Chapter 7: Uncle's Decision
Uncle's decision
When he got home, the old man Wu Liangxiong was still busy in the kitchen, and Wu An casually threw off his high heels and nibbled on an apple on the sofa.
After a while, after she answered the phone, she frowned, put on her high heels again, and shouted: "Dad, I'm not eating at home, I have something to do at night." ”
The door was brought shut with a "bang", and Wu Liangxiong "sighed": "The woman is not left." ”
When it was time for dinner, a man in his thirties in long gray sleeves led a very thin woman with freckles on her face into the house.
This is Wu Liangxiong's son Wu Erping and daughter-in-law Chen Juan.
Wu Liang pursed his lips and looked at Wu Erping and Chen Juan: "Brother, sister-in-law." ”
Wu Erping was still holding a bottle of liquor in his hand, and the old man Wu Liangxiong smiled happily: "I'll go to the kitchen to fry two more dishes, our house will be lively tonight." ”
Wu Liangxiong entered the kitchen, and Wu Liang, his cousin Wu Erping, and Chen Juan were left in the room.
Looking at Wu Liang, who was dressed too shabby, Wu Erping was quite imposing as the owner of the entire old house, lying lazily on the old-fashioned wooden sofa, lighting a cigarette by himself, and taking a few puffs: "Brother, how is it, have you gone to work?" ”
Wu Liang smiled: "I just came from Biancheng, and I haven't looked for a job yet." ”
Hearing that Wu Liang hadn't looked for a job yet, Wu Erping sighed in his heart: Don't be this poor relative who is here to join his father! Finding a job these days costs money. Thinking of this, Wu Erping asked: "I heard my father often say, the second uncle is a person with great ability, and after so many years, I haven't been able to see the second uncle with my own eyes, how is he doing?" ”
The speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart, and her sister-in-law Chen Juan sat up straight from the sofa, leaned forward, and began to care about the content of the conversation between the two.
Wu Liang smiled, revealing a mouthful of teeth that were soaked in white by the Pingshan Mountain Spring: "Brother Erping, uncle is my father's own brother, how can there be an elder brother who does not collapse his younger brother." My dad didn't have any skills, he was just a prison guard in Hirayama Prison. ”
Hearing this, Wu Erping seemed a little disappointed, let out an "oh", and continued to smoke. Sister-in-law Wu Juan didn't give up, and paid attention to Wu Liang's expression while laughing: "The prison guards are also policemen and civil servants!" ”
Wu Liang replied: "What's the matter, my father is really just a prison guard, and he is not officially established." ”
Chen Juan noticed the pair of gray old cloth shoes on Wu Liang's feet, as well as the cuffs of his shirt that were worn white, and his body looked shabby, and she was desperate for a moment.
Wu Erping dusted off his cigarette ash casually, a little worried: "I had a child with your sister-in-law last year, and it was a boy. I'm out on the bus all day long, your sister-in-law works as a worker in a textile factory, and she can't make a lot of money all year round, seeing that her son is going to primary school, and wants to buy a house in Zhengcheng Fourth Ring Road to settle down, my father is an old stubborn, and I don't want to tear it down. ”
Chen Juan glared at Wu Erping with some dissatisfaction on the side: "I'm embarrassed to say, I haven't had a good life since I married into your old Wu family, and now my son is going to elementary school, and I still rent a house to live!" ”
Hearing his daughter-in-law chattering, Wu Erping was a little annoyed: "Don't say a few words, I shouldn't have brought you to see my father, a loser who only knows money!"
When Chen Juan heard this, she became angry: "What's the matter, I won't complain, if it weren't for my blurred eyes, the ghost would marry you!" ”
Wu Liang saw the little affection on the faces of Wu Erping and his sister-in-law Chen Juan, but he laughed with him, and instead persuaded Wu Erping: "Brother Erping, I can't complain about my sister-in-law, it's time to settle down." ”
……
The old man Wu Liangxiong brought a plate of vinegared Chinese cabbage, a plate of chili scrambled eggs, a pig's ear, a large plate of pig's head meat, and a potato roast meat from the kitchen.
The family gathered around the table, Wu Liangxiong opened the white bottle brought by his son Wu Erping, and poured three cups full.
Wu Erping also frowned and said, "Dad, you drink less." ”
Wu Liangxiong touched his brain: "Today is the first time my nephew has come, and you and Juanzi are also back, my father is really happy today." ”
Chen Juan, who was still a little angry on the side, stumbled: "Dad, I don't like to hear you say this, what do you mean that Juanzi and I are also back, as if we don't like to come back as usual!" After speaking, Chen Juan pursed her lips.
Hearing his daughter-in-law slapping his mouth with his father, Wu Erping knocked his chopsticks heavily and said angrily: "How can you talk to your father!" Just your little bit of caution, isn't it just looking at the demolition money every day! The house is daddy's, daddy misses the old, and the house is not demolished because daddy is happy, what's the matter with you! ”
"Since you passed the door, when you came home, Dad didn't buy vegetables and cut meat to entertain you, do you know, Dad lives a tight life alone, and a cabbage can be eaten for a week!"
Chen Juan was extremely aggrieved: "What kind of heart! I haven't had a good life since I married you, my son was born to me, and I see that the little jelly beans have grown up, and I still rent a house to live in every day! After speaking, Chen Juan came out with tears in her eyes.
The originally harmonious atmosphere in the room cooled down, and Wu Liangxiong sighed: "Juanzi, Dad compensated you for Erping, it really made you wronged." ”
"By the way, Dad has decided, this old house will be demolished! Tomorrow, I will discuss with the real estate company, and when the demolition money comes down, you can also buy a new house. ”
For Wu Erping, he is in favor of demolition in his heart, after all, the demolition money can subsidize 100,000 yuan, except for a little to his sister Wu An, the rest of the money can be exchanged for a big house, enough for a family of three to live. Now, his father Wu Liangxiong has agreed to the demolition, so after the compensation is paid, his daughter-in-law Chen Juan will finally not be angry with herself anymore, thinking of this, Wu Erping can't help but be a little excited: "Dad, great." ”
The old man Wu Liangxiong looked around at the three of them and hesitated: "But I want to make it clear that the demolition money is down, and the money in it must be half of that of my nephew." ”
