Chapter 46: Nanyang Gathering
In the past few days since Li Er was lost, Zhou Xiaomei and Dapeng searched every street in the city, and the two of them drove a car, even running through various towns and villages in the distance. There is no news about Li Er. He is like the stone that sank into the sea, and disappeared without a trace. It's like a mud cow entering the sea. The two had no choice but to go home and report. Got the sad news. Zhang Fengxian sat on the sofa and was stunned. Ruined, all ruined. She's almost in a vegetative state. No crying, no laughing, no trouble, no emotional expression of joy, anger and sorrow. When Xiao Taohong heard this thunderbolt on a sunny day, she immediately jumped up, grabbed Zhou Xiaomei and fought with her: "Okay, Zhou Fox, you are a dead fox, you are lost in the old and the small, are you still human?" When I handed over Dapeng to you, I asked you to teach him to do business, not to ask you to sleep with him in his arms. Now that the head of the family has lost his family, your sin is unforgivable. My own brother wants to have three long and two short, I will fight with you! β
Zhou Xiaomei let Xiao Taohong beat and scolded, and did not fight back, standing still on the ground, letting Xiao Taohong tear and scratch. After enough fighting, the scolding had no strength, and Xiao Taohong naturally stopped her mouth. Looking at Zhou Xiaomei again, her hair was unkempt, her teeth were bleeding, her clothes were untidy, her face was scorched, her face was thin into a large circle, her eyes were big and godless, and her complexion changed from ruddy and delicate to waxy and rough. In the past few days, she has not eaten or drunk, and has been driving around looking for people. Physically, mentally and mentally, he was doubly tormented. Helplessness, self-blame, and remorse. Drove her to the brink of collapse. She bent down and picked up Xiaopeng, pulled Dapeng, and walked out of the door of Li's house with her head.
Xiao Taohong shouted from behind: "Dapeng, you can't go, it's better to stay and find your father." β
"I'll look for it myself." Dapeng said this, didn't even look back, got into Zhou Xiaomei's car and drove away.
Little Peach chased out of the gate, saw that the car had gone away, and angrily scolded her back to the house. really responds to the old saying: I can't help my mother, I sigh for a long time. Zhang Fengxian hadn't come back to her senses yet, and she began to persuade her bitterly: "Sister, don't be angry." Originally, Zhou Fox was not from our family. The first time I entered this house, I declared that I had a boyfriend. It's all my own brother's ghost, and the burden of shaving his head is hot. Zhou Fox is so young and so rich, outside, the men chasing her are not a hundred but eighty, and they can take a fancy to our Dapeng, which proves that our Dapeng is still a character, and she really can't look down on ordinary men. If there is no Xiaopeng, the two of them are quite compatible. It's not right for me to kiss my brother, after the work is done, I should go home with the donkey Hong Shun and the others, and I shouldn't go to Zhou Fox to hang out. This is good, the window paper is pierced, and the face is ugly, how can this be cleaned up? In my opinion, you don't need to be so angry, eldest sister. In the evening, let's go find the thin-waisted woman surnamed Huang in the dance hall, and maybe we will be there for her. β
Zhang Fengxian listened to Xiao Taohong's chatter for a long time, and slowly came back to her senses, Xiao Taohong's analysis was also wrong, the head of the house was not right at all, and he should go home after the project was completed, and his son also married a daughter-in-law, and he was so unobtrusive. Eating flies is his own fault, he is not sentimental, and he can't provoke this commotion. Hey, it's all fate. That's all this weird thing. She said to Xiao Taohong weakly: "Then according to what you said, let's go to the dance hall after dinner, try our luck, if we are lucky enough to find him back, we have to talk about him for a meal, and if I continue to mess around like this, this family must make him make a mess." β
Zhang Fengxian and Xiao Taohong finally found a woman with a thin waist surnamed Huang. At first, the janitor saw that two old ladies were going to enter the dance hall, and mistakenly thought that they were fighting with the comprehensive man in the dance hall, so he said that he would not be allowed to enter. Fortunately, the woman surnamed Huang with a thin waist came out to see off the guests, and Xiao Taohong called her, and then they ran into a piece, and the three of them said a few words outside the door of the dance hall, confirming that Li Er was not here in the dance hall. The woman surnamed Huang said: "Boss Li is very good to my brother, and he has earned more than 200,000 yuan this year." I was trying to take a chance to thank him, and if he was here with me, I would have played for a day or two, and I would persuade him to go home and say that if he hadn't had enough, he could come back and play. I'm not going to hide him and keep him from coming home. It's better to look elsewhere, Boss Li is really not here with me. After saying this, she heard someone call her, and nodded to the two of them and went into the ballroom.
Zhang Fengxian and Xiao Taohong looked around the dance hall, how could there be any trace of Li Erzong? It was cold again, and the snowflakes, urged by the northwest wind, drilled into people's cuffs and necks. Seeing that there was no hope of finding someone, the two were completely deflated and had to go home. Since then, the two have gone out together many times to look for it, but they have found nothing. I can't see anyone alive, I can't see a corpse when I die, Zhang Fengxian is worried, her head is white, she looks gray-haired, and she is more than ten years old. The night washes his face with tears until dawn. Time is still in place, the deceased is like a husband, and two years have passed in a blink of an eye. Li Er still hasn't heard from him. Zhang Fengxian's father, Zhang Longbiao, was invited by Zhang Tieshan's martial arts school to return to the Central Plains to participate in the third anniversary celebration of the martial arts school. Seeing her daughter in such a difficult situation, she was sad in her heart, cherished her daughter, and took her with her when she returned to Nanyang, and let her go out to relax her heart to relieve her sorrows.
Zhang Fengxian drifted on the sea with his father on a cruise ship for four or five days, and finally set foot on the small island where his father settled. Because tourists like the good scenery of the island, in order to enjoy the ocean scenery and taste all kinds of seafood delicacies in the South Seas, most of the people who travel to the island stay on the island for a night. For the needs of the guests, Zhang Longbiao and his wife demolished the fishing house where they lived in the early years. A small inn with 10 rooms and a small hall was built, similar to the farmhouse style in various parts of the Central Plains. During the day, guests can eat seafood in the small hall and enjoy the sea view, or they can take a boat around the island. Zhang Fengxian was afraid of water, so he stayed in the hall to clean up, fetch water for the guests or do some chores, not to make money, but to relax and relieve boredom. Her stepmother was not a few years older than her, and she mainly went out to sea to catch seafood and came back for the guests to taste. Sometimes guests want to go for a ride in the sea, and she sails for them. In addition to speaking the local dialect, she can also speak some English, and she is also fluent in Chinese, all of which were taught by Zhang Longbiao. It was not a task to talk to Zhang Fengxian at all. She likes Zhang Fengxian's daughter very much, she is a small state on the edge, and she is not very particular about etiquette. Not as good as the Central Plains civilization. Zhang Fengxian didn't care about these and followed the customs. Wear the local minority costume sewn for her by her mother. , I really can't see the fake at a glance. The only difference is that the locals are all barefoot and walk around barefoot, Zhang Fengxian can't, her feet hurt when she stepped on the sand with her bare feet. I had to walk around in my shoes. That's the biggest difference between her and the locals.
The sun was shining brightly, and after the storm, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and all kinds of seabirds were flying close to the surface of the sea, sometimes making all kinds of chirping sounds that only they could understand. A few white seabirds also boldly landed on the roof of Zhang Longbiao's house. Zhang Fengxian likes these big white birds very much. I'm also willing to listen to their clicks. She really wanted to catch a few of them and raise them home when she returned north, and listen to them sing beautifully. His stepmother seemed to see Zhang Fengxian's thoughts, and pointed to the big white bird and told her that these were seabirds and were not used to living on land. They eat fish and like to fly and play on the wide sea, and they can't fly away from small places. This bird has a problem, it is used to flying unrestrained, it can't be raised in a cage, and it can't feed it fish every day, it has a strange temper, and it only eats the fish it catches. Zhang Fengxian listened to what her stepmother said, and she was a little lost and unwilling. Birds, birds, how good it would be if you changed to eat corn on the cob, I fed you fat, listening to the sound of the card and the cob every day, how comfortable my heart should be, it's a pity, such a good bird, why doesn't it eat food and only eats fish, it's still not evolved well. She lowered her head and thought about it for a while, and when she unintentionally raised her head, she trembled all over, and she found the man she had been thinking about day and night on the beach not far away, Li Er! This is not a dream, on this small island in the ocean far from the Central Plains, it is nearly 10,000 miles away from my hometown. She rubbed her eyes vigorously and pinched her thigh. There is a feeling of pain. It's reality, not a dream. She saw that the person was Li Er from a distance, and she saw that the person was Li Er up close. Pulled in front of him, he is really Li Er! This is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. Grabbing Li Er's hand, her heart was beating wildly, and silent tears flowed down. She was afraid that Li Er would get away, so she grabbed him and pulled him to her house. It didn't matter if she pulled it, a girl who was traveling with Li Er quit, she pushed Zhang Fengxian away, and shouted loudly: "Who are you, why are you arresting people for no reason?" Guide, guide, come over here and ask what this woman means by arresting people. We spend money to travel, and you have to make sure that our lives are safe."
The tour guide is a young girl, seeing that the tourists and the locals have a conflict, the locals grabbed the members of the tour group and did not let go, hurriedly ran over, and asked Zhang Fengxian in English What happened? Zhang Fengxian couldn't understand what the girl was saying. But what the girl who was walking with Li Er just now said was clear to her. She pushed the guide away, grabbed the girl with her other hand, and asked, "Who are you, why are you with my man, and when did you abduct my husband?" If you don't tell the truth, I'll break you to pieces today. β
When the tour guide heard this, it suddenly dawned on him that the locals could not understand English, but Chinese was quite authentic. Where did she know that Zhang Fengxian was an authentic Central Plains person. She hurriedly changed to Chinese and asked Zhang Fengxian: "Say he is your husband, do you know his name?" β
Zhang Fengxian said: "He is Li Er, he is my man, and I have lived with him for nearly 30 years. Can this still recognize the wrong person? Two years ago, I got lost because of the stimulus, and I don't want to meet here. As he spoke, he let go of the girl, threw himself on Li Er and cried bitterly, and beat Li Er's chest with his fist from time to time.
Li Er was unusual, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said to the tour guide: "I don't know her, I have never been to this small island in the ocean, how can I recognize a local woman as a wife?" I fell off a cliff, I was injured, I lost my memory, I really can't remember the old things, let's go back to the Central Plains. He turned around and took the girl by the arm and left. Zhang Fengxian finally ran into Li Er, how could he let him go lightly. Grabbed Li Er and didn't let go, in order to prove that Li Er was her man, she said to the tour guide: "I am from the Central Plains, and I am also here to play, my father runs a hotel here, and the one in front is, he has seen my man, I don't believe you went over to ask him to recognize him." In addition, my man has a small black mole on the inner left thigh, the size of a mung bean, and he can take off his pants in front of him to check it if he doesn't believe it. β
The tour guide listened to Zhang Fengxian's head is the Tao, every sentence is reasonable, and if you look at her appearance carefully, it is indeed true that she is from the Central Plains. I believed her words, followed her to Zhang Longbiao's hall and sat down, and carefully asked the girl who was traveling with Li Er: "What is the relationship between you and this gentleman?" Is this gentleman's name Li Er? The list of tour group members is written by Yu Li Er. β
"He is the boss of Li Erli, I am her girlfriend, and my name is Little Lotus. However, this eldest sister said that he was a family member of Boss Li, but I didn't know him, and she spoke with Boss Li in a tone of accent. Not necessarily husband and wife. But the two are people of the same place is for sure. β
Zhang Fengxian asked her, "Where did you meet him?" β
"I met on the construction site."
"That's right, two years ago, he was building a highway outside, you said your name is Little Lotus, you don't know me, I have heard of you. Huge with my village on the bulldozerγγγγγγγ β
Little Lotus immediately interrupted Zhang Fengxian's words and said, "What are you doing with those things?" It was Boss Li, and Li Weimin, who pulled me out of the sea of suffering. It was Brother Li who helped me learn to make colorful tofu, so I have where I am today, he is my great benefactor. With tears in her eyes, she recounted the whole story: two years ago in the winter, on the day of the New Year, the sky was full of dark clouds and heavy snow, she rode a motorcycle tricycle to deliver colorful tofu to a supermarket, passed by the hill, and saw a person rolling down the mountain. She stopped the motorcycle and stepped forward to see the man bleeding profusely. At first glance, he looked familiar, but when he was lifted up to take a closer look, although he was dressed in tatters, his face was dirty and his beard was long. But she still recognized him as Li Erli's boss, and immediately dragged him onto the tricycle and pushed him home. The father and daughter carried him onto the kang, covered him with a quilt, and bandaged his head. After a while, he gradually woke up, and gave him a bowl of hot tofu brain. After a while, Li Er slowly opened his eyes. Little Lotus was about to ask him what happened, when suddenly Li Eryi grabbed her hands and shouted: "I'm not your father, you're my own father!" Daddy, Daddyγγγγγ Then he got up from the kang and called his father to Xiao Caohua's father and Xiao Lotus's brother and sister-in-law. Everyone watched him look at him carefully, his eyes wandered, he moved slowly, raised his legs and bare feet, and suddenly ran into the snow in the yard, and went to every corner of the yard to pick up and rummage, and the little lotus ran over and asked him what he was looking for, and he said that he was looking for his father. Seeing that he is in a trance, he can't run out. The little lotus family brought Li Erqiang into the house, gave him regular meals, let him sleep regularly, and forbade him to run out. To prevent accidental escape. The door of the house is often closed, and it is locked when you go out and when you go in. It was spring, and the leaves were green. Spring blossomed, and after the careful care of the little lotus family, Li Er's condition gradually stabilized. I don't read words anymore, my hair and beard have been tied, my clothes have been changed into new ones, and I look in good spirits. It's just that the memory is still not restored. I can't remember anything about what was ahead. Little Lotus asked him to help him with some chores. Colorful tofu was originally created by Li Er. But because of his amnesia, he didn't remember the entire process of making zuΓ² at all. It was the little lotus who taught him hand-in-hand, and later learned. and the little lotus her father has become a very tacit partner. It's just that the annoyance of Zihui is too slow, and when I see whom, I call my father.
Little Lotus has a flexible brain, and the colorful tofu she makes is in short supply, so she came up with a plan and registered a trademark with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and named it Lotus Tofu. And on the Internet to find a chain store, join a 10,000 yuan technology transfer fee, a county only to one, door-to-door to provide technical guidance, no money for the road. In two years, it has successfully developed more than 800 interlocking stores. Xiao Caohua took Li Er to run around the country as a technical guide. Sometimes I can't take care of eating. How can you find a home for Li Er? Li Er's behavior has been a little abnormal in the past few days, she has to put down her work and compensate him to travel to Nanyang to relax, see the sea, eat seafood, and hope that his illness can recover faster. So the two boarded the boat and headed south, but they unexpectedly ran into Zhang Fengxian here. Li Erjing and Zhang Fengxian cried and made trouble, and the love was even more irritable, and he called his father to all the people present. The little lotus found that the sprouts were wrong, and immediately took out a colored string from her pocket. Tie Li Er's wrist, and the other end is tied to his wrist. It's really helpless to do this, Li Erli has long thighs and runs fast, once he escapes, it is difficult to catch up, and many people have to chase and intercept him before he can be captured. In case of accidents, no matter where the little lotus goes, she always carries this small rope with her. Li Er is also strange, as long as he asks the small rope to tie his arm, he will immediately be honest. No more scurrying. With his head down, he followed behind the little lotus, like a schoolboy who had done something wrong. This may be related to being tethered by her mother as a child.
Seeing her former smart husband become what she is now, Zhang Fengxian felt sad and desolate. Silently sat beside Li Er and wiped his tears. Li Er did not appreciate Zhang Fengxian's actions. He moved his body to the little lotus, keeping a certain distance from Zhang Fengxian. Zhang Fengxian saw that the man didn't recognize him, and he was even more painful, bursting into tears, crying silently. Zhang Longbiao was also helpless, shook his head and sighed, left the small hall to help in the back kitchen, and planned to let his son-in-law eat with the girl here.
Zhang Fengxian sat in the small hall and talked to the little lotus, and inadvertently looked up again, and something incredible happened, in the middle of the second group of guests who landed on the island on the passenger ship, he saw two figures who were very familiar, it was his son Dapeng and Zhou Xiaomei! There was also a boy between the two, who was looking around, looking around, looking like he wanted to find a place to shade and rest with the child, Zhang Fengxian hurriedly waved at them, Zhou Xiaomei saw that there were locals waving, or the locals were wearing, and she didn't think it was Zhang Fengxian, so she pulled the child over, and when she came closer and recognized it was Zhang Fengxian, it was too late to dodge. I had to bite the bullet, took the child up the steps and came to Zhang Fengxian, thinking about the master, but when I thought it was wrong, my mother couldn't open her mouth, so she had to blush, hehe, laugh dryly, bent down and picked up the boy next to her, sent it to Zhang Fengxian and said, "This is your grandson Li Runze." Run, called grandma. β
Zhang Fengxian turned around angrily, and Dapeng pulled the corner of her clothes and scolded her. Zhang Fengxian had no choice but to give up. Reach out and take the child and hold it in your arms. She said to Dapeng Zhou Xiaomei and the others: "Who are you sitting over there?" β
When the two looked back, they were shocked and trembled with fright. Hurriedly stepped forward and knelt in front of Li Er, bowed his head and begged for forgiveness. didn't want the two of them to beg for mercy, but Li Er stepped forward to beat his father one by one, not only did the adults scream, but even the grandson Runze in Zhang Fengxian's arms also had a father. This frightened Zhou Xiaomei and Dapeng into shock. The two hands rubbed back and forth, not knowing what to do.
Zhang Fengxian said: "He's crazy, he forgot everything before, and he didn't even recognize me." Only then did the two see that Li had a thin rope tied to his second-hand, and the end of the rope was tied around a girl's wrist. Zhang Fengxian said, just for her to save your father's life, thank her if you want to.
With tears in his eyes, Dapeng knelt in front of the little lotus and gave her a look sincerely. Then he sat across from her and asked her in detail about the whole process of saving her father. I also sincerely thanked her again and again. Little Lotus blushed and was a little embarrassed. She told Zhang Fengxian directly, that is, Boss Li's family is all here, and I will hand him over to you. As for the business between the two of them, she will send some of the money to you when she goes back. also reported the great kindness of Boss Li who rescued her from the sea of suffering. Zhang Fengxian thanked Xiao Lotus on the spot, saying that she didn't want money, Li Er was in her house during the stay, thanks to her care, if it wasn't for your kindness to keep him, it wasn't certain how he would be now. I really don't want money. Xiao Lotus is very righteous and declares that the money must be given, and the right should be the cost of Li Lao's living expenses and medical expenses in the later period. The two were still modestly pushing, and Zhang Longbiao had already brought the finished lobster to the table. Afterwards, a variety of seafood was served for the family to taste.
Li Er lowered his head and just ate the seafood, and he didn't say anything to anyone. is even more reluctant to follow Zhang Fengxian home. Zhou Xiaomei saw that Li Er fell into this remnant scene because of his own bad feelings. My heart was full of chagrin. But she is not obscure, Dapeng is the man she likes, and she and Dapeng have true love. Back then, he and Li Er were just forced to act on the spot. Zhang Fengxian asked about Xiaopeng, and she told her that Xiaopeng's uncle, who was also the brother of her previous dead ghost husband, had no children under his knees, and saw that she was going to remarry, so he left Xiaopeng to inherit the Chen family's business. changed her name to Chen Xiaopeng and took her to live in Shenzhou, Special Administrative Region. I'm in kindergarten this year, and I'll be in the first grade next year. Listened to the arrangement of Xiaopeng. Zhang Fengxian put her mind at ease. She looked at Zhou Xiaomei and Dapeng, then at the well-behaved and obedient grandson in her arms, and then at Li Er who was tied up by a rope. This reality is too cruel and ruthless, to be able to forget the past, for him, it is not a good thing to be unpaid, and forgetting his troubles is also a relief for him. Life, it's all life. Life should be so don't complain. Zhang Longbiao and Zhang Fengxian decided. It was up to Zhang Fengxian to return to his hometown to take care of Li Er's life. Let him slowly recuperate. Dapeng and Zhou Xiaomei immediately received a marriage certificate and are legal husband and wife. went back to live a good life, and the husband and wife knelt in front of their grandfather and swore that they would support the second elder and fulfill their filial piety. Zhang Longbiao nodded yes. The whole family lived on the island for a few days and wanted to return to the Central Plains, and before leaving, Zhou Xiaomei left a sum of money for Zhang Longbiao and his wife. At first, the old man didn't accept it, but after Zhang Fengxian persuaded him repeatedly, he accepted the money. waved his hand with tears and watched his daughter's family return to the Central Plains. Watching his daughter's family of five on the sea wheel, Zhang Longbiao burst into tears, and the old tears were all over the place, in which year and month can the father and daughter reunite? No one can say for sure, Tiannan and Haibei are far away from each other. Thinking of this, I was even more sad and tearful.
