Out of the winery, Feng Lao suggested that there be a barbecue party by the beach at night, and everyone naturally readily agreed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just as everyone was discussing what ingredients to buy in the city center, Li Le put his arm around his father's shoulders, slowly walked to the end of the crowd, and asked softly.

"Dad, what's wrong? How today... Isn't it... Happy ......"

"In my imagination ~ there is a pair of skateboarding shoes ~ different and the most fashionable ~ dancing must be great ~"

"Haha, Dad, why are you still picking up the song?" Li Le chuckled.

"A few days ago, I was airsick on a plane, and I fell asleep listening to this song, and now my mind is full of this kind of melody." Lieberd shook his head.

"Tell me, do you have something on your mind, I see that you have been depressed since you went to the island." Li Le continued to ask.

"Alas~ Lele, I miss your uncle." Li Bird looked a little sad, "Why don't you accompany me to meet him?" ”

"No problem." Saying that, Li Le asked Adam and Da Ge to accompany the two old friends to prepare the ingredients for the evening, and asked Feng Lao to accompany his father and himself to an office of Li Bofu in the city center.

"This office is where Bofu has been working for many years, and I have packed up all his relics and put them in it, and I will send someone to clean them carefully every day and put incense on time." Li Bofu said as he opened the door of a small house in the center of the city.

"Old Feng, thank you for your hard work." Leebert thanked.

"It should be, it should be." Feng Lao nodded.

When Li Le walked into the office, the first thing that caught his eye was the two huge national flags hanging on the wall, the five-star red flag of the motherland on the left and the Cuban flag on the right. Above the national flag is a wooden table with a photograph of Bofu and an enshrined fruit, and an incense burner next to the fruit, which contains three lit incense sticks. Next to the wooden table are two large cardboard boxes, which contain Berford's urns and relics.

Lee's mood was a little heavy, he looked around at the empty office, walked towards the large cardboard box, and when he opened it, in addition to various clothes, there were several photos of Bofu and the islanders.

"Bofu's life is very simple, he bought these clothes from the stall, and the suit was given by a business friend, and he has basically not changed it for more than ten years." Berford said softly.

"Alas~" Li Bode sighed softly, "I'm afraid of poverty~ Lele, do you know how bitter your uncle and I were when we were young." ”

"Say it~" In fact, these hardships when I was a child, my father Li Bird told Li Le a lot, but now that my father is worried, Li Le is naturally willing to be a good listener.

"At that time, our country was underdeveloped, all walks of life were still starting, your grandfather was a miner, and his monthly salary was only a few dozen yuan, and your grandmother had to go up the mountain to chop firewood to subsidize the family, and it was not easy to pull me and your uncle up, and some families even had seven or eight children, and it was even harder." The memories of his poor childhood kept coming back to Lieberd's mind, and now when he thinks about it, he is still miserable.

"Lele, you know the oil residue, right?" Lieberd asked with a sudden turn.

"The taste is okay, it's just too oily, and it's easy to gain weight." Li Le said.

"Alas~ It's too oily, your generation is really happy." Li Bode said again, "We really wanted nothing in that era, one year on Chinese New Year's Eve, your grandmother bought a small bowl of oil residue and came back, and your uncle and I ate several sweet potatoes with a few pieces of oil residue, and the bowls were licked clean by me, during which I also deliberately hid three pieces in my sleeve, hid and secretly ate a small bite every day, until the Lantern Festival, I took the last small bite in my mouth, and I was reluctant to swallow it after an afternoon." Leebert recalled the delicacy and exclaimed, "It's so delicious." ”

"Alas, Feng Lao, who wrote these letters to Bofu?" Looking at the stacks of letters in the wooden box, Li Bode asked Feng Lao.

"Oh, it's all written to Berford by some of the sponsored students." Feng Lao explained.

"Sponsored students?" This was the first time Lieber knew about this.

"yes, about three hundred." Feng Lao added.

"Alas~" Li Bode sighed again, and said heavily, "I was poor back then~ The family can only provide one person to go to school, my eldest brother gave me this opportunity, he dropped out of school in the second year of junior high school, and followed the adults in the village to work outside, and once he came back once a year and a half, he would bring me some sugar." Li Bird said and turned to Li Le and said, "Lele, the toffee and apples I ate for the first time were brought to me by your uncle from outside, and the taste is really beautiful." ”

"Hmm." Li Le nodded solemnly.

"Huh? Old Feng, my brother still likes to smoke cigars? Lieberd opened the small wooden box in the box and found a neat row of cigars inside.

"He smokes less, and he usually takes a few puffs when he has a headache." Feng Lao said.

"My brother still has a headache?" Li Bird was surprised that he had never mentioned the hardships he had suffered outside over the years, and whenever he asked his eldest brother, he replied with two words: "Pretty good, pretty good." ”

"A little, the rainy season is more serious, and I didn't find anything in the capital hospital, so I persuaded him to go to the United States to have a look, but he was too expensive and didn't want to go, and then he never mentioned it to me again."

Li Bird stood up, his eyes were already filled with tears, and he said sadly, "You, that's it, other people's business, how small it is, how small it is, your own business, how big it is, it's all good." ”

"Alas~~~" Li Bird was sad, sighed deeply, slowed down, and sobbed, "You, play by yourself first, and when I get old, I'll come down to accompany you, okay~brother~"

Li Bode said the last word "brother", two tears fell, wiped his cheeks, sighed, slowed down, and said, "Lele, give your uncle a cigarette." ”

"Okay." Li Le complied, took out a cigar from the box, used a cigar cutter to remove the round ends at both ends, lit it with a match, took a few small puffs, and inserted the cigar nozzle into the incense burner.

After a while, a faint fragrance of pine wood and leather gradually permeated Li Le's surroundings, the cigar smoke just entered Li Le's mouth, there is a kind of coffee and cocoa bean plant soft bitterness, after a while, a unique sweetness is spread in Li Le's mouth, this sweetness is not the sweetness of sugarcane, more like a kind of honey and cream mixed, a mellow aftertaste, that is, not greasy, not tiresome, a very natural and comfortable and leisurely.

"Brother~ I'll leave with Lele first~ I'll come to see you in a few days, and I'll take you back to China when the time comes~" Li Bode finished speaking softly, waved his hand towards the photo, turned around and walked out the door.

Feng Lao and Li Le walked out of the office with Li Bird, and after closing the office door, Feng Lao stood beside Li Bird, "Bird, Bird said two words to me when he was dying. ”

"What two words?" Li Bode had just lit a cigarette, and before he had time to take a puff, he asked Feng Lao.

"Go home."

Listening to Feng Lao's answer, Li Bird smiled with satisfaction, and took a deep puff of cigarette, in the past few days, it was a plane and a play, and his wife Liu Hui followed him every step of the way, but Li Bird was suffocated, and now this cigarette is inhaled freely, and the thoughts in Li Bird's heart are finally a lot.

"Whew~" Li Bode spit out the cigarette for a long time, his heavy mood eased a lot, turned around, smiled at Feng Lao on the side and said:

"I knew it."
