6 Brother and Xiaohong

Zheng Zhe squatted in a county under the Jarut flag for half a year.

This is Zheng Zhe's first time traveling far. The two of them huddled in the broken 212 like a jackdaw, and ran for more than 700 kilometers tremblingly. Zheng Zhe was somewhat happier when he learned that the destination was Inner Mongolia. He had been immersed in sadness and regret on the way here. He was in a hurry to leave, and he had packed up at home for a long time without bringing any important things with him. Rolling up such a pile of useless clothes, I simply don't know what I was thinking at the time.

When Lao Meng heard this, he just laughed at him, and asked him who he had heard of running away and dragging his family with him?Not cumbersome enough.

However, if he could ride a horse on the prairie of Inner Mongolia and look at the flocks, Zheng Zhe would be a little happy. Unexpectedly, when he got out of the car, he would realize that the sky is blue, the wild is vast, and the wind blows the grass. It is full of small bungalows. The counties on the side are almost the same, not to mention the grassland, you can't even see the grass.

Zheng Zhe drove for a day and a night, but when he saw such a rural place, he was extremely disappointed: "Where are the sheep? Where's the grass?"

Lao Meng drove for more than ten hours in a row, his body was sore and his eyes were bloodshot. He was 20 years older than Zheng Zhe, and he was well-informed, so he said disapprovingly: "How can this place be? It’s so close, most of them are Han Chinese, they all go to work and farm, where do the sheep come from? To see the sheep, you have to go west, or go to the suburbs, where there are mountain bags and gazelle.”

Lao Meng seems to have a lot of experience in this area, and I don't know if he has been here before, so he quickly found a small courtyard with a single family to settle down.

The two of them are like rats spending the winter, except to buy the necessary things, basically they can be regarded as staying at home. Zheng Zhe is going crazy after staying for a month. The three meals a day here are meat and pasta, and mutton is eaten. Zheng Zhe felt that he was going to become a goat essence, and his whole body was smelly. He just wanted to sprinkle a handful of cumin on his body.

Lao Meng didn't let him go out, and he could still watch TV at first, but later he couldn't even watch TV anymore, and often sat on a chair in the corner with blank eyes in a daze.

Today, Zheng Zhe drooped his head for half an hour, then raised it up again, speaking weakly: "Brother Meng, I can't take it anymore, when can we go back?"

Lao Meng threw a piece of milk tofu into the milk tea bowl: "It's early, it's just winter, you just stay for a few days and you can't bear it? Be calm, have you seen a few people who run around for two months? back?"

"Didn't you call Brother Zhang and ask?"

"How easy is this to ask? Isn't this causing trouble for others? The police must be eyeing him. You can't call him privately, and all previous efforts will be wasted."

"It's not me asking, you go ask, the police don't know that you have something to do with me."

"It's better to be cautious. You'd better be honest and wait until the year is over."

"It's the new year... am I fucking going to celebrate the new year here..." Zheng Zhe slowly covered his face with his hands, rubbed it hard a few times, his face turned red, and suddenly his eyes widened: " Hey, Brother Meng, didn’t I run away? What do you mean by squatting so hard with me?”

Lao Meng choked on a sip of milk tea, with white foam on his mouth: "Ah... isn't this coming out anyway, I don't have a wife and children, I have nothing to worry about, what are you doing at home, newcomer Those kids are all acting like they're being forced, I'm annoying them, why don't you come out and hide for a while, and you are young and inexperienced, we are also companions."

Lao Meng explained to Zheng Zhe for a long time, but at the end he was a little heartbroken: "Look at my brain, I asked Zhang Chunming to smash that virtue last time. Do you remember that it was smashed with a wine bottle? If you don't pay it back later?" Did you beat me up, hey, you don’t know, I’m so chilled, I don’t want to see him at all now, I still remember when I met Zhang Chunming, he was only in his twenties, now he’s the boss, he can pretend to be aggressive, it doesn’t bother me This big brother puts it in your eyes, let me tell you that I just don’t want to be as knowledgeable as him, to be honest, he’s so aggressive, I’ll hit two with one hand..."

Zheng Zhe closed his eyes, took a deep breath, his nose was filled with the smell of milk.

How much he wished that he had just had a dream, a dream of falling into the sheepfold. When he woke up, Gu Xiaohong, who smelled of soap, was still there, killing chickens outside the courtyard. I, I am willing to risk my three-petal mouth and hug him for a kiss. In short, it is better than now. All day long, except for the fishy smell, and facing a long-haired old man, Zheng Zhe really has lived a life like this Enough is enough.

Just gritted his teeth and endured until the new year, Lao Meng still had no intention of taking Zheng Zhe back. During the period, Zheng Zhe sneaked out to call Zhang Chunming's house twice, and called him once. Either no one answered or no one answered. Zheng Zhe had no choice but to lie on the door frame and look home all day like a wives' stone, with an extremely sad expression: "What kind of dick place is this, I want to go home!"

When he said this, Lao Meng was rolling tobacco leaves for himself in the house.

This winter, he was used to Zheng Zhe's occasional convulsions, and he didn't want to bother him, but the wind blew the tobacco leaves of the rolled paper everywhere. Lao Meng had no choice but to get up, and pulled Zheng Zhe back who was at the door: "Go home, you close the door, it's too windy."

Zheng Zhe has a sallow complexion, and he doesn't even bother to clean himself up when facing Lao Meng. It's so big, look at it, it blows my face, my lips are all cracked, I want to go home!"

Lao Meng laughed when he heard that he started to mess around: "Why are you young people so restless? Where are you? In 20, the guy ran away, and he was bald when he returned home. It is sad to say that he has been hiding for so many years, and finally he was arrested because of stealing things and caught up with the crackdown. The previous 20 years were in vain. It is a bit biased to say too much. Look at his perseverance, you can't insist on going home after only half a year, how do you go home, your house may be full of police waiting to arrest you now..."

Under Lao Meng's obstruction, Zheng Zhe spent another month in a daze. Just when he thought he was going crazy, Zhang Chunming finally got news.

Hearing that he could go home, Zheng Zhe couldn't wait for a moment. He bought a train ticket in a hurry, threw the money and the car to Lao Meng who wanted to go west to ride a horse, and went back to his hometown alone.

In March, the spring breeze in the north is expected to be cold, the ice is thawing, and it is sluggish everywhere, with a sliver of moisture.

When Zheng Zhe touched the door of the house, he suddenly felt embarrassed. He felt that his image was too bad, and he was afraid that Gu Ming would dislike him, so he ran to the door of Ai Jin's house and knocked on it for a long time, wanting to go in and clean it up, but no matter how much he called Ai Jin's house, there was no movement. Helpless, had to take out the key to open the door and enter the house.

There is no one in my house, but there are traces of someone living there. There is a faint smell of cold ashes in the house, and the washing water in the washbasin is still warm. It is estimated that the person has just left.

Zheng Zhe boiled a pot of water, washed his hair and face carefully, and changed into clean clothes. After he was done, he looked at the mirror for a while, walking around, thinking that he was romantic Suave, but the hair is a bit long, which is a fly in the ointment, so he went out and found a place to shave his hair.

Zheng Zhe met a brother when he was paying the bill at the barber shop. The two shaved their heads side by side, and had a difficult conversation amidst the buzzing of the electric fader. It took half a year to raise my lungs.

After saying goodbye to that person, Zheng Zhe reluctantly called Zhang Chunming.

He originally planned to meet Gu Ming first, and even thought out the lines for the reunion after a long absence. He didn't want to meet his own people halfway, so he had to go to see Zhang Chunming first. After all, if the news of his return came to Zhang Chunming's ears from others Here, it was really inappropriate, Zhang Chunming helped himself to resist such a big event, Zheng Zhe would always put him first.

Zhang Chunming happened to be at home when he called. He was in a good mood and told Zheng Zhe to go to his house now.

He was very happy to see Zheng Zhe. He spent a lot of medical expenses and sold a lot of face to make up for Li Si. This was all investment. Now that the rewards have come back, whoever is happy will be happy if he is not happy.

I have long felt that Zheng Zhe is a kid who doesn't care, but he is really easy to use. As Zhang Chunming expected at first, this kid is a fast steel knife and has a brain. Zhang Chunming needs such a brother to be devoted to him. But he could clearly see that Zheng Zhe was half-hearted. Such an opportunity just happened to fulfill Zhang Chunming. Zheng Zhe owed him now, and he would pay back what he owed. He felt that he had another life in his hands.

"Why did you come by yourself? Where's Lao Meng?"

"He's still in Inner Mongolia."

"What? He's still squatting in Inner Mongolia? What kind of thing is this? Those who should run back are running outside, and those who shouldn't be running are still running outside?"

"..."

"Forget it, Lao Meng has always been cautious in handling things, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while, so let him go."

While the two were talking, Zhang Chunchun came back from the outside.

Zhang Chunming looked at his watch subconsciously, and began to scold him with a straight face: "You boy, come back early? What time is it?"

Zhang Chunchun felt cold all over his body, and threw the woolen hat on his head onto the sofa, steaming hotly: "Dad, I forgot to bring my math books, didn't I come back while class was over? In the schoolbag at hand, give me that schoolbag, hurry up."

Zheng Zhe smiled when he saw Zhang Chunchun.

Zhang Chunming is more protective of Zhang Chunming, and he rarely lets this child appear around him, so many brothers who follow him have never seen his son, but Zheng Zhe has seen him once or twice, and he has also seen him once beside Gu Ming. Zheng Zhe also doesn't want others to know the relationship between Gu Ming and himself. He always feels that he is messing around in the Tao, and he may end up making enemies with others at any time. However, when he saw Zhang Chunchun, Zheng Zhe still avoided showing his face.

Because Zhang Chunming had a cigarette in his hand, he used his index finger and little finger to pull the schoolbag. Unexpectedly, he pulled it a little too much, and the schoolbag almost didn't fall on the ground. Because Zheng Zhe was sitting next to him, he reflexively went to help him. But there was still a pencil case that came out of the mouth of the schoolbag, and the pen was thrown all over the ground.

Zhang Chunming frowned and cursed: "You motherfucker, don't do your homework on the sofa in the future, go back to your room and do it!"

Zhang Chunchun rolled his eyes, and squatted on the ground to tidy up with Zheng Zhe, but saw that Zheng Zhe suddenly stopped tidying up, staring at a photo on the ground with great interest.

Zheng Zhe picked it up and looked at it for a while, and couldn't help laughing.

In the photo, Gu Ming had his eyes closed, but his mouth was grinning. The photo wasn't taken well, but just by looking at his eyebrows and red lips, it can be seen that he is a beautiful person.

At the same time, Zheng Zhe was also a bit sour, he hadn't had a photo with Gu Xiaohong yet, this kid took a photo with someone else first.

He couldn't put it down holding the photo, turning it over and over again, unwilling to let go. Originally, it didn't matter if he didn't turn it over, but after flipping it for a while, he felt something was wrong, so he stared down at the few lines behind the photo.

Seeing this, Zhang Chunming poked his head slightly: "Oh, this is the little buddy from Spring, and we have a very good relationship."

Zhang Chunming was squatting on the ground to clean up. Hearing Zhang Chunming's words, he suddenly remembered: "By the way, Dad, can you give me more money after I graduate? Let's go, I will accompany him home first, and then I will go to play around Shandong, anyway, I have nothing to do during the holidays."

"How long? If it takes a long time, I can't let my people wait for him. He can buy a ticket and come back."

"Oh, there's no need for your people to wait. He's not coming back. Why come back? His family is over there. He's from Shandong."
