Qi Zhijun is in the army and cannot take leave often. This time he sent Meng Laosi back, and he doesn’t know if they will have the chance to meet again in the future.
So even though he couldn't show it on his face, he actually felt very uncomfortable.
In contrast, although Meng Laosi's face was not good, his expression was the most peaceful. He said to Qi Zhijun: "Let your guard take us to go through the formalities. I will give the house to Mengmeng."
"Mengmeng, your grandfather raised me, and I didn't have the time to honor him. You are his only granddaughter, so I will leave this house to you."
After Meng Laosi finished speaking, he looked at Qi Mengmeng with earnestness in his eyes.
Qi Mengmeng looked at the expressions of the people in the room. Everyone had a similar expression. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take the house. Fourth uncle, you can come and live here anytime you want."
Meng Lao Si breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the house with a hint of loneliness: "I guess I won't have a chance to come back in the future."
No one in the room refuted him, so he smiled and said, "Let's go now, in case they get off work later."
Liu Dajiang did not go with them this time, so there was more space in the car.
Before the staff got off work, Qi Mengmeng got her first real estate certificate in this era.
Qi Huilan looked at the property certificate and tears fell again.
Meng Lao Si, on the other hand, was very open-minded and looked at Qi Zhijun: "Third brother, can you help me pack my things?"
Qi Zhijun glared at him, helped him into the car, and returned to the courtyard.
Meng Laosi sat on a chair, directing Qi Zhijun to pack his things. An old lady with gray hair poked her head out of the door: "Meng Lao, are there relatives coming to your house?"
Meng Laosi turned around and said something with a smile on his face, a mocking smile on his lips: "Yes, my brother, my sister, my brother-in-law, and my niece are all here."
"I have already given this house to my niece. Her husband is a soldier. Sister Qiu, don't think about this house anymore."
After Meng Lao Si finished speaking, he turned around and pointed at the radio on the table: "Third brother, give me the radio. I need to listen to it when I get back."
Qi Zhijun took the radio down patiently.
Meng Laosi turned around and said, "Sister Qiu, why didn't you leave? Don't worry, I won't adopt your grandson. Come back."
Qi Zhijun glanced at Mrs. Qiu outside the door. He frowned and looked stern, and his military uniform scared Mrs. Qiu so much that she quickly shrank back and ran back home.
"Old Four, what's going on?" Qi Zhijun stopped packing.
"I'm just an old man with a house and money. Their family liked me and wanted me to adopt their grandson, but the old woman didn't want to. She just wanted money."
Meng Laosi said it casually, but the meaning behind his words made everyone in the room feel sad.
"Fourth brother, you should have told me earlier." Qi Huilan wiped away her tears again.
Meng Laosi was silent. He had never intended to give the things in his house to the Qiu family for free. At worst, he could return them to the country.
He had thought about sending someone to deliver a letter to Qi Huilan, but given his current health, he wasn’t sure if he could return home, so he didn’t plan to cause trouble for Qi Huilan.
If he hadn't seen Qi Mengmeng that day, he probably would never see these relatives again in this life.
"Just keep being stubborn." Qi Zhijun glared at him and started packing up as he requested.
There weren't many things in the room, probably packed up by Meng Laosi in advance.
Meng Laosi looked around the room and asked everyone to leave because he had something to say to Qi Mengmeng.
Qi Zhijun frowned: "Old Four, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Mengmeng is still a child."
Meng Lao Si looked at him and spoke weakly: "I am willing to tell my niece."
Qi Zhijun swallowed his saliva and whispered to Qi Mengmeng beside him: "Mengmeng, your fourth uncle is not sober-minded. If he says anything excessive, just listen."
Everyone heard what he said. Qi Mengmeng, who had been serving as a background, nodded and said, "Don't worry."
Although she had no feelings for Meng Laosi, she would not say anything excessive since he was dying.
After everyone went out, Meng Laosi asked them to close the door again.
Qi Mengmeng looked at Meng Laosi from outside: "Fourth uncle, what do you want to tell me?"
Meng Laosi first looked outside, then whispered, "Move that cabinet away."
Qi Mengmeng looked in the direction of his finger and obediently moved the cabinet open. There was a small bundle inside.
"Take it out, everything inside is for you." After saying this, Meng Laosi sat back in his chair.
Qi Mengmeng reached out to take it, but she misjudged the weight of the bag and failed to take it out the first time.
When she took out the bag, opened it and took a look, she was instantly blinded by the light.
There were yellow croakers of all sizes in there, probably about thirty or forty of them.
"Fourth uncle, how come you have so much gold?"
Qi Mengmeng was really surprised. Even if her fourth uncle had been a soldier before, it was impossible for him to have so much money.
Meng Lao Si smiled proudly: "Dad once said that in troubled times, gold is valuable, and in prosperous times, antiques are valuable. If antiques are not easy to carry, this thing was not valuable some time ago, so I asked someone to exchange it for it."
Qi Mengmeng looked at Meng Laosi carefully and gave him a thumbs up.
Meng Laosi's eyes were full of smiles: "I used to be the smartest among the brothers. Your grandpa said that I was the most like him. I had already coaxed your grandpa, but who knew that your dad actually coaxed your mom."
Qi Mengmeng understood what she heard. Meng Laosi thought that he could marry Qi Huilan if he could please Grandpa Qi. However, who knew that Qi Zhijun had won Qi Huilan's heart first.
"Your father is the most cunning person. You can't tell him these things." Meng Laosi said to Qi Mengmeng.
"Okay, then if you have any wishes, Fourth Uncle, I will try my best to help you realize them." Qi Mengmeng had taken so many things from the other party, so she had to do something for him.
"I just want to go back to my hometown and be buried next to your grandfather in the future." Meng Laosi no longer had any other ideas.
Although he has suffered a lot over the years, he also enjoyed a lot of blessings in his early years, and now he has no extra thoughts.
Qi Mengmeng didn't want to take his things for nothing. She thought about it carefully and asked tentatively: "Fourth Uncle, do you want to eat anything, such as bread, cake, snacks, etc...."
She is a cake chef herself, and the raw materials are already in the space. Although it is a bit troublesome to make, she has taken so many things from Meng Laosi, so she has to do something for him.
"I want to eat cake." Meng Lao Si licked his lips. "It was my birthday that year, and my father ordered me a birthday cake. I want to eat it again."
He paused for a moment when he said this, "Forget it. Birthday cakes are hard to buy, and it's unnecessary to cause trouble."
Qi Mengmeng's eyes lit up. It was just birthday cake, her strong point.
