Chapter 19: Father
When Li Zhendong and the others left, they took all the chestnuts with them. Along the way, I also paid attention to my back, afraid that a few people would not give up and retaliate again. It wasn't until I entered the factory that I was relieved. Wang Bo and the others have always been convinced of Li Zhendong's study. But today it has turned into a cult of Li Zhendong's force. I've been asking to learn from him. When Li Zhendong said that he would get up early and practice hard in the dark, a few people stopped talking. Children love to lie in bed and want to play when they get up, so let's put this first.
When Li Zhendong laboriously carried the large and small bamboo baskets upstairs alone, the little brother had already jumped up first. The little bamboo basket was thrown to the elder brother after carrying it for a while. Li Zhendong had already heard his father's voice at home. I was overjoyed, and I asked my mother last night, why hasn't my father returned yet? It's home today. My father had been on a business trip for many days.
When I entered the door, I saw my father holding my little brother and tying my little brother's little face with the beard on his face. The little brother Xuexue exhaled in pain, and covered his little hands left and right.
The father was dressed in a military uniform, his eyes were bright, and he looked majestic. It is completely inconsistent with the dying father in Li Zhendong's impression in later generations. When he saw his eldest son walk in, he smiled softly. He was strict with the eldest son and more indulgent with the younger son. Li Zhendong just opened his mouth and shouted Dad, so he didn't say anything more. It's strange to say, in front of his mother, Li Zhendong can always find a topic to chat about and make his mother happy. But in the face of his father, he knew that his father's father's same deep fatherly love could not be said even if there were many words. In later generations, after his father left, Li Zhendong went home to eat with his parents twice in three days, and each time he brought a lot of fruit home, and then drank one or two glasses of wine with his father. But the father and son spoke very briefly.
When my mother saw everyone coming back, she began to set the table for dinner. In fact, it was a little late for dinner at this time. However, parents always want to eat with their children. Zhilu said that the two children went to pick chestnuts, and they would return later at noon, and Li Guotang, who arrived home in the morning, waved his hand and said that he was waiting to eat together.
There is no rule of eating at home and sleeping without saying a word. However, the two brothers Li Zhendong didn't talk much. The younger brother is dealing with one of the dishes on the table, stir-fried meat with green peppers. This is the first meal of meat that Li Zhendong has eaten since his rebirth, and this is a few catties of meat that his father bought privately when he found a subordinate in the county seat. It's really not easy. Li Zhendong didn't speak, that was with his father, and he didn't know how to speak?
Li Zhendong, who bowed his head, naturally heard the conversation of his parents in his ears. Zhilu explained the reason why his father extended his business trip. My father had already received a notice to be transferred to a neighboring province, and he had gone to the military region to report. I can only leave after a day or two at home, and this time I will be out of the country for a long time. I can't think of it until next year's Spring Festival. Looking at his father's somewhat excited face, it is estimated that this promotion still makes my father quite happy. However, my father also said with pity that because it had just passed, it would take a long time for the family's military relationship to turn around in order to work steadily. The mother's expression was a little gloomy, and the family was about to separate again.
Li Zhendong saw that his mother was not in a good mood, so he turned his head and smiled, "Mom, Dad went to a neighboring province this time, and we simply took a car to see Dad during the Spring Festival, so it was regarded as a trip!" ”
Wang Lianxiang was amused by her eldest son's words: "How can you have so much money to play?" You don't learn this at school, do you? ”
Li Zhendong raised his head, "Learn this problem, you two don't have to worry, let's think about it for Xiaoxi" The younger brother was eating deliciously, and he talked about himself inexplicably. He glanced at his eldest brother and glanced at his father with a little weakness. Li Guotang looked at his youngest son with a smile, knowing that this son was too playful, and he must be poor in that subject.
At this time, Wang Lianxiang saw the two bamboo chestnuts in the house, and was a little surprised, "Xiaodong, you two picked so many chestnuts today?" ”
After the younger brother finished eating the last bite of rice in the bowl, when he heard his mother's words, he didn't care that the rice was still in his mouth, and muttered, "Mom, Mom, I'll tell you." Li Zhendong secretly shouted badly, but there was no way to stop the little brother from speaking, and he didn't discuss it with the little brother on the way back just now, so he was in trouble. I had to try to open my eyes wide, pretending to be fierce and blinking at my little brother. The younger brother didn't understand the eldest brother's movements at all, and stared at the eldest brother's eyes for a long time before he said hesitantly: "Brother, what's wrong with you, your eyes are cramping?" ”
Li Zhendong almost didn't carry it in one breath, did he have eye cramps? Wang Lianxiang saw the appearance of the two brothers, and she didn't know that there must be something to hide, "Xiaoxi, come here." Tell mom what's going on."
The younger brother also glanced at the eldest brother and saw that the eldest brother had his eyes closed. Oh, the eldest brother really has eye cramps and is resting! Where do you know that Li Zhendong has been suffocated by his younger brother's words.
Walking up to his mother, the younger brother flashed his big eyes, "Mom, we picked the chestnuts in this small bamboo basket." This big bamboo basket is to rob someone else. ”
Wang Lianxiang tightened her eyebrows. Accentuated tone: "Robbed? ”
Li Zhendong only felt that his face was full of black lines, and there were crows flying overhead, and just when he flew over, a big one fell.
Li Guotang was also a little surprised, robbed it? Let's hear what's going on.
Still, it's okay. followed the younger brother and said, "When we went home today, someone wanted to snatch my chestnuts, but I didn't give them, and the man pushed me to the ground, and my brother fought with others and knocked them all down, and when we left, we took all the chestnuts from others, and they robbed them anyway." ”
That's what happened. Wang Lianxiang touched her little brother's head, "Where is the injury?" The little brother shook his head, "No, Mom, my brother knocked down all four of them."
Wang Lianxiang glared at Li Zhendong, "Fighting again, didn't you tell you that you can't fight?" ”
Li Zhendong defended, "Didn't I do it when I saw my little brother being beaten? "Immediately shift the target" Dad, what did you bring with us this time?" ”
This took effect, and the younger brother immediately ran to his father's side and did not speak to his mother again. Wang Lianxiang didn't think much about it, figuring out how the chestnuts came from. As for fighting, well, when the elder brother gives the younger brother a head, forget it.
Li Guotang looked at his youngest son with a smile, got up and picked up a large travel bag from the table. He didn't take a fight to heart in his heart, so naturally he didn't listen to his youngest son again. But the younger brother Li Zhenxi missed the most critical words and did not explain. This time, the eldest brother hit four adults. According to the thoughts of Li Guotang and Wang Lianxiang, it is common for children to fight with each other. Just win the battle. I didn't expect the eldest son to do it at all, but it was four young people, who were already considered strong men.
Li Zhendong secretly said that it was a fluke, thanks to his own inspiration, he pulled the gift brought by his father, otherwise, if he continued, after his parents knew about the Tao, what would he use to prevaricate?
