He Xiangdong, who is rare and generous, bought two soft sleepers for the ticket to Shanghai this time, which is several times more expensive than the hard seat. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If it was just He Xiangdong alone, he would definitely buy a hard seat to make do with it, but this time there was Wang Miwei who came with him, and the old man was so old. The road from Beijing to Shanghai is long, he doesn't dare to let the old man sit in a hard seat, if something goes wrong on the way, then he will really die.

The train was slow to death, and it stopped halfway, He Xiangdong and Wang Miwei sat for a day and a night before arriving in Shanghai.

After getting out of the car, He Xiangdong first called the master, and after determining the address, he spent money to call a taxi.

Along the way, He Xiangdong didn't show anything unusual on the surface, but his heart was surging, and his heart was beating wildly. He hadn't seen Master for more than two years, and he didn't know if he was doing well.

He Xiangdong sat in the car, his eyes kept looking out the window, but now his mind was turbulent and he didn't have the heart to look at the scenery.

Shanghai is actually a very flavorful city, the economy here is developing quite rapidly, it can be said that it is already the economic center of the country, but it is not like the product of being swallowed up by modern cities as others imagine.

People who have never been to Shanghai may think that Shanghai is full of high-rise buildings, dozens of skyscrapers at every turn, and the walls are all shiny glass curtain walls, which are so brilliant that people can't open their eyes.

But people who have really been to Shanghai will not think so, Shanghai is a lot of high-rise buildings, but next to the building is a very ordinary and very short alley, rows of neat and tidy alleys but set off the characteristics of the city.

The western-style buildings everywhere seem to tell the special experience of Shanghai in that special era, and there are many people on the street who can't hold the big tree, and next to the big tree is a very atmospheric small café and small bar.

All of this is silently explaining the cultural heritage of the city of Shanghai, looking around other cities for the sake of rapid economic development, the original style of the city has been overturned, replaced with high-rise buildings with thousands of people, so that the monster of modernization has swallowed all the characteristics of the city little by little, so that there is no difference between the thousands of cities.

It can be seen from this that Shanghai has done just the right job in balancing the scale of inheritance and development, and it is worth studying seriously from other cities.

……

Zhang Yushu is the leader of the Shanghai Acrobatic Troupe, and the welfare of the unit was good in the past, and he was also assigned a room, three bedrooms and one living room, although the house is relatively old, but it is still quite large.

His son is now a civil servant, works in the cultural bureau of the district, he also has a house of his own, and he is usually quite busy with his own work, and he does not live with Zhang Yushu, but only comes over on weekends and holidays.

Zhang Yushu's lover has passed away for several years, and now he and Fang Wenqi live in the family, Zhang Yushu is in good health, he can cook or something, and he doesn't like to let others serve him, so he didn't hire a nanny. Sometimes when I am too lazy to move, I will ask a part-time worker to come and help out.

After receiving the call today, the two were waiting at the door. Fang Wenqi is 80 years old this year, he suffered too much in his early years, and his health has not been good.

He Xiangdong has always been wandering the rivers and lakes before, and his life has been too hard, so Fang Wenqi's body has not been able to take care of it well. In the past two years in Shanghai, he can be regarded as living a stable life.

Don't worry about food and clothing, and don't worry about where to live the next day. The climate in the south is also nurturing, although Fang Wenqi is still very old in the past two years, his complexion is much better, and his face is also red, and he is no longer the dead gray he was before.

Zhang Yushu is younger than Fang Wenqi, his body is very tough, and his body has to be raised, a person like Fang Wenqi who has been adrift for most of his life, can live to eighty is really God's face.

Zhang Yushu's hair is gray now, but he is very angry, and his speech is also very powerful: "Brother Fang, let's go back to the house and wait, do you know when Dongzi will come?"

Fang Wenqi was holding an old man's crutch in his hand, he looked at the direction of the car on the road, and said, "Oh, I'm not in a hurry." ”

Zhang Yushu smiled helplessly: "Xiao Dongzi said that he wanted to come to see you before, but you still don't want people to come, why are you still in a hurry now?"

Fang Wenqi pursed his lips, let out a snort from his nose, and said, "I won't talk to you." ”

"Hey, you old man. Zhang Yushu laughed angrily.

It is now a cold winter, although Shanghai is not as cold as Beijing, but the temperature is still a little low enough, especially for the elderly, this cold wind blowing on the face is really a bit unbearable.

Fang Wenqi waited for a while, but he didn't see the car coming, his face was red, he really couldn't wait, so he went back to the house to sit for a while to warm up.

Zhang Yushu also poured him a cup of hot water, and Fang Wenqi didn't have the heart to drink it, his eyes were always looking out of the window.

He Xiangdong only has his relatives, how can he not be like this, He Xiangdong's child is his only concern in this world.

Zhang Yushu looked at Fang Wenqi's nervous appearance, and his heart was amused and emotional, he hadn't seen Brother Fang have such a posture for many years.

Half an hour later, a taxi slowly drove to their door, Fang Wenqi stood up suddenly, and shouted: "It must be Dongzi coming, it must be yes." ”

Fang Wenqi hurriedly ran two steps forward, but suddenly stopped, looking a little flustered and dazed, and he didn't know if he should continue to move forward.

Zhang Yushu looked at the window and found that the young fat man who got out of the car was still a little similar to the child in his impression, thinking that it should be He Xiangdong.

He hurriedly walked to Fang Wenqi's side and urged: "Brother Fang, it's Xiao Dongzi who is here, why are you still standing stupidly? ”

Fang Wenqi looked up at Zhang Yushu, his eyes were worried: "Yushu, Dongzi has grown up beside me since he was a child, and he hasn't left me for so long, he has gone to a big city now, and he has his own career, I am just a useless bad old man, he ...... He won't hate me. ”

Zhang Yushu was speechless and sad, he knew that his brother Fang looked stubborn on the outside, but in fact, he was very fragile and inferior inside, he knew that Brother Fang had refused to see his apprentice for so many years because he felt that he was useless and couldn't help his apprentice, and he would drag his apprentice back, he felt very ashamed and had no face to see his apprentice.

"Alas......" Zhang Yushu patted Fang Wenqi on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Dongzi grew up with you, you know best what kind of person he is, he won't be like this." ”

Hearing this, Fang Wenqi nodded, and He Xiangdong's experience from childhood to adulthood came to mind, and scene by scene passed through his mind like a movie.

Yes, Dongzi is a good boy, no matter how long he hasn't seen him, his nature will not change.

Zhang Yushu saw that Fang Wenqi's state had recovered, he pushed Fang Wenqi to the door, and then opened the door.

He Xiangdong was moving the two big bags he was carrying from the taxi, when he suddenly saw the door open, he turned his head to look, and saw the familiar back that appeared countless times in his dream looking at him at the door.

"Master. He Xiangdong let out an emotional cry, and the backpack in his hand slipped to the ground unconsciously, and he rushed towards Fang Wenqi, like a milk swallow returning to its nest.

When he arrived at Fang Wenqi's side, He Xiangdong couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart anymore, he didn't have time to take a closer look at Fang Wenqi's appearance, because his eyes were blurred with tears, he felt so sore in his nose now, and he couldn't stop the tears.

He has been wandering alone in Beijing for more than two years, he has lived a very hard life in the past two years, he has a lot of things to say to his master, but he can't open his mouth, and in the end he just called Master again, and then knelt down beside Fang Wenqi.

Fang Wenqi hugged He Xiangdong's body, and the old tears were crisscrossed. (To be continued.) )
