Chapter 3 Under the Golden Post
After the separation, Chen Yunuo walked along the village road, and between the cars, there were constantly car owners honking their horns to urge, which made people upset. This kind of scene is also common during the Chinese New Year, so he has seen it for granted.
Chen Yunuo took out the earbuds from his pocket and put them on, opened his mobile phone and played his favorite songs, listening and walking, away from the noise. After walking for a short distance, he saw five or six identical black SUVs parked in front of his house.
Chen Yunuo approached the front of his compound and found more than a dozen people in black suits standing in his compound. Just when he wanted to ask who this group of black-clothed people was, all the people in suits in the courtyard bowed ninety degrees to him and shouted, "Young Master." ”
Such a shout frightened Chen Yunuo and ran to the house inside. He pushed open the door and saw an old man with gray hair standing in the hall, bowing and bending over to his grandmother what looked like a gold post.
"Second old lady, you see that I am this age, you can take this golden post." The old man persuaded.
The old man kept bending over and didn't dare to straighten up, but he could see that his hands were shaking all the time, and he should have been in this posture for a long time with his grandmother.
"You! The person who has already stepped into the coffin with half his feet still accepts the job given by Wang Zhenguo, and he deserves it. Grandma scolded.
"If I don't come in person, I don't think the little ones outside won't even be able to enter my cousin's compound." The old man straightened his waist and continued to maintain the movement just now.
Grandma's cousin? In this case, we are still a family of relatives, he is a handful of years, it is really uncomfortable to bend over like this, and grandma's personality is very strong, even if the Jade Emperor comes, it is okay if she doesn't want to do anything.
If Chen Yunuo didn't go over to help this old man, he was worried that this old man's old waist would really be wasted, and our poor clanged loudly, in case he had any accidents, he couldn't afford it.
Chen Yunuo bypassed the old man's front and took the golden post.
"Uh......" He looked at the old man again and again, this old man is well-dressed, and the family should be quite rich, but to avoid people thinking that he wants to climb relatives, so after thinking for a while, it is more appropriate not to call him cousin, but uncle, he bowed to the old man and said, "Uncle, you can go back, I will give the post to grandma." ”
"You bear child, who asked you to take it, return him, return it to him." Zhang Xinyan saw that Chen Yunuo took the gold post, so angry that she immediately stood up from the chair and scolded.
"Grandma, you see him ...... You're old, right? Just look at what's inside? If you don't want to go and give it back to him, okay? Chen Yunuo comforted and persuaded at the same time.
I always thought that the owner of the invitation was just someone my grandmother didn't want to meet, but when I learned the ins and outs, he realized that he was sloppy, or very sloppy.
"Cousin, I won't disturb your grandparents and grandchildren's reunion, I'll go back first, and I'll pick you up in three days." The old man was afraid that the golden post he had finally sent would be turned back, so he hurriedly said a few words and quickly turned around and left.
"Nuo'er, Nuo'er, this gold post can't be connected, can't be connected." Zhang Xinyan shook her head angrily and slapped the table and lamented.
Chen Yunuo saw his grandmother's eyes full of tears, and she was very sad. It seems that he is really in trouble this time, he knelt down and grabbed his grandmother's hand with both hands and said, "Grandma, did I do something wrong?" I'll go and return the gold post now, okay? ”
Grandma shook her head and said, "It's useless, taking the golden post is to acquiesce to the fact that people must go there regardless of life or death." ”
"This is already a society under the rule of law, so can there be such a domineering thing?" Chen Yunuo said in disbelief.
"Yunuo, we haven't seen each other for months, let grandma see if you're thin." Zhang Xinyan took out a pair of reading glasses from her pocket and put them on herself, looked Chen Yunuo up and down with her eyes for a long time and said, "My grandson has lost weight, and he must not have eaten well at school." ”
"Grandma, you're here again, why do you always like to skip questions." Every time Chen Yunuo was interested in wanting to know something, his grandmother would change other topics to prevaricate him, and he couldn't do anything to her, so he had to complain.
That night, Grandma told Chen Yunuo to pack up his important belongings in the past few days, and said that they might leave here for a while. He asked his grandmother, where are they going? Grandma told him that when he went, he would naturally know, and grandma said that it was okay to go somewhere? The more she did this, the more curious he was about that place.
On the afternoon of the next day, Chen Yunuo brought some pastries made by his grandmother to Boss Zhou, and by the way, he resigned from the part-time job he promised during this holiday.
Along the way, Chen Yunuo found that from the moment he stepped out of the house, there were many unfamiliar faces along the road, he had grown up in this village since he was a child, and he was very familiar with the people in the village. Their village is not large, and they don't run many shops, and almost all of them come in and out of their own village. He carefully identified them, and found that they were the same people who were in the courtyard of his house yesterday, and these people were not afraid that he and his grandmother would escape, so they came to monitor them.
After dealing with Boss Zhou's affairs, Chen Yunuo hurried home to tell his grandmother what happened on the road.
"Grandma, did you offend the person who gave you the golden post before? Am I causing you a big problem? Chen Yunuo said worriedly.
"You know, I'm scared! See if you dare to assert yourself next time? Zhang Xinyan picked up a cane and knocked on Chen Yunuo's head and said.
Chen Yunuo rubbed his head vigorously and said, "Then what should I do now?" Shall we run away? Oops! Before he finished speaking, he was knocked by his grandmother again.
"I'm old, where can I escape?" Zhang Xinyan saw Yu Nuo squatting on the ground and rubbing his head with both hands, smiled and said, "You kid, you are usually smart, why are you so stupid in the past two days?" Instead of spying on, they protect us covertly. ”
"Protect us? Grandma, do you have more than one enemy? Chen Yunuo asked.
"There has always been only one enemy of ours." Zhang Xinyan looked up at the night sky, the breeze gently blew away her snow-white hair, but it did not blow away the sad face on her face.
Chen Yunuo can feel that since the moment he received the gold post yesterday, grandma has been worried, grandma is not worried about himself, but about him, because those people want him to be the person, grandma doesn't want him to go with them, but this time he can't rely on grandma anymore, in fact, he deliberately took the gold post yesterday.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I remember one day in the second year of junior high school, the last class that afternoon was physical education, and Chen Yunuo didn't like the physical education teacher who was substitute for the class, so he skipped class and went home. Before returning home, he saw that the courtyard was full of men in black suits, all of them had serious expressions, and some of them looked fierce, Chen Yunuo didn't dare to enter from the main entrance, so he secretly climbed over the fence from the back of the courtyard to enter, and he leaned on a half-hidden window outside the house to peek inside.
A man took a golden post and handed it to Chen Yunuo's father and said, "Young Master, Master ordered you and Little Master to go back to their home." ”
"Uncle Huo, I can go back with you, but my son must stay here." Chen Yinan said.
Uncle Huo sighed and said, "Young master, the master said that if you don't go back this time, the little master will have to go back, you should know that the master is imperative this time." ”
Zhang Xinyan looked at Huo Gaoheng with a solemn expression and said, "Old Huo! Is there really no room for a turn over there? ”
Huo Gaoheng shook his head and said: "Sister Xin, I will persuade what I should persuade, and I will persuade you if I shouldn't, now the affairs of this family are more serious and complicated, and the young master should bring the little young master back." ”
"No, I can't let them go with you." Zhang Xinyan not only didn't listen to persuasion, but also picked up the crutches in her hand and pushed Huo Gaoheng out of the door and said, "You go, take all your people away." ”
"Sister Xin, you know the consequences of not accepting the golden post, why are you so tough, I promise you, as long as I am still in the day, I will do my best to protect them." Huo Gaoheng said with both hands blocking Chen Xinyan's crutches.
"Second old lady, please let us complete this mission." The black-clothed men outside all knelt down on one knee in the courtyard with their hands clenched into fists, bowing their heads and shouting.
"Shut up, it's not your turn to speak here." Zhang Xinyan scolded angrily.
"Mom, let me take Yunuo back." Chen Yinan comforted his wife Zhang Lingxi, who was already in tears, and then walked up to his grandmother, knelt down on his knees in front of his grandmother and said the decision he had made.
"Yinan, you ......"
Chen Yinan kowtowed to Zhang Xinyan and said, "Thank you for taking care of me all the time and allowing me to escape from decades of trouble." ”
He looked up at Zhang Xinyan and smiled slightly and said, "What should come will come eventually, and this time I want to solve it myself." ”
Zhang Xinyan saw that Chen Yinan had made up her mind, so she put down the crutches in her hand and said to Huo Gaoheng: "What you say must be done, otherwise I won't let you go if I am a ghost." ”
"Trust me, as soon as the matter is over, I will bring them back to you unscathed." Huo Gaoheng raised his right hand and made an oath gesture and said.
Chen Yunuo waited outside the house for the group to disperse, and then pretended to have just come home from school to enter the house. He sat on the chair and pretended to eat the melon seeds on the table as if nothing had happened, in fact, he was very much expecting that his grandmother or father would talk to him about what had just happened, but he waited for a long time and they still didn't say a word. Later, my brother came back, and my father called my brother into the room and chatted for a while before coming out.
Tonight was about the same as usual, after everyone had eaten and talked for a while, he was driven back to his room by his father to do his homework, until about 11 o'clock, when his father knocked on the door and came in.
"Son, have you done your homework? Going to sleep? Chen Yinan sat on the Yunuo bed and said.
Chen Yunuo smiled at his father and said, "Did you snore too loudly and were kicked out by your mother again?" ”
Chen Yinan grabbed a pillow and put it away, then lay on the bed and said, "Yes, so Dad is going to sleep with you tonight." ”
"Dad, don't ......" He was about to refuse to sleep together, but thinking of this afternoon's incident, Chen Yunuo guessed if his father wanted to take this opportunity to talk to him, he smiled at his father and said, "You don't snore so loudly." ”
Chen Yunuo quickly sorted out his schoolbag, lay on the bed, looked at Chen Yinan like a listener and said, "Dad, let's talk for a while, you talk first." ”
"Say what? Silly boy, go to sleep, I have to go to school tomorrow. Chen Yinan touched Yu Nuo's head, then pulled the quilt and covered it, turned his head back to Yu Nuo and pretended to be asleep.
After entering the room, Chen Yinan's heart went through several struggles, and finally he felt that he should not tell Yu Nuo about his family, he was still young and should have grown up happily like an ordinary child.
"No, Dad, you really want to sleep......" Chen Yunuo almost collapsed when he heard his father's snoring, he really wanted to wake up his father, and then ask about today's matter, but he skipped class today, and if his father knew about the eavesdropping, he saw that his two legs were not enough for his father to smoke. Alas, it seems that we will have to wait until tomorrow morning to get up and take care of my grandmother's words. It was freezing on this day, and he still hurried to play chess with Zhou Gong.
Chen Yunuo sent a strange dream in a daze, this dream scared him out of a cold sweat, he picked up the mobile phone on the bedside and looked at the time, it was still early at 6:00, he turned around to look at his father who slept next to him last night, there was no one on the bed. He hurriedly ran out of the hall to look for it, but there was no one, and he ran to his brother's room to take a look, but there was no one, he ran out of the gate, the street was silent, the cold wind of the winter morning was biting, he curled up and squatted at the door, his eyes stared at the street, and his mouth kept saying to himself, why? Why did Dad throw him down without saying a word?
I don't know when Zhang Lingxi took a blanket out of the house and draped it on Yu Nuo and said, "Nuo'er, this is a letter left by your father, you can go into the house and take a look, it's cold outside." ”
Chen Yunuo picked up the letter his father gave him and immediately opened it.
My son promises:
When you read this letter, my father and my brother have already left home for a long time, please forgive my father for saying goodbye, and forgive my father for not taking you with you. When I'm not at home, you have to take care of your mom and grandma instead of dad, you know? And next time, don't skip class again, be a man with commitments.
dad
It turned out that Dad knew about his peeking yesterday, Dad should have his last resort if he didn't bring himself, Dad should be such a shrewd person who should come back soon after dealing with things. Chen Yunuo shouted loudly at the street entrance: Dad, don't worry, I will definitely take care of my mother and grandma, and I will also be a man with responsibilities, you come back quickly.
