The scar-faced tiger didn't show up, so he must be looking for some "fun" for the two yellow hairs at the moment.
The relationship between the Guo and Ma families is intertwined, and they will not break up because of an outsider unless it is absolutely necessary.
What's more, Guo Wenbin still has something to hide from "Brother Ma".
After this incident, Guo Wenbin will only pay more attention to Lin Yi's safety and will not easily let the Ma family's minions get close to Lin Yi and the others.
As for the reason, it depends on how he reconciles it.
After all, Lin Yi is just a walking eight-digit check now. Destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents. The man named Ma will definitely not let it go.
Lin Yi has no time to care about the bad debt between them now.
There were still two days before the meeting at Delong House, so he had to hurry up and implement his plan.
"Would it be too presumptuous to visit your grandpa at this time?"
Li Ling shook her head.
"At this time, he is either reading on the balcony, playing with his flowers and plants, or watching others play chess in the sun downstairs. Come on, I will take you there."
Lin Yi asked Bai Lu to go to the supermarket to buy some good wine and tea to take with her. Li Ling repeatedly refused, but they still bought two large bags as a meeting gift for the old man to take with him.
After all, there is no reason to go empty-handed when you are asking for help from others.
I took a taxi and drove all the way to the new factory yard of the bearing factory.
It was said to be a new factory, but that was in the late 1990s.
Several low, old-fashioned seven-story family buildings are surrounded by a group of tall commercial buildings, which look out of place with the surrounding environment.
Like old resettlement buildings across the country, the entrance is full of stalls of various small businesses and hawkers, and the entrance is blocked.
After the car stopped, Lin Yi bought some more fruits. Li Ling led the way and the three of them entered the community.
This living area may not look big, but it is quite deep. Walking all the way there, there are at least dozens of buildings.
"Many people here have moved out, and the remaining ones are basically retired employees who are about the same age as my grandfather. Now everyone lives here, making it a mess. Most of the old people from 'Yao Ling San' are concentrated here. In the next few buildings."
Following the main road of the community, we arrived at the last row. There was a family building on both sides of the road, which was neatly kept. A few old people downstairs gathered together to play bridge, drink tea, listen to operas, play chess, walk their dogs, etc. Yes, enjoying a comfortable retirement.
"Here! My grandpa is right there, wearing brown winter clothes and a hat."
Looking in the direction of Li Ling's finger, Mr. Li was clasping his hands behind his back, concentrating on watching someone play chess, and his mouth was never idle for a moment.
"Gongpawn, can you play this chess if you don't bow the pawn? You can't substitute. Hey, if he doesn't bow the pawn, why do you support him? If he doesn't bow the pawn, just mount the horse!"
As he spoke, his hand passed over the person in front of him and reached out to the chessboard to give him advice.
"I finally know who this girl is following when she talks so secretly."
Lin Yi turned his face and complained to Bai Lu.
Li Ling stepped forward and pulled Mr. Li out of the crowd.
After all, it was a kiss from another generation. When the old man saw his granddaughter coming, a smile immediately broke out on his face.
"Lingling, why are you here? Didn't you say you were working as a tour guide at the scenic spot?"
The old man reached out and caressed her face affectionately.
"I brought two friends with me, they want to know something from you."
"Oh, a friend is here. Hurry up and bring us some water into the house."
As he said that, the old man cheerfully stretched out his hand to wave them over.
"Lao Li, your granddaughter ran away as soon as she arrived? You don't want to be our guide anymore?"
"You two are such a bad chess player, and the instructor can't do anything good with it."
The uncles and uncles on the side all laughed out loud.
Grandpa Li's home is on the first floor, which is convenient for his daily life. In a building without an elevator like this, the first floor is often the best choice.
"Children, where do you come from?"
"Oh, we came from Shangjing."
"So far away, are you Lingling's classmates?"
With that said, the old man opened the door, and a warm current hit his face, and the room was filled with the smell of Chinese medicine.
Lin Yi's nose twitched twice and he smelled several medicinal herbs inside, such as safflower, caowu, smilax and so on.
These medicinal materials are generally used to treat bone hyperplasia and joint swelling and pain.
Once people get older, these diseases will come to their doorstep.
"Old man, are your joints not in good condition?"
Lin Yi found a breakthrough for chatting.
Mr. Li looked back at him.
"Young man, how do you know?"
"I know something about Chinese medicine. I smell a medicinal smell in your room, which seems to be medicine for treating bone hyperplasia and joint pain, so I took the liberty to ask."
"That's right, that's right. Young people have studied our traditional Chinese medicine. It's not easy for you young people now."
The old man invited them into the house to sit down with a look of approval.
The structure of the house is very simple, with three bedrooms and one living room in the 1990s. Being able to get such a house at that time proved that the old man was not an ordinary person.
A large family photo hangs behind an old spring sofa.
Li Ling in the photo looks about six or seven years old, with a small red dot between her eyebrows.
"Oh, don't look at it. I'm so embarrassed. These are ugly photos of me when I was a child."
"What an ugly photo, it's not ugly at all, how cute it is."
Mr. Li looked at his granddaughter in the photo with a doting look on his face, and the folds on his face almost covered his eyes.
Lin Yi's eyes quickly scanned the entire room.
In addition to the obvious smell of Chinese medicine, there is also a smell of paper.
As far as the eye can see in the room, there are various books stored there.
The old man seems to be a tidy person at first glance, and he arranges the books neatly according to categories.
"I'm already very happy that you young people are willing to come see me, an old man. What else do you need to bring?"
"It should be, it should be, we are juniors, and we are here to make trouble, so how can we come empty-handed."
Mr. Li laughed.
"There are not many children who know etiquette like you nowadays. You sit down first, and I will wash some fruits for you. We don't have anything to entertain here. Each of us has a big apple."
As he spoke, the old man took off an old-fashioned silver mechanical watch from his wrist, folded the watch chain neatly, put it on the table, and got up to wash the fruits for them.
"Grandpa, you sit down, I'll go and make it look like I'm ignorant."
Li Ling stood up, pushed the old man down on the chair, rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen.
"Okay, okay, go ahead and wash it a few more times."
"knew."
The old man sat down happily, but Lin Yi's eyes stayed on the watch on the table.
The silver bezel, traditional three-pin style, and spring strap make it look like a product of the last century.
The cover is somewhat worn, but the two handwritten signs of "Shangjing" on the dial are still clearly visible. (End of chapter)
