Let Wu Jialei drive back and take his parents back to prepare some things, while Xia Zekai and the others follow behind and return along the original road.

On the road, I saw many people driving towards this way. When someone saw him, they stopped the car, lowered the car window, and said hello to him happily.

Many people shouted: "Brother Kai, let's have a drink after we finish our work."

It was obvious that there were quite a few people in Xiajiazhuang who wanted to give him a sip of wine.

There are many people in the 'Xiajiazhuang WeChat Group' who had originally planned to travel, but now they have given up their plans.

There were also some people who had already set off, and they were still in the group, shouting to go back, and they must take this opportunity to get Xia Zekai drunk.

After turning onto the main road, Xia Zekai also said: "Daughter-in-law, do you feel cold? Why do I feel a bit chilly? Many people look at me with wrong eyes. These things are going to eat me."

"Well, if I chop you up and put it in the pot, can I get 100 kilograms of meat?" Luo Xiyun teased him.

Seeing Xia Zekai chasing her, Luo Xiyun ran forward quickly.

It was obvious at this time that it was very wise for her to wear flat sneakers. If she wore high heels, she would not be able to run.

Behind, Yatou and Qingyu covered their eyes, and the two sisters shouted: "Mom and dad are already so old, and they are still flirting, so they are not afraid of embarrassment."

Jing Ling said: "Sister, what do you know? This is the brilliance of dad. Look at mom, she didn't escape from his grasp."

"Get out of here, you little brat, you know nothing." Tongtong suddenly raised his leg and kicked him lightly on the butt, causing Jing Ling to run forward several steps.

But Jing Ling didn't care at all. He said: "Sister, I'm not bragging to you. When I was looking for a girlfriend, you..."

"It's really not possible!" Jing Ling let out a look of contempt.

His sister is so beautiful, but no boy pursues her. What a waste!

Let's say that Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun were having a fight. When they passed one of the houses, Xia Zekai suddenly stopped and stopped running.

He turned his head and looked at the figure that had just passed by the door next to him, and fell into deep thought.

"Zekai, what's wrong?" Luo Xiyun, who was running ahead, couldn't hear the movement and looked back at him.

"Daughter-in-law, I seem to have seen an acquaintance. You take them home first, and I'll go in and say a few words." Xia Zekai said.

He turned around and walked towards the open door next to him.

Unlike other small two-story houses, this family still has the original bungalow building. However, the house has been renovated and looks quite good. It is just that there is no decoration and the exterior wall is still cement gray.

What I saw along the way with Xia Zekai always seemed a bit out of place.

The next moment, Xia Zekai stepped in and shouted: "Gao Yong, are you at home?"

He was afraid that he had identified the wrong person and was not sure.

In my memory, Gao Yong and he were classmates in elementary school. The two even competed for class president, but they had a good time in school.

At that time, Gao Yong was cheerful and optimistic.

Later, when everyone was working, Xia Zekai returned to Xiajiazhuang and met him by chance. He remembered that Gao Yong was also a energetic young man at that time, and even dragged him to drink at home.

But the man Xia Zekai just saw was unkempt and had long hair. On an April day, when he should have been wearing a singlet and short sleeves, he was still wearing a cotton coat.

Afraid of admitting the wrong person, Xia Zekai shouted again.

"Gao Yong, I'm Xia Zekai, is it you?" Xia Zekai shouted again.

This time an old lady was called out, and Xia Zekai recognized her, Gao Yong's second aunt.

At this moment, Xia Zekai confirmed that the person just now was Gao Yong.

"Who are you? What's wrong?" the old lady asked him.

Xia Zekai hurriedly said: "Aunt, I am Xia Zekai. I am here to see Gao Yong. He is probably at home."

"Xia Zekai, why do you sound so familiar to me?" The old lady muttered for a while, then remembered it, and forced a smile on her face: "Oh, it's you, the child of brother Wei Cheng's family, you and our Gao Yong are classmates.

Right, we used to go to school together."

"Yes, yes, aunt, what happened to Gao Yong?" Xia Zekai asked quickly.

"He?" The old lady sighed, her tone full of sadness: "Hey, he was stimulated. His second uncle passed away a few years ago, and his father also passed away two years ago. He can't bear the blow."

The old lady pointed to her head and said, "The doctor said he's a little messed up here, but he's fine."

"Kaikai, you are his classmate. Go in and persuade him. Tell him what to do if he is still so young." The old lady felt powerless.

Too many things happened at home, which were a blow to her, but the only nephew left to depend on became like this, so she had to be stronger.

"Auntie, let me go take a look." Xia Zekai followed the house pointed by the old lady and entered the door.

When he opened the door, he smelled the rancid smell of long-term air suffocation. He also saw a dark figure curled up on the only bed in the room.

Seeing him come in, the figure subconsciously curled up tighter and subconsciously covered his head with his hands.

Some incomprehensible sounds came from his mouth.

Xia Zekai never expected that his former classmate and childhood playmate would turn out like this.

"Gao Yong, I am Xia Zekai, the Xia Zekai who competed with you for class president in the first grade, do you still remember it?" Xia Zekai shouted.

"Uh huh..." Gao Yong shook his head, trembling all over and looking a little scared.

Xia Zekai took two steps back and said, "I am your old classmate. I won't hurt you, so don't be afraid."

"Gao Yong, remember when you came back from Jicheng, you invited me to drink when we met, do you still remember?"

"Hey, drink, drink!" Gao Yong, who was curled up on the bed, suddenly jumped off. He searched all over the room and finally pulled out a box of beer from the end of the bed.

He took two bottles of wine and pulled out an apple. One bottle of wine and one apple were handed to Xia Zekai, while the other bottle of wine was kept for himself.

With a silly smile on his face, he looked at Xia Zekai and shouted with a smile: "Drink, drink, drink!"

As he spoke, he bit open the bottle cap with his teeth and drank from the mouth of the bottle.

If he didn't look like this, he would look particularly free and easy when drinking like this.

"..."

Xia Zekai couldn't figure out how the energetic young man in his impression and the somewhat silly and sloppy middle-aged man in front of him merged into one figure.

But he didn't care about the dust on the bottle, he also held up the bottle and said: "Gao Yong, we were very good friends when we were in elementary school, and we were classmates at the same table. Teacher Wang asked you to be the monitor. I refused to accept it and made you

The squad leader was robbed."

"I don't know if you still remember me, but we had a drink together, and it wasn't the same time. I'll have another drink with you today."

After finishing speaking, Xia Zekai wiped the mouth of the bottle twice and opened the cap with his teeth. He gestured to Gao Yong and said softly: "I did it too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Zekai drank the bottle cleanly.

At the end, he held the wine bottle upside down and said, "Gao Yong, I drank."

"Fruit, fruit, eat it!" Gao Yong pointed at the apple in Xia Zekai's hand and said with a smile.

Xia Zekai held the apple and stretched out his hand: "I'm not hungry, you can eat it."

"Eat, eat!" Gao Yong pushed his hand back again.

The dust on Gao Yong's hand got on Xia Zekai's hand, leaving an obvious black mark.

After Gao Yong saw it, he was a little panicked. He quickly put down the empty wine bottle and reached out to help Xia Zekai clean it, but the more he wiped it, the dirtier it became. Finally, he became a little anxious.

Xia Zekai held his hand and said, "It's okay, just wash it off and it'll be fine."

"Hehe, hehehe!" Gao Yong heard him say this and it became like this again.

Xia Zekai couldn't persuade him at first glance. Seeing that the expression on Gao Yong's face didn't change much, he came out holding an apple and two empty wine bottles.

When he saw the old lady waiting outside, Xia Zekai asked: "Auntie, can Gao Yong's condition be cured?"

"I went to the hospital and the doctor said he was irritated and gave him an injection. He was so scared that he pulled out the needle and stuck it on the doctor. He didn't dare to stay there anymore, so he came back," the old lady said.

Xia Zekai said "Oh" and just when he was thinking of saying something, someone called him from outside: "Dad, are you done? Everything is packed. Let's go to Grandpa's grave."

Tongtong came in through the doorway.

When she saw the old lady, she called out "grandma" obediently.

"Oh, you are such a beautiful girl, wait a minute, I will wash the apples for you to eat." The old lady turned around and went to Gao Yong's house.

Xia Zekai suddenly raised his hand and looked at the apple in his hand. Based on what the old lady just said, he suddenly realized one thing. This might be the best snack in their house.

"Are you all here?" Xia Zekai asked her daughter.

Tongtong said "Hmm" and said, "We are all waiting in the car at the door. Dad, let's go."

"Leave now!" Xia Zekai didn't stay any longer. He glanced at the yard, walked to a chair, put the apple in his hand on the chair, and put the wine bottle at the gate. There were many bottles.

He shouted into the room again: "Auntie, I'm leaving first. When I'm done, I'll come over to see Gao Yong."

"Wait a minute, eat an apple first!" After hearing this, the old lady came out with a yellow-skinned apple in her hand. The apple looked shriveled and shrunk, and the skin was full of wrinkles.

When she looked again, there was no one in the yard.

Gao Yong, who was hiding in the room, was looking out through the window glass in a daze at the moment, not knowing what he was thinking.

…………

Xia Zekai got into the car, still thinking about what happened just now.
