Chapter 8: Home is a warm place. The meal came to an end with Xiaodi devouring it. Seeing his younger brother holding his stomach and burping, Brother Gan felt the urge to laugh and cry. These Yang Feng Everyone saw it, Brother Gan smiled and said to his younger brother: "Xiao Di, this is a bank card. I deposited five hundred yuan for you in it. The password is your birthday. Don't ask your parents for money again in the future. Okay, brother will give you five hundred every month, you just go to the ATM to get it." Brother Qian said while taking out a green bank card from his pocket.
"I know, brother??????" Xiao Xiao said, taking the bank card handed to him by Brother Qian and putting it in his pocket. Then he looked at the dishes in front of Brother Qian and Yang Feng that had barely been touched with chopsticks, and squirmed. He asked nervously: "Brother?????? Can you pack these dishes and take them back to my dormitory?"
Yang Feng just wanted to say what package to pack, and just speculate a little more, but before he could say anything, Brother Gan had already strangled him in the cradle with his eyes. Brother Gan smiled and said, "Of course, we will spend the money." I bought it with money, and I didn't steal or rob." After saying that, he called the waiter to pack all the uneaten dishes. This time, Xiao Di was very happy.
"Haha, what are you so happy about, Xiaodi?" Brother Gan looked at his smiling brother and asked in confusion.
"Brother, you don't know, if I bring these back this time, the classmates in our dormitory will be able to eat meat for once. By the way, brother, can you buy me some more food? Buy more??????"
Brother Gan smiled, maybe the best relationship between classmates is in high school. The classmates at this time are all sensible. The most important thing is that there is no conflict of interest. Only in this way can the purest friendship be formed, and this kind of friendship only needs If you don't bother me intentionally, you can have a lifelong friendship.
Without saying a word, Brother Gan called the landlady and asked for another ten-yuan meal. It was rare that his younger brother had such a heart. With such a collective consciousness, how could he, the eldest brother, not support it.
At this time, Yang Feng took out a silver-white credit card from his wallet, looked at Brother Qian, smiled and said to Wang: "Xiao Di, Brother Feng, I came in a hurry this time, and I didn't prepare any gifts for you. It’s a little bit of fun from me, take it and I’ll buy you a book to read.”
Xiaodi looked at his eldest brother and didn't pick him up. Brother Gan thought to himself, you have money and can't spend it. You gave so much money to a high school student, but you didn't dare to accept it from us. You even bought books to read. I guess your card is worth it. It's more than enough to buy the library in their school. Although Xiaodi doesn't understand the difference between that card and the card that his elder brother gave him just now, Brother Gan knows that this is a platinum card with a maximum consumption limit of one hundred. Ten thousand.
"Okay, Xiaofeng, why would you give him so much money when he's a student? As long as you come up with what you want. If you really want to show off, you can treat me to this meal. No one will compete with you." Brother Gan said with a smile. .
"Okay, okay, don't argue with me!" Yang Feng replied, then put the credit card back in his pocket and said to Xiaodi: "Xiaodi, Brother Feng will give it to you when you are admitted to college. Brother, I’ll keep it for you first.”
"Where did you get so much money? Tell me, have you done something outrageous again?" Brother Gan asked, staring at Yang Feng.
"Brother, you have wronged me. Ever since I got involved with you, although I, Yang Feng, can't promise to do good things every day, at least I haven't done anything bad! Hehe, of course, except for picking up girls, that's two There's nothing I can do about the matter of being in love, so I have to be compassionate." Yang Feng said boldly.
"Come on, you, you are still in love with each other and cherish the beauty. Which one is not pleasing to you because of your status and money, and which one is not pleasing to you because of beauty and sex. They are not just fragrance and jade. There is no need for you, Mr. Yang, to show mercy." Brother Gan retorted with contempt in his eyes.
"Brother, I listen to you, and I will try my best to destroy flowers with my hands in the future." Yang Feng said with a smile.
"I don't care whether it's painful or not, you just have to pay attention to it." Brother Gan finally added.
"Brother, I understand, don't worry." Yang Feng put away his smile and replied seriously.
Yang Feng paid the bill, and Xiaodi walked out of the small restaurant with the dishes he had just packed in his hands. This time the landlady was counting money on the counter. With this meal of more than 700 yuan, he could still make a small 400 yuan, and There is also a tip of 40, and you can't say that the BMW driver is "high-quality". Mr. Beier, it was originally 760. She originally wanted to give a discount and charge 700, but she didn't expect that the young man who paid the bill, He took out eight hundred-yuan bills directly from his wallet and put them away. He still held the five-yuan bottle of Red Star Erguotou in his hand and said coolly, "No need to look for it!".
When Brother Gan saw Yang Feng's move, he didn't stop him. He knew that the boy was not short of money anyway, but Xiaodi was a little distressed to see forty yuan thrown away like this. Forty yuan was his living expenses for a week.
The three of them got in the car. Brother Qian planned to send Xiaodi back to school first, and then go home. On the way back to school, Brother Qian asked: "Xiaodi, you are almost your senior year of high school. Have you decided which university to go to?" ?”
"I want to get into Beihua University, but I just don't know if I can get there??????" Xiaodi said to Brother Gan.
"Beihua University? Beihua University is great. It's the best university in the country. Xiaodi, you take the exam well and pass it. Brother Feng will protect you in the capital!" Yang Feng, who was driving, heard that Xiaodi was planning to take the exam. Beihua University quickly recommended itself.
Brother Gan smiled and said, "He is going to school. Do you think he is there to hang out with you? Why don't you protect him? You should protect yourself first and then talk about it! Xiaodi, take the exam well and work harder." ,Certainly possible."
After listening to Brother Gan's scolding, Yang Feng drove the car honestly and stopped talking. After hearing Brother's encouragement, Xiaodi's confidence greatly increased and she was determined to take the exam to Beihua University.
Arriving at the gate of Qianye County No. 1 Middle School, Yang Feng was about to drive in, but Brother Gan stopped him: "Just stop here, Xiaofeng, don't drive in."
Yang Feng pointed the direction and stopped the car. Xiaofeng carried his hands full of food, said goodbye to Brother Gan and Yang Feng, and skipped into the school.
Brother Gan looked at Xiaodi's back and said to Yang Feng: "Have you seen Xiaofeng? You can't understand Xiaodi's happiness, and you are dismissive of it. You eat the leftovers packed with your classmates." Food is also a kind of happiness."
Yang Feng thoughtfully thought about his brother's words. Yes, although Xiaodi has never eaten abalone and shark fin, driven a sports car, or dated beautiful girls, and there are not so many people around him who want to please him for various purposes, he even eats He ate the leftovers so happily. He was indeed happier than himself, happier than himself. It was a kind of happiness that was poor but not poor, small but not humble.
"Xiao Feng, remember, most true friends are friends in need. Although you may never be in trouble in your life, you must understand this truth. There are so many people around you, who can help you at critical moments? If you die, who can you live for? This is something you should figure out in the future." Brother Gan continued.
"Brother, I remember. Although I am a little cynical, I know all these things. Don't forget, I am the grandson of Yang Renzhong, the founding general of the country. I am not that inferior!"
"Haha, I think so." Brother Gan laughed.
It wasn't until Wang Di's shadow disappeared deep into the campus that Yang Feng started the car, turned around and asked Brother Qian: "Brother Qian, where are we going now?"
"Go to my house, get off the car and let's change seats, and I'll drive." Brother Gan's usual simplicity is domineering.
After the two changed seats, Yang Feng thought to himself that it was a good thing that when he arrived, there were two special panda cigarettes that he got from the old man in the trunk. Brother Gan's father should smoke, but he couldn't just take two cigarettes, so An idea came to him: "Brother, stop in front, my stomach is a little uncomfortable, please help me." He said with a painful expression.
Brother Gan parked the car on the side of the road and sat in the car waiting. Yang Feng got out of the car and ran to the other side of the road. Brother Gan had been waiting for a long time and he still hadn't seen him back. Don't tell me he got lost and just wanted to make a phone call. After prompting, I looked up in the reversing mirror and saw Yang Feng holding shopping bags in both hands. He walked over, opened the back door, threw the gifts in, and then got into the driver's seat.
"Why did you buy so many things?" Brother Gan asked a little unhappily.
"Brother, don't be angry. I just want to honor my uncle and aunt. Besides, I can't go empty-handed when I go to your house for the first time." Yang Feng explained quickly.
"Damn, you're the only one who can say that! In fact, they won't be willing to eat these if you buy them. They are used to living a hard life and cannot enjoy happiness. They don't have many requirements in their hearts, let alone desires. They can only eat a simple meal. Just food is enough." Brother Gan sighed.
"Brother, don't worry. With your strength, your uncle and aunt will definitely enjoy endless blessings. Besides, I have a younger brother. You are my brother, and your parents are my parents." Yang Feng said sincerely. 's advice.
"Okay, please stop trying to persuade me. Do you think I'm worried that they won't be able to enjoy the blessings? What I'm afraid of is that I might cause trouble for them in the future. They are actually quite good now. They eat well, sleep soundly, and have themselves. My son who I can care about is so ordinary and so precious. I am really afraid that one day I will accidentally break this peace." Brother Gan looked at the road ahead and muttered to himself while driving.
Yang Feng said nothing more, because he knew that what Brother Qian had endured and experienced might never happen to him in his lifetime. A lucky person's consolation to a weak person was a pale insult no matter how high-sounding it was.
The BMW drove into Dawangzhuang and stopped in front of Brother Gan's house. Seeing this peaceful and poor little village, Yang Feng couldn't believe that such an ordinary village could give birth to one of the best people like Brother Gan. Dragon. With earthen walls and wooden doors, Yang Feng seems to have returned to the scene of the red movie Reed of the 1960s and 1970s. What time is it now? It is the 21st century. There are high-rise buildings everywhere. I never expected that there would be something like this. Earth house.
Seeing Brother Qian get out of the car, Yang Feng also opened the car door, took out the gift, and then took out the two special cigarettes from the trunk. Finally, he didn't forget to take out the bottle from the car and put it in the small restaurant. Bring out the Red Star Erguotou.
When she opened the door, her mother saw a young man following behind her, and quickly called out to the old man to welcome the guests.
"Hello, uncle and aunt, I'm a friend of my godfather, and I'm here to see you??????" Yang Feng shouted with a smile.
"Oh, you can come as soon as you come. Why are you buying so many things? Go to the house quickly??????" Gan Ge's mother hurriedly greeted her.
"Haha, Mom, don't be so polite. Don't treat him like an outsider. He knows how to get in." Brother Gan said to his mother with a smile.
"You little bastard, why are you so ignorant? There are all guests here, so why don't you hurry up and get some water?" Mother glared at Brother Gan and scolded him.
Brother Gan suddenly acted like a child who had done something wrong. He said something submissive and pulled Yang Feng into the house. This was the first time Yang Feng saw Brother Gan being so honest. He just wanted to laugh but was afraid of Brother Gan, so he kept holding it back. Then, when we got to the house, we finally couldn't hold it in any longer and started laughing.
"Why are you laughing?" Brother Gan asked looking at Yang Feng who was laughing so hard.
"Haha, I really didn't expect you, Brother Gan, to be afraid of people in this world. In my mind, you have always been a brother who is fearless??????"
"What do you know, you stinky boy! Even if you are not afraid of heaven and earth, you have to be afraid of your own parents. This is not called fear, but love. It is fear because of love. I have heard that 'the tree wants to be quiet but the wind will not stop; the child wants to be filial and filial. If you can verify this statement from yourself, it will be too late!" Brother Gan said emotionally while looking at the busy figures of his parents outside.
Yang Feng couldn't fully understand what Brother Gan said. He was still eighteen years old and had never suffered much. He didn't have that much insight into life, but he felt that the relationship between Brother Gan and his parents was quite good. Although They are all common people, but they give all their energy and love to their children, and they have never felt the love from their parents since they were sensible. The only people who can talk to them are their grandfathers and their parents. I work all day long and don’t go home until midnight. Although there is a nanny, food, drink, and entertainment at home, and it is even considered the safest place in the country, I lie alone in my room every time. , always so deserted, so lonely, so insecure.
Watching Gan Ge’s parents busy cooking for their son and themselves on the stove in the courtyard under the sunset, the smoke, the aroma of vegetables, and the cooing of the old hen in the chicken coop, everything is so energetic and warm. , maybe this can truly be called home, even if its total cost is less than an imported bed in your own bedroom.
Home is a heart-warming place. No matter how poor you are, no matter how downcast you are, you can always hear laughter at home, and you can always see encouraging eyes at home. Thinking about Yang Feng's eyes moistened, Pan Meichen's "I" "Want to Have a Family" sounded in a distant place in my mind:
I want to have a home, a place that does not need to be gorgeous. When I am tired, I will think of it. I want to have a home, a place that does not need to be big. When I am frightened, I will not be afraid?? ????
