Chapter 55: Grandpa

Maybe in the past, I may have been the only one in the family who didn't know the situation, and maybe all of them were hiding it from me alone.

When he heard the word "grandpa", his cousin's face froze, and his eyes were a little evasive: "Why do you ask grandpa, didn't grandpa die a long time ago?" ”

Seeing my cousin's expression, I was even more sure that he had known about it a long time ago, but he had just kept it from me from the beginning.

"Just now I was on the phone with my father, and he told me that my grandfather was still alive."

The cousin was first startled when he heard this, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"It turns out that Uncle told you everything, so I have been hiding it for so long."

Looking at my cousin's relaxed expression, I was a little upset and asked, "Why are you hiding it from me?" ”

The cousin said helplessly: "It's all your father asking me to hide it from you, but I didn't mean to, you can't blame me." ”

I had already guessed that it was my father's meaning, and I didn't ask much to embarrass him.

"What kind of person is Grandpa?" I asked, confused.

The cousin said: "Grandpa is the head of the family, speaking of which, if you put it in the past, you would be the son of a rich and noble family." ”

The head of the family? This name is somewhat unfamiliar in modern society, and the patriarch seems to be the leader of a race.

"Actually, when I was a child, I didn't know that I had a grandfather, and I only found out by chance when I grew up, and my father didn't seem to want us to know the existence of 'grandpa'."

There was some discord between my father and my grandfather, and this point of view can be shown by all these signs.

According to my cousin, after my illness was cured and brought back by my father, a strange man also came back with my father, he was still young at the time, and he only remembered that the man looked at him and said something to my father, and my father hesitated for a while and then nodded slightly, and then my father took my cousin to find my uncle and aunt, that is, my cousin's parents.

The cousin of their conversation can't remember a word, only remember that his father insisted on sending him to the man, although the mother was reluctant to pull him but was pulled by his father, when he was still young, he wanted to go with a stranger, of course he was not happy, so he cried and made trouble but refused to go, fortunately, in the end the man did not force it, just said something to his parents, and then left by himself.

"I thought he didn't want to take me away, so I didn't even think I was in the fifth grade when the man suddenly appeared again, took me home first, said goodbye to my parents, and then hurriedly took me out of the house, so that I didn't even have time to say goodbye to my classmates."

The cousin thought back to the scene for a while, and his expression was complaining.

After listening to my cousin, I remember not seeing my cousin since kindergarten, and I didn't see him again until I was in fifth grade.

But listening to his description always felt too hasty, why would he leave his parents so easily and follow a strange man?

It feels like my cousin deliberately omitted a lot of details.

"The place you went to is Grandpa's, right?"

I didn't ask him directly, I knew it would be redundant to ask.

The cousin nodded and shook his head: "At first, I didn't know it was grandpa's, but I didn't know until later." ”

"What are you doing there?" I pretended to be nonchalant.

The cousin smiled mysteriously, showed a weak expression and said: "Hehe, this is a secret, Xiaosheng, if you want to know, go by yourself, anyway, you are about to have a summer vacation." ”

It was clear that the cousin didn't want to say anything about what happened after he went there.

Just as I was about to repeat his words, there was a knock on the door.

frowned, opened the door without speaking, and saw Huang Siyu standing at the door.

Seeing the door open and seeing me and my cousin in the house, she said with some caution: "I knocked on your room just now and found no one, so I guessed that you might be here." ”

"Is there something wrong?" I asked.

Hearing my inquiry, Huang Siyu remembered the purpose of her coming here, and hurriedly said, "Oh, it's almost time to eat, let me come and ask if you want to go to dinner together?" ”

"Go, go, go, it just so happens that I'm hungry too, and since my younger brothers and sisters have spoken, of course we want to be together."

I still have a lot of questions to ask my cousin, and just when I wanted to say no, my cousin preemptively said it before me.

After finishing speaking, he looked at me and pretended to be pitiful and said: "Xiaosheng, no matter how you say it, let me eat my stomach, you see that I came all the way to find you, and I didn't even have time to eat a bite of food, so you can't bear to watch me hungry?" ”

Seeing his fake acting skills, I really had no intention of complaining, but after looking at it, it was indeed time to eat.

"Call Willin and them together, let's go to dinner together, my cousin said he wants a treat."

Huang Siyu's face was inexplicably a little red, and he replied softly: "Then I'll go over and call them first." ”

After saying that, he immediately went over and knocked on their door.

"Hey, when did I say I was going to have a treat?" The cousin's dissatisfied voice rang out.

"Do you think it's appropriate for you not to have a treat?"

I asked a rhetorical question, and then walked straight outside, without looking back at his expression, because I didn't have to look at it to know it wouldn't be too cute.

The door of my room was open, and Huang Siyu called Chen Qingya in his room and Wei Lin in my room, and now they are knocking on Officer Huang Xuan's door.

By the time Huang Xuan opened the door, my cousin and I had already arrived outside the door.

"Xuanzi, let's go eat together."

Huang Xuan said slightly apologetically: "I just received a call, the bureau is looking for me something, I'm afraid I can't be with you." ”

The cousin waved his hand absently: "Then you go and get busy, I'll just take them there, do you want me to bring one for you?" ”

Huang Xuan refused with a smile, he said that he didn't know how busy he would be, let's leave him alone, and went downstairs first.

Huang Siyu called Wei Lin and Chen Qingya, Wei Lin came out immediately, Chen Qingya was a little slow, and she hasn't come out yet, I think it may be putting on makeup, girls always need to dress up when they go out.

We didn't rush until Chen Qingya took the initiative to come out.

When she came out, she smiled embarrassedly at us and said sorry softly. We didn't care either.

The group took the elevator and went downstairs, and only when they arrived on the road did they look a little confused.

Because we rarely come here, maybe the word "rarely" is not very accurate, and if it weren't for these things, we probably wouldn't have come to the vicinity of the Tiger Bay Police Station in our lifetime, so we didn't know of any good restaurants nearby.

The group looked around aimlessly, and I saw that the street on the far right was quite lively compared to other places, so I pointed over there and said, "Let's go that way, there are many people over there, there should be a lot of places to eat." ”

Everyone had no objection and walked slowly to the right with me.
