Chapter 29: Uncle Cousin who suddenly appeared
Shi Xiaofeng left the small temple and walked up the mountain quickly, thinking about the words of the half-immortal in his heart.
"There will be great tribulation in ten days!"
What kind of "great difficulty" will it be? Excluding natural disasters and sudden accidents that are irresistible to manpower, who will harm me? Shi Xiaofeng's first thought was Shi Tianci.
Time pushed forward, and the second thing that came to mind was Ni Tiantian.
This evil young man is a soft bone, although he is far less gloomy than Shi Tianci, but he is used to relying on the power of his father Ni Gang. I beat him up in the street, and even though I paid the price for the broken bones, I'm afraid he won't let me go - this guy is not a small suspect.
The third thing that comes to mind is Yokoji Shinzo of the Japanese Black Snake Society.
This guy has extremely high martial arts, and this time he was inexplicably defeated under my hands, so he was naturally extremely unconvinced, and it was not impossible for him to cross the ocean to find me for revenge.
Besides these three people, Shi Xiaofeng couldn't think of anyone else who wanted his life.
Coming to the entrance of the cemetery, Shi Xiaofeng bought incense and paper money at the stall, and quickly entered the park in three steps and two steps to find the area where his father's cemetery is located.
Hey, from a distance, it looks like someone is paying respects at my father's grave. Today is neither Dad's death day nor Qingming Festival, who will come to worship?
When I got closer, I found that one of the two worshippers was my mother. It turned out that as soon as her front foot left, she followed her back foot. But didn't she say that the aunts were going to come to dinner in the evening, why did she come to the cemetery again?
The other person looked like a tall old man from the back, who was he?
Shi Xiaofeng called "Mom", and the mother turned around and saw her son, with a trace of imperceptible embarrassment on her face, and said, "Xiaofeng, come here, I've seen you Uncle Shi!"
The tall old man turned around, and Shi Xiaofeng's heart suddenly shook, and he had a feeling of "vague acquaintance". But seeing that he was about sixty years old, with a kind face, and the more he looked at his appearance, the more familiar he became, as if he were a close relative, but he could not remember where he had seen him......
In an instant, Shi Xiaofeng was in a trance, like a fool.
"This kid, when he sees the elders, he doesn't have any courtesy at all!" His mother's words woke up Shi Xiaofeng, and he hurriedly shouted: "Shi, Uncle Shi is good!"
Uncle Shi didn't seem to mind, he smiled, hugged Shi Xiaofeng's shoulders very kindly, and said, "Xiaofeng, Uncle saw you once when you were just full moon, and now you have grown so big." ”
Mom explained: "Uncle Shi is your father's cousin, you should call Uncle Cousin." Shi Xiaofeng respectfully called out again: "Uncle Tang." "I thought no wonder I felt so close to him, it turned out that we were related by blood.
But then I thought: Since I was a child, I have never heard my father say that he has such a cousin, and my mother has never mentioned it, how can a cousin suddenly appear?
Uncle Tang seemed to see his doubt, and said with a smile: "Uncle has been developing overseas for more than 20 years, and he only returned to China this year. I remembered that I hadn't seen your father for many years, so I deliberately took the time to come to J City, but I didn't expect that things were wrong, and yin and yang were separated by ......" Speaking of the last sentence, Uncle Tang's face was solemn and his voice was choked.
Shi Xiaofeng's eyes were also red, and he hurriedly burned incense, kowtowed, and burned paper money. Uncle Tang looked at the photo of his father on the tombstone and said: "Brother, don't worry, my younger brother and sister are living very well, Xiaofeng has also grown up, a talent, young and promising......"
Shi Xiaofeng blushed, thinking that I resigned twice in a year, and my father would know about it, but I was afraid that I would be so angry that I couldn't sleep well in the underworld.
It's not early, my mother invited my uncle home for dinner, and Shi Xiaofeng also had a very good impression of this elder and hoped that he would stay for a few more days.
Uncle Tang said: "No, this time we will drive out by ourselves, we will go to the south to sign a very important contract, the detour to J City has been delayed for half a day, and we must rush to Guangzhou overnight today! The last sentence was said to Shi Xiaofeng.
Shi Xiaofeng expressed his understanding and persuaded his mother not to be polite anymore. The three of them walked down the mountain slowly, and saw a black car parked at the foot of the mountain from a distance, Uncle Tang stopped, took out an envelope, and said to his mother: "This is a deposit receipt, which is some pocket money that I have saved for you and your mother in the past few years, the money is not much, but it can also improve your life." ”
Shi Xiaofeng is a little strange, it is common for relatives to give gifts to each other, but it is rare to send money directly, and Uncle Tang's sentence "the money saved for you two mothers" is even more intriguing and incomprehensible.
What's even more strange is that the mother was unceremonious, took it casually and handed it to him, saying, "Son, take it, thank you uncle." ”
Shi Xiaofeng thanked him, thinking that his mother had never been willing to be favored, why was her words and deeds so different from the past?
When the people waiting next to the black sedan saw the three people coming, they immediately started the car. Shi Xiaofeng saw his respectful demeanor towards Uncle Tang, most of them were Uncle Tang's subordinates. I also saw that this car is a Mercedes-Benz S350 worth millions, judging from the specifications of the car alone, the scale of Uncle Tang's company should be above Ningjia Company.
Uncle Tang asked his mother to sit in the front, and he and Shi Xiaofeng sat in the back row, chatting intimately all the way.
"Xiaofeng, my uncle's career in China is booming, and he is in need of talents in many aspects, I heard your mother say that you are an MBA from a prestigious university, I wonder if you are interested in working in your uncle's company?"
This is a godsend for Shi Xiaofeng, who has just resigned, but he remembered the words of the half-immortal, "There will be a great disaster within ten days!" He has always been reluctant to cause trouble for others, so he replied: "Thank you uncle for your kindness, but I just graduated from university, I still want to break through first, accumulate some experience, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely go to my uncle's company!"
When my mother heard this, she was so anxious that she scolded the "stupid boy", but Uncle Tang laughed: "Good boy, ambitious and ambitious, just with... Your father was the same when he was young! Uncle came in a hurry this time, he didn't bring a business card, your mother has my phone number, and the child remembers that as long as you want, you can come to your uncle's company at any time!"
While speaking, they arrived at the military compound, and Uncle Tang got out of the car to say goodbye to the two, and then got in the car and left. Driving far away, my mother was still standing on the side of the road, obsessively looking at the car in the sunset.
Shi Xiaofeng took out the deposit slip in the envelope, looked at it and shouted: "Mom, come and see, why did Uncle Tang give us so much money?" - the number on the deposit slip is 500,000 yuan!
Mom took the deposit slip and glanced at it, but her expression was the same: "Well, yes, I can marry you a daughter-in-law." ”
Shi Xiaofeng said loudly: "Mom, don't you think it's strange, 500,000 yuan can still be called 'pocket money'? 500,000 yuan can buy a small villa in our J city!"
His mother glanced at him: "This stupid child, what are you shouting on the street, do you understand that 'wealth is not exposed'?"
Back at home, Shi Xiaofeng had a stomach full of doubts, and asked first: "Mom, didn't you say that the aunts were coming for dinner, why didn't any of them come?"
Mom smiled: "Because of the distinguished guests." Mom wants to accompany Uncle Tang to visit your father's grave, so I will inform my aunts to come back for dinner tomorrow. ”
Shi Xiaofeng pondered for a while, and finally said: "Mom, I think this cousin has an unusual relationship with us, you must have something to hide from me!"
"Hun boy is talking nonsense again, what's unusual?"
"Mom, you see, cousins are definitely not as good as biological brothers, cousins should be regarded as distant relatives, but this cousin is better to us than several uncles! ”
"What's so strange about this, your dad has grown up with this cousin since he was a child, and his relationship is better than that of his own brother. Your cousin's business is very big now, and the money is just a drop in the bucket for him. ”
"In that case, why haven't you ever heard my dad mention this cousin?"
"This one...... Your dad is a man with a lot of self-esteem, he didn't go to college to become a soldier, but your cousin uncle went abroad to study, so he never mentions it in front of you...... Okay, mom is going to cook, stinky boy is talking so much nonsense!"
Shi Xiaofeng was stunned for a while, and always felt that his mother's explanation was a bit far-fetched.
