At five o'clock in the afternoon, in the northern suburbs of Zhengcheng, dust was raised on the road, and as far as the eye could see, there were buildings of uneven height everywhere. There are particularly conspicuous, tiled two-story buildings; There are also simple shacks made of wood, which do not block the wind or rain, which makes people wonder, can this house be lived?

Wu Liang breathed a sigh of relief: This is the village where Daddy Wu Liangcai was a child, but Daddy hasn't been back for 20 years, and the village has evolved into an urban village.

As far as Wu Liang knows, his uncle Wu Liangxiong is 68 years old this year and has a son under his knees. The age difference between my father and my uncle is fifteen years, and when my father was a child, Wu Liangxiong had already become a strong laborer in the production team who could earn work. It can be said that his father was able to have a very strong body before joining the army, thanks to the care of his uncle Wu Liangxiong.

As you go all the way, the road becomes narrower and narrower, and later, the road is so narrow that only one person can pass through guò, no wonder it is called Cat's Ear Alley. In the alley, because the sunlight cannot be directly rayed, and the ventilation conditions are poor, there is a smell of defeat and mold, so it is a little choking.

An old man in a yellow coat and a broken fan walked in front of him. The old man was slightly depressed, his head was shiny, and his body was a little rickety.

The old man shook his fan and squinted: "Young man, who are you looking for?" ”

Wu Liang's voice was not loud: "Uncle, my name is Wu Liang." My uncle's name is Wu Liangxiong, can you always tell me where Mr. Wu Liangxiong lives? ”

Hearing Wu Liangxiong's three words, the old man was like an electric shock, shaking the ground and breaking the pu fan and landing on the ground. The old man raised his head, looked at Wu Liang carefully, and moved his Adam's apple: "What's your father's name?" ”

Facing the old man's gaze, Wu Liang couldn't help but look at the old man carefully, and felt that the old man and his father Wu Liangcai's eyebrows were a little similar, so he replied: "My father's name is Wu Liangcai." ”

Hearing this, the old man approached Wu Liang, and his voice couldn't hide his excitement: "I'm Wu Liangxiong, nephew!" ”

"In 62 years, our old Wu family moved here from Wujiazhai in Hunan Province and settled in Mao's Ear Hutong.

"When he was a child, he was greedy and smashed the figs on the tree with a stone, and as a result, the stone fell and hit the tip of his eyebrow, leaving him with a scar on the side of his right eyebrow."

Wu Liang opened his mouth and thought: This is how the scar on Daddy's eyebrows came from.

Without waiting for Wu Liang to speak, the old man Wu Liangxiong was a little annoyed, and stomped his feet on the ground: "More than 20 years ago, I sent a letter to someone, saying that I don't want to be worried, why is my brother's heart so hard!" The old man here just complained, but he seemed to think of something, and asked Wu Liang with a trembling voice: "Nephew, measure him, is he okay?" ”

Wu Liang helped the old man Wu Liangxiong: "Uncle, my father is in good health, but he can't come, so let me come to see you." ”

Hearing this, the old man Wu Liangxiong relieved his heart and pulled Wu Liang's arm: "Go!" Nephew, let's go home and talk. ”

When I entered Wu Liangxiong's house, the four walls were pasted with yellow mud and wheat straw, there was a sewing machine in the house, and the tables, stools, and furniture were all old guys from decades ago.

As soon as Wu Liangxiong entered the door, he hurriedly poured tea, and then took out a mobile phone with paint off from his pocket and explained to Wu Liang: "Nephew, I'll call my family Erping, and we will eat together tonight." ”

Wu Liangxiong carefully held up his mobile phone and raised his voice: "Erping, go home tonight!" Dad has thought about the demolition clearly, and it is going to be demolished! ”

"Uh-huh."

"By the way, your cousin is back today, and you will bring a bottle of good wine when you come back."

Hanging up the phone, Wu Liangxiong rubbed his hands and explained: "Erping is my son and your cousin. Since my wife died, Erping has been working as a driver for people in Zhihu Town. ”

"A while ago, Erping's baby had a little unpleasant trouble with me because of the demolition, but my own baby, the two of them had an opinion, and it was not in the way!"

Wu Liang asked, "Uncle, what happened?" ”

Wu Liangxiong explained curtly: "It's not because of the old house, Erping's child was brought up by me, I know it, and his ears are soft." His daughter-in-law Juanzi wanted to look forward to the demolition money coming down, so she could buy a house in Zhihu Town, but I didn't agree to demolish it. ”

Speaking of this, the old man's eyes were red: "I thought, Liangcai grew up in Mao's Ear Alley since he was a child, and this is his home for as long as he can remember." I'm his brother, I've watched him grow up since I was a child, can I wonder if he must have the ability outside. He doesn't go home because he is in trouble, if it is convenient for him, he will come back to see me sooner or later, if the house is demolished, where will he find a home! ”

Wu Liang stepped forward to stroke the old man's back and comforted him: "Uncle, my father understands, so when he was at home, he told me that no matter what, I must come to Mao'er Hutong to see you." ”

"By the way, just talking, your eldest cousin has to come back today, our family is lively." As he spoke, the old man Wu Liangxiong dialed the phone: "Hey, An An, are you busy with this class?" ”

The old man here just wanted to continue, but he was silent, "um, um, um" kept going, probably because the person on the other end of the phone was very impatient.

After a while, Wu Liangxiong's voice was a little embarrassed: "An An, don't hang up the phone yet, you heard from my father, your cousin is back to our house today." ”

"I thought, it's rare for our family to get together, and you haven't seen your cousin." Speaking of this, the old man Wu Liangxiong's tone was sour: "An An, my father knows that you are busy with your homework, but my father hasn't seen you for a long time." ”

The person on the other end of the phone began to go crazy, and a sharp female voice came out: "I have a lot of entertainment, don't call me back if you have nothing to do." ”

"Now I made it clear, our old house has not been demolished until now, and I can't count on the demolition money, not to mention that my brother and sister-in-law are watching with their eyes!" Speaking of this, the girl on the phone snorted coldly: "Do you have any money for me?" So, you don't care about my business. ”

Wu Liang's brows furrowed fiercely, how could a daughter talk to her father like this!

The old man Wu Liangxiong was silent for a moment: "An An, I have decided, the old house will be demolished tomorrow, and of course you will have a share of the money in it." ”

The person on the other end of the phone said in a softened tone: "Okay, I'll go back in the evening." ”

Hearing that his daughter was going back, Wu Liangxiong actually showed a smile on his face: "Okay, anyway, your school is not far away, you have a big bag, and your father is going to pick you up?" ”

The other end of the phone became impatient again: "Don't, don't, don't, you save it, you don't know, the last time you came to school with a snakeskin bag, you were bumped into by my classmates and laughed at me for a year." ”

Wu Liangxiong: "That's it, you have a big bag, can you carry it?" ”

Wu Liang answered on the side: "Uncle, anyway, Z is not far from home, why don't I pick up my eldest cousin." ”

Wu Liangxiong heard this and felt that this method would work, so he tentatively said on the phone: "An An, your eldest cousin is going to pick you up, and your father will make you something delicious at home, will it be successful?" ”

"Feel free." Before the voice fell, the phone had already hung up.

The old man Wu Liangxiong explained helplessly: "The second child in Wu An's family, twenty this year, your eldest aunt left early, and no one at home took care of her, complaining about me, she has always spoiled her too much!" ”

"Alas, say a thousand things and ten thousand, or your uncle, I have no ability and no money."

Wu Liang pursed his lips helplessly: "Uncle, people shouldn't be counted as success or failure like this, I have never seen my father out of Pingshan, but in my eyes, he is also very successful." ”

Thinking that Wu Liang didn't have a mobile phone, Wu Liangxiong handed over his paint Nokia: "Nephew, please take a trip, go out of our alley and turn right, take the No. 23 bus to go directly to Z University, and when you get to the place, you call An'an's mobile phone." ”
