Chapter 45: Grandfather Huang Zhenqiang
"Grandpa, I guess it's still where I used to be."
In my memory, my grandfather lived in a small house in an urban village in Hai Province.
Although the environment was poor, it was the first time Lin Xiu felt affection from someone other than his mother, so even though he was young at the time, he still had a deep impression of that place.
After taking a taxi, Lin Xiu and Ni Xiaotong arrived at the urban village.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Ni Xiaotong looked at the urban village and sighed.
When they hear about urban villages, many people may have the impression that they are as poor as slums, but the urban villages in Hai Province are not the same.
This urban village was planned as a development area by Hai Province many years ago, and it was originally intended to build a commercial street, but because of the relationship between the Huang family, this urban village was retained.
Speaking of urban villages, it can actually be renamed Huangjia Village, because the people here are basically from the Huang family.
Being able to keep a village in the prosperous Hai Province is enough to show the influence of the Huang family in the Hai Province at the beginning.
"Be quiet, follow me." Lin Xiu whispered hello to Ni Xiaotong, and then led her towards the urban village.
Even at night, the urban village is bustling with activity, and the lights in the houses are brightly lit, after all, the people who live here are all families, and they will rush around at night.
However, compared to the lively appearance of other bungalows, there was a bungalow in the corner of the urban village that seemed a little deserted, and when he walked to the door, Lin Xiu calmed down.
His grandfather is in the Huang family, and the reason why he is not treated well has his own reasons, but a large part of it is because of the relationship between Lin Xiu's mother and son.
I knocked on the door, and the light inside came on.
"Who?"
An old voice rang out in the room.
When Lin Xiu heard this voice, his heart was a little excited. Grandfather Huang Zhenqiang is his only relative now.
The big iron door of the bungalow slowly opened, and an old man with gray wings looked at Lin Xiu strangely, probably because of his age, the old man's eyes were not good.
"You are?"
"Grandpa, I'm Lin Xiu, I'm here to see you." Lin Xiu whispered.
"Xiu, are you Xiu'er?" The tiredness on Huang Zhenqiang's face was gone, and his glasses were also staring, as if he was trying to open them and look at his grandson.
"Grandpa, let's talk about it inside, it won't be good if others see it." Lin Xiu said to his grandfather.
Grandpa nodded and stepped out of the way: "Come in quickly." ”
Lin Xiu and Ni Xiaotong followed their grandfather into the house, and Huang Zhenqiang walked to the living room, took out a pair of reading glasses and put them on.
"Xiu'er, hurry up and let grandpa take a look."
Lin Xiu sat on the sofa, and his grandfather looked at Lin Xiu with straight eyes: "Like, it's so much like your mother, it's all my fault, I'm sorry for your mother and son, if I had a little bit of interest, your mother wouldn't be so bitter, and finally let the car crash and die." ”
Lin Xiu shook his head: "Grandpa, I don't blame you, it's me and my mother who have troubled you." ”
"Hey, I'm an old bone, what's not involved, but you, after your mother's accident, I came to Binhai to look for you, where did you go? I thought you were ......," Grandpa asked.
Even Ni Xiaotong, a young man, didn't believe the truth, and Lin Xiu clearly estimated that his grandfather wouldn't believe it, so he could only continue to tell his grandfather the reason why he was taken away by the divine doctor for treatment.
"There are still many good people in the world." When my grandfather heard what happened to Lin Xiu, he sighed.
"How is the Huang family now?" Lin Xiu asked.
"It's not as good as before, when the eldest brother was there before, it was beautiful, but after he fell off the horse because of corruption and bribery, he began to be lonely, I told them a long time ago, it is necessary to go to the evil door and crookedly, they have to listen, and now they know that they regret it." My grandfather was also very happy to see that his grandson was not dead, and kept talking about it.
Lin Xiu nodded, he had heard some of these situations from Liu Zhihui's mouth.
It's just that seeing his grandfather's attitude, Lin Xiu can be regarded as understanding why he is not treated by the Huang family, to put it simply, he is not social, when others are corrupt and bribery, and take the wrong path, a person who insists on his own opinions and has principles seems to be alien and incompatible.
It is not surprising that people who do not fit in will naturally be excluded.
"By the way, what are your plans for coming to Hai Province? Although my grandfather is a mess, this house is worth a little money, so I'll sell it to you to do some business. Grandpa said.
When Lin Xiu's mother brought him to Hai Province to ask for help, his grandfather said that he wanted to sell the house, but this thing can be said to be the only thing for his grandfather, if this house is sold, then my grandfather may only be living on the streets, even if Lin Xiu's mother is difficult, it is impossible to ask for this money.
Whether you want it or not, grandpa has this heart, Lin Xiu is very happy: "Grandpa, I didn't come to ask you for money, I came to Hai Province to go to university, and there are two days before I leave school, so I will stay here with you temporarily." ”
"Go to college, good, go to college." He nodded openly: "You can only get out after school." ”
In the eyes of these older generations, going to college is a matter of honoring their ancestors.
"By the way, who is this little girl?" Grandpa glanced at Ni Xiaotong and said.
"This is my sister, who used to live in my mother's orphanage." Lin Xiu explained.
Ni Xiaotong stood up and greeted his grandfather: "Hello grandfather." ”
"Good!" My grandfather was so happy that he thought he was alone, but he didn't expect his grandson, who had been missing for five years, to find it and bring back a beautiful girl.
Lin Xiu didn't know that Ni Xiaotong was already a prospective granddaughter-in-law in the eyes of his grandfather.
Grandpa seemed very happy, and pulled Lin Xiu to chatter for hours about trivial matters.
In his grandfather's body, Lin Xiu felt the long-lost family affection.
It was close to twelve o'clock that Lin Xiu said to his grandfather: "Grandpa, it's not too early, you go and rest first." ”
"I'll clean up your room." Grandpa said, hunching his back and going upstairs.
Lin Xiu hurriedly followed: "No need, grandpa, let's just clean up the room by ourselves." ”
"That's it!" Ni Xiaotong nodded.
"How can I get you to do it, just watch it." Grandpa said stubbornly.
Lin Xiu had no choice but to follow his grandfather to clean up the room, although his grandfather's house was basically not inhabited by others, but every room was very clean, and it was obviously cleaned often.
After a while, the beds in the two rooms were made.
Lin Xiu sent his grandfather back to the room.
"Xiu'er, go to sleep quickly." Grandpa walked into the room and sat down on the bed, waving his hand.
Lin Xiu thought for a moment and asked, "Grandpa, do you want to be the patriarch of the Huang family?" ”
With Lin Xiu's current ability, as long as his grandfather nods, he can definitely push his grandfather Huang Zhenqiang to the position of the head of the Huang family.
