Chapter 312: Interlude: Two Supernatural Stories About Me (4)
Seeing the luxurious scene inside, I couldn't take a step, and the thick Turkish carpet, walking on it, is like walking on a mattress, soft and suitable for the feet, and there will be no footsteps, ensuring the silence of the whole room, and the furniture and furnishings with a strong sense of heaviness are definitely not what the average chain hotel can do.

"Young man...... Don't be stunned over there, come and sit! The old man stood beside the sofa and greeted me again and again, and it was under the old man's greeting that I mustered up the courage to walk over, and then I sat down on the sofa a little uncomfortably under the old man's concession seat.
At this time, the middle-aged woman who opened the door for me brought a bottle of Evian mineral water and put it in front of me, and said embarrassedly: "We have packed a lot of things for tonight's plane, so we can only do a little bit!" ”
Oh, my God...... Treating with Evian mineral water turned out to be a general, this makes me extremely uncomfortable, don't these Chinese who have been abroad all year round know that in China, Evian mineral water is a very high-end brand?
The old man obviously couldn't tolerate the middle-aged woman and me politely, and asked straight to the point: "Young man, what is your relationship with Zhang Hansan?" ”
This question made it difficult for me to answer, so I could only turn to other things, confirm the identity of this old man and ask, "May I ask if you are Uncle Su Bingyi Su?" ”
When the old man heard this, he nodded frequently, and asked the middle-aged woman to bring her papers, and then showed me: "Young man, I ...... I am Su Bingyi, this is my ID, you can verify it! "I looked at the stance. Hurriedly brought the camphor wooden box to Su Bingyi and said, "I'm just going to confirm it." After all, it was entrusted by Zhang Hansan. Uncle Su. This is what Zhang Hansan asked me to bring to you! ”
He ...... Where is he? In the past few days I have been dreaming of him, saying that he can't come to see me, but there is one thing that must be handed over to me, and I can't imagine that this dream can come true! The old man excitedly opened the camphor wooden box and saw all kinds of gold utensils inside, as well as several unknown components and passbooks. When I saw his inquiry, I could only tell the truth: "Old Man Zhang has passed away!" ”
"Passed away? That...... So who told you to come here to me? Su Bingyi asked with some incomprehension:
"It's hard to put into words, if you have the heart to listen. I'll tell you, but don't call me a liar or a jerk! "Because this thing I encountered is difficult for ordinary people to understand and accept, so I have to say ugly things first. Su Bingyi sighed and said, "Young man, I'm such an old man, there's no need to speak ill of each other." What's more, these components are definitely Zhang Hansan's, and they can't be outsiders, so you definitely won't lie to me. And ......" Speaking of this, Su Bingyi pointed to the middle-aged woman who had been standing beside him and said, "This is my daughter, and there is my niece in that room." She should still be sleeping now, young man. They all like to play late, if you think it's inconvenient to say that they are there, we can take a step to speak......" I saw that Old Man Su Bingyi was so polite, and quickly interrupted: "No, no, no...... There's no need to shy away, I'll just say it! So I told Su Bingyi and his daughter what I had happened last night. After hearing this, Su Bingyi shook his head excitedly and said: "Han San, Han San, why do you bother, you are all in the ground, why do you still want to remember this matter?" ”
Su Bingyi's daughter is obviously highly educated, and she has some doubts about what I just said, but seeing that her father was so excited and sad, she didn't come to refute and question me, but just comforted her father all the time. After Su Bingyi's mood settled down a little, he slowly recalled and said: "That experience is really unbearable, three years of natural disasters, so that we are all in the predicament of hunger and cold, we can eat everything, that day, the brigade harvested a batch of corn, locked the corn in the warehouse, the brigade secretary is very clear, the general locks can not prevent the villagers from stealing, so I found me, I am a craftsman born, I like to pour what kind of precision things on weekdays, under the instruction of the brigade secretary, I designed a set of locks specifically for the storeroom, which is the most proud work of my life, and it is impossible for anyone to open it except me. After the lock was hung up in the warehouse, sure enough, the villagers had no choice but to sigh with hope! Zhang Hansan was my best friend at the time, and he knew that I had designed the locks for the warehouse, so he started the idea of the warehouse. Zhang Hansan said his thoughts, I didn't refuse Zhang Hansan's request, and put a few components of the unlocked on the table......" When Su Bingyi said about the "several components", he looked at the components in the camphor box, and it was obvious that the components in the camphor box should be the "customs clearance lock" that could open the corn warehouse at that time. I saw Su Bingyi continue: "...... In order to avoid suspicion, on the night when Zhang Hansan was about to steal, I went to the house of the brigade secretary and chatted with him, which I completely chose in terms of time. It wasn't until someone came to report that all the warehouses where the corn was stored had been robbed that I was taken aback! ”
"Old man Su, why are you so frightened?" I asked, a little puzzled:
"I thought that Zhang Hansan would steal a few corn cobs by himself, and then lock the door again, and this thing passed unconsciously, but I didn't expect the villagers to stare at the warehouse, and when they saw someone open the warehouse door, they rushed in, and snatched the few corn cobs inside, which was unexpected. Zhang Hansan was forced to hide, and the secretary of the brigade could not find the initiator, so he imposed all the charges on my head, saying that I had deliberately designed a set of defective locks for Zhang Hansan to use for theft, but because there was no sufficient evidence, and I could not be convicted, in the end, there was no way, so he asked me to do the dirtiest and most painful work in the whole village - cleaning dung. For this reason, I worked as a manure cleaner for three years. Su Bingyi was still a little choked up when he said this, the three years of inhuman life still made this old man still remember it vividly, I saw him shake his head and continued: "In that era, information was relatively closed. After Zhang Hansan fled. There is not much missing. At that time, the household registration system was very important, and people couldn't leave their hometown casually, so I thought that Zhang Hansan's life on the run should not be as good as mine, so from the bottom of my heart, I didn't hate Zhang Hansan at all. For a while, the policy was relatively relaxed, and the Gang of Four was also defeated. Zhang Hansan actually wrote me a letter for the first time, saying that he has always felt very guilty and feels very indebted to me, so he has always wanted to find a chance to repay me, but now he can't return to the village in a bright way, so I don't know when this debt will be made up? At that time, he was probably afraid that someone would find out his traces, so there was no return address on the envelope at all, so I received this letter. I don't know how to get in touch with him. After the reform and opening up, the policy is very good. With my craft, I quickly started trading, and made the first pot of gold in my life, had children, and lived a happy life, I bought a house in the city, had a better place to live, and was far away from my hometown. Occasionally, when I go back to my hometown, I will hear some news about Zhang Hansan, but it is not very systematic, it should be said, basically cut off contact. But I know that he is living a good life, and he has not reached the point where he wanders around without a household registration. In the 90s, we got in touch, but unfortunately, I followed my eldest daughter to France, and he was planning about his children's marriage, so I still didn't see him before I left my country, and I didn't think that he was ...... It's already gone...... It's a pity......" Su Bingyi was already crying bitterly when he said this!
Old man Su Bingyi was obviously not in very good health, his daughter saw his excitement, immediately took out some medicine boxes printed in foreign languages, took out some medicine from inside, let Su Bingyi old man swallow, when Su Bingyi old man was swallowing medicine, the door of the bedroom at the other end opened, and out came a tall and simple young girl, this girl looked like Chinese, but faintly, there were some like foreigners, the hair is black, but the eyes are a little blue, the skin is not the special yellow of the yellow race, Unlike the special white of the Caucasians, the facial features are delicate and three-dimensional, especially the face, which has the characteristics of the melon seed face of Chinese girls (now a more respected saying called awl face), but the facial features on the face have the characteristics of Westerners: the bridge of the nose is straight, and the eyes are big. Especially the figure, the woman came out barefoot, but even with a net height, she looked like she was 170 centimeters. There is not a trace of fat on the body, maybe this girl doesn't know that there is an outsider like me here, or maybe the girl who grew up in the West is more open, with a camisole and a pair of sports shorts all over her body, I don't dare to look at it directly!
The girl was the first to notice that an outsider was here, and said something I didn't understand at all. Su Bingyi's daughter felt that it was a little rude to speak to outsiders like this, so she quickly introduced me in Chinese: "Mr. Jiang, she is my daughter, Susan, she asked us who are you?" ”
At this time, Su Bingyi also took the pill, perhaps showing some unhappiness about his niece's abrupt application of foreign languages: "Susan, my grandfather has made three chapters with you, and when he comes to China, he speaks Chinese, how can he speak French?" ”
That Susan knew that she was at a loss, so she hurriedly rushed to her grandfather's side, hugged her grandfather's neck, and was coquettish for a while, I don't know if Su Bingyi, who is already old, can stand such coquettishness, as far as I am an outsider, I am already full of goosebumps. It seems that there is still a certain gap between Chinese and French cultures!
Su Bingyi asked Susan to wash up first, and then greeted me: "Young man, I'm sorry, my niece is still a little pretentious, no way, she is spoiled by her parents, which is like our Chinese education method, firmly determined that 'the stick head produces a filial son, and the chopsticks head produces a rebel son'!" Su Bingyi explained and laughed, then Susan was disgusted with her grandfather, and she shouldn't expose her shortcomings in front of outsiders. Then she saw the camphor box on the table, and was curious for a moment, so she played with it, but this behavior was stopped by Su Bingyi and said: "Susan, hurry up and wash up, it's very rude to see outsiders with such sleepy eyes." It doesn't matter if you give this thing to you later," Susan saw that her grandfather was not allowed and did not insist, so she said, "Okay! He walked to the bathroom.
Susan came out for less than three minutes, but she left a deep impression on me, this girl is not only beautiful in appearance, but also very delicate in temperament, in the current language, she belongs to the kind of very down-to-earth returnees. Between words and deeds. You can also feel that its emotional intelligence is very high. If you stay in China, it should be very popular with Chinese boys!
Su Bingyi saw that Susan went to the bathroom, and said to me again: "What else did Zhang Hansan explain?" ”
I hurriedly picked up a passbook in the camphor box and said: "Mr. Zhang has repeatedly explained that this passbook is left to you, this is a part of his income every month, do a small deposit and withdrawal, you take a look, the withdrawal password says it is your birthday!" Old man Su Bingyi took the passbook. Looking at the numbers in the passbook, he shook his head frequently and said: "Lao Zhang, why bother with this...... Su Bingyi muttered a sentence and continued: "People in our era thought that the people in capitalist countries were living in dire straits and living a very difficult life. I can have this to pay for my living expenses. Alas...... It can only be said that Lao Zhang's heart is too kind......" Su Bingyi said this, and began to cry again. His daughter saw that her father's mood swings were a little big, and she was worried that she would not be able to bear it physically, so she said next to her: "I think this matter is still about the same, Dad, you don't have to be too excited, Uncle Zhang died, let's mourn and change, we have to catch a plane tonight." It's going to be a night's work. So ......"
"So what?" Uncle Su Bingyi interrupted: "I know my body best, I haven't gotten together with Lao Zhang for so many years, and I'm still worried about me when I die, can't I be excited?" I saw Uncle Su Bingyi angry with his daughter about this, which was a bit unworthy. So he hurriedly persuaded and said: "Uncle Su, what your daughter said is right, you came back this time to apply for a tourist visa, and you will stay for less time, and when you come back next time, I will personally take you to Uncle Zhang's house to see."
I thought it was a good statement, but I didn't expect it to become the fuse, as soon as Uncle Su Bingyi heard my words, his face immediately changed and said, "Did you hear that?" Even outsiders know my heart to return to the roots, why don't you understand? Tourist visa? Do I need a tourist visa to go back to my home country? Big joke. I'll tell you clearly now, I'm not going back to this France, I'll follow Xiao Jiang to worship Lao Zhang......"
"Dad......" Su Bingyi's daughter was really a little anxious when she saw her father say this, "Can your body still allow you to stay here for a long time?" We can't ......" Su Bingyi's daughter was interrupted by Su Bingyi's righteous words before she finished speaking: "What my body doesn't allow?" Let me tell you this, I came back this time, but I wasn't ready to go back alive? What's wrong? I'm dying of old age, and you won't let me die steadily! Let me tell you, this place is the place where I was born and raised, and my parents, your grandparents, are here to settle down, what's the matter? What is it that I am dying here to stop you? The more Su Bingyi spoke, the more excited he became, and let Su Bingyi's daughter not agree, nor did she refute, no matter what she did, it was wrong, and her eyes were red when she was anxious. It seems that the father and daughter have been arguing over Su Bingyi's "destination" for a long time, and it is not a "grudge" of one or two days. In this way, it seems that I am not a person inside and outside when I look in the mirror. To persuade or not to persuade? The two were embarrassed, when one was excited, Susan heard the argument and threw it out of the bathroom, at this time Susan was almost finished washing, with no makeup, but it looked elegant and dignified, compared with those girls who can only rely on makeup to maintain their appearance, Susan is definitely "natural to carve, clear water out of hibiscus", that kind of unearthly feeling, directly made me stay on the spot. Susan ran to Su Bingyi's side, her forehead against Su Bingyi's forehead, like a little girl who didn't grow up, and said softly: "Grandpa...... We have made three chapters of the law, and I have firmly implemented them, so what about you? If you say yes, you won't get angry easily? Can we happily carry out the three chapters of this covenant? Old man Su Bingyi obviously loves his niece very much, and he was still very excited, but under the persuasion of his niece, he suddenly "died down" and said: "Susan! My grandfather really wanted to stay in China and didn't go back. It seems to look at the old folks, as if to go to see Zhang Hansan's grave and pay respects! I'm afraid...... I'm afraid that if I go back to France, I won't have this opportunity again! ”
Seeing that her grandfather had a lot of helplessness, Susan still said in the style of a little girl: "Grandpa, let's think about whether this is the reason: if you insist on staying here, as soon as the tourist visa expires, you will be staying illegally." The Chinese people don't agree with you staying here anymore! Even if you want to spend your old age here, do you have to go back and settle the visa problem? ”
I have to say. Susan's little girl's style to deal with Su Bingyi's old man is far more effective than Su Bingyi's daughter's straightforwardness. (To be continued.) )
