Chapter 143: Hou Tao and the "Eight Jin" Niang
Jiang Er listened to Dalin's inquiry, nodded, and said, "Remember, how can you not remember, such a strong woman, impressive." ”
Dalin continued: "Sister Hua also specially asked Ergang, Bajin and her brother-in-law have not heard from her, although the business of the hotel is good, but Sister Hua is sick." I'm bitter in my heart!"
When Jiang Er heard this, he couldn't help sighing, and his mind suddenly flashed to the grocery store yesterday, and he hurriedly asked Dao Dalin: "Is the man from Sister Hua surnamed Hou?"
Dalin said "um", Jiang Er couldn't help but think, is there really such a coincidence in the world? Sons surnamed Hou like to be called Bajin? So he said to Dalin: "Gang also met a kid named Bajin yesterday, his father's surname is Hou. ”
Dalin looked at Jiang Er and hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" Jiang Er continued: "Bazaar, the shop that bought you earmuffs. ”
Dalin couldn't help but recall that when he first came to Yunshan, he and Bai Ying bought New Year's goods for the first time, and it was also the bazaar, and he heard a middle-aged woman shouting "eight catties", so he told Jiang Er again, Jiang Er was puzzled, is there such a coincidence?
Jiang Er asked Dalin: "How old is Sister Hua's kid this year?"
Dalin carefully calculated: "I was more than six years old when I lost it, and I searched for another six or seven years, and my brother-in-law has not been seen for six or seven years, and three or four years have passed in this flash, and now it should be more than twenty, right?"
Jiang Er listened, and the expectation in his heart was one point less, the kid he saw yesterday was at most fourteen or fifteen years old. The two of them summed it up, and felt that it was better to be wrong, and go to the grocery store tomorrow to find out.
In the evening, Zhang Shengli asked Jiang Er to come out to sit down, he was very depressed, the gang of thieves didn't show up for a day, I was afraid that they would run away, Jiang Er was relieved that Zhang Shengli still had a chance, the reason why the gang of thieves came to find Zhang Yuanyuan at the end of the year, must have no money in their pockets, and wanted to make a fortune a year ago, or that the family was short of money, so they filled it for the family, and let the public security deploy near Ma Haichuan's house, just in case, I also helped to find a way here, but Jiang Er didn't tell Zhang Shengli about the eight-door signal, the rivers and lakes are in the rivers and lakes.
There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, Dalin got up early, and wanted to go to the bazaar with Jiang Er, and before going out, Jiang Er looked at the yin and yang fish he hung again, and he was not at ease, so he called Zhang Bin and paged, and took Erlin to Fuxingju to protect Bai Ying in case of accidents.
Jiang Er and Dalin came to yesterday's "Lao Hou Native Daily Groceries" grocery store, yesterday's kid was gone, replaced by a middle-aged man, less than fifty, long and thin, there was a light-colored mark on the forehead, not like a birthmark, but imagined that it was a tender flesh and new skin grown from a wound scar.
When the man saw Jiang Er coming in, he didn't look for the goods, just stared at himself, and couldn't help asking, "What are you buying?"
Jiang Er said: "Lao Gang, Ne is from the official kiln in Yanzhou, and I am looking for you to ask about something." ”
It's just this sentence, the man was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly turned red and white, and he looked a little dizzy, and then he calmed down, and asked a little weakly: "What's the matter with you?"
Jiang Er looked at the man's expression and understood that there must be a problem here, Jiang Er immediately asked: "Lao Gang, do you know Tang Yinghua?" At this time, the man couldn't stand anymore, his body swayed slightly, he sat on the stool behind him, slowed down for a while, and shouted to the back: "Boss (daughter-in-law) boss, you come out for a while." ”
Immediately after that, a chubby middle-aged woman came out, feeling her age
A little older than the man, he asked the man, "What are you doing?"
The man said: "These two customers should find a good casserole, take them to the warehouse, you look at the barricade, and come back immediately." ”
The middle-aged woman still warned the man and said, "Okay, let's go, remember that the casserole on the eighteenth can't be sold cheaply, and the purchase price is expensive." ”
The man nodded after listening, and then he went out first, Jiang Erdalin also followed, the three of them did not go to the so-called big warehouse that the man said, and found a morning stall selling pot helmets on the side of the road and sat down, and the man said to Jiang Er: "There is only this one in Yunshan that sells pot helmets, I like this one." ”
Jiang Er hasn't eaten pot helmets for a long time, or when he was in the official kiln, he bought a few pot helmets for Erlin at Lao Yan's house, Jiang Er and Dalin didn't have breakfast, they also asked for soy milk and pot helmets, and asked the man while eating: "Lao Gang, are you Hou Tao?"
When the man heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alas, Ne is Hou Tao, is it Yinghua who came to let you find me?"
Jiang Er and Dalin glanced at each other, not knowing how to answer, Jiang Er thought for a while and continued: "Hou Gang, Na called Jiang Erxing, although Sister Hua didn't let us come over this time, but Sister Hua has kindness to the two brothers, so Ne took the initiative to look for you, Sister Hua doesn't know yet." ”
Da Lin then nodded and said: "Lao Gang, do you remember that there are two begging children in the official kiln, Han Dalin and Erlin? ”
Hou Tao listened and took a closer look at Dalin, and said Huo Ran: "Oh oh! Remember, remember, Han Dalin, you were only ten years old when you left, right, are you so big now?"
Da Lin said with a sigh: "Sister Hua opened a restaurant to take in the Ne brothers, and she is very good to Ne Although Ne is no longer making a living in Sister Hua's hands, Ne knows that Sister Hua is bitter in her heart, so she helped Sister Hua all the way to find her brother-in-law You and Bajin, brother-in-law, you don't pay attention to ......." Dalin was a little excited, but he was stopped by Jiang Er.
Jiang Er is a clever person, seeing that Hou Tao did not hide his identity, he understood that Hou Tao must have a hard time, so he asked: "Hou Gang, what do you have in mind, talk to the two brothers, and the two brothers will see if they can help you come up with ideas." ”
Hou Tao was a little choked, and hurriedly ate two mouthfuls of the pot helmet, suppressed the grievances in his throat, sighed, and told Jiang Er and Dalin about his past ...... over the years.
Five years after the eight catties were lost, Hou Tao gave up the idea of looking for eight catties again, in order to find eight catties over the years, the family foundation was found, and there was a lot of famine, and the parents on both sides were also very worried about the two of them, thinking that Tang Yinghua could let go of the fetters of eight catties, live a good life, and take advantage of Tang Yinghua's ability to give birth to another child.
But Tang Yinghua was enchanted, every time Hou Tao put forward such an idea, Tang Yinghua accused Hou Tao like crazy, irresponsible, and a cold-blooded animal, Hou Tao felt sorry for Tang Yinghua, so he kept accommodating his daughter-in-law, and for another year, Tang Yinghua saw Yuncheng in the newspaper, cracked a case of abduction and trafficking of women and children, and couldn't wait for Hou Tao to rush to Yuncheng.
Every time Hou Tao heard that such a case had been cracked, he was also very excited, and rushed to Yuncheng full of hope, only to be disappointed again, it was just a case of abduction and trafficking of women, and the suspect denied that he had abducted and sold children.
Hou Tao lost his soul when he returned, and he didn't know how to face his daughter-in-law again
, Tang Yinghua. After getting off the railway station in Yanzhou, I was about to take the car back to Guanjiayao, and I got on the wrong car in a daze and came directly to Yunshan.
Hou Tao slept in the car, and when he woke up, he found that he was in a strange place, the satchel he was carrying was gone, and he took out his pocket, which was empty. At that moment, Hou Tao's heart collapsed, and he ran towards the road like he had lost his mind, and was hit by the driver who couldn't dodge.
When Hou Tao woke up, he thought it was late at night, on the bed in the hospital, his head was wrapped in gauze, and there was no nurse around him, he couldn't think of anything in a daze, and he had amnesia, so he walked out of the hospital without being found.
Hou Tao was in a foreign land, and he didn't have any identity certificate with him, so he couldn't think of anything, so he could only be a homeless man, so he picked up garbage and food given by well-wishers in Yunshan County, and spent most of the year.
One day, Hou Tao, who was rummaging through the garbage can, suddenly heard the voice of a woman shouting "eight catties", and his brain wanted to explode like a hairy pain, but he just couldn't think of anything, he just felt that the sound of "eight catties" was emotional.
So he followed the woman and the child all the way, the woman was also very nervous, thinking that she had met a thief, so she trotted all the way to the house and hid in a panic, no longer coming out, Hou Tao chased to the door of the woman's house, but she didn't dare to do anything else outside the door.
"Shura Warrior God"
Since then, Hou Tao has been hanging around the door of the woman's house all day long, for almost a month, and after a long time, the woman has no other evil intentions except for disgusting and dirty, and gradually no longer afraid of Hou Tao, and tentatively asked Hou Tao what his name is and what he does.
Hou Tao would only say in his mouth: "Eight catties, eight catties." One day, the woman brought Hou Tao home, washed Hou Tao, and took Hou Tao in from then on.
It turns out that this woman is also a hard-working kind-hearted person, in her thirties she gave birth to a big fat boy, named "eight catties", "eight catties" when she was three years old, her husband died in a car accident, this has just passed two years, it is a difficult time, after taking Hou Tao back, he took care of Hou Tao with the complaints of his mother-in-law, and the rumors of the neighbors.
Waiting for a year later, Hou Tao's spirit improved, although the brain is not bright, but the "eight catties" do love very much, the beginning of the day, the two sisters and brothers commensurate, a "eight catties" was bullied by their peers, bullying the "eight catties" of the little partner said that "eight catties" is a child without a father, Hou Tao was anxious, and took away the little friend who bullied the "eight catties" and shouted: "Ne is eight catties of big (father)." ”
From that day on, the sister and brother became husband and wife, and Hou Tao became a veritable "big" in eight catties. Gradually, the two of them set up the grocery store under their eyes and lived their lives.
If things develop like this, it will be complete for Hou Tao and Bajin Niang, who would have thought that Hou Tao, who had lost his memory for five or six years, woke up from a nightmare and his memory was restored. hugged Bajin Niang and cried bitterly, telling Bajin Niang that she still had a daughter-in-law waiting for her, and narrated her past with Bajin Niang.
Bajin Niang is kind, although she feels uncomfortable, she still let Hou Tao go back to the official kiln to find Tang Yinghua, Hou Tao went out after the Bajin Niang was sad and almost turned her back, but in the afternoon Hou Tao rushed back, and Bajin Niang said: "Ne looked at Yinghua from afar, although I don't know if he has a family, but her life is good, and she can't do without you and Bajin Niang." ”
Bajin Niang hugged Hou Tao and cried happily at that moment, since then, Hou Tao has deliberately forgotten Tang Yinghua and lived with Bajin Niang, until today, Jiang Er and Erlin's arrival .......
