Gao Chengcheng led the three of them through the snack street and onto another street.Fang Sishen never came here because there was no need for it.

"You really are, how do you let foreigners buy such an expensive car?" Gao Chengcheng was very worried about the [-] Midas.

Fang Sishen didn't defend himself: "Well, I didn't think about it."

Hong Xinyao acted like a good man, and admitted: "It's none of Teacher Fang's business, I took him to buy it."

Wei Deli was more righteous: "The car is very good, I like it very much."

Gao Chengcheng stared: "It's not good to recruit people to steal so quickly? I'm not guilty, do you understand the crime of pregnant Bi?" Turning to Hong Xinyao, "The foreigner doesn't know, and you don't know either?"

Unexpectedly, Young Master Hong felt wronged and angry: "I don't know? I lost three fucking cars!"

Wei Deli was surprised and admired: "Ah?!"

"Bought the fourth car back, the old woman insisted on forcing me to carry it up to the sixth floor every day. I was so exhausted, I might as well throw it on the balcony and idle!"

Fang Sishen explained to Gao Chengcheng: "His family is rich."

Gao Chengcheng glanced at Hong Xinyao and nodded, "So he's a playboy."

Young Master Hong understood that this was not a good word, and was about to explode, when Fang Shudai smiled at himself: "He is not bad, a dude is a dude, he is willing to reason."

Immediately, his momentum weakened, and finally he squeezed out a cry between his teeth: "Cut!"

Only Wei Deli kept asking: "Have they all been stolen? Can't they be retrieved? Why are there so many thieves?"

When they reached the bus stop, Gao Chengcheng got on the bus first, and the three quickly followed.Being squeezed by the surrounding passengers, the conversation was interrupted.

Fang Sishen suddenly called out: "Daniel!" Seeing Wei Deli turning his head, he pointed to his schoolbag.

Before Wei Deli could react, Hong Xinyao stretched out his long arms and lifted the schoolbag on his back to his chest.Wei Deli realized that he had lost his vigilance again, belatedly hugged the belongings in his arms, and nodded at the two of them.

After sitting for only one stop, Gao Chengcheng waved his hand to get off the car.While walking along the street, he reminded: "Listen to my instructions and don't interrupt me." He walked forward as if he was bored, and his eyes glanced at the rows of bicycles parked on the sidewalk from time to time.

Wei Deli asked Fang Sishen in a low voice: "What is he doing?"

Fang Sishen was about to answer, but Hong Xinyao stopped him by pulling his sleeves: "Don't do anything bad!"

Not far away, a young man under a tree, who was squatting and watching people play chess, suddenly walked over and said in a low voice: "How many people, are you looking at the car?"

Gao Chengcheng nodded imperceptibly: "Look."

"Is this one?" The man stopped in front of an old car.

"Is there a bigger one? The tall one rides."

"Yes, under the flyover in front."

The overpass is full of people's temporary storage of bicycles, and there are indeed several beam-elevated models in the corner.

"How much?"

"One hundred twenty."

"Hmm..." Gao Chengcheng pretended to hesitate, "The price is a bit expensive."

"Is this still expensive? Authentic old brand, pure steel tripod!"

Hong Xinyao interjected: "Damn it! I won't buy a new one at a hundred and twenty? The chain is rusted to such a degree, who knows if I can ride it! Buy it now, fifty!"

The man looked around and pointed into the alley: "Let's go over there and talk slowly, the price can be negotiated, how about it?"

Fang Sishen didn't speak for a while, but suddenly said: "Senior Brother Gao, wait a minute." He said to the car seller, "I'm sorry, let's discuss it." He pulled the three of them aside.

"Brother, what kind of cars are sold here?"

Gao Chengcheng was surprised: "A used car."

Fang Sishen's expression sank: "It's not a normal second-hand car, is it so secretive?"

Gao Chengcheng was very surprised: "You don't know?!" Thinking about it, it seemed that he had never seen Fang Sishen riding a bicycle before, and asked, "Even if you haven't been here, you must have heard of it, right?"

Fang Sishen shook his head: "No."

"Hey! You really are! Let me tell you, the bikes sold in this place occupy more than 50.00% of our school's bicycle market, and the other 50.00% is monopolized by the graduate flea market. Usually freshmen enter the school for a month, and the fellowship or club All the old students will bring them here, it can be called one of the three major bases for the freshman entrance education of Jingshi University, you don’t know?”

Fang Sishen didn't answer, but said, "You haven't told me what kind of second-hand cars these are."

The man who sold the car got impatient and came over and asked, "Do you want it? I sincerely want to give you a cheaper price."

Gao Chengcheng was about to speak when Fang Sishen said decisively, "I'm sorry, we don't want it anymore."

Wei Deli yelled: "Why not? He said it could be cheaper—hey!"

Fang Sishen grabbed the strap of his schoolbag and walked away, dragging him for dozens of meters.Gao Hong and the others had no choice but to follow.

Wei Deli was puzzled, almost angry: "Fang, why?"

"Because..." Fang Sishen was at a loss for words.No matter how upright he is, he still finds it difficult to tell a foreigner about it.

"Because we suddenly discovered that that person is a liar." Gao Chengcheng didn't even bat an eye.

Wei Deli looked at the three of them, showing a hurt expression: "I know it's not like this, you lied to me."

Hong Xinyao spoke up: "That's true. What are we lying to you for?" Seeing that Wei Deli still didn't believe it, he emphasized, "You can't trust us, and you can't trust Teacher Fang? Teacher Fang never lies, right, Teacher Fang ?” Fang Sishen remained silent.

Wei Deli stared at Gao Chengcheng: "If you don't tell me, I'll ask someone else. You said it just now, and many students know it."

Hong Xinyao snorted, "Can't you tell? Of course it's—"

"No!" Gao Chengcheng stomped his feet, "No! It doesn't matter if you buy it or not, don't talk nonsense!"

"Of course it's from-steal." First Young Master Hong bit down a Spanish word euphemistically, and glanced at Gao Chengcheng, meaning, young master, am I that unreasonable?

Fang Sishen sighed, and said slowly in Spanish: "Daniel, all the cars sold here are stolen. This is a stolen goods market."

Wei Deli was stunned, and couldn't help but look back. The bike seller was still squatting under the eaves of the shop, and the rows of temporarily stored bicycles on the side of the road were densely packed, and nothing unusual could be seen.

"You guys, why didn't you call the police?"

"No evidence, useless."

"Why do you need evidence to call the police? Finding evidence is the job of the police." Wei Deli reached for his mobile phone in his schoolbag, "They steal bicycles and sell them. I want to call the police and let the police arrest them."

The words fell silent, this time it was Gao Chenggong who grabbed his schoolbag, just as a bus came into the stop, and dragged him onto the bus.

Wei Deli was angry: "What are you doing?!"

Hong Xinyao patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, Brother Gao is doing it for your own good. If they see you calling, they will suspect us."

Gao Chengcheng acted like a donkey with good intentions, and said unhappily: "You can buy it or not, don't make trouble for yourself." After getting out of the car, he stared at Wei Deli again, "You look so eye-catching, you must be remembered. Stay here. Unless you really plan to buy it, don’t go there any more.”

The foreign devils didn't appreciate it at all, and asked: "Why didn't you let me call the police? It's wrong to steal bicycles and sell them! Why are you going to buy the bicycles they stole? This is wrong!"

Gao Chengcheng waved his hand: "I can't explain clearly to you foreigner."

Hong Xinyao saw that Fang Sishen's face was very ugly, and felt that the pedantry of the bookworm was too unnecessary, but he patiently explained to the foreign devils: "Below 2000 yuan, the police department only accepts the case and does not file it, which means no one cares about it. Look at those broken The car is worth 200 yuan at most. Calling the police is not troublesome enough! This group of people are doing business without capital, and they only want to sell it as soon as possible. , just get another one, so," imitating the foreign style, shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands, "this will save everyone trouble, why bother the police uncle..."

Gao Chengcheng didn't expect this dude to have so much experience in the world, so he glanced at him and said, "I can't see you, kid, you know a lot."

Hong Xinyao returned him with an unpredictable and profound smile, and said to himself, young master, I can do both black and white in Hejin, and the capital is only bigger because the forest is bigger and the water is deeper, so the tricks are not the same.

Wei Deli asked to understand what it means to only accept but not file a case, and suddenly said: "My bicycle is [-] yuan, I want to file a case! Maybe they stole my car, I ask the police to help me find it!"

The community inspection office was set up near Jingshi University, but he couldn't resist his strong request to resort to legal means, so the four went to report the case.The police received the international friends warmly and promised to do everything possible to help recover the lost property.Hearing that Wei Deli revealed that the area around Huangpa Xie Street was a market for thieves to sell stolen goods, the director was shocked: "There is such a thing? Don't worry, we will start an investigation immediately, and we will definitely get to the bottom of this matter and never let criminals Get away with it..." He was specially invited to go in and explain the situation.

Gao Chengcheng was afraid that this straight-hearted person would accidentally reveal the matter of buying stolen goods, so he hurriedly added later: "We also heard what others said, and we accompanied him to find a car!"

A policeman stopped the three people outside and gave a serious education: "College students must know how to maintain the image of the country and pay attention to international influence. What is the difference between inside and outside? Hmm? Don't lead others to places where foreigners should not go. Be a little conscious. Do you understand? We are working hard to improve those unsatisfactory phenomena, there is no need to involve outsiders..."

When he walked out of the inspection station, only Wei Deli was full of hope.Fang Sishen couldn't bear it, and the two smiled tacitly.

Hong Xinyao said: "It will be fine in two months, and I will definitely go to the countryside to do as the Romans do."

Gao Chengcheng teased him: "Why don't you also go to the countryside and do as the Romans do?"

Young Master Hong shook his hair coolly: "Master, I'm not a playboy, I don't need it!"

The afternoon passed like this.After sending Hong Xinyao and Wei Deli away, Fang Sishen and Gao Chengcheng returned to the dormitory together.

"Senior brother, I'm sorry." To disappoint the other party's kindness, this apology has nothing to do with right and wrong.

"It's nothing, I didn't think about it this time. I really didn't expect, you... well, anyway, you can talk to Wei Deli later, be more vigilant in the future, and don't be so rash. He didn't wait for three Five days a day, a whole year, he will suffer!" Gao Chengcheng laughed, "I have no intention of leaking state secrets to foreigners at all, it's because your awareness is too low. Remember, all the bad things caused by this You are responsible for eliminating international influence." The more he talked, the happier he was, and he waved his hand and left.

Fang Sishen went into the dormitory to pick up the white candle and sandalwood she bought last week, and went home by car.What happened in the afternoon was not pleasant, but it did not constitute too much psychological burden.He would definitely not buy stolen goods himself, let alone trick Wei Deli into buying them.As for the others, there is nothing to do and nothing to do.

Walking into the new campus of the Higher Humanities College, the lights are shining in the dim twilight, and the smell of food wafting from the kitchens creates a lively atmosphere.Fang Sishen walked quickly with his head down, the light was not good, but no one recognized him.Walking to the front of my building, I subconsciously looked up, but there was no light in the window.

He took out the key to open the door, reached out to touch the switch, and with a "snap", the white light shone down, reflecting the plain wall like snow.

"Dad..." He thought that there was no one at home, but he never expected his father to sit on the floor.

Fang Duzhi raised his head, his eyes were a little dull, and after a while, he said, "Xiaosi... why are you back?"

Only then did Fang Sishen realize that his father was sitting with his back leaning against a large flowerpot of the fruit tree, with two wine bottles standing beside him and a tall glass in his hand. The room was filled with a strong smell of sweet wine.

"Father!" Fang Sishen had never seen his father drinking foreign wine, let alone Professor Fang Duzhi's wild and unruly attitude, so he was so frightened that he hurried over to help him.The drunk person was extremely heavy, unable to stand up no matter what, instead he was dragged half-sat on the ground.

"It's good to be back. Have a drink with Dad." There was another empty wine glass hanging on the edge of the flowerpot. Fang Duzhi wiped the dirt with his sleeve and poured half a glass of red wine.

Fang Sishen picked up two wine bottles, one was already empty and the other was about to run out.Although the alcohol content of foreign wine is not high, it is hard to guarantee that accidents will not happen if you drink it like this.Breaking free from his father's arm, he stood up, moved the wine bottle away first, and before he could take away the wine glass, Fang Duzhi spilled the last half glass of wine into the flower pot, and said to himself: "By the way, Xiao Si can't drink it." , you should drink it."

"Dad!" Fang Sishen snatched the cup, "Alcohol is not good for plants!"

"Hehe..." Fang Duzhi patted the flowerpot, "It's okay, I've been watering it for three years."

Seeing his son's astonished expression, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, not many, just once a year." He rubbed his palm back and forth on the edge of the flower pot, "You don't want to come back to accompany me, but luckily he is with me."

Fang Sishen stood with his head down for a while, and finally said: "Don't drink it, it's bad for your health." Putting down his schoolbag, he took a cushion from the sofa and handed it to his father.Searching through the bookcase, I found a celadon perforated rack for viewing, lit candles and incense sticks, and carefully inserted it into it.Get yourself a cushion, and sit cross-legged across from your father.

Fang Duzhi stared intently at his every movement, his eyes were almost greedy.It wasn't until his son sat down in front of him that he woke up in shock and turned to look at the green smoke and candle flame.After a while, he murmured: "Since there are incense candles, please put out the lights."

Fang Sishen got up and turned off the light, then sat back down.

Candles flicker, overlap and flicker.The sandalwood is delicate and sweet, mixed with the scent of wine, but it does not have the bleak and bleak meaning of Qingming sacrifices, but instead lingers a lazy and leisurely pastime charm.

The father and son sat opposite each other silently, Fang Sishen was about to speak, when his father said slowly, "The first time our group drank foreign wine was at your, your adoptive father's house."

"In terms of living conditions, everyone is not necessarily worse than him, but their family is more stylish and has a lot of tricks. Drinking foreign wine, eating Western food, opening salons, not to mention these lively activities during the holidays, even if you eat casually, you must order it. Light up the candles and play some music. Mama He is a well-known beauty and talented woman, and the food is so exquisite. It's a pity that every time I go to their house for dinner, I can't get enough to eat, haha..." Fang Duzhi was immersed in memories Among them, with a gentle smile on his face, "I can't even eat enough, and I always want to go, so I think it's more interesting than other people's homes. At that time, apart from ancient Spanish, he was terrified in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and said that his father was a scientist. , I don’t believe anyone. I’m so stupid, I’ve been squatting for a year and got repeated grades, but I look younger than everyone else, and I’m more playful than anyone else..."

The past that should have been told many years ago, how could it be expected to happen so suddenly today.Fang Sishen clutched his knees tightly with both hands, afraid that he would be too excited and interrupt his father's thoughts.

Fang Duzhi spoke very slowly, intermittently, with great jumps in the content, but the tone was always flat and without ups and downs: "Unfortunately, such days didn't last long. Later, it was true that I couldn't eat enough. One day For a while, his father enjoyed special allowances, so he stole things from home and distributed them to others...

"At the beginning of the third major transformation, he was the only son in the family. It is said that he could not go down due to favors. However, the rumors against his parents became more and more serious. They had been communicating with overseas relatives. At this time, it became ironclad evidence. Leaving Beijing is the best choice. There are more than 30 of us in the same group, all of whom are students of National No. [-] High School. Halfway along the way, dozens of people from other places gathered and headed to Manggan Road together."

Fang Duzhi laughed softly: "This group of young masters who don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth almost fought to the death all the way, so he became a peacemaker along the way. When they arrived at Manggan Road, they scattered into the endless virgin forest, and they were all gone. It was like the fish and shrimps in Xiaohegou rushed into the sea, and even the best short-wave radio lost its signal, and then I slowly came back to it. Tens of thousands of young people went to Qingqiu Baishui to reform, and sent to Manggan Road But it was only our group. Not long after, some ran away in the middle of the night and lost their way and froze, some suddenly went crazy and hanged themselves, and some were crushed to death by a tree after their desperation...Only he can still laugh..."

Fang Sishen listened to this for a long time, a question in his heart became more and more intense, and finally said timidly: "My mother... Mom, what were you doing at that time?"

Fang Duzhi didn't seem to expect him to ask such a question. After a long while, he said, "Your mother joined me halfway. I found out later that her family was a big businessman and landlord in Yuezhou. , all have their family's business name. After the tenth year of the Republic of China, they handed over to the public one after another. Her father, your grandfather, was the president of the Southeast Chamber of Commerce at that time. "

Seeing his son staring at him intently, Fang Duzhi tilted his head slightly: "I have inquired about it. Mr. Jiang is said to have passed away as early as the 28th year of the Republic of China. The Jiang family is thin and there are only a few distant relatives left. , almost disappeared, so I didn't tell you specifically."

Fang Sishen didn't know that he had a stubborn and sad face, forcing the person opposite him to have nowhere to escape.

"Your mother...was very beautiful...but the young lady also had a bad temper and was very coquettish..." Fang Duzhi thought to himself: thrown in the dark primeval forest, who else would have the leisure to accommodate women except that idiot He Shensi?

But she tried her best to pick up something pleasant to say in her mouth: "Fortunately, she can cook, but she cooks too carefully. The fungus mushrooms are cut like hair, and they are eaten with rabbit meat and refined oil - delicious is delicious, the more delicious it is, the more delicious it is." The more hungry she ate, the more effort she had to make. She couldn’t make a plate for a long time, and she used up the meat she had saved for a month. There was a meeting in the team to criticize, and she couldn’t say anything, so she just cried..."

Fang Duzhi reached out to reach for the cigarettes on the coffee table, but he couldn't reach it. He leaned his head against the flower pot in a daze, and the faces that had long been blurred in the depths of his memory gradually emerged.Jiang Xiaolan, as the name suggests, is really a graceful and beautiful Jiangnan woman.He Shensi often speaks in dialect at home, but suddenly meets a fellow countryman in a desperate situation, and sees the shadow of his mother in the other party, how can he not get close and protect?Looking back now, all kinds of things later were inevitable, and all the struggles of Fang Duzhi back then were purely futile.

"The superiors stopped letting her cook, and she carried the wood with the men, and was dragged back to be criticized, causing injuries all over her body. We boys really couldn't see it, we had a big fight with the people sent by the superiors, and told her to go back Cooking..." Back then, Fang Duzhi wanted to protect He Shensi, and He Shensi wanted to protect Jiang Xiaolan, but Fang Duzhi had no choice but to hold them all in his arms with one hand and with the courage of a young man.

When Fang Sishen heard that his mother was carrying the wood with the man, his whole body trembled.Of course he knew what it was like to carry logs on Manggan Road.Even if it is a burly man, at the beginning, there are always new bubbles and old bubbles, old calluses piled up with new ones, and the palms and shoulders are red and swollen for several days before they can slowly adapt.In the ice and snow, four bars and eight people marched on a big log while shouting.A slight unsteadiness in the gait may cause injury, and the one with short legs and weak strength will bear the brunt.It was minus [-] to [-] degrees, and the outdoor injury was so numb that I couldn't feel it. Only when I recovered from the heat afterwards, the pain like a stabbing knife came back strongly, and no medicine could stop it.

Fang Duzhi stopped talking, and stared blankly at the burning candle.Following two soft sounds of "噗噗", the candlelight was extinguished, only the dark red incense head seemed to be a little fluorescent, hanging between the father and son.

"Gululu..." There was an inappropriate and strange sound.

"Ah..." Fang Sishen wiped away his tears with his backhand, and made a smiling face in the darkness, "It's my stomach that's growling, I haven't eaten dinner."

Get up and turn on the light: "Dad, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Can I cook noodles?"

"Okay." Fang Duzhi sat on the ground, looked at the back of the person who walked into the kitchen, and reflected from the past: I always felt that this child's demeanor was like He Shensi, and those careless and steady actions were actually more like Jiang Xiaolan.

"Dang!" Fang Sishen lost his mind, and the lid of the pot fell on the stove.

Fang Duzhi said in his heart: Well, it's better to be as stupid as that.Walking into the kitchen to take over: "Xiao Si, let Dad come."
