Bai Qiu whispered to Xue Hai: "You are a child loved by your parents."
Bai Qiu's words pierced his heart, and Xue Hai burst into tears.
He had no mother since he was a child, his grandma and uncle called him a nemesis, and the children at home also bullied him.At that time, he had imagined that one day his father would come to him and tell him that he was not unwanted!
Xue Hai's life in Xue's house was not good. When he was pushed down the creek by his uncle's younger brother, his uncle was beside him, and he thought it was a fight between children!Afterwards, he even beat him up, saying that he was very angry, and threatened others by jumping into the river after saying a few words.
That day was the most helpless day for him, he was disgusted and rejected, and later Brother Bai Qiu said he was willing to share half of his food.The village chief asked him to live at home, and the He family became the most comfortable place for him since he was a child.
His father was not there when he was most difficult, but now that life is better, his father came and said he wanted to go home with him.
If he had appeared half a year earlier, Xue Hai would have gone with him and left the Xue family without hesitation, but his life is okay now, and he dare not let him abandon his current life.
His uncle and aunt kept saying that his father had already married another person and had children.
What if it's true.
As soon as Xue Hai cried, Bai Qiu took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears.
It made Bai Qiu's eyes turn red, and he also missed his father.
Liu Gong came back this time to take over his wife and children to live a good life. He never thought that his wife would leave behind such a son after dying of dystocia. Life is very difficult without the protection of his parents. Seeing his son not far away from him, But he dared not go over.
Ten years ago, he left without saying goodbye, because he was sorry for the two of them.
In the past ten years, he has worked harder than anyone else, and he wanted to finish the project as soon as possible and go home for reunion, but unfortunately, it still happened. Seeing his son cry, he, a man in his 30s, also cried.
But the people present looked at the two of them and were silent.
Bai Qiu comforted Xue Hai for a while, and then the little guy gradually stopped crying, but his hands kept embracing Bai Qiu from behind, obviously his own father was right in front of him, but only Bai Qiu could give him a sense of security.
Secretary Feng had a good impression of Bai Qiu before, but after seeing Xue Hai's actions, he had a higher opinion of Bai Qiu in his heart.Whoever is kind to him is like a mirror, it can be seen that Bai Qiu has really done his job on weekdays.
Bai Qiu said to Liu Gong: "This time, where are you going to take Xue Hai?"
"I want to take him back to Shanghai. Our hometown is in Shanghai." Liu Gong was also an educated youth who was sent down. After calculating for the past ten years, he has not been reunited with his wife and children, nor has he returned home. He has been building the motherland in remote places. Now that the project is complete, he can finally go back.
Bai Qiu said: "Xue Hai is a bit sensitive. Since he called me Little Brother Bai, I'll take the liberty to ask him, do you still have a home outside?"
Liu Gong attaches great importance to Bai Qiu, seeing his son relying on him so much, Bai Qiu's actions may affect whether his son can go back.
Seriously, he said to Bai Qiu: "I have been thinking about their wives all these years, and I came back immediately after I got the approval from the superior. I am just such a son. Today, I will say in front of Secretary Feng and Village Chief He that I owe them Damn, I will guard him for the rest of my life, and I will never look for another woman in the future!"
The people present did not know his identity, but Secretary Feng knew that Liu Gong was not an ordinary person.He is a chief engineer in his 30s, and he can at least be a principal in college. He still has 40 to [-] years left in the rest of his life. These words really hold a lot of weight!
Xue Hai is precocious and knows the meaning of this sentence.Inexplicably also a little closer.He whispered, "Can I go to school in the future?"
He likes Bai Qiu very much, and has always admired Bai Qiu's ability to write and count, but if he is dependent on others, others have no obligation to support him in school.He had no choice but to keep his thoughts in his heart, and seeing his father's sincere expression, he couldn't help asking.
It was the first time Xue Hai talked to him when he came in. Although he didn't call him dad, it was enough to make him excited, and said, "Yes, we will go to the best school, and you can learn whatever you want."
Xue Hai actually longs to have a family, but he is reluctant to part with Bai Qiu.
For children who grow up in the dark, even a little bit of light is enough to make them yearn for it, and Bai Qiu is that beam of light.
Xue Hai kept pulling Bai Qiu's clothes, his chest heaved and heaved, he looked up at Bai Qiu, then at his father, if only he could take brother Xiaobai away.
He Jianguo could see that Xue Hai did not reject his father, and Liu Gong was also a bit shy, so neither father nor son knew how to get along with each other.He said: "Xiaobai, tell Liu Gong what characters Xue Hai knows. This kid is so smart... Usually Xiaobai teaches him to write, and the children's writing is more correct than adults."
Liu Gong looked at He Jianguo gratefully, knowing that this was an opportunity for the two of them.A little excited and a little nervous, he said, "Xiaobai, tell me."
Bai Qiu praised Xue Hai for being smart and sensible.
Xiao Xue Hai's ears turned red on the spot, and he was happy and a little embarrassed to be praised by Brother Xiaobai in front of so many people: "It's not as good as he said."
Liu Gong said: "This kid is a quick learner, just follow his mother."
When Xue Hai heard this, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "What kind of person is my mother?" His mother gave birth to a child before she was married, and she was humiliated by the Xue family, and no one mentioned her.He couldn't find any words about his mother. Children always have fantasies about their mothers, and they really want to know.
Liu Gong immediately started talking.
Xue Hai listened, after going back and forth like this, Xue Hai became close to his father.
Liu Gong called Xue Hai to come to him, the little guy ran over, the father and son hugged each other, and wiped their tears for a while, Xue Hai finally let go and said to go with him.
Liu Gong couldn't be happier.He said: "Thank you, Secretary Feng, for taking time out of his busy schedule to come back with me, thank the village head for taking care of my son, and thank you Bai Qiu."
They watched Xue Hai find his father and have a sheltered home in the future, and they were all very happy for him.
Secretary Feng even smiled and said: "The sufferings of the past are over, we have to look forward."
"Correct."
Liu Gong was just about to thank Bai Qiu, when he heard a commotion outside, saying: "Liu, come out, you are a broken shoe, you dare to come back, I will arrest you and shoot you." It was a woman's voice that was harsh, and then someone rushed in up.
The person who came was none other than Xue Hai's aunt Zhong Xiaomei. When she was at home, she heard that Xue Hai's father had returned with money.On the spot, the mind was active. Xue Hai grew up in his house, and now he wants to pick up the child when he comes back, so he feels a bit embarrassed.When I walked nearby, I saw a car parked at the gate of the village committee, and my eyes were blinded.
How did she know that the top leader in the county was also in the house, she just thought it was Xue Hai's father who had returned home in good clothes.
The villagers outside were also stunned. Is Zhong Xiaomei crazy?There is also the village head inside, the village head loves to save face in front of so many people and give him good fruit if he does not get off the stage, he said immediately: "Xue Sanlin, take care of your mother-in-law."
Xue Sanlin was urged by everyone, and immediately stood up and went into the house. It wasn't that the whole family refused to enter the house. He just wanted to rush in to ask Xue Hai's father for money, but was stopped by the surrounding villagers. Now his wife, Sapo, rushed up , exactly what he wanted.
Zhong Xiaomei went in and saw that it was the educated youth back then. Just as she was about to speak, she saw He Jianguo's face was as black as charcoal: "This is the village committee, not a place for you to mess around. Go back."
Zhong Xiaomei was quite afraid of the village chief, but what a great opportunity to see him come to pick up the child.At this time, Xue Sanlin came, with his wife around, he pretended to be a good person, and said: "I'm sorry, village chief, my mother-in-law is not sensible, don't be as sensible as a woman!" That's what he said, but His eyes were fixed on Liu Gong.
"Get lost." He Jianguo said.
He Changfeng went straight over, pulled the two of them and threw them out.Then the door closed.The folks in the village outside are watching.
Xue Sanlin's face turned red instantly, it was the first time for him to be so ashamed.
He Jianguo quickly apologized to Secretary Feng: "I'm sorry, these two are out of their minds."
Secretary Feng waved his hand, needless to say, he knew about it.
As the village chief, He Jianguo had a lot of business, so he could tell what the two were thinking at a glance, and he was afraid that they would not be able to get rid of this idea for a while, or that they would turn around and start a fight.
Liu Gong also knew the atmosphere in the village, besides, he also had an account to settle with his family.I didn't want to waste Secretary Feng's precious time with this trivial matter, and said: "Secretary Feng, Xue Hai and I have to pay homage to his mother, so you can go and do other things. I will remember this favor!"
Secretary Feng was happy when he heard that Liu Gong is a high-level talent reserved by the state. With his words, his work was not in vain. Don't you need to call the driver to pick you up?"
Liu Gong said: "No need."
He Jianguo hurriedly said at this moment: "Secretary Feng, don't worry, I'm here."
Secretary Feng nodded.Getting up to leave, he saw Bai Qiu stop from the corner of his eye. He was not prepared this time, so he picked up the pen and said, "Little Comrade Bai Qiu, you are brave enough to take care of others, this pen rewards you, and you will continue to work hard in the future! Learn from Lei Feng Good role model!"
"Thank you, leader, I will." Bai Qiu took the pen from him with both hands. There are not only He Changfeng and He Jianguo in the room, but also Wang Mazi, Feng Shouyi and other cadres. They just have no sense of presence in the corner. That's all.
Now seeing Bai Qiu getting the rewards from the leader, everyone is very jealous. This is not an ordinary pen. It represents the recognition of the leader. Thinking about it, they don't even have the qualification to talk to the leader. Bai Qiu is a young man. Young people can still get this, really envious!
He Jianguo and his son He Changfeng sent him out.
Secretary Feng came out and drove away in a car.
As soon as he left, the atmosphere of the entire village committee suddenly became lighter, and it became less restrained.
Liu Gong stroked his son's hair and said, "How do they treat you? You tell Dad, don't be afraid, Dad will support you."
These words felt so secure, Xue Hai said it outright.
Liu Gong knew that his son must have had a bad life, but when he heard the child say it himself, his heart felt as if he was gouging out his flesh with the tip of a knife.
At this time, Zhong Xiaomei and her uncle came back again.
Although he was afraid of the village chief, he still said: "Village chief, this is a matter of our own family."
Liu Gong put his arms around his son, and said, "That's just right, I also have something to say." He had been in an agitated state just now, but now his face turned cold, and he felt a sense of dread.
Zhong Xiaomei rolled her eyes, and said, "I thought that car belonged to you, but I didn't expect it to be borrowed for appearance." Her words were full of disdain. I feel that I can get less money, and I look down on him even more.As for the terrifying aura on his body, in the eyes of the couple, it was just a pretense.
Liu Gongdao: "What are you looking for me for?"
"What are you doing?" Zhong Xiaomei said: "You heartless man, you made my sister's belly bigger and then patted your ass and left. Now you still want a child, why do you think about beautiful things? Today we are here to talk to you To settle the account ten years ago."
As soon as Zhong Xiaomei finished speaking, Xue Sanlin rushed up to grab his neck.
Kicked aside by He Jianguo, he was so angry that he even scolded someone: "This is the village committee, not a place for you to mess around. If you do something in front of me again, I will take your skin off." Don't look at He Jianguo. Jianguo is not young this year, but he fought in the army before.For a farmer like Xue Sanlin, he played three games as if he was playing.
Xue Sanlin was in pain from being kicked, his arrogance just now disappeared, he shrank his neck and dared not speak.
Zhong Xiaomei said: "Village Chief, what are you doing?"
He Changfeng said: "My dad told you to talk, don't do anything!" He also became a little angry, and when he looked at the two of them, he felt that the wind was leaking from their necks.
Liu Gongdao: "At the beginning, I was sorry for his mother, but why did you abuse Xue Hai? He is still so young, how could you do it?"
Zhong Xiaomei said: "Hey, he told you that we abused him, but he was really a black-hearted bastard. We raised him with shit and piss. You think your son can grow up by drinking dew. Not only did he not remember our kindness, but he also said that we abused him. You didn’t pay any food expenses, what are you doing here?”
Now Wang Mazi couldn't listen anymore, Zhong Xiaomei's ability to open her eyes and tell lies is not small, Wang Mazi said: "Xue Hai is your nephew, isn't it? Your sister gave you such a son, why do you have the face to say that?" What about this? Every family in the village is in a difficult situation, since he was born, he was given ten catties of food a month, you forgot."
Where can a child eat ten catties of food, and if there is more, they will be subsidized. Later, when Xue Hai grew up, he would supplement thirty catties a month.Obviously, the village contributed money and they contributed people, but now it is their credit.
Zhong Xiaomei completely ignored Wang Mazi's words, and clung to one thing, "If it weren't for you, a bad guy, who ruined people, my sister-in-law might still be alive now. What do you think about this?" Let's do it." She just came to ask for money.
Bai Qiu said beside him: "At the beginning, the village head rescued Xue Hai from the river. Didn't you say that you would ignore Xue Hai in the future, and whoever loves to support him? From now on, he will not care about his life or death. Why is it here again?"
Bai Qiu's tone was calm, but he tore off their fig leaf. Why did they come again? It's not because they want money.
When Liu Gong heard that his son was almost dead, he became more and more emotional, and said, "Let me ask you, where did the fucking 20 yuan go?"
As soon as she said a word, Zhong Xiaomei, who was flaunting her might just now, now had a stiff expression on her face.
Xue Sanlin was puzzled and asked, "What money?"
Liu Gong stared at Zhong Xiaomei and said, "Ask her." Then he said to everyone present: "At the beginning, I telegraphed to my family that I was going to get married. The family sent over the money they had saved all their lives, and gave her a total of 23 yuan. . Later, I was called to work in other places because of some things, and the child’s mother disappeared. What about the money? Is it not enough to support the child?”
Ten years ago, 20 yuan was much more than it is now. Xue Hai's mother went, and they hid the money.It is really unreasonable to come here now and ask for kindness and money.
Zhong Xiaomei didn't expect him to mention this, she took the money.At that time, it was very prosperous for a while, and it was filled in her own small coffers.Xue Sanlin didn't even know about this.
Zhong Xiaomei's expression was too obvious, she was eloquent just now, but she couldn't speak a word for a long time when he asked her.
Not to mention ten years ago, even now 20 yuan can buy a lot of things. They took the money away, abused other people's children, and made Xue Hai almost die.Now that he still has the face to ask for money, no one can see it.
Wang Mazi said: "You are very responsive."
"What do you think? It's not enough for people to give up." Feng Shouyi also said.
Xue Sanlin said to Zhong Xiaomei: "Where's the money?" He only knew that his sister had left an oil bottle, but he didn't even know that he had left a sum of money.
Zhong Xiaomei was ambiguous about this matter: "Anyway, they are raising Xue Haihua, don't you know how much money it costs to raise children?"
As soon as the words fell, even the village chief couldn't listen anymore: "What did you spend?" Xue Hai was poorly fed and poorly dressed. As far as they raised children, the ten catty subsidy given by the village could not be spent, let alone This huge sum was made ten years ago.
Liu Gongdao: "Originally I came to look for the child. If you treat him kindly, I will give you a sum of money. But now..." He approached Xue Sanlin. Xue Sanlin, a farmer, was not afraid of him at all. Gong, Liu Gong punched him in the chest.
The fist came so suddenly, no one expected that Xue Sanlin was caught off guard and was beaten so hard that he couldn't breathe.He took several steps back and fell down: "You are fucking sick..."
He Changfeng slapped him on the head: "This is the village committee, who are you with?" Something cursing.
Both of them wanted to extract some oil from Xue Hai's father, but the oil was not squeezed out, but they were scolded and beaten again, and even offended the village chief.
They didn't seem to give up, but He Jianguo no longer gave them a chance.He opened the door and let the two of them out.
Wang Mazi and the other village officials said, "I'm going out for a walk!" In fact, they wanted to tell everyone what they did.What do you mean by eating out of the household? How can you be like this from relatives? I had a bad impression of him and his wife. Now that this happened, they would feel panicked if they didn't expose them in front of the folks!
As soon as they left, Liu Gong patted Xue Hai's head and said, "Xiao Hai will not be afraid if Dad is here."
Xue Hai nodded heavily, seeing his father clean up the uncle and aunt who bullied him, he became more intimate with Liu Gong.
Seeing how warm they are, Bai Qiu and He Changfeng also want to go out so that they can communicate with each other.
But Xue Hai is a sensitive child, he felt it immediately: "Brother Xiaobai."
Liu Gong said: "Bai Qiu don't leave, there is also the village head. I have something to tell you two."
He Jianguo saw that there was nothing wrong with him here, so he left the house.At the moment, only Xue Hai, Liu Gong, Bai Qiu and He Changfeng are left in the village committee.
Liu Gong said, "Thank you both." One is his son's savior, and the other is his son's most dependent brother Xiaobai.
Liu Gong took out a stack of bills from his messenger bag, all of which were brand new ten-yuan bills.Said: "Here is 2000 yuan, you take it."
To Bai Qiu, ten yuan is a lot of money, and two thousand sounds like an astronomical figure.Bai Qiu said: "No...we can't have it!"
Liu Gongdao: "Take it, I don't know how to repay your kindness to the child, so I can only give you the most vulgar thing." He paused and said: "I will go with the child to worship his mother, Then go back to Shanghai as a sleeper."
When Xue Hai communicated with his father just now, he had already decided to go back to Shanghai with him, but he was still a little nervous when he heard his words: "Dad, can Brother Xiaobai go with us?"
Liu Gong said: "Brother Xiaobai has something else to do, so he can't go with us. But if Brother Xiaobai comes to Shanghai in the future, he can come and play with you!" Then he said to Bai Qiu: "I have a chance to come to Shanghai to entertain you."
Bai Qiu said: "Yes."
He Changfeng knew Liu Gong's gratitude, but he didn't want this huge sum of money, so he said, "You should keep this money for Xue Hai."
Liu Gongdao: "To be honest, I am earning well now. These are a year's salary for me. I can't repay your friendship to Xue Hai. If you don't accept this money, my son will not agree. In the future I am confident that I can raise the child well, so don't refuse. Xiao Hai calls you elder brothers, so I will entrust you to be your elders once, take it."
Liu Gong found his son today and quarreled with the members of Xue's family. His emotions were too exhausted, and now his face was a little tired.
Bai Qiu said: "Then we will accompany you to worship your aunt."
Liu Gongdao: "Well, if his mother has a spirit in heaven, she will also be grateful to you."
Get up and plan to finish the worship, and leave here.
Xue Hai suddenly said: "Dad, brother Xiaobai gave me a copybook and taught me how to write, can we give him some books too."
Liu Gong was shocked by his father, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and said: "Son, call again." His voice was trembling slightly!
Xue Hai flinched back a bit after being teased by him, and refused to yell again.
No matter what, as long as the child can call him dad, it is good news. He was a little tired just now, but Xue Hai called dad to give him enough electricity again, and looked at Bai Qiu with full energy: "What kind of books do you like?" He can't do anything else, but when it comes to sending and looking for books, his identity has a natural advantage, but there are too many categories of books.
Seeing this is a rare opportunity, Bai Qiu said, "I want to find a book on algebra."
"Oh?" Now Liu Gong became more interested: "Have you studied in this area?" Isn't this a coincidence.
Bai Qiu said: "I don't have much research, I just want to do the exercises and look at the formulas, I think it's quite interesting."
Liu Gong said: "Okay, I'll go back and find some for you. If you study algebra well, you will definitely be able to use it." These words were very meaningful, but he didn't say too much.
"Yes." Bai Qiu nodded solemnly.
The four of them came out together, and He Jianguo said to Liu Gong, "I told the people in Daniu Village that they will drive you back to the county with a tractor. It won't be cold in the front." This was already the best condition he could find. , I really can't find a car in the countryside.
Liu Gong said: "It's already very good." He has seen more difficult environments than this in places far away from human habitation in the past ten years, so he is already very good.
The village chief went with them and cleaned the cemetery.Then he simply packed Xue Hai's things, and he was about to leave.
Xue Hai was still very strong just now, but when he really wanted to say goodbye, he couldn't restrain himself. He looked at Bai Qiu and said, "Brother Xiaobai...brother."
Bai Qiu said: "Good boy, go to Shanghai and study hard."
Xue Hai lay on Bai Qiu's back and cried loudly. Xue Hai is a reserved person, and it is rare to see him cry like this.
Liu Gong said to his son, "You can write to brother Xiaobai!"
Xue Hai raised his face and said, "Then will you write me back?" He looked over with tears in his eyes.
Bai Qiu said: "Yes."
Xue Hai heard it, and then solemnly stretched out a little finger: "Let's pull the hook."
Bai Qiu tugged at him.
Knowing that he could get in touch with Bai Qiu, Xue Hai calmed down a bit.The tractor is already waiting outside.Xue Hai doesn't have many things, he has his change of clothes, the pen, notebook and copybook that Bai Qiu gave him are all his treasures.Before leaving, Bai Qiu gave Xue Hai all the oranges.
Xue Hai held the orange and said, "Brother Xiaobai, brother Changfeng, goodbye."
The two raised their hands towards him.
At this moment, He Xiaosan and He Xiaosi didn't know where they got the news, and ran over crying: "Xue Hai, don't go..."
Lan Guiying caught up with them and hugged the two cubs: "Your brother Xue Hai has found his father and wants to reunite with him." But the children were unwilling, and they cried because they had been in love for so long.
Xue Hai's tears were provoked again, and he waved his hand: "Goodbye."
Lan Guiying couldn't control the two children alone, but fortunately He Changfeng was there.Easily subdued the two cubs, and then carried them back.
The tractor started quickly, sending out billows of smoke.Bai Qiu said: "Goodbye."
Most of Xue Hai stretched out the window and waved at Bai Qiu: "Write a letter, write a letter."
"Okay." Bai Qiu replied loudly.
The speed of the tractor was still very fast, until no one could see it, Xue Hai looked away reluctantly: "I will miss you." His voice was so small that he could hardly hear it...
Bai Qiu didn't cry when Xue Hai left, but his eyes were red when he really walked away with the tractor.
After He Changfeng sent the child off, when he came back to comfort Bai Qiu, he couldn't find anyone.
Bai Qiu sat alone on the mountain bag and cried.
He really regards Xue Hai as his younger brother, and it's actually good that he left with his father. Xue Hai has always been looking forward to having his own home, and finally he doesn't have to depend on others.But the tears can't be stopped, it seems that after getting along for such a long time, they have already developed feelings.
"What's wrong?" Came a clear and deep voice.
Bai Qiu was buried in tears, when he heard someone, he wiped his eyes with his sleeve indiscriminately.He raised his head and saw that it was Chen Xinghe.
Chen Xinghe was wearing a shirt, a sweater vest, and shiny black leather shoes, just like a rich young man who just walked out of an old Shanghai dance hall.
"It's nothing." Bai Qiu and Chen Xinghe had known each other for a short time, so they spoke very politely.
Chen Xinghe said: "Because Xue Hai left?" The news was spread all over the village, saying that he was promising, not because he abandoned his wife, but because he had difficulties, even the leaders were polite to him.Anyway, there are all kinds of rumors.Among them, the most ominous rumor is the story about Uncle Xue Hai being extinct.
The villagers did not spit on them when they heard it.
Bai Qiu hummed, feeling uninspired.
Chen Xinghe was a little curious: "Are you so nice to everyone?" In fact, Bai Qiu and him are completely different kinds of people.
Bai Qiu said: "Why do you say that?"
Chen Xinghe said: "Because I think you are very kind to the little village chief, and you are also very kind to everyone. I am just puzzled." He paused and said: "Like me, I can't, I can only be kind to some people. "
"Oh." Bai Qiu was always depressed.
Chen Xinghe said: "I heard that when you went to the village chief's house, everyone envied you and thought you were lucky. In fact, the village chief's family took advantage. You are an intellectual, unlike them. They are the ones who favored you That's right."
Bai Qiu frowned slightly: "There's nothing high to climb, the village chief is a very nice person and very responsible to the village."
"But you don't have to be responsible for spending your youth with them. Dedication is of course noble, but I don't know how many more years to dedicate. At that time, the enthusiasm will also fade away. If you want to leave, maybe I can help." Chen Xinghe said lightly.Life in the village is monotonous and boring.Moreover, the daily farm work is very heavy for some urbanites who have never done it before, and this is not counting spring plowing and autumn harvesting.
Bai Qiu said: "No need." Actually what Chen Xinghe said was to leave secretly.Generally, villages are backward and remote.Some are even in the mountains, and once you're there, you want to leave!I heard that a few years ago there were really educated youths who couldn't bear to leave by themselves.
It’s okay to suffer a little bit, but what everyone is afraid of is that they will not see the hope of returning to the city.But he knew that the college entrance examination would be two years later. Not only could he return to the city, but he could also go to university. The first batch of college students was the talent that all units were vying for. It was a very bright future.
What's more, he doesn't feel that the village is suffering.
Bai Qiu was not surprised that Chen Xinghe said this, He Changfeng said before that he was different from the educated youth and would go back early.He is really just a passer-by in the country.
Chen Xinghe said: "I'm sorry, it's a bit shallow, but I really want to be friends with you, and I don't want to make you so tired. Just pretend that I didn't say those words just now."
"It's okay, but don't tell others those words again!" He knows the future development, but others don't. If someone is really moved by him and runs away, he will be relieved for a while.But why wait for the file to be sent back to the country of origin, leaving a black stain forever?
"Understood, team leader." Chen Xinghe chuckled lightly.Then he took out a silver harmonica from his pocket and wiped it with a handkerchief. It was very beautiful and the shell was shiny.
"Can you play the harmonica?"
"Well, I can play whatever you want to hear." Chen Xinghe said with a smile, his black pupils were very deep, and he was inexplicably affectionate when looking at people.
"No need." Bai Qiu said.
Chen Xinghe said: "Then let me sing for you." He seemed to be coaxing Bai Qiu.
He was very handsome playing the accordion at that poetry meeting, but he hadn't heard him sing yet: "You like that song."
"Then let's sing "Evening in the Suburbs of Moscow." He liked these old Soviet songs.
"Yeah." Bai Qiu looked at him.
Chen Xinghe opened his mouth slowly: "In the middle of the night, the garden is quiet everywhere, and the leaves are no longer rustling. The night is so beautiful, so fascinating, and such a quiet night..." He used to be the host of the radio station, and his voice was very pleasant , very ear-catching when singing.His voice is deep and sexy, accompanied by beautiful lyrics and melody, like a satiated dream, which can make people forget their sorrows in an instant.
After he finished singing, Bai Qiu couldn't get enough of it: "It sounds good."
"If you like..."
Before he finished speaking, Huang Xiao came up to him and said, "Hey, what are you doing?" He looked at the two of them from a distance, mainly because Chen Xinghe's particularly stylish appearance was so outstanding that he was so outstanding among the crowd. You can see it at a glance.
Bai Qiu was quite depressed just now, but he was healed by the music, and said: "He sings very well."
Huang Xiao said: "You'd better hide away, the little village head was looking for you just now."
When Bai Qiu heard this, he immediately got up and asked, "Where is it?"
Huang Xiao said: "At the entrance of the village."
"Then I may have something to do with you, so I'll leave first." Then he said to Chen Xinghe with a smile: "Singer, I'll hear you sing next time."
Chen Xinghe said: "Yes."
Bai Qiu left quickly, not like she was crying alone just now.
Huang Xiao has been a little bit attached to Chen Xinghe recently, now he looks at the delicate and beautiful harmonica in his hand, his eyes are full of envy, he also bought a plastic one for [-] yuan when he was young, it is completely incomparable with this one.Before Chen Xinghe came to the village, he didn't know that there was such a big gap between people.
"Can you play the harmonica?"
Chen Xinghe stood up and said, "No."
Huang Xiao was so choked that he didn't know what to say.
Chen Xinghe said: "Let's go, go back to the Educated Youth Office."
"Oh oh oh." Huang Xiao hurriedly followed.
……
Bai Qiu saw He Changfeng on the way back. He Changfeng looked at his red eye circles and said without saying a word of comfort, "Take you to a place for barbecue."
"Huh?" Bai Qiu was curious.
He Changfeng took his hand and said, "I've never taken anyone else there, I discovered it by accident."
"Where is there a barbecue?" Bai Qiu just finished crying, and now he happened to be hungry.
He Changfeng said: "Let's go. I'm ready and I'll wait for you to go." Then he took Bai Qiu all the way to a deserted old house in the back mountain. No one lived in it for many years and half collapsed .
He Changfeng had already built a small stove with stones, and there was a fire in it. There were two eggs, a sausage, steamed buns from home, sweet potatoes, and two slaughtered frogs!
Put on a stick and it's ready to bake.
The author has something to say: Preparation: Song excerpt "Night in the Suburbs of Moscow" Composer: Solovyov Lyricist: Madusovsky Chinese lyrics translation: Xue Fan
Bai Qiu's words pierced his heart, and Xue Hai burst into tears.
He had no mother since he was a child, his grandma and uncle called him a nemesis, and the children at home also bullied him.At that time, he had imagined that one day his father would come to him and tell him that he was not unwanted!
Xue Hai's life in Xue's house was not good. When he was pushed down the creek by his uncle's younger brother, his uncle was beside him, and he thought it was a fight between children!Afterwards, he even beat him up, saying that he was very angry, and threatened others by jumping into the river after saying a few words.
That day was the most helpless day for him, he was disgusted and rejected, and later Brother Bai Qiu said he was willing to share half of his food.The village chief asked him to live at home, and the He family became the most comfortable place for him since he was a child.
His father was not there when he was most difficult, but now that life is better, his father came and said he wanted to go home with him.
If he had appeared half a year earlier, Xue Hai would have gone with him and left the Xue family without hesitation, but his life is okay now, and he dare not let him abandon his current life.
His uncle and aunt kept saying that his father had already married another person and had children.
What if it's true.
As soon as Xue Hai cried, Bai Qiu took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears.
It made Bai Qiu's eyes turn red, and he also missed his father.
Liu Gong came back this time to take over his wife and children to live a good life. He never thought that his wife would leave behind such a son after dying of dystocia. Life is very difficult without the protection of his parents. Seeing his son not far away from him, But he dared not go over.
Ten years ago, he left without saying goodbye, because he was sorry for the two of them.
In the past ten years, he has worked harder than anyone else, and he wanted to finish the project as soon as possible and go home for reunion, but unfortunately, it still happened. Seeing his son cry, he, a man in his 30s, also cried.
But the people present looked at the two of them and were silent.
Bai Qiu comforted Xue Hai for a while, and then the little guy gradually stopped crying, but his hands kept embracing Bai Qiu from behind, obviously his own father was right in front of him, but only Bai Qiu could give him a sense of security.
Secretary Feng had a good impression of Bai Qiu before, but after seeing Xue Hai's actions, he had a higher opinion of Bai Qiu in his heart.Whoever is kind to him is like a mirror, it can be seen that Bai Qiu has really done his job on weekdays.
Bai Qiu said to Liu Gong: "This time, where are you going to take Xue Hai?"
"I want to take him back to Shanghai. Our hometown is in Shanghai." Liu Gong was also an educated youth who was sent down. After calculating for the past ten years, he has not been reunited with his wife and children, nor has he returned home. He has been building the motherland in remote places. Now that the project is complete, he can finally go back.
Bai Qiu said: "Xue Hai is a bit sensitive. Since he called me Little Brother Bai, I'll take the liberty to ask him, do you still have a home outside?"
Liu Gong attaches great importance to Bai Qiu, seeing his son relying on him so much, Bai Qiu's actions may affect whether his son can go back.
Seriously, he said to Bai Qiu: "I have been thinking about their wives all these years, and I came back immediately after I got the approval from the superior. I am just such a son. Today, I will say in front of Secretary Feng and Village Chief He that I owe them Damn, I will guard him for the rest of my life, and I will never look for another woman in the future!"
The people present did not know his identity, but Secretary Feng knew that Liu Gong was not an ordinary person.He is a chief engineer in his 30s, and he can at least be a principal in college. He still has 40 to [-] years left in the rest of his life. These words really hold a lot of weight!
Xue Hai is precocious and knows the meaning of this sentence.Inexplicably also a little closer.He whispered, "Can I go to school in the future?"
He likes Bai Qiu very much, and has always admired Bai Qiu's ability to write and count, but if he is dependent on others, others have no obligation to support him in school.He had no choice but to keep his thoughts in his heart, and seeing his father's sincere expression, he couldn't help asking.
It was the first time Xue Hai talked to him when he came in. Although he didn't call him dad, it was enough to make him excited, and said, "Yes, we will go to the best school, and you can learn whatever you want."
Xue Hai actually longs to have a family, but he is reluctant to part with Bai Qiu.
For children who grow up in the dark, even a little bit of light is enough to make them yearn for it, and Bai Qiu is that beam of light.
Xue Hai kept pulling Bai Qiu's clothes, his chest heaved and heaved, he looked up at Bai Qiu, then at his father, if only he could take brother Xiaobai away.
He Jianguo could see that Xue Hai did not reject his father, and Liu Gong was also a bit shy, so neither father nor son knew how to get along with each other.He said: "Xiaobai, tell Liu Gong what characters Xue Hai knows. This kid is so smart... Usually Xiaobai teaches him to write, and the children's writing is more correct than adults."
Liu Gong looked at He Jianguo gratefully, knowing that this was an opportunity for the two of them.A little excited and a little nervous, he said, "Xiaobai, tell me."
Bai Qiu praised Xue Hai for being smart and sensible.
Xiao Xue Hai's ears turned red on the spot, and he was happy and a little embarrassed to be praised by Brother Xiaobai in front of so many people: "It's not as good as he said."
Liu Gong said: "This kid is a quick learner, just follow his mother."
When Xue Hai heard this, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "What kind of person is my mother?" His mother gave birth to a child before she was married, and she was humiliated by the Xue family, and no one mentioned her.He couldn't find any words about his mother. Children always have fantasies about their mothers, and they really want to know.
Liu Gong immediately started talking.
Xue Hai listened, after going back and forth like this, Xue Hai became close to his father.
Liu Gong called Xue Hai to come to him, the little guy ran over, the father and son hugged each other, and wiped their tears for a while, Xue Hai finally let go and said to go with him.
Liu Gong couldn't be happier.He said: "Thank you, Secretary Feng, for taking time out of his busy schedule to come back with me, thank the village head for taking care of my son, and thank you Bai Qiu."
They watched Xue Hai find his father and have a sheltered home in the future, and they were all very happy for him.
Secretary Feng even smiled and said: "The sufferings of the past are over, we have to look forward."
"Correct."
Liu Gong was just about to thank Bai Qiu, when he heard a commotion outside, saying: "Liu, come out, you are a broken shoe, you dare to come back, I will arrest you and shoot you." It was a woman's voice that was harsh, and then someone rushed in up.
The person who came was none other than Xue Hai's aunt Zhong Xiaomei. When she was at home, she heard that Xue Hai's father had returned with money.On the spot, the mind was active. Xue Hai grew up in his house, and now he wants to pick up the child when he comes back, so he feels a bit embarrassed.When I walked nearby, I saw a car parked at the gate of the village committee, and my eyes were blinded.
How did she know that the top leader in the county was also in the house, she just thought it was Xue Hai's father who had returned home in good clothes.
The villagers outside were also stunned. Is Zhong Xiaomei crazy?There is also the village head inside, the village head loves to save face in front of so many people and give him good fruit if he does not get off the stage, he said immediately: "Xue Sanlin, take care of your mother-in-law."
Xue Sanlin was urged by everyone, and immediately stood up and went into the house. It wasn't that the whole family refused to enter the house. He just wanted to rush in to ask Xue Hai's father for money, but was stopped by the surrounding villagers. Now his wife, Sapo, rushed up , exactly what he wanted.
Zhong Xiaomei went in and saw that it was the educated youth back then. Just as she was about to speak, she saw He Jianguo's face was as black as charcoal: "This is the village committee, not a place for you to mess around. Go back."
Zhong Xiaomei was quite afraid of the village chief, but what a great opportunity to see him come to pick up the child.At this time, Xue Sanlin came, with his wife around, he pretended to be a good person, and said: "I'm sorry, village chief, my mother-in-law is not sensible, don't be as sensible as a woman!" That's what he said, but His eyes were fixed on Liu Gong.
"Get lost." He Jianguo said.
He Changfeng went straight over, pulled the two of them and threw them out.Then the door closed.The folks in the village outside are watching.
Xue Sanlin's face turned red instantly, it was the first time for him to be so ashamed.
He Jianguo quickly apologized to Secretary Feng: "I'm sorry, these two are out of their minds."
Secretary Feng waved his hand, needless to say, he knew about it.
As the village chief, He Jianguo had a lot of business, so he could tell what the two were thinking at a glance, and he was afraid that they would not be able to get rid of this idea for a while, or that they would turn around and start a fight.
Liu Gong also knew the atmosphere in the village, besides, he also had an account to settle with his family.I didn't want to waste Secretary Feng's precious time with this trivial matter, and said: "Secretary Feng, Xue Hai and I have to pay homage to his mother, so you can go and do other things. I will remember this favor!"
Secretary Feng was happy when he heard that Liu Gong is a high-level talent reserved by the state. With his words, his work was not in vain. Don't you need to call the driver to pick you up?"
Liu Gong said: "No need."
He Jianguo hurriedly said at this moment: "Secretary Feng, don't worry, I'm here."
Secretary Feng nodded.Getting up to leave, he saw Bai Qiu stop from the corner of his eye. He was not prepared this time, so he picked up the pen and said, "Little Comrade Bai Qiu, you are brave enough to take care of others, this pen rewards you, and you will continue to work hard in the future! Learn from Lei Feng Good role model!"
"Thank you, leader, I will." Bai Qiu took the pen from him with both hands. There are not only He Changfeng and He Jianguo in the room, but also Wang Mazi, Feng Shouyi and other cadres. They just have no sense of presence in the corner. That's all.
Now seeing Bai Qiu getting the rewards from the leader, everyone is very jealous. This is not an ordinary pen. It represents the recognition of the leader. Thinking about it, they don't even have the qualification to talk to the leader. Bai Qiu is a young man. Young people can still get this, really envious!
He Jianguo and his son He Changfeng sent him out.
Secretary Feng came out and drove away in a car.
As soon as he left, the atmosphere of the entire village committee suddenly became lighter, and it became less restrained.
Liu Gong stroked his son's hair and said, "How do they treat you? You tell Dad, don't be afraid, Dad will support you."
These words felt so secure, Xue Hai said it outright.
Liu Gong knew that his son must have had a bad life, but when he heard the child say it himself, his heart felt as if he was gouging out his flesh with the tip of a knife.
At this time, Zhong Xiaomei and her uncle came back again.
Although he was afraid of the village chief, he still said: "Village chief, this is a matter of our own family."
Liu Gong put his arms around his son, and said, "That's just right, I also have something to say." He had been in an agitated state just now, but now his face turned cold, and he felt a sense of dread.
Zhong Xiaomei rolled her eyes, and said, "I thought that car belonged to you, but I didn't expect it to be borrowed for appearance." Her words were full of disdain. I feel that I can get less money, and I look down on him even more.As for the terrifying aura on his body, in the eyes of the couple, it was just a pretense.
Liu Gongdao: "What are you looking for me for?"
"What are you doing?" Zhong Xiaomei said: "You heartless man, you made my sister's belly bigger and then patted your ass and left. Now you still want a child, why do you think about beautiful things? Today we are here to talk to you To settle the account ten years ago."
As soon as Zhong Xiaomei finished speaking, Xue Sanlin rushed up to grab his neck.
Kicked aside by He Jianguo, he was so angry that he even scolded someone: "This is the village committee, not a place for you to mess around. If you do something in front of me again, I will take your skin off." Don't look at He Jianguo. Jianguo is not young this year, but he fought in the army before.For a farmer like Xue Sanlin, he played three games as if he was playing.
Xue Sanlin was in pain from being kicked, his arrogance just now disappeared, he shrank his neck and dared not speak.
Zhong Xiaomei said: "Village Chief, what are you doing?"
He Changfeng said: "My dad told you to talk, don't do anything!" He also became a little angry, and when he looked at the two of them, he felt that the wind was leaking from their necks.
Liu Gongdao: "At the beginning, I was sorry for his mother, but why did you abuse Xue Hai? He is still so young, how could you do it?"
Zhong Xiaomei said: "Hey, he told you that we abused him, but he was really a black-hearted bastard. We raised him with shit and piss. You think your son can grow up by drinking dew. Not only did he not remember our kindness, but he also said that we abused him. You didn’t pay any food expenses, what are you doing here?”
Now Wang Mazi couldn't listen anymore, Zhong Xiaomei's ability to open her eyes and tell lies is not small, Wang Mazi said: "Xue Hai is your nephew, isn't it? Your sister gave you such a son, why do you have the face to say that?" What about this? Every family in the village is in a difficult situation, since he was born, he was given ten catties of food a month, you forgot."
Where can a child eat ten catties of food, and if there is more, they will be subsidized. Later, when Xue Hai grew up, he would supplement thirty catties a month.Obviously, the village contributed money and they contributed people, but now it is their credit.
Zhong Xiaomei completely ignored Wang Mazi's words, and clung to one thing, "If it weren't for you, a bad guy, who ruined people, my sister-in-law might still be alive now. What do you think about this?" Let's do it." She just came to ask for money.
Bai Qiu said beside him: "At the beginning, the village head rescued Xue Hai from the river. Didn't you say that you would ignore Xue Hai in the future, and whoever loves to support him? From now on, he will not care about his life or death. Why is it here again?"
Bai Qiu's tone was calm, but he tore off their fig leaf. Why did they come again? It's not because they want money.
When Liu Gong heard that his son was almost dead, he became more and more emotional, and said, "Let me ask you, where did the fucking 20 yuan go?"
As soon as she said a word, Zhong Xiaomei, who was flaunting her might just now, now had a stiff expression on her face.
Xue Sanlin was puzzled and asked, "What money?"
Liu Gong stared at Zhong Xiaomei and said, "Ask her." Then he said to everyone present: "At the beginning, I telegraphed to my family that I was going to get married. The family sent over the money they had saved all their lives, and gave her a total of 23 yuan. . Later, I was called to work in other places because of some things, and the child’s mother disappeared. What about the money? Is it not enough to support the child?”
Ten years ago, 20 yuan was much more than it is now. Xue Hai's mother went, and they hid the money.It is really unreasonable to come here now and ask for kindness and money.
Zhong Xiaomei didn't expect him to mention this, she took the money.At that time, it was very prosperous for a while, and it was filled in her own small coffers.Xue Sanlin didn't even know about this.
Zhong Xiaomei's expression was too obvious, she was eloquent just now, but she couldn't speak a word for a long time when he asked her.
Not to mention ten years ago, even now 20 yuan can buy a lot of things. They took the money away, abused other people's children, and made Xue Hai almost die.Now that he still has the face to ask for money, no one can see it.
Wang Mazi said: "You are very responsive."
"What do you think? It's not enough for people to give up." Feng Shouyi also said.
Xue Sanlin said to Zhong Xiaomei: "Where's the money?" He only knew that his sister had left an oil bottle, but he didn't even know that he had left a sum of money.
Zhong Xiaomei was ambiguous about this matter: "Anyway, they are raising Xue Haihua, don't you know how much money it costs to raise children?"
As soon as the words fell, even the village chief couldn't listen anymore: "What did you spend?" Xue Hai was poorly fed and poorly dressed. As far as they raised children, the ten catty subsidy given by the village could not be spent, let alone This huge sum was made ten years ago.
Liu Gongdao: "Originally I came to look for the child. If you treat him kindly, I will give you a sum of money. But now..." He approached Xue Sanlin. Xue Sanlin, a farmer, was not afraid of him at all. Gong, Liu Gong punched him in the chest.
The fist came so suddenly, no one expected that Xue Sanlin was caught off guard and was beaten so hard that he couldn't breathe.He took several steps back and fell down: "You are fucking sick..."
He Changfeng slapped him on the head: "This is the village committee, who are you with?" Something cursing.
Both of them wanted to extract some oil from Xue Hai's father, but the oil was not squeezed out, but they were scolded and beaten again, and even offended the village chief.
They didn't seem to give up, but He Jianguo no longer gave them a chance.He opened the door and let the two of them out.
Wang Mazi and the other village officials said, "I'm going out for a walk!" In fact, they wanted to tell everyone what they did.What do you mean by eating out of the household? How can you be like this from relatives? I had a bad impression of him and his wife. Now that this happened, they would feel panicked if they didn't expose them in front of the folks!
As soon as they left, Liu Gong patted Xue Hai's head and said, "Xiao Hai will not be afraid if Dad is here."
Xue Hai nodded heavily, seeing his father clean up the uncle and aunt who bullied him, he became more intimate with Liu Gong.
Seeing how warm they are, Bai Qiu and He Changfeng also want to go out so that they can communicate with each other.
But Xue Hai is a sensitive child, he felt it immediately: "Brother Xiaobai."
Liu Gong said: "Bai Qiu don't leave, there is also the village head. I have something to tell you two."
He Jianguo saw that there was nothing wrong with him here, so he left the house.At the moment, only Xue Hai, Liu Gong, Bai Qiu and He Changfeng are left in the village committee.
Liu Gong said, "Thank you both." One is his son's savior, and the other is his son's most dependent brother Xiaobai.
Liu Gong took out a stack of bills from his messenger bag, all of which were brand new ten-yuan bills.Said: "Here is 2000 yuan, you take it."
To Bai Qiu, ten yuan is a lot of money, and two thousand sounds like an astronomical figure.Bai Qiu said: "No...we can't have it!"
Liu Gongdao: "Take it, I don't know how to repay your kindness to the child, so I can only give you the most vulgar thing." He paused and said: "I will go with the child to worship his mother, Then go back to Shanghai as a sleeper."
When Xue Hai communicated with his father just now, he had already decided to go back to Shanghai with him, but he was still a little nervous when he heard his words: "Dad, can Brother Xiaobai go with us?"
Liu Gong said: "Brother Xiaobai has something else to do, so he can't go with us. But if Brother Xiaobai comes to Shanghai in the future, he can come and play with you!" Then he said to Bai Qiu: "I have a chance to come to Shanghai to entertain you."
Bai Qiu said: "Yes."
He Changfeng knew Liu Gong's gratitude, but he didn't want this huge sum of money, so he said, "You should keep this money for Xue Hai."
Liu Gongdao: "To be honest, I am earning well now. These are a year's salary for me. I can't repay your friendship to Xue Hai. If you don't accept this money, my son will not agree. In the future I am confident that I can raise the child well, so don't refuse. Xiao Hai calls you elder brothers, so I will entrust you to be your elders once, take it."
Liu Gong found his son today and quarreled with the members of Xue's family. His emotions were too exhausted, and now his face was a little tired.
Bai Qiu said: "Then we will accompany you to worship your aunt."
Liu Gongdao: "Well, if his mother has a spirit in heaven, she will also be grateful to you."
Get up and plan to finish the worship, and leave here.
Xue Hai suddenly said: "Dad, brother Xiaobai gave me a copybook and taught me how to write, can we give him some books too."
Liu Gong was shocked by his father, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and said: "Son, call again." His voice was trembling slightly!
Xue Hai flinched back a bit after being teased by him, and refused to yell again.
No matter what, as long as the child can call him dad, it is good news. He was a little tired just now, but Xue Hai called dad to give him enough electricity again, and looked at Bai Qiu with full energy: "What kind of books do you like?" He can't do anything else, but when it comes to sending and looking for books, his identity has a natural advantage, but there are too many categories of books.
Seeing this is a rare opportunity, Bai Qiu said, "I want to find a book on algebra."
"Oh?" Now Liu Gong became more interested: "Have you studied in this area?" Isn't this a coincidence.
Bai Qiu said: "I don't have much research, I just want to do the exercises and look at the formulas, I think it's quite interesting."
Liu Gong said: "Okay, I'll go back and find some for you. If you study algebra well, you will definitely be able to use it." These words were very meaningful, but he didn't say too much.
"Yes." Bai Qiu nodded solemnly.
The four of them came out together, and He Jianguo said to Liu Gong, "I told the people in Daniu Village that they will drive you back to the county with a tractor. It won't be cold in the front." This was already the best condition he could find. , I really can't find a car in the countryside.
Liu Gong said: "It's already very good." He has seen more difficult environments than this in places far away from human habitation in the past ten years, so he is already very good.
The village chief went with them and cleaned the cemetery.Then he simply packed Xue Hai's things, and he was about to leave.
Xue Hai was still very strong just now, but when he really wanted to say goodbye, he couldn't restrain himself. He looked at Bai Qiu and said, "Brother Xiaobai...brother."
Bai Qiu said: "Good boy, go to Shanghai and study hard."
Xue Hai lay on Bai Qiu's back and cried loudly. Xue Hai is a reserved person, and it is rare to see him cry like this.
Liu Gong said to his son, "You can write to brother Xiaobai!"
Xue Hai raised his face and said, "Then will you write me back?" He looked over with tears in his eyes.
Bai Qiu said: "Yes."
Xue Hai heard it, and then solemnly stretched out a little finger: "Let's pull the hook."
Bai Qiu tugged at him.
Knowing that he could get in touch with Bai Qiu, Xue Hai calmed down a bit.The tractor is already waiting outside.Xue Hai doesn't have many things, he has his change of clothes, the pen, notebook and copybook that Bai Qiu gave him are all his treasures.Before leaving, Bai Qiu gave Xue Hai all the oranges.
Xue Hai held the orange and said, "Brother Xiaobai, brother Changfeng, goodbye."
The two raised their hands towards him.
At this moment, He Xiaosan and He Xiaosi didn't know where they got the news, and ran over crying: "Xue Hai, don't go..."
Lan Guiying caught up with them and hugged the two cubs: "Your brother Xue Hai has found his father and wants to reunite with him." But the children were unwilling, and they cried because they had been in love for so long.
Xue Hai's tears were provoked again, and he waved his hand: "Goodbye."
Lan Guiying couldn't control the two children alone, but fortunately He Changfeng was there.Easily subdued the two cubs, and then carried them back.
The tractor started quickly, sending out billows of smoke.Bai Qiu said: "Goodbye."
Most of Xue Hai stretched out the window and waved at Bai Qiu: "Write a letter, write a letter."
"Okay." Bai Qiu replied loudly.
The speed of the tractor was still very fast, until no one could see it, Xue Hai looked away reluctantly: "I will miss you." His voice was so small that he could hardly hear it...
Bai Qiu didn't cry when Xue Hai left, but his eyes were red when he really walked away with the tractor.
After He Changfeng sent the child off, when he came back to comfort Bai Qiu, he couldn't find anyone.
Bai Qiu sat alone on the mountain bag and cried.
He really regards Xue Hai as his younger brother, and it's actually good that he left with his father. Xue Hai has always been looking forward to having his own home, and finally he doesn't have to depend on others.But the tears can't be stopped, it seems that after getting along for such a long time, they have already developed feelings.
"What's wrong?" Came a clear and deep voice.
Bai Qiu was buried in tears, when he heard someone, he wiped his eyes with his sleeve indiscriminately.He raised his head and saw that it was Chen Xinghe.
Chen Xinghe was wearing a shirt, a sweater vest, and shiny black leather shoes, just like a rich young man who just walked out of an old Shanghai dance hall.
"It's nothing." Bai Qiu and Chen Xinghe had known each other for a short time, so they spoke very politely.
Chen Xinghe said: "Because Xue Hai left?" The news was spread all over the village, saying that he was promising, not because he abandoned his wife, but because he had difficulties, even the leaders were polite to him.Anyway, there are all kinds of rumors.Among them, the most ominous rumor is the story about Uncle Xue Hai being extinct.
The villagers did not spit on them when they heard it.
Bai Qiu hummed, feeling uninspired.
Chen Xinghe was a little curious: "Are you so nice to everyone?" In fact, Bai Qiu and him are completely different kinds of people.
Bai Qiu said: "Why do you say that?"
Chen Xinghe said: "Because I think you are very kind to the little village chief, and you are also very kind to everyone. I am just puzzled." He paused and said: "Like me, I can't, I can only be kind to some people. "
"Oh." Bai Qiu was always depressed.
Chen Xinghe said: "I heard that when you went to the village chief's house, everyone envied you and thought you were lucky. In fact, the village chief's family took advantage. You are an intellectual, unlike them. They are the ones who favored you That's right."
Bai Qiu frowned slightly: "There's nothing high to climb, the village chief is a very nice person and very responsible to the village."
"But you don't have to be responsible for spending your youth with them. Dedication is of course noble, but I don't know how many more years to dedicate. At that time, the enthusiasm will also fade away. If you want to leave, maybe I can help." Chen Xinghe said lightly.Life in the village is monotonous and boring.Moreover, the daily farm work is very heavy for some urbanites who have never done it before, and this is not counting spring plowing and autumn harvesting.
Bai Qiu said: "No need." Actually what Chen Xinghe said was to leave secretly.Generally, villages are backward and remote.Some are even in the mountains, and once you're there, you want to leave!I heard that a few years ago there were really educated youths who couldn't bear to leave by themselves.
It’s okay to suffer a little bit, but what everyone is afraid of is that they will not see the hope of returning to the city.But he knew that the college entrance examination would be two years later. Not only could he return to the city, but he could also go to university. The first batch of college students was the talent that all units were vying for. It was a very bright future.
What's more, he doesn't feel that the village is suffering.
Bai Qiu was not surprised that Chen Xinghe said this, He Changfeng said before that he was different from the educated youth and would go back early.He is really just a passer-by in the country.
Chen Xinghe said: "I'm sorry, it's a bit shallow, but I really want to be friends with you, and I don't want to make you so tired. Just pretend that I didn't say those words just now."
"It's okay, but don't tell others those words again!" He knows the future development, but others don't. If someone is really moved by him and runs away, he will be relieved for a while.But why wait for the file to be sent back to the country of origin, leaving a black stain forever?
"Understood, team leader." Chen Xinghe chuckled lightly.Then he took out a silver harmonica from his pocket and wiped it with a handkerchief. It was very beautiful and the shell was shiny.
"Can you play the harmonica?"
"Well, I can play whatever you want to hear." Chen Xinghe said with a smile, his black pupils were very deep, and he was inexplicably affectionate when looking at people.
"No need." Bai Qiu said.
Chen Xinghe said: "Then let me sing for you." He seemed to be coaxing Bai Qiu.
He was very handsome playing the accordion at that poetry meeting, but he hadn't heard him sing yet: "You like that song."
"Then let's sing "Evening in the Suburbs of Moscow." He liked these old Soviet songs.
"Yeah." Bai Qiu looked at him.
Chen Xinghe opened his mouth slowly: "In the middle of the night, the garden is quiet everywhere, and the leaves are no longer rustling. The night is so beautiful, so fascinating, and such a quiet night..." He used to be the host of the radio station, and his voice was very pleasant , very ear-catching when singing.His voice is deep and sexy, accompanied by beautiful lyrics and melody, like a satiated dream, which can make people forget their sorrows in an instant.
After he finished singing, Bai Qiu couldn't get enough of it: "It sounds good."
"If you like..."
Before he finished speaking, Huang Xiao came up to him and said, "Hey, what are you doing?" He looked at the two of them from a distance, mainly because Chen Xinghe's particularly stylish appearance was so outstanding that he was so outstanding among the crowd. You can see it at a glance.
Bai Qiu was quite depressed just now, but he was healed by the music, and said: "He sings very well."
Huang Xiao said: "You'd better hide away, the little village head was looking for you just now."
When Bai Qiu heard this, he immediately got up and asked, "Where is it?"
Huang Xiao said: "At the entrance of the village."
"Then I may have something to do with you, so I'll leave first." Then he said to Chen Xinghe with a smile: "Singer, I'll hear you sing next time."
Chen Xinghe said: "Yes."
Bai Qiu left quickly, not like she was crying alone just now.
Huang Xiao has been a little bit attached to Chen Xinghe recently, now he looks at the delicate and beautiful harmonica in his hand, his eyes are full of envy, he also bought a plastic one for [-] yuan when he was young, it is completely incomparable with this one.Before Chen Xinghe came to the village, he didn't know that there was such a big gap between people.
"Can you play the harmonica?"
Chen Xinghe stood up and said, "No."
Huang Xiao was so choked that he didn't know what to say.
Chen Xinghe said: "Let's go, go back to the Educated Youth Office."
"Oh oh oh." Huang Xiao hurriedly followed.
……
Bai Qiu saw He Changfeng on the way back. He Changfeng looked at his red eye circles and said without saying a word of comfort, "Take you to a place for barbecue."
"Huh?" Bai Qiu was curious.
He Changfeng took his hand and said, "I've never taken anyone else there, I discovered it by accident."
"Where is there a barbecue?" Bai Qiu just finished crying, and now he happened to be hungry.
He Changfeng said: "Let's go. I'm ready and I'll wait for you to go." Then he took Bai Qiu all the way to a deserted old house in the back mountain. No one lived in it for many years and half collapsed .
He Changfeng had already built a small stove with stones, and there was a fire in it. There were two eggs, a sausage, steamed buns from home, sweet potatoes, and two slaughtered frogs!
Put on a stick and it's ready to bake.
