Chapter 211: Reminiscing with Old People (1)
In October, the ginkgo biloba leaves begin to turn yellow, and the small courtyard is cool, with the occasional yellow leaf falling, like a small golden star dotted on the grass.
The courtyard was very quiet, and there was almost no sound. Huo Zhongnan put his hand in the pocket of his bathrobe, stepped on the cobblestone path, and pushed the door in.
The heating was on inside, and it was hot, and the heating rushed in his face, making him frown.
"The host finally showed up. Tang Wenji was sitting in front of the tea table, savoring Zhong Lin's hospitality, when he saw Huo Zhongnan coming in, he got up with a smile and stretched out his hand to him, "Your small courtyard is good." Know how to enjoy. ”
"Keeping you waiting. Huo Zhongnan changed his serious, cold face just now, smiled slightly, and motioned to him: "Uncle Tang, please take a seat." Sit down and say. ”
He didn't reach for it.
Tang Wenji's brows moved slightly, and he sat back with a smile.
"Tell me, what did you call me here for?"
Huo Zhongnan sat opposite him, his eyes slightly teasing, "It's not with you." ”
This answer made Tang Wenji briefly surprised. Immediately, his eyebrows returned to normal, "You and my uncle and nephew, don't beat around the bush." ”
The corners of Huo Zhongnan's lips were hooked, and he said casually: "Uncle Tang came to me a while ago, but it just so happened that I was not in good physical condition and didn't see you." Uncle Tang didn't scold me in his heart, did he?"
Tang Wenji took a sip of tea, "What's the matter?" I'm just worried about you. There was some bad talk out there, and I was very worried about your body at that time. ”
Huo Zhongnan smiled and propped his fingers on his temples: "Gone to half a life." Fortunately, Hades won't accept me. ”
"You are a blessed child. Lao Zhao has a spirit in the sky, looking at you. Tang Wenji sighed, "But you, kid, are still too alienated from Uncle Tang." If there is anything in the future, if there is anything that cannot be overcome, you will come to me. Do you know?"
Huo Zhongnan looked at Tang Wenji's sincere face and smiled.
"There is really one thing I want to ask Uncle Tang for advice. ”
"Eh! It's too polite to ask for advice. If there is anything, you can say it directly, you know everything, you can say everything!"
Huo Zhongnan thought about it seriously, "Did Uncle Yu mention to you that he wanted to buy Fucheng?"
Tang Wenji did not answer, and acquiesced.
Huo Zhongnan solemnized a cold face and looked at him: "Uncle Yu hopes to take it at a low price." But now, two or three have been in contact with us, and the price is much higher than that of my uncle. ”
Hearing him say this, Tang Wenji seemed taken aback.
"Isn't this floating city an unfinished building?
Huo Zhongnan laughed, "Where did you hear that the floating city is unfinished?"
It is impossible for Tang Wenji not to understand how much money has been invested in this project.
He was stunned, looked at Huo Zhongnan, and said with a smile: "What do you mean? Let me give you an idea? Do you sell it to your Uncle Yu, or sell it at a high price? Or, you don't want to sell your Uncle Yu, let me help you persuade him to stop?"
Huo Zhongnan smiled silently.
"If you want me to say, your Uncle Yu is a real person. You sell it to him, maybe the price is not so high, but the final degree of completion will definitely be the most satisfying to you. After all, Fucheng is also your painstaking project, and if you want to sell it, you must find a reliable buyer, right? Anan, you don't lack this money. ”
Tang Wenji said very sincerely.
In this trance, people can't figure out whether it is true or false.
"You and Uncle Yu have a really good relationship. ”
The smile on Huo Zhongnan's lips made Tang Wenji's heart suddenly feel a little cold.
He was stunned, "You don't believe my advice?" Anan, you're still too young. Uncle Tang's words are all heartfelt. ”
"I believe it. Huo Zhongnan nodded and added, "I'm just envious." ”
"Envy?"
"Envy for my dad. ”
Speaking of his deceased father Zhao Yaoxuan, Huo Zhongnan's eyes obviously showed a layer of coldness.
"If he is here, he will probably be the same as Uncle Tang and Uncle Yu. ”
"That's for sure. Tang Wenji said: "Speaking of which, my relationship with your father back then was much closer than that with your Uncle Yu. The two of us went to the countryside in the same batch, arrived in Yujia Village on the same day, and happened to be assigned to a dormitory, which is not an exaggeration to say that they are like brothers. ”
"What about Uncle Yu?" Huo Zhongnan asked casually.
"Uncle Yu?" Tang Wenji seemed puzzled.
"Does he have a good relationship with my father?" Huo Zhongnan asked.
"They!" Tang Wenji lowered his head to drink tea, frowned slightly, seemed to be thinking, and said for a long time: "They shouldn't have any friendship." ”
Speaking of this, Tang Wenji laughed.
"At that time, your father was a high-level intellectual, and Yu Dazhuang was a grassroots farmer. Moreover, you may not know too well, when your father was young, he was a little arrogant, well, in the words of your young people now, it is - cold. Ordinary people don't like to deal with it. ”
Huo Zhongnan said: "It's not easy to get along. ”
"Haha, you can't say that about your dad. Speaking of the past when he was young, Tang Wenji seemed a little excited, and his eyes were shining, "He just doesn't talk much and doesn't like to socialize with strangers, but he is really kind, which fellow needs help, he must be the first to arrive." Real people. ”
After thinking about it, he looked at Huo Zhongnan again, his eyes full of loving smiles.
"That's all you want to hear from me today, right?"
Huo Zhongnan smiled: "I can't hide it from Uncle Tang." ”
"Do you miss your father?" the smile on Tang Wenji's face widened,
But at this moment, I heard Huo Zhongnan say: "Today is his death day." This yard was built by him before his death, and he was going to use it to care for the elderly with my mother. ”
Tang Wenji's face changed color slightly, and his eyes subconsciously looked around.
"The house is good, Lao Zhao has a good eye. ”
Huo Zhongnan didn't let go of any emotional changes on his face, and smiled again when he saw this.
It was in this room that he took his last breath. ”
Tang Wenji turned his head and looked surprised.
Huo Zhongnan seemed to smile: "Uncle Tang, scared?"
"Alas!" Tang Wenji shook his head and sighed, "You should have told me earlier, you see that I didn't prepare anything, so I came empty-handed." I hope Lao Zhao has a spirit in the sky, don't blame me. ”
A cup of tea is slowly taken down, and then slowly falls on the tea table.
The expression on Huo Zhongnan's face remained unchanged for half a minute.
"Uncle Tang is polite. It's been more than ten years, and I've almost forgotten it. ”
"Alas!"
Tang Wenji always sighed like this today, "Lao Zhao is really not worth it." When I heard about this, I couldn't believe it, how could he ...... at such a young age Why did you go?"
The cause of Zhao Yaoxuan's death, almost no one knows the inside story.
Back then, the Huo family claimed that it was an accident, but no one knew what the accident was and how it happened.
Tang Wenji's eyes showed doubts at the right time.
However, Huo Zhongnan didn't intend to solve his doubts, and smiled faintly.
"Uncle Tang doesn't know?"
