Chapter 20 Visits

Hu Changjun weighed the two bottles of wine in his hand, leaned together at the mouth of the bottle and took a sharp breath, as if he could smell the rich aroma. Xie Shuiqing laughed, "Changjun, if you are reluctant, just change two bottles of bar!" ”

Hu Changjun sighed with emotion: "Only by sending these two bottles of wine can we express our hearts a little!" Put it on. ”

Xie Shuiqing found a bag, put the wine in it, and put two more bags of things in.

Lin Chenggui closed the door of his yard, rolled up his sleeves, and walked lightly to a few hens pecking at the courtyard wall. In a flutter, the two largest and fattest hens were caught. Let Deng Chunhua, who was waiting next to her, tie her feet with a rope and put it in a bamboo basket.

The afternoon sun was extraordinarily strong, but no one cared. The two families converged and walked in the direction of the machine factory. Hu Changjun had already discussed with Lin Chenggui, and took advantage of the Sunday when everyone was resting to visit Li Zhendong's family who rescued people. As for the address of Li Zhendong's house and the specific situation of his family, he also knew about it after special inquiry. After Hu Changjun learned that Li Guotang was a soldier, he prepared to send away the two bottles of good wine he got from the old man.

Hu Changjun and Lin Chenggui walked together, Xie Shuiqing and Deng Chunhua walked together, each carrying something in their hands. The two little girls walked together and muttered, leaving a little boy to pick up a stick and chase butterflies on the side of the road.

The speed of walking is not fast, and it is even slower after entering the factory. After asking for directions a few times, I found the building. The little boy was sweating all over his head and suddenly sniffed, "It's so fragrant!" ”。 Everyone smelled a sweet fragrance wafting over at the same time. Lin Chenggui took the lead and walked upstairs, and saw a boy in the corridor at a glance. He was standing by a small coal stove, turning the contents of the pot with a spatula, and the sweet smell came from it.

Li Zhendong, who was shirtless, glanced at the crowd coming up at the staircase and didn't care. On Sundays, there are often people coming and going, and they don't say that they are looking for Uncle Lei. It's a pity that Uncle Lei went to the hospital recently. The two little girls who were hiding behind the most lull saw Li Zhendong shirtless and took a curious look.

Hu Changjun and Lin Chenggui looked at each other, and Lin Chenggui nodded. A few people watched from the side without speaking. Li Zhendong felt a little strange, it just happened that the sugar fried chestnuts were hot enough time, so he sealed the fire and covered it. Turning his head to look at everyone, "Who are you looking for?" The eloquent Mandarin made everyone suspicious.

Hu Changjun took a closer look at the open room door, yes, it should be here. The boy has short hair and a calm face. However, this Mandarin is not right? Is there a place without a local accent?

Lin Chenggui spoke, "Little comrade, let me ask, where is Comrade Li Guotang's home?" ”

Li Zhendong was stunned for a moment, comrade? How many years has this title disappeared? But he immediately came back to his senses and smiled, "Oh, Li Guotang is my father, and he just had something to do with his mother, how many of you are looking for him?" Come in and sit down. Everyone rushed in, Li Zhendong raised his eyes and saw that there were two little girls, and hurriedly went into the back room to put on his clothes and come out.

Bring a stool and pour a glass of cold boiled water for each person. Only then did he look at everyone carefully. The first two middle-aged people were neatly dressed and quite generous, and one of them was a little younger and dignified. Two middle-aged women, one of them is gentle and beautiful, with a generous posture, and the other is also good-looking, but the temperament is too far behind. The two little girls dodged Li Zhendong's gaze, Li Zhendong was a little surprised, one of the girls was okay, she looked like a delicate face, and the other made people feel terrible. Wearing a dress, a pink and snow-white smooth face, a straight nose, eyes with disgust and joy, and shoulder-length long hair is softly draped, what a delicate and beautiful little girl, well, I didn't expect that there was such a beautiful little Lori in this era. It's a long experience. As for the youngest boy, he was directly ignored by Li Zhendong.

When Li Zhendong was looking at everyone, everyone was also looking at him secretly. Li Zhendong and a few others took a breath and asked with a smile: "How many of your surnames do you have?" Where is the high school? ”

Hu Changjun and the others could no longer suppress the strange and wonderful thoughts in their hearts, is this a child or an adult?

Lin Chenggui was a little confused, "My surname is Lin, I work in the commune, this is Secretary Hu of the commune" Li Zhendong was a little surprised, is the commune related to his own family? But he involuntarily stood up, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Hu Changjun, "Fortunately, fortunately", and then pulled out his hand and shook Lin Chenggui. This is Li Zhendong's instinctive action in dealing with people in later generations. Hu Changjun and Lin Chenggui shook hands with Li Zhendong in a daze, as if they were meeting between bureaucrats. Deng Chunhua is just a housewife, so she may not understand this, but Xie Shuiqing knows that if she doesn't have rich social experience, how can she be so familiar with her actions?

"Are you looking for your father?" Li Zhendong asked, if there is an emergency, you have to find someone.

Lin Chenggui shook his hand, "We are looking for Li Zhendong, the son of Comrade Li Guotang."

This was beyond Li Zhendong's expectations: "Looking for me? "Pointing at yourself. Sure enough, it was him, and everyone said a word in their hearts. It's getting more and more interesting. Originally, I just came to visit, but I didn't expect to meet such a strange child.

Li Zhendong smiled: "Are you mistaken?" We didn't know each other, we never interacted with each other. ”

Lin Chenggui pointed to the two little girls on the side, "The one on the left is my daughter Lin Qingqing, and the one on the right is Secretary Hu's daughter Hu Mei." It's also your classmates, Qiu You fell into the water a few days ago, thanks to you for saving them. The two little Loli stood up and bent down slightly, "Classmate Li Zhendong, Xie Luxie"

So that's what happened! Li Zhendong, who knew the situation, was a little embarrassed. At that time, I also saved the two by mistake, and I just did it. It's not specifically to save people at all, and it shouldn't be thanked by other people's families. However, this situation is not clear, and it can only be recognized.

Li Zhendong muttered two sentences in his mouth: "My classmate? "Look at the two little Lori. Suddenly, I felt a little embarrassed, as if I had done something wrong just now. Seeing everyone's burning eyes, he laughed dryly, "Uncle Hu, Uncle Lin, the sugar-fried chestnuts outside are ready, I'll go get some for my uncle and aunt to taste." The guy finally realized his identity as a child, and quickly changed his words, got up and went to load chestnuts.

Hu Changjun and the others looked at each other, yes, okay! It's back to normal.

Li Zhendong put the sugar-fried chestnuts in a bowl and divided them into several plates and put them on the table. This time, everyone's eyes were all attracted to the chestnuts, which were indeed too fragrant. The little boy could not hold back the hunger in his mouth, passed past his mother, and reached out to take it. Xie Shuiqing said coquettishly, "Go wash your hands." Li Zhendong, as the main family, naturally got up.

Li Zhendong took the little boy into it and scooped water for the child, only then did he look at it, and he looked weird. A little older than the younger brother.

Hu Changjun and the others are naturally not polite, this sugar-fried chestnut makes people appetize when they look at it. Well, it's so fragrant, it's delicious! The two little Loli were very careful, put one in the palm of their hand, and gently pushed it away with their slender jade fingers, and the little boy was different, taking one and biting it into his mouth, with a click. When he saw Xie Shuiqing's way of eating, Li Zhendong was amazed, he was completely elegant and quiet, and he could turn a simple piece of eating chestnuts into something pleasing to the eye. This woman's background is probably a very wealthy family.

Hu Changjun held this chestnut, the leather shell was easy to open, and there were already cross knife marks on the shell. The chestnuts inside are fragrant and sweet in the mouth. It's really delicious. Li Zhendong also got one himself, and asked the little boy, "Little friend, what's your name?" In fact, this is also a lack of words.

"My name is Hu Li," the little boy didn't even raise his head. Li Zhendong opened his big mouth, "Fox? Xie Shuiqing smiled, many people would be surprised when they heard the names of their sisters and brothers. The strength of the force, his sister is coquettish. Li Zhendong took a look at the beautiful little Lori, how apt this name is! Foxy! No wonder!

Of course, Little Lori Hu Mei knew that her name would be misunderstood, and when she saw Li Zhendong's eyes, she puffed up her mouth and looked back fiercely. The baby fat on both sides of the cheek raiser makes the whole little face feel cute and invincible.

Li Zhendong, who turned his face, had no choice but to talk to two middle-aged men. In fact, Hu Changjun and Lin Chenggui are very interested in this sugar-fried chestnut method, because there is no shortage of chestnuts in the town. There are several villages near and far from the commune. But Li Zhendong's words dispelled their thoughts: "This sugar fried chestnut requires a lot of sugar and oil." The two were silent. In this era of extreme scarcity of materials, many things are extravagant hopes for ordinary people. Once in a while, you can. Li Zhendong himself has used up all the sugar hidden at home.

Li Zhendong generously took out his villain book for the two little Loli to read, as for the little boy Hu Li, it was just an addition.

Li Zhendong actually prefers to talk to a few adults. He is not aware of the specific and subtle situation in the current society. Of course, there was also a sense of proportion in the conversation. It's just that the concepts that pop up from time to time still make Hu Changjun and Xie Shuiqing think about it again and again. In particular, the development of the south and the practice of the state dividing the land and contracting it to the households gradually made Hu Changjun sink into thinking. Hu Changjun has more sources, and the discussion of these issues is actually still being debated. In fact, more and more provinces have implemented the division of land into households. Hunan Province has been making arrangements recently. However, the kid in front of him already has his own opinion. One of his words: The people just want to live a good life, and whatever government can make the people live a good life, the people will support him.

Until Li Guotang and Wang Lianxiang came back with Li Zhenxi, Hu Changjun and the others were still thinking. Even the most old-fashioned Lin Chenggui is at a loss, blowing his beard and glaring at some of Li Zhendong's views, but isn't it right to let the people live a good life?

Li Guotang's return broke up a room of messy people. As soon as everyone said what they meant, Li Guotang was calm, but Wang Lianxiang glanced at his eldest son fiercely: This dead child is not afraid of accidents? Younger brother? The little brother has already pounced on the sugar-fried chestnuts.

Hu Changjun and the others were surprised to find that after Li Guotang came back, Li Zhendong was completely 'normal'. Hu Changjun said sincerely: "Representative Li Zongjun, how did you teach this son?" This is Li Guotang's position that Hu Changjun inquired about.

Where did Li Guotang know the twists and turns in front of the road? smiled and said that his son had been exercising since he was a child, and his body was stronger than that of children of the same age, and it was just right to save people.

Chinese people are hospitable, since they come to the door as guests, how can there be a reason to let the guests go without eating a meal? It just happened that Lin Chenggui brought a chicken to kill one, there were eggs at home, and pork brought back, all the green vegetables on the hillside, enough to manage. This meal is so rich that it may not be possible in the thirty nights of the Chinese New Year's Eve! When drinking, the wine brought by Hu Changjun scared Li Zhendong, Moutai for more than seven years! In the early eighties, it was already eighty yuan a bottle, if it was a later generation? How much should this wine cost? Hu Changjun's salary as a commune secretary is only about fifty or sixty yuan, how can he afford such expensive wine? Looking at the poured wine, this is not drinking, this is drinking money! Li Zhendong said silently in his heart.

Before leaving, the two families each gave a small packet of fried chestnuts with sugar. The little brother was still red-eyed and almost cried.

Come at noon, go at night. Two little Lori and a little boy can sense the dullness between adults. Hu Changjun sighed at the night wind: "Are we already old?" ”
