Chapter 2: The Third Uncle
At that time, my father and my grandfather lived separately, but the two families were only separated by one street.
I watched curiously as the people walked into my grandfather's house, and wondered where the hell these guests were coming from.
It wasn't until the adobe house that there was a fierce quarrel, and then the sound of pots and pans falling to the ground.
I was suddenly anxious, and ran outside with a stick, and as soon as I ran to the door, I saw my grandfather angrily stretching his beard, carrying a rolling pin and beating out several men violently.
The men were beaten crying dad and calling mother, their heads were covered with blood, the two women were so frightened that they didn't know that the boxes in their hands were scattered, and the bundles of red banknotes pierced my eyes.
One of them yelled angrily: "Old man Zhang! Don't be ashamed! What the fuck is it! Still guarding your set of things as a treasure! ”
"Look at what life you've lived all these years! It's not as good as a stinky food! If you don't take the Golden Strip, you have to die in this broken village, right? ”
The man shouted loudly, but the grandfather only had a gloomy face and replied: Get out!
The man said angrily, "Okay! The surname is Zhang! You're awesome! Gentlemen, serve you today! But don't forget, your Zhang family is guilty! Sins that will never be atonement for a lifetime! ”
"You want to take this sin for the entire Zhang family! It depends on whether God agrees or not! ”
After saying that, several men and women picked up bundles of banknotes on the ground, glared at Grandpa fiercely, and then got into the car and drove away.
Because it was the time of the summer harvest, this fight did not attract the attention of the villagers, only I was wearing a pants vest and carrying a stick in my hand and smashed it into the two cars.
The stick landed on the rear glass of the car, and a crater was smashed into it, leading to another scream in the car.
The car ran away, leaving my grandparents squatting on the ground, cleaning up the broken pots and pans. At this time, I realized that my grandfather's hair was already very white and white, and his waist was very rickety.
After all, he is almost seventy years old.
After we finished packing our things, we looked at each other in silence, and I didn't ask grandpa where those guys came from and what they were going to do.
Grandpa didn't explain it to me, just sat on the couch and kept smoking.
After a while, my grandfather suddenly said to me, "Xiao Jiu, you pack up your things and leave tomorrow." ”
My hands trembled a little and said, "Where are you going?" ”
Grandpa said: "Provincial capital, Shimen!" ”
So when I heard my grandfather say it so resolutely, my brain suddenly buzzed, and I was afraid that I really couldn't stay at home.
Grandpa saw that my eyes were red, and sighed: "Xiao Jiu, you have read my six-year book, and I have shown you what I should have read and I have shown you what I shouldn't have seen." ”
"There are some things that you don't understand now, and you will definitely understand later."
I said in a hoarse voice, "Grandpa, is it related to those men and women?" ”
Grandpa touched my head and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay." In short, their arrival made me understand that there are some things that cannot be avoided, and can only be truly faced. ”
"Go ahead, your parents, I'll go tell them."
Grandpa has always been a very assertive person, to put it in layman's terms, it is called domineering. Don't look at my father and two uncles who live separately from my grandfather, but after my grandfather's words, my father and uncles don't dare to let out half a fart.
But that night, my parents had a big fight with my grandfather, and the quarrel was so fierce that the roof almost overturned, and my father shouted at the top of his voice that he wanted to send me to the bastard in Shimen City, and it was better to let him die.
Then Grandpa's roar covered it again.
I don't know who that bastard in the provincial capital is, anyway, the quarrel lasted until the second half of the night, and the exhausted parents finally agreed to Grandpa's words.
Let me go to the provincial capital to find that bastard.
That night, my parents packed my bags for me, short sleeves, T-shirts, coats, and even a thick down jacket, all of which were stuffed into the backpack.
In addition, my father also divided the thick stack of money into three parts and hid it in the backpack, and the stack of money was very thick, almost more than 30,000 yuan.
The bags they packed made my face pale, and I asked my grandfather, when will I be back when I went out this time?
But my grandfather touched my head and said meaningfully, "When you think you can come back, you can come back." ”
I don't know what the second monk said about this sentence, but I also understand that I am afraid that it will be a long, long time to go out this time, and I may have to spend the winter outside.
Otherwise, my mother wouldn't have stuffed my down jacket into it.
Thinking about this, I'm a little excited. The big boy who has just turned eighteen years old has a heavy academic load on weekdays, and at most he has been to several small counties around him, so it is impossible to say that he has no yearning for the outside.
Especially when I saw the stack of money that my dad stuffed in my bag, it tickled my heart even more.
When I was a child, my family conditions were average, and my parents had strict control over my pocket money.
Suddenly I saw that tens of thousands of dollars belonged to me, and the excitement and excitement even diluted my sorrow about leaving home.
In this way, I was forcibly kicked out of the house by my grandfather.
No one gave me off the day I went out, only my grandfather's big yellow dog followed me all the way outside the village, and it wasn't until I got on a passing bus to the train station that the big yellow dog wagged its tail and barked home.
At that time, I really didn't know what it would mean for me to go out this time.
The provincial capital is not far from my home, and it is more than 300 kilometers away. But a provincial capital is a provincial capital, and I walked down the street for more than an hour with a bulky package on my back before I found a shop with wreaths on it.
The bastard that Dad said was the owner of this store.
Grandpa said, let me call this person the third uncle, but my father said disapprovingly, just call him a bastard. Because of this sentence, my father also slapped my grandfather.
I don't know what my dad has to do with him, but since he is defecting to someone's house, I decided to be polite, and I stepped forward and shouted to the store: "Is the third uncle here?" ”
Third uncle, it was my grandfather who asked me to shout.
No one in the shop responded, but someone in the back room seemed to be talking. I thought about it and walked into the store. As soon as he stood firm, he saw two people coming out of the back room.
One of them had a white beard, wore a tunic suit, and had a respectful face. The other man had a sallow face, drooping eyes, and always looked sickly.
But when he saw me standing in the doorway, he raised his eyelids slightly and looked at me, and at that moment, I saw that his eyes were very bright, and he did not look sick at all.
Then I heard him say, "Are you a child of the old Zhang family?" ”
I hurriedly said, "Third uncle, my name is Zhang Jiusin, and grandpa asked me to come to you." ”
