Eye of Sin

Chapter 264
"Child, come, sit down!" Uncle Pan was particularly enthusiastic towards Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan. While greeting them to sit down, he turned around and went into the kitchen. He came out soon with a plate of fruit in his hand, "It's a pretty day today." It’s hot, it’s hard for you to come here, isn’t it? Come and eat some fruit!”

Ning Shuyi couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw Uncle Pan greeting them so enthusiastically. He didn't look like the stubborn old man that Sister Zhou had just said.

Uncle Pan misread Ning Shuyi's expression and thought that she was acting like this because she saw the fruit in her hand. He hurriedly said: "I went out to buy this fruit yesterday by myself in the supermarket outside." .

After buying it, I found a place outside and washed it all. Then I brought it back in a plastic bag and it was all clean!Eat it! "

"Uncle Pan, you don't need to greet us. Just keep the fruits and eat them. We're not thirsty!" Ning Shuyi said to him quickly and pushed back the fruits he handed over.

"I'm old and can't eat a few mouthfuls. It's not easy for you two kids to run out in the hot weather and come to my place with one foot deep and the other shallow. Eat!

Just take it, sir!If you're polite, I'll get angry! "Uncle Pan's eyes widened with a tigerish face, as if he were trying to scare a child.

Ning Shuyi couldn't help but laugh. People were so enthusiastic, and her further speculation would make people sad, so she happily thanked her and took it.

"Uncle Pan, let me explain to you first. We are criminal policemen from the Public Security Bureau. We are here to visit to understand the situation. We have no control over the contract disputes between you and other neighbors and the developer." Considering Sister Zhou's misunderstanding just now , and looking at Uncle Pan's enthusiasm at the moment, fearing that he would be disappointed later, Ning Shuyi decided to speak up first.

I thought that Uncle Pan’s reaction would be similar to Sister Zhou’s, but unexpectedly he waved his hand: “I understand! Although I am not a policeman, when I was in the factory, I was the section chief of the security department!

This matter is not your business, I understand!Don't worry!

And unlike those other families, I don’t want to move at all!No matter how much money you give me, I don’t want to move, so I don’t care who comes to me for ideological work!I'm a bad old man in my early seventies, and I've had enough of a living!

Even if they demolish it and bury my old bones inside, I won't care. "

After saying these words, Ning Shuyi believed Sister Zhou's previous words. Uncle Pan was indeed a bit stubborn.

"Uncle, do you live here by yourself? Are there no other family members living with you?" Ning Shuyi asked.

"No, I don't have any family members." Uncle Pan shook his head, "I'm the only one here!
When my wife was young, she was in poor health and could not have children, so we never had children in our lives. We just lived like this and our relationship was very good. Ten years ago, my wife, a cruel little old lady, One person left first and left me here.

I have no worries every day, and all my thoughts are in this house.

She turned out to be an employee of our factory. From the time we got married, the two of us had lived in this house. It was originally allocated by the factory. When we could buy it ourselves, we immediately saved up and bought it!
Now that she is gone, if I don’t even have this house, everything in this world will be strange to me, what’s the point!Then I have no hope of living, so I might as well keep this house and just demolish it for me when they demolish it! "

Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan were both a little surprised. They didn't expect that Uncle Pan would be so stubborn and wanted to keep this house, not for more compensation, but to keep the lifelong memories of him and his wife.

"Look! This is my wife!" Uncle Pan pointed to the photos under the glass plate of the coffee table as if he was offering a treasure, "Look, these are our wedding photos back then!"
The two of us were almost the first people in W City to take wedding photos back then!It was the latest and most fashionable at that time!Look at my wife, isn’t she beautiful? "

Ning Shuyi followed Uncle Pan's direction and looked over. Sure enough, there were photos of the two of them pressed under the glass. They looked like a couple with a deep relationship.

"With no water or electricity here, how do you usually live?" Huo Yan frowned and asked.

Although Uncle Pan's living conditions were not the central purpose of their visit this time, seeing this well-organized home and hearing Uncle Pan's explanation of the reason why he became a nail householder, Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan were immediately moved. I had the nerve to go straight to the topic, but I felt a little bit uncomfortable.

"Hey! I'm so old, it doesn't matter! I don't play on the computer! I don't have to watch TV!

What a bad old man, how many bites can he eat? "Uncle Pan is quite optimistic in this regard, "My old neighbors used to walk around a lot with me. Although they moved away, they heard that I was still here, so they would ask their children to come over every now and then to bring me a few buckets of water. , help me change the gas tank or something.

When I take a shower, I go to the public bath outside. I drink water from the house. I can buy groceries and cook without any problem. I am in good health!
My parents both died young, and I had an older sister who died when she was a teenager. The person I am closest to in this life is my wife, and the only thing that makes me feel at ease is our family.

Although my wife is gone now, the memories of both of us are still there, and they are all stored in this house. When I live here, I feel that my wife is not far away from me. I am in these two worlds. , nor alone.

As long as this house is not demolished, it doesn’t matter whether it has water or electricity!I would also like to live here for another ten or twenty years! "

As he spoke, he couldn't help but rub his fingers on the glass plate on the coffee table, and underneath that glass plate happened to be the wedding photo he and his wife had taken when they were young.

Ning Shuyi almost had a sore nose when he saw Uncle Pan's lost expression.

Huo Yan was silent for a while, then reached out and patted Ning Shuyi on the back, stood up and walked out.

Ning Shuyi nodded to him, adjusted his mood, took out the small tape recorder from his pocket, put it on the table, and said to Uncle Pan, "Uncle Pan, my colleague has to go out first, and I want to ask you I want to know something about your neighbor Yan Dayuan, so I need to record a voice. I hope you understand!"

"Understood! What I said in broad daylight is not nonsense, just record it!" Uncle Pan was open-minded and didn't wonder what Huo Yan was doing out there. "You want to ask about Yan Dayuan? This old guy won't cause any trouble outside, right? ?”

"It seems that you are quite familiar with him?" Ning Shuyi was a little surprised by Uncle Pan's response.

Uncle Pan was happy: "How can I not be familiar with you? I used to be in the security department! That old boy used to make trouble for me when I was young!"
