Chapter 1 is open, good luck!
In December, Lushan Town was colder than usual, and the cold wind was mixed with light rain, which was icy cold.
The door of a shop at the corner of the town at the end of the town was wide open, and there were faint sounds of quarrels coming from inside, and the biting cold wind blew past, making the already condensed atmosphere in the shop even more dignified.
"I took an inventory of my mother's belongings, and all the valuable things are here." The middle-aged man in a short black padded jacket put a file bag on the table, "Mom said before she died, that the two sets of residential areas in the city One set of houses for me, one set for Song Xiang, and this shop and savings in this town for you, the second child."
"Mom, isn't she a fool? Why should the house be given to an outsider? I am her own son. A dilapidated shop and tens of thousands of dollars sent me away? I don't agree with this!" The man in the leather jacket sitting aside looked coldly into the corner.
Sitting in the corner was a young girl, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with bright facial features, but her skin was pale and sickly, she kept her head down and said nothing, her face was dark and unclear.
"That's right, brother, are you a servant? Why would the house be given to Song Xiang and not our second child?" The woman next to the man in the leather jacket was also very dissatisfied. The housing prices in the city had soared to more than 10,000. Where is the township? Can a small shop on the verge of bankruptcy compare?
The middle-aged man in cotton padded clothes spread his hands, "Anyway, that's what Mom told me before she died."
"How is this possible? I can see that she coaxed Mom to give her the house while Mom was getting confused." The man in the leather jacket couldn't wait. Picked up Song Xiang's skin and removed her bones, "Mom picked her up and raised her for more than 20 years, it's enough to be kind, and now she's greedy for our house, it's hard to guard against house thieves day and night, just a white-eyed wolf !" The
man's words became more and more ugly, Song Xiang raised his pale face, "Second Uncle, I didn't coax grandma to give me the house."
"Don't call me Second Uncle." At this moment, the man's heart was on fire, and he didn't want to see him. Song Xiang.
The woman on the side coughed, "Song Xiang, although your surname is Song, you are not from our Song family after all. In terms of blood relationship, this house cannot be your turn. The old lady was already old when she left. I'm confused, she can't count what she says."
Song Xiang is an abandoned baby picked up by Mrs. Song twenty-three years ago. Although she has the surname Song, she does not belong to the Song family. She has known her uncle and uncle since she can remember. They didn't like her very much. If grandma didn't say that they don't want them to raise her with a penny, she might have been thrown away long ago.
The woman was still chattering, "The two houses in the city should be shared by your uncle and your second uncle. It's up to you whether it's emotional or reasonable."
"In short, we don't recognize this will . Yes, the old lady has raised you for so many years, you should also learn to repay your kindness and give up the house automatically."
Song Xiang raised his head, his eyes flushed, "I don't need the house, but I want this shop."
Uncle Song Ba had no choice but to ask for this shop, "Okay, okay, I'll give you the shop, but the house in the city must belong to me."
Uncle Song, who had been silent all this time, interjected, "Song Xiang, are you sure? I moved out, and basically there will be no people here in the future, and your grandma said before she passed away that this small shop will soon be closed."
"Brother, why are you talking so much to her?" Second Uncle Song wished Song Xiang was something Idiots who don't understand, don't worry about the valuable houses in the city.
"Uncle, I'm sure." Grandma had just moved to the town when she brought Song Xiang home. At that time, Uncle and Second Uncle had already married and started a career in the city. They had no affection for this place, but Song Xiang had been there since he could remember. I have been living here with my grandma, and I have memories of every corner of this place. The second uncle looked down on this place, but this is the only home in her heart. She no longer has a grandma, and she doesn't want to have her only thought. up.
"Just make sure." Uncle Song didn't mean much, he just asked to go through a process.
Song Xiang agreed to exchange shops with Song Ershu, and Song Ershu stopped making trouble, "Then go and transfer the ownership right now."
Song Xiang clenched his fists, "Grandma was just buried."
Second Uncle Song lowered his face, "Do you still want to renege on the debt?"
"No." Song Xiang said word by word, "I haven't prepared the required materials yet."
" I’m all ready, the death certificate, household registration booklet, and will are all here.” Second Aunt Song urged Song Xiang, “I’ll do it quickly while I’m free today, and I have to go to work tomorrow.”
Song Xiang took a deep breath, With red eyes, he glanced at the black and white photos hanging on the wall, and gritted his teeth: "Okay."
They drove to the notary office, and all the documents required for the transfer were prepared, except that Song Xiang and the second uncle each signed a contract halfway through. Apart from a statement of voluntary abandonment of the real estate, everything else went well.
After finishing, the second uncle took the new real estate certificate and left with a smile on his face.
The uncle didn't stay for long, but before leaving, he told Song Xiang that he didn't have to go to New Year's greetings if he was too busy during the New Year.
After separating from his uncle and uncle, Song Xiang took a car back to Lushan Town.
Lushan Town is a remote town under the jurisdiction of Jiangcheng. The town is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The environment is very good and the air is fresh. The only drawback is that the town is very small, less than two miles from the beginning to the end, and the streets are paved with bluestones. A few shops are sparsely opened on both sides, and there is no popularity at all.
Uncle Song is right. There is no potential for development in the small town. In the past few years, people in the small town have moved out, and the people who stayed are basically elderly people who are reluctant to live in the small town for decades. Specially stayed for the elderly.
It took ten minutes for Song Xiang to walk from the entrance of the town to the outside of the shop at the end of the town. She looked at the almost faded sign on the door - Lushan Small Shop.
Looking at the faded signboard, Song Xiang feels inexplicably at ease, where there is a shop, there is a grandma, and where there is a grandma, there is a home.
When you open the door and enter the house, you will find the shop's shop. The shop is not big, only 60 square meters. There are several rows of shelves inside, and some daily necessities are placed on it.
There are a few chairs and small tables in the corner. In the past, grandma would sit on the chairs and guard the shop. When there were guests, she chatted a little, and when there were no guests, she just watched TV to pass the time.
There is a door at the back of the shop, and a narrow passage behind the door. On one side of the passage, there is a staircase leading to the upper floor. There are two rooms upstairs. She and her grandma live upstairs.
The other side of the passage leads to the backyard. Behind the door is a yard. There is a kitchen and bathroom in the backyard, and there is also a small room used as a warehouse.
There is also a back door on the wall of the courtyard, a few hundred meters out of the back door is the deer mountain. Behind the deer mountain is a rolling mountain with dense trees and no people.
In the past, gardenias and tea tree flowers were planted under the courtyard wall, but they were frozen and withered after winter, and now the ground is covered with dead leaves, which is a mess.
After grandma was hospitalized, there was no one at home. The yard hadn't been cleaned for a long time, and it was covered with dust inside and out. Song Xiang went to the kitchen to get the water, took a handkerchief and started to clean, first wiped the upstairs, and then mopped the floor after wiping, every corner was wiped clean.
Grandma loves cleanliness very much, and she hates dirty things the most. If she keeps the house clean, grandma won't be angry.
After cleaning the upstairs, Song Xiang went downstairs to tidy up the shop, and the grandma of the Fang family who was diagonally opposite the shop came over, "Song Xiang, are you cleaning? You are really diligent."
Song Xiang hummed, "Grandma Fang, sit down."
"Hey." Fang's grandma was not polite to her, and sat on the chair that had just been wiped: "Your grandma has been fine before, but I didn't expect it to be gone because of a cold."
"Maybe it's too cold this winter. Quite a few old men and old ladies have left." The grandma of Fang's family lived in her seventies, she was used to seeing life and death, and she spoke casually, but Song Xiang felt even more uncomfortable when she heard it.
Grandma is in her 70s this year. She broke her leg in the first half of the year. After returning home from the hospital, she became less energetic. When I contacted grandma a few days ago, she seemed to be in good spirits. Unexpectedly, a severe cold this month made her completely incapacitated. After losing their energy, the doctor said that there was nothing they could do when they were old.
The grandma of the Fang family continued to ask: "Your grandma is gone now, what about your shop?"
Song Xiang resisted the discomfort in his heart, did not mention the twists and turns in the middle, and only said: "Grandma left the shop to me. "
I left it to you?" Fang's grandma thought this would be the best, "I heard from your grandma that you work in a big city outside and earn tens of thousands a month?"
Song Xiang just wanted to say no, Grandma Fang Then he said: "You won't stay in the town if you make a lot of money outside, right? Then grandma has something to discuss with you. Grandma wants to rent your shop to release the goods. Do you think three hundred yuan will do?"
Fang The family owns an oil mill, and oil is always everywhere. Song Xiang doesn't want grandma's shop to be destroyed by others, "I don't want to rent it out for the time being."
Grandma Fang: "Anyway, you have to go back to work in a few days Yes, an empty house is a waste. I rent it and use it, but it will give you a little popularity. A house with people is not so easy to break down."
Song Xiang: "Grandma Fang, I really don't want to rent."
Grandma Fang: "Yes Didn’t you think my price was too cheap? But you know what’s going on in the town, and three hundred yuan is considered a high price.”
“It’s not about the price.” Song Xiang grimaced, “Grandma worked so hard to open this place. I want to keep the layout inside as a thought, and I can come back and have a look at it during the New Year and holidays."
Grandma Fang didn't expect Song Xiang to be quite filial, much better than the old lady's two sons, "Then you If you want to rent it, tell me."
After Grandma Fang turned around and left tremblingly, Song Xiang closed the door and repacked the goods on the shelves. In two days, she will go back to work in Nancheng, and she needs to dispose of the cheap deals that are about to expire. , Put the resistant ones into boxes and store them in the warehouse.
After packing, Song Xiang walked towards the warehouse with the box in his arms, and unscrewed the warehouse door with one hand. As soon as the warehouse door opened, a wave of heat hit.
Song Xiang pushed open the door in doubt, and was immediately stunned by the scene inside the door.
