Chapter 1226 The Old Professor's Attitude

After this matter is resolved in three months, even if Li Yousan causes any trouble, she will have a way to solve it.

As long as it is within a controllable range.

Of course he couldn't say these words to his uncle.

The main reason was that he was afraid that his uncle would know that he treated his friend like this and he was afraid that he would be angry.

Qiao Liancheng stayed here for a day.

The uncle was worried that the old professor of painting was not very skillful and would take two or three days to get here.

So he took Qiao Liancheng out after lunch and went straight to see the old professor.

In fact, they were only separated by a mountain, but the old professor was quite old and he was unwilling to go down the mountain easily.

Even if you want to go down the mountain, you must be mentally prepared and make various arrangements in advance.

Therefore, it took him at least two days to travel a distance that could be reached in half a day.

I don't even know what I did on the road these past two days.

When Qiao Liancheng saw the old professor, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Li Yousan is an opportunistic person.

He had certain subjective intentions when he deliberately hid in the mountains.

But this old professor is different.

He was simply forced into this place, and even his son stood up against him.

Of course he was totally despairing.

After so many years, the old professor has grown old.

His hair turned white, he looked haggard, and his hands and feet became much slower.

Such old people should be well taken care of outside.

But now it is really not easy to make a living in these deep mountains and forests.

Qiao Liancheng took out the letter written by Jiang Wan and handed it to him.

The old professor took it and opened it.

After reading it, his expression became slightly excited and his fingers began to tremble.

After a long time, he put the letter away with red eyes.

And he said to Qiao Liancheng: "Go back and tell Comrade Jiang Wan that I appreciate her kindness."

"I don't have any children anymore, and I don't have any offspring out there."

"As long as my old bones can still move, I can paint more pictures."

"It would be a good thing if the paintings I drew could be passed down."

"As for the money from the sale of these paintings, it all goes to Comrade Jiang Wan."

"If she is willing to set aside some of it and donate it to people in need, it will be considered as a good deed for me before I die."

Qiao Liancheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Even if you have some resentment towards your son, maybe he already has a son, who is still your family's bloodline after all."

"Are you really not moved at all?"

The old professor waved his hand and said, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings."

"From the moment he proposed to break up with me, there was no longer any relationship between him and me."

"Whether he lives or dies in the future has nothing to do with me."

"My wife and I worked hard to raise him, and I have put in all my efforts."

"I can't let him lie on top of me like a vampire while I'm dying."

"As for the child he gave birth to, if you have the ability, raise him. If you don't, let him have a taste of the consequences of being betrayed by his own son. For the rest, don't come to me."

"I still say the same thing: if you can sell it for money in the future, all the money will be yours to use. I have no second words."

Qiao Liancheng pondered for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.

He knew that the old man had a difficult life, and he did not give up the idea of ​​taking him away.

But now, since he still wants to stay in this deep mountain, we might as well do as he wishes.

Qiao Liancheng left behind a large backpack.

Inside are various white drawing papers, as well as brushes, watercolors, ink and other things, all of which are used by the old man to paint here.

After you finish the painting, you can put it aside first. The next time Qiao Liancheng comes over, he will take the finished painting away.

The old man has a private seal, so just stamp it when the time comes.

This time I have finished all the things that needed to be done.

He told his uncle, "We have to leave early tomorrow morning and be back in the city in the evening."

Upon hearing this, the uncle did not stop him.

Jia Haixia sent a lot of daily necessities through Qiao Liancheng, and the master uncle accepted them with a smile.

The two sat in the yard, looking at the moon and chatting.

The master uncle said: "I remember you were a soldier, and I think you have become a battalion commander, right?"

Qiao Liancheng nodded to indicate yes.

The master asked, "Since you have made many contributions on the front line, you should have been promoted after so many years, at least to a regiment commander. Why did you stop at battalion commander and not move forward?"

"From what Jia Haixia said, you have made a lot of contributions in recent times."

Qiao Liancheng smiled, turned to his uncle and said, "I also want to move up, but my education level is not up to par."

"Every time I applied for a promotion, my application was rejected because I didn't have enough education."

"Because I only have an education level lower than primary school."

"It is for this reason that I am working hard to prepare for college."

"When I finish college this time and go back, I believe there will be nothing that can hinder my promotion."

The master uncle asked curiously, "Do you regret it? Do you blame it?"

Qiao Liancheng was silent for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "There's nothing to complain about."

“The above considerations are not without reason.”

"It's a peaceful era now. If you want to be a general, you need to have some culture and skills. You can't just rely on your rough ways."

"Even if you are very brave in fighting in battle, but after becoming a general you don't have to fight in battle, how much of your ability can you use?"

"No matter how many merits I have made or how capable I am, they are only my achievements as a soldier. They do not mean that I can lead my troops to fight."

"As a commander, there is more to endure and understand. I understand all of this."

The master nodded with satisfaction.

He patted Qiao Liancheng on the shoulder and said, "Young man, your future is limitless."

Having said that, he stood up and went into the house.

After a while, he took out a box and handed it to Qiao Liancheng.

"This is what I accidentally got when I went up the mountain."

"It's no use to me keeping it, so you can take it."

Qiao Liancheng gave him a puzzled look.

He took it and opened the box, and inside was a well-preserved old ginseng.

The whiskers inside are very complete.

However, this was dug by my uncle himself. It was not placed in a box like those ginsengs sold, which were neat and beautiful.

He couldn't help but pick up the ginseng and take a look at it.

I couldn't help but be shocked.

This ginseng is at least 50 years old, perhaps even more than years old.

Because I had been to the hunter village with Jiang Wan several times to collect mountain products, I had some knowledge of the age of ginseng. I also knew how to identify it, so I was shocked.

He looked at his uncle in disbelief and said, "This thing is very expensive. If I take it out, it will sell for a lot of money."

"Even if Master Uncle keeps it, it will help him survive if he gets sick in the future. Are you just going to give it to me like this?"
