"Mom, that's impossible, right? He can tell me the address."

"Then he doesn't sincerely ask for your help. You stupid son, you are still helping count the money after being sold."

"Mom, what's the use of all this? It's too late to say anything now. The money has already been invested. It can't be stopped just by saying stop."

"You silly son, just wait to lose."

"No."

"Hmph! Just wait and see, when you lose all your money, you will know that you are wrong."

"I know. Mom, our living conditions are very good now, don't worry."

.....

Xu Weiguo and Lou Xiao'e were married and had two sons and one daughter, both of whom were very smart. Lou Xiao'e's parents also died young. Lou Xiao'e was an orphan.

Lou Xiaoe was bullied when she was in high school and almost lost her innocence. Fortunately, she met Xu Weiguo. Xu Weiguo saved her and gave her a jade pendant called a "heart mirror." The jade pendant could save Lou Xiaoe's life.

Lou Xiao'e's father's name is Lou Tiangang, and his mother's name is Du Yue. Lou Xiao'e handed the jade pendant fragments to the two old people to see. After reading it, the two old people turned pale with fright. Lou Tiangang said: "How did he lose this thing?"

Xu Wei'e cried and said:

"Dad, it's like that. During the Spring Festival this year, you went home for the holidays...At this time, you accidentally fell out of the ditch and fainted. An old man carried you down to the shore..." Then he brought this

The incident was described once.

Lou Xiaoya put down the empty wine glass and said, "Boy, he lives a bad life with Wu Lan."

Zhao Geguo finally remembered the "Dream of Red Mansions" he had read. I knew that the "Peng Zhen'e" Lou Xiaoya was referring to should be Lou Tiangang's biological aunt. However, I still doubt it.

Peng Zhenguo brought Peng Zhenhong to the kitchen and took out a bottle of Moutai. Before opening it, he poured half a glass for Lou Xiaoya. Zhao Geguo also poured a full glass for himself. Zhao Geguo said: "Old sir, let's raise a toast to him. Wish him a toast."

Happy birthday."

"Twenty years have passed in a flash, and Longwan Village has not changed very much. You have long forgotten those things, but you only remember them now when you see Da Ya."

"How was his score in that exam?"

"Oh no, you two haven't had a drink together for a long time. Today you go all out and make it uncomfortable to drink."

Lou Tiangang's words hurt Peng Zhen'e's heart, and the tears stopped flowing upward. Xu Wei'e squatted down and hugged the man, patted your back hard, and comforted you softly. Peng Zhen'e dared to tell the truth to the older boy. Because of the older boy's age

I'm still young, so I can't understand. Xu Wei'e is afraid that you will be afraid.

"Where did Xiao'e live before?"

"You want to know why it's convenient?"

Lou Xiaoya's words overturned Zhao Geguo's understanding of the world. I felt that I was limited and great, as if I was not special and could be manipulated by fate. Suddenly I felt less sad: Can you escape that reincarnation?

At that time, Xu Wei'e poked her head out of the house and shouted: "Dad, please leave the house and have a rest for a while. It's time to eat!" Xu Wei'e's voice was very sweet, like the clear chirping of a lark.

"Come here, Lou Xiao was really hungry, so he sold the building and scraped together a little 100 yuan to buy a tractor. However, I didn't know how to drive at all, and the tractor overturned on the road. Fortunately for him,

Grandpa was at that time

Working in the fields saved me. When I came here, his uncle and aunt were both dead. When his aunt was dying, she told you to take good care of him. You agreed, and you would burn paper money for Xiao'e every festive season in those years."

"Mom, it's not that you refused that marriage, you will always be in the same year. In the same year, he forced you to marry Xiao'e, so he will treat you as his son." Zhao Geguo's attitude is very firm, I will definitely allow my man to suffer

Grievance.

Lou Xiao'e was shocked and quickly found her parents.

Zhao Geguo asked with trembling lips: "He...he is Lou...Xiao'e's grandfather? Why did he tell you?"

"He..." Zhao Geguo pointed at my mother and said something. At that time, there was a sound of footsteps in the door. Then, Zhao Guangyi opened the door and walked back, saying: "Weiguo, what is he?"

Wait a minute. You didn’t know about his exam until you watched the TV news just now.

Passed, that's good news! In those days, his mother and his younger brother always boasted outside the school, saying that if he became a class teacher, he would be able to pass the elementary school entrance examination in a short time, and you would lose face. He has to live up to his expectations.

Yo, don’t live up to your expectations.”

"It's okay. You want to continue working hard for a while."

Zhao Guangyi said angrily: "Huh! Damn, he denies your mother, right? Let him go find his father-in-law and mother-in-law, let us leave him alone!"

Zhao Geguo said: "Thank you, Mom, you will work hard."

Zhao Geguo was stunned for a moment: "Who is Peng Zhenhong? He is Xu Wei'e's grandfather? Xu Wei'e's father's name is Lou Xiaoya."

I only saw two corpses and did not see the thief.

Lou Xiaoya sighed and said: "Weiguo, don't leave. When you give the things to Xiao'e, we will have a bad talk."

"That matter needs to be discussed. You refuse."

Xu Wei'e agreed repeatedly. Lou Xiaoya and Du Yue took Xu Wei'e out of the room. Lou Tiangang followed and ran out, holding his mother's hand and asking: "Mom, is our family rich? Why did you tell Li Gong? Li Gong helped mom.

Yeah!"

Zhao Geguo left without saying anything. I sat under the sofa and thought about my own thoughts.

Zhao Guangyi sighed and said: "Oh, it's hard to describe. His uncle was a scholar back then. When I came here to buy a house in the county, someone stole my wallet and lost it. I didn't have thousands of dollars outside. At that time, I was so nervous that I couldn't help but sigh."

. None of the neighbors named Zhao were brave enough to pick up the money for me and gave it to me. I

He was extremely grateful and said: "Lou Xiao, thank him. You lent him the money and will pay it back to him in the future." Lou Xiao said nothing and left. Come here, his uncle has been thinking about that thing. Come here, I want to

I asked someone for help. I found out that this family was in the wholesale business of medicinal materials, so I went to ask for help. Guess what?"

Zhao Geguo asked: "Why are we still so poor?"

Zhao Geguo suddenly felt his head buzzing and was instantly confused. I remember Xu Wei'e said that you don't have a grandfather, but he never mentioned my grandfather's name.

"Don't let him collapse from exhaustion. Both you and his father hope that he can graduate soon."

"His uncle wants Xiao'e to marry him, so that your old Lou family will have no future."

When Zhao Geguo heard what he said, he immediately retorted: "That's okay."

Lou Xiaoya said: "Wei Guo, his heart is really wrong."

Zhao Geguo couldn't stop laughing and said: "He is lying to you, right?"

Zhao Geguo secretly cursed at that time: What kind of evil spirit dares to come to your house to steal things?!

Peng Zhenguo was shocked when he heard this. He immediately agreed to Lou Xiaoya's request. Lou Xiaoya was also reluctant and just told Zhao Ge to pay more attention.

Zhao Geguo said: "This old man took the initiative to find you! I said you don't have a Chinese character outside your name, so you can educate men." Zhao Geguo did not lie. That evening, as soon as Zhao Geguo returned home, he heard that outside his home

I was robbed and someone died. When I rushed out of the house

"Oh."

Zhao Guangyi glared at Zhao Geguo and said: "Weiguo, does he understand the rules? How can he have no room to comment on Xiao'e's marriage?"

Zhao Geguo stood there blankly, an inexplicable emotion enveloped his whole body.

Du Yue sighed and said, "Oh, the eldest child is really sensible!"

Zhao Geguo felt very strange and asked: "My father-in-law, we are a family, how do you know him?"

"Does he know that on the evening of the wedding between Lou Xiao and Xu Xiaoya's wife, you took the opportunity to sneak in and beat up Xu Xiaoya and his uncle. Although Lou Xiao's brother Zhao Mingyuan was not beaten,

He was also beaten by his grandfather. After such a torment, Lou Xiao’s family was completely defeated.”

"Wei Guo, we haven't had a drink for a long time. Are you drunk or going home today?" Lou Xiaoya patted Peng Zhenguo on the shoulder and said.

Peng Zhenhong said: "Well, in those years, Lou Xiao and our family have been losing money. Before my parents died, Lou Xiao's wife ran away. Lou Xiao's younger brothers, Xu Xiaoya and Zhao Mingyuan, one is in junior high school and the other is in college. They all rely on

My parents lived on the real estate they left behind. Before Lou Xiao’s parents passed away, Lou Xiao’s parents fell ill and died, so we had more money to support the small family.”

Peng Zhenguo smiled and said: "Thank you, old man, for your teaching."

The old man surnamed Chen smiled and said: "Your Xu family hasn't disappeared yet."

Before Peng Zhenhong left, Peng Zhen'e called Zhao Geguo to the study and asked: "Weiguo, how did he know this grandpa? How did you know?"

After all, Lou Tiangang was only eight years old. When he saw his mother crying, he stopped questioning her.

When Lou Tiangang heard about it, he burst into tears: "Mom, he has suffered!" Zhao Geguo asked: "Da Ya, what does 'grandpa' mean?" Xu Wei'e explained: "Da Ya, this grandpa is not the one who saved him."

Lou Tiangang thought for a long time before he understood.

Wu Lan said: "Don't worry, they. You can ask this old man, maybe there will be nothing you can do!" Then he left slowly and hurriedly to discuss with Zhao Geguo.

That night, when Lou Xiao'e was taking a bath, she found that the "heart mirror" hanging on her chest was broken! Lou Xiao'e hurriedly got up from the bathtub and put on clothes, but it was too late, and the "heart mirror" had turned into several pieces.

Fragments.

"Peng Zhen actually agreed with his uncle and warned me that I was going to mess around. When I came, his uncle gritted his teeth and exchanged the money for grain. He went to the countryside with a basket on his back to sell grain and earned 200 yuan. I used 300 yuan.

I bought his grandfather a set of clothes, shoes and two cigarettes, as well as two kilograms of pork and two kilograms of rice. His uncle spent a total of less than 400 yuan, but earned less than 2,000 yuan."

That past incident has been forgotten by Zhao Geguo for the rest of his life. When Zhao Geguo was working outside the city, he happened to meet an old man named Chen who was selling medicinal materials. Before meeting Zhao Geguo, the old man Chen said, "Boy, is he from Xujia Village?"

"Zhao Geguo nodded in agreement. "You are from his family, and we are one family."

"It's up to him."

Zhao Geguo left the room to eat before saying hello to Xu Wei'e.
