Chapter 47: The Pink Ticket (Part 3)
In the war-torn era, it was not easy to live peacefully.
Chen Er only remembered that when he was very young, his grandfather used to say it to him.
Grandpa and Grandma died of stray bullets, and when they died, they didn't have time to explain their last words.
Grandpa is also very young, and he has no memory at all.
After the death of the great-grandfather and great-grandmother, the grandfather was adopted by a farming family.
Even the bodies of the two old men were collected and buried with the help of the farmer's family.
Grandpa joined the army when he was a teenager, and he injured his leg on the battlefield and had difficulty moving, so he changed to a logistics officer.
When Chen Er was a child, his grandfather liked to drag a bench to sit in the yard, and then tell Chen Er about those things that were old and vaguely remembered.
He said that when Grandpa Chen and Grandma died, they actually had two friends around them.
But people go to tea and cool, let alone people die.
As soon as Grandpa and Grandma died, those two people disappeared immediately, for fear that Grandpa, an extra child, would bring them financial pressure.
Grandpa and grandma originally came to Shuzhong to escape the war, and they were not familiar with life here, and when they died, grandpa was a half-grown milk child.
If it weren't for the farmer's blindness, Grandpa would have starved to death.
Grandpa said these words without anger, only endless warmth.
Chen Er knew that it was his grandfather who was nostalgic for the farmer who had adopted him.
Unfortunately, the family had already died in the fighting, and even the body was not found.
That's why Grandpa joined the army.
For the two friends who disappeared for no reason, grandpa and grandma didn't want to pay attention to it at all.
Sometimes, when grandpa drank too much wine, he would whisper to Chen Er.
"Actually, your grandfather and I used to be rich people......
Often at this time, Chen Er will ask his grandfather, "Didn't you say that grandpa was still young at that time, how could you still remember whether you were rich or not?" ”
At this time, Chen Er clearly realized where his thick-skinned gene came from.
Grandpa's tone was a little drunk, but his eyes were extremely sober.
"I feel it! I feel it! ”
Grandpa told Chen, "It was the people who helped bury your grandfather and grandmother who told me ......."
"They said that at that time, your grandfather and grandmother were accompanied by a servant who was specially used to take care of me, but I was always in the maid's arms at that time, and my feet never touched the ground."
When Chen Er heard this, he secretly complained in his heart, no wonder his grandfather's farm work was a mess......
Grandpa has completely fallen into the memory.
"At that time, I was young, and the farmer who adopted me had many children, and they were so poor that they didn't have a meal."
"They have no choice, so they take off the bracelet on your grandmother's hand and sell it to the wife of a warlord leader......"
Chen Er immediately became interested when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "How much did it cost?" ”
Grandpa smiled with a mysterious smile and stretched out three fingers.
Chen Er scratched the back of his head and asked, "Three yuan?" ”
Grandpa slammed his fist on Chen'er's head.
"It's not promising!"
"It's three little yellow croaker!"
Chen Er was even more confused, what do the three little yellow croakers mean?
However, often at this time, the grandfather gets drunk and drowsy and never tells stories again.
Chen Er didn't have time to ask his grandfather if the servant had run away after seeing his grandfather and grandmother die together.
Chen Er pulled his thoughts away from the memory.
Then stared at the two tombstones in front of him in a daze.
Suddenly, he discovered something.
Although the grave is overgrown with weeds, the two tombstones are very clean.
It still looks dilapidated, but there is not a trace of dust or stains.
Chen Er remembers clearly that he hadn't come back to sweep the grave for a long time.
Just now, he just pulled out the weeds and didn't do anything else.
Chen Er stared at the tombstone earnestly.
There are no names engraved on the tombstones.
Only Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen are engraved.
Because grandpa and grandma are outsiders who have just arrived here, they don't know many people.
Everyone only knows their surname Chen, and the others don't know.
So when the tombstone was carved, only the surname was engraved.
Chen Er reached out and touched the tombstone and gently rubbed it twice.
Then put your palm in front of you and look at it.
It's as clean as new, without a speck of dust.
Chen Er's gaze suddenly became very calm.
Someone has been here.
Who will it be? Do you know your grandfather and grandmother who have passed away?
Chen Er stood up and looked around, his gaze fluttering on the bushes in the distance.
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head, as if he was denying something.
Then he exhaled.
Pick up the soup on the ground and drink it all.
"When you're done, I'll drink too."
Chen Er drank six bowls of soup and walked down the mountain with a stomach full of water.
Not long after he left, a young woman in a black leather dress emerged from a bush.
The woman patted her chest gently.
Exhaled and came out, "I was scared to death, I thought I was found again." ”
Then he regained his confidence and walked down the hill with his head held high.
When Chen Er returned to the village, he knocked on the door of his neighbors and gave them some souvenirs he had brought from abroad.
"Are there any strange people in the village these days?"
The neighbor's husband and wife thought carefully for a long time, then shook their heads.
The kid who was eating chocolate jumped up.
"I know! I know! ”
Chen Er turned his gaze to him.
The child opened his mouth full of chocolates and said indistinctly, "A few days ago, an old man who looked very rich gave me a red ticket and asked me to take him to the cemetery at the head of the village. ”
Chen Er nodded, smiling and touching the child's hair.
"How old is that old man?"
The child thought about it carefully, "Similar to my grandfather......
That's about seventy or eighty years old.
As soon as Chen Er counted his age, he had a measure in his heart.
Then he asked, "Did he come by car?" ”
The child nodded vigorously, "Yes, black Daben!" The license plate is amazing! There are several 6s! ”
Black Mercedes, the license plate is a string of 6 again.
Such a car can be said to be very conspicuous.
Chen Er asked someone to inquire about it, and he inquired.
The owner of the car has not yet left Shuzhong, and is in a five-star hotel.
After spending some money, Chen Er learned the man's name from the doorman who parked the car, and then asked for more information.
So, the next day, Chen Er appeared in the restaurant of this five-star hotel.
He ordered something casually and flipped through the newspaper in his hand while waiting for the man to appear.
In a few moments, he saw the man he was looking for.
This man was older than the neighbor kid described.
He looked like a dying man, in a wheelchair, and someone next to him was holding a bottle of nutrition for him with a drip.
The old man was curled up in a wheelchair, his skin wrinkled like the bark of a dried old tree.
Occasionally barely raised his hand, and if he wanted to say two words, he had to put his ear to his mouth to hear it clearly.
Chen Er was stunned, and then remembered the grandfather of the neighbor's child, who could pick up dung and sprinkle water.
Where is it like the old man in front of you?
No wonder the neighborhood kids keep emphasizing pink tickets.
It seems that he is all focused on the pink ticket!
