Become a burden in a period novel

Chapter 521 Old Friend

You An's conditions were naturally very good, and Meng's father nodded in agreement after hearing what his daughter said. It would be good if they could get together.

"Then you should at least tell Qin boy first." Giving You An Qin Jingchu's address directly is not an option.

"Dad, why don't you write a letter to him?" Meng Fangfang was a little embarrassed to write a letter to Qin Jingchu.

"This is your own business. You're the one who's trying to set up your colleague with that Qin kid. What does it have to do with me? Alright, now that you've copied down all the addresses, hurry up and go downstairs. Your mother has already made noodles for you." Mr. Meng waved his hand, not wanting to get involved in this matter any further.

Seeing her father's reaction, Meng Fangfang could only take the address she had copied and leave the study.

Qin Jingchu, who was busy with his work, was unaware that someone was struggling with how to write him a letter.

He was moving his father's grave. Actually, Qin Wangshu should have come with him, but thinking about his sister's busy schedule, he decided to move his father's grave with his fifth uncle.

With his fifth uncle and several cousins ​​by his side, the relocation of the graves went very smoothly. Xu Huaici even found some people to renovate their ancestral graves.

Because the Xu family's ancestral graves were located in the mountains, and several other families were stationed there to guard them, they hadn't suffered any damage. Moreover, many of the Xu family's martyrs were buried there, so no one dared to touch them. Now that Xu Huai'an's grave had also been moved here, Qin Jingchu felt much more at ease.

“I’ll pay for the road up the mountain to be repaired later, so it will be more convenient to come and sweep the graves.” Xu Huaici looked at the group of graves in front of him, which were actually quite dilapidated.

The graves here also need to be repaired properly. Now that he's back, they all need to be repaired.

“And those clansmen haven’t been doing well these past few years either. I’m thinking of getting them some property so they can have a livelihood to support their families.” Xu Huaici still held the same old ideas.

As a junior, Qin Jingchu didn't know what to say, and as one of the clansmen he had supported, he had even less right to say anything.

I just don't know how much money his fifth uncle has, how he can be so generous!

While Xu Huaici was saying these things, his other nephews didn't say anything, as if they didn't care about the money at all. This made Qin Jingchu feel even more that the Xu family members who went abroad were doing very well.

Uncle Xu was preparing to spend a large sum of money, and because of his generosity, some people came to his door.

Uncle Xu, who was very generous to his relatives and friends, was not so kind to these people who came to his door.

Seeing Uncle Wu's attitude, Qin Jingchu felt a little relieved. It seemed he didn't have to worry about Uncle Wu being deceived.

However, there was one family that came to take advantage of Xu Huaici, and they were not driven away. It was an old woman with a young grandson.

When she met Xu Huaici, she called him "Fifth Young Master," a title that made Qin Jingchu very uncomfortable. Born under the red flag and raised in the new China, he had never heard of such a feudal form of address.

The old woman was probably in her seventies. The little grandson next to her was her great-grandson. She said that her son and daughter-in-law died in the war, and she raised her grandson and found him a wife.

The world had finally returned to peace, but no one expected they would starve to death in the famine. Only she, a resilient old woman, and her infant child remained.

"Fifth Young Master, I'm getting old and don't know how many more years I can stay with this child. I heard you were coming back on the way, and I was thinking that you could take this child in for the sake of our past relationship." She was Xu Huaici's nanny. At that time, she had lost her husband and was wandering with her child. It was the Xu family who took her in.

Xu Huaici was only five years old at that time, about the same age as her child. The lady took pity on her and asked her to take care of Xu Huaici. Her child also stayed to keep Xu Huaici company.

“Aunt Li, is this Run-ge’s grandson? He looks a lot like him.” Xu Huaici felt very sad when she heard the old woman’s words.

Li's mother's son joined the army. She remembered that when he left, he said he was going to make a name for himself and strive for a better future. She met his wife in the army, and she was very saddened when she heard the news of his sacrifice.

He just remembered that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, his third brother properly settled the people who used to work for their family. In addition, Li's mother was also a martyr's family member. How could she have ended up like this?

However, considering what Qin Jingchu and Qin Wangshu, the brother and sister, suffered, I can probably understand it.
