Re-select the life system

Chapter 190

The old woman's eyes were blank, and she slowly walked out of the house. With her lips slightly opened, she finally shouted out the greeting that was 53 years late!
"Brother! My eldest brother!"

Grandpa's eyes were already moist at this time, but his whole body was stiff, his hands stretched out, but he couldn't move at all.

Looking at the old woman's already wrinkled face, he seemed to be looking for the Yun'er who was wearing a calico skirt and acting coquettishly to him in his memory. !"

The two old men burst into tears, weeping uncontrollably, the old woman stretched out her hand, and finally took the elder brother's hand.

Touching her elder brother's thick and callused hands, the old woman once again felt the discomfort and pain in her heart. At this moment, no matter how many words there are, it is difficult to speak, and the anticipation between the siblings can no longer be stopped!

I cried and cried, and then when there were more smiles than tears, the old lady hurriedly greeted a few people to go upstairs.

This is her own shop, the old lady asked the neighbors to help look at the shop, a few neighbors also came up, and when they learned that it was the old lady's elder brother, they immediately congratulated her.

Grandpa was most concerned about his old mother, so he quickly asked, and learned that the old mother was picked up by the old woman's husband and sent to a nearby hospital for an examination because of an occasional cold, and she will be back soon, so there is no need to worry.

Although grandpa is very anxious, he can only go upstairs first.

A few people went upstairs and opened the door. The inside was very tidy and clean, ten or eight times better than the second grandpa's pigsty. They sat on the sofa, and the old lady quickly started to make tea and water.

In the living room, there is a family portrait. There are eight people in it, including three old people, a couple, and three young people. When Grandpa saw the three old people, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The old lady went to pour tea, and the second grandpa pointed to the old man and said.

"This is my grandma. The two elderly people next to me are the parents of my sister's husband, and these three are my sister's three children. These children are very sensible and hardworking. They all graduated from college. Now They are already working, unlike my Anzi, who is in his late thirties and is still hanging around outside. The photo was taken ten years ago. My father passed away in 76. He has been reluctant to take a family portrait, so he didn’t How many photos are left!"

Grandpa pondered for a while, looking at the family portrait seriously, until the old lady poured the tea, and the few people appeared and returned to the sofa.

Grandpa also hurriedly introduced grandma and uncle Qin He to the old woman, and the old woman nodded again and again, holding grandma's hand and nagging for a while, saying that grandma was suffering.

Qin He was a light bulb all the way, and no one cared about his grandson. Grandpa asked him to call him "aunt and grandmother". Qin He felt a little awkward, but he still called out with a smile.

My aunt and grandmother seemed to have endless things to say, and they kept asking grandpa about his experiences over the years, and she couldn't hold back tears every time she talked about sadness.

Speaking of this, my aunt and grandmother finally told some things about that year. Back then, her third uncle dragged her to find a boat, because the Zhang family was in northern Hunan again, and time was running out. After many months, I finally came to Wanwan.

At that time, they thought that grandpa had relatives to take care of him in the provincial school, and they would send someone to pick up grandpa after the Zhang family settled down in Wanwan, but the plan could never keep up with the changes.

First, it was difficult for the Zhang family to settle down in Wanwan. With such a large family, who would care about the sons of the fourth family? After the Zhang family settled down in Wanwan, it was already the 50s, and the mainland had already been turned upside down. Landlords and old fortunes have no place to live.

Wanting to return to the mainland from Wanwan to pick up someone is simply impossible, and this matter has become a lifetime of pain for my grandfather. Although a second grandfather was born later, Zhang's father still died in depression.

Father Zhang's death was not a big deal to the Zhang family at that time, because during that time, several brothers in the family were discussing how to divide the family, and the death of the fourth child was actually a good thing.

Although the Zhang family is a down-and-out family, the arrogance is still there. At that time, the family was rich and well-off. After gaining a foothold in Wanwan, they also began to develop into the political and business circles. The factory, and also bought a lot of land, can be regarded as a wealthy family.

At the end of the 70s, the population of the Zhang family had exceeded 300, which was three times higher than when they first moved to Wanwan, but conflicts naturally emerged due to the large number of people.

Finally, in [-], the Zhang family officially separated. The family was big and the business was big, but the population was larger. In the end, Zhang’s father had only a piece of land on the outskirts of the city because his children were few, and his grandfather’s father had passed away.

In fact, this land is quite a lot, at least as long as a street and as large as two to three hundred acres. The house where the second grandpa lives now is [-] meters in front and back. It used to be the second grandpa's house.

If it develops normally, relying on this piece of land, it is not a bad thing to be a small landlord in Wanwan, but the second grandfather himself is not up to date, and his son Zhang Quanan is even less up to date. In the end, the father and son only lived for more than ten years. , all the ancestral property was wiped out, and only the two-story old house remained.

Speaking of her younger brother, my aunt and grandmother sighed, embarrassing the second grandfather who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, and hurriedly found a topic to discuss his own affairs.

Qin He also just listened quietly, he wasn't really touched, or in his other heart, this kind of joys and sorrows, as if he had experienced more things than them, and had seen too much.

There will always be regrets in a person's life. How many people have a life without regrets?
Several people were chatting, when suddenly, the sound of turning the key came from the door. Hearing this sound, everyone looked at the door in unison. Grandpa even stood up abruptly, and my aunt and grandmother immediately stood up with a smile, facing towards the door. Fairness.

"Brother, wait a minute, don't get too excited. Although Grandma is in good health, don't get too excited, both of you!"

Grandpa nodded with a complicated expression, and walked slowly to the door.

The door was slowly opened, and the first thing that appeared in sight was a kind white-haired old man, who lowered his head and whispered to the back.

"Mom, Dr. Wu said that I have to go for a re-examination next week. Remember not to eat breakfast that day. After the re-examination..."

Before the old man finished speaking, he just raised his head and saw everyone in the room, he was speechless.

My aunt and grandmother hurried forward with a smile.

"Jiaxiang, come in quickly, Mom, come in quickly, my brother is here!"

The old man behind the old man finally showed his figure. The old lady, who was over eighty years old, was thin and small, but she was in good spirits. When she heard her daughter's words, she quickly raised her head and searched among several people.

At this time, the grandfather lost his former calmness, and walked forward in two or three steps, and helped the old lady who had just entered the room. The old lady was thin and small, and was hugged by the grandfather.

The old lady was so excited that she couldn't talk to herself, she touched Grandpa's cheeks with her small hands, and after a while, she finally let out a few whimpers, the old hand hammered on Grandpa's chest, and the dry eye sockets were moist.

Grandpa called mom, and then called mom several times. Everyone felt the sincere emotion. Grandma and aunts and grandmothers all had moist eyes and wiped away tears.

The aunt's grandmother's husband also reacted at this time, and also showed a kind smile, with red eyes, watching the scene of the reunion of mother and child.

Qin He also breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, this trip to Wanwan can be regarded as reaching the destination in the true sense.

For the next period of time, the grandfather kept holding his mother's hand, and the old lady never left the figure of the grandfather for a moment. She sat on the sofa again and began to talk about the hardships of so many years.

In fact, at this moment, the regrets in Grandpa's heart for many years have already disappeared, and the answer that has been suppressed for a lifetime has already been frozen and disintegrated at this moment!
Although he did not see the father whom he misses day and night in the end, but heaven and man are separated forever, he can also imagine that his father's regrets in these years are no less than his. If his father knows it, he will probably be relieved today!
At his aunt's grandmother's house, Qin He also experienced the feeling of visiting relatives. For dinner, everyone had a happy reunion dinner. The aunt's grandmother and his wife really regarded grandpa and his party as a family, and asked grandpa and grandma to feel at ease After staying down, he called his children and informed them to come back as soon as possible.

The second grandfather also made several phone calls to his ignorant son Zhang Quan'an, urging him to come to his aunt's house.

In the next two days, Qin He also received several red envelopes. Everyone treated him like a child. Qin He didn't bother to explain that this trip to visit relatives was planned by himself. He really treated himself like a child. Yes, the red envelopes are accepted, and start to experience the style of Wanwan!

After two days of shopping, Qin He discovered that Wanwan had a distinct image of an island country, including architecture and street design, and even some aspects of basic necessities of life, such as food, housing and transportation.

I am not used to living in this kind of place. Qin He walked around several times, except for a comic book store, which was also a video game store. He was not short of money. The red envelopes he received these days were all [-] to [-] Taiwan dollars. up!
This weekend, my aunt's grandmother's eldest son took the lead to drive home in a small car.

In fact, young people don't have that deep affection for the older generation, but considering the feelings of their parents, as the younger generation, they still have to come back.

The other party was in his early forties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and obviously an elite person. Qin He called his cousin and got another red envelope. There was nothing unexpected. The family chatted for a while, and had a meal. God, this cousin left in a hurry again.

In the next few days, my aunt's grandmother's second son and third son came back in their own cars. They didn't bring their families with them. They each had a meal at home and exchanged greetings. The other party and the older generation had nothing in common. Other than asking that work is life, stay home overnight and leave the next day.

This kind of casual visit to relatives has also become a habit. After careful calculation, the few of us have been here for almost a week, and today is June [-]nd.

It's only been a week, and Qin He feels a little annoyed. Apart from walking around the neighborhood every day, he just watches TV. There are a few little ghosts downstairs who are curious about him, but he doesn't want to be friends with them.

But looking at the grandpa and grandma chatting with the old lady every day, it felt like they were all in a stable and peaceful scene, which made Qin He feel embarrassed to propose going home.

In fact, my uncle wanted to go home a long time ago. As the eldest son, he is already in his 40s, and these days he is introduced as if he is pretending to be a grandson.

Even if he meets people of the same age, the children of his aunt's family have no intention of communicating with him at all, and he is a little tormented in his heart, looking forward to going home early, and he doesn't know how the business of his duck neck shop is doing?

Of course Qin He also noticed it, but it was rare to come out, at least he would have to stay for half a month, and then wait for another week, then he would secretly talk to his grandma and ask grandma what her plan was!
Qin He was thinking, should he and his uncle go back first, and let grandpa and grandma stay here for a few more months, or even in the future, he can simply pay for them to retire here.

Just thinking, on this day, Qin He was playing video games in a video game store on the opposite street. This was the only place he could find to pass the time in the past few days. Comic books, he had no interest.

While playing, suddenly a motorcycle stopped at the entrance of the video game store. A man and a woman got off the motorcycle. Qin He glanced at them, and saw the temperament and attire of the two, they looked like local hooligans.

The man wears a pair of shorts and a long tracksuit with long hair, the woman wears a set of short sleeves, her chest is a little exposed, and her lower body is a set of stockings. Both of them have tattoos. People are not people, ghosts Not a ghostly look.

Qin He didn't think much about it, he was playing King of Fighters 97, having a great time, when suddenly, a pack of cigarettes and two bottles of drinks were placed on the game table next to him, and a handful of coins were scattered on the table.

Qin He saw in a blink of an eye that it was the man and the woman just now. The two directly moved a stool and sat next to him, and began to play against each other. They chatted while playing.

"The old ghost has been on the phone for the past few days, saying that a group of relatives from the mainland have come over, and they have been asking me to meet them in the past. Wait a minute, you can play here for a while, and I will go to my aunt's house to see , I'll be back in a while!"

The girl took a puff of a cigarette and said casually.

"Okay, remember to ask for some money. If you buy Brazil tonight, you will definitely make a fortune!"

"okay, I get it!"

The conversation between the two surprised Qin He a little. Qin He just finished this round of the game, and turned his head to look at the two of them.

At the beginning, I didn't look carefully, but after looking at it, I found that this man seemed to be not too young, at least in his thirties, and dressed in such a ghostly way, Qin He immediately thought that his second grandfather said that his son Zhang Quanan had died. There are people in their thirties, and they still owe a lot of gambling debts.

Could it be this kid?
"Hey, hey, kid, what are you looking at?"

Qin He's peeking happened to be seen by the other party, and the man thought the brat was peeking at his girlfriend, so he immediately looked viciously at Qin He!
Qin He smiled at the man, stopped playing games, but turned around and looked at the two of them carefully.

The man was also a little apprehensive when Qin He looked at him, he slapped the Coke on the game table viciously, and yelled at Qin He.

"Little devil, you are very brave! Do you want to be beaten?"

Qin He couldn't stand the boys from Wanwan talking with ending accents, which sounded like a sissy.

"Hehe, let me tell you, old man, you are quite old, and you are still dressed like this, are you pretending to be young or young?"

Qin He's old uncle made the other party completely confused. He thought that Qin He was mocking his age this time and was about to get angry when the kid on the other side spoke again.

"Also, Zhang Quan'an, you are already in your thirties, and you still want to get money from your elders, don't you feel ashamed?"

The other party was completely taken aback, the two of them stopped playing games, and Qi Qi turned around to look at Qin He.

"How do you know my name? There's still my business, don't mind your business! Brat, I'll warn you again! Be careful, I'll beat you!"

Qin He shook his head helplessly, crossed his legs, picked up a game coin, and said in a very calm tone.

"I'm the mainland native relative you mentioned, and your father is my second grandfather, so I call you uncle, isn't it wrong? At such an old age, you are a real failure in life. !"

Qin He introduced himself to his family, leaving Zhang Quan'an completely speechless. He pointed at Qin He and wanted to say something harsh, but he didn't know what to say. He looked at Qin He carefully several times before slowing down and speaking with uncertainty. tone asked.

"Are you really my relative?"

"Nonsense, from what you said just now, I knew you were the Anzi who was in his thirties and owed a lot of gambling debts!"

Now, Zhang Quan'an believed it completely, looked at his horse, smiled helplessly, and said in a kind tone.

"It's all a family. Don't listen to what my dad said. I have something to do these days. It's not too late. Which kid, that... nephew, what do you call it?"

Qin He smiled and spoke very generously.

"Just call me Qin He, you are really planning to leave after a while! Go back and have a meal. I have been in Wanwan for a week, and it is really boring. I think you are having a good time, old man! Tonight Take me to experience it?"

Zhang Quanan faltered and wanted to refuse, but Qin He immediately took out a stack of thick Taiwan dollars from his pocket and waved at Zhang Quanan.

"I've received 3 to [-] yuan in red envelopes these days. This money can't be used in mainland China, and this video game doesn't cost much! Uncle, take me to see the nightlife in your bay!"

When Zhang Quanan and the girl saw the banknote in Qin He's hand, their eyes lit up immediately. Before Zhang Quanan could speak, the girl had already taken the first step, and wanted to reach out to take the banknote from Qin He's hand.

With Qin He's little hand, the money has already been taken back.

Seeing this, the girl hurried forward with a smile, hugged Qin He to her side, and deliberately pressed the little steamed bun on Qin He's shoulder, speaking in an ambiguous tone.

"Little nephew is coming to Wanwan for the first time. We must do something. Tonight, my sister will take you all over Taipei, and I promise to make you comfortable!"

Zhang Quan'an also came to his senses at this time, and quickly echoed, he had already forgotten the unhappiness just now, the intimacy was even more intimate than seeing his own nephew, the two were impatient, and hurriedly pulled Qin He towards his aunt's grandmother's house.

He obviously wanted to finish seeing his elders sooner, and take Qin He to the waves, to fly!
