old lady's eyes lit up, and she took out a tobacco pouch from her waist: "Here, this is the kind of tobacco, nothing special!"
But you're absolutely right about one thing: these cigarettes don't have any aftereffects!
As the old lady spoke, she reached out to grab the cigarette from Niu Liye's hand.
Niu Liye quickly tucked the cigarette into his pocket, not missing the regret in the old lady's eyes!
Lu Zhiye understood Niu Liye's meaning, and at this moment, he thought more highly of Niu Liye!
No wonder he can partner with those second-generation rich kids in business; he's really improved a lot over the years!
