Chapter Twenty-Seven: It Feels Good to Be Home
"Li Zongheng?" Chen Mo shook his head and said, I remember that when I was a child, Uncle Zongheng deliberately explained to himself, if someone asked about his news, he must not tell the other party.
"Hey, I don't know when I'll find Brother Zongheng. The old man sighed, looking a little lost.
Brother Zongheng: Looking at the old man, he is in his sixties, and Uncle Zongheng was only in his thirties ten years ago, and now he is only in his forties at most, is it just the same name and surname?
"I don't know what the little brother is called?" After sighing, the old man seemed to remember the name of the young man in front of him.
"My name is Chen Mo, Erdong Chen, silent Mo, you can call me Xiao Chen, Xiao Mo is fine. ”
"The little brother's surname is Chen, and there used to be an old comrade-in-arms who was also surnamed Chen, hey, I don't know how the old brother is doing for so many years. Hearing Chen Mo's surname, the old man sighed again, "The old man's surname is Chu, so you can call me Old Man Xiao." ”
Along the way, the old man Chu was chatting with Chen Mo about the past of the war when he was young, and Chen Mo also occasionally answered a few words, and he was not lonely along the way, and he arrived in Lan County unconsciously.
"Little brother, it's right in front, just put me down at the gate of the county government. Chu Lao pointed to the Lan County Government and said.
"Good. Chen Mo nodded and replied.
At the gate of the county government, Chu Lao got out of the car, took out a golden card from his pocket, wrote his name and phone number on it, and handed it to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo took a look, and the dragon flying and phoenix dancing on it said "Chu Feng", and then there was a private number, which was very concise.
"Little Brother Chen, thank you so much this time, I will have the opportunity to go to Yanjing in the future and call the old man, the old man can still speak in Yanjing. ”
I'm rubbing, the old man Chu said that he could speak in Yanjing, this old man is a little fierce, no, he is really fierce.
"Haha, then I'll take it, and when I go to Yanjing in the future, I'll have to trouble Chu Lao. Chen Mo said with a smile.
Seeing this old Chu walk into the county government, Chen Mo turned around and got into the car.
Chen Mo's home is in a small town near Lan County, only a dozen kilometers away from the county government.
The scenes on both sides of the road are becoming more and more familiar, Chen Mo is getting closer and closer to home, he is a little excited, he hasn't been home for more than half a year, it is impossible to say that he doesn't want to go home, although his mother is very nagging, but Chen Mo still likes the feeling of being at home, and his naughty little cousin.
At this time, the time had just reached 7:40, and most of the villagers were holding hoes and preparing to go to the field.
Chen Mo drove from the county road and turned into a rural road, and saw a few villagers in their forties and fifties, carrying hoes and walking to the edge of the field, chatting about something as they walked.
It seemed that they heard the sound of the car behind them, and several villagers turned around one after another, and when they saw that it was Chen Mo who was driving, they all smiled and waved their hands to say hello.
"Uncle Erhu, Uncle Gouyu, Uncle Mazi, go to the ground so early!" Ben Tian stopped beside a few villagers, and Chen Mo said with a smile.
Several villagers live near Chen Mo's house, and when they were children, they often took Chen Mo to catch loaches and dig birds' nests, for which Chen Mo was scolded a lot.
Erhu looked at Chen Mo who was parking, looked at it carefully, and then said in disbelief: "Yo, isn't this our big hero in Jiangcheng, uncle heard that you took four gun-wielding bandits down, when did you kid be so violent......"
"No, I didn't believe it when I heard the news. If it weren't for Lao Chen himself, I wouldn't believe it. Uncle Mazi said with a shocked face.
"Yes, Amer, your swallow sister mentioned you just now, and she admires you now. Gou Yu also interjected.
Chen Mo, who was about to get out of the car, immediately wilted when he heard Sister Yanzi, "Eh, Uncle Erhu, Uncle Gouyu, Uncle Mazi, I still have something to do, I'll go home first." ”
After saying that, he drove away in a gray way, Yanzi is the daughter of Uncle Gou, and she is only twenty years old now, but her height is close to one meter nine, and her weight has reached more than two hundred pounds.
As soon as he got home, Chen Mo's father had already put on his work clothes and was about to push his bicycle to the courtyard.
"Why did you kid only arrive now, didn't you let you be early, after waiting for you for so long, you're ready to ride a bicycle to work, by the way, have you refueled?" As soon as he saw Chen Mo standing outside the door, Chen's father stepped forward and asked, snatching the car key from Chen Mo's hand as he spoke, and handed the bicycle to Chen Mo by the way, "Go and put the car away, I'll go to work." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Chen Mo to reply. Then he turned into the car and drove away.
"Mom, I'm back, I'm starving, have you made breakfast?" After putting away the bicycle, he shouted as he walked home.
At this time, a middle-aged woman walked out of the back room, still holding some refills in her hand, just before Chen Mo went home, Chen's mother was still doing some manual work, looking at Chen Mo and asking in surprise.
"Why are you screaming so loudly, your cousin is still asleep, by the way, why did you come back suddenly?"
"Uh, didn't Dad say I'm coming back today?"
"No, your dad didn't say anything. ”
"My dad didn't drive back yesterday, so you don't ask. ”
"What's there to ask, I slept early yesterday, and I don't know when your dad will come back. ”
"Well, didn't you tell your dad that you missed me? ”
"When did I say it, by the way, I heard your dad say that you did something big, what's the matter, your dad didn't say it, what the hell is going on?"
Just as Chen Mo was thinking about how to answer his mother, he heard the sound of the car and Chen Mo's shouting just now, and the neighbors came to the house one after another.
"Oh, this isn't Amer, now it's out of breath, I heard that they have become big heroes. ”
"It's not, since I was a child, I thought that Amer was promising, and sure enough, my aunt was right. ”
"It's amazing, Amer has become a big hero in our Jiangcheng, and it's been published in the newspapers, it's really good. ”
......
Listening to the compliments of his neighbors, Chen Mo really didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only smile awkwardly.
Suddenly, I didn't know who took the lead, and stuffed a bag of snacks into Chen Mo's hand.
"Come on, Amer, my aunt doesn't have anything to do, I just took these snacks from home, and they were all you used to buy when you were a child. ”
"What's so delicious about the snacks, come, Amer, the old man should smoke, you take this Chinese man, and if you don't smoke, you can take the noodles. ”
"There is smoke, the wine is indispensable, this is the Meijiang roast that my aunt's family has just burned, and the taste is strong. ”
"Speaking of wine, I've been brewing this whip wine for many years, and young people should make up for it. ”
......
I put up with the snacks, I put up with the cigarettes, and I continued to endure the Meijiang burn, but what the hell is such a whip?
After a period of tossing, seeing that Chen Mo was carrying all kinds of things in his hands, the neighbors left satisfied.
"This ......" Chen Mo was dumbfounded, although these things are not expensive, they are all everyone's thoughts.
"This and this, everyone will let you take it. Seeing that Chen Mo was still stunned, Mother Chen hurriedly said.
