Dead after eight years [rebirth]

"...I will send Grandpa Zhang home, and Dad asked me to pick you up and go back together."

Cheng Nan was still talking happily, happy that he had successfully completed the task, but Cheng Shuibei's mind had already started to buzz.

The yellow house... He had the impression that there was such a family in Linjiang Bieyuan. It was said that they had made a fortune in business. They were rich and powerful. They set off firecrackers on festivals and festivals. They were more publicized than anyone else. His stepfather Shao Jihua was quite critical of the behavior of this nouveau riche.

Why did old man Zhang give all the money to others? Did he owe money, or was he cheated?If it is owed, who is owed, how much is owed, why haven't you heard him say it?If it is cheated, the liar is too hateful, the little old man is cheated of all his hard-earned money!

Cheng Shuibei clenched his fists, unable to come up with an idea for a while, he walked home before he knew it, smelled the smoke, and put the matter on hold for the time being.

Cheng Wenqiu was putting the bowls and chopsticks on the big iron basin, when he saw them entering the door, he hurriedly greeted them: "Xiaonan and Xiaobei hurry up and wash their hands, they are ready to eat!"

Dinner was wheat kernel porridge, Cheng Wenqiu fried two dishes, potato shreds and roasted eggplant, Cheng Shuibei ate two of the steamed buns his father had steamed himself.

Dad's cooking.

He ate happily, and Cheng Wenqiu was also happy watching: "That's great, Xiao Bei will go home for dinner in the future, and Uncle Cheng will make delicious food for you!"

The family is poor and can't eat meat a few times a year. Cheng Wenqiu's favorite food is spicy fried potato shreds and pumpkin buns.

But Cheng Shuibei was still very happy, puffing out his full cheeks and responding: "Listen to Uncle Cheng, go home early!"

In the past month, Cheng Shui Beilong has eaten twice in total, one was the fried rice mixed with old man Zhang for the first time, and the other was now.

Cheng Shuibei couldn't help hiccupping several times, and smiled embarrassedly. Just as he was about to explain, another one popped out of his throat, which amused Cheng Wenqiu who was cleaning up the dishes.

Cheng Wenqiu stopped what he was doing with a smile, and said, "Hold your breath, then pinch the other hand's tiger's mouth with your thumb, and you will be fine in a while."

When they were young, the two brothers occasionally burped and burped too much. Cheng Wenqiu taught them this way.

Cheng Shuibei did as he said, and after a while, the hiccups stopped, and his whole body felt comfortable and warm.

Cheng Nan put down the bowls and chopsticks and went to watch TV in the room. Cheng Shuibei was embarrassed to sit and watch Cheng Wenqiu busy by himself, and took the initiative to go under the faucet to wash the dishes with his father.

In the sound of splashing water, Cheng Shuibei suddenly remembered that maybe Cheng Wenqiu could know something about old man Zhang.

He took the clean bowl handed over by Cheng Wenqiu, and asked, "Uncle Cheng, does Uncle Zhang owe anyone money?"

Cheng Wenqiu turned his head to look at him suspiciously, and his face visibly became cautious: "Why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing, I just saw Uncle Zhang give someone a lot of money today, and I'm worried that he was cheated."

Older people sometimes get confused, and Cheng Shuibei's worries are not unreasonable.

Cheng Wenqiu didn't answer him, and lowered his head to wash the dishes silently. Cheng Shuibei didn't dare to ask more questions, and just followed his father to help.

After washing the dishes and chopsticks, Cheng Wenqiu took the pots and pans and put them back into the low wooden box next to the briquette stove. After wiping his hands clean, he slowly said, "You say this, Uncle Zhang's life is much harder than ours."

Cheng Shuibei moved two small horses and sat with his father, ready to listen to the story of Uncle Zhang, which was more painful than theirs.

"Uncle Zhang's family is not here, and he didn't live here at first. He moved here in the year Cheng Nan was born, and he rented the Sandao Hutong side."

This side of Erdao Hutong is still the old houses in the village left over from the reconstruction of the urban area. Most of them are rented by people who make a living nearby. As for the side of Sandao Hutong, it was originally a dilapidated warehouse, and the living conditions are worse than here.

"He was originally a farmer. The husband and wife farmed and plowed the fields, and one son joined the army when he was a teenager. The young man was willing to endure hardships and was rated as a model soldier. Uncle Zhang said that his early life was more nourishing than anyone else. People from all over the world envy him."

Cheng Shuibei could even imagine old man Zhang sitting in the field with his military kettle in his arms, showing off his pride as a soldier's son to his neighbors.

"Then, the days changed."

"His son was demobilized and returned home. He didn't want to grow crops anymore, so he brought the savings of the old couple to the development zone here in Jiangshuo to learn how to start a business. I don't know what kind of business it is. Anyway, it took the whole family away in just a few years. I lost all my money and owed a lot of money.”

Old man Zhang paid back the money his son owed?Where is his son now?

"As for his son's partner, it is said that not only did he not pay the compensation, he even became an upstart...Uncle Zhang only found out about this later."

"While he was weeding, someone called and asked him to come to Jiangshuo to pick up his son. He thought that his son had committed some crime, so he borrowed a large sum of money to get his son back, but only here did he find out that his son was in debt because of debts. Tired, one can't think about jumping off the building."

"Such a good young man, if you say no, you will be gone."

Say no, it's gone.

If Cheng Wenqiu, who is telling the story at this moment, knows that his youngest son will end up with nothing in the end, what should he think?

Cheng Shuibei was in a trance, but Cheng Wenqiu stopped and asked him with concern: "Xiaobei, what's wrong with you, is it cold outside?"

It was only at this time that Cheng Shuibei realized that he had a stress reaction to the word "jump off a building", and he couldn't stop shivering whenever he heard it.

He pinched his own arm to calm himself down, and replied almost tremblingly: "It's okay, Uncle Cheng, you can continue, what happened next?"

Cheng Wenqiu was worried and gave Cheng Shuibei the jacket on his shoulders.

How could he know why his son was trembling, so he had to continue to tell the story of old man Zhang after caring.

"Uncle Zhang returned home with the ashes in his arms, and his wife fell ill with him. He went to find his son not long after. On the day of Aunt Zhang's funeral, many creditors came and blocked the spirit. They threatened to ask Mr. Zhang to pay his debts. .”

"Uncle Zhang knelt on the ground and swore that he would pay back the money, which allowed Aunt Zhang to rest in peace. Later, Uncle Zhang moved to the city where his son owed money and rented a newspaper kiosk, which has been up to now, rain or shine."

Cheng Wenqiu sighed five or six times before finishing the rest.

Cheng Shuibei couldn't help thinking about the scene of the honest farmer kneeling in the field, and was silent for a long time.

The son's debt is paid by the father, the four words were like a red-hot needle piercing his heart, and the pain was scalding.

"Okay, as long as you know about it, don't say it in front of Uncle Zhang, lest the old man be sad." Cheng Wenqiu patted the silent Cheng Shuibei on the back, turned back and shouted into the room, "Xiao Nan, what time is it?" , should I go to sleep!"

"Got it, Dad!" Cheng Nan reluctantly turned off the TV, came out and dragged Cheng Shuibei back to the room to sleep.

The small courtyard became quiet again in an instant.

Cheng Shuibei was still shivering uncontrollably until he fell into bed.

On the one hand, he sighed for old man Zhang, and on the other hand, he was stimulated by the word "jumping off a building".

He never thought about what happened to him after his death, and He Mingsui didn't care about his little savings, nor did he think about what would happen to Zhang Ci'an.

The son's debt is paid by the father.

After Cheng Shuibei owed the debt of favor, who would pay it back for him after a jump?

Suddenly, Cheng Shuibei felt something warm stuck to his back.

Cheng Nan hugged him behind his back, patting his little hands continuously: "Cheng Shuibei, are you having a nightmare? Don't be afraid. With me and Dad, ghosts won't come to hurt you."

With his father and elder brother in this life, what else should he be afraid of?

Cheng Shuibei turned his head, hugged Cheng Nan, and buried his head on his brother's chest like a child.

"Well, I'm not afraid."

Not afraid.
