Chapter 176: Childhood Wishes
Smiling and talking, the corners of Du Minjun's eyes and eyebrows hung with a relief that Rose had never seen in three years. He couldn't wait to put the big box on his shoulder on the ground, opened it, took out a lot of dried goods such as bacon and sausages with exquisite workmanship and materials, and distributed them to the uncles and aunts around him......
"Uncle Bill, it's really exciting to see you alive, take it, this is for you old drunkard......" Du Minjun saw a middle-aged man on crutches coming over through the cracks, stunned, and then shouted in surprise.
"You can't die of this little grass that no one wants, of course Uncle Bill wants to live, and I still wait for the little hairy man back then to fulfill the promise he made to me?" With a light smile, Uncle Bill limped to Du Minjun's side, looked up and down for a while, and then punched Du Minjun's chest hard, Lang smiled and turned to the circle of people and said, "You have to be a witness, this little guy said that he wanted to provide for old Bill...... Hehe, who said that I don't have a son, lo and behold, this is old Bill's biological son......"
As he spoke, there was a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth, but tears involuntarily slipped down his lips, and old Bill stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked it, not bitter, full of the taste of happiness, which he had only inadvertently dug into the nest of a wild bee when he was young, and felt it on the somewhat sticky liquid......
Hugging Old Bill's shoulders hard, Du Minjun smiled and said to the uncle and aunt he knew well: "Yes, I said it, and I haven't changed my original mind until now, he, Old Bill will be my father from now on...... And you guys. If I don't dislike Xiaodu, they are all my relatives......" His eyes were a little wet, but Du Minjun felt that he should laugh at this moment, because he had someone to worry about besides the rose......
"Come here, ...... the little maotou door" Du Minjun waved his hand at some of the children who were hiding outside the circle, and opened the smaller box, which was full of blue star coins. When Du Minjun stuffed a large number of star coins mixed with a few delicate candies to the children, the cheers of the children swept away the depression shrouded in the asteroid of "Fengdu", and the smiling faces seemed to dye half of the sky of "Fengdu" red!
The children blushed and were happy to get candy that they had never seen before, and the adults. One is uneasy because of an unexpected gain, and the other is shy because there is nothing in return......
Du Minjun's hand was very accurate, and each child was given twenty blue star coins and the same number of star coins as it, not that Du Minjun was stingy, but that all the business of this "Fengdu" was controlled by the leaders of the "Trident" office. Twenty orange and yellow star coins are not a big number for Du Minjun, but if they are placed on the "Fengdu" asteroid, some people will have red eyes because of this small profit. He wanted to give the villagers and elders an emergency heart, not to attract hungry wolves for them to smell "blood......
The character of the "Fengdu" people is kind and not pretentious, and when they think that they are all children who have grown up, they are relieved to accept the gift of their "own" children. Like a hero, surrounded by a group of villagers, Do Minjun went door to door for a while, and in the sound of shouting and greetings, Du Minjun distributed the two boxes of gifts he brought......
Of course, the people of "Fengdu" are not misers. After receiving Du Minjun's gift and people's hearts were shy, several older people got together for a little discussion, and decided to set up a table for the two of them, of course, the people here who were short of material resources and knew Du Minjun were poor jingle low-class people. Drinks and food are not much better......
The owner brought an old hen that laid eggs, and the west family slaughtered the piglet that was kept to pay the child's tuition. The old grandmother in the front yard really couldn't get anything, and when she was in a hurry, she slapped her head and remembered that when her granddaughter was born, she buried a jar of daughter red under the old locust tree, thinking of her granddaughter who had not grown up, the old grandmother looked at Du Minjun and sighed, if she was alive, she should be about the same age as Xiaodu, sighed for a while, the old grandmother wiped her eyes and dug out the wine jar under the old locust tree slightly......
The dish is said to be the most primitive type that Rose has ever eaten, and there is no cumbersome frying and frying. In addition to stewing and boiling, Rose still has a lot of fun. The wine is very mellow, and it is a daughter red that has been cellared for more than ten years, but it doesn't seem to be a good wine compared to the fine wine that Rose has drunk. However, after a few cups of Rose's stomach, her face turned a little red, and a slightly drunken feeling surged into Rose's heart. Isn't alcohol intoxicating? Drunk Rose is this harmonious love......
It is inevitable that the hearts of young people who have wine and food and have passed three rounds of wine will be noisy, and song and dance seem to replace wine and food as the protagonists. There was no modern sound equipment, and there was no very professional band accompaniment, just stepping out of the rhythm with her feet and beating the beat with her hands, but this youthful enthusiasm still infected Rose, and she staggered to her feet, blended into the crowd, and sang and shouted to her heart's content......
Rose can't seem to remember when she was so happy as she is today, maybe it's been a long time, right? Mom's death was an alternative to her childhood; It seems to have been happy, but the happiness in the memory seems to be short-lived to be fleeting, and the night came quietly, and really left quietly, and he took away her flowers......
Maybe a few drinks from the bar? In short, Rose felt that she was so excited that dancing alone could no longer exert her pleasure, so several young people of the same age as Do Minjun were unlucky, and a wrestling that was unfair at the beginning ended with those unlucky eggs being thrown into the dirty ditch by Rose!
However, the "Fengdu" people are as graceful and open-minded as their name, without complaining or rejecting, just for Rose's courage and ability, winning the worship of another group of young people, and the nods and praises of the elders. Perhaps at this moment, the well-dressed, hot, and beautiful Rose really integrated into the small circle of "Fengdu" people......
Tired of dancing and making enough trouble, Rose sat on the ground without an image like all the young people of "Fengdu", panting heavily, sweeping the elders chatting around the table, and then looked at the paralyzed young generation of "Fengdu" around her. Rose frowned, why are there many old people or real adults here, but there are only a few young people? Could it be that the "family planning" here is well grasped? Hey, male ligature female with rings? Thinking about it, Rose laughed evilly.
Until midnight. Twenty blue star coins are not much, but they are enough to maintain a family for a few months, to put it mildly, twenty star coins in this "Fengdu" can be a single young man to say a wife, but also enough for the girls to embark on the road of marriage with dignity.
After drinking a little too much, Rose was almost carried back to his small house by Do Minjun, and Rose slept in a groggy state, perhaps because the self-brewed local wine was a little low. In an hour, Rose rubbed her somewhat sore head and got up. With a dry mouth, Rose rubbed her eyes and looked around. Found a bottle of white water on the bedside table, "goo-goo-goo" a few mouthfuls of it into her stomach, rose stretched her waist, and her drunken and somewhat sluggish spirit seemed to be sobered up a lot.
Raised an eyebrow. Rose smirked at the empty bottle in her hand. She has become somewhat accustomed to and relies on what can be said to be the meticulous little Dudu, in case ...... Forget it, it's a big deal to go to Xiao Dudu's house to make a bunk, Rose stroked her long hair that was a little scattered, shook her head, and she didn't want to think about such a headache......
Rose looked curiously at the "home" that belonged to Do Minjun, a small one, with only one bedroom and a small kitchen with an earthen stove, and when the window was opened, there was a small shed that had collapsed on half of its side, and a small open space overgrown with wild grass. I looked around. Rose frowned, because she didn't notice Do Minjun's shadow, and her heart tightened slightly. She can feel the malice of the people in the "Trident" office towards Do Minjun, and she is a girl with nine tricks, she can faintly imagine the collusion between the "Trident" and the "Javelin......
Reaching into his chest, he pulled out the "angry bull", pressed the energy clip, loaded, and rose tiptoed out of Do Minjun's small house. "Click......" There was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground from the small half-collapsed shed. Rose twisted a hundred and eighty degrees on her toes, and with a sharp acceleration slammed open the hidden door of the small shed and rushed in.
The barrel of the "Angry Bull" stopped the figure's head, and the moment her fingers tapped, Rose spun the pistol in her palm and inserted it back into the holster hidden in her chest. With his hand raised and knocked on the figure's head, Rose said angrily: "Little Dudu, what are you doing here without sleeping in the middle of the night?" Hee-hee...... The little guy won't be the one who drank too much and pulled the place where he was being drunk...... It's the ...... that the 'five girls' did," said Rose, snorting at Du Minjun, with a knowing look on her face.
Du Minjun just touched his head and smiled, pointed to a large pile of scattered metal parts in front of him and said: "I want to fulfill my childhood dream, these I want to assemble a set of one-man engineering mecha for my father, but it's a pity that ......" shook his head, and a wry smile hung on the corner of Du Minjun's mouth: "Do you know that these parts are taken?" Yes, the eldest sister is smart, it was stolen from the machinery of the 'Trident' office, and the eldest sister asked me how the big scar on my back came about, because they ......"
Du Minjun pointed to the pile of scattered parts and said with a smile: "Maybe I stole a lot, that group of damn guys actually raised more than a dozen wolf dogs, and the injuries were bitten by them, if it weren't for Uncle Bill sacrificing his life to save him, it is estimated that ...... Bill, he's a nice guy! Do Minjun said, squatting on the ground again, carefully fiddling with the pile of parts.
The parts are a little old, and some places have been corroded away, and it has become an impossible luxury to put them together, but Do Minjun is still happy to put them together, and his eyes are full of piety, stubborn and serious.
Shaking her head, Rose patted Du Minjun's back and said with a smile: "Little Dudu, you should know that this can't and is not enough to assemble a mecha, so why waste your efforts?" Anything will be better when you get a good night's sleep and wake up, and of course - and how you miss someone! ”
Du Minjun, who was putting a "universal joint" into a bearing, threw the parts in his hand on the ground with some dejection after listening to Rose's words, turned around and looked at Rose weakly and said: "Big sister, I don't really want to make a moving mecha, I'm just reminiscing, reminiscing about my childhood dreams, at that time, it was like a demon, every day, every month, or even a whole year, my heart was full of a mecha for my father to live...... Big sister, isn't this a little stupid? ”
Rose was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said seriously, "What's so stupid about this? Do you know what the eldest sister was doing when she was your age? Cluck...... Say it and laugh to death, the eldest sister fantasizes about going to Earth every day, do you know why? Because I read a book that says that there is Penglai outside the East China Sea, and there is an elixir that can resurrect the dead......"
As she spoke, Rose's eyes dimmed slightly, and then burst into more brilliant colors, and it was clear that she was just like Do Minjun, and she had not forgotten her childhood dream......
Du Minjun pursed his lips, looking at Rose was silent for a while, he could feel Rose's heartache and expectation, his lips moved as if he wanted to comfort Rose a few words, but he was not a good speaker, glanced at Rose, Du Minjun moved his gaze back to the pile of parts scattered on the ground, and at the same time clenched his fist, a smile crossed the corner of his lips, she will follow wherever she goes, even if she knows that there is an eighteen layers of hell in front of her!
"Big sister, you are lucky...... At least ......" Speaking of this, Du Minjun snorted, and a trace of blood flashed in the depths of his eyes that made Rose feel palpitations, and there was resentment and hatred deep in the bone marrow: "I saw my father with my own eyes...... And the mother was burned to death by the lava little by little, and I could hear their miserable wails when I saw their painful expressions...... There was only a small cloud of charred ash left in his mouth that didn't mean anything......"
Speaking seems to be more pleasant and comfortable than pressing it in his heart, Do Minjun picked up the bearing and universal joint, and carefully assembled it, while his indifferent voice came into Rose's ears: "That's why I'm trying so hard to improve myself, I'm going to climb up, climb enough to smash the 'Trident', climb enough to make my own rules, you know, it's a little hard, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it......" (To be continued......)
