Chapter 68: They are all about people
The grave was cleaned up, paper money, ingots and coins were piled up, and Liu Kunlun lit it with a lighter, and the family sang a word around the burning paper money: Dad, mother, come and get the money. Grandpa and grandma come and get the money.
Liu Jinshan handed paper money into the fire and whispered the past at home, so that the children could know how grandpa died.
Their grandfather was born in a very poor family and was a descendant of the landlord. That year, "natural disasters" were caused by the "nature disasters". The militia guarded the roads at the entrance of the village and would rather starve to death at home than go out to flee. The grandfather's family was starved to death. They escaped from their hometown alone and wandered around the world. Finally, they settled in Cuizhai and married Cui Laoer's family. Their grandmother was a widow, so no one dared to marry her. She married her grandfather at the age of 30 and gave birth to two children and one daughter. They were all handsome talents. Unfortunately, the Cui family's family was not strong, and her grandfather was a son-in-law who could not support the family business, and eventually she lost her family.
"Your grandfather was killed by Cui Hailong." Liu Jinshan said, "The Cui family buried plaster tablets behind our house and falsely accused your grandfather of deliberately smashing the statue of the chairman. People from the village police came to arrest your grandfather for three days. Your grandmother went to the village to seek justice and found someone from Xinhua Bookstore to testify. Our family did not invite a plaster statue, so she hired a portrait and was still hanging in the house. Your grandfather was released, but the person was ruined and he died after lying at home for a few days. He was angry to death. He was less than fifty years old when he left."
"There are legal responsibilities to frame people." said the fourth sister. She is a person who reads a lot at home and understands the law.
"That year, what's the way?" Liu Jinshan said, "Cui Jinzhu's family is powerful and there are many males. We can't fight, so we just want to take revenge on a gentleman. It's not too late for ten years. Your uncle was going to join the army at that time. At that time, it was a great military service. He could be promoted and assigned jobs. When he came back, he was a cadre who ate public food. The Cui family tried every means to prevent your uncle from joining the army, saying that our family was a landlord and had a bad background. It was your uncle who ran fifty miles away and persuaded him in front of the recruiting cadres. He also practiced a big Hong team.
I met a good person, and finally joined the army in an extraordinary manner. I performed well in the army and could enter the military academy. When the army issued an order, I drove south and your uncle died in Vietnam and became a martyr. I thought of having more children to fight with the Cui family. However, the country has planned a family plan again. After having too many children, I had no choice but to hide everywhere. I took my wife and children everywhere. I was left with my mother. I have been struggling for decades. When I left, I couldn’t even take a look. I was unfilial."
As he said that, Liu Jinshan made a sad voice, bit open the lid bottle cap with his teeth in front of the grave, and poured a bottle of white wine on the ground.
My mother and several sisters also burst into tears. My third brother-in-law had already avoided the phone and went to discuss business. Liu Kunlun had heard these stories, and his face was as calm as water. Only the eldest brother-in-law was furious and held the hilt of the knife in his hand, as if he could not help but want to kill someone.
The unburned ashes flew all over the sky with Mars, like black butterflies flying out of hell, silently telling the grave and reluctance under the grave.
"You have to repair the tomb and erect a monument." Liu Jinshan looked at the bare tomb and said, "Your grandfather has been suffering for the rest of his life, and he cannot suffer any more after death."
After the grave was over, the old Liu family went down the mountain and returned. Everyone immediately drove back the same route. The motorcycle was still driving. Liu Kunlun drove in the center of the convoy. Suddenly, he received a report from the motorcycle driver on the walkie-talkie. The old Cui family got several agricultural tricycles full of bricks to block the road.
The convoy was forced to stop. Liu Kunlun got out of the car and went forward to check the situation. It turned out that it was not just blocking the road. These agricultural vehicles filled with bricks were here for construction. The construction site was next door to Lao Cui's house, his own residence.
This is going to be robbed clearly! Liu Kunlun was about to start the fight when suddenly his cousin Qin Xiong ran over and said, "Brother, don't do it, it's your own people."
My own person? Liu Kunlun was puzzled. At this time, a thick man came to the front and stretched out his hand: "Brother, my name is Qi Qingyu. Thank you for the last time."
"It's Boss Qi, I'm lucky, what does it mean?" Liu Kunlun and Qi Qingyu shook hands and pointed to the busy construction site and asked.
Qi Qingyu said: "I heard from Qin Xiong that our family wants to build a building. We have the right drawings on hand. The workers are idle, so we brought them to start work. I have read the almanac. Today is suitable for groundbreaking and laying the foundation, which is a good day."
Liu Kunlun was shocked. Boss Qi was too particular. It must be that his father Liu Jinshan and his brother-in-law discussed building a house. The uncle told his son and Qin Xiong told the boss again. So the boss volunteered and refused to call him, and the engineering team came over.
"It's not good, the price has not been negotiated," said Liu Kunlun.
"We are our own people, and we will charge according to the cost price, so that we can't let me lose money." Qi Qingyu took out the cigarette, and the car that was pulling the bricks there was already reversing and leaving room for the vehicle to move.
Liu Kunlun took the cigarette and said to Lao Cui's house: "Didn't you cause trouble there?"
Qi Qingyu spat disdainfully: "It must be a problem, but what do we do? We have seen black and white, and we are not afraid of anything we play. Besides, we are not illegal. Building a house will get in the way. It's not pleasing to you. It's easy to do it."
As he said that, Qi Qingyu scattered smoke everywhere and lit cigarettes for Liu Jinshan who was sitting in the car, praising her, "Brother, you are really promising."
But when Qi Qingyu turned around, he was called Liu Kunlun brothers again. Liu Kunlun saw that he was forty years old and Qin Xiong called his uncle again, so he felt that it was inappropriate. Qi Qingyu smiled and said, "We are talking about the generations of the world, and we will call each other, so it will not be a problem."
"Okay, I'll call you brother. When I'm useful in the future, just speak up." Liu Kunlun knew that no one would be attentive. His current status is different from his past. He is the senior management of Jin Tianswan. Jin Tianswan is about to build a large-scale project in the city. Everyone knows that all the construction workers are looking for ways to build a line, but it is rare for Qi Qingyu to invest such a capital.
Liu Kunlun looked at the small building of the old Cui family and saw a face full of flesh. I don’t know if it was the old man of the Cui family. He raised his hand to aim, and the fleshy face disappeared and the window closed with a slam.
...
The grave visit was successfully concluded, and the old Cui family did not dare to blow up the wings. Liu Kunlun spent a lot of money, and the court was not short of hungry soldiers. He bought ten cigarettes for his brothers and invited another big wine. The eldest brother-in-law accompanied him, and he drank a lot of people and got drunk.
Under the persuasion of his children, the stubborn Liu Jinshan finally agreed to move to the city. Qi Qingyu provided a house, which was the unfinished house that the developer provided with the project payment. It was the most suitable for excessive use. Although it was a unfinished house, it was much better than the shack in a large garbage dump. Liu Jinshan was filled with emotion and said that after wandering for so many years, he finally lived in a house with a thatched house in the house.
Qi Qingyu came to drink with Liu Jinshan almost every day in the name of reporting the progress of the project, and brought wine and vegetables by himself. The eldest brother was sobbing and shouting in a friendly manner that he almost became half of the Liu family. The Liu family had never seen such public relations methods before, and they all fell into trouble, helping Qi Qingyu talk and asking Liu Kunlun to give them some work.
The reunion day is not long after all. My elder sister and her family are going back to Tibet, and their second sister are going back to Guangdong, and their third sister and their third brother-in-law are going back. When Qi Qingyu saw the reluctance in Liu Jinshan's eyes, she persuaded them one by one, asking her elder sister and her elder brother-in-law to come to the mainland to find a job, "mainly for the sake of the children." Qi Qingyu said this, but her elder brother-in-law's temper is more stubborn than a yak, and no one can persuade him.
Qi Qingyu went to persuade her second sister again, saying that although making money in the south is fast, it is not a long-term solution. She should go home and open a clothing store and find an honest person to marry.
The second sister gave Qi Qingyu a blank look and said, "Who did the honest man offend me?" Why should I just be worthy of finding an honest man?"
No one understands the conversation between these two people.
As for the third sister, if my third brother-in-law is not stolen, no one needs to persuade him, and it will be useless to persuade him.
Finally, it was time to part. Liu Jinshan was only sent to the door and asked Xiaowu to drive them to the train station. Looking at the little hand waving out of the car, Liu Jinshan was full of tears. No one expected that this was the last reunion of the old Liu family.
At Omi Railway Station, passengers from all over the country gathered here. My second sister and my eldest sister's family were in different waiting rooms. She took a water cup to pick up water. She met a woman who was wearing the same clothes as her. Both of them were leopard-print leather skirts and LV bags. She couldn't help but smile at each other. The sisters met each other and sat together to talk.
The woman in the same clothes is Mei Ruohua. She has worked in Dunhuang before and is preparing to go to Shanghai to develop.
"What is not possible in Shanghai is still the south is developed, with open concepts and money quickly." My second sister and this sister hit it off at first sight and advised her to go to Dongguan to develop with her.
"Okay, I'll go and refund the ticket," said Mei Ruohua.
...
Qi Qingyu is so considerate and flattering that Liu Kunlun always has to repay his favor. He found Lu Gang and told the situation. Lu Gang said generously that this is human nature. As long as he has the qualifications, he can give him some work, no problem.
But Liu Kunlun found a hint of sadness in Lu Gang's eyebrows, so he asked what troubles were there recently. Lu Gang smiled and said that it was not troubles, but troubles could be solved. What we encountered were difficulties and needed to overcome them.
"Isn't this the same thing?" Liu Kunlun was puzzled.
Lu Gang explained: "When you encounter a gangster who comes to make trouble, you find someone to settle it, that's a problem. The trouble comes to the door on your own initiative. What we encounter is real difficulties, such as changing the nature of land use, such as borrowing 100 million from a bank, which cannot be done by treating guests for dinner and giving gifts."
Liu Kunlun said: "I have some relationships in Beijing, and I don't know if it can come in handy."
Lu Gang didn't know the stories about Liu Kunlun in Beijing, so he didn't believe it very much, so he casually said: "Tell me who do you know?"
