Chapter 95 Third Uncle and Grandpa
There were a lot of visitors to Sanliang Store today.
In the morning, the manager of the cinema came and gave away thirty movie tickets. In the afternoon, the managers of the barber shop and bathhouse also came. One gave twenty free receipts, and the other gave Fifty bathing tickets
They all had the same purpose, they came for the bags of peanuts and melon seeds lying in the warehouse, and they all wanted to get more and ration them.
But the company director is really worried. There are only so many things provided by the above, and each unit wants to order more. There is really too much food for the monks. How do you tell him to divide it?
If this person is given too much, that person is unwilling, and that person is given too much, but this person is unwilling. If the distribution is not good, there will be complaints.
Humanity is so sophisticated, so difficult!
However, the employees in the store were very happy. The things sent by various units were divided by Chu Heng at that time, and they all got a lot of benefits.
It was almost time to get off work, and the aunts were cleaning up the house while discussing how to get their hair done together in the evening.
I wonder if the barber can bear it...
Guo Xia also happily clicked on the various tickets he had been given, thinking about going to see the person he just met later and go watch a movie together.
This hard-working and honest boy finally got the recognition of his aunts a few days ago, and they introduced him to a partner. The girl was average-looking, but she had a good workplace and worked in the street office. The two of them had a fight recently. fiery.
Unfortunately, Mr. Chu cannot experience the happiness brought by these benefits at this moment. He is not short of money, and it doesn’t matter whether it is free or not.
This is the trouble of rich people.
But he is in a good mood now, because Miss Ni has just promised him to go to his house for dinner after get off work in the evening, and he can finally enjoy the after-dinner fruit.
The two bites I tasted secretly in the workplace every day were really not satisfying.
"It's settled." Chu Heng, who was a little distracted, smiled coquettishly at Miss Ni. After receiving the girl's shy eye roll, he ran back to the office happily. Waiting for get off work time to arrive.
“Hey!”
Old man Lian across from him sighed quietly at this time, closed the account book in his hand, pulled out his hair in fistfuls, and complained to him with a sad face: " You said this group of people always come to me like this every Chinese New Year? , Where can I get them so many peanuts and melon seeds?"
Chu Heng felt a little sorry for the old man, and rolled his eyes before giving him an idea: "How about drawing lots, there are too many. If it doesn’t depend on luck, no one can blame anyone.”
"Drawing lots?" The old man's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and then he frowned: "Isn't this a bit of a joke? A group of leaders from various units are drawing lots for some food. It would make people laugh if you tell me."
< br>"Then there's nothing I can do." Chu Heng shrugged.
"Hey, let's see again." The old man sighed again.
At this moment, Guo Xia suddenly ran in and said to Chu Heng with a complicated face: "Brother, there is someone outside, saying he is your relative."
Chu Heng immediately said I'm confused. His old Chu family is almost extinct. The current population is rich with five fingers. How can I have any relatives?
But I was confused. Since I came to recognize my relatives, I had to meet them in person.
He stood up full of doubts and went to the front shop with Guo Xia.
The person who came was an old man in his sixties, with a dark face covered with wrinkles. He was wearing a patched shabby coat, and some risks could be seen from a few scattered holes. What caught the eye among the withered yellow grass was his feet. In the cold winter weather, he was actually wearing a pair of straw sandals. His bare feet and insteps were already bruised by the cold, which made people feel distressed just looking at them.
At this time, the old man was sitting cautiously on a bench, holding a glass of boiled water that Miss Ni had just poured for him, and kept looking around at a pair of dim old eyes with a heavy look. of confusion and hesitation.
The strange environment and strange people made the old man who had never traveled far feel uneasy. Chu Heng was not in a hurry to show up to recognize his relatives. Instead, he stood at the small door of the front and back rooms and looked at the old man for a while, but he thought for a while and couldn't find any information about the old man in his memory.
In the end, he had no choice but to step forward and ask the old man: "Uncle, I am Chu Heng, are you a relative of mine?"
Seeing him appear, the old man found him With a strong backbone, he stood up excitedly and nodded repeatedly. : "Yes, yes, my name is Yang Youfu, and I am your third uncle and grandpa!"
"Third uncle and grandpa?" Chu Heng was stunned. In his memory, there was no such relative as uncle at all. , and it's still the third one, so isn't there a boss and a second one on top?
It’s possible that I forgot one of them, can’t I be completely unimpressed?
Could it be that the old man recognized the wrong person?
Seeing his confused face, the old man quickly added: "Your father's name is Chu Chengcai, your mother's name is Pan Erni, and your grandma's name is Yang Chunhua, right?"
Chu Heng scratched his head when he heard this. , everything the old man said was correct, but he was even more confused: "Yes, that's true, but I don't remember that I still have my uncle at home."
Did the original owner have any memory loss?
He thought a little unconfidently.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, the old man immediately became anxious and grabbed his arm: "I am really your third uncle and grandpa. You have never been back with your grandma, so naturally you don't know me. But your second uncle Chu Jianshe is coming with me." I've seen him before and it will become clear if you call him."
"Wait a minute, I'll call my second uncle." Chu Heng immediately relaxed when he heard that he knew his second uncle. tone, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to deal with this relative who appeared out of thin air.
He quickly ran back to the office, picked up the phone and called the Grain Management Office.
Making calls at this time is very troublesome. You can’t dial the number, but you have to transfer it through the operator console. The call first goes to the post and telecommunications office, and then the operator connects the other party.
Chu Heng stood in front of the phone and waited for a long time before finally receiving the call from the Grain Management Office.
After talking to Chu Jianshe, he briefly explained the matter, and then received a positive reply. The Chu family did have a distant relative named Yang Youfu, but he was out of reach.
This third uncle who suddenly appeared is the third brother of a distant uncle of his grandma in Langfang. He is the kind who sells the fifth server. He has lost contact with him for many years and does not know the old man. How did you find it?
After making an appointment with Chu Jianshe and taking his third uncle and grandpa to his house, Chu Heng put down the phone and sighed deeply.
A poor relative who has not been in contact for many years comes to visit, what else can happen?
I can tell with my toes that this is definitely not going to be possible, so he borrowed food from relatives in the city. Otherwise, as an old man in his sixties, would he be able to travel so far to recognize his relatives in the middle of winter?
There is more than a hundred miles from Langfang to Sijiucheng. Going out at this time is not like the later generations. Just hold the steering wheel and step on the accelerator. If there is no bus or bicycle, you can only rely on two legs to travel. !
He sighed because of this.
How could an old man in his 60s brave the severe cold and trek here to meet a relative whom he had not seen for many years? If his family had no other choice, how could he take this risk?
If there is some danger along the way, if his relatives in the city don't want to recognize him, it's a matter of two opinions whether the old man can go back alive. If he doesn't, he will freeze to death on the road.
In the past, he had always heard that this family would have a poor relative, and that family would have a poor friend, but he never expected that it would finally be his turn, the old Chu family.
But in Chu Heng's opinion, this matter was nothing. He had this condition, and since he came to the door, he just wanted to help.
Thank you to all the book friends for your tips, especially Miss Jing and Mr. Wei.
