Ma Hu was born to Ma Tianlong's original wife, and he is nine out of fifty this year, and he looks only forty or fifty years old if he is well maintained. He has a younger brother named Ma Lian, who is five years younger than him, because his mother died early, and there are many fights in Ma Tianlong's backyard, the two brothers have been supporting each other to survive, the brother's relationship is very deep, and Ma Tianlong's father-son relationship is very weak.

In 1945, the Japanese surrendered, Ma Hu felt that the situation was complicated, mainly because he couldn't judge who won and who lost in the end, so he took his younger brother to Hong Kong by boat.

Ma Tianlong was a dung digger or a street sweeper after his bad luck, Ma Hu didn't know at first, and then he heard people who fled to Hong Kong mention this matter, he thought about coming back to take Ma Tianlong to Hong Kong to enjoy his old age, who knew that it would not be long before it was ten years of catastrophe, and the situation was very critical, and finally under the persuasion of his younger brother, he did not come back.

Now that the catastrophe is over, he contacted the mainland, and learned that Ma Tianlong was sent to a land of poor mountains and bad waters to undergo labor reform nine years ago, and his life and death are uncertain. The reason why He Jianguo was found so quickly and learned of Ma Tianlong's death was due to Professor Jin's return to Shanghai last month, where he mentioned these things to some residents of the Ma family, and it reached the ears of his friends.

Coincidentally, his friend was the son of Professor Jin's old friend, and he pretended to ask Professor Jin a few words casually, and learned that Ma Tianlong did not starve to death in his later years thanks to the wife of Professor Jin's student, and he sued him after returning to Hong Kong.

Ma Hu immediately set off to Shanghai, and after a detailed investigation, he found Chen Sanchuan, who was still in Shanghai at the time, and knew more, this time he came to the door in person, first, Xie Qi Shufang had raised Ma Tianlong for many years, and second, he wanted to collect Ma Tianlong's body.

No matter how indifferent the father-son relationship with Ma Tianlong is, Ma Tianlong has nurtured him and his younger brother, and he has always kept it in mind, and when they left the mainland for Hong Kong, Ma Tianlong secretly stuffed a large bag of valuable gold jewelry into their suitcases. With these things, he and his younger brother quickly gained a firm foothold in Hong Kong and have achieved what they are today.

"I didn't expect it to be so unfortunate, when I came to visit early in the morning, Ms. Qi happened to go out, so she talked to Professor Jin and Mrs. Jin for a while, and heard that my father's bones were here, so I chased them all the way. ”

After Ma Hu finished speaking, Qi Shufang didn't want people to know about secretly helping Ma Tianlong, so she hurriedly shook her hand.

Don't you see a lot of people around you? I must have come to see the excitement of the three cars.

Professor Jin smiled, he mentioned it to Ma Hu, Ma Hu understood very well, and did not mention the fact that Qi Shufang let Ma Tianlong enjoy his old age in peace, and then said: "Professor Jin and his father have lived in the cowshed for many years, which can be regarded as friends in old age, Professor Jin only knows Ms. Qi, so I came to disturb Ms. Qi, and wanted to borrow Ms. Qi's house for a few days to choose an auspicious day to remove my father's bones." ”

Father He heard the movement and walked out of the hall, "Shufang, what's wrong?"

"Oh, Dad, it's okay, it's just that Ma Tianlong's son came all the way from Hong Kong to move his father's grave, because Ma Tianlong and Professor Jin lived in the cowshed together, and wanted to borrow it from our house for a few days. After Qi Shufang finished explaining, she said to Ma Hu: "Mr. Ma, come into the house and talk, it's quite cold outside." "The main thing is that I don't want to be watched by so many people.

"Yes, yes, in. ”

Father He vaguely realized the truth, in fact, some of the actions of his youngest son and daughter-in-law could not be hidden from him, otherwise why did Professor Jin and Professor Chen have such a good relationship with their youngest son's family?

Professor Jin seems to have never broken off the relationship with his son, and immediately after his rehabilitation, he became like a father and son.

Professor Chen is a person his family has never met, he has nothing to do with it, and now he has a very good relationship with his youngest son's family, and he must be taken care of by his youngest son's family. Another point is that several old people have suffered so much and still have plump cheeks, full of energy, and obviously not starving, it would be strange if he couldn't guess the reason.

It's just that the eldest son wholeheartedly followed the instructions from above, and he pretended to be deaf and dumb.

He Jiandang heard that three cars came to the door of his younger brother's house, so he rushed over in a hurry, and was stunned when he learned of Ma Hu's intention.

Qi Shufang took the initiative to mention what He Jiandang did, "Mr. Ma, Ling Zun was able to enter the earth for peace, all because of my eldest brother, and most people like Ling Zun in other places are dead and have no place to be buried." ”

Ma Hu understood and hurriedly thanked He Jianjian.

He Jiandang was flattered, waved his hand and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, I actually didn't do anything." ”

Doing nothing is several times stronger than doing anything, and after learning what happened in this catastrophe, Ma Hu thought so and asked his subordinates to take out the gifts for He's father. Knowing that Qi Shufang's father-in-law was still there, he made preparations early, although it was not a particularly valuable thing, but a few sets of clothes, shoes and socks and a portable radio stunned He Jiandang and his wife and Zhang Cuihua.

Father He refused, and Ma Hu tried every means to persuade him, so he reluctantly accepted it.

There were many people in the hall, and Ma Hu didn't have anything important to say, only Ping'an pulled Qi Shufang's finger and pointed to the black car outside the door, "Mom, the car!"

"Have you ever been in the car, have you forgotten?" Qijin reminded her like a little adult.

"Che Che!" Ping An wanted to run over to see, but was stopped by Qi Shufang.

Ma Hu smiled slightly and beckoned to her, "Little friend, what's your name?

"An An, my name is An An. Ping An hid beside Qi Shufang, poked out his little head and looked curiously at the well-dressed Ma Hu, "I haven't seen you, I won't go with you." ”

As soon as peace was interrupted, the atmosphere in the house was much better.

Thinking that Ma Hu was rushing to move the grave, He Father and He Jiandang took him to worship Ma Tianlong, and saw him put rich melon and fruit steamed bun offerings in front of Ma Tianlong's grave, burning paper and incense, his face showed a trace of surprise and a trace of envy, surprised that he actually did the four old things at this time, and envy Ma Tianlong got the incense that his ancestors could not enjoy.

After the Ma Hu worship, he said that he would wait until the auspicious day of the zodiac was chosen to move the grave.

Hong Kong people are very particular about feng shui, and Ma Hu also pays more attention to these.

The visitor was a guest, He's father invited him to have a meal, and then he took his little granddaughter back to the city with Qi Shufang, the youngest son was not at home, although there were Professor Jin and Granny Jin, but he couldn't be completely relieved.

After arriving home, Qi Shufang told Sù He's father that when he and He Jianguo received Professor Jijin, they had helped Professor Chen and Ma Tianlong at the same time.

"I guessed it. Father He smiled, "So, in addition to moving the grave, Mr. Ma is still here to thank you?"

"Yes, thank you very much to Ms. Qi and Mr. He for their secret help, so that my father was able to enjoy his old age in peace, and I also thank Mr. He Jiandang for his kindness, my father did not expose his body in the wilderness. Seeing that Qi Shufang didn't hide it from Father He, Ma Hu also said his true intention, "I came in a hurry, it was just a small courtesy, and it was not a tribute, please Ms. Qi must accept it." ”

As soon as he gave the order, several bodyguards brought in boxes of gifts in the car, seven or eight boxes of large and small were placed on the ground, and four large and small boxes were piled on the table, not knowing what was inside.

Ma Hu opened a box, took out a beautiful doll, and crouched down in front of Ping An.

"This is a doll given to you by your uncle, do you like it?"

Ping An opened his big round eyes, poked the doll's face with his fingers, and giggled, "Panpan!"

Panpan?

Although Ping An would have called her brother and sister a long time ago, and most of the time she was very polite, but after all, she was young, and sometimes she followed adults to learn words, and she directly called people by their names.

Qi Shufang and Professor Jin looked at each other, the doll had a round face, big round eyes, a round small mouth, a fleshy nose, wearing a pink dress and a bow, except that the hair was not black, it was really four or five points similar to Panpan.

"This is Panpan, this is a doll, come, learn from Mom, doll. ”

"Doll!"

Ping An hugged the doll and didn't let go.

"What did your mother teach you? What should you do when you take your uncle's things?"

"Thank you!" Ping An blinked, holding the doll in one hand, and kissed it with the palm of the other hand to his mouth, and then flew to Ma Hu, "Thank you, uncle, kiss one!"

"Good job!" Ma Hu couldn't help but praise a few words, and then gave seven catties of a colorful Rubik's Cube.

Qijin politely thanked him.

Ma Hu did not stay in the He family for a long time, saying that borrowing was just a pretext, and he set an auspicious day for the zodiac to move the grave, and he took someone to say goodbye.

Professor Jin and Father He took the two children to the study to play, Qi Shufang sorted out the things sent by Ma Hu with the help of Granny Jin, saying that it was a thin gift, but in fact it was not thin at all, the box was full of clothes, shoes and toys, old people, young people, and children's ...... Lace, silk, denim, tweed...... There are dresses, there are bell bottoms, there are leather jackets...... There are all kinds of them all year round, and I can't count how many pieces there are for a while, anyway, the style is novel and chic, and the colors are very bright.

The contents of the box were more valuable, a pair of pens, a pair of watches for men and women, a gold ornament, a bottle of perfume and a set of sparkling diamond jewelry.

"It's really rich. ”

Although Qi Shufang doesn't recognize the brand of pens and watches, with Ma Hu's status, these things are definitely not cheap.

Granny Kim looked at it, "It's not bad, the pen is Montblanc's, the watch seems to be Vacheron Constantin's, it should be a recent model, I haven't seen it before, but I know the brand." The perfume is Van Cleef & Arpels', and the mark is clear. Jewellery is De Beers' fine jewellery, and they have an advertising slogan called 'A diamond lasts forever, a diamond lasts forever'. ”

When the advertising slogan just came out, the Jin family had not yet had an accident, and she often corresponded with overseas friends, so she was clear.

"Master, you are so powerful, you know them all. Qi Shufang knew about imported watches because they were in department stores, and she had heard of them, but when she saw these luxury goods, she really didn't know them, and she had never seen them.

Therefore, Qi Shufang likes gold ornaments the most, picked them up and checked them, and smiled and bent her eyes.

With such a big ornament as a fist, there are not five catties but two or three catties.

She didn't reveal the idea of selling the ornaments if her family was short of money, but packed up her things, went to the study and talked to Father He about going to the capital, planning to wait for Ma Hu to finish moving the grave before leaving, there are many things at home that can't be taken with her, and no one at home is watching or worrying, Father He immediately said that the farm work at home is not busy, and he can come over to help take care of the house, and wait for He Jianguo to come back.

Isn't it true that Professor Jin can live in the cowshed for so long, and he can also live in the city for three months, as long as he doesn't go out.

After the discussion, Qi Shufang began to pack her luggage.

Ma Hu chose the day two days later, and invited someone to do it in front of the grave, which attracted many people to watch the excitement, and after the grave was picked up and put into the coffin, and after cremation, they were put into the urn. Because his mother's grave could no longer be found in Shanghai, I heard that it had been broken long ago when it was broken, so Ma Hu took Ma Tianlong's ashes back to Hong Kong for burial.

Before leaving, he came to say goodbye to Qi Shufang, Qi Shufang suddenly remembered that Ma Tianlong had said that he had seven sons and six daughters, so he asked Ma Hu if he didn't plan to find those living brothers and sisters.

"Looking for them? I don't bother to look for them, I have such a bad relationship with the old man, and I have no relationship with them. ”

Ma Hu sneered, "The old man's fourth aunt, who is about the same age as me, is currently in Hong Kong, and she is doing well, I heard that she has taken away a lot of the old man's belongings, and she has just arrived in Hong Kong with a little white face, so what? The old man is in trouble, who will reach out to rescue him? Everyone else seems to have learned from the fourth aunt, what am I looking for them for?"

This is really Ma Tianlong's own doing, Qi Shufang didn't say more, but mentioned the treasures that Ma Tianlong said before he died.

Ma Hu must have seen Ma Tianlong's treasures, Qi Shufang took the treasures hidden by Ma Tianlong according to Ma Tianlong's intentions, and did not hide it from Ma Hu, but did not say the number, Ma Hu was rich and wealthy, and he didn't care, so he said at the time: "The old man depends on you to feed, and it is appropriate to give you something as compensation, I know very well that the grain in the mainland is more valuable than the treasures." ”

Hearing Qi Shufang mention these treasures, Ma Hu was a little pity at first, he knew that Ma Tianlong had countless treasures in his hands, and quickly said: "Since the old man died before he finished speaking, then there is no need to mention any treasures or not, so as not to disturb mediocrity." ”

Qi Shufang nodded.

If it weren't for Ma Tianlong's last words before his death that he would give half to his descendants, Qi Shufang felt that she should sue Ma Hu, then she wouldn't have mentioned it at all.

After Ma Hu left, Qi Shufang was ready to leave.

She left a lot of food stamps for He's father, gave him another 100 yuan, explained the affairs of the family clearly, said goodbye to relatives and friends in her hometown one by one, and boarded the train to the capital with Professor Jin and his wife with their children. They didn't have too much luggage, because they packed their clothes and bedding before they set off and sent them to Xue Feng.
