Chapter 520: The Reborn Shi Stonelei [2]

Less than three minutes after Shi Donglei got on the bus, the bus to Sanhe County departed, and more than 40 minutes later, he got off at the Xinglong Town station, and his home was in Wujiazitun under the jurisdiction of Xinglong Town. [No pop-up novel network]

There are a lot of jeeps and cars next to the station, all of which are engaged in the business of carrying passengers. As soon as Shi Stonelei got out of the car, he surrounded many people, but he didn't take a taxi, but walked to the town with his backpack and suitcase.

Xinglong Town was originally Xinglong Township, but it just became a town the year before last. Although the name has changed, the depression and tatters in this town are not much better than when Stonelei came back for the New Year the year before. Even, it didn't look much better than when he went to Lingcheng to study secondary school, but there were just more shops and houses.

The streets are still in tatters, full of garbage and ice skates. It's still early, most of the shops are not open, and there are very few pedestrians on the streets.

On a normal day, you can see a lot of students. But now that it has entered the lunar month, the students have already taken their winter vacation, and Xinglong Town, which was not very prosperous, has become more and more lonely.

The wheels of the trolley case collided with the ground rubbing against each other, making a constant noise. On this quiet early morning, it seemed a little harsh

Stoneley pulled the box quickly, afraid of alarming some of the people he knew. He doesn't like to give people the feeling of seeing himself in strange eyes, especially because he is not dressed well now, and he is a little shy in his pocket, and he is even more afraid of meeting familiar people.

Such a state of mind, even if Shi Stonelei is reborn, there is no way to completely change it. He is such a person, with a very strong sense of self-esteem and a lot of vanity, he is just an ordinary person, except for the fact that he is born again

The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. Even if Stonelei is reborn a hundred times, he will not become someone else, he is just himself, the difference is only life experience and experience.

Probably God heard Shi Donglei's heart, until he walked out of Xinglong Town, stepped outside the town through Taipingtun, and did not meet any acquaintances on the rural dirt road leading to Wujiazitun.

From Xinglong Town to Wujiazitun, the whole journey is eight miles, Taipingtun is in the middle of Xinglong Town and Wujiazitun, Shi Donglei's primary school, in the south of Taipingtun Linjiacun Primary School, Taipingtun has a lot of his classmates.

After walking for more than 20 minutes, I have arrived at Taipingtun. When I walked to the west entrance of Tunzi, the courtyard door of the first house in the north of the road opened, and a girl was wearing simple clothes, wearing broken gloves and holding a wicker basket, which seemed to be holding firewood.

The girl and Shi Stonelei came face to face, their eyes met, and they were both stunned. Shi Stonelei's heart jumped violently, this delicate and tall girl was his classmate, Cui Anran.

Cui Anran and Shi Donglei are not only classmates and tablemates in the sixth year of primary school, but also classmates in the third year of middle school and tablemates for two years. Shi Donglei has always liked Cui Anran, and when he was in junior high school, he couldn't help but write her a love letter, but in the end, the love letter was burned and thrown into the toilet.

"You-Stoneley?"

"Cui Anran, it's me"

Both of them are a little unnatural, especially Cui Anran, her beautiful face is very red, she has such an image to Shi Donglei, it is really difficult to be natural, she does not have such a good psychological quality

"Shi Stonelei, aren't you working in Beijing?" Cui Anran swept his hair and asked shyly. She quietly tugged at her pants, which her mother had to put on, for fear that she would freeze, and the fat pants made her look stupid.

Shi Stonelei looked at her cramped appearance, but quickly regained his calm and composure. He nodded: "Well, I used to work in Beijing, but now I'm back."

"Coming back?" Cui Anran looked at Shi Donglei with some doubts, not quite understanding what he meant. Stonelei smiled and said, "No, I plan to look for a job here at home in the future." My parents are not young, their health is not good, my sister is still young, she is going to school, I can take care of them when I come back, and I don't delay making money, it's good, there is no need to run around outside. ”

Shi Stonelei paused for a moment, and then said: "Cui Anran, I heard that you were admitted to Tongji University, congratulations on your graduation, right?" ”

Cui Anran nodded: "Well, I will graduate during the Chinese New Year." Shi Stonelei, it's cold outside, if you don't dislike it, just go into the house and sit" She subconsciously looked at her three small earthen houses, and a touch of melancholy flashed in her eyes.

Shi Donglei keenly caught the change in Cui Anran's expression, he shook his head and said, "No, next time." Shi Donglei had already taken off his backpack, took out a bag of roast duck from it, and said: "Cui Anran, this is the Quanjude roast duck I brought back from Beijing, I haven't seen you for many years, and I didn't expect to meet you, so you can take this back and eat it with your family."

"No, no, I don't want Shi Stonelei, I don't want it, you better take it back and give it to your family to eat" Cui Anran pushed away the roast duck handed over by Shi Stonelei, and his face, which had just returned to its normal color, became delicate again,

Shi Donglei pushed the roast duck into Cui Anran's arms, pulled the box and ran away, he said as he ran: "Cui Anran, I'll go first, I have time to go over and play"

Cui Anran threw the firewood basket, ran after Shi Donglei, and kept shouting: "Shi Donglei, Shi Donglei, you ......" Shi Donglei ran too fast, she couldn't catch up at all, and after running not far, she stopped panting, looking at Shi Stonelei's back, and lost her mind for a while.

Cui Anran still clearly remembers what Stonelei looked like when he was in elementary school and middle school, and he even remembered how he looked when the two met in Xinglong Town five years ago.

The white and lovely little boy at the beginning, the quiet young man who was delicate and white, the tall and handsome young man, and now, Shi Donglei has become a tall and mature man

As soon as he thought of the word man, Cui Anran smiled with satisfaction, that's right, Shi Donglei now has a temperament that he absolutely didn't have before, and he looks like a man, not the boy who looked like a young man five years ago.

But when he thought about the word man, Cui Anran's fair and beautiful face suddenly turned red. Taking a deep look at Stonelei, who had already walked away, she took the roast duck and turned around and walked back.

Cui Anran just walked to the gate of the courtyard of her house, the courtyard door opened, and her mother walked out of the courtyard, looked at her with a smile, and said, "Girl, who is that young man?" Is this what he gave you? ”

Cui Anran knew that her mother had misunderstood again, and as she grew older, now as soon as her mother saw her in contact with the opposite sex, she immediately thought about it, and she really wished that she would bring a partner back immediately.

"Well, it was given by my classmate Shi Donglei, Peking duck" Cui Anran handed the roast duck to her mother, their family has never eaten this kind of thing, when she was in school, she had heard it many times, and they all said that Peking duck was delicious, especially Quanjude's roast duck.

Cui Anran took a look at the packaging of the roast duck and found that this bag of roast duck was Quanjude's roast duck, she also saw the price tag on the mouth of the roast duck bag, and was very surprised, this roast duck turned out to be 138 yuan, no wonder she felt so heavy, it was estimated that there would be at least two or three catties

"Stonelei? Ah, isn't it the kid of Xitun Shi Jianjun's family? Cui's mother looked at it for a long time, but she didn't understand the words on the bag, and asked, "What kind of duck is this?" This guy is quite heavy, at least three or four pounds, a lot of money, right? ”

"Well, it's Shi Jianjun's son, this is Beijing Quanjude roast duck, look at this label, one hundred and thirty-eight yuan" Cui Anran pointed to the label on the bag, Cui's mother glanced at it, and said in surprise: "My mother, it's really expensive, what kind of duck is this, is it a golden duck?" ”

Cui Anran was about to explain why this duck was so expensive, but Cui's mother suddenly laughed again, looked up at her and said, "Girl, people give you such an expensive thing, it seems that it is interesting to you, I heard that the kid from the Lao Lin family works in Beijing and earns tens of thousands of dollars a month." Girl, you're not young, I think that kid just now looks very good, and he earns a lot, so I'll go back and ask someone to ......."

Before Cui's mother could finish speaking, Cui Anran stomped her feet and said, "Okay, Mom, why are you here again, didn't I say it all, I don't want to think about it now." If you want me to spend the New Year at home, don't talk about it anymore, or I'll go back to school tomorrow."

Cui's mother hurriedly waved her hand: "Okay, okay, can't I say it if I don't say it?" Hey, you kid, you're just disobedient."

Cui Anran picked up the basket and went to the firewood stack to pick up the peanut stalk with two teeth, Cui's mother looked at her baby daughter, sighed, and turned around with the roast duck into the yard.

Cui Anran chattered about Chai He and sighed. In fact, she also understands that her mother and father are anxious about her life's events, and she understands their feelings. However, she really doesn't have the heart to think about these now, what she wants most now is to find a good job after graduating next year, to reduce the burden on her family earlier, and to pay off the famine she owes in all these years of studying.

Thinking of his object, Cui Anran frowned. In fact, with her external conditions, from high school to college, there has always been no shortage of people who pursue them, and many people's conditions are very good, but she feels that she has not yet considered these things, so she has not paid attention to those people.

At the beginning, Cui Anran rejected Shi Stonelei, also for this reason. In fact, she didn't hate Stonelei, on the contrary, she always had a good impression of him

Cui Anran's face turned red again, and there were ripples in Qiushui's bright eyes, and they gradually became foggy.

When Cui Anran was in a daze facing the firewood stack, Shi Donglei had already walked up to a high earthen hill, and standing in this place, he had already seen Wujiazitun that he had not returned to for two years.

Shi Stonelei breathed hard in the fresh and cold air of the countryside, straightened his waist, and accelerated his pace to run into the tunzi.

More than ten minutes later, when the golden morning sun illuminated the earth, Shi Donglei had already come to the gate of his own courtyard, just when the little sister Shi Yu came out with a handful of ashes to pour ashes, as soon as she saw him, she was immediately stunned, and thought she was dazzled

"Brother, it's really you, brother" The little girl stretched out her hand to Shi Stonelei and touched the top of her head, only to wake up like a dream and scream, throwing ashes, regardless of the ashes scattered all over the stove pit, hugged Stonelei's waist and began to cry.

Shi Stonelei gently patted his sister's back, his nose was sour, this little sister is only twelve this year, and she is a whole round younger than him. Although he is the adopted son picked up by his parents, Shi Yu is the biological daughter of his parents, and they are not related by blood, but the relationship between the brother and sister is better than that of most brothers and sisters

In his previous life, Shi Donglei was most at ease before committing suicide, Shi Yu's younger sister and elderly adoptive parents. Now that he sees his little sister again, he can be said to have mixed feelings in his heart, and he can't tell what it feels like.

The brother and sister hugged the gate of the courtyard for a while, and then entered the courtyard together. Shi Yu was very happy, holding Shi Stonelei's hand and chattering non-stop, talking about things at home.

When Shi Donglei and Shi Yu walked into the earthen house together, Zhang Xiufang, who was cooking on the fire, was stunned for a moment, her expression was exactly the same as when Shi Yu saw Shi Donglei at the gate of the courtyard just now.

"Mom, I'm back," Stonelei said with a smile, his voice trembling a little.

"Mom, it's really my brother, he's back" Shi Yu shouted loudly, ran over and pulled up his mother, Zhang Xiufang's legs were squatting for too long, and she was a little numb, if it wasn't for Shi Yu's support, she would have to sit on the ground.

"Little Lei, son, why are you back? Don't you say you're spending the New Year over there? Zhang Xiufang took Shi Donglei's hand and asked in a trembling voice. Her eyes were already full of tears, her lips were trembling, she hadn't seen her baby son for two years, and when she saw a tall young man walking on the street, she would think it was Stonelei, and she was about to think about her son going crazy

The long-awaited son finally came back, and Zhang Xiufang's excitement was indescribable. But she was a little worried: Didn't her son say that he was very busy with work this year and wouldn't come back? Why did you suddenly come back again? Is something wrong?

Shi Stonelei wiped the tears from his mother's face with the palm of his hand, and said with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine." I have quit my job in Beijing, and if I don't go in the future, I will find a job in Songjiang. ”

"How's that going to work? You're ...... in Beijing."

Before Zhang Xiufang's words were finished, Shi Donglei shook his head with a smile and said, "Mom, why can't you do it?" No matter how good Beijing is, there is no good home...... Mom, now that you and my dad are not in good health, Xiaoyu still has to go to school, I can take care of you when I come back, and I won't delay my work to earn money, and I can feel more peaceful. That's good, it's much better than in Beijing."

Zhang Xiufang knows that her son doesn't look like a big girl, but he has always spoken consistently, in her husband's words, he has a certain old pig's waist, and his idea is right

From childhood to adulthood, Stonelei has nothing to do that he can't do, and it's not easy for anyone to stand in his way. It's not that he is disobedient or disobedient, there is no child as obedient and sensible as him, but he is very stubborn, soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and no one can control his thoughts.

Although Zhang Xiufang is very sorry for her son's good job, since her son has this filial piety and has already become a boat, she didn't talk nonsense, held Shi Stonelei's hand and looked at it kindly and lovingly, and said softly: "Okay, it's good to come back, save me and your father from worrying, your little sister calls you in her dreams...... Son, why did you come back, it's too early to take a taxi? ”

"No, I took the train back at five o'clock, and it wasn't cold anyway, so I walked directly." Shi Donglei took Zhang Xiufang's burning stick, and was about to fill the stove pit with firewood, so he grabbed it for Shi Yu and pushed him and his mother into the east house.

"Son, I'm back" Shi Jianjun, who was sick on the kang, wanted to sit up, but Shi Donglei walked over and held it down, and said with a smile: "I'm back, Dad." You lie down well, hurt your muscles and bones for a hundred days, but don't move, it will be troublesome to leave sequelae. ”

Shi Jianjun stared at Shi Donglei and kept watching, and the corners of his mouth showed a long-lost smile. Shi Stonelei knew that his father was watching him, he didn't care, and with the help of his mother, he took off the backpack and opened it, and it was full of food and drink, all of which were gifts he brought to his family.

"Mom, this is Quanjude roast duck, I originally brought back two, but just now I met a classmate, the roast duck is on the top, so I gave it to her...... Dad, this is the pastry of Daoxiang Village, the best pastry in our country, it is estimated that this brand is it. Little sister, this is your favorite walnut and chestnut, as well as persimmon cake. ”

Shi Stonelei took out a backpack of things and distributed them to a family of three, and opened the large trolley box, which was mostly gifts for his family.

"Dad, this is the down jacket and pants I bought for you, Mom, this is the down jacket and leather shoes I bought for you, little sister, this is your down jacket and boots, by the way, I also bought four sets of thermal underwear, all of them are red, this year we are all natal year, one set for a family, and a red belt......"

After Stonelei divided most of the boxes of gifts, the remaining small half boxes of things were his luggage, just some clothes and books, and the amount was pitiful

Shi Jianjun and his wife and Shi Yu all noticed this scene, but neither of them spoke, and their eyes were a little red. They all knew very well that if it weren't for the drag of the family, this son and brother would not have stayed outside for so many years, but they only had such a little luggage, such shabby.

Shi Stonelei quickly closed the suitcase, took off the fake camel hair short coat that he had worn for several years, took the burning stick in Shi Yu's hand, and pushed the door to go to the outhouse to light the fire.

Shi Yu hurriedly put down his things and ran out, rushing to work with his brother. Zhang Xiufang and Shi Jianjun glanced at each other, sighed softly, and wiped their eyes secretly, Shi Jianjun sat up against the wall hard, took the cigarette basket and rolled a cigarette, Zhang Xiufang glared at him, muttered "Get up and smoke, cigarette tube", and began to clean up the things on the kang that were divided into three piles, and put them into the kang cabinet and the underground cabinet.

Breakfast was prepared and served on the table under the busyness of the three of them. Originally, Zhang Xiufang planned to cook a few more dishes for her son to eat, but Shi Donglei didn't let her, only let her cook some spring cakes, cut some things like shredded cabbage, green onions, and sauerkraut, and made a plate of chili sauce.

The roast duck was drizzled with fried oil by Shi Stonelei, which became charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and after cutting it into meat slices and putting it on a plate, the house was suddenly full of fragrance. The duck slices were served on the table, and the family of four sat down for breakfast.

None of the family had ever eaten roast duck, and it was only under Stonelei's demonstration that they understood the correct way to eat. Shi Jianjun ate the spring cakes that Shi Donglei rolled for him with duck slices, sweet noodle sauce and various side dishes, nodded vigorously and said, "It's so delicious, no wonder this thing is so expensive, Xiufang, hurry up and try it."

A family of four all rolled up the duck spring cakes and ate them by themselves, Zhang Xiufang didn't like to eat sweet noodle sauce, so she used chili sauce instead, and the other three all loved to eat sweet noodle sauce, which was original and tasteful, and the meal was full of laughter and laughter

The Lin family had just finished eating, and before they had time to clean up, the dog barked outside the house, and a person pushed open the door and walked in.

The door of the back room was pushed open, and the four of them saw the faces of the people who came, it turned out to be Shi Jianjun's eldest brother-in-law Li Dawang, Shi Donglei and Shi Yu's eldest uncle.

"Brother-in-law is here, hurry up and eat some more"

"Uncle, this is the Quanjude roast duck I brought back from Beijing, try it"

Li Xiufang took a bowl and chopsticks for Li Dawang, Shi Donglei helped him roll a spring cake, Li Dawang took off the dogskin hat, took the spring cake handed over by Shi Donglei, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but did not eat, but looked at Shi Donglei kindly, and said with a smile: "I watched a person walk in from the east of the village before, and it looked like you, I thought I was wrong, I didn't think it was really you Xiaolei, back for the New Year?" ”

Shi Donglei put the tea that Shi Yu had just made in front of Li Dawang, and said with a smile: "Well, it's not just the New Year, but I won't leave after the New Year." Uncle, hurry up and eat, it's not good to eat when it's cold."

Li Dawang said happily: "Okay, it's better not to go, no matter how good it is outside, it's not as good as at home" After he finished speaking, he took a bite of the spring cake, and after chewing two bites, his eyes lit up, and the speed of chewing became significantly faster, and he nodded again and again and muttered vaguely: "It's delicious, it's delicious"

The remaining plate of duck meat and ten small spring cakes were swept away by Li Dawang in no more than fifteen minutes. That's not all, this old man who is over half a hundred years old also ate two bowls of rice porridge, two steamed buns, a plate of shredded potatoes with green peppers, and more than a pound of bulk liquor.

Li Xiufang's mother and daughter cleaned up the table, Li Dawang held the tea jar, and chatted with Shi Donglei and Shi Jianjun with a red face.

"Xiao Lei, why didn't you bring the object back? These people in the family are about to get sick if they want to drink your wine!" Li Dawang took a sip of hot tea and said as he shook his feet in patched big-toed shoes.

Shi Stonelei sighed in his heart, what he was most afraid of was this problem, and he was most afraid of this this year. He smiled and said, "I didn't bring anything, uncle, did my little brother dip the sugar gourd this year?" ”

"Dip, it's been selling for more than a month. By the way, your little brother will come back in a while, and let him send some over" Li Dawang took the cigarettes handed over by Shi Jianjun, glanced at them, and said speechlessly: "King Furong, this cigarette is expensive, I heard that it costs dozens of yuan a box."

"My uncle still knows this cigarette, but my dad doesn't know it. It was given to me by a friend, and I don't know how to smoke, so I didn't smoke it, so I took it back...... Don't give us sugar gourds, let's keep them and sell them for money, it's not easy."

Shi Donglei lit a cigarette for Li Dawang and his father, and lit one himself. It's not that he doesn't know how to smoke, but he doesn't like to smoke very much, but his previous occupation requires him to be able to smoke, and sometimes he has to smoke one, or even several, and he smokes it when he comes and goes.
