Grandpa

After Liu Kangcheng left, Shao Yun went to take a small box of the meat strips that he had made the other day and the bacon that was going to be sent out, took his bank card, and got on the tricycle to Qi County.

When we arrived at the agreed place, Wei Xiuluo was already waiting under the stop sign.

He was holding a glass of juice, sipping it slowly with a straw in his mouth, seeing Shao Yun approaching, he handed him the unopened juice in his hand.

Shao Yun went to pick it up, and then put the lunch box in his hand.

The ice cubes in the plastic cup hadn't completely melted, so Shao Yun pulled out the straw and inserted it in. After a series of gurgling sounds, there was only a small half of the juice in the big glass.

A feeling of coolness hits the cerebral cortex, as if the sweltering heat of bitter summer was instantly dispelled.

Wei Xiuluo opened the glass lunch box, and inside were neatly stacked strips of meat, with a layer of cumin seeds and pepper powder sprinkled on top, and the aroma was overwhelming.

He picked one up and put it in his mouth, and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of buying a house?"

"Well," Shao Yun went to let go of the straw, and said as he walked forward: "My home is in the country, too far away from school, and every time I go home, I have to spend several hours by car, let alone transfer, which is a bit It’s troublesome. And you can’t stay in school all the time during the holidays, and sometimes it’s not convenient. So I thought about buying a suite in the county town, at least I have a place to stay.”

He still wanted to go to school, but Yigao ordered the students to live in the school unless they had mobility issues and couldn't take care of themselves.He didn't want to embarrass the school management, so he just thought about it.

"I see." Wei Xiuluo nodded while biting the strip of meat.

Then I heard Shao Yun go and say, "Is it delicious?"

Wei Xiuluo turned his head to look at Shao Yun, who stared at him with burning eyes.

He blinked and coughed lightly, "Not bad."

Then he picked up one and handed it to Shao Yun.

His eyes twinkled slightly, and he was inexplicably ashamed in the crowd.But after thinking about it, the two of them are now a serious couple, isn't it normal to behave a little more intimately?

Thinking about it this way, the redness at the tips of his ears faded a little, not only that, he even held up the meat strips and sent them to Shao Yun.

Shao Yun went to take away the benefits contentedly, "It's really good."

Before viewing the house, Shao Yun went to a courier receiving point and sent out the wrapped bacon one by one. The address was just asked for last night.

Wei Xiuluo accompanied him to several sales centers that were relatively close to the school, and finally chose a second-hand house.

160 square meters, three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and two bathrooms, plus a large balcony, the asking price is 46.This housing price can be said to be quite cheap. After all, Qi County will be transferred to the capital six years later, and the housing price will naturally rise.That year, anyone who had a house in the county could get at least one million yuan afterwards. Not only that, the developer had to pay for a new house of the same size in a good location.

Thinking about it this way, Shao Yun spent the money well.But he didn't want to take this opportunity to hoard a large number of houses. First, as long as they have real skills and a reputation in their business, do they worry about having no money to send to their door? Second, it's troublesome.

It is said that it is a second-hand house, but in fact it is just a dealer who hoards a house and resells the newly built rough house after decoration, earning a middle price difference.

The glue on the walls has been scraped, the tiles have been installed, and the ventilation has been done for three months.It is equivalent to Shao Yun going to just buy the home appliances, and you can move in directly with your things.

What he likes is that it's easy, after all, he doesn't have so much time and energy to worry about decoration.

In the afternoon of that day, Shao Yun followed the house hoarder to go through the formalities of real estate transfer.

Changing the locks, buying furniture... Once the bank card is swiped, the workers will come to provide service, and the new home will be furnished.

It was already six o'clock in the evening to send off the last wave of assembly workers.

Shao Yun looked at Wei Xiuluo who was on the side, thought for a while and said, "Let's go eat first, how about going to the supermarket with me to buy some daily necessities later?"

Anyway, it's already at this point, instead of rushing back to Guanshan Village overnight, it's better to just live in the new home.

"Okay." Wei Xiuluo nodded.

The two found the nearest clay pot restaurant, took a bottle of Fanta from the freezer and handed it to Wei Xiuluo, Shao Yun went and said, "By the way, there is something I want to tell you?"

Wei Xiuluo took a pig's ear with chopsticks and put it in Shao Yun's bowl: "What?"

Shao Yun went to look at the pig's ears in the bowl, feeling really good.He took a bite of his meal, "I have something to do, and I may have to go out for a while."

Is this a trip report?

The corner of Wei Xiuluo's lips curled up: "Where are you going?"

"Bian Province, Changbai Mountain."

Wei Xiuluo was taken aback, "What are you doing there?"

"Look for something." Shao Yun went to pause: "A very cute guy, you probably, uh, should like it!"

Thinking of the image of that guy, he said hesitantly.

Wei Xiuluo lowered his eyes and hummed calmly.

"It's probably half a month away, when the time comes... let's contact by phone." He winked at Wei Xiuluo.

"Yeah." Wei Xiuluo coughed lightly and lowered his head to eat.

After coming out of the restaurant, the two found a supermarket and went in.

Wei Xiuluo pushed the cart, Shao Yun went to take two mugs from the shelf: "Which one looks better?"

"Blue." Wei Xiuluo thought for a while and said.

Then I saw Shao Yun go to put the two cups, one blue and one green, into the cart.

His heart skipped a beat.

Two toothbrushes, two sets of towels, two pairs of slippers...Looking at the pairs of daily necessities in the cart, and looking at Shao Yunqu who was taking it for granted, Wei Xiuluo pursed the corners of his lips, and walked a little more briskly .

After paying the bill, Wei Xiuluo helped send the things back to the new home.

"I should go back." Looking at the phone, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, Wei Xiuluo said.

"Okay, I'll take you back." Shao Yun nodded.

Don't worry, those things will come in handy one day.

It's not far from the government compound, about ten minutes away.

"arrive--"

Wei Xiuluo looked at the big iron gate not far away, stopped, turned around and looked towards Shao Yun.

Shao Yun went to face Shangwei Xiuluo's bright black eyes, dim street lights, slender shadows, and a quiet street. The naturalness of getting along with him before was gone, leaving only a restless heartbeat.

After a long time, Shao Yun went and said, "Where's the wood carving I gave you at your birthday party?"

Wei Xiuluo blinked: "At home."

"Can you take it down?" Shao Yun asked.

"Okay." Wei Xiuluo turned around, and his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

After a while, he came back, and when he saw the boy under the street lamp, his speed was obviously much faster.

"Here." He handed the wooden box to Shao Yun.

Shao Yun went to pick up the box, opened it, and took out the wood carving.

He took two steps forward, and the distance between his toes and Wei Xiuluo was reduced to two centimeters. This distance made Wei Xiuluo feel oppressed instantly, and he could even smell the slight sweat on Shao Yunqu's body.His eyesight is very good, at that moment, he had the urge to count the fluff on Shao Yun's lips.

"Okay." Shao Yun went to lower his head, facing Wei Xiuluo's white collarbone under the slightly opened skirt, on which black wood carvings were pasted, the colors were distinct.

Wei Xiuluo stretched out his hand and pulled out the wood carving, his hands were delicate, he looked up at Shao Yun, his eyes flickered slightly.

"Good night." Shao Yun said softly, bending his eyes.

"Good night." With a jade carving hanging around his neck, Wei Xiuluo turned and left with light steps, like stepping on clouds.

……

According to what Shao Yun said, Liu Kangcheng prepared three animals, six animals, wine, incense and candles, and bravely came to the place where he picked up the money.

It was already late at night, and there was no one around.With trembling hands, he lit the joss stick and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Grandpa Ghost, I—I'm Liu Kangcheng, the one who took your life money half a month ago. I beg you to let me go, I'm not yet 40 years old, I don't want to die..."

Having said that, he raised his head tremblingly and looked around, but there was no one there.

He gritted his teeth, slapped himself hard, and said, "Grandpa Ghost, it's all my fault. I can't control my hands. I'm greedy for money..."

There was burning pain on his face, and he burst into tears after a while: "My parents passed away early, leaving me alone with no one to discipline me. I didn't learn well when I was young, and I was idle when I grew up. If I don't marry a wife, everyone will look down on me."

"Now I've managed to make it through. Others say I've had shit luck, but they don't know how much I've suffered. My two sons are only six years old now. How can they live without me... ..."

"Grandpa Ghost, please spare my life." Liu Kangcheng choked his neck and cried bitterly. He was really afraid of death.

He kowtowed and said hastily: "As long as you are willing to let me go, I am willing to repay you three times the money you paid for your life. Not only that, but I am also willing to set up a golden body for you. I will enshrine you for one day in my Liu family." One day, I beg you..."

Just then, a gust of wind blew over.

His back felt cold, and the unspoken words stuck in his throat, "Grandpa Ghost, is that you?"

He looked back tremblingly, but it was still empty.

His heart relaxed, he turned his head, and was facing a pair of black cloth shoes, floating in the air.

He trembled all over, and his heart rose to his throat.

I only heard a faint voice from the front: "Of course I know what you said."

Liu Kangcheng curled up on the ground, but felt that the voice was a little familiar.

"But have you forgotten where this is?"

"What, where?" Liu Kangcheng said dryly.

"This used to be a city hospital. I was seriously ill, and the money from selling the house was taken away. I had no money to treat the disease, and the hospital cut off the medicine. I lay on the hospital bed with my eyes open for two days, and then I died. Liu Kangcheng ,do you remember?"

"What?" Liu Kangcheng raised his head subconsciously, facing a familiar face, his pupils constricted in an instant, and he scrambled back, with a look of horror on his face: "Liu, old man Liu..."

The old ghost was wearing a sick suit, and stared at Liu Kangcheng: "It seems that you still remember me, Liu Kangcheng, when you were hanging around on the street, offended people, and were beaten to death. The old man couldn't bear to pick you up." Go back and buy medicine for your injury. You can’t repay your life-saving grace, but you have to recognize me, a widowed old man, as your godfather and give me a pension until the end of my life.”

"For the sake of your sincerity and determination, I believe it. I will accept you as a godson, and I beg my grandpa to tell my grandma to put you in the community as a security guard, so that you can live a stable life. But how do you repay me?" mine?"

He slowly approached Liu Kangcheng: "I was seriously ill and hospitalized, and my savings was exhausted, so I had to ask you to sell the house for my treatment. I trusted you so much, but you ran away with the money from selling the house, and I died like this On the hospital bed. I'm afraid you didn't expect that there would be a day when it would fall into my hands, right?"

Liu Kangcheng didn't know where the courage came from. He knelt forward, hugged the old man's legs, and said bitterly, "Godfather, Dad—it's all my fault. I was blinded by lard." My heart, I——I thought you were already like that at the time, the doctor said that the operation is only three-level sure, even if it is cured, it will be paralyzed, so I was confused..."

"I'm sorry for you, I'm damned, I'm damned," he slapped his face again, "you're going to use me as a substitute now, I admit it. But dad, I'm dead, please take care of my two sons , they are only six years old, just started kindergarten, no one is watching, don't go on a road of no return like me. For the sake of them being your grandchildren, I beg you—”

He was trembling all over, he was betting, old man Liu had always been soft-hearted, he bet that old man Liu would let him go after hearing this.

Little did he know that old man Liu looked down at Liu Kangcheng, a sneer flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Hey, that's all, for the sake of calling me dad, you go, and don't let me see you in the future."

"Thank you dad, thank you dad!" Liu Kangcheng hurriedly kowtowed to old man Liu, but he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he hurriedly opened the trunk of the car and took out a black bag: "Dad, here is 100 million, which can be regarded as paying you back." Buying money for your life, after I go back, I will set up a golden body for you immediately, and make offerings every year, and I will never break my promise if I have a day in the Liu family."

"Go away!" Old man Liu sighed.

"Yes, yes, yes." Seeing the old man Liu accepted the money, Liu Kangcheng finally let go of his worries. He hurriedly climbed into the driver's seat, stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed out crookedly.

Old man Liu sneered, and disappeared into the air with his black bag.

Liu Kangcheng turned the steering wheel and rushed out for more than twenty miles, until he broke into an unfamiliar street, and the car slowly stopped.

Liu Kangcheng's tense nerves relaxed, and he looked excited, he survived, he survived.

After laughing for a while, he swallowed his saliva, his throat was dry, he turned his head, and there was a vending machine beside the road.I remembered that when I bought those incense candles, the store found a handful of coins.

He took the coin and got out of the car.

The moment the car door was closed and he stepped out, a dazzling light hit his eyes, and he raised his arm subconsciously.

boom--

Liu Kangcheng flew out.

Everything was quiet, he was lying on the ground, staring, his body twitching non-stop, a black car was parked not far away.

He thought, no, the license plate number was blocked, not Geng B99786 in the dream.

After a while, a person got out of the car, not a middle-aged man, but a young woman in a skirt. She lowered her head and patted his face.

The voice was very familiar, she said: "Since you dare to raise a little lover behind my back, you have to bear the price."

Isn't this his wife?

He opened his mouth, his eyes were closed by the hand of the woman in front of him.
