A few of them strolled to a somewhat special arcade.
There are some haphazardly built structures outside other buildings, but outside this arcade it is clean and tidy, without any structures.
There was only an old man in front of the house, carefully sweeping the non-existent dust.
Lin Shulan greeted the other person naturally, "Old man, the house is so clean, is there going to be a wedding at home?"
The old man looked back at them and waved his hand, "If you don't want to have a wedding, don't live here anymore. Clean it up so that this building won't be abandoned."
"You are from outside the area, right? We don't see many outsiders here nowadays.
Unlike before, there are many outsiders and foreigners in our area. "The old man said with some emotion.
Shen Chu Ning still has some knowledge of the history of arcades.
The arcades were originally invested and built by overseas Chinese after they returned from Southeast Asia. In the past, there were naturally many overseas Chinese and foreigners in this area.
Lin Shulan is not only talkative, but also likes to show off her college student daughter-in-law whenever she gets the chance.
Hearing the old man's words, he said proudly: "Old man, you have good eyesight. My daughter-in-law was admitted to university and is studying at Yangcheng University, so we followed her here."
As Lin Shulan spoke, she also pulled Shen Chuning over.
The old man gave Shen Chuning a thumbs up, “Young comrade is a college student, a cultured person.”
Shen Chu Ning smiled generously and started chatting with the old man, "Old man, your house is very nice, why don't you live in it? Are you going to sell it?"
The old man waved his hand, and just as he was about to speak, Shen Chu Ning heard a familiar voice behind him, “Uncle, didn’t we agree to wait for us to come and help you clean up?
Why are you cleaning up by yourself? ”
Shen Chuning, Lin Shulan and the others turned around and saw Wang Yunxian and Qiu Ruiping.
When little Ruirui saw the familiar grandparents, she immediately smiled like the sun, and ran towards Wang Yunxian and Qiu Ruiping on her short legs, "Hello, Grandpa Wang, Grandma Qiu!"
The little girl's crisp baby voice made Wang Yunxian and Qiu Ruiping smile gently on their faces unconsciously.
Wang Yunxian reached out and picked up Xiao Ruirui, "Xiao Ruirui, why are you here?"
Little Ruirui smiled with her eyebrows curved, "Ruirui and her mother, grandmother and aunt are going out for a walk and eating.
I ate a lot and it was delicious!
Grandpa Wang, Grandma Qiu, Ruirui will also invite you to eat later! ”
The little girl's words made Wang Yunxian and Qiu Ruiping, who were already smiling so hard that wrinkles appeared on their faces, so happy that they narrowed their eyes.
Qiu Ruiping pinched little Ruirui's nose and said, "Well, then Grandma Qiu will wait for our little Ruirui to treat us to delicious food!"
"Yeah!" Little Ruirui nodded heavily, "If one horse runs away, four horses can't catch it!"
Little Ruirui's serious look like a little adult is so adorable that it melts the hearts of all the adults.
Even the old man who was sweeping the floor nearby started to laugh, "This girl is so well behaved..."
Wang Yunxian held little Ruirui and introduced Shen Chuning, Lin Shulan and others to the old man.
The old man just happened to meet Shen Chuning and the others and chatted with them for a while. He had no intention of inviting Shen Chuning and the others in.
Now knowing that Shen Chuning is Wang Yunxian's favorite student, and Shen Chuning's teacher saved Wang Yunxian's life, he naturally quickly invited Shen Chuning and the others to sit in the house.
After sitting down and drinking tea at Uncle Wang's house, Shen Chuning and the others realized that the reason why the old man wanted to clean up the house was because he planned to return to his hometown.
Zhou Ya couldn't help but be a little surprised and asked: "Uncle Wang, this house is so nice and so big, isn't it your hometown?"
Uncle Wang laughed and said, "Haha, this is where I worked before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The owner was kind enough to give me such a house. ”
When Lin Shulan heard Uncle Wang's words, she also looked at the house and said with emotion: "At that time, they were able to give such a big house directly to the workers. The owner of your former job was really kind-hearted."
Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were not many landlords and wealthy people who could be so kind-hearted.
Not to mention giving away houses, anyone who does not deduct wages and can provide workers with enough food is considered a good person.
Many of them are like Zhou Paopi, who did not feed the farmhands enough and even imitated the crowing of a rooster in the middle of the night just to get the farmhands to start working early.
"Ah!" Uncle Wang sighed when he heard this, "It's a pity that good people don't get rewarded.
After going through those years, the family is now completely broken up.
I have been living here all these years, thinking that if any of their descendants come back, I will return the house to them, but it’s a pity—"
Uncle Wang sighed and said nothing more on this topic.
Shen Chu Ning held on to a glimmer of hope and asked, “Uncle Wang, no one from that family has returned, and you are going back to your hometown, so have you ever thought about selling this house?”
When Uncle Wang heard what Shen Chuning said, he shook his head without hesitation and said, “Girl, although no one from their family has returned yet, I still want to keep this house for their family.
If they come back one day, with this house, his descendants will at least have a place to stay.
From now on, Yunxian will take care of this house for me..."
This answer was within Shen Chu Ning's expectations.
She was not disappointed, but continued to ask: "Grandpa, do you know anyone in the nearby area who is interested in selling a house?"
