After Guan Yan and the others left, Zhang Qi and the others arrived in a short time.

Everyone had breakfast lively, and Fan Jianqiang urged everyone to return to the city.

On the one hand, the mountain fowl shop has not yet been renovated, and Zhang Qi and Dayong need to go back.

On the other hand, Jiuliang is in good condition, his face is as usual, and he still needs to be trained, so he can't be delayed casually, Jiang Wu and Qi Fu also have jobs in Yucheng.

Everyone listened to the urging and told Fan Jianqiang and Yijin to pay attention to their injuries, and soon set off in Jiang Wu's car.

Looking at the shadow of the car that was gradually moving away, Yijin asked Fan Jianqiang: "Eight taels, are you still going to the stone wall of Laowu Mountain today?" ”

Fan Jianqiang looked at Yijin and smiled, and then hugged his shoulder: "Don't go." I told my dad that I would go to Xiaolian's house in a while, and I should go and see it. Big brother, does your wound hurt? ”

A pound said honestly: "What does it hurt?" It doesn't hurt at all. Eight taels, Xiaolian left suddenly, are you feeling distressed? ”

Fan Jianqiang thought for a moment and nodded: "It's a little painful." I had planned to take her around the city, but it was too late. I actually have a lot of ideas about Xiaolian, but now they have all come to naught. I also know that she left disappointed. Big brother, somehow, I feel like I owe Xiaolian a ......"

Yes, for Xiaolian, Fan Jianqiang feels indebted.

Even at this moment, the letter could still easily appear in his mind, and the cry on the phone could still easily ring in his ears:

"When you were still studying in Shili Town Middle School, I couldn't stay at home, and I always wanted to sneak to see you, but I didn't dare to ...... At that time, I wanted you to teach me to read and write, but I didn't dare, I was afraid that you wouldn't be happy......"

"Even if you'll never wake up...... I also go to see you every day...... Take care of you every day...... Feed you porridge ......"

"There have been several ...... I want to get out of the grass...... But I still don't dare...... I'm afraid you'll talk about me...... I love seeing you sitting on a stone wall reading a book......"

"By the way, I'll definitely read and write...... Like you said, be a person with temperament...... If you can't do it, don't blame me, Xiaolian is a girl, not as smart as you...... Brother Baliang, did you receive that letter? The words I write must be ugly to death, hehe......"

Yijin found that Fan's strong face was sad, so he also hugged his shoulders tightly: "Eight taels, don't be sad." Perhaps, Xiaolian left suddenly, with her own thoughts and hardships. Maybe she'll be back after a while, right? The eldest brother can see clearly, you are actually very good to Xiaolian, and you can't say that you owe it. Hey, if only I had figured out earlier and stopped her......"

So, Fan Jianqiang came back to his senses from his thoughts, and then gritted his teeth, not thinking about those sorrows: "Big brother, you know what happened when I went to the county agricultural science institute last time. I guess there should be news in the next two days. If it's good news, you have to be prepared. Because, I plan to ask my father to go to Secretary Xu and contract a piece of mountainous land as a test base for the cultivation and planting of Yanhusuo in Lao Wushan. If the trial is successful, there will be a lot to be done. In addition, my father is too old to do farm work, so I plan to turn Westinghouse into a department store. After all, Shili Village is too closed, and it is not possible to go to Shili Town, let alone go to the county seat, and daily necessities such as sugar, tobacco and alcohol are always needed. As for the money, I've thought about it, so I'll take out some of what I earned last time, what do you think? ”

"Yes, I see it!" Yijin nodded vigorously, and then said with a smile, "Eight taels, big brother will tell you the truth, I sometimes feel that you are not only the eight taels of the old Fan family, but also the eight taels of Shili Village." ”

Fan Jianqiang immediately frowned, and then said with a smile: "Big brother, you said this sentence very well, hehe." ”

Yijin immediately said with a smile: "Actually, this sentence was not said by me, but by Secretary Xu." Last night drinking, I nagged him about you, and I wanted to say that I mean, that is, I can't explain it clearly. Lao Secretary Xu answered me, and then said this sentence, I remembered. ”

Fan Jianqiang took a hard breath, then scratched his head, and said with a smile: "Actually, I'm not that good, and I'm not sure that I will succeed." But I did think that when the old Fan family stood up, it was also necessary to take into account the future of the entire village. Because I think that this place seems to be full of poor mountains and bad waters, but there are green mountains and green waters in people's hearts......"

The two brothers were chatting here, and Lao Fan walked out of the hall and said that he should go to Xiaolian's house early.

So, ten minutes later, Yijin stayed at home, Lao Fan and Fan Jianqiang set off, carrying a small half basket of eggs in their hands.

Along the way, Lao Fan had to talk about Guan Yan's good from time to time, saying that she had been on the phone and answering the phone all afternoon yesterday, almost never stopped, and was even more anxious than her father: "She also said that she accidentally found that you wrote very well, and planned to contact a well-known calligrapher and painter to polish your pen power, and my father agreed for you......"

Fan Jianqiang has been listening to his father obediently, but when he heard this, he still had to be surprised.

The surprise is that Dad and Guan Yan have discussions, and these discussions all revolve around themselves.

Lao Fan didn't care about Fan's strong expression, and continued to say as he walked: "Dad told Minister Guan last night that he was happy and worried. Eight taels, as a father, I don't want you to be prosperous and rich in the future, I hope you can be safe. I just thought, in the future, if you have a good life, even if you have a big income, you can take the time to come back, bring a bottle of old wine, drink two sips with your father, and be content with your father. When the old man was alive, he gave me a lot of rules, and I was afraid of him. But now that I'm a father, I don't want to give you any rules. What your Uncle Wen Qing said at that time, now that I think about it, I still think it makes sense, he said that father and son are like brothers......"

Fan Jianqiang listened while walking, and felt in a trance that the last thing that was missing was moving, and it was by no means boring.

Soon, the father and son came to Yu Xiaolian's house.

Yu Fugui was obviously surprised by the arrival of the Fan family's father and son.

After the accident, he asked Yu Xiaohe to go to the back room with a rice bowl and watch TV while eating.

Sitting down, Lao Fan was just about to express his intentions, and Yu Fugui sighed: "Brother, you came just in time, I originally planned to find you." ”

Lao Fan couldn't help but worry, but didn't speak.

Yu Fugui followed and said: "I regret it, I listened to Lu Kui's words and went to your house to make trouble." I understand it now, and I understand it, I have lived for such a long time, and my life is all confused. Hey, for all these things I have done, and those people who have done them, they are not even as good as my own daughter and that widow......"

When he spoke, Yu Fugui lowered his head and sighed again and again.

Lao Fan didn't expect him to say this, so he opened his mouth and said: "Fugui, don't say that, last time, I knew that Lu Kui was behind the ghost, and I didn't blame you at all." Who are you rich and noble, can I not know? You, like me, are honest croppers, and you have long lost your heart. Besides, Lu Kui's thing is bad behind his back, not once or twice, and everyone knows it. It's just that Xiaolian, the child, left suddenly, and I feel a little ......"

Yu Fugui immediately raised his head and said, "Brother, Xiaolian left, and it was also caused by my confusion." I didn't have a proposition all day long, I couldn't stand the coaxing, and I also had a small abacus, and I always asked Lu Kui to use it as a gunman, Xiaolian saw it in her eyes, and was angry in her heart, thinking that I was embarrassed to her. Usually, I always have to go to the Lujia shop secretly, play small cards, play small bets, and there is no right way. That day, I was still confused, and in a fit of anger, I not only scolded her, but also slapped her. Hey, I'm happy, but Xiaolian's heart is dripping blood......"

As he spoke, Yu Fugui actually burst into tears.

"Being a father is so uncompromising, and being a girl can't hold her head up anywhere. Last night, I didn't sleep all night, thinking about this and that, I feel most sorry for Xiaolian, that is, I didn't let her go to school. I guess what she hates about me the most is this ......" Yu Fugui kept saying, and when it came to emotion, his upper body trembled a few times one after another.

Fan Jianqiang, who had been standing aside and listening silently, couldn't help but think of Yu Xiaolian's words when she parted.

At the moment, when I looked at Yu Fugui again, I felt that he was quite pitiful.

So, thinking of some of what Yu Xiaolian said, he thought it was necessary for him to say a few words, so he interrupted: "Uncle, when Xiaolian was leaving, she called me. She told me not to blame you, saying that you have actually changed a lot over the years, and you have treated her a lot better, and let her do everything. She also cried and said, no matter what, you are her father, and in her bones, she feels very sorry for you! ”

After finishing speaking, Fan Jianqiang turned his back: although this is someone else's family affection, he is just paraphrasing, but he still has to be moved to the point that his eyes are sour.

Yu Fugui stared at Fan Jianqiang's back with a little disbelief, and opened his mouth for a long time without speaking.

Perhaps, he didn't expect Fan Jianqiang to speak.

Perhaps, he didn't expect Fan Jianqiang to say these words.

In short, he was stunned for a while, and then he said excitedly: "Xiaolian really said that? Did she really say that? ”

Fan Jianqiang turned around and smiled hard: "Well, that's what she said. ”

Suddenly, Yu Fugui's cries came from the hall, wave after wave, difficult to suppress, and it was unclear whether it was more relieved or more difficult.

After a long time, Yu Fugui stopped crying and said to Fan Jianqiang: "When Xiaolian left, she left all the money in the family, I really didn't expect her to be so able to run the family, and she has saved more than 3,000 yuan in the past few years, all of which are five yuan and one, and the largest one is ten yuan." There is a big red envelope inside, Xiaohe said, this is what her sister has made a long time ago, and plans to send it to you when you go to college. She also left a letter, saying that this run away from home has nothing to do with you, if I embarrass you, she will never come back in this life, and she will not recognize me as a father...... You say this girl, why is she so sensible...... But I saw the crooked words she wrote...... I regret it so much that I want to hang myself...... I was ...... that year She should go to school......"

Needless to say, in the end, Yu Fugui had another stormy cry.

Hearing this, Fan Jianqiang turned around and left, letting the tears pour down, but his voice was peaceful: "Dad, you accompany Uncle Yu to chat for a while." I had a bit of a headache and went back first. ”
