Rebirth Night Talk

After Lao Chang got angry for no reason that day, for a long time, no one came to the house again.His small courtyard, where people come and go, is suddenly terribly silent. Only Zhao Xuejun and Wang Xi, who live here, come and go quietly every day.

At noon that day, Zhao Xuejun came back from Xiaoli Brick Factory to pack Wang Xi's luggage.I often sit alone in the yard watching the goldfish I bought in the new tank and drinking.

"I'm just a bit wordy, isn't it wrong to teach them? Ten years of turmoil and I was not allowed to speak, so isn't it called talking now?" Lao Chang muttered, looking at the goldfish, as if he was talking to the goldfish to complain.

Zhao Xuejun wiped the window sill with a rag, and smiled while wiping: "In the past, people in the younger generation sat down obediently and listened to the lesson. Then my dad and I, Uncle Song, just listened to what others said. Your mouth is the righteousness of the country. A hundred years of honor and disgrace, you talk too much, can others listen to it? Everyone sees things differently in the world, so it can’t be said that what you say is right. Rebuttal, I’m afraid you don’t like to listen to anger, so don’t refute. People feel uncomfortable. Let me talk about this, you, you should just talk to me at home, I love to listen, and I can listen to it, calm down..."

Lao Chang sighed, picked up the small jug and went into the room, humming and singing clappers inside.His tone showed helplessness and grievance, but Zhao Xuejun didn't try to coax him.In the past few years, everyone has been hanging around him, and his temper has become more and more twisted, and he often has the temper of some scholars. When others say something, he must say something, not that what he said is wrong.Every day he opens his mouth to teach people, to criticize, or to testify, forget it... let's not talk, don't leave him alone, he will offend everyone in front of and behind the street.You grab the vegetable seller every day and talk about international influence, can they not bother you?

After Zhao Xuejun cleaned the glass, he asked Wang Xi to go to Jinxin Market together.During this period of time, the Jinxin market was in turmoil. Affected by the rush to buy, many stores were sold out of stock and could not get in, so they were temporarily closed.Gao Juzi was sitting in the office with an abacus crackling to settle the accounts. Seeing his son coming in, he took out a bundle from the cabinet and said to him, "You go to No. [-] Middle School to see Yueyue next month. I heard from them that Yueyue has gone back."

Zhao Xuejun took the burden, nodded, and turned to go out. Gao Juzi asked behind him, "Did Liangliang look for you?"

"No, their teacher said, he never came." Zhao Xuejun sighed, turned and left.

Wang Xi rode a bicycle with Zhao Xuejun to No. [-] Middle School. When they arrived at the school, they inquired. Tan Yueyue was not at school, so the two of them had no choice but to wait at the door of their dormitory. When it was dark, Tan Yueyue came back from outside the school. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the dormitory, he was taken aback when he saw Zhao Xuejun.

"Junjun?" Tan Yueyue didn't expect that someone from the second aunt's house would come to see her.

"Sister, when my mother heard that you were back, she asked me to come and see you. These are the clothes she arranged for you."

Tan Yueyue took the bag, opened it and turned it over a few times with a wry smile: "Junjun, you can take this clothes back to the second aunt, I don't have much chance to wear it. By the way, don't come to me in the future. I wrote a withdrawal application today. The school Already approved."

"Ah? Quit school? Why? It's not the tuition fee, is everything exempted?" Zhao Xuejun asked in surprise.

Tan Yueyue didn't show any sad expression, but showed a relieved smile: "The family is big and small, my mother is gone, and my father will sue every day. He goes to the province to get food, supplies, That's not money. I'm a girl, and I'm old enough to see that I'm good enough to go to high school. I want to go to the south to work and go with my sister from the same town... By the way, you take this and give it to the second aunt. Said, my mother is sorry for her. Junjun, you don’t hate your aunt, do you? Don’t hate, your aunt is gone, if you hate, you are at a disadvantage.”

Zhao Xuejun stood there, not knowing how to persuade him.Tan Yueyue had finished college in her previous life, so she was not close to her aunt's relatives.This sister, who graduated from a first-class university in Zhejiang, never returned to her hometown for many years.In her previous life, she was a well-known editor of a magazine, a new urban woman.Zhao Xuejun remembered that when her grandma passed away, she was wearing a beige windbreaker, standing outside the village, crying for her grandma.She didn't cry loudly, but stood silently under the locust tree, wiping her tears with a small handkerchief in a gentle manner, looking very elegant.

Now, she is going to go out to work and become a foreign girl in the southern city.Zhao Xuejun was in a daze, and he didn't feel that he was being dragged away by Wang Xi.

That night, Zhao Xuejun returned to his home and had dinner with his parents. At the dinner table, he said to Gao Juzi: "Mom, Sister Yueyue is not going to school anymore and wants to go to the south to work."

"Huh? Yueyue? Why doesn't he go to school?" Gao Juzi was very surprised.

Zhao Xuejun pursed his lips, there is no way to explain this matter, and the family can't help, Tan Xiaokang is now in charge of the Tan family.

"Didn't I send some money over? Didn't you tell her that as long as she wants to study, Second Aunt can afford it."

Zhao Xuejun nodded, thought for a moment, took out a sealed envelope from his pocket and handed it to Gao Juzi: "Sister Yueyue called for you."

"What is it?"

"do not know!"

Gao Juzi opened the envelope, and shook out a piece of paper with her mouth facing down. She picked it up and looked at it for less than ten seconds, then burst into tears, and ran out wearing a home vest.

"Hey... Tangerine! Tangerine! What are you doing, why are you crying... Come back, what's the matter?" Zhao Jianguo grabbed his wife and dragged him back to the house.This orange is also wearing a pair of big flowered underpants made by Aunt Gaixia herself.

Zhao Xuejun picked up the piece of paper, glanced at it, and was also a little moved.This is an IOU, an IOU of five hundred yuan.The borrower is Gao Apple's five children, and each child signed his name and pressed the red seal of his finger.The only name not on it is Tan Xiaokang, the father of these children.

Gao Juzi got dressed in a hurry and pushed the car out. Zhao Jianguo was afraid that something would happen to her, so he hurriedly pushed the car over.

In the middle of the night that night, Gao Juzi came back crying. While crying, she blamed herself for not being a second aunt. She could help Wang Lu's children eat and drink, but she lost her sister's child.Only then did Zhao Xuejun know that Tan Yueyue and Tan Liangliang had dropped out of school together. On the night he went to deliver the clothes, the two had already left the city.

Zhao Jianguo found some contacts to inquire, and the leader who took the country sisters out to work was a decent person, so he was a little relieved.The thing has already happened, and now they are looking for it. Guangzhou is so big and there are thousands of migrant girls. They have no choice but to wait until the end of the year when they come back.

On August 25th, the Zhao family and Lao Chang sent Wang Xi to the train station together.

Wang Xi was very silent all the way, just carrying his luggage and following Zhao Jianguo silently.Zhao Jianguo handed him the train ticket, put the prepared two hundred yuan into his pocket for him, and told him over and over again that those who are away from home should be careful in everything, and don't push yourself out in case of trouble.Gao Juzi has been silent during this time, because of her sister's child, she has been unable to make a turn.Even he was a little cold towards Wang Xi.

After getting on the train, Wang Xi put his luggage away and stuck his head out of the carriage. After holding back for a long time, he finally said to Zhao Xuejun, "Would you still write to me?"

Zhao Xuejun smiled and nodded: "Yes."

"The weather is going to change, don't go to the brick factory anymore, and be careful of coughing." Wang Xi stuttered.

"Hey, I will care about people. My dad has been busy, but I haven't seen you expressing his gratitude." Zhao Xuebing teased from behind.

The train moved slowly, Wang Xi was in a daze at first, and then he suddenly yelled at Zhao Jianguo and Lao Chang: "Dad! I'm leaving..."

The voice of those words could not be dissipated on the train station platform for a long time, and when everyone realized it, Wang Xi had followed the train to a distant city and walked into his new life.

Zhao Jianguo was stunned for a while and Lao Chang looked at each other, and then the eyeballs of both of them were a little wet, and they said nothing: "This... this dead boy."

After Wang Xi left, Zhao Xuejun returned to live at home.Orange mother has been in a very bad mood for the past few days, but this time she didn't nag or say anything, but when she was free, she just stared at the IOU in a daze.

That evening, Gao Juzi was in a hurry to take inventory at Jinxin Market. Zhao Xuejun rushed to the warehouse on his bicycle, and shouted excitedly, "Mom...Mom, my big brother is back! My big brother is back !"

Gao Juzi was in a hurry and almost didn't go down the ladder. She got off the ladder in a hurry, the goods were not ordered, and the warehouse door was not locked. She pushed the car and went home for a lifeless ride. Before entering the door, I shouted: "Xuewen, Xuewen..."

Zhao Xuewen, who was washing his hair in the kitchen, quickly responded, and ran out with foamy hair: "Mom, mom!"

Then the mother and son hugged each other, Gao Juzi yelled curses, and tried to force the family law, Zhao Xuewen smiled and let his old mother twist.

"It's been a year, are you still willing to come back?"

"Isn't it summer vacation? I'm back. Mom, don't be angry. I miss you so much. I miss our Shanxi noodles and vinegar every day. You don't even know that the vinegar in our cafeteria is prepared for me alone... "

Zhao Xuejun ran in from the outside with a blushing face. As soon as he came in, he saw his elder brother chatting with his mother with white foam on his head. Without saying a word, he rushed up and said, "Brother!"

Zhao Xuewen laughed and turned around with his younger brother behind his back, looked at Zhao Xuebing who had been standing at the base of the wall, pursing his lips happily and said with a smile, "Do you want to hug me, too?"

"Cut." Zhao Xuebing sneered back with a trace of jealousy and admiration for his brother.And Zhao Xuejun turned into a follower directly, he followed his brother, watched him wash his hair, watched him change his army shirt, watched him face the mirror, holding a razor, and shaving his beard.

The elder brother is taller, handsomer, really handsome.Thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a resolute face are not counted, but the softness unique to future doctors has added a lot of warmth to him.No matter how he looked at it, he didn't think it was enough, he just felt that he should stick to his brother.

When Zhao Jianguo came home at night, he couldn't help sighing when he saw his son. During dinner, he made an exception and allowed his son to drink two glasses of wine in front of him.

That night, the weather was a bit gloomy, but this did not hinder the Zhao brothers' desire to go to the roof.As soon as the dinner was over, Zhao Xuewen, Zhao Xuebing, and Zhao Xuejun climbed onto the roof together. They lay there leaning on the slope of the roof and talking about what happened at home and at school.

"I remember when I went back to my grandma's house when I was a child, my aunt gave me dates to eat with a bamboo pole. I stood under the tree and saw so many big dates falling from the tree, thinking that my aunt was amazing. Hey, life is impermanent, So, there is nothing wrong with being a doctor who saves the world and the people." Zhao Xuewen said with a sigh.

"Forget it, don't talk about it, brother, you don't know. My uncle, dressed in white when he has nothing to do, holding a big newspaper with the word "wronged", kneeling at the gate of the government, demanding justice. If it wasn't for his Even our aunt can’t die because of the burden. You don’t know, my mother said, he’s addicted to filing complaints now, and enters the province on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year. He goes to the city government every Monday, and goes to the township government on weekdays. He has to be counted, our dad has to say hello to him every day when he goes to work, 'Hey, Xiaokang, you are here'. You said how embarrassing our dad is."

"Don't talk about that, brother, tell me about your time at school." Zhao Xuejun's face was full of little stars.

Zhao Xuewen pursed his lips and said happily: "What is there to say about the school? The male students in our medical school are all sluggish. They play basketball and lose in basketball. They lose in training. They can't sing in singing as well as those of the field troops. I really want to graduate early , get to work early."

"If you don't believe me, tell me, we've been holding back for a year..." Zhao Xuewen rolled over like he was a child.

"What are you talking about? Say, the school is different from home. You have to do morning exercises every day, and the quilt has to be folded squarely? You say the canteen is the same throughout the year? There is nothing to say... Oh, yes, I met Gu Xia is gone, she is in the same city as me now."

"Hey?!" Zhao Xuejun shuddered, turned over and sat up: "Are you two together? Sister and brother are in love?"

"What are you talking about? Our school doesn't allow you to fall in love. Besides, she works as an operator in the crew of the field army. I'm just an ordinary student. We don't get along. At the beginning of this year, we were training with the army. That night Lianhuan, the two of us collaborated on "Song of the Grassland", and we met at that time... Hey, it's like a dream, her big braids are completely invisible."

"Brother, when will your braid addiction be cured?" Zhao Xuejun lay down again disappointed.

Zhao Xuewen hummed a song softly in his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's no good, I think, I will remember those two big braids in my life. They are black and black... Tell me about you?"

"Me, what can I say, I want to walk into your path immediately and enter the countdown to the college entrance examination. My mother caught me and wanted to stew pig brains one by one and stuff them in my brain to make up for me. We Dad wanted me to go to the military academy. I can't bear the constraints, I want to major in political economy, but my dad disagrees, saying that I should be a soldier. Cut..."

Zhao Xuebing complained, with an inexplicable gleam in his eyes.

Zhao Xuejun looked at the two brothers who had changed with a smile, and felt that his heart was full of sweetness, very happy, indescribably happy.

"Student army."

"Ok?"

"What about you? You're going to high school too, so you won't have any ideas in the future, and no little girl will like you?" Zhao Xuewen teased his little brother.

Zhao Xuejun turned over and lay down, held back for a long time and said: "The bottom one in the class, what girl likes me?"

Chichi laughter came from around him, the louder the laughter, the louder Zhao Xuejun said, "Stop laughing!"

The laughter grew louder over there.

"Let me tell you, starting tomorrow, I will drink milk and hang up the horizontal bar. Wait, wait until I grow taller...wait..."

Zhao Xuejun has a look of dismay, he has been stunted all his life, he is so big and hasn't grown yet, the second brother's Adam's apple has come out, he is still tender and white, petite and exquisite, now who said, the white tofu in No. [-] middle school .Don't ask, that's him.This nickname is not as good as Zhao Mianqiu.The most annoying thing is that before the school holiday this year, a brother with glasses from another school blocked him on the road and insisted on having sex with him.Well, there is something wrong with him in his bones, but the other party is courting a girl, that's not for him!

The laughter on the roof was getting louder and louder. What Gao Juzi listened to was Lao Huai's comfort. He really felt that his life had reached its peak?The children were all healthy and lovely, what more could she ask for.Just as she was sighing, Zhao Jianguo's black hands stretched out from her side: "Mother, don't be too emotional. What about your son, he can't run away. Come here, let's hurry up, another little girl will be perfect."

Gao Juzi fell into her husband's arms and sneered: "I really want to give birth, but the question is, is your director of the National People's Congress quit?"

Zhao Jianguo smiled indifferently, he had seen through it during this time.Affected by the impact of the Jinxin market last time, his questions have been avoided by the higher-ups, and several opportunities have been inexplicably gone for strange reasons.The chance of promotion this time was lost because of Tan Xiaokang's problem.That Tan Xiaokang, every time he wanted to enter the leader's place, he used his banner: Zhao Jianguo and I are brothers-in-law...

Zhao Jianguo asked me to come to you...

Director Zhao said that he asked you to reimburse me for travel expenses...

Director Zhao is a relative of my family...

Zhao Jianguo never told his wife what Tan Xiaokang did. He knew that Gao Juzi had a small mind, and if he knew, he would have to work hard with Tan Xiaokang.Forget it, life is good, life is bad, isn't it?Compared with Gao Pingguo's family, he, Zhao Jianguo, dare not say anything bad...

The couple got bored for a while, and Zhao Jianguo stroked his wife's hair and said, "Orange, don't be reluctant to part with the house allocated above. When the boss comes back, let's decorate and tidy up and move in. The whole three No. Yard, our family has not moved.
