Rebirth Night Talk
Chapter 23
Zhao Xuejun sat with Gao Guoyuan at the door of the house, and Gao Guoyuan squatted on the stone pier, sucking the big front door one by one.During the Chinese New Year, Gao Guoyuan and Gao Guolin brought their families to visit relatives, but Gao Juzi directly knocked them out the door.She said: She has no such relatives, and the Gao family will not be allowed to enter the Zhao family in the future.
Looking at it, the sky was getting dark, and Gao Guoyuan, who had lived in the city for two days, was a little anxious. He sipped his cigarette, turned his face and asked Zhao Xuejun: "San'er, is your mother really not at home?"
Zhao Xuejun read the textbook by the street lamp, and nodded without looking up: "I'm really not here, I went to Wuhan."
"Then when will you be back?" Gao Guoyuan asked.
"One month." Zhao Xuejun replied.
"Then... what about your father?" Gao Guoyuan asked again.
"My dad is next month too." Zhao Xuejun replied.
Gao Guoyuan stood up, still not believing him, but he didn't dare to ask further, for fear that Zhao Xuejun would be like those two big boys, who would walk in the door as if he didn't know him without saying a word when he saw him.Xuejun is the only one with a good attitude in the family.Back then, because of the military affairs, Lao Gao's family offended Lao Zhao's family severely.
The old lady went to the city once last year, and spoke soft words to the girl.Unexpectedly, Gao Juzi, who has always been honest, didn't give Li Niang any face this time.Gao Guoyuan didn't expect that it was his mother's careful thinking about taking the money back then. At first, he was afraid that Zhao Jianguo would despise Gao Juzi if he raised it.I taught my sister to take the money from home and save it for my mother just in case.From the beginning to the end, Gao Juzi only agreed to borrow the money up to 500 yuan.Later, it was my father who spent a lot of money and didn't take care of it.
Gao Juzi said that when her parents are old, she pays for alimony, how much they pay, and how much Gao Juzi pays, it's just that she doesn't recognize her relationship.She also said that if Lao Gao's family dared to meet Zhao Jianguo privately, she would find a tree and hang herself.In short, Lao Gao's family is not allowed to see Zhao Jianguo.
Gao Guoyuan's mood is very complicated. After the contract responsibility system, he and his younger brother had the courage to repay the money and became the first batch of Baoshan people.They planted fruit saplings all over the mountain. They originally planned to sell the saplings and return the money to the Zhao family.Unexpectedly, the dozen or so hills contracted together around here are all planted with fruit tree seedlings.Seeing that other people have connections, the saplings are all sold. In a village, only the son-in-law of the old Gao's family is a government official, and the saplings of the old Gao's family cannot be sold.
When autumn came, Guolin heard from fellow villagers that my brother-in-law’s county was going to renovate the forest this year, and they just thought that they would buy whoever’s.Besides, if Lao Gao's family got the money, wouldn't they be able to pay back the Zhao family's money?So I came here happily, but my sister was still the same. After hearing what they said, she even said: Isn't it enough for you to hurt us? As soon as our old Zhao woke up, you thought of ways to hurt people.
Conscience of heaven and earth, this time I really want to pay back my sister's money.Gao Guoyuan felt that he had been wronged, and he had been coming here a lot in the past few months.But I never saw my sister.Seeing that it's winter, if they can't sell it, the family will suffer a lot.
Gao Guoyuan stood up and took out a grasshopper from his bosom. He wanted to give it to Zhao Xuejun, but he probably felt that it was shabby, so he put it back again: "Well, uncle is gone. Come back tomorrow (day)."
Zhao Xuejun looked at Gao Guoyuan in the distance, and felt uncomfortable.Mom was single-minded about breaking up with her natal family. This time it was not a lie, it really chilled her heart and lungs.For a creature like a mother, whoever touches her cub will do her best.When Zhao Xuejun had an operation, the doctor suggested that he should go to a large hospital in the provincial capital.But the money was enough for treatment in Wanlin at that time.Now as soon as winter comes, a little coolness will immediately cause seasonal bronchitis.As for the cause... Western medicine can't explain it, and Chinese medicine says it hurts the vitality.Gao Juzi took all the faults on herself, and now she is really blatantly doting on Zhao Xuejun.
Recently at home, grandma has a good relationship with mom. As soon as the salary is raised every month, mom is very good, and she will hand over the salary to grandma with the salary slip.Now, to pay Aunt Gaixia's wages, and to buy vegetables and things at home, she has to ask grandma for money.In Dad's words, our grandma is the great accountant.
With the power of grandma, life is more generous than before.Take this year's Chinese New Year as an example, there are three of them, and each of them got one yuan of New Year's money.Before that, grandma gave at most fifty cents.My mother was a little cautious, and Zhao Xuejun didn't want to expose it.In addition to feeling cold towards her natal family, Gao Juzi was also afraid of her natal family meeting her father, because she gave 3000 yuan to Zhao Jianguo in front of her grandma in the name of her family.If Zhao Jianguo saw his natal family, the lie would be exposed.At that time, the source of the money will be revealed.Zhao Xuejun also didn't want Gao Juzi to be exposed, so he had to cover it up.
"Uncle." Zhao Xuejun called Gao Guoyuan who was about to leave.
Gao Guoyuan turned around and looked at his nephew: "What?"
"You'd better...don't come, I mean, come again in a few years, my mother will be angry." Zhao Xuejun said.
Gao Guoyuan's face turned red for a while, then turned pale for a while, and finally he murmured: "Jun, my uncle's family really wants to pay back the money. If you sell this sapling, you will get money. Your aunt also said to pay it back. You and your father Tell uncle."
Zhao Xuejun scratched his head and thought for a while: "Uncle, either, you can go to the Wuxian County Committee and ask. I heard from the uncle of the Municipal Committee that there are also forests there, and a lot of fruit trees are needed. You may not have enough."
Gao Guoyuan's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Zhao Xuejun nodded: "Really! They don't want to move too much, yours may not be enough." Zhao Xuejun was not talking nonsense, Wuxian really wanted fruit trees.Nowadays, the consultation is underdeveloped, and fruit trees can’t be bought anywhere in Wuxian County, and they can’t be sold at my grandma’s house.Zhao Xuejun only found out about it when he occasionally went to the Municipal Party Committee to find the porter, Uncle Wu, and asked for an old envelope.
Gao Guoyuan left, and never came back after leaving.Later, Zhao Xuejun heard people from his grandma's house say that Lao Gao's family had a fortune. His family had sold fruit trees from the entire hill and became a ten thousand yuan household.Later, their family covered a lot of hilltops.Zhao Xuejun understands that if you don't get the money, it may feel really different from getting the money.He never mentioned this to his mother, for fear that Orange's mother would be sad.
Putting the textbook back into the schoolbag, Zhao Xuejun said to the window: "Aunt Gaixia, don't cook for me, I'll go to my godfather's house to eat. My godfather's house will stay at night, don't keep the door open for me." After finishing speaking, He went to the house and took a pair of "Peony Picture", wrapped it in newspaper and went out.
Lao Chang doesn't live in the museum now.He wanted to live there, but the house is currently undergoing comprehensive renovations, and even after the renovations, he would not be able to go back.At the end of last year, Lao Chang bought an old yard.At first, the organization arranged a position for him very considerately, and Lao Chang was very serious and went to work with enthusiasm.After going to work, Lao Chang discovered that sitting in an office is much more difficult than staying in the concierge.One unit corresponds to countless units below, and there are supervisors and a lot of assistants above the unit.Meeting here today, meeting there tomorrow, giving lectures today, reporting tomorrow, writing briefings today, presenting reports, quarterly reports, experience, learning various spirits, doing voluntary labor, and being voluntary.Colleagues in the unit have weddings and funerals, socializing with each other... So, I only know how to look at antiques and gates, and I am always worried.
Lao Chang gave up, he doesn't care anymore, he can go to the unit if he wants to, and he just hangs around if he doesn't want to.The old porch has been demolished since the museum was built.He also went all out.The old courtyard where Lao Chang lives now is a kind of Shanxi folk house.There are tall houses on all sides, and the gate is on the side.There used to be three families living here, but now, these people have all moved away.
Zhao Xuejun came to the gate of his godfather's house and looked around.Recently, it seems that someone has been looking for the godfather, so the godfather locked the door every day and pretended to be dead at home.He pushed open a small square on the door, took out the key from under his neck, put his hand in, took the key from inside, opened the door and walked in, then locked the door with his backhand.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Xuejun raised his eyes and saw a poem written in chalk on the opposite screen wall. He looked at it for a while and was amused.
"Cool bamboo mat and green gauze kitchen, a pillow of cool breeze and rest during the day. Sleeping and listening to the night. There is nothing to do in the office. Slowly, I read a few books by the bedside. Scratching my first poem and returning it, I feel that I am lazy and lazy. Qi, how about it, occupies the world and blindly fools."
This word belongs to Su Shi, and it is called Nanxiangzi He Yang Element, which means, the cool bamboo mat and the green gauze curtain, sleep in the daytime with the breeze under your pillow, and sit in the government office at night to work.I don't have any official business, it's too leisurely, I pass the time by reading by the bedside.Scratching his head, he wrote a poem about hermitage, thinking that he was neglecting fame.If you want to ask me what talent and tolerance I have, where is it less than others?But all the stupidity of the world caught me up too. (Note)
Walking into the yard, Lao Chang sat motionless in the middle of the yard, his eyes fixed on a small stove in front of him, on which was a pot of stewed braised pork, and a pot of braised pork stewed in red was emitting an aroma.
"I just said, why did I write that, it turned out to be stew." After Zhao Xuejun finished speaking, he entered his room with the pile of brocade.Lao Chang's yard is too big. After he moved in, he prepared a wing room for Zhao Xuejun to live in.Zhao Xuejun was naturally willing, so he moved all his things here.
Lao Chang looked at Zhao Xuejun carefully inlaying brocades on the wall with his hands behind his back, and kept praising: "Not bad, not bad. Young people should be colorful! They should be dazzling! This flower is big, tsk tsk! Pink... ..."
Zhao Xuejun turned back depressed and said: "Godfather, who provoked you, I bought it for you! As for the house, I will clean it up tomorrow. There are a few frames that are broken. I will find someone to replace them and bring them back. You can pick whatever you want."
Lao Chang turned around with a smile and continued to look at his pot of meat. Zhao Xuejun went to the kitchen to take a bowl and sat on a wooden pier to wait.
"I'm staying here tonight."
Lao Chang raised his eyes and looked at him: "Why, your father and your mother are not at home?"
Zhao Xuejun nodded: "Well...Godfather, I spent more than 200 yuan in the handicraft factory today, and I said you gave it to me."
Your mother will hate me more and more in the future. "Old Chang stabbed the meat with chopsticks, took a piece and gave it to Zhao Xuejun: "Eat, eat and see. "
Zhao Xuejun exhaled hehehehe, chewing the piece of meat: "My mother...has hated you now too, huh...after a while...Godfather, your leaders and people have come to our school."
Lao Chang didn't say a word, went into the room and took out a popular movie and went out to read it.During this time, someone from abroad wrote a letter to the province to find someone, and after searching, they finally found Lao Chang.Lao Chang took the letter and asked the leader to return it without opening the cover.The leader has been doing work and said that the hat has been taken off early, so I told Lao Chang not to worry.The old man often said that he had no worries, he just didn't know each other.
With the return of the first letter, the second letter, and the third letter, recently, I heard that people have found them, and it is said that they live in Wanlin Hotel.Zhao Xuejun didn't know what kind of entanglement the godfather had with the foreigner, and he didn't ask if the godfather didn't tell.He just hates what the leader of his godfather said, what does it mean to put the overall situation first?
"Godfather."
"Um……"
"If you want to see me, you can see me. If you don't want to see me, you can't see us. If you can't do it, you can resign. In fact, you don't work at all. Besides, you get paid by the state. I've always felt sorry for you...I mean, You stay at home, you don’t have to worry about food and drink anyway. Don’t force yourself, if you don’t want to, no one can force you. Don’t worry about anyone, it’s your own business, I mean, you have to be happy... "
"Xuejun! Xuejun! Open the door! I know you are inside!" Someone shouted outside the yard.Zhao Xuejun walked to the door, opened the lock and looked at the big brother outside.
"Our dad is back. At home, Uncle Wang Lu is here. I'm going to buy pig tails. My dad likes this. You go back quickly!" Zhao Xuebing said a few words, turned around and pedaled away.
Zhao Xuejun looked happy, went back to the house and found a new pot, went to the yard, put a rag and poured a large pot of stew into the pot, always aggrieved: "When your father comes back, you will rob My dinner, there is a difference between what you do and what you do, right?"
"You pull it down quickly, what are you doing changing clothes?" Zhao Xuejun sneered at the godfather who was putting on his shirt with a look of contempt.
Zhao Xuejun returned home, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw Wang Xi and Wang Rui chatting with Zhao Xuewen at the door.Wang Rui was still chattering, and Wang Xi looked a little unhappy.
Pour a large pot of meat into the stew prepared by Aunt Gaixia, Zhao Xuejun turned around and picked a handful of shallots while picking the meat, and said to Aunt Gaixia who was quietly holding the bowl to pick the meat from the pot: "Gu, we It’s rare to come back.”
Putting down the bowl embarrassingly, Aunt Gaixia smiled awkwardly: "I'll give it to your mother, and send some to the factory." After she finished speaking, she looked at the huge pile of braised pork, and she clicked her mouth with some reluctance: "There is no such thing as New Year's Eve." so."
Zhao Xuejun made a spring onion mixed with beans.I went to the door and bought a catty of mushrooms wrapped in eggs. With Aunt Gaixia's distressed expression, I fried them in lard and brought them to the front yard together with stewed vegetables.
By the small table in the front yard, there is a pig's tail, and the three adults have already drank it.When he came, Uncle Wang Lu brought some loose wine.Zhao Xuejun arranged the dishes with a smile, squinted his eyes and smiled at his father who was looking at him and said, "Dad, the bottle of Fenjiu in your box will grow hair."
Wang Lu laughed loudly: "Go and get it, go and get it. Your dad is so picky."
Zhao Jianguo looked embarrassed, and coughed: "What are you talking about, I forgot, forgot! Go get it, little brat, I can't show him anything."
Zhao Xuejun ran to the back room in a hurry, filled several bowls of rice, filled the bowls with stewed vegetables, and asked his eldest brother Wang Xi and the others to come in to eat, but he was busy getting Fen wine, pouring wine, pretending to be diligent, and sitting on the table. I couldn't do without him, so I made a pony and put it on the mat to eat with vegetables.Zhao Jianguo didn't expose him, but just hit him on the head with chopsticks.
"Wang Lu, are you sure?" Zhao Jianguo put down his wine glass, ate a mouthful of mushrooms and asked Wang Lu.
Uncle Wang Lu forced a smile, and his expression was not happy: "Hey... yes, the general trend is the general trend, and the military order is like a mountain. After the tunnel in your county is completed, it is probably almost time."
"Military orders are like mountains, you are a talent, don't worry about it." Old Chang toasted Wang Lu.
Zhao Xuejun finally understood why Wang Xi had been unhappy all this time.Wang Xi was born and grew up in the army, talking about his father.Wang Lu always hoped that his father could become a general.The children of the army are the young saplings attached to the army.When these children grow up, most of them will take over the steel guns of their elders, and one by one they will become the second and third generation soldiers.Many children don't fit in well when they go to other places, and they even play differently from local children.Zhao Xuejun felt that Wang Xi was just insecure.
"Come...Wang Lu, Jiangguan County. Let's have a big fight." Zhao Jianguo helped Wang Luman serve wine.
Wang Lu picked it up and took a sip, then waved his hands: "My uncle at home has written a long time ago, telling us to go back quickly. The house in my hometown has been collapsed for many years. You all know that my hometown, Guangzhou, is opening up and invigorating. Hey, Seeing you vigorously doing something for your hometown, don’t I feel jealous? It’s time to go back. My uncle said that people who went to Nanyang have come back to find their roots, and I should go back too.”
"Since... the Western Han Dynasty, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and then the late Ming and early Qing. People who went to Nanyang brought the culture and customs out of their homeland. Going to Nanyang is meaningful. Although later, they went to the east of the pass and went to the west. But... the meaning of going to Nanyang is not just for a bite. Meals. People live with water. Now that the country’s economy is doing well, yours is a port, and there are indeed more opportunities than those in the interior. Wang Lu, maybe your chances will be greater than Jianguo’s in the future.” Lao Chang picked up a piece I ate the mushrooms, said with chopsticks, and drew a coastal curve.
"Old Chang has always thought farther than us. You know that it was eight lifetimes ago to go to Nanyang. Before...he..." Wang Lu paused for a while, then said with a relieved smile: "Actually, my Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, my biological father took my family to Nanyang to seek relatives. I... am not the current father's son."
The brothers Wang Xi, who were squatting on the side eating lunch, were stunned. They raised their heads and looked at their father eagerly.
"It's a big hat to have overseas ties. I've been terrified all these years. Fortunately, my adoptive father is tight-lipped and has never told anyone. I was born fifteen days ago, and caught up with the famine... That's the custom in our place, and I can't survive. I took my family to Nanyang to live. The ancestors left, the sons left...the grandsons left.
My father was afraid that I would not be able to bear the turbulence at sea, so he gave me to my current father.They didn't expect to come back.Once you walk, you will be liberated...the sea route will be cut off.Only the uncle knows about this.I was a soldier... I have been away from home for many years, and I dare not go back, for fear of being known.All these years, I have been worried and fearful, it is really uneasy, hey...it is not filial! "Wang Lu let go of his thoughts and drank several cups in a row.
"You go home and wait, maybe your biological father will come." Lao Chang comforted him, feeling a lot of feelings himself.
Wang Lu shook his head with a smile: "Who's family doesn't have eight or nine cubs. They raised me for fifteen days, and I weighed more than four catties, not as big as a pig's hind leg. Who would have feelings for a piece of pork? There are Falling in love? Desires are in vain... I think too much, I think too much..."
"Hey! It's hard to leave our homeland, so it's right to go back. My husband...it's the same there. It's all about building a country and a hometown. Go back! We're still brothers when we go back." Zhao Jianguo slapped his thigh, feeling melancholy and relieved!
"Why, kick me out now, I'm leaving, who will pave the way for you to open mountains in Jiangguan County?" Wang Lu smiled, with a face full of teasing.
Zhao Jianguo pursed his lips and filled him with a large glass, and raised his hands to toast him.
The adults were drinking, but Zhao Xuejun stood up slowly. He came to sit next to Wang Xi and watched him eat every mouthful.He picked up a piece of red meat and put it into Wang Xi's bowl, squinting his eyes and smiling at him: "Eat it."
Looking at it, the sky was getting dark, and Gao Guoyuan, who had lived in the city for two days, was a little anxious. He sipped his cigarette, turned his face and asked Zhao Xuejun: "San'er, is your mother really not at home?"
Zhao Xuejun read the textbook by the street lamp, and nodded without looking up: "I'm really not here, I went to Wuhan."
"Then when will you be back?" Gao Guoyuan asked.
"One month." Zhao Xuejun replied.
"Then... what about your father?" Gao Guoyuan asked again.
"My dad is next month too." Zhao Xuejun replied.
Gao Guoyuan stood up, still not believing him, but he didn't dare to ask further, for fear that Zhao Xuejun would be like those two big boys, who would walk in the door as if he didn't know him without saying a word when he saw him.Xuejun is the only one with a good attitude in the family.Back then, because of the military affairs, Lao Gao's family offended Lao Zhao's family severely.

"Uncle." Zhao Xuejun called Gao Guoyuan who was about to leave.
Gao Guoyuan turned around and looked at his nephew: "What?"
"You'd better...don't come, I mean, come again in a few years, my mother will be angry." Zhao Xuejun said.

Lao Chang turned around with a smile and continued to look at his pot of meat. Zhao Xuejun went to the kitchen to take a bowl and sat on a wooden pier to wait.
"I'm staying here tonight."
Lao Chang raised his eyes and looked at him: "Why, your father and your mother are not at home?"
Zhao Xuejun nodded: "Well...Godfather, I spent more than 200 yuan in the handicraft factory today, and I said you gave it to me."
Your mother will hate me more and more in the future. "Old Chang stabbed the meat with chopsticks, took a piece and gave it to Zhao Xuejun: "Eat, eat and see. "
Zhao Xuejun exhaled hehehehe, chewing the piece of meat: "My mother...has hated you now too, huh...after a while...Godfather, your leaders and people have come to our school."
Lao Chang didn't say a word, went into the room and took out a popular movie and went out to read it.During this time, someone from abroad wrote a letter to the province to find someone, and after searching, they finally found Lao Chang.Lao Chang took the letter and asked the leader to return it without opening the cover.The leader has been doing work and said that the hat has been taken off early, so I told Lao Chang not to worry.The old man often said that he had no worries, he just didn't know each other.
With the return of the first letter, the second letter, and the third letter, recently, I heard that people have found them, and it is said that they live in Wanlin Hotel.Zhao Xuejun didn't know what kind of entanglement the godfather had with the foreigner, and he didn't ask if the godfather didn't tell.He just hates what the leader of his godfather said, what does it mean to put the overall situation first?
"Godfather."
"Um……"
"If you want to see me, you can see me. If you don't want to see me, you can't see us. If you can't do it, you can resign. In fact, you don't work at all. Besides, you get paid by the state. I've always felt sorry for you...I mean, You stay at home, you don’t have to worry about food and drink anyway. Don’t force yourself, if you don’t want to, no one can force you. Don’t worry about anyone, it’s your own business, I mean, you have to be happy... "
"Xuejun! Xuejun! Open the door! I know you are inside!" Someone shouted outside the yard.Zhao Xuejun walked to the door, opened the lock and looked at the big brother outside.
"Our dad is back. At home, Uncle Wang Lu is here. I'm going to buy pig tails. My dad likes this. You go back quickly!" Zhao Xuebing said a few words, turned around and pedaled away.
Zhao Xuejun looked happy, went back to the house and found a new pot, went to the yard, put a rag and poured a large pot of stew into the pot, always aggrieved: "When your father comes back, you will rob My dinner, there is a difference between what you do and what you do, right?"
"You pull it down quickly, what are you doing changing clothes?" Zhao Xuejun sneered at the godfather who was putting on his shirt with a look of contempt.
Zhao Xuejun returned home, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw Wang Xi and Wang Rui chatting with Zhao Xuewen at the door.Wang Rui was still chattering, and Wang Xi looked a little unhappy.
Pour a large pot of meat into the stew prepared by Aunt Gaixia, Zhao Xuejun turned around and picked a handful of shallots while picking the meat, and said to Aunt Gaixia who was quietly holding the bowl to pick the meat from the pot: "Gu, we It’s rare to come back.”
Putting down the bowl embarrassingly, Aunt Gaixia smiled awkwardly: "I'll give it to your mother, and send some to the factory." After she finished speaking, she looked at the huge pile of braised pork, and she clicked her mouth with some reluctance: "There is no such thing as New Year's Eve." so."
Zhao Xuejun made a spring onion mixed with beans.I went to the door and bought a catty of mushrooms wrapped in eggs. With Aunt Gaixia's distressed expression, I fried them in lard and brought them to the front yard together with stewed vegetables.
By the small table in the front yard, there is a pig's tail, and the three adults have already drank it.When he came, Uncle Wang Lu brought some loose wine.Zhao Xuejun arranged the dishes with a smile, squinted his eyes and smiled at his father who was looking at him and said, "Dad, the bottle of Fenjiu in your box will grow hair."
Wang Lu laughed loudly: "Go and get it, go and get it. Your dad is so picky."
Zhao Jianguo looked embarrassed, and coughed: "What are you talking about, I forgot, forgot! Go get it, little brat, I can't show him anything."
Zhao Xuejun ran to the back room in a hurry, filled several bowls of rice, filled the bowls with stewed vegetables, and asked his eldest brother Wang Xi and the others to come in to eat, but he was busy getting Fen wine, pouring wine, pretending to be diligent, and sitting on the table. I couldn't do without him, so I made a pony and put it on the mat to eat with vegetables.Zhao Jianguo didn't expose him, but just hit him on the head with chopsticks.
"Wang Lu, are you sure?" Zhao Jianguo put down his wine glass, ate a mouthful of mushrooms and asked Wang Lu.
Uncle Wang Lu forced a smile, and his expression was not happy: "Hey... yes, the general trend is the general trend, and the military order is like a mountain. After the tunnel in your county is completed, it is probably almost time."
"Military orders are like mountains, you are a talent, don't worry about it." Old Chang toasted Wang Lu.
Zhao Xuejun finally understood why Wang Xi had been unhappy all this time.Wang Xi was born and grew up in the army, talking about his father.Wang Lu always hoped that his father could become a general.The children of the army are the young saplings attached to the army.When these children grow up, most of them will take over the steel guns of their elders, and one by one they will become the second and third generation soldiers.Many children don't fit in well when they go to other places, and they even play differently from local children.Zhao Xuejun felt that Wang Xi was just insecure.
"Come...Wang Lu, Jiangguan County. Let's have a big fight." Zhao Jianguo helped Wang Luman serve wine.
Wang Lu picked it up and took a sip, then waved his hands: "My uncle at home has written a long time ago, telling us to go back quickly. The house in my hometown has been collapsed for many years. You all know that my hometown, Guangzhou, is opening up and invigorating. Hey, Seeing you vigorously doing something for your hometown, don’t I feel jealous? It’s time to go back. My uncle said that people who went to Nanyang have come back to find their roots, and I should go back too.”
"Since... the Western Han Dynasty, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and then the late Ming and early Qing. People who went to Nanyang brought the culture and customs out of their homeland. Going to Nanyang is meaningful. Although later, they went to the east of the pass and went to the west. But... the meaning of going to Nanyang is not just for a bite. Meals. People live with water. Now that the country’s economy is doing well, yours is a port, and there are indeed more opportunities than those in the interior. Wang Lu, maybe your chances will be greater than Jianguo’s in the future.” Lao Chang picked up a piece I ate the mushrooms, said with chopsticks, and drew a coastal curve.
"Old Chang has always thought farther than us. You know that it was eight lifetimes ago to go to Nanyang. Before...he..." Wang Lu paused for a while, then said with a relieved smile: "Actually, my Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, my biological father took my family to Nanyang to seek relatives. I... am not the current father's son."
The brothers Wang Xi, who were squatting on the side eating lunch, were stunned. They raised their heads and looked at their father eagerly.
"It's a big hat to have overseas ties. I've been terrified all these years. Fortunately, my adoptive father is tight-lipped and has never told anyone. I was born fifteen days ago, and caught up with the famine... That's the custom in our place, and I can't survive. I took my family to Nanyang to live. The ancestors left, the sons left...the grandsons left.
My father was afraid that I would not be able to bear the turbulence at sea, so he gave me to my current father.They didn't expect to come back.Once you walk, you will be liberated...the sea route will be cut off.Only the uncle knows about this.I was a soldier... I have been away from home for many years, and I dare not go back, for fear of being known.All these years, I have been worried and fearful, it is really uneasy, hey...it is not filial! "Wang Lu let go of his thoughts and drank several cups in a row.
"You go home and wait, maybe your biological father will come." Lao Chang comforted him, feeling a lot of feelings himself.
Wang Lu shook his head with a smile: "Who's family doesn't have eight or nine cubs. They raised me for fifteen days, and I weighed more than four catties, not as big as a pig's hind leg. Who would have feelings for a piece of pork? There are Falling in love? Desires are in vain... I think too much, I think too much..."
"Hey! It's hard to leave our homeland, so it's right to go back. My husband...it's the same there. It's all about building a country and a hometown. Go back! We're still brothers when we go back." Zhao Jianguo slapped his thigh, feeling melancholy and relieved!
"Why, kick me out now, I'm leaving, who will pave the way for you to open mountains in Jiangguan County?" Wang Lu smiled, with a face full of teasing.
Zhao Jianguo pursed his lips and filled him with a large glass, and raised his hands to toast him.
The adults were drinking, but Zhao Xuejun stood up slowly. He came to sit next to Wang Xi and watched him eat every mouthful.He picked up a piece of red meat and put it into Wang Xi's bowl, squinting his eyes and smiling at him: "Eat it."
