Chapter 301: Meeting (3)
While waiting for the plane to take off, Zhang Xiaoya glanced at the bald man sitting next to her, and always felt that it was quite strange to sit with Wang Qiao and go to Guangnan, with a strong sense of unreality.
"Hey, you're a senior brother, why do you sit like a clay statue Bodhisattva, don't say a word, find a topic to talk about, otherwise it's very uncomfortable to sit together."
Wang Qiao has been silent since he stepped onto the plane, and Zhang Xiaoya tried not to speak at first. But in terms of the tempering of the heart in society, Zhang Xiaoya is much worse than Wang Qiao, and after sitting for a while, she couldn't help but talk.
When he was studying at Shannan University, Wang Qiao, as the president of the student union, talked a lot on the stage. At the freshman exchange meeting, Wang Qiao also talked about the topic of "college students' self-improvement" in front of Zhang Xiaoya and other newcomers. Zhang Xiaoya knew that Wang Qiao's eloquence was good, and it shouldn't be the stuffy gourd he was now.
Wang Qiao said: "I don't know what to talk to you about." ”
Zhang Xiaoya said: "Why? ”
Wang Qiao said: "There is a generation gap. ”
Zhang Xiaoya glared and said unconvinced: "If you make a mistake, you are two levels higher than me, where did this generation gap come from." ”
Wang Qiao said in a very calm tone: "The generation gap is a state, and it is not clear. He picked up a newspaper and read it.
According to Zhang Xiaoya's original understanding, she sent Wang Qiao thousands of miles to Guangnan to see Grandpa Wang, Wang Qiao should be very grateful to himself and take the initiative to talk to himself, and he should be like a proud princess, answer when she is happy, and perfunctory if she is not happy.
But the reality is very different, Wang Qiao is polite and takes care of himself. There is a look like a big brother. But he is completely different from ordinary boys, and he has no intention of pleasing himself. While waiting for the plane to take off, he turned into a taciturn wooden man.
Zhang Xiaoya originally wanted to ignore him. Decorate the cold and glamorous style, but curiosity still prevails, plus she has a cheerful personality, she doesn't like to be stuffy like this, so she asked, "Senior brother, I have a question, can I ask you?" ”
Wang Qiao put down the newspaper and said, "Of course." ”
Zhang Xiaoya said: "This question is a bit sharp, don't be angry." ”
Wang Qiao said: "I won't be angry. At best, no comment. ”
"You can't use diplomatic rhetoric, you have to tell the truth." When Zhang Xiaoya was sensible, her father was already a leader, and she was a "little princess" who was loved by everyone since she was a child. After entering the university, although she deliberately concealed her good family background. But unconsciously, she became a "princess" in the eyes of her classmates, not only beautiful, but more importantly, lively and generous, knowledgeable and courteous.
"Okay, you ask."
"There's one thing I can't understand. In fact, your family could have come to Grandpa Wang twenty or thirty years ago, why did you delay it until now? ”
Wang Qiao glanced back at Zhang Xiaoya, and happened to see a pair of exceptionally clear and beautiful eyes. He quickly looked away and said, "This is a difficult question with a sense of historical heaviness. I also discussed it with my sister. When my cousin left his hometown, my dad was still very young, and my dad was growing up. Society is very volatile and backward. I haven't taken this step yet. It's up to us to take this step in the end. ”
Zhang Xiaoya shook her head and said, "I didn't understand." ”
Wang Qiao said: "From another point of view, Uncle Tang has never come back since he left his hometown. ”
Zhang Xiaoya said: "This is different. Uncle Cousin fully believed that all of his family had been killed. ”
Wang Qiaodao: "Specifically, my dad has never walked out of his small mountain village in his life (he will gradually return to Hou Haiyang's setting in the future, and the setting that was later renamed is always not smooth), he has been a contemporary teacher, and he has only become a regular in recent years, and he has historical limitations." Therefore, the responsibility of going out of the mountain village to find relatives was entrusted to me and my sister. ”
Zhang Xiaoya said: "Then why didn't you think of this idea in your four years of college?" ”
Wang Qiao said: "Actually, we have been thinking about looking for Uncle Tang in our hearts, after all, he is the hero of our family. When I was in the old village, your father gave a speech in the old village hall, and I wanted to find him to explain my relationship with my cousin. By the time your father finished speaking, I was about to look for him, but he had already left his hometown. By accident, it will be five or six years before we meet again. ”
After talking about this level, Zhang Xiaoya didn't ask for the root cause anymore, and if she asked deeply, it would be a little aggressive and impolite. She laughed, "I actually met you when I wasn't in college, and more than once. ”
Wang Qiao remembered Zhang Dacang's words and said, "That should have seen me when he accompanied my grandfather to watch a basketball game." ”
Zhang Xiaoya said: "Two times I watched you play, and once on the train. ”
This time it was Wang Qiao's turn to be surprised, and said, "When, on what train?" ”
Zhang Xiaoya said: "It was a train to Guangnan a few years ago, and Wang Xiaoran and I sat in a sleeper together. Wang Xiaoran is your cousin's granddaughter, you are your cousin. You were in a carriage with us, and later you brought a girl to the sleeper. ”
Going to Guangnan is the beginning of being imprisoned and losing Lu Qi, how can Wang Qiao not remember it deeply, the key is that he can't remember that there are Zhang Xiaoya and Wang Xiaoran in the carriage at all, and said: "There is such a thing, I took the train to Guangnan. As for the rest of the car, I really can't remember. ”
What Wang Qiao said is true, Zhang Xiaoya was still a very ordinary yellow-haired little girl, not very noticeable, plus Wang Qiao's heart was extremely complicated at the beginning, there was a longing for the world, and there was also a deep longing for Lu Qi, so he spent more time immersed in the inner world, and did not pay too much attention to people and things outside.
After some gossip, time passed little by little, and the plane finally took off.
Wang Qiao leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and pondered, and stopped chatting.
When the plane landed at the airport, Wang Qiao woke up from his sleep and said, "It's here." Zhang Xiaoya said: "You are a big nerve, who can sleep on the eve of the recognition of relatives." ”
Wang Qiao said: "Back then, Uncle Tang and his regiment took the initiative to drill into the encirclement of more than 10,000 enemies, which created an opportunity to annihilate the enemy. ”
Zhang Xiaoya said: "Have you studied that period of history? ”
Wang Qiao said: "In the series of history books about Jingzhou. There will inevitably be this paragraph. ”
The one who came to pick up the airport was Wang Xiaoran, who was about the same age as Wang Qiao. The contours of the facial features appear a little stiff, not too gentle. She stared at Wang Qiao unabashedly. At a glance, he understood that the young man in front of him should be the Wang family. His nose is like a hanging gall, the back of his nose is straight, and he is very beautiful, which is a unique sign of the Wang family's men, grandfather, father, and the person in front of him are like this.
"Sister Xiao Ran." Zhang Xiaoya greeted warmly and hugged Wang Xiaoran warmly.
Zhang Xiaoya pulled Wang Xiaoran to the other side, and the two bit their ears and looked at Wang Qiao. Being scrutinized by the Wang family and the Zhang family is an inevitable process of finding relatives, and Wang Qiao has a good attitude. I no longer care that Wang Xiaoran looked at him.
Wang Xiaoran said: "What does Wang Qiao do? ”
Zhang Xiaoya said: "You have seen him before, it is in a sleeper. ”
After listening to Zhang Xiaoya's detailed description, Wang Xiaoran said: "Well, I remembered it, there is such a thing. Listening to your tone, I agree with him. ”
Zhang Xiaoya said: "Wang Qiao graduated from Shannan University and is in the same department as me. Back then, he was the man of the year in our school, the prince charming of many female students. ”
Wang Xiaoran asked again: "Do you think this matter is true or false?" ”
Zhang Xiaoya said: "I sent it over, at least I passed my grandfather's level." It is up to you to judge whether it is true or not. ”
After chatting for a while, the three of them got into the car. Wang Xiaoran drove, Zhang Xiaoya sat in the co-pilot's seat, and Wang Qiao sat alone in the back seat.
Wang Xiaoran explained: "Wang Qiao." My dad has an important meeting, and he can't come. I'll accompany you to see Grandpa later. So far, we haven't told Grandpa about you. Grandpa is not in good health. All the time in the hospital, you pay attention to control your emotions. Don't irritate him. ”
Wang Qiao said bluntly: "I didn't tell my cousin uncle in advance, I left suddenly." Uncle Cousin will definitely be stimulated. It's hard to grasp this degree. ”
Before Wang Xiaoran met with Wang Qiao, he had a bit of a down-looking attitude towards the relatives who came from Shannan to look for relatives, who knew that this relative not only did not have the imaginary "soil" and the image was very good, but he was also neither humble nor arrogant, so he quietly put away his overlook and said: "Then we will act at the opportunity, my grandfather has been a relative for a lifetime, but he doesn't dare to return to his hometown, and he didn't think that there are relatives in his hometown, which is a great comfort to his grandfather." ”
Wang Qiao said: "The ancestral tomb of Erdaogui is still very well maintained, and you can go back and see it if you have the opportunity." ”
"You're here, so you'll naturally go back and have a look." Wang Xiaoran couldn't help but look up at the rearview mirror, there was a handsome and tough face belonging to the Wang family in the mirror, and said: "Actually, this meeting should be forty years ago, why didn't you come earlier?" ”
Wang Qiao said: "It's a long story, find time to talk slowly." ”
Zhang Xiaoya saw that Wang Qiao was also talking to her sister in this way, and a smile appeared on her face.
Wang Xiaoran's eyes spotted Zhang Xiaoya's smile and said, "Xiaoya, what are you laughing at?" ”
Zhang Xiaoya said: "I also asked this question, if it wasn't for the communication in advance, Wang Qiao would have answered me with no comment." ”
Wang Qiao said: "This is a matter of many years of historical deposits, how can I say it clearly in a few words." ”
It took more than an hour for the car to cross the street and arrive at a hospital with a military mark.
Before coming to the ward, Wang Xiaoran's face looked a little heavy, and said, "I really doubt that my father's decision to let you meet with grandpa immediately is correct, I will tell you the truth, grandpa is very sick." ”
Wang Qiao's heart tightened suddenly, and said, "If my cousin's appearance causes my cousin to be emotional, then I am not in a hurry to meet now, and I will meet again after my cousin is discharged from the hospital." ”
Wang Xiaoran shook his head and said, "My dad has already made a decision, and you will arrange to meet as soon as you arrive in Guangnan." Grandpa is so sick that he may leave at any time, and when he meets you, he will definitely feel that he has no regrets. ”
In front of the ward, Wang Xiaoran's mother and Wang Xiaoran's aunt were waiting for someone from their hometown, and after seeing Wang Qiao, they didn't say hello, so they let Wang Xiaoran, who was most loved by his grandfather, take Wang Qiao in.
Walking to the ward, a scrawny old man was lying on the hospital bed, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Wang Xiaoran sat on the edge of the bed and called softly, "Grandpa." ”
Wang Zhenhua slowly opened his eyes, saw the person coming, showed a kind smile, raised his hand and touched his granddaughter's head. His body was so weak that he raised his hand as if he had exhausted all his strength.
In Wang Qiao's mind, Uncle Tang has always been a heroic image of a prancing horse, and the old man in front of him is too far from the picture in his mind, and he secretly sighs the ruthlessness of time.
Wang Xiaoran said in his grandfather's ear: "There is a person named Wang Qiao in the second road of Liuhe Town, who claims to be from our family, and his father's name is Wang Yongde, I heard that you saw it when you were a child." ”
Wang Zhenhua originally had his eyes closed, but when he heard Wang Yongde's name, his eyes suddenly opened, flashing a bright light that only a man in his prime of life.
