"Gong Hu?"

Seeing this wretched-looking old guy with a stooped waist and a scruffy face even though he was wearing brand-new clothes, Qian Ming couldn't help but let out a cry, and then he let go of the accelerator with his right hand out of surprise, and with a chug, he had hung up the car. The motorcycle that was in gear suddenly jumped forward a few centimeters, and turned off with a bang.

"Hey, Qian Ming?" Gong Hu grinned happily, showing yellow teeth.

then……

The two said in unison: "How do you know my name?"

A moment of silence.

"I want to know your name, it's not difficult." Gong Hu took two puffs of cigarette triumphantly, his eyes narrowed.

Qian Ming also reacted quickly, his expression returned to calm, he straddled the motorcycle without getting off, took out a cigarette and lit one, and said slowly, "You are famous, I don't want to know your name, it's hard."

"Heh." Gong Hu laughed, leaned over and said, "Thank you, thank you."

Qian Ming tilted his body in disgust, and said, "You should say thank you first when you see me, right? I'm your lifesaver..."

"I asked you to save me?" Gong Hu stared angrily.

Qian Ming was stunned.

"Do you still want me to owe you favors just for this little shit?" Gong Hu seemed to be afraid that he would owe others favors, holding a cigarette stick and puffing out thick choking smoke while circling around to look at Qian Ming , like an elder reprimanding and teaching juniors, the cigarette rod moved up and down, and said old-fashionedly: "If you want me to say, you have to thank me for giving you a good chance to save lives and heal the wounded and become a hero, right? Besides, if you don't I fought that scum to death, and with your little knowledge, someone would have already killed him... Then, let me be more generous, and we're evenly matched."

Qian Ming had never seen such a rascal before, and he didn't have a good impression of Gong Hu, so he sneered with disgust, "I'm a thief if I'm old and not dead, you're talking about people like you, right?"

"What eyes do you have?" Gong Hu poked his neck and said angrily, "I'm still very young!"

"Okay." Qian Ming was helpless, and said: "Goodbye, oh no, don't say goodbye..." While talking, he picked up the gear, and then kicked the motorcycle to start.

Gong Hu stood in front of the motorcycle, glanced at the locked and rusty old courtyard door, and asked with a half-smile, "What are you doing here?"

"What are you doing here again?" Qian Ming sneered.

"I'm here to find Old Man Wang..."

"I'm here to find Master Wang."

Gong Hu didn't care about Qian Ming's disgusted expression at all, and said with a smile: "Old man Wang and I are old friends, so how do you know about old man Wang?"

"I won't tell you." Qian Ming smiled.

"Fuck..." Gong Hu was furious.

Qian Ming put on his helmet and kicked the motorcycle, turned on the headlights, and without even looking at Gong Hu, he slammed the gas pedal and ran over Gong Hu's emaciated body.

In the narrow and dark alley, only Gong Hu stood there alone.

He lightly tapped the smoke pot on the wall next to him twice, and when he was about to turn around to leave, he suddenly seemed to have discovered something, frowned slightly, turned around and climbed up the small steps with only two floors, and gently tapped his right hand He landed on the dilapidated wooden door on the right with several cracks, and groped cautiously.

after awhile.

Gong Hu said happily to himself, "Old Wangtou has been hiding for half his life, and he hasn't been idle, and he knows quite a few people."

Then, he suddenly thought of Su Chunfeng.

Su Chunfeng went to school in Jinzhou County No. [-] Middle School, and Qian Ming was a teacher in Jinzhou County No. [-] Middle School——Su Chunfeng knew Wang Qimin's identity as a magician, but with Wang Qimin's character and his secret status as an inheritor of tricks, he definitely would not know Qian Ming , and it is impossible to accept Qian Ming as an apprentice.If not, why would Wang Qimin run away from home to find his apprentice and never come back for three or two years?Therefore, Qian Ming came here for no reason...

Among them, will there be any connection?

……

The fifth day of the first lunar month.

The employees of Vantone Logistics Park, except those who really have something to do at home, have basically come to work.Because many freight and logistics companies will open tomorrow, the logistics park will start a busy new year.

So on this day, Su Cheng and Chen Xiulan were able to spare time and take their two children to Wumiao Village, Guanmiao Township.

Wumiao Village is Chen Xiulan's natal family, only six or seven miles away from Hetang Village.

At the end of the twelfth lunar month last year, Chen Shunhe discussed with his family and relatives that the whole family would get together during the Chinese New Year this year.Considering that Su Cheng and Chen Xiulan are very busy with their careers, everyone agreed to set a date for the fifth day of the fifth day, and to reunite with Chen Shunhe's family while they were free.

Today, Chen Shunhe's family's financial conditions are also booming - he bought the combine harvester from his brother-in-law Su Cheng the year before last, and he has made a lot of money in the past two years.In addition, the store contracted by Vantone Logistics Park last spring, with the growing prosperity of the logistics park, that small store alone can make him a net income of more than 4000 yuan every month... In these small days, all but relatives and family members It is definitely famous outside of my sister's house.

No, last spring he started to renovate the house, and the whole family moved into the new house in winter.

In the words of the country people: "Chen Shunhe is now living in a small western-style building."

The so-called Xiaoyanglou is just a name handed down from the older generation. In fact, there is nothing out of the ordinary—a two-story building built straight up and down. The outer wall is covered with white tiles, aluminum alloy doors and windows, and blue. glass.In addition, there is a kitchen in the east, two huts in the west, a storage room, and a small boiler room, which is used for heating in winter.

These days, there are not many buildings in the countryside, and those who can build buildings must be families with relatively superior economic conditions.Moreover, the homestead of Chen Shunhe's family is an old house, and the place is big - it can be three times bigger than the house of Su Cheng's family.

High courtyard walls, majestic gatehouses, spacious courtyards, brand new buildings...

Who doesn't envy the neighbors, relatives and friends?

At ten o'clock in the morning, almost all relatives and relatives arrived.

Chen Shunhe's wife, Hao Jinfeng, as well as the women in the family and relatives, chose vegetables and cut meat in the spacious and warm hall on the first floor, and they were busy cooking in the kitchen.

In the living room on the second floor.

A group of old men, big and small, sat on the sofa, smoking, drinking tea and chatting.

The children are running, jumping and playing upstairs and downstairs in the courtyard...

As the host, Chen Shunhe was so busy with a daughter and a son that he kept his feet on the ground, picking up one thing and looking for another, and had to chat with relatives from time to time.

A big happy family.

Today, Chen Xian's family also came.

When I came here, I drove two small cars. Chen Yufan used the bus for private use and brought his wife and children.And what Chen Yufang was driving was naturally her beautiful pink Fukang car, carrying her parents.These days there are relatives who drive small cars, and there are two of them, which makes Chen Shun and his wife look good in the village.

In fact, Chen Yufan and Chen Yufang, brother and sister, were influenced by their parents since they were young, so they don't really like to visit relatives in the countryside.However, due to the insistence of their parents, especially their father Chen Xian, they had no choice but to agree to come here to attend the so-called family reunion on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Now in Old Chen's family, Chen Xian can be regarded as the second elder.

He still has a cousin alive, and another cousin.It's just that my own brother and sister have passed away early.

Perhaps it was because of the great improvement in the financial conditions of the niece Chen Yufang's family, as well as Su Chunfeng's previous advice to Chen Xian and harsh words, which changed Chen Xian's mentality.Or, Chen Xian, after retiring and staying at home, gradually began to reflect on his past as he grew older, began to know how to miss, and thus felt a little bit like a dead fox?Therefore, Chen Xian and his wife Jiang Ruying are no longer as indifferent to their relatives in the countryside as they used to be, and they will not put on that superior posture when they meet.On the contrary, as long as relatives go to the house, the old couple will receive them warmly and politely.

When Chen Xian was notified of this family reunion, he agreed without the slightest hesitation.

However, people's hearts are separated by belly, who is not selfish and tempered?

When Chen Xian's mentality changed, many relatives in his hometown had already become indifferent to their family. In the past few days during the Chinese New Year, those younger generations went to their house to pay New Year's greetings out of custom and etiquette, but despite the No matter how enthusiastically Chen Xian and Jiang Ruying tried to persuade them to stay, they would not stay for dinner, most of them showed far-fetched and hypocritical smiles, and left after saying a few perfunctory polite words...

Chen Xian was deeply moved by this.

What he sees through is not only his past mistakes in human behavior, but also the warmth and coldness of human relationships.

In the final analysis, it was the reason why he was no longer in power - for example, most of the juniors sitting together looked at him without the slightest respect for their elders.

But what about before?

No matter how indifferent Chen Xian was to these relatives in his hometown, most of them would still be respectful to him, and even ran to the house to show courteousness if they had nothing to do, hoping to get some benefits from him.

Sitting on the sofa and listening to these juniors chatting enthusiastically, Chen Xian, who felt a little lonely, sighed secretly in his heart.He has come to the present with great winds and waves, naturally has a deep insight into the human heart, and also has a city and self-cultivation far beyond ordinary people.So of course he won't get angry with these relatives in his hometown just because of such a small matter.What's more, was it my own fault first?

Today, at the gathering of this big family, it is the family of Chen Xiulan, the niece, who is attracting everyone's attention.

Upstairs in the living room, the behavior among the gentlemen is not too obvious, but it can be seen that as long as Su Cheng says something, everyone will agree with him.
