Picked up children
“…… I just say this: buy if you like to buy, don't buy and pull down!"
The living room was full of gunpowder, and three men with their own thoughts sat on the luxurious and magnificent sofa. A real estate broker in a straight suit and a shrewd face is pointing out the shortcomings of this house and lowering the price with a bright tongue. The gray-haired buyer sat calmly on the side, as if he was bound to win. My uncle was eventually forced to put down the lowest price, rudely grabbing the teacup and taking a sip.
The economist looked at his face and found that the buyer was not very satisfied with the price, so he continued to lobby: "I said Shen Er, let's not bully Mr. Qin who came from other places and didn't know how to do it." This villa area has been built for many years, not to mention the old houses, and the infrastructure in all aspects is not as good as the newly built community. The single-family villas developed in the east last year all have garden pools, and the price is not as high as yours. Mr. Qin came for the fame of Old Man Shen, the house where his old man lived was more expensive than others, but you have to have a number, and you can sell it. ”
"Don't mention my dad to me, if he is still here, you dare to call me Shen Er in person? But no matter how 'two' I am, I won't let people fool around casually!" Uncle has a temper tantrum and is going to sweep them out of the house. As soon as the economist saw that the signs were wrong, he quickly changed his head and gave him a smooth hair, and there was a lot of trouble for a while.
Mr. Qin, who had been left out in the cold, was not impatient at all, and studied the furnishings in the living room. As soon as I turned around inadvertently, I found me peeping behind the curtains.
"Yo, this kid is a rarity. He smiled and complimented, drawing the attention of the other two. The economist looked at me and asked hesitantly, "This kid ...... It's Miss Shen's...... Bastard, right?"
Uncle was completely furious this time: "Do you say human words? This is my serious niece! Her father is the son-in-law of our Shen family, but he died of illness in his early years." ”
"Yes, it's been reported. It's a pity that Miss Shen was too sad and didn't take long to follow. "When the economic man said this, his expression was very hypocritical, and the preface did not match the afterword, which was obviously a false response to my uncle.
Before I could come up with a clue, Mr. Qin made an astonishing statement: "Is this kid for sale?"
I froze there in horror.
This time, even the economic man, who is known for his good words, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth and didn't dare to answer.
My uncle was probably overly angry, but instead sneered: "I said that this is my niece! Although our Shen family is mixed up in the road, we have never been involved in such immoral activities as human trafficking and drug trafficking. To be honest, I was not short of money, and I sold this house because I wanted to move to the countryside for a few quiet days. It is said that people go to tea and cool, but I Shen Shao can still clean up one or two scumbags!"
Mr. Qin's face changed, and then he laughed: "I have always respected Shen Ye's personality, but I was just joking. In this way, the house price will be as Shen Shao said, and I will pay it all at once. ”
"I won't sell it anymore!" my uncle picked me up and strode out.
The economist chased out: "Shen Er, Shen Er, what are you doing here, Mr. Qin is joking......"
"You don't need to say any more, don't send me slowly!" my uncle waved his hand and led me into the garden.
When it is said to be a garden, it is more appropriate to call it a forest. My grandfather liked the sycamore, and often said, "If you plant the sycamore tree, you will have a phoenix", so he made a sycamore forest. It's late autumn, and a north wind blows, and the leaves of the plane trees on both sides of the cobblestone path are falling, which is really a bit picturesque.
"From now on, we will be the only ones left to depend on each other!" my uncle said to me, and the smell of smoke made my brow furrow.
"Put me down. "I'm 11 years old, long past the age when I want to be hugged by adults.
Uncle No, as if he was carrying me, he teased me happily: "Why, you still hate me? I'll really sell you to that old man in a while." ”
"You dare!" I bluffed and glared at him, but a cold sweat broke out behind my back. Every child will be taught by their elders from an early age not to eat things given by strangers, not to talk to strangers, etc., and the nanny who used to take me also told me that the fate of abducted and trafficked children is very miserable, of course I will be afraid.
My uncle and I didn't know each other well, and I hadn't spoken to him for as long as I could remember—it was weird, given that we had lived under the same roof for so many years. But he was always busy looking for pleasure, going out late and returning early every day, and he would never stay at home all day unless there was a major festival or my grandfather put him under house arrest. He would be angry when he wasn't at home, and his grandfather would be even more angry when he was at home, and the two of them would be like enemies when they met, which made me tremble. For a long time, I suspected that my uncle and Ben didn't know who I was, because he didn't greet me every time we met, and if I called him, he would just nod his head perfunctorily.
I once overheard the nannies privately ridiculing me as a 'picked up child', my parents died early, my uncle was a little transparent to me, and even my grandfather didn't lie to me. Now that my grandfather has passed away, I am left with only one relative in the world, my uncle—a relative who is not much different from a stranger.
"Listen," my uncle put me down, crouched down and looked at me at eye level. "I haven't brought any children, and I won't bring them, if you need anything, can you just explain it to me?"
I nodded understandingly.
"I don't plan to get married, and I won't have children in the future, so you can send me to the end in a hundred years. Uncle sighed, "Did your grandfather teach you to cultivate the truth? It's just recognizing acupoints, meditating or something, it's not easy to practice, if it's very difficult, just let it go." ”
"Don't!" I refused. In the past, my grandfather arranged various training courses for me, and there was indeed a so-called 'medical theory' course taught by my grandfather himself, which did not teach me how to cure diseases and save people, but made me memorize a map of the meridians and acupuncture points of the human body. When I was able to draw the picture with my eyes closed, he taught me how to 'draw qi into the body', and repeatedly emphasized that if I practiced well, I would be able to achieve immortality. Now I finally know that this course is called "Xiuzhen".
"Whatever you want, but I won't change myself because of you. Let's move to the county seat after selling this house, and the family won't be able to afford a nanny in the future, and you have to take care of yourself when I'm not at home, can you do it?"
"Yes. "Actually, my uncle's words were very irresponsible, but at this time I was actually very happy, because for the first time in my life, I was treated as an adult.
"You're so good. Uncle touched my head and said.
I lowered my head and hesitantly asked, "Evening...... Can I eat mango mousse cake?"
Uncle was happy: "You have no problem eating dinner!"
"I also want a pink bed with a soft hugging bear on it, just like the one in Ayan!"
"I'll buy you two, one to sleep with and one to play, how about it?"
I laughed heartily, my uncle was so easy to talk to, which was completely different from my grandfather.
My grandfather was an old-fashioned man who was very strict with me. He decided that I would inherit his business when I grew up, so he tried to make me a woman, and I was not allowed to buy any toys that ordinary little girls played. Perhaps it was his stick education that failed with my uncle, so he set his expectations on me. This directly led to my miserable childhood, and my daily time was occupied by all kinds of study and training, and I always had a deep grudge against him.
You should be happy to live with your uncle, right?
