Chapter Twenty-Three: Liu Jiafeng's Smoke Surges

Soon after dawn the next day, Ye Xiaoshuai got up by himself, brought yellow table paper and wood incense alone, went to his parents' base, knelt on his knees and lit the wood incense, burned the yellow table paper, kowtowed, kowtowed, kowtowed, and then knelt like that, knocked his head on the ground, and kept muttering in his mouth: "Father, Mom, I'm going to leave with Dad Liu today, don't blame me for not being filial, I'm really afraid, I'm really afraid to see the place in our house, my master father and Wang Gandad both said that it is better for me to leave Yejiawa than to stay in Yejiawa, Moreover, the teacher who saved me also left me a letter saying that I had abandoned my home and traveled far away to reach the vastness of the world. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Father, Mom, you also said that I still left, okay?" Yes, I see!

Oh, there is another thing that I have to tell you, the teacher who saved me also said that I should give up my name and change my name to become the handsome of the spirit, so I want to change my name to Ye Xiaoshuai, do you agree? Well, I know that my name was given by my father, and I couldn't change it, but now that my family has suffered such a catastrophe, this name is also my memory. Well, yes, my name is Ye Xiaoshuai, my name is Ye Guanghua, well, okay, my name is Xiaoshuai and the word Guanghua. ”

After a while, Xia Taohong also came. Pulled up Ye Xiaoshuai and said, "Xiaohuazi, go back to breakfast." He turned to face Ji Ji and said: "Xingguo, Cuihua, don't worry, Old Man Liu is good, Xiao Huazi will not suffer if he follows him, in addition, there is us, Xiao Huazi is gone, and we still have to take care of him." ”

After breakfast, Xing Guizhi and Wang Zhiwen took Wang Xiaohua to Ye Xingbang's rice field, did not enter Ye Xingbang's house, and waited outside for Ye Xiaoshuai to come out.

Subsequently, there were gradually more people on the rice field, Ye Hehua and Ye Mei's father and daughter, Huang Yuxin and his wife Jiang Shiying, they were almost on the front and back. Then Ye Xiaoshuai's roommates Ye Gensheng, Ye Hexin, Ye Youliang and their families all came.

Later, Ye Wenbin and his mother Hong Li and Ye Zhenhu and Ye Juhua came over for a while, and Ye Zhenhu and Ye Juhua's mother Lin Guirong finally came.

Our family is farther away and we arrived last, with me and my father, my eldest father Zhang Guiwang and his wife, and the younger Zhang Guilan came together.

The rice field full of people seems to be a little crowded, Ye Xingbang's rice farm is not big, so there is no place for people to stand, and some people have to stand on the road outside the rice field.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, Liu Binghui's secretary Li Zheng was carrying a rectangular artificial leather bag, two orderlies, one carrying a leather box, and the other carrying a bundle of books.

After a while, Liu Binghui walked in front, Xing Tao followed behind, Ye Xingbang followed Ye Xiaoshuai, and several of them walked out of the door together, followed by Zhang Hua and Zhen Hongbing.

Xia Taohong's cry behind the door also came out with Liu Binghui's footsteps: "My poor child, you must be well, this will always be home, write a letter to the family if you have anything to do." ”

Xia Taohong's crying caused the entire rice field to have sour noses, and some women also changed their quiet just now, sobbing and sobbing, and at the same time a chord sounded:

"Xiao Huazi, it's good."

"Xiao Huazi, come back when you're homesick."

"Xiao Huazi, don't be honest about your family."

"Follow Daddy Liu and be obedient."

"Write to my family about something."

"No matter where you are, you must remember that you are the Ye family."

"Yes, I remember that it is the Ye family, and the family will help if there is something."

Ye Xiaoshuai saw that there were so many people on the rice field, and only said to Ye Xingbang: "I'll go down." Immediately slipped down from Ye Xingbang's arms.

When he walked to the place where the rice field was connected to the intersection, he turned around and bowed to everyone on the rice field three times on his knees, and said in a childish hoarse voice:

"Fellow villagers, when Huazi was young, I had to bear the pain of adults, and the pain of adults, but God would not abandon me, and I had to recognize Liu's father, so that I could have a place to escape from pain and sorrow. Huazi kowtowed and said goodbye to all the folks! ”

Jiang Shiying, Huang Yu's new wife, who was standing closest to Ye Xiaoshuai, also squatted down with teary eyes, wanting to pick Ye Xiaoshuai up, Ye Xiaoshuai said: "Cousin-in-law, don't be tired if you are not in good health, I'm fine." ”

Instead, he reached out to pull Jiang Shiying up, but the result was that it was very difficult for the two of them to get up, Huang Yuxin hurriedly held one of Jiang Shiying's arms with one hand and Ye Xiaoshuai's arm with the other. "There was also hot sweat on my head.

"What's wrong?" Xing Tao, Liu Binghui, and Xing Guizhi asked in unison, only to hear Huang Yuxin yell at his wife: "Shi Ying, what are you doing?" ”

Ye Xiaoshuai immediately endured the pain and replied loudly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that my leg hurts." ”

Liu Binghui strode over quickly and picked up Ye Xiaoshuai, turned to everyone and said: "Don't worry, Xiaohuazi is my grandson Liu, I said that no one can take it away, I will raise him well, let go of ten thousand hearts!" Secretary Ye, let's go. ”

As he spoke, he raised his feet and walked towards the road, Li Zheng walked to Liu Binghui's side and said, "Chief, I'll carry Xiao Huazi on my back." ”

Liu Binghui said: "Wait a minute." ”

A group of people also followed closely and sent them to the realm close to the Bright Brigade before returning one after another.

Ye Xingbang, Ye Hehua, and Wang Zhiwen sent them to the Guangming Brigade Highway all the time, and waited for Liu Binghui and them to drive away before going back.

Ye Xiaoshuai has never been out of Yejiawa, let alone in a car, there should have been the same surprise and surprise as children, not to mention children, even the first time an adult takes a car, it is full of surprise and surprise, and at the same time it is full of expressions on his face, and he has to keep asking this and that.

Li Zheng thought that Ye Xiaoshuai should also have a change in mood, and asked with a smile on his face: "Xiaohuazi, have you ever ever taken a car?" ”

"Nope." Ye Xiaoshuai replied lightly with two words.

"I haven't done it before, isn't it fun to sit for the first time? The first time I sat down, I was so excited. ”

"Oh." Ye Xiaoshuai replied with another word, which made Li Zheng also uninterested, and he barely talked much along the way.

Liu Binghui was concentrating on reading the documents, the two orderlies were driving in turn, Li Zheng had to take turns looking at the outside of the car aimlessly with his eyes, and Ye Xiaoshuai was holding a Qing Dynasty lithograph of "Zizhi Tongjian" and reading, but his heart didn't seem to be in the book.

Liu Binghui often glanced at Ye Xiaoshuai with his eyes, glanced at him, shook his head, and sighed.

The car was speeding forward on the road from Jinshan County to the provincial capital, and the trees on both sides of the road were speeding away.

At more than two o'clock in the afternoon, the car entered the provincial city area, the houses on both sides were all gray matchboxes, the streets were not very spacious, large and small cars were more crowded, and from time to time there were rickshaws and animal-powered carts in the meantime, which made the speed of the car travel even slower.

At this time, Ye Xiaoshuai's expression seemed to have a subtle change, not as silent as in the past period of time, and he was as indifferent to anything as if nothing had happened, and now he also stood up, observing the situation outside the car window, and said to Liu Binghui: "Dad, the road in this city is so difficult to walk?" It's not as good as our family's road, you can run as much as you want. ”

Li Zheng said next to him: "That's a road that can only be run by people, this is a road that can be run by cars and people." ”

Ye Xiaoshuai said: "I think if people get out of the car, it will be difficult to walk, and they will still run!" If you don't believe it, the two of us will run around here in the next day. ”

Liu Binghui laughed: "Haha! Li Zheng looks at you, lost, right? ”

Li Zheng didn't say clearly: "I didn't bet again, why did I lose?" ”

Liu Binghui said again: "Then you go and take a look now?" ”

Ye Xiaoshuai stuck out his tongue: "I can't run, it's okay to fly." ”

As he spoke, the car had come to a wide gate, and on either side of the door stood two soldiers with guns on their backs, their heads held high, their bodies straight and straight.

When the car entered the door, the two soldiers raised their hands and saluted the car, and the horizontal log that was attached to the door was raised high. The car entered the door or kept driving forward, the place inside the gate was very large, there were many tall or low thick green pines and cypresses, on both sides of the road were small red bricks of earthy red buildings, most of the buildings were two-storey, and the most were only three-storey.

The car stopped in front of a small red three-story building, and Liu Binghui asked the orderly driving the car to press the horn twice.

Another orderly had already gotten out of the car, walked to Liu Binghui's side, opened the door and blocked the upper edge of the door with his hand, as if to prevent Liu Binghui from being touched on the head, Liu Binghui frowned and whispered: "What are you doing with these fancy?" The dead are piled up and the people who crawl out are still afraid of touching their heads? ”

The car horn sounded a few times, but the people in the house didn't seem to hear it, there was no response, and the door didn't open and no one came out. Liu Binghui seemed to be a little unhappy and said, "What? No one in the house? ”

Li Zheng and the two orderlies did not answer, but from the back of the car, took out Liu Binghui and Ye Xiaoshuai's things, the three of them carried or carried or carried, stood at the door and waited for Liu Binghui, no one entered the door first, Liu Binghui picked up Ye Xiaoshuai from the car and said, "Grandson, we are going home." ”

He walked to the door, pushed the door open with his feet and walked in, Li Zheng and two orderlies followed him into the door, put the things in his hand under the wall next to the walkway, turned around and went out again, and closed the door casually.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a very spacious hall, with a three-person sitting couch, four single sofas, a long square red coffee table in the middle of the sofa, a wooden cabinet with glass doors standing against the wall, and a few flower shelves in the corner, with green plants.

At this time, there were two women and one man sitting on the sofa in the hall, both expressionless, but also slightly unfriendly.

Liu Binghui laughed and said: "I thought there was no one at home, look, I brought my grandson back." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the three-seater sofa and sat down, and put Ye Xiaoshuai next to him to sit, Ye Xiaoshuai swept his eyes on the three people a few times since he came in, and now he swept the three pairs of eyes again, thinking secretly in his heart; "It seems that Daddy is having a hard time picking up the house."

Liu Binghui pointed to a fifty-year-old woman with fair complexion, bright eyes, and a somewhat melancholy face, and said, "Xiao Huazi, this is grandma." ”

Ye Xiaoshuai called casually in a tender voice and obediently: "Grandma." "But this grandma didn't look at Ye Xiaoshuai.

Liu Binghui pointed to a woman in her thirties and forties and said, "This is your second mother." ”

The woman looked very young, with big wavy hair, spread out exaggeratedly at the back of her head, her eyes were as bright as black grapes, and the skin on her face was as delicate and white as cheese.

Ye Xiaoshuai also called obediently: "Second mother." ”

The second mother still responded: "Well, good! ”

Liu Binghui said to the man in his twenties: "Minghua, what do you say you should call you?" ”

The man replied lazily: "Your old man has decided before, so what do you say?" Isn't it just a little big? ”

Liu Binghui said: "Xiaohuazi, he, you are called Xiaoda." Ye Xiaoshuai said again and called out obediently: "Xiaoda." ”

The man said, "Yes, yes, and many nephews." ”

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than three months since he arrived in the provincial capital, and there is no integration with Liu Binghui's family, although there have been sporadic exchanges that are not salty or light, and it is only Liu Binghui who introduced the people in the family to Ye Xiaoshuai, and introduced Ye Xiaoshuai to the family, or Liu Binghui himself was not at home due to official business, and the family and Ye Xiaoshuai himself simply said a few words when they had to speak.

Especially Liu Binghui's wife Zhang Ling, she still shows inexplicable hostility towards Ye Xiaoshuai, and Ye Xiaoshuai has not seen her smile since the day Ye Xiaoshuai entered the door.

Ye Xiaoshuai didn't care whether they liked him or not, he always thought in his heart: "Anyway, I'm already here, so let's take your time with the rest." ”

Every morning after getting up, according to Liu Binghui's introduction, everyone he saw would take the initiative to scream, and when he saw Zhang Ling, he called grandma, but Zhang Ling always couldn't hear it.

When I saw Liu Binghui's second daughter-in-law, Zheng Luxia, shouting at her second mother, she would get a response: "Hmm! ”

When he saw Liu Binghui's youngest son Liu Minghua, he shouted Xiaoda, Liu Minghua was warmer, and would respond with three words without any expression: "Little guy." ”

When he saw Liu Binghui's daughter Liu Mingmin, he called out to his sister-in-law, Liu Mingmin is the most gentle and kind one to Ye Xiaoshuai in this family, and every time he smiles and says, "It's not my sister-in-law, it's my eldest sister." ”

However, there is also one who gets along well with Ye Xiaoshuai, that is, Liu Binghui's eldest grandson Liu Yinan, a round head, a white face, a chubby figure, and a smile in his eyes, as if he is smiling all the time, if he really laughs, then his eyes will not be visible, and there are only two small black lines that are thinner and lighter than his eyebrows.

Ye Xiaoshuai likes to make him laugh, looking at the way he laughs, Ye Xiaoshuai seems to be in a little sunny, a little more comfortable, and warmer.

It was a weekend, and no one in the family went to work or went out, so Ye Xiaoshuai took out a copy of "Warring States Policy" given by his teacher and sat on a park chair in the courtyard outside the door to read.

Zhang Ling came back from a walk outside, looking at Ye Xiaoshuai's serious reading, and somehow felt a little familiar in a trance, so she involuntarily walked behind Ye Xiaoshuai, looked at what book Ye Xiaoshuai was reading, looked at it carefully, and was shocked, and asked Ye Xiaoshuai tremblingly: "Who gave you this book?" ”
