Chapter 487: Huge Wealth

Su Xinghui laughed: "That can also be considered Boss Hou's good upbringing."

Hou Dali said: "It's passable, this is also the shade of the ancestors."

While speaking, the two walked to a courtyard gate. This was a vermilion lacquer gate, and the lacquer was very new; it should have been repainted in recent years.

Entering the gate, Su Xinghui saw that this was a very large courtyard, with at least dozens of square meters just for the courtyard. He couldn't help but say: "This courtyard is really not small."

Hou Dali said: "This courtyard is really not considered large now. Originally, this entire Zhuangyuan Lane belonged to the Hou family. These courtyards were all three-entry and three-exit, which was truly a deep mansion and large courtyard. Later, these courtyards were divided by descendants, separated, and became small courtyards. Some owners of small courtyards are no longer surnamed Hou. Now, the only small courtyard still surnamed Hou is my family."

Hearing Hou Dali's words, Su Xinghui was also filled with emotion. Of course, he could hear that there were still many unspoken meanings in Hou Dali's words. A large family of hundreds of years, in the long history, has experienced countless hardships. It is already a kind of luck that the Hou family can still have Hou Dali's descendants remain in Zhuangyuan Lane.

How many big figures who were prominent in history have their descendants disappeared in the long river of history?

Su Xinghui followed Hou Dali into the gate. In the courtyard, there were main rooms, east and west wing rooms, as well as a kitchen and a firewood room. In the kitchen, a woman in her fifties was busy.

In the courtyard, there was a large dog, a local native dog. It was tied with an iron chain and lay lazily on the ground. Hearing someone come in, it stood up alertly, and its ears stood up. Hou Dali made a gesture to it, and it lay back on the ground.

Hearing the door sound, the woman went out to see. She said to Hou Dali: "Dali, are there guests at home?"

Hou Dali said: "Yes, cook a few more dishes at noon."

Su Xinghui hurriedly said: "Boss Hou, I won't eat at your place at noon, it's too much trouble."

Hou Dali laughed: "Little Su, what is this? We are also old acquaintances for many years, a friendship across generations. You are taking care of such a big business for me today, it is only right to have a meal at my house."

Hou Dali's words were not wrong. Su Xinghui had been buying stamps from him since he was a child. Although he didn't buy much, he chatted with Hou Dali a lot. Su Xinghui learned many philatelic knowledge from Hou Dali.

Su Xinghui had a pure character. He could be said to have been watched by Hou Dali as he grew up. Many boring times when Hou Dali guarded the stamp stall were also spent chatting with Su Xinghui. They were indeed old acquaintances and friends across generations.

Su Xinghui was not pretentious. Since Hou Dali said so, he nodded and said: "Then I will bother Boss Hou."

Hou Dali said: "Then don't call me Boss Hou anymore, it sounds strange."

Su Xinghui said: "Alright, then I will call you Uncle Hou."

Hou Dali then nodded and laughed: "That's right." ===== CHAPTER 489 =====
