Chapter 117: Forgiveness
Zhang Xinsheng looked at Ding Fengjun curiously and said with a puzzled face: "Why is it a good childhood?"
Ding Fengjun said: "Look at you, you don't know how good it should be, you are carefree every day, you don't have to think about anything, you eat and play, you sleep when you are tired of playing, you wake up and eat, like a little pig, how good!"
Zhang Xinsheng stretched out his hand and touched Ding Fengjun's chin and said with a grin: "Second uncle, I suddenly discovered an interesting thing. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ding Fengjun was stunned for a moment, and asked with interest, "Is it, what's the matter?"
Zhang Xinsheng pretended to be like Ding Fengjun and said in a deep voice: "You adults always like to go back to childhood, and we children want to grow up quickly, second uncle, do you say, will one day when we grow up and will be like you and eager to go back to childhood?"
Ding Fengjun laughed and said: "Leave this question to yourself, maybe you will have an accurate answer when you grow up." ”
Zhang Xinsheng nodded as if he understood, Zhang Jilai was not in a hurry to go home after work, he went to the Public Security Bureau, counting the days, Luo Wenyu was still three years away from being released, and the court sentenced Luo Wenyu to ten years in prison, because Luo Wenyu had a good attitude in admitting guilt and performed positively in it, so he won a commutation reward, and in the past three years, Zhang Jilai has always blamed Luo Wenyu's death on Luo Wenyu, so he has never come to see Luo Wenyu.
Now that three years have passed, Zhang Xinsheng has grown up from a baby waiting to be fed, and the hatred in Zhang Jilai's heart has become weaker and weaker with the passage of time, maybe what Ding Fengjun once said is right, the deceased rest in peace, the living are gone, even if the hatred continues, Luo Xinyi will not wake up again, it is better to let go of the hatred in her heart and accept this fact that is difficult to change.
Luo Wenyu was extremely excited when he saw Zhang Jilai, and warm tears welled up in his eyes when he grabbed Zhang Jilai's hand.
"It's been three years, we haven't seen each other for three years, and I'm so glad you came to see me. ”
Zhang Jilai smiled and said, "How are you doing in it, no one bullies you." ”
Luo Wenyu smiled bitterly: "How can I not be bullied, but now it is much better, and I will not feel pain anymore when I get used to the pain." In the past three years, there are people who have left and newcomers, and here it will always be the old man who bullies the newcomer, so I have to be considered an old man, and no one dares to bully me anymore. ”
Zhang Jilai glanced at Luo Wenyu with disdain and said coldly: "You have also learned to bully others?"
Luo Wenyu was stunned, he hurriedly let go of Zhang Jilai's hand, his two hands were handcuffed by cold handcuffs, so he had to raise his hands together and keep shaking, and said: "I have never bullied others in it, because I have tasted the taste of being bullied, so I don't want to see others bullied again." ”
Zhang Jilai only smiled slightly, but did not speak.
Luo Wenyu sighed lightly and said: "I have thought a lot in it, and I have carefully pondered the things that have happened over the years, I know that everything is because of me, it is all my fault, and sometimes I even think why the judge will not betray me to death, and it will not be so painful for me to die." ”
Zhang Jilai smiled helplessly, and snorted coldly: "If you die, won't God have one less object of torture? As far as you are a heinous person, you still want to die, do you think that death is the best punishment for you? I tell you, you had better live well, and I am still waiting for the day you come out to settle accounts with you!"
Luo Wenyu was not surprised, he just smiled indifferently and said softly: "Next, how have you been doing in the past few years, what about the child, he has also grown up, right?"
Zhang Jilai breathed a long sigh of relief and said coldly: "You just need to take care of yourself, about the child, let's talk about it when you come out." ”
Luo Wenyu's eyes lit up when he heard Zhang Jilai's words, and he said with a little excitement: "Jilai, do you mean that if I can go out, you will let me see the child, right?"
Zhang Jilai said expressionlessly: "You are the grandfather of the child, I have no right to deprive you of the right to look at the child, as long as you come out of it safely, you can go to see the child at any time." ”
Luo Wenyu's tears flowed wildly because of excitement, his eyes were full of longing for the future, and the long-lost concern buried deep in his heart.
As if Zhang Jilai remembered something, he took out a paper bag from under the stool next to him, pushed it in front of Luo Wenyu, and said: " It's cold, this is the cotton clothes I bought for you, I think it was three years ago, although I don't know if you really had to ask me for money to buy clothes or just use the pretext of buying clothes to ask for money, in short, I didn't give it to you, now I think about it I still regret it, maybe if I gave you the money at that time, we wouldn't have come to this point, alas, anyway, you are an elder, I should always honor you as a junior, this dress should be made up for the debt to you three years ago. ”
Luo Wenyu was in tears, he trembled his hands, but he didn't take the clothes handed over by Zhang Jilai, he choked up with guilt and said: "Jilai, you are really a good person, the most sorry person for my Luo Wenyu in this life is you, if there is an afterlife, I am willing to make a cow and a horse for you to compensate for my debt to you in this life!"
Zhang Jilai smiled bitterly and pretended to be strong and said: "Let's not mention the past, and the things in the next life are not under our control, so it is better to use the remaining time to reform yourself, strive for leniency, and get out of prison as soon as possible." ”
Luo Wenyu was out of control for a while, he cried bitterly between his hands, looking at Luo Wenyu's shaking shoulders, Zhang Jilai couldn't help but feel a ball of pity in his heart, he tried to calm his heart, but the grievances of the past few years were like a living rabbit, struggling in his heart all the time, as if he wanted to escape from the shackles of his heart, tears dripping from his eyelids, Zhang Jilai quickly raised his hand to wipe away the tears that gushed out, gasped, he didn't want Luo Wenyu to see his sadness.
"Okay, I'm here today to see how you're doing inside, since you're safe and sound, I'm relieved, it's time for me to go back, you have to take good care of yourself inside, and you have to behave well and fight for leniency. ”
Luo Wenyu raised his head, looked at Zhang Ji with teary eyes and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely reform myself and strive to go out one day earlier." ”
Zhang Jilai nodded, he breathed a long sigh of relief, got up from the stool and turned to leave. And Luo Wenyu sat there for a long time and couldn't calm down.
"I'm already sorry for Xinyi, but I can't be sorry for Jilai, in the past three years, I have relied on Jilai to raise my child as both a father and a mother, and it's time for me to do something for him. Luo Wenyu looked at the clothes on the table and thought in his heart.
When Zhang Jilai came home, it was already very dark, and the days were short and the nights were long in winter, according to the usual time point, Zhang Xinsheng should have fallen asleep a long time ago, but when Zhang Jilai came to the courtyard, he found that the lights in the hall were on. Zhang Jilai tried to shout Zhang Xinsheng's name a few times, and as soon as the little guy heard Zhang Jilai's voice, he immediately jumped out of the house.
"Dad, you're back. Zhang Xinsheng's immature face was filled with a happy smile, Zhang Jilai hugged Zhang Xinsheng at once, kissed him fiercely on the face, and said, "Why haven't you slept so late." ”
Zhang Xinsheng pursed his lips and said with a little complaint: "I can't sleep if you haven't come back, if it weren't for the second uncle to accompany me at home, I would have run out to find you." ”
Zhang Jilai was stunned for a moment and said, "Your second uncle is here, what about the others?"
Zhang Xinsheng stretched out his hand and pointed to the hall, Zhang Jilai immediately hugged Zhang Xinsheng and walked into the house, Ding Fengjun was looking at something in front of the broken table in the room at this time, he was too serious to even notice Zhang Jilai's arrival.
"Second brother, why are you so focused?" Zhang Jilai's voice startled Ding Fengjun, Ding Fengjun turned his head to look at Zhang Jijun and said, "You kid, you have learned to write." ”
Zhang Jilai glanced at the table, it turned out that Ding Fengjun was looking at what Zhang Jilai wrote every day, Zhang Jilai put down Zhang Xinsheng, and said a little embarrassed: "The second brother has taught me so much knowledge, I always have to apply what I have learned, these are just graffiti." ”
Ding Fengjun smiled and said, "I don't think you are really modest this time, I seem to have a hard time writing these things, why do you still have so many pinyin?"
Hearing this, Zhang Jilai's old face turned red, and he said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "There are so many Chinese characters in our country, and the knowledge I have learned from the second brother is only a rarity, and there are many words that I can't write, so I can only use pinyin instead." ”
Zhang Xinsheng looked at Zhang Jilai and then at Ding Fengjun, he thought that Ding Fengjun was laughing at Zhang Jilai, and suddenly said unhappily: "Second uncle, my father has never gone to school, it is already very good to be able to write so many words, you should praise him, you should not laugh at him." ”
As soon as Zhang Xinsheng's words came out, Ding Fengjun couldn't help laughing, he reached out and took Zhang Xinsheng in his arms, bowed his head and said to Zhang Xinsheng: "You little rabbit cub, you know how to help your father speak at such a young age, what, aren't you afraid of offending the second master and being beaten?"
Zhang Xinsheng grabbed Ding Fengjun's big hand and said: "The second uncle is reluctant to beat me, the freshman is the most well-behaved, the second uncle hurts me too late, how can he beat me." ”
Ding Fengjun laughed, he held Zhang Xinsheng's immature little hand and said, "Just you are smart." ”
As he spoke, Ding Fengjun raised his head and looked at Zhang Jilai and said, "Brother Jilai, your child is really a clever ghost, if he is educated, he will definitely be a pillar of talent in the future." ”
Zhang Jilai smiled and said: "Alas, I also know that freshmen are smart and clever, but you also know that as illiterate as me, how can I educate children, I am really afraid that he will be ruined on me." ”
Ding Fengjun stroked Zhang Xinsheng's head and said, "I didn't say that you should educate him, I mean, take advantage of the past few years to earn more money, and when he reaches school age, send him to school and let the teacher teach him." ”
Zhang Jilai's face was flushed, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Second brother is right." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Jilai said again as if he remembered something: "By the way, second brother, as soon as you mentioned money, I remembered another thing and wanted to discuss it with you." ”
Ding Fengjun looked at Zhang Ji with a puzzled face and said, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Jilai said thoughtfully: "Look, we don't have much to live now, besides, didn't our contractor say that he was going to be disbanded after the year, and then we would have to face finding a job to do, I think we might as well take precautions, find the job in advance, and do it directly after the year, so that we will not be idle." ”
Ding Fengjun thought about it and felt that Zhang Ji was right, if the contractor really had to send the big guy home after the year, there would naturally be a gap at that time, and everyone in this family would point to him as a male laborer to eat, and it would take a lot of time to find other jobs at that time, so you can't always eat the old book, since this is the case, it is really better to find a job in advance.
Ding Fengjun frowned and said, "Do you have any ideas?"
Zhang Jilai scratched his head and said: "It is said that there is a lot of work on the kiln now, and we have all been to the kiln before, and the work on the kiln can be regarded as handy, and the money on the brick kiln is also high, I don't think it will work in the kiln again." ”
Ding Fengjun thought about it and said: "Okay, some time ago, a few guys came to me to talk about going to the kiln, but I didn't plan to go at that time, so I politely refused them, I guess they shouldn't be able to find a suitable candidate in such a short time, if it really doesn't work, I'll look for them again." ”
Zhang Jilai said happily: "Okay, second brother, you go and ask, if it's okay, let's leave after the New Year." ”
Ding Fengjun nodded thoughtfully.
It's not early, Ding Fengjun got up and said goodbye to Zhang Jilai, after Ding Fengjun left, Zhang Xinsheng grabbed Zhang Jilai's hand and said, "Dad, are you going out?"
Zhang Jilai squatted down and said to Zhang Xinsheng: "Well, if you don't go far away, how can Dad buy you delicious food." ”
Zhang Xinsheng lowered his head lifelessly and said, "I don't want my dad to go out, even if I can't eat good food, I don't want to watch my dad work so hard." ”
Zhang Jilai caressed Zhang Xinsheng's face and said: "Dad knows that Xinsheng is a good child, Dad will definitely make a lot of money if he goes out, and it is much easier to be outside than at home, and when the next Chinese New Year comes, Dad can buy you new clothes to wear." ”
Zhang Xinsheng raised his head, tilted his little head, thought about it, and said, "Dad really wants to buy me new clothes?"
"Of course, Dad has always been very calculating?" Zhang Xinsheng suddenly became happy, and he said happily: "Great, I want to have new clothes to wear, and children will no longer have to laugh at me for wearing patched clothes in the future." ”
Zhang Jilai's heart couldn't help twitching, he wanted to shed tears sadly, although he has been working hard in the past three years, he has not saved much money, and he has not paid back the money that Ding Fengjun took over him, let alone buy clothes for Zhang Xinsheng.
The clothes that Zhang Xinsheng has been wearing are still given to him by Ding Fengjun from home, they are the clothes that Ding Xiaoqi wore when he was a child, and there have been several patches on them, Zhang Xinsheng went out wearing such clothes, no wonder other children laughed at him and said that he was stinky and begged for food.
Zhang Xinsheng is very obedient, he knows that it is not easy for Zhang Jilai to make money, so he has never asked to buy clothes, in summer, spring and autumn, Zhang Xinsheng has always worn two clothes back and forth.
Zhang Jilai felt very sorry for Zhang Xinsheng, but there was no way, he really didn't have spare money to buy new clothes for Zhang Xinsheng, Zhang Xinsheng inadvertently noticed Zhang Jilai's loss, he was busy covering his mouth, seeing that he said the wrong thing, making his father unhappy, Zhang Xinsheng smiled and said to Zhang Ji: "Dad will take me with you when he goes out this time?"
Zhang Jilai withdrew his thoughts from deep thought and said, "Are you willing to go with me?"
Zhang Xinsheng scratched his head and said thoughtfully: "Although I am a little reluctant to let go of my children, I am still happy to be by my father's side, no matter where my father goes, I want to follow, I don't want to be discarded by my father." ”
Zhang Jilai laughed, he picked up Zhang Xinsheng, walked straight to the bed, put Zhang Xinsheng on the bed again, and said, "Silly child, how could Dad be willing to lose you." ”
Ding Fengjun was still on his way home, but he never thought that now there was someone in his family who was talking bad about him behind his back, and he was telling it to Zhang Fengrong, of course, this person would not have anyone else except Chen Binglian!
"Feng Rong, you haven't seen Feng Jun's happy look, do you say, that's Zhang Jilai's son, not your son, you don't know that I have never seen him so hot with our daughter. ”
Chen Binglian even described with strokes, her eyebrows fluttered when she spoke, although Zhang Fengrong was very repulsive to Chen Binglian, but at this time her heart fell to the bottom, in her opinion, Chen Binglian did not exaggerate, she also witnessed that Ding Fengjun was good to Zhang Xinsheng, that kind of care has exceeded the second uncle's love for his nephew, more often Zhang Fengrong suspects that Zhang Xinsheng is Ding Fengjun's son!
Chen Binglian looked at Zhang Fengrong, whose eyes were dim, and said with added fuel and vinegar: "Fengrong, you said that you are too, why are you so unlucky, is it so difficult to give him a son, I see, if it goes on like this, he will definitely dislike you." ”
