Chapter 18: Master Jiang

My dad didn't go to work because of the factory holiday today, and when I had breakfast, my dad told me to go to my uncle's house with him at noon, saying that my second brother was going to invite our family to dinner.

Speaking of my second brother, my dad still feels very proud, because he likes my second brother since he was a child, and thinks that his son, that is, me, should be my second brother's character who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and will only have a future in the future.

My dad said that my second brother came back this time, and brought hundreds of thousands, and said that he would buy a new house for my uncle and aunt in the city, after saying that, he looked at me again, snorted in his nose, and said, "Look at you, it's been more than a month since I came back from Taiyuan, and I don't do anything all day, I can't see that in a few days, you can go out with your second brother to earn money." ”

My mother patted him and said, "What about eating, what are you talking about, the old man doesn't know what to do outside, and he doesn't let people ask, but don't be illegal, when the time comes, you will send our Shunzi in, besides, what kind of job will he find at this juncture, if something happens, you can afford it." ”

My dad couldn't resist my mom, so he said, "Then it's up to you, but you're not too young, and it's time to think about your future, and you can't always count on us as a couple." ”

I nodded and told him that I knew, and that I would go to the city to find a job after this while.

Later, at noon, my mother went to the street to buy something and let me take it with my father to my uncle's house.

Uncle's family is near the Huayuan community in our county, in recent years because of my second brother, the situation of the uncle's family has improved a lot, built a two-story small western-style building, and bought a car, but I don't know why, the relationship between the uncle's family and my family is also estranged a lot, except for the New Year's holidays, there is almost no contact on weekdays.

When I went at that time, my father made a bitter face and told me to go later, no matter what my uncle said to my aunt, tell me not to be angry, and if there is anything unpleasant, don't take it to heart.

I understood what my dad meant, nodded and told him he understood.

When I arrived at my uncle's house, there were several tables of good food in the yard, and my uncle's relatives and friends came, chatting with my uncle around them, and boasting that my second brother is now promising, and the hard life of the old couple has come to an end.

My dad led me over to say hello to my uncle, and my uncle didn't say anything, just nodded his head, but my second brother was very enthusiastic, and came over to give my dad a cigarette, so that my dad wouldn't be in a hurry to leave after eating later, saying that he specially brought back two bottles for my dad for a long time, and asked him to take them back and taste them.

My dad smiled and patted my second brother on the shoulder, saying that my second brother has grown up and is also filial, which is like me, I didn't ask for a pot.

When chatting with my second brother, a relative came over, and after a few polite words, he asked me where my second brother is now, and my second brother waved his hand and said, "I don't have the heart to say that, sit down and eat!" ”

I don't know what's wrong, I suddenly feel that I am indeed too scumbag compared to my second brother, although we are not a few years apart, but my second brother is very good at talking and doing things, which is much better than me.

Later, after eating, relatives and friends were almost gone, leaving only a few friends who had a better relationship with my uncle to drink there, probably drinking too much, my uncle pulled my second brother aside, I don't know what to say.

But after a while, my second brother's face changed, and he shook off my uncle's arm and said impatiently, "You don't care about me!" ”

Now my aunt's face also changed, asked him what was going on, why did he quarrel, and as he spoke, he put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, shook the water, wiped it with a rag, and passed.

The relatives around me also persuaded my uncle there, saying that my second brother had just come back a few days ago, so if you have anything to discuss, don't quarrel.

My uncle's face was very gloomy at this time, and he pointed at my second brother and scolded, "I don't care how much money you can make outside, don't do those petty theft and illegal things for me!" ”

As soon as he said this, the crowd around him fell silent, and my aunt quickly patted my second brother on the shoulder at this time, and said, "You have been gone for a year and a half, and you don't say anything outside, isn't your father also worried about you." ”

My second brother didn't want to say more to them, so he waved his hand and said, "I earn my money, what should you do, what do you do, it's really, annoying!" ”

His words made my uncle angry, and with the strength of the wine, he was going to go up to clean up my second brother, and the people around him quickly grabbed him when they saw this, and persuaded my uncle to calm down, my second brother's temper at this time also came up, and I yelled at my uncle, "Come, you move Lao Tzu to try!" ”

My uncle was naturally very angry, picked up a brick on the ground and smashed it, but my second brother easily avoided it, and my uncle pointed at my second brother's nose and scolded, saying, "You get out of the way, I don't have a bastard son like you!" ”

My second brother's temper is also strong, and he said, "Get out!" "As soon as he slammed the door and left, my aunt shouted at him in the back for a long time, but it was useless.

At this time, my father pestled me with his elbow and said, "Usually your second brother loves you the most, go and persuade him, don't let him do anything stupid." ”

I answered and ran out the door.

After chasing out, I saw my second brother squatting at the mouth of the alley, I didn't know who to call, I called him, and went over to squat next to him.

My second brother took one look at me and asked me if my father asked me to come out to find him? I shook my head and said no, and my second brother smiled, stood up, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it to me, saying let me go back, and if anyone asked, they would say they didn't see him.

I asked him where he was going, and my second brother said leave it alone, and said that if he knew that I had told my uncle and aunt and came back and broke my legs, he would not let me continue to follow him, but walked along the dirt road alone for a long time, and finally got into a black SUV and left.

My second brother just left, no one knows where he went, as for what he was doing outside, he didn't say, no one knew, although my uncle's family raised his head in front of relatives and friends, but he always felt unsteady, thinking that my second brother was doing something illegal, otherwise he wouldn't have jumped a fart.

When I went back, my relatives and friends had already left, leaving my aunt sitting in the yard crying, and my uncle didn't know where to go, so my dad asked me how I was, did I catch up, I naturally didn't dare to tell the truth, so I shook my head and said that I didn't see anyone, probably I took a car and left.

Later, on the way back with my father, I remembered that I had heard my second brother say that when my grandfather calculated a hexagram for him, he just dropped out of school to work outside, what he was doing outside, maybe grandpa would know, but grandpa is not there now, so I can only wait for him to come back.

When I got home that day, my mother told me that my grandfather called me and said that he might be back tomorrow, and asked me about my situation, and my mother told him that there was nothing wrong.

When my mother told me about this, I could see that she was very excited, but I didn't know why, but I was a little reluctant in my heart, thinking that if my grandfather came back, then the chances of me meeting You Yimei were estimated to be even smaller.

The next day, when it was almost noon, the door of my yard rang, my mother went to open the door, as soon as I opened the door, I found that it was my grandfather who came back, and with him, there was an old man, this old man looked much older than my grandfather, I estimated that he must be at least eighty years old, full of white hair, especially his eye sockets are deep, and his cheekbones are very high, but the eyes of people are very energetic.

Grandpa introduced to us, saying that this is the master he invited, let's call him Master Jiang, this Master Jiang has been staring at me since he entered my house, and it is estimated that people can see at a glance that I have a problem, no wonder, people are deeper than Grandpa's Taoism, this little thing must be difficult for him.

Grandpa asked my mom if I had been out in the past two days, my mom looked at me, said that I went out, and went to find a job for a day, but there was no problem, grandpa obviously didn't trust me, and looked at me suspiciously, but he probably guessed that I wouldn't tell the truth, so he asked me to stretch out my left hand.
