Chapter 49: Unexpected Joy

"How did you know Zhao Yanfang?"

Grandpa seemed to realize something, and asked in a trembling voice, "Child, are you...... Do you know him? You are ......"

The driver nodded honestly and said lightly: "Well, I know, but he's dead." ”

"What? He's dead? Grandpa's voice was desolate and incredulous, "Impossible! How old was he, how could he die? ”

"He's been dead for three or four years. He died in a car accident," the driver looked at the crowd again, "what are you looking for him?" Do you really have relatives, or do you want to pay the account? ”

Grandpa didn't answer, but hurriedly stretched his head from the back seat and asked the driver, "Then do you know where his house is now?" Is there anyone else in his family? ”

"He also had two sons, the eldest of whom went to Germany and never came back. There is still a second son left in the family. There's no one anymore. ”

"And where does his family live? Can you take us there? Grandpa was very excited, and Wang Xuanxuan was busy beside him.

"I know I know, but I ......" The driver hesitated, as if he was in a difficult position.

"Then take us there, take us there!" Grandpa's voice trembled, and his hands grabbed his pants vigorously, as if he was grasping something important.

The driver hesitated for a moment, and finally pouted, "Come on, sit down!" ”

Along the way, grandpa endured his grief and tried hard to pretend to be strong, Wang Xuanxuan thought: Grandpa must be thinking and praying hard, this news may be fake.

Everyone was speechless, and the driver was driving more and more remotely.

Sitting and sitting, Zhang Min secretly gave Wang Xuanxuan a look. sent WeChat again: This person shouldn't be a liar, right?

Wang Xuanxuan looked at the increasingly remote and desolate scenery, and was also a little scared. I can't finally get rich by myself, and before I enjoy life, I am inexplicably given by others......

Wang Xuanxuan secretly took out her mobile phone and wanted to take a sneaky photo of the driver.

didn't think about it, because I was so nervous, I forgot to turn off the flash, and with a "click", the driver glared at Wang Xuanxuan in the reversing mirror, so scared that Wang Xuanxuan's mobile phone almost fell to the ground.

The driver mocked: "What's the matter, you're afraid that I'll kill for money?" Of the four of you, I'm alone. If you're afraid, I'm afraid! ”

"No, no, I ...... I'm taking a selfie. Wang Xuanxuan stumbled and explained.

The driver glanced at Wang Xuanxuan and began to speak in Mandarin with a Shandong accent: "If I hadn't been kind enough to come back to pick you up, you would be standing until dark now, and you wouldn't be able to wait for the car, and you would still be spending time in the wilderness!" It's funny that you still think of me like that. The heart of a villain! ”

Wang Xuanxuan and Zhang Min looked at each other and didn't dare to squeak. But on the mobile phone, the three numbers of 110 have been pressed and are ready at any time.

"Don't be afraid, I'm a serious car, a serious business." The driver looked at the back row through the rear mirror, and said in his mouth: "Zhang Yanfang is a brother, and there is a younger brother, who has been gone for many years, there is a sister above, their family lives in the east of Hanshan Village, the third from the bottom, the surname Cao in the front yard, is a fortune teller, and the surname Wang next door, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Tears welled up in Grandpa's excited eyes. "How do you know? Whose family are you a descendant? ”

The driver snorted coldly and stopped the car next to the side of the road, "It's here, get out of the car, it's here." ”

"This?" Wang Xuanxuan looked at the two three-story buildings in front of her, there were no dilapidated yards, just like the kind of abandoned buildings.

"Let's go, their family lives on the second floor." The driver closed the door and led the way in front.

Wang Xuanxuan already believed him at this time, supporting her grandfather, Zhang Min and Wang Dazhuang followed behind. Step by step, I walked inside, looking at my surroundings as I went. This building should be very old, and the steel bars are exposed in some places, and the walls of the corridor are falling white wall skin with a pop. The handrails of the stairs trembled, as if they were about to strike in the next second.

There should be no one living in the building, it is very desolate. In some places, the cobwebs are already thick.

It is said that as soon as everyone went up to the second floor, they heard a woman shouting while picking vegetables in the corridor: "Qiangzi, why did you come back so early today?" ”

"Auntie, I'll bring you someone, you see if you know it." The driver turned sideways, revealing Wang Xuanxuan and the others behind him. "Listening to the accent, I should be from the Northeast, and I want to find my dad by name."

"Looking for your dad?"

"Zhang Yanfang is your father?"

Everyone was stunned, staring at each other in surprise.

The driver nodded. "Yes, my father's name is Zhang Yanfang, and he lives in Hanshan Village. My name is Zhang Qiang, this is my aunt, the only elder in my family now. Who the hell are you? If you do anything, you will say. If my aunt doesn't know, then no one can know. ”

Hearing this, the woman slowly stood up, wiped her hands, and squinted her eyes and took two steps forward. "You are ......"

Grandpa pointed at the woman with a trembling finger and asked with great certainty, "You are Xiaofeng, right?" ”

The woman nodded. "You are ......"

"Xiaofeng, why are you so old." With trembling hands, Grandpa took out a black and white photo from the top pocket of his tunic and said excitedly: "Look at this, do you still know it?" ”

The woman took the photo suspiciously, squinted her eyes and looked at it for a long time. "Didn't my dad take me to take pictures when I was a kid? How did it end up with you? ”

Grandpa was so excited at this time that he couldn't speak at all, but he just pointed his finger at himself.

The driver also poked his head out just now and craned his neck to look, "This is when my grandfather was young?" ”

The woman nodded desperately, "This is the first time my grandfather took me into the photo studio to take pictures when I was five years old, I remember very clearly, a total of two washes." One is still with me, and the other is in the mail......"

"Could it be that you are the second uncle?" That woman, no, Zhang Xiaofeng asked tentatively: "Are you the second uncle who went to the Northeast?" ”

Grandpa nodded excitedly, and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Eldest nephew!" Big niece daughter! I'm the second uncle! It's the second uncle! ”

"Second uncle, is it really you? You're back? Obviously, Zhang Xiaofeng was also very excited, and hurriedly pushed open the door and beckoned: "Fast forward, fast forward!" Qiangzi, go and pour water for your second uncle. ”

"It's really my own relative!" Zhang Qiang grinned in disbelief. "On the way, I thought, who is this? I haven't heard that our family knows anyone in the Northeast! Dare to love me, I forgot you, second uncle. ”

"It's not to blame this child, my dad left when this kid was born, and he didn't see his grandfather in person. My younger brother doesn't like to talk either, and the children may forget about the older generation. Zhang Xiaofeng explained.

"Good boy, this child is good, if it weren't for this child, we wouldn't have found it, and we almost missed it." Grandpa waved his hand and said with emotion: "It's fate!" ”

"yes, yes!" Everyone sighed, this is really fateful.

After everyone introduced each other, the grandfather hurriedly asked, "Eldest nephew, I heard this child on the way, why did my eldest nephew leave?" So who's left in the house? Why didn't anyone send me a letter? ”

Zhao Xiaofeng sighed. "It's been four years, and if there was no car accident, the person left directly, the other party is a poor ghost, and he compensated 150,000 yuan, and it's over. I wrote to your second uncle, but there was no reply, thinking that it might have been lost on the road. I didn't leave a phone number back then, so I couldn't get in touch. ”

He said: "There is no one in the family, just me and Qiangzi, my husband and children were sick in the early years and left." He also has an older brother who went to study in Germany, and he stayed there, a white-eyed wolf, and her father didn't come back when he was gone, and he didn't even have a letter in the past few years. This child is stupid, all the money in the family was given to his brother back then, and the compensation money was given to me again, and he didn't keep any of it, and he still took care of me as a burden. ”

"Auntie, what are you talking about? I'm just your relative, don't say this, I don't like to hear it. Hadron said immediately.

"Alas! Why is it so miserable...... White-haired people send black-haired people! Grandpa looked at the house of less than 60 square meters, and asked with sadness, "How did you live here?" This is not as strong as our hometown? ”

"The old houses have been picked, and the piece is said to be developed into a scenic area, and no one will be allowed to live in it." Zhang Qiang explained: "We got a compensation that year, and we didn't suffer a loss, but my father was not willing to spend it. This is the factory that my aunt used to share, and there is an empty house, so we live here. ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Zhang Xiaofeng said: "There is still a yard in my hometown, what can I plant, but now, I have to buy everything, and I will spend money every day." ”

Wang Xuanxuan could see that they were not doing well, and she expected that her grandfather could also see it.

"The eldest niece, are you retired now?"

"Retreated, retreated a long time ago." Zhang Xiaofeng laughed at himself: "I have worked all my life, and I have fallen ill." Retirement is not enough money for these two to take medicine. The child is gone, and I don't want to live for a long time, if it weren't for Qiang Zifei pulling me to wash clothes and cook for him, I would have gone with the dead ghost in my house. ”

Zhang Qiang angrily put the teacup in his hand on the table, "Auntie, you say this again!" There are only two of us in our family, and if you leave, then I won't be alive anymore. ”

"Look at this kid!" Zhang Xiaofeng hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, auntie don't talk about it, don't say it, auntie still has to live well, watch you marry a daughter-in-law, give birth to a child, and then aunt will bring you a child." ”

"It used to be before, but now in our family, aren't there more people? Do you see so many mouthfuls? Wang Xuanxuan interrupted the sad atmosphere and asked Zhang Qiang, "It seems that I should call you second brother, right?" ”

"Yes, I'm many years older than you, just call me brother, you can't see the eldest brother, what a second brother!" Zhang Qiang immediately softened his tone, with the unique character of a northern man - a bold atmosphere, and some natural doting on his sister.

Wang Xuanxuan deliberately said arrogantly: "I have wanted to have a good brother since I was a child, so that I can't be bullied, and now it's so good, I really have a brother." You'll have to protect me in the future. ”

Zhang Qiang immediately patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, in the future, my sister's business will be my brother's business, if anyone dares to bully you, I will beat him to death." ”

"Thank you, brother." Wang Xuanxuan smiled sweetly. "Brother, then you happen to have a car, don't work these days, take us around."

"What's the matter, for sure." Zhang Qiang agreed in one bite. "By the way, what do you do, girl?"

"Your sister-in-law is a painter, and she can make a lot of money, so you take your sister-in-law to see our hometown in Shandong and let her paint." Grandpa was very happy to see that the two children would soon be able to talk together, and said to the two descendants with a loving face: "You are all children of our family, and you will help each other in the future." ”

"That's natural, I've always wanted to have a sister." Zhang Qiang looked at Wang Xuanxuan with admiration, "Sister, you are so powerful!" In the morning, I saw that my teeth were sharp, but I didn't see that there were still such hands. ”

"You're burying me!" Wang Xuanxuan shook her fist and deliberately grinned: "Brother, do you want to compare?" ”

"Don't, don't, I'm thick-skinned, don't hurt your little fist."

The crowd burst out laughing.
