Chapter 366: The Secret of the Bank Card (Part II)
Since returning to his hometown with his girlfriend, Qiao Nan has been as much as he wants, obviously he is a shrewd and capable young owner of Jixiang Wonton House, but he seems to be a stupid son of the landlord's family, and he is so happy that he shows his big white teeth every day.
After breakfast, he said that he took Wen Jing out on an electric car. Wen Jing asked him why he didn't drive, and he smiled and said, "In this small place in Hong Kong City, don't all cars have to give way to electric cars?
That's just as well.
It is said that Qiao Nan is riding an electric car, and he is chic like those beautiful boys who rode very stylish motorcycles in Hong Kong films in the 80s of the last world. But instead of going directly to the beach, he rushed diagonally across the corner from the auspicious wonton restaurant. I don't know where I went, but he suddenly stopped the car. Wen Jing was startled and hurriedly asked him if he had hit something?
"No, it's just a rush of hunger. ”
……
Wen Jing pounded him: "You ate ten xiaolongbao and two fritters just now, and you didn't do anything, why are you hungry again?"
"I was full, but I saw what I wanted to eat, so I was hungry again. ”
……
It's really speechless.
"Wenwen, you wait here, I'll buy you better steamed buns. ”
Wen Jing looked up and saw that Qiao Nan had parked the car in front of the "Wangjia Bun Shop". I remember that he came here once, when he said goodbye to his ex-girlfriend last year, he bought a few steamed buns.
Within a few minutes, Qiao Nan came back with a plastic bag. It stands to reason that he should cheer when he buys something delicious, but he is very disappointed and can't lift his spirits.
"Qiao Nan, what's wrong? The buns you want to eat are sold out?"
"It's not...... It was the old owner of this shop who passed away. ”
Qiao Nan looked up at the signboard and sighed: "I have liked to eat this family's steamed buns since I was a child, and when I was in high school, the dormitory students couldn't come out, so I brought them every morning." Of course, that's not allowed by the school, so I have to take it secretly. Uncle Wang and I in this store have the most tacit understanding, and they can wrap me as quickly as possible every time, and we cooperate seamlessly. I didn't see Uncle Wang just now, so I asked casually, only to know that he had passed away last year, and now his son has taken over his class. ”
I see. The electrician is a person who misses the old love, and the old man is no longer there, is he sad?
Qiao Nan puffed out his cheeks and exhaled, saying, "I'm too far away from home, and I stay at home for a short time. Every time I come back, I feel that there are fewer people on this street. ”
Obviously, he was afraid of arousing his girlfriend's sadness, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "You try this fennel-stuffed bun, my favorite food when I was in school, you should also like it." ”
"Qiao Nan, since I came to Hong Kong City, my mouth has not been idle, your parents let me eat delicious food every day, what should I do with my figure?"
Qiao Nan had already swallowed one in two bites, and said vaguely: "It just so happens that we all think that you are too thin and should eat more." ”
His eating appearance was particularly tempting, Wen Jing swallowed her saliva and couldn't help but take a bite. The fragrance of fennel blends perfectly with the aroma of meat, and it is indeed delicious, no wonder he likes it so much.
But she still felt guilty about eating the perfect food, and after getting back on the electric car, Wen Jing shouted into his ear: "From tonight onwards, you can also take me to exercise!"
Qiao Nan laughed: "Where to exercise, what to exercise?"
……
……
……
Wen Jing twisted the meat on his waist again, warning him not to be arrogant anymore. Qiao Nan begged for mercy repeatedly, and then became angry: "Why can you tease me again and again, and I can't tease you once?"
"No, you can't!"
"Why? It's not fair!"
"Because I'm shy!"
……
Qiao Nan put away all his dissatisfaction. has arrived at the coastline, Wen Jing wraps her boyfriend's waist, puts her face on his back, the sun on her head, faces the sea breeze, and the days with him are so good.
In the afternoon of the same day, Qiao Nan went to Lao Dong's house to work as an electrician and helped him tinker with the TV, and Wen Jing was in the wonton shop, quietly choosing leeks. Lao Qiao went to the bank, and when he came back, he found that there was only Wen Jing in the store, so he looked around to find his son. Getting along with Wen Jing alone, he is still inevitably embarrassed.
Wen Jing saw his thoughts and reminded in a low voice: "Qiao Nan went next door to help." ”
"Hmm...... Leek...... You can leave it there and wait for me to get it. ”
"It's okay, Qiao Nan said that he wanted to eat dumplings with leeks and eggs, so I chose it. ”
"You can leave it alone, I'll get it. ”
Old Joe has become a repeater again, turning over and over, these are these two sentences.
Wen Jing smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Qiao, I didn't have to be polite to you, and you don't need me to be polite." I do what I can and feel comfortable. ”
"Uh-huh. ”
Qiao Jianjun agreed twice, lowered his head and walked to the back kitchen. But after a while, he came out again and said, "There's something I've always wanted to ask you." ”
"What, what's the matter?"
Lao Qiao took out a bank card and said, "Did you call the money in this card?"
Wen Jing's face changed, she wanted to hide it, but she didn't hide it well, and finally turned into an embarrassed smile: "Oh, Uncle Qiao, I don't even know Qiao Nan's card number, how can I know your card number......"
"I've asked the boy, so don't hide it anymore. ”
Regarding this strange bank card, Qiao Jianjun thought about it for several years, but he didn't find a clue. First of all, the person who sends money will definitely not be Qiao Lu, every time she sends money to her family, she sends it generously; it will not be Qiao Lin, she is not completely self-reliant, and her family sends her money every month, where can she have the ability to send money to her family?
The most suspicious is Qiao Nan, in the years when the relationship between father and son was stiff, he was likely to use this roundabout way to express his love for his family. When he was dying, there was no money for this card, and after he recovered, this card began to collect money again.
Therefore, during the time when Qiao Nan was recuperating from his injury at home, Lao Qiao asked him very seriously if it was his money. Qiao Nan denied it in one bite, he didn't even know how many bank cards his father had, how could he make money? Qiao Nan also said: "What's so embarrassing about me making a money? I have to give it to you so secretly?"
It also makes sense, Lao Qiao temporarily ruled out his son's suspicion, and called his old comrades-in-arms again to inquire. Those old comrades-in-arms also said that if Lao Qiao was short of money, they would just say it, and if they sent money to Lao Qiao, they would directly remit it. A group of big men, where do you need to make such a twist and turn?
So, Lao Qiao blocked his son again and tortured him: "It's really not your money?"
Qiao Nan leaned helplessly against the wall: "Dad, scout senior, old Comrade Qiao, do you want to beat your son into a trick now?"
It seems that it was indeed not this kid who did it, Lao Qiao let him go for the time being, and continued to tirelessly pursue this unsolved case.
Around May Day this year, Old Joe came home and slept with his wife for a long time. So, in the middle of the night, Li Lanzhi was woken up by her husband's shouting. She struggled to shake her husband awake and asked him if he had any nightmares.
After waking up, Old Joe was still in shock, gasping for breath for a while, and then said, "I dreamed of that woman." ”
"Which woman?"
"Ning Meihua. ”
“…… She...... Isn't she Wen Jing's mother?"
"Yes, this is the first time I've dreamed of her. ”
Lao Qiao still had palpitations, panting vigorously, Li Lanzhi beat his back and asked, "What did she say in her dream?"
"I saw her standing beside my bed...... No, she pushed open the door and walked in. When I saw her, she was crooked and she was smiling at me...... It's really scary. She said three words to me, please. Old Joe wiped his sweat and said, "You don't know that the voice, it's like it came down from the sky, fluttering, fluttering, killing me...... It's not that she's scary, it's because this dream is so realistic that I'm scared. ”
Old Qiao is also a famous Qiao bold, and Li Lanzhi was scared like this for the first time when he saw him. After comforting her husband, she lay on the bed and speculated: "Is it because Wen Jing's father is not good, so she told you this and asked Wen Jing to our family?"
"I guess it is...... But it's not good for us to ask Wen Jing about this. If there is anything, she will tell Qiao Nan! When the time comes, we can help her. ”
"Well, don't think about it, you can sleep a little longer. ”
But not long after Lao Qiao lay down, he sat up again: "Laneige, do you remember, Mother Wenjing...... Stuffed money into our house several times. ”
At this time, Li Lanzhi also sat up: "I remember! She put it four or five times, and each time it was 100 yuan. ”
Thinking of this clue, Lao Qiao suddenly figured out what was going on with the money in that bank card.
At the wonton restaurant, he told Wen Jing about the past: "In 91 and 92, 100 yuan was almost my monthly salary, which was a lot of money. I don't know who gave it, but the last time, it seems, was in October '92, when your mother shoved the money into the crack in the door, I saw it. I gave her back the money and asked her not to come back in the future, I don't blame her, it's not easy for her to pull the child alone. If she really wanted to atone for her sins, she took her husband with her. That time, your mother left crying and never came back. I thought I was hurting her by saying it too hard...... Later, I heard Qiao Nan say that she died in a car accident that year. ”
"I heard my grandfather say that he had lung disease and had been taking medicine, and when my mother returned to Hong Kong, she didn't want to drag him down, so she sold some jewelry and opened a household registration for me to learn violin. She also got a job as an accountant at Fuqian Primary School to earn money to support her family. My dad was on the run and called her for help, and she went to great lengths to send him US dollars, telling him that it was the cost of the trip to turn him in...... As a result, my dad took the money and ran away. My grandfather said that it was really not easy for my mother, and under such difficult conditions, she still saved money to pay off my father's debts. I was still young, I didn't know how she paid it back, I didn't hear her complain, she was smiling every day, so I didn't even know that something was wrong in the family. As soon as I hear from you, I understand......"
Every time she mentions her mother, Wen Jing always bursts into tears. Old Qiao also sighed, handed her a tissue, then took the bank card, and asked, "Now you can tell me what happened to the money in this card, right?"
