Chapter 11: Meng Xiangang
Tuanjie Road, surrounded by low, uneven, and dilapidated bungalows, can almost be called the slums of Zhongzhou City.
Tapping the banknotes in his arms, Zuo Jian took a big stride and walked towards a bungalow on the side of the road.
"Hello Uncle Meng."
As soon as he walked to the door, the courtyard door of the bungalow was opened, and a middle-aged man with a wrinkled face and calloused hands walked out of it and ran into Zuo Jian head-on.
"It's Xiao Zuo!" The man called Uncle Meng was stunned, and immediately, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face, and he hurriedly said, "Come in, come in!" ”
"Excuse me Uncle Meng." Zuo Jian smiled and said politely.
If Lan Yijian was present at this time, he would definitely drop his eyeballs - Zuo Jian, who only used violence in his opinion, would actually have such a civilized and polite side?
As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Uncle Meng happily shouted to the room: "The child's mother is Rou'er's comrade-in-arms, and Xiao Zuo is here again." ”
"Uncle Meng, is Auntie asleep?" Zuo Jian hurriedly said: "If she falls asleep, I won't go in and disturb her!" ”
"No, no." Uncle Meng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since she was discharged from the hospital a few days ago, her body is getting better and better day by day, and the whole person is getting more and more energetic. As he spoke, he rubbed his hands gratefully, and said to Zuo Jian embarrassedly: "Xiao Zuo, the medical expenses you paid in advance may be returned to you later." ”
"Uncle Meng, I said it, you don't have to pay it back!" Zuo Jian waved his hand again and again, "Meng Rou is my comrade-in-arms in life and death, you are her parents, that is, my parents, if you don't lift it, I will call you the second elder and ...... parents."
"Humph!"
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded from the room, and then, a young man with a childish face and a height of more than one meter and seven meters strode out from inside, glanced at Zuo Jian, and said impatiently: "The surname Zuo, why are you here again?" ”
"Meng Xiangang!" Uncle Meng's face sank suddenly, pointed at the young man's nose, blew his beard and glared, and scolded, "How did you talk to your brother?" Is there someone like you who is neither big nor small? Hurry up and apologize to Brother Zuo! ”
"Dad!" Meng Xiangang didn't seem to see his face, and said loudly to himself: "Do you think this surnamed Zuo is a good person?" I sue you, my sister must have been killed by him! ”
"You fart!" Uncle Meng trembled angrily, "Someone from the army has already come to inform you, Rou'er died because of an unexpected mission, you little cub, why are you sure that it was your sister who was killed by your brother Zuo?" In the past few years, your brother Zuo has been helping our family every now and then, and you don't know it......"
"Alright, alright!" Meng Xiangang interrupted his father's words impatiently, "I sue you, if he hadn't felt guilty and done something unconscionable, might he send rice, noodles and money to our family every once in a while?" As he spoke, he turned his head, looked coldly at the silent Zuo Jian, snorted, and said, "The surname is Zuo, am I right?" Didn't wronged you! ”
Zuo Jian's face turned faintly pale, avoiding Meng Xiangang's aggressive gaze, and he did not speak.
"Brute! How did I raise such a brute like you who doesn't know what to do! Uncle Meng on the side was furious, pointed at Meng Xiangang's nose and scolded: "Hurry up and get out of here." ”
Meng Xiangang snorted, walked outside, walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, and said to Zuo Jian with a big sting: "The surname Zuo, I have no money to spend." I haven't paid for next week's food yet. ”
Zuo Jian counted out a few banknotes from his arms and handed them to Meng Xiangang, he took the banknotes, showed a trace of dissatisfaction on his face, whistled, and glanced at Zuo Jian, "It's just that?" ”
"Bunny, bring me the money!" Uncle Meng was in a hurry, and he stretched out his hand to snatch the banknote in Meng Xiangang's hand, but Meng Xiangang had already prevented it, shrank his hand, stuffed the money into his pocket, and ran outside, and disappeared in an instant.
"Uncle Meng." Zuo Jian grabbed Uncle Meng and persuaded: "Forget it, Xiangang is in high school, and he lives in school, so the cost is relatively large." ”
"Alas, the family is unfortunate!" Uncle Meng let out a long sigh, patted his thigh hatefully, and scolded: "I really don't know how to raise such a shameless thing!" He sighed.
Zuo Jian shook his head, took out a few crumpled banknotes from his arms, stuffed them into Uncle Meng's hand, and said with a smile: "Uncle Meng, the boy's age is the period of youth rebellion, the more you teach him, the more rebellious he is, and it will be fine after this time!" ”
"Don't, don't!" Uncle Meng hurriedly stuffed the money in his hand into Zuo Jian's arms, and said excitedly: "I can't take your money anymore, in the past few years, you don't know how much money you gave our old couple......
Zuo Jian leaned on one side, gently grabbed Uncle Meng's wrist, and said with a smile: "Uncle Meng, I regard you two elders as my parents, and it is a matter of course to give money to your parents, and if you don't accept it, you will treat me as an outsider, right?" If you don't accept it, I won't come in the future, you can do it yourself! ”
Uncle Meng used his strength several times in a row, but he couldn't break free from Zuo Jian's hands, and after hearing his words again, he let out a long sigh, "Xiao Zuo, since you said so, then Uncle is not good to say anything else...... It's just that I feel like I owe you too much......"
