"Today, I please."

"No, I have to."

"Lao Hu, you are so old, why are you still so willful! This meal must be invited by me. ”

"This little brother helped me find the painting, which is equivalent to saving my life, if I don't invite the little brother to dinner, I will be guilty of panic until I die, and then I will fight with you in a hurry."

100,000 yuan, after the bench Dingding bought Nanqiu Tu, the two old men argued in Han Tao's dormitory about who would invite guests to dinner, and the dispute was extremely fierce, and they had the posture of wrestling.

Han Tao was embarrassed, so he said, "Can the old principal let me say a word." ”

"Say ......," both said at the same time.

"I'll invite you two to have a few drinks today, don't fight with me! Otherwise, I will change my mind and this painting will not be sold. Han Tao "threatened".

"Ah......h

The two old men were dumbfounded.

"Why did you invite us to dinner?" The old headmaster asked.

"Old principal, you have always been my idol, my dream is to become a painter like you, please eat, why are you embarrassed to teach me more painting skills in the future?"

Han Tao said with a smile.

The old headmaster was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

The three of them left the dormitory, from childhood to adulthood, Han Tao had never carried so much money in his pocket, and he felt refreshed in the spring breeze.

What the philosopher said is really good, if you have money, you have self-confidence.

Han Tao went to a first-class hotel with the old principal and Lao Hu, although there was a big gap between them in terms of age, but the more the three of them chatted, the more they felt that they were "in love" and had a feeling of knowing each other late.

Lao Hu is a veteran and has fought a lot of real battles. He was picked up from the battlefield, and according to him, he was bombed by the enemy's air raid and the bombs rained down, and the barracks he was in were bombed horribly.

That time, Lao Hu was also hit and broke one of his legs, and he rolled up his trousers to show Han Tao, it was a prosthetic leg.

After understanding, Han Tao has more respect for this veteran soldier who has fought for the country and the people, and has shed blood and sweat, and today's happy life is what they bought with blood.

On the dinner table. Lao Hu kept talking about his time at war. Sometimes he regrets, sometimes he complains, sometimes he slaps the table with a cold face, and angrily scolds the enemies who have invaded the country.

He's hot-blooded. The Body of Justice. Generous and arrogant. The Chinese people are inviolable, defend the dignity of the nation with blood, if there is still war. As long as he doesn't die, he has to climb to the battlefield, although he can't resist the gun and can't kill the enemy, but can't he block the guns for the soldiers?

Han Tao, who said something from Lao Hu, was enthusiastic, picked up the wine glass and said sincerely: "Old man, you have worked hard. ”

I suddenly thought of my father, who was also a soldier, and the country was peaceful at that time, although he had never fought, his father also had a straight body and a hard bone.

After the three of them had a glass of wine together, Lao Hu put down his wine glass, his face was a little displeased, "Han Tao, you are an old gentleman, why do I feel so awkward when I hear it?" Are you going to see me? If you don't treat me as an outsider, just call me brother, how kind it is! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare ......"

Han Tao hurriedly waved his hand, and said in his heart: You can be my grandfather at your age, this title can't be shouted.

"Han Tao, I see that you are also a happy person, why aren't you happy now, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Monk, which of the three of them is not older than Tang Seng, don't you still call the master?"

This metaphor is a bit far, Lao Hu continued: "Why do you take the title so seriously, I value you as a person, how we want to call others something, just say it!" ”

Lao Hu is also straight, what he thinks and says, his life is bright and clear, he never cares about what others say, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a stubborn donkey, once the decision is made, it is difficult to be changed.

He just looked at Han Tao pleasing to the eye, and asked to bow to Han Tao as he spoke.

And the old principal on the side also said that he had no opinion, and after understanding, he found that Han Tao's personality was quite similar to him, very similar to himself when he was young, and he also removed Han Tao from the right to call him the old principal.

Han Tao was dumbfounded, and could see that the two were not joking.

Han Tao tilted his head slightly, revealing an embarrassed look, "I ......"

Han Tao really didn't know what to say, this matter was so strange, two seventy or eighty-year-old people actually wanted to worship him as brothers, and no one would believe it!

It's not that Han Tao dislikes the two of them, but he thinks that if he swears, won't he take a big advantage!

Seeing that Han Tao kept shirking, the two of them were very "angry", just like children making trouble, they actually ignored Han Tao, who made Han Tao "look down" on them.

In this case, Han Tao was no longer coquettish, stood up and said: "Old Ang, Old Brother Hu, are we counting the Taoyuan Three Alliances!" Come and dry this wine, and you will be my big brother from now on. ”

"Hahahaha......"

The two laughed at the same time, "Okay, Brother Han Tao, come and toast......"

Later, Han Tao learned that from today onwards, he had a nephew who was the deputy director of the Jiangbei City Public Security Bureau.

………………

In the evening, Han Tao made a call home.

Sue Chen Guiqin tomorrow he will go home.

Today is Saturday, tomorrow is Sunday, it happens that there is no class next Monday, Han Tao can live at home for two days, and return to school on Tuesday morning without delaying afternoon classes.

Han Tao's hometown is in a small county under Jiangbei City.

Qingcang County, Huanggu Township, Dabei Village.

It took two hours to get home by bus, and I felt very kind when I returned home.

When Chen Guiqin saw her son coming back, she shushed and asked for warmth.

"Mom, where did Dad go?" Han Tao walked into the house and didn't see Han Dexiu, it stands to reason that at this time, Han Dexiu would grind tofu at home.

Han Dexiu has been making tofu at home for more than three years, and his health is not good, because when he was a soldier, he was assigned to an extremely cold frontier place, and he froze all over his body, the most obvious disease is chronic bronchitis.

In winter, I have a cough and some difficulty in wheezing, and I have been taking medicine for several years, but there is no significant effect.

After winter, it was slightly better, at least not every day when he was bored. But he is not very capable of working with gravity, so he chooses to grind tofu at home.

On the first day, I made tofu, and on the second day, I sold it in the village or neighboring villages, although I didn't make much money, but I still had an income, otherwise I couldn't support Han Tao to go to college by relying only on my family's fields.

"Your dad went to build a house for someone." Chen Guiqin said.

"Why did he go to build a house again, can he physically resist it?" Han Tao said distressedly.

Last year, because of the excessive effort to build a house to earn money, Han Dexiu, who was uncomfortable for a few days, couldn't eat, so Han Tao persuaded him not to go, saying that he had already found a job and could basically support himself to go to college.

But who doesn't want to earn more money for their children?

"It's fine. Now the weather is warmer. When I'm tired, I take a day off, and we don't work hard, mainly because now the people in the village are going out to work, and a pot of tofu can't be sold out in a day. The next day it was rancid. Tofu can't be done. Your dad insists on building houses for others to earn money, and I can't stop it! ”

Chen Guiqin said: "Xiaotao, don't worry about us. Study hard, and we will be satisfied with finding a good job in the future. ”

Han Tao's heart was sour, he was powerless to change his family situation before, but now he definitely couldn't let the second elder suffer anymore.

At this time, shouts rang out outside the gate, "Sister-in-law......"

Han Tao and Chen Guiqin walked out of the house, and the person who came was a middle-aged woman.

"Tao is back!" The second aunt eats a thief who is fat, broad-chested and big-chested, and in local dialect, she is long-term wealthy, but she has no happy life, and her family background is not very good.

Han Tao smiled and said hello.

Then, the second aunt took out twenty-five yuan from her pocket and handed it to Chen Guiqin, "Here, this is the money you earned yesterday for helping people choose vegetables, and I brought it to you." ”

"Thank you! His second aunt. ”

Chen Guiqin held the money in the palm of his hand and said with a smile.

"Thank you! This shouldn't be! Next time we have a job, let's go together! How easy it is to earn this money, it's not tiring, and we still take care of our meals at noon. ”

Han Tao knew that the second aunt in front of him was straightforward, talkative, and had a good heart.

"Alright, I'm leaving! Your baby son is back today, hurry up and make something delicious! The second aunt laughed and said.

"The delicious food is ready, do you want to stay and eat?" Chen Guiqin said politely.

"No, I have to hurry back and cook for my family."

After the second aunt finished speaking, she strode away, quite like a female man, in fact, she is a female man, very capable, and she is not inferior to a man at all in the work at home.

Han Tao looked at the money in Chen Guiqin's hand in his hand, speechless, and always felt sour in his heart.

"What are you doing! Don't hurry back to the house. ”

Chen Guiqin saw Han Tao standing in the courtyard stunned and said.

"Mom, you've worked hard."

Looking at his mother's increasing gray hair, the tip of Han Tao's nose was sour, and he almost cried.

"You stupid boy, what are you talking about, hurry up and go into the house, your father is coming back soon, I'll go stir-fry." Chen Guiqin hurriedly ran into the kitchen.

After entering the house, Chen Guiqin smiled lightly, happy in her heart, even though Han Tao didn't say it, she could also feel her son's concern for her.

Silly child, Mom doesn't feel tired of suffering for you.

Her son has finally grown up, Chen Guiqin's heart is warm, she has worked hard for Han Tao for most of her life, and she doesn't ask for anything in return, she just asks Han Tao to be well, so that she will be satisfied.

Han Dexiu went home with a body of dust, and his face was full of exhaustion.

He knew that Han Tao was going home today, and he was not surprised when he saw Han Tao, "What time will I get home." ”

After Han Dexiu finished speaking, he took the washbasin placed in the yard, scooped a basin of water, and washed his face.

At this time, Han Tao said solemnly: "Dad, I have something to tell you." ”

Han Dexiu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What's the matter, the gods are mysterious?" ”

Han Tao called Chen Guiqin to the hall again.

The second elder looked at Han Tao's extremely solemn expression, and suddenly became puzzled.

"Dad, Mom, I'm grown up now, don't worry about me anymore, you have taken care of me for most of my life, let me take care of you in the future!"

Han Tao's eyes said sourly.

"What's the matter with you? What are you doing with these words, you won't let us care when we grow up! Han Dexiu was used in his heart, but he said angrily, he knew that Han Tao did not mean what he said.

"Xiao Tao, what's wrong with you? Did you encounter something unhappy? ”

Seeing that her son looked like she was about to cry, Chen Guiqin was frightened, because Han Tao had been dumped by her girlfriend before, and she had been worried.

Han Tao hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said no, then took the schoolbag he brought home and took out a few wades of money from it.

When Han Dexiu and his wife saw the money on the table, their eyes immediately widened, and it was 80,000 yuan...... (To be continued......)
