Chapter 9 Leaving Home for the Harbor "The meal is ready, Xiaotian, please tell your friends to come in for dinner." Mother said kindly to Brother Gan, and this sentence also made Yang Feng, who was immersed in the mood of homesickness, call out. Back to reality.
"Auntie, I can come by myself, but I still need to trouble you, old man..." Yang Feng, who had just come to his senses, saw Brother Gan's mother serving rice for him, and quickly took the bowl from the old man's hand.
"Haha, it's okay, kid. Since Xiaotian has brought you home, you should treat this place as your home. Don't be restrained... We farmers don't have anything delicious, so we made these home-cooked dishes." Mother said apologetically.
"Aunt, this is very good. Besides, I'm tired of eating big fish and meat. I just want to change my taste and try this farm food." Yang Feng looked at the four dishes on the table. Almost all of them were I haven’t eaten it before or haven’t eaten it for a long time. There are cabbage stewed vermicelli, green onion fried eggs, purple lump cold dishes mixed with sesame oil, chili, chopped green onion, ginger, coriander, vinegar, etc., and a dry dish. My brother knows me, it’s the domestic pullet that my aunt just killed. Although there aren’t many dishes, the aroma of the food is very strong, filling my nose and mouth. Look at the soup again, it’s still Brother Qian’s favorite pimple soup, Yang The wind has never drunk before.
"Eat quickly, what are you looking at, kid..." Gan Ge's mother advised.
"Okay, Auntie, I'll eat it, and you'll eat it too..." Yang Feng said and took a small sip of the soup in the bowl. Not to mention it was really delicious, and then picked up a piece of purple vegetable that he didn't recognize with his chopsticks. , tried to take a bite, it was so delicious, but after chewing it for a few times, I still couldn’t figure out what it was. So I pointed at the purple dish with my chopsticks modestly and asked for advice: "Auntie, what do you do? What kind of dish is it? It’s so delicious..."
"Haha, what kind of dish is that? It's the dried radish I pickled last winter, then soaked it in warm water, cut it into cubes and mixed it with vinegar." The old man explained, and then used chopsticks to put more into Yang Feng's bowl. Some, "If it tastes good, please eat more, baby."
A simple gesture and a kind address moved Yang Feng to the point of tears, "Well, thank you, Auntie," and after saying that, he ate his meal with big mouthfuls.
At this time, Brother Gan's father finished eating and lit up the cigarette rolled in paper and was about to smoke it. Yang Feng put down the bowl in his hand after seeing it, opened the two special cigarettes he had, took out one and handed it to The old man said: "Uncle, this one is good, but that one is too harmful to the body." Yang Feng lit it for the old man.
"Child, let him light it by himself, and come back for dinner quickly." Brother Gan's mother shouted. The old man washed the hard-covered cigarette. It was easy to smoke, but it was too light and had no cigarette smell. After washing it, he still lit it. He smoked the dry tobacco he had just rolled with dry tobacco leaves and took a beautiful breath. Yang Feng saw this, and Brother Gan looked at Yang Feng's surprised eyes with a smile, as if he was verifying what he said to him in the car. those words.
Seeing that Yang Feng had almost eaten, Brother Gan took out the bottle of Red Star Erguotou and said, "Come on, Fengzi, stay with me for a while. You don't have to drive this time. You can drink as much as you want!"
As soon as Brother Gan finished speaking, Yang Feng opened the wine, and then the two of them talked and laughed, and settled a bottle of Erguotou. Brother Gan's mother cleared the table, and it was almost nine o'clock. She washed everything. Went to bed.
Yang Feng and Brother Gan slept on the same bed, a wooden bed with hard arms, but Yang Feng slept very comfortably. In his sleep, he kept mumbling "Brother Gan, you are so happy..."
When he woke up the next morning and breathed in the fresh air, Yang Feng felt an indescribable sense of comfort. He almost wanted to stay here all his life and grow old.
After breakfast, a text message came from Yang Feng's cell phone. It was from his second uncle Yang Baohua, saying that Zhao Tianpu had been investigated by Shuanggui. His brother-in-law and his son Zhao Cong had been arrested in accordance with the law for intentional injury. .Yang Feng told Brother Qian the news, and then said: "Brother, your matter is over, it's time for me to go back. Come back to the capital with me. With your strength, you will definitely be able to work in the capital in a few years." The capital conquered half of the country."
"Haha, you go back, Fengzi, forget it, just go through it, why bother to do it all over again..." Brother Gan said lightly.
"Then do you plan to stay here all your life and grow old silently? I don't think you will, because this is not your godson's character. You are destined to not be an ordinary person!" Yang Feng looked at his godson. question.
Listening to Yang Feng's words, Brother Gan couldn't help but ask himself, can he really live an ordinary life? Maybe it's just a beautiful dream. As long as there is sunshine, dreams will always be shattered. "I plan to go to the harbor... "
"The seaport? The seaport is pretty good. Maybe it suits your personality. If my godfather needs anything, you can tell me. Just give me a call and I'll be there at any time." Yang Feng said seriously.
"Don't worry, Fengzi. The person in this world who can hurt your godbrother is still in your mother's womb. Just take care of yourself. Remember to learn more quickly. Don't spend all day eating and drinking with your group of friends. , you will have to enter the official career sooner or later and become a good official when the time comes." Brother Gan still educated him uneasily.
"I know, brother, don't worry, uncle and aunt, brother, I'm leaving..." Yang Feng said goodbye.
"Child, wait a minute..." the old man said, taking two big bags and walking out, "Child, there is nothing good at home. Last night, my aunt saw that you liked eating this dried radish, so I brought you some. Soak it in warm water for a few hours at home, then cut it into cubes and mix it with vinegar, sesame oil, green pepper, green onion, ginger, etc. and you can eat it. There are also pancakes that my aunt made a few days ago. I don’t know if you like it. Eat, anyway, we like to eat here. I heard that it is not available in big cities, so just treat it as a souvenir."
"Auntie, what you brought here are all good things. They are much more delicious than the delicacies I used to eat. How could I not like them? You and your uncle should go back. I will come to see you two when I have time." Yang Feng said, and carefully placed the two packages on the passenger seat, as if they were treasures for fear of accidentally losing them.
Yang Feng got into the car and lowered the window, "Uncle, aunt, brother, I'm leaving, you go back..."
"Don't drive so fast on the road, be careful!" Brother Gan finally warned.
"I know, brother..." Yang Feng blew his whistle after saying that and left reluctantly. Looking at the people drifting away in the rearview mirror and the two packages on the passenger seat, Yang Feng still couldn't help but shed tears. Tears.
After Yang Feng left, Brother Gan told his parents that he wanted to go to the seaport. After hearing this, his parents agreed. Young people can't stay with their parents all the time. They have to go out and work hard.
I have discussed it with my parents and will leave tomorrow. Brother Gan plans to install a phone at home before leaving so that his parents can contact him if anything happens in the future. Only in this way can he leave with peace of mind. Then he will go to school before leaving tomorrow. Look at the little land.
Things went on in an orderly manner as planned by Brother Qian. Brother Qian first found someone to install a telephone at home and worked hard for a long time. In the evening, Brother Qian sat alone on the abandoned millstone in the courtyard, looking at the sunset in the west. The sunset, and the familiar scent of cooking will leave again tomorrow. I am destined to be a person who cannot stay. Perhaps, only by staying away from home can I truly be filial to my parents, so as not to disturb their life. And countless boring and boring lives just for fame and fortune.
Someone once said that a real man does not die heroically for a certain cause, but lives humbly for a certain cause. For three years, Brother Gan has always thought that he is a real man, because he can always do it for this beloved land. The land is to die, and now Brother Gan has discovered that his interpretation of the word "man" at that time was so superficial. Therefore, he wants to live, not live humblely, for his parents, for his brothers, and for the heroic dream in his heart. .
The next morning, Brother Gan carried the old green luggage bag he had brought back from Beijing, and gradually traveled far away under the reluctant eyes of his mother and father. The difference from three years ago was that he cried three years ago. , but this time the godfather left with a smile. He believed that with his own hands, he would be able to create a world in the harbor and his parents would be happy.
Brother Qian first arrived at Qianye County No. 1 Middle School to say goodbye to Xiaodi. At this time, Brother Qian saw through the window that Xiaodi was listening to the class seriously. The person in class was none other than the beautiful teacher Zhang Xiaoyan whom Brother Qian met a few days ago. , at this time, Brother Qian saw that Zhang Xiaoyan really acted like a teacher in class and taught the class meticulously.
Zhang Xiaoyan was in class when she suddenly felt a strange look looking at her. She looked out the window and saw that the man named Wang Xiaoqian was looking at her lustfully again a few days ago. Zhang Xiaoyan immediately gave him a roll of her eyes. "Okay, students, let's read this paragraph a few times and feel the author's mood when he wrote this article." After Zhang Xiaoyan finished the arrangement, she walked out of the classroom alone.
"What are you looking at?! Haven't you seen enough?" Zhang Xiaoyan asked angrily.
"How can I see enough of this? I can't see enough in a lifetime..." Brother Gan looked back at Zhang Xiaoyan, and then turned his head to look at Xiaodi sitting under the podium in the first row of the classroom.
"You, you, you bastard!" Beauty Zhang simply couldn't bear it at this time.
"You woman, I just saw you being so serious in class, why are you cursing here! Do I think my own brother is breaking the law?" Brother Gan turned his head and asked with his eyes.
Only then did Zhang Xiaoyan realize that Wang Di was sitting under the podium, and he was caring about his younger brother. She was still being sentimental here, and her face turned red with embarrassment, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "You are the **, you are the **." !" He shouted as he spoke.
When Brother Gan heard this, he felt that this was not bad. If other students heard the misunderstanding, how could he let his younger brother hang out in the school? He thought about it and rushed over, covered Zhang Xiaoyan's lips, and begged for mercy. : "Beauty, I beg you, I'm ** okay, please stop shouting, you want the whole school to know!"
When Zhang Xiaoyan heard this, she immediately shut up. She was a superior teacher in front of the students. How could she destroy her image? But listening to this man's words, it seemed that he was more afraid than herself. Hehe, that would be easy, "Ugh..." Let me go quickly, you want to cover me to death!"
Only then did Brother Gan realize that he was really like a ** now, hugging the beautiful woman and covering her mouth, making his hands covered with Zhang Xiaoyan's fluid. If someone catches him now, even if he has a mouth, he will say I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m teasing the hard-working gardener. It’s okay. Thinking of this, I quickly let go of my hand.
Although Zhang Xiaoyan was once again deceived, she was now dazzled by her small victory. She looked at the man in front of her with a smile and asked as if she was interrogating a prisoner: "Tell me, why are you here?" ?”
"I, I'm here to see my brother, I'm going to the harbor." Brother Gan felt a little guilty for some reason, fearing that the woman in front of him would shout "Get a**..." again, so he answered cautiously.
"Going to the harbor? Why go to the harbor?" Zhang Xiaoyan asked doubtfully.
"Let's relax and work part-time to earn some money. A young man in his twenties can't stay at home all the time."
"I didn't expect that you are quite pursuing... When will you come back?" Zhang Xiaoyan said sarcastically, thinking that you would still go to work. After coming back from the Public Security Bureau that day, her father chased her and asked her about this man for a long time. Regarding the matter, Dad told himself that this man could make trouble in the Central Committee if he beat anyone. He was not an ordinary person. However, he didn't see anything extraordinary about him. He didn't look amazing, and he didn't seem to have any abilities other than being able to fight.
"Well, I'm not sure when I will come back. Anyway, I can come back at any time." Brother Gan thought that I can come back at any time as long as there is something at home. The reason why he chose to leave Beijing and come back was to fulfill his filial piety. Nothing has to do with his parents and family. Damn it. But these words suddenly changed in the ears of Miss Zhang. You can come back at any time. You are going to work, and traveling is not that casual. I thought about it and gave my godbrother a blank look.
‘Zhang, Teacher Zhang, can I ask you a favor? Brother Gan asked guiltily.
"What's the matter? Tell me." Seeing Brother Gan's uncharacteristically coquettish appearance, Zhang Xiaoyan said cheerfully and generously.
"Teacher Zhang, I'm leaving. I hope you can take more care of my brother Wang Di in school..." Brother Gan requested.
"Don't worry about this. As a class teacher, this is what I should do. Tell me your mobile phone number." Zhang Xiaoyan thought to herself that you still have to say this. As a class teacher, this is your responsibility, let alone someone like Wang Di who has been He is the best student in his grade.
"ah?"
"What are you, your mobile phone number? If you don't give me your mobile phone number, if something happens to Wang Di, how can I contact you?"
"Oh." Brother Qian quickly took out his old cell phone, checked his cell phone number, and told Zhang Xiaoyan.
Seeing Brother Gan's actions, Zhang Xiaoyan despised Brother Gan in her heart. Look, you are so stupid that you can't even remember your mobile phone number. In fact, how did she know that Brother Gan's mobile phone used to be connected only to her own department? Contact me, and don’t charge any money, just make a call, there’s no point in remembering it.
"Where's yours?" Brother Qian held his cell phone and waited to take down Zhang Xiaoyan's cell phone number.
"You react very quickly. There are many ways to get a little girl's mobile phone number. You don't need to remember mine. If anything happens, I will just contact you." Zhang Xiaoyan once despised Brother Gan, then turned around, I walked into the classroom with high heels.
After listening to her words, Brother Gan felt a chill and thought to himself, women must not be offended...
Brother Gan and his younger brother met, and after giving some instructions, they got on the train to the harbor alone. Brother Gan believed that this must be a brand new journey, and that he would definitely change.
