Chapter 1436 Xi Bao Goes to Beijing 2
After finishing work the next day, Jin Laoqi took the bus here to ask people around for details.
When he learned that the family of Army Commander Lu Jiang of the Wansui Army lived in the house close to the compound and often interacted with the compound, unlike other families who stayed away from the compound, he almost lost his last few teeth in shock.
It can be basically confirmed that his surname is Lu.
What surprised him was not this. When he saw Feng Qingxue, he knew he had not recognized the wrong person. What surprised him was Lu Jiang's status.
"Commander, commander, you've become a commander at such a young age, amazing, amazing, you're worthy of being the descendant of my old lady." Jin Laoqi muttered to himself. It was enough for him to know who it was. He had no intention of trying to establish a relationship with the other party now. "Maybe it's really the blessing of our ancestors. I just came to see the old house that has changed hands several times. I actually fulfilled my wish and found the person I was looking for."
After a few days, he still couldn't suppress his excitement, and took time out at night to look for Qiao San. It was icy and snowy, and the manure pit was sealed, so there was no stench spreading in the air. The two old men ate the expensive pork heads they got from the black market and drank Erguotou, feeling very refreshed.
"Do you remember the couple you introduced to me to exchange things?" Jin Laoqi spoke first.
Qiao San thought for a moment, "I remember that couple was young and kind, and they were generous with the food and other things they gave. They were not the kind of people who would haggle over pennies. Back then, I only got a few kilograms of coarse grains for a gold bar, and they gave me several times more. I really want to trade with them again. I remember you said they were the descendants of your great aunt, how could it be such a coincidence."
"It's no coincidence!" Jin Laoqi took a sip of wine, "This is blood relationship, which made us meet in the vast sea of people."
Qiao San nodded and smiled, "You are alone, without any descendants. It is fate that you can find relatives who are separated by generations. It's a pity that they only left you a surname, but didn't even let you meet them."
Jin Laoqi didn't say that he already knew who the other party was. He had no intention of adding trouble and danger to the Lu family. Instead, he looked at Qiao San with a squint and said, "So what if you have descendants? They are all over the world, but they have cut off all ties with you. Aren't you reduced to the same state as me?"
"So what if we're no longer related? If we're no longer related, we're no longer Mr. Qiao's biological child. We still have to pass on my Qiao bloodline. They can't possibly remove my bones and return them to my father, right? I've been through all kinds of things in my life, and I've let it go a long time ago." Qiao San smiled confidently, "Seventh Brother, you have to live well and wait and see. If I can live longer, and live to the age when gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings can become popular, then with the treasures in my hands, I'll have a group of filial sons and grandsons to take care of me in my old age and see me to the end of my life."
Jin Laoqi was stunned, "You mean those children who have severed ties with you?"
"Of course, who else could it be besides them? When I was not in trouble, they started to plot against my family business, trying to curry my favor and get a bigger share of the property. Time will not change their true colors. So, I have to live well. Changes of dynasties have often happened since ancient times, but the value of jewelry and antiques will not decrease. Even if it falls to a low point for a while, it will eventually soar to the sky."
After listening to Qiao San's words, Jin Laoqi seemed to be thinking about something and didn't speak for a long time.
"Why don't you speak?" Qiao San asked.
Jin Laoqi said, "I was thinking, gold is the most in-demand item on the black market, should I just use the gold to exchange for food in the future? I'll save the jewelry and antiques first, maybe I can meet my old aunt's descendants, it's better to pass them on than to sell them to outsiders."
