Section 203: Inquiry
I've heard the legend of Changshou Village before, where the age of 90 is considered a junior, but it's very rare in this place. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing me paying attention to Mrs. Huo, Uncle Huo smiled and said, "When people are old, it is inevitable to nag a little." ”
I hurriedly turned around, looked at Uncle Huo, and said, "I'm happy that grandma has such a good body, and it's a blessing for the Huo family to have a treasure." I really can't tell that my grandmother is nearly ninety years old. ”
Hearing me say this, the smile on Uncle Huo's face became even worse, and even showed a hint of pride. It seems that Uncle Huo is really extremely filial to Mrs. Huo. And his filial piety is also famous in their circle of friends. Also, only when children are filial, can the elderly have such a bright mind and such a good body.
"It's not easy for her to be an old man." Uncle Huo sighed, and his eyes were even a little moist, as if something had hit him in the sore spot.
I couldn't help but sigh when I heard it, too, thinking about the loss of two sons and a daughter with disabilities, and she lost her husband at an early age, it must be very, very difficult for her to survive step by step until now.
As the saying goes, the greatest tragedy of a woman is the loss of her father at an early age, her husband in middle age, and her son in her old age. And these catastrophic fates seem to have been caught up by this seemingly optimistic, but in fact pitiful and respectable old man.
When Mrs. Huo's figure disappeared at the door, Uncle Huo's expression became serious.
"What are you doing here?" Uncle Huo asked straight to the point.
Xie Kui and I exchanged glances, and at that time we had already guessed that Uncle Huo would ask, so we discussed it a little.
So I said, "Actually, it's nothing, Uncle Huo, I came here this time, I was originally here to play." You also know my current financial situation, but there are so many facts that have happened lately, I feel that I can't bear it anymore, so my friend suggested that I come out to play, it is too far away, the cost is high, and I don't want to go, so he brought me here. I pointed to Xie Kuidao.
"I just didn't expect to meet Uncle Huo in the town. Later, I remembered that my father seemed to have said that Uncle Huo's hometown is in Huo Village, Zhuzhen, thinking about Uncle Huo over the years, he has really taken good care of Xiaoman and my family, Xiaoman thought that he had already come anyway, so he wanted to come and see Grandma Huo by the way. Let's end my father's filial piety to Grandma Huo. "I said with some sadness.
"What? What's going on at home again? Uncle Huo asked nervously.
I lowered my head and groaned for a while.
"Kid! If anything, tell your uncle, now that your father is gone, as your father's brother, it is my duty to take care of you. ”
I raised my head and looked at Uncle Huo in surprise, but I didn't expect him to say such heartfelt words, and my eyes instantly couldn't help but moisten.
But he still held back his tears, smiled wryly and shook his head.
"Child, don't hold it in your heart, your father is not here, your brother is not here, this family is pointing to you now, you must be strong now no matter what, and you must support this family." If there's anything you can't solve, be sure to tell me. After all, I am your elder, and I have experienced a lot, so maybe there will be a way. ”
I choked up and nodded.
Then he said: "It's really nothing, most of them have been solved." You know our piece, something has happened lately......"
"Oh, you're talking about the contagion? There have been a lot of deaths, and I know that the government has been focusing on these things, and the top has taken over, and we don't even have the power to intervene. I even heard that ......" he hesitated, "you...... Didn't encounter anything, did you? He asked nervously.
I know that there are some things that can't be said explicitly, but it seems that Uncle Huo also knows some clues, but even if they have taken them all above, it will be even more inconvenient for them to care about these things and discuss these things, but he still asks me with concern.
It seems that what Xie Kui said is right, the department they are in is a special department, it is above many departments, there is no department that can intervene in their affairs casually, of course, there are many departments that do not know the existence of his special department at all, their department is a mysterious and sacred department.
"It's okay, it's okay," I hurriedly shook my head, I felt that I didn't know anything from Uncle Huo, but I was about to tell him a little bit of my own details. But there is still such a line of defense in my heart, maybe some things are better not to let Uncle Huo know.
"You just said that you encountered some things and were in a bad mood, and you didn't tell your uncle, are you avoiding your uncle?"
"Nope." A trace of sadness flashed on my face, and I said lightly: "It's just that the matter has passed, and it adds to the annoyance to say it." ”
Uncle Huo didn't say anything more, but looked at me intently, as if encouraging me to continue.
"Uncle Huo, I was dismissed a few days ago." I choked.
"It's good to quit, then the marriage should have been withdrawn a long time ago." Uncle Huo said directly. I looked up in surprise, but I didn't expect him to know about it.
"I've heard about you a long time ago, but this is a matter between your juniors, and I'm just an uncle, so it's really hard to manage, so I'm sorry for you. But it's okay for someone with that kind of power to retire, and my uncle will introduce you to a good one when he arrives. ”
"Uncle Huo!" Xie Kui deliberately screamed beside him.
"Oh, hahaha." Uncle Huo laughed heartily, with a clear expression, and said, "Xiaoman, do you think there are many outstanding men in this world?" It seems that you don't have to worry about your uncle, hahaha. ”
Looking at Uncle Huo, who was laughing heartily, I could only pretend to be embarrassed and lowered my head and screamed softly: "Oops! Uncle Huo! ”
"Haha! Good! Good! I don't say it, I don't say it, I believe that Xiaoman will definitely go his own way. Uncle Huo's face was full of smiles.
"Uncle Huo! One more thing. I said with a sad face.
"What's the matter? You said. Uncle Huo smiled, and the expression on his face became serious.
"Uncle Huo, in a few days, I may have to go to the provincial capital, and there will be fewer opportunities for us to meet in the future, which is one of the reasons why I want to visit you this time."
"Going to the provincial capital?! Why? Uncle Huo was taken aback and asked.
"Uncle Huo, you also know the economic situation of our small town, after all, there are too many debts outside my house, the creditor came to the door some time ago, I, I can't afford to repay the money now, I must obey the creditor's arrangement." I was so embarrassed that I finally finished speaking.
"What?!" Uncle Huo stood up.
"Creditors there? How much do you owe?! ”
"The provincial city owes 10 million, and the people have an IOU from my father himself." I said in a low voice.
