small town enyuan

It's dark, and the atmosphere of studying hard in the cold window is getting stronger and stronger.

This day, after the morning class, Cheng Zhien had a holiday, and he hadn't eaten hot pot for another month, and he missed hot pot very much during this holiday.Coincidentally, this holiday also happens to be Cheng Zhien's real birthday.The police found out the hospital where Cheng Zhien was born and the real date of birth. After this birthday, he was just 16 years old.

This birthday was learned in a hurry, and it was not easy to celebrate, Cheng Zhien only planned to have a good hot pot meal.I called my mother early to prepare all kinds of dishes, and he will have hot pot when he gets home.

After getting off the minibus, it was only after two o'clock, and walked along the road to the entrance of the restaurant. Cheng Zhien noticed a car parked beside him and touched Liang Yuan: "For a Lexus with a Beijing license plate, Lao He is so bold that he took the stolen The car stops right here?"

Liang Yuan also took a look, "Maybe he was passing by."

The two stepped into the door, and Cheng Zhien still said traditionally, "Mom, I'm starving to death."

There was an induction cooker on the table near the kitchen door, and it was gurgling and cooking soup. Liang Chunhua came out of the kitchen with a plate in his hand, "Wash your hands and start cooking. I'll wait for you to come back and cook the meat. I've prepared all the ingredients for you."

Cheng Zhien looked at the person sitting by the window, and asked in a low voice, "Are there any guests?"

Liang Chunhua nodded, "It's okay, you eat yours."

Cheng Zhien turned to look at the person by the window again.This man was wearing a neat and delicate shirt, his hair was neatly combed, and he wore glasses to look elegant. He was not a countryman at first glance.

Lin Yanqing turned to stare at Cheng Zhien.This was the first time he saw his son with his own eyes, and this child really looked like his mother.But it is also somewhat similar to myself.The mouth is quite similar, and so is the nose.The more Lin Yanqing looked at it, the more he felt that this child resembled him in many ways.He once thought about what would happen if he had a child. If it was a son, from a cute child to a man, there may be many different landscape experiences.But as I got older and had several emotional experiences, this thought became weaker and weaker.Seeing the sudden appearance of his son today, he felt inexplicably hot in his eyes, but his eyes were glued to this joyful and jumping boy.

Cheng Zhien turned around and walked into the kitchen again, "Dad, why didn't you make sausage this afternoon?"

"I did too much yesterday, so I don't need to do so much today."

Lin Yanqing felt uncomfortable when he heard his own son calling someone else's father, as if he had sprinkled a handful of salt into the wound and poured a bottle of vinegar.He took a sip of water from his cup and lowered his eyes.

Liang Yuan washed his hands, walked around, and took a tissue near the window.Take a better look at the face of the man by the window.He already knew in his heart that this man was Cheng Zhien's biological father.The similarity of blood relationship is still easy to recognize.He was horrified and angry, what happened last time had already affected Cheng Zhien's grades, why would it happen again.But there was nothing he could do.

Cheng Zhien cheerfully brought out two large plates of sliced ​​meat from the kitchen, "Brother Yuan, come and eat quickly. What are you dawdling about?"

"Here we come," Liang Yuan threw the tissue into the trash can, walked over and pulled the stool away to sit down.

Cheng Zhien lifted the lid and put the meat into the pot to cook the meat, the gurgling heat came out, he took the chopsticks and stirred the seasoning a few times, put the tip of the chopsticks in his mouth and licked it: "It's so fragrant." He couldn't wait for the meat to be cooked, and picked up a chopstick Put it in a bowl to dip in the dipping sauce, taste it and eat it. The aroma of chopped green onion and coriander mixed with sesame paste, plus the unique smell of fat from mutton, he squinted his eyes and said intoxicatedly: "It's so delicious. I've been waiting for this one for two months. "

After the first bite, Cheng Zhien looked at the kitchen, "Mom and Dad, you come out to eat together, why are you hiding in the kitchen? Conspiring to raise prices?"

Liang Chunhua wiped her hands and came out, "We've already eaten, and your dad is preparing dinner for dinner."

"It's not too late, try it." Cheng Zhien held a piece of meat with chopsticks and handed it to Liang Chunhua, who then ate it. "Dad, you should try it too." Cheng Zhien carried the bowl into the kitchen.

Lin Yanqing, who was sitting by the window, felt even more uncomfortable.Take a deep breath.

When Cheng Zhien came back, he let go of his posture and started to eat. It was too hot to eat, so he took off his coat.He put some meat with chopsticks in Liang Yuan's bowl, "Brother Xiao Yuan, why don't you eat it?" Liang Yuan glanced at the person by the window from time to time, not having any appetite.

After eating a pot of meat, boiled a plate of cabbage, the boiled cabbage was sweet and fresh, Cheng Zhien purposely ate a few more bites.Finally full, Cheng Zhien leaned back on the chair, sighed, squinted his eyes and rubbed his stomach, "I'm so satisfied."

Raising his hand to turn off the induction cooker, Cheng Zhien stood up, walked to the table by the window, and sat down opposite Lin Yanqing, "Are you here to find me?"

Lin Yanqing had originally discussed it with the Cheng family couple, but today he just took a look and didn't talk, and decided to discuss the situation later.If it doesn't work, let's wait until Cheng Zhien finishes his college entrance examination.He didn't expect to be seen through by this child, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.I had no choice but to nod.

Liang Chunhua and Cheng Jianguo came out of the kitchen, "Doudou..."

Cheng Zhien waved his hand, "It's okay, Mom and Dad, I'm just chatting. Besides, your acting skills are really bad. I've been eating for a long time, and you all walk around people." Cheng Zhien turned back again, "So, why? address?"

"I..." Lin Yanqing thought for a while and said, "I am your father."

"Don't, don't, don't," Cheng Zhien waved his hands like windmills, "Don't get too close. My dad is standing there. What's your last name?"

"Lin, Shuangmu Lin, Lin Yanqing." Lin Yanqing's eyes behind the glasses were a little moist.

Cheng Zhien nodded, showing a bright smile, "You and my biological mother were a legal couple back then, right?"

"Yes."

"Oh," Cheng Zhien agreed casually, "I have a question, that is, why did my own mother run away from home and come to this small county from Beijing?"

Lin Yan cleared his throat and said, "She, when we had a fight over some things, she was more excited. She ran out to relax."

"When?"

"93."

"How many months?"

"October."

Cheng Zhien pointed to himself, "I was born in October 93. In March 10, did you know that my real mother was pregnant?"

Lin Yanqing shook his head, "I don't know."

"You haven't seen her since, have you?"

Lin Yanqing was a little uncomfortable with Cheng Zhien's questioning method, "Doudo, I know you may have some questions, and you also have opinions on me. Dad did not do some things well. Dad apologizes to you."

Cheng Zhien smiled, "It doesn't matter if you apologize or not, I just want to know why you two are arguing?"

"It's... all trivial matters. Your mother is more emotional."

Cheng Zhien still smiled and asked, "What is it that can make a pregnant woman who is two months pregnant resolutely run away from home. Then she will give birth to the child alone in the city outside, and then prepare to take the child on a long journey back to the south. Can you Give me a reasonable reason?"

Lin Yanqing was a little angry, but still suppressing his anger, he said softly, "It's all about adults, about the previous generation. Can we talk about these things in detail later?"

"Are you cheating?" Cheng Zhien's face was a little grim.

"You don't understand things between adults, but you will understand when you grow up." Lin Yanqing's face tightened.

Cheng Zhien closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and opened his eyes, "Okay, I won't ask any more. I won't recognize you." He stood up and checked the time, "Mom, I'm going to pick Jiajia up from school." Said Turn around and go out.

Liang Chunhua picked up the coat on the chair and chased after her, "Clothes! It's cold, wear more! Be careful of catching a cold."

Liang Yuan stood up and went out with Cheng Zhien.

Cheng Zhien put on his clothes at the door, and said to Lin Yanqing, "It's getting cold, remember to cover up with more soil when you go home." After speaking, he turned and went out.

Lin Yanqing stood up in the room, "This child, this temper..."

Liang Yuan looked at Cheng Zhien worriedly, and turned his face hundreds of times along the way.

Cheng Zhien walked to an open space on the side of the road, picked up a brick, and began to hit a raised piece of ground viciously, until the ground was dented and the brick broke, and he threw the brick away from his hands, "Liang Why don't you tell me a joke to comfort me?"

Liang Yuan rubbed his hands awkwardly, "I don't know how to tell jokes. I'll be by your side, which is the best company and comfort. Let me vent my emotions with you."

Cheng Zhien shook his head helplessly, "Come here, I want to beat you up!"

"Go ahead." Liang Yuan leaned over.

Cheng Zhien lightly punched Liang Yuan on the shoulder, "I really want to beat you to death."

Liang Yuan pulled Cheng Zhien to the side of the wood pile in the open space, looking for a clean place, "Sit down for a while, it's still early before school ends."

Cheng Zhien sat down.

Liang Yuan broke off a yellow dog's tail grass beside him, and waved it in front of Cheng Zhien's eyes, "When we were young, we just sat like this, and we could sit for a long time. I forgot what we were talking about at the beginning."

"I forgot too." Cheng Zhien took the foxtail, "But I remember we talked about what is the end of the wheat field, and we rode bicycles for a long distance, and found that the end of the wheat field was still a village and a wheat field."

"Tell me, did you have a premonition that your biological home is in Beijing?" Liang Yuan asked tentatively.

"Maybe." Cheng Zhien lowered his head and said vaguely.

"You used to say that I was a boring gourd." Liang Yuan broke another piece of grass from the side, "Actually you are a boring gourd. You hold everything in your stomach and think about everything so clearly. You never told me those words. I sometimes feel like I’m remiss.”

"What dereliction of duty?" Cheng Zhien asked.

"I couldn't be your elder brother, and I couldn't be your partner or friend," Liang Yuan looked up at the people in the distance, "I couldn't be a good person."
