Chapter Twenty-Eight: Lin Zhendong Returns
This day was the day when Lin Xiyin and I agreed to compete, and everyone asked us if we would fight.
I said that hitting her hurt in my heart, so it was better for me to beat myself up.
The crowd laughed.
Lin Xiyin's blushing face was like a rainbow on the horizon.
Hua Rong set up a WeChat group, which included me, Lin Xiyin and Fatty, and he posted a picture in the group, which was scanned and sent with high definition.
It turned out that this was the martial arts secret book that was rotten and condensed into lumps and almost turned into ashes.
Hua Rong said that the swallow Li San hero I overestimated the IQ of later people, which fake swallow Li San did not decipher the meaning of this poem until he died, if I didn't split my thoughts, I am afraid that these treasures and cheats will sleep for I don't know how many years and hundreds of years.
Hua Rong asked us to enlarge the picture as much as possible, and gradually we were able to show some words, densely overlapping together.
It seems that these words cannot be combined into sentences, and more importantly, the internal strength and breath operation diagram cannot be restored, and we can't help but regret it. I'm afraid that the earth-shattering magic skills of a generation of thieves will not be able to participate, but fortunately, Xiyin's father is expected to be released from prison, and we are not too sad.
My kung fu has made great progress, I can fight to a draw with Captain Jin, although I haven't tried again with the fat man Hua Rong, but I know that we are old iron, who is strong and who is weak. But the fat man said he was better than me, and he didn't give it his all that day. But he didn't fight me, he said I was crazy, and I could bite people in a hurry.
With the help of the fat man and Hua Rong, my marksmanship has also improved rapidly, although it is not up to the level of the two of them, but it is already in the range of masters.
I also received the first month's salary when I came to work here, and I didn't do anything serious for a day, but I actually received a salary of 50,000 yuan, and Hua Rong really didn't treat me as an outsider.
Finally, in the evening after a heavy rain, Mr. Lin, Dr. Song, Qian Dehua, and Xiyin's father returned.
Lin Xiyin threw herself into Lin Zhendong's arms and cried.
I also hugged Dr. Song, but the old gentleman's expression was not relaxed, and his eyes were melancholy as if the matter was not going well.
Dr. Song and Mr. Chan said goodbye and went home, and a few of us sat down again.
Qian Zhendong still remembers me, he said that I was a slug at that time, and I always lay at the gate of his compound early in the morning and called Sister Lin'er, Xiyin ran out to find me without eating like a kitten.
I said that I also remember him, when he went to swim in the river, Lin Zhendong's muscles were not comparable to the men in the whole village. And Lin Zhendong is heroic, the whole village has a small four-wheeled family, and every time he goes to the market, he carries a lot of people.
Lin Zhendong always rinses the body clean, and there is no smell of pig manure.
I looked at Lin Zhendong, this man who used to be bold and strong in my eyes has also had a lot of vicissitudes, his face is dull, and his white hair is already full.
We reminisce about the past, and it is very warm and sweet.
Lin Zhendong thanked me for my help, and he looked at me and Lin Xiyin with relief in his eyes.
I don't know why I always feel that the old gentleman has a gloomy expression and a helpless look in his eyes.
Sometimes he would sit in a wheelchair and look somewhere in a daze, and even when someone called him, he didn't react much.
Lin Xiyin is as happy as a bird, she drags Lin Zhendong out to go shopping every night, and I am like a follower who specializes in handing out cigarettes. Lin Zhendong was very polite to me, although he came back, he lived with the old gentleman, and I still lived in the two partial rooms where he lived.
I asked him about the books in the house, and he said that those things were useless, and that he had studied them for half his life, and that he had long been tired of them, and now he was able to put them down, and he was much more relaxed.
He came to the development center and held a meeting for the middle-level and above employees, and he praised Huarong's management and development ability, and hoped that everyone would continue to work hard to create brilliance. He said that he should have gathered with everyone to drink and talk, but he was unwell and could not drink and fight, so he notified the finance department to transfer 600 yuan to everyone in the company, which was considered compensation for not being able to feast. Everyone cheered, and the whole development center was like the annual meeting that day, Li Zongsheng said that here not only the work is decent, the salary is high, and the key boss is humane.
Hu Niu and the fat man are tired of being crooked, he is already good at finding the dragon and not seeing the tail, he actually let Hu Niu take a long vacation and take her to many places. Tiger Girl doesn't know how many Moments of Friends she has to post a day, in addition to eating is buying, and of course, there are also group photos with the fat man squeezing into the same shot.
Hua Rong and Su Rou became friends, and the little girl yelled at Hua Rong to teach her how to shoot and box, and Su Rou learned what to look like.
Seven or eight days later, my dad called me, and he said that tomorrow the roads in the village will be opened to traffic, and people from the town and county will cut the ribbon and ask me to return to the village by nine o'clock tomorrow. I told the old gentleman and Lin Zhendong about it, and they said to go together, and they missed that small mountain village too.
We rushed to my hometown early the next morning, a small village at the foot of Mount Tai, which was full of mountains and hills.
When we came to the entrance of the village, we found that it was already crowded with people, and there were several reporters carrying cameras.
The county magistrate shook my hand and thanked me, and when the circle of people came down, I felt the government's affirmation of me and its ardent expectations for future development. The village chief, the village secretary's face is red, this kind of honor is enough to make them grow faces, the whole village came out to watch, I heard them say that the Chen family's kid is out, which beautiful woman must be his daughter-in-law, it is really enviable.
Of course, I also heard someone say that I became someone's son-in-law and jumped into the dragon gate from then on.
I saw my parents, who were already full of gray hair, and tears welled up in my eyes. I pulled Lin Xiyin to my parents and asked them if they had any impressions, and they shook their heads at the beautiful woman from the city. I told them that this was Ling'er when she was a child, their future daughter-in-law!
My mother grabbed Hee Yin's hand, and her eyes were full of love.
I introduced the old gentleman, Lin Zhendong to my parents, and they all had some impressions, holding hands with each other and telling the past cordially.
When the county leaders knew that Mr. Lao and Lin Zhendong were the real donors, they immediately surrounded Mr. Lao and Lin Zhendong, and the cordiality was like a family.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was completed by the old gentleman and me, Xiyin and the county magistrates, and they told the county magistrate that all this was my Chen Yuan's personal merit.
After the ceremony, Mr. Lin chose a piece of land at the entrance of the village, and he said that he would invest 10 million yuan in the name of Chen Yuan to build a factory, and then build a hope primary school in the name of Xiyuan.
When the people in the village heard that they would invest 10 million yuan to build an agricultural and sideline product processing plant and build a modern hope primary school, they set off firecrackers again.
I walked towards the crowd of onlookers, where my aunt and aunt, my classmates and my local feelings.
They invited me to their house, and I agreed.
At the end of the ceremony, we declined the banquet of the county leaders, and also rejected the leaders' request to come to my house for condolences. I said that these are all things that students who are away from home should do, just to give back to their hometown, not to reciprocate.
Lin Xiyin still remembered the road to my house, and she took my mother's hand back home first.
The house has obviously been cleaned up, and there are already many relatives in my family who are making meals, they are all close relatives who have watched me grow up, although some have conflicts with my family, but at this moment they have put aside their grievances and are polite.
Mr. Lin and Xiyin's father were also very happy, after all, the lively scene and hospitality atmosphere in the countryside are not comparable to those in the city. We had a room full of people eating the unique hospitality dishes of the countryside, chatting about customs and memories of the past, which was very lively.
My dad was dull and unwanted, but knowing that Lin Zhendong was his future in-laws, he kept persuading him to drink and pour wine, and Lin Zhendong actually drank a lot of wine.
Hee Yin eats the pancakes made by my mother, and she says it's still the taste of her childhood.
When the two of us were alone with my mother, I asked Lin Xiyin to call her mother, and Xiyin called shyly: "Mom." "My mom brought out a pair of jewelry with tears in her eyes, and I knew it was my mom's dowry silver bracelet.
My mother said that it was passed down from my grandmother's grandmother's generation, probably hundreds of years, and she brought it to Xiyin, and Xiyin cried. My mother said that this bracelet is very spiritual, and some of the people who have brought it have lived to be more than 100 years old, and the least is in their 90s. Of course, I know that my grandmother is almost 100 years old and still alive.
Hee Yin hurriedly put the silver bracelet on my mouth, and she said that she also wanted me to live a long life. My mother saw that we were in love and sweet, and held our hands together.
After eating, I pushed the old gentleman to take Lin Zhendong, Xiyin, Dr. Song and others to the area where they once lived, which had long been demolished and turned into a small amount of high-quality fertile land in my village, and the old gentleman and Lin Zhendong seemed to go back to 20 years ago, and the scene was embarrassing.
"Xiyin, that is the main gate of your pig farm in the past, I come to call you every day, I'm afraid you won't hear me still lying on the ground and shouting through the crack in the door."
"Haha, Brother Dan'er, you even drilled through my family's ditch to bring me food."
"Well, that time my grandfather and uncle went to sell, and they didn't come back for a few days, but you were starving. I can't hit the door, I can't throw food over, and the wall of your house is really high. ”
The old gentleman and Lin Zhendong glanced at each other, then looked at the ordinary big mound in the southwest, and said leisurely: "Zhendong, we should go back, Chen Yuan, you and Xiyin will stay at home to accompany your parents." ”
My family prepared a lot of souvenirs and stuffed them into the car, and my parents told the old gentlemen to come back often, and the old gentleman nodded and agreed.
After bidding farewell to the old gentleman and his party, I went around with Lin Xiyin, I tied a lot of small animals with dogtail grass for her, and she was still a little girl and pretended to carry it.
On the way, I met many villagers who were doing farm work, and they gave me a bag of apples, a bag of peaches, corn, peanuts, etc., which I couldn't take. They praised Xiyin for her beauty, and it was rare for the eldest lady in the city to have no temper and still love country life, and Xiyin and I were very happy when we heard it.
The next day, a total of 11 million yuan was transferred to the account of the village committee, and I explained that 1 million yuan was used to build a school and 10 million yuan to build a factory, and I gave 2 million shares to the village committee, but the premise was to fully maintain the construction and treat the villagers fairly. In addition, I entrusted Fa Xiaozhao Xiaoshan to be responsible for the construction and operation management of the factory, he studied food processing in secondary school, and has experience in working in large factories, I know him very well, I know him very well, I know that he can be fully competent.
Although I was nostalgic for life in the village, there were too many guests every day, and Xiyin and I were tired of coping, so we returned to Jinan the next afternoon.
Before going back, my mother saw us off with tears in her eyes, and my father carried two freshly slaughtered roosters and a basket of eggs in the car.
The car gradually drove away, the cement road that had just been repaired was very spacious and flat, I saw that the village secretary was paving the curbstone and greenery, and hurriedly stopped the car to shake hands with them, this group of people are very simple and kind, their eyes flashed with the yearning for a better life in the future, I know that their lives will become better and better in the future, and they will love this road and love everything I do.
"Hee-in, thank you."
"Why thank me?"
"Thank you for your love."
"Stupid, be so polite to me, you rescued my dad, then do I want to say a thousand words of thank you to you?"
"Give me your hand,"
Lin Xiyin handed her hand over, and I held it and put it on my lips......
"It's still stupid rooster delicious, it's so fragrant, it's strong!" The fat man yelled with a greasy mouth.
In the evening, the courtyard next to the Qushui Pavilion was filled with a bunch of people.
On the way back from my hometown, the fat man called and blamed me for not inviting him to my hometown, and I said that you have a lot of fun and food in the sea, and you are not bad for the pancakes and green onions in my countryside.
He said he didn't care, anyway, he had to get some delicious food to soothe his aggrieved stomach.
So, these two big cocks were chopped into pieces by me and fried with the help of Aunt Wu and Dr. Song.
One plate is spicy, and one plate is stewed in oil.
The fat man was soon full of chicken bones in front of him, he was not spicy or happy, he could eat meat with his left cheek and filter out the chicken bones with his right cheek, he was really a top perverted foodie!
Dr. Song is more civilized than him, he and Lin Zhendong drank a little wine, exchanging views on medical skills, it seems that Lin Zhendong has a wide range of knowledge, and he also has research on medical skills.
I thanked the old gentleman and Lin Zhendong for their kindness, and the old gentleman smiled and said that it was insignificant, after all, the place where he lived was also regarded as helping his own people.
He asked me which country I liked, and I was baffled.
"Old gentleman, Uncle Lin, tell me that no country will go to our China, the land is vast, the four seasons are distinct, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and other countries have our delicious food?"
"Sir, I like a lot of countries, if I like the most I must be the three Nordic countries, I like lakes, forests, snow and mountains."
The old gentleman nodded: "Yes, yearning for nature, not afraid of hardships and dangers." ”
"Has the gentleman been there?" I asked.
"No, I've never been abroad in my life, and now I want to go out again, it's difficult!" He looked melancholy.
Lin Zhendong took over the topic: "What about you?" ”
Lin Xiyin glanced at me prettyly: "How do you ask this question?" I've been to Japan and the United States, and I've traveled briefly to Singapore, but if I have a favourite, it's the three Nordic countries, especially Sweden and Norway. ”
We both looked at each other and smiled, and we both understood.
Lin Zhendong was silent for a moment: "Okay, there is such a country with the same lakes and forests, with white snow and thousands of mountains, but do you like it in Asia?" ”
"Bhutan?" Lin Xiyin and I shouted in unison!
Lin Zhendong nodded, and he continued: "I have been to this country, although it is a small country, but the scenery is pleasant, the climate is mild, and the mountains and valleys in the territory are beautiful. ”
Hua Rong said: "When I was a soldier, I served in Tibet, and I was quite familiar with Bhutan, Nepal, India, etc., Bhutan is located between China and India, the whole people believe in Buddhism, and the local population is less than one million, so I am no stranger to the Chinese language. ”
The fat man slapped his hands, and his eyes instantly lit up: "It's good to know Chinese, it seems that this Bhutanese Dan is also a descendant of our Chinese, maybe there are fried chicken, sweet and sour tenderloin, braised pork ribs...... Let's all go have fun and Hua Rong will lead the way! ”
I looked at the old gentleman, he didn't speak again since he asked that sentence, I was very puzzled by his abnormal behavior, an eighty-year-old man would not ask this kind of question according to reason, then there must be a reason for him to ask, combined with his depressed and silent performance since he came back, could it be that he wanted to leave Huaxia?
"Dad, did you buy that gem-encrusted dagger that Uncle Kim gave me from Bhutan?"
"Well, Xiyin, although Bhutan is a small country, it worships heroes, is martial and aggressive, but it is very kind in foreign relations."
He took a sip of wine and continued: "Ten years ago, I was on a business trip with your Uncle Kim in Bhutan, and we met the local coronation day, and when we saw archery, wrestling, fighting and other competitions, your Uncle Kim jumped into the boxing ring to challenge, guess what the ending was?" ”
Hua Rong said: "There is no police in this country, social order and national security are maintained by the army, and the quality of their army is still very high. They are ruthless, quick and decisive, and have a sense of a combination of Muay Thai and Sambo. ”
Lin Zhendong nodded again and again: "That's right, the current Bhutanese army instructors are Russians." They are not only good at martial arts, but also good at wrestling. ”
The fat man was so anxious that he couldn't help but ask, "Did Uncle Jin win or lose?" ”
"If you want to guess, you can guess, how embarrassing is it to say the answer directly?" Lin Zhendong glared at the fat man and said.
"Then I guess Uncle Jin lost, just Hua Rong said, the army won the championship, Hua Rong's kung fu is not much worse than Uncle Jin."
"Dad, I guess Uncle Kim won, if it comes to wrestling, Uncle Kim's wrong hands will make them suffer."
Hua Rong said: "I also guess Uncle Jin won, and he will definitely beat the audience!" ”
Everyone turned their eyes to me, looking at Lin Zhendong's expectant gaze, I weighed it in my heart and said: "Uncle Jin is heroic and rough, and his image is almost the same as that of Tibetans. ”
Lin Zhendong laughed: "Yes, it is indeed a draw, the opponent's kung fu is also extremely high, and the strength is infinite, and the two sides fight to the extent that no one can get up." But that's not the point, the point is that you Uncle Kim actually stayed in this country for two years because of this fight. ”
Several of us were instantly surprised, and we all put down our chopsticks and waited for Lin Zhendong to continue to explain.
"The person who drew with him is now the highest-ranking general in Bhutan, because of this fight, they have a good impression of each other, this general introduced your Uncle Kim to the king of Bhutan, and the king who survived in this gap will naturally not give up Uncle Kim's talent, so I sincerely ask you Uncle Kim to train the army for them, and perform several special tasks, the scar on your Uncle Kim's face is caused in Bhutan, so the country of Bhutan still owes you Uncle Kim's favor."
"Then why did Uncle Kim choose to come back instead of staying in the country where he was respected?" I asked!
Lin Zhendong pointed his finger at me and said, "You kid, just the tricky you asked." ”
He continued, "There are still two bad practices in the country of Bhutan, one is polygamy and the other is polyandry," he continued.
Before he finished speaking, the fat man grabbed the words: "This is a bad habit, this is heaven!" Polygamy, only the treatment of the emperor! ”
I glared at him, and he knew he had said the wrong thing and slapped himself in the mouth.
"There was a noble daughter who fell in love with your Uncle Jin, so they got married, but they never thought that not long after, this woman would marry another man, and your Uncle Jin felt humiliated and came back in a fit of anger."
"It's fun, it's still popular in this country for women to marry men, I don't know if anyone will take a fancy to me!" I took the spicy chicken in front of this guy's eyes, and this guy was serious.
"Dad, this is a local custom, in fact, it's no wonder that woman, but I didn't expect Uncle Jin to be so angry, and he didn't choose to remarry after returning to China."
I raised my glass and pushed it to Lin Zhendong: "Uncle, do you have anything to say, do you want us to live in Bhutan for a long time?" ”
When the old gentleman heard my words, he sighed and left: I have finished eating, and I want to go back to rest, so Dr. Song pushed his head back into the house.
I felt more and more that the old gentleman had something unspeakable hidden in his chest.
Lin Zhendong picked up his wine glass and clinked glasses with me and drank: "Chen Yuan, it's okay to stay and play soon, after all, there are powerful local acquaintances, and everything is easy to talk about." ”
