"What are you doing, Housheng! We are not related to you, so why did you send us something?"
I smiled and said: "Master, just accept it! This is a little thought for me as a junior."
The old man's face turned pale, and he sighed: "Hey, I know what you mean. There's no need to waste your time. Our Bao family really doesn't have any ancestral treasures. Even if we do, they must have been sold a few lifetimes ago. You can take the oil.
We don’t accept it.”
I was about to speak when I suddenly saw the old man's face light up and he walked out on crutches.
A car came.
A woman of about thirty years old got out of the car. This woman had fair skin, curly hair, and a slightly plump figure. She was carrying a lot of things in her hands. Behind her was a very cute little girl who looked very young depending on her age.
Seven or eight years old.
"Grandpa A! Grandpa A! I'm here to see you!"
"Ouch! Let me look at my little schoolbag! I have grown taller again!"
The old man picked up the little girl with a doting look on his face.
"Come down quickly! You girl! Your Grandpa A is getting older and can no longer hold you."
"Mom, I won't!"
The little girl hugged the old man's neck and refused to let go. The middle-aged woman said with a smile on her face that grandma was in good health.
The old man said it was very good, no illness or disaster.
The middle-aged woman nodded, turned to look at me and asked, "Are you..."
"Oh, hello, eldest sister, I am a junior with breast milk, and I came here specially to deliver oil today."
"Master A, this is our relative? Why don't I recognize him?"
The old man coughed and said he was a distant relative.
After the mother and daughter entered, the old man held his crutch horizontally and blocked me from the door: "Young man, please leave quickly! You are not welcome!"
I would definitely not dare to force my way in if no one is allowed in, but I am not the kind of person who gives up on my own words.
On the contrary, the more you hide something, the more I want to get it.
After a few people entered, the door slammed shut!
The mother and daughter drove up and waited at the door for a while. Seeing no one around, I opened the chassis cover, unscrewed the engine oil cap, and poured in half a barrel of soybean oil.
Then I drove away and found a secluded place to wait.
This wait lasted all day!
At about nine o'clock in the evening, I saw the car driving over.
I smoked two cigarettes in the car and followed him in the car.
Not long after walking, I saw the small car parked in the middle of the dirt road from a distance, with white smoke constantly coming out of the front. The middle-aged woman got out of the car, took a look, and made a phone call with a worried look on her face.
"Sister, why did the car break down?"
"Hey, it's you! I don't know what happened! The car broke down."
"Oh, that's it... let me help you take a look?"
"Oh! Thank you so much."
I opened the case cover, moved it here and there, shook my head and said, "It's not easy to fix, maybe the cylinder gasket is pulled."
The middle-aged woman was a little anxious. She hurriedly said: "Then what should we do? The children will have to go to school tomorrow morning!"
"Sister, where do you live? How about I send you there?"
There was a hint of vigilance in her eyes and she said, "No, we can just wait here for the rescue vehicle."
I smiled and said: "Sister, look at the wilderness around here, what if there is any danger? We are all relatives, I can still hurt you."
"No, no, I never meant that!" she defended repeatedly.
I opened the car door and said with a smile: "Sister, come up quickly! It's so cold, don't let the child catch a cold. Just leave this car here. If you can't throw it away, wait for the repair shop to tow it away later."
After hearing what I said, she hesitated for a few seconds, and then pulled her child into the car.
As we were driving on the road, I looked ahead and asked, "Sister, where is your husband? It's rare to come back to see our grandma, why doesn't he come?"
At this moment, the little girl said loudly: "Uncle, I know! Dad has no time! He lives in the sea and takes care of dolphins!"
The child's words were innocent, but I heard the connotation of the words.
"Sister, could it be that brother-in-law...?"
She twitched her nose, forced out a smile and said, "There was an accident, and he's gone."
"I'm sorry! I didn't know! My condolences, eldest sister."
"It's okay, it's been several years, and I've gradually gotten used to it."
"Oh, you haven't said where you live yet, sister?"
"I live in Ya'an, not Kangding. You can just send us to a place in the city where there are buses."
"What time is it already? There are no buses on the road. Otherwise, my friend has opened a hotel in the south of the city. You go to his place to stay for one night. When the car is repaired tomorrow, you can drive back with your children."
She thought about it for a few minutes, smiled, and said, I'll bother you.
