Chapter 0006: Something Happened to Dad
Zheng Lei's Jialing motorcycle turned off the town road and got on the small road to Zhengjia Village, the country road is still a small dirt road, more than two meters wide, potholes, the motorcycle swayed left and right, Zheng Lei tried his best to control the balance, Rao is Zheng Lei's skills are good, sitting on it is still shaking badly, fortunately, Yu Wufeng has sat on the bumpy car, this turbulence can still be bearable.
"When you arrive, your house is that house, remember. Hehe. Zheng Lei smiled and pointed to the house under the hillside and said.
"Well, Zheng Lei, let's go, go down into the house and sit down, and drink saliva." Yu Wufeng took the double-strap bag that Zheng Lei untied from the motorcycle, and invited with a smile.
"No, I'll have to go back to work. You go back first. Zheng Lei took out a cigarette, this time he didn't give Yu Wufeng again, he lit it himself, took a deep breath, spit out a puff of smoke rings, turned around and rode a motorcycle.
"Wait, I haven't given you the fare yet. What are you doing in such a hurry? Yu Wufeng put down his bag and went to take out the money in his pocket.
"I was afraid that you didn't want to take my car just now, and I was joking with you, but you took it seriously."
Zheng Lei waved his hand, did not take Yu Wufeng's money, and said with a smile, he bounced the cigarette butt out in a chic manner, the cigarette ash spilled, fell into the pool on the side, and went out with a bang, he launched Jialing 125, turned around and said with a smile, "Come and drink with me when you have time, let's have a good chat." Went first. ”
"Thanks! Zheng Lei! Yu Wufeng didn't insist, he used to be a soldier, he paid attention to neatness, if he pushed around with his old classmates for this little thing, it seemed very twisted, this is not his style.
"You're kind to me. Let's go back. ”
Zheng Lei let go of the clutch hand, a puff of green smoke came out of the exhaust pipe of Jialing 125, he put his feet on the pedals, and the motorcycle slid out, walking away one high and one low on the rural dirt road.
Looking at Zheng Lei's motorcycle, Yu Wufeng showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, after Zheng Lei graduated from junior high school, he went to work in the southern coastal area, and they haven't seen each other for more than ten years, their friendship has not changed, however, Yu Wufeng can see that Zheng Lei's current life is not satisfactory, and he secretly made a decision, and he must find a way to help him in the future.
Yu Wufeng strode onto the country road, and when he was still some distance away from home, he suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on a peasant woman in the orchard, wearing a crude shirt, wearing an old woven rattan hat on her head, and her gray hair was exposed in the torn places, she was picking up under the fruit tree, and the broken branches all over the ground were neatly arranged in one place, and the sun was close to noon, steaming hot, from the gaps in the leaves, shining on the peasant woman's body, and sweat soaked half of her clothes.
"Mom!"
Suddenly, there was a low and powerful shout, and the peasant woman straightened up the figure of the branches, paused slightly, and slowly stood up, because she had bent over for a long time, she looked very tired, and it took a while to stand up straight, and turn around, and the tall and straight figure in the sun, standing there straight, was so familiar.
"Ah, Xiaofeng, you're back." Mom looked unusually happy, her smile bloomed, and she trembled to climb the dirt slope.
"Well, Mom, my son is back." Yu Wufeng jumped down the dirt slope, hugged his mother, and saw his mother's sideburns white, and his heart was slightly sour.
Yu Wufeng walked under the fruit tree, rolled up his sleeves, and started to clean up the broken branches.
"Xiaofeng, let me come." Mom said with a smile.
"Mom, you rest, I can get it right." Yu Wufeng quickly put all the broken branches into the basket, carried them on his back, and then carried the farm tools on his shoulders, carried a double-belt bag in his left hand, and held his mother's arm in his right hand, and went home.
Mother opened the gate of the yard, Yu Wufeng followed in, at this time, a big yellow-haired earth dog tied in the yard barked wildly, grinning at Yu Wufeng, foaming at the stars.
"Rhubarb, I don't know the master's family, don't call it." Mom shouted at the big yellow dog.
When the big yellow dog saw the living person entering the hospital, he ignored the words of the owner, and still stared at Yu Wufeng with a pair of dog eyes.
Yu Wufeng turned his head to look at the eyes of the big earth dog, and said with a full temperament: "Rhubarb, it's me, I don't know it." Obediently, don't make a fuss. ”
When the big yellow dog saw Yu Wufeng's gaze, he snorted twice, lowered his head and turned around in place twice, no longer barking, but wagging his tail at Yu Wufeng, with a pitiful look in his eyes.
"This dog has been fed for two years. Very useful. Mom said with relief.
Mother went to open the door, Yu Wufeng put the farm tools in the corner of the yard, spread the broken branches in the basket in the middle of the yard, and dried them.
The house was newly built on the original foundation five years ago, the exterior wall is pasted with white tiles, the interior walls are made of simple whitewash, the interior of the house is made of simple furniture, the bedrooms are on the second floor, the room left for him is the largest, about 30 square meters, replaced with a new mattress, the blue printed quilt on the bed, is also new, obviously knowing that he is coming back, prepared in advance.
"Xiaofeng, you sit down, Mom will boil some boiling water for you." As she spoke, she went to the eaves and picked up a bundle of firewood and walked towards the stove house.
"Mom, no need, you can take a break." Yu Wufeng stopped his mother and put the firewood into the firewood room, he knew that his mother was going to boil eggs for him to eat, this is the custom of rural people, when he came back from a long home, he wanted to cook a few poached eggs to eat.
"Then, mom washes a few peaches for you to eat, picked them from her own orchard, and I don't use medicine." Mom smiled and went to the table to pick up a few bright peaches.
This time, Yu Wufeng didn't have time to stop him, and let his mother go to the pool to clean, he followed his mother closely and helped him.
"Xiaofeng, you tell Mom, did you make a mistake in the army? The troops don't want you anymore. Mom asked softly as she washed the peaches.
"Mom, no. I didn't make a mistake. Yu Wufeng took the cleaned peaches and put them in the fruit bowl.
"You used to say that the army is strictly controlled, there is no holiday, you can make a phone call or something during the Spring Festival, some time ago, you said that you want to come back, your father and I are worried, you tell your mother the truth, is it in the army to cause trouble, your mother will not tell your father." After washing the last peach, my mother turned around and looked at Yu Wufeng lovingly.
"Mom, I really didn't cause trouble, didn't I tell you, don't think about it, by the way, Mom, Dad?" Yu Wufeng looked around for a moment and said, "Why didn't I see Dad." ”
"I went into the city early in the morning with fruits, and I won't come back until the afternoon, you see I forgot about it, my son is back, and I quickly called him back." Mom dried her hands with an apron and went to the house to find the phone.
Yu Wufeng followed his mother into the house, put the washed peaches on the dining table, and his mother had already found the phone at this time, turned out the phone number, and dialed it, but the phone dialed for a long time, and it was prompted that it could not be connected, and her mother's face looked anxious, and she said worriedly, "The phone can't get through, will your father be okay?" ”
"Mom, don't worry, there may be no signal for the time being." Yu Wufeng comforted.
"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”
"Wang! Woof! Woof! ”
At this moment, there was a roar from the big iron gate of the yard, and the big yellow dog squatting in the corner stood up, pricked up his ears, and shouted and bit at the gate vigilantly.
"Mom, there's a knock on the door, I'll take a look." Yu Wufeng stood up, ran to the gate of the courtyard in a few steps, opened the iron door, saw the person who came, and was slightly surprised, it was Zheng Lei who sent him back.
"Wufeng ......" Zheng Lei put one hand on the door frame, one hand on his waist, gasped for breath, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then looked at Yu Wufeng.
"It's Erlei. Come, come in and sit down. Mom came out with a smile and said.
"What's the matter, running in such a hurry?" Zheng Lei's pale face was hot red, there were beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead, his bare shoulders were covered with dust, and his white shirt was covered with dust, and there were faint traces of blood. ”
"No, just take a break. Aunt Yang. Zheng Lei calmed down, first called Yu Wufeng's mother, looked at Yu Wufeng again, took a breath and said again, "Uncle Yu, Uncle Yu let the car crash, and now he is in the hospital for first aid." ”
"Bang dang."
When my mother heard Zheng Lei say this, her blood surged, she was dizzy, she couldn't stand up suddenly, her body shook, and her body touched the courtyard gate with her hands covering her forehead.
