That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Xiaocheng, Beicheng District.

In broad daylight, a high-pitched and shrill cry, with a decibel intensity close to shattering glass, shook the three streets in front and behind.

Mom!!! Second, brother, come back, come~

.

Hao Cuicui ran behind An Xiaolian in fright, hugged her thigh, and stuck out half of her head to look at the door.

She couldn't understand the accent in northern Hubei, but based on her experience, as long as there was such a movement in the countryside, there would definitely be a fierce dispute, which would most likely be accompanied by a fight.

Hao Jian rubbed his ears and said dumbfounded: Xiaoqin, why are you shouting so loudly? You're scaring the children.

The woman named Xiaoqin had tears in her eyes and came over to hold Hao Jian's hand: Second brother, you haven't written a letter back in these years. Why did you come back?

Am I back now? Hao Jian also said with sore nostrils: But I remember that Xiao Qinyou is only twenty-one this year! Why are the children so old?

I'm twenty-two miles away, and you've been gone for fifteen years.

How can there be fifteen years? Hao Jian said: It's only fourteen years and fourteen and a half years.

Hao Jian actually remembered it clearly. He remembered that when he went to the countryside, his younger sister Xiaoqin had not yet entered elementary school. The impression in his memory stayed on the little girl with a runny nose, so he did not realize that for the first time just now. The little girl is his niece.

And today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Logically speaking, Hao Qin shouldn't be at her parents' house, but at her husband's house.

You still remember fourteen and a half years!

Xiaoqin finally cried, and beat Hao Jian again and again: You didn't even write a letter, and the letters we sent you were returned. My mother cries every year. Yesterday I cried for a long time and couldn't stop it no matter how hard I tried to persuade her. Wuwuwu.

Xiaoqin burst into tears, but suddenly she felt a small hand pulling her hard, trying to pull her away from her second brother.

While playing the violin, Hao Cuicui threatened in a coquettish voice: Don't hit my dad, my uncle is very powerful.

.

Xiaoqin looked at the little man in front of her, and then remembered that her second brother had a daughter who was born sick.

But before she could say a word of affection to her little niece, there were chaotic and rapid footsteps behind her.

The voice he shouted just now startled everyone in the room.

Running at the front was a woman whose age was hard to estimate.

You want to say she is an old woman! Her face probably doesn't have that many wrinkles.

But you have to say she is a middle-aged woman! Her hair was all white.

Seeing this woman appear, Hao Jian, who had been able to maintain his composure just now, completely lost control.

This is his mother Yao Hongmin, who is only fifty-two years old this year.

When Hao Jian left home, Yao Hongmin was still a working man in his prime, but it was sad to see his gray hair now.

Yao Hongmin came over and grabbed Hao Jian's hand. She wanted to say something but couldn't. In the end, like Xiao Qin, she beat Hao Jian again and again.

It's a family tradition.

Hao Cuicui wanted to help her father fight again, and reached out to pull him away, but was pulled aside by her mother, An Xiaolian.

Then, Hao Cuicui saw her father kneeling on his knees, holding the white-haired old woman's legs and crying.

This man who has been holding back his resentment for many years only now understands that it is not only resentment that is held in his heart, but also the longing for family that is connected with flesh and blood.

[How can you deny me? How can you not want me as your son? 】

Xiaocheng is the only prefecture-level city named filial piety in the country, and it is also the hometown of filial piety culture for flower growers.

It is only natural that one should kneel to heaven, kneel to earth, and kneel to one's parents.

Moreover, Hao Jian took it upon himself to marry a wife in Dongshan and settle down in Dongshan. This behavior is more or less related to unfilial and rebellious son.

Now that Hao Jian was beaten several times by his mother, he was willing to do so.

The mother and son cried for a long time before each of them stopped crying.

Only then did Yao Hongmin see An Xiaolian and her daughter.

She looked at the timid Hao Cuicui and said, Is this the little Cui'er you were talking about! Isn't this child pretty good?

It's pretty good. I bought some imported medicine for her and cured her illness. Xiao Cui'er is now called grandma.

Hao Jian wiped his tears and asked his daughter Hao Cuicui to call someone.

Hao Cuicui timidly called her grandma, pulling An Xiaolian and not daring to let go.

An Xiaolian could only say: Mom, this child has been timid since he was a child.

It's okay, it's okay, come in, come in, meet grandpa when you come in, he was nagging you and your family yesterday!

Yao Hongmin greeted her son, daughter-in-law and her family to come in, and some neighbors heard the noise and spread the news that the second son of Hao's family had returned from Dongshan.

After Hao Jian walked into the house, he saw his old father Hao Dongmin standing at the door of the hall, with bright eyes and meticulously combed gray hair.

But both his eyes and hair were filled with moisture.

His eyes must have been wet just now, and his hair was dipped in water and combed neatly, otherwise he would not be able to reflect his father's majesty.

The way men communicate with each other is sometimes weird. They are obviously very excited, but they still have to act like a parent.

When Hao Jian saw his father, he was not as emotional as when he saw his mother. He just called Dad and then introduced his wife and children, especially his daughter. This was to show off in front of his father.

She was much thinner than this a few days ago. After I take good care of her for a year, I will bring her back to you to see. I guarantee that anyone who sees her will like her.

Hao Dongmin said to Hao Jian with a straight face: It doesn't have to be another year, I like it very much now.

But he turned around, grinned kindly and asked Hao Cuicui: Xiao Cuier, have you eaten? Are you hungry?

Hao Cuicui said matter-of-factly: I ate, but my dad didn't eat. I asked him to eat before leaving. He said he wanted to go home and eat grandma's cooking.

Cook, cook, cook now,

Yao Hongmin immediately pointed at Hao Dongmin and said, Hurry up and help me cook.

Hao Dongmin frowned and said, Just let the children help you cook. What should I cook?

But Yao Hongmin resolutely took her wife to the kitchen to cook for her son.

As soon as the old couple left, the atmosphere in the room immediately became lively.

Hao Jian's elder brother Hao Le, younger brother Hao Ren and younger sister Hao Qin pulled Hao Jian around asking questions.

The two daughters-in-law of the Hao family, Wen Qian and Tang Ping, played riddles around An Xiaolian.

You say something in Dongshan dialect, and I say something in Hubei dialect. Let's guess what we said to each other?

The third brother, Hao Ren, was bringing his brother a cigarette and asked, Second brother, how have you been doing these past few years? All the letters we sent were returned, so I don't know how you are doing.

Hao Jian took out his cigarette, gave one to the two brothers, and said, How else can I get through it? Just get through it! Life is finally getting better this year. Why don't I come back to see you?

Isn't it just that your life is easier? Hao Le, the boss, said with a smile: A pack of cigarettes is worth half a month's salary to me, but with your clothes and outfit, you look more glamorous than our factory director.

Hao Jian smiled freely and said: This is the craftsmanship of the workers in our factory. We must be more attentive to it. I have brought a few clothes for you. I will take them out of the car and try them on to see if they fit. It fits me perfectly, I haven’t seen it in so many years and I can’t even remember my body size.”

Don't wait later, do it now!

The third brother, Hao Ren, had already seen Hao Jian's Ladaniva. Men love cars, so how could they hold back now?

Hao Jian had no choice but to take his eldest brother and younger brother out to look at the car. As soon as he went out, he found that the seven or eight children at home were carrying two buckets to clean his car!

The Ladaniva had traveled more than a thousand kilometers, and it was unknown how dirty it was, but a group of children were happy and wiped it with great enthusiasm.

Seeing Hao Jian coming, the boy from the boss's house immediately rushed over and shouted: Second uncle, happy New Year.

Second uncle, happy New Year.

Happy New Year, second uncle.

A group of little ones also came over to wish Hao Jian New Year's greetings.

Hao Jian was very happy and took out the red envelopes and handed them out one by one. But after he finished handing out the red envelopes, he found that a group of children were still looking at him. Only then did he realize that in the eyes of children, colorful candies are much cuter than colorful banknotes. .

Hao Jian took the two brothers out for a spin. During the process, he took out his camera and took a photo of his eldest brother, his third brother, and Radaniwa.

A small half of the group photos of this era are of people and scenery, and the other half are of people and cars.

At this time, Hao Le and Hao Ren still don't know that their second brother (second brother) has become prosperous!

So when they got home for dinner, the table full of food didn't interest Hao Le or Hao Ren, so they caught Hao Jian asking questions and being very affectionate.

Hao Jian didn't tell the truth, nor was he overly modest. He showed a little bit of strength like a dragonfly, which made the whole family chatter, and he became the central figure of the old Hao family.

Hao Dongmin looked at his energetic second son with complicated eyes, and after a moment he finally raised his glass to him.

Second brother! It's great that you can bring your child back today to see how your mother is doing.

He actually felt guilty towards his second son, especially after Hao Jian sent the 120 yuan back, he did not send it back again or write to ask for anything, which explained a lot.

And Hao Jian's performance today when he came back was quite manly, which was really good.

Hao Jian grinned, picked up the glass and drank it all, and then said: Dad, I will be better in the future!

Hao Dongmin laughed and drank the wine in one gulp.

He heard Hao Jian's pride, and even heard Hao Jian's slight challenge.

This is like a lion in a pride taking over. Hao Dongmin used to be the undisputed pillar of the family, but from today on, Hao Jian takes over.

By a strange combination of circumstances, Hao Jian, who had given up his resentment, let others see the brocade clothes on his body in another gentle and gentle way.

Hao Cuicui generously distributed candies to a group of brothers and sisters. Although they did not understand each other's language, it did not prevent everyone from having fun together.

At this moment, who would think that she was the sick loser, and who would deny that she was Hao Jian's Golden Phoenix?

. . . . . .

At Dongshan Railway Station, Li Zhongfa personally escorted Li Ye to the train.

Director Li Da said to Li Ye in an almost lecturing tone: When you get to Hong Kong Island, don't be blinded by the corruption of capitalism, let alone lose our face. Your knees must not be weak. Hold your head high, do you understand? ?”

Li Ye said softly: Grandpa, you have told me this eight hundred times, don't you think that I am the one who suffers?

Don't take it lightly, Li Zhongfa said seriously: You are young and inexperienced, and you cannot see through some conspiracies. There is no harm in being careful in everything.

Li Ye corrected his attitude, listened to the thoughts and experiences of an old revolutionary in a stand at attention posture, and waited until the train arrived at the station.

When Li Yelin got on the train, Li Zhongfa whispered again: Don't worry too much about Sanshui. I will find some more people to help you. Anyway, you can afford to pay others now, right?

Li Ye nodded and said: As long as you think it's okay, the more, the merrier.

Li Zhongfa turned to look at Jin Peng again.

Jin Peng was very uneasy because he was sprayed eight times by Li Zhongfa because of the Sanshui incident.

Li Zhongfa did not curse again this time, but just said: It is a good thing that you value friendship, but if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you must call me.

Jin Peng quickly agreed: Master, I understand.

Okay, get in the car and let's go!

Li Zhong waved his hand and sent the two brothers into the sleeper car.

Jiang Hong took ten people with him and got into the hard-seat carriage.

The harsh words Sanshui said before he was sent away made Li Zhongfa very angry. How could he be threatened by a group of smugglers on the land of a dignified flower grower?

There are not many other things in the flower garden, except that there are many veterans. There are countless veterans idle at home. Those who are picky can drown you in the sea of ​​​​people.

After getting into his berth, Li Ye took out the English manuscript that Teacher Ke gave him and started recording it on his biological hard drive.

Originally, he asked Pei Wencong for three invitations to invite Teacher He and Wen Leyu to play together, but Teacher Ke didn't care about such an opportunity, and it was impossible for a girl like Wen Leyu to do so these days. I went out alone with Li Ye for so many days.

So Li Ye only took the novel manuscript and went to Hong Kong Island alone. The names of Jin Peng and Hao Jian were added to the two places.

Xiaoye, do you know what the sugar-coated bullets that Master mentioned are?

What else could it be? Money and beautiful women!

.

What kind of beauty is that? I heard that there are blondes in Hong Kong.

.

Li Ye finally noticed Jin Peng's eyes, thought about it for a while, and felt that it was necessary to repeat to Jin Peng the rhetoric that his grandfather had just reprimanded.
