Chapter 107: Shadow Puppet Memory
In fact, in the past two days, in addition to the documents of the "Growing Dried Fruits to Get Rich" project, there is another hot news in Dayangtun, but it is limited to the villagers who talk about it - naturally it is the deeds of Chang Zhimin who rescued Wang Shunyang's uncle. The old Wang Tou'er was rescued from the danger of his life by doctors, and Chang Chun returned to the village with Chang Zhimin before dinner. After that, the full version of "The Son of the 'Old Nine' Secretary Saw Righteousness and Bravery" and various edited versions quickly spread in the village.
The two major news stories in Dayangtun are not related to the incident itself, but the names of the two protagonists in the incident give strong hints to the villagers. Chang Zhimin and Chang Jiucheng did not expect that their son's unintentional act of inserting willows played a positive role in promoting the policy deliberately planted by his father from the side.
Hearing about Chang Zhimin's rescue, Jin Xing's heart swelled with extraordinary excitement, and her excitement contained venting in disguise. "I'm not wrong, I'm not wrong!" she snarled subconsciously, to affirm that her misfortune was not of her own making, even though the man who still did not belong to any woman could not belong to her. In reality, her man, her son's father, has not returned since he sneakily answered the phone at that joyful reunion dinner and drove away from the village on a certain day, and he has not even called her. She already suspected that her father-in-law was protecting the calf and helping Chang Feipeng hide the fact that he had a private meeting with her mistress, because that day he was in a car with his two sons, and the next day he and his eldest son came back, but her husband did not. It's ridiculous that she has to hide the same thing from her son. The soldiers are not as accustomed to the days when their father is not around like the left-behind children in the village, although they don't say anything in front of their grandparents and mother, Jin Xing can see that he is sullen, and he has no vitality when he jumps and jumps and cheers "Dad is coming back". There were a few nights when she slept next to him, and the child called "Daddy" vaguely in her dreams, and Jin Xingquan heard it, because she couldn't sleep at all because of those few times and more nights. What kind of man is this, what kind of father is this! Jin Xing's emotions changed from a woman's instinctive concern to resentment at first. But this full of resentment has nowhere to tell, the mother's family is not around-even if it can be what-whether it is inappropriate to confide in the parents-in-law or the eldest uncle, and the sister-in-law is a woman who makes a fuss, if you tell her, it will definitely scare her, and the first or two times can keep it secret for you, and if she talks too much, she will inevitably tremble and report to her father-in-law. In the end, she had to endure it herself.
This time, her former intended person did a very glorious thing, as if she was fighting for her, even if the direct beneficiary was Wang Shunyang's uncle and the father of the former intended person, her spirit was still greatly soothed. She no longer compulsively fantasized about the scenes of Chang Feipeng and Xiao Miqingqing to torture herself, but instead sketched the image of Chang Zhimin in her mind. It's not a difficult thing, it doesn't need to be exaggerated and exaggerated, as long as it portrays his humble and peaceful true colors, it will be a great incentive for her. If the wisdom of painting bread to satisfy hunger is reasonable, it may also be mainly reflected in the spiritual level. Jin Xing will make up for her abandonment of the emptiness of an abandoned woman with a good impression of Chang Zhimin, and try to get rid of the pain caused to her by Chang Feipeng and possibly the rest of the family.
The other members of Chang Jinzhu's family would not have noticed her mentality. Speaking of which, the rumors of Chang Zhimin's glorious deeds were the first to be brought home by Chang Feihu. On the day Chang Zhimin rescued people, it was nearly eight o'clock in the evening, Chang Feihu came home, and when he entered the door, it seemed that there was no one on the first floor, only the sound of TV. It turned out that everyone else went to the second floor, only Dad Chang Jinzhu sat on the sofa covered with a blanket and fell asleep with his head up holding the remote control, the TV was broadcasting a TV series with a short theme in the family, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were arguing fiercely over far-fetched contradictions, which seemed to be not enough to wake Chang Jinzhu. "Dad, Dad......" Chang Feihu walked to the sofa and called. "Oh......" Chang Jinzhu stretched and rubbed his eyes, "You're back?"
"You're unreasonable!" "Who is unreasonable?" "What the!" he pressed the standby button in a fit of rage and turned off the TV, "Alas, there are a lot of them these days, and there are few that can watch them." "Shall I find you some plates?" What do you want to watch, an American blockbuster or an old movie or TV series?" Chang Feihu asked respectfully.
Chang Jinzhu stared at the black hole of the LED TV screen, as if to see his own reflection in it. "Do you know what I want to see the most?" he said with a heartfelt sigh, "I want to see the shadow puppet show I used to watch." "Shadow puppetry?" Daddy's answer puzzled Chang Feihu.
Chang Jinzhu fell into memory: "Yes, it was under the big persimmon tree at that time. When the shadow puppet came at night, the big guys rushed to run over, huddled there and stretched their necks to poke their heads out. When the shadow puppet moved, hehe, no one spoke loudly, and no one's eyes were willing to turn elsewhere. "I remember. Chang Feihu saw that his father took a few breaths, and didn't say anything, so he interjected, "You also took me to see it when I was a child." ”
"Well, just remember. Do you remember how the shadow puppet moved?" Before the eldest son could speak, Chang Jinzhu replied by himself, "A light hit the scene, making a white background, and then the little shadow appeared with trembling arms and legs. Let's stand in the distance, looking at the shadows one by one like living people, what kind of faces and expressions, somersaulting and practicing the style of fighting, it seems to be quite energetic. Actually, it's not that they want to be alive and kicking around, it's the people hiding behind them who are fiddling with them. Everyone huddled under the old persimmon tree, patronizing and watching the shadow and shadow over and over again, who came to see how the people behind them were fiddling with them? Who cares how he is doing?" He waved the remote control and pointed to the TV screen: "Now this scene, for example, the shadow puppet on the stage is listless, and the two times of fiddling with the person in the back teach people to see through it at a glance, so what else is there to see? People still think that the light is dazzling." In this way, no one will watch the play, and the rehearsal will be scolded, which will be light. ”
Chang Feihu knows very well that after many years of crisscrossing the sea, his father is accustomed to treating people and things as an official without showing his face, and his words are incisive and even subtle; only when he returns home and faces his family can he have reservations or completely express his true emotions. And such a remark that contains both true feelings and is quite obscure and intriguing, he seems to have never heard it from his father's mouth before. He was savoring the meaning of his words when he suddenly heard his father ask, "Are we two stupid guests coming soon?" "Well, it's time to get to town." As we expected, they were delayed by a few small accidents along the way, and they arrived at our village the morning after tomorrow. "Remember, don't overdo it, the most important thing is to be on time. ”
Chang Feihu replied "yes", hesitated, and said, "Dad, in the afternoon, there was another incident in the village, and the people were all talking about it." "What's so sensational?" "It's still the people of the old nine families who do it, but it's his son." He briefly recounted Chang Zhimin's rescue, but his father asked him to explain it in detail.
"Haha, Zhimin is still a good boy!" After learning the whole process of this matter, Chang Jinzhu actually laughed heartily, "How does it feel like it was arranged in advance?" "Yes, yes, it was arranged in advance!" Chang Feihu fully supported his father's question, "How can it be so coincidental? Lao Tzu boasted about a new project to get rich in the morning, and his son went to save someone in the afternoon to help collect people's hearts, obviously Lao Jiu and their family acted to fool people!"
"You fart!" Chang Jinzhu scolded his son angrily, "You rabbit cub said that acting became acting? Don't use your brain, Wang Shunyang and his uncle are already sick, sudden death is not unusual, what's impossible to faint on the road? Besides, he was not the only one who reached out on the spot, and the driver who sent them to the town hospital was still contacted by you to Li San Laizi, unless you or Li San Laizi leaked the secret, otherwise how could Lao Jiu also put him into the play as a corner?" "Ah...... Yes, yes, yes, Dad is right, this is not acting, it won't be acting, it is letting Chang Zhimin's kid hit the luck. "If you think about it, it's clear whether this thing is true or acted. Chang Jinzhu did not relent, "Since you were a child, you have been inferior to others in helping others, this is a shortcoming, you have to realize it! I told you when you were a child, if you don't recognize your own shortcomings, you can't grow, and you can't be better than others." He trained his eldest son to nod his head again and again, and he was submissive.
Chang Jinzhu was teaching his son, and on Chang Jiucheng's side, there were almost some disputes between father and son. Of course, this has nothing to do with Chang Zhimin's righteousness and bravery.
Before dinner, "Lao Jiu" beckoned his son-in-law and son to sit around the dinner table. He first praised his son-in-law's administrative work and his son's standing up, and then he asked his son, "Zhimin, why did you come back today?" and "No, Dad." Our company has just finished a big order, and there is nothing to do. I remember you telling me on the phone that you had something big to do recently, so I took annual leave and came back to support you. "Yes, how do you support?" "Hmm...... My coming back is a sign in itself. In addition, you and your brother-in-law are busy with big things, and I will help take care of the chores at home and abroad. "That's it. I'm going to quit your errand when you're going to ...... And your brother-in-law will do it together. "Lao Jiu" has always been dissatisfied with his son's career orientation. Chang Zhimin certainly understood the meaning of his father's words, and he said: "At least not now." We don't break the law in designing, and the company doesn't owe us wages, so why quit?" "Lao Jiu" felt that there was a sense of confrontation in his son's words, "Don't just help your family, but also help your hometown." ”
Liu Yuyong sensed that the momentum was wrong, pretended to go to the toilet, and went straight to the kitchen after coming out. "When our village becomes rich under my father's governance and has our own design company or design school, I will come back to help the villagers. Chang Zhimin's voice seemed calm, "There are many ways to return to your hometown, but some ways take time to put into action, and your plan has a reason." ”
Lao Jiu wanted to say something, but his wife and son-in-law came over in time with fragrant food. "Stop talking, go wash your hands and eat!"
