Three hundred and forty-three.2 Grandpa's story (3/5)

Friends from high school, let's start tomorrow! Don't worry about the NBA finals and the Champions League finals, Uncle Bullet will help you watch them. \u0026\u0026\u0026\u0026

Two kegs were placed on the street, and Michelle ran quickly to Papa Hixon's restaurant, asked for two cardboards and a signature pen, and then ran back quickly and said, "Qin, Grandpa Hixon, listen Said that you came to the town, let you go to him anyway."

Qin Shiou nodded, and he told his parents and others about the relationship between Xixon and his second grandfather Qin Hongde, that is, an old buddy and a child. Xixon grew up with Qin Hongde, the big brother, in his youth and youth. The relationship between the two parties is very good.

A group of people were about to walk over, and the five children were squatting on the street, biting their ears excitedly, not knowing what they were discussing.

Now Qin Shiou knew that these brats were planning to sell shelled crabs. Tourists have a great demand for bait, because they all know that the Atlantic Ocean is rich in big fish, fishing for marine fish in Diaoyu Islands and shooting Asian carp are two popular items.

Gordon took the pen and was about to write on the cardboard. Michelle asked suspiciously, "Can you write Chinese characters?"

"Why do you write Chinese characters?"

"You are stupid, whose business are we going to do? The business of the uncles in the town?"

"Hehe, you stupid boy, these people travel abroad, do you think they don't understand English?"

"They know English, but they want to buy from someone who knows Chinese, I bet!"

The two children were arguing fiercely there, and the peddlers beside them began to yell:

"Selling sea cucumbers, there is an invoice..."

"Maple syrup without water, with a receipt..."

"Dried fish, dried scallops, dried cuttlefish, dried squid. Big shrimp, with a receipt..."

The three words 'with invoice' are taught by the tour guide to the hawkers. They are all pronounced in Chinese, and the words are correct. Full of Beijing flavor.

But this sentence is very useful. After the hawkers shouted these three words, the turnover can be increased by more than 80%. After all, many of these people who travel abroad are state-owned enterprises or civil servants.

"Hey, let me tell you to stop arguing. Do you want to go to Papa Hixon's restaurant?" Qin Shiou interrupted the dispute between the brats.

"No, we want to make money." This answer,

in unison.

Qin Shiou waved his hand and left with his parents and others. Qin's mother was worried. He said worriedly: "What if the children are abducted? No, Xiaoou, you must take them with you."

Qin Shiou pointed to Huzi and Leopard lying on the ground and said, "Mom, don't worry, with them two around, no one will touch these children. Besides, it's better to be abducted. These little bastards usually make trouble for me." No, no, no, no."

Qin's mother was still worried. Qin Shiou said hello to the townspeople who set up stalls around, so that Qin's mother was a little relieved, but he still gave Xiaohui his brother-in-law's mobile phone.

The town's main road is just that short. The group quickly arrived at Papa Hixon's restaurant. The old man was waiting outside wearing an apron and a snow-white chef's hat, with a look of eagerness on his expression.

Papa Hixon is the direct beneficiary of the town's tourism development. He is the best chef in the town. He is proficient in Western food and Chinese food. He is kind and always likes to chat with guests happily. So business is good.

Even, it is now on the domestic tourism webpage about Farewell Island. Someone recommended Papa Hixon's restaurant as a must-experience item.

Seeing Qin Shiou and others, Papa Xixon suddenly showed surprise on his face. Hurry up and hug each other.

Now my parents and others are getting used to this Western-style meeting ceremony, but it is inconvenient for the two parties to communicate, and Qin Shiou and Wei Ni have to be interpreters beside them.

Father Hixon invited them into the house. There were no customers in the afternoon, so the father directly hung a sign on the door that said 'we have guests, please do not disturb'. He was absolutely capricious.

Qin Shiou was a little embarrassed. Except for this time, he had seen the old man put up this sign once, and that was the first time he invited Winnie to eat here. The old man made a candlelight dinner and closed the restaurant to cook for him.

Papa Hixon prepared a lot of desserts for this meeting, such as pumpkin cheese pancakes, syrupy mango rolls, soy milk pudding, chocolate mango pancakes, fried North American sweet chestnuts, maple sweet pears, sweet and spicy carrot pie, etc. The sample is exquisite in workmanship, complete in color and fragrance.

Looking at these things that they had only seen on TV, the father and mother looked at Qin Shiou and muttered, "There are so many good things, how much face does Er Bo have?"

"Just bring Xiaohui and those four kids together, Xiaohui has never eaten this before."

Papa Hixon brought juice, coffee and other drinks again, wiped his hands with his apron, and said with a smile, "I don't know your tastes, but these are things that Lao Qin used to like. Do you want to try them?"

Qin Shiou began to translate, and the two sides began to communicate:

"You are Lao Qin's nephews, right? I've heard of you. For a few years, he liked to talk about you, but when I asked him to go home to visit you, he always shook his head."

"In fact, I have never met my second uncle, I just know that there is such a person. When I was born, my second uncle had already left his hometown for a long time." The old man admitted honestly.

Qin Shiou looked puzzled and asked, "What's the matter with Second Grandpa? I haven't heard much about it."

The old man shook his head and said: "I don't know much, so he is rarely mentioned in the family. In fact, your grandfather has four brothers, and he is the youngest."

"Four brothers?" Qin Shiou's eyes widened, "I know Grandpa himself, what about the other three uncles?"

Hixon asked what they were talking about, Qin Shiou translated it, and the father shook his head again, saying that there seemed to be some serious conflict between the four brothers, and he also heard some things from his grandma, as long as he guards his grandpa at home, no one will Mention the names of their brothers.

Papa Hixon pondered for a while, and said slowly: "I know something. Sometimes Lao Qin would talk to me briefly when he drank too much."

Qin Shiou hurried up to listen, he was so curious about this legendary second grandfather.

"It seems that the four brothers got a treasure when they were young. It was World War II. There were Japanese devils in your hometown. The four brothers fell out because of this treasure. You have a grandfather who took refuge in Japan. People, because this treasure killed the eldest of their four brothers, and later Lao Qin brought it to Farewell Island and never returned to his hometown.”

Qin Shiou couldn't help but gasped when he heard Father Hixon say these words. According to the old man, his ancestors were very legendary.

He was probably sure that the so-called treasure was the Seagod's Heart that entered his body now.

However, why did the second grandfather never return to his hometown for the rest of his life? Why didn't grandpa mention the past between himself and his brothers all his life? The eldest grandpa was killed, and the second grandpa died in Canada. What about the third grandpa? Why never heard of it?

These questions can only be kept in my heart, neither my parents nor my father Hixon know. The only one who knows the inside story may be my grandma, but unfortunately my grandma has passed away.

Moreover, what makes Qin Shiou regret the most is that his grandfather and grandmother were both illiterate and illiterate. Their death means that there is no information that can tell the real history.

With so many doubts, Qin Shiou felt that he might not be able to get the answer. (to be continued)
