Independent Jiang Xue

When the palm treasure FM radio started to play the second half of "Laughing Forest in the Sky", the alleys and streets were already full of cars, and the flow formed the morning rush hour for commuting.Xue Xiaosong carried the tofu nao in the lunch box, and a bag of meatball buns and sesame biscuits just out of the box, and returned to his courtyard almost on time.

The three masters of the Xue family lived in a well-regulated one-entry courtyard house. The city government restored and restored the appearance of the old city, and this house was refurbished to benefit from it.At the entrance, the door pier tiles serve as a brick screen wall, inside the door is a canopy, fish tank and bird cage, and in the brick garden near the south wall, several plum trees are planted.On the flower shelf made of bluestone rollers, there is a row of spider plants, which are lush and green.

At this time, nephew Xue Changhua had already gone to the regiment by bicycle, and his son Xue Zhongze should have fallen asleep when he came back last night.

Changhua is the son of elder brother Xue Xiaosong, and Zhongze is the grandson of the first grandfather.Inherited Xue Xiaosong's mantle and learned how to rely on martial arts.Currently he is the leader of the martial arts team of the Beijing Opera Troupe.Perhaps because of practicing kung fu since childhood, Zhongze looks even more elegant and tall in comparison.This made Xue Xiaozheng not only open to his son's learning of a sect, but also felt joy in the unexpected relief.

After Xue Zhongze recovered, he didn't obey the assignment three times, and he didn't go back to his biological mother's stepfather's house, but resolutely stayed with Xue Xiaoping.This is more than what kind of treasure he gets, which makes Xue Xiaomei happy and content.

Put the sesame seed cakes in a rattan basket, open the lunch box to dry the tofu brain, the fresh aroma of the meat buns, and the burnt aroma of the sesame sesame seed cakes, mixed together and wafted.Xue Xiaozheng called his son's nickname into the west room: "Smile, get up and eat breakfast. Didn't you say yesterday that you want to eat sesame seed cakes with beef? Dad bought it for you. Get up quickly." He wrung out a towel and wiped his face, back and neck.After waiting for a long time without a response, Xue Xiaosong said in a calm voice but with a smile on his lips, "What a tall man, and he still sleeps late, this kid!"

After putting on the towel, he walked to the west room where his son lived, and stretched out his hand to open the door, but the room was empty.The quilt was not folded, but it was cold when I reached out to touch it.It seems that he went out early in the morning again.

Last year, Xue Zhongze set up a small booth in the electronic market with others, selling cameras, monitors and other monitoring equipment.I heard him talk about where an exhibition will be held recently.I guess he was busy running.

The old man doesn't understand such things, as long as he can see his eldest son every day, he is the happiest thing.If after a year or two, his son finds a good girl to marry, and no matter male or female, they will give him a grandson, Xue Xiaosong will feel that this life will be considered as a happy life after bitterness and sweetness.

The old man naturally made the bed for his son, opened the window of the room, and put the quilts of his son and nephew on the exercise rack in the yard to dry.After picking up and pounding, I made myself a cup of scented tea and put it on the rattan table under the canopy.He took off a palm-wide waistband and tied it around his waist. Gathering his breath, he picked up two flower gun shafts and played gun flower in the yard.

In the first two years, he often participated in the activities of sending operas to the countryside in the troupe, mainly on the front lines around Gyeonggi.The reason is very simple, Xue Zhongze was a soldier at that time, and often followed the team to run around the surrounding area.So Xue Xiaosong followed his son's whereabouts and took the opportunity to meet him.

Since his nephew joined the Beijing Opera Troupe, Xue Xiaoping has gradually faded out.Now that his health is not as good as before, he followed his nephew's advice and basically retreated at home, taking care of his apprentices, watching his body skills, and occasionally following the guards for a scene or two.I just want to wait until I'm 60 to retire.

All the colleagues in the troupe and the neighbors in the neighborhood know that the old man is a "drama bone".The ex-wife not only divorced him but also stole his son who was under one year old while he was being inspected in the labor reform farm.After overthrowing the Gang of Four, the old man returned to this place alone. Apart from his colleagues and friends in the Liyuan business, there were no other figures in the circle.

Xue Xiaozheng's only hobby outside of acting is planting plum trees.Every time the plum trees bloom in the cold winter of Sanjiu, you can always hear the powerful singing in the courtyard. Lu You's "Song of Plum Blossoms": Beside the broken bridge outside the post, the loneliness is open and there is no owner. It's already dusk. wind and rain.Unintentionally struggling for spring, once a group of fragrances are jealous, scattered into mud and dust, only the fragrance remains the same.

Regarding that marriage, it was thought that it was just left in the dust, and no one thought that there would be a day when the dead would be brought back to life.

Xue Xiaosong was also confused afterwards, but he didn't reveal it to anyone.The last time he teased his son, he put his son's little hand on his face and let the child touch it.The son smiled and twisted Xiaosao's buttocks, lying on his father's chest, touching his father's eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, and even the bones under the flesh; in the end, he urinated all over his father...

However, when the son came back many years later, the first thing he did was to close his eyes and touch his father's head and face with both hands. Tears kept pouring out of his eyes while touching, until finally he cried out with tearful eyes: "Dad... "" She threw her head on his shoulder and cried loudly.And intermittently asked: "Dad, I want to come back...do you still recognize me?"

The sadness of the past cannot be brought up, as soon as I mention it, I will be full of tears.Xue Xiaosong has already missed too many stages of his son's growth, and he only hopes that in the years to come, he will guard his smile well, guarding this hard-won hard work to make him happy.

"Dad, I'm back. Hey, what's the matter with you?" Xue Zhongze quickly came to his father to check the reason for his tears as he asked in amazement.

Xue Xiaosong wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and replied with a smile: "I'm fine. I'm good at pulling the shoulders, and I can grab it when I play, and the tassel of the gun is on the corner of the eye. It's okay." Said, put down the flower gun and pushed his son into the house. "You haven't eaten breakfast yet, and there are tofu nao and sesame seed cakes left for you. Where have you been so early in the morning?"

"My brother came to make an appointment with me on behalf of his best buddy, and asked me to help him see the appearance of the newly bought house. I have made many appointments, but I couldn't push it away. The car came to pick me up before 5 o'clock today. "—"Smile, don't take this kind of thing in the future. I have to tell Changhua when he comes back tonight." Xue Xiaozhen looked at his son with a sullen face, and reprimanded him severely. "One person, one family, or even one party and one country, the fate of prosperity and misfortune is determined, and it is impossible to take advantage of it. Besides, Dad doesn't want you to do this kind of thing to help others. This is to induce sin. The kid Changhua is still an older brother, and he is still so out of tune in the world... Smile, you heard Dad tell you that it is not a blessing to have yin and yang eyes, and you can't just use it wherever you want. That's life-threatening. If you have a high mountain and a low water, how will you let me live?"

"Dad, don't be angry. If this kind of thing happens again in the future, I will just push it away." Xue Zhongze jumped to his father's side all of a sudden, hugging the old man and laughing.While speaking, his hands were already touching his father's shoulder, and he interrupted quietly: "Dad, I touched your back shoulder, but it was very cold, and the back shoulder hurts again in the past two days, why don't you tell me? It's this piece..." As he spoke, he pressed his palms hard on his father's back, slowly stroking.

"Dad, Lin Dan, my buddy who worked in the field yesterday, brought his sister to help out at the booth, and told me privately that he wanted to introduce us to each other. If you are willing to do some activities these two days, I will take you to see her." "—"Let me go see it so early, don't scare other girls. Give it a few days to see how you feel, I really think it's good, it's not too late for Dad to go see it again. Anyway, Dad is not like other parents , I am eager to urge you to find someone to marry."

"I have already told people around me: the first condition for me to find a wife is not to leave the elderly alone; the woman's appearance is secondary, and filial piety and kindness are a must." —— These few words of the son even make the poor The one who interrupted has already coaxed Xue Xiaoping into joy. "Let's pay it first. The fate of husband and wife, father and son is built up slowly. When I was your age, I knew how to practice martial arts. When I finally knew how to be a father, the child in my arms was called the public son in the regiment. Xiao Zhangzhang. At that time, as long as I was free, I would think, as long as I can get my son back, and let me exchange 20 years of life, I will be happy."

Not long after eating lunch, Xue Zhongze received another call from his partner, put on his coat and went out.

When Xue Changhua came back at night, he was called into the main room by his second uncle and ordered to sit in the lower seat to listen to the training.This time, it's not for talking about drama and kung fu, but for Xue Zhongze's affairs.Xue Changhua respectfully assured his second uncle that he would never show off to others casually his cousin's innate ability.

That night, Xue Xiaozheng still habitually waited for the door for his son.Xue Zhongze didn't come back until 10:30.After putting down his coat, Xue Zhongze went to his father's room to sit down and chat for a while.

Xue Zhongze told his father that he met the person they talked to at noon in the afternoon. "It's the public son you often mention-Xiao Zhangzhang. I just saw him visiting the exhibition with the leaders of their unit this afternoon. I found out after talking with him that he didn't take the drama school. He went straight to school step by step. Academy, is now working in a newly opened hotel."

Xue Xiaozheng closed his eyes angrily when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity. It's a pity that the kid doesn't sing opera. I didn't see him in the drama school admissions that year, so I guessed, maybe he was stuck in that." It's in the hands of the head of right and wrong."

Xue Zhongzejing waited for his father to finish expressing his emotions, then he patted his father's hand with a smile and said, "Dad, you see that the pear orchard is dying again. According to my opinion, it is not a good thing that the child did not enter the pear orchard. Nothing else Let’s just say, considering the current situation of your unit and the leaders in charge, it’s really hard to compliment. If that Zhangzhang really joins the Beijing Opera Troupe, with his aura, the Peking Opera Troupe will be even more chaotic.”

"How do you say that?"——"That child has a lot in common with me. Well~~ Let's explain it this way, that is, he has a very strong perception of certain advantages or disadvantages. And his seems to be stronger than mine, and I It is speculated based on the signs that have happened, and he... I can’t tell right now. This child is very unusual. And hey, you may not think that Zhangzhang has grown into a young man now, and he looks so beautiful, especially Those eyes are so pretty!"

The boy the father and son were talking about was named Jiang Jingzhang, the son of Wu Xiaomei, a colleague of Xue Xiaozheng's work unit, and his grandmother was a singer in the troupe.Xiao Zhangzhang is called the public son by the uncles and elders in the regiment. He has a pair of hanging eyes, very white skin, and is soft and fluffy like a little fox with a sharp mouth.

After Xue Zhongze went to the Peking Opera Troupe to find his biological father, he met Jiang Jingzhang and became good friends.Xiao Zhangzhang is very well-behaved, and he calls Xue Zhongze—Brother Xiaoxiao.The relationship between the two brothers is more from the fact that things hurt other people.

Xue Xiaozheng often rides with Zhangzhang on his neck, and asks him to accompany Xue Da to sing the lyrics.Xue Zhongze was sitting on the high table, eating the Daoxiangcun snacks specially prepared for him by his father, and watching the actors rehearse.

Once Xue Zhongze watched, his father put one leg straight on the crossbeam of the practice frame, and then lifted Zhangzhang up and put it on his leg, pushing it gently on both sides with his hands, just swinging back and forth like that.As soon as he was shaking, he heard a creak, and the boy burst into tears.

Xue Zhongze was startled and hurried over to have a look, Xue Xiaosong immediately lost his posture, hugged the child and sat on the wooden bench, and comforted him in a harmonious voice: "It's done, it's done, the bones are broken, and it will be difficult to learn Kung Fu later." It went well." - Xue Zhongze put the Saqima in his hand into the child's hand, and also helped his father coax him: "Stop crying, tears fall on the food, it will not taste good if it is sugared." The father and son The cooperation worked very well, and the baby laughed with tears in his eyes as he ate Sachima.

Afterwards, Xue Xiaosong explained to his son that children who learn opera and enlightenment have to pass the hurdle.That child was born to be a playboy, with a good memory, appearance, figure and bones, a very clean voice, and the most rare thing is that he has an excellent spirituality.It would be a pity if the patriarch enjoyed the meal and did not sing.When Xue Xiaozheng said that his son was not in front of him, he always inadvertently took Xiao Zhangzhang as a smile.In contrast, Xue Zhongze still has a father, and can see his own father at any time; but Xiao Zhangzhang's biological father is really gone.

The father and son chatted a few more gossips, and Xue Zhongze went back to his room.Regarding the experience of the exhibition in the afternoon, he only learned half of the content from his father.

At the exhibition in the afternoon, Xue Zhongze encountered not only Jiang Jingzhang alone, but also three people who were old friends from a certain compound where his stepfather lived.

Needless to say, the two sons of the Ye family, Cheng Lin and Cheng Dong, are among the top princelings today.Siyuan, the son of the Qi family, still has the arrogance and madness of a dragon and a phoenix among people.Zheng Gang, son of the Lu family, still has that smiling face, and is currently working in a certain department.

Xiao Zhangzhang, who ran around in the past, is now a 20-year-old young man with a handsome appearance and a delicate figure;Xue Zhongze felt happy when he saw it, and couldn't help holding his soft ears, saying that the longer he grew, the more he looked like a little fox.Then he noticed that the leader surnamed Qi who brought Jiang Jingzhang to the exhibition had a face like a curtain on the door.

The last one is even more familiar.Li Shujie, half-brother, two years younger than Xue Zhongze, is currently doing import and export business with Mr. Ye's family, and he is very embarrassing for his father.His biological father is Li Changcai, who is also Xue Zhongze's stepfather, and everyone will boast that his biological son is the best in the world.

In Li Changcai's eyes, his stepson is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, ungrateful and devoid of conscience, he is more hateful than that girl who has a foreign surname.As long as someone mentions his stepson in front of him, Li Changcai will have a convulsion with hatred.After the mother of the two brothers, Mei Shan, died of illness, Xue Zhongze completely cut off contact with the Li family, and even the younger brother of the same mother rarely saw each other.

Everyone in the ministries and commissions compound knows that Li Changcai was a dog when he was young (a dog's eyes look down on people), and he is even more a dog when he is old.When Mei Shan was alive, for the sake of her youngest son, Li Shujie, she was able to maintain some old relationships and old friendships for father and son.After the old lady died of illness, Li Changcai spent all day idle and bored scolding the servants around him to relieve their boredom.

Li Shujie is busy with business, so he can only take time to go to the house for a while before leaving; his aunt Li Shuying will go to her natal house every now and then to sweep up, except for the old man, there is nothing left that she does not want.In the single high-ranking small building of Li's family, the old man Li was yelling nonsense, "fuck the ancestors for eight generations and five generations" all day long.

Li Shujie told his brother that in fact, the old man wanted to see his stepson in his heart.After all, he regarded Xue Zhongze as his son and loved him seriously for several years.When Xue Zhongze was in his teens, his face followed Mei Shan's, and he inherited the tall and handsome figure of his biological father.Back then, in the compound of the ministry and commission, he was a handsome boy, even if he was a stepfather, he was very respectable.If you say a thousand words and ten thousand, you blame Mei Shan for telling Xue Zhongze all about Xue Xiaozheng's past, which caused Li Changcai to raise a child for nothing.

Xue Zhongze didn't answer his younger brother's words, he didn't want to have anything to do with the Li family.If there were no father and daughter of the Li family, his mother would not have regretted it until she died, and could not rest in peace.It is even more unlikely that my father would bid farewell to the stage just after his destiny, because of a sharp weakening of his physique.

Some things can never be wiped out with a glass of wine, because it is like a thorn deeply inserted in the heart. After years of immersion, it grows together with the flesh of the heart; If you pull it out, it will be painful.Forgiving past sins means selling yourself again.This is Xue Zhongze's bottom line.

Xue Zhongze will never forget that before his mother died, she could not forget her guilt towards her ex-husband: "'Zeng Xun is three points white, today I lost a piece of incense', I have no face to see him, I stole you out, and now I give you back to him .”

And when the father was shocked by the sad news of his mother's passing away, his heartbroken whole body went limp, and he barely climbed on the short branch of the plum tree in the yard to look into the sky and shouted: "Mei'er, you said 'Treading the snow to find plums and waiting for good news', I will Planting plum blossoms in the yard, thinking that one day I will be able to wait for your return among the plum blossoms. Why did I wait for the news of your regretful death?...From now on...Who will I plant this plum blossom for? See?!"

That time was when Xue Zhongze said such cruel words to a person in his life, "Li Shuying, you should pray from now on, and pray that it will not fall into my hands. But when that day comes, I will let you and your whole family, Shattered to pieces, broken into bones and souls scattered, never to be reincarnated."

Before breaking up, Li Shujie said to his brother: The situation of the old man is getting worse day by day, depending on the situation, it can be as long as two years or as little as half a year.When my mother was dying, she also left a message, saying that one day the parents will be gone, at least the brothers and sisters are related by blood, so don't break it no matter what.But now he doesn't even know his brother's name.

"My name is Xue Zhongze. It is the name my biological father prepared for me before I was born."

Since then, Xue Zhongze has not met with Li Shujie again, only occasionally talking on the phone for a few words, not because he has any prejudice against this younger brother, but because he thinks it is unnecessary.As Xue Zhongze expected, Li Changcai couldn't walk a few steps now.But even so, he still spared no effort to build bridges and pave the way for his son, and at the same time, he also stood guard to check the roads, to prevent anyone from taking Li Shujie's light and blocking his broad road, especially Xue Zhongze.

Xue Zhongze's business with his friends has gradually gone smoothly, and his relationship with his girlfriend Lin Ning has also made some progress.Lin Ning looked like Zhou Zheng, and she respected Xue Xiaoping very much.If it is unsatisfactory, it means that the jealousy is too strong.

Business partners who usually deal with each other, men can chat and play whatever they want, but if it's a woman, it's barely visible.But the invisible ones are more troublesome. As long as a woman calls Xue Zhongze, she will definitely chase her back and ask the other party's name and name. Why are you looking for Xue Zhongze?Even in the presence of Xue Xiaosong, he could do this.

Xue Zhongze lost face because of this, and let go of breaking up; Lin Ning went to Xue Xiaozheng and cried.Xue Xiaosong persuaded his son in turn, saying: Back then, if I had been half vigilant, I wouldn't have lost your mother and you.The fact that the girl can treat you like this means that she has you in her heart.

But jokes are jokes. When his father asked him for his opinion, could he get married by the end of the year, even if he got the certificate first?Xue Zhongze replied that he would wait another year.At the same time, on the other hand, he politely declined Lin Ning's request to live together.No matter how he felt about Lin Ning, he couldn't get enough of his longing, and every time he thought of Lin Ning's domineering energy, he didn't even have the slightest desire; except for nausea, it was like a glow on his back.

He told his father that he didn't want to make do with a woman in order to explain to his father. ——Xue Xiaozhen advised his son: Don't worry, there will definitely be someone who will really live with you, but you haven't found him yet.Dad wants you to get married and start a family for no other reason, but because he is afraid that one day when Dad is gone, no one will love you wholeheartedly.

So the days flowed forward in the short entanglement of the parents.

But on the day of Lidong, Lin Ning, who was on her menstrual period, was very nagging, insisting on whether to add leeks to the dumpling stuffing, and those who went online pulled out the family status and the loyalty of men.Xue Zhongze couldn't bear to curse and cursed: "If you have any ideas, just be straightforward, don't play with the idle talk here. I don't have time to guess."

While speaking, he glanced at Lin Dan's daughter-in-law's face, and felt a little tactile sensation in his heart.Business is getting smoother and smoother, and it is inevitable that people will have different thoughts.The legal person of the booth license is Xue Zhongze, and the source of customers also comes from him, but most of the investment is from the partner Lin Dan.Once the so-called refreshing cooperation is stirred into a little bit of oily smell, it will have a stinky smell no matter how you put it.

Xue Zhongze didn't go any further, he got up and walked to the overpass in the corridor to smoke.Before finishing a cigarette, Lin Ning came to tell him that someone was looking for him at the stall.

"Who is it?"—"I don't know who you have known?" Lin Ning replied with rage still lingering.Amidst Lin Ning's nagging, Xue Zhongze extinguished the cigarette and turned back to the booth.

The moment Xue Zhongze saw the person coming, the blood in Xue Zhongze's whole body was boiling with excitement; he blurted out a smile and cursed: Fuck!He ran forward and hugged that person.

"Chang Ying, you are really the nose of a drug-sniffing dog, how did you smell it?"——"That's it, is it a joke (small meaning). It sounds like a chant (mouse hole), and the forehead is also set out." Chang Ying Ying laughed and deliberately teased the poor with a northwest accent.

Xue Zhongze laughed and strangled Chang Ying's neck, freeing his right hand to vigorously rub the mohawk-style head glued together with hair gel.Immediately, he greeted the sisters-in-law and sister-in-law at the booth, picked up his coat and backpack, and hung Chang Ying over his shoulders to go out for a drink.In order to maintain a good image, Lin Ning didn't notice that Xue Zhongze had dragged people away and disappeared.

Seeing Chang Ying's car license plate in the parking lot outside Electronics City, Xue Zhongze whistled: Public plate, what a big background.

The two chose to sit at a grilled fish restaurant that was closer to Xue Zhongze's house, ordered food and wine, and chatted slowly while eating melon seeds.Chang Ying resumed her regular Mandarin voice and said with a smile, "Hey, can you guess how I found you?"

Xue Zhongze threw the melon seeds and replied with a sneer: "On the second night of the opening of the exhibition, the notice was given to clear the venue, saying that the head of a higher level came to the site in person to guide, and one person was required to stay on duty at each booth. Those who can move the top leaders, except Mr. Ye, who has such a big face. Since you can drive out that brand of car and watch the security monitoring of the exhibition, it is not easy to catch. It will be easier to guess in the future, Li Shujie's big mouth, What can you hide? A few words can make you ask the bottom line."

While the two were chatting, the grilled fish came to the table quickly, and Chang Ying quickly put the grilled fish side dishes into the soup, listening to Xue Zhongze's deduction, couldn't help laughing but couldn't tell the difference.

When the wine was served, Xue Zhongze stretched out his hand to hold it down. "Even if you have an official signboard, you are not afraid of being confiscated by the police cap, and don't deliberately find trouble."——"It's okay, the leader gave me a leave today and let me come out. Call someone to pick me up before opening the road Just one trip."

"Oh, the leader's words allow you to be drunk once?" - "It's like this." Chang Ying laughed and poured beer into Xue Zhongze's glass, and then filled her own glass.Then raised his glass: "Come on, meet again after a long absence, let's go."

Chang Ying and Xue Zhongze simply reverted to the appearance of their mouths full of cymbals after drinking it down and refilling their glasses. "Do you still remember what you said before calling for a quick walk after cooking?"—"Why don't you remember, it made you laugh so hard that you wanted to pee your pants." Tired and bored, he smiled and stood up, playing like Ren Zhen, and the water waved out.'" (Northwestern dialect: After eating, go outside for some activities. You see that Comrade Xiao Li is serious, and you are sweating.)

As Chang Ying recalled the recounted dialect as it was, Xue Zhongze laughed so much that he covered his face with one hand and slapped the table with the other.

Chang Ying is from her hometown in the Northwest. When she signed up to join the army, she spoke a Northwest accent that she deliberately corrected but made jokes about.Back then, the two were in the same class, one straightforward and strong and determined, the other nimble, sharp and insightful. After the recruit training was over, the two applied for the security company training together and became partners.During the nearly boring and arduous training, teasing this sincere man, telling jokes with a Northwestern accent, and singing Xin Tianyou became Xue Zhongze's never-ending life adjustment.

"...Brother Niruo Si Erdi, make a move to that hand; ah, you don't look like Erdi brother, play Nidi that (Lu)..." Chang Ying sang softly, and raised her hand again. Cup and Xue Zhongze bumped into each other. "I really didn't expect that you would suddenly return to the company to recover, and after the demobilization, it was like disappearing from the world, and the name was changed. I have always wanted to ask you face to face, and take part in the training together. Your achievements It's not low, and all of a sudden you quit. What's going on?"

Xue Zhongze took a bite of the tofu skin soaked in grilled fish soup with his chopsticks, and replied with a casual smile: "What can happen? I failed the political examination. At that time, some old ladies in gray suits came to talk to me. Said that I met my stepdad; I asked a lot of questions, including the date I should be dating... It was a lot of long-winded. I replied that I didn't want to consider personal issues. After that, I handed over the supporting materials, saying that I was not faithful enough. , not suitable for high-level work. Then I was demobilized and went back to my biological father; I didn’t go to the assigned work unit. Hey, don’t just talk about me, what about you? 'Is it? Are you married?'

"Aren't you asking this question knowingly? You can't think about these things during your working hours." Chang Ying picked up the fish belly meat from the baking tray and piled it on Xue Zhongze's side.In Chang Ying's words, that part of the meat is called "silly thorn's meat", that is, the part that is easy to pick and pricks.

Xue Zhongze picked up the fish and ate it honestly: "Succeed, this Beijing film is really like that, and it will soon catch up with my native alley skewers." —— "Come on, but learn more It's just fur."

"Don't be modest, the fur can be said to be so soft." - "Can you tell whether I am soft or hard just by talking?"

Xue Zhongze almost spit out the beer from his nose, grabbed a napkin and wiped his mouth, pointed at the opposite side and laughed and cursed: "Damn, it's really a 'car and boat shop, you should be killed if you are innocent'. Chang Ying, you are a bad example It's gone." Chang Ying was very happy to finally 'throw Xue Zhongze into the pit', laughed loudly and clinked glasses to drink.

While leaving contact numbers for each other, Chang Ying suddenly remembered something: "When I followed me to a meeting last year, someone asked me about you, and I didn't know your whereabouts at the time, so I answered him truthfully. He said his surname was Gu, I'm an old acquaintance with you; I also said that if I see you in the future, I will send a message to let you contact him. Let me think about it, his company is called... Longqiang Group, you just need to call the switchboard and leave a message. "

The sip of wine in his mouth suddenly became bitter, and Xue Zhongze swallowed it with a strong feeling of aversion. "The surname is Gu... I really can't remember knowing such a person. It seems to be from the Li family. When you see this person again, don't say anything to him. The people or things from the Li family, I am now If you can break it, you can break it. To put it bluntly, after a hundred years from my father, I really don't want to stay in this city."

Just as Chang Ying was about to ask, Xue Zhongze's cell phone rang. He picked it up and looked at it, immediately smiled and said, "Our old man. He was too happy just now, so he forgot to say hello to him." He connected the phone. "Dad, I was out drinking with my comrades. I'm sorry I forgot to tell you. Jiangcheng Grilled Fish is not far from our house. I'll be home after a while. Don't worry, I won't be frozen even if I run two steps Hey, brother, you don't need to cook for me, you can eat with the old man first."

Chang Ying waited for Xue Zhongze to close the line, pointed to the bottle and a half of beer left on the table and said, "Then finish the drink on the table, and you should go back early, don't let the old man worry. I came here in a hurry today, change I'll go home to visit the old man today, is it okay?" - Xue Zhongze asked the waiter to serve two bowls of rice, and gave Chang Ying a bowl: "That's okay. The old man always asks me why I don't see my comrades in the army Contact me. I don't want to mention it to him, because the relationship with the Li family is entangled, so as not to bring up decades of sad things."

While chewing and swallowing the fish soup bibimbap slowly, Chang Ying told Xue Zhongze in a low voice that after the two sessions next year, he will be transferred with the chief, and there will be more time to meet and drink frequently.Xue Zhongze took a spoonful of meat and vegetables, added it to Chang Ying's bowl, and said that he would take him to eat authentic snacks when the time came.

Unexpectedly, before he finished a bowl of rice, Xue Xiaosong actually found it at the address his son said.Xue Chang and the two quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks and got up, and Xue Zhongze helped his father to the seat.

Chang Ying hastily wiped her hands and the corners of her mouth, and bowed to Xue Xiaosong to apologize: "Hello, Uncle. My name is Chang Ying. I'm sorry if you keep looking for me. I just said that I came out too hastily today, and I wanted to talk to him again. Make an appointment, and I will visit you at your house some other day. We don’t have the habit of drinking too much, so we only have two bottles of beer per person; a colleague will pick me up later, and I will send him back by the way.”

Xue Xiaosong and Chang Ying shook hands, beckoning them to their seats, and said with a kind smile, "You don't have to be so polite, we don't care too much. I heard the weather forecast that the wind would cool down in the evening, and I remembered that Zhong Ze didn't wear thick clothes today, and He said he was drinking outside, so I tried to find him... His uncle, my elder brother, was drunk and froze outside since he was young; so when it comes to drinking, I pay special attention to him .It’s not for the sake of it. Since I’m Nakazawa’s comrade-in-arms, we’ll see each other today, so if you want to drink, go home.”

Chang Ying poured a cup of hot tea for Xue Xiaofeng, and sincerely asked Xue Xiaofeng if he would like to have dinner with them before going back.Xue Xiaosong thanked him politely, saying that he really came out after dinner.

Xue Zhongze didn't pretend to be polite, picked up the bowls and chopsticks and continued to eat, and asked for advice: "Dad, Chang Ying and I were good friends when we were in the army. You don't have to be polite with him. Chang Ying, you had a drink just now, why don't you talk to me later?" Don't rush back, come home with me?" ——Chang Ying waved her hand, covered her mouth with food and said vaguely: "I don't care where I am, the car has to go back, discipline. Uncle, I really feel bad today Looks like I'll come back another day to make an apology to you."

"Don't take it to heart, it's really unreasonable. In fact, I have asked Zhongze about the troops and comrades-in-arms. But his mouth is more tightly closed than the gate of the Forbidden City. I don't want to say anything. I can't even feel the wind."

The old and the young chatted without saying a word, sat for another 10 minutes, and shook hands with each other amicably to say goodbye.Xue Xiaosong didn't let Chang Ying see him off, but he readily invited Chang Ying to his house for a drink on behalf of his son.Afterwards, the son walked home with An Bu in the car.

When he got home, Xue Zhongze poured warm water for his father himself, took care of the old man washing his hands and scalding his feet, and at the same time taking care of his father not to go out to look for him in the cold, as it would be bad if he touched him.

Xue Xiaoxuan chuckled and said, "If I don't borrow this excuse to find you, I'll have to listen to Xiao Lin complaining to me about my grievances. The worst thing in my life is for a child to cry. This is a girl again, so I can't blame you. Maybe coax your brother back to the house and come out to find you."

"Did Lin Ning come to cry with you again? What's the reason today?" —— "You said you had a big fight with her and left with a strange man. Then you said you were worried that you had someone else, why? How long it was short, I cried several times. It made the children who came to me to watch the exercise embarrassing.”

Xue Zhongze frowned and suppressed his anger for a moment, then casually took the thermos and poured some hot water into the footbath. "I'll tell her later, don't let her come to bother you in the future." - Xue Xiaosong didn't mind, "If she really gets married with you, she will be right in front of your eyes from now on, so there's no need to bother you. Smile and sit down , Dad asked you something, you must tell the truth."

When his son was sitting in front of him, Xue Xiaosong cleared his throat uncomfortably: "Tell Dad the truth, have you and Xiao Lin ever had that thing? It's about the pillow mat." —— "It must have never happened .”

"Then I listened to what she said today, as if she was pointing at me, what did you do to her, and now you are going to give up..." - Xue Zhongze laughed: "What's the matter, do you want to act for me? I am not Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty when there is a scene of 'the red sun enters the bosom and conceives'." As he spoke, his face sank. "If she thinks about this kind of nonsense, then she can talk about this matter."

Waiting quietly for his father to dry his feet one by one, Xue Zhongze moved the water basin to the door, and brought back cotton slippers for his father. "I've been thinking about it recently, and plan to gradually hand over the business to Lin Dan next year. I'm going to do it for a different reason."

Xue Xiaosong put on cotton slippers, slowly moved up and stood up, and patted his son on the shoulder: "As for your work and business, Dad is a layman, and he can't give you any help, so you can do it yourself. As for the matter with Lin Ning , I suggest you think about it, you must
