In mid-December, a new antique shop opened in the "snow" villa complex in Yanjin, just opposite Baowenzhai. The plaque was hung out early, called "Zhilu", and it was still being renovated.

The reason why the villa complex is called "snowland" is because of the architectural style, and the black tiles and white walls in that area look like a snowfield, so it is called snow.

This architectural style is too plain and pure, and most people don't like it, and they like it only because they are rich and elegant. The developer was also under pressure to develop such a project. After the opening, it sold quite well, which shows that the rich people in Yanjin have a very high taste.

Bao Wen Zhai is on the east side of the snowfield, house number 66.

Standing on the 2nd floor of Baowenzhai, you can clearly see a pair of door couplets hanging on the door of Zhilu, which reads: Open your eyes to know the authenticity, and stretch out your hand to divide black and white.

That's not a small breath. Shang Kaiping, the young owner of Baowenzhai, sneered, this person actually dared to open an antique shop opposite Baowenzhai, which made it clear that he wanted to fight with himself. I don't know who is so bold, I have to give him a little bit of power.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw his son Shang Shabai coming over, so he asked, "Have you found out?"

Shang Shabai said: "I found it out, it was opened by Chen Jiashan, the richest man in Yanjin." ”

Shang Kaiping's face changed: "It was opened by Chen Jiashan, aren't you mistaken? The Chen family is some rough people, how could they think of opening an antique shop?"

Shang Shabai said: "I heard that his old father Chen Yang advocated it. This Chen Yang is 90 years old this year, but he is versatile, not only knows antiques, but also is good at music. ”

Shang Kaiping sneered: "How can Chen Yang, an illiterate old horseman, understand antiques and be good at music and rhythm, isn't this nonsense? Who did you hear it from? This news is not reliable." ”

Shang Shabai felt that there was a name for himself here, so he said, "Dad, do you know this Chen Yang?"

Shang Kaiping said: "Let's talk about who got the news from. ”

Shang Shabai said: "I first asked the decoration company, and then asked the original owner of the villa, and they all said that it was Chen Jiashan." ”

"Then it's really Chen Jiashan. Shang Kaiping was puzzled: "In the past, they obviously won those things, are they still disgruntled and want to rectify our Shang family?"

Shang Shabai didn't know the origin of the Shang and Chen families, so he was confused and asked, "Dad, what's going on." ”

Shang Kaiping thought that his son was also 27 years old this year, and there were some things in the family that should be told to him, so he explained the relationship between Shang and Chen in detail.

Shang Shabai sighed when he heard this, and said: "Speaking of which, Chen Jiashan is my cousin, Chen Yang is my uncle, and our two families are close relatives, why haven't we been in contact for so many years?"

Shang Kaiping said: "Didn't I tell you, if it weren't for Chen Yang, I don't know how much the calligraphy and paintings your grandfather bought in the past are worth now." ”

Shang Shabai said: "Who knew that those calligraphy and paintings would be so valuable in that era, and besides, grandpa also had a place to lose, otherwise grandma would not have left so early." ”

Shang Kaiping was annoyed: "You little rabbit cub, why do you turn your elbows out and help outsiders talk!"

Shang Shabai said: "How can such a relationship be said to be an outsider? Even for the sake of the deceased grandmother, we can't pretend that there is no relative of the Chen family, right?"

Unexpectedly, his son would talk back, Shang Kaiping was angry, picked up the tissue box next to him and threw it at him.

The box is made of plastic, how much weight can it have, and the strength of the throw is not large, Shang Shabai can avoid it with a light avoidance, but this kid has a strong temper, so he doesn't avoid it.

With a "snap", the box smashed on Shang Shabai's body, and Shang Kaiping felt distressed: "You kid, why don't you know how to avoid it! You stupid!"

Shang Shabai said: "Dad, you are angry with me in your heart, if I avoid it, you won't be even more angry." The ancients said, 'The king told the minister to die, and the minister had to die, and the father told the son to die, and the son had to die.' You didn't call me dead today, but if I threw a tissue box at me, wouldn't it be too unfilial if I avoided it.' ”

Shang Kaiping couldn't cry or laugh: "You little rabbit, you think this tissue box is too light, you wait, I'll go get a stick over, don't you run away." You are also bold, and you dare to judge your grandfather's rights and wrongs in front of me. Hey, you wait, don't run away!"

Shang Shabai heard that his father was going to get a stick, so he ran away.

Shang Kaiping sat alone on the terrace for a while, thinking of his son's words, and his heart fluctuated.

Young people have no historical baggage, and they can see problems very thoroughly. Speaking carefully, Chen Yang's uncle also defends his sister-in-law, that is, his mother, so he will beat his brother-in-law, that is, his father. Although the behavior is inappropriate, the heart is a sincere heart.

Thinking of his mother, tears welled up in the corners of Shang Kaiping's eyes. His mother has been gone for 32 years, and he misses her all the time.

That day, when he learned the news of his mother's death, his father was already very sad, but his uncle rushed over to beat him, so that his father had to hide. In the end, he couldn't escape, and was pressed against the coffin at his mother's funeral and beaten severely. This is the ugly thing in my father's life, and I gritted my teeth when I said it a few years ago.

It's just that as my father gets older and older, he becomes more and more disdainful of the hardships he suffered in the past, that is, he misses his mother more and more, and he will talk about his mother when he sits and sit, and he will shed tears when he talks about it.

Those words sound like nonsense. What do you say that the mother lives in the Moon Palace and planted a few acres of fields, with radishes, greens, and Guanyin vegetables. The radish is the size of a dustpan, and the green vegetables can't be held in both hands, and the Guanyin vegetables can only hold one basket.

Shang Kaiping listened with a smile, and responded to the words without a match, but he was crying in his heart. Father, I miss my mother so much.

As he spoke, his father became sad: "Kaiping, the person I am most sorry for in my life is your mother, if I wasn't ignorant when I was young, she wouldn't have left so early." When I get to the Moon Palace, if she dislikes me and doesn't let me help her grow vegetables, what can I do?"

Shang Kaiping always comforted him: "No, my mother has grown so many good dishes, just waiting for you to eat." ”

The old father was happy and muttered, "Yes, yes, she has little strength, but I have a lot of strength." I can help her hide those dishes in the cellar. She'll want me, I'm stronger than her. ”

After a while, he said pitifully: "Will your mother blame me for not being good enough to her in the past?" She followed me desperately, but I didn't know how to cherish her. ”

Shang Kaiping always said: "No, when my mother is here, our family is happy." How could she blame you?"

There are always four or five days a week when I have to go back to my hometown, sitting in the bedroom of the old house and looking at the old photos left by my mother, without saying a word, sitting all day.

Today he went to his hometown again. Originally, Shang Kaiping wanted to accompany him, but because of the "Zhilu" opposite, Shang Kaiping stayed in Baowenzhai, and now that the matter is investigated, Shang Kaiping wants to go to his hometown and tell his old father about it.
