18. Founding of the country, fellow countrymen

let Chang An slow down for a long time, and then Wang Chunsheng took Chang An to turn around in the crooked self-built residential area.

After walking for about ten minutes, Wang Chunsheng and Chang An finally stopped in front of a dilapidated courtyard.

The small courtyard in front of him reminded Chang An of his home, the mottled red wooden door leaning against the cracked brick wall, which seemed to be a little crumbling.

Wang Chunsheng stood at the door and knocked lightly, and a hoarse voice came from the courtyard.

"Who?"

"I, Chunsheng. ”

The wooden door creaked open, and a flat-headed strong man emerged from behind the wooden door.

After seeing Wang Chunsheng, the flat-headed strong man smiled a little far-fetched.

Wang Chunsheng stepped forward and patted the flat-headed man on the shoulder, and said in a slightly heavy tone: "Mourning." ”

The man nodded, led Wang Chunsheng into the house, and then saw Chang An behind Wang Chunsheng.

"It's ......"

"This is our township party, called Chang'an. I work in a Henan restaurant in my area. ”

The man snorted, and then said to Chang An: "Find a place to sit, and I'll pour water for you." ”

With that, the man walked out of the house.

After a while, the man walked in with two cups of steaming tea and placed them next to the two.

Wang Chunsheng took a sip of the somewhat hot tea, took out a train ticket from his jacket pocket, and handed it to Jianguo. Only then did he use Chang'an's familiar native accent to talk to the man.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Chang An understood.

The flat-headed man in front of him is named Jianguo, he is Zhou Zhiren, and he has been carrying big bags on the construction site in Shenzhen before. A few days ago, Jianguo's family sent a telegram, saying that Jianguo's father suddenly became seriously ill and asked Jianguo to go home to see his old father for the last time.

At this time, it was the peak season for part-time jobs, and it was difficult to find a train ticket, so Jianguo found Wang Chunsheng.

Wang Chunsheng was not ambiguous, and it took a lot of effort to get a hard-seat ticket three days later.

Wang Chunsheng and Jianguo chatted for a while, while Chang An had been listening silently.

When it was time to leave, Wang Chunsheng suddenly asked for a matter of founding the country.

"I want you to go to Chang'an's house to have a look, after all, the child sneaked away to such a far place, and the family must be worried. ”

Wang Chunsheng's words made Chang An a little overwhelmed.

originally thought that Wang Chunsheng came to Jianguo today just to comfort Jianguo, but he never thought that Wang Chunsheng would come to Jianguo because of himself.

And Jianguo pondered for a while after listening to Wang Chunsheng's words, and then nodded at Wang Chunsheng.

"Leave me the address, and I'll go over when the family is done. ”

As he spoke, Jianguo looked at Chang An again and asked, "Do you need to bring anything to your family?" ”

Chang An looked at Wang Chunsheng beside him with some uneasiness, but saw that Wang Chunsheng was looking at him with a smile on his face.

"You also let Jianguo bring back the 5,000 yuan that Qiao Wu gave you before, you see that you need to buy something for the family, let Jianguo buy it for you together." ”

Chang An thought for a while, then nodded at Wang Chunsheng, and then said with some annoyance: "But I didn't bring the money with me." ”

Jianguo squeezed out a smile on his face.

"It's okay, I bought the ticket the day after tomorrow. Your side is close to the train station, I'll look for you then. ”

As he spoke, Jianguo looked at Wang Chunsheng.

"Five thousand yuan, aren't you afraid that I will run away with his money?"

Wang Chunsheng smiled and shook his head.

"If you were such a person, you would have run away with my duffel bag. I have 30,000 yuan in that duffel bag. ”

The two of them reminisced a few more words about the past, and then Wang Chunsheng stood up, took out a few hundred yuan from his pocket, and handed it to Jianguo.

"A little bit of heart between me and Chang An, you take it. ”

Jianguo didn't answer, but said angrily to Wang Chunsheng: "Who are you and me?"

Wang Chunsheng smiled, stuffed the money into Jianguo's pocket, and then said to Jianguo: "It's all your own brothers, don't engage in those false things." There are many places to use money at home. You take it first, and it will be regarded as a gift money for me and Chang An. ”

Coming out of Jianguo's house, Chang An followed Wang Chunsheng to the road again, ready to take a taxi back.

While waiting for the car, Chang An couldn't help but ask Wang Chunsheng: "Brother Wang, how did you and Brother Jianguo know?"

Wang Chunsheng smiled, as if he was caught in a memory.

After a while, Wang Chunsheng slowly spoke.

"Back then, I returned to Shenzhen with 30,000 yuan of illegal gains seized from other places, and as soon as I got off the train, I looked for a public phone to call the office and asked the office to send a car to pick me up. In the blink of an eye, my duffel bag was snatched away by a thief. ”

As he spoke, Wang Chunsheng smiled at Chang An.

"At that time, Jianguo saw it, chased him desperately for two or three miles, and after beating the thief, he came back to me with my duffel bag. At that time, I was going crazy, it was 30,000 yuan, which is not a small amount. As a result, I was in a hurry, so Jianguo patted me on the shoulder and asked me if I had lost something. Later, when I asked, I found out that I was still a fellow countryman. ”

Chang An smiled.

"It turns out that Brother Wang also has such a time?"

Wang Chunsheng nodded.

"When you're away from home, who hasn't had a bad luck. Since then, I have been helping my fellow villagers whenever I can. ”

As he spoke, Wang Chunsheng touched Chang An's head.

"That's why when Qiao Wu went to trouble you that day, I would come forward. ”

Chang An snorted, and then asked Wang Chunsheng with some confusion: "Then how did Brother Wang know that Qiao Wu was making trouble for me?"

Wang Chunsheng smiled, but did not speak.

After a while, he sighed softly and said to Chang An without a head.

"Maybe it's fate. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a taxi came not far away.

Wang Chunsheng patted Chang An's shoulder and said, "Let's go, get in the car." ”

By the time Chang An returned to the restaurant, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and Wang Cheng was holding his teacup and reading the magazine in front of him.

I don't know what Wang Cheng is looking at, but occasionally I can see a lewd smile on the corner of Wang Cheng's mouth.

Seeing Chang An coming back, Wang Cheng hurriedly closed the magazine.

"Coming back?"

Chang An nodded, smiled at Wang Cheng and said, "Brother Wang is looking at the beauties in the book again?"

Hearing Chang An's teasing, Wang Cheng waved his hand at Chang An with some embarrassment.

"What do you know, kids, are you full at noon? If you're not full, there's still something left over from noon in the kitchen. ”

Chang An nodded, but instead of going into the kitchen, he sat opposite Wang Cheng.

"Brother Wang, what do you mean by this fellow?"

Wang Cheng looked at Chang An and smiled.

"Fellow, it's a person from a place. When everyone is bullied in other places, there are fellow villagers who can form a group and not be bullied. ”

Chang An smiled, but did not speak.

Maybe in Chang An's heart, the fellow will not be so superficial.
