disappearing gold

Chapter 99 Lao Sun retires

Cheng Fei returned to his home in an unfinished building in Xilang Mountain and opened the familiar courtyard door. The first time he looked up, he saw his parents. He couldn't help but feel his throat heat up, "Mom, Dad, I'm back."

Before entering, he actually hesitated.

Through the slightly sparse wooden door, he saw his parents sitting and chatting in the rough room of the villa. They had more silver hair than black hair. His mother was often silent, and his father often couldn't hear what his mother was saying.

In fact, since his parents moved into this unfinished building, he rarely went home.

This dilapidated home didn't look like a home at all, with drafts all over the door and windows. Now in November, walking into an unfinished building feels like wearing a short coat and walking through the wind. The biting cold penetrated into his bones, and he couldn't help but shrink up.

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Cheng's mother excitedly greeted her, "Hey, Xiaofei is back early for the New Year?"

Cheng's father was also surprised, "Xiao Fei, is business not good?" He still remembered that his son went out to do business.

This left Cheng Fei speechless for a moment, "Dad, the economic situation this year is generally not good. Many big companies have gone bankrupt, and their bosses have run away, so I haven't made much money."

"Ah? Isn't your money taken away by other bosses?" Father Cheng asked.

Cheng Fei and his mother looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Cheng's mother poked Cheng's father on the head and cursed: "You are so old and confused, your ears are getting worse and worse!"

Father Cheng felt aggrieved, "It's my fault again. Can I control these ears?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Fei became a little nervous again, "Mom, haven't dad's ears been checked?"

"Oh, what are you looking at? This is deep in the mountains and old forests, and the nearest doctor has to climb several mountains to see it." Mother Cheng seemed to be used to this kind of life.

But Cheng Fei couldn't adapt, and he felt even more guilty at this moment.

He held his mother's hand tightly and suddenly noticed that there were more wrinkles on his mother's face. She was aging at a rate visible to her right eye.

Looking around, he saw that the green vegetables in the yard were growing very vigorously. He pointed at them and asked, "Mom, did you grow all of these?"

"No, it's also because of your father's contribution." Cheng's mother said.

"Xiao Fei, please tell me what's going on?" Cheng's mother pulled Cheng Fei to sit on Cheng's father's stool.

As soon as Cheng Fei sat down, he immediately looked into his mother's hot and curious eyes, and couldn't help but lower his head. It turned out that his parents really didn't know that he was going to jail.

How to explain such a thing, and is there a suitable time to tell them?

Cheng Fei didn't know, but this moment was obviously not the best opportunity to explain. Perhaps, if possible, he would like to hide this from them for the rest of his life. It was a disgraceful thing, and he had 1000 objections to it in his heart.

"The friend who first introduced me to work has abandoned me. Before the business started, he took away my money." He lied.

But before he realized it, he had already imagined this partner as Song Xiaofan. That's right, if the partner is Song Xiaofan, then the business they want to do is to dig out the gold left by Song Hui. Now, my buddy Xiaofan has run away and disappeared without a trace.

But does part of the money Song Xiaofan take away really belong to him? If we must get to the bottom of this question, then Cheng Fei's answer is - yes.

Cheng's mother was so angry that she cursed. She, who was always nagging, started to get angry again, "You black-hearted man, tell me who he is. Next time I see him, I will beat him until even his parents can't recognize him." !”

It's the familiar curses and threats again. Cheng Fei hated this the most when he was a child, but now he likes it quite a lot. This sentence is so sweet. Why didn’t my past self realize it?

Maybe it's because he's been doing too much recently, or maybe the seven months in prison have made him more sad, gloomy, and silent.

He couldn't get any support outside, but when he heard his mother's words of support, he couldn't help but laugh, "Haha - Mom, they have taken away the money, are they still here waiting for you to beat me?"

"Ah? That's the case." Mother Cheng said, "Where did that kid escape to?" "I don't know, the end of the world!" Cheng Fei shook his head.

Cheng's mother looked up at the sky, and Cheng's father came over and patted Cheng Fei on the shoulder, "Xiao Fei, look more carefully next time."

"Yeah, I understand, Dad." Cheng Fei nodded.

The air in Xilang Mountain is really good. In addition to the villas occupying half of the hillside, the lush trees, beautiful birds, singing insects and blue sky are all gifts from nature.

At this moment, the setting sun was sinking, dyeing the clouds into red ribbons. The ribbons spread and covered half of the sky. That red almost embellished the green vegetables in the villa with a gorgeous color.

It's time to make dinner, but the water tank at home is out of water.

There is no water or electricity in the villa. In the past, my parents used candles to light their schedules, so it was even less possible to use mobile phones. As for drinking water, you have to fetch it from a natural lake on the top of the mountain.

Cheng Fei took the initiative to take on this chore, picked up the pole and walked out. This is something he must do every time he goes home. The top of Xilang Mountain is extremely wide, and it takes a long time to walk there from the gate of the villa.

The work of carrying water is extremely difficult. You can imagine how much strength and courage it takes to live here on weekdays.

One of the reasons why I wanted to move here was that my family's old house was in disrepair and even the roof collapsed. The family couldn't spare a penny to rebuild the house, not even a simple roof!

What's more, within two days, the walls of the house collapsed, as if silently complaining about the ravages of time.

Another opportunity was that Lin Zhiqiang, the real estate developer of the Good Home Group, declared bankruptcy, and the large tract of rough-hewn villas under his name immediately turned into unfinished buildings (many villas were not even completed).

His parents said they wanted to move here, but he strongly opposed it. But they were old, and Father Cheng said firmly: "You also know the situation of our family. It is impossible for us to rent a house with you in the city. To put it harshly, you don't have the conditions."

Cheng's mother cried and said, "It's all this old man's fault. He can't do anything good for his family in his whole life!"

Cheng Fei was silent. How could anyone live in this barren mountain?

Therefore, he can only create good living conditions for his parents by working hard.

Thinking of this, Cheng Fei quickened his pace.

When he came to the lake, he sank the bucket into the water. When the bucket is half full, take it out and put it at your feet. Then use another bucket to lift half of the water to fill the bucket. Then continue to fill the other bucket with clean water.

However, a strange thing happened.

There was a reflection in the clear lake water, and a man was squatting on the shore not far from him. "Ho!" He was startled. When had there been someone hiding in that lush water plant? Why didn't he notice it for so long?

Just as he was about to take a closer look, the man suddenly stood up and then strode away.

The back looked more and more like Song Xiaofan. He shouted: "Xiaofan, is that you?"

But not only did the man not stop, he walked even faster.

Cheng Fei thought he had offended that person with his words, so he suddenly left. His hair was permed with an ion iron, and his whole head was like a large roll of cooked instant noodles stuck to his head. The clothes were the same color as the surrounding trees, and it didn't take long for her back to completely blend into the woods.

Xiaofan has never dressed like this before.

But why does he look so much like Song Xiaofan?

What a weirdo!
