Chapter 52 The son wants to raise but does not wait
The next morning, the train finally arrived in Yongning County. After getting off the train, the three of them called a motorcycle and headed straight to the countryside. An hour later, Li Liang looked at the familiar environment in front of him, and his tears kept flowing.
He staggered, step by step, towards the home. The door was locked, but Ye Fei opened it for him, Li Liang walked into the house, and he went directly to the place where Li Hui lived. Looking at the empty room and the empty bed, Li Liang finally couldn't help crying.
"Dad, you're really leaving!"
"Why don't you wait for me, I'm back, your Liangzi is back!"
"Dad......!"
Ye Fei let Li Liang cry bitterly for a while, until Li Liang's voice began to be hoarse, and Ye Fei said slowly. "Let's go, I'll take you to your father's grave. ”
After speaking, Ye Fei took the lead and walked out, and then under the leadership of Li Jiangnan, he climbed to the top of the mountain behind the house and came to his grave. It is said that it is a grave, but in fact it is a small dirt bag, and a tombstone has not yet been erected.
"This is where your dad sleeps, if there's anything you want to say, just say it to your dad and he'll hear it. ”
"I'll be waiting for you at your house, and I have something to tell you. ”
After speaking, Ye Fei shook his head, then turned around silently and returned to Li Hui's house. This time it was the arrival of the open, so Ye Fei could take a closer look at Li Hui's home. In the hall, tables, stools, stairs, hoes, bowls and pans, .......
Everything is very old, and it is hard to imagine that Li Hui, who lives here, would have so many savings. 550,000, even if it is placed in the county seat, it is a very considerable number. However, Li Hui guarded such a "huge amount of money", not only did not move at all, but also kept trying to find ways to increase it, so that one day Li Liang would come back and be able to build a beautiful new house for him. But now Li Liang is back, and Li Hui himself is gone.
"......Whew!" Ye Fei sat silently on the stool at the door, he looked at the sky in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking. I don't know how long it took, at least the sun had risen to the highest, and Li Liang finally walked back slowly. My eyes are red and swollen, and I should have been crying for a long time.
Ye Fei nodded: "Let's go, your father's funeral was organized by the old people in the village, you should go and thank them." This is what Li Jiangnan means, to receive the favor of others, and to think about reciprocation. Li Jiangnan led the way in front, and Ye Fei took Li Liang to follow behind and walked to the nearest house.
The door was closed, and Ye Fei pointed and said, "You should remember here, Old Man Zhang is your father's best friend before, and he also helped your father wear a shroud, go ahead." ”
Li Liang silently walked to the door and knocked on the door. Soon, the door opened, and an old man in his sixties looked at Li Liang outside the door and was stunned. After all, he hasn't come back for ten years, and half of Li Liang's head is now burned black, and the old man didn't recognize who it was for a while. Looking at the familiar old man in front of him, how could Li Liang not recognize his father's best friend before his death, Uncle Zhang, who often teased him when he was a child, Li Liang's eyes were red, and he fell to the ground with a snap, and his forehead knocked towards the cold ground.
"Uncle Zhang, my dad is annoying your old man!"
Uncle Zhang trembled: "Is it Li Liang, Li Liang, you're back." ”
Seeing Li Liang's non-stop kowtowing, Uncle Zhang hurriedly helped Li Liang up. "Good boy, good boy, just come back. You already know about your father's business.
Li Liang's tears began to flood again. "Well, I'm back! The children and grandchildren are not filial, and I can't see my father's last face, so I ....... ”
Uncle Zhang sighed: "No one could have imagined this matter, Old Man Li is usually in good health, who knew that such a thing would happen, this is not your fault." ”
Li Liang shook his head silently: "Uncle Zhang, I have to go to other homes, and I will come back to your house in the afternoon." ”
"Hey, go ahead. Uncle Zhang nodded.
After that, Ye Fei led Li Liang to run all the houses in the village. These are all helpful, some of them contribute money, some people contribute, after all, a funeral is not something that one or two people can solve. Whenever Li Liang went to the door of a house, he always knelt down and kowtowed, and then said, "My dad is annoying you!"
This is also the custom here, which can be regarded as a notification that a relative in the family has died. Originally, this was to be done when Li Hui just died, but Li Liang could only do it now. Kneeling down all the way, Li Liang's pants, which were already bad, were completely worn out on his knees, and his forehead was also covered with dirt and dust. The red and swollen eyes had no tears to shed at this point, they had dried up. At night, the people in the village gradually gathered at Li Liang's house and arranged for people to set up ten tables. At the dinner table, the old people comforted Li Liang one after another, and no one mentioned Li Liang's eight years of not returning.
It's just a burn on Li Liang's face, and he asked many times.
In the end, everyone could only sigh that providence made people.
With so many uncles and uncles who have watched him grow up since childhood, Li Liang's mood finally began to gradually settle down. And Ye Fei sighed silently, and then left silently. He is no longer needed here.
For Li Liang, he hated and pitied him. When he first heard about it, Ye Fei couldn't wait to beat Li Liang hard. If you don't return home for ten years, the word unfilial piety will never run away, and the father and son are gone, which is definitely a loss of morality.
But when he saw Li Liang for the first time, the shock also made Ye Fei cry. Ten thousand yuan, broken clothes and sheds, green vegetables and tofu .......
All of this made Ye Fei sad. What kind of person can still pay most of the money to the father at home every month under such circumstances, just hoping that the father at home will live a better life. If, if Li Liang could pay five hundred less, no, three hundred a month, Li Liang's life would be completely different.
Ye Fei thought that he couldn't do such a thing. In the end, Ye Fei still failed to beat Li Liang hard.
Stepping on the train home, Ye Fei silently glanced in the direction of Li Jiangnan's hometown. Here, he learned a lot.
Such a situation must not happen to oneself. Ye Fei swore silently. When I got home, it was nine o'clock in the morning on the weekend. However, because of Li Liang's matter, Ye Fei's mood was not very good, even if it was sunny outside, Ye Fei had no intention of going out. In addition, catching the train in the past two days really made Ye Fei tired, so he slept in bed for a day, and didn't get up in a daze until the next morning. Neither Lin Yue nor his parents bothered him.
His heart is so empty, and Li Liang's affairs made him confused about life. Is Li Liang right or wrong? He went out to work, and almost all the money he earned was paid back to his family, but he lived every day with vegetables and tofu, hoping that his father at home would have a better life.
This is undoubtedly a rare filial son in the new generation. However, in the same way, he went out to work and did not return home for ten years, although he was disabled due to an accident, and he was afraid that his father would not be able to accept it. However, he finally made his father worry, and he didn't see his son for the last time when he died. The father and the child are gone. This is undoubtedly something that can be criticized by everyone, and this is the fall of morality. But, is Li Liang counted?
Ye Fei really didn't understand why a family with a loving father and filial piety would develop into a tragic ending like Li Hui and Li Liang. In a blink of an eye, a week is about to pass, on this day, after school ends, Ye Fei waited for the girl at the school gate, and the two went home together.
However, when she gradually walked to the vicinity of her home, the little girl suddenly pointed to the front and said with a surprised face: "Hey, brother, there are so many people there." ”
Ye Fei looked up, indeed, I don't know why, there were many people gathered around .......
No, wait a minute, there, isn't that my house? Ye Fei's eyes widened, and then he finally confirmed, yes, there were many, many people gathered around his door. Damn, what's going on?
"Let's go, go over and take a look!" Ye Fei walked up quickly, what the hell happened, there were so many people gathered around his door.
"Ye Fei is back, come on, let everyone let!" Most of the encirclement is surrounded by neighbors, and they are all very familiar with each other, and someone happened to see Ye Fei and hurriedly shouted. Everyone in the encirclement turned their heads one after another, and after seeing Ye Fei, they hurriedly said.
"Ye Fei is back, quick, go and see, someone will send you a pennant!"
However, when the crowd gradually moved out of the way, Ye Fei saw a figure kneeling in front of his house in the encirclement, holding a dazzling red pennant in both hands.
Ye Fei was stunned, he thought of many people, but he really didn't expect it to be him. Li Liang! There is a blackened back on half of the head, isn't it Li Liang?
"Ye Fei, quick, he's looking for you. Uncle Li suddenly ran out from the side. "You let him get up first, he has been kneeling at the door of your house since he came at noon, it's useless for any of us to call him up, you go quickly, such a big sun, something will happen." ”
Ye Fei was really curious about how Li Liang found this place, Ye Fei remembered that from the first time he saw Li Liang to the time he left, Ye Fei didn't even mention his name. Not to mention your own address.
How the hell did he find this? Curious, though, now was clearly not the time to ask that. Li Liang, Li Liang.
Ye Fei sighed silently, then walked in front of Li Liang, and then watched Li Liang raise the pennant above his head with both hands and write a book.
'Replace the father and persuade the prodigal son to return home.
Sons and relatives will never forget!'
With a sigh, Ye Fei looked at Li Liang and shook his head. "I can't stand this pennant, let's get up first. With that, Ye Fei stretched out his hand to help Li Liang up.
However, Li Liang struggled to get out of the way, his eyes were red and swollen as he looked at Ye Fei, and his chapped lips slowly opened. "Brother Ye, you are younger than me, let's call you Brother Ye. ”
"You and I have no relatives and no reason, and we don't know each other, but you have worked tirelessly, traveled thousands of miles, found me home, taught me my father's teachings, and allowed me to be a new person. ”
"This pennant not only represents a little bit of my heart, but also represents my belief in being a new person. ”
"Be a man and think about reciprocation, every bit of grace is repaid with a spring, you are kind to me, I will never forget. ”
"Please accept this flag!" After speaking, Li Liang silently lowered his head: "If you don't accept it, I will never get up." The crowd of onlookers was amazed.
"Great kindness? What kind of situation can be regarded as great kindness in this era?"
"What did Ye Fei help him with. ”
"yes, what the hell is going on, that guy doesn't look like he's putting on a show!"
…… The gossip of the neighbors, Ye Fei didn't care, he glanced at Li Jiangnan. At this time, Li Jiangnan finally spoke, and he nodded with a smile: "Little Brother Ye, you have great kindness to both our uncle and nephew, you should take this pennant, accept it." ”
Ye Fei lowered his head, should he accept it?
Ye Fei raised his head and looked at Li Liang who was kneeling on the ground, finally, he sighed, and then stretched out his left hand and slowly grabbed the pennant. watched Ye Fei finally accept the pennant. I don't know why, but Li Liang felt a faint sense of loss in his heart. But soon, Ye Fei's eyes widened. A large fist slammed into his cheek.
"Bang!", Li Liang was knocked to the ground fiercely. In an instant, Ye Fei's heart trembled, and his breathing suddenly smoothed. The repression that has been in place these days seems to have been completely released all of a sudden. He looked up at the sky, it was blue, no longer gray.
The neighbors who were watching were all stunned, what kind of play was this? Someone came to send a pennant, which is a good thing, but how did it turn into a beating?
Ye Fei took a deep breath, and a smile finally appeared on his face. He looked at the pennant in his hand, and then slowly walked in front of Li Liang who fell to the ground. "Life is impermanent, remember this sentence. After speaking, Ye Fei sighed softly: "Live well in the future, your father will watch you from the sky!"
Li Liang, who fell to the ground, suddenly had hazy eyes, and tears rolled down his cheeks, but he quickly wiped them away. Li Liang muttered, "I will, I will definitely have a good life, right, Dad!" Li Liang looked up at the sky.
Ye Fei rolled up the pennant, pulled Li Liang up, and then looked at the neighbors around him, with a trace of bitterness in his heart. It's famous, damn, the pennants have been sent, and if my dad comes back, how should I explain it.
As if sensing Ye Fei's bitterness, Uncle Li stood up with a smile. "Okay, okay, things seem to be settled, let's disperse. You see Ye Fei's face is almost red like a monkey's ass, let's stay for a while, he will probably burn. ”
A neighbor around also laughed: "I know that your family has a good relationship with Ye Fei." ”
"But everyone is also dispersed, what are they doing here, the excitement is over, the things that should be done are done, the rice that should be cooked, there is no need to eat. ”
After a while, the neighbors slowly dispersed. In the end, only Ye Fei and Li Liang were left. Well, it's already famous anyway, and I'll find a way to put it in the future. Ye Fei shook his head and then opened the door and let Li Liang in. That night, Ye Fei left Li Liang to eat at home, and the two chatted for a long time.
And Ye Fei finally knew how Li Liang found him, it turned out that the problem was the train ticket that Ye Fei threw away. Now use the real-name system to buy tickets, and then the train ticket not only has Ye Fei's name on it, but also part of Ye Fei's ID number. Li Liang picked up Ye Fei's train ticket, and then found Hangzhou according to the first few digits of his ID card. Later, with the help of the police station, he searched in the citizenship database with a vague search, and finally found Ye Fei.
Hearing this, Ye Fei couldn't help but be secretly vigilant, it seems that the train ticket can't be thrown away in the future. At the same time, Li Liang told Ye Fei about his own future plans.
In the new era, many young people and young adults in rural areas have gone out to work, and only the elderly and children have stayed at home. This is the rural left-behind people that are common in society today. And it is precisely because of this that the tragedy between Li Liang and Li Jiangnan was caused. Li Liang decided that he would not go out to work in the future, he would be at home, plant some fields at home, and then take care of the old people and children in the village. Their children have gone out to work, so let me be their child and take care of them. In life, there are inevitably some things that the elderly can't do.
Li Liang has decided that he will rebuild a house in the original place of his home, not only as his home, but also as an elderly activity center in the village. There are those who are inconvenient and have no one to take care of, Li Liang is ready to take them to the activity center to take care of them. For others who can take care of themselves, Li Liang usually visits more often to see if there is anything they need help with, or the elderly can also go to the elderly center for help. At the same time, the old people in the village can also go to the elderly activity center in the future, gather more, play chess, play cards, and even dance together.
Li Liang is going to do this on a large piece of flat land in front of his house. That's what Li Liang said. "They helped me bury my father, so I raised them like fathers. ”
"My dad taught me from a young age that I should be reciprocated, and I will spend my life repaying everyone. ”
Ye Fei nodded silently, this was Li Liang's own choice, he couldn't say good or bad. However, this is undoubtedly a good thing for the old people in the village. Good people will be rewarded in the end!
Li Liang didn't stay at Ye Fei's house at night, he wanted to go back, since it had been decided, then the senior activity center should prepare as soon as possible. Ye Fei sent him to the train station, looking at the train that was gradually moving away, and Li Jiangnan with a smile on his face.
The knot in his heart was finally untied.
There is no right or wrong in things, it is people who have right and wrong, and it is the perspective from which things are viewed. The same thing, to different people, maybe one is right and the other is wrong.
Ye Fei chuckled. Yes, what do you want to do so much, Li Liang is back, although he may have missed it, but just like the pennant he sent today.
The prodigal son turns back, and the gold is not exchanged!
Moreover, Old Man Li Jiangnan may have been sad, but his love for Li Liang has never changed, at least he is walking away with a smile now.
