"It's all over the place!" This sentence often hovered in Wang Qiao's mind, and he couldn't understand it.

Zhang Dashan looked at Wang Qiao, who was still pondering, and said: "There is justice in this society, but it is often ignored, or people's attention is naturally more focused on the dark side. The same is true of party life, where justice still plays a leading role, otherwise society would have fallen apart long ago. It is difficult to understand society, you have to look at the general direction and the general trend, and you don't have to be entangled in the details of one time and one place. So don't get too much into who the day is, just do your job well, and you'll know it when the time comes. ”

This kind of statement can be classified as preaching, but when Zhang Dashan says it in a private environment, it is not just preaching, but another life experience.

Wu Liqin saw her husband talking to Wang Qiao seriously, and couldn't help but interject: "Dashan, this is home, don't be so serious." ”

Zhang Dashan said: "It's not easy to meet Wang Qiao in ordinary times, but when I meet today, I have to say a few words when I seize the opportunity, otherwise Uncle Wang will criticize me for not being strict with juniors." ”

Wu Liqin said: "You got the wrong object, Uncle Wang is beating those children who have a superior growth environment, I am afraid that they will not follow the right path and become the children of the Eight Banners in the new era." Wang Qiao's situation is completely different, he is not a gentleman, a rural young man can get to this point with his own efforts, which proves to be very good. ”

Wu Liqin is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she is the kind of middle-aged woman with affinity. Wang Qiao didn't have much contact with her, but he had a good impression.

Wu Liqin peeled a fruit and handed it to Wang Qiao, saying: "Wang Qiao has become a grassroots leader at such a young age, there must be many people to introduce him." Do you have a girlfriend? ”

Wang Xiao and Zhang Xiaoya sat in the bedroom, and the door of the bedroom was facing the living room. I happened to be able to hear the people in the living room clearly, Zhang Xiaoya was guided by Wang Xiao. was in a slightly better mood, and when he heard his mother inquire about Wang Qiao's private affairs, he laughed at himself: "My mother is also an intellectual, and she is essentially the aunt next door. ”

Wang Xiao flipped through Zhang Xiaoya's photos when she was a child and said: "This has nothing to do with knowledge and age, all women like to gossip, not to mention that as an elder, it is normal to ask about the marital status." She pointed to a bare-bottomed photo of Zhang Xiaoya when she was a child. said: "This one should be put away and not let outsiders see it." ”

Zhang Xiaoya said: "No boy has entered my house yet, let alone shown to them." ”

Wang Xiao looked at the two cute little wine vortex that smiled on Zhang Xiaoya's clean face, and said, "Sister Xiaoya is so gentle and beautiful, there must be many people pursuing her at school, right?" ”

Zhang Xiaoya said: "Someone has written a love letter, but the bad words are so ugly that I can't look at them." ”

Hearing that Zhang Xiaoya likes beautiful words, Wang Xiao secretly rejoiced in her heart.

Outdoors. Wang Qiao was answering the question just now. He knew that in the Guangnan Wang family and Zhang Dapao's family, it was absolutely impossible to tell a lie, and the cost of telling a lie once could be very large. Too big to bear. So he said honestly: "I didn't fall in love in college, but after I worked, I met a girl." They were in love for a while, and then they broke up. ”

Wu Liqin looked at Wang Qiao's extremely energetic short hair and handsome face. said: "Did you propose to break up, or the woman?" ”

Wang Qiao said: "Woman." ”

Wu Liqin said: "Which girl is it?" No vision at all. ”

In the back room, Zhang Xiaoya unconsciously listened attentively to the conversation outside, Wang Qiao used to be a handsome guy in the senior and a prince charming for many girls, but he never fell in love at school, which caused a lot of heated discussions. Taking advantage of Chu Xiaozhao's absence, Wang Mingzhu, the most daring and pungent in the bedroom, put forward a hypothesis that "sexual orientation is problematic".

Wang Qiao said: "That girl's name is Li Ningyong, Uncle Dashan and Aunt Wu may know each other, her father is Qiu Dahai, and she herself is now working at Jingzhou TV. ”

"Oh." Zhang Dashan and Wu Liqin sighed at the same time.

"Ahh Zhang Xiaoya also sighed in the room. She knew Li Ningyong, and for a while she often played in a yard.

Wu Liqin said: "I still saw the third child of the Qiu family when I was a child, I followed my mother's surname, and I was very beautiful when I was a child. She usually lives in Jingzhou, and every time she goes to the compound of the Changdong County Party Committee, she is very eye-catching. ”

Wang Qiao was worried about leaving the impression of clinging to the powerful in the hearts of Wu and Zhang, and explained: "When I met Li Ningyong, I didn't know that her father was Qiu Dahai, one surnamed Li and the other surnamed Qiu, and I didn't expect it to be the daughter of the Qiu family. ”

Wu Liqin laughed and said, "You don't need to explain, men should get married, women should get married, this is normal." The fire of her gossip had already been ignited, and she asked, "Then why break up?" ”

Zhang Dashan and Zhang Xiaoya coincidentally listened to Wang Qiao talk about the breakup. Zhang Xiaoya heard Wang Xiao talk about this incident, but listening to someone relay it was not as enjoyable as listening directly to the person concerned.

What is not enjoyable is that Wang Qiao has a strong ability to summarize, and he can explain the key plot clearly in just a few words.

After listening to the narration, Zhang Dashan nodded and said, "This is indeed Zhang Dashan's style." Wu Liqin also nodded, and comforted: "There is no grass at the end of the world, if you divide it, you will divide it, with your conditions, can't you find a girlfriend." ”

Since three o'clock, Wang Qiao has accompanied Zhang Dashan and Wu Liqin to chat in the living room.

Zhang Dashan has been away from Changdong for some time, and he rarely has contact with people in Changdong anymore, so today he has rare free time, just to ask some colleagues who have a good relationship with him.

At five o'clock, after Zhang Dacang got up, a large family came to the courtyard. There was a Coaster parked in the yard, as well as a middle-aged female doctor from the Provincial Electric Power Hospital.

At Yangzhou Railway Station, at half past six, the two families of Shannan and Guangnan finally met.

Wang Yongde has been staying in Guangnan to accompany his uncle, wearing Guangnan-style clothes from head to toe, looking like a returned overseas Chinese returning from a rubber plantation in Southeast Asia, and its comedic effect made Wang Qiao and Wang Xiao sisters and brothers stunned at first, and then laughed. In their minds, their father is a serious rural teacher who has read a belly of ancient books (return to the original version, otherwise some plots will be blunt), and he is really blind when he wears floral clothes at this time.

The protagonists of this gathering are Wang Zhenhua and Zhang Dacang, two hobbling old men who do not adopt the hugging etiquette of young people, but stand face to face, looking at each other. Then, the two raised their hands in unison and gave a military salute. Their arms and palms are old, but they are trying to make the military salute standard.

The juniors stopped talking and gathered around the two old men.

Wang Xiao and Wang Qiao originally thought that their father's dress was funny, but after the surrounding atmosphere became serious and dignified, their father's dress was automatically ignored.

On the Coaster, two old men with age spots on their hands sat side by side in front, and the car was extremely quiet, only the sound of the car moving could be heard.

Wang Xiao, Zhang Xiaoya and Wang Xiaoran got together, and the three beautiful girls occasionally whispered a few words.

This time I came to Shannan, nine times out of ten it was the last time Wang Zhenhua returned to his hometown, and the Wang family in Guangnan attached great importance to it, and all members participated. Due to the large number of people, except for Wang Zhenhua, everyone else stayed at the nearby Provincial Electric Power Hotel.

Zhang Dashan stopped Wang Qiao and said, "I heard that you have a high level of fishing, so I will give you a task to go home and get some Changdong pointed fish for the two old men." ”

Wang Qiao said: "Okay." ”

Zhang Dashan was a little skeptical and said, "Is it okay?" ”

Wang Qiao said: "Okay." ”

Zhang Dashan said: "You are still very confident. ”

Wang Qiao said: "The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and it happens that making fish is my strength. There is a river in front of Liuhe Town, and I am a riverside baby, and I am born to fish. ”

Zhang Dashan saw that his daughter was talking and laughing with Wang Xiao and Wang Xiaoran, and was about to walk towards the Electric Power Hotel, and said, "Xiaoya, you also go home and give Wang Qiao a hand." ”

Wu Liqin said: "Forget it, let her do it is to add to the chaos, and my aunt and I will help to do it." ”

Wang Qiao said: "Actually, you don't have to do anything, I'll do it alone." ”

When he got home, Wang Qiao put on an ill-fitting waistband, and began to make fish with his hands and feet, and when the fragrance wafted out of the kitchen, Wang Zhenhua, the cousin, smelled the fragrance and walked into the kitchen.

"Uncle Tang, this is sauerkraut pointed fish." Wang Qiao introduced.

Wang Zhenhua has been away from home for decades, but his tongue and stomach will always belong to his mother and Changdong, and when he smells the familiar taste of his hometown, his thoughts can't help but return to decades ago.

Wang Zhenhua said to Zhang Dacang, who was standing next to him: "When I left home, my mother sent it to the entrance of the village. She was wearing a placket at that time, so she took up the dress and kept wiping her eyes, and said to herself that I might never see her again if I left. I didn't care about it at the time, but in retrospect, it was the last time I saw my mom. My mom was not yet fifty years old when she left, and now my mind about what my mom looks like is sometimes clear and sometimes blurry. ”

Zhang Dacang said: "When I went back to my hometown, I only saw a few graves. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have not been able to have both, so don't care too much about the head of the regiment. ”

Wang Zhenhua said: "Before retirement, I rarely thought about my mother, and the closer I got to see my ancestor, the more I missed her. ”

After the meal, Wang Zhenhua and Zhang Dacang sat together to recall the affairs of the army, and Wang Qiao sat in the living room to listen to their chat. These chats are all historical, and with the passing of a generation of veterans, too much living history is lost.

The next day, Coaster set off from Yangzhou, and his first destination was the hometown of Haixi, where he had fought. Here, one of their regiments penetrated the heart of the Kuomintang 118th Army and made the first contribution to the total annihilation of the enemy army. Zhang Dacang was seriously wounded in this battle, and since then he has stayed in Changdong and became the first county magistrate of Changdong after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The two white-haired old men were looking for the location of the regiment headquarters in a mixed forest, because the time interval was too long, the terrain and landform had changed a lot, and it was really not easy to determine the regiment headquarters back then. The two old men seemed to have caught up with their lost youth on the battlefield, and they actually argued in front of the juniors. In the end, Zhang Dacang said angrily: "You are the regiment commander, you have the final say." Wang Zhenhua said proudly: "I am the head of the regiment, and the location of the regiment headquarters must be remembered more clearly." ”

When Coaster stopped, Wang Yongde pointed to the red flag floating on the hillside and said: "That's my home, walking along the river, is where the ancestral grave is located, it's remote here, and nothing has been damaged." ”

Wang Zhenhua sat in the car and stared at the familiar and unfamiliar hometown landscape in front of him, his hands trembling slightly.
