Rebirth Night Talk

Zhao Jianguo and his son got off the bus at Tianzhou Station in the middle of the night, and the middle-aged couple who were halfway on the bus said goodbye warmly at the window.Zhao Xuejun's expression was distorted as soon as he got out of the car, and his pale face was breathing heavily in the sultry air mixed with the smell of engine oil that is unique to railway stations.

Yesterday, the aunt opened Pandora's chatterbox as soon as she got in the car. She had to describe everything from the time she bought the soft sleeper ticket to where her family lives now, the house number, and the number of people in the family... until she traced her ancestors for eight generations.The aunt was very enthusiastic, and she kept giving food and drink, and even gave Zhao Xuejun a lot of fried soybeans with sugar.When going to bed at night, Zhao Jianguo asked Zhao Xuejun to give up the lower berth. The aunt still kept talking when she fell asleep. The fart in the middle of the night, the fart smell went up with the air, Zhao Xuejun was so unlucky, he spent the middle of the night with two pieces of toilet paper stuffed in his nose, and finally got out of the car alive.

The father and son looked at the train going away, heaved a long breath and then laughed, Zhao Jianguo sighed: "I thought your mother was just a talkative."

"Uncle..." Zhou Rui ran over from there and greeted him loudly with a smile.

When I arrived in a strange city, I got off the bus and was greeted by an acquaintance, that feeling was not so good.Zhao Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"The car is late, and it said it would arrive before midnight. No, why is it two hours late? Xiao Rui is in a hurry?" Zhao Jianguo was very happy to see his nephew. Although his nephew was dark, his temperament was mature and his movements were stretched. , with firm eyes, with the smell unique to successful people on TV.Zhao Jianguo couldn't be happier for his brother, but he just felt that the old Zhao's family was the best.

"It didn't take long, I was squatting in the car for a long time!" Zhou Rui bent down after finishing speaking, gathered the heaviest luggage belt into a ball with his left and right hands, slipped it up and walked out.Zhao Jianguo quickly snatched two more, one carrying the hand, and the other holding the box, and followed quickly.Zhao Xuejun looked left and right, and there was only one bag of Wanlin fruit left.

"Dad, let me come!" Zhao Xuejun chased after carrying the fruit and snatched it several times, but Zhao Jianguo stubbornly refused. "No, it's not heavy, you didn't sleep well... keep up, don't lose it." After Zhao Jianguo finished speaking, he stopped and told Zhao Xuejun to walk in front of him, and he followed with his heels.

Zhou Rui took Zhao Jianguo and his son out of the station, and they stopped in front of a brand new tool cart. Zhou Rui turned around and introduced: "Last week, I picked up three tool carts. of."

Zhao Jianguo was stunned. He had always known that Gao Juzi bought a car there, and Wanlin Sanxin bought two second-hand trucks and a tool cart.When he first found out that he had a car at home, Zhao Jianguo was terrified for a while, and tortured himself for half a year with the sinful thoughts of "I am a capitalist now"!Over the past year, he has gotten better, but he still opposes Gao Juzi buying a car.

"This business hasn't started yet! Isn't this a waste of money?" Zhao Jianguo looked at the brand-new car, and couldn't help but began to criticize again.

Zhou Rui smiled, opened the car door and put the luggage up. He put it away and said nonchalantly: "Uncle, this is nothing to us. When our shopping mall is built, we will form a team! My aunt said that the freight is expensive." For money, it’s better to use our own car. This car usually buys and delivers goods, and can do some work when it’s free. The money for this car will come back in a year at most! Come, get in the car, let’s eat first, and then go to rest , the hotel room has already been booked.”

At the entrance of the hotel, I had a simple meal of noodles with no vinegar but only spicy oil.Zhao Xuejun and Zhao Jianguo put down their bowls before they were full and said they didn't want to eat. Zhou Rui was very sorry, but it would be nice to have food in the middle of the night.

The hotel is decided by Gao Juzi, and the big suite costs more than 80 yuan a day.Zhao Jianguo asked about the price. Zhou Rui didn't dare to tell the truth this time, so he said 40 yuan a day. Zhao Jianguo wanted to take his son to Sanxin's construction site to live there. Isn't there a simple office there?But when he turned around and saw his younger son who looked tired and had some stomach discomfort, he held back and didn't nag.

Tianzhou is much larger than Wanlin City, and any city here is three times the area of ​​Wanlin City.In the past few years, the economy here has also been very noisy, and there is prosperity everywhere.Take this hotel as an example, the best hotels in Wanlin City are not of this class.The entire floor is covered with green carpets. When you open the suite, there is a dark beige carpet on the floor. There are elegant bedside lamps, telephones, and ordering signs beside the bed. There is a TV in the big bedroom and a TV in the small bedroom. , There are also fans and 24-hour uninterrupted hot water supply.

"The luxurious big room upstairs is two hundred and eighty a day, so I dare not tell the truth to my uncle. Auntie wants you to enjoy it for a few days, so please don't ask your uncle to ask at the front desk..." Zhou Rui opened the cabinet to put his luggage, While putting it aside, he quietly told Zhao Xuejun.Zhao Xuejun looked back at his father who was watching the night view of Tianzhou City and nodded: "I know, brother, I have caused you trouble."

Zhou Rui packed his luggage, stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Brat, you're promising, you're already in college!" After speaking, he took out the newly bought toiletries that he had prepared a long time ago, and put hot water in the bathroom.

The exhaustion of the whole day dissipated in the soaking in hot water, and the Zhao family father and son slept soundly that night.Early the next morning, if it wasn't for the wheels of the fast-paced city and the sound of horns blasting into the bedroom, they would have slept at least until ten o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Xuejun closed his eyes, and after a full hour of recuperating, he sat up reluctantly. He just walked out of the small bedroom with the washing tools, but found his father sitting on the window sill, smoking a cigarette. When I got to the carpet, I folded a cardboard box with yesterday's newspapers, and carefully knocked off the cigarette ash. While puffing out the clouds, my father had a pensive expression on his face.

"Dad?! What are you looking at?" Zhao Xuejun leaned over and looked out, but this room faced a newly built overpass.The constant traffic on the bridge and under the bridge was jammed together, moving slowly, and the sound of car horns was sent here in waves.

"I have been here with the army before. At that time... I felt that this place is very big, and I think Beijing is like this! Look, it has only been a few years, and I feel like I have come here for the first time. Going out... probably Getting lost."

Zhao Xuejun knew what his father was lamenting. He was lamenting Shanxi. As an inland city, Shanxi is not developing fast, especially in Wanlin. The annual financial allocation is so little. There are many projects that benefit the people that cannot be launched, especially road construction. I have been unable to keep up, my father is envious.

"I built a building in Guangzhou, one floor in three days, this enviable dad, would you like to sleep in a place where you get woken up by the car horn in the morning? Anyway, I don't want to." Zhao Xuejun didn't know how to comfort him. Father, maybe, my father hopes from the bottom of his heart that the old district can also be so good and develop so fast.

"That's true, our Wanlin is surrounded by mountains, and the air is very good! How can it be compared here? It's not comparable, it's not comparable!"

After Zhao Xuejun washed up, Zhou Rui had already arrived. He brought the millet rice and potato shreds made in the construction site cafeteria to the hotel. The Zhao family father and son, who had been hungry for a long time, were full this time.

There is still some time before the start of school, Zhao Jianguo and the others are here ahead of time, firstly, they want to have fun in Tianzhou City, secondly, Zhao Xuejun cannot do military training, so he needs to get a certificate from the hospital here, Zhao Jianguo counted the time It is very clear, three days for shopping, two days for the hospital, and two days for registration and resettlement, a total of one week.

Just like that, Zhou Rui hung up his camera, chatted and laughed with Zhao's father and son, and left the hotel. Before leaving the hotel, Zhao Jianguo even made a joke.When they got on the elevator, there was a blonde foreign girl in the elevator, who politely waved at Zhao Jianguo and the others with a friendly smile: "Hello!"

Zhao Jianguo suddenly became shy, his face flushed, and he refused to get on the elevator, embarrassing everyone on both sides.Zhou Rui and Zhao Xuejun forced Zhao Jianguo onto the elevator, and as soon as Zhao Jianguo entered, he shrank to a corner and looked at the wall!Perhaps, this was the first time in Zhao Jianguo's life that he came into contact with foreigners at such a small distance. He smelled the strong perfume in the air and couldn't help feeling dizzy for a while, thinking it was a dream.

The rest of the journey was pleasant: they went to many places of interest, and the tour guide Zhou Rui found was very good at communicating, his language was humorous and funny, and he had some professional skills.He talked about Tianzhou's history and Tianzhou's development along the way.Occasionally, he would tell some stories about the reforms of the leaders of the Tianzhou Municipal Party Committee. Zhao Jianguo liked to hear this, so he had a great time playing.

There are also unpleasant things: everything is money, you need to use the scenery made by local farmers to ask for money to take pictures, you need money to go to the toilet, and you need to tear the butt wipes into five pieces and sell them for [-] cents.Zhao Jianguo didn't like to drink, and felt gasped, so he took a water glass to the home of a fellow at the scenic spot to ask for it, and the fellow sold him a kettle of hot water for one yuan...

At first, Zhao Jianguo went to a scenic spot to ask about the price, but finally... he didn't ask any more and went all out.Play without asking.The more he plays, the happier he is, and he has the courage to swallow mountains and rivers. I am not short of money, and I also have the courage to celebrate the New Year.Zhao Xuejun watched his father slowly adjust himself with a smile. He knew that his father would change after going out this time.Look at the present, there are long queues at any scenic spot, and Chinese people who get rich first have the same courage to spend money as foreigners.

For Zhao Jianguo, you tell him a thousand times that the times have changed and you must make progress!Concepts must be updated!These are useless, you have to ask him to come out and take a look, and talk to him with facts, otherwise he can spend his whole life behind closed doors in Wanlin City, and the way he works is suitable for the 60s and [-]s.

Early in the morning on the fourth day after arriving in Tianzhou, Zhou Rui came to pick up Zhao Xuejun for a physical examination. Because he entrusted Tianzhou Grade A Hospital beforehand, he went to acquaintances and then went all the way to check up. It took a whole morning for the diagnosis result to come out. According to the explanation, everything is normal for Zhao Xuejun, but his physique is poor and he needs to exercise more.The Zhao family father and son didn't believe in this result, and couldn't accept it.Because Zhao Xuejun refused to go out when the weather was cold, he would have a cold, fever and sweat if he caught a cold.

"Let's go see a Chinese medicine doctor!" The acquaintance probably felt embarrassed, and took Zhao Jianguo and his son to the Chinese medicine department in the back building of the hospital, and found the old Chinese medicine doctor to get a pulse. This time the result was true, "After the car accident Qi stagnation and blood stasis".

The old Chinese doctor said that the child's vital organs and blood were damaged after a car accident, and some microvessels were distorted and stagnated. This kind of damage cannot be detected by Western medicine instruments.If there is a car accident, I will come to check it earlier, it is good to say, because the recovery ability of children is very strong.But now this disease can only be treated for a long time. Fortunately, he is not very old now. As long as he pays attention to recuperation and changes prescriptions flexibly according to the progress, he can still get better. As for how he can recover, he has no idea. Dare to guarantee.He said that as long as the patient cooperates well and does not hate taking Chinese medicine, he will try his best.He prescribed some medicine packs for removing blood stasis and told him to go back and soak his feet all year round, and he also prescribed a traditional Chinese medicine "Wuziquanlu Wan" for temporary maintenance. Seeing that he was an acquaintance, the old man gave him some prescriptions for food supplements.

It turned out that after he came out, the hospital also issued a certificate, so that Zhao Xuejun didn't have to go to military training.

Carrying a lot of traditional Chinese medicine and pills, the three of the Zhao family left the hospital. Zhao Jianguo felt guilty all the way. If his son had gone to the big hospital in the provincial capital earlier after the car accident, his health would not be in such a bad state. If he had worried about going to see it earlier The old Chinese doctor... Forget it, forget it, these years have been busy with political affairs, and his wife is away all the time, this is the responsibility of adults!

"Dad, people can suffer from all kinds of diseases when they eat whole grains, and those who don't have any diseases are inexplicably said to be gone, and I will be blessed if I survive a catastrophe. Look how good we are now, that's me The blessings brought..." Before he finished speaking, Zhao Jianguo yelled angrily: "Fart, your father would rather have nothing than his own child!" After he finished speaking, he thought for a while and added: "Your mother is too. Think so."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. Dad! You see, this thing happened now, and you regret that it happened too. I take my medicine well, take good care of myself, maybe I will check something next year It's gone, didn't the doctor say, I'm still young, and I'm still developing!"

Zhao Jianguo's expression slowly calmed down, but he continued to walk with the Chinese medicine in his hands.Looking behind his father, Zhao Xuejun really felt distressed. He didn't want to worry about his father, but he wanted to make his family happy.Looking at it now, my own body is still a hindrance to my father, and he himself has lived a lot of years, so why can't he look at himself?

Walking quickly, Zhao Xuejun put his arms around his father's shoulders on the street, and said in a sour voice: "Dad... don't worry, really, I have a feeling that I will be fine! Really, you want Believe me, my feeling is always accurate. If you are angry and regret every day like this, okay, I can’t get better, and you are sick again. We have something to solve, okay..."

"Hey, there is something to solve the problem, yes... solve the problem!" Zhao Jianguo said in a heavy tone.

Zhou Rui didn't speak all the way. When he was about to arrive at the hotel, he took Zhao Jianguo's arm and said, "Uncle, my project over there is finished. I watch Junjun take medicine every day and check every three months. Don't worry, here As for me, besides, it’s really impossible, so let’s stay at home and take care of it. We’re not short of those, if you’re like this, you won’t be able to take medicine, right?!”

Zhao Xuejun nodded again and again with a look of anticipation. Seeing that his son was worried, Zhao Jianguo forced some smiles and walked a few steps into the hotel, then turned to Zhao Xuejun and said, "This matter...don't let your mother know...at least, one year Later, after a year, the examination is almost done, and the treatment is better, then I will tell your mother!"

"Hey! That's right, my mother is talking about it." Zhao Xuejun had a rascally look on his face.

"Don't speak ill of the old man!" Zhao Jianguo reprimanded and walked inside.

That night, Zhao Jianguo quietly went out to buy a few pieces of cloth and needlework. He sat on the bed in the hotel and cut the fabric carefully with scissors, stitch by stitch to make a medicine bag for soaking his son's feet.

Zhao Xuejun rested his chin on both hands, watched silently until his eyes were wet, and said with a choked voice, "Dad, I will be your son in the next life, okay?"

Zhao Jianguo raised his head and stared at him, and said with a trace of anger: "Fart! I'm grateful! Haven't you heard the old story? When a rich man died, he asked someone to call home the debtor. The accountant said: I don’t have any money, I will be your father in the next life! The rich man was furious: Are you talking or farting? You owe me money and dare to take advantage of me!

The debtor said: Is there anything worse in this world than being a father?When the child is born, he takes care of his feces and piss. When the child grows up, he faces the loess and his back to the sky. He earns money for him to study. When the child grows up, he will build a house for him and marry a wife. Go live in a hut, and my son lives in a big house... Is there any worse business in this world than being a father?I have three sons now, do you think I was a cheap gambler in my previous life and owed a lot of famine? "

Zhao Xuejun was overjoyed and cried again. He wiped away his tears, raised his hand and swore, "Sure, we have made a deal, Dad. In the next life, I will be your father and you will be my son!"

Zhao Jianguo wanted to nod his head, but felt something was wrong. He grabbed a sewn medicine bag and threw it at Zhao Xuejun: "Get out! Little bastard!"

Zhao Xuejun pretended to be hurt and said "Aw!", rolled to the bathroom to wash his face, and wiped away his tears.

The day after that, the father and son stayed in the hotel quietly. They rarely communicated with each other. Most of the time they just sat together watching TV and waiting for meal time.

Finally, the time for registration came, and Zhao Jianguo took Zhao Xuejun to Tianzhou University early in the morning.After registering and paying the tuition, Zhao Jianguo did the thing he least wanted to do in his life.He bought two foreign cigarettes and some fruits and went to the teacher. He forced them to put them down and handed over the leave note. It was only after the teacher's face turned green that he was dragged away by Zhao Xuejun.

Zhao Xuejun and his son took the list, Zhou Rui carried the things, and went to Room 405, [-]th Floor, Building [-] of the student dormitory together.Zhao Jianguo inspected the surrounding environment carefully and felt quite satisfied.It looks like a high-end university with flowers and grass.Zhao Xuejun didn't know what his father was thinking, he just thought his father's behavior was very funny, he put his hands behind his back, and walked all the way... oh oh!oh?Um!Uh-huh!muttered in a low voice, with an undisguised envy and admiration for the university.

After rigorous investigation, Zhao Jianguo thought that the sixth floor where his son will live in the future is really good. The fourth floor is a place that is warm in winter and cool in summer. The corridor is also well-kept. Room 405 has good lighting and is far away from the toilet. .There is also a bathing place in the school, and it is open for boys every couple of days.The food in the cafeteria here is not expensive. Zhao Jianguo made the food himself, and after trying several things, it was all good. Besides, going to school is not for enjoyment!

Because they were the first batch of students to report, the 405 dormitory was still unoccupied, so Zhao's father and son stood in the lower bunk early and locked the cabinet.There were too many things at home, all seasons, Zhao Jianguo was afraid that Zhao Xuejun would lose sight of things, so he asked Zhou Rui to take all the temporarily useless things back to the construction site in Tianzhou.

Zhao Xuejun also stood at the entrance of the corridor and looked around the dormitory. He felt excited in his heart. This was a life he had never touched. In the old corridor paved with cement cement.He looked at it for a while and turned around to look at his father who was strenuously putting up the mosquito net, laying the mattress, and laying the sheets for him. A sense of happiness enveloped his whole body, and he had come here.

After Zhao Jianguo finished tidying up, he greeted his son with a hint of showing off: "Come here, look at your father's work, your father and I are still young!"

When Zhao Xuejun walked over, he couldn't help laughing, his father used this place as a military camp.The quilt was folded into tofu cubes, the sheets were covered with no creases, and the pillows looked like thicker flat wooden boards.

"Well, it's good! Dad, you're really good! Gai Minger, they came in, and they were going to be surprised. They thought they had entered the barracks!" Zhao Xuejun fawned, took his father's arm, locked the dormitory and went out.

That night, Zhao Jianguo drove back to Wanlin City overnight because he was reluctant to part with the 40 yuan.He didn't ask Zhao Xuejun to see him off, but just asked his son to stand at the school gate and watch him off. Zhao Xuejun didn't know how to describe the feeling of leaving his loved ones. At that moment, he really wanted to rush over and say to his father: Dad, take me away Bar!I want to go home!
