Chapter 187 Uncle Wu Guozhi
Originally, Wu Tianlin wanted to rush back to Hancheng from the airport, but because it was already lunch time and before Wu Siqi came to pick up Wu Tianlin and Wang Yuxuan, her mother gave her thousands of instructions and told her to let Wu Tianlin and the others go home to have lunch before rushing back to Hancheng. So in the end, Wu Tianlin had to give up this idea and took a bus to Rongcheng.
The car was running at an even speed on the road. As soon as Wu Siqi got on the car, she pulled Wang Yuxuan and chatted, which made Wu Tianlin become an idle person. He sat in the car, looking at the scenery outside the car window, thinking about his master who was wandering outside. The dusty past came to knock on Wu Tianlin's heart, bringing him back to his youthful age full of fantasy.
An hour passed quickly in memory. When the car stopped in front of Wu Tianlin's uncle's house, Wu Tianlin slowly came out of the memory. He walked out of the car and looked at the small foreign building in front of him. His sister Wu Siqi couldn't wait to run in, and at the same time shouted happily: "Dad! Mom! My brother and sister-in-law are here!"
Not long after Wu Siqi's words fell, Wu Tianlin's little aunt Li Yujiao came out of the house in an apron. Seeing the nephew and niece following her daughter, she had a kind smile on her face and said in a kind tone: "Tianlin! Yuxuan! You are finally here, please come in quickly."
Wu Tianlin and Wang Yuxuan walked to their aunt together, smiled respectfully and said, "Aunt! Hello! I've caused you trouble."
"Aunt! Hello!" Wang Yuxuan, who was standing beside him, said hello to Wu Tianlin, and then said hello to Li Yujiao.
Li Yujiao heard Wu Tianlin's words and complained with a smile: "Look at your child, you are all your family, why are you causing trouble? After receiving your call, your uncle, don't say how happy he was. He made an exception today and went home before 11:30. Now he is waiting for you inside. But my aunt wants to talk about you. Auntie knows that you spoil Siqi, but you can't buy her such an expensive car. Isn't this the idea of increasing her high consumption?"
Wu Tianlin smiled and replied, "Aunt! Look at what you said, I am Siqi, a sister. If I don't spoil her, then who will I spoil? My aunt scolded me at that time, but I still said the same thing. Although thrift is the tradition of our old Wu family, it depends on what it is for, what money is for, of course it is for consumption. If you have money but don't know how to consume, it is no different from having money. Don't the elderly often say that boys should be raised in a lowly manner and girls should be raised in a high-priced manner? No matter how unusual our family's identity is, we can't be wronged Siqi and the others! Besides, my money is made openly, so I can use it whatever I want, are you still afraid that others will be ruthless? I am the only boy in our family, and I am the eldest in the family. As the eldest brother, I must of course take care of my sister, so I not only bought a car for Siqi, but also Xinling and Jinjin."
When Li Yujiao heard Wu Tianlin's defense, she gave Wu Tianlin a angrily glance and said with a smile: "Auntie can't tell you. Now this girl has no aunt or uncle except you, her elder brother. If I hadn't been calling her to come back this time, she would probably have gone to Donghai to find you this summer."
Wu Tianlin walked into the hall and replied with a smile: "Isn't that right? Aunt! I usually have to go to the hospital to work, so Yuxuan is very bored to stay at home alone every day. Siqi happened to have a companion with Yuxuan when we went back to Donghai. Why not let Siqi go to Donghai with us this time when we returned to Donghai! "
"That's not possible! This girl stays in the north all year round because no one cares about it, and now she is lawless. I finally asked her to come back this time. If you tell her like this, she will definitely go to the East China Sea with you immediately. Then your uncle and I will not be by her side, and you dote on her so much that she will not make her even more lawless." Li Yujiao immediately objected when she heard Wu Tianlin's words.
"Mom! I am twenty years old, why do you always treat me as a child who has not grown up? Don't my father often say that girls should learn to be independent? After my brother's work is done, I will go to Donghai with my brother." Wu Siqi in the hall heard his mother's words and immediately retorted, walked to Wu Tianlin's uncle Wu Guozhi, reached out to hold Wu Guozhi's arm, and said coquettishly: "Dad! Just talk about my mother! They are so old, and she even treats them as a teenager."
Wu Tianlin walked into the hall and saw his uncle. He hurried forward and greeted with a smile: "Uncle! Hello! Because I was in a hurry to rush back to Hancheng, I was afraid of the trouble of transferring the car, so I wanted to call you and ask you to send us a car. Unexpectedly, that girl Siqi would also be in Fujian Province. On the way, she said that you and my aunt gave her an order, asking us to come to you first."
Wu Guozhi looked at his nephew and niece-in-law with kind face, and reached out to signal them to sit down and said with a smile: "Tianlin! Yuxuan! Sitting here, you will want to call your uncle first when you come to Fujian Province. Uncle is very happy. If you don't call your uncle, you will definitely be angry when you know that the uncle will definitely be angry. No matter what urgent matter is, you will not delay the time for the meal. After the meal is finished, Uncle will send a car to take you to Hancheng, but can you tell me why I suddenly rushed back to Hancheng in such a hurry?"
Wu Tianlin sat down in front of his uncle Wu Guozhi. When he heard his uncle's words, he shook his head and replied: "Uncle! You also know that after I was separated from my parents, I was adopted by my master and grew up in a Taoist temple in the outskirts of Hancheng City. Last night, my junior brother called me and said that a hot spring was found in the back mountain of the Taoist temple, so the local government prepared to develop that hot spring and build it into a tourist attraction. As a result, at noon yesterday, many cadres asked us to move out within a deadline, but I couldn't understand that even if the scenic tourism was developed, the Taoist temple was built during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it had full significance and could even be regarded as a highlight in the scenic area. But why did the local government let us move out? Now that the master is not here, I am anxious to rush back to find out the situation."
Wu Guozhi fell into deep thought when he heard Wu Tianlin's words. After a long time, he looked up and asked Wu Tianlin: "Tianlin! Your master is a great benefactor to our Wu family, so the uncle must help with the Taoist temple. And you just said that the Taoist temple was built during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Whether it is public or private, we must keep this Taoist temple. However, it seems that such a thing is too much of a problem. Let's do it! Before you leave, uncle will give you a call. When you arrive in Hancheng, you can contact the owner of this phone number. At that time, uncle will call this person in person. If you need help from someone, please let him help you. In addition, uncle will contact you with an ancient building appraisal expert and let them rush to Hancheng to appraise the Taoist temple in the afternoon. If it is really an ancient building, the country will allocate special funds for the protection and maintenance of the Taoist temple every year."
Wu Tianlin didn't actually think about troubleing his uncle for such a thing, so when he called his uncle, he just said he wanted to rush to Hancheng, but he didn't say what to do. So now he heard his uncle say that he would arrange for experts to go to Hancheng to identify the Taoist temple. Once it was really identified as an ancient building, the annual funding would save the Taoist temple a lot of repair costs. Thinking of this, he said happily: "Uncle! The Taoist temple must have been built during the Kangxi period. I saw this in the most primitive Taoist temple land deeds in my master a long time ago. Over the years, I often transferred money to use it for maintenance and expenses in Taoist temples. However, after all, the people in the Taoist temple are not professional masters responsible for repairs. Although they are often repaired, many places are still dilapidated due to the years. The allocation is secondary. If the province can send experts in this field to help our Taoist temple repair, that would be great!"
Hearing Wu Tianlin's words, Wu Guozhi stood up from the sofa and said with a smile: "This is a small matter. My uncle will make it clear for you at that time. Now eating is a big deal. Come on! Tianlin! Yuxuan! It's a common meal at noon. I hope you two will like it!"
After lunch, Wu Tianlin and Wang Yuxuan bid farewell to Wu Guozhi and his wife and Wu Siqi, who wanted to go to Hancheng with them but was reluctantly stopped by his mother, rushed to Hancheng in a car.
After Wu Guozhi watched the car disappear in his sight, he smiled at his daughter, and said, "Siqi! Okay! Don't be angry, your mother is looking forward to you coming back every day. Now you have finally come back once. You will stay at home for a few days and wait for your brother to come back after finishing the work. Then, you will go to Donghai with your brother and your sister-in-law!"
Wu Siqi was extremely dissatisfied because she could not go to Hancheng with her elder brother and sister-in-law, but now when she heard her father's words, she instantly turned to joy. She opened her eyes wide and looked at her father, excitedly kissed her father on the face, and asked, "Dad! Are you saying true? That's great! I love Dad so much!"
Wu Guozhi looked at his daughter's ecstatic appearance and couldn't help but shake his head, saying, "You girl, are getting more and more wild now. My dad and your mom have only seen you for a year. Now they have not been home for a few days, and they are determined to leave the house. No wonder the old people say that their daughter is raised by others."
When Wu Siqi heard his father's words, she acted coquettishly and said, "Dad! Look at what you said, I am going to Donghai to accompany my sister-in-law, not to find a boyfriend. Besides, I won't get married. Then I will accompany you and my mother for the rest of my life, and my brother also said that if I am an old girl in the future, he will support me for the rest of my life."
