Chapter 15: The Hadron
The atmosphere was a little cold, Du Dongping was quite uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to ask Xu Ran: "Xiao Ran, the bicycle you got is so expensive, is this true?"
Xu Ran knew what Du Dongping was wondering about, nodded and said: "Don't worry, you know very well who I am, this is naturally not blackmail, that bicycle was originally brought by me for my little sister to ride in school, but I didn't expect it to be so expensive!"
After talking together, Qiangzi finally spoke: "Is Tingting okay?"
"Except for the fact that he is not tall, everything else is fine, and he is about to go to high school in Xiacheng No. 1 Middle School!"
After Xu Ran took Qiangzi's words, he looked at him and said: "Qiangzi, the obstacle in your heart is in yourself, not in Grandma Yalin and me, and aunt, I and they have never blamed you for that incident, I hope you can come out......"
"I ......"
Hadron squirmed and tried to say something, but he buried his head and kept smoking, and he struggled inside.
Xu Ran said: "Of course, if you want to say that you are dissatisfied, it is that you have refused our visits many times in the four years in prison, even if you are released from prison, you will not be notified, we can understand that you are not mentally prepared, and it is difficult to overcome the hurdle in your heart, but we hope that you can put down your burden and start again!"
Hadron smoked for a while, then snuffed out the cigarette butt and rang the bell casually.
Soon, a waiter came in and asked, "What do the bosses order?"
"Serve!"
Qiangzi asked for wine and poured it, and the three of them drank a glass first.
After two cups, because I had nothing to talk about with Xu Ran since I was a child, the conversation box quickly opened: "Xiao Ran, for a few years in prison, I have been sorting out the relationship between me and that man, as well as Grandma Yalin and Mother Ying.
I only thought that the moment I was abandoned, I was an orphan without father and mother, in the years of the orphanage, Grandma Yalin and Ying Ma were good to me, I will remember it for a lifetime, they are my own grandmother and mother, you are my brother.
When that man came to the orphanage to find me and brought me back, I was full of hatred and never wanted to admit that there was such a bastard father.
But in my observation, that man was bold, frank, and more affectionate, and after he found me, he wanted to make up all the fatherly love owed to me all those years, and he never refused all the requests I made to him at that time, even if they were vexatious.
Until that time, when he blocked bullets and knives for me and fought his way out of the trap, and finally lay in a pool of blood and hugged me tightly, he told me that he had always known that I was in the orphanage, but after all, he couldn't bear the inner torment of the separation of father and son for many years, and he regretted that he had brought me back to the father and son to recognize him, because his enemy back then, or took revenge on me for the grievances between their generations, and he would rather me continue to be an orphan and live safely, from that time on, I suddenly understood why that man sent me to the orphanage back then......"
After listening to Qiangzi's words, Xu Ran suddenly understood why Qiangzi didn't listen to anyone's dissuasion back then, lived up to his aunt and Grandma Yalin's expectations of him, and resolutely chose the road of no return.
Because from that time on, the sensible and precocious hadron has learned to take responsibility.
But it was precisely because of his youth, enthusiasm and impulsiveness that he buried his four years of youth in prison.
Paying such a heavy price just to fight for that man, that is, his dead father.
Now that the times are changing with each passing day, the enemies of the year have died, and their grievances have disappeared, perhaps no one can understand whether Qiangzi's behavior back then was worth it.
Only time can prove that all grievances and hatreds will fade with the passage of time to the end without a trace.
A glass of wine, the two of them drank each other.
Xu Ran said: "Qiangzi, the matter has passed, but the old brothers of your father back then ......"
Qiangzi understood what he meant and interrupted him: "Xiao Ran, do you know why I was only sentenced to five years, and I was released for three and a half years for good performance?"
Xu Ran was stunned, is there anything hidden in this?
Qiangzi did not explain the reason, but said: "I not only owe you a lifetime of love, but also owe a debt of unrequitable affection to my father's brothers, and now these people and their families are living a very depressed life, as a man, I must take my due responsibility!"
Qiangzi didn't want to explain, and Xu Ran didn't ask the reason, but said, "Then what are your goals and plans in the future?"
"Make money!"
Hadron said the simplest, but also to the core goal.
Although these two words are simple and straightforward, they are not simple to do.
Especially for those who have served a criminal record and have mixed in society, it is several times more difficult for them to get a stable job than ordinary people.
Even after some people come out of prison, they really can't adapt to the changes and development of the times, and in the end they either fall silent or go back to that road of no return.
Xu Ran was very concerned about the problem that Qiangzi was going to face, and said, "Then where will you live after you come out, and what are you doing in the past few days?"
Qiangzi looked at Du Dongping next to him, and said: "Pingzi helped me rent a few rooms for a while, I went to find an old-timer two days ago, and the other party helped me introduce a small business that sells some hard work, today and tomorrow I will gather those brothers one after another, and then go to Shahaigouzi to work......
"Shahai ditch?"
Listening to this place, Xu Ran subconsciously thought of the news about an ancient tomb that was opened by a sandstorm in the past two days.
So Xu Ran tried to ask: "Go to work in the ancient tomb that was excavated by the sandstorm and was discovered?"
"That's right!"
Qiangzi said: "After the ancient tomb was excavated, our people mainly did some work to clean up the camping site of the archaeological team, build a fence, and carry sand and gravel!"
"How's the pay?"
"According to the capitation, 180 yuan per person per day, including three meals, there is a special car to and from the city!"
Xu Ran nodded, the price of this labor is medium in Xia Cheng, and it is better for Qiangzi to take those people to do some serious things, it is much better than not being able to find work for a long time and continue to mix in society in order to make a living.
Next, Xu Ran and Qiangzi did not continue to talk about those serious topics.
Between glasses of wine, they casually chatted about the old anecdotes, and then ordered an old song that both of them liked to sing when they were young, although the five notes were incomplete, but they sang it very happily.
Du Dongping has been watching his phone as a light bulb next to him.
After he heard Xu Ran and Qiangzi chatting about some serious topics, he sang an old-fashioned song together, and the atmosphere gradually became lively, so he smiled and said: "Xiao Ran, haven't you read the orders in the online store in the past two days, the netizens in the group are making a fuss!"
Xu Ran was a little surprised: "Hey, how do you know my customer base?"
Du Dongping smiled: "Because I am also one of your customers!"
Xu Ran was a little surprised, took out his mobile phone and opened Qiuqiuli's customer group and took a look: "That guy with the online name General Pingdong is you?"
"Isn't that me?"
Xu Ran said angrily: "It turned out to be you, then you told me, you bought a second-hand computer from me last week, a router with WIFI, an eighty percent new semi-automatic washing machine and a ninety percent new gas stove, are you fooling your sister-in-law's family?"
was revealed, but Du Dongping was not embarrassed, and said: "Brother, don't say it, the second-hand goods you refurbished are almost the same as new, affordable and easy to use."
Juanzi's mother's family are all rural people, as long as I don't say it, they can't see that it's second-hand, I bought it back for them, don't mention how happy everyone is, that night Juanzi unlocked a few new tricks for me to serve me, that ecstasy......"
Qiangzi and Xu Ran laughed and scolded in unison: "I'll go, why are you so bad, do you want to bully our two single dogs!"
Du Dongping was already a middle-aged and old driver, and shook his mobile phone: "Otherwise, I'll find two serious girls for you tonight to go to the fire, how many groups do I have?"
"Forget it, you can keep it for yourself!"
Qiangzi shook his head, looked at Xu Ran, and said, "Xiao Ran, this time the work of the Shahaigouzi Ancient Tomb is done, I will go back to visit Mother Ying and Grandma Yalin!"
Seeing that Qiangzi finally figured it out, Xu Ran nodded with relief.
Knock knock.
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the private room.
I thought it was a waiter, but the one who was allowed to push the door in was the young soldier who crashed Xu Ran's bicycle at the door of the bar and lost 100,000 yuan.
He was followed by a middle-aged man dressed in style and a very shrewd and capable woman wearing a black frame and OL overalls, with a sexy figure and a long black lace leg on her chest.
After Qiangzi saw these people, his face sank: "Something?"
