Chapter 11

The next morning, Uncle Wang went to the room to help the old man wash up as usual.

He found that the old man was wearing a brand-new Tang suit and lying quietly.

“Young Master,” Uncle Wang cried out in pain, calling out the name they first met.

Song Shuqian got up and ran into the house, “Grandpa.”

For a while, the house was filled with crying.

Although I knew it would be this day, I knew that Grandpa had been holding on to his breath, and I still hoped that he could stay for a few more days and see more of this world.

Song Shuqian and Uncle Wang held a simple farewell ceremony according to Grandpa’s wishes, and only invited some close relatives and friends.

Then his ashes were scattered into the Yangtze River.

Grandpa said that he had been working hard for the Song family all his life. In order to preserve the foundation of the Song family, he killed his own granddaughter with his own hands, and then made her go to another world, where she only lived to be 22 years old.

He personally sent his youngest son to join the army, making him a pilot that everyone envied at that time. In the end, the youngest son stayed in the sky forever.

He sent his eldest son abroad so that he could learn advanced knowledge and come back to revitalize the Song family. In the end, he abandoned his wife and children for a woman, and no one knows where he is until now.

A good family ended up with the wife and children separated.

The only two granddaughters in the family were separated from each other since childhood because of his decision, and they could only see each other in the Yin and Yang.

How could he not feel his wife’s hypocrisy and exploitation of him, but he owed her all these, as long as she was happy, that was enough.

Now that he is gone, Mr. Song feels relaxed.

If there is an afterlife, he hopes to live for himself and be free.

Looking at Mr. Song like this, Song Shuqian was not as sad as she imagined.

It may be that they have been together for a short time and their feelings are not that deep; it may also be that they have expected it and prepared in advance; it may also be that the relationship between the original owner and his grandfather is not that deep, so he was not affected too much.

After finishing their grandfather’s funeral, Song Shuqian and Wei Jianguo prepared to follow the army and start their new life.

“Uncle Wang, here are 500 yuan for you to take. I know grandpa has decided. These are my thoughts. You have worked hard these days.”

Song Shuxi thanked Uncle Wang from the bottom of her heart. She didn’t know how to take care of people at all. Without Uncle Wang, grandpa’s last days would not be so comfortable.

Uncle Wang was not in a very good mood, as if he had lost half of his energy.

“Miss, don’t blame the old man. He hasn’t had a good time these years. After the old lady left, the old man has been living in self-blame.” Uncle Wang’s voice was choked with sobs. He had been with the old man since he was a child, and he knew how difficult it was for the old man.

Song Shuxi didn’t express her opinion because she was not the original Song Shuxi.

No one knew why Song Shuxi left early in 1968.

Song Shuxi was a little embarrassed when she looked at the things at home. It was because they were too expensive.

For example, the piano, which grandma bought from abroad at a high price. So many people were watching it, and there was no way to put it in the space. It was too conspicuous to put it outside. In the future, she planned to keep a low profile and wait until the situation was better.

There are also furniture in the house. They all look like inconspicuous woods. In fact, they are made of red sandalwood, golden nanmu, ironwood, wenge, and the cheapest is teak.

She really can’t bear to throw them away.

These woods are very rare, and their value is inestimable. If they are put in this house and rented out, she will be heartbroken.

There are also some ornaments in the house, such as table clocks, clocks, and electric fans. Which one of them is not envied by others?

She needs to think about it again.

In the room at night.

Wei Jianguo saw that Song Shuxi was worried all day and never found a chance to ask.

“Shuxi, what’s wrong with you? Do you miss grandpa?”

Song Shuxi also wanted to find a local to discuss it, because there is a big gap between memory and actual experience. “I am worried about this furniture at home. I rented this house to the neighborhood committee for 10 years. I don’t know where to put these ornaments in the house. Some small things that don’t make a difference can be taken to the family compound, but those big ones are difficult to deal with.”

Wei Jianguo was also thinking about these things. In this era, keeping these things in hand is more harmful than beneficial. He was still thinking about how to tell his wife, but his wife had already thought about it herself. “Wife, what do you think about donating them?”

Wei Jianguo said this with a lack of confidence. He didn’t know how much the pendulum clock and the piano cost, but he also knew that these were good things that money couldn’t buy.

However, this was the best way he could think of.

It was all because he didn’t have the ability to help his wife keep her things.

Song Shuqian’s eyes lit up. She was really careless. How could she forget that she could donate them.

“Donate, we’ll contact tomorrow, but who should we donate to? Is it also to the street office?”

Seeing that his wife was not angry, Wei Jianguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Donate to the authorities. It can be regarded as a guarantee.”

Song Shuqian felt that this would not work. She would not live here in the future. The authorities were taking care of her, and their hands could not reach that far. “Jianguo, who introduced you to the blind date?”

Wei Jianguo was confused. He didn’t know what his wife suddenly mentioned. Or answer truthfully, “It’s Deputy Division Commander Wang of our military region. Deputy Division Commander Wang is very optimistic about you and said that you are welcome to come.”

Song Shuqian temporarily felt at ease. She had seen this Deputy Division Commander Wang in the original owner’s memory. He had a good relationship with the Song family. It was said that his grandmother had saved his life before.

He was a very upright elder.

“Jianguo, let’s donate these things to the military region where you are. Pianos, telephones, clocks, televisions… all these messy things are donated. Then this furniture can be disassembled. I know an empty yard. Where can we transport the furniture to?”

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! “Donated all?”

“Yes, donated all. If these things stay with us, it will be a death warrant. I was wrong before. I am destined to be unable to keep a low profile with my identity. In this case, we will donate all the things and spend the money openly.

Husband and wife are one. This credit will be counted on you in the future. It will be good for both of us.”

Seeing that his wife was thinking about him, Wei Jianguo felt warm suddenly.

According to the phone book left by my grandfather, I called Uncle Wang and explained the situation. Uncle Wang promised to dispatch a car as soon as possible to help move things.

Deputy Commander Wang was very happy. The difficult period had just passed, and it was a luxury to have enough food, let alone these enjoyable things.

With fans, placed in the hospital, the soldiers’ wounds are not easy to get inflamed in summer.

With clocks, they can see the time during meetings and be more efficient.

With the piano, the soldiers can listen to music to relax when they are tired from training.

Deputy Commander Wang comes from a big family. He is more open-minded and knows what to do best for the soldiers. Nowadays, other people avoid capitalists like the Song family, but he thinks this is an opportunity.

Introducing Wei Jianguo to a blind date is also to hope that Song Shuqian can help Wei Jianguo not to underestimate the children educated in big families. Their vision is difficult for rural soldiers to catch up in their entire lives.

Wei Jianguo is the most promising soldier under his command. He has been the first in the competition for many years. He is brave, tenacious, decisive and decisive. But he also has fatal shortcomings. His vision is too low, he has no ambition and no culture.

These girls from the Song family can make up for it. The marriage of the two of them can be described as a win-win situation.
