Novel "Wangzi Jackie Chan" 73-Komatsu narrates: People from overseas are coming

In the blink of an eye, it was the Spring Festival of the following year, and I finally successfully entered my sophomore year.

One Saturday night, the phone rang suddenly. I picked up the phone, and a thick Tianjin accent came from the receiver:

"Hey, is it my cousin?"

I was stunned, who is this? When I came up, I called my cousin, I remember that I didn't have a cousin.

"Who are you? Typing it wrong, right? ”

"Is this Fu Yuguang's family? I'm Jinpeng from Tianjin. ”

At this time, my father came over and asked who was calling, and I told him that it was a person who claimed to be Jinpeng.

My father was stunned for a moment, looking a little nervous, he turned around and whispered to my mother, "It's a call from Tianjin." ”

The old mother, who was sitting on the sofa knitting a sweater, stopped what she was doing and looked at her father without saying a word. I don't know why they were so nervous when they heard the call from Tianjin.

Dad settled down and took the phone from me:

"Hey, I'm Fu Yuguang."

"Brother, I'm Jinpeng." The other party's voice was so loud that I could hear it clearly as I stood next to it.

"Oh, it's Xiaopeng! Oh, I haven't seen each other for so many years, and the third aunt is all fine now, right? ”

"It's all good, it's all good. Cousin, I called you because I had something to tell you. ”

"What's the matter? You say, you say. ”

I could see that my father was a little nervous. I remembered that my father once said that the composition of his relatives in his hometown was more complicated, and during the ten years of turmoil, our family was unlucky for these relatives. So all these years, my dad's relatives never moved around each other.

"That's what happened," Jin Peng on the phone continued, "Second Uncle has returned from United States, and his old man wants to see you." ”

"Second uncle? Which second uncle? ”

"Which second uncle do we have? It's my mother's second brother Zhang Shoufeng, oh, it's also your mother's second brother, the one who does business in the United States. ”

"Oh, remember, remember, he's- back home?"

"Yes, the old man is almost eighty years old this year, so it's easy to come back, and I want to meet these relatives in the mainland, my mother means let me tell you, the past is over, and now I don't pay attention to class, background or anything, I can see it or see it, I see it once."

Hearing him say this, my father had to deal with it indiscriminately: "Well, okay." ”

Jin Peng said again: "The second uncle especially wants to see the third generation of our family, let my sister-in-law and eldest nephew come together when I come." Now it is very convenient to drive from Beijing to Tianjin, and it takes more than an hour to arrive. ”

"yes, okay." Dad still hesitantly agreed.

Jin Peng left his address and mobile phone number, and instructed us to rush to his house before noon tomorrow, because he also made an appointment with the fifth aunt in Tangshan and the seventh aunt in Taiyuan.

Dad put down the phone, looking a little uneasy, sitting on the sofa and raising his cup to drink tea, not realizing that he was holding an empty cup.

My mother leaned over and asked with concern, "What's the matter?" ”

My dad briefly told my mom what I had just called.

Mom's heart is obviously much wider than that of Dad, she smiled and said: "Hey, what should I do, isn't it just that your second uncle came back from overseas and wants to see us, just see us, now is not the time to engage in political campaigns, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

Dad was still worried: "Don't forget, the second uncle was a Kuomintang officer back then, and later a big capitalist, and ran to United States before liberation." This kind of overseas relationship can't be hidden, why do we have to make it up? ”

My mother said: "It was back then, now it is now, and now the policy is relaxed, let's go over and see why the elders can't do it?" ”

Hearing this, I also hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll go too!" I'll go too! ”

My father asked me with a straight face, "Do you know what we're going to Tianjin for?" ”

I said, "Of course I know, go see our big capitalist!" I've only seen capitalists in movies in the past, holding a civilization stick and holding a big cigar, hehe, this time I can see the real thing, how fun! ”

Dad sighed and said, "Alas, you know it's fun, I don't know how bad our family fell for this second uncle who was a capitalist back then." Your grandfather has been rectified many times in the unit for this matter, and the business is so good that he can't be reused for the rest of his life. Your uncle was admitted to the People's Liberation Army Aviation Academy that year, and he successfully passed several rounds of physical examinations, but because of this overseas relationship, the last pass was brushed off. He was so sad that he hid in the house for two days without eating, and I still remember that his weeping and swollen eyes were like rotten peaches, alas, it was all caused by this unlucky second uncle! ”

I said, "Dad, do you think China will continue to engage in the 'ingredient theory'?" Times are different, absolutely not. ”

Listening to my mother's and my mother's optimistic analysis, my father probably felt that he was a little nervous, so he nodded and said: "Okay, then the whole family will go together, alas, Jin Peng is right, the old man is old, maybe this is the last time I will meet his old man." ”

At this time, I remembered a very important thing: "By the way, Dad, when we met, what should I call your second uncle?" ”

This stopped my father, his relatives rarely move around each other, and he really can't tell what I should call his second uncle.

Seeing his embarrassed look, I patted my chest and said, "It's okay, I'll check it on the Internet to find out." ”

My mother smiled and said, "You have been on the Internet for several years, and today you finally used the Internet to do a serious thing." ”

I didn't care about my mother's cynicism, I quickly checked the Internet, and a minute later I proudly reported to my parents: "I found out, I should call him second uncle." Oh, by the way, my second uncle was a capitalist back then, and now he is back from United States, he must be very rich, right? ”

My father said to me with a straight face: "What money is not rich, you are not allowed to mention money when you meet, don't embarrass me!" ”

The next day, my dad drove our whole family to Tianjin.

According to the prior agreement, Uncle Jinpeng picked us up at the toll booth of Tianjin Expressway. As our car slowly drove past the toll booth, I saw a white Passat parked on the side of the road on the right side of the toll booth, and a middle-aged man smoking in front of the car. My dad dialed Uncle Jinpeng's mobile phone, I saw the middle-aged man quickly throw away the cigarette, took out the mobile phone from his waist to answer, and my dad smiled and said to the phone: "Xiaopeng, I see you!" ”

Dad and Jin Peng held hands tightly, both grinning, but they didn't know what to say. My mother and I got out of the car, and Uncle Jinpeng's son Xiao Yong also got out of the car and ran towards us.

Uncle Jin Peng asked Xiao Yong to drive the Passat alone to lead the way, and he himself got into our car, one to show us the way, and the other to take the opportunity to chat about family life.

Uncle Jin Peng said that he had been politically pressured because of the problem of "overseas relations" back then, and after graduating from junior high school, he joined the queue and couldn't find a decent job after returning to the city, so he had to work as an individual. Reform and opening up have allowed those who are bold to become rich first. Now Uncle Jin Peng is the owner of a private enterprise in Tianjin, and at the same time he also runs a racecourse and two green vegetable bases. He bought a small villa on the outskirts of Tianjin, where today's reunion is held.

I couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Jin Peng, what does my second uncle look like?" ”

"What? It's just an ordinary old man. ”

"He's a millionaire now, right?"

Uncle Jin Peng smiled and said, "Millionaire? I didn't ask, and I didn't dare to ask, but I heard that the old man's family fortune was more than 10 million dollars. ”

"Ten million dollars?" My mouth opened wide in shock, and I wanted to ask something more, but when I saw my father glaring at me with an unhappy face, I quickly stopped.

Uncle Jinpeng's residence is near the Beijing-Tianjin Expressway, and it will be there in a while. This is a three-storey European-style building, at least 400 square meters at a rough glance. From this small building alone, it can be seen that Uncle Jinpeng's current economic strength is indeed incredible.

Walking into the living room, we met the legendary second uncle. He was sitting on the couch in the living room talking to an old lady. When they saw us come in, they all looked up and smiled at us. My mother whispered to me that she called the old lady "Grandma".

Dad bowed respectfully to the two old men and greeted, "Hello to the two of you, our whole family has come to visit you!" "Saying that, introduce my mother and me to the second elder.

The second uncle nodded to us excitedly, with tears in his eyes. He walked over and stared at me carefully, and said affectionately: "Xiao Song looks like the eldest sister, when I was young, it was the eldest sister who took me all day long." ”

As he spoke, he took out a photo from a wallet next to him and handed it to my father, saying, "This is the only photo I have with your mother, and this photo has been with me for more than 60 years." ”

We went up and saw that it was a small black and white photograph that had been left out for so long that it had turned yellow. A teenage girl in the photo, that is the eldest sister of the second uncle, that is, my grandmother, she has short hair, wears a cheongsam-like gown, and pushes a stroller, and a two or three-year-old boy sits in the car, holding a lollipop and smirking, needless to say, that is the second uncle of the year.

I saw that my father's eyes were a little moist, yes, grandma has been away from us for five years, if she is still alive, it would be nice to see her second brother at this moment.

At this time, my aunt and grandmother said in tears: "When the eldest sister died, we didn't know, but we only found out later from the daughter of the fifth sister's family." Alas, they are all sisters, one in Beijing and the other in Tianjin, how close, but I don't dare to interact more, our family is not from a good background, and you, the younger brother of a capitalist, make the family not like a family! ”

The second uncle looked very excited, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and he took out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes. I looked at the second uncle who came back from the other side of the ocean. He is a burly old man, although he has passed his prime, he still has the temperament of a big boss. He was wearing a dark red Tang suit, and all the buttons were neatly fastened, which showed that he was an old man who lived a rigorous life and paid great attention to his image.

At this time, from the upper floor came a girl, about twenty years old, very delicate. She smiled at us, handed a small box in her hand to her second uncle, and said, "Grandpa, it's time to take medicine." ”
