52. Return home
The hall house, the old-fashioned square table, is full of our local food, stewed fish, chicken and duck, and the familiar, mother's hand-rolled noodles, which are covered with oil flowers and green onion leaves.
"Dad!"
I pulled Liu Yushan, stood in front of the table, and shouted to my father, who was smoking a low-quality cigarette.
"Hey......"
Dad agreed, smiling lightly, but his red eyes all showed the excitement in his heart.
It is said that Dad's love comes in the eyes and comes plainly, but it is everywhere.
"Let's all sit down and eat, you didn't come back, your mother has been hot several times."
Two simple sentences made me instantly surrounded by love.
"This is Yushan, hehe, my girlfriend, your daughter-in-law."
As soon as I introduced, I felt that the little hand in my hand was tight, Yu Shan lowered her head and whispered with a red face: "Uncle and aunt, hello." ”
Her appearance is destined to bring shock to our simple rural family.
A girl as beautiful as a fairy actually became my girlfriend, and she was so polite and polite, Mom and Dad became overwhelmed, and Mom had to wipe off the ancestral bracelet on her hand to her, which I stopped.
It's so exciting.
……
After being excited for a while, he sat down at the table and prepared to eat.
The familiar taste soon filled my taste buds, and I greedily picked up the noodles while my mother wiped my tears and served me vegetables.
"You said you, the child finally came back, why are you crying?" Dad took out the majesty of the head of the family at this time.
"Hehe, that's it, my brother has turned white." The seven-year-old sister has been staring at her fairy-like sister.
"Hehe, eat first, and wait for my brother to get you a gift."
"Eh, Xiaolong, don't spend your money if you have it." Mom had to babble a few more words.
"Eun."
A dinner was spent in a warm process, and when Yu Shan and I showed up in the hall with a few large bags of gifts, my parents were shocked again.
"Dad, this is a cigarette for you, Zhonghua, don't smoke your cigarette in the future, it's not good for the lungs, this is Wuliangye, it's very good, you must love to drink it, you can watch this wine and give it to grandpa and uncle."
"Mom, this is the clothes I bought for you, the shoes are chosen by Yu Shan, you see if they fit, and the clothes, they are all selected by Yu Shan, hehe, today's popular style, haha, come to Xiaohu, you want a learning machine, a handheld computer, little sister, your Walkman, in this way, these clothes, you all try them, see if they fit."
I took them out one by one, and in an instant, the two-meter-long chairs in the hall were filled.
Dad held wine in one hand and cigarette in the other, and his Adam's apple squirmed a few times and asked me: "Xiaolong, these are not cheap, the car outside ......"
Mom turned her head and looked at me seriously.
I smiled: "Don't think about it, the car belongs to the boss, I borrowed it now, convenient, some of these things are also the boss's, he is very good to me, and asked me to send it back to you, hehe." ”
I don't dare to tell them that I am now a night manager, a site manager, with a basic salary of 30,000 yuan and a deposit of 200,000 yuan, which is an unimaginable number, and I have to say it, they are estimated to be frightened.
"Well, Xiaolong is serious and motivated at work, and the boss is very optimistic about him." Yu Shan on the side also spoke, and my parents looked at the gift I bought back with a half-believing look.
"Wow, big brother, you're so good." Xiaohu held the learning machine and yelled with a flushed face.
The little sister was more direct, took the clothes and went back to the house, ready to try them on.
After a night of excitement, in the midst of tension and apprehension, I fell asleep.
This night was the most restful sleep I had, and I felt that nothing outside had anything to do with me, and I could only be so stable at home.
Of course, I didn't sleep with Yu Shan, but with Xiaohu, and Yu Shan slept with Xiaomei, which is our custom here.
Early in the morning, I was arrested by my father, saying that I was going to the town to get firecrackers for my grandfather, and they were all made in the town.
Helplessly, I was arrested.
Grandpa has a lot of children, I won't express them one by one for the time being, my dad is the eldest, as the saying goes, mom loves the elder, so in this matter, my dad must be asked others to do more.
The place where the birthday is done is in the grandfather's own yard, but the money is made up by several children.
I took my dad to a private firecracker factory in town, where he made two rings of 30,000 firecrackers, which is a lot of money in our local village.
But I directly bought five more laps, a total of seven laps, 70 birthdays, the picture is auspicious, I don't care about this little money.
When I got home, my father went to my grandfather's house to help, while Xiaohu, my mother, and my little sister all changed into new clothes, and my mother and Yushan were holding hands and chatting in the hall.
"Let's go, I guess some of them are busy today."
Our Zhang family, in the village, and even the whole county is a big surname, so there are many people who can be called relatives, plus the usual grandfather is kind, the villagers are here, when we arrived, the village chef was busy with a few apprentices.
"Haha, my eldest grandson is back!"
Grandpa's neutral voice sounded in his ears, and when he turned his head, he saw that his grandfather was wearing a red Tang costume and walked over with his grandmother.
"Haha, grandpa, grandma, not only your grandson is back, but also your granddaughter-in-law is here."
"Oh, the fairy from this painting flew to our house?" Grandma pulled Yu Shan and praised her vigorously.
At the same time, there was a lot of talk around.
"That's the eldest son of the Zhang family, his girlfriend is too beautiful."
"Isn't it, like fairies, there is no one around us."
You don't know, Zhang Hailong drove back, BMW, my brother is obedient, luxury car, better than the county secretary's car. ”
"Really?"
"Not really."
There were a lot of people in the yard, and a few playmates from the village came to greet me with envy, and there was such a respectful smile in their smiles.
I was puzzled, but then I saw my father, wearing the new shirt and leather shoes I bought, holding Chinese cigarettes, smiling and greeting customers in the crowd.
"Oh, Lao Zhang, China, it's a good smoke, what's the matter, got rich?"
"Hehe, my son bought it."
When I saw this, I was relieved.
Enterprises are in transformation, enterprises are progressing, farmers are also seeking development, and the economy and capital have become important indicators to measure everything.
The mat in the courtyard was fully fifty Zhuo, and hundreds of people were clustered together, eating and drinking, so lively.
And once, the naughty boy who went to school became the most talkative topic.
……
When our family was making a birthday for the old man, the construction site in the north of the city, Shenghe Real Estate, to be precise, Brother Yue's gang, and the battle with the villagers had entered a white heat.
At noon that day, Xiao Gang led more than a dozen people directly to the house of the village chief Liu Dashan.
The gate of the yard was closed, and after a few roars, no one responded, and a small head came out of the courtyard next door: "Looking for the village chief?" He's in the district hospital. ”
"Huh? When will you be back? ”
The kid said with a big snot: "I don't know, but you can go to the village store and wait, Uncle Liu is here." ”
Xiao Gang was stunned: "What's the use of looking for him?" ”
Child: "That's the village chief's father." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Gang and the others turned around and left, and five minutes later, they came to the commissary.
"Are you Liu Dashan's father?"
Uncle Liu was dusting the goods on the shelves with a feather duster, and when he saw more than a dozen men, he didn't panic at all, and said lightly: "Land acquisition, look for him." ”
"Grass, it's the same for you."
A young man in his twenties beside Xiao Gang rushed up to grab Uncle Liu's collar.
Because before coming, Xiao Gang had already publicized and implemented Brother Yue's instructions in an all-round way, and advocated implementing them as quickly as possible.
"Oh, you kid!"
Uncle Liu turned his head in surprise, pinched his wrist before his palm stretched out, and looked at the young man's eyes: "Didn't your family teach you what it means to respect the elderly?" ”
"I'm grass! You old bastard! ”
The young man was angry, his face was embarrassed, and he hit it with his other hand clenched into a fist.
Uncle Liu stretched out his right leg and kicked the young man down with a direct leg.
"Boy, old man, when I was fighting, you weren't born yet!"
Uncle Liu's reaction, temperament, tightened for more than ten seconds, which surprised Xiao Gang, and then, his face turned cold, remembering Li Yaoyang's words, he turned around and walked out of the commissary, and before leaving, he left a sentence: "Give our village chief some gifts, and start lightly." ”
An hour later, 120 drove into the village and took the old man in his hand to the hospital.
Soon, Liu Dashan sweated profusely and ran into the hospital with his wife and children.
After another hour, the entire aisle of the hospital was crowded with angry villagers.
……
The day after the old man's birthday, I drove the car to go home, and I wanted to stay for a few more days, but I received a call from Li Qi.
"Come back quickly, things have changed, Xiaogang's group of people beat the village chief and his father, and it is estimated that they will come hard."
After receiving the news, I rushed back non-stop.
Two days later, I sat on the edge of the bed in the ward with my eyes flushed, looking at the old man with an oxygen machine plugged in the bed, his fists clenched in his hands, and the base of his tongue biting.
"These brutes, they can really do it!"
An old man who was over the age of ten was beaten all over his body.
It's just a pig and a dog.
"Xiaolong, quick, quick, come with me!" Liu Dashan, who had just finished paying the fee, had red and swollen eyes, and rushed in with the smell of sweat all over his body.
"What's wrong?"
"Fuck these brutes, do it to the villagers."
Liu Dashan wiped the sweat on his face, beckoned his wife, and threw the payment slip into her hand: "Take care of the old man, call me if you have something." "After that, take me and leave.
In the car, I was driving, and Liu Dashan, the co-pilot, looked ahead with stunned eyes: "Xiaolong, if this piece of land is given to your company, how much more can you increase in terms of price?" ”
This is the village official.
A village official who is not even the lowest-ranking civil servant, even if his father is hospitalized, he is worried about the compensation of the villagers and the interests of the people.
If every village official were like him, there would be more Huaxi Villages and Xiaogang Villages in the country.
I pursed my lips and said, "Brother Liu, to be honest with you, there will be no change in the price, because this project has now been registered in the district, and the leader instructed that construction should start as soon as possible." ”
"Is it really possible that there is no increase at all?"
I glanced at this resolute man with a side face, and thought for a long time before saying: "If, Brother Liu, you believe me and give us the project, I can tell the boss that although the compensation price cannot be increased, the biggest discount will be given in the area of the house, which is equivalent to saving money." ”
Liu Dashan put his hands on his thighs, his lips were dry and coughing, he was highly nervous after working for several days, I handed him a bottle of water, and he cleaned it up.
"Okay, but before you do, you're going to do something for me."
