Zhao Dakui was drunk unconscious, Luo Xu gave the money to Lin Yu, Lin Yu didn't say anything, accepted it, but there were tears in his eyes. 20,000 yuan is nothing to Luo Xu, but for the two of them, working hard for two months may not earn so much money.

Luo Xu got into the car, although he drank alcohol, he was not drunk at all. Soon, he found a hotel on the side of the road, parked his car outside the hotel, and went to the front desk to register and get a room card.

After entering the room, Luo Xu took a shower and fell into bed, and when he woke up, it was already noon the next day.

"Oops, it's so late!"

It was Chinese New Year's Eve tonight, and Luo Xu quickly got up from the bed. Before the clothes were dressed, the phone came, and it was my brother Luo Gang who called.

"Second brother, why haven't you come back yet?" Luo Gang thought that Luo Xu should have come back yesterday, but he didn't expect Luo Xu to come back, thinking that he was delayed, so he called and asked.

"Brother, I've already arrived in the county seat, I arrived last night, I'm afraid that I will go home too late and alarm you, so I stayed in the county seat for a night. Rush back right away. ”

Luo Gang said: "Hey, when you come home, you are still afraid of being alarmed or not, they are all a family, what is this, what kind of hotel to live in, what a waste of money." Come back quickly, and I'll be waiting for you to eat at noon. ”

After hanging up the phone, Luo Xu immediately jumped out of bed, got dressed, and after freshening up, he returned the room and drove home.

The weather was gloomy and gloomy, and when I looked up, the clouds above were so thick that I couldn't see the sun. This kind of weather is usually snowing. Every Chinese New Year, it always has to snow to have a New Year's flavor, and my favorite thing to do when I was a child was to set off firecrackers in the snow.

Although it is not yet the Chinese New Year, the countryside is already very New Year's flavor, and naughty children can be seen chasing and playing in the dry ditch on the side of the road, and a few firecrackers can be heard from time to time, and the aroma of various delicacies seems to float in the air.

The car was driving on the country road, and it began to bump because of the potholed road, and Luo Xu was not used to it. He has walked this road thousands of times, and they are very familiar old friends.

When I came to the entrance of the village, perhaps because it was time for lunch, there were no people on the road in the village. Luo Xu drove the car all the way to the door of the house, and Zhao Hui had already prepared lunch and was waiting for him to come back.

"The dick is back!"

Luo Gang and his family quickly stood up, got up and walked out the door. Luo Xu got out of the car, walked into the yard, and said, "Big brother and sister-in-law, I'm sorry to let you wait." ”

Zhao Hui said with a smile on her face: "Second brother, what are you polite." Come on, come on, it's cold outside, let's get inside. ”

When Luo Xu entered the house, Zhao Hui immediately poured him a glass of boiled water and asked him to drink some water to warm his body.

"Where's our dad?"

didn't see Luo Qingyuan, so Luo Xu asked.

Luo Gang said: "Recently, many children and elderly people in the village have been sick, and the clinic is very busy. ”

Zhao Hui said: "You two don't talk, sit down and talk while eating." ”

The two brothers sat down around the table, Luo Gang opened a bottle of local wine, this wine is very popular in the local area, only a few yuan a bottle, not a good wine, but the locals have an inseparable affection for this wine, especially people outside, especially this kind of wine.

"Come, try the old wine of our hometown. ”

Luo Xu picked up the wine glass, didn't drink it, as if he smelled the strong aroma of wine, and then took a sip.

"Good wine!"

Luo Gang smiled: "Second brother, I think you have drunk too much good wine, and the taste is strange, what can you do with these few yuan of wine." ”

Luo Xu smiled, he couldn't understand such a thing as feelings.

After lunch, Luo just dropped his job and left. No need to ask, Luo Xu also knew why he went, he must have gone out to play cards. Every Chinese New Year, the entertainment of adults in the village is gambling money, which has not changed for so many years, and there is no intention at all.

Zhao Hui finished lunch, and soon started to work on dinner, and the evening was the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and it was also well prepared, especially this year, which was a year for their family to raise their eyebrows, and they had to prepare well.

Luo Xu offered to help, but Zhao Hui didn't let him do it and let him go out to play cards. Luo Xu was not interested in gambling, so he went to the clinic to help his father.

When he arrived at the clinic, Luo Qingyuan was still busy, and when he saw him walk in, he just glanced up, and was busy treating patients.

"Dad, if there is anything I can help with, you tell me, I'll do it. Luo Xu asked.

Luo Qingyuan said: "There's nothing you need help with here, it's almost over." Oh, by the way, two days ago, your junior high school homeroom teacher, Mr. Song, came to see me and asked about your situation, Mr. Song is still very concerned about you, take advantage of the afternoon time, you can go to Mr. Song's house to visit him. ”

"Teacher Song is sick, what is it?" Luo Xu asked nervously.

Luo Qingyuan said: "Don't worry, when you're old, there will always be some minor problems, it's no big deal, it should be fine." ”

Luo Xu said: "I'll go to Teacher Song's house to have a look." ”

Leaving the clinic, Luo Xu returned home, got in the car and left. After graduating from junior high school for many years, he never went to Teacher Song's house. Last night, I heard Zhao Dakui say that in the second year of junior high school, Teacher Song forced Zhao Dakui to pick him up and drop him off from school every day, and Luo Xu thought that he would go to see Teacher Song when he came back.

When you look at your past teacher, you can't go empty-handed. In the trunk of the car, there are good cigarettes and good wine that he brought back from the provincial capital, and Mr. Song loves to drink, and he also loves to write poems and prose, all of which Luo Xu knows, and it should not be wrong to send some cigarettes and alcohol.

In addition, he also went to the supermarket in the town to buy some health care products, and stuffed 10,000 yuan in the packaging box of health care products. gave Mr. Song money in person, Luo Xu guessed that he definitely didn't want it, so he stuffed the money in the box of health care products, which was a gesture of affection.

Teacher Song's family lives in the town, very close to the school, and Luo Xu visited his house when he was in junior high school. The car drove to the door of Mr. Song's house, and it was the same as before, with three bungalows with yards.

There was an old yellow dog lying outside the door, with long hair, lying listlessly outside the door, and when he saw the car, he only raised his eyelids, and did not bark a few times like an ordinary watchdog. This dog is already an old dog, just like an old man who has entered the age of antiquity, without the energy of his youth.

"Rhubarb, I didn't expect you to be alive. ”

Luo Xu got out of the car and said hello to the old yellow dog, when he was in junior high school, Teacher Song's family raised this big yellow dog.
