Chapter 124: Smile and ask where the guest is from
Li Minghua's father was the most learned person in the village, and he was a man who had been lifted at the age of twenty-three! It's a pity that when he was promoted, it was already the end of the Qing Dynasty.
When the Xinhai Revolution broke out, this old man also threw himself into the revolution with enthusiasm. It's just that I don't know why, after Lao Yuan became the president, he suddenly returned to the remote village of Wangjiazhuang and never went out again.
Not long after he returned, he set up a private school in his home, teaching the children in the village to read and write, and his life has been very peaceful, and no one in the village knows that he is still a veteran of the revolution.
By the time Li Minghua was born, the old man was already in his forties. Only in their forties did they have such a child, of course, the old couple should be loved as a baby.
Therefore, Li Minghua lived a very nourishing life when he was a child. Although the living conditions in that era were not as good as they are now, their family originally had a good foundation, and the old man was also a capable person, so his life was still much better than that of ordinary villagers.
It is precisely because of the doting of the second elder that after their sudden whereabouts were unknown, Li Minghua, who had no survival skills at all, could only eat hundreds of meals everywhere in the village after losing all his family property.
As for the grievances between him and Secretary Lao Zhao, according to the old people, Lao Zhao's second uncle made a sum of money in Kanto at that time, and Dayang, who went home to marry his daughter-in-law and build a house, was stolen by this kid for more than 20 yuan!
More than 20 oceans, which was a lot of money in that era! This is all Lao Zhao's second uncle risked being cut off by someone, and exchanged it for the gold he secretly left when he was panning for gold in the gold mine.
Because of this. Secretary Zhao's second uncle was angry and anxious and had an illness, and with the root of the illness that fell in Guandong, he couldn't afford to get sick. Within half a year, I went to the underworld to complain to Lord Yama.
No matter how the people in the village whispered, Li Minghua, accompanied by his granddaughter and assistant, got out of the car, looked at his completely unfamiliar hometown, and couldn't help but have some old tears.
Now nearly 80 years old, he is returning for the first time after decades away from his hometown. What he saw was something completely unfamiliar, and he knew that the familiar scene in his memory might never be seen again.
Come to think of it. He couldn't help but feel sad from his heart, leaving a few muddy tears.
"This old man, where are you coming from? Do you come to our village to buy livestock or do you want to buy vegetables in greenhouses? ”
I don't know when, an equally gray-haired. But the old man, with very neat legs and feet, stepped forward. looked at Li Minghua with a smile and asked.
The faces of several young people in the crowd suddenly changed, and they became very difficult to look at.
"What to do? I'm afraid that Uncle Zhao's explanation can't be done! ”
"Aren't you talking nonsense? The third master has come forward, if you dare to blow up the stab, it will be strange if you go home and not be chopped by your father? ”
"What do you say is the matter with the third master today? He's not usually a nosy man! Why did this guy who had a grudge against Uncle Zhao come today, and his old man stood up? ”
"It stands to reason that the third master should know this person? You should also know what happened at that time, why did you go up to the pole to say hello? ”
"Maybe the third master didn't recognize it!"
"Hey, I said that what you said Uncle Zhao said is true? This old man really stole the ocean of Old Second Uncle Zhao? Could it be that Uncle Zhao made it up? ”
"Yes. It doesn't sound like it's real, it's like the plot of a Thunder TV series on TV! ”
"Haven't you heard anyone in the village mention this? I say. Eighth, have you heard of this? ”
"Hey! I'll tell you, I've heard of it. ”
"Really? Hurry up, tell us what's going on? ”
"That's what he did."
I heard that this guy in front of me, who has to be called grandpa in our lifetime, said hello to a person in the village when he ran away from home, and that person was Uncle Zhao's second uncle.
It is said that the more than 20 pieces of ocean were originally given to this old man by his beasts, and they were not stolen by others at all, as Uncle Zhao said.
But think about it, in that era, there was a shortage of soldiers, and whoever had a little money wanted to hide in the kang cave from time to time! I'm afraid that someone else will find out, steal or rob it.
Li Minghua, a "rich man" who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains, has such a great ability to easily steal it without alarming anyone?
"Isn't it, there's such a thing? Then why did Uncle Zhao let us ......?"
The rest of the words need not be further asaid, everyone understands what it means. But in an instant, everyone thought of Uncle Zhao's usual behavior, and they all felt that there must be a misunderstanding that everyone didn't know.
"You, you're a pillar?"
Li Minghuazai looked at the old man opposite for a long time, his face was full of excitement, but he couldn't believe it.
"Huh? Who are you? How do I know my nickname? ”
Think about it, don't blame the old man for being confused. At his age of nearly eighty now, there were few people in the village who were no longer qualified to call him by his nickname.
"Pillars! You're such a pillar! ”
The old man Li Minghua could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, tears welled up in his eyes, and he trembled and grabbed the arm of the old man opposite, and grabbed it to death, for fear that as soon as he let go, the old man called the pillar would suddenly disappear.
The old man named Zhuzi also seemed to remember something, and let Li Minghua grab his arm, and his mind was also quickly searching for the childhood memories that had long been sealed in the dust.
"Huh? You, are you Minghua? ”
"Yes, yes, I'm Minghua, Brother Zhuzi!"
"Oops! It's you, boy! You little rabbit cub, you were good at the beginning, and you left, but you made the second uncle miserable! What a wicked person you are! ”
"Huh?"
Li Minghua was obviously stunned, and looked at his pillar brother confused. The old man looked at him and shook his head, sighed, and then explained to him, and said nothing more.
"The second uncle blew it because of the twenty oceans, and the daughter-in-law who was supposed to be good blew it, and the woman called the door and said that he was lying. Afterwards. married Sister Xiaohua to the second young master of a landlord's family in a foreign country. The second uncle was angry because of this, and the root of the illness that fell in Guandong. As soon as I couldn't afford to be sick, it passed. ”
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place. At such an age, the old man Li Minghua has long seen through the world and the past, and there is almost nothing that can disturb his emotions.
However, when I heard my childhood friend tell me that the person I had been worried about all my life had ended up like this. I couldn't suppress the grief in my heart anymore, and I immediately cried.
Now, the assistant next to him also has his granddaughter. And the drivers who were strictly ordered by the leaders to take care of the elderly were panicked and hurriedly surrounded them, and you persuaded him to leave as soon as he said a word.
Old man Li Minghua's eyes were soon blurred by tears, vaguely. He seemed to see the one who was a full ten years older than him. The second uncle, who went out with someone at the age of sixteen to break into Kanto, was smiling and waving to him.
"Second uncle?"
The old man choked and muttered, then closed his eyes, leaned back, and fainted. Fortunately, Xiao Guo, the driver beside him, was quick and walked up to help the old man.
"Ahh Li Lao fainted! Hurry up and take the handle and send it to the hospital immediately! ”
"Minghua, Minghua! What's wrong with you? The old man of the pillar also went to call his childhood friend eagerly. At the same time, his eyes swept around, glaring angrily at the juniors of Wangjiazhuang who were watching the excitement around him. "Look at the fart, look, it's better to take a hand!"
The old man was angry, and these onlookers in the village hurriedly surrounded him, helping the driver Xiao Guo to carry the old Li Minghua into the car, and then stood behind the old man on the pillar.
"Third Master, this is the Li Minghua who stole my Second Master Zhao's Ocean and made my Second Master Zhao angry to death?"
A middle-aged man standing next to the pillar old man in the crowd asked curiously, which immediately attracted everyone's eyes to steal their eyes, staring closely at the pillar old man's face, waiting for him to open his mouth to unravel this history that had been forgotten by most people.
"Hey!"
The old man of the pillar sighed, said nothing, turned around with a sad face, walked through the crowd, put his hands behind his back, and left. The old man's back looked so lonely and desolate, and many people in the village were very puzzled.
Is there something hidden in this that we don't know? Otherwise, how could the third master be like this? Moreover, the third master, who wants to be jealous and hateful, shouldn't have a good face for this loser and the guy who killed the second uncle of the Zhao family?
Soon, this long-forgotten past was turned out of the depths of memory by the villagers. Some people remembered some details that they had heard from the old people in the village, and some simply went to the elderly people in the village to inquire about the details.
But no one dared to disturb the old man with a bad temper, but when he passed by the gate of his old man's house, the people in the village would take a curious look at the closed gate of the old man's house, and at the same time the doubts in their hearts were even heavier.
Wang Yong was at dinner at night when he heard his mother, who was also gossipy, talk about it. After rummaging through my memories, I finally found the memory of this incident from the corner.
After the old man Li Minghua fell into a coma, he was sent to the county hospital for emergency treatment, and because of his serious condition, he was sent to the city for treatment. Later, one of his sons from the city came to the village to pick up the old man.
Two days later, the old man was sent back, but the old man Li Minghua never came back. When someone asks about the old man of the pillar, he always loses his temper. After a long time, no one rushed to ask him again.
Later, after a long time, when the villagers mentioned this, they still regretted it. Can the person who can send a driver from the mayor to personally deliver it to him, can it be small? If a little leakage comes out of people's fingers, it is enough for everyone in the village to live a good life.
Dog blood! It's bloody!
Wang Yong shook his head and muttered to himself. This kind of thing, he doesn't have to think about it, he can guess that there must be some misunderstanding in it. The performance of the old man Li Minghua, especially the performance of the third master, is too suspicious. It would be weird if there wasn't a story in it.
Wang Yong, whose curiosity was successfully aroused, scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously under the itching of his heart. Go ask the third master? Although he was more favored in front of the old man, but when several people had already been reprimanded, he was not sure that this old man could really look at him differently.
However, as soon as he rolled his eyes, he suddenly had an idea. (To be continued......)
