Jingzhe, also known as "Qizhe", is the third solar term among the twenty-four solar terms.

Spring thunder begins to roar, the temperature rises, insects sprout, and the "nine-nine" is over.

"The peach blossoms are blooming for the last nine months, and the spring plowing cannot stop."

Shen Guanglin works hard every day and never has half a day of leisure.

Li Rong's temperament has obviously changed. Even her walking posture is different from before. Anyway, there is something more inexplicable.

Anyway, there is a kind of rhythmic beauty.

There is an important operation today and the whole family needs to be dispatched to pick someone up at the train station.

Because Li Rong’s grandmother and uncle from her hometown are coming to the capital!

This is something that has been planned for a long time.

It was Shen Guanglin who mobilized it, and Lao Li also agreed.

In fact, it is not easy for them to come here.

My brother-in-law is now married and has two children. If he had not been dismissed from his post and investigated, if he had not experienced a social death, he would not have come out of his hometown, let alone the old lady.

Now there is no way to leave that sad place. I am restricted by my family and my country, and I am forced by my life.

The old lady's surname was Cui. She was originally from Shandong Province and was the daughter of a landlord. She was kidnapped during the war and had no choice but to make her a woman.

You have to accept your fate.

Moving is a big project, and I don’t know how many materials have to be thrown away to make it possible.

This time we went to the train station to meet them, and two cars were dispatched.

This is also the time for Shen Guanglin to show his strength and generosity.

In these years, Li Rong has always been very busy with work. During the years when Li Rong's grandmother was still alive, the Cui mother and son were also with her, so he has always had a good relationship with them.

Companionship is the longest confession of love.

The sisters have really lived together much longer than Lao Li, mother and son.

After the old lady has been sent away completely, it is also appropriate to honor her, and people should be grateful.

As the train entered the station, Zhang Peng and his son arrived.

As expected, there was a wide variety of things. The checked luggage alone included six large boxes, not including the luggage they carried with them.

Fortunately, I drove two cars, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to fit it in.

Loading things into the car and getting ready to go.

Shen Guanglin drove a car, Li Rong sat in the passenger seat, and Lao Li sat in the back seat with the old lady.

Bald Lao Zhang, Shen Guanglin's student, was the other driver, and Aunt Song accompanied her uncle's family in another car.

Cars are really rare in this era, so everyone took a few glances at this powerful family.

What kind of wealthy family can afford a car?

The car sped along and headed towards Fuyuan Gate.

Since we plan to settle in the capital for a long time, there is only one place that is big enough to accommodate as many people as we come.

Along the way, the old lady watched.

"This is Peiping. Is the Forbidden City still there?" The old lady came here in a sleeper berth. She was not too sleepy. Although she was older, she was still in good spirits.

"Of course it's still there. It's now called the Palace Museum."

When Lao Li faced his father's second wife, he didn't know whether to call her mom or aunt.

It doesn't matter to the old lady, just call me aunt. Anyway, she has remarried and is not technically a member of the old Li family.

It's a pity that the old man who married him for the second time has been dead for more than 20 years and is already history. It has been 20 years since the two of them returned to Lao Li's family.

"When your father married me, he talked about how powerful he was every day, and even bombarded the Forbidden City. It seems that he didn't bomb it either."

It was difficult for Lao Li to accept this. After all, a son should not blame his father, especially when he was dealing with his father's ex-wife.

Shen Guanglin was unwilling to be left alone in the driver's seat and took over the topic: "Grandma, why does the old man still have this period of history? How could he bombard the Forbidden City?"

"He is a soldier of the Northwest King. When Marshal Feng expelled the young emperor, he also had a share. If the Forbidden City had been bombed earlier, he might not have led his troops to rob our house."

"Why?"

"Because they got rich after they got rid of the little emperor. He spent a lot of time tinkering with good things at home in those years."

The old man is still alive and well, so it’s best not to delve into this dark history.

General Feng's bombardment of the Forbidden City had both advantages and disadvantages. The emperor was indeed driven away, but 98.5% of the cultural relics in the Forbidden City were lost.

In later generations, the cultural relics collected by the Palace Museum accounted for only 1.5% of the original number.

Most of the remaining ones are still scattered among the people, some have been destroyed by war, and some have been destroyed by the Four Old Ages.

While chatting, Fuyuanmen arrived.

Li Rong and Lao Li, the father and daughter, helped the old lady out of the car. Actually, she didn't need to help her. Although she was already in her 70s and almost 80 years old, her body was very strong.

Moreover, the old lady did not have her feet bound, which is particularly rare.

It's different for Li Rong's own grandmother. Her feet are bound and she can't do any heavy work.

The gate is very impressive, and if a vegetable garden had not been built in the yard, a car could drive right in.

"The house is nice. Is this your old Li's house? If it is, I won't live there anymore. Just rent a place to live. If the road is dead, the road will be buried, and the pit will be dead."

The old lady still had complaints. She had lived in the ancestral home of Lao Li's family for almost 50 years, but she was evicted again when it was about to be buried.

"It's not grandma, this is the house that Brother Guanglin bought himself." Li Rong saw Lao Li's embarrassment and took the initiative to come to the rescue.

"Xiao Shen is a good match, and he is a good match. In this way, our mother and I will not live in vain. When we get those luggages, some old things in them will be used to pay for the food. These were originally your old Li's belongings hidden in your hometown. Yes, they have been kept by me. Even the eldest lady doesn’t know about some of them. They can also be counted as my severance pay. They are all good items. They were all used by the little emperor back then, so they are valuable."

Is there such a thing?

No, does a big family like yours have such a deep foundation?

Shen Guanglin didn't want to fight anymore, he just lay down obediently.

Li Rong has good physical strength and is best at pulling carrots.

When we arrived at our destination, the first thing we did when we got off the train was to prepare some food. After all, we couldn’t eat well after being on the train for two days.

Li Rong, Aunt Song and Zhang Peng's wife had a joint lunch together.

Among them, Li Rong's cooking skills were the best, which they didn't expect.

Of course Li Rong's cooking skills are getting better, especially recently she often spends time in the kitchen learning from the masters.

She is willing to learn, and the chef is willing to teach. As a lady from an official family, there is no such thing as teaching an apprentice to starve the master to death, so her cooking skills have improved on the basis of her hobby.

This kind of good thing must be the cheapest for Shen Guanglin.

The women cooked and the men carried the luggage. This was also the first time for Lao Li to come to Shen Guanglin's home, and he was a little surprised.

The house is really nice and really big.

If you don't look at the basement, just look at the north and south rooms.

It's still comfortable to live in a house like this, but it's much better than his two-story building.

And there are fresh vegetables at home, no wonder they always bring some off-season vegetables home.

When I came here, I discovered that a glass house was actually used as a vegetable greenhouse in the yard. It was very warm inside. It was a good idea to use a glass house to grow vegetables, but it was expensive.

Don't mention money.

In the winter, the cucumbers are green and green. After taking a bite, this astringent feeling on the tongue is really something I haven't seen in a long time.

The old lady was very surprised and satisfied with this layout, "It's better than Beijing. It's amazing. You can even grow vegetables in the winter."

In fact, all this is the credit of Li Rong and Jiang Zhenhua. Without them, at least this vegetable garden would not be like this.

In the winter, you can still eat fresh beans and scrambled eggs, and the old lady even ate an extra steamed bun.

Shen Guanglin has been in the north for a long time and has become somewhat accustomed to eating steamed buns.

During his year in the capital, he discovered the differences in language and culture between the north and the south, which was quite interesting.

In the north, someone asked, have you eaten today?

"Eating" here can refer to anything that can be eaten, including rice, steamed buns, steamed buns, sesame seed cakes, and fried dough sticks.

In the south, someone asked, have you eaten today?

"Eat" here simply refers to rice.

Moreover, curse words are also different in the north and the south.

In the South, "Zai Zai" is a term of endearment for children, while in the North, "Zai Zai" is a curse word.

In the dialects of many places in the south, there is no concept of exclusive quantifiers. They all pronounce "za", which means "za" for people, "chicken", "pig", "dog" and "horse".

In Northern dialect, the distinction is very clear: a person, a chicken, a pig, a dog, and a horse.

After lunch, everyone has their own room, and after tidying up, they settle down.

Only then does the asset inventory begin, which is the highlight.

Shen Guanglin heard about what the old things the old lady brought were, and he was really curious.

There are at least two wooden boxes filled with old objects, including some very fine porcelain and daily necessities. They are authentic official kilns and are worth a lot of money.

The old lady slowly told their history:

"I have kept these things at home for many years. The gold, silver and jewelry have long been used by Lao Li to start a revolution. The rest are some worthless porcelain trinkets, snuff bottles, jade ruyi and the like. In 1942 When there was a famine, I didn't dare to take it out. My eldest sister took me to Yanqing to escape famine and I escaped disaster. In 1958, there was another famine. I took it out, but I couldn't sell it. You, Grandpa Zhang, saved the rations for us and my mother-in-law. I went to the mountains to collect tree bark and couldn’t digest it. I don’t know whether I died of exhaustion or starvation..."

History is very twists and turns and very real, it seems to be happening right before our eyes.

"So these things have been hidden at home?"
