Chapter 14: Old Friends Reunited

Hearing his father's voice, Fang Qingming hurriedly turned the page where Song Xiangran was secretly photographed picking peaches.

"Oh, looking at some promotional photos. Fang Qingming sat up and handed the album to Fang Weihua.

After taking the album and flipping through a few pages, Fang Weihua nodded and said, "Yes, there has been some progress in photography." “

Suddenly, not knowing which one to see, Fang Weihua's brows tightened, and he said in disbelief: "This, this, this...... How could it be ......"

Noticing his father's strange appearance, Fang Qingming stood up and walked to Fang Weihua's side with some suspicion, and asked, "What's wrong, Dad?"

But Fang Weihua ignored Fang Qingming, but ran to the living room with the photo album.

"Miyun! Miyun! I found it! I found it!" Fang Weihua was so excited that he couldn't speak smoothly, and pointed to the photo album tremblingly.

Chen Meiyun, who was watching TV, didn't react for a while, and looked at Fang Weihua suspiciously: "What did you find, why are you so excited?"

"I've found them! The beard on Fang Weihua's mouth couldn't stop trembling when he spoke.

"Them?" Chen Meiyun realized what Fang Weihua's "found" meant, and quickly turned off the TV, covering her mouth in disbelief and looking at Fang Weihua, "Really, Weihua, you didn't lie to me?"

Seeing that Chen Meiyun's tears were about to burst out of her eyes, Fang Weihua hurriedly handed her the album and said, "Look at this photo, although it is a lot older, it is ...... But that's them!"

The people in the photo, because of the long hours of wind and sun exposure and farm work, have dark complexions and rough skin, but their eyes are as clear as ever, full of the vicissitudes of the world and still sincere.

Fang Qingming, who was standing on the side, looked at his parents' abnormal appearance today in confusion, and asked, "Parents, what's wrong, why are you so excited?"

Lying on Fang Weihua's shoulder and sobbing for a while, Chen Meiyun came to her senses, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said: "Qingming, do you remember, when I was a child, there was an Uncle Song and Aunt Gao, they liked you, they always hugged you and bought you delicious and fun." “

Recalling the events of twenty years ago, Fang Qingming nodded hesitantly and said, "Yes, I remember." Didn't you say that in the early years, they were forced to go to the countryside because of historical legacies?"

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Fang Qingming also looked at his parents in disbelief and said, "Could it be ...... Is that them?"

It wasn't until Fang Weihua and Chen Meiyun in front of him nodded firmly that Fang Qingming recalled it in his heart.

No wonder, when he met Song Jianguo and Gao Huijuan, Fang Qingming would have an inexplicable sense of familiarity and intimacy, and Fang Qingming always felt that Song Jianguo and Gao Huijuan were different from ordinary peasant families, but had the feeling of intellectuals.

It turned out that Fang Qingming just thought that those familiarity and intimacy came from the approachability of Song Jianguo and Gao Huijuan, and those temperaments similar to those of his parents, Fang Qingming also thought that they were probably open-minded enough to live like their parents.

But what Fang Qingming never expected was that that kind of open-minded realm would not only be available after reading thousands of books, but also need to travel thousands of miles.

"Son, you took the photo, you must know where that place is, right?" Chen Meiyun held Fang Qingming's hand, her eyes full of expectation.

Fang Qingming nodded and said, "Yes, I know." “

"Good, good, good. Fang Weihua rarely cries in front of people, even his family, but at this time, he is already in tears and unable to extricate himself.

"Wei Hua, hurry up and pack up, we will leave tomorrow and go to Jianguo and Huijuan!" Chen Meiyun said, and couldn't wait to turn around and trot into the house.

Fang Qingming hesitated and said, "Ah, but parents, I still have a task here......

Although Fang Qingming himself also wanted to go to Xiaolin Village, Tang Yunlong was really angry last time, so he gave him so many things to deal with.

Fang Weihua in the room shouted: "I'll call Yunlong later, can he not know the importance of this matter?"

Early the next morning, Chen Meiyun and Fang Weihua pulled Fang Qingming out of the quilt and urged him to leave.

finally got a good night's sleep, but was called up by his parents, Fang Qingming felt a little resentful in his heart. You know, his terrible upright cousin, in order to make himself remember for a long time, how many days has he not slept well?

It's just that after thinking about it, I can see Song Xiangran today...... Ah no, no, it was to accompany his parents to meet very good uncles and aunts, Fang Qingming suddenly felt like a chicken blood, and quickly washed up and dressed neatly.

Because Xiaolin Village is relatively remote, there are more or less potholes on the way, but Fang Weihua and Chen Meiyun did not have a word of complaint along the way. On the contrary, the two of them talked and laughed, completely unaware of the unevenness on the ground.

"Mom and Dad, I can't imagine that you two can really endure hardships. Fang Qingming has been to Xiaolin Village many times, and every time he has to run this road, he is somewhat uncomfortable.

Fang Weihua, who was in the back seat, said disapprerovingly: "Boy, you don't know how much you have lived, in the past, it was the time of rectification, and this road is not worth mentioning at all compared to those hardships." “

Chen Meiyun, who was next to her, recalled those days, and quickly nodded and agreed: "Yes, just those of us who were not exiled to the countryside are enough for those days." I really don't know how Huijuan and his wife survived. “

"Alas. “

As he spoke, two heavy sighs rang out in the carriage at the same time.

Fang Qingming, who was driving, no longer made a sound, since his parents became senior cadres of the military region, over the years, Fang Qingming has been living a worry-free life, over time, Fang Qingming almost forgot that Fang Weihua and Chen Meiyun were both born in poor families.

Even if the training in the army is a little hard and tiring, it is not worth mentioning compared to the hardships suffered by the parents.

Finally, the iconic big locust tree at the entrance of Xiaolin Village appeared in Fang Qingming's sight.

"Mom and Dad, do you see the big locust tree? Fang Qingming also said with some excitement.

Today, Fang Qingming did not drive the military car, but drove a relatively low-key black car of his own.

So the people of Xiaolin Village thought that tourists were coming, but there were no tourists to make an appointment today?

Fang Qingming, who was dressed in casual clothes, got out of the car, and no one in Xiaolin Village recognized him for a while.

Suddenly, there was a sharp-eyed one, and he said in surprise: "Oh, isn't this Officer Fang?"

Everyone hurriedly greeted them.
