After chatting with his wife, Master Liu hung up the phone on the grounds that he was driving.

"Hehe, my daughter-in-law has a broken mouth, and every time I call her, I have to talk for a long time." Master Liu explained to me with a smile.

I also smiled and praised them for their harmonious husband and wife and happy family, and Master Liu couldn't smile and was quite acceptable to what I said.

"Master, can you tell me about the situation at Grandpa Ren's house?"

After the compliment, I took the opportunity to talk about the topic to the second grandfather, and after this period of chat, Master Liu was completely defenseless against me, and I think he should tell me everything he knows.

Sure enough, in the next period of time, I learned some information about the second grandfather's family members from his mouth, and I will briefly explain:

The second grandfather has two sons and two daughters, I don't know how old they are, the eldest is his son Ren Zhiguo, the second is his daughter Ren Fuxiang, the third is his daughter Ren Minxia, and the eldest is his son Ren Zhibing.

The eldest son lives in the city and gave birth to a daughter named Ren Xuanning, who should be twenty-four years old.

The second daughter married a foreign husband surnamed Wang and gave birth to a son, named Wang Zixuan, who was in his early twenties.

The third daughter married to a foreign husband's surname Zhang, and gave birth to a son, named Zhang Xiaoguang, who was also about 20 years old.

The youngest son lives in Star City, and the daughter he gave birth to, named Ren Ruoyi, is a teenager and is still in high school.

What Master Liu said is very true, the second grandfather lived in Pingtang Village for more than ten years until he passed away now, and it is normal for the people in the village to know that there are several people in his family, but because he is not too familiar with the relationship, he is not very clear about the private issue of age.

Knowing the relationship between the second grandfather's family members, I am also relieved, at least when I see someone, I will probably be able to say the name.

…

From getting on the bus to now, more than an hour has passed, chatting with Master Liu along the way about the customs and cultural interests of Liucheng, looking at the street scene outside the window, the car passed through the city and finally came to the sparsely populated rural road.

I heard Master Liu say, "We're almost there." ”

Hearing that it was coming, I subconsciously sat up straight, and I felt a little tired from sitting in the car after more than an hour of road driving.

Looking at the original road on both sides of the towering buildings and rows of houses, now they are gone, turned into piles of loess, there are no welcoming trees on both sides of the road like in the city, only green hills in the distance, and on the left side of the road is a wide river, stretching forward for nowhere.

"This is already a rural road, that is, out of the city, this area is all villages, our Pingtang Village is not far from the city, you see the bridge in front of you, wait for us to cross the bridge and then go a little further is Pingtang Village."

Master Liu pointed to a small bridge across the long river in front of me and explained to me, the field of vision in front is very wide, you can see far away, we are still some distance in the bridge he pointed to, but we can clearly see the appearance of the bridge, and there is a pavilion for people to rest in the middle of the bridge.

When the car was about to drive to the bridge, Master Liu exclaimed and stepped on the brakes.

"Ayya, is this Langari?" (What's wrong)

The reason for his exclamation was that the bridge was sealed, two blockades were erected in the middle of the bridge, a sign prohibiting traffic was placed, and a large opening was missing in the right fence in the middle of the bridge, as if it had been forcibly knocked open by a car, and the bits and pieces of the car could be seen on the ground.

Master Liu stretched out his head and looked left and right, and said with some complaint: "Who drove this car, hit such a big hole in the middle, I can't get over it." ”

I felt a pang in my heart and said, "Then what should I do, is this the only way to go to the village, isn't it impossible to go back?" ”

I'm more worried about whether I can get there before dinner, and if this is the only way, it will be troublesome.

"That's not true, it's definitely more than this, but it takes time to detour."

I could have walked a short road, but I had to take a long detour, which is probably the helplessness of drivers.

Knowing that there is still a road, I am relieved, if it is really a road, then I can only get out of the car and walk over, the problem is that I don't know how to walk, maybe it may not be dark to walk.

Master Liu reversed the car and went straight according to the original route, he explained to me that Pingtang Village is on the opposite side of the river, and if you want to go over, you can only cross the bridge, otherwise you can only go all the way to the main road and enter the village from the north on the left, and the place where we originally entered the village is the south, which is equivalent to going around a circle and a half, and it will take about 15 minutes to enter the village.

Originally, it was expected to arrive at Pingtang Village at five o'clock, but after such a roundabout, it was already five and fifteen by the time I arrived at Pingtang Village.

It was raining when I left in Star City, and although it didn't rain on Liucheng's side, the sky was cloudy and there was no sunshine.

Master Liu knew where the second grandfather's house was, and sent me to that neighborhood, I got out of the car and gave me three hundred car money, but Master Liu charged me one hundred less, saying that it was fate to be able to talk, he would stay at home for three days, if I wanted to leave during this time, I could call him, and when I went back, he could also give me a preferential price, and wrote his phone number on a piece of paper and handed it to me.

I took his phone number with a smile, said goodbye to him, and Master Liu drove away.

Clever people really know how to do business, and if I really want to leave, I will definitely choose to take his car, which will definitely be cheaper than other taxis.

There is a cement road across the village, and there are rice fields on the side of the road, and there are many paths in the fields leading to the other side of the rice fields, and on the other side is the residential area of Pingtang Village.

A three-storey beautiful European-style villa rises from the ground, it looks out of place in this countryside, I can hear the mourning music from there from a long distance, the villa is on the periphery of the village, standing in place I can see the inflatable arch placed outside the gate, on which there are ten big characters in black and white "mourning for the death of the old lady", the font is large and eye-catching, people passing by can see it clearly, and even can see the people in and out of the yard.

I walked down the path in that direction and took out my phone and dialed a number.

This number was given to me by my father, and when I got there, I called this number, and someone would come out to pick me up.

"Hey, who's that?" The phone was answered, and a low, somewhat hoarse male voice came from the other side.

From the voice, I could tell that it should be a middle-aged man, and his mood was very low.

"Oh, hello, I am... When the man spoke, I quickly identified myself and told him that I was almost at the door.

The man on the other end of the phone said, "Oh, it turned out to be Xiaosheng, wait a minute, I'll call someone to pick you up at the door." ”

Saying that, the man hung up the phone, as if he didn't want to talk more, I can also understand that the person who answered the phone should be one of the sons of the second grandfather, and the death of his father must be uncomfortable.

When I walked to the door of the big villa, I saw a woman with long black hair, wearing a linen suit, and a cold and slender figure standing outside the door.
