It turns out that the person I love has always been there

about property

After the grandmother passed away, Li Huaiyu and Lu Li lived in the old bungalow. This bungalow has gone through several generations. It was once bought by Li Huaiyu's great-grandfather from a British businessman. She gave birth to two daughters, one of whom traveled across the ocean with her husband and passed away a few years ago. His grandmother bought the other half of the house 20 years ago. When Li Huaiyu graduated from high school, his grandmother informed his parents. With a bang, before he went abroad to study, he changed the property rights of the bungalow to his name.

The two have no offspring and do not need to pass on their property to future generations.On this day, Li Huaiyu found someone to appraise the assets under their names on a whim, including their stocks, funds, movable property, real estate, and some collectibles.

With the consent of their parents many years ago, the two went through the notarization of intended guardianship.

Lu Li walked into the study room and put the cut fruit by his hand. He glanced at the document in his hand, and was shocked by the zeros behind it. His lifetime earnings could not even reach his fraction.

Li Huaiyu pulled him over, hugged him and sat on his lap, and said to him with the asset appraisal form, "I plan to ask my brother to help me draw up a will, and I will deal with these assets after we pass away. I plan to convert part of the stock fund There are still several real estates that have been cashed out, set up a fund, and handed over to the fund group to take care of it. After the fund project is established, it will be subsidized to places and people in need. This bungalow has been discussed with my grandmother before, and it will be donated to Government, that's where it's at its best, what do you think?"

"Just make your arrangements, I'll listen to you." Lu Li felt that his suggestion was good, so he naturally agreed, "Mom sold the old house before, and gave me both the savings and the new house. I plan to give the new house to Joan, and the rest At that time, it will also belong to the fund you set up, and do your best."

"It's good that the fund can be established in the name of the two of us. I will find a time to invite my brother to come to my house for dinner and ask him to prepare for this matter."

Song Tang had never been to the bungalow where Li Huaiyu lived before, and this time he was also exposed to work. Under the guidance of his aunt, he walked into the bungalow. The furnishings of the 30s, the time of this house seems to have stopped since then .

The warm winter sun shines into the house through the window lattice. Li Huaiyu is wearing a formal suit and sitting in a retro single sofa chair. There is a burning fireplace in front of him. He is already in his 50s but looks like he is nearly 40 years old.With the growth of age, the temperament becomes more and more warm and elegant, which complements the interior furnishings, just like the noble son who just returned from overseas.

"Brother, you are here, sit down, I will trouble you on the rest day."

"Hahaha, it's okay. Although this is a business matter, it is also a private matter."

"Senior Brother Song, you're here." Lu Li came upstairs, also wearing a formal suit.

Song Tang looked at the same person who had been favored by time, and it seemed that he hadn't changed for so many years.

"What's the matter today, it's all so formal." Song Tang asked with a smile, but he was dressed casually.

Lu Li sat next to Li Huaiyu and poured him a cup of tea.

"Today I invited a friend to take a photo. In the past, when the old lady was here, I would invite someone to take a photo every year. I would like to keep it as a thought. Now that the old lady is gone, Lu Li and I feel that it is meaningful and we continue to do it every year. This year is the 19th year. It just so happened that you came here today, and after signing the will, take photos with us."

"Okay." Song Tang handed the documents in the briefcase to the two of them. "This is a will I personally drafted. You can see if there is anything that needs to be changed. It will be fine if you two don't sign on the last page." Song Tang hesitated for a while and joked: "This can be a huge fortune, and some people can't earn it in several lifetimes."

Li Huaiyu took Lu Li's hand with a smile, kneaded his fingertips, and said with a smile, "No, Lu Li is the greatest wealth in my life, and the only wealth that I will take away after I die. I have already bought it." In the cemetery, after we die, we burn the ashes and put them in the urn together, and I have to hold him and reincarnate together."

Lu Li looked at him in astonishment, but saw him looking at him tenderly as always.Then she showed her face to him, "It's scary for you to be romantic."

"Did you forget that there are still people here?"

The three met each other and laughed.

Li Huaiyu and Lu Li saw that there was no problem, and both parties signed.

about photos

Since I bought this bungalow, I will take a family photo every year when the family reunite. Later, some passed away, some went out to develop, and it was difficult to reunite. The days of the years are integrated into the book.

The photographer is Jian Ling, a freelance photographer. His ancestors have run a photo studio since the founding of New China, and now it has become his studio.

Li Huaiyu's grandmother went to the family photo studio to take pictures when she was young. After having Li's mother, she invited Jian Ling's father to come to take pictures for the family every year.

Until he was born, grew up, and returned to this bungalow.Jian Ling visited with his father a few times when he was a child, and the two got acquainted with each other because of this. Li Huaiyu returned to China in junior high school, and went abroad for further study and work after high school, while Jian Ling did not return to China until he graduated from university. He went to S City to take over the family photo studio, so the two were just acquaintances before. Later, he replaced his father to take pictures of Li Huaiyu's family. Since then, they have become familiar with each other. Jian Ling invited Li Huaiyu and Lu Li to visit his studio. Shocked by his collection of cameras of different ages and models on the four walls, Li Huaiyu once agreed with him to take a thorough picture of the inside and outside of the bungalow.

Because Song Tang had other things to do, the three of them took a few photos together, and he left first. There were only three of them left. Jian Ling had long wanted to take a group of black, white and gray Republic-style photos for the two of them on the spot. With half a month left, I excitedly called and discussed with the two,

On this day, he specially brought a 45% new Linhof Technika [-]Ⅳ camera and three specially selected Zeiss lenses from the European flea market. .

Jian Ling never intentionally put them in various poses, and only observed the two of them as a display in the room, so as to capture the heart-warming scene by surprise.

The manners of the two have always been impeccable. Jian Ling only needs to choose the composition and lighting. In the camera, the two are sitting in chairs on both sides of the fireplace. Li Huaiyu holds today's newspaper in one hand, drinks coffee, and looks at the Lu Lifu thoughtfully got up and went to the bookshelf in the study to get the glasses he had bought earlier.Lu Li stretched out his index finger to hook his side face, Li Huaiyu raised his head, Lu Li put the glasses on for him, and they looked at each other and smiled.

The shooting went smoothly as usual, Jian Ling put down the camera, as far as he knew, the two were not registered for marriage, but the parents of both sides met each other to recognize the relationship.

Lu Li and Li Huaiyu went back to their room and changed into home clothes. Lu Li was dragged by Jian Ling to look at the photos he had taken. Li Huaiyu went back to the study to deal with some things and got late. The sun was setting and the three of them went outside to chat. Auntie made tea and gave it away Come out and prepare refreshments for them.

A week later, Jian Ling delivered the photos to the two of them. At night, Lu Li took out the photo album and put them in one by one. There was a room in the bungalow where the photo albums that had been kept since Li Huaiyu's grandfather were specially placed. Li Huaiyu sat beside him. , The two flipped through the photo album.

The years fly by at the fingertips, from colorful to black and white silhouettes, what remains the same is the people who accompany you, who have been with each other for a lifetime.

About old things in the attic

In the third year after moving into the bungalow, the housekeeper regularly came to clean the house on rest days, and Li Huaiyu returned to the company to work overtime.The weather was fine, after Lu Li finished watering the flowers and plants, he opened the roof of the greenhouse to let the sunlight shine in directly.

The aunt was watching in the house. When one of the housekeeping aunts was cleaning, she found a key in the corner. The aunt had never seen it before. There are so many houses in the house. Except for the keys of the commonly used rooms, which are placed in the public area, the others are taken away by the owner. Put them together in a fixed location, and only some rooms need to be cleaned, and the keys will be handed over to the aunt at home.

Auntie took the key and went to the conservatory to find Lu Li and handed it to him, "I don't know where the key is, and I haven't heard where the key is lost. You put it away and let him see it when Huaiyu comes back."

"Okay, I'll tell him when I get back, you can do other things first." Lu Li put the key in his pocket, and his aunt was going to make lunch, so he nodded and went back to the kitchen.

When Li Huaiyu came back, Lu Li was connecting the water pipe to water the lawn and trees in the front yard and backyard. His figure was stretched and projected onto the fence. The pressure that has no place to release is split into two long and narrow waterlines, and they shoot at the target plants in the distance one by one, playing different roles in their mouths, and with the plot in progress, "The fire continues to spread in the direction of one o'clock ahead, which has endangered Surrounding buildings must increase their offensive to contain the fire." "Change the water cannon, clean the surrounding buildings and flammable materials, and block the path of spread." "Comrades, you have worked hard, clean up the scene and withdraw the team." It was like this After playing without moving for a while, I watered a piece of vegetation thoroughly.

Li Huaiyu stood behind him and watched him play with great joy, using the water pipe as a water gun to shoot this and that. After a while, when it came to the end, he released the pinched and deformed mouth of the water pipe, and the water slowed down, "咚咚咚咚" Lu Li put down the water hose and was about to close the sluice, but the people behind him stepped forward to close it before he did.

"Huh? When did you come back? How long have you been watching behind me?" Lu Li followed behind.

"Just came back." Li Huaiyu held his hand, bent over to scrub his muddy fingers, and then took a clean handkerchief to dry their hands.

"Just go home and wipe with a tissue."

"The housekeeping is still cleaning, so I won't go in for now, and go to the greenhouse to sit."

"By the way, do you know which room this key belongs to? Housekeeping found it in a corner, and Auntie doesn't know which room it was lost in."

Lu Li handed him the key in his pocket.

"The key?" Li Huaiyu took it and looked at it. The sealed rooms in the bungalow are all the keys he keeps. He will open and clean them regularly, and none of them are missing.

"I lost it earlier, and I made another one later, so there will be an extra one." Seeing that he couldn't remember for a while, Lu Li guessed like this.

"There is a place I have been forgetting, probably the key there."

Li Huaiyu pulled Lu Li back to the room, and went up the stairs at the end of the corridor on the second floor. There was a small attic above. Li Huaiyu walked up the steps and tried to insert the key into the aging lockhole. Turning the key, the door lock clicked. "It opened in response.

Pushing open the attic door, it hadn't been opened for many years, the dust was a bit choking, Lu Li covered his nose and waved the dust, and pressed the switch on the left hand side, the incandescent light bulb flickered before turning on the dim light. Objects, big and small, are covered in dust and cannot see their true colors.

Lu Li asked, "Do you remember what's in it?"

"I probably remember that they are all old things from the past. When I was a child, I put some old things here. Later, I lost the keys and forgot here." Li Huaiyu picked up a wrought iron toy car model. The paint on the body had faded and rusted. stained.

"Housekeeping hasn't left yet, since it's opened, let them clean up here as well."

"Ah."

The two retreated from the attic, and arranged for people to go upstairs to move things out one by one and scrub them clean.There are things left by the predecessors, some things from his grandmother's childhood, his mother's old books, and some toys from his childhood. The items in them range from pocket watches to large cabinet gramophones, and they are piled up in half a room.

Many items were broken, the two picked and picked, and threw away some that were no longer useful, and the remaining two thought about repairing these old items when they were free.

Among them is a cabinet-style phonograph, which is well preserved, but some parts are seriously worn out. Li Huaiyu asked a relatively famous antique shop from Jian Ling, and the two drove to the antique shop on weekends to find a restorer to repair this phonograph. Many parts have been damaged. It was very difficult to find, and it took more than a month to repair it. When the two went to pick it up, they bought some and the vinyl film back.

After taking a walk in the evening to digest food, Li Huaiyu went down to the wine cellar to get a bottle of wine, Lu Li took the wine glass, went upstairs and turned on the phonograph in the living room, and put on the vinyl.

When the sound sounded, it seemed as if the time went back to the era of warlord separatism, the flames of war were raging, and singing and dancing were still in the peaceful concession.

Li Huaiyu pulled Lu Li up, put his arms around Lu Li's waist, and motioned for him to put his hands on his waist.

Lu Li held his shoulder with one hand and his waist with the other, looked at his feet, "Mr. Li, I can't dance."

"It's okay, step on it once, and let me fix it again at night."

As soon as he finished speaking, his foot hurt, Lu Li moved his foot away with a smile, whispered a number in his ear, and asked with a smile, "Is it enough?"

Li Huaiyu caressed his lower back vaguely, "You say enough is enough."

With his chin resting on his shoulder, Lu Li danced along to the sound of the phonograph, occasionally touching his toes, intoxicated by the tranquility of the years.
