Chapter 49: The Legacy of Old Xiucai
Chen Dayong and his son stayed in the provincial capital for five days, and lived in the hotel under the provincial party committee arranged by Secretary Huang - Guorong Hotel, which is a first-class four-star hotel in the provincial capital, and a room costs hundreds of yuan a day. During the day, under the guidance of a full-time tour guide specially arranged by the tourism bureau, the father and son visited the great scenic spots of the provincial capital, and in the evening, they went to Governor Wang's house for dinner together. Judging from the contact in the past few days, Governor Wang really likes Chen Feng very much. In the past few days, Chen Feng also improvised his calligraphy and painting skills and music skills at their house, and painted a very majestic and strange "Ink and Bamboo Picture" for Governor Wang, and wrote Zheng Banqiao's poem in cursive on it: "Insist that the green mountains are not relaxed, and the roots are in the broken rocks." Thousands of blows are still strong, and the wind blows from east to west, north and south. Governor Wang couldn't put it down and praised it, and what was painted to Chen Yufeng was a "Double Happiness", on which the two magpies were painted vividly, which also made Chen Yufeng praise for a while. On the same day, Chen Yufeng asked the two paintings to be carefully framed. In addition, Chen Feng also performed the flute solo "Gusu Xing" and the erhu solo "Erquan Reflecting the Moon" for them, although his current skills are not as good as those professionals, but fortunately, the song is very smooth from beginning to end, and the rhythm is also very good, so that the two of them are even more impressed by him. And their grandson Queen Miyuki saw this, and her heart was even more hateful. Although she has also learned piano before, but there is no perseverance, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, the level can only be regarded as average, and Chen Feng, who is three years younger than her, is really incomparable*, what is even more hateful is that his academic performance is good, even if he has good academic performance, he actually heard that his sports performance is also very good, breaking the record of the county games, although she does not admit it, but at the same time she is angry and jealous in her heart, she can't help but have a little admiration for this rural teenager from the countryside.
Five days later, because Xingwang Company has a large government project under construction recently, Zhang Chongxi and others have called several times to ask Chen Dayong to go back to preside over the overall situation. Therefore, Chen Dayong resigned from Governor Wang's family.
After Governor Wang made a little retention, seeing that Chen Dayong was resolute and not reluctant, he asked him to bring Chen Feng over to play during the Chinese New Year. Chen Dayong couldn't refuse, so he had to agree, if Governor Wang didn't say this, when he celebrated the New Year, he would at most come to visit the New Year, and the meaning would be enough. Now it seems that Governor Wang loves his son so much that he is even a little jealous of him as a father, and it is no wonder that his granddaughter is so hostile to his son. After this trip to the provincial capital, the friendship between the two families is settled. Chen Dayong is mixed about this. Every time he comes to Governor Wang's house, he feels uncomfortable and under too much pressure, and he is afraid that if he says the wrong thing and does the wrong thing, it will make them disgusted, and there is the granddaughter of Governor Wang, although she didn't say anything bad after being punished last time, but every time she faced their father and son, she didn't have a good face, if it wasn't for Governor Wang's graciously retained, he would have planned to leave on the same day.
After returning home, Chen Dayong immediately put himself into work, and Chen Feng immediately devoted himself to training.
But when the summer vacation was about to end, something suddenly happened that made Chen Dayong's family sad, the old Xiucai Chen Yusheng suddenly fainted at home, and when Chen Dayong's family learned the news and hurriedly sent him to the county hospital, he had no skills and unfortunately passed away.
Chen Feng didn't leave any impression on him because his biological grandfather died early, and he actually regarded Lao Xiucai, his godfather, as his biological grandfather in his heart, not to mention that in the past few years, his godfather has taught him carefully and taught him some principles of life, which has benefited him a lot.
When Chen Dayong's family finished Lao Xiucai's funeral and sorted out Lao Xiucai's relics, they found a will and a stack of money in his desk.
The content of the will is mainly to thank Chen Dayong's family for taking care of him in the past few years, so that he, an old man who has been lonely for most of his life, can feel the warmth of the family in his old age, he has been lonely all his life, and he has no regrets before he dies to recognize Chen Feng, a well-behaved grandson. He told Chen Dayong and his wife that Chen Feng had few opinions, and he would become an atmosphere in the future, so that they should not control him too strictly, let him develop freely, and he would be able to shine on the lintel of the Chen family when he grew up. In the end, he left his property and the rest of the money to Chen Feng, his godgrandson. There is not much money, it is more than 5,000 yuan, mainly Chen Dayong's family has been filial piety to him over the years, in addition to his daily living expenses, he has saved it for Chen Feng, as the annual New Year's money in the future, the house is not much, there are two low tile houses with a history of several decades, but including this low tile house is a large courtyard, which is the old mansion of the landlord before liberation, with the changes of history, the entire large courtyard, only these two are still intact low tile houses, and the rest are now dilapidated, the front yard and the back of the yard are weeds, but this big yard belongs to the category of homestead, adding up to the size of a football field。 This is after Chen Yusheng was "rehabilitated" that year, the relevant government departments took special care of him, the lonely and widowed "landlord young master", and returned the old house of their family to him. Chen Yusheng has no children, no daughters and no descendants, originally after he passed away, the homestead of this large courtyard would be taken back by the village committee, but now there is more of this will, as well as the identity of Chen Feng's grandson, plus Chen Dayong's current strength, of course no one in the village gossips. This landlord's old mansion, which is not small, was naturally inherited by Chen Feng.
Chen Feng knows that the value of this homestead has not been paid enough attention to by everyone, and when real estate boils across the country like boiling water in the future, the value of these homesteads cannot be underestimated. Chen Feng remembered that in his previous life, because his family wanted to make up for his father's medical expenses, they sold part of the family's still empty homestead, and the area was only three or four cents at most, and it was actually sold for 80,000 yuan. If calculated at this price, the homesteads left by his godfather will be worth millions of yuan in the next few years.
Chen Dayong and his wife now also look down on this landlord's old house, because its location is too partial, now most of the houses in the village are concentrated on the road in the west of the village, but this old house is located at the east end of the village, surrounded by some old houses, the people inside are basically empty, behind the collapsed courtyard wall is a large area of farmland, which looks very desolate. If it weren't for the old man's heart, they really didn't care about this old mansion. What they don't know is that in another seven or eight years, there will be another highway from the neighboring county from east to west, all the way to the county national highway, and soon thereafter, the east of the village began to build a large number of buildings, but it is more prosperous and lively than the west of the village, and the price of land here will of course rise.
In addition to these, Chen Yusheng also left some books, calligraphy and paintings, which were naturally left to Chen Feng. When Chen Dayong and his wife were packing up Chen Yusheng's relics, Chen Feng also came over.
He was temporarily separated from his parents and came to the low room that was used as a study by the old man, where he used to receive the old man's traditional Chinese culture education. The collection of books inside can be said to be very rich, full of a large bookshelf more than two meters high and five or six meters long against the wall, most of which are old books that the old man has picked up from the tattered ones, and there are almost no new books. And those calligraphy and paintings, most of them are the old man's own handwriting, but there are also some that he picked up from various channels, and can get into the eyes of the old man, an old talent, should also have some collection value.
The books on the shelves, Chen Feng has also been reading the books in the past few years, but the calligraphy and paintings, especially the calligraphy and paintings collected by the old man, the old man has always been very precious, but he has not read them carefully.
Chen Feng knew that these calligraphy and paintings were hidden in the small cabinet on the far left under the bookcase, but when he walked over and saw that it was locked by a large copper lock, where to find the key at this time? After a little hesitation, he ran outside the house, took a stone, and knocked open the large copper lock with a history of several decades in three or two clicks.
There is not much space inside, there are more than a dozen calligraphy and paintings, Chen Feng took them out, put them on the desk, and opened them one by one to view, most of them are calligraphy, only two are paintings, one is a landscape, one is an Arhat picture, there is no inscription on it, it looks ordinary, Chen Feng's current Cheng dù really can't see their goodness.
After reading it in a hurry, he casually found a piece of rope and rolled the calligraphy and paintings around and wrapped them, ready to take them home as a souvenir. In addition, he picked out some books that he was interested in on the bookshelf and found a plastic bag to take away.
After returning home, he brought the books and calligraphy and paintings ready to be put in the study on the second floor of the house, holding the calligraphy and painting in one hand, holding the books in the other, when the stairs were halfway through, the calligraphy and paintings in his hand accidentally touched the railing, and immediately several calligraphy and paintings fell straight downstairs from the stairs.
Chen Feng had no choice but to put down the things he was holding for the time being, and ran downstairs to pick up the fallen calligraphy and paintings, and when he picked up one of them, he found that the painting shaft on one side was broken. When Chen Feng picked it up and checked it, he saw a scroll stuffed into the broken scroll.
