This New Year's month, it seems that since they made a big fuss in their ancestral home, the weather has become gloomy, with drizzle and wind from time to time, which has diluted the red and jubilant flavor of the New Year.

Although there was such a fuss, I didn't see any reprimands for anyone, and the grandfather easily turned the page.

Hua Pingjin is still the appearance that his father doesn't love his mother, and he can see the loneliness.

However, one wave has not settled, and one wave has risen again, but Xu Hejin is the only one involved.

Listening to his mother, Xu Hejin reached out and asked his grandfather for a sum of money, saying that he was buying a motorcycle.

Hua Lin can't believe it at all, such a big person, an adult, buy a motorcycle and ask your grandfather in his seventies and eighties?

But when Hua Lin bumped into the scene of Xu Hejin and his grandfather arguing about buying a motorcycle in the ancestral house, she couldn't believe it or not.

When the quarrel was particularly fierce, Xu Hejin pushed open the door and walked out, and even left such a sentence as he walked:

"When I ask you to give some money now, you don't give it, and don't write my name on your tombstone in the future!"

Xu Hejin walked with the wind, and as soon as the words fell, the figure disappeared.

And Hua Lin couldn't believe his ears, there was such an unsuccessful and brazen person in this world?

Soon, the phone rang in the house.

Grandpa answered the phone, Hua Lin inadvertently became a person who listened to the root of the wall, this caller should be very status, like grandpa's age, and there is still a little respect for the person on the other side of the phone, indicating that the other party is still talking, so Hua Lin is curious, and I want to hear who it is.

However, I can only hear Grandpa say unilaterally here:

"How can I give him what he wants?"

There are still people who help my uncle as a lobbyist?!

“… I've given them everything I can give, and I'm going to leave some for the old woman... Count on what they can't count on..."

…

"Take care of your health, brother and sister."

Hearing this last salutation, Hua Lin turned around and retreated away from the ancestral house.

A few days later, Hua Lin saw Xu Hejin full of spring breeze, so friendly that he kept shouting for Xiao Shuhuai to bring her the New Year goods in the room, these New Year goods were brought by him, and he didn't take them out to eat when he watched the Spring Festival Gala on Chinese New Year's Eve, and suddenly generously made it clear that something was going according to his wishes.

Hua Lin on the surface, he dislikes it in his heart, and he doesn't care about what they give, and he would rather go back to the room and be in a daze with mathematics, physics and chemistry that can't write than to face this unprincipled adult, and he doesn't want to be angry at the cute and poor little Shuhuai for no reason.

No wonder Hua Lin laughed in her heart, she used to look down on her father more or less, and now she looks down on the Xu family, the so-called adults, naïve, selfish, and irresponsible.

She had to say that at the very least, her father was still upright.

Since she was a child, her father has taught her, "You can't take other people's things, if you see others eating, you should leave your head aside, and you must be ambitious." ”

Of course, her father also said: "If you want something, just tell your father, and your father will pay for it." ”

Her father's promise really hasn't been fulfilled, her family has been receiving all kinds of relief from her aunt for so many years, her father is just shouting some false slogans, but that kind of concept is more or less rooted and growing in the values of Hua Lone.

In the past few days, she not only saw Xu Hejin come to her grandfather to ask for money to buy that motorcycle, but she also saw her eldest brother Xu Menghua come to her grandfather early one morning, go straight to the topic, and reach out to ask for money, on the grounds that he was going to work in a distant city after the New Year, and wanted his grandfather to support a little travel expenses.

How much Hua Lin hoped that his grandfather would reject him, but Hua Lin was very disappointed.

Because grandpa didn't hesitate at all, he got up and took out a small box from the small cabinet, opened the wrapped cloth, took out the bright red yuan from it, and counted it to the eldest brother.

The big brother went next and left.

The eldest brother saw Hua Lin and saw everything, but it was just like he didn't see her, and he thought she was a transparent person, and left without saying a word.

Hua Lin really hopes that this scene will be seen by Xu Hejin, I don't know how Xu Hejin feels? I don't know if they'll make another fuss.

It's really funny and ironic, their big brother and little brother, left and right, guarding against the person in the middle who is not surnamed Hua, who knows how much oil and water they secretly stole behind each other's backs like rats.

When no one was around, Hua Lone's mother and father whispered in the room, and Hua Lone's mother also saw that Xu Hejin got the money he wanted to get, but she didn't understand why the old man didn't give it at the beginning, and why he finally gave it out.

Yuan Pingqing swallowed the melon seeds and said, "Your old man still has their son in his heart." If you want me to say that since you want to give it to you, is it a show for us? ”

"What kind of play? What is there to do. ”

Hua Lin found that whenever her father couldn't answer any questions, or wanted to avoid answering, he would ask rhetorical questions, especially when it came to his family.

"You must be making a show, you're really stupid, I'm afraid we'll ask him for money. Privately, it was given to the fourth. ”

"He gave my dad's money to whomever he wanted. I don't want my dad's money. ”

"I don't want to think about the old man. But do you find that no, whether it is the eldest or the fourth in your family, where are they short of money? Which one is better than us? They all reached out and asked for money, what are we pretending to be high? Do we really need money, do we need money to study, do we need money to take the university entrance examination in the future? ”

“… You wait until she can pass the test. ”

Apparently unwilling to discuss the issue, Father Blossom replaced the stove under Blossom's table with new carbon, and turned to go out.

Hua Lonely's mother, who was left to eat melon seeds, shook her head and sighed while eating melon seeds.

Hua Lin watched her father walk away before telling her mother what she had heard under the wall.

"It turns out that it's really her little aunt who is behind her."

The little aunt that Hua Lone's mother said is standing on their own generation, which is actually the younger brother family of Hua Lone's grandfather.

It's not surprising to say that it was an accident, in the early years, Yuan Pingqing felt that they were calculated and dealt with by their own brothers, someone must have fanned the flames and made suggestions, Yuan Pingqing felt that his uncle's family in the same city had a conspiracy and tricks, and he never believed it.

Even if you buy a motorcycle, you have to be a lobbyist, but you can imagine how close they are behind their backs, this kinship is not comparable at all, not to mention, people who do not live in the same city walk closer to each other than they live in a city.

Yuan Pingqing hated this big family more and more.

No matter how much she complains and is puzzled, she still respects her parents-in-law more, and she still misses their older generation for "sheltering" them back for the New Year.

If it weren't for her parents-in-law calling and calling them to come back and pave the steps, she wouldn't know how to face the scene where others openly and secretly accuse them of returning to a more remote place.

Probably, they are weak kindness, toothless and bladeless kindness.

A few days before returning to the city, the grandparents separated the others and suddenly called Yuan Pingqing into the ancestral house, and Hua Lin also followed.

At that time, it was mysterious, and both grandparents had serious expressions.

"You say, I'll go outside and watch." Grandpa walked out in a hurry.

"Grandpa, what about me?"

"Little flower, you stay."

Before Yuan Pingqing's mother and daughter could understand, her grandmother's seventy-year-old body actually climbed up to the "secret room" upstairs in their room.

To say that it is a secret room is not a secret, but that there is no real staircase.

It's all about a makeshift ladder.

Hua Lin didn't know that she could go up like this.

They watched in amazement as Grandma stabbed and went up.

Then I heard my grandmother's call: "Come up." ”

Yuan Pingqing stiffened his head, grabbed east and west, and climbed up cautiously.

Hua Lin was curious, and she wanted to go up and have a look.

It's not difficult to climb, it's rare to leave the stairs and climb into the upper layer in a huge air raid, Hua Lin is really a little afraid, she is afraid that it will be easy to go upstairs and difficult to go downstairs, she tossed and gave up, or it is safer and safer to do a reception downstairs.

But what are mom and grandma doing upstairs?

What is so important that grandpa has to break up the others, or even go outside to sentry?

Hua Lin pricked up his ears to listen, but he couldn't hear clearly.

The two mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law upstairs were obviously talking in low voices.

After a long time, when the two of them came down, Hua Lin clearly saw that her mother's eyes were moist and red, and there was nothing special about her empty hands.

But grandma's mood is completely different, no different from usual.

Mom didn't say anything, and led Hua Lin away.

As they walked, Grandpa also looked them up and down.

didn't go back to the room, Yuan Pingqing took Hua Lin out and walked outside, as if she wanted to avoid others, and as if she wanted to breathe herself.

Walking to the river, there was no one around, and Hua Lin finally couldn't help but ask what was going on.

Her mother sighed.

That's when I said:

"Just now, your grandmother took 70,000 yuan, cash, cash, flowers, cash."

"What? Here you go? To us? ”

"Well, she said to us."

"Who's meant? Why? ”

"It's also grandpa's meaning, saying that your father is also their son, but he doesn't have the surname Xu, and they can't protect what will happen in the future, so they want to give it to us in advance."

Hua Lonely pondered for a while, and felt that things were not so simple.

"You confiscated it, didn't you?"

"Nope. Two old people are so healthy, how can I ask for their money? We are poor, but I am not practical to sneak the old man's money like this. ”

"I thought you'd be happy to take it."

Yuan Pingqing's expression was complicated, she stroked her hair that was blown by the wind, and said, "How can you take it?" We all have hands and feet, and we don't earn anything for them, and now we will be punished by God for taking their pension money. Besides, we don't have the surname Xu in the first place. ”

"Then if you don't take it, what does grandma say?"

"Your grandmother also took out family heirlooms, several oceans, from the Kangxi era and the Qianlong period, and asked me to pick them, but I didn't take anything. — But the old man didn't say anything, and I didn't want her and I didn't have a hard plug. ”

Hua Lin felt that her mother was completely caught in an emotion of being cared for by herself, and she was moved by herself, but the problem was that this feeling was not mutual.

70,000 yuan, saying that it is an astronomical amount for their family, saying that it is impossible for their mother not to be moved, and a few days ago they were still talking about getting some benefits from the old man.

In a blink of an eye, 70,000 is in front of her, her mother can keep the bottom line, there is no hesitation, it is already a very real reaction, acting can't be so natural, but why can't Hua Lin feel any emotions from her grandmother at all?

Thinking about it, I heard my mother say again;

"Your grandmother said that the 70,000 yuan was saved by her grandfather for her retirement, and she was afraid that her grandfather would leave and there would be no salary, and she would have no money to live."

"Then why give it to us? Do you want us to provide for her next? Is the money for us, or is it put in our place in advance, or is it okay for us to use it, but grandma is in our house in the future? ”

Hua Lone's series of questions made her mother stunned.

"Mom, do you remember about a gold ring when I was a kid?"

Yuan Pingqing gradually came to her senses, and she also remembered that the gold ring, the gold ring that she still hid tightly, was also a gold ring related to her grandmother.
