Lin Dong chatted for a long time at Luo Hengliang's house, and when it was noon, he said, "Teacher, go to my house to eat at noon, my parents miss you very much." ”

Luo Hengliang waved his hand, "That can't be, you should eat at my house when you come." ”

Lin Dong said: "Teacher, don't shirk anymore, let's go." He grabbed Luo Hengliang's thin arm and walked outside, Luo Hengliang had no choice but to agree.

"Good boy, you let me go and let me lock the door!"

Only then did Lin Dong realize that the door of Luo Hengliang's house was not locked, and quickly let go of the teacher's hand. Luo Hengliang locked the door and walked side by side with Lin Dong.

Lin Dong pointed to the car in front and said, "Teacher, my car is parked in front, and after eating, I will send you back." ”

Luo Hengliang saw Lin Dong's car parked at the door of Liu Zhi'er's house, he knew what happened between Lin Dong and Liu Zhi'er, both of them were his students.

"Lin Dong, have you been looking for Liu Zhi'er?" Luo Hengliang asked.

Lin Dong shook his head, "No, but I met her." Teacher, you and she are neighbors, can you tell me how Zhi'er is doing after marriage? ”

Luo Hengliang sighed, and said after a long time: "Wang Donglai, that Wang Balamb, he is a pervert!" ”

Luo Hengliang's words kept echoing in his ears, and Lin Dong only felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his whole body was cold, and he got into the car, and he was confused, and he didn't know how to drive the car to his home.

In order to be able to sell his things at a good price, Father Lin got up and went to the market in the morning, and after selling his things, he came back early, and saw Lin Dong take Luo Hengliang over. Happy to go out to greet each other. Luo Hengliang is a cultural person, and although Father Lin is a big boss, the two chatted quite speculatively.

Luo Hengliang didn't have many friends in his life. After the divorce, I felt lonely to live alone, and with Father Lin, a drinking friend, who often came to him for a drink, it also passed a lot of difficult time. In Damiaozi Town, no one understands Luo Hengliang's lonely heart better than Father Lin.

"Lao Luo, welcome!" Father Lin stepped forward with a smile and invited Luo Hengliang into the house.

Luo Hengliang smiled: "Lao Lin, I'm going to sue you." I didn't want to come, but your son dragged me here. ”

Father Lin laughed and said: "The baby did the right thing, it's useless for you to sue, I still have to praise him!" ”

The two old drinking friends laughed, and after laughing, Luo Hengliang began to cough again, and Lin Dong hurriedly poured him a bowl of water.

Mother Lin was cooking in the kitchen, and Lin Dong saw that Luo Hengliang was accompanied by his father, so he went into the kitchen to prepare to give his mother a start.

"Mom. I'm here to help you. ”

Mother Lin said angrily: "You go aside." Don't go near the stove, what to do if it soils your clothes. ”

Lin Dong smiled: "Wash it if it's dirty, what's the big deal." ”

"I'm busy. I don't need your help. "Mother Lin doesn't want her son to meddle in the things on the stove.

Lin Dong went back to his room, took off his clothes and pants, and changed into the clothes he used to wear in high school. He didn't think it was appropriate to be at home in those shiny clothes. When the villagers saw it, they inevitably said something unpleasant behind his back, such as scolding him for having his tail up in the sky.

Old clothes are old, but they are warm to wear. He hasn't grown taller over the years, but he's just a little stronger than before, so the clothes he wore in high school were a little tight. Other than that, everything was fine.

Lin Dong walked out of the door. said to Mother Lin: "Mom, I changed my clothes, now it's okay." ”

Mother Lin looked back and saw that her son had changed into an old cotton jacket from many years ago, and said: "You don't know how to do the work on the stove, don't help your mother, it's okay to go out and bask in the sun if you have nothing to do." ”

Lin Dong walked behind the stove, sat down and started to light the fire. Although he can't cook, he has done the work of burning the fire from childhood to adulthood, and he is very good at it. Mother Lin has to take care of the dishes in the pot and the fire in the hearth alone, and sometimes she is too busy. …,

"Mom, I'm good at making fires, and it's most comfortable to sit behind the stove in winter." Lin Dong said, grabbed a handful of wheat straw and filled it into the hearth, the fire in the hearth was burning, and the fire shone on his face, roasting his face red, the same color as the red glow in the evening sky.

Mother Lin saw that he had already sat down, so she didn't stop it, and said while dancing with a spatula: "Dongzi, you put on this dress, and you are still the same as when you were in high school." ”

"When your son grows to be eighty years old, he is still a little doll in your eyes." Lin Dong said with a smile.

Mother Lin's nose was sour, and she said angrily: "Stinky boy, the witty words you learned made your mother's nose sour." ”

Lin Dong remembered that he saw a lot of houses under construction in the town today, and asked: "Mom, I'll buy you a house in the town, you can do some small business, hardware store or small supermarket or something, it's easier and more comfortable than farming." ”

Mother Lin said: "You can discuss this matter with your father." In any case, it is impossible for our family's land to be abandoned, and your father and I have served the crops for most of our lives, and we have feelings for the land, and we can't do without the fields. ”

Although Lin Dong knows that farming is not profitable at all, the significance of land to croppers is profound, in the eyes of croppers, land is hope, farming is sowing hope, is a kind of fun that he can't experience. There is food in your hands, and you don't panic in your heart, this is the words handed down by your ancestors. Both parents had experienced the famine in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and they knew the importance of land and food, and no matter how much money they had, they would not be able to leave the land without food in hand.

Lin Dong originally wanted to bring his parents to the city to enjoy happiness, but now it seems that this is not easy to achieve.

Father Lin sold something at the market this morning, and came back with some seasonal vegetables by the way. Mother Lin knew that Lin Dong loved to eat scrambled eggs with garlic, so she specially instructed her wife to buy more garlic and come back. There are more than a dozen old hens at home, and the eggs laid are not only enough for the family to eat, but also have surpluses. Before Lin Dong came back, Lin's mother was always reluctant to eat, so she saved it and took it to the market to exchange for money. Since entering the wax moon, Mother Lin began to feed the old hens at home with more feed, so that the old hens lay more eggs, which she did not take to the market to sell, but saved them there and left them for her son to come back to eat.

"Dongzi, don't fill the grass when the fire at the bottom of the pot is burned."

Mother Lin had already fried the last dish, Lin Dong stood up from behind the stove, stretched his waist, walked to the stove, and looked at the oily and shiny garlic scrambled eggs in the pot and drooled.

"Go wash the wine cup, and then call your dad and Teacher Luo to eat." Mother Lin instructed her son like a guest at home before, and when Lin Dong returned home, he felt like he had returned to the past, and he could feel the warmth of home everywhere, and he was very satisfied.

He took four wine cups, made half a basin of water, washed it well, set it on the dining table, and then helped his mother bring the dishes to the table, before he walked out of the kitchen and said to Father Lin and Luo Hengliang who were basking in the sun at the door of the hall: "Teacher Luo, Dad, it's time to eat." ”

Father Lin and Luo Hengliang both stood up, and Father Lin smiled and said, "Old Luo, go, let's drink!" The two walked side by side towards the kitchen.

Father Lin invited Luo Hengliang to the upper seat, Luo Hengliang refused at first, but Father Lin mentioned the incident when Lin Dong was in the third year of junior high school, saying that if there was no him at the beginning, there would be no Lin Dong today. Luo Hengliang stopped refusing and sat down on the upper seat.

Father Lin and Luo Hengliang drank for a while, and both of them began to talk more.

"Lao Luo, the baby is out now, how about I let him recognize you as a big man? It's not a shame on your old Luo's face, right? ”

Luo Hengliang hurriedly waved his hand, "Boss Lin, this can't be helped, how can I be qualified to be Lin Dong's big worker, if I can't do it, I can't do it." ”

Father Lin said to Lin Dong: "Dongzi, do you think your Teacher Luo is qualified to be your big man?" ”…,

Lin Dong said with a smile: "There is no one in this world who is more qualified than Teacher Luo, and Lin Dong always remembers the teacher's kindness to Lin Dong and does not dare to forget it." I've been trying to repay the teacher all these years, and now that I finally have the ability, I hope the teacher won't dislike it and accept me as a godson. ”

Father Lin saw that Luo Hengliang had no children under his knees, and now he was divorced, so he wanted to recognize Lin Dong as his godson, hoping to make up for the regret in Lao Luo's heart a little.

Luo Hengliang knew the thoughts of his old friend, and he was moved by the old tears, and he really liked Lin Dong's child, so he didn't shirk it, and nodded and agreed.

Father Lin patted Lin Dong, "Dongzi, go over and kowtow to you and toast a glass of wine." ”

Lin Dong took the wine glass, walked to Luo Hengliang's side, knelt down, and kowtowed, Luo Hengliang couldn't stop him if he wanted to.

"Dry big, I salute you with a glass of wine!" Lin Dong knelt on the ground, poured a glass of wine, and sent it to Luo Hengliang with both hands.

Luo Hengliang wiped his tears, took a sip and drank it, hugged Lin Dong, and cried a handful of noses.

"Son, get up!" Luo Hengliang is very happy today, he hasn't been so happy for a long time.

Lin Dong got up and returned to his seat. Luo Hengliang took a sip of wine and began to cough violently again, Mother Lin hurriedly poured him a bowl of hot water, and after a while, Luo Hengliang stopped coughing.

After lunch, Luo Hengliang and the three members of the Lin family chatted for a while, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, they got up to leave. Lin Dong drove him back to town, and then went to the telecommunications office.

It's almost the Chinese New Year, and the telecommunications bureau is also very busy here. There are only three staff members in the Damiaozi Town Telecommunications Bureau, one is the director of the bureau, and the remaining two are responsible for collecting telephone bills and one is responsible for installing telephones and line maintenance.

Lin Dong was queuing in the hall of the telecommunications bureau, and saw that there was an introduction to installing broadband on the display screen, and he originally came here to install a phone at home, but when he saw that there was broadband, he thought that he would install it together, so he had to go to the city in time, buy a computer for his family, teach his parents how to use video, and when he was in the field in the future, he could chat with his parents through video.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the villagers have a lot of money in hand, and many families who have not installed telephones have rushed to the telecommunications bureau to pay for the installation of telephones at this time. Lin Dong waited in line for an hour before it was his turn. The procedure was simple, the money was paid, the address was left, and then I was told to go home and wait.
