Chapter 33 He Wenbin sings a song of contentment

After getting off work, Qiao Zhengqing bought two bottles of wine and snacks and went to He's house, and Yu Lanzhi had already set up the wine and food and waited. Seeing Master Qiao coming as promised, he couldn't stop smiling. As the saying goes, "The more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at it, the happier she becomes." That's true.

He Bingbing introduced him to his parents with a smile, and Qiao Zhengqing respectfully called out, "Uncle, aunt." After a pleasantry, He Wenbin invited Master Qiao to sit down, Qiao Zhengqing humbly let a few words before sitting down, He Wenbin opened the wine bottle and poured a full glass for Master Qiao, Qiao Zhengqing said thank you.

He Bingbing asked with concern: "Is it okay to liquor, do you want to change to rice wine?" ”

Qiao Zhengqing said: "Accompany my uncle, just drink so much." ”

He Bingbing shouted into the kitchen: "Mom, come over and listen to Dad's announcement of the big event!" ”

Yu Lanzhi said: "Don't listen to him, what happy event will he have, I want to stir-fry." ”

She said so, but the person had already come out and sat opposite Qiao Zhengqing with a smile and a careful look.

He Wenbin straightened his chest, his face was serious, and he said aloud unhurriedly: "This afternoon, the cultural and educational system held a rehabilitation meeting to announce the rehabilitation of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases in all political movements since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Principal Liang of the No. 2 Middle School in the city was also rehabilitated, but unfortunately he couldn't hear it himself. ”

Bingbing was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Dad is finally rehabilitated! Congratulations Dad! ”

The four of them clinked glasses happily, He Wenbin drank it all excitedly, and Qiao Zhengqing also dried it up.

Bingbing said: "Today is a good day for Dad, Dad drink more." ”

She poured a full cup for He Wenbin, and then poured half a cup for Qiao Zhengqing. She said, Master Qiao doesn't know how to drink, so you can accompany my dad to drink half a cup more.

He Wenbin picked up the wine bottle and said: "No, I know how much Xiao Qiao has to drink, and he is not inferior to Lao Qiao!" Come, pour it up. ”

After He Wenbin poured a full wine for Qiao Zhengqing, he said to Lanzhi: "Look at the good daughter you raised, the girl is not staying, this is not bad at all, it has only been a few days before she has an external heart!" ”

After speaking, Yu Lanzhi also smiled back and forth at Bingbing and Master Qiao, and his heart was sweet. Bingbing was red-faced, peeked at Qiao Zhengqing, and lowered his head. Qiao Zhengqing smiled awkwardly and secretly glanced at Bingbing from time to time.

He Wenbin saw that Yu Lanzhi was about to get up and go into the kitchen, so he hurriedly stopped her. "Wait, I have two more happy things to announce."

The three of them stopped their chopsticks and stared at his smiling face.

He Wenbin took a big sip. "First, I have been notified to return to work at City No. 1 Middle School next week and continue to be my principal. Second, there is true inside information, Director Qiao's so-called suicide case will be reopened, and the city has officially established a task force. ”

Bingbing was so happy that she almost jumped up, she picked up her wine glass and said, "I'm so happy, I salute Dad and Master Qiao!" ”

Yu Lanzhi smiled at Bingbing and said, "Can't you take it easy?" In the past, I didn't drink alcohol for thirty nights in the Chinese New Year's Eve, but tonight I am like an alcoholic, not just a celebration! ”

He Wenbin was used to seeing the mother and daughter laughing and playing like sisters, and Qiao Zhengqing was present at this moment, so he was afraid of losing etiquette, so he interrupted: "Today, the He and Qiao families are happy, and they should let go of drinking." After more than ten years of grievances, the rain finally cleared, and the excitement when the Gang of Four was smashed two years ago added a little emotion! ”

He Wenbin took a sip of wine and said with great interest: "The vicissitudes of the sea, the white clouds and the dogs, the rapid changes in the world are really breathless. wanted to be demoted from the principal of middle school to an elementary school teacher for no reason, and the grievances in my heart had nowhere to be complained. After years of leisurely activity, I learned a 'song of contentment'. ”

Bingbing said: "Why have I never heard you sing?" ”

Yu Lanzhi said: "He has incomplete five tones, a chaff-eating throat, dare to sing?" ”

He Wenbin said: "This song is not that song, rest assured that it is okay, and you can't sing it indiscriminately." Happy today, I will sing to you: 'Song of contentment, song of contentment, why do you need to sigh in the wall?' There are several thatched huts that shelter from the wind and rain, which is quite embarrassing and knee-friendly. Don't you see that there are still homeless people in the world, what can you do if you sleep in the open sand? Please see through, don't ask for it, the bamboo fence hut is often content, it is the nest of the gods.

Song of contentment, song of contentment, why use Aya Luo for clothes? The cloth clothes also cover the body, and the chest is torn to protect the peace. Don't you see that there are still unclothed people in the world, what can you do if the frost and snow invade the skin? Please see through, don't ask for it, quail clothes are often content, and the courtiers are waiting to be missed.

Contentment song, contentment song, why envy fish and goose for dinner? Vegetable soup is delicious. Glad to be full, moan. Don't you see that there are still people without food in the world, what can you do if the pot is cold and smoke? Please see through, don't ask for it, coarse tea and light rice are often content, and the belly is like the beginning. ’”

After He Wenbin finished singing, he said with great interest: "This song has accompanied me for several years of confused days, as if I have entered a dormant period of drunken dreams and death. People should still be a little mental, otherwise they are no different from animals. Now that it's finally time to say goodbye to the word 'confused', I, an old bone, should do something for others, so as not to disappoint my parents and waste ten years in vain. If this can be done, the word 'contentment' can be considered perfect, and it will not be in vain to walk through this world. ”

Qiao Zhengqing said: "I saw many old intellectuals in the training class, and they were as energetic as my uncle, as if they had changed people. It seems that the state's policy is quite popular, and the four modernizations are not just words, and my father's grievances are just around the corner. ”

He Wenbin pondered for a moment and said: "There is something I have to say, Xiao Qiao has to be mentally prepared. Lao Qiao's case was a shocking case that shocked Sanjiang City back then, for two reasons: First, the confiscated antiques stored in the museum were stolen overnight, and these antiques were originally owned by Mr. Long, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and Mr. Long is a well-known businessman in the country, and the central government attaches great importance to this. The second is that Director Qiao suddenly committed suicide, and all clues were interrupted, and it became a headless case.

I am also interested in painting and calligraphy, and I have had several contacts with your father. I don't believe in the various versions circulating in society, I firmly believe that I can't be wrong, Old Joe is a righteous gentleman, Geng is a person who is almost paranoid, if even he will guard and steal, then there will be no more credible people in the world. Not only me, but everyone who is familiar with Old Joe does not believe that Lao Joe will commit suicide in fear of sin.

In the years that followed, two parties continued to file complaints asking for further investigation and solving the case, one was Mr. Long, and the other was the Qiao family. But in that special environment at that time, who could turn things around? Even today, when the chaos is set right, someone still tells me that it is not easy to reveal the truth of Lao Qiao's case, does Xiao Qiao understand what I mean? ”

Qiao Zhengqing said: "In the past two years, I have begun to understand a little. Manager Xu of Rong Bao Zhai, who was my father's colleague back then, said that the matter was very complicated and involved a wide range of people, and the person in charge of investigating the case at that time was still in the position of city leader. ”

He Wenbin said: "Xiao Qiao must have confidence, there will always be a day when the water will come out." ”

Qiao Zhengqing said: "Actually, I have been secretly investigating in the past two years, and several of my father's old colleagues are helping me. I think the road to revealing the truth will get closer and closer! ”

He Wenbin praised: "Ambitious! ”

Bingbing said: "If Master Qiao needs my help, you must tell me." ”

Yu Lanzhi smiled: "How can you help?" It's nice not to add to the mess. In my opinion, that anonymous letter may have a lot to do with you. ”

Bingbing shouted: "Mom is talking nonsense, why are you pulling me up again?" ”

Yu Lanzhi said: "Xiao Qiao has only been here for a few days, and he has no grudges or hatreds with others, why did he get involved?" Is it because someone has suffered from your coldness and is angry with Xiao Qiao? ”

Bingbing's face was crimson, she looked at Master Qiao, and it happened that Qiao Zhengqing was also looking at her, the two looked at each other, and Bingbing's face became more and more red.

She snorted, "Mom's words make some sense. But how did they know that I was doing that to him? ”

Yu Lanzhi said: "'The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. 'Do you think that little bit of hell can be hidden from others?' ”

Bingbing was stunned for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, it is better to simply make our relationship public and see who dares to talk nonsense behind our backs." ”

Yu Lanzhi said: "What a shy ice girl! Did Xiao Qiao admit it? Did he say he would love you? ”

Bingbing's face suddenly turned red, and Qiao Zhengqing was also very embarrassed, it was not good to agree, and it was not good not to agree.

He Wenbin laughed. "I've never seen you be a mother like this, showing your daughter's appearance in front of others, and you're still an elementary school teacher, it's a loss for you!"

Yu Lanzhi smiled: "It's you who don't know how to be a father, and you blame me!" Is Little Joe someone else? Little Joe is his own person! Today, three pairs of six sides pierced this layer of window paper, and I can often come to drink two glasses of wine with you in the future, aren't you happy? ”

He Wenbin said: "I'm happy, Bingbing is uncomfortable, are you embarrassed?" ”

Yu Lanzhi said: "I'm sorry, I don't know what to do, anyway, I said, what can you do with me?" Ate me? ”

He Wenbin and Yu Lanzhi are a pair of old men who are at odds with each other, laughing and laughing, which is a common occurrence in the He family. It is in line with He Wenbin's character and temper of living in a confused way and being contented, but it is unprecedented to speak so loudly in front of outsiders.

He Bingbing knew that in addition to his father's repeated repetition of this happy event, more importantly, they recognized Master Qiao and were willing to accept him as a new member of the He family. This is a good thing for Bingbing to be happy and satisfied. He Bingbing looked at Master Qiao affectionately, and Qiao Zhengqing also stared at He Bingbing intently, and the eyes of the two were intertwined, as if they were glued with all-purpose glue, and they could no longer be separated.

After a long time, He Bingbing said coquettishly: "Master Qiao, please eat, you're welcome." ”

This coquettish voice of "Master Qiao" sounded like a natural sound to Qiao Zhengqing, which was extremely comfortable, driving away his taboo about the word "Master" without a trace. He felt that only He Bingbing was worthy of calling himself "Master Qiao" in this world, and in a sense, these three words may still be the red ribbon between him and He Bingbing, which brought him a good marriage. From this day on, the long-hidden guilt in my heart for the screenwriter of the movie "Master Qiao on the Sedan Car" has also disappeared.
