Chapter 656 The Storm Rises Again 14

1.

This banquet can be described as a happy meal for the guests and hosts, Sui Chang did his best as a host, and kept persuading wine and food, so he almost picked up the wine glass and poured wine into the stomach of the guests.

Sui Chang must be respectful to Deputy Director Sun and Spring, the two "Qin Missions" who came from afar, and he did not have the slightest neglect of the new principal Wu Hengxing Sui Chang, with awe and enthusiasm in his words, and he was very comfortable serving Wu Hengxing.

It's just that in the glass-changing and seemingly enthusiastic conversation, the people at the wine table did not mention the "gas canister" at all, and they were all communicating with each other in a tacit state.

Sui Chang is a person who understands and knows that Deputy Director Sun is doing this at this time to show Wu Hengxing, so he naturally cooperates closely, and only promises Deputy Director Sun's teaching, and he is also respectful to Wu Hengxing, and he also stands up and bows to Wu Hengxing while he is drinking, which can be regarded as a manifestation of his rude and offensive to Wu Hengxing a few days ago.

Wu Hengxing gladly accepted Sui Chang's initiative to show goodwill, and also took the opportunity to express his respect to Sui Chang, the former old principal, and in this way, under the mediation of Deputy Director Sun and the catalysis of alcohol, the two opponents who were once incompatible shook hands and made peace. It's just that the spring that is watching from the sidelines always feels that there is an inexplicable awkwardness in it, and as for what it is, the spring can't tell it either.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Spring drove a motorcycle to carry the drunk and crooked Deputy Director Sun back to the compound of Hushan Middle School. Qian Jin is not in the office of the Education Office, and Deputy Director Sun and Spring will go home to take a nap, as for how Deputy Director Sun will report the results of the investigation to Qian Jin tomorrow, there is no need to worry about this problem in Spring.

At the same time, Feng Shu, who succeeded his father Feng Changxi and served his sick wife at home, was restless all day.

There are two reasons for Feng Shu's uneasiness, one is that Deputy Director Sun and Spring went to Liujiashan Primary School to investigate the "gas canister", which made Feng Shu feel troubled, on the one hand, Feng Shu hoped that the matter of the "gas canister" could be investigated, and on the other hand, Feng Shu was afraid that Deputy Director Sun would really find out what adultery was between Qu Aiying and Sui Chang, if this was the case, Feng Shu didn't know where to go. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Feng Shu is still a little reluctant to Qu Aiying as a woman, if there is no entanglement between Qu Aiying and Sui Chang, Feng Shu has already made up his mind to marry Qu Aiying and enter the door of the old Feng family after the death of his wife Liu Shuzhen.

It was precisely because Feng Shu had this idea in his heart, so the second reason that made Feng Shu feel uneasy was that from yesterday noon to now, Feng Shu had never received any information from Qu Aiying, there was no phone call, and there was no pager, which couldn't help but make Feng Shu entangled in his heart. When talking to Qu Aiying on the phone at noon yesterday, although Feng Shu said that he would let Qu Aiying give him an explanation, but more than a day has passed, and Qu Aiying has not heard from him, and not replying is tantamount to acquiescence or denial? All kinds of speculation made Feng Shu feel like a hundred claws scratching his heart, and that kind of taste was indescribably uncomfortable.

said that he asked Feng Shu to replace his father at home to take care of Liu Shuzhen, who was sick, but in fact, Feng Shu basically had nothing to do, Liu Shuzhen didn't eat the porridge at all, and Liu Shuzhen didn't drink the hot milk, and Liu Shuzhen didn't even say a word to Feng Shu. This made Feng Shu feel very bored, so he had to go back and forth in and out of the house, hoping that the old father could come back from Shimengouzi Village as soon as possible, and he would be liberated from this embarrassing state as soon as possible.

At noon, Feng Shu fried himself two appetizers, drunk himself, and then fell asleep on the small bed in the living room.

When he woke up, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, Feng Shu rubbed his dry and red eyes, got up from the bed, and pulled his slippers around the inside and outside of the house.

In the bedroom, Liu Shuzhen was curled up in a towel quilt and fell asleep. Since Feng Changxi left this morning, it has been almost a whole day, Liu Shuzhen has not eaten water and rice, and she has not taken any medicine, except for falling asleep all day, and occasionally when she is awake, she is silent, just staring at the empty ceiling in a daze.

Looking at Liu Shuzhen's skinny body curled up in the sheets, Feng Shu sighed deeply. I don't know when Feng Shu suddenly felt a little unable to raise his head in front of his wife, was it guilt, self-blame, or subconscious evasion? Feng Shu himself couldn't figure it out, Feng Shu only knew that he was afraid of facing Liu Shuzhen's sickly face, afraid of seeing Liu Shuzhen's eyes full of contempt, and that cold expression without a trace of joy and sorrow, which often made Feng Shu's heart tremble.

After going to the yard to wash his face, Feng Shu sat under the jujube tree under the root of the wall, smoking a cigarette and thinking about his thoughts.

At this time, it is the time when the dates are ripe, and the red or green dates are hanging heavily on the branches, the red ones are like agate, the green ones are like pearls, and the golden leaves are beautiful.

This jujube tree was planted in the yard after Feng Shu and Liu Shuzhen got married and moved to a new home, just to take the auspicious meaning of "getting a noble son early".

More than ten years have passed, this former thin jujube tree has grown into a few meters high, the branches of the jujube tree are bent and trying to grow upward, the trunk is not very straight, and it is not "beautiful", there are some crooked scars on the trunk, which are the scars left by Feng Shu for its pruning branches, and the teenage tree looks like an old man who has experienced vicissitudes. Although this jujube tree looks a little "ugly", it does not look down, from a distance, but feels that it is vigorous and powerful, showing the power of life between heaven and earth, but what it shows is not the kind of power that goes straight up like a poplar tree, straight to the sky, but a kind of outward expansion, circle by circle, tornado-like power, vigorously rotating out of the whirlpool of life rings, as if climbing the peak of life.

Once upon a time, this jujube tree was the source of happiness for the Feng family, the fragrance of jujube flowers in the courtyard in spring, the cool shade in summer, and the abundant fruits in autumn are all engraved in the memory of the Feng family.

A few years ago, every time the autumn wind blew, the leaves rustled, and the branches were hung with countless "red agate" fluttering in the wind, it was also the happiest time for the Feng family. At that time, Feng Shu's son was still young, and every time Feng Shu stood on the stool and beat the dates with a bamboo pole, the bamboo pole was only so lightly poked, and the ripe red dates would fall down like hailstones, falling all over the ground. At this time, it was also the happiest time for Feng Shu's son, the little guy clapped his hands and laughed, and couldn't wait to squat down and pick up the big and sweet red dates. In the evening, the family sat in the shade of the tree to taste the sweet and crunchy red dates, and the laughter echoed in the small courtyard...

At this moment, it is the harvest season again, but the jujube tree full of fruits in the small courtyard is no longer ignored, and the ripe red dates fall to the ground, mixed with the golden fallen leaves all over the ground, looking from a distance like small red flowers dotted on the yellow carpet, which looks gorgeous and dazzling.

It's just that the happiness of the family is like a dream, and it may have become the eternal dream of the Feng family.

This jujube tree, which once brought the Feng family a quick time, can only stand alone under the root of the wall at this time, as if witnessing the decline of the Feng family.
