Chapter 9: Aunt from Heaven
Chapter 9: Aunt from Heaven
The car drove directly into the square, and after parking, two people stepped out of the car. Two pretty stylish guys!
A man and a woman, the man looks like an official, in his forties, with a rather majestic appearance, a big back, a square face, a high nose bridge and a big nose, a black suit, and a casual stand, he is very stylish.
The woman is completely a temperamental, knowledge-type female surname, tall, not fat or thin, with good facial features, good skin, and no makeup. The age is not visible, it should be thirty-seven or eighteen, less than forty. Also dressed in black.
The whole village looked at each other, but no one knew each other, and Chen Weizheng also looked at each other, but they didn't know each other. Chen Baoliang, who was the village director, greeted him.
The man and woman ignored Chen Baoliang, but walked directly towards the eighteenth master, Chen Chuanping, the old man.
"Eighteen Uncle" The woman screamed, this sound, the whole village was startled, which room is this, called Eighteen Uncle!
"Little Mei's niece." Jiang is really old and spicy, and the people in the whole village don't know, only the eighteenth master knows.
The whole village looked at the two men who spoke with amazement.
"This is my dad?" The woman asked, pointing to the urn.
"Dad?" The whole village shouted, and Chen Weizheng also looked at the woman with a surprised expression.
"Yes" The eighteenth master replied affirmatively, the woman's feet were weak, and she knelt down on the spot, kowtowing three times, and the man followed and bowed three times. The woman stood up, walked to Chen Weizheng's side, took off the filial piety cloth on Chen Weizheng's head, put it on her head, and said, "My aunt is here, you can just wear linen, and I will bring filial piety." ”
Chen Weizheng looked at the woman in front of him, and said to himself in disbelief: "Auntie." "I seem to understand something.
The woman looked at Chen Weizheng, nodded, stretched out her hand, and straightened Chen Weizheng's hair that was messed up when he was wearing filial piety.
The middle-aged man on the side walked up to the eighteenth master and whispered something to the eighteenth master, and it could be seen that they were very familiar. After saying a few words, the Eighteenth Master seemed to have made some decision and nodded heavily. Go to the whole village.
"Everyone may wonder, when did the fifteenth brother have such a daughter," said the eighteenth master.
The whole village looked at him and nodded in unison, and Chen Weigang also looked at the eighteenth master, waiting for the eighteenth master to open the cup. At this time, the car behind also stopped, and the people in the car came out, these people are more familiar to everyone, they are the leaders of the township, basically, the party and government groups of the whole township are here. Chen Baoliang was familiar with them and was handing out cigarettes to light a fire.
"Do you remember the accident in Baoguo seven years ago?"
Everyone nodded.
"Everyone knows that Baoguo is a martyr, who saved people in the mudslide, it is the one in front of us, surnamed Liu, called Liu Dehou. At that time, he was still the county magistrate of our county, what do you do now, I asked him" The eighteenth master turned his head and asked, only then did he say loudly again, "In the city, um, um, be the leader." "What kind of leader should he be, it is estimated that Liu Dehou did not say, the eighteenth master estimates that the official is always getting bigger and bigger, and now Liu Dehou's official must be the county magistrate seven years ago.
"After Baoguo was killed, Dehou came to our village and found the fifteenth brother, he must recognize the fifteenth brother as his father, and he must replace Baoguo to give the fifteenth brother a pension, the fifteenth brother is not allowed, saying that the county magistrate can not recognize Lao Tzu, one must recognize, one must not be allowed, and later Zhao Changfu of Xiling Township came up with an idea to ask Dehou's wife to recognize the fifteenth brother as a father, just right, Dehou's wife Xiaomei is also surnamed Chen, and the fifteenth brother was relieved. When recognizing relatives, the fifteenth brother was afraid of affecting Xiaomei's nieces and nephews, so he refused to make wine, so he called me and Zhao Changfu to testify. ”
At this time, Chen Xiaomei on the side spoke: "A few years ago, I always wanted to come to Longshan Chen Village to visit everyone, but my father was always not allowed, saying that he was afraid that it would affect Dehou badly, and he wanted to pick him up for the New Year's Festival, and he didn't go to the old man's house, and he didn't wear new clothes to buy him, once, I knelt in front of him and cried, and asked him, is it that we don't have Brother Baoguo, or think of Brother Baoguo when we see us, and don't want us to be filial, so he went back to me and lived for half a month." As she spoke, Chen Xiaomei cried again.
After crying for a while, Chen Xiaomei turned to Chen Weizheng and said, "When you were in high school, we were still in the county, and your grandfather didn't allow us to recognize you, saying don't mess with your mind." We didn't dare to blatantly go to see you, I was in the Education Bureau at the time, and I often found excuses to go to the county No. 1 middle school, in fact, I just wanted to see you. You went to college, I asked your grandfather, this time I can recognize my nephew, your grandfather didn't speak, I don't dare to recognize it. ”
Chen Weizheng knew why he was so smooth sailing in the last two years of the county No. 1 middle school, it turned out that there was the county magistrate and the county magistrate's wife behind the back, in the county No. 1 middle school, Chen Weizheng had a teacher to envy the students to focus on tutoring, and a single dormitory to make the students envious, in the name of helping the school manage sports equipment. There are hardship subsidies issued by the school every semester, subsidies for martyrs' families, and scholarships issued under various names, with an average of about 500 yuan a month, which is richer than most students. When the college entrance examination was approaching, the principal also regularly sent supplements such as milk and eggs in the name of concern...... Now he knew that these were not subsidized by the school, but by the aunt in front of him. Thinking of this, Chen Weizheng took out his wallet and took out a postal savings card, which was given to him by his grandfather when he was in college, saying, there are 3,000 yuan in it, and the password is the last six digits of the ID card. On the first day of the first month of the new year, 10,000 yuan will be automatically deposited into the card. With this 10,000 yuan a year, he finished four years of college. Now he knows where the money came from! Grandpa only knew that there was a card of 3,000 yuan, and he didn't know that there was another amount of money until he died.
"This card was given to me by my aunt?" He asked, he just wanted to get an answer, in fact, he already had the answer in his heart, except for the person in front of him, who else in his life circle could have such a big deal.
"I have a copy of your ID." The aunt did not answer him directly.
"Auntie, thank you." Chen Weizheng said sincerely.
"I'm your aunt." Chen Xiaomei looked at him kindly.
"Auntie." Chen Weizheng's tears that he had endured for a long time finally fell uncontrollably, his mother was gone, and his father, his father died, and his grandfather, after his grandfather died, he felt that he had become an orphan for the first time, but at this time, he felt that he was not an orphan, and he also had an aunt, an aunt who had been silently caring for him in the dark for seven years.
"Don't cry, don't cry, manly husband," watched Chen Weizheng grow up and silently followed him for seven years, Chen Xiaomei had no strangeness to Chen Weizheng at all, in her mind, she had long regarded Chen Weizheng as her own nephew.
"Come, I've seen your uncle." Chen Xiaomei took Chen Weizheng's hand and came to Liu Dehou.
"Uncle." Chen Weizheng shouted.
Liu Dehou patted Chen Weizheng on the shoulder and said, "Young man, he looks like your father, taller than your father." ”
Chen Weizheng lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly.
The next home field was handed over to the eighteenth master, and after a large set of sacrificial procedures, the work on the side of the big camphor tree finally came to an end. The women stayed to cook, and the men all went to the cemetery.
On the way, Chen Baoliang asked Secretary Huang of the Township Party Committee what department his cousin-in-law who fell from the sky is doing now, and Township Secretary Huang Shengyuan told him very seriously: "Member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Deputy Mayor." ”
As soon as the old man Chen Chuanping followed, he chatted with Liu Dehou all the way.
"Dehou, why didn't Changfu come?"
"Changfu? Did Changfu say he was coming? ”
"Didn't Changfu tell you that your old father-in-law was buried today?"
"No, it was Secretary Huang of the Township Party Committee who informed me."
"I thought Changfu informed you."
"You informed Changfu?" Liu Dehou felt strange, if Zhao Changfu had been notified, Zhao Changfu would have no reason not to notify him, and if he came here, Zhao Changfu should have waited for him a long time ago. It seems that Zhao Changfu did not get the news.
"And said! Angry! "As soon as the old man thought about the phone call yesterday, the nameless fire started." Yesterday, I made a phone call to Changfu, and a secretary surnamed Zhang received a call, and this little cub educated me on the phone, saying that if you want to report the problem, you should go through the right channels, and if everyone in the county calls the leader, the leader will not even have time to fart. ”
Seeing that the old man was still angry, Liu Dehou said: "It is estimated that the secretary did not notify Changfu, don't be angry, don't be angry, I will call Changfu immediately and ask him to bring the little secretary to apologize to you." ”
As he spoke, he dialed his phone. connected, and only said one sentence: "I'm in Chen Village, Longshan, bring your secretary over." ”
Chen Xiaomei is nominally a daughter and must go to the cemetery. Chen Weizheng held the urn, Chen Xiaomei held a black umbrella, and chatted all the way, after all, the old man has been almost a year, and this time it is just a burial rather than a new funeral, so there is not much sadness. The main question is to ask Chen Weizheng about his life and study in the past few years. When she knew that Chen Weizheng had been a fool for a whole year and dragged the old man to death, she said angrily: "It's all your grandfather's fault, I am not allowed to recognize you, if you have my phone code in your hand, I will rush over in minutes with a call, you don't have to suffer so much, and your grandfather will not get a small lesion because no one takes care of him." ”
Chen Weizheng thought about it, his aunt's words were very reasonable, although he had known this aunt for less than half a day, he had completely regarded her as his own aunt.
Grandpa is an old-school person, and he doesn't want to trouble people in his life, and he also doesn't want to trouble Chen Xiaomei. He strictly forbade Chen Xiaomei and his wife to come to Longshan, because he didn't want the people of Chen Village to know that there was such a relative who was a big leader, and if the people of Chen Village in Longxiang went to Liu Dehou to ask for benefits all day long, it would hurt Chen Xiaomei and his wife. For this reason, he solemnly warned the current patriarch Eighteen Old Man that as long as he still had a breath of air, he would not allow the people of Longshan Chen Village to trouble Liu Dehou. Chen Weigang failed the civil service exam twice, and the eighteenth master had already wanted to go to Liu Dehou several times, but in the end, he still didn't dare to think about it.
As for the reluctance to let their aunts and nephews recognize each other, the old man mainly doesn't want Chen Weizheng to change the worldview he has formed, you must know that in high school, if you know that there is a powerful backstage to support you, many people will immediately become spiritual or material nouveau riche, and your whole life will be completely deformed. As for college, the elderly may think that they should be more independent in their reading skills and more practical on their own.
The savings card, the old man thinks that it is just a consumption card that will be used up, and 3,000 yuan is not much, and the cost of entering school is large, so it is also a good thing to be able to subsidize 3,000 yuan. If he knew that there were 20,000 in it, and that he could deposit it at any time, he would never ask for it.
It is precisely because of the old man's persistence and self-esteem that he has won the trust and respect of Chen Xiaomei and his wife. If there was still a little idea of repaying when he first recognized his relatives, after a period of time, he was completely impressed by the old man's simple personality and completely treated him as an old man in his own family.
