Before the two big men left, my dad brought out two mahogany boxes from the house, and said with a smile that they were local products of Tongzi Town, and Secretary Dong and Director Feng should accept them no matter what, as a show of respect.The two of them naturally declined in every possible way, saying that we are all good brothers and family, and it is too natural to be so polite.Mayor Wang said that it is precisely because everyone is as close as brothers and like a family, so there is still a need for private friendship. Going to visit relatives, reciprocity has a cultural background of 5000 years in China. You can't lose face, and you still have to do your best.Anyway, I finally put things in the trunk of the Porsche.

I was standing next to Uncle Jun watching the adults "acting" with relish. Director Feng turned around and approached me, touched my face lightly with his bear paw, pulled me into his arms, and asked me with a smile , "Xiao Lei, do you want to go to the county with Uncle Feng? See what the school you are going to look like?"

"This?" Seriously, I wasn't mentally prepared at all, this fat bear, why is it so hard to get along with me today?In front of my dad, I couldn't be too presumptuous, so I just laughed and said, "Uncle Feng, next time, when I go to school, I will definitely visit you for my dad. Besides, if you don't know the place you live with I haven't found the place yet."

"Who said there is no place to live? You went to school in the county and lived at my house. Uncle and your father have been friends for many years, and his son is my son. I am your godfather. Your sister Mei is older than you One year old, she will be crazy to have you as a younger brother." Seeing that I didn't refute his face, Director Feng's face was flushed and blossomed.

Director Feng, is he crazy about his son, and robs him wherever he goes?

My dad saw that Director Feng liked me very much, so he smiled and smoothed things over, "Director Feng, if you really want my son, as long as he is willing, I will give it to you for free. Besides, it is him who can recognize you as a godfather." The blessings of this life. Leilei, I will have a godfather in the future, don't forget you poor father in the mountains."

My face was flushed with shame and resentment, but I tried my best not to let it burn my bloody heart to ashes.My mother looked at me distressedly, understanding the pain in my heart at this time, she sternly stared at my father, "What are you talking about? Our son, if you don't want me, I will still want it."

I don't even know what director Feng said in the end when he came close to my ear and kissed me on the cheek excitedly. Then he let go of my hand, got into the car, and left.

After the two big men left with Mayor Wang, my dad breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to me happily, "Son, you really gave Dad a face just now. Let Dad take a good look, ouch, I Your son is handsome, no wonder Director Feng is so fond of you. Don’t be angry with Dad, I’m just joking, I’m not willing to give you away.” After finishing speaking, my dad hugged me affectionately, and I broke away in disgust Go, without saying a word.

It just so happened that my mother came back, so I hurried up to meet her and said, "Mom, I'll go back to school and get some things first."

"Son, do you need my mother's help?" My mother also hoped that I could stay away from the small town. In her words, people living in small towns are mentally ill.

"No, just bring a few changes of clothes and toiletries, not many. Where's my uncle?" Seeing that Uncle Jun was not there, I felt a little uneasy.

"Maybe I can't get used to these officials and avoided them? You clean it up, I'll call him."

Just as I was talking, Uncle Jun came in from the courtyard and greeted my mother with a smile, "Sister-in-law, let me help Xiaolei. The living room must be in a mess, enough for you to keep busy for a while."

"Oh, I really forgot. These people will leave as soon as the disaster is over. Don't want to enter this door next time." My mother complained bitterly, and went to tidy up the living room by herself.

Uncle Jun followed me into my bedroom, which is no stranger to him. "You really don't want to live here?"

"Yeah, the town is haunted at night, crying or laughing, panicking." I stopped what I was doing and said angrily on purpose, "Uncle, you won't, you don't want to take me in?"

"How can it be, I'm afraid you won't be used to living with me." Uncle smiled, showing a row of neat white teeth, "You didn't sleep well at my place last night, didn't you?"

"I definitely didn't sleep well on the first night. You'll be fine after you get used to it." Thinking of last night, my face turned red. In fact, I didn't sleep well because I thought Uncle's big bed was not good, but because I wanted to lie in Uncle In my arms, so that my heart can be at ease.

All I have to bring is a backpack. Besides, summer is no better than winter, and I can live a day casually.Walking out of the bedroom, closing the door, and just about to go downstairs, I saw my dad blocking the stairs, his face covered with dust, "Leilei, you don't want to live at home either? Did your uncle Jun teach you?"

"Don't accuse the good man. Didn't you always want to send me away? I sent myself out, and your wish has been fulfilled, right?" When I saw my dad, I couldn't get angry at all, alas, all day long Thinking of him like this, in the end he ended up heartbroken.Regardless of whether the words I said in front of Director Feng during the day were jokes or not, I was completely disappointed in him anyway.Isn't it, what is it to be your own son, is it a thing?If you want to send it, you can send it. If you want it, you want it?It doesn't matter if I'm only a few years old, but I've grown up now, you still treat me like this, it's unacceptable to anyone.

"You, you, didn't dad tell you that he was just kidding with the chief, do you still take it seriously?" My dad also has a violent temper and is on fire, "If you dare to follow your uncle out of this house today, I will Break your legs."

Maybe it was because he drank too much alcohol at noon. In this emergency, Dad's face was flushed like a pig's liver, and his eyes were bloodshot, just like a bull devil.

My mother heard my dad and me yelling downstairs, so she stopped what she was doing quickly, walked upstairs, first grabbed my dad, and tried to persuade her, "Look, why are you so anxious about this matter? My son and I What's wrong with his uncle's residence, if you don't talk about it quietly, you can gain knowledge. Why don't you understand? Next time, drink less alcohol, make troubles, and not be afraid of being laughed at by the townspeople?"

"No, I just don't want my son to leave home. I love him in my heart. Look at him, he doesn't pay attention to me as a father at all." My father said with tears in his eyes, and uttered the truth after drinking , maybe, he is really reluctant to part with me. "Oh, let's go, let's go. Look at our family, a younger brother and a son don't want to sit happily with us, even if we just talk."

My dad shook his head and sighed, ignored me and stopped looking at me, and let my mom walk into the bedroom with his support.

After Dad fell asleep, I didn't mention leaving, and neither did Uncle Jun. We helped my mother clean the living room together.Since the younger brother Xiaopeng was on summer vacation, he spends almost every day with the children in the town.If Uncle Jun and I go away again, I really don't know how Mom can get through this afternoon alone.

The three of them sat in the living room and watched TV.My mother didn't look at the TV, but just looked at me with a smile, "Leilei, sit down."

I understood what Mom meant, and snuggled close to her, "Mom." I raised my face and saw a few glaring white hairs on her head, and I couldn't help feeling sore, and I lay my head on her lap, like when I was a child. That way, smiling at her sweetly, "Mom, you are so beautiful."

"Silly son, he can coax people." My mother's eyes smiled happily, like a flower, so beautiful, so beautiful.
