(New books for recommended collections, reviews and evaluations)
A young man in his twenties came running over and asked, "What's wrong, uncle?"
The old man pointed at Xiaowei with a fan and said, "This is from Honey Jar, his uncle is here with us, surnamed Wang, do you know?"
Xiao Li thought for a while and asked Xiao Wei, "Your uncle is also a honey cook?"
Xiaowei nodded and said, "Well, when I came out of the army, my brother-in-law Yan is also from you, called Xiaofeng." ”
Xiao Li was stunned for a moment and asked, "Your brother-in-law, what is your sister-in-law?"
Xiaowei said: "It's called Wang Yan, I came with the fourth uncle in a car just now, oh, the fourth uncle is Sister Yan and her father." ”
Xiao Li said to the old man with a crying and laughing expression: "Uncle, you don't care, just hand him over to me, and I'll lead him to Stationmaster Wang." ”
The old man was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you know?" ”
Xiao Li said: "He said that the fourth uncle is my father-in-law, just arrived at my house, didn't I just come from home, I am his brother-in-law, my nickname is Xiaofeng." ”
The old man scratched his back with a fan with his backhand, and asked strangely: "Aren't you called Li Wenhua? Why are you called Xiaofeng again?"
Xiao Li pulled Xiao Wei to the courtyard and said, "Nickname, Xiao Feng is nickname, okay uncle, go back to the house." ”
The old man frowned and shook his head and went back to the guard room, where Xiao Li took Xiao Wei into the Agricultural Machinery Bureau building and went directly to the second floor.
"What's your name, have you come to find Stationmaster Wang?" Xiao Li asked Xiao Wei.
Xiaowei said: "My name is Xiaowei, Zhang Wei, you can call me Xiaowei and be a brother-in-law." Brother-in-law Yan, what kind of stationmaster is my uncle?
The head of the county agricultural machinery station is also a unit-level cadre, but in the countryside, the unit-level cadre is also a cadre, and he is also the number one person who can be called famous.
Xiao Li looked at Xiao Wei, looked at Xiao Wei's curious and sincere eyes, and couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, if the stationmaster at the unit level can be counted as the number one person in the county, he, a soldier who has just been demobilized and assigned to the agricultural machinery station, can only be called a cadre in front of the peasants, a complete low-level little person.
Leading Xiao Wei to the door of the second office on the second floor, Xiao Li reached out and knocked on the dilapidated wooden door, and shouted inside: "Come in." Xiao Li pushed open the door and led Xiao Wei in.
"Stationmaster, someone from your hometown is looking for you. Entering the room, Xiao Li said to the middle-aged man who was sitting behind the old-fashioned old desk reading the papers, and turned sideways to reveal Xiao Wei who was following behind.
Stationmaster Wang looked up, saw Xiaowei, a smile appeared on his face, put down the document and stood up and said, "Yo, it's coming very fast, I just brought the message back the day before yesterday, right? Come and sit, don't you drink water?"
Xiaowei couldn't let go a little, smiled shyly, and said, "Just arrived." I happened to run into Brother-in-law Yan at the door, or I wouldn't be able to find it. ”
Stationmaster Wang glanced at Xiao Li and said, "You know each other?"
Xiao Li said: "I just met. He was talking to the doorman Uncle Liu, it just so happened that I was here. ”
Stationmaster Wang smiled and said: "It's quite a coincidence, this kid is a relative of my family, and he is quite close to your daughter-in-law's house. ”
Xiao Li agreed and said, "The stationmaster, I'll go over, you guys." Stationmaster Wang nodded, Xiao Li smiled at Xiao Wei, turned around and went out, and closed the door.
When Xiao Li went out and closed the door, Stationmaster Wang sat down next to Xiao Wei and said, "Have you been to the county seat before?"
Xiaowei shook his head and said, "It's really big, beautiful, much stronger than the village, it's all buildings, I'm confused." ”
Stationmaster Wang smiled and said, "Is the family okay, how is your father's health, and his back still hurts?" took the thermos and poured a cup of water for Xiaowei and put it on the coffee table.
Xiao Wei shyly supported the enamel teapot with his hand, and immediately retracted it, saying, "Thank you, uncle, what's that, my dad, it's still like that." It's not a lot of work, then you have to do it, and when you go home at night, you can't lie down on the kang, and it's very difficult to turn over. My mother originally asked him to come to the county to have a look, but he didn't do it, saying that he was waiting for the autumn harvest, and it was estimated that he would lie at home for two days after the autumn harvest, and he couldn't come. ”
Stationmaster Wang lit a cigarette, threw the cigarette and matches to Xiaowei, and said, "Smoke, smoke less dry tobacco in the future, if you are short of smoke, you can ask for it, I don't spend money." Wait for the winter camp day, I'll go to your house, your father's waist has to be seen, otherwise maybe something will happen in the future, he will fall to your house and it will be over. ”
Xiaowei clumsily took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, struck a match and lit it, spit out a puff of smoke and said, "It's still easy to smoke and cool." ”
Stationmaster Wang said: "Do you know that I let you come to Gaha to play?"
Xiao Wei shook his head and looked at Stationmaster Wang.
Stationmaster Wang said: "Isn't this the autumn harvest almost over, I don't think it's a matter for you to stay at home, anyway, you can't go to school, just find you a job in the county, it's lighter than farming, and you get a monthly salary, can't you?"
Xiaowei looked up at Stationmaster Wang in surprise and said, "Really, uncle, I can also go to work?"
Stationmaster Wang said: "Now that the county is expanding, a lot of buildings will be built, Bao Huo that Lao Xia is my comrade-in-arms, let me tell you, you go to him, let him do what, I can't lose you." I went to Chang Dick, I was smart, and I came to me if I had something. Remember?"
Xiaowei nodded and said, "Okay, uncle, look at it, I'm sure I can do a good job and not lose your face." ”
Stationmaster Wang looked at the SH watch in his hand and said, "That's it for today, it's a little late." Let's go, go to me, and ask your aunt to give you some good food, and I'll take you there early tomorrow morning." Can you have some wine?"
Xiaowei blushed and said, "I haven't drunk it, my dad doesn't drink either, and he doesn't have it at home." ”
Stationmaster Wang laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "How can you not drink, it's okay, uncle, it's enough, let's go, go home." Stood up and took the bag, led Xiaowei out of the office and downstairs, there were people greeting him along the way, Stationmaster Wang made a straight face, nodded slightly in response, not at all like smiling in the office.
Downstairs, Stationmaster Wang asked Xiaowei to wait at the door, he went to the backyard, and after a while, he drove a BJ jeep out, shouted Xiaowei to get into the car, and went out of the hospital with a dozen steering wheels, turned left, and ran along the road.
Xiaowei sat in the car, touched it here, looked there, and said, "Uncle, this is your car? It's much stronger than that big passenger, and it runs fast." ”
Stationmaster Wang smiled and said, "From the unit, how can I buy this thing, and I can't afford to burn the oil." You haven't seen a good car, compared to others, this jeep is a fart, work hard, and when you mix it up in the future, buy a good car and drive, and let your uncle borrow some light. ”
Xiao Wei was a little excited when he heard this, nodded heavily, and agreed. Jeeps pick up dust all the way in the setting sun.
Don't look at Xiaowei's call for an uncle to Stationmaster Wang, Stationmaster Wang also really cares for Xiaowei, but in fact, there is no kinship between them, and it is just a pretext to say that the daughter-in-law's relatives are just a pretext.
If you have to talk about the relationship, you can only be regarded as neighbors, or neighbors more than ten years ago. Stationmaster Wang lived in the front yard of Xiaowei's house before he was discharged from the army. On the contrary, Xiaowei and Sister Yan's family are a bit of relatives, not far away, but they can't be said to be close, Sanfu. In the countryside, everyone can climb some relatives out, although the law stipulates that blood relatives are within the five blessings, but in fact, it is the same thing from the beginning of the three blessings.
