With his parents' permission, Yan Fenghuo ignored the burns on his face and the bruises from his belt, casually applied some safflower oil and rushed towards his biological father's home with Tangtang.
"Tangtang, how do you think my sister knew I was in the army?" Yan Fenghuo, who was driving, asked curiously.
No one knew about him in the army, and it was even less likely that Yan Yan knew about it. If they knew, it must have been Tangtang who tipped him off.
"I didn't tell you, and I don't know your sister."
"You told my dad, and then my dad told you Yan Yan, right?"
"Hey, you're not stupid, hehe." Tangtang touched Yan Fenghuo's head and smiled: "My dad said you have always been stupid, but now I believe that you are not stupid at all."
"Your dad?!"
"Yes, my dad told me to take you home for a meal." Tangtang winked at Yan Fenghuo.
"Going to your house for dinner? Forget it, I have a grudge against your father!" Yan Fenghuo shouted.
"Oh, what kind of grudge do you have against my father? He can't eat you as long as I'm here."
"Two words, don't go!" Yan Fenghuo yelled with a flash of his head: "With him without me, with me without him, your father is an old liar."
Tangtang was angry: "Why is my dad such an old liar? How can I talk?"
"He is an old liar," Yan Fenghuo shouted: "Do you think I want to stay in the army for such a long time? Didn't you get deceived by him? Do you know what army I am in?"
"I know, Infantry Brigade." Tangtang said with a knowing expression.
"Shit!" Yan Fenghuo slammed on the brakes and shouted: "They are special forces, special forces that risk their lives on the field. Do you know that the unit I stayed in has killed about a hundred people since its establishment?
, specifically fighting terrorists to the death."
Tangtang's beautiful eyes widened: "What? The special forces often die? But my dad told me that they are an infantry brigade and nothing happens."
"Do you believe him? Oh my gosh, I thought my wife was smart enough, but who knew she was so stupid. Anyway, your dad and I are inseparable. I am without him, and he is without me."
Tangtang quickly took out her mobile phone and dialed Tang Jingzhong's number, specially turning on the speaker phone.
"Tangtang, what's going on?" Tang Jingzhong's majestic voice came from the phone.
"Let me ask you, what unit is Fenghuo in? Infantry brigade? Special forces?" Tangtang opened her mouth and asked.
"Infantry brigade..."
"Keep lying."
"Uh... the subordinate special forces."
Tangtang was angry: "How could you get him into that kind of army?"
"Yan Fenghuo's conditions are good. It would be a pity not to get that kind of troops. Tangtang, it's not that dad deliberately lied to you, but he didn't want you to worry too much."
"Okay, Old Man Tang, you can even lie to me."
"Tangtang, don't be willful."
"Am I willful?" Tangtang growled into the phone: "Old man Tang, I will show you my willfulness. Either let Fenghuo retire, or enlist me in the army and stay in the same army with him. Choose one of the two, and there is no possibility of any harm."
Conditions, or I’ll go home and cry until you go crazy!”
Threat, this is a naked threat. Yan Fenghuo envied Tangtang for being able to threaten that liar Tang Jingzhong, but it was a pity that he couldn't.
Before Tang Jingzhong could respond, Tangtang had already hung up the phone and sat there angrily without saying a word.
Yan Fenghuo snickered and drove forward.
Sanhuang County, Fukang Village.
Sanhuang County is a well-known poverty-stricken county, but you can't see it in the county town. Only when you go to remote villages will you feel its poverty and backwardness.
The village is called Fukang. It is not as prosperous and healthy as the name suggests. It is poor. The poor people face the loess and turn their backs to the sky. Even if they want to turn their backs to the sky, there is not so much arable land. This is saline-alkali land where no grass can grow. Even if you work hard,
Even if we fertilize the land, we can only grow a few hundred kilograms of wheat per acre. Apart from the cost of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, we still have to pay for it.
There are no roads in the village, only a muddy path that has been trampled for many years. Walking on the muddy path, all you see are left-behind orphans, old people and children. The average annual household income is only tens of thousands of yuan or even lower. Young people have chosen this place.
They went out to work. The environment in which they grew up made it impossible for them to stand up, and the pressure of life made them gasp for survival.
A group of urchins with runny noses and shabby clothes jumped behind Yan Fenghuo and the two. They were very curious about Yan Fenghuo who appeared in the village. In other words, they had rarely seen such clean and neatly dressed people.
The village is not big. After asking the villagers, Yan Fenghuo walked to an old house. The house was in disrepair and the damage to the roof could be clearly seen. The damage was covered with yellow mud mixed with wheat straw.
After a layer of plastic cloth was applied, the original color of the tiles could no longer be seen, and they showed a black-green color wrapped in moss.
This is the home of his biological father, poor and downcast. Standing in front of the house, Yan Fenghuo sighed and felt a little sad. If he had not been sold for two hundred yuan, I am afraid his life would have been different.
There is a white paper on the door. This is the local custom, which means that someone has just died in the family. The funeral of the biological father has been completed, and the first seven days have not passed.
With a "squeak", Yan Fenghuo pushed open the dilapidated door, and what he saw was an old house and a dirt floor. However, the yard was tidied up, and farm tools and miscellaneous things were piled up in an orderly manner.
.
Although the house is dilapidated and old, it is not messy at all.
Hearing the sound of someone opening the door, a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old walked out of the hall. The girl was holding a book in her hand, and her delicate face was extremely haggard. When she saw Yan Fenghuo and Tangtang walking in, she was stunned.
After a moment, he showed a slightly shy smile.
This girl is Yan Yan, Tangtang can tell at a glance. Because the girl's eyebrows are very similar to Yan Fenghuo, they are almost carved from the same mold. A very beautiful girl, if not because her family is too poor, she will definitely be a proud one.
of princess.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" Yan Yan asked, her eyes falling on Yan Fenghuo's face and unable to move away.
She met her biological brother five years ago. She was young at that time and her memory has long been blurred. In addition, Yan Fenghuo has changed greatly in the past five years, and she can't recognize her at first glance. But Yan Yan is a tough guy like this.
The young man felt an extremely familiar feeling, which made her feel at ease and comfortable.
"Are you Yan Yan?" Tangtang stepped forward and grabbed Yan Yan's hand affectionately and asked.
To Yanyan, Tangtang, who is beautiful and well-dressed, is undoubtedly the kind of aloof princess in the city. She immediately broke away after Tangtang grabbed her hand, with a look of inferiority in her eyes.
This look was clearly caught by Yan Fenghuo. He felt as if his heart had been stabbed hard by a steel thorn. It hurt. I feel inferior. This girl actually has inferior self-esteem. My biological sister actually has inferior inferiority!
"I am Yan Fenghuo, your biological brother." Yan Fenghuo stared at Yan Yan and stretched out his hand to her.
Looking blankly at the brother in front of her who could give her a sense of security, Yan Yan's eyes shed tears, and she slowly stretched out her hand, letting Yan Fenghuo squeeze her hand.
"Brother..." Yan Yan choked and made a voice.
"Haha, don't cry." Yan Fenghuo showed a smile, stretched out his hand to gently wipe away Yan Yan's tears, pointed at Tangtang and said, "This is your sister Tangtang."
Yan Yan held back her tears and smiled at Tangtang: "Sister Tangtang."
She no longer objected to Tangtang holding her hand, because this was the person brought by her brother.
"If you want to cry, just cry hard." Yan Fenghuo gave Yan Yan an encouraging look.
But Yan Yan stopped crying. She wiped the tears on her face hard and smiled again. She was very stubborn and strong.
"Brother, Sister Tangtang, come and sit in the room." Yan Yan greeted the two of them and walked into the main room.
The furnishings in the main room are very simple, and there is an ancient clock hanging on the wall, which makes a harsh sound of lack of lubricating oil.
"What happened?" Yan Fenghuo asked after sitting down.
"The folks in the village helped me do it." Yan Yan lowered her head and said silently, "The village chief took the money."
"Yeah." Yan Fenghuo nodded and asked, "When are the first seven papers?"
"the day after tomorrow."
"Yan Yan, is there anything else that hasn't been resolved yet?" Tangtang held Yan Yan's hand and said with concern: "No matter what happens, tell your brother. As long as your brother and I are here, no problem will be solved."
It can be solved.”
Yanyan's head hung lower, biting her lips and shaking her head.
Tangtang winked at Yan Fenghuo, and she could tell that something must be wrong with Yan Yan. This was her intuition. Yan Yan was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she had not yet learned how to hide her inner feelings.
Yan Fenghuo also noticed this, but he did not continue to ask. No matter what happened, he would find a way to solve it, because this is his only biological sister.
Yan Fenghuo and Tangtang stayed here. Although it was very simple, the beds were all clean, and Yan Yan had tidied them up.
The arrival of the two caused quite a stir in the village, because they drove an off-road vehicle. This car was better than the village chief's car, and they looked like rich people. The villagers wanted to go to Yanyan intentionally or unintentionally.
I walked by the door of my house, greeted him affectionately, and asked all kinds of questions about who was coming.
When asked, Yan Yan proudly told others that he was her brother, her biological brother. Apart from her biological brother, she had no relatives here. Her brother was her god, the pillar of support that could hold her up.
"Ahem!" A pretentious cough came, and the village chief in a coat came over after hearing the news.
Seeing the village chief, all the villagers automatically made way for the most powerful man in the village to walk in.
The name of the village chief of Sanhuang Village is Liao Gensheng. He is in his forties and fifties. He is chubby. His smile gives people the feeling of Maitreya Buddha and he is very approachable. Although the village is poor, the village chief is not. His family owns a Santana car.
He told the whole story in the village.
"Yan Yan, who is here?" the village chief asked with a smile, his eyes glistening as he glanced back and forth over Yan Yan.
Yan Yan was very afraid of the village chief. She didn't dare to look him in the face, and she even spoke with no confidence at all.
"My brother." Yan Yan replied in a low voice, lowering her head and feeling uneasy.
"Brother, where are you from?" Village Chief Liao Gensheng walked towards Yan Yan.
As he walked forward, Yan Yan immediately took two steps back, her eyes filled with fear.
"I paid for your father's burial, and you also promised to be my son's wife. It's clearly written in black and white. I don't care where you get a rich brother. The matter has been decided once and for all. You can't go back.
." The village chief stopped, pulled up the coat on his body and said to the main room: "Where's your brother? Let's come out and chat. From now on, we will all be members of our own family."
Yan Yan bit her lip and kept silent, but all her words were clearly heard by Yan Fenghuo in the room: This is selling her body to bury her father!
