After New Year's Day, my father went to work in the second uncle's company as usual, and met with the second uncle, but no one mentioned the matter of his children. Perhaps they did not know that his daughter and his son had been secretly married, and that the two brothers had become in-laws.

On the first night of work after New Year's Day, the second uncle asked his father to attend a party in the company, and a real estate developer hosted a banquet for the second uncle at the Million Mansion Restaurant. The real estate developer wanted to develop a piece of land in the south of the city, and wanted to ask the demolition company under the second uncle to contract the demolition task, and the demolition company under the second uncle was in charge of the three guns.

At the banquet that day, my father drank a few more sips of wine, and after the banquet was over, the second uncle asked Quan to drive his father home with three shots. The car drove to the entrance of the alley, and after it stopped, before getting out of the car, his father asked Quan Sangun: "Sangun, you tell the truth to your uncle, do you know where Quan Hu and my family Baozhen are now?" ”

Quan Sangun thought for a while and said: "Quan Hu and Baozhen have already left, they have already gotten married, and they left the day before yesterday, probably to Shanghai." ”

His father said that he should have expected it, but his expression at the time showed that he really didn't expect it: "Marriage? Are they already married? ”

Quan Sangun said: "They can't help but get married, Baozhen is already pregnant with Quan Hu's child, and it is even more difficult not to get married." ”

The father didn't say anything more, he opened the car door with his hands and feet sluggish, got out of the car, and just took two steps before his legs went limp and collapsed on the side of the road.

When Bao Liang and his mother rushed to the hospital, his father had already been injected with a hanging needle, which contained a calming and hypnotic drug in addition to the medicine for high blood pressure, and the father quickly fell asleep. The second uncle also rushed to visit, and when he saw that his father was no longer in danger, he asked the doctor about the situation before returning home. Before leaving, he said to his mother: "Sister, you tell the third brother that it doesn't matter if he wants to be with me as an in-laws, whether he is in-laws or not, we are still brothers." The children are all older, we can't manage it if we want to, let them go. Let's be the elders, don't get along with our bodies, it's true to live a long life. Bao Liang stood behind his mother, and in his second uncle's words, he couldn't hear whether he was clear about the fact that Quan Hu and his sister had become husband and wife.

When my father woke up, he lay in the hospital for two more days before he was discharged home. Uncle Yu came to visit the house once, and his father opened Baoliang and his mother, closed the bedroom door and talked with Uncle Yu for a long, long time. When Uncle Yu left, his face was gloomy, but he didn't forget to smile at Bao Liang, who was doing his homework at the door. Bao Liang suddenly hated this Uncle Yu, and he even concluded that the reason why his father opposed his sister's marriage and brutally put his sister under house arrest in the small building in the provincial capital was probably Uncle Yu's idea and the trap set by Uncle Yu.

From then on, my father was even more silent. As long as the father is at home, the family becomes silent. His father only spoke to Bao Liang when he seriously asked him to study hard. His father demanded that Bao Liang must be admitted to the best high school in Jianning, because only by going to high school can he be admitted to university. His father said that he had already agreed with an acquaintance at the Provincial Public Security College that as long as Bao Liang's score passed the admission line of the Public Security College, he would definitely accept him to go to school there. Although this will be a few years away, it is necessary to redouble our efforts and lay the foundation from now on. Our Lu family depends on you!

When my father said these words, his attitude was serious, and although his words were repetitive, his tone was always intensely agitated. When it comes to emotion, there will be a little tear in his eyes. Bao Liang listened as usual every time, nodded as usual, and then said "Hmm" as usual.

At that time, Baoliang was at home, and only his mother could talk to him. Most of the places where the mother and son talk are in the kitchen and the back door, and other corners where the father can be avoided. Most of the content of their conversation was about her sister - about her sister's whereabouts, about her life, about whether she was happy, about whether Quan Hu still loved her...... And the child in her womb, is it a boy or a girl? Mother said that it would be good if it were a boy, a boy is the hope of the family's ancestors, and when he grows up, he will fall in love and get married, and he will not be as worrying as a girl.

Bao Liang asked his mother: "If my sister gives birth to a boy, will my father agree to her and Brother Quan Hu?" ”

The mother asked rhetorically, "Really?" ”

Bao Liang said: "Because my father values boys, if my sister gives birth to a boy, my father will not have to force me to study all day long." If I can't be admitted to the Public Security Academy, and my sister's children, if he is admitted, he will be the same as his ancestors. ”

The mother was stunned for a long time, sighed and said, "Alas, even if your sister gives birth to a boy, she is also a seedling from a powerful family." It is the ancestors of other people, and the light is the sect of others, and it has nothing to do with the Lu family. ”

The long sigh about my sister is also a part of the meeting between Baoliang and Li Chen Liu Cunliang. Li Chen also whimsically proposed that everyone save money to help Bao Liang go to Shanghai and perform a modern legend of looking for his sister - in case your sister falls into the tiger's mouth in Shanghai, you go and rescue her, at that time, newspapers and television across the country will publicize and report this moving story, and you Lu Baoliang will be famous for a lifetime!

Later, Baoliang knew that after his sister and Quan Hu ran away, they did go to Shanghai, and from Shanghai to Nanjing. They did not "fall into the mouth of the tiger", but migrated to and fro in different cities around Jianning, and their lives were quite harmonious.

The only discord between my sister and Quan Hu is about whether or not to run away from home in the first place. After leaving home for half a year, Quan Hu began to feel homesick, especially whenever the money on his credit card was about to run out, and someone would immediately inject new deposits into the card, his will and emotions were subjected to an invisible **. The moment he first found out that the money on the card had suddenly risen back, Quan Hu knew that his father had forgiven him. He began to plan a return trip with his sister, but her sister was reluctant. At that time, my sister was about to give birth, and she was afraid to go back and see her father's stern face. She has made a vow to her family that she will never look back, and she hopes that Quan Hu can take her to the peaceful world of two people and give birth to a child safely.

Renting a house in Nanjing is very cheap, which is the main reason why they left Shanghai later. They rented a two-bedroom apartment on the shore of Xuanwu Lake, and gave birth to their child in a hospital not far from this apartment. Before the child was born, the name was already good, called Quan Lei, and the nickname was Lei Lei, which was both catchy and powerful. Judging from the literal strokes, it can also be regarded as rain and dew, auspicious and rich. If you give birth to a girl, add a cursive prefix to the word thunder and turn it into a bud. The abundance of vegetation in the fields after the rain is also extraordinary.

Blessed is the family, it's a boy!

On the day his sister gave birth to her son, Quan Hu was so excited that he finally turned his sister's back and dialed his father's phone. Although he heard the voice on the phone, although the anger still subsided, the familiar hoarseness still made Quan Hu feel extremely amiable. He said Dad, I'm Quan Hu, I miss you. The hoarse voice pretended to be cold: You still know to call back, I thought you really had the backbone to carry it to the end. Quan Hu said: Dad, I'm in Nanjing, Bao Zhen gave birth to a boy, we named him Quan Lei, do you think it's okay?

A week later, Quan Sangun suddenly came to Nanjing. He rented a luxury apartment for Quan Hu and his sister, and also hired a nanny for them. When the child was full moon, Quan Hu took his sister and their child back to Jianning together.

It's really a chicken to marry a dog to a dog, my sister and Quan Hu live together, what to do and what not to do, basically Quan Hu has the idea. The elder sister only valued the mother and the son when she was about to give birth, and was favored in every way, and usually had no opinion or any authority. After the birth of the child, Quan Hu decided to go home, saying that he would rush back to attend his father's 55th birthday party, and his sister could only hold the child and embark on the journey home with trepidation.

On the day my sister returned to Jianning, it was the fifty-fifth birthday of the second uncle, and the largest hall that could accommodate 200 people to eat at the same time in the Million Mansion Restaurant was decorated with lights from the morning. The second uncle talked to his father on the phone, told him the news of his sister's return, and asked him to come over for a drink and fun in the evening. The father wished the second uncle a happy birthday on the phone, but said that he was not feeling well and could not accompany him at night. The second uncle guessed that his father was still worried about his children's marriage, so he put down the phone and asked Quan Hu to take his sister and their children home to visit his father. My father was actually not sick that day, but when he saw his sister coming home, he immediately lay down**. As soon as his mother happily took Quan Hu and his sister into his father's bedroom, his father pretended to be sick and coughed repeatedly, and his mother went to beat him for a long time before it calmed down a little. My sister shouted with a smile on her face: Dad. The father began to cough again, but there was no response.

My sister said, "Dad, Quan Hu and I came back to see you, I gave birth to a grandson for you, and I also saw you come." ”

Before the father could answer, the child suddenly woke up and cried, and the mother went over to help the sister coax the child, and everyone's attention was attracted to the child. Bao Liang peeked at his father and found that his father was sitting on the bed and did not move, but when he looked at the child's eyes, he was focused and confused, and he couldn't tell whether he was in love or disgust. When the child's crying stopped, the father slowly spoke:

"Baozhen, you stay, I'll say a few words to you alone."

Mother looked at her father, and then at Quan Hu, even Bao Liang could feel it, and his father always ignored Quan Hu, which was a little unreasonable and not very polite. In any case, Quan Hu is also the de facto son-in-law of the Lu family, and the legal father of the new grandson of the Lu family. Because of this child, Quan Hu also has an unchangeable connection with the Lu family in terms of blood.

Bao Liang could see that Quan Hu was embarrassed and a little unhappy, took the child from his mother's hands, turned his face and walked out of his father's bedroom.

The father said to Bao Liang again, "Bao Liang, you and your mother should also go out for a while." ”

The mother didn't dare to disobey and pulled Baoliang out of the house.

Only my sister and father were left in the bedroom.

The father said to his sister: "Baozhen, after you leave, your father is so sick that you don't look good, do you still have parents in your heart as a daughter?" ”

My sister said: "Yes, I have been out for most of the year, and I have been thinking about you and my mother every day, but I dare not come back, I am afraid that you will scold me when I come back, and I am afraid that you will be angry again." ”

My father said, "If you don't even care about your parents, let alone your neighbors, everyone will scold you wherever you go in the future." Our Lu family has your younger brother, so I don't ask you how good you are, I just ask you to be a daughter, to be a person, to be filial piety first, your father's request is not too much, right? ”

My sister's voice lowered along with her gaze: "But." ”

The father said, "I am glad that you can come back today, that you can come back to see me." Today Dad only asks you for one thing, I hope you can say yes. You are at home with your father today, your father is not feeling well, you are a daughter to do your filial piety in front of bed, isn't it an exaggeration? Quan Hu, you let him go back first, if he is willing to take the child away today, he will take it away, if he is willing to stay with us, he will stay, and your mother can take care of it. As for what the two of you will do in the future, what will this child do in the future, you can let your father get better in a day or two, and then discuss it with you slowly, okay? ”

My sister raised her eyes, was stunned for a long time, and said, "Dad, today Quan Hu and his father have a birthday, and I have become someone's daughter-in-law, so I can't help but go over and take a picture." I'm going to take a picture tonight, and I'll come back when I'm done, and I'll come back to accompany you and listen to your enlightenment......"

The father didn't let his sister finish speaking, and immediately interrupted resolutely: "I just said, Dad begs you to stay at home today, so I beg you today!" If you agree, you still recognize me as your father and an obedient daughter. If you don't agree, you don't even agree to this request, you just don't care if you have my biological father or not, then you can take Quanhu's father as your own father. He has money, you recognize money as your father, I, the father who gave birth to you and raised you for more than 20 years, you don't have to care if I live or die! ”

My sister started crying, and she said, "Dad, it's not that I don't recognize you, it's that you don't recognize me." Ever since you knew that Quan Hu and I got along, you haven't said a word about hurting your daughter. Now that I'm a mother, you don't recognize Quan Hu, you don't recognize you as a grandson! It's not that I don't love you, it's that you don't love me at all! ”

The father's face was distorted, and his eyes suddenly turned red, not so much sadness, but resentment: "I don't love you? I don't love you? Sooner or later, you'll know how much heart Daddy for you! I'm going to ask you this sentence today, are you my daughter, are you from our Lu family? Yes, you just stay at home, wait a day or two and we'll have a good idea, and I won't stop you where you like to go. If you have to leave today, and I won't stop you, then you won't come back again!" ”

My sister couldn't cry, she knelt down and said, "Dad, I am your daughter, but now I am also the daughter-in-law of the family, I am sorry for you." With that, she slammed her head to her father, got up and walked out of the room. The mother outside the door stared nervously at the tears on her sister's face, and asked in a trembling voice, "What's wrong?" The sister cried and called "Mom", then took the child from Quan Hu's hand and said, "Go!" So he walked all the way out of the house.

The elder sister took her child and Quan Hu away, and the child was also the flesh and blood of her mother and Baoliang. The mother shouted: "Baozhen! Tears flowed uncontrollably, but when I heard my father in the bedroom, he didn't dare to let out his sorrow. Bao Liang stood at the door of the living room in a daze, he wanted to comfort his mother, he wanted to chase him out to say goodbye to his sister, and he thought that he should go into the house to see his father. At this moment when the six gods were without a master, Bao Liang found that he had suddenly grown up, and what was beating heavily in his chest was a heart of vicissitudes!

Baoliang didn't fall asleep that night, he tossed and turned in bed, longing to dream of the fire-breathing girl again. He longed to be attached to the arms of a goddess who was omnipotent in her skills, to be sheltered by her, to be caressed by her, to go with her, away from all worldliness. But Bao Liang looked at the roof of the black hole, and the goddess never came.

In the next room, my father and mother may have also had sleepless nights. Although her sister ran away from home more than half a year ago, what Bao Liang could feel was that this night was the real separation of relatives.

Early the next morning, my mother went out to buy soy milk under the pretext of going out, so she ran out and dialed my sister's mobile phone from the public phone at the entrance of the alley, but my sister's mobile phone was turned off. The mother hesitated for a moment and dialed Quan Hu's phone again, and Quan Hu's mobile phone was also turned off. Mother went home and quietly asked Bao Liang, who was about to go out to school, and Bao Liang said: The second uncle had a birthday yesterday, maybe they all slept late, so they wouldn't get up so early. Mother breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought your sister really ignored us."

During the day, my father also went out, and I didn't know whether to go to work or run errands, so I grabbed a leather bag and limped out of the alley. When it was almost noon, my mother dialed my sister's mobile phone again, but the mobile phone was still off, and Quan Hu's mobile phone was still off. The mother found Kwon Samgun's phone number in the phone book at home, dialed it, and turned it off. The mother was relieved and hesitated for a long time. Finally dialed the second uncle's phone. No one answered the phone in the second uncle's office and at home. The mother panicked, and there was nothing to do, and she was not even in the mood to boil water for cooking.

In the evening, Bao Liang and his father went home almost together. His father's face was still not good, he didn't interrogate Bao Liang about his academic performance as usual, nor did he ask his mother if the meal was ready, he sat down at the dining table in the living room, called his mother, and called Bao Liang, and asked them all to come and sit down together. He said sit down, I have something to say.

Mother sat down.

Bao Liang also sat down with his school bag on his back.

The father said, "There is something I want to tell you." My second brother, that is, Baoliang's second uncle, was suspected of illegal fund-raising and underworld crimes, and was arrested by the public security organs in accordance with the law last night. Last night, the public security organs arrested all the main members of the Million Company. This is a big case, and it is not clear whether Quan Hu was involved. But now that he and Baozhen are both controlled by the public security organs, it is difficult to say what will happen next. As Baozhen's father, I have done everything I should have done for more than half a year. What will happen to Baozhen in the future, let it be fate. ”

The mother was stunned, and even crying was choked. Bao Liang was also stunned, at that moment his mind quickly flashed countless fragments of pictures, although they were not connected into a clear line, but the inside story of the whole incident could be faintly revealed!

That night, Bao Liang vaguely heard his mother crying quietly in the kitchen next door, and Bao Liang was also crying quietly in the bed. He didn't know if his father would be able to sleep peacefully in the bedroom next door on the other side. My father didn't go over to persuade my mother, and neither did Bao Liang. Although Bao Liang is naïve, he knows that everything is irreparable.

The next day, my mother made breakfast as usual, and my father sat down at the table, drank half a mouthful of gruel, and was in a daze for a while, then got up and went out early, not knowing where he went. On this day, the mother did nothing but was alone in the house in a daze. When his father came back in the evening, he carried a beautiful paper bag, which was the special paper bag for the most upscale Great World shopping mall in Jianning, and he put the paper bag next to his mother, who was pretending to clean up the table, and he didn't say anything, and then turned around and walked back to his bedroom. Bao Liang opened the paper bag for his mother, and inside was a delicate shoebox with a pair of exquisite women's leather shoes, the exact size of which was the same as his mother's. This is the first time that Bao Liang remembers that his father took the initiative to buy something for his mother, but his expression was not festive, but deeply apologetic. Bao Liang said: Mom, this is what Dad bought for you. The mother did not speak. Bao Liang said again: Mom, do you want to try? The mother still did not speak, did not even glance at the pair of shoes that looked quite expensive, but continued to wipe the table mechanically.

Not long after, my mother went to the Great World Mall to return the pair of leather shoes and exchanged them for a pair of Nike sneakers for Baoliang. Nike-brand sneakers Baoliang has always wanted to have them, and he has negotiated with his father several times, but has not been able to get his wish.

Not long after, Jianning's TV news broadcast a live report of the second uncle's arrest. Bao Liang was almost stupid, and in the TV screen, a large number of heavily armed armed police soldiers and public security officers surrounded the million-dollar mansion. In the hall where the second uncle celebrated his birthday, all the people attending the banquet held their heads in their hands, and squatted under the pressure of the armed police. The TV camera swept over Kwon Sam-gun and Kwon Ho's faces, as well as some other familiar faces of Baoliang. Those faces are either calm or frustrating or dusty...... The footage of the second uncle being escorted into the police car is the final end of this news, and only one side is taken on one side, and I can't see what kind of face the second uncle, who has always been bold and majestic, at this time.

On TV, my sister did not appear. Although her father said that she was also present when the public security armed police took action in the million-dollar mansion.

Soon after, one day my father came back from outside and hurriedly said, "We have to get out of here, let's move." ”

The mother asked, "Moving, where are you going?" ”

The father did not speak, but when he entered the bedroom, he took out all the books in the bookcase, and he called out to Bao Liang: "Bao Liang, go and bring the cardboard boxes in the storeroom!" ”

After a long time, Bao Liang fully understood that his father resigned from the public security school and went to the sea to engage in business in a million-dollar company just for the arrival of this day. The public security organs have long been aware of the signs of a criminal organization in the Million Company, but they have no strong evidence. The upper and lower backbones of the million company are all cronies of the second uncle, which can be regarded as an ironclad piece. When the state financial management authority asked the public security department to investigate the illegal fund-raising of the million-dollar company, the Jianning Public Security Bureau decided to combine the two cases into one, and mobilized the veteran criminal investigation cadre Lu Weiguo to use his relationship with the second uncle to break into the million-dollar company to collect evidence. Bao Liang can still remember that the first person who came to explain this task to his father must have been his uncle. He can even remember that a few days before and after entering the million-dollar company, his father's face was gloomy every day, after all, the second uncle was the elder brother he recognized decades ago, and the relationship between the two had always been not thin. But after all, my father has been trained in ideology and discipline by the police for many years, not to mention that the military orders are like mountains and the national law is unshakable, so my father can only accept the task and go to danger alone.

After a long time, my father said that as early as 10 months before the final collapse of the Million Company, the public security organs decided to close the case. The plan and time for the arrest of the second uncle and his comrades have been determined, and all the evidentiary materials and the report on the application for arrest have been submitted to the procuratorial organs for approval. The police force for the arrest operation has also entered the state, and the order is imminent. My sister was at that juncture, she made her relationship public, and asked to marry Quan Hu, and her father had to trick her sister into house arrest in the provincial capital with the assistance of her uncle. Unexpectedly, when the procuratorate examined the materials for approving the arrest, it believed that the evidence provided by the investigation and case-handling department was still one-sided, and that once they encountered resistance during the interrogation and in court, it might not be able to fully confirm the accusations against them. Then there was a scene where my sister jumped off the building and fled back to Jianning, and a series of unexpected and uncontrollable events occurred such as my sister and Quan Hu's secret marriage and running away from home.

The father can't control all this, because he can't say the real reason why he opposes this family business, he can't tell his daughter that this family business will bring her a lifetime of trouble and sorrow, he can only use a series of seemingly unkind excuses to "rudely" his daughter's freedom to marry, trying to prevent the occurrence and development of this tragedy, but to no avail. Not only did it not work, but it also completely deteriorated his relationship with his sister and alienated their feelings. My sister, like my father, can endure everything outside, but at home, my self-esteem is so strong that it cannot be violated.

Ten months later, tragedy returned. It couldn't be more coincidental, the public security organs relied on his father's efforts, and finally the human and material evidence was complete, and with the approval of the procuratorate, it was decided to take them down in one fell swoop when the second uncle was 55 years old. Just when the arrest operation was about to be launched and had to be sent, my sister took the child she shouldn't have given birth to and appeared between her father and her second uncle!

When Bao Liang moved out of the alley where he had lived for many years with his parents, the leaves on the street had not yet had time to turn yellow.

Not only did they move out of the big but old house, and the short but narrow alley, but also, what Bao Liang didn't expect, they actually moved out of him and his parents, and their Lu family, who had been born and raised for generations, until they died of old age, and moved to the provincial capital hundreds of miles away.

When the family was finally pulled to the train station, only one truck was loaded, and all the dilapidated and outdated tables, chairs, and cabinets were disposed of, and only my father's books and clothes and bedding for the whole family were taken away. The computer that Quan Hu gave to Baoliang was not taken away, and his father handed it over to the public security organs as stolen goods.

My father left his hometown, but returned to the police again. The detection of the power crime syndicate brought medals and glory to his father. Maybe my father didn't expect that after he became a cripple, after he left the front line of criminal investigation work and went to work in a school like an early retirement, he could turn over and become a reconnaissance hero, and won a first-class meritorious service medal that no one in the entire Jianning Criminal Investigation Brigade had, and was ceremoniously received by provincial and municipal leaders and officials of the Ministry of Public Security. His deeds have also been widely disseminated within the public security organs, and in addition to printing and distributing materials on his deeds, he has also organized report meetings to tour public security organs at all levels in the prefecture and city. Considering his father's physical condition, the organization did not agree that he should return to the criminal investigation department to continue working, but assigned him to the Provincial Public Security Academy, gave him the title of vice president, and arranged more time for him to treat, recuperate, and rest. My father is also fifty-five years old, and according to his physical condition, if it weren't for the great achievements he made this time, he would have been able to go through the internal withdrawal procedures.

The new home of the Bao Liang family, which was the dormitory assigned to his father by the Provincial Public Security College, was a small courtyard that had just been built, larger than the one in Jianning, and had everything from gas heating and 24-hour hot water. The decoration of the house is also very exquisite, and the furniture is also newly bought in the provincial capital. This yard is the same as their life, everything is new. Behind this cluster of new courtyards, there are thousands of acres of green shade in Yunling Park, and it is not far from the door, and it is a downtown with convenient life, and all kinds of shops are readily available.

In the bustling provincial capital, in this famous city, Bao Liang has such a comfortable and convenient home. Bao Liang was very excited and wanted to let Li Chen and Liu Cunliang come as guests immediately, but he didn't see a trace of a smile on his mother's face. He also knew that such a family was obtained by his father's merits, and his father's merits came at the cost of the destruction of his sister and the separation of his relatives.

Also because of his father's merits, Baoliang's transfer was also taken care of by the relevant parties, and he was arranged to enter a key middle school in the provincial capital. Bao Liang soon became accustomed to everything in the provincial city like a real urban child. Although there is no "Jianning Sanxiong", it is inevitable that he will be a little lonely and lonely after school every day, but there are many things that can be enjoyed in the new life.

My sister has not been heard from and has never returned home.

The case of the second uncle is indeed very famous, and after Baoliang moved to the provincial capital, he also watched two follow-up reports about this case on TV. When the picture of the second uncle appeared on the screen, the father got up and walked back to his bedroom, he probably didn't want to see the second uncle become so gray overnight. The second uncle stood in the middle of a large row of prisoners, standing in the dock of the courtroom, and under the hostage of the two tall bailiffs behind him, he looked trivial and thin. He listened to the prosecutor read out the charges with dull features, and the large row of prisoners in yellow vests, whether their faces were familiar or unfamiliar, made Bao Liang experience the vicissitudes of the world for the first time......

It can be seen from the newspaper and television reports that the problems of the second uncle and his gang being exposed are more and more and bigger. Many ** officials were also involved and fell one after another. This case became the number one major anti-crime and anti-corruption case in the province at that time, and became a focus of people's street discussions.

Bao Liang's sister and brother-in-law Quan Hu were actually released by the public security organs long before Bao Liang moved with his parents. Before they were released from surveillance, their father asked Uncle Yu to accompany him, and he also went to his sister's place of residential surveillance to see her sister once, persuaded her to divorce, and persuaded her to go home. It's okay for you to bring the child, or leave it for Quan Hu. My father persuaded my sister and said: Your mother and brother miss you very much, and we are still a family when you come back. In the future, my father will move to the provincial capital, and there are many excellent young men in the provincial capital, and it should not be difficult to find someone who is thoughtful and educated.

My father kept saying that my sister was silent. Not only was my sister silent, but she didn't even look at her father.

The father finally said, "Baozhen, let me ask you again, will you go home or not?" ”

My sister still didn't answer.

The father said, "I ask one last time, will you go home?" ”

My sister twisted her head, didn't look at her father, and didn't say a word.

Father got up and walked out of the room.

It is said that after the sister and Quan Hu were released from residential surveillance, they left together with their children. Of course, they must have left Jianning.

There is no evidence that they were involved in the crime of Erbo's gang.

They may not know whose hands the second uncle is planted in.

In the year when Bao Liang was admitted to high school, the newspaper announced the results of the trial of Erbo's gang crimes, and after the first and final trials of the Jianning Intermediate People's Court and the Provincial High Court, it was found that Erboquan and other people involved in the case totaled 34 people, guilty of financial fraud, smuggling, tax evasion and tax fraud, organizing, leading, and participating in underworld organizations, intentional injury, intimidation and extortion, bribery, forced transactions, and possession of firearms and ammunition.

Justice and evil, family affection and love, love and law, loyalty and betrayal, this war of soul fighting, has come to an end.

After that, Ho Liang and his parents started a new life in their cozy yard. The new life is both calm and peaceful, but also a little depressing, a little inexplicably boring and dull.

His father goes to and from work every day, Bao Liang goes to and from school every day, and his mother goes to the street every day to buy vegetables and cook at home, and life starts again and again every day. But Bao Liang could see that his father and mother's hearts were not so sincere.

After a while, my father finally returned to loneliness. The job at the Public Security Academy was not his ideal in life, and he could not rejuvenate his fighting spirit. Bao Liang didn't know what his father looked like when he went to work, and his father's state when he came home from work looked old, and only when he taught and admonished Bao Liang before and after meals, his father's eyes could occasionally flash a trace of agitation. He kept repeating the same sentence: Baoliang, I told Dean Liu of our college that as long as your college entrance examination score passes the line, the college will definitely accept you. Dad has paved the way for you, you must work harder yourself!

There is another sentence that my father often says: Baoliang, my father has been in the police for so many years, and he has received awards for meritorious service, and everyone treats his father as a hero. We have no dogs in Humen, you must surpass Dad!

My sister is gone, and my father's hopes are more focused on Baoliang. What my sister left to her father was only heartache. Father wants to find his smile back on Bao Liang.

After moving to the provincial capital, the first thing his father bought for Baoliang was a computer, which was not much worse than the one that Quanhu gave to Baoliang. As long as it is Bao Liang's learning needs, his father always tries to meet them. What's more, computers were originally something that Baoliang once had.

At home, the father did not allow Baoliang or the mother to mention the past, and they were not even allowed to mention the name of their sister. But my father himself sometimes mentions that his sister is to blame!

In fact, Bao Liang knows that his sister is a mountain that presses on his father's heart.

Bao Liang later thought, after his father became famous, didn't he have a little hidden pain of heroic shortness of breath? Will he think of the second uncle? The second uncle is his brother who kowtowed when he was young, and they once held a bowl of chicken blood wine and made a solemn oath: they can't be born on the same day, but they wish to die on the same day, share blessings and hardships. But a few decades later, the second uncle died at the hands of his father, and the second uncle's son Quan Hu did not know where he was gone, including his sister, who had become the second uncle's daughter-in-law.

If it is said that my sister is a big mountain in the hearts of everyone in the Lu family, then this mountain has bent my mother's back. If my father's physical condition remained unchanged after moving to the provincial capital, then my mother suddenly became sick and weak. My mother suffered from depression, rheumatism, and asthma, and her appearance suddenly became older and duller than her father. My mother could barely hear her voice at home, except for washing and cooking.

The mother's silence completely suppressed the family, and the hardest thing to bear was not Baoliang, but the father of the head of the family. Because there is still a few words between his mother and Baoliang, and between him and his father, he rarely even passes his eyes, and when the meal is ready, he also asks Baoliang to call his father: Tell your father to eat. In Bao Liang's absence, his mother put the meal on the table so that his father could see him sitting down to eat. The father wants to ask: Why don't you eat? The mother said, "Don't be hungry." Or just say: I ate it in the kitchen. After moving to the provincial capital, my father often bought some clothes or other gifts for my mother during the New Year's holidays, or my mother's birthday, or my mother's birthday. But later it turned out that the mother had never worn those clothes, and the supplements had been until the expiration date. Later, my father stopped buying it.

Often, when my father was away, my mother would restrain her asthma and say to Bao Liang: Bao Liang, can you help my mother find your sister, your sister has loved you since she was a child.

Bao Liang said: I know.

But where did Bao Liang go to find it?

One day, it was not a festival or a new year, and my mother put on the earrings she had brought from her mother's house very abnormally early in the morning. Before going to work, my father asked strangely: I'm so old, why do I love to dress up today? Mother said: I haven't worn it for a long time, wear it and take a look. The father said, "What about that one, why do you only wear it on one side?" The mother said, "I can't find that one." The father said, "Can't find it?" Look for it again, don't lose it if it's expensive. Mother said, "Oh."

Father is gone. Mother looked at Bao Liang, who was staring at her, touched the earrings on her ears with her hand, and said, "Today is your sister's birthday."

That night, when my father came home and the family was having dinner, Bao Liang suddenly said, "Dad, today is my sister's birthday." ”

The father was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head to eat again. Bao Liang looked at his mother, who obviously didn't expect Bao Liang to say this, and was uneasy with the bowl.

After a while, his father opened his mouth and asked his mother, "Baozhen...... Isn't it twenty-four this year? ”

The mother could not answer, but tears were already hanging down her cheeks, she wiped them with a handkerchief, and then got up and went to the kitchen. The mother went into the kitchen and did not cry.

The father looked at the mother's back and did not reproach. He looked at Bao Liang, who was stunned, and said, "Eat!" ”

But he looked at the food on the table himself, and he didn't seem to want to swallow it. He calmed his voice and said to Baoliang: "Your sister doesn't recognize us, what can we do." After a pause, my father said, "A while ago, I asked Uncle Yu from the Jianning Public Security Bureau to help find her. Didn't find it. She is long gone in Jianning. ”

His father actually asked someone to find his sister, which Baoliang didn't expect. Bao Liang raised his eyes to look at his father, and his father immediately turned the topic to Bao Liang:

"Baoliang, your sister wants to take this path, and I can't help it, I'm a father, and I've done my best. Now Dad only has you as a child, and you are a boy, Dad will not ask you to be promoted and make a fortune in the future, as long as you can inherit your father's business, let everyone see that the son of our Lu family is better and more promising than his father! Dad has a first-class meritorious service, and you have to make two and three. You have to practice like your Uncle Yu, you have to be literate, you have to be martial! Dad can't do it on the front line of reconnaissance himself, if you are trained to be a person who can do it on the front line, Dad will die blindly! ”

This large number of words is familiar to Bao Liang, and his ears are calloused. But his father's eyes turned red again as he spoke, and Bao Liang could only look serious, nod solemnly, and make a look of deep understanding and understanding.

The father asked, "Do you understand?" ”

Bao Liang replied: "I understand." ”

The closer to the age of the public security academy, the more confident Bao Liang's sentence of "I understand", the more confident he is.

Bao Liang transferred from Jianning, and his academic performance was at the level of this key middle school in the provincial capital, which was medium or low. Whether he can be admitted to the Provincial Public Security College is completely uncertain. Although his father's entrustment and hope are always synonymous, if he talks too much, it will form a huge psychological pressure, and every time Bao Liang thinks of it, he can't help but tremble.

He even began to envy Li Chen and Liu Cunliang.

Li Chen and Liu Cunliang were not admitted to high school, and they relied on their family connections to find a secondary school to go to school, one to learn tourism services, the other to learn car maintenance, and they were also listless. But at least they don't have the heavy pressure of going to university, they don't have to carry the family ideals of Yaozu Guangzong, and in the future, they will earn money to eat with their strength or skills, and what's wrong with being competent and happy for a lifetime?
