When my father saw the uncle, he didn't have the enthusiasm of the ordinary normal family brothers, but the uncle opened his mouth first.

He put down his chopsticks and said to the door: "I thought that if you asked me, at least you could send a car to pick me up." Unexpectedly, I drove it back by myself. There was a little embarrassment on my father's face, but he still didn't speak.

Grandma was across the table, smiling all over her face, round: "Your brother has been in a daze since he was a child, and you didn't know it for the first time." Shanghai is not far from Nanjing, you said you are too, why don't you bring a driver back? I drove back by myself. In the final analysis, it's still your own brother's business, you are in a hurry, and if you are someone else, you must not be so concerned. Although your brother doesn't say it, you see that this table of dishes is what Cao Mu ordered to make in the morning, and there is your favorite plum cabbage and pork. This plum dish, but Cao Mu specially asked someone to get it, it is very authentic, try it. As he spoke, he picked up a piece of meat and put it in Cao Qi's bowl.

My father put the briefcase he had brought with him on the sofa and began to unbutton his suit. Aunt Qin hurriedly went over to help hang up the clothes. The uncle leaned back in the chair and said casually: "Look, what a good family, Xiaoqin takes care of you meticulously, why don't you stop and don't learn from others?" You know, taking bribes is a game that only smart people can play. There is nothing wrong with this sentence, but for two people with a tense relationship, education has also become a number of people and buried people.

The father unbuttoned his shirt cufflinks as he approached the dining table and sat across from Cao Qi. picked up a pair of chopsticks, took a bite of the dish, put it next to the plate in front of the uncle, and looked into the uncle's eyes, and slowly said a few words: "Big brother, eat!" ”

The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense. Aunt Qin gently pushed her father with her hand from behind, and then her father slowly withdrew the chopsticks, which was as slow as the slow motion of a movie.

The uncle smiled disdainfully: "Cao Mu, as you get older, this temper is not less!" You know, what I'm doing when I come back! ”

My father also put down his chopsticks and said slowly: "I know, help me at the same time, see my joke!" ”

Grandma suddenly put the bowl down, and the sound of the ceramic hitting the marble table was very loud! It scared me and Cao Cancan! Grandma said angrily, "What is this for! Since your father passed away, this family has not been reversed! The matter of Chen sesame rotten grain is endless, I have a total of two sons, who usually don't interact, and they meet like enemies. A begging person will not be soft, and a helper will have to say ridiculous words, this ability is all used at home! ”

The family was silent, and the father didn't speak again, but the uncle was a smart person after all, so he hurriedly made amends to his grandmother and told his grandmother that he was just using the identity of the eldest brother to educate his younger brother about the rules of the game in officialdom. Unexpectedly, a gunpowder smoke that I thought would subside when my grandmother's anger was ignited again because of a disdainful hum~ sound from my father's nostrils.

And this time, the uncle used practical actions to tell his father the importance of judging the situation.

He picked up his clothes, turned to his grandmother and said, "Mom, you explain my affairs, and I can't do anything." The parties themselves are unwilling to be helped, and I, who am far away, have a hot face and a cold ass, which is not my Cao Qi's character. Mom, I'll come back to see you in a few days, and by the way, I'll take Chenchen to see grandma. With that, he took out his car keys, opened the door and went out into the yard. Grandma and Aunt Qin hurriedly stood up, and Aunt Qin pushed her father hard and told him to hurry up and chase after her, but her father didn't think so. However, when there was the sound of a car engine in the yard, I saw that my father was also a little panicked. Perhaps, this is the primitive state of being subject to human beings.

Grandma pointed at her father: "Cao Mu! Are you going to me off! Seeing that Grandma was angry, the father turned his head to look at the yard, put down his chopsticks, sighed softly, and went out.

In the courtyard, the father and the uncle stayed for about ten minutes, and no one knew what they were talking about. But in the end, the uncle entered the house with his father. However, there is still very little communication between the two people, and they can not speak without talking.

I don't know exactly how this thing works. It's just that after this incident, my father was a little quieter, and he didn't even socialize much, and the family didn't talk much, but at this time, he was even more taciturn, after all, the matter was so big, and it was certain that it would be disgraceful.

However, there is another interesting thing in this world, and that is that there is never a shortage of news. Therefore, the matter of my father was quickly covered by all kinds of things by others.

During the few days when the uncle was in the Cao family to help my father calm down the turmoil, he often didn't eat at home, so even though I had a summer vacation, the number of contacts I had was limited.

Cao Cancan participated in the summer camp organized by the school during the summer vacation, and was away from home half of the time.

At the suggestion of my grandmother and Aunt Jean, I went back to my mother's old house for a week. During the week, my mother was very happy, she cooked for me in different ways, and asked me what to do, and I also replied. A week later, I returned to Cao's house.

As for the teacher, I don't know what's going on. However, just when everyone thought that the matter was over like this, the incident was like a small flame that had not yet been extinguished, a gust of wind, and the spring breeze blew again.

The head teacher's family suddenly took out a letter of commitment signed by his father a week after the uncle returned to Shanghai! Promise that their family can give demolition compensation at the price of X per square meter!

This incident was like a thunderbolt from the blue, which poured cold water on the Cao family, which had just recovered. And this time, the other party happened to make a copy of this piece of paper and sent it to the leaders of the provincial authorities!

In the early nineties, it was not yet fashionable to verify the authenticity of notes, so things got tricky.

The father sat on the couch, scratching his head with his hands, and shouted hoarsely, "I don't know her family at all!" Not to mention taking the money and signing! What the hell is this for! They want money, can't I get it for her myself? Aunt Qin suddenly asked her father on the side, "How did you meet her?" ”

My father didn't raise his head, but stretched out his hand and pointed in my direction: "She! Send her! ”

Everyone looked at me in unison. I don't care about other people's eyes. But one of my father's hers still regarded me as an outsider to the Cao family, which wiped out my efforts to stay in the Cao family for nearly two months.

Grandma still called the uncle, and this time with the uncle, there was also the eldest mother Zhang Jing and their child, Cao Chen.

The Cao family was like ants on a hot pot at the moment, and Zhang Jing's arrival made the entire Cao family face a situation of internal and external troubles. Because, my father's affairs are very tricky, and Aunt Zhang Jing inadvertently complained to her father about the unfortunate experience of someone outside Cao Qi, so that the whole family was in chaos.

That day, it was very hot in Nanjing, I was writing my summer homework in my bedroom, there was no wind outside, and the plane tree outside the window stood quietly in place, the leaves motionless.
