"I ...... My car downstairs arrives for you, can you borrow 100,000 yuan?" the man said through gritted teeth.

"Your broken car, I will lend you a maximum of 50,000 yuan, with a daily interest of three cents, and if you don't pay it back for 10 days, the car will be automatically transferred, do you think it?" Zheng Hong briskly reported his conditions. "I can tell you, this is the lowest interest, and you can't get it anywhere else. ”

"My car is a good car, I only bought it last year, and it cost me more than 200,000 yuan!" The man was a little anxious.

"The car doesn't depreciate? Besides, your more than 200,000 yuan is not all the price of the car, but also the road fee and license plate fee? I can tell you, the money I lent you is my brother's life money, and if you lose the car, you can still earn money to buy it, and my brother will not be able to come back if he is gone." Zheng Hong babbled, Zheng Fang's face turned green when he heard it, and his whole body couldn't help shaking.

"I know, I know, you have a good brother, so be it, take 50,000 to come and save the emergency. The man exclaimed impatiently.

"Come, sign and draw the pledge first, let me tell you, borrowing money at this time is the easiest way to change feng shui, and you can win the money back later. As Zheng Hong spoke, she had already squeezed to the borrower's side, took out some paper and asked the man to sign it.

"Hey, you look stupid, don't you play, if you don't play, get out!" The other person listened to Zheng Hong's words, and was dissatisfied, seeing that Zheng Mingliu was still there looking at Zheng Hong, and he didn't even shuffle the cards, he couldn't help but scold, urging him to deal cards as soon as possible.

"Play and play, labor and management will not kill you all today, and labor and management will never stop!" Zheng Mingliu shouted, shuffled the cards in his hand, and handed the cards to Zheng Dong, Zheng Dong had a cigarette in his mouth and distributed them one by one.

"I bet on Lao Zheng, today Lao Zheng is sitting in the village, and the wind is very smooth!"

"I bet on the old man, lost sixteen in a row, and then borrowed money, and this time I was sure to win. ”

"I'm going to bet on Boss Tao, Boss Tao, it's up to you!"

……

All kinds of banknotes will be covered with the table after a while, Zheng Dong's fingers keep swinging on the table, put everyone's chips neatly, and confirm them one by one, and then beckoned everyone to open the cards, suddenly, the room sounded a shout, the winning cheers, the losing depressed, and then, Zheng Hong was busy borrowing money out, Zheng Dong tore a new deck of cards, and the gambling continued.

Zheng Fang slowly fell to the ground, Tong Jie gently stepped forward and grabbed his hand that was already trembling slightly with anger, he didn't understand what happened to his father, mother, brothers and sisters?

"Do you recognize them?" Tong Jie asked softly, she already felt Zheng Fang's anger, but after all, those people were Zheng Fang's relatives, and since she was married to him, she could only stand with him, including his family.

Shaking his head silently, Zheng Fang took Tong Jie's hand, and his figure flashed, and he had already appeared outside the village, but he did not return to Tian Qiming's car, but went to another secluded corner.

"I have to be quiet and sort things out, they, they don't have to do this at all, the money I sent is enough for them to live!" Zheng Fang looked at Tong Jie in despair and muttered in his mouth. The thought that his family was committing a crime made Zheng Fang almost go crazy, and what would he do if the police arrested them and put them in prison?

"Maybe it's because you take too much care of them, you have too much money, but how to spend it, they ...... They don't see much in the world, they don't know what business to do, maybe at first they just play mahjong by themselves, entertainment and entertainment to pass the time, and later found that this business can make money, and the result is getting bigger and bigger......" Tong Jie analyzed for Zheng Fang in a low voice.

"How so, how so, how long has it been? I don't think I even recognize them. Zheng Fang muttered.

"Don't you notice, in fact, whether it's your father or your younger siblings, they're all very happy?

"If you're going to change them, you have to think about it, you have to find someone for them that they can do, something that keeps them busy, so that their life is meaningful. People can't just eat and drink......" Tong Jie closed her mouth halfway through speaking, and she had to give some examples, after all, it was about Zheng Fang's father and mother, and it was not easy to say it.

Listening to Tong Jie's persuasion, Zheng Fang nodded blankly, and then shook his head again, he looked at Zhengjiawan from afar, and felt more and more strange, the road was different, the weeds on the side of the road were different, the bridge was different, and even the people were different.

"Let's go, let's go back to Lakeside City tonight. Zheng Fang held Tong Jie with his backhand.

"What's the matter, you don't plan to recognize them, they are your relatives after all, even if there is something wrong, you can slowly correct it, this is not a responsible attitude!" Tong Jie's eyes widened in the dark.

"In their eyes, I am long dead, and what right do I, a dead man, have to accuse them. Zheng Fang said gloomily. "Like you said, if you don't let them gamble, I have to find a business for them to do, but I know what kind of business to do? Seeing that they are doing well, I am satisfied, if I recognize them, it will give them a ...... to rely on."

"Whether it's good or bad, it's all the path you choose, my father and my mother are all this age, what qualifications do I have to teach them how to live? Perhaps, irresponsibility is responsible for them. As Zheng Fang spoke, he suddenly became excited.

Suddenly, Tong Jie understood Zheng Fang's distress, Zheng Fang didn't go home because he wanted to do something for the family, he had done enough for this family, he wanted to recognize his father and mother, he wanted to find the warmth of the long-lost home, but he found that he couldn't find it anymore, his younger brothers and sisters kept talking, and they were still talking about their dead brother, but they were still using Zheng Fang's residual value.

He hoped to be favored by his parents, cared for by his older brother, and adored by his younger siblings, but he found that he could no longer get what he asked for, and he had just become a sign for his family to earn money, which made him especially sad.

"Perhaps...... Maybe I recognized you, and it would ...... Will it change......" Tong Jie looked at Zheng Fang, unconsciously tears burst out of his eyes, if he consciously cheated death back then to make himself an orphan, then everything he saw tonight made him completely an orphan psychologically, life was so cruel to him, so that Tong Jie couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"Let's go. Zheng Fang shook his head faintly, and walked towards Tian Qiming, who was squatting on the side of the road, Tong Jie looked at his back and unconsciously fell down, depressed and lonely.

"You still have me!" A sudden dissatisfaction suddenly rose in her heart, and after a pause, Tong Jie quickened her pace to catch up with Zheng Fang and grabbed his arm.

"What's the matter, do you want me to say hello to the local police?" Tian Qiming saw Zheng Fang and the two coming, and hurriedly greeted him and whispered. At this time, Zheng Fang realized that Tian Qiming had been working in the local area for a long time, and I was afraid that he would already see the way out at a glance, and the so-called greeting to the public security was probably aimed at letting the local police open up to Zheng Fang's family.

"Thank you, no!" Zheng Fang shook his head and got into the car with Tong Jie one after another. "Let's go back to Lakeside City. ”

"Actually, this kind of thing is very common in our rural areas, the economy has been invigorated in the past two years, the peasants have money in their hands, but they have nowhere to spend it, a city household registration is very expensive, they can't enter the city, they shrink at home every day, don't play money, what do they do? I see that your family is a little big, this is big, first, the family must have power, and second, you must do things fairly, and you can't go out of ......."

Tian Qiming saw that Zheng Fang's mood was wrong, and he said that he recognized his father's mother, but he pulled his legs and left, knowing that Zheng Fang was not used to gambling with this farmer, so he explained to Zheng Fang the reason for the prosperity of gambling in the countryside.

"Thirdly, you have to be considerate. In fact, the public security bureau can't do anything about it, wildfires can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows, which is generally the first and last years to catch it, mainly to generate income, gambling is everywhere, and there are not many of your families. ”

"I told you that I also have a younger brother who died early, named Mrs. Zheng, do you remember?" Looking at the dark night outside the window, Zheng Fang suddenly turned his head to look at Tong Jie and said faintly.

"I remember, it seems that I was only two years old when I died, right?" Tong Jie replied, holding Zheng Fang's hand.

"Mrs. Zheng died when Qingming was not clear, my father and mother buried him on the soil slope behind our village, and later, it should be the Mid-Autumn Festival, my father brought home a moon cake, cut several pieces with a knife, and gave it to us to eat, at that time Zheng Yang was already able to eat, and also divided a piece, I looked at the moon cake in my father's hand, and felt that the moon cake was so small, everyone really couldn't share much......"

"I'm worried that my father will share a piece for Mrs. Zheng, and during the Dragon Boat Festival, he said that Mrs. Zheng was too young, but my mother deliberately gave him half a zongzi. As a result, when my father divided the moon cakes, he didn't share Mrs. Zheng's part, and I wanted to remind my father that Mrs. Zheng still had a share, but I thought that if I gave another share to Mrs. Zheng, my share would be much smaller......"

"Later, I saw that my mother didn't speak, I didn't squeak, that time the moon cakes were not distributed to Mrs. Zheng, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, we didn't go to the grave to see Mrs. Zheng, later, except for Qingming, the winter solstice, no one in our family has ever seen Mrs. Zheng again, later, I rarely even think of him, just like tonight, at this time, I remembered that I also have a younger brother named Mrs. Zheng. Zheng Fang said lightly.

"But...... But you will definitely remember him in your heart, just like when you think of him tonight, just like Qingming and the winter solstice when you go to pay tribute to him, he will always be in your heart, but it will not always appear, just like our friends, we will think of him, but unless we see him every day, how can we always think of him? That's impossible. Tong Jie said.

"Just like me, I'm afraid you only remembered me when you came to Hu'an, in the northern capital, you can't forget it outside the clouds. Tian Qiming, who was driving the car, was also sullen and upset for himself.

"You,, I can't remember who you are now?" Zheng Fang scolded with a smile.
