Chapter 405: Three Visits to the Thatched House (Five Shifts and Four Changes)
Chapter 405: Three Visits to the Thatched House
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Chu Qiankun, who was alone and sat on his own sofa.
Lonely, lonely, and gloomy back!
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, listening to the sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside the window, numbly sending New Year's messages on my mobile phone, or replying to New Year's messages.
Happy Chinese New Year's Eve! Happy New Year! Happy Chinese New Year!
Just, is he happy?
Looking at the posthumous photo of his parents, he was stunned and wandered for nine days.
Since the death of his parents, even though he has been a human being for two lifetimes, his heart is still unhealthy and imperfect.
In the deepest part, the most important piece is always missing.
Perhaps, he became so attentive that he would subconsciously provoke women, and there was also this part!
Perhaps, surrounded by women, he has a sense of security!
Perhaps, that's a good reason!

"Fei Lao, I'm really sincere!"
Beside a charcoal stove unique to the countryside, Chu Qiankun said to an old man with a wisp of beard and gray hair.
"You are very sincere, and I have experienced that. However, I'm really old and don't want to toss anymore. ”
The old man, who was called Fei Lao, said while fiddling with the charcoal fire.
"Fei Lao, don't say you're old, I see that your body is very strong, and your face looks even more ruddy than me!" Liu Tianyun sat between Fei Lao and Chu Qiankun, and answered.
"Hahaha, Xiaoyanagi, it's not the first time we've met. Originally, I always thought that you were a very honest person, but I didn't expect to be very skilled in slapping sycophants!"
Fei Lao's smile was full of energy, and the wrinkles on his face that represented the traces of time were layered up.
Chu Qiankun sighed with emotion, where is this person who is nearly seventy years old, and he is full of energy, I am afraid that it will make many young people embarrassed.
Fei Lao felt that Liu Tianyun's words were sycophants, but Chu Qiankun felt that he was telling the truth.
"Fei Lao, I don't agree with what you say. My uncle, since I was a child, I haven't seen anyone he flatters, and he always tells the truth. ”
"Hahaha, you little ghosts, you talk in one set, my old man can't talk about you. Again, I'm older now, and my body isn't as good as before. When I come back this time, I don't plan to go back, and the leaves return to my roots. ”
Fei Lao touched his snow-white beard and shook his head slightly.
"Uncle, are you really not going to leave when you come back this time?"
In the room, there were a total of four people, and now the one who was talking was a middle-aged man of forty years old.
His skin is dark and rough, and he looks like a person who has been working in the fields all year round.
"I said, you kid, didn't I say I wouldn't go a year ago? Why don't you believe it?"
Fei Lao looked at him helplessly, looking at his honest nephew.
He has three siblings, he is the eldest, and there is a younger brother and a younger sister below.
My sister is married in another county, and she usually has less contact.
The two brothers live in the same village and move around a lot.
When their father was alive, the conditions of the family were okay, and the two brothers also married and had children one after another.
The two families help each other, and although the small life is hard, it can be regarded as happiness in the ordinary.
Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived.
At that time, a sudden plague swept through their entire township, and their village was the most important of the disaster.
When this disaster passed, he and this nephew were the only survivors of the two brothers' families.
suffered such a heavy blow, and he was also discouraged back then.
After raising this nephew alone, he left this sad place and traveled all over the country.
By chance, from the hands of a visiting Taoist priest, he not only learned a few tricks to strengthen his body, but also learned a good skill of roasting tea.
Since then, he has fallen in love with the art of tea, and found a job as a tea maker in Phuoc Province, relying on his skillful and unique roasting skills.
While making money, while studying tea art, the idle clouds and wild cranes of life.
Stir-fried tea looks like fried tea, but in fact, fried tea is life.
With the continuous improvement of tea art and the deepening of his understanding of the tea ceremony, his mind has become more and more peaceful.
The scars of losing loved ones and suffering heavy blows have slowly healed.
The mood can also be said to have improved the boss.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to be over seventy years old and still have such a healthy body, calm and leisurely!
Chu Qiankun's understanding of Fei Lao had only been obtained from some rural legends before.
Later, more than a month ago, he asked Liu Tianyun to start looking for and inquiring about him.
Lucky enough!
It didn't take much time, and I didn't go through many twists and turns, but through a friend of Liu Tianyun's friend, I inquired about Fei Lao's situation.
So, when Fei Lao returned home for the New Year, Liu Tianyun contacted Fei Lao through his previous relationship.
Because he didn't know Chu Qiankun's ultimate purpose, Liu Tianyun was still very cautious in his contact with Fei Lao, and he never revealed any intentions in front of him.
As for Fei Lao's situation, it is more from other people's mouths and knocks on the side.
After Chu Qiankun returned to Shanshui City, Liu Tianyun specially talked to him about Fei Lao.
It was also at that time that Chu Qiankun told Liu Tianyun some thoughts in his heart.
It's just that because of the Chinese New Year, they didn't come to the door rashly.
Until today, the seventh day of the first lunar month.
Chu Qiankun took Liu Tianyun to visit and said the purpose straight to the point.
It's just that this day's visit, persuasion, was obviously a failure.
On the way back to Shanshui County, Liu Tianyun asked Chu Qiankun: "This Fei Lao is really stubborn, no matter how you say it, it's useless?"
"It's normal to be old, capable, and stubborn. Chu Qiankun drove the car and said lightly, looking indifferent.
"You're not going to just give up, are you?"
Liu Tianyun opened the car window, took out a cigarette and lit it.
"Give up, don't you know me yet? Do you think it's possible?" There are many bends and narrow roads, and the car is not driving very fast, Chu Qiankun said with a smile: "I also had Uncle Liuhuang's insistence on looking at the thatched house back then. ”
"There are a lot of people who know how to make tea, why do you have to be him?" Liu Tianyun spat out a puff of smoke rings and continued to ask.
"I can't tell, maybe it's his attitude towards tea, right?"
Chu Qiankun said that the simulation was two-fold, and his eyes looked at the car that had been following behind.
The next day, Chu Qiankun and Liu Tianyun visited Fei's hometown.
When he entered the courtyard door, Fei Lao was basking in the sun in the open space in front of the house, a reclining chair, and a cup of green tea.
Relaxed, cozy and laid-back!
"Fei Lao, you are really leisurely!"
The gifts in the hands of the two of them are no less than yesterday's.
"Why are you here again, and what are you doing with so many things, isn't it a waste?"
Stopping the swaying recliner, Fei Lao stretched out his hand and pointed to the seven big bags and eight big boxes in their hands.
"These things are not for you, we are here to pay New Year's greetings to Uncle Fei today. ”
Chu Qiankun said, stuffing the gift box in his hand into the hand of Fei Pengzhu, who was silly on the side.
"You guys!"
Fei Lao Fei Bai'an shook his head and pointed his finger at Chu Qiankun.
This is an excuse when he hears it, how can he not know Chu Qiankun's true intentions?
Weasel New Year's greetings to chickens, don't have a plan!
"Don't believe it, Uncle Fei, the two of us, oh no, it's four people, but I'm going to disturb you for a lunch today, don't you mind. ”
Fei Pengzhu, who was honest, was still carrying the gift box, looking at Fei Bai'an, not knowing how to answer.
"What are you doing standing there stupidly, why don't you hurry up and prepare lunch?" Fei Baian scolded with a smile.
After Fei Pengzhu left, Fei Bai'an continued: "It's okay to eat, don't say anything else." Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people. ”
