Chapter 261 Liu Yi, the original owner of the small western-style building
Erbao, while straining the handle, found the time to reply, "Because this is water from the underground rock formation."
Sibao took advantage of the opportunity to fetch a basin of water and poured it on the flowers and leaves in the shade.
My mother told me that I should not water the flowers in the sun. I can only sprinkle a little water on the leaves in the shade near the wall.
Between morning and evening is the real time to water the flowers.
Grandma is really smart. Before they left home, they used a small water tank to collect water, and then used a few strands of wool, put one end into the water tank, and tied the other end to the roots of the flowers.
These flowers did not wither.
Of course this method is very effective, but it cannot last long.
After a few days, my uncle Lu Yuhe would bring my aunt to the small villa to take care of it and water the flowers.
This is what makes their leaves evergreen and their flowers beautiful.
"Little boy, are there any adults at home?"
The babies raised their heads and looked curiously at the man in his 40s standing at the door.
Liu Yi was wearing a striped shirt and gold-rimmed glasses, looking like a gentle and elegant scholar.
At this moment, he was looking at the children playing in the yard with kindness.
He had walked around this small building several times, but the last time he came, he hadn't seen anyone.
Just through the gate, you can see that the small building has changed hands, and the new owner has taken good care of it.
Erbao immediately stood in front of his sister and pushed Sibao.
Little Sibao was very smart and immediately ran back to the house to call his dad.
Then Erbao walked to the gate of the yard, about five or six steps away from the middle-aged man, "Who are you? What do you want from our master?"
Liu Yi looked at these cute babies and felt happy. "I came back from abroad and I'm looking for the owner of this building."
As he was speaking, Zhou Jianguo came out quickly and asked, "Comrade, what can I do for you?"
Liu Yi looked at the soldier in front of him and paused. "Comrade officer, my surname is Liu! I'd like to meet the owner of this small building. Who are you?"
Zhou Jianguo, "Then come in and sit for a while, my wife will be back soon."
Liu Yi was very surprised that this small Western-style building was actually owned by a woman!
Sibao ran out to call for his mother.
At this moment, Lu Yuzhu was in the clothing store on the outer wall. She was extremely surprised to hear that someone wanted to see the owner of the small building.
Is that what she meant?
When I got home, I saw the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking around the room with greedy eyes.
"Comrade, I heard you were looking for the owner of the small building. I am him."
Liu Yi stood up and said, "I'm really sorry to bother you today. I have some connection with the original owner of this small building, and I was asked by him to come back and visit."
Lu Yuzhu sat next to Zhou Jianguo. "Oh! What do you want to hear?"
Liu Yi: "I'd like to ask, when did you buy it? Can I know the story behind it?"
Lu Yuzhu, "We bought this in 1977 or 1978. At that time, this small building had been abandoned. I accompanied my mother to look at houses, and they chose other ones.
I fell in love with this small building as soon as I saw it, and immediately bought it.
What? Mr. Liu seems to have a deep affection for this small building! "
Liu Yi's eyes were filled with nostalgia, "Thank you for making this small building look brand new again. When I was abroad, I always thought that this small building would no longer exist.
I didn’t expect it to be preserved so well.”
Seeing that the other party was hesitant to speak, Lu Yuzhu couldn't help but say, "Mr. Liu, there is nothing you can't say here. If you have anything to say, you can ask me at once."
Liu Yi looked at Zhou Jianguo who was reading the newspaper, and he still felt a little bit apprehensive.
Lu Yuzhu urged, "If you don't tell me now, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until next year. We won't be back until the children are on summer vacation."
"No wonder I didn't see anyone in the small building during the past two months." Seeing the encouraging look of the hostess, Liu Yi finally plucked up the courage.
"In fact, I grew up in this small building and have a deep affection for it."
Zhou Jianguo glanced at Lu Yuzhu from behind the newspaper.
Lu Yuzhu nodded secretly, "Oh, so this place has deep memories for you, then tell me what is arranged in this building?
Think it over before you speak. Only if you are right will I acknowledge that you were once the owner of this place and invite you to walk upstairs."
After hearing this, Liu Yi was excited.
Then he described the layout of every room in the building.
When Lu Yuzhu bought this house, she basically did not move the place.
Only the slightly damaged or worn parts were repaired by my two brothers.
The rest have been restored as close to their original state as possible.
After hearing what he said, the couple looked at each other again.
What Liu Yi described is so detailed that it is definitely not something that people who come here often can do.
Only someone who has grown up in this house can describe it in such detail and explain the origins and placement of these furniture.
And Lu Yuzhu listened carefully. The gentleman particularly emphasized the location of the study.
Only Lu Yuzhu knew in this house that in the study, there was a secret door on the back of a bookcase that led to the basement.
This secret has been kept secret by Lu Yuzhu for several years.
At this moment, Liu Yi's words seemed to be a test, wondering whether this family had discovered the secret of the secret room.
When they left in a hurry, some valuable items were left inside.
It's not just money, it's also memories.
Seeing the other party's excitement, Lu Yuzhu said, "Mr. Liu, it seems that you have been away from home for a long time. It is fate that we meet today.
I am the owner of this building now!"
Mr. Liu said awkwardly, "I know! I didn't mean anything else. I just came back to take a look. I really didn't mean anything else."
Lu Yuzhu, "The other rooms upstairs are occupied by our family, so it's not convenient for Mr. Liu to go in and look.
If you really miss her, just stand at the door and look at her.
But the study is fine, the things inside are basically untouched, you can close the door and reminisce in it.
I'll give you two hours."
Two hours?
Liu Yi froze on the sofa. What did the owner of this house mean by saying this?
Could it be that he already knew the secret under the study?
That’s right, although the wealth is not much, it is still a fortune for ordinary people!
I was thinking about all sorts of things in my mind, but I didn't dare show it on my face.
After all, this is someone else's house, and all the things should be handled by them.
Zhou Jianguo raised his head from behind the newspaper and urged with sharp eyes, "Mr. Liu, my wife invites you to sit in the study. If you delay any longer, it will be very late."
Liu Yi stood up reflexively, "Thank you! I...I'll go sit upstairs for a while!"
It was magnanimous of them to invite him and give him two hours of their time.
You can close the door for these two hours. That’s what the other party just said.
No matter what the result is, he still wants to take a look.
As I walk up the stairs, all I see are memories.
Mr. Liu walked very slowly and looked inside every room he passed.
The room basically retains its original appearance, except for some decorations added by the new owner.
It looks extremely warm and elegant, complementing the original layout of the house.
Every room he passed by was a memory. Liu Yi's slow figure finally stopped at the door of the study.
