Chapter 135 Home Visit
A bowl of tea and two dried radishes. If you are my old friend, you can chat for a long time. If you are my enemy, you can keep me away.
Heilong's words sounded a wake-up call for grandpa. Grandpa always thought that Heilong had established a deep relationship with him when he was in prison. After he was released from prison, he directly pulled himself into the group. He thought that Heilong really regarded himself as a brother. Unexpectedly, even so, the black dragon still kept a hand.
But there is no need to be strange. Black Dragon looks like a rough man on the surface, but he is actually better than anyone else in his mind. After all, Grandpa and Black Dragon have just been together in prison for a while. The brothers who have been with him for so many years can also be killed, let alone himself. Grandpa has been prepared in his heart since he agreed to be this undercover agent. Sooner or later, his family will be exposed, but he didn't expect Black Dragon to move so quickly.
There was a bit of sadness on her face, which was already bright and pale. Unexpectedly, the shock last night was not over. She had to give herself a big "surprise" when she got home. Grandpa couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the black dragon is a black dragon, and if she doesn't have any skills, she really can't be the boss.
He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. Since he followed Heilong, the cigarettes he smoked every day have changed from three or four yuan per pack to dozens of yuan per pack. He has no intention of eating at all. He just wants to sit quietly in the kitchen and calm his brain for a while. What happened these days has caused serious damage to his brain cells. He now needs to rest alone. Grandma saw that he had something to do in his heart, so she didn't bother him and took me to the room.
In this way, one cigarette, two cigarettes, three cigarettes, four cigarettes, five cigarettes. Until the pack of cigarettes was about to finish, my father and mother came back from get off work. First, what woke my grandfather up in a daze was the sound of my father's motorcycle engine, and then the sound of my mother stepping on the bicycle chain. The two arrived home almost at the same time. They walked to the kitchen together and found that my grandfather was sitting alone in the kitchen and cigarette butts were all over the floor.
My father took out the last cigarette in the cigarette box on the table and put it in his mouth:
"What's wrong? What happened last night? I see your face is a bit ugly."
Grandpa closed his eyes and raised his hands and rubbed his eyes:
"It's okay, I just drank too much last night and felt sick."
My father nodded half-believingly:
"That person yesterday was the amazing person you met in prison. That guy had so many people when he took action, he must have been very good at doing it."
Grandpa shook his head:
"No, that person was the little brother I met in it yesterday."
The news almost made my father jump from the stool:
"What? That person was so powerful yesterday and was still your buddy's younger brother. My dad, you met such a powerful person there. You can call so many people even if you wave your hand, and you don't have anything to do when you go in and out of the police station. Then your buddy must be a big boss in the martial arts world, a boss!"
Grandpa ignored his father anymore, but just reached out and touched his father's clothes pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes he had smoked for four or five dollars from it, and took out one and held it in his mouth.
When grandma saw that everyone was back, she handed me in her arms to mother and ran to the stove to work hard. After smoking a cigarette, her father took the newspaper upstairs and took the newspaper. Grandpa took a stool alone and sat quietly outside the door, not knowing what he was looking at.
Or maybe, don't look at anything.
Half an hour later, the food was ready. Grandma greeted everyone one by one and asked everyone to come to the kitchen for dinner. This was the first meal that the family had eaten seriously after reunion. Unlike before, when they were eating together, grandpa sat in the south-facing position, and now the person sitting in that position was father.
The table was having dinner together, because grandpa had no smile on his face, and his father had no chance to talk for a few words. At this time, he suddenly remembered something, took a sip of the rice wine placed next to him and spoke:
"By the way, Dad. Tomorrow is the first year of ordinary people. I greeted everyone who should be called two days ago. I was worried about where the money came from to invite others to dinner. Why don't you get the 20,000 yuan back? I thought about it and took some out to give Pingping this year of ordinary people. You must stay at home tomorrow, and we will celebrate with you after you are released from prison."
Grandpa nodded, then thought for a while and asked again:
"Is his household registration registered?"
This question was answered by his mother:
"Not yet. I've been having trouble all the time, and I haven't had time to register for him."
Grandpa nodded again:
"I'll go and register him in two days."
Neither the father nor the mother spoke. Anyway, this person was the child's grandfather, so it didn't matter if he asked him to register. The remaining few people were not available. Getting the household registration early can be considered a solution to the problem as soon as possible.
Apart from this conversation, I never said a word for the whole dinner. After dinner, my father took my mother upstairs to rest. My grandfather ran to the shop alone to buy a pack of cigarettes, and exchanged some casual greetings with a few old friends I hadn't seen for a long time before coming back.
All night, grandpa's eyes never closed. He kept thinking about what to do next. Since the others were exposed, at least one was saved. On this night, he decided to make a decision that he would have a big fight with his family, but it was also for their own good and for their safety, he was willing to bear all the infamy.
I didn't sleep all night, so my grandfather was of course the first person to get up in the whole house. The child's first year ceremony is a very important day, and many relatives and friends will be present. Although the family has failed like this, no one says he is a good friend, and no one can even be considered a relative and friend.
However, a few people have to entertain you. The more you treat you as a friend when you are down and out, the more you should treat you well.
Grandpa rode his bicycle to the street to buy vegetables early in the morning. Some dishes were only available for purchase. Some dishes were necessary at the first anniversary ceremony, although I also forgot which dishes were. After all, the courtyard is no longer as rich as before, so those big fish, meat, and delicacies will not appear, and the most basic dishes are also essential.
The people who grandfather probably appeared were almost in line with him. He bought almost the same vegetables, bought a few bottles of wine, cigarettes and drinks and went back. It has been a while since he had not ridden a bicycle. So many things were placed on the bridle and the bicycle was shaking on the way back. It was originally a ten-minute road that took him to ride for more than half an hour.
My father got up very early. It was nothing if my son didn't come out to work after he was one year old. My mother wanted to help him, but I was still sleeping at that time, so there was no one missing. My grandmother also got up from the bed and was busy in the kitchen. Before the sun rose to the top, the family started to work randomly.
I remember I said that it would rain even if it was not rainy during my birthday, and that day was of course no exception. At eight or nine o'clock, it started to rain in the sky. When my grandfather saw that there was nothing at home that he had to do his own work, he brought a long bench and sat at the door and smoked cigarettes.
Looking at the raindrops falling from the sky, my grandfather expected that there would be fewer people coming. He had to give red envelopes to attend the first year ceremony, which is the rule. Now the courtyard is famous for being poor, so why do those who have not had such a deep relationship have to spend money to have a simple and simple meal?
Soon, everything was arranged in a row and was waiting for someone to come.
The first one to come was of course the one who lived nearest. As the saying goes, a distant relative is worse than a close neighbor. Those who often help themselves in times of difficulty are their neighbors, and of course there are also my father's brothers like Ah Le and Uncle Ashin. There are also some people who my grandfather helped, and Lao Liu, whose mother had resurrected from the dead before. The rest are grandfather's brothers and grandfather's family members, and more than twenty people are all here. These people will not be shabby when they take action. These people are all people who really think about the courtyard.
After giving the red envelopes, the more than 20 people just filled up two large round tables. Grandpa calculated that the vegetables he bought this morning were enough for so many people to eat together, just right. After the messy ceremony in front, he asked his mother to hold me and be touched by these more than 20 people one by one. Maybe some rough men touched their noses with my nose. Thinking of this, I have been watching these adults since I was a child, and I can't even see them directly. From the time I could think of a big boy with my handle, I had touched my nose with these rough men.
After these messy scenes, it was time for those individuals to eat, drink and brag. Just as everyone was having fun, there was a sound of cars outside, not a car, but a convoy. The tires of the car drove through the road with water. Grandpa carefully calculated that at least ten cars were parked at their door, and there might be more cars parked on the road.
There was no other person in my grandfather's mind who could make such a scene here. He also expected this situation. Heilong even said something, and his grandfather expected that he would come to visit the set one day, and it was very likely today. And he also hoped that he could come today, so that his plan would succeed.
The one who appeared in front of everyone was the Black Dragon with almost a hundred younger brothers. Grandpa knew the purpose of his visit. Yesterday's words were not enough. Today he arrived to give himself a real threat. Now he brought so many people to the most when the whole family appeared, and this was such a deterrent. This was such a thing as a family. All the people came to see.
Grandpa walked forward:
"Brother Long, you are here."
The black dragon sneered:
"Oh, I don't even call my elder brother a happy event at home. My elder brother feels so sad."
Grandpa laughed:
"No, Brother Long. You also know that our family doesn't have much spare money now. You see, there are some random simple food on this table, so how can you look at it? I thought that you don't eat and drink and drink when you come. I didn't call you."
Heilong smiled and waved his hand. Dafei escaped from his bag and placed it in Heilong's hand. Heilong handed the file bag on his hand to his grandfather:
"This is a little bit of my brother's intention. Just take it down. By the way, what's your child's name?"
Grandpa glanced at me in my mother's arms:
"His name is Xu Shanping."
Heilong looked at me, turned around and shouted at all the maids behind him:
"Did you hear it? Second Master's grandson is my grandson, so I'll call you a fucking master!"
Can you imagine that a group of Tu Laozi who had never seen the world had seen many things. Seeing more than a hundred people outside bent down and bowed and shouted at the young master. Even the most calm and composed grandpa, who was usually the most calm, didn't know what to say for a while.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, the Black Dragon smiled and glanced around:
"Okay, I have something to do. I won't bother you to eat. You have delicious food and drinks, so I'll leave first."
Grandpa sent the black dragon outside the door.
Heilong looked back at his grandfather before getting in the car:
"Oh, I'm back early tomorrow. I don't have much time to take care of it. Now the road is messy. I'm really too busy to do it without you help. Dafei also remembers to take the second master to do the ceremony early tomorrow."
Dafei nodded and opened the car door for Heilong. In this way, a long convoy left far away, leaving more than twenty stunned people.
Only grandpa sat back to his seat as if nothing had happened, ate the food and drank a sip of white wine. The three ancestors stood up and walked to grandpa’s side:
"Dixin, you are the eldest son of our family. Tell me honestly, have you met some bad people outside?"
Grandpa waved his hands to the three ancestors:
"No, you haven't seen anyone give us such a big red envelope to our child. That's me, a friend of mine, I used to know my business, but now my business is getting bigger. Am I just released from prison? I'm seeing our family like this, because of the past relationship, I want to help us, so I've got a good job for me. I'm asking why you don't look forward to my goodbye day by day, don't you worry, they are really doing serious business."
At this time, someone came in from outside the door. Almost everyone present had a little impression of him, and his name was about to come out.
"Please rest assured, I know this. The group of people just now were really doing serious business, so you can continue eating. Oh, by the way, Uncle Xu, I wish your grandson good health, please accept some meaning."
The person who came in was Liu Min. He handed his grandfather a red envelope and then found himself a seat to sit down.
