Chapter 4: Parting

Captain Wu saw that he had listened to the rumors, so he walked up to Zhang Tianyou to apologize, and at the same time glanced at Zhang Tianming who was standing aside from the corner of his eye.

Zhang Tianming's original plan ended because of the banter of his crazy nephew Zhang Jianjun, and he was also holding back a cloud of anger in his heart.

Eagle Hill Summit......

Zhang Jianguo and Zhang Fugui liked to play on the high mountain outside the village when they were young, watching the scenery and playing, and the reason why the mountain was named Eagle Mountain is because Zhangjia Village has passed down such a legend for generations.

When the ancestors of the Zhang family settled in Zhangjia Village, there were many poisonous snakes in the village, so that most of the villagers in Zhangjia Village were bitten by poisonous snakes and died, but since there was an eagle hovering here on the top of this mountain, the poisonous snakes followed.

Therefore, all the villagers of Zhangjia Village thanked the eagle for saving Zhangjia Village, so they named the mountain Eagle Mountain.

Of course, these legends are only passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation, and no one knows whether they are true or false.

"Fugui, I'm ready to leave, and I don't know when I'll be able to come back," Zhang Jianguo said.

"You... Where are you going? ……… Can't you Zhang Jianguo stay in the village? Zhang Fugui said.

"Rich! A good man should be self-reliant, but he can't be blocked by this small Zhangjia Village! The outside world is still very exciting! I said that you have grown so big, it is time to go out and see the long insights", Zhang Jianguo said carefully.

Zhang Fugui said with a smile to Zhang Jianguo: "Jianguo, although I haven't read or know a few words, I just believe that Zhangjiacun is my only destination, I will never leave Zhangjiacun in my life, and I have to take care of my father Zhang Youcai!" ”

"Alright! Since you have said so, then I will not persuade you, but no matter what the world becomes in the future, your wealth will always be my brother," Zhang Jianguo said.

Zhang Fugui just smiled after hearing this, and then said: "Yes, yes, we are good brothers."

"By the way, Fugui, you must bring the villagers of our village to carry out the responsibility system I told you before, otherwise when will our village be full, and when will a woman marry into our village", Zhang Jianguo said to Zhang Fugui seriously.

After hearing this, Fugui didn't dare to say anything, after all, the responsibility system means that the public land should be divided, and it would be a political mistake to occupy the public land as private land, let alone do it, even if you think about it, it is a sin.

The wind was blowing on the top of Eagle Mountain, and the conversation between Zhang Jianguo and Zhang Fugui made the surrounding atmosphere more and more heavy, two people, you look at me, I look at you.

Zhang Renyi, who was not far away, ran over panting heavily, and after seeing Zhang Jianguo, his whole heart burst into joy, and he coughed a few times and said with difficulty: "Jianguo, your second father Zhang Tianming went to the town to sue you, and your father asked me to tell you, let you leave immediately, don't go back, otherwise you will be caught.........

After Zhang Jianguo heard what Zhang Renyi said, he hurriedly said: "Uncle Renyi, what do you say...... My second dad went to the town to sue me? ”

Zhang Renyi gasped and said: "Founding the country! You are yelling everywhere in the village to have a responsibility system, and when your second father finds out, he will go to the town to sue you! When your dad finds out, let me find you as soon as possible, let you run as far as you can, and it's best not to come back."

Zhang Renyi didn't know if it was because he was nervous, and said that Zhang Tianyou said that it was best not to come back, Zhang Jianguo originally had plans to leave his hometown, but his father Zhang Tianyou also let himself run as far as he could, so Zhang Jianguo made up his mind to leave in a hurry.

When Zhang Jianguo left, he looked at his reluctant childhood friend Zhang Fugui, and shouted at Zhang Fugui from his mouth as he ran: "Fugui...... Rich...... Be sure to remember what I said to you......... Let our village become rich".

Zhang Fugui watched Zhang Jianguo keep running, keep moving farther away, suddenly his nose was sore, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, looking at the figure of his childhood playmate Zhang Jianguo, his heart inexplicably produced a trace of sadness, because he didn't know when Jianguo would be able to come back, and when he would be able to see Jianguo again, maybe Jianguo would never be able to return to Zhangjia Village.

Zhang Jianguo's figure gradually disappeared in front of Zhang Fugui's eyes, Zhang Fugui wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, sobbed a few times and came down from the top of Eagle Mountain, wearing the pair of shabby cloth shoes given to him by his father Zhang Youcai, stepping on the mud and grass in the mountains and running home non-stop.

After Zhang Fugui returned home, his father Zhang Youcai saw that his son Fugui was covered with dust, so he shook the dust off his body with a bamboo broom and let him sit beside him.

"Fugui, are you going to Eagle Mountain again? Is it with the founding of the country? Zhang Youcai asked.

Zhang Fugui didn't tell the truth this time, he just admitted that he went to Eagle Mountain alone, and didn't see anything Jianguo, his father Zhang Youcai knew that his son Fugui didn't want him to worry, because everyone in the village was looking for Jianguo, if he told his father that he was with Jianguo just now, it would be a betrayal of his friends, in order to say a more moderate statement, Zhang Fugui only coaxed his father to say that he was alone in Eagle Mountain but did not mention Zhang Jianguo.

Zhang Youcai always believed that his son never lied, so he no longer delved into it, and continued to open his cigarette pouch and put some dry tobacco to light and smoke, this smell of tobacco made Fugui a little unbearable, Fugui grew up and became sensible, so he opened the door alone and walked to the stone barrier outside the door and sat up, so that his father Zhang Youcai stayed in the house alone and was addicted to smoking.

Zhang Fugui sat alone on the stone ridge outside the door, crossed Erlang's legs, looked at the Eagle Mountain outside the village, and remembered what Jianguo said to him when he left.

Zhang Fugui felt that what Jianguo said was somewhat reasonable, but if the responsibility system was revealed, it would be a matter of being arrested and criticized, after all, his father Zhang Youcai had joined the army and fought when he was young, and this political root can be red! If he messed up, then his father Zhang Youcai's face would also be ruined, and he would be ashamed of his ancestors, so he gritted his teeth and sighed, and then stopped thinking deeply.

After a few days like this, the weather was sunny and mild, blowing the spring breeze in April, and the people in the village were hurriedly preparing to go to the Yanjia Commune to catch the market, Zhang Fugui also followed his father Zhang Youcai to rush to the commune, and exchanged the hard-earned centimeters for grain stamps and sesame oil stamps, and then took the grain stamps and sesame oil stamps to the small state-run shops opened in the commune to buy and exchange.

The villagers like to go to the commune on the day of the rush, even if they are wearing shabby clothes that are sewn and mended, they have to join in the fun, and they usually look at the old acquaintances who look up and don't look down in the village, but the people who come and go in the Yan family commune are strange faces they have never met, so the people who come to the scene are looking left and right with their eyebrows and smiling.

Every time Zhang Fugui accompanied his father Zhang Youcai to the commune, he would see beautiful girls he had never seen in the village, although from a certain point of view, the girls he saw were only mediocre, but for him who was almost twenty-five years old, these girls were all as beautiful as fairies, and sometimes Fugui looked a little fascinated, standing alone and hesitating stupidly, swallowing the flowing halazi water in his mouth from time to time.

Every time Zhang Youcai saw Fugui standing motionless, stupidly looking at the girl who came to the commune, he would say to Fugui in a loud voice: "Look at your unproductive appearance, when your father has saved enough money, he will find you a family business, it must be more beautiful than this."

Fugui was moved by what his father Zhang Youcai said, and he listened and laughed in disbelief, in fact, his father Zhang Youcai was also anxious for his son Fugui, but he said that he had saved money and saved money, and he had saved up for so many years and had no money left, and he didn't know when he would save to let his son Fugui marry his daughter-in-law.

Fugui accompanied his father Zhang Youcai to rush home with the grain and sesame oil tickets exchanged for food stamps and sesame oil stamps, not long after coming out of the Yanjia Commune, he walked to a small forest, and suddenly saw a strong man not far in front of him chasing a young descendant with a face full of pot ashes, the strong man shouted while chasing: "Stop, you thief", the young descendant wearing tattered clothes and face full of pot ashes let him shout and continue to run.

Zhang Youcai saw that the young junior was holding a few flatbreads in his hands, and the strong man was running behind him, Zhang Youcai saw some clues, and hurriedly shouted: "Rich and noble...... Fast...... Stop that thief...... Don't let him run away."

After hearing his father Zhang Youcai's instructions, Fugui rushed up and hugged the thief with the big cake, the thief kept struggling, but because his strength was too small to break free from Fugui, a young and vigorous young man, the strong man ran to Fugui out of breath, bowed, thanked him, and then grabbed the thief and prepared to move.

I saw that the strong man's sandbag-sized iron fist was swung out at once, and when it was about to hit the face of this young descendant, Fugui stopped it with both hands, and the young descendant was suddenly frightened and squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.

"You...... Why are you stopping me...... He stole my bread, and I had to spit it out for him," said the strong man angrily to Fugui.

"I ate a few flatbreads, why beat him again", Fugui responded.

"Young man, you said it easy, for I was reluctant to eat even my own few pieces of bread, and I was expecting to buy some money and some food, so that I could take the food home and make porridge for my eighty-year-old mother! I didn't expect to be eaten by this thief before I could sell it," said the strong man angrily.

Zhang Youcai coughed, pulled his son Fugui's sleeve, and said, "Fugui! Let's go! Don't worry about it, just let him go! ”

Fugui was unmoved, just looking at this young offspring a little pitiful and wanted to take care of this idle matter, this is the first time since Fuguida was born against his father Zhang Youcai's wishes!
