Chapter 18 The bamboo basket is empty

Could it be that the rich people want to drive out at night to eat roadside supper? Just thinking about it, he poked his head out of the Maybach, and looked quite handsome from a distance.

"Girl!"

He shouted in our direction, I looked at Wang Meng, it was definitely not him, but there was no one else around, could it be calling me?

"Jiang Xin girl!"

The man shouted in conviction, got out of the car excitedly, stepped on a pair of shiny leather shoes, a suit and a leather collar, and a fashionable hairstyle, but his facial features looked so familiar.

I also stood up and took two steps towards him, and it looked clearer, there was an ink mole on his eyebrow, could it be ......

"Jiang Shuai?" I cried out in disbelief, and in the next second, I was tightly hugged into his arms.

Jiang Shuai is a cousin of mine, but I have never called him brother, he has always lived next door to my house before, and he has loved to make fun of me since he was a child, although he always teases me, but compared to other cousins and cousins, I am still a lot closer to him.

I went abroad five years ago, and I haven't been in touch since.

I heard that you won the first place in the road plate this time, but I really didn't see it before, you nerd can still have today. ”

He laughed, and he didn't forget to pinch my face like he did when I was a child, and it hurt me so much that I grinned.

"What, if you want to praise me, what a nerd!" I pretended to be a little angry and turned my head away.

Jiang Shuai saw that I was angry, and laughed, "Okay, I specially brought you a gift from the United States, and I will give it to you in a while, and it will be regarded as a reward for you."

I nodded with satisfaction and looked at Wang Meng behind me, who was sitting in his seat, looking at me from a distance, his eyes seemed to be a little sharp.

Well...... What was the matter with such sudden hostility?

I turned around and led my cousin to our table, where he rubbed his hands.

"It just so happens that I'm hungry too, let's have a barbecue together and then go back, I'll go get some meat. ”

He was about to get up, when the boss brought five large bags of packed barbecue and put it on our table, "Girl, the barbecue you want is ready, it's here." ”

Jiang Shuai's eyes widened as he looked at the barbecue in front of him, "Girl, when did your appetite become so amazing?"

I scratched my head, "I didn't eat it alone, I bought it home." "This reason is actually not convincing, most of the time in the family is just me and grandpa, no matter how much we eat, we can't eat that much.

But Jiang Shuai just nodded and lifted the barbecue on the table, "Let's go!" and stepped forward to open the car door.

Wang Meng had been following me, and suddenly came over quietly with his hands in his hands, squinting his eyes and telling me: "This kid has some bad intentions when he comes up to you. ”

My jaw almost fell to the ground, and when the words came to my lips, I swallowed them back.

Forget it, who made him an ancient, ideologically feudal.

Jiang Shuai drove, I sat in the co-pilot, Wang Meng was alone in the back seat, and I was always a little unhappy in my heart.

"Jiang Shuai, why did you suddenly come back and appear here?"

Although it is said that there is a family race, he has not returned for many previous games, or he is one of the few people in the family who is not very interested in cultivating the Tao

"I heard that this competition was very big, and I wanted to come back to join in the fun, but the plane was late, and when I came back, the race was over, and I saw that you actually won the first place. ”

Speaking of this, he praised me again, the car drove into the small yard of my house, opened the door, and saw that the house was brightly lit and crowded, and it was a very lively scene.

What's going on, according to normal times, grandpa should have already slept.

Just thinking about it, Dad walked out and shouted with a smile, "Jiang Xin is finally back." ”

The courtyard was quiet for a few seconds, and then I saw that Jiang Qian's family, as well as some other Jiang family clans, were all staying in my yard, as if they were deliberately waiting for me.

What's going on? The sun is coming out in the west today?

My father welcomed me into the house, and I saw my grandfather, my uncle, my uncle, and all my relatives sitting in the hall.

"Ahem!" the second uncle coughed twice, "Since Jiang Xin is back, let's start!"

Everyone closed their mouths with a serious look, and Jiang Yi looked at me with slanted eyes, with a contemptuous smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Today, I would like to congratulate our Jiang Xin for winning the first place in the Pandao Conference. ”

After finishing speaking, there was sparse applause around, among which the biggest applause was from my father, followed by Jiang Shuai and grandpa.

"Second, the most important reason why we carried out this Daopan meeting this year is to raise funds to purchase a machine, the Yin Yang World Vientiane Instrument. ”

It took a big turn, and it turned out to be for money.

Hearing this, I instantly tightened my pockets.

But everyone else didn't react, nodded approvingly, and handed over the contract they had signed.

I was a little nervous, when I left the Daopan Club just now, I quietly followed the lady out of the small side door, no one should have noticed, with a fluke mentality, I stood motionless, at this time, suddenly Jiang Yi's shrill voice came from beside me.

"Yo, why is my sister still indifferent, maybe she is reluctant to donate money, right? I saw her today, following the biggest female customer in our cross-cutting meeting. ”

The eyes of the audience fell on me, no, this is the money I want to support my grandfather, how can I let them take it, I closed my lips tightly, standing there like a log, no matter what they say, I am indifferent.

"Granddaughter!"

Grandpa sat in a wheelchair and said in a trembling voice, "Granddaughter, you have to remember that only a big family can have a big business, and all of us in the Jiang family can't leave the family." ”

I've always listened to my grandfather the most, and now that he's said so, what can I do?

I looked at my dad, and although he looked reluctant, he nodded slightly to me and motioned for me to take out the contract amount.

Since it was my grandfather's wishes, I could only take a deep breath, slowly took out the contract in my bag, and handed it to the uncle, who looked at the numbers on it, and there was a trace of surprise in his eyes, but he still accepted my contract without saying a word.

As soon as my contract was taken away, the party was coming to an end, and the uncle said a few words and let everyone move on their own.

In less than twenty minutes, the relatives at home had already walked cleanly, leaving behind a mess and a bunch of barbecue sticks I bought, and then I remembered Wang Meng, I hadn't seen him since I entered the door

I looked around, only to see Wang Meng standing in the corner, looking at me thoughtfully, for some reason, I suddenly felt very aggrieved.

The family meeting ended, and the cousins ate the barbecue and left.

My stomach was growling with hunger, and suddenly someone slapped me behind me, it was Jiang Shuai, who pulled me into the study, "I left you a bag, eat it." ”

I licked my lips and picked up a bunch of meat, but suddenly remembered Wang Meng outside the house, so I put it back again, "I'm okay, I'll leave it for grandpa to eat for a while." ”

I put him away and pushed him outside, "It's getting late now, you should go back early and rest, you must be tired from getting off the plane not long ago." ”

Jiang Shuai looked at me and repeatedly confirmed that I was okay before leaving.

At this time, Wang Meng was sitting on the sofa, his father followed his uncle and they didn't know where to go, and his grandfather was still in the yard, talking to some people.

I saw Wang Meng sitting alone, really lonely, so I took the initiative to hand him the skewers, and Wang Meng only glanced at me lightly.

"I've got something to do, so I'll go first. ”

After saying that, he got up and disappeared with a wave of his sleeve.

Leave without saying a word, who is it?

Thinking of what happened today, I was so angry that I picked up the skewers and ate them in less than five minutes. When I went to the yard, just as those relatives had just left, I pushed my grandfather in.

Back in the house, Grandpa looked around, "He's gone?"

"Well, Dad didn't come back after they sent Uncle out. ”

"I'm not talking about your dad. Grandpa waved his hand.

"Oh, Jiang Shuai also left just now, I'll let him rest tomorrow and come back. ”

Grandpa still shook his head vigorously, and I was a little confused for a moment.

"The one who entered the door with you and Jiang Shuai!"

“...... Wang Meng?"

A faint smile erupted into his pleated face and he nodded.

I was a little surprised, but if I think about it carefully, it's not impossible, grandpa has experienced a hundred battles, and his Dao power is not comparable to ordinary people, and it is not uncommon to see Wang Meng.

"How did you and him meet?"

"It's the Maoshan secret technique you gave me before, and I summoned him with your spirit belt according to the above. ”

In order not to worry my grandfather, I didn't tell him about my curse. Grandpa paused, and a face full of ravines was full of solemnity.

"Regardless of whether he has malicious intentions or not, you have to remember that people and ghosts have different paths, and staying with ghosts for too long will hurt your vitality, and the foundation of the Dao art you are learning now is unstable......"

"Okay, I know grandpa, and I only have a short time with him, and it's impossible to say that I want to stay with him for too long. ”

When I said this, I was very helpless, and now I have a curse in my body, and I must rely on Wang Meng to lift it, and it is estimated that this matter will not be solved in a short time.

Grandpa nodded reassuringly, "Also, granddaughter, you must remember grandpa's words, no matter what happens in the future, you can't leave the Jiang family alone, you know?"

I nodded ignorantly, I didn't know what my grandfather meant by this sentence at that time, I originally thought that I was just a dispensable junior to the Jiang family, and I really hoped so.

At night, I lay in bed, thinking of what my grandfather said, my heart always felt heavy, no matter what, the most important thing now is to help the family get rid of poverty, so that grandpa can live a good life, I must work hard to take more orders and earn more money.

I gave myself some chicken blood, and I finally fell asleep in an excited mood.

After two days at home peacefully, Jiang Shuai told me that he was in a hurry and had no time to meet, Wang Meng had not appeared since that party, I had nothing to do at home, and carefully flipped through the book "Maoshan Secret Technique" that my grandfather gave me.

At noon that day, while basking in the sun, my mobile phone suddenly rang, and when I picked it up, it was a familiar woman's voice.
