Chapter 39: Cold Heart

Gu Mu has never been a moral pacesetter, to say that when he was a child, he still had some concepts of right and wrong, good and evil, but when he grew up, he worked hard at the bottom of the society for so many years, suffered countless setbacks, and he has left right and wrong behind and has become a particularly realistic person.

He wanted to build a road named after himself in the village, but he just wanted to show off his wealth in front of the villagers and satisfy his vanity.

In his opinion, it is more practical to do such a thing, at least show off his wealth without making people hate, and he can end up with a good sentence after many years.

As long as the road is there, his name is there, and what a glorious thing it is.

However, now that I haven't come back for a few years, my house has become like this, and my heart is cold.

With such an old home, he felt that he would never return in his life.

stood for a long time, then waved his hand to Wang Qiang very depressed, and said, "Forget it, it's not interesting here, let's go." ”

"Where are you going, will you go back to Pengcheng now?" asked Wang Qiang.

"Let's go to my mother's grave and go back. Gu Mu was silent for a while and said.

Originally, there were some enthusiastic people, but when they saw their houses being ripped up like this, their enthusiasm cooled down.

The car stopped in front of his house and took Wang Qiang and Xiaoxiao to the hillside next to the production team.

His mother was buried on this hillside.

After his father's death, he did not go to the grave, because since he was a child, his father had a very bad attitude towards him.

From his father's body, he did not feel family affection.

Now that he knows that this father is most likely not his biological father, he naturally has no intention of sweeping the grave.

But his mother was still very good to him, it was one of the few beings he could make him feel warm when he remembered the past.

miserable, he died before he was 50 years old.

Then he also left his hometown and went out to work, and it was nearly ten years since he left.

In the past ten years, he has moved bricks, set up stalls, worked as a security guard, delivered takeaways, and lived a hard life, wanting to go home, sometimes he doesn't even have the money to go home.

When moving bricks, I met the contractor who didn't pay the salary, and when I set up a stall, I met the chengguan stall, and there was basically no leave when I was a security guard for the New Year, and there was a takeaway leave, but with a girlfriend, all the money was spent on my girlfriend, and the money I hadn't earned had been counted by my girlfriend into my future shopping, and I couldn't get the money to go home.

And he really didn't want to return to his hometown so poorly, which made some people who originally looked down on him look down on him even more.

In those years of struggle at the bottom, and encountered many difficulties, so that he did not go home once in nearly ten years, and did not sweep his mother's grave once, which made him feel a little guilty when he remembered it.

Now that the bitterness has come to an end, a rich father has fallen from the sky, and he can finally return to his hometown, so he naturally wants to visit his mother's grave.

There is a family at the bottom of the hillside, Gu Mu also knows it, when he was in junior high school before, he had no money to pay for tuition, so his mother borrowed a few hundred yuan from this family.

Now there happened to be someone in this family at home, and when Gu Mu passed, the head of the household was weeding in a field outside the yard.

People still know each other, but they are much older.

"Uncle Xie, are you still busy on such a hot day?"

He went over to say hello.

It was an old man who was already in his seventies, he was old, and his reaction was a little sluggish, after hearing Gu Mu's greeting, he raised his head to look at him, and looked at him in confusion for a long time, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, oh, you are a child of Gu Laowu's family, I haven't seen you come back for a few years, why did you come back today?"

Gu Mu took Xiaoxiao's hand next to him and said, "Didn't I just get married, come back to pay respects to my mother, and also report this good news to her under Jiuquan." ”

"Is this your daughter-in-law?" Xie Sanbo glanced at Xiaoxiao and boasted, "Your daughter-in-law is really handsome." ”

"It's average," Gu Mu said modestly, "She means that the conditions at home are a little better than ordinary people, and they are well maintained, so she looks a little more beautiful." ”

Xie Sanbo couldn't help but take his words and asked, "What does she do at home?

"Where is it so high-level?" Gu Mu said modestly, "Her family is from Jinzhou, that is, there are several mines in the family, and they are ordinary people like us." ”

"Is there a mine at home?" Xie Sanbo was shocked, looked at Xiaoxiao again, and was already in awe of her, and said, "This is a rich family!"

"I don't have much money," Xiaoxiao remembered the lines Gu Mu gave her, and said modestly, "There are only four or five coal mines at home, which is not worth much, and it is nothing compared to those big bosses." ”

Xie Sanbo exclaimed: "Four or five mines, that's a big boss! Gu Mu, you are smoking in your ancestral grave, and you can marry such a good daughter-in-law." ”

"It's okay, it's okay. ”

Gu Mu was modest, and then introduced Wang Qiang to Xie Sanbo: "This is my bodyguard." ”

Under Gu Mu's strong request, Wang Qiang appeared in a white shirt and tie, and with a pair of sunglasses, which was quite intimidating to the underworld in movies in the 90s of the last century.

Xie Sanbo glanced at him, but he didn't dare to take a closer look, but sighed: "Gu Mu, you are now developed, and you even have bodyguards." ”

"It's okay, it can only be said that I have achieved financial freedom, and hiring a bodyguard is also for safety, but in fact, there is not much money. Gu Mu said.

He enjoyed Xie Sanbo's envious eyes very much, which alleviated the depression of his yard being stripped off a lot.

As he spoke, he took out a wallet with a stack of pink banknotes in it, took a few to Xie Sanbo, and said to him: "Xie Sanbo, you used to lend me money to go to junior high school, otherwise I wouldn't have found such a daughter-in-law now, I came back this time without any gifts, you can take these to buy cigarettes and smoke." ”

Xie Sanbo was pleasantly surprised to accept the money and said, "Your child has been out for a few years, and people have become so generous. ”

In the past, he remembered that when Gu Mu was at home, he did everything to death.

Of course, at that time, people really didn't have money.

"People always change, and now I'm not bad for money. ”

Gu Mu said with a smile.

Then he said: "I want to go to the mountains to sweep my mother's grave now, I have nothing at home now, I can only ask you to borrow a firewood knife and hoe, it won't delay your work, right?"

"No delay, no delay. ”

After receiving hundreds of dollars from others, what's wrong with borrowing tools?

Xie Sanbo hurriedly agreed, gave him the hoe in his hand, went to find him a firewood knife, and groped for a pair of incense candles and a stack of paper money from home, and said, "To see your mother, you can't miss the courtesy." ”

He wouldn't have been so attentive to Gu Mu, a junior, before, but now that he has married the daughter of the coal boss, he is a rich man, so of course he needs to be diligent.
