A big deal

Next Chapter

It was a hot day in July, and because there had been no rain for a long time, earthworm-like cracks appeared in the wheat fields that had been harvested. The blazing umbrellas were stretched high in the air, the uneven walls of the old-fashioned earthen buildings seemed to be unable to withstand the 40-degree heat, and they were yellowed by the sun, the black wooden doors were creaked by the people coming and going, and the latches and locks were rusted by the years. The two old locust trees in the center of the courtyard are particularly attractive at this time, and the shade of the leafy branches reflects a large area of shade. At this time, a group of middle-aged men and women were gathering in the shade and talking about something, and it could be seen from their faces that something earth-shattering had happened in this family.

In a dilapidated auto repair shop, there are a few silver wrenches scattered everywhere in the dirty underground black. At this time, a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old was lying under a van that was more dilapidated than the repair shop, concentrating on screwing. The feet in flip-flops were like antiques, and they couldn't tell the time of the last cleaning, the blue jeans had been repeatedly scratched by the engine oil and were as shiny as wax, and the black T-shirt on the upper body that had been rubbed by the faucet was barely clean. However, this face is quite delicate, with a slightly dark face, revealing an angular cold hand, dagger-like thick eyebrows that are wide and well-proportioned, and the dark and deep eyes under the double eyelids are particularly radiant. The bridge of Ying's nose and the thin, lightly pursed lips seem out of place with the scene at hand.

"Forrest Gump has it repaired? I just got a job, and someone died in the East Village, and I need to use an ice coffin immediately. This is a breakthrough, as soon as there is no person, it will taste after half a day. At this time, a fat middle-aged man weighing at least three hundred pounds rushed over from the gate while panting.

Forrest Gump was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then quickly got out from under the car, looked at the middle-aged man in surprise and asked, "Who is the East Village?"

"I don't know about this, I only rent my ice coffin, I don't ask much about the rest, and besides, I don't live in that village, even if I tell anyone, I don't know anyone! What's wrong? Surprised, your hometown?" the fat man wiped the sweat from his face with his white and black towel, and his face was slightly gentle.

"Oh, it's okay. What, the car was repaired. It's still a ** disease, just pay attention when you usually open it. Forrest Gump immediately came back to his senses and said with a smile.

"Well, old rules, go back to your boss!" the fat man habitually patted Forrest Gump on the shoulder, and then walked towards his red and gray van with paint off.

Not long after the fat man left, Forrest Gump's second-hand oppo flip phone that dropped two keys rang immediately, and the ringtone was still red and purple (QQ love).

It was his sister-in-law who called, her voice hoarse and choked. She didn't tell Forrest Gump what happened, she just urged him to hurry home.

Although Forrest Gump has little culture, he is also a smart man, because of the foreshadowing of the fat man, he can guess that the so-called dead people in this village must have a lot to do with his family.

Who could it be?

At this time, Forrest Gump's face instantly turned pale, and he didn't even dare to continue to think about it. Because of all the family and relatives who are related to him in his mind, except for his father, who is mentally ill, the others usually have a minor illness or something.

His father was a very good senior elementary school teacher, and he was nearly sixty years old because of his old age. A super honest man who has dedicated his life to education. A few years ago, his father was the only college student in the village and even the entire town to be admitted to university. It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, because the family was too poor at that time (for social reasons, everyone was poor at that time. So halfway through the reading, I was forced to frustrate. In his father's time, it was still an era of earning points for food, and the land belonged to the state. If you want to have enough to eat, you must go to the team to earn points through hard work and then exchange food for food. After frustration, my father seemed to be stimulated by something, and hid at home to read all day long, even if the family couldn't open the pot, he didn't care about it and was indifferent, but it made his grandfather angry enough. Later, my grandfather really had no choice, so he thought that it might be better for my father to start a family. It happened that at that time, the fourth daughter of the old Cui family in the west of the village had just reached the age of talking about marriage, so the grandfather didn't say a word, and immediately borrowed half a bag of noodles and asked the matchmaker to propose marriage. As soon as the old Cui family heard that his father was a cultural person, they immediately responded, and they got married on the spot and set the day. After marriage, his father's luck also turned around, and he was introduced by an acquaintance to become a primary school teacher in the village. After that, my father seemed to be a different person, radiant, and even shifted all his thoughts to work. God lived up to his wishes, and his class ranked in the top five in the county for several consecutive years. In this way, day after day, year after year, because he was too enthusiastic about work, my father forgot to turn off the stove twice during the midnight correction of the test papers, resulting in gas poisoning twice. And he didn't go to the hospital twice, the villagers just carried his unconscious father to the snow and blew the wind, and when he came to his senses, he did it hastily. Later, my father had sequelae, there was a problem with his cranial nerves, he thought all day long, and finally it was so serious that he hallucinated, and he always felt that someone was scolding him, and even knocked around the yard with a hammer in the middle of the night, and he stayed in a mental hospital three times to no avail. Later, the county leaders saw the merits of the past and let his father retire early and recuperate at home.

Forrest Gump, who had lost his soul, stood straight in the middle of the empty repair shop, and the wrench and discarded iron sheet on the ground rushed towards him like a demon that had given him a soul. The smell of rust and engine oil, which usually accompanies each other, attacked the internal organs like poisonous wolf smoke at this time, and the pain was so painful that I almost forgot to breathe.

His eyes were covered with fog and white, and his eyes were like springs.

Time is out of gear, slow to freeze.

I don't know how long it took, Forrest Gump was dragged back to reality by the word "maybe" that suddenly appeared in his mind. Maybe...... When it comes to the necessary part, the human instinct activates the method of self-exclusion.

Forrest Gump, who came back to his senses, didn't care too much, threw away the wrench in his hand, wiped his wet eyes with the back of his hand that was not stained with many ashes, picked up his mobile phone and made a call to the boss, cleaned it with the speed of a soldier, and then quickly rushed back after changing into clean clothes.

From the county seat to the village for more than 20 miles, there is a bus every morning and evening. It's one o'clock in the afternoon, and the next trip will leave at half past six in the evening.

After rummaging through his shriveled trouser pockets, Forrest Gump, who couldn't afford to sit for a taxi, finally chose to take the national highway bus, which was quite a lot, but it could only take him to the side of the national highway three or four miles away from the village, and he had to climb a super slope during the period. In this weather, if it weren't for the big event of the sky falling, no one would make such a choice.

Out of the repair shop, Forrest Gump, who was standing on the side of the road waiting for the car, was sweating profusely for less than ten minutes, and his white short-sleeved back that he had just changed into was wet.

On the empty country road, the road surface is repeatedly baptized by rain and the sun is exposed to the sun all year round, and the middle of the road is crushed by people and vehicles. The weeds on the roadside were covered with a thin layer of soil, and the tips of the leaves were scorched yellow. In addition to the wild cats and dogs scurrying around in search of shady ground, there was a brisk pedestrian walking from time to time towards the old earthen building at the end of the path. It's like I'm in a hurry to do something, and it's like I'm going to join in the fun.

"Alas, what a good person you say, it's a pity to just say that it's gone. As far as our wave of students is concerned, if it weren't for Teacher Liu's wholehearted teaching, don't talk about the province, they are all farming at home! Okay, I won't tell you yet, I'm almost there. Well, you should hurry up and buy a ticket to come back! It can be regarded as a way to repay the teacher's kindness and send off the last ride. ”。 A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and a name brand said on the phone as he walked.

"Brother Kui is here". Before the man reached his destination, someone nodded and greeted him ten meters away.

Speaking of this Brother Kui, there are two brushes. When I was a child, my family was poor and couldn't eat, and I didn't go to school well, so I skipped school twice a day to spoil the villagers, but whenever I could eat the crops in my mouth, he stole them all over again. The people in the village are angry and dead, because this kid runs faster than a monkey. After Mr. Liu came to the school, for the sake of the future of their bear children, he worked hard, from the first grade to the fifth grade, and led their class for five consecutive years, before he brought these bear children from only one passing grade in the class to only one failing student, and the failing student was Zhang Kui in front of him. But don't look at this kid, he doesn't study well, his business brain is absolutely numb, and he is also very upright and righteous. At that time, he also swore in front of the whole class that "if Teacher Liu doesn't take us one day, I will stop school immediately", and then he really stopped studying in the year he entered junior high school. After suspension, he left his hometown and followed a group of adults in the village to work in the provincial capital. However, over the years, he has been quite hearted, and every New Year's holiday, he will bring some good cigarettes and wine to see Mr. Liu. This time, it was because I needed a hometown visa to get a household registration for my child in the provincial capital, so I returned to the village yesterday. As soon as I heard that something had happened to Mr. Liu here, I immediately put down everything in my hand and rushed over.

After a few brief greetings at the door, Zhang Kui ran to the house in three steps and two steps.

The small room was already full of people at this time, and the large ceiling fan on the roof had been opened to the limit, and the three fan blades formed a looming circle, and the fan shaft swayed from side to side as if it was about to be unable to support it. The reason for the crowd is too dense, and the fan is actually hot air.

In the deepest corner of the room lay a single bed, on which the man lay motionless, covered with a brown mat and a white cloth over his face. The people closest to the bed were like they had just cried, and now they couldn't cry, but their eyes were like cracked dams, and they kept shedding tears.

"Auntie", Zhang Kui walked through the crowd to an old lady who was nearly sixty years old next to the bed, held her hands and choked and struggled to squeeze out two words. It may be the reason for the touching scene, at this time his eye frame is red, and tears are rolling.

"Da Kui is here, what do you say, ......" The old lady didn't wait for the words to finish, and she cried again.

Due to the limited culture, Zhang Kui really couldn't think of how to deal with this scene at this time, maybe in his life, money is the most real emotional exchange. Letting go of the old lady's hand, he took out a card from his pocket, and said tremblingly: "Auntie, Mr. Liu has educated people all his life, but he is extremely harsh on himself and his family, he is reluctant to eat and wear, and he has not passed a day of good life, so he left." In the past, I was not competitive in my studies, but Mr. Liu worked me. Although I didn't have any achievements in my studies, Mr. Liu taught me a lot in terms of life. It can be said that without him, I would not know what gratitude is, and I would not have known that I still have to keep my credibility as a human being, let alone have achieved what I have today. There are 80,000 yuan in this card, and Forrest Gump will be twenty in two years, and when he reaches the age of marriage, there will be a lot of places for the family to use money in the future, and you have no income or anything at your age. You can keep this money first, and I will repay Mr. Liu for his kindness to me back then, and you will tell me if it is not enough. ”。

As soon as Zhang Kui finished speaking, he immediately stuffed the card into the old lady's hand, and then took two steps back.

At this time, when the old lady heard the word Forrest Gump, her eyes turned white and she fainted......
