Chapter 52: Uncle

As soon as he heard that Tu Sihai was going to pass on a few tricks to Zhao Liang, Wang Xiaosi's eyes immediately lit up: "I'll go, Director, you are really eccentric!" At the beginning, in order to learn from you, I made two big boxes just for good cigarettes and wine, but in the end, they were all meat buns and dogs......"

"Come on, come on, don't mention that idea," Tu Si Pirate said awkwardly, "Are you embarrassed to say it?" A lot of the cigarettes you make are fake, and the alcohol is okay, but if you take a bottle today and a bottle tomorrow, you drink more than me! Besides, isn't this because Xiao Zhao is going to face censorship, I passed him a few tricks to pass the test, what are you red about? ”

Zhao Liang was also a little excited at this time, and asked, "Director, what good things do you plan to teach me?" ”

Zheng Luya interjected on the side: "Of course, if you want to learn, you must learn to read minds!" Lao Tu's other skills are all tricks that are not in the flow of the rivers and lakes, and it is a shame to learn to go out. ”

Tu Sihai coughed twice in embarrassment: "I said Xiaoya, your mouth is so poisonous, how can you say that about the leader?" Xiao Zhao, don't listen to her nonsense, Director I will work harder, in our anti-penetration bureau, and even the entire agent headquarters, it is all ......"

"I'd better learn to read minds." Zhao Liang said simply.

Tu Sihai was stunned and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"Sure, surely, surely!"

Tu Sihai shook his head helplessly: "Alas, you said that this matter is too troublesome." I was originally going to teach you a few tips for dealing with their internal scrutiny, but how did I turn it into a mind reader? Well, even if I'm willing to teach, you may not be able to learn, so let's give it a try. However, not here, the environment is not right. You go home and rest first, stay with your mother, and I'll find you tonight. ”

Zhao Liang left the secret service headquarters in the afternoon and took the subway back to his home in the north of the city. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted a few times in a row, but he didn't see Zhao Liang's mother's figure. Zhao Liang was wondering why his mother was not in the house when he looked at dinner, and suddenly the door of the guest bedroom opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a vest and pants flip-flops walked out of it.

"Little cousin? Why are you here? When Zhao Liang saw the man, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

The middle-aged man he called "little cousin" rubbed his eyes and replied vaguely: "Oh, it turned out that Ryoko was back, who else should I be." Have you eaten? ”

Zhao Liang put down the bag and said, "No, what about my mother?" ”

"Hey, Sensei." The little cousin complained: "Last week, I came on the front foot, and your mother left on the back foot." said that he went to Hangzhou with an old man surnamed Cui for a trip, and he didn't care whether I lived or died. ”

Zhao Liang thought in his heart: Hmph, don't say that I don't care if you live or die, my mother doesn't care if I live or die. He then asked, "Uncle, are you fighting with my aunt again?" ”

"Isn't it? A rolling pin knocked me here. ”

Zhao Liang's little cousin, named Lao Zhikui, is Zhao Liang's mother's distant cousin. Although he is not young, he is actually fifteen or sixteen years older than Zhao Liang. At the beginning, Zhao Liang's mother almost fell out with the whole family because of Zhao Liang's father's matter, but this little cousin supported her. Later, Lao Zhikui joined the work, and he also came over from time to time to help his sister and nephew.

This person, although he has a good heart, has two problems: one is that he likes to play mahjong, and the other is that he does not do his job. These two characteristics came together, and he lost a good job in a state-owned enterprise, and he could only wander in the antique market all day long, daydreaming of getting rich overnight.

Originally, the size of the antiques was also a livelihood, and it might be possible to cultivate sentiment while making money. However, it is a pity that Lao Zhikui is not this material at all. After three or four years of hard work, not only did he not earn a penny, but he also lost all his family's savings. Among them, including the dowry brought by her aunt Wang Yueqin from her mother's family.

With such a loser on the stall, Wang Yueqin was naturally not happy. Looking at a room full of scrap copper, rotten iron, and broken stones, the anger in her heart didn't come to one place. At the beginning, Wang Yueqin could still persuade Lao Zhikui in a good voice and angrily to go out and find a serious job, and life could always go on plainly. But who would have thought that every time Wang Yueqin opened her mouth, Lao Zhikui would be able to lecture her at length in turn, as if he had done something wrong. His grandmother's, the old lady is not powerful, are you Lao Zhikui when I am Hello Ketty? Since the "weapon of criticism" is not easy to use, then we can only use the "weapon of criticism"!

Wang Yueqin's hometown is in Cangzhou, Hebei, the hometown of China's famous martial arts, and she has practiced "Bagua Serial Palm" and "Invincible Mandarin Duck Legs" since she was a child. Her kung fu can't be compared with her brothers, but beating Lao Zhiquina is definitely more than enough. Today a set of palm techniques, tomorrow a set of leg exercises, the day after tomorrow I remembered the "Wulang Bagua Stick" I learned when I was six years old, and Lao Zhikui jumped up and down and hid in Tibet.

Zhao Liang's mother once looked for Wang Yueqin for this matter, but the conversation and persuasion had no effect. You know, this aunt is also a good hand inside and out, and when she saw her sister-in-law's sister-in-law running to Xingshi to ask for guilt, people made a move - crying! also blamed Lao Zhikui for himself, he did something that didn't slip all day long, and the handle was held by his daughter-in-law, so he didn't pay attention to it.

"Zhikui, why don't you go to the police station to report the case, just say that Yueqin is violent to you." Zhao Liang's mother ran out of options, and gave her cousin an idea: "Let the police educate her." ”

Lao Zhikui shook his head again and again after hearing this: "That's not possible." The ugliness of the family can't be publicized, and you can't say anything to this point. ”

Some time ago, Lao Zhikui made another mistake. One day, an old man from Shaanxi came to the antique market, carrying a bag of small bronze objects, saying that he had dug them out of the ground. The connoisseurs in the market knew what was going on as soon as they looked at it, and no one paid attention to the old man. At this time, Lao Zhikui happened to pass by, and was fooled by the old man, and he couldn't help but be moved. He hid from his daughter-in-law, secretly took 20,000 yuan from home, and took back all the bronze pieces in the old man's hand.

This is equivalent to stabbing a hornet's nest.

After Wang Yueqin knew about this, she didn't talk nonsense to her husband, and immediately recalled the "iron-faced judge's pen" she learned when she was four years old, picked up the rolling pin and stabbed Lao Zhikui twice. Don't say it, this acupuncture point was found very accurately, and the two rolling pins almost didn't stab Lao Zhikui in the back, and scared him so much on the spot that he couldn't even wear clothes, and ran to his cousin's house in a panic to take refuge.

After listening to his cousin's tragic experience, Zhao Liang couldn't help but express deep sympathy. A spontaneous sense of compassion prompted him to decide to return to the blood on the spot, and pay for Lao Zhikui to eat a bowl of ramen downstairs to replenish his body.

Lao Zhikui was quite moved by this, and ran downstairs with Zhao Liang, sat down in the small noodle restaurant, and chatted while eating. Lao Zhikui asked Zhao Liang: "Hey, I said Liangzi, listen to your mother, didn't you move to the dormitory last month?" How did you get your luggage back today? ”

Zhao Liang hesitated slightly, and replied, "Oh, I just completed an important task, so the leader gave me a few days off." ”

"What mission?" Lao Zhikui came to his senses and asked, "Hurry up and tell me about it." Is there another spy of any country who has fallen into the vast sea of our people's war? ”

Zhao Liang glanced at him angrily: "I am dealing with the internal contradictions of the people, and there are no enemy spies." ”

Lao Zhikui was stunned: "Contradictions among the people? Isn't that supposed to be in the hands of the police? Are your agents now meddling in this field? ”

"Alas, I can't understand a sentence or two." Zhao Liang turned to ask, "Uncle, how long do you plan to live here?" ”

Lao Zhikui pulled a few mouthfuls of noodles and muttered in his mouth, "When?" Of course, when your aunt came and begged me for forgiveness. ”

Zhao Liangxin said: Then I'm afraid you will have to live in my house for the rest of your life. He couldn't help but persuade Lao Zhikui: "Uncle, no matter what you say this time, you are at fault first, you shouldn't hide from your aunt and secretly embezzle the family's public funds, and she should lose her temper." Wouldn't it be okay for you to apologize to my aunt and be sincere? ”

"Grandma! Apologize to her?! Even if I agreed, I wouldn't be able to say yes to these two bruises on my body. Lao Zhikui slapped the chopsticks on the table: "I have already calculated, take this opportunity, it is rare to have a clean time, I want to study hard, and strive to improve my business level." When I get back, I'll make a big deal, so that the girl will regret it! ”

Zhao Liangwu was a little puzzled: "Study? Which discipline do you learn? ”

Lao Zhikui said: "Of course, it is in terms of antique appraisal and collection. The hearts of those grandsons in the market are too dark, and if I don't have a skill, I will have to be played by them when I go back. ”

Zhao Liang suddenly realized: "Oh, I said it." As soon as I got home and entered the door, I saw several books on the shoe cabinet. Terrific! ”

Lao Zhikui smiled triumphantly: "Hey, it's a little meaning...... Hey boss, please give me another bowl of ramen! ”

After dinner, Zhao Liang called his mother and said that he had gone home for the past two days. Zhao Liang's mother was shopping for supper at the night market with a group of old men and ladies on the other end of the phone, and she couldn't hear the chaos clearly. While talking and laughing with the people around her, she told Zhao Liang to be good, casually told her to "eat on time and drink more water", and hurriedly hung up the phone.

Zhao Liang shook his head helplessly, sat on the sofa in the living room and played games, while Lao Zhikui held the book and pretended to do research. But in less than half an hour, the goods couldn't stand it, and they went to the toilet for a while, and then rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find snacks, and they didn't stop for a moment. He escaped from danger this time, and he walked in a hurry, not only did he not wear his clothes, but he also lost his mobile phone at home. At this moment, Lao Zhikui seemed to have lost his soul, and he was indescribably awkward and uncomfortable.

"I said, uncle, can you rest for a while?" Zhao Liang put down his phone and said helplessly.

Lao Zhikui was also embarrassed and explained: "Oh Liangzi, you don't know. Every night at this time, I have to get used to reading Weibo and scrolling through Douyin. Now I don't have a mobile phone, it's really ...... It's a bit awkward. ”

"Aren't you studying? What kind of mobile phone are you playing? ”

"Look at what you said, don't you have to pay attention to a combination of work and rest in everything. I've been reading for so long, I should take a break before I can continue studying, otherwise my efficiency will be greatly reduced. ”

Zhao Liang sighed helplessly, got up and rummaged in his bedroom for a long time, and then came out with an old mobile phone and handed it to Lao Zhikui: "Here, uncle." Let's make do with my previous one, it's okay, the charging cable is in the TV cabinet. In addition, my mother used to have a calling card, she changed her number a while ago, and she didn't use it anymore. You put it on and see, if the balance is insufficient, I will charge you some more phone bills. ”

Lao Zhikui raised his eyebrows, and while tinkering with the phone card and charging cable, he said gratefully: "Liangzi, my uncle has already seen it, you are definitely a good boy who is sensible, and I didn't hurt you in vain when I was a child." ”

Zhao Liang was a little embarrassed by his words, and was about to say a polite word, when a knock suddenly sounded outside, and then Tu Sihai's voice came in: "Is Zhao Liang at home?" ”
