Chapter 5 Roots (Part 2)

Xie Chong was still young and didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. However, after calming down, he thought a lot. He couldn't bear to leave his parents. Besides, there were many people in Guangzhou who collected debts, and their parents were doing it for him.

He was so safe that he hurriedly fled with him. If he went back by himself, he would not know if he would become a hostage to the creditors?

Xie Chong was depressed, he didn't want to wash or eat breakfast. It was too difficult to wash his face and brush his teeth in the north. The temperature of the tap water was close to zero and his fingers were almost frozen. Grandma burned hot water and could mix the cold water together.

, wash his face in the basin. But Xie Chong hadn't used the basin for a long time. He thought it was unhygienic. He poured a little cold water on his face as fast as possible, even if he had washed his face.

Xie Hongxuan felt at ease when his grandson stopped leaving. He called his grandson to go to the clinic together. Xie Chong agreed in a depressed manner and went out with his grandfather.

Song Jinquan heard the old friend's cough and hurriedly rushed out of the house. He was old but his movements were very sensitive, which scared Xie Chong. Xie Hongxuan said dissatisfiedly: "I have been a rash man for the rest of my life!"

Song Jinquan didn't care at all and asked with a smile: "Old Xie, the second brother is back this time just to buy a house for you? Who among us guys doesn't envy you for having a big son! Tell me, please be fine

Which building is there?"

He laughed and whispered, clearly saying slander.

"Hmph! You will lie on the corner of the wall and gossip! You will hate it more than the long-tongued women in the village!"

Xie Hongxuan had a cold face and suddenly stretched out his feet. Song Jinquan hid back and he rushed in. Song Jinquan inserted his hand into his pocket and smiled and said, "Let's go together!"

"Tsk! Stop going to my clinic to make trouble, I will get upset when I see you!"

"You have a stove in your clinic and there are many people. I'll go and warm it up."

"Then please pick up some firewood for me!"

Song Jinquan saluted mischievously: "Abide by the order! However, you have to change the coal ball stove into a stove for burning firewood first!"

They were almost sixty years old, but they were quarrel like children. Before they knew it, Xie Chong was amused.

The two old men were talking about family matters, and Xie Chong listened absent-mindedly and heard a lot of information. It turned out that Grandpa Song had two sons at home. The eldest son was very good at studying and went to the United States to study abroad. It seemed that

I'm going to stay in the United States. My second son's college is also good, but he met a Taiwanese girl during college and wanted to marry someone. The two of them stayed together and flew to Japan.

If it were more than ten years ago, the two brothers would definitely be qualified to be "anti-split". It would be really not easy for Song Jinquan to survive steadily until retirement.

Grandpa Song said, "It's okay." As long as the child is good, he can do whatever he wants. But Xie Chong listened to everything he said in reverse. To him, Grandpa Song meant - alas, two sons

It's in vain, no one wants me anymore.

Song Jinquan skipped the topic of his son and said, "Brother Xie, after the New Year, you will be sixty. Don't work so hard, you can't make enough money."

"Do you think I don't want to enjoy a happy life? Xiaoying will have a lot of tuition to go to college in the future, and a large dowry is required to get married. This does not require money? The third brother has not paid his salary for nearly half a year, and he has food and accommodation at home, so he does not need money?

"Xie Hongxuan glanced at his grandson and said melancholy: "The second brother's family has been involved in such a big deal again. I don't know when it will be solved. I just want the second brother to not go to jail... So, look, how could I not

Work hard?"

"Oh, boy, you have to thank your grandpa. Your grandpa is so old and still has to support such a big family."

Xie Chong had no reaction and just lowered his head to kick the stones.

Song Jinquan hit a nail and said embarrassedly: "This child is exactly the same as the second child back then, with a personality!"

Xie Chong's face is angular, with bright eyebrows and bright eyes, and full of heroic spirit. Judging from his appearance, he is simply a copy of his uncle. Since returning to the small city, he has heard many people say that he looks like his uncle. But this person

Grandpa Song, he is his best friend, but he never mentions his uncle in front of his grandfather, let alone Xie Chong looks like his uncle.

As they were about to arrive at the clinic, they met a few acquaintances on the way. They came to the city very small and the rumors flew very quickly. Several old men asked maliciously: "Old Xie, is your son going to buy a house for you? Then

A wealthy man is not allowed to buy the best building in the city?"

Xie Chong was sad for his father and embarrassed for his grandfather. At the same time, he was quite angry. Grandpa Song retorted: "It is someone else's business to buy it. Otherwise, you can buy it first, and we will wait until you finish it.

For a reference?"

Several old men said "hehe" twice, and temporarily silenced. But they looked at Xie Chong and asked again: "Is this the second son? Why do they look exactly like the eldest?"

As soon as he heard the boss, Xie Hongxuan's expression changed. Xie Chong was sweating for his grandfather, and Grandpa Song stood up again: "This child is from the Xie family. He looks like the Xie family. Is that abnormal? You guys

One by one, what's there to make a fuss about?"

Xie Chong's impression of Grandpa Song instantly improved a lot.

Xie Hongxuan said nothing, with a gloomy face and continued to move forward. Along the way, Xie Chong heard and witnessed many things. His father's bankruptcy caused great financial pressure to his grandfather, which also made him unable to raise his head in this small town.

He should say something and comfort his grandfather, but he couldn't say anything.

Song Jinquan was still talking and lip-swords with the group of old guys, while Xie Chong followed his grandfather blankly. Grandpa was ridiculed and remembered his uncle again, and he was quite in a daze. Xie Chong hated those group of old guys, he wanted to kill him.

He took grandpa's arm, but he didn't do such intimate actions.

"Xie Chong, I'm very happy that your family is back."

Um?

"Your uncle left early, your aunt will get married sooner or later. In a few years, your sister will go to college... If your family doesn't come back, your grandma and I will be so lonely!"

"Yeah..." Xie Chong finally agreed.

"So, even if my pressure gets bigger, the whole family is busy and I'm very happy."

Xie Chong worked hard several times, opened his mouth and closed it. He could not say the word "happy" against his will. When he returned to his hometown, he was not happy at all.

Xie Hongxuan asked, "Xie Chong, do you look down on this small city?"

"It's not that I look down on you, it's just that I'm not used to it."

"I have been to many places, but my favorite thing is to come to the city. Although it is not big, it has rich resources and convenient life. Most importantly, the people here are very kind, generous and realistic."

For the young man Xie Chong, "human touch" is not enough to be a measure of the quality of the city. He nodded perfunctorily: "Well, I hope this is a good place."

"This is a famous fruit town. In spring, peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, pear blossoms, and apple blossoms bloom one after another, and the whole city is a big park. The sea breeze is very cool in summer. Sitting at the entrance of the alley, chewing a watermelon, and it's good.

My friend drinks two cups of wine, that's life! It's autumn, the air is clear and cool, and the sky is so beautiful! More importantly, from August 15th, all the seafood is fat, I can guarantee you have never eaten it

Such fresh seafood! It’s so hard to bear in winter. This is a famous snow nest. When it snows heavily, it falls so deep into my knees…”

Xie Chong thought to himself that when his grandfather was in school, he must have been a master of writing compositions. The old man said slowly, and a beautiful picture was drawn in front of Xie Chong. He squinted his eyes and stared at the sky: "Is this really that good here?



"Whether it is good or not, your roots are here."

A gust of wind whistled by, Xie Chong's red scarf floated up, and the long tassels stroked his cheeks. It was a scarf knitted by grandma, soft and warm. Xie Chong looked up at the sky again, and he didn't understand what "root" means,
