The Year (10)

"Oh, big brother, I've waited for you. Chen Kai took the bag in the fourth master's hand, "As soon as you go out, my sister sent me a telegram." Tell me to pick you up. It's freezing this day, and if you want to live in a guest house, you probably don't have a room. Come with me. When I arrived at the door of the house, I couldn't call the big brother wronged. ”

With this enthusiasm, Lin Yutong was a little confused.

The fourth master took Lin Yutong's hand and had to follow behind Chen Kai. I thought it would be far away, but I didn't want to walk for less than half an hour before I arrived at the downstairs of a two-story building.

I heard Chen Kai say: "This is the guest house of our forest farm. I'll stay here tonight, okay?"

"It's nice to have a place to stay, but what else can't be done. It couldn't be better. The fourth master responded with a smile.

With a flash in his eyes, he understood a little in his heart.

"We are not outsiders, Brother Chen has something to say. The fourth master added.

Chen Kai smiled embarrassedly, "Let's go inside first, it's cold outside." Don't let the big girl freeze. ”

The fourth master smiled and pulled Lin Yutong, who was still a little confused, inside.

As soon as I entered, I lifted the thick curtain, and it was much warmer inside. It couldn't have been better to have heating.

Lin Yutong took off his hat, and when he looked up, the fourth master had already taken off his hat and walked towards a middle-aged man. The two of them lowered their heads and didn't know what they were saying. Then I saw the fourth master beckoning to her, and Lin Yutong ran over. The fourth master nodded at the man, then took two keys and took Lin Yutong to the second floor.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yutong asked in a low voice after entering the house.

"You rest first. I'm going out for a trip. It's just downstairs. The fourth master said in a low voice, "That person has some background, and he should still want to get some rice and noodles." It's the end of the year, and you have to give gifts to the above. ”

Lin Yutong chuckled in his heart, "It won't cause any trouble." "The flour in the space is much whiter than it is now.

"Yes, I have a master. The fourth master whispered in his ear, "Don't worry about it." ”

So saying, he turned and went out. "Close the door from the inside. ”

Lin Yutong's heart was raised. If there is no fourth master, even if you have space, you can only dare to eat secretly. Others want to exchange food stamps or cloth stamps or something, I really don't dare. As it was now, she really didn't know what to do.

The fourth master came back very late, and he smelled of alcohol. He also had a bowl in his hand, and the bowl was steaming hot.

It was only after eating that I came back.

"Hurry up and eat something. The fourth master put the bowl on the table.

Lin Yutong saw that it was dumplings. It is also topped with braised pork and fried dried fish. The dumplings are also filled with radish and mutton. She swallowed the dumplings in her mouth, "What do you say?"

The fourth master said while undressing: "They treat those rice noodles as a special offering." I want to get some goods for the leader of the year. ”

Lin Yutong was stunned, "Then what did you say?"

"My own father's comrades-in-arms took care of me. The fourth master said lightly. "Don't be afraid to check. It's also true that I checked it. Those comrades-in-arms are everywhere. Where can I find out?"

That's just as well.

"Promise to give them a batch before the year. I won't give more this time, the tighter it is, the better. The fourth master said in a low voice.

Lin Yutong nodded while eating. I have to beg you every time in exchange for greater benefits. She understands that.

"They bought the tickets. Sleeper for leaders. The fourth master lay down on the bed, "and gave two business trip certificates for the forest farm. We take this and live in guest house of forestry, bureau, and accommodation and meals are free. ”

Lin Yutong choked at once. She knew that she couldn't stop this man anywhere. It wasn't uncomfortable to go out this long way, and she couldn't wait to pounce on him and bite him twice.

"Where are you staying tonight?" asked Lin Yutong. She saw him take two keys.

"I asked for two rooms, and they didn't care which side I was staying on. The fourth master yawned. "On the second floor of this guest house, we don't entertain people. ”

"There's also a bathroom inside, you go wash first. Lin Yutong urged him. As soon as the weather is cold, it is particularly inconvenient to take a bath. This time it was just right.

It's snowing outside, and there's nowhere to go. I nested in the guest house for a day, and on the third day, I was sent by Chen Kai and got on the train to XI'an.

The sleeper is not very spacious, but it is more comfortable than the hard seat. At this time, there are few people going out of the house, and the train is not crowded.

It may be that the people from the forest farm have specially greeted them, and the conductor has also made a special trip.

The two of them went out wearing Lin Yutong's newly made sheepskin jackets, brand new. can dress so decently, and someone has said hello, then you must not be lazy. They have repeatedly said that no one will live in it again. This sleeper room is for two people.

The fourth master just nodded, looking as he should be. Lin Yutong hurriedly took out a net of fruits. It's all apples and oranges that are not in good condition. This is now more valuable than anything else.

She handed over the things, "Give everyone a point, everyone will take care of it." ”

I have to stay on the train for two days, and I have to be taken care of.

The purser really didn't dare to take it.

The fourth master glanced at it lightly, "Take it." ”

If you take something, the treatment is even different. Hot water is sent regularly, and there is hot rice and hot soup when the meal is ordered. Two extra eggs were added.

So, apart from a few accidents, there is nothing else. During the day, the fourth master leaned more on the car window and looked out. Look what's going on outside.

When I arrived in XI'an, I traveled for more than a day. It took three trips to the car before I arrived at the labor camp.

Except for the guards with guns, everything else here is similar to any other farm.

"Comrade, may I ask if there is a person named Yin Changtian here?" the fourth master stepped forward and asked the guard.

The guard first glanced at the two of them vigilantly, and then asked in surprise, "Are you here to visit Yin Changtian?"

That's the person who has it.

The fourth master breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Yes, is it convenient now?"

The guard scratched his head, "I'm just surprised, no one has ever visited him." He restrained his expression and said, "Convenient, of course convenient." But it's your luggage, it has to be checked. ”

The fourth master's eyes flashed, then he nodded with a smile and put the two bags in front of him.

Here is Lin Yutong's coat put in advance, cotton clothes, cotton pants, and cotton shoes. Gloves and socks are available. I brought a lot of meat with me. There was also fresh fruit in it.

Of course, they are not afraid to check.

But if you want to bring something here for a few days, you have to pretend to go and get it. Tossing back and forth, very inconvenient.

The guard looked at the stuff in amazement, and quickly fastened the zipper. "Please come in. ”

Good attitude. Didn't bother them very much.

Lin Yutong took an apple and two oranges and stuffed them into the guard's clothes pocket, and then followed the fourth master in.

Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult. Although people are not difficult, the people inside and out have to do it.

After all, dealing with little people like this, the fourth master sometimes can't think of it.

In the past two days, those who have been in and out have rarely passed through the eyes of these door gods.

When you enter the gate, there is a circle of houses built along the wall. One after the other. The rest of the clearing, except for the path left for people to walk, was all cropland. There are still unfinished corn stalks in the field.

The wind carries sand and drills straight eyes.

Just when I didn't know where to go, a man walked out of the corner and tied his trouser belt.

That corner must be a toilet. There must be few people here, or they wouldn't have left without tidying up.

"Oops......" The man quickly turned his back and tidied up his clothes, before turning his head again, "Where did you come from? Who are you looking for?"

The fourth master said hello before asking, "I'm looking for Yin Changtian." How do I get there?"

"Are you looking for Lao Yin?" the man glanced at the fourth master suspiciously, "Who are you?"

"My name is Yin Zhen. Yin Changtian is my father. The fourth master explained.

The man was puzzled at first, and then suddenly realized: "...... Oh, you're his little son......"

The fourth master raised his eyebrows, it seems that this father still remembers his son. He nodded, "Yes! I'm my father's youngest son." ”

"Oh! As he spoke, he hurriedly said, "Come with me." As he walked, he said, "I didn't expect you to come." You don't know, your father, when he first came, he talked about you every day. You are the youngest, and the way of this world ...... I don't know how you're doing yet......"

The fourth master is silent, he is also a father, of course he understands the feelings of being a father.

He followed the leader and walked inside for more than ten minutes, and when he came to the door of a corner house, the man said in a loud voice, "Lao Yin! Lao Yin! Look who is coming." Just be sure you can't think of it. ”

There was a loud voice from inside, "Who's coming? Is it your daughter or your son?" It stinks again. ”

As he spoke, the door creaked and opened from the inside.

A thin old man in his mid-fifties walked out. Dressed in an old army coat, it has been washed white. There are several patches on his body.

"Look who this is?" the one who led the way pointed to the fourth master.

The old man squinted his eyes and looked the fourth master up and down. The difference between a ten-year-old boy and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy is not a star and a half. Moreover, the temperament of the fourth master, no matter how restrained he is, makes him obviously different from other peers. It's an acquaintance, and I don't dare to recognize it at first sight. Not to mention people who haven't heard from each other for six or seven years.

"Father!" the fourth master knelt on the ground.

In his heart, it is a matter of course for him to kneel to give birth to his father. He took possession of other people's bodies and became their sons. He had to pay back the cause and effect. As a son, when his father is in trouble, he abandons him, which is unfilial piety.

He felt that this kneeling was deserved.

But for others, the son who has not been in charge for so many years suddenly appeared in front of him. There is no resentment against being burdened by my father, and I don't shy away from coming to visit. That's how precious it is.

Yin Changtian's hands began to tremble, "It's Yin Zhen......"
