his robbery

Huo Xiangzhen went to Tianjin first to help Ling, because An Rushan has been stationed in Tianjin in recent years, and his "Ren'er" who can bake scallion pancakes and sing big drum books is also in Tianjin. The little boy is also in the same position as the wife of the main house.

Huo Xiangzhen has no money, everyone thinks that his family has a great career, no one knows that his home has been stolen by the secretary general and turned into an empty shell.Having no money, and wanting to bury An Rushan in a grand manner, he had no choice but to sell his house in Tianjin.The house in Tianjin is a small western-style building, with more time to be empty and less time to live in. In the past, he only went there to settle down when he came to Tianjin to deal with military affairs.The Xiaoyanglou was well-built and the location was good, and he didn't care about the price, so within a few days, the Xiaoyanglou changed hands, and he only got 6 yuan.

The adjutants all said in private that he was being tricked by others, and that selling a house was not such a loss, they were just talking about it secretly, and they dared not remind him in person.For so many years, the Huo family has only bought, never sold.Now it's finally started to sell, Huo Xiangzhen sold it in a secretive manner, not like a seller, but like a thief.The person who came forward to negotiate was Lieutenant Li, who was ashamed to show his face.

For the 6 yuan, he added some more himself, and first settled An Rushan's funeral, and the rest of the money was given to the not very authentic Mrs. An.Mrs. An wept and thanked him a thousand times, and he became more and more ashamed that he couldn't sit still—in his heart, he couldn't afford such a small amount of money.

After dealing with An Rushan's affairs, Huo Xiangzhen returned to Beijing.Now that Beijing has changed its name to Beiping, he got out of the car in front of his house, raised his head with his hands behind his back, and looked at the five-color flags hanging on both sides of the gate.It was May when I left home, but now it is October.The five months were as long and rough as five years.After a summer of wind and rain, the five-color flag has also faded and faded to dim and fuzzy, like the old color of old paper piles.

The guards guarding the gate are still fully armed, standing at attention and saluting him, which is still the old etiquette.After the salute was over, the guards slowly opened the two doors.And he stood in the shadows in front of the door, only feeling that the door was a curtain, and when the curtain opened, what was waiting for him was an old stage and a new play.

Stepping over the threshold, he walked in step by step.As usual, the adjutants remained with the adjutant in front, and only Andrei followed him.

The family has always kept orderlies, so the small building where he lives is relatively clean.Sitting in the living room and sighing, he asked Andre to make himself a pot of hot tea.He drank slowly without saying a word, his heart was empty and he didn't know what to think.After drinking a pot of hot tea, he called Andre over again: "Go, put water on me, I want to take a bath."

Andre went to the bathroom and saw that the pool was clean, so he turned on the hot and cold water faucets.The pool was big, and it would take a while to fill up most of the pool, so he entered the adjutant lounge.Before he could sit still, the phone in the room suddenly rang, and he picked up the receiver, but the speaker was Lieutenant Li in front.

Lieutenant Li told him: "The secretary-general is here, ask the commander-in-chief to let him in?"

Normally, the Huo Mansion always has its gates open, and people come and go, not like a residence, but like an institution.Now Huo Xiangzhen was disgraced, so when he got home, he ordered people to close the front and back doors to prevent outsiders from entering.Whether the secretary-general is an outsider or an insider, the adjutants are a little uncertain, but as if instinctively, they know that the position of the secretary-general next to the commander-in-chief is not the same as before.

Andre ran to the living room, chanting words silently along the way, for fear that he would screw up his words again.When he stood in front of Huo Xiangzhen, he lowered his hands and said softly: "Marshal, Mr. Meow is here, do you want to see me?"

Huo Xiangzhen was sitting on the sofa in a daze, when he heard this sentence, he was stunned for a moment, and then he waved his hand violently: "No see!"

Andre saw that he seemed suddenly angry, and subconsciously wanted to back off, but he didn't dare to leave because he was afraid that he heard it wrong: "No see?"

Huo Xiangzhen stood up, lifted the curtain and left the living room: "From now on, he doesn't need to report when he comes, just let him go!"

Andre quickly walked a few steps and followed, seeing that Huo Xiangzhen went upstairs without looking back.He moved his lips and tongue again while reciting, and returned to the lounge while reciting, and called the adjutant in front of him: "The commander-in-chief said, no see, no need to report in the future, just let him go-go."

After putting down the phone, he finally got some leisure, and temporarily changed the word "get out" to go, which also made him feel decent and satisfied.Sitting at the table in front of the window, he rested his chin on his hands and looked out. There was a small clump of flowers and trees outside the window. The flowers had faded early, but the leaves were either yellow or red, and it looked like a big cluster.

He thought the scenery was so beautiful that he was distracted for a while.The golden eyelashes were getting thicker and thicker, and finally he fell on the table as if unable to support himself, and fell asleep drowsily.

On this day, there was water in the small building.

The water first overflowed from the pool in the bathroom, then crossed the threshold and soaked through the carpet, slowly moving forward step by step.Huo Xiangzhen got angry whenever he thought of Ma Congrong, and was so angry that he forgot about taking a bath. Andrei was sleeping soundly in the autumn sun, and he forgot more thoroughly than him.In the end, it was a small orderly downstairs who discovered the problem first, but unfortunately it was too late, the big carpet woven with five dragons holding the sun was already drenched with water, and no one could enter the living room after stepping on it. up!

The carpet was too big to be completely removed to bask in the sun, so we had to open all the windows downstairs to let the moisture out.The carpet in front of the stairs is a large piece alone, but it can be lifted up and sent out.Without the carpet decoration, a large concrete floor was exposed downstairs.Huo Xiangzhen was unhappy at first, but now standing on the stairs, she saw that there was water and mud below, the carpet was dirty and curled up into rolls, and the cold draft made the windows rattling, she was full of eyes. The bleak scene of fleeing, the house is not a house, and the days are not a day.The orderlies are also stupid, and they have to scramble and scramble to do this job. Andrei stands aside as if he is about to cry, and has no other use but to get in the way.

On the first day Huo Xiangzhen came home, such a messy funny scene took place at home.He didn't know whether it was better to be furious or to smile wryly, and he slapped the handrail of the stairs fiercely. He wanted to reprimand Andre, but before he could speak, Adjutant Li hurried over.

Lieutenant Li obviously didn't expect that there would be water in the small building behind.Stunned and left, he stopped in front of Huo Xiangzhen and said, "Report to the commander, Gu Chengxi is here."

Huo Xiangzhen shook his head wearily: "No see."

Lieutenant Li hesitated and said again: "He...he brought a lot of people, it seems that it is not easy to dismiss."

Huo Xiangzhen's face suddenly changed, and he roared at Adjutant Li, "You bastard! Is there anyone in him? Is there nobody in me? There's no place for me outside, and I can't be the master of my own home? No way! He dares to barge in, Just pass on my words and let the guards shoot!"

Lieutenant Li trembled in fright, and immediately took orders to flee.

Huo Xiangzhen stopped leaning on the banister of the stairs, a fire burning in her heart.Chaos outside, chaos at home, even more chaos inside.

Huo Xiangzhen thought it was too much to live in this building, and wanted to move to the small courtyard at the back to sleep.But the yard was not cleaned up, and once autumn came, it would be extremely cold.Going back upstairs in a state of embarrassment, he went into the study and sat down, feeling aggrieved in his heart, so aggrieved that he was about to explode.

After dealing with it for a few days, the carpet was re-laid back to its original position, and the downstairs seemed to have restored its old appearance, but there was always a faint musty smell in the air, which was said to be that the carpet was not fully dried, because it was not dry these days. It's all cloudy, and it's not bad if it doesn't rain.

Because of the faint musty smell, Huo Xiangzhen didn't like to go downstairs anymore, and only wrote and drew in the study all day long.However, it wasn't long before the days of splashing ink and ink, the master chef of the kitchen at home came to him, and smiled embarrassedly, saying that the money for this month has not been paid yet, and the kitchen has no way to go out to buy vegetables.

Huo Xiangzhen looked at the master inexplicably, not knowing what this matter had to do with her.After a few seconds, he realized that the secretary-general in charge of the housework was gone, and the ground immediately became a mess. If the master wants to get the money, doesn't he have to find himself?

Then Huo Xiangzhen was dumbfounded again - he also had no money.From childhood to adulthood, his food and clothing expenses seem to have all fallen from the sky, and have no direct connection with money.But he thought it belonged to him. With more than 100 people in the family, he couldn't force the kitchen to cook three meals a day without rice.

After sending the master away first, Huo Xiangzhen temporarily pushed aside the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and started wandering around looking for money like a wandering spirit.He went to the account room first, but the account room was empty, and there was nothing he wanted except furniture.The account room is a special place to put money. If the account room is out of money, there is no need to search for other places.

Ma Congrong called him, but he didn't answer.If Ma Congrong was also poor, he might not care about him as much as the other party; but Ma Congrong is very rich now, and his life is going well; so he doesn't go to the other party, and he doesn't want to provoke the other party.Even if Ma Congrong made a fortune of tens of millions, he would never ask for a cent.

As soon as the gate of Huo Mansion was closed, it seemed to be isolated from the world.Ma Congrong couldn't get in, and was unwilling to return without success, so he stayed in Beiping and called Huo's house several times a day.He had just finished making a phone call that no one answered, but the servant at home came in with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Third Master, have you heard? Huo's mansion is selling cars!"

Ma Congrong didn't understand: "Sell cars?"

The servant replied: "Isn't it selling cars? The adjutants in their mansion are looking for buyers everywhere, saying that they will sell them for money, which is cheap."

Ma Congrong slapped the table angrily: "What a prodigal!"

Ma Congrong personally inquired, and finally learned that the Huo Mansion was indeed selling cars. There was a row of special garages in the Huo Mansion, and there were seven or eight old and new cars in it.The adjutants sold the cars as cheap as foreign cars, so naturally they sold them all quickly, leaving only one Lincoln.

Although Ma Congrong had already set up his own family, seeing this situation, he was still heartbroken and could not stop him.He tried his best to call Andre out, and asked him to hand over 1 yuan to the uncle for himself, and he would give it after spending it all, but please don't be a random seller again.Andre left obediently with the money, and within a day, he came back dejectedly: "Miao Zhang, I'll give you the money, but the commander-in-chief doesn't want it, he scolded me."

Ma Congrong was so angry that he beat the table and kicked the stool at home: "Why is this temper so big? I didn't say a word at the time, and he still keeps grudges all over? Okay, okay, I don't care, I'm afraid that I will be bitten by too much money." Can't do it? Really!"

Andre went back to the mansion and went upstairs to the study, and said to Huo Xiangzhen sadly: "Miao is very angry."

Huo Xiangzhen glanced at him: "If you see meow grow well, you go to Tianjin and grow up with meow!"

Andre shook his head: "No, I have been with the handsome."

Huo Xiangzhen heard him talking like a child, and couldn't help laughing: "Follow me first, when I can no longer support you, you can go find your own place."

Andre continued to shake his head: "No."

Lieutenant Li trotted all the way into the door, stopped beside Andre and stood at attention: "Report to the commander, Gu Chengxi is here again, saying that he personally caught two fish from the river today, and specially gave it to the commander to taste."

Huo Xiangzhen waved his hand wordlessly.

Lieutenant Li understood, turned around and trotted out the door with his head held high, and was ordered to expel Commander Gu.When he ran away, Huo Xiangzhen sighed in the room: "This man is like a wolf like a tiger."

Andre muttered to himself: "Like a wolf like a tiger..."

While talking to himself, he wrote stroke by stroke with his fingers on the desk.Huo Xiangzhen behind the writing desk saw it, so he picked up a pen and wrote the four characters "like a wolf like a tiger" on a piece of rice paper.Zi has a sharp and thin golden body, and he has put in a lot of effort during practice, but he has many abilities that are like night walks in brocade clothes, and he cannot display them or admit them.

He leaned over and pushed the paper towards Andre, but he didn't speak.Andre flattened the rice paper and bent over to look at it carefully, and imitated the strokes on it to learn to write.He worked very hard to be a Chinese, to learn Chinese and write Chinese characters, although he could not speak clearly and his writing was incomplete.

There are too many smart people around Huo Xiangzhen, so now he likes Andre's taciturnity.He didn't need to respond when he talked to Andre, he just wanted Andre to be a listener: "The current situation, I don't know how long it can last. After living for 30 years, I suddenly won't be able to live. No But, I have to learn. I’ve come back, so I can’t just hang myself. I don’t know anything about the family affairs. Suddenly I have no money. What if I don’t sell it? I sell it today. Cars, I don’t know what to sell tomorrow.”

Speaking of this, he let out a long breath, his tone was flat, his expression was also numb, as if he had accepted his fate.

Andre suddenly became wise, and said to Huo Xiangzhen: "Commander Gu is very friendly, let him help and let you be an official."

Huo Xiangzhen sneered and shook her head: "Him? I don't ask him."

Then he let out a long sigh: "The rice bowl of other people's family is not good!"
