Chapter 376 Lao Deng [Request for full order]
The Qian family got their start by relying on relocation, and later became big real estate speculators. Lu Yang originally thought that Qian Youyou’s father and mother should live in the center of Pengcheng.
But I finally got there.
However, Lu Yang discovered that Qian Youyou drove the car further and further away. Gradually, there were no tall buildings around and farmland began to appear. It was obvious that they had left the city center and reached the suburbs, the edge of the urban-rural fringe.
Qian Youyou gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands.
Looking ahead, he said to himself while driving: “My father has a quirk. He doesn’t like tall buildings in the city. He is not used to living in concrete buildings. He says that living in such buildings for a long time will make people lose their human touch.”
“In the past, we had no choice. The government expropriated our land and only gave us a small piece of residential land next to the hardened cement road, and asked all the relocated households to build a community together.”
“My dad said that he couldn’t sleep well during those years. He felt like he was living in a cement coffin and often felt suffocated.”
“He was a soldier and killed many people. He went to the battlefield and fought against both the Japanese and the foreigners. He said he had battlefield emergency syndrome. He was not used to the living conditions during those years and had nightmares all night long. He also said that my mother was almost strangled to death by him once.”
Having said that, Qian Youyou paused for a moment.
She seemed to remember some things from her childhood.
“I was still young and ignorant at the time. I didn’t know what battlefield stress syndrome was. I only knew that my mother seemed to be afraid of my father sometimes. But when my father took a nap, she would often stand by him carefully and not let us kids get close to him.”
“At that time, I felt very aggrieved and thought my mom was trying to steal my dad from me. Later, I gradually understood what battlefield stress syndrome and madness in a rage meant. My mom wasn’t trying to steal my dad from me, but was protecting me from unintentional harm from my dad.”
Lu Yang listened intently and asked subconsciously: “What happened next?”
Battlefield stress syndrome, there are many different explanations for this thing in later generations.
The way of expression varies greatly depending on the individual and the stimulation received on the battlefield.
But they usually have one thing in common. Soldiers suffering from battlefield stress syndrome usually appear to be very violent, anxious, sensitive to noise, and suffer from insomnia. However, they will appear to be claustrophobic in quiet environments and have violent tendencies from time to time. Moreover, the onset of the disease is usually due to adverse external stimuli.
Lu Yang made a rough estimate in his mind. If what Qian Youyou said was true, then her father should be no less than 30 years old now. As for her mother, her cheap brother, Xiao Jun, is already in his early 18s this year, but according to his own statement, his mother was just 50 years old when she was pregnant with him. Adding the two together, doesn’t it mean that Qian Youyou’s mother is at most years old this year?
Wow, he is indeed a rich man. He is such a good old cow eating young grass!
Lu Yang roughly analyzed why Qian Youyou’s father was already in his 30s, almost an old man in his s, but still hadn’t married, and finally even married a woman who brought a baby to the house.
There is a man who used to be a soldier and had killed people. He has an anxious personality and a bad temper. He easily panics when facing unfamiliar environments and he even kills people in his dreams. He cannot stand the slightest stimulation. If you are not an ordinary woman, how could you dare to marry such a man?
It is obvious that Qian Youyou’s mother must be extraordinary.
Lu Yang had to give them a thumbs up.
Qian Youyou didn’t look away and didn’t notice Lu Yang’s strange expression. She continued, “After our family became rich, my father said that he wanted to live more freely and unrestrainedly. He didn’t want to continue living in this concrete coffin in the city. He also said frankly that if he continued to live there, he would definitely go crazy and maybe even become a real mental patient.
My mother said at that time: How do you want to be free?
My dad said that he was a cook when he was in the army. The happiest time was when he was cooking. Not only could he sneak some food, but no matter how good the food was, he would be praised by his brothers in the company. Otherwise, the next meal would be even worse.
My mother said, “Why don’t we open a small restaurant? You can be the chef and I can be the waiter.”
My dad almost jumped up and said, “Really? That’s great. I’ll go tell my comrades to come over for dinner when they’re free. It’s been so many years, they must miss my cooking.”
I still remember that day, my father’s smile, as innocent as a child’s.
Later on, my parents bought this piece of land in the countryside and built a small farmhouse on it. It is far away from the center of Pengcheng City, away from the hustle and bustle of a big city, and the transportation is still convenient. My parents have lived here for more than ten years.
In the past ten years, few people have been able to find this place and eat here. Only a very small number are my father’s comrades-in-arms, and friends and family members introduced by his comrades-in-arms, so you’d better not look around. When I ask you to follow me, just follow me. “
Lu Yang was listening with great interest, and at the end, he actually discovered that there was something about himself in the story.
He immediately said unhappily, “What’s wrong with me? I am the most disciplined and reasonable person. Don’t worry, even if your home is the imperial palace, and your father’s comrades and relatives are heavenly soldiers and fairies, I will never look at them straight in the eye. Is that okay?”
Really.
He spoke as if Lu Yang had never seen the world.
Qian Youyou said noncommittally: “I hope you can remember what you just said.”
After saying that, he turned the steering wheel sharply, and when the car turned into a small road, the view ahead suddenly opened up.
A wall appeared, at least ten feet high, covered with ivy and other vines.
It is autumn and winter now. If it were spring or summer, it would definitely be full of spring.
When the car approached the wall, Lu Yang found that the middle of the wall was open for cars to pass. There were pine and cypress trees planted on both sides, each with lush branches and leaves, and the shade of the trees completely blocked the road in the middle.
Is this the entrance to the restaurant?
What about the gate?
Lu Yang did not find the gate, but instead found two old men playing chess under a tall pine tree at the foot of the wall.
“Drip…”
When passing by the old man playing chess, Qian Youyou honked the car horn twice.
Then he rolled down the window and stuck his head out, “Dad, Uncle Liu, why are you here?”
Lu Yang also stuck his head out: “Dad?”
Are you kidding me?
Is this your dad? Are you sure he’s not just an ordinary old man guarding the door?
Qian Youyou stopped the car, glared at Lu Yang fiercely with a blushing face, unbuckled her seat belt, opened the car door, and got out of the car with her butt sticking out.
Lu Yang didn’t understand what he meant, and opened the car door with a little dissatisfaction in his heart.
As a result, I just got off the bus.
One of the old men playing chess stood up, pushed another one, and walked in front of them.
Before the old man who stood up could speak, the old man in the wheelchair said, “Young man, don’t recognize someone as your father when you are so young. I don’t remember having a big son like you.”
Lu Yang’s face suddenly turned red, and he stammered and couldn’t say anything.
It’s actually true.
This old Deng is really Qian Youyou’s father.
I just made a slip of the tongue and this old Deng took advantage of me.
Seeing Lu Yang hesitating and unable to answer, the old man in the wheelchair said to Qian Youyou in a dull tone, “My dear girl, where did you trick this stupid boy from? Could it be that he is the son-in-law you found for me?”
Qian Youyou stamped his feet and said, “Dad, what are you talking about? This is my brother’s friend.”
She walked over, took over from Uncle Liu, and pushed the wheelchair forward. I heard her mention her brother.
The old man in the wheelchair immediately frowned and said, “What? Your brother’s friend? Then I won’t entertain him. You tell him to leave. Get out of here before I get angry. Otherwise, I will release Xiao Qi later.”
Xiaoqi is a big wolfdog that Qian Youyou’s father feeds in this farm.
It is said that when Xiaoqi’s mother gave birth to her brothers and sisters, she gave birth to a total of 7 little wolf-puppies in one litter.
Xiaoqi is the smallest one.
But after training and hard work, it has now become a qualified hunting dog.
Moreover, it is the most powerful of all the big wolfhounds in the village.
Although Qian Youyou was secretly unhappy with Lu Yang, she was still blaming Lu Yang for speaking without restraint and calling her father “Dad”, which almost made her bite her tongue off.
But she was also worried that her father would take it seriously. What if he really opened the dog cages and let all those big wolfhounds out?
She guaranteed that the person with the surname Lu would definitely suffer a miserable fate.
Think about it for a moment.
She still felt that although she was angry, it didn’t have to be that serious.
So he stamped his feet again and pretended to be angry and said, “Dad, how could you do this? Brother is your son no matter what. You can be rude to him or not. This is a family matter. But no matter what, guests are guests. Xiaoqi is too powerful. Don’t let him out to scare the guests.”
The old man in the wheelchair closed his eyes and said, “Well, I’ll have to think about it carefully.”
Qian Youyou asked anxiously, “What else are you considering?”
He stamped his feet again and said, “Alright, alright, I’m afraid of you. I’ll tell you the truth, okay? He’s not only my friend, he’s also my friend. Don’t let Xiao Qi out. If he bites a customer, I’ll never let you go.”
The old man in the wheelchair immediately opened his eyes and said with a smile: “That’s right.”
He turned his head with a wink and said to Lu Yang who was standing there, “Silly boy, what’s your name, how old are you today, where are you from, how many people are there, are your parents willing to let you marry into their family?”
Lu Yang almost bit his tongue.
Bringing in a wife?
That’s right?
He suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. No, how could this become a blind date?
It’s funny. I’m a billionaire, do I still need to marry into your family?
Qian Youyou’s family is very rich. It is said that the property certificates are numbered by drawers, and each drawer represents a building.
How much are these houses worth?
Cannot be estimated.
It is now 1991, and the transaction price of a house in Pengcheng is around 15 to 20 yuan.
If we have to calculate, so many houses should be worth at least 1 to 2 million, right?
And this is just the current price. After another ten or twenty years, when these houses appreciate in value, the current one or two hundred million yuan, which means more than ten or twenty billion yuan in the future, may be even more.
There is a shortcut from Central to South in front of us. To get them, all we need is someone to marry Qian Youyou.
Then he married into the Qian family.
Look, isn’t it very simple and most suitable for those top-notch Phoenix men?
Unfortunately, Lu Yang is already married, and he is also a reborn person. He is not short of money, otherwise, if it were a different time or a different place, he would definitely be tempted.
He rushed forward and shouted, “Father-in-law, please accept my greetings.”
Unfortunately, there is no if…
So Lu Yang’s expression now was very serious. He said righteously, “Uncle, you may have misunderstood. I am already married. Miss Qian is my friend, but we are just business contacts.”
After listening to Lu Yang’s words.
The old man in the wheelchair was stunned for a moment, then his eyes were filled with disappointment, and he soon lost interest in Lu Yang.
Turning his head away, he muttered, “How can you get married at such a young age? It’s boring, very boring. Forget it, my dear girl, just push me to the lake. I have an appointment with your uncle Li to go fishing together at noon. You and your friend can stay and we will have fish for lunch.”
He never cared about business matters, and since this young man was not the right match for his daughter, he lost interest.
Qian Youyou knows her father’s character very well.
So I’m used to it.
Pushing the wheelchair towards the lake, he said, “Dad, ever since your legs became unhealthy, Uncle Li has taken over from you as the head chef of this farm. Now it’s almost noon, and you’re still asking him to go fishing with you. Is there no one eating lunch at our farm today?”
Just like Uncle Liu who just played chess with her father, Uncle Li is also a retired veteran.
They are all old, and were brought to this farm by her father to live out their retirement and do what they can.
The old man in the wheelchair waved his hand and said, “It’s okay. Those who come to our manor to eat are all old acquaintances. Just let your uncle Li’s son take over. That kid has learned at least 70% of his father’s skills, and the food he cooks tastes pretty good. My dear girl, I would say that you shouldn’t be so picky. If there is really no one suitable, your uncle Li has also said that although he has only this one son, he has no objection as long as his son is willing, and he can even let him be the son-in-law of our Qian family. Otherwise, would you consider it?”
Qian Youyou immediately said angrily: “Dad, if you do this again, I won’t push you anymore. I will leave immediately and won’t come to see you again.”
The old man in the wheelchair quickly coaxed her, “Okay, okay, I won’t say anything. You two can handle your own affairs when you’re young. But I’m old, so don’t make me wait too long. I want to see you get married and have children while I’m still alive.”
Qian Youyou looked at his white hair and said softly, “I see. Actually, I came back today and I have something I want to ask you for help with.”
Lu Yang followed behind them all the time.
Listening to the conversation between the father and daughter, I felt like laughing. It turns out that rich people also urge marriage, and children of rich families are also afraid of marriage.
Along the way.
Lu Yang also discovered that this so-called manor was quite large. Not only did it have a wall, but inside the wall there were rockery, a small park, a small woods, and even a large lake.
Qian Youyou pushed her father to the edge of the lake, about ten meters away from Lu Yang. The father and daughter talked in whispers for a while.
The old man in the wheelchair reluctantly agreed to help.
He put his hand to the corner of his mouth and whistled. The sound of running was heard, and four or five strong men in camouflage uniforms appeared by the lake.
The old man said seriously: “You guys go and find out what happened in Erniu Village last night and find out the details of the troublemaker…”
