Chapter 3 Have something to say
Facing Zheng Yi, who was cold and cold, the angry Zheng Heng was timid, until Zheng Yi walked away with a contemptuous mouth, he still stood in place and gasped, and no longer dared to scold a word of "little beast", and his mother, who thought he had high authority, was still in a sluggish state. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Zheng Yi, who returned to the backyard residence, didn't say anything, smiled at Aunt Zheng calmly and entered the living room, and instructed Xu Maofu, who was staring at him blankly, to bring a pot of hot boiling water, and then sat on the cold bamboo chair and put the teacup and tea leaves, and accidentally saw a box of Chinese chess on the lower floor of the coffee table, took it out and looked at it, sighed and silently put the chess back in its place.
Xu Maofu put the kettle on the terrazzo floor next to him, took the initiative to open the tea can, and made tea for Zheng Yi: "You never drank tea before, why did you suddenly like it?" ”
"I want to drink it now, and drinking tea is good for my health." Zheng Yi lifted the steaming teacup and held it in the palm of his hand.
Xu Maofu pointed to the chess on the lower floor of the coffee table: "How about a game?" ”
"Don't you know my level, I haven't played chess since I was in middle school, but you often play chess with your father, so I can't play you with two horses." Zheng Yi immediately shook his head, although he had played chess, he had never worked hard, but had been immersed in Go for many years.
In his previous life, he liked two activities in high school for three years were Go and football, and he never stopped after entering the Central South University of Technology, under the continuous torture of many masters in major universities, his Go level rose steadily, and after graduation, he entered the city's port authority to work, every year he participated in various competitions in the system and locally, and often fought online when he was fine, and the rank obtained on the Internet was relatively high, although he did not receive any certificate, but his Go completely reached the level of amateur four sections.
Xu Maofu smiled rarely, thought about it and suddenly approached Zheng Yi: "Just now I sent the washed clothes into your room, and I saw a pile of walnut shells by the wall, and I remembered what was going on after cleaning it, tell me honestly, when will you be able to crush the walnuts?" ”
"On the fifth day after waking up, after pinching, I found that my hand strength was much stronger than before, and I don't know how it happened."
Zheng Yi replied truthfully, at that time he was just lying bored, took out two walnuts from the small basket on the side to play, while playing and thinking about things, accidentally crushed it, in astonishment, he tried again, and experienced it carefully, and found that he not only had greater strength, but also had his auditory, smelly and other perceptual abilities became very keen.
Xu Maofu quickly brought a hard walnut: "You try again." ”
Zheng Yi stretched out his left hand to take the spade, and easily crushed it with a "snap": "The left hand is the same, I don't know what's going on, it is estimated that it is thanks to practicing boxing with you since childhood, I have thought about it for a while in the past two days, and I feel that I should continue to practice, as long as I have time to practice every day for a while in the future, Wudang's round pile and Taiyi thirteen style are indeed good things." ”
"People are more popular than dead people! You guy didn't practice two and a half years ago, but I was forced to practice hard day and night without stopping, until last year I realized the trick of strength, and after more than four months of non-stop practice to crush walnuts, so far it is not as easy as you, God is unfair! Xu Maofu let out two complaints, and crushed three walnuts in a row to dispel some resentment.
Zheng Yi couldn't help but laugh, and thought about the suggestion: "You have to step up your reading and practice, if it weren't for your poor foundation, I really want to ask your father to allow you to go out with me." ”
Xu Maofu was suddenly anxious: "You really want to leave?" ”
Zheng Yi nodded: "No, no, I have fallen out with Zheng Heng, and announced in front of his family that I would leave this home, fortunately, my mother left more than 500 oceans and a lot of jewelry, I only need 100 oceans is enough, and you can take the rest back, along with the photos left by my mother and two boxes of ancient books and lyrics, go back to the countryside of Huangzhou to buy some fields to settle down, and when I become a person, I will go to Huangzhou to find you." ”
"This can't be done, how can you be reassured that you are alone? Don't talk about me, my father and my mother are even more worried, I don't believe you tell them to go. Xu Maofu's heart was in turmoil, and the loss and troubles that he had never experienced instantly came to his heart.
Zheng Yi looked at the good brother with a black face and stopped talking, he knew that it was useless to say anything now, he could only wait for the family to gather in the evening, even if Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu couldn't accept it for a while, Zheng Yi was confident to convince them, not to mention that he had deeply offended the Zheng family and the eldest lady of the main house with a transcendent status, basically he was cut off from the back road, and he couldn't stay if he wanted to.
After dinner, Zheng Yi, who was apprehensive, finally explained his decision and the way back to himself.
To Zheng Yi's deep comfort and admiration, Uncle Xu quickly calmed down after a short period of consternation, and smoked two buckets of tobacco in a row before letting out a long sigh:
"Actually, your aunt and I both know that this day will come sooner or later, if it weren't for the Zheng family's injustice to you, our family would have left three years ago, but seeing the Zheng family treat you like this, we don't feel at ease!"
"Originally, we thought that it would take at least a year or two for you to open your mind, and then we will be worthy of your mother if we leave, but I didn't expect you to suddenly become sensible after the disaster, which is also a good thing!"
"It's just that we really don't worry about you going out alone, you better go back to Huangzhou with us, and we can rest assured that you can go wherever you want to go in two years."
Zheng Yi could no longer suppress the gratitude that filled his chest and abdomen, left the bamboo chair, came to Uncle Xu and knelt down with a "bang", hugged the legs of Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu and shouted Dad and Mother, and then cried bitterly.
Xu Bo suddenly burst into tears, covering his wrinkled face and twitching, Aunt Xu took Zheng Yi's head into her arms and cried out loudly: "Evil, evil...... My son, God he doesn't have long eyes......."
After venting to his heart's content, Xu Maofu wiped away his tears and helped Zheng Yi up under his father's instructions, and shouted the word "eldest brother" for the first time in a dumb voice: "Big brother, don't be sad, as long as people live, there is no hurdle that cannot be passed, sit down first, sit down and then talk." ”
Zheng Yi suppressed his galloping emotions and honestly stated his plans: "Dad, mother, Xiaofu, this decision was a bit sudden, but this family has never been able to tolerate me, so it is better to take the opportunity of this injury to leave." ”
"It's better to leave late than early, and now my son can't hide it from you, I will rush to Shanghai to take the examination of the Whampoa Military Academy, and then take a boat to Guangzhou to take the re-examination, and strive to enroll as soon as possible, this military school is the most promising school in China today, as long as you arrive at the school, you don't have to spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation."
"Where did you know about this Whampoa Military Academy? Who runs this military school? Xu Bo asked in surprise.
Zheng Yi immediately went to his house and took the book of "New Youth", turned to the page of the enrollment advertisement and sent it to Xu Bo:
"Here...... The revolutionary party led by Mr. Sun Yat-sen was founded and received strong support from the Communist Party and Soviet Russia, and despite the fact that it is still very weak now, it will soon develop and grow, and I firmly believe that it will be these two political parties that will eventually unify China, so this military academy has a very promising future. ”
Xu Bo looked at it carefully, asked a few questions in a row with great anxiety, and finally pointed to a line below the enrollment advertisement and asked again:
"Isn't this application address our Wuhan Concession? You see, the above states that you need to go through the preliminary examination before you can go to Guangzhou to participate in the second examination, why do you have to go to Shanghai at the expense of the near and far? It's not safe!"
Zheng Yi patiently explained: "The enrollment address in Wuhan is very close to my cheap dad's company, and I am worried that the person in charge of enrollment knows my cheap dad, and I have heard that Mr. Runzhi, the admissions director of Shanghai Huanlong Road, is very remarkable, and he is also the most respectable person in my mind, so I plan to go directly to Shanghai to take the preliminary examination." ”
Xu Bo pondered for a long time, and asked extremely reluctantly: "Child, can't you wait another two years?" ”
"Son, my mother can't bear you......" Aunt Xu picked up the corner of her clothes again, covered her face and cried bitterly.
Zheng Yi held back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes: "Dad, mother, my son is eighteen years old......"
Uncle Xu quickly wiped away his tears and patted his wife's shoulder: "Don't be sad, the child has grown up and is sensible, it's time to go out and break through, I think you and the Wu family girl were not even fourteen years old when they went out, didn't you survive it?" Alas...... Xiao Yi, you tell me honestly, are you really sure? ”
Zheng Yi nodded heavily: "I'm really sure, as long as the child goes to the test, he will definitely be able to pass the test!" I know you're worried about my body, but the injury isn't as serious as you think, and when I woke up this morning, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore, my appetite is better than before, and I can even crush walnuts. ”
Xu Maofu saw the doubts on his father's face, and hurriedly went to the long table by the wall to bring a handful of walnuts and handed it to Zheng Yi: "Big brother is telling the truth, I don't believe you can take a look." ”
Zheng Yi was not pretentious, and crushed three walnuts in a row in front of the whole family, Xu Bo was overjoyed and nodded again and again:
"Good, good! In this way, I will relax, remember to pick up the stump and boxing road again, stick to it without interruption, as long as I practice hard for three or five years, maybe I can enter the hall, remember, remember! ”
"Remember, child!" Zheng Yi immediately made a commitment.
The family talked for a while, and Aunt Xu, who was tired of crying, couldn't help but go to sleep first, and Uncle Xu's father and son and Zheng Yi discussed the matter of leaving soon, until it was about to dawn before they reluctantly parted ways to rest.
The sky was bright and the sun was shining, Aunt Xu had already prepared a hearty breakfast, Zheng Yi, who had only slept for three hours, finished washing, finished breakfast, and immediately packed up his pitiful luggage, together with the two small boxes of ancient books and lyrics left by his mother, into two large rattan boxes, and finally packed up a few sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes and socks that he needed to take away.
After packing up, Zheng Yi sent the small suitcase containing jewelry, soft and four hundred oceans to Uncle Xu's house, and before he could persuade Uncle Xu, who was trying his best to refuse, he heard a series of dense footsteps, Zheng Yi and Uncle Xu didn't need to look to know who the person who hurriedly broke in.
Uncle Xu nervously grabbed Zheng Yi's arm and told in a deep voice: "Don't be stunned, no matter what he says, he is your own father, although he is sorry for you, he has also raised you for eighteen years, understand?" If you have something to say, there is no hurdle that you can't get over. ”
Zheng Yi nodded, carefully arranged his placket and collar, took a deep breath, and strode out of the door.
