Regarding Du Xiaoyu's question, Cheng Yu shook his head and said with a mysterious smile: "Keep it secret."
Du Xiaoyu didn't care, but rolled his eyes at Cheng Yu, as if to say: Virtue.
However, Du Xiaoyu still called Wei Lan while eating, turned on the speakerphone and said: "Mom, is my dad at home?"
Wei Lan said angrily: "You kid, you called me, but you opened your mouth to ask your dad."
Du Xiaoyu smiled and said, "This means mom, you are ahead of my dad, otherwise I would just call him and ask him where he is."
Wei Lan thought about the same truth, and immediately became happy and said, "Here he is, right next to me. Do you want to talk to him?"
"That's not necessary. I just want to make sure that you and my dad are at home. Cheng Yu went on a business trip two days ago and said he brought gifts for you two. We will go there shortly after making sure that you are at home."
Wei Lan smiled and was very satisfied with his son-in-law's sensibility, but he said: "This kid, when he is on a business trip, he still wants to bring us gifts. Have you two eaten?" Du Xiaoyu stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth.
Beef, said vaguely: "I'm eating right now. I'll go over after eating... I'll have to compare with you and my dad later to see if Cheng Yu gave me a better gift or gave you a better gift."
good."
Wei Lan didn't seem to hear clearly, so she made a sound, and then Du Changfeng's voice came from the phone.
He was also smiling, obviously happy with Cheng Yu's intentions. For a wealthy man like him, the value of the gift has long been unimportant. What matters is the children's wishes.
"Xiao Yu, tell Xiao Yu that there is no need to make a special trip, or you can come back for dinner tomorrow and just bring it over." Upon seeing this, Cheng Yu leaned over to the phone and said, "Dad, this gift is not available.
I can't bring it to you directly. Otherwise, let's meet in an hour near Pier 4 on the riverside. There is a small road called Main Road there. I don't know if you
Do you know?"
Du Changfeng was a little surprised and asked curiously: "Why, you can't bring this gift with you yet? Why did you think of it and run to the river?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "This needs to be kept secret. You will understand when you and Mom get there and we meet."
"Okay, but don't be in a hurry, you two, eat slowly."
After hanging up the phone, Du Xiaoyu tilted his head curiously, blinked his eyes, and couldn't help but ask: "What gift is it? I can't bring it with me yet. Take it out and let me take a look."
Cheng Yu laughed loudly, stretched out his hand and scratched the bridge of Du Xiaoyu's straight nose, and said: "I told you that I can't take it with me, how can I show it to you? Don't worry, be patient, I'll see it later.
It’s a surprise.”
Du Xiaoyu pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and said, "You said it was a gift for my parents, what surprise can I have?"
Cheng Yu smiled mysteriously and said, "That's not necessarily true."
After dinner, Cheng Yu and Du Xiaoyu had made an appointment with Du Changfeng and his wife, so they followed Aunt Zhang's instructions and went out directly.
On the way, Du Xiaoyu couldn't help but look at the profile of Cheng Yu who was driving and asked in a low voice: "Just reveal a little bit?" Cheng Yu shook his head, but Du Xiaoyu glanced at the briefcase that Cheng Yulin took before going out. After getting in the car,
, Cheng Yu had long been on guard against Du Xiaoyu's move, so even though it was a little awkward, he still put his briefcase under the driver's seat.
By the door of the room.
Knowing what she was thinking, Cheng Yu said with a smile: "I'm driving, don't make trouble with me. If you pounce on me like this, the traffic policeman won't give you face."
Seeing that his thoughts were revealed, Du Xiaoyu had no choice but to purse his lips again, rolled his eyes and said, "Humph, it's boring."
Although it was already past seven o'clock, there was still some traffic in the center of Wudong. As he approached the riverside, Cheng Yu's phone rang.
Taking out his cell phone, Cheng Yu saw it was Du Changfeng and handed the phone to Du Xiaoyu: "Please answer it."
When Du Xiaoyu saw the words "father-in-law", he opened the answer button and said, "Dad, you and my mother are already here?"
"Well, when we arrived, I just wanted to tell you, Xiao Yu, don't be anxious and drive slowly."
"We are almost there. Please ask my mother to open a WeChat location for me so that we can find you."
Du Changfeng agreed, but Du Xiaoyu hung up the phone and muttered: "How did he know we were driving? Couldn't he have been waiting for them by the river?" Cheng Yu smiled and said for Du Changfeng
Feng explained: "Generally speaking, if the person who answers the phone has arrived at the agreed place, he will have a slight psychological advantage. Therefore, when picking up the phone, he will usually ask where the other person is.
, and then rush to tell the other party that you have arrived. But if you open your mouth and ask them if they have arrived, it is a sign of weakness, so Dad can tell that we are still on the way."
Du Xiaoyu frowned and said, "Don't you major in economics? Are you pretending to be a psychologist with me?" Cheng Yu laughed and said, "This isn't really psychology, it's just a common sense judgment in dealing with people.
You have less time to deal with interpersonal relationships, so you don’t pay much attention to these details on weekdays, but your dad
After so many years of business, from scratch to something, who haven’t you seen in any circumstances?”
"What about you? It's as if you are a fox that has become a spirit for thousands of years." "I was thrown to the United States just after I graduated from elementary school. I was boarding at first and lived in the homes of local people I didn't know. Although they were all
You have paid money, but after all, you are living under someone else's roof, so you must have some basic ability to observe people's emotions.
Forced out by life." Du Xiaoyu was about to say something more, but suddenly she felt distressed. She looked at Cheng Yu blankly, and then realized that after graduating from elementary school, she was thrown to the other side of the ocean alone, without any friends.
, even if it has never been financially possible
I have endured hardships, but the psychological suffering was not light.
Cheng Yu was completely unaware of this, he just looked ahead and drove the car smoothly and steadily.
Du Xiaoyu watched the coordinates with Wei Lan on his phone getting closer and closer. He was about to tell Cheng Yu, but when he raised his head, he heard Cheng Yu say: "I saw them."
The car slowly stopped next to Du Changfeng and Wei Lan. Since he didn't know what Cheng Yu's arrangements were, Du Changfeng drove here himself and didn't ask the driver to follow him. Seeing Du Xiaoyu and Cheng Yu get off separately
After getting out of the car, Du Changfeng walked over and said with a smile: "Xiao Yu, why is the gift so mysterious that it has to come to such a place? The changes here are really big. I haven't been here for at least ten years.
I've passed here before, and I often came here to take boats when I was young." Cheng Yu pointed to the riverside road and said, "I still have some impressions. When I came here when I was a kid, this road was very prosperous.
There are still a lot of cars and people, and there is a long-distance bus station there. Every time I come here, I see people carrying big bags.
Xiaobao's outsiders." Du Changfeng nodded and said, "Yes, this place has carried Wu Dong's water transportation responsibility for many years, and it was very lively for many years. At that time, because it was across the Yangtze River, there was no land transportation
It’s so convenient. People who come to Wudong to make a living or go on business trips basically come by water. Even those who take the train, many need to take a ferry across the river to get here. It is for this reason that in the past,
The people from Wudong put
Outsiders call them "visitors from the out-of-town wharf", and over time, they are simply called foreigners."
Wei Lan saw that Du Changfeng was successfully led astray by Cheng Yu, so she glared at him and said, "You, Xiao Yu sent you out with just one mouthful, but we still don't know what that gift is.
"
Cheng Yu smiled slightly and said, "Mom, don't worry, let's walk to the main road. You will understand when we get there. I'm sure you like it."
Du Xiaoyu had long discovered that Cheng Yu had already held the briefcase in his hand. The secret about this gift must be in the briefcase. Otherwise, when his family was meeting, why would Cheng Yu be so serious about bringing a briefcase? She blinked.
Blinking, she wanted to make a surprise attack and grab the briefcase, but how could Cheng Yu's reaction speed be comparable to hers? As soon as she reached out her hand, Cheng Yu had already turned around slightly and stopped Du.
Xiaoyu's shoulder
He stretched out his arms and let her stand beside him honestly.
Du Xiaoyu reluctantly shook off Cheng Yu's hand and ran to Wei Lan to hold her arm. Under the leadership of Cheng Yu, the four of them walked into the main road together and saw the old office building of Shuishui Police Station.
, Du Changfeng sighed again: "Is the office building of the Marine Police Station still here? It hasn't been moved after so many years.
I came here several times back then to ask for help from the Marine Police."
Cheng Yu smiled and joked: "This is the criminal police brigade. Dad, if you come here to do business, you are committing a crime."
Du Changfeng was stunned, and then said: "Is it the criminal police brigade now? We were not at that time, it was the Shuangshui Police Branch." Of course Cheng Yu didn't understand these, and just explained: "It is the criminal police brigade of the Shuangshui Police Branch now.
, after so many years, the number of personnel must have increased a lot. The branch office back then cannot accommodate so many people now.
, so it became the Criminal Police Brigade."
As he spoke, Cheng Yu stopped and took out a key from his briefcase.
Seeing that Cheng Yu actually opened an obviously dilapidated wooden door, Du Changfeng and Wei Lan couldn't help but frowned.
"Xiao Yu, is this...?" Du Changfeng asked. Cheng Yu unlocked the door, opened the door, made a gesture to invite in, and said, "Let's go in first." Then, he walked in first without hesitation.
It’s not that I don’t know the politeness of respecting the elderly, but it’s night time and Cheng
Yu had to go in first and turn on the big lights in the yard.
Du Changfeng and Wei Lan didn't know what was going on, and walked in with suspicion. Wei Lan asked Du Xiaoyu, who was holding his arm, "Xiaoyu, what is going on here?"
Du Xiaoyu shook his head and said: "He didn't tell me either. He just said it was a secret. He also said that if he told me in advance, there would be no surprise. I don't know what kind of surprise I want to give you as a gift."
After the three of them entered the yard, Cheng Yu had already turned on the electric switch, and the yard suddenly became brightly lit. There was not much to see, after all, the ground was still full of weeds, and the walls of the house were mottled with traces of time.
The large swathes of peeling walls cannot be said to be unsightly, but at least they are miserable.
It's completely like a wild garden that has been abandoned for many years.
"This is?" Du Changfeng became increasingly puzzled, but he seemed to have understood something in his heart.
At this time, Cheng Yu didn't give up and said: "The house covers an area of about 500 square meters, with a front yard of more than 700 square meters, and a back yard of 400 to 500 square meters. With a ninety-year use right, the house is allowed to be demolished and rebuilt."
Du Changfeng still didn't react for a while. He looked at Cheng Yu and asked nonchalantly: "What does this mean?" Du Xiaoyu finally understood. He immediately walked towards Du Changfeng, held his arm, and shook his arm back and forth and said: "
Mr. Du, you are such a big boss, why are you so confused? This is because your son-in-law always covets their yard when he sees you.
The homestead you bought can be built on your own."
Wei Lan was also stunned. Although if there was such a large yard for sale, their family would definitely be able to afford it casually, but Cheng Yu could help find such a yard in the city, which shows that he took great pains. "It's for us."
