Chapter 33: The Prodigal Son Returns
He had just turned all his energy to infrastructure work when he received a phone call asking him to talk.
If someone else asked him out so rashly, he might have shirked it on the grounds that he was busy with work, but this time he also wanted to go, because this person was Ke Fan.
He arrived at a restaurant in the town as promised, and Ke Fan stood at the door with his two younger brothers waiting for him.
After sitting down, Ke Fan raised the wine glass in his hand: "Brother Ren, thank you for waking me up with a word!" Do it first! After saying that, he raised his head and wiped it out.
Without waiting for Ren Feng to speak, he picked up the second cup again: "Thank you Brother Ren for this glass of wine for the Ding family brothers!" Thank you for providing a proper job for these four brothers! ”
After drinking, he raised the third glass of wine: "This glass of wine is solemnly apologized for our two visits to the door!" ”
This Ke Fan is interesting, he usually makes amends first, and then thanks, he comes in reverse. Ren Feng originally wanted to say something polite, but seeing that he seemed to have other things like this, he didn't speak, and looked at him with inquiring eyes.
Sure enough, Ke Fan still had something to say: "Brother Ren, I was really embarrassed to do so many regretful things before......
Ke Fan started from his father being killed by camels, from how hard he practiced for revenge, how he mixed up with the boss of the thirteenth shop, and talked about it until now.
He didn't learn any traditional kung fu, just fought with people, found sanda videos to practice, practiced strength and speed in an almost self-harming way, summarized and grew up in battles again and again, and summed up some deadly moves, before slowly walking to the position of the boss of the thirteenth shop. That is, he is young and lucky, and some people may be crippled. He is not much better, there are countless major and minor injuries on his body, all of which are supported by his body, and it is basically impossible to go to the hospital, at most he buys some medicine and messes around by himself. Now there are a lot of hidden diseases in my body, and when the sky changes, my joints hurt all over my body.
But this still didn't make him take revenge personally, and the camel killed himself, but he couldn't understand the hatred in his heart. He is also desperate for himself, he doesn't dare to face his mother, and sometimes suppresses this remorse and anger with some crazy actions, although it is not to the point of killing people and setting fires, but he also does not do less moral things to find people for no reason.
There is also resentment towards relatives, feeling that no relatives can help in the death of his father, feeling that they are not good people, and not wanting to have anything to do with these people.
However, he took special care of the four brothers of the Ding family, a distant cousin. He felt that these four brothers were the same as him.
The great-grandmother of the Ding family brothers and his great-grandmother are sisters, such cousins have long been diluted, and if they don't deliberately mention it, they will generally be regarded as irrelevant passers-by, and only the identity of the emperor's uncle like Liu Bei will be mentioned.
The father of the Ding brothers, Ke Fan's cousin, named Ding Fansheng, has not been so smart since he was a child, and now he is said to have mild intellectual retardation. It's more obvious when I'm reading, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to read and deliberately let him read later, but after reading countless books in the first grade, he only wrote his own name. The reason why the name is written fairly well is because the teacher always punished him for writing his name hundreds of times, so he practiced it.
Ding Fansheng really couldn't read books, and his parents thought that they couldn't count on him, so when he was a teenager, they opened up a family affair for him and married a mentally handicapped girl from a neighboring village, hoping that they could have children early and continue to retire in the future.
As a result, they were really angry, and they gave birth to twin sons in their first child, which made the two old people very happy. It's a pity that Ding Fansheng's head is not bright, but he is very persistent, he really likes children, and he doesn't let his grandparents interfere. And he took it upon himself to name his two sons Ding Yi and Ding Yi, and it took a long time to turn it out of the dictionary, just thinking that his name had too many strokes, and it was very difficult to write the name, so he found the easiest way to take it.
The two old men had no choice, they couldn't intervene, they basically became a piggy bank, and when their son had no money, they came over to ask for it.
That's it, in more than a year, the daughter-in-law gave birth to twin sons, and it really responded to the word prosperity, and there were four sons in two years. This time, when the daughter-in-law gave birth very suddenly, she cut the umbilical cord by herself without waiting for the midwife to come to the door, but unfortunately she forgot which one came first and which last. Others told Ding Fansheng to weigh the first one, the heavier one is the third, and the lighter one is the fourth. This Ding Prosperity still wants to be tough with others, why should the heavy one be light first?
Originally, the twins were called Ding San and Ding Si, and for this matter, he called Ding Busan the heavier, which means that he is not the third, and the light one is called Ding Busi, which means that he is not the fourth. No one else can control him.
With so much to eat at once, the family couldn't bear it, and Ding Fansheng and his wife didn't know how to plan and save, so they ate a lot if they had, and they didn't go to the old man to ask for it. The two old men sighed in their hearts, but they couldn't help it. At first, they were able to give them with the help of their neighbors. Slowly, none of the neighboring grains were needed, and they gradually decreased.
Forced to have no choice, the two old men had to beg for food. Before waiting for his grandson to retire, he came to this point first.
In fact, the four brothers of the Ding family are not mentally retarded, but their parents are like that, they lack education, and other children look at them like monsters, so they can't get the inspiration and guidance of others. So, it seems that they are as stupid as their fathers. When I grow up, I don't know right and wrong, who has food with whom, and those who don't eat will turn their faces at any time, and the people in the village can't help it.
When Ke Fan met them, he was fighting with others, and he had the strength and cooperation, but there was absolutely no reason. Ke Fan is not always reasonable, he feels that fighting with such four people is simply like a tiger, and after figuring out the reason, he helps them to be unreasonable, telling them that as long as they follow him, they will have food.
And he did, and they had something to eat at all times, so the four big ones listened to him all the time.
After Ke Fan was taught a lesson when he first went to Renfeng Miaoba to make trouble, he actually kept reflecting when he went back.
He also roughly knows a little about Ren Feng's situation, he was quite unconvinced by this senior brother when he was just in high school, and the junior high school teacher blew so hard that he was just an ordinary person after high school, he felt that he was definitely better than this senior brother! However, fate made people, he couldn't read it, and he lost the opportunity to compare this senior brother. Later, when I became famous, I thought that it was actually nothing to study, and it was nothing more than going to university.
Until he saw Ren Feng come back to run a seedling farm, something similar to his father's experience happened, but the result was completely different. After he returned, he kept recalling that his original purpose was not to avenge his father? What is the best way to get revenge? Is it just to fight for your future and kill a gangster? Now that damn person is dead, but he has become the person he once was, is this the result he wants? All of this is a mistake!
The most important thing he should do is to realize his father's expectations, so that his father can really look at the nine springs! He failed to do it.
Retreating to the next thing, so that what happened to the father will not happen again, so that more fathers can produce and build with peace of mind, is also a kind of tribute and comfort to the father! And this, Ren Feng helped him achieve it, he should have come to apologize a long time ago.
What he couldn't rest assured about was the gang, especially the Ding brothers, and he felt that he should find a legitimate job for them. These people are not inherently bad, just like Ke Fan himself. If they are allowed to break on their own, not everyone may have the same consciousness as him, and it is very likely that they will go further and further down the wrong path.
But how to get a group of people who can only destroy to transform and learn to build, this is something he can't solve. It wasn't until Du Bufan began to come to Ren Feng's trouble again that he suddenly thought that maybe this Boss Ren could control and change these people. So he entrusted his brothers who were willing to stay to Ren Feng.
And he himself is even more remorseful and blamed, feeling that he has failed the hard work of his parents, and there is no chance to redeem it.
In fact, he is still very young, the road of life is very long, and there are endless possibilities, but when a person's thoughts are drilled into a small bull's horns, they can't find the broader world outside. Ren Feng reminded him again that his mother is still there!
For many years, he did not dare to face his mother, and he did not even want to hear from her. Although he never really left home far, although he often couldn't sleep all night and missed his mother, he always didn't dare to go back to Kejiazhuang, but the thirteenth shop in the small projectile land still had a forbidden area for him.
After listening to Ren Feng's words, he returned home for the first time after leaving home and saw his mother, who was thinking about it day and night.
The house is still spotlessly clean, just like before, but it seems lonely and lonely. My mother was much older than she had been, and her hair was starting to turn gray. At the end of the year, other families are busy buying New Year's goods, but there is only one lonely old man in his own home, holding a family photo and wiping it quietly. After his father died, he vowed not to shed tears again, and Ke Fan, who had been fighting for his life for many years, was scarred and physically and mentally exhausted, and at this moment, he could no longer suppress his tears.
"Mom! I don't know how many times I shouted in my dream, but at this moment I was depressed and out of tune. The chest seems to be filled with tears, and the tide is surging to stimulate the nerves and wash the soul!
Mother sat there as if she were dreaming. Time and space seemed to stand still for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth twitched, and tears had already flowed into his mouth. Ke Fan hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, finally able to cry loudly like a child, at this moment, the soul was finally released, and the endless darkness finally revealed the dawn!
After calming down, the mother did not blame her son, but kept saying "It's good to come back!" It's good to be back! "But the tears kept flowing!
