Jianbao life

Chapter 125
Chu Chen's new villa is located to the west of Liu's hometown, about 150 meters away from Liu's hometown.

When he got there, Chu Chen looked in through the gate. The area was indeed hundreds of square meters larger than Liu's hometown, but compared to the artistic conception, it was far behind Liu's home.

After opening the door, Liu Qinshu introduced some things that need to be paid attention to here for Chu Chen as he walked.

The villas in Yuhuating are also divided into several grades, with different sizes, which also correspond to the political level of the purchaser.At the beginning, the older generation of this villa family was of a higher level than Mr. Liu, so they were able to buy this villa.Of course, there is no such requirement now, otherwise Chu Chen would not be qualified to buy it.

But after the older generation passed away, the strength of the family was not as good as before, and there were political enemies who made trouble. If Mr. Liu hadn't pulled them because he was friends with the old master, the family might have been ruined long ago. This is the kind of favor owed to Mr. Liu.

It was only then that Chu Chen realized that it was no wonder that Liu Qinshu said before that this villa was just an addition, and this kind of great favor could not be repaid just by buying and selling a villa.

The villa has not undergone any renovations since it was bought, and it still maintains its original appearance. There is a small garden on the east and west sides of the yard, and a not-so-small swimming pool on the west side.

Not far away is a small three-story building with a larger building area than Liu's hometown. There are many tall trees and vegetation around the villa, giving people a very quiet feeling.

The layout of the whole villa is quite satisfactory, but after seeing the remodeled scenery of Mr. Liu, Chu Chen will certainly not be satisfied with the environment here.

After Liu Qinshu led Chu Chen around the courtyard, he asked him, "Xiao Chu, are you sure you want to change this?"

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I want to transform this place into an idyllic scene like that of Xiaoqiao Liushui."

Liu Qinshu said with a smile: "It seems that Xiao Chu likes a leisurely atmosphere, then use the group of people who helped my dad design it before, what do you think?"

Without thinking about it, Chu Chen agreed, "Of course, I can't wait, but I will trouble you, Aunt Liu."

"No trouble. I'll ask him to contact you in the afternoon. Come on, let's go inside now."

After opening the door of the villa with the key, a gust of cool wind blows over, sweeping away the hot summer air around Chu Chen.Every villa here uses central air-conditioning. After the formalities were completed at the property, the air-conditioning was turned on immediately.

The layout of the villa is similar to that of Mr. Liu's. The entrance is the living room, and there are all kinds of furniture inside. If it weren't for the thick layer of dust in the room, Chu Chen could live here tonight.

After Liu Qinshu came in, he said: "Xiao Chu, this time is also your luck. After this family took action, they went to other places to work half a year ago. After going there, they feel that they have done a good job there, and they are going to settle down there. root."

"A few days ago, when I wanted to sell this villa, my dad quickly contacted him. Otherwise, it's really uncertain whether you can become the owner of this place."

"Hehe, I owe it to Mr. Liu. But Aunt Liu, why didn't the previous owner even remove the furniture here?" Chu Chen asked strangely after looking around.

Liu Qinshu said with a chuckle: "The important things have been taken away, furniture and other things are not worth much, and they took them back and sold them for scrap. I have seen it before, and there are only a few mahogany tables and chairs here. You can still use it, and the other ones are different from your decoration style, and you need to replace them all.”

Chu Chen thinks about it too. The furniture here is all in a modern style, which is completely different from the effect he wants, and he must have to replace it at that time.But these furniture can't be sold for a lot of money. After thinking about it, Chu Chen decided that it would be more useful to donate it to his school when he was studying.

Although the reform and opening up has indeed achieved great results in the past few years, for the mountainous area where Chu Chen lived from childhood to adulthood, the changes are really not big.Two years ago, on the third anniversary of his father's death, Chu Chen made a special trip back. As a result, except for the two newly built houses, he couldn't see any difference from before.

Chu Chen also deliberately went to the school where his father worked, which was also his alma mater, but what he saw was the same as when he left. In the windy classroom, there are tables and chairs with missing arms and legs.

With a heavy heart, Chu Chen donated all the 3 yuan he saved to the school.In the past two years, he will directly donate a little money to the school at the end of each year.

Fortunately, at the beginning of this year, the old principal sent him a letter, saying that the government was already building a new school for them, and the conditions of the school would definitely be much better than before.However, due to limited funds, the school can only replace most of the desks and chairs, and some of them have to be solved by the school itself.

So Chu Chen decided that besides donating all these old furniture, he would also buy some tables and chairs and ship them over, and then buy some books to help the school build a small library.As for donating a large amount of money to the school, Chu Chen never thought about it. It's not that he is stingy, but he knows that the school will have a lot of money by then, and he might be targeted by others.

Even for the books he bought for the school, Chu Chen was worried that after he left, some people would make up their minds to use the books where they were most needed.

While Chu Chen was thinking about something, he casually turned around the villa from bottom to top, but when he came to the study and glanced at a pen holder on the desk, Baojue actually reacted.So he hurried over, picked up the pen holder and looked at it.

This is a blue and white pen holder with an amphibious picture painted on it. Although it looks more exquisite from a distance, once he got it, Chu Chen could tell that the pen holder was not made of mineral materials, but chemical materials. , so this pen holder is just a modern handicraft.

It's just a modern handicraft, but Baojue will respond. With the previous experience of the bamboo carving pen holder, Chu Chen certainly understands the reason for this.Sure enough, after his careful observation, there was indeed a mystery hidden in this pen holder.

"Hey, I really have a relationship with the pen holder recently!"

But when Chu Chen was about to find tools to take out the contents of the pen holder, he heard Liu Qinshu calling him outside.

"Xiao Chu, have you finished reading? My dad told us to go over for dinner. If you haven't read enough, come back after dinner."

Chu Chen responded, picked up the pen holder and hurried out.

Seeing the pen holder in Chu Chen's hand, Liu Qinshu asked strangely, "Xiao Chu, what are you doing with the pen holder?"

Chu Chen raised the pen holder, and said with a chuckle, "Aunt Liu, you will know later."

"Oh? Show me, I'll see what a good thing it is."

Hearing what Chu Chen said, Liu Qinshu's interest immediately increased, but after taking the pen holder, he looked left and right and found nothing unusual, so he shook his head and said, "I only see that this is a modern handicraft. Yeah, I really can't see it."

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Aunt Liu, you can tell the depth of the pen holder just by gesturing."

After Liu Qinshu heard the words, she put her finger in and touched the bottom of the barrel after a while, and then made a gesture on the outside of the pen holder, but it only reached two-thirds of the pen holder.

Seeing this result, Liu Qinshu understood what was going on: "Xiao Chu, you said that there is something hidden in this pen holder? But I just saw that the bottom of this pen holder is intact, how could it be possible to put something in it?" Woolen cloth?"

Chu Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "Aunt Liu, there is a universe inside this pen holder. Let's eat first, and I'll open it after dinner, and you'll know when the time comes."

Hearing what Chu Chen said, Liu Qinshu still did not give up and looked inside and outside the pen holder, but found nothing, and could only wait for Chu Chen to solve the mystery.

After returning home, I told Elder Liu about the pen holder. He was also very interested, but after all, Elder Liu was calm, so he told them not to be irritable when eating.Now that Mr. Liu had spoken, the two of them could only chew and eat slowly.

After eating, the three of them came to Mr. Liu's workshop, and Liu Qinshu couldn't wait to say, "Xiao Chu, you can talk now!"

Chu Chen didn't answer directly, but asked with a smile: "Aunt Liu, is there a longer knife here?"

"some."

Liu Qinshu quickly found a long fruit knife and handed it to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen took the knife, then stretched it into the pen holder and scraped it. After a while, a thick layer of white wax-like substance was scraped out, and then handed the pen holder to Mr. Liu and the others.Sure enough, after scraping off the wax, you can see a circle of tiny cracks at the bottom, which made the two of them suddenly realize.

Mr. Liu asked a little strangely: "Xiao Chu, how did you think that there is heaven and earth in this pen holder?"

Chu Chen found an excuse and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Liu, have you forgotten? My smoker box was found in the pen holder. When I saw this pen holder today, I habitually searched for it. Tan, I didn't expect that there is really a universe inside, it seems that there is a reason why a blind cat can catch a dead mouse."

Hearing what Chu Chen said, Mr. Liu shook his head and laughed and said, "That's why great people say that it doesn't matter whether a cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat. Well, let's quickly take out the contents."

Chu Chen nodded, and then carefully picked the bottom of the pen container with a fruit knife. After picking it a few times, he felt that the bottom was a little loose, so he gently put the pen container upside down on the table, and only heard a "click" With a soft sound, the bottom, which was slightly larger than the wine glass, fell onto the table.
