Chapter eighty-seven, cowardice
After another week, Wu Qingyun returned to Forest City, Forest City is Wu Qingyun's hometown, so it is called this name because there are not many here, only more mountains and more trees. That's why they used to be poor.
But the mountains, the trees, but the environment is much better than those coastal cities, so it will attract many people from all over the country to visit here. In the past few years, the development on the Lincheng side has also been rapid, and some of the high-rise buildings are also flat. After not coming back for a year, Wu Qingyun found himself feeling very unfamiliar here. There were so many cars on the road that he couldn't believe it was his hometown. But see familiar streets. That's why he knew he was in the right place.
I hailed a taxi and was on my way home. Yi, Qingyun, you are back Wu Qingyun just reported the name of the place, and when he saw the driver turn around, he liked to call alone. Wu Qingyun heard someone call his name, and when he looked up, he realized that the driver was surprised by him. Wu Qingyun couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that familiar face, "Gangzi." You, what, are you driving a taxi now Wu Qingyun couldn't help but smile when he saw Liu Zhigang, this is their childhood, growing up together, from elementary school to high school, they spend most of their time in class, even if they are not in class, they are also in school. After graduating from high school, Wu Qingyun was admitted to a third-rate university. When Liu Zhigang went out to work. Since then, there has been less contact. He remembered that when he came back for the Chinese New Year last year, he didn't even see Liu Zhigang. I didn't expect to see you here today. "Yes, I have no choice but to make a living".
I'm tired of working outside and my boss is always getting me in trouble. So I came back in a rage. Now I bought the car and rented it out. What about you? You came back early. You look like you're doing a good job. Haha "Not bad. That's all. It's not bad to drive a taxi. I'm tired, but I'm free."
"It's been a long time since we've seen each other, haven't we. Why don't we have a drink?" Gangzi said to Wu Qingyun with a smile. Have a drink. You still like to drink, but you have to drive. No, if you want to have a drink, I'll treat you to a drink after work at my house, okay, okay, I don't drink, I don't drink, I don't drive, it's a pleasure to see you. Well, that's it. I'm not running today. Let's go back now. Liu Zhigang smiled and patted his head. Normally, he doesn't pack up and leave, he just picks up a few more people on the road.
After all, in such a small city, unlike a big city, it is normal to have a car with only a few guests.
But now Liu Zhigang is not in the mood to pretend to be a guest. After chatting with Liu Zhigang for a while, I also heard from his mouth about the changes in the city this year. I have to say that this year, there are still a lot of changes here. Especially in the X-C area, dozens of tall buildings have been built in order for Wu Qingyun to go there, and they may get lost.
Not just in the city, in the town, and even in the village. I've heard that a lot of people in his village are now building new houses. Wu Qingyun heard it from his father. At that time, hearing the envious voice in his father's mouth, Wu Qingyun also called his father for 500,000 yuan and asked him to repair his home. Of course, Wu Qingyun said it again last time about the sale of jade in Tengchong. Anyway, that's what he told Li Qingjing, and if he said it to his family again, he didn't need a draft. I don't know if Dad fixed the house after six months. When asked Liu Zhigang, he didn't say anything, saying that he would let him go back and have a look, okay, he didn't say it, Wu Qingyun also took him there, there was no way. Talking, as if time always flies. Soon, Wu Qingyun and his men came to the city. Wu Qingyun called Gangzi into the city. He said he was going to buy something.
Gangzi should have gone with him. But Wu Qingyun said that he was tired from driving, let him take a break, and he would be back soon. Gangzi didn't say anything more, just nodded in agreement. After waiting for half an hour, Wu Qingyun only came back with two or three big bags.
"Oh my God, you are too powerful, you have bought so many things in such a short time" Liu Zhigang couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Wu Qingyun. "I didn't buy a lot of things. I returned the bags. As soon as I got here, I took them away and "Oh, I told you, how can you buy so many things so quickly?" ”
There is no doubt about Liu Zhigang's arrival, because it is the only reasonable explanation. But he didn't know that Wu Qingyun couldn't send couriers, these were the places he had just found a nobody, and when he took them out, he didn't expect to meet a station named Liu Zhigang. At first, he planned to take the bus back to the village and then find a place at the entrance of the village where no one was driving out. Passing by, he happened to see a delivery tricycle, so the car was parked here. Sitting in the car again, Wu Qingyun and the others went directly to the village.
I don't know why, I still have a lot to say to Gangzi just now, but this time, the closer he is to the village, the faster his heart beats, is this the legend that the closer to home the situation becomes, the more timid he is? But it has to do with the fact that he has been abroad for more than half of this year. In foreign countries, he saw many life-and-death things, which made him look forward to and miss the safety of the mountain village even more. Gangzi also saw Wu Qingyun's abnormality. But he only knew how to laugh and didn't say anything anymore, Wu Qingyun's current situation was very familiar to him, he hadn't been back for several years, and he behaved like him at that time. And a few days ago, he also pulled guests who had returned from home for decades, and his performance was even better than Wu Qingyun at that time.
But this kind of situation, most people will appear in those who are old, I didn't expect that Wu Qingyun would have so many regrets when he was so young. The car was speeding on the road, and seeing the familiar environment retreating rapidly, Wu Qingyun also looked out the window and passed. Finally, his eyes saw a yellow bighorn tree, which was not the tree at the entrance of the village. I've heard it's hundreds of years old. Sean has been there for a long time since he was a child, and he has many fond memories of being there. After a glance, Wu Qingyun's heart suddenly fell into memory.
When he came to his senses, he found himself at the door of the house, and Liu Zhigang pulled him directly to the door of the house. But when he opened the door, he saw that the place outside was familiar to him, but he found that the house where he had lived for more than twenty years was gone.
Instead, a three-story building. Nice tiles on the outside. At this time, Wu Qingyun didn't know that this was repaired by his father at home. There is also the money sent back by Wu Qingyun. Li youde to really pushed his home to the old house and rebuilt a new one. Uncle Youde, when Wu Qingyun, a guest at home, was looking at his new home, Liu Zhigang was there choking his throat and shouting. If he was there, he had just fallen, and Wu Qingyun saw a familiar figure from inside, it was not his mother or who it was. I haven't seen her for a year, and Wu Qingyun found that she had more gray hair on her head and a few more wrinkles on her face. This broke Wu Qingyun's heart. The corners of my eyes are starting to get wet.
Think about how much of the year you've been on the go, why don't you think about mom and dad. I didn't go home because I was afraid they would say bad things about me, and now I regret it. If he could go back to his little world and make up for it with the good things in his little world, they wouldn't be like this. Wu Qingyun felt very unfilial.
Obviously, Zhao Hongfang didn't have that many ideas. When he saw Wu Qingyun, his eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over. He hadn't seen his son in a year. She loved him very much, and just as she was about to come over to help Wu Qingyun with her luggage, she suddenly saw Wu Qingyun running over with red eyes and grabbed her.
Zhao Hongfang couldn't help but be stunned, her son has grown up, and he hasn't kept himself for many years. Although she didn't know what was going on with her son, she still patted Wu Qingyun's back gently, just like in childhood, she was afraid that it would hurt her son. "Well, Gangzi is still nearby. Such a big person is not afraid of other people's jokes, although she said so, but from the smile on the corner of her mouth, you can know that she is very happy this time. When she wanted to take the bag in Gangzi's hand, Wu Qingyun took it first. Wu Qingyun held one in his hand, and the last steel was also helped to carry it up, "Auntie, I'll deal with it, you go first." ”
"Well, thank you. Xiaoyun, you have to thank Gangzi, he helped us a lot when you were not at home. "Kind auntie, it's what I should do" Liu Zhigang smiled and shook his head. Wu Qingyun looked at Gangzi and nodded. Although he didn't say anything, he remembered it in his heart. Since I was a child, I didn't need to say a lot of words, and I understood them at a glance. No matter how much you say, it's best to take action. In the future, he will find an opportunity to help Gangzi. He should help him in every way.
