Episode 5 Liu Hong is everywhere
If a person can live for a hundred years, forty years belongs to two-fifths of the time, Guo's mother and brother have broken up since the Liberation War, and now it has been more than forty years, in order not to disturb the two old people's conversation, Chen Shuqin also came to the piano.
If it was usual, Guo Xiaochun would say "Fifth Aunt" very politely, but not now, he was listening carefully to the melodious music of the pianist at this time, and after seeing Chen Shuqin coming over, Guo Xiaochun nodded at her politely, and then turned his head and listened to the piano music.
Next to Guo's mother and brother, Liu Hong and the fat man also got up and sat down, they sat down not far from the big sofa, asked for two cups of coffee from the waiter, and went to do other things.
The fat man loves to read pictorials, as soon as he enters the door, he has no communication with Liu Hong, after sitting down on the side, he is drinking coffee, while flipping through the pictorial sent by the waiter, read very carefully.
Liu Hong's eyes have naturally been staring at Chen Shuqin's body, this sworn enemy in China, I didn't expect it to be the follower of Guo's mother's brother and sister, looking at this situation, they must be related to each other, especially when he saw Guo Xiaochun, he found that this kid and Guo Kaishan looked really similar, not only half a head taller than Guo Kaishan, but his appearance was really first-class, but the age was a little worse, otherwise he would have linked Guo Xiaochun and Chen Shuqin together to judge whether they had a very close relationship.
Chen Shuqin doesn't like to listen to the piano very much, she came to Guo Xiaochunzhi, and it was just 'by the way', if she went in a different direction, she would definitely pass by Liu Hong and the fat man's side, that would be not good, after bypassing the piano, she came to a window seat and sat down, and also asked for a cup of coffee from the waiter, she was drinking coffee. While looking at the night view outside the window, the night view of the harbor is really beautiful, and this big hotel is close to the harbor, and the scenery of the harbor in the distance is simply intoxicating.
The pianist said that she would only play one song, but for the sake of this loyal audience, she played five or six songs, and finally she said, "I really can't play it again today, and I have to go to class tomorrow morning." ”
"You're busy. You're busy, I'll live upstairs, and I'll come down to listen to you play the piano," although Guo Xiaochun was still reluctantly looking forward to the music, he still said insincere words very against his will.
On the big sofa, the words of the two old men can be said to be quite a lot.
"Listen to your old son, my brother-in-law is gone?"
"yes, so. I have to come to see you, and maybe one day I'll be gone, and I'll never see you again. ”
"Look at what you say, you're many years younger than I am. I'm not dead, how can you die first. ”
"Sister-in-law asked you to come, why didn't she come along?"
"Don't mention it, the letter I wrote. You've seen it, I only got into a family in the 60s, and your sister-in-law is many years younger than me. She and her children only value my money, don't hide it from you, before I came, I made a will in advance before leaving, or she wouldn't let me come. ”
"I can understand, I can understand, when we were at home, wasn't it the same, my father had several wives, for the little money in the family, you didn't fight for me, if you don't have money, you can go to Japan to study."
"I'd rather not be born in this kind of family, I haven't been to Japan-Ben, in that case, I can't just get married for a year, and leave the terrace, I miss you so much," Guo's mother and brother said this, and the old tears flowed up.
"No matter how bitter you are, there are people who are more bitter than me, the year after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, I didn't wait for the government of the Republic of China to raid my house, I ran away by myself, so many years, I also raised a large group of children, and there was nothing else left."
"Your affairs, I also know some things, it's all fate, our generation is hard, by the way, who just spoke was your daughter-in-law?"
"The fifth one's is the one who went to the front line, she said that she had time, so she came with me, by the way, do you see the little one over there? That's my eldest grandson," Guo's mother pointed to Guo Xiaochun in the distance, and waved her hand to Guo Xiaochun, and Guo Xiaochun also walked over.
"It's so good, it's really good," the person of the next generation, who looks so handsome, immediately made Brother Guo's mother very happy, he took off a big gold ring from his hand, "It's Xiaochun, I didn't bring you anything when we met for the first time, so I'll give it to you." ”
Guo Xiaochun looked at Guo's mother on the side, not knowing what to do.
"What your uncle gave you, you can take it," Guo's mother showed a kind face, among the next generation, the most eye-catching one for her is this eldest grandson of the long house, she raised him personally, not to mention the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren.
"Xie Lu Xie Uncle Xie," Guo Xiaochun took the gift from Guo's mother and brother, and then didn't dare to sit down, standing beside Guo's mother.
"You go over there to play, I still have something to talk about with your uncle."
"Yes, Grandma."
As soon as he came out of the big sofa, Guo Xiaochun found that the pianist was no longer there, and he put on the gold ring that his uncle gave him, which was just right, as if it was made for him himself.
"Hey, come here," Liu Hong waved his hand at Guo Xiaochun.
"Sir, are you looking for me?"
"How old are you?"
"How old are you?" Guo Xiaochun's face was full of suspicion, and he didn't know how to answer him.
"Let me introduce myself, I am Guo Kaishan's comrade-in-arms, we are a recruit platoon, my name is Liu Hong."
"Oh, it turns out that you are my third uncle's comrade-in-arms, disrespectful and disrespectful, I am from the old family, my father is Guo Kaiwei, uncle, why did you come here?"
Liu Hong pointed to the big sofa, "We are friends of the old gentleman, he came to us before he came, I was afraid of letting the black boy in Hong Kong deceive, now it's okay, forty years later, the brother and sister recognize each other, it's really like the plot in the TV series, come on, child, come to my side and sit down, let's stay and stay, blind for a while." ”
"Blind and white", is the local dialect of City A, these words can be said from Liu Hong's mouth, Guo Xiaochun is more determined to confirm that this Liu Hong is really the comrade-in-arms of the third uncle Guo Kaishan, so he sat down next to Liu Hong, and originally wanted to say hello to the fat man, but when he saw that he didn't raise his head, he looked at the pictorial intently, so he was exempt.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Guo Xiaochun."
"Guo Xiaochun, Guo Xiaoshan, it seems that you are really uncles and brothers, right Xiaochun. Who's the woman sitting over there? She seems to be with you. ”
"That's my fifth aunt Chen Shuqin, don't you need me to introduce you to you."
"That's not necessary, Chen-Shu-Qin, your fifth aunt, then she and Guo Kaiqing are two people?"
"Yes, they are just two people, their son is called Guo Xiaoqing," without waiting for Liu Hong to continue asking, Guo Xiaochun told all the things about Zhilu Dao.
The lobby of the Grand Hotel, after eleven o'clock in the evening. There was almost no one, and the manager of the lobby also knew that Guo's mother was a guest of the 'Shaodong', and he didn't dare to say anything, but he knew that while serving tea back and forth, sending snacks and tea, the waiter did not forget to give Liu Hong this table, as well as Chen Shuqin's table, after all, they must be together.
Maybe it's because I've been looking out the window for a long time. Chen Shuqin wanted to turn around and soothe her eyes, but she suddenly saw Guo Xiaochun chatting with Liu Hong at this time, which made her stand up in a hurry, but fortunately, Guo Xiaochun also looked at her at this time. Chen Shuqin beckoned to him.
"My fifth aunt called me, I'll go over first," the 'uncle' in front of him seemed to know everything. As long as Guo Xiaochun mentions it, Liu Hong will cater to him and talk to him for a long time. Guo Xiaochun had a feeling of hating to see each other late, and reluctantly left the table and came to Chen Shuqin's side.
"Who is he?"
"What do you say about him? He is an old comrade-in-arms of my third uncle, and he came with my uncle. ”
"What are you talking to him about, talking so happily?"
"I didn't talk about anything, I just talked nonsense, and he also said that I looked like a star and wanted me to help him make a movie."
"Don't listen to him, these old men will lie to you young men, I don't think he has any ability, don't you see the fat man next to him, the scar on his neck is more than a foot long, he is not a good person at first glance, when you meet them in the future, stay away from them, do you know the way?"
"Fifth aunt, he is really my third uncle's comrade-in-arms, and he said that he still knows the fifth uncle." ’
"Give me nonsense, I said that he is not a good person, he is not a good person, listen to me, stay away from him." In order to prevent Guo Xiaochun from continuing to chat with Liu Hong, Chen Shuqin pointed to the opposite position with her finger, meaning to let Guo Xiaochun sit down.
A good child is a good child, even if he grows into an adult, Guo Xiaochun sat opposite Chen Shuqin helplessly, looking at the 'fifth aunt' very unnaturally.
At one o'clock in the morning, Guo's mother and brothers and sisters were still chatting, Chen Shuqin wanted to step forward to persuade the old man to rest, but she still didn't dare to get up, "Xiaochun, you go and call your grandma to sleep, what time is it, if you have something to say, you will talk tomorrow." ”
"I'm not going, if I go, she will scold me, if you want to go, you can go," this scolded errand, Guo Xiaochun will not do it no matter how stupid he is.
At this moment, three or four people came in from outside the lobby, all of them tall and tall, and the leading man looked around, and walked to Chen Shuqin's side in the end.
"Boss? What's not? ”
Chen Shuqin pouted at Liu Hong's table.
"I'll just say, I haven't seen them all night." The man in the lead said to himself, he was wearing a black gauze shirt on the top and jeans on the bottom, and his arms were very strong.
The fat man, who had been looking down at the pictorial, had already discovered the people who came after, only to see that his eyes were full of anger, and he stood up from his seat, and let Liu Hong push it down at the end.
The scene of the two sides was all in the eyes of the two old men, they didn't know what the two tables were doing, how it was as if they had met an enemy, so Guo's mother and brother said, "It's too late, I'm going back, let's talk again tomorrow." ”
"It's okay, anyway, there is time, see you tomorrow."
Seeing the two old men get up and tidy up, Liu Hong and the fat man, Chen Shuqin and Guo Xiaochun, also walked over from different directions.
"You know each other?" Guo's mother's brother was a high-ranking official in the national army before he changed jobs in Taiwan, how could he escape his eyes with this move.
"Yes, Officer Chen, we've known each other for a long time," Liu Hong smiled and stretched out his hand to Chen Shuqin.
"Mr. Liu Hong, it's been a long time, I didn't expect you to appear in Hong Kong, we are all guests here, don't mention the previous things, okay?" Chen Shuqin's hand also stretched out, and the two shook together.
"Of course, Hong Kong is a legal area, the territory of the Queen of the Commonwealth, we are all here to sit here, we are more close to the elderly."
"Okay, little sister, that's it, I'll come to you tomorrow."
"See you again, brother."
The Guo family and his party watched Guo's mother and brother get into the car, and it is worth mentioning that the fat man seemed to have a great grudge with the man who came in later to lead, and they kept glaring at each other until they got into the car at the door of the hotel.
"Boss, you just let them go?" The leading man walked up to Chen Shuqin and whispered.
"We're here to kiss, this isn't our place, don't act rashly, just stare at them." Chen Shuqin was like a commander, ordering his subordinates.
Guo's mother's ears are very smart, and she can hear that this man is the voice of the man in Chen Shuqin's room before, it turns out that he is Chen Shuqin's subordinate, it seems that she is thinking too much, so she pulled her grandson Guo Xiaochun and took the elevator upstairs.
