Chapter 222‖ Lou's Family (2)
Looking at Lou Hongyi, who looked sad and sad, Zheng Zhendong was a little confused.
I really couldn't figure out what was going on, and I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't come up with a reason.
I can't help but think about it.
I couldn't help but guess in my heart, could it be that Leng Rushuang is Lou Hongyi's illegitimate daughter?
Probably not, or it's too bloody!
But if not, then why is Lou Hongyi so sad!
It's fucking weird!
Looks like you really have to ask!
Seeing that Lou Hongyi's mood was a little more stable, Zheng Zhendong asked cautiously: "Uncle Lou, what is going on?" If it's convenient, can you tell me about it? ”
At this time, Lou Hongyi was sad and sad, with mixed feelings in his heart, and he was feeling unhappy.
But for a while, I didn't know how to talk about it, so I could only sigh deeply.
Lou Hongyi pondered again and again, and finally said: "Actually, there is nothing to hide, the cold girl you are talking about is after an old friend of mine, but for various reasons, there has been no contact for many years." ”
Although it was different from what Zheng Zhendong thought, this time aroused his curiosity, and he felt that there must be a secret in it.
After all, Lou and Leng, in the entire Sijiu City back then, they were also figures with heads and faces.
The old man, if there is an enemy, he is also an old man, and if he has a favor, he is also an old man, but I don't know which one it is.
Wealthy grievances?
Father-son feud?
Rivers and lakes vendetta?
Is there a grudge or a grudge?
No matter which one of these things they were, they all aroused Zheng Zhendong's curiosity, and his heart was like a hundred claws scratching his heart, and he wanted to know now what was going on.
So he couldn't sit still any longer and continued to ask, "Can you tell us why?" ”
"My father and I are friends for eight worships, and we are the kind of brothers who can change lives.
The two of us supported each other, helped each other, and the business became bigger and bigger.
But there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good fortune and misfortune, and then the small book entered the city of Sijiu, because he was unwilling to do things for the small book, he was caught by the small book in the gendarmerie.
Although I didn't think of a way, and I didn't spend less money, but in the end he still ended up with a tragic death.
Because of this incident, the Leng family finally hid, and even I don't know where they went.
Later, although I inquired about the news of the Leng family in many ways, I don't know why, they always avoided me, hey......"
As he spoke, Lou Hongyi sobbed, and it was obvious that he had fallen into the memories of the past at this time.
Zheng Zhendong didn't expect things to be like this, he was shocked, he didn't expect things to be like this, what a big drama!
Looking at the sad Lou Hongyi, Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but sigh that life is impermanent, and everything has changed.
Although the Leng family is engaged in gray business, it is not comparable to ordinary people just because they don't do things for a small book.
Sighing, Zheng Zhendong opened his mouth to persuade: "Uncle Lou, it's all over, you want to open a little, we should look forward, shouldn't we?" ”
"Hey..." sighed deeply, Lou Hongyi gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and smiled embarrassedly: "You're right, it's all over, thank you!" ”
Zheng Zhendong waved his hand, "You're polite, Uncle Lou!" ”
Lou Hongyi was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "I want to trouble you with something, Xiao Zheng!" ”
Although he didn't know what Lou Hongyi was talking about, Zheng Zhendong couldn't refuse, so he had to say: "You said Uncle Lou!" ”
Seeing Zheng Zhendong agree, Lou Hongyi's face instantly looked much better.
I saw that his eyes were blazing, as if he had made a lot of determination, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Next time if you see Miss Leng again, you must tell her that I agreed to what she said in the letter, let her come to me directly, please!" ”
Although he was curious about what was written in the letter, Zheng Zhendong didn't want to ask too much, after all, this kind of secret is not allowed to be said, and it is better to pretend not to know if you ask.
Zheng Zhendong felt that it was just a message, which was not a big deal, so he nodded happily: "Okay, Uncle Lou, I know!" ”
Seeing Zheng Zhendong nodding in agreement, Lou Hongyi laughed happily, and then changed the conversation and asked, "Xiao Zheng, how are you doing?" Where do you work, I heard Lao Lin say that you came in a jeep when you came, it seems that you are doing well! ”
Zheng Zhendong said with a humble face: "Uncle Lou, you are really praised, I am really ashamed, I am just doing miscellaneous work in the Industrial Bureau, I really can't afford to be praised by you so much!" ”
"Bureau of Industry?" Lou Hongyi couldn't help but be a little surprised, after thinking for a while, he said with a smile: "This unit is really good, the director of your bureau also knows me, if you need help, just go to him, I think he will sell me a few thin noodles!" ”
"Okay Uncle Lou, if there is a need, it will be indispensable to trouble you when the time comes!" Zheng Zhendong nodded again and again in agreement.
In fact, Zheng Zhendong also knows that this is just a polite remark from others, there is no need to take it seriously, otherwise he will not become a fool.
In this way, the two sides come and go, drinking tea, chatting, and talking about their own things.
The two chatted a few more words, and at this time the meal was already served on the table, and the servant came over and asked, "Sir, the meal has been prepared, do you want to invite the guests over for dinner?" ”
"Okay, I got it." Lou Hongyi waved his hand, and after the servant respectfully retreated, he got up and smiled at Zheng Zhendong and said, "Xiao Zheng, let's eat, let's talk while eating, please!" ”
Zheng Zhendong had to push it up again, but under Lou Hongyi's repeated insistence, he had no choice but to be respectful and obedient, and came to the table half-pushed.
I saw that the table was full of dishes, although it was not a top-notch meal such as abalone, sea cucumber and shark fin bird's nest.
But there are also a lot of dishes that are not available during the New Year.
Pork, mutton, beef, these meat products are not lacking.
You don't have to think about it to know that these things must have been bought from the pigeon market or the black market.
You must know that this is the era of buying meat tickets, and you can buy as much meat as you have at home, and you can't buy more meat if you want to.
There is so much meat for sale on the black market, but the price is not cheap, and a big family like the Lou family can afford it.
Wine is also good wine, 53-year-old Jinlun Moutai, red background and Phnom Penh; The upper left corner is the Golden Wheel trademark.
In the middle is a red letter on a white background: "Kweichow Maotai Wine" is attached with black and white diagonal lines above and below, making it three-dimensional.
Among them, the noble character is the traditional Chinese "expensive" character, and the Taiwanese character is the "moss" character; The bronzing part above the oblique line is printed with the words "well-known at home and abroad" in black; The book in the lower right corner: "Produced by the state-owned Renhuai Distillery", and the date on the back is printed "1953 month and day".
Although the current price of this bottle of wine is not very expensive, the retail price is only 2.84 yuan, but it was sold for a sky-high price of 3.9 million yuan in later generations.
Looking at such an arrogant table, Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The heart said, no wonder the Lou family will cause others to be jealous, just this kind of extravagant life, no matter who sees it, it is estimated that the heart is not balanced.
It seems that too much money is not good, although it can meet the social needs of human beings and provide excellent living conditions, but if you are unable to protect it, it is easy to cause trouble.
This is like a child holding gold to pass the market, causing others to prying eyes.
It's not a sin to be rich, but if you are too rich and don't control it, it's really hard to say.
After all, throughout the ages, it is not uncommon for the emperor to have his head cut off because of his wealth.
Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, a rich person like Shen Wansan, was not killed by him if he said to kill him, as the so-called husband is not guilty, but he is guilty, this is the truth.
Looking at the table full of dishes, this really responds to that sentence, Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.
In this era when ordinary people can't get enough to eat, such a luxurious life, no wonder everyone's hearts are unbalanced.
The Lou family will have an accident later, although it is due to the influence of the general environment, but if it has nothing to do with this kind of living habits, no one will believe it.
Looking at Zheng Zhendong, who was silent and standing on the spot, Lou Hongyi hurriedly smiled and persuaded: "Xiao Zheng, don't be stunned, hurry up and sit down!" ”
Zheng Zhendong nodded: "Alas, okay Uncle Lou! ”
After watching Zheng Zhendong sit down, Lou Hongyi also sat on the main seat, and said apologetically: "I didn't know if you came today, and the family didn't make some preparations in advance, let's make do with it first!" ”
"So many dishes are still called improvised? Uncle Lou, you're really kidding! Although he knew that Lou Hongyi was saying polite words, Zheng Zhendong was still taken aback, and said again: "Just the two of us to eat?" What about Aunt Tan and Sister Xiao'e? ”
Lou Hongyi: "They are not at home, your Aunt Tan took Xiao'e out to meet friends, and it is estimated that she will not be able to come back for a while." ”
"I see." Zheng Zhendong nodded slightly, and then asked, "But how did the two of us finish eating so many dishes?" Isn't it too wasteful, Uncle Lou! ”
Lou Hongyi didn't care, just listened to him say casually: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you can't finish eating, the people below will deal with it, you don't have to worry about it!"
Come on, it's the first time for the two of us to sit down and eat together, so let's have a drink first! ”
Seeing that Lou Hongyi was so enthusiastic, Zheng Zhendong hurriedly stood up, touched him, and then drank it all.
The two drank a few glasses, and gradually let go, and then opened the conversation box and chatted with wine.
Maybe it's because of the wine to kill the sorrows, maybe it's because there is no one to tell the bitterness in my heart, I have already suffocated Lou Hongyi, and after a few glasses of wine, I can't control my mouth directly.
After chatting for a few words, he opened his mouth and asked, "Xiao Zheng, what should our family do from now on?" The state won't let us do business, what do you think I should do? You can't just wait to die, right? ”
After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Zheng Zhendong to answer, and said again with depression and melancholy: "When will such a day be a head!" "Uncle Lou is cautious, don't say anything!"
Zheng Zhendong frowned slightly, looked at Lou Hongyi, who was a little drunk, and said cautiously: "If your words are heard by others, do you know what the consequences are?" ”
At this time, Lou Hongyi also came to his senses, and hurriedly wiped the cold sweat that came out of his forehead, and said with a palpitation: "Xiao Zheng, you see that I really drank too much, and I started to talk nonsense, don't take it to heart!" ”
"Uncle Lou, Uncle Lou!" Zheng Zhendong saw Lou Hongyi's frightened expression, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, I won't tell others, but you have to pay attention to what you say in the future, after all, if you really meet that kind of person who loves more seriously, you are afraid that you will cause great trouble at that time!" ”
"Understood, understood, I will pay attention from now on, don't worry!" Lou Hongyi nodded again and again, and then asked Zheng Zhendong to eat.
Despite this, Lou Hongyi was still uneasy, and he always felt a little frightened, as if something was going to happen in the next second.
The two drank a few more glasses, and when they saw that the time was almost up, after they were full of wine and food, Zheng Zhendong got up and said goodbye.
"Xiao Zheng, don't be in a hurry to leave, uncle still has a few words to ask you, let's talk here!" As Lou Hongyi spoke, he raised his hand and led forward, motioning for Zheng Zhendong to follow him to the study.
Although he didn't understand what Lou Hongyi meant, seeing that he was so solemn, Zheng Zhendong had no choice but to follow.
After the two entered the study, they first said a few polite words, and seeing that the time was almost up, Lou Hongyi got to the point.
"Heh, heh," Lou Hongyi's expression was a little gloomy, and he asked with a dry smile: "You also know the situation of my family, I won't go into details, do you think the national policy will change again?" ”
"What do you mean?" Although he heard the meaning of the words, Zheng Zhendong still asked tentatively.
"This year, because of the surname Hu, there are a lot of people who have been arrested, and I am afraid of being implicated." A cold sweat broke out on Lou Hongyi's face again, obviously what happened this year really scared him.
"Are you still in touch with him?" Zheng Zhendong was also taken aback, his own little arms and legs can't afford to toss, if that's the case, he has to pay attention, after all, it is a case that has been decided, whoever touches it is unlucky.
Lou Hongyi hurriedly waved his hand and denied: "No, no, no, how could I have something to do with him, it's too late to hide, I'm just scared by this situation, and I just have a shadow in my heart!"
After all, the ingredients of my family are here, and I'm afraid that when the time comes, they will be indiscriminate and deal with people like us! ”
Hearing that it had nothing to do with that incident, Zheng Zhendong breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but feel a sense of the aftermath in his heart.
When he read the newspaper before, he saw that there was a lot of uproar, and even the old man came out to speak, which was not a trivial matter, for fear of causing trouble.
After hearing Lou Hongyi's assurance, Zheng Zhendong finally calmed down, and hurriedly spoke to comfort: "Don't worry about this, I'm not a flood beast, just put your heart in your stomach!"
"Hoo ......"
Lou Hongyi gasped for a while, and when his face finally calmed down, he hurriedly said: "That's good, that's good, you don't know, I don't dare to go out recently, for fear that someone accidentally said the wrong thing and caused a lot of trouble!" ”
