Chapter 0323 – Family Matters
Looking at his mother holding up his grandfather who was stumbling. Zhuang Rui did not know why, his nose was a little sour, as a son, he could understand his mother’s mood, but Zhuang Rui, who had never had the experience of being a father, now seemed to be able to feel Grandpa’s kind of joyful mood, which was the unselfish love for his sons and daughters.
Suddenly, a white shadow scurried out from the yard, waking up the father-daughter duo who were immersed in this sunset sunset glow.
“Brat, not coming home for a few days, are you hiding from Grandpa?”
The old man saw Zhuang Rui along with the white lion’s figure, straightened the cane in his hand, pointed at him and scolded with a laugh.
“Grandpa, how can it be, I’m back here, mom, let me help grandpa.”
“You child, and grandpa no big or small, go to one side, mom support on the line.”
Zhuang Rui stroked the white lion’s big head. Towards the mother’s side, Ouyang Wan but did not let go of the hand holding the father, and Zhuang Rui left and right to help the old father in the side of a stone bench and sat down, the white lion obediently lying at Zhuang Rui’s feet.
“This child is really like you! Not only does he look like you, his character is also like you, he is stubborn and bold, if the old man I didn’t agree to let you come back that day, he would have dared not to call me grandpa.”
After the old man sat down, hands on crutches, carefully in the daughter and grandson face back and forth, Ouyang Gang this period of time not only the body is better, the mood is also very pleasant, to his age, for many things in the world are very light, but the only thing that can not be cut off, is in front of the eyes of this disobedient daughter.
Zhuang Rui is not afraid of this old man, said with a cheeky smile: “Grandpa, I am not only like my mom, but also like you, your temper is not the same as my mom? I’ve heard from my brother-in-law that back then, you led a division in Liaodong and dared to think of wrapping up an army of the Kuomintang in a dumpling, that’s called boldness!”
Ouyang Gang was one of the brave generals of the Four Wildernesses back then, and he fought with no fear of death, as long as he fought with the enemy. That does not take advantage of some advantage, is absolutely not retreat, even if it is the four field Lin general orders are useless, but his temper is too straight, after liberation but did not follow their old boss, in that ten years inside suffered a lot of crime, but this is also his pride and doubly respected by others, that is, the courage to adhere to their own beliefs.
“Hehe, how do you brats know about me back then! Hey, Grandpa was a man of his word back then, when we fought Jinzhou, General Lin’s telegrams were all for me to take to light firewood for warmth.”
Zhuang Rui’s words just scratch the itch in Ouyang Gang, this sick for more than two years, the ear is not good, but there is a period of time did not give people memories of the past, this will seize the grandson, gushing up.
Zhuang Rui at the beginning of some impatience, but listening to listen to, listen in, listen to grandpa about the past. That can be a real historical reproduction, and the movie and television acted, completely different, with the old man is that tone of voice, a smoke and fire of the war era, the real show in front of Zhuang Rui.
Ouyang Wan also sat quietly beside, smiling and listening to his father recounting the story he had heard countless times since he was a child, in fact, the old man’s request is really not a lot, as long as there are sons and daughters who are willing to spend a little time to listen to them talk, that’s enough.
“Old man, let’s eat, you’re bragging about the old days of the past again, you’re not afraid of my grandchildren laughing at you.”
In the nightfall, the early lights, Zhuang Rui’s grandmother also came out from the courtyard, help in his side, but Ouyang Jun, Zhuang Rui can not help but some sweat, this Ouyang Jun afraid of the old man than the mouse afraid of cats, are still hard to the old man in front of filial piety, but their own all day hither and thither, is really some should not be.
After seeing Ouyang Jun, the old master forcefully stumbled his cane on the ground and shouted, “Right, Xiao Jun, you come over.”
“Grandpa, what is it? I’m not causing any trouble.”
When Ouyang Jun heard the old man call out to him, he was jolted, and his feet reflexively stood at attention. It seems that this childhood shadow is really hard to get rid of, causing Zhuang Rui’s mother and son on the side to laugh.
Ouyang Wan pulled her old father’s arm and shook it, saying, “Dad, Xiaojun is a good kid, don’t scare him, your old glaring look can be scary!”
“What’s there to be afraid of if your heart isn’t weak! Xiaojun, your brother doesn’t have a job yet, you’re out there all day eating and drinking, don’t you think about taking care of your brother?”
The old man wants Ouyang Jun to find something for Zhuang Rui to do, to put it bluntly, he wants him to find some money-making work for Zhuang Rui, although the old man is straight, but he is not pedantic, the revolutionary work always needs to be done, it is hard to believe that what other people can do, his grandson can’t do it?
Although this matter for Ouyang Gang, is no longer simple, a phone call on someone rushed to arrange, but that movement is too big a point, he knows his own little grandson tossed a not small industry, which is intentionally cut a piece of meat on the body of the Ouyang army!
“Grandpa. You’re asking me to take care of little brother? It’s more or less the same for him to take care of me, he’s now tossing antiques, that value is not generally fat ah! Even I look at the eye red, you can not be biased ah, do not believe you ask him.”
Ouyang Jun heard this, that heart called a tangled ah! A time also do not care about the fear, voice is also high up, this is the grandson, the old man how you want to take money out of my pocket. The first thing you need to do is to get the money out of my pocket and then stuff it into the other grandson’s pocket! That is to say that the grandson in front of the word “outside” to be added.
“Oh, there’s still this? Xiao Rui, are you a speculator? That’s no good, we can’t do such a thing.”
The old man retired for almost twenty years, for Ouyang Jun’s mouth of the two words “dumping”, understood as speculation, immediately boarded up his face, his grandson which can do this ah! It’s not that this is against the law, the key is that the eyes are too thin, how much money can be made by doing this?
“Dad, Xiao Rui is not speculating, he is collecting antiques, that is, those paintings and vases and so on, in the past, we also have a family, and then sold out, this is legal, the profit is also very high, only recently invested in a jade mine in Xinjiang.”
Ouyang Wan heard her old father’s words, smiled and helped her son to explain, her tone was full of pride, her son could all earn money by his own skills, without dipping into his own mother’s family a little light.
Ouyang Gang heard his daughter’s words, excitedly slapped his thighs and said: “Hey, you girl, why not say earlier, those paintings are antiques? When I led the troops to fight the landlords to divide the land, but copied the family to get a lot of those things, but those paintings ah what to wipe their asses are idle cackle panicked, all let me a fire to burn.”
“Haha, haha ……”
The old man’s words did not fall, attracted a circle of people around, including the guards just came out all laughed, this which with which ah! You will fight the landlords to divide the land. Ouyang Wan was not yet born, how to remind you ah! This is no wonder, the old man is ninety years old, the brain is inevitably a little confused.
But at this time, the old man is more like his own relatives, rather than that mighty big man outside, to know, the old master is known for his strictness, in the eighties and nineties that will be, many military generals, in front of him even dare not breathe.
“You dead old man, all day long you are proud of being uncultured, don’t brag, all go eat!”
Zhuang Rui grandmother smiled and scolded the old man, the family all returned to the courtyard, this meal was set up in the courtyard under the big tree to eat, the little nui nui had just finished watching an action movie in the house, when she saw her uncle come back, she was also very excited, a little mouth chattering non-stop, and also added a lot of laughter to this meal.
“Xiao Rui, come out for a moment, there is something to tell you.”
After having dinner, it was already more than eight o’clock, the old man and the old lady were ready to go to rest, Zhuang Rui was also tired these two days, he was about to go to his room to rinse off and go to bed, but he was pulled by Ouyang Jun.
“Fourth brother, what is it?” Zhuang Rui saw Ouyang Jun ducking and dodging, but also had to go outside the courtyard to say, can not help but some curiosity.
“In fact …… there is nothing, that is, it is the matter of Xu Qing and I, you know it, right?” Ouyang Jun uttered a chirpy grinding half a day, said out words more let Zhuang Rui puzzled.
“Hey, I say Fourth Brother, what’s the matter between you and the big star, what’s it got to do with me?” Zhuang Rui asked in puzzlement.
“Hey, I’ll be straight with you! I want to get married with Xu Qing, dad’s side does not agree, this is not to beg you to say to the little aunt, now the family in addition to the little aunt, can be you are the most favored.”
Dare Ouyang Jun is really a love child, some years ago, although some of the flow of ridiculous, but these years is to set down the nature of the Xu star is not to blame.
Originally, Ouyang Jun came here today, was trying to ask for help from his sister-in-law, but after seeing Zhuang Rui, he changed his mind, but he was afraid that his sister-in-law and his father had a thought, it would be counterproductive.
“Hey, fourth brother, I’m not the most favored in this family! There’s also Nui Nui!” Zhuang Rui joked with Ouyang Jun.
“Cut the crap, just tell your kid to help or not! I’m still thinking about introducing Xiao Dong to you tomorrow!”
Ouyang Jun is really anxious, this thing to beg cousin, originally some face, and was made fun of by Zhuang Rui, when some annoyed.
“Who is Xiao Dong?” Zhuang Rui asked.
“Is the last and you said that play antiques, tomorrow if you are free, go to the club to meet him! He has a lot of doorways.”
“I’m not free tomorrow, I have an appointment with someone to go to the courtyard side, wait and talk! Fourth brother, one day when you see that my brother-in-law is in a good mood, give me a call, I’ll go and talk to my brother-in-law to see if that thing of yours will work out.”
Ouyang Jun this shit, Zhuang Rui is also some tears and laughter, their daughter-in-law is not yet settled, actually go to help people to say.
