The dilapidated bus that Liu Jun and the mute took back to Wutong Township was actually a medium-sized bus approved to carry 19 people, but it was actually packed with 35 people. This shows that the passenger transportation in poor counties is tight.
The mute tightly covered the black plastic bag containing a huge amount of 200,000 yuan, and looked around, looking at everyone in the car, assessing who might be the bad guy. In the eyes of the mute, except for his Ah
Except Brother Jun, everyone needs to be vigilant.
Although the bus was old and shabby, it was uneventful along the way. When Liu Jun and the mute arrived at the Wutong Township Government Bus Station, the moon had already hung on the branches and the stars were twinkling in the night sky. The two of them had a meal at a small restaurant in the village.
After lunch, continue on your way.
Because there were many people in the car, Liu Jun and the mute did not dare to talk more about the two hundred thousand yuan. On the way home from dinner in the countryside, Liu Jun asked the mute what he thought of the sudden huge sum of two hundred thousand yuan.
What do you think? How will you spend so much money in the future?
The mute gestured excitedly. He never concealed his thoughts in front of Liu Jun. He said frankly that the money from robbing the rich and giving to the poor should not be wasted. The mute and Liu Jun's idea of robbing the rich and giving to the poor were quite compatible.
As for how to use the money, the mute did not consider it, saying that Liu Jun could spend it however he wanted. With this money, he would follow Liu Jun everywhere.
Liu Jun expressed his worries to the mute, saying that he suddenly had so much money. What would Liu Jun's father and Tian Xiuhua think? Don't worry your biological father and stepmother to death. They would probably think that Liu Jun had stolen it or stolen it.
Robbed.
If you have money, you have the right to pretend you have no money. You have to pretend to be poor when you go home and cannot show off. Liu Jun has his own ideas. This huge sum of 200,000 yuan cannot be used too much for the time being. When he goes to the city and sees a lot, he will see what is suitable.
Just invest money in business when you have the opportunity. As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, don't panic. Once you have money, you will calm down, even though the source of the money is embarrassing.
Liu Jun and the mute were walking and chatting. It was already late at night when they returned to Langshang Village. In order not to disturb their father and Tian Xiuhua, they took a nap in front of their home until dawn.
There was a squeaking sound, and the sound of the door bolt being pushed and pulled. Tian Xiuhua, who was wearing a set of Liu Dekui's shirt and trousers, was carrying a big bamboo basket and a sickle. She got up early to kill pigweed. When she opened the door, she saw Liu Jun and the mute fighting at the gate.
I felt very distressed when I took a nap. These two children were honest and kind. They must have fallen asleep without knocking on the door because they were afraid of waking their parents late at night.
The mute was more alert. Even when he fell asleep and dozed, he would clutch the plastic bag with 200,000 yuan tied to his waistband. When he heard the door open, he patted Liu Jun and stood up with a smile.
"Ajun, Ali, why are you two like this? Go back to the house and sleep." Tian Xiuhua said and walked out.
The mute snatched the bamboo basket and sickle from Tian Xiuhua's hand and pointed at the bags by the door.
"What is that?" Tian Xiuhua asked.
The mute smiled at Liu Jun and ran away to kill pigweed.
"Auntie, I brought you some clothes, let's make do with it." Liu Jun handed over the clothes he bought for Tian Xiuhua. His attitude towards Tian Xiuhua was always nonchalant. After saying that, he went into the house with two bottles of wine.
.
Tian Xiuhua opened the bag and saw several beautiful new clothes. Tears flowed down on the spot. Ajun, a motherless child, was kind-hearted. On the surface, he was neither cold nor indifferent to her, but in his heart he still remembered her stepmother.
What makes Tian Xiuhua sad is that after her own children came home from school to make up for extra classes, they looked at her as if they were hiding from the god of plague and did not recognize her as their mother. These biological children were not worth the slightest bit of filial piety from Ajun.
"Dad, I bought you two bottles of good liquor, which is much more refreshing than Gushao." Arjun came to the room where his father slept and said to his father who was lying on the bed with his legs lame.
"Ajun, where did you get the money to buy wine?" Liu Dekui coughed, glanced at the brand of wine, looked at Liu Jun warily, and not only frowned, although these two bottles of liquor were not the national ones in the news network
Liquor Moutai, but it costs about fifty yuan a bottle, and two bottles of wine cost more than one hundred yuan.
Liu Jun lied frankly: "Dad, the bus to the county seat broke down and was delayed for several hours. I missed the passenger's schedule, so I waived the ticket. When I went home, I caught a ride with my classmate's father. This wine
I bought it with the travel expenses I saved, so you can drink it without worry."
"Oh..." Liu Dekui said nothing more, feeling a faint worry in his heart. Ever since Ah Jun stabbed the village chief with a saber in front of the fish pond in Fenshan, he felt that he had changed a lot. Needless to say, he was filial, but he just felt that there was something wrong with him.
Something is wrong.
Not long after Liu Jun left, Tian Xiuhua put on a set of clothes newly bought by Liu Jun and came to Liu Dekui's room. She turned around in front of Liu Dekui and said happily: "Brother Kui, does it look good?"
"Good-looking." Liu Dekui replied without hesitation, but then he said, "Have you gone back to the village chief's house to get some clothes?"
"No, you bastard village chief. Even if you kill me, I will never set foot in his house again." Tian Xiuhua didn't notice Liu Dekui's doubtful eyes and was in a good mood, "This dress really fits you. It's plaid and not flashy."
It’s vulgar, the materials are good, and it’s quite trendy. This kid Ajun is really filial.”
"What? Are you saying that Ajun bought this dress for you?"
"Yeah, isn't it good? Although Ajun only calls me aunt, he is very good if he remembers to buy me clothes. Ajun thinks it's not good for me to wear men's clothes all day long, so he wants to buy me clothes.
Do you think Ajun recognizes me as his stepmother?"
"Ahua, don't be pretty first. Call Ajun over quickly. I have something to ask her." Liu Dekui's face darkened.
"Why are you so fierce? How can Ajun buy some clothes for his stepmother?" Tian Xiuhua felt a little baffled when she saw Liu Dekui's sudden change of expression.
"Look, Ajun also bought me two bottles of good wine. This wine costs more than one hundred yuan. The new clothes you are wearing cost only one hundred yuan if not two hundred yuan. I only gave him two hundred yuan and bought them all.
Clothes and wine, he and Ali have been drinking northwest wind in the city for so many days?"
"You mean, this money?" Tian Xiuhua was stunned for a moment, yes, where did Liu Jun get the money to buy wine and clothes? Could it be that he just picked up the money?
"Ajun, your father asked you to come over." Tian Xiuhua called Liu Jun to Liu Dekui's room and hid outside the door to eavesdrop on the conversation between father and son.
"Ajun, you bought good wine for dad and new clothes for your aunt. Your filial piety is very good, but where did you get so much money? Not to mention it was saved on travel expenses."
"Didn't Dad tell you? When I went to the city, my car broke down for a few hours and I refunded my money. When I returned to my hometown, I took a ride from my classmate's father. The clothes I bought for Aunt Xiuhua happened to be on sale at a loss in the store. Isn't that right?
I bought a few pieces for my aunt."
"Ajun, I don't ask anything else, and don't lie to me. Tell me, where did you get so much money? Is it the right way?"
"Dad, what do you mean? I won't tell you anymore. I have to rest for a while. Ali is coming, and I have to go to work on the farm. I think we will have to leave our hometown in a few weeks at most." Liu Jun didn't.
He angrily said something to Liu Dekui and left his father's bedroom.
Liu Jun knew that his father was suspicious of the unknown source of his money, and was afraid that he would do bad things after two days in the city, such as stealing and robbing. It seemed that he would have to pretend to be poor in front of his father in the future so that his father could rest assured.
"Alas..." When Liu Dekui heard Liu Jun mentioning leaving his hometown, he felt so bad that he immediately lost his mind.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. It's rare for Arjuna to be filial. It's okay if you don't praise him. What kind of questions are you asking? Are they chilling?" Tian Xiuhua comforted Liu Dekui, and then went to pick up some chicken coops.
Eggs, she wants to lay egg noodles to reward Liu Jun and Mute.
…
In the next week, Liu Jun and Mute worked day and night to harvest and dry rice. In the autumn, the planting of rice was entrusted to the villagers. After negotiation with the patriarch Xiao Zhongbo, the farmland of Liu Dekui's family was handed over to the village collective management.
The rice was priced and sold to the village. Liu Dekui's family sold all their pigs, chickens and other items that could be sold for money, leaving only an empty house.
Since Liu Dekui had not found a place to move to in advance and the local police station could not issue a relocation certificate, Liu Dekui was forced to move out of Langshang Village due to his affair with the village elder Tian Xiuhua, but his household registration remained in the village. Liu Dekui, Liu Jun
The ID cards of the four of them, Mute and Tian Xiuhua, are still agricultural households in Langshang Village, Wutong Township. Even if they are forced to leave Langshang to make a living, they are still considered to be full-fledged villagers of Langshang Village in the legal sense.
The night before he left Langshang Village, Liu Jun found Hu Langzhong, the village doctor, and asked if his father's legs had been cured? Could he be cured and he could stand up?
Hu Langzhong told Liu Jun that his father Liu Dekui's two femoral bones were shattered and were really useless. Of course, if you had money, you might not need to go to a large hospital in the provincial capital to replace them with two steel prosthetic bones made of domestic or imported materials.
I can stand up and walk with crutches.
"How much does it cost?" Liu Jun's eyes lit up. He happened to have a huge sum of 200,000 yuan in his hand. If he could spend the money to help his father stand up, it would be a great joy.
"I'm afraid it will cost two to three hundred thousand." Hu Langzhong shook his head. After all, two to three hundred thousand is an astronomical figure for a farmer whose annual net income is less than two thousand.
Liu Jun knew what he was doing. The first thing he did when he entered the city was to make his father stand up and be a good man.
"Mr. Langzhong, thank you." Liu Jun took out two hundred-yuan red bills and handed them to Hu Langzhong to express his gratitude.
"How can I ask for your money? I won't be rewarded for my merits. I can't take this money." Hu Lang's heart moved, but he still refused to accept Liu Jun's money.
"Mr. Zhong, I only have two hundred yuan, and I don't have any more. Please do me a favor." Liu Jun stuffed the money into Hu Langzhong's pocket. Hu Langzhong couldn't help but refuse, and said: "My dad has been busy these days."
He told me that it was hard to leave his hometown and my old house, so I asked Mr. Hu to help me open the window to let some air in when he was free. I would definitely thank you when I come back later.
"It's such a big deal, no problem, but I can't take the two hundred yuan." Hu Langzhong promised loyally.
"Please." Liu Jun bowed slightly to Hu Langzhong, bid farewell to Hu Langzhong and went home to pack his things. He told his father about entrusting Hu Langzhong to take care of the old house. It was natural that he gave Hu Langzhong two hundred yuan.
He said that his father's eyebrows had been furrowed for several days before they finally relaxed.
If the house is closed for many years, it will collapse. Liu Dekui is really worried. As the so-called hometown is hard to leave, it would be very unlucky if there is not even a house in the hometown, or if the house collapses because there is no one to live in it.
Liu Jun was relieved that Liu Dekui's problem was solved. Liu Dekui believed that his son Liu Jun would be successful in the future if he could think of things on his mind and do better than him when he grew up.
That night, Liu Dekui and his son, Tian Xiuhua and Mute, and their family of four simply packed a few pieces of clothing, a few quilts and daily necessities into two large rectangular camphor wood boxes, and that was all their belongings.
Liu Dekui's family had nothing to bring with them. They distributed pots, pans, pots, pans and some farm tools to their neighbors. They converted the rice they borrowed from the neighbor's uncle into cash and paid it back. The village no longer owed anyone anything.
Early the next morning, as the sun rose in the east, the mute carried two large camphor wood boxes, and Liu Dekui's family of four was forced to leave their homes and leave Longshang Village, their ancestral home for generations.
The patriarch, Xiao Zhongbo, sat in a four-person sedan and was escorted by the Eight King Kongs to see each other off on the only road at the east end of the village. The three brothers of the village chief, Xiao Fugui, grinned and gloated. Some kind-hearted and fearful villagers wiped away tears when they saw Liu Dekui leaving.
Tian Xiuhua looked back three times at a time, tears streaming down her clothes, her heart bleeding, and her two well-educated children, who were currently studying in high school, never came out to see her, not even seeing her for the last time when they were saying goodbye.
Their father, who is the village chief, is as hard-hearted.
"Farewell, the homeland where I was born and raised. Farewell, the villagers of Langshang Village, I love you and hate you." Suddenly a gust of autumn wind blew up. Liu Jun wiped his long hair that had not been cut for two months and said,
Heading forward towards the rising sun without looking back.
When the backs of Liu Dekui's family of four gradually faded away in the morning glow until they disappeared at the end of the field of vision, the village chief Xiao Fugui couldn't wait to wink at his second brother Xiao Furen before the patriarch Xiao Zhongbo got up from the sedan chair.
Ten minutes later, Liu Dekui's old house with civil structure caught fire. The fire took advantage of the wind and burned more and more fiercely. The villagers did not dare to come forward to put out the fire. The old house was reduced to ashes in an instant. Hu Langzhong stood in front of the house with thick black smoke.
Weeping in the wind above the scorched earth heap.
