Chapter 1 Australian Lobster
The scorching sun was in the sky, and the scorching light shone on this dirt hill where there was almost no green vegetation. Reticulated cracks appeared on the cracked hills.
The small mountain path spreads over the hills, like a coiled snake.
Zhang Zijian held his hands on his knees, bent over and inhaled heavily, moistening his chapped lips with the little saliva he had.
The scorching air sliced through the lungs like a knife. "Uncle Dog. Can we rest? Zhang Zijian, raising his heavy head, looked at the middle-aged man walking on the spreading dirt mountain road not far away.
The middle-aged man was in his thirties, wearing a washed and white-haired blue tunic with a blue mountain hat on his head. The swarthy and emaciated face, the thin body is bent by the heavy baggage.
"Can't rest any longer. Over this ridge, you will reach the county seat after walking ten miles, and then rest, you won't be able to catch the train, dog baby, uncle knows that you are weak after a serious illness, hold on, and you will no longer have to suffer when you arrive in the capital. Uncle Gou Yu slowly walked to Zhang Zijian's side and said.
Zhang Zijian didn't say anything, looked at the scorching sunshine, and walked forward with heavy steps.
It has been more than a month since I was reborn in this backward world, but I didn't expect to be fooled by the gods into a small ravine where I couldn't be poorer anymore. What kind of power, money, Zhang Zijian was already desperate, so he had to wait for the opportunity to get out of this poor ravine and use the experience of his previous life to develop anew.
He doesn't know where the owner of Zhang Zijian's body has gone, he may have gone to the Western Elysium, or he may have been in the south without Amitabha, or even in hell, this is no longer his concern. His current identity is called Dog Baby, and his name is also a coincidence, and he is also called Zhang Zijian. It was the father of the original owner of his body, a young man in the countryside in the capital, who stepped on the shuttle bus back to the capital the night before he was born, and has not been heard from since.
That year was in mid-July 1973, and it was also the second time that Deng Lao made a comeback, and the dog's grandfather followed Deng Lao to resume revolutionary work.
In a hurry, sixteen years have passed, and the dog baby has become a big guy, but since the beginning of the mother's womb, he has fallen ill, and his body has been very weak, and his old mother died unfortunately when she gave birth to him, and died with a kind of unwilling sadness. The dog baby was raised by an old Balu, and now he has become the old branch secretary of the village.
Uncle Gou Yu is now the village party secretary in the village, on the sixteenth birthday of the dog baby, suddenly got a serious illness, it was Uncle Dog Leftover, carrying the dog baby out of more than ten miles of mountain road to the town health center, to save his life, it was at this time, Master of Finance, investment consultant of a large financial group Zhang Zijian walked into the body of the dog baby.
Zhang Zijian walked in front silently. The only weight on his body was an army-green shoulder bag with a change of torn clothes inside.
The new cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles were made by Aunt Dog Leftover for two nights, the dark blue trouser belt was tied to it with a heel cloth rope, and the top was a green military uniform from the 70s, which Uncle Dog Leftover wore when he was a soldier, and he also wore a green hat on his head that was not inferior to the mountain hat. This can make Zhang Zijian depressed. I didn't want to bring it, but Uncle Gou said that this is a symbol of contemporary youth. It's not good to look without a hat, and when you enter the city, everyone brings it, but if you don't bring it, you can't keep up with the pace of the revolutionary era.
This is what makes Zhang Zijian speechless, isn't the special period over a long time ago? How can you keep the revolutionary spirit at every turn? It seems that the red storm has deeply damaged the brains of many people.
If you want to say that Zhang Zijian and Uncle Gou Yu went to the capital this time, it was because Gouwa's father finally remembered his son, and sent a telegram to the county through other channels, entrusting the county leaders to find his son's son on his behalf. It is also easy to find, there is a name, an address, a quasi, the county travel fee, let the village people send people to the capital.
When Zhang Zijian talked about his life experience from Uncle Gou, there was a grandfather who entered the cabinet and a deputy director of a department in Beijing. Suddenly his heart was full of joy, it seems that the gods did not fool him, this is not a mountain and a heavy water, there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. But this dog uncle knows who is looking for Zhang Zijian, the dog baby who has been raised in the village for 16 years is now also a high-ranking official, what will happen in the future, there are people in our capital, no.
The road is difficult, and God will sharpen Zhang Zijian a little more. Grit your teeth, not afraid of the hot and humid weather, and embark on a bright and beautiful life.
The green train wagon looks old, and the seats still have old-fashioned bamboo and wood chairs. There are many people in the carriage, there are many animals, chickens, ducks, geese and people are crowded in this dull carriage, the windows have been opened to the maximum, but the speed of the car cannot go up, the wind is still hot, and the whole carriage is in a mess.
Messy vocals, ducks and geese are still singing, and bored people smoke despite the strong smell of the carriage. More than a dozen windows on both sides of the carriage are also available. Zhang Zijian didn't understand the speed of more than forty miles per hour, and he couldn't scratch these peculiar smells. With a sad and sweaty mood, I had to grit my teeth and persevere.
After two days and one night of turbulence, he finally arrived in the capital, and Zhang Zijian, who had gnawed his head three times in two days, had his stomach shrunk into a ball at this time, and he was hungry for a while, and he was miserable.
Fortunately, someone at the station held a sign to greet him, and it was Zhang Zijian's father's driver. Sitting in a half-new Poussin made Zhang Zijian more comfortable.
Zhang Zijian, who was hungry and dizzy, didn't know how many turns the driver had made and how many miles he had walked, and finally stopped at a medium-sized restaurant.
"The leader has a meeting in the afternoon, and I couldn't pick you up in person, so I'll come over after work, and let me have a meal with you first." Among the drivers who did not speak along the way, they finally spoke at the destination.
Zhang Zijian took the lead in opening the car door and getting out of the car. Help Uncle Gou Yu take his luggage and go to the Forgotten Hotel. Two greetings stand at the door of this medium-sized hotel. Watching the two old hats walk into the hall, I forgot to say welcome. On the left side of the door is the cash register bar, and a wealthy middle-aged woman standing inside then said: "This is a high-end restaurant, how can you enter it casually?" I said how did you two guard the door, and let the two hats come in if you were not in good shape. ”
The driver followed behind and heard the proprietress say, shook his head secretly, and stepped forward and said, "I said the boss, when did you become a high-end hotel." This is a distant relative from Zhang Ting's house, let me bring you here for a meal, you are not welcome, we will find another house, Zhang Hall will come to find it in a while, don't say I didn't bring it. ”
"Hey, Master Liu, look at my mouth, don't mind, relatives of the Zhang Ting family, look at my blind eyes. I'll arrange a private room! The proprietress saw that it was Director Zhang's driver, and Master Liu hurriedly changed her words. If this is transferred to Director Zhang, he will find something awkward for himself in the future, and it will not be worth it.
The private room was quickly arranged, and the ceiling fan in the private room was also opened the fastest, and the standard round table for eight people was placed with tea sets and wine glasses, and the wine glasses were folded into flower-shaped napkins.
Zhang Zijian sat down next to Uncle Gou, the driver Master Liu sat opposite them, and a little girl came to make tea with a pot of water. The driver, Master Liu, took out a cigarette to let the dog stay uncle.
Zhang Zijian knows that he and Uncle Gou's clothes are despised by people, now it's 89 years, fashion is popular in the capital, and he is still wearing clothes from the 70s. Not to mention being looked down upon by the proprietress, if you put it on Zhang Zi Fitness, you will drive yourself away when you see this dress.
The driver, Master Liu, asked Uncle Gou to order, Uncle Gou Yu politely asked Master Liu to order first, turned around and said to Zhang Zijian: "Your father will come in a while, but you have to return your father, it has been more than ten years, you are father and son after all." ”
Uncle Gou's words almost scared the menu in Master Liu's hand to the ground.
At first, I thought that my rural hometown came to see the poor relatives of the big leaders, how many years, in the capital, they were all popular, don't look at the clothes and rags on the road, maybe it is the poor relatives of the leader. Master Liu was surprised in his heart, Director Zhang, he knew, the old man behind him was amazing, one of the nine cabinets, and the youngest one. Don't look at the current Director Zhang as a deputy in the Capital Health Department, it is gilding, and he will be released after a year and a half, but he is a heavyweight. That's a young and powerful person. Director Zhang also has a son in the countryside, this is ...... Master Liu knew that this matter could not be talked about, Director Zhang's current wife was young, although there was a two-year-old child, it was impossible to have such a big son, most of them were illegitimate children. I didn't see it, I didn't hear it, as a personal driver, I still know how to keep it secret from the leader, and my heart was warm, and I could see that Director Zhang trusted himself very much, and he received such a secret thing, which was a letter.
"Here, it's also the kung fu of the front foot and the back foot, hehe, Director Zhang, please." The proprietress opened the private room and said to a middle-aged man in his forties. The driver, Master Liu, also hurried up at this time.
As soon as Zhang Zijian heard Director Zhang, he knew that the legendary father was coming. Uncle Gou Yu also stood up immediately, and some excited tears rolled in his eyes and said to Director Zhang: "Brother Jianguo! ”
With a "bump", the chair behind Uncle Gou Yu fell to the ground, walked to Zhang Jianguo's side, and clasped his hands tightly.
Zhang Jianguo's tears also flowed out, and he muttered: "Brother Dog." Then, the two of them hugged each other tightly.
Uncle Gou Yu took Zhang Jianguo's hand and turned his head to Zhang Zijian and said, "Dog baby, come here, this is your father." ”
Zhang Zijian and Zhang Jianguo, their eyes were together, looking at each other. Zhang Zijian could see that Zhang Jianguo's eyes were a little excited, and at the same time a little guilty.
"This baby, on the way here, didn't you say yes? Don't call people yet. Uncle Gou Yu said a little anxiously.
Zhang Zijian really can't say it, in his previous life, he was an orphan, and he was admitted to Nankai Institute of Finance through the special fund of the orphanage. I don't have the concept of parents when I remember it, and I used to yearn for parents, but as I get older, what kind of envy is slowly buried in my heart.
Zhang Zijian looked at Uncle Dog Yu, stood still, and then thought, since God has arranged for me to have a good father, I will enjoy the life of a gentleman, feel the father's love, but unfortunately there is no mother's love, or I can really realize my dream of having a warm home.
"Dad!" It's not loud, but anyone can hear it. This dad is too long for Zhang Jianguo.
"Hey!" Zhang Jianguo, who was in tears, hurriedly responded. I couldn't stop nodding. Master Liu, who was beside him, also said happily: "Leader, this is a happy event." The proprietress of Hongyun also followed and said congratulations.
Zhang Zijian said: It's not over yet, I'm so hungry. Don't hurry up and serve the food.
Zhang Jianguo took Uncle Gou's hand and greeted the situation in his hometown, Zhang Zijian sat next to this father, and he didn't say a word, in fact, he didn't have anything to say at all. In the eyes of others, it is shy shyness. After all, he came out of the countryside and had never seen the world.
The proprietress of Hongyunlai said: "On the day of Hall Zhang's big day, you order first." ”
"Order something, take out your signature dishes here, and serve them to me." Zhang Jianguo said happily.
The smiling proprietress said: "That's good, I'll tell the kitchen, hehe, by the way, there is some seafood today, give my son a taste and replenish his body." ”
The proprietress of Hongyunlai didn't say this, and Zhang Zijian didn't say anything. "I look down on people, I'm so old-fashioned and unnutritious?" Zhang Zijian tilted his head, looked at his father, gave a smiling face, and looked at Uncle Gou. said: "Uncle, I really want to eat seafood." Didn't she say that this is a high-end hotel? Why don't we have a two-foot lobster in Australia? ”
A table of people are all fluted, and the proprietress knows something bad when she hears the Australian lobster, is this an eye drop for herself? A little embarrassed said: "My eldest son, our shop is smaller, there is no big lobster you said, there is a two-inch crayfish, and I will serve you a plate of spicy stir-fried lobster, do you think it's okay?" ”
"Then forget it?" Zhang Zijian said innocently, as if there was nothing at all.
Zhang Jianguo looked at Zhang Zijian curiously, but he was a little relieved. Curious, there is also Uncle Dog Yu, with a big mouth and a surprised face. Uncle Gou Yu was a soldier, although he was a pig soldier who raised pigs in the army for three years, he was also a person who went out to see the world.
"Are there prawns?" Zhang Zijian asked again like a proprietress again.
"This one has!" The proprietress hurriedly said.
At this time, Zhang Zijian came to a surprise and said: "Then let's have a long prawn in the deep sea of Antarctica." Don't South American. Zhang Zijian also stretched out his thumb and middle finger and measured the length.
The proprietress of Hongyun was embarrassed and was about to cry, is this a child who just came from the countryside? It's so strange to eat.
Zhang Jianguo only looked at Zhang Zijian again at this time. Xin Dao: "I have a heart, a wide range of knowledge, and dare to tease people, is this my child pulled in the ravine?" ”
If it weren't for Zhang Zijian's mother, Zhang Jianguo would really be suspicious. Then he said to the proprietress that "Let's go and serve the food." He waved his hand and told the proprietress to step back.
Zhang Zijian returned to a shy state at this time, lowering his head and not squeaking or speaking.
"In my hometown, what grade are you in?" Zhang Jianguo looked at Zhang Zijian kindly and asked.
Seeing that Zhang Zijian didn't squeak much, Uncle Gou Yu hurriedly answered: "It's the fifth grade, this child has a hard life, and when he is born, his body is weak, and the school is in the sheep's tail ditch, and there is such a school within a radius of ten miles." The dog baby can go to school for ten days a month, and when he came, his teacher said that he had a poor foundation, and he was only at the level of the second grade. ”
Zhang Jianguo said in his heart: "It's all Australian lobsters, and I am still in the second grade, and I have never eaten a two-foot-long lobster." ”
"The second-grade level is a little bit worse. But it doesn't look like it, is his teacher a little prejudiced against him? Zhang Jianguo wants to think about it, no matter how he looks at his son, he follows himself, he has a lot of books, and he is very knowledgeable. Although it is very exaggerated, Zhang Jianguo, who is in a good mood, does not feel that he is as exaggerated as he thinks.
"This is what the dog baby his teacher, Zhu Jing said. When I came, I asked her about the situation. Uncle Gou Yu put down the chopsticks in his hand and said to Zhang Jianguo.
Zhang Jianguo nodded, then turned his head to Zhang Zijian and said: "You still have to go to school, your health is not good, slowly recuperate, I plan to let you go to the first year of junior high school, and the rest of the time, ask a tutor to make up for the homework you have missed over the years." You must be too old to go to primary school. ”
Zhang Jianguo's words seemed to be asking Zhang Zijian's opinion, and it seemed to be a very arbitrary decision to Zhang Zijian's schooling.
Zhang Zijian coughed dryly, knowing that if he didn't speak, he would probably become the child king of junior high school. Thinking about the eight or nine years of study, he has a headache, and he must have experienced what kind of boring study life.
"Actually, my self-taught level can challenge the third year of high school." Zhang Zijian's words can be said to be earth-shattering. Don't look at Zhang Zijian's master's level before, but after all, he has put down his homework for many years, and he is not sure that he will be admitted to the university directly, he wants to review for a year safely, and then take the exam to a good university. If it is really like Zhang Jianguo said, starting from a new junior high school is not just a waste of five or six years. Zhang Zijian is still very smart to talk about his self-learning level, but he didn't say death, which makes people think that he is really talented, smart and self-taught?
