Republic of China small businessman

Xie Siquan insisted on taking Xie Jing to buy a car, so he chose Dayang Motors.

When Xie Jing looked up and saw the signboard, she thought what a coincidence.

Siquan always goes to the Shanghai market two or three times a year, and knows a little bit about the car dealership, so he said with a smile: "This car dealership is good, the cars are the latest, and they have all the cars. If you like it, tell your uncle."

He took two steps in front, then turned around and called Xie Jing to follow.

Xie Jing could only follow in.

Sooner or later, he would have to tell Master Jiu about having an extra uncle. Since he had to spend a sum of money to buy a car, it would be better to spend it at home.

Bai Mingyu was not in the car dealership, Xie Jing walked around casually, Xie Siquan stayed by his side all the time, and asked him how he was doing when he saw a car taking a second look.Xie Jing just nodded and said "yes", Xie Siquan immediately turned his head and said: "Just this one, buy it."

It was so fast that Xie Jing hadn't even reacted.

After buying the car, Xie Jing looked around and asked, "Where's grandma?"

Xie Siquan said: "I asked them to take them to see the fabrics and satins. You definitely don't like those. Uncle will accompany you to shop around. Have you ever driven a car before? I'll find someone to teach you." He was eager to try, saying He wanted Xie Jing to practice with the new car, and it was completely used as a toy to coax his nephew to play with.

Xie Jing shook her head and said, "I only ride horses on weekdays."

Xie Siquan frowned with a smile, and immediately changed his words: "I also like riding horses. I have a lot of horses at home. Uncle will take you to ride horses later."

Hearing what he said, Xie Siquan didn't care about learning how to drive, and took Xie Jing to the department store to buy things.

After entering, he habitually took Xie Jing to the upstairs counter, first bought him two imported watches, picked out a gemstone tie clip, and took him to buy those western-style clothes that are popular nowadays.

Xie Jing didn't want it this time, she shook her head and said, "I don't usually use these." Besides, he uses guns a lot, and those clothes are not easy to put away.

Xie Siquan froze for a moment, showing a little helplessness, "Don't Jing'er like these, but boys your age usually—" He paused when he reached the point of his mouth, pursed his lips, and smiled again after a while, "It's uncle's fault. I think it's bad. If Jing'er doesn't like it, we won't buy it. Can you tell uncle what you want most now?"

Xie Jing wanted to sleep the most.

He didn't sleep all night last night, he was already struggling when he was in the car dealership, he was really tired.

Xie Jing pushed several things in a row, and seeing that his uncle was a little disappointed, he said, "Uncle, I want to buy a fountain pen." He paused, and then said, "I have read and can write."

Xie Siquan was really happy and bought him an American gold pen.

Xie Jing was curious about this uncle who appeared out of nowhere, secretly looked at him several times out of the corner of his eye, Xie Siquan let him watch, smiling.He looks very similar to Xie Jing, but he loves to smile more, and his lips are thinner. He is a handsome man. Even if he is dressed in bright clothes, he can only think of his style, which does not hide half of his appearance, especially on the left earlobe. The gemstone earring she was wearing was shining brightly after being exposed to light.

Xie Jing said, "Xichuan."

"Ok?"

Xie Jing tried her best to look forward, and pretended to talk to him as if nothing had happened: "At Xichuan, all men wear earrings, right? I'm going to fight too in the future?"

Xie Siquan was stunned, looked at him for a moment, and slowly showed a big smile on his face, his smile was so wanton that Xie Jing had already become suspicious.

Patriarch Xie nodded and said, "Yes, all of them."

Xie Jing frowned: "Really?"

"It's absolutely true, when we get back to Xichuan, I'll beat Jing'er myself." He reached out and rubbed Xie Jing's head, and said affectionately: "The car won't be delivered until evening, why don't I take you to ride a horse later?"

"No." Xie Jing shook his head, he really couldn't ride today.

Xie Siquan didn't force it, and took Xie Jing to buy a lot of things, and took whatever he saw, as if he wanted to buy all the things that his little nephew had been lacking for more than ten years in one go.He was more like treating Xie Jing like a child. When Xie Jing dissuaded him, Uncle Xie coaxed "I won't buy it" and then turned around and passed on, tried, and even touched Xie Jing's decorations , buy them all together, and bring them back together.

Xie Jing said: "It's really enough, I can't let it go at home."

Xie Siquan said: "Let it go, uncle has a way, we will go home later, the room is big." He spoke the last sentence quickly, and secretly looked at Xie Jing with his narrow eyes.

Xie Jing didn't realize that he was so sleepy that he couldn't hold on anymore, he was really tired, and he just wanted to go home now.

Xie Siquan bought a lot of presents for his little nephew, wrote down the address, and sent them back.He also wanted to take Xie Jing to eat big dishes, because Xie Jing didn't eat much at noon, and he planned to find some other delicious restaurants. Head dozed off.

Xie Siquan was chatting excitedly with Xie Jing at first, but when he looked back, he couldn't help laughing, the child had already fallen asleep.

He carefully protected Xie Jing's head with his hands, changed the address with the driver in a low voice, and took Xie Jing home.

Seeing that he loved him all the way, the taxi driver couldn't help but said, "Sir, is this your younger brother? You two have a really good relationship."

Xie Siquan laughed, looked down at the little nephew, and said that the nephew looks like an uncle, and the two of them do look a bit similar, plus the climate in Sichuan is humid and there is little sunshine, and he looks younger than ordinary people. It used to be more like brothers indeed.But no matter what, what made him happiest was that others could tell at a glance that they were blood relatives, that they were the children of the Xie family.

Xie Siquan was in a good mood, and he was happy to tip the driver when he got off the bus.

Xie Jing dozed off, woke up in a daze and found that he had arrived at Grandma Kou's residence, and hadn't reacted for a while.

Xie Siquan pushed him into the bedroom to rest, hooked a high bench with his feet and came over, sat on the opposite side of the bed and looked at him: "I see you are tired, go to sleep, uncle will watch over you."

Xie Jing sat on the edge of the bed with her hair up in sleep, was pushed by Xie Siquan and fell into the soft quilt, feeling sleepy for a while.

He tried to open his eyes, and wanted to look at the people beside him: "Uncle..."

Xie Siquan's heart softened, and he raised his hand to cover him with a quilt, "Huh?"

"Grandma said that you must be very tired when you came here from Xichuan." Xie Jing said in a nasal voice, her eyes could hardly be opened, "You should also go to rest."

Xie Siquan stretched out his hand to smooth the broken hair on his forehead, and said with a smile: "Uncle is not sleepy, I, sleeping for two hours a day is enough, it has been like this since I was a child. Didn't grandma tell you about it?"

Xie Jing shook her head, and whispered after a while: "You don't look very old."

Xie Siquan: "Much bigger than you."

Xie Jing said "Oh", her eyelashes trembled slightly, and slowly fell asleep there.

The window was opened a little in the room, the wind blew in and the gauze curtains were blown open, the sunlight from outside came in and fell on Xie Siquan. He sat by the bed and blocked most of the light for Xie Jing, so he couldn't see his face clearly. Just saw the smile on his lips.

When Grandma Kou came back, Xie Jing was still asleep.

Xie Siquan put on a dress and sat on a stool beside him, resting his chin on one hand, and playing with Xie Jing's hair with his fingers on the other hand.Grandma Kou walked in lightly, worried that he would wake up Xie Jing, who looked like a big kid with a little friend.

"Is Jing'er asleep?"

Xie Siquan nodded and smiled lightly.

His eyes still fell on Xie Jing, his eyes were soft, and he whispered: "Bao Bao, was Jing'er also so good when she was a child?"

Grandma Kou: "Yes."

Xie Siquan looked at it for a moment, reluctant to look away: "Unfortunately, I didn't see it."

Grandma Kou sighed softly: "It's not too late now."

"Baobao, he called me 'uncle' a total of eighteen times today, and he called me very nicely. I don't know why, but whenever I saw him, I wanted to spend money on him." Patriarch Xie whispered, "He is a good boy , Baobao taught very well.”

Xie Jing slept deeply, and he didn't need his uncle to coax him to sleep.

Xie Siquan stood guard for a while, waved his hands and went outside to talk with Grandma Kou.

In the morning, Xie Siquan took people to find Grandma Kou’s residence. After being pleasantly surprised, the old lady had already told him about her and Xie Jing’s past years in Beidi. I made a rough idea.Now that they have free time, the two sat there, Xie Siquan asked: "Baobao, how did my sister get there in the first place, but someone hurt her?"

Grandma Kou's eyes were red, and said: "My uncle bought a boat in Jin City, and before returning from the sea, a group of bandits suddenly broke into the mansion. The lady seemed to have a premonition, and prepared a carriage to take me and my two breasts from the back door. The mother fled in a hurry, but the gang chased and killed her along the way. The young lady became pregnant and gave birth to Jing'er in the car. Before leaving, the young lady told me that I would not go back to Xichuan until I walked north along the railway for fear of danger. ..."

Xie Siquan's eyes were red, his knuckles turned white from clenched hands, he closed his eyes and said, "Lie."

Grandma Kou said: "It is indeed the young lady's last request."

Xie Siquan opened his eyes again, tears were streaming down his eyes, and his eyes were flushed: "Sister is afraid that He Dongting won't help me take down the position of Patriarch, so I won't let you take Jing'er back to Xichuan." His Adam's apple rolled, and he choked up, "She knew that I was young and vigorous, and I couldn't stand in Xichuan at that time. I even had to buy the boat from the He family. She was afraid that I would kill the important person of the He family with a knife and cause death."

Grandma Kou had tears in her eyes, she stroked Xie Siquan's cheek, she didn't say yes, but she didn't deny it either.

Xie Siquan closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Baobao, if I had known this earlier, I would have desperately refused to marry him."

"Master, you have grown up now."

"Sister is gone, but he is alive and well."

After listening to the reaction for a moment, Grandma Kou suddenly stood up and said in astonishment: "You said uncle, he, he is still alive?!"

Xie Siquan said indifferently: "Naturally, he was alive. When he was shipwrecked, his life was fatal. He met a fishing boat and saved his life."

Grandma Kou covered her mouth, a stream of tears rolled down her face, and recited a sentence of Buddha: "It's really the blessing of the Buddha. Back then, my son-in-law went to sea and never came back. I just thought of him..."

Xie Siquan frowned, and asked, "Baobao, sister won't let you go back to Xichuan, so why didn't you bring Jing'er back to He's house?"

Grandma Kou: "Why didn't you go? My uncle hadn't heard from me at that time, and I was afraid of meeting those gangsters on the way, so I had to spend some money to ask people to go to the He family to inquire about the situation. I heard that the He family published a report in the newspaper. The obituary, the family was being separated at that time, and there was a lot of trouble," she thought for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I can't trust the He family, this is the last bit of young lady's flesh and blood, and I will risk my life to save it. It's so small, like a cat, it doesn't make a loud cry, how dare I send him into He's house."

Grandma Kou thought about sending Xie Jing back, but she was finally afraid.

She had already lost her young lady, and she could not lose this child in her arms again.

If she is sent to the He family, she is an old mother, and it is only a matter of one sentence to be driven away. How should her Jing'er survive?

So she carried the child and went to the Northland overnight.

Grandma Kou asked many things about the He family, especially about He Dongting. After hearing that he was also in Shanghai, he hesitated and said: "Master, Jing'er is grown up now, I still don't think I should keep it from him...Since my uncle is still alive, We should let their father and son recognize each other."

Xie Siquan frowned, and said in a low voice: "Baobao, I won't hide it from you, He Dongting has raised a child by his side for more than ten years."

Grandma Kou was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do with her hands and feet. She opened her mouth a few times and her eyes were still red: "My uncle, my uncle married another man, right? Oh, I know, you just didn't say you knew your relatives. Thing, my uncle has been living for so many years, if he is alive, he should marry another big lady..."

Xie Siquan shook his head, and said: "No, he only recognizes his sister." After saying this, his tone became a little loose, "The He family said that it is the child of sister, the young master of their family."

Grandma Kou was puzzled: "How is it possible, Jing'er has always been by my side and has never been anywhere. Where did the young master come from?"

"Boss He loves his only son like a pearl. Everyone in Shanghai knows that there is nothing wrong with it." Xie Siquan sneered, "The son He Dongting has raised for more than ten years is actually a fake, Baobao, you call him stupid. Not stupid?"

Grandma Kou frowned: "My uncle shouldn't be like this."

"It shouldn't be like this. Although I don't like He Dongting, he's really smart. Baobao, if he has been cheated for more than ten years, how good is the other party?" Xie Siquan narrowed his eyes slightly. , "Baobao, I always feel that there is something wrong with what you said just now. I have to think about it again. You should hide for a few days so that no one will notice. Now He Dongting doesn't know that you have come to Shanghai Stock Exchange. This is just right, Jing The children are in the dark, but they are in the light, so they are safer."

Grandma Kou was a little nervous for a while: "How about I take Jing'er back to the Northland first?"

Xie Siquan smiled and said: "Baobao, don't be afraid, you think I still have to buy a boat from the He family, just to see people's faces? The Xie family is now my head, you and Jing'er don't have to go anywhere, just be at my side with peace of mind."

Grandma Kou nodded, and asked again: "Then do you want to tell Jing'er about this?"

Xie Siquan shook his head: "No, I'll tell Jing'er after I find out, he's still young, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it for a while."

Grandma Kou nodded in agreement, with a worried look on her face.

Xie Siquan coaxed her for a while to tell her not to be afraid, and after telling her something about Xie's family in Shangcheng, she saw the old lady relax.

Xie Siquan looked at her, but thought of another person in his heart.

He grew up too late to protect his sister.

In the evening, Xie Siquan didn't go anywhere else, but carried a quilt to Xie Jing's room.He said to Grandma Kou, "Baobao, I'll go to Jing'er's room and just put up a bench to sleep on."

Grandma Kou said: "How can I do it..."

"Okay, let me guard him."

Seeing his serious expression, Grandma Kou sighed inwardly and nodded in agreement.

Xie Siquan was well-clothed and well-fed, but he was also able to endure hardships, so he collapsed down to sleep on a stool, and enjoyed it as much as he liked.

Grandma Kou felt sorry for him, so she found an extra quilt for him to spread, murmured a few words in a low voice, and he had to let him go.

In the room, Xie Jing was still asleep. He was really tired and slept soundly.

Xie Siquan combined two benches, spread them casually and lay down on them, with his feet crossed and his hands behind his head.He closed his eyes, probably because Xie Jing was by his side, he dreamed about the past 20 years ago.

At that time, he was not yet ten years old, and he was holding two mastiff dogs in his hands to prevent them from jumping forward.Elder Sister was coaxing the stranger from the tree to come down, she put her hand to her mouth and shouted to him: "Hey, come down—"

The man shook his head desperately, refusing to come down.

Elder Sister laughed, and while waving her hand to ask him to pull the mastiff away, the man on the tree said: "My mastiff doesn't eat people, so I won't lie to you."

Little Xie Siquan was very upset, he had never seen a person who was so afraid of dogs, he jumped so high that he almost reached the top of the tree.

I don't know how sister persuaded, but the other party finally came down.The one who jumped off the tree was a young man, with the appearance of a poor scholar who had studied, gentle, with a fair face, although some branches and leaves were hanging on his body, but when he bowed his hands and said hello, he could still see his grace.

Unlike them Xichuan people, they always laugh, have a gentle temper, and don't seem to be in a hurry when encountering anything.

Little Xie Siquan snorted, calling him a fake wife in his heart.

The wife is the person he hates the most now, but when his elder sister asked him to study, he reluctantly read it.Master is also from the Central Plains like this, it hurts a lot when beating someone, but it is not as good as the tears she shed when Sister blew his hand, when Sister cried, he felt uncomfortable.He doesn't get beaten very much now, as long as he works hard, reading is not too difficult.

The scholar from out of town was named He Dongting, he could play ditties with willow branches, and he could write poems and draw pictures. My sister said that his family had "hairpin tassels from generation to generation" and asked him to worship him as the new husband.

Xie Siquan curled his lips, the emperor is gone, what use are those names!

But the scholar surnamed He coaxed sister to be happy, so he also worshiped.

Elder Sister talked more and more with him, and they walked closer and closer. Sometimes Xie Siquan was worried and always followed them secretly. He Dongting's voice was low and gentle when he heard them talking, but Elder Sister's was very crisp, listening to every sentence. Clearly.

"I raised the mastiff. It can protect my younger brother. It listens to us very much on weekdays. If you don't wander around, it won't bite you."

"My younger brother is very sensible, he will pick fruit for me to eat, and he will protect me from the clan elders."

"My parents left early, it's just the two of us, but don't think I'm easy to bully, later you have to draw me more beautiful, if I'm ugly, I'll let the mastiff chase you up a mountain~"

……

Xie's family is rich, but only their siblings depend on each other for life. My sister tried her best to protect him from growing up.

Sister waited for several years, and finally got married.A scholar surnamed He bought two boats as a dowry gift, three matchmakers and six hires, and ten miles of red makeup.

He only had this one elder sister, and when his elder sister got married, he was the one who cried the loudest.The eldest sister is like a mother, how can their relationship be compared with that of ordinary people?

Regardless of the dissuasion of others, the elder sister walked down from the sedan chair, wiped away his tears, and coaxed him: "What are you crying for? Come and see me, maybe there will be a little nephew in two years... oh, don't cry!"

He still cried uncontrollably, feeling that his most important person was taken away.

Two years later, he really received bad news.

He traveled thousands of miles and took people to He's house, wishing he could die with He Dongting, but what he saw was He Dongting who looked haggard and only knew he was holding an urn.

He beat and scolded, and finally wept bitterly while holding the coffin.

He blamed He Dongting for not protecting Sister.

Why doesn't He Dongting blame himself?

Later he thought, maybe sister must be happy to know that He Dongting is still alive.

When my elder sister likes something, her eyes are bright. From the first time she saw the scholar who climbed the tree, her eyes were shining.

……

There were tears in Xie Siquan's eyes, he opened them slowly, unable to tell whether it was a dream or reality.

He heard the sound of a child smacking his lips next to his ear, and he turned over and fell asleep again after a few soft clicks.

Xie Siquan laughed silently, then closed his eyes again.

Sister A's child was found, her brows, eyes and lips looked like Sister A's, but the bridge of her nose was too straight, so she looked a little bit like He.

But only a little bit.

On the other side, the east courtyard.

When the guards came to report to Lord Jiu, there was already a black-clothed spy standing there in the study and told about Patriarch Xie's visit to Shanghai. Master Jiu took a look at them, and they were slightly injured, but not serious .

The guard said: "Master, we were guarding outside. Those Xichuan people are so unreasonable, so they will do it when they come up."

Master Jiu said softly: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding, but did you get hurt?"

The guard shook his head.

Master Jiu thought for a moment, and then asked, "Is the other party hurt?"

The guard thought about it carefully for a moment, and said uncertainly, "I only punched and kicked, so there shouldn't be any injuries." At least they couldn't see it on the surface. They beat people professionally, and they never slapped people in the face.

Jiu Ye said: "I don't need to guard these days, I also withdraw the people who followed Jing'er. Xie Siquan brought a lot of good hands, you are not hurt, it is because of his mercy."

The guard agreed and went down to deliver the message.

Master Jiu delayed dinner for a while, and came out of the study to eat after the meal was reheated.

Sitting there, Bai Mingyu didn't know what happened. After eating half a bowl of rice, he suddenly realized, and asked, "Why didn't Xiao Xie come to eat?"

Master Jiu said: "He has something to do at home."

Bai Mingyu wanted to ask again, but Master Jiu interrupted him: "Don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep."

Bai Mingyu: "..."

Bai Er honestly eats food, he can see that the rules here are set for him.

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

When we first met——

He Dongting: Let me go, girl, I will come down from the tree.

Miss Xie: Hahaha~

Xie Siquan (jumping in anger): Despicable outsider!
