It turned out that when Lu Tao heard Ma Haolei say that he was going to Wucheng, he thought of what happened to Ma Haolei in his previous life.

Ma Haolei is actually the heir of the Ma family of the Wucheng family, and the child born to his father's first wife.

It's just that after giving birth to Ma Haolei, his mother left the world early due to some unexpected reasons.

After this incident, Ma Haolei's father married another one, and they all said that his stepmother was like a jackal, that is, after this stepmother became pregnant with a child, he began to exclude Ma Haolei.

Therefore, when Ma Haolei was in high school, he was sent to Jiangshan County to study, and after that, he rarely had the opportunity to return to Wucheng.

This time, Ma Haolei's grandfather was going to celebrate his birthday and had to reunite with the whole family, so they asked him to go back.

Ma Haolei also spent a lot of money on the eve of his grandfather's birthday banquet to get an antique that his grandfather particularly liked.

I just want to take this opportunity to use this antique to win the favor of my grandfather at the birthday banquet, so as to further get more support from the family.

It's just that Ma Haolei was put on a show by his younger brother or his stepmother.

They bought off the driver he trusted very much, repackaged Ma Haolei's suitcase, and deliberately delayed time, so that Ma Haolei did not have time to check in advance.

When Ma Haolei rushed to the birthday banquet, he took out the box directly from the suitcase and offered it because of the urgency of time, but when he opened the Dong box, what was hidden inside was actually a bloody dog head.

On the day of Daqing, sending a bloody dog's head is obviously unlucky to the extreme.

The old man who was angry on the spot fainted directly.

However, after Ma Haolei was kicked out, his younger brother took the antique that originally belonged to Ma Haolei and won the favor of the old man.

Since then, Ma Haolei has been even more marginalized by his family.

When it came out, everyone said that Ma Haolei was not capable, but in fact, those who knew knew that in the big family, whoever can succeed in the position is the winner, otherwise there will be no pants left for losing.

Hearing Lu Tao ask himself, Ma Haolei replied

"yes, I'm going to give it a try."

Ma Haolei's matter, he had told Lu Tao before, so he was not surprised that Lu Tao knew.

He also gestured to the snacks in his hand: "I'm not buying some special snacks for the children over there." ”

It's just that Lu Tao didn't answer his words and said some words of blessing, but said with a serious face:

"Hao Lei, I once occasionally heard from a gambling friend that your driver seems to have a problem, you must be careful."

Lu Tao felt that Ma Haolei, as his friend, was really unreasonable if he didn't remind him.

"What?" Ma Haolei frowned when he heard this, but he didn't understand what Lu Tao meant.

After a while, he smiled and said, "It's okay, you may be mistaken, my driver, I know everything and will be fine." If you still don't believe the words of your gambling friends, they must be running trains with their mouths full. ”

Seeing that Ma Haolei didn't seem to care at all, Lu Tao continued: "En...... Did you buy an inkstone for your grandfather? ”

Ma Haolei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, if just now, Lu Tao occasionally listened to those gamblers running the train, then how could Lu Tao know such details about this matter?

He furrowed his brow tightly.

However, Lu Tao seemed to be fine, and then said:

"In short, you must be careful of your driver when you go to Wucheng this time, there are some things, don't put them in the usual place."

"You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. It's always good to be a little more vigilant. ”

Ma Haolei was skeptical of Lu Tao's words, but in the end he still didn't believe it.

Even in fact, he was a little uncomfortable in his heart, because Lu Tao's words weren't saying that he was wrong in employing people, or that he couldn't recognize people clearly.

In order not to create estrangement, Ma Haolei changed the topic in time: "How about it, why don't you go to my house for dinner tonight?" ”

Lu Tao waved his hand and refused, knowing that Ma Haolei didn't want to talk more about the driver's problem with him, so he also said:

"No need, I still have to go home to cook for them, I'll treat you to a meal another day, so you can taste my craft."

"Good!"

Ma Haolei responded loudly, and when he heard Lu Tao say this, he was even more sure that Lu Tao had improved.

After all, people who gamble no longer have a sense of family, let alone cook for their families.

In the end, in Lu Tao's helpless smile, Ma Haolei forcefully paid Lu Tao's share of the money, and then the two parted ways. Lu Tao looked at Ma Haolei's distant figure, and whispered softly: "Old friend, I hope you must listen to me!" ”

Knowing that Ma Haolei's figure disappeared, Lu Tao stepped on the way to the bus station.

After Ma Haolei returned home, he was busy packing up his things with his wife at home.

At the same time, he and his wife smiled and shared Lu Tao's affairs.

Just didn't say anything about their own driver.

However, thinking of what Lu Tao said just now, he always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he stopped his hand, sat on the edge of the bed, lit a cigarette, and thought about it.

"Hao Lei, can you put this baby box here?"

Just as Ma Haolei was thinking about what Lu Tao said during the day, his wife cautiously came over with the box and was about to put it in his suitcase.

Look at this box that carries your own expectations.

Ma Haolei hesitated, because this matter is too important to him, if he misses this opportunity, he may not be able to return to Wucheng in his life, and he will not be able to enter the inner circle of the family.

He may even be more ostracized by his younger brother in the future.

So the slightest problem should not arise.

"No!"

After pondering for a long time, Ma Haolei immediately refused.

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.

Today, Lu Tao said so carefully, it must not be groundless.

And I feel that Lu Tao is talking today, I really feel a little strange, like a fortune teller?

He snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, took the box, took out the antique from it, carefully wrapped it in a piece of silk cloth, and then wrapped it in a plastic bag and placed it in his wife's red suitcase.

He casually threw the ashtray into the box, and then put it in his suitcase, and drew a small mark on the suitcase.

"Hao Lei, who are you?"

His wife looked confused.

"It's okay, put it like this, rest assured."

Ma Haolei waved his hand.

This night, Ma Haolei didn't sleep well, tossed and turned, and thought about a lot of things.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Ma Haolei and the others had already set off.

Driven by the driver Lao Chen, we went to Wucheng.

It's just that what he didn't know was that as soon as they set off, a black sedan behind them also quietly followed.

After only half an hour of driving, they encountered a major accident on the way to go.

And the handling of the accident was very troublesome, because the two large trucks fell directly to the ground, blocking almost all the lanes.

There was a long queue of cars in front and behind.

Ma Haolei was very anxious: "Is there no other way?" ”

The driver shook his head: "Mr. Ma, we are stuck in the middle of the road now, and there is only such a reliable way to go to Wucheng." ”

"Hey, I hope it's going to be soon, or I'm going to be late."

Just now he received a temporary notice, saying that it was originally given in the afternoon, but now the birthday banquet has been changed to the morning, so their time is even more tight.

Wait in the process.

"Mr. Ma, my water cup fell in the trunk, I'll go get it."

The driver, Lao Chen, suddenly smashed his mouth and got out of the car to get a water cup.

"Go, go."

Ma Haolei didn't think much about it, and waved his hand a little impatiently.

Then I heard the trunk open and close.

Nearly two hours later.

Ma Haolei and the others hurried in a hurry, and finally rushed to the hotel where their grandfather held a birthday banquet.

At this time, there were already quite a few people gathered here.

The birthday banquet has already begun, and even the gift-giving link has come to an end.

"Hao Lei, you're here, I don't know what your gift for your grandfather is!"

"I heard you have a big baby for grandpa!"

Ma Haolei dragged their suitcases into the banquet hall, and his stepmother hurriedly shouted sharply, urging him to give a gift.

With his stepmother's words, everyone looked at Ma Haolei and wondered what treasures he could have.

Because Ma Haolei's stepmother told the old man and all his relatives and friends in advance that he Ma Haolei worked hard to get a good thing in his heart.

also said a bunch of good things about Ma Haolei.

Now everyone wants to see it.

Even the old man on the main seat looked at Ma Haolei with some expectation.

Hearing his stepmother's words, Ma Haolei was not in a hurry, glanced around, did not see his younger brother, and then looked at his suitcase placed on the side, and found that the mark he made was still there.

Rubbing his eyes, he confirmed again, and found that he was really still there.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that Lu Tao had indeed made a mistake.

I thought about it myself.

However, the current scene is not suitable for me to think too much.

But just as Lu Tao was about to open his suitcase, he glanced out of the corner of his eye, but found that his driver, Lao Chen, was gone.

The corner of his eye narrowed. Smiling slightly, he didn't rush to open his suitcase, but got up.

looked at his stepmother: "I don't know, what did Ma Liang give?" I heard that he also started preparing for a long time, so it must be amazing, right? ”

His stepmother said proudly: "No, our family is a good talent, after a year of preparation, I finally found something that the old man likes." ”

"The gift he sent will be ...... in a while"

As she spoke, she turned her head and saw the figure of Ma Liangcai by the side door, and said to the old man Ma on the main seat with a smile: "Dad, then Haolei wants to give everyone an expectation, so let Liangcai send it first." ”

Ma Liangcai had already made a gesture for her just now, which shows that Ma Liangcai had already gotten Ma Haolei's things.

So she thought about letting Ma Liangcai send it directly, and it was okay to be angry with Ma Haolei, I can't say that this little cub will run away in a while, and when the time comes, no one can save it.

As he spoke, Ma Liangcai appeared at the side door and walked in with a box that Ma Haolei was very familiar with.

"Grandpa, the gift that my grandson prepared for you, you must like it, it is a good thing you have always wanted, I paid a high price to get it from out of town!"
