Chapter 230: A Key
"Uncle"
"Zhao Hui"
Cheng Qiao and Cheng Liguo shouted at the same time, uncle knelt down to nephew, if this matter spreads, Cheng Qiao's reputation will be gone.
"I'm sorry, Cheng Qiao, I'm too impulsive, but I can't help it, old man, he ...... He didn't blink an eye. ”
Cheng Qiao sighed, she knew one thing since she studied medicine, when a person's time came, but he had a mind in his heart that he couldn't let go, so he would desperately hang that life and die without blinking his eyes.
This is very cruel to a person who is about to die, not only to endure physical pain, but also to endure mental pain.
"No matter how to get there, we don't have transportation."
Cheng Qiao is still making excuses, she really doesn't want to see this old man, someone she has never seen in her life, what does life and death have to do with her.
"Coincidentally, Dad has already contacted the car, and Dad will accompany you."
Cheng Qiao's eyes lit up, what the old man hated the most was his father, if he saw his father standing in front of him safe and sound, would he feel even more unhappy.
Cheng Liguo and Zhao Hui didn't expect Cheng Qiao's resentment to be so heavy at all, and they thought that she had figured it out, so they quickly packed their luggage.
"Yuan Guangming, please here, we'll be back in two days."
Yuan Guangming nodded again and again, since Cheng Qiao came, their food has at least two levels, and even their chins seem to be a little rounder, so for Cheng Liguo's request, Yuan Guangming is definitely in his heart.
Two days later, the car came to a farm in the northwest, and looking at the house built entirely of thick wood, Cheng Qiao felt that the life of the Zhao family seemed to be passable.
"Dad, Cheng Qiao is here, Zhao Min's daughter is here, by the way, she is still holding Xiao Cheng Li, who is Minmin's grandson."
Zhao Hui pulled Cheng Qiao's sleeve and rushed straight into the house, as soon as Cheng Qiao entered the house, he smelled a smell of decay, which was the smell of a person about to leave.
Then I saw an old man with white hair lying on the kang, his eyes were deep-set and skinny, but his eyes were shining with surprise.
"Qiao, Qiao, you're here."
No matter how much hatred and hatred Cheng Qiao had in his heart, he couldn't stand up anymore when he saw these eyes carved out of almost the same mold as his mother.
Cheng Qiao looked at these eyes, and Zhao Min's appearance before his death came to mind, as well as her last instructions: "Don't hate your grandfather, he is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and so am I, so we missed it." ”
Mother's eyes and grandfather's eyes seemed to converge, so Cheng Qiao couldn't tell whether he was facing his mother or grandfather.
"Qiao girl, can you call me grandpa."
Cheng Qiao came back to his senses in an instant, looked at these expectant eyes, and nodded:
"Grandpa......"
"Hey, girl, come here."
Cheng Qiao walked over with little Cheng Li in his arms, and when he saw the old man's outstretched hand, he couldn't help but shake it, and the cold hand made Cheng Qiao's heart feel like he had been stabbed by ice slag, and it hurt and hurt.
"Take it."
For a long time, the old man's other hand fumbled in the pocket of his clothes for a while, and then took out a brass key and stuffed it into Cheng Qiao's hand.
"What is this?"
"I hid your mother's dowry for a long time, looking forward to Minmin coming back, but this bad girl doesn't want to come back to see me."
"Grandpa......"
Cheng Qiao understood, where did his grandfather really want to cut off relations with Zhao Min, it was just a vent on his anger, thinking about his daughter, but he couldn't let go of it, and finally dragged it to the separation of yin and yang before he really regretted it.
"Now she doesn't need this dowry, grandpa will give it to you, your uncle knows where to put the things, and let him take you to get them when the time comes."
Cheng Qiao nodded, the Cheng family was a capitalist in their early years, and no matter how much the gold and silver treasures in the family were handed over, there would always be some fine products hidden in places that no one knew.
"Qiao girl, you are really like your mother, seeing you is like seeing her, and I can still see my great-grandson, when I go there, I will be angry with her."
Cheng Qiao: "......"
finally understands the meaning of love and hatred, this father and daughter are typical.
"Daddy, Daddy."
Zhao Hui saw that the old man closed his eyes, and knew in his heart that the time limit had come, but fortunately, he had finally fulfilled his life's wish, and his merit was complete.
Cheng Qiao felt that the hand holding him was getting colder and colder, and he was becoming more and more lifeless, so he knew that the person had left, his nose was a little sore, and he finally shed tears.
"Qiao, let me introduce, your aunt Gao Yue, your cousin Zhao Qiming, and cousin Zhao Qijun."
"Hello aunt, good cousin, good cousin."
"This is Minmin's husband, Cheng Qiao's father Cheng Liguo, Liguo, although you haven't seen them, I know that Minmin must have told you."
"Hello uncle, good cousin."
Zhao Qiming and Zhao Qijun shouted in unison, Gao Yue also nodded politely to Cheng Liguo, and then went to the kitchen to pour two cups of brown sugar water.
"Our current identity is not free, but fortunately, Zhao Hui is still free, and he has also opened up the relationship, so we are all ready, and we will give the old man ...... tomorrow"
I can't say the two words after burning, no matter what, they all say that people will be safe after death, but Old Man Zhao's roots are not here, so they want to take the old man's ashes back, so they can only burn them.
"Uncle, aunt, I understand what you mean, just do what you are ready, but the mourning hall is estimated to not be able to do it, so secretly light three incense sticks at night."
Zhao Hui nodded, and asked Zhao Qijun to take Cheng Qiao and Cheng Liguo to a wooden house next door, which was Zhao Hui's house, and now let it go for Cheng Liguo and Cheng Qiao's ancestors and grandchildren to live in.
In the evening, Zhao Hui came to Cheng Qiao and handed her a drawing, which was a drawing of a secret room, and there was a dowry given to Zhao Min by the old man in the secret room.
"There is only one key to the secret room, you must not drop it, otherwise this door will not be opened no matter what."
Cheng Qiao solemnly stored the key in the drawer of the space room, and put a lock on it, because she was afraid that Xiao Cheng Li would be ignorant and break it as a toy when the time came.
"Uncle, if I take my mother's dowry, you ...... here"
"Don't worry, our Zhao family is just me and your mother, two brothers and sisters, and I can't eat the huge property alone, don't worry, our Zhao family has a lot more silver overseas than here."
Cheng Qiao nodded, she already understood the path Zhao Hui was going to take in the future, and calculated the time, but there were still five or six years to go, and they would be free.
"Uncle, my father is determined to take root in the Hexi Corridor, if you have anything in the future, you can go directly to my father."
"What about you, what are your plans?"
Zhao Hui was anxious, he didn't have to really eat in that small mountain village called Xiangyang Village and wait for death for the rest of his life, this was not the choice of the Zhao family.
