Shan Zhe never thought that one day his father would actually walk into his room, sit on the edge of his bed, and talk to himself with heart-to-heart words.

On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, on the last day of 2002, Shan Yong came to Shan Zhe's room and looked at Shan Zhe lying on the bed sending messages, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward for a while.

Shan Zhe sat on the head of the bed, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who already had some gray hair on the top of his head, and suddenly began to wonder if the person in front of him had a wrong tendon, otherwise how could he be like this.

Shan Yong didn't notice the strangeness in Shan Zhe's eyes, and broke the deadlock and asked directly: "Xiao Zhe, listen to your grandmother, your girlfriend will come to our house in the next year?"

"Hmm. Shan Zhe nodded and said.

The temperature in the room seemed to have dropped a few degrees, and Shan Zhe noticed that his father's eyebrows jumped twice unconsciously, but the smile on his face still did not disappear, which couldn't help but make Shan Zhe a little suspicious that his father was really a prodigal son?

But to be honest, Shan Zhe doesn't want him to turn back, because only if he continues to be ruthless, can he treat him according to his true heart, not to mention, he can't go back.

"Where is your girlfriend from, what do your parents do, how many people are in the family?"

The old-fashioned blind date asked three times in a row, and Shan Zhe who asked was embarrassed and committed. Shan Zhe had no choice but to wave his hand and said, "Come on, if there is anything, you can say it directly, if you continue like this, you will be embarrassed and I will be embarrassed." ”

When Shan Yong heard this, he immediately stopped pretending to reflect his father's love, and sat up straight and said, "That's the case, I want to ask you for money." ”

"How much money?"

Although Shan Yong is Shan Zhe's father, the two have hardly spoken since Shan Yong and Wang Xia divorced, and if you calculate it carefully, they are actually like strangers with a father-son relationship.

Maybe in his last life, Shan Zhe still had expectations for him, looking forward to the day when he could understand that only he was the only sustenance when he was old, but in this life, Shan Zhe had already lost confidence in him, because in his previous life, he had not been able to turn back until he died, let alone the life in which he could only live for ten years.

No, not ten years, only six and a half years left.

"Two million... No, a million will do. Shan Yong originally said two million, but when he saw Shan Zhe squinting his eyes directly, he hurriedly changed his words to one million. What's more, he originally planned to ask for a million.

Shan Zhe opened his eyes and asked, "Why do you want so much money?"

"I learned from a friend that Ningcheng is going to set aside a piece of land as a national economic development zone, so I want to buy a house there to do some business and take the opportunity to make some money. ”

Shan Zhe knew that Ningcheng was going to plan an economic development zone, that is, to upgrade the previous Cixi Development Zone, but now it is only a plan, and it will be seven years later, that is, in 2010.

However, buying some houses now and putting them there is also a surefire deal to demolish them later. It's just one million, although it's just a drop in the bucket for me, but giving it to Shan Yong is equivalent to a waste, and I'm still a little reluctant.

"Aren't you in business now, will you have no money?" Shan Zhe asked after thinking for a while.

"It's too slow to make money, and it will take at least ten years to buy a house, and then the daylilies will be cold. ”

"Then tell me, what house will you buy that will cost a million?"

"It's a three-story apartment building on the side of the road, covering an area of about 1,500 square meters, and if the boss hadn't lost all his money in gambling, it wouldn't have been so cheap, so I wanted to take this opportunity to buy it. The price I negotiated with him was 2 million, and I made up 500,000 yuan by myself, and I borrowed 500,000 yuan from the bank, but there was still a difference of 1 million. I don't want to miss this opportunity, otherwise I wouldn't have spoken to you. ”

Shan Zhe listened to Shan Yong's words, and couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, it turned out that he would only sit in front of him and talk to himself like a father when he was forced to be helpless.

Sure enough, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change.

In the end, Shan Zhe is still soft-hearted, and he can't be as ruthless as him, take out paper and pen from the drawer, ask him to write his bank card account on paper, and let people transfer the money after the New Year.

At the same time, he asked him to write an IOU, an IOU with a loan amount of two million and no interest for ten years.

Shan Yong looked at Shan Zhe with some displeasure, and he also heard that Shan Zhe had sent 100,000 yuan to each of the firefighters. So he didn't understand why Shan Zhe could give so much money to others, and why he had to make an IOU when he gave himself.

But in the end, he wrote the IOU anyway. Because he felt that even if he wrote an IOU, Shan Zhe would not really let him pay it back, but if he didn't write it, he would definitely not get these two million, so he would not be able to buy that house...

Wait, two million? Shan Yong looked at the words on the IOU, and suddenly looked up at Shan Zhe.

"Someone will send these two million to your card in the next year, remember to check. After speaking, Shan Zhe went directly to lie down in the quilt and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Shan Yong put the written IOU on Shan Zhe's bedside table, sighed softly, and turned around and walked out of the room.

"How's it going?"

As soon as he arrived downstairs, Li Qing ran directly to Shan Yong, and asked Shan Yong, who had just come down from upstairs, with an expectant expression.

Shan Yong stared at her for a while without speaking, but after a while he still sighed softly and walked past her without answering her questions.

Li Qing followed behind him and asked relentlessly, knowing that this matter was related to the future lives of her two sons. She clearly knows that although Shan Zhe and Shan De Shan Zhi are half-brothers, Shan Zhe will never give his company to Shan De Shan Zhi even a penny, so a good life still has to be fought for by herself.

In the end, Shan Yong couldn't stand Li Qing's unrelenting twittering, so he had to nod to her. Seeing this, Li Qing jumped three feet high happily, and the eyes that looked at the man in front of her were also a little gentle.

Shan Yong looked at the two little guys who were sleeping on the bed, and muttered in a low voice: "Sure enough, I took the wrong step." ”

…

After Shan Yong left, Shan Zhe looked at the door that had been opened for a small time, and couldn't help complaining. My father's habit of not liking to close the door still can't be broken.

When he closed the door and was about to go to bed, he caught the IOU on the bedside table. I threw it in a drawer and slipped into the quilt and fell asleep.

When it was close to twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Shan Zhe was woken up by a knock on the door, and when he saw Shan Li standing outside the door, Shan Zhe knew that it was time to go outside to keep watch and set off firecrackers.

washed his face with cold water to sober himself up, and then Shan Zhe and Shan Li came to the gate with a large plate of firecrackers, and at the moment when all the pointers at hand were pointing to the top, the two directly lit the firecrackers, and in the sound of explosions, the two ran directly into the yard, and the village began to sound firecrackers one after another.

The new year has begun.

…

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a few underage little guys came over to kowtow to their elders one by one to beg for New Year's money, and Shan Zhe was not qualified to press the New Year's money because he would be twenty years old in another month.

moved the rocking chair he bought for Daddy to the door, and Shan Zhe lay directly inside basking in the sun with his eyes closed. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he was not allowed to leave his relatives, so Shan Zhe didn't have to worry about someone coming to his house to disturb him.

But it turned out that Shan Zhe was wrong, because there were many children between the ages of six and ten running to his door, lying on the ground and playing with glass marbles.

Glass marbles hit the ground

Shan Zhe, who was disturbed by the sound, couldn't sleep, and just wanted to get up and let them go somewhere else to play, he saw Shan Tingfang coming over with a few oranges.

Shan Tingfang handed two oranges to Shan Zhe and asked, "Do you want to eat them?"

Shan Zhe nodded, and said with a hippie smile: "Eat!"

After speaking, he took the orange directly from Shan Tingfang's hand, quickly peeled it clean, and held it in his hand to admire the sun.

At this time, a few little children who were originally playing with glass marbles drooled when they saw the orange in Shan Zhe's hand. In their expectant gaze, Shan Zhe directly swallowed the orange in his hand in one bite, and looked straight into the eyes of several little children next to him. When he reacted, he cried and went to find his mother, and Shan Zhe happened to be clean.

"How old are they, and they are still like children. Shan Tingfang stretched out his hand and knocked Shan Zhe's forehead, and scolded with a smile.

Shan Zhe rubbed his forehead and said, "Who let them disturb my sleep." ”

After a while, the little boys came back again, only this time in addition to glass marbles, they also had oranges and bananas in their hands, and their eyes when they looked at Shan Zhe began to be full of provocation.

As soon as Shan Zhe wanted to teach them a lesson, he was stopped by Shan Tingfang, only to hear Shan Tingfang say: "I learned about you and Lin Yinan from my eldest sister, what are you going to do?" I just hope that you will not become an irresponsible man like Dad, you know what kind of life we have lived since childhood. ”

It's over, and it's time for the teacher to ask for sin.

As soon as he heard this, Shan Zhe was a little big, and he couldn't wait to say directly that I would live for a few years, can you not let me make these meaningless choices.

But he can't say it, once he says it, he doesn't know what this family will become now, so Shan Zhe can only suppress the impulse in his heart and say to Shan Tingfang: "I know it in my heart, don't worry." And I promise you, I really haven't done anything to them. ”

"You just know in your heart, I can't help you with this matter, but it's better to solve it as soon as possible, the longer it drags on, the more reluctant it is. ”

Shan Tingfang returned to the house, and Shan Zhe continued to lie in the rocking chair to bask in the sun.

Why don't you know that the longer you drag it on, the more reluctant you become? It's just that now it's at the point where you can't bear it, so you can only get by like this and go with the flow. I just hope that one day they will be able to recognize themselves as scumbags, slap themselves and then turn around and leave.

…

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, many aunts, uncles and aunts who Shan Zhe didn't know came to his home to pay New Year's greetings. Without exception, every family has a few children in twos and threes, and when they see Grandma Shan Zhe, they kneel directly without saying a word, kowtowing and knocking, hoping that Grandma Shan Zhe can give a big red envelope.

But what they didn't know was that the red envelopes in Shan Zhe's grandmother's hands were all wrapped in advance by Shan Zhe. He had long expected that there would be this one nine times out of ten this year, so he wrapped some red envelopes of 100 yuan in advance and handed them to his grandmother, which can be regarded as a big red envelope in the countryside.

At first, Shan Zhe's grandmother didn't have a reason, thinking that Shan Zhe had too much, just wrap ten yuan and twenty. But where is Shan Zhe willing, if he really wants to wrap ten yuan and twenty, he has to be scolded to death by others behind his back, and he doesn't want his grandmother to be scolded behind his back when he is so old.

After the New Year's greetings, those apparent relatives stayed at home for lunch. But there are so many people that there are so many that Shan Zhe's house can't sit at the big round table with a diameter of two meters.

Forced to be helpless, Shan Zhe had no choice but to casually pick up some dishes and put them in the bowl, and left the table with the rice bowl.

When everyone saw that the protagonist was gone, how could this work. The protagonist is gone. How do you want to say your purpose? Who to tell me? Thinking of this, everyone hurriedly got up and wanted to squeeze again, leaving Shan Zhe on the table, so that they could put forward their own purpose.

Shan Zhe saw that they were really
