Chapter 2 The Old Man Comes
I was really shocked when I saw this email, I've seen a lot of curses sent by some boring people, but this one person I don't know sent me an email calling my name and my grandfather's name, as he said, he just said this to make me believe what he said, he succeeded, I believed it.
I immediately made a phone call back to my dad and asked eagerly, "Dad, is my grandpa okay?" β
"It's okay, I just had dinner, what's wrong?" My dad said.
"Really? You didn't lie to me? I asked.
"Fault." Daddy hung up.
After hanging up the phone, I still can't calm down, it is also possible to report good news or not funeral, that is, sometimes the family members pass away and don't say it to the people outside, for fear of affecting their work and study or something, I am afraid that my father will lie to me for such a reason, so I quickly made a phone call to my little tiger and asked: "Huzi, have you seen my grandfather today?" β
"See, I saw him go to the mountains to open up the wasteland in the morning! Little three or two, I said that your grandfather is too diligent, right? Huzi said.
"You kid didn't lie to me?" I asked.
"Tricking you into eggs?" Huzi said.
I talked to him a few words, hung up the phone, I was scared when I saw this email just now, but now I'm a little angry, is this an email from someone who is more familiar with me? But where is the curse of familiar people, and my grandfather who is still in good health is dead? I replied to an email: "You're dead, your whole family is dead." "After replying, I clicked delete, this email is too ruinous to my mood.
Then three days later, I received a call from my father, who said to me in a very low voice: "Sanliang, come back, your grandfather is gone." β
I didn't even ask why the person who was fine three days ago is gone, I only know that when I was a child, he would hunch me around my neck, and kept telling me that I just need to study hard, and I don't need to be too reluctant, he has already told me that the old man who can't become a great writer is gone, and three days ago, he also went to open up the wasteland!
I held back tears all the way in the car and finally collapsed when I arrived at the door of the house, looking at the familiar door with a white couplet hanging on it, my family and neighbors supported me, and I looked at the old man in the hall and couldn't say a word, only full of sadness.
- As the only grandson, I put on filial piety clothes and kowtowed to everyone who came to offer incense to my grandfather, and for the first two days of my grandfather's death at home, my brain was blank, and my mind was full of my grandfather's shadow, and in my memory, this old man seemed to have been very stubborn and strong, and he could only laugh.
The village is not so poor under the development of these years, but it is still an ordinary village, everyone will no longer rely on one acre and three points of land for a living, and most villages in China rely on going out to work as the main business, so the village is only well-off.
But the day after my grandfather passed away, a convoy suddenly came on the road in the countryside, which attracted everyone to see, and finally this convoy stood at my doorstep, because my grandfather was a feng shui gentleman, and some bosses would drive over to invite him before, and everyone was not surprised when he really stopped at my doorstep.
But when I saw it, I was still taken aback, the folks in the countryside may only know some Hyundai Honda logos, these car logos may not be understood so they are not surprised, this team of seven cars, the first is a Land Rover, the last two are all Mercedes-Benz.
A person got out of the first car, looking unusually tall and very imposing, exuding a special charm of a middle-aged man all over his body, after he got out of the car, people came down one after another on the back car, this person walked in front, and the people behind stood in two rows, the middle-aged man became the protagonist, this time I was even more surprised, the person on the back of the Mercedes-Benz turned out to be the bodyguard of this middle-aged man, and this scene, I have only seen it in gangster films in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
According to the rules, as long as it is a person who comes to mourn, no matter who it is, I have to kowtow, although I don't know this person, but I still knelt down and handed over three incense sticks, this person didn't speak, his unique temperament and the invisible pressure brought by that group of bodyguards made everyone present quiet, and the people of the suona team stopped blowing suona and looked at the core of this crowd.
He didn't say a word, took the incense path and knelt down on my grandfather's body, kowtowed three times, these three rings were very loud, and the people next to him kept blinking, and the heavier the ringing head, the more respect and nostalgia for a person.
In my mind, the identity of this person is a rich boss that my grandfather may have helped, and I am still wondering, how much kindness is it that he kowtows so much?
This man looked up, blood was already oozing from his forehead, he took out a neat stack of things wrapped in newspaper, put them in my father's hand, and said, "Mourning is good and buried." β
The thing wrapped in newspaper is a stack of money, and the number should be one or two thousand, I am not too surprised, this money may be a lot for the people of the lock village, but it is not much for such a boss.
Daddy took the money, saluted the boss back, and when he looked up, he said to him, "This gentleman, please leave your name." β
And at this time, the boss suddenly took out something from the inside pocket of his suit, I looked over and found that it was a wooden short sword, and I was startled, why did he take out this thing on such an occasion?
I wanted to protect my father, but at this time, I saw that my father's face turned pale without a little blood at that moment, and his whole body was almost trembling and stretched out his hand to touch the very funny and childish wooden sword.
The boss let go, and the short sword reached my father's hand, he rubbed it gently, and when he looked up again, he asked with tears on his face: "Second egg?" β
The domineering man in the suit knelt down in front of my father and said, "Brother, it's me." β
ββFor a whole day, the news was boiling, and Li Erdan was back! Li Guozhong's child Li Erdan is back! Wealth does not return to the hometown is like a brocade night walk, there is nothing more enjoyable than returning to the hometown in brocade, this is a person who everyone thought had died many years ago, and now he is so powerful!
Li Erdan and his entourage lived in the abandoned old house, this old house has been kept because of the relationship between the grandfather, this is the old house of Li Erdan's family, I didn't read my grandfather's notes at that time, and I only heard of the name Li Erdan but didn't know it.
But in the past two days, the name in my ears has exploded.
But my father's face was not good after seeing Li Erdan come back, I originally thought that this Li Erdan called me Daddy's brother, isn't this my second uncle who has a rich man? From the discussion among the villagers, I learned that my old lady Orchid was the fiancΓ©e of Li Erdan, who returned to her hometown in fine clothes.
Everyone is not talking about it, some say that the second egg must be looking for trouble with my father, some people say that orchids are not blessed, but such a big boss broke the marriage contract and married my father, isn't this blind? I certainly can't go up and refute that, but I think the villagers are ridiculous.
I don't deny that my wife is a very famous beautiful woman in Shili Eight Villages.
But this Li Erdan, with such an identity, will he lack a woman?
In any case, the arrival of Li Erdan turned me from sadness to shock, and the old man's death can be slowly accepted, just the next night, I said something I almost forgot, I said to my dad do you remember my phone call a few days ago? At that time, I received an email, and the email said that my grandfather would die in three days, so I made a call, but at that time my grandfather was in good health, and you said that he was gone so suddenly, was he cursed by that email?
"Where's the mail? Let me see! "My dad is usually a very steady and gentle person, but after listening to me say this, he suddenly stood up, his expression was almost hideous!
I told him it was an email and that I had deleted it, but it was very short, and after I repeated it, my dad's expression became very weird.
"You know something? Could it be that my grandfather was killed? I asked.
He shook his head.
