Chapter XXXVIII

It's Chinese New Year......

This is the first time that Zhao Izumi has spent the New Year in the field so far, without the bustle and noise of Phoenix Village, full of loneliness and loneliness, and a little desolate, Zhao Izushi knows that he may be the same as this moment every year in the future, until one day he can return to his hometown with his head upright, maybe it can be regarded as a small consummation at that time, he has always imagined what that moment was like, and felt that it was cooler than five million.

Standing on the top of the dozens of floors of the International Mansion, as far as the eye can see, the whole city has become a sea of fireworks, and fireworks of different sizes and colors bloom perfectly in the night sky, lighting up the whole city. He likes to watch fireworks very much, but unfortunately the number of times he has seen it so far in this life can be counted with two hands, there has never been such a thing as fireworks in Phoenix Village before, until the richest Kuroko family in the village got some back from Qilian County, and in the next few years, the Kuroko family will set off fireworks every year on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, which is the happiest time for children in the village, although only a little, Zhao Izumi is no exception. Later, when I saw Xiao Ping'an in Qilian County, I saw it twice, especially once the richest man in Qilian County gave his mother 80 birthday, and set off fireworks for half an hour, even so, when the fireworks show ended, Zhao Izumi and Xiao Ping'an were still reluctant to leave, I heard that there might be, the two were stupid and waited for half an hour, when everyone left, Zhao Izumi was reluctant to carry Xiao Ping'an back to the hospital.

Zhao Izumi stood on the roof of the building and waited until he couldn't see the fireworks anymore before going downstairs, the Spring Festival Gala on TV had come to an end, and after thinking about it, Zhao Izumi finally decided to call Li Qingyi. In Fenghuang Village, Li Qingyi's dilapidated dormitory is full of wind, and there are New Year's food sent by the villagers on the table, bacon, sausages, melon seeds, candy, pickled fish, etc., compared with Greater Xi'an, Phoenix Village is very quiet, it seems to be the same as usual, except for the occasional naughty firecrackers of children, and the smell of gunpowder left by firecrackers and fireworks that permeate the air at twelve o'clock. It will no longer be like Li Qingyi, who wore new clothes during the New Year as a child, sitting quietly at the table reading books, and let people send Manchester's "Glory and Dreams", there are four boxes in the corner of the house, which are full of books, three of which are left by Zhao Izushi before leaving, these three boxes of books are the relics of the old monk, and the remaining box is brought by her, every time she needs any books or urgent needs, Li Qingyi will call a woman in Beijing, and send things to Qilian County, and she will travel a long way to Qilian County to pick them up.

In the past, Li Qingyi had already fallen asleep at this time, her work and rest were very regular, and Zhao Izumi had this fight, powerful men and women had a very regular life, and they would run around the village twice every morning after getting up, and Zhao Izui's habit of getting up and walking around in the morning was learned from her. When the phone rang dull and boring, Li Qingyi smiled slightly, she had been waiting for Zhao Izushi to call, even if the phone rang only twice this night, the last time it was the best friend sister in Beijing City, she cried and went crazy for a long time before she was comforted by her, this time you don't have to guess who Lu Dao is.

It's a pity that Li Qingyi guessed wrong this time, because the voice on the phone was unusually old and weak, thick and slow, but thick and simple, Li Qingyi instantly thought of who it was, and looked surprised.

"Girl, grandpa has been waiting for you all night, and you are reluctant to call grandpa?" In the study room of a courtyard house on Liumeng Street in Beijing, a certain old man who was once famous with gray hair and wrinkles said tremblingly, there are several men and women of different ages standing in the room, and the atmosphere is not daring to come out, the old lady has just been angry, and wants to drive them out.

Li Qingyi brewed for a long time, holding the phone tightly, soft and weak like a little girl who didn't grow up, and said, "Grandpa, the girl is afraid of your scolding, so I don't dare to call you."

"Why is Grandpa willing to scold you? It's been two years, grandpa has been waiting for your phone call for two years, you left without a sound, you go to teach you to say hello to grandpa, grandpa nodded who dares to disagree" After speaking, the old lady raised his head slightly and swept the group of people in front of him with his afterglow, the eyes made people shudder, with a solemn murderous aura, two or six years to join the army until now, it is a lifetime of Rong Ma.

"Grandpa, are you angry?" Li Qingyi muttered in a low voice.

"Angry, angry, what? Grandpa Tai is proud of you, you are the pride of our Li family, dare to ask whose daughter in Beijing can be like you? The old lady laughed, happier than when he had won a big battle.

"Not really angry?" Li Qingyi said disapprerovingly.

The old lady suddenly stopped laughing, and replied like a child who had been guessed out, "I was angry at first, but now I'm not angry." Don't blame Sun girl, it's grandpa who asked her to say it."

Li Qingyi pushed open the door and walked straight outside, the night of Qilian Mountain was very cold, the cold made people shiver, standing here you could see the white snow on the mountain in the distance, Li Qingyi suddenly smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't talk about this, the girl will give you a New Year's greeting first, I wish you good health, and live younger and younger"

The old man nodded with a smile, overjoyed, and said quietly, "I will be 100 years old next year."

Li Qingyi could naturally hear the old man's words, and said softly, "The girl must go back"

"Okay, it's not early, grandpa is going to rest, you can go to bed early, it's not as good as Beijing, take care of yourself" The old lady wanted this answer, hung up the phone with satisfaction, and then said to the high-ranking people in the study, "Don't look for her, she will naturally come back when she should come back, do you hear?" ”

A group of people looked at each other, and no one dared to disobey the old man's words......

Li Qingyi was stunned after making the call, speechless for a while, the old lady felt sorry for her, next autumn will be the old lady's 100th birthday, and she will have to go back no matter what. At this moment, Zhao Izumi of Xi'an City couldn't get through no matter how much he called, and he had some loss and regret, and finally gave up, seeing that the time was not early, he planned to sleep, and on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it was absolutely safe. In Fenghuang Village, Li Qingyi continued to read after she came back, this time she didn't wait for the phone to ring, and went to bed at two o'clock.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao woke up on time, and there was nothing unusual about inspecting the construction site as usual, and he was the only one left on the construction site who could not go under the city wall, so he could only stay obediently at the construction site to read books and newspapers. Until Han Sanqiang came back at noon, Han Sanqiang left with a bunch of food, and when he came back, he still carried a bunch of food, obviously looking in a good mood, Zhao Izumi estimated that he went back last night, the father and son got along well, Zhao Izumi took the things in his hand and ate unceremoniously, Han Sanqiang said very casually, "He quit drinking"

Zhao Izumi was stunned for a moment, and said unexpectedly, "This is a good thing, no matter what your hobby is to the extreme, it is sad and sad."

Han Sanqiang smiled stupidly, smoked a cigarette and replied, "He hasn't told me, it's been two and a half months since I last went home, if I hadn't let him drink last night and he wouldn't drink, maybe I wouldn't have known it, my body is tougher than before, and now I have a lot of conversations with the community last night, saying that my biggest wish now is to let me get married and have children as soon as possible."

"The father and son have no hurdles that they can't get over, they often go home in the future, talk to him, and I guess he is happier than anything else to see you" Zhao Izumi held the pig's trotters in his hand, looked up and smiled.

Han Sanqiang extinguished the cigarette butt and laughed at himself, "Brother Zhao, I, Han Sanqiang, have always felt that I am unlucky in my life, I am very back, and I have never done anything, but now I don't think that knowing you may be the luckiest thing in my life, I don't know if you really treat me as a brother, to be honest, I don't think I'm worthy of letting you say the word brother now, I'm not as fat as Er, in your words, I am wise and foolish." But I, Han Sanqiang, swear that one day I will be worthy of being your brother."

I talked too much with the alcoholic father who drank most of his life last night, and it had a great impact on him, Han Sanqiang was more determined to change himself, he knew that if he hadn't met Zhao Izu, he would still be such a bastard now, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling and bullying men and women.

Zhao Izumi put down the pig's trotters, wiped his hands and said with a smile: "Do you have a goal now?" ”

"Yes," Han Sanqiang said firmly.

Zhao Izumi nodded and said, "It's good to have a goal, otherwise no matter how firm you are, you may lose your way."

On the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the construction site, if she came in the past, Zhao Izumi was not surprised, but today she came to the construction site, Zhao Izumi was not surprised, this uninvited guest was Qin Yan. Han Sanqiang and He Ping, you look at me, I look at you, the two of them looked at Zhao Izumi with ill intentions, Zhao Izumi glared at them, took the things in Qin Yan's hand and put them on the table, Han Sanqiang deliberately quipped, "Secretary Qin, I haven't seen you for a few days, you have become beautiful again, you see if you have any single and unmarried friends, introduce them to me, don't worry, don't look at me now, I have nothing to achieve, but I have a heart to struggle"

"Okay, if there is, I'll let you know as soon as possible," Qin Yanjiao, who was wearing a gray down jacket, said with a smile.

Zhao Izumi turned his head angrily and scolded, "Get out of the way"

Afraid that these two goods would make trouble again, Zhao Izumi took Qin Yan to leave the gatehouse and walk into the construction site, and said with a smile, "Secretary Qin, you are not at home for the New Year, why are you running to the construction site?" ”

Qin Yan is a little thin, her long hair is fluttering and very temperamental, the word quiet can describe her, hearing that Zhao Izumi is still calling her Secretary Qin, Qin Yan said a little unhappily, "Zhao Izui, Secretary Qin, Secretary Qin's screaming, are you uncomfortable?" Just call me Qin Yan."

"Qin Yan" Zhao Izumi felt that it was more uncomfortable to call Qin Yan, but he could only call hard.

"I hate to go to relatives during the Chinese New Year, the seven aunts and eight aunts have to ask if they have a boyfriend, what kind of work they do now, how much is their monthly salary, and a series of questions, endlessly, I really can't stand it and run out, I want to go and have nowhere to go, and I think of you after thinking about it, so I came here" Qin Yan explained, which seemed reasonable.

Zhao Izumi was a little embarrassed and said, "Is it so terrible? ”

"There is a chance for you to experience it when the time comes," Qin Yan said with a sly smile.

There was no one on the empty construction site, and the two of them walked to the ground floor of the building and stopped moving forward, Qin Yan asked intentionally, "Zhao Izui, I heard that you still have a part-time job?" ”

"Working as a security guard in a bathing center on Xiying Road" Zhao Izumi didn't know how Qin Yan knew about Lu Dao, and nodded back.

"You're not tired of two jobs?" Qin Yan was puzzled, she felt that her usual job had reached the limit, and Zhao had two jobs, which was a little incredible.

Zhao Izumi shook his head and said, "I'm not tired, as long as I can earn money, I'm not tired."

Qin Yan said with some incomprehension: "Is it so heavy to make money?" What do you want so much money for? ”

Zhao Izui's face changed slightly, and his eyes were sad, "I used to think I wanted so much money for something, but one day when you need money, you will find out how terrible it is to have no money, and all your previous opinions will be overturned, so I have to earn money, and this situation can't happen again."

Qin Yan still didn't understand, her family environment was destined to make her not understand Zhao Izusi's life, if life could really be lived, why did Zhao Izumi make herself so hard? Perhaps only when Qin Yan experienced this situation herself, would she understand.

Qin Yan stared at Zhao Izumi for a long time before saying, "Maybe."

Just wondering, what is the story of this man?

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Hu Feng, who returned to his hometown in northern Shaanxi for the New Year, returned to the construction site, and after a few days of dull days, Zhao Izumi began to get busy again, and the two fat and the old lady who had left Xi'an for ten days had not yet returned.

The number of people on the bus began to increase again, but there was still a gap compared to before, after arriving at the landscape, Zhao Izumi was used to entering through the back door, but just arrived at the back door, but met Brother Ding and No. 38 again, this time the two seemed to be arguing, pulling and pulling the action was very large, Zhao Izumi wanted to avoid suspicion, but after the most rear, the situation deteriorated a little, and he had to appear hard.
