"Yes, that's what you don't fight, no, I only dragged my family back two years ago, and now I'm making an orchard in the village."

Only then did I know that the big black face of daring is Tie Cheng's own son Tie Jianjun, no wonder he can withstand the poplar a few times, the family history, Tie Cheng's fist and foot kung fu is not much worse than my master, but unfortunately, it seems that Tie Jianjun has only learned the skin.

"This is the water that washed the Dragon King Temple, I knew it was Brother Tie, I ......"

Tie Cheng waved his big hand and said categorically: "It's good, it's right!" ”

I sneered, and the poplar scratched his head with a dry smile.

"Don't laugh, how can the old Tie family have such bastard descendants who don't ask right from wrong and blindly protect their shortcomings? It's good to be able to borrow the hand of the Yang family to make him have a long memory, otherwise if he continues with his lawlessness, he will have to be planted in the hands of outsiders sooner or later. ”

"Short? This Gao Bing is the nephew of Big Brother Tie? ”

"Sort of......

Under Tie Cheng's narration, I knew the origin of Gao Bing.

Gao Bing's parents are from Zhengyang Village, but they died early, ten years ago, a big harvest in the mountains, in order to choose a better primary school for their children, the couple scraped together a lot of school choice fees, regardless of the danger into the mountains, once they went, they never came back.

Seven-year-old Gao Bing became an orphan, dropped out of school, raised in the village, grew up eating hundreds of family meals, because of the lack of discipline, developed a blind habit of being a child, and did a lot of things like stealing chickens and touching dogs when he was a child.

But one thing is good, this child remembers his gratitude, but whoever has helped him raise him, he is especially filial.

There is a veteran named Zhao Chunquan in the village and his father is a brother, after the death of his parents, Zhao Chunquan did not take care of him, but unfortunately in recent years, the old injury recurred, the first paralysis in bed, now although it is better, but still can't go out, the daughter-in-law can't stand this sin, and ran away with the old customer who collects mountain goods, all relying on his daughter and the two children of the high soldier.

Because Zhao Chunquan's daughter went to school outside, it was actually Gao Bing who took on the role of the pillar of the family, and borrowed money to do some small business, also to treat Zhao Chunquan, and he never spent a penny, otherwise the people in the village would not be able to protect him so much.

Speaking of this, Tie Cheng sighed: "This person, it's really a hard life, you can't believe it." ”

"You said that this Zhao Chunquan, who eats chaff vegetables, relies on the subsidy given by his superiors and has to provide for his daughter to finish college, this seeing that his daughter has graduated and grown up, and the hard days are about to come to an end, but he didn't think about it, he went out to find a job, and let people be deceived into the wolf's den, and he died of disaster, and only sent a bloody corpse back!"

The more I listened, the more surprised I became, and I couldn't help but raise my hand to interrupt him: "Wait a minute, what's the name of this Zhao Chunquan's daughter?" ”

Tie Cheng frowned and thought for a while: "What's it called?" I don't really remember that. ”

Gao Bing at the door interjected with a slight choked up: "My sister's name is Zhao Yan." ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but glance at the poplar tree, and I felt stunned.

How can it be so coincidental, we came here to find Zhao Yan's father, just now when I saw Tie Cheng, I was still thinking about asking him in my heart to see if he knew which village Zhao Yan was from, but I didn't think about it, I actually ran into him like this!

Tie Cheng saw that my expression was wrong, and he was stunned and asked, "What, do you know Zhao Yan?" ”

Yang Shu and I shook our heads in unison and replied in unison, "I don't know!" ”

What are you kidding, if you let them know that Zhao Yan will die in my hands in the end, and Gao Bing can't steal knives and fight with me?

I explained with a dry smile: "We just feel that Zhao Chunquan is too miserable, and Gao Bing, this kid is benevolent and righteous enough." Well, we're to blame for being reckless, so let them come in and sit down, and they're still wounded. ”

Tie Cheng blew his beard and snorted coldly at them: "Listen, Xiao Linzi is generous, I don't care about you two, and I don't thank you!" ”

The two of them entered the house to thank them, and they walked with their teeth swaying and grinning.

Seeing them sit down with relief, I asked Tie Cheng; "You always say that Zhao Chunquan is a veteran?"

"No, it's the same as you, but a few years before you, I was injured and retired."

"His superiors should give special care in this situation, how could the current disabled soldier end up in this step?"

"Ahem, don't mention it, or say that his life is not good."

Zhao Chunquan was indeed injured and retired, but his injury at that time was not serious, but he fell ill. Unexpectedly, he got vasculitis in the later stage, and he was a stubborn temper, in order to save money, he refused to be hospitalized, and as a result, his condition deteriorated and his legs were amputated, and he became what he is now.

It stands to reason that with the subsidy, Zhao Chunquan's life should be fine, but first, he insisted on providing for his daughter to go to college, and owed a lot of foreign debts, and secondly, his illness was simply a bottomless pit, so that his life deteriorated.

Hearing such a situation, I couldn't help but stand up: "Uncle Tie, I want to go to Zhao's house to have a look." ”

"This ...... It's noon, so it's okay to go, and I'll go back after eating. ”

"No, it's never too late to eat after reading it!"

Seeing that I insisted on going, Tie Cheng didn't stop me, so he simply took Gao Bing with him, and the four of us drove to Zhao's house at the end of the village.

In recent years, the houses in Zhengyang Village have been renovated by the superiors, and they have not only been renovated, but also transformed into central heating and water supply, and the conditions are no worse than those of the buildings in the city. The Zhao family's house is the same, with two new houses with red bricks and steel tiles, and a small front yard planted with thorn rose fruit trees, which is very tidy.

When we entered the courtyard, Gao Bing obviously had the key, but he didn't unlock it, just knocked on the door.

Seeing that I looked at him strangely, he explained with a wry smile: "My dad won't let me, he has to open the door by himself, otherwise he will be angry!" ”

Gao Bing recognized Zhao Chunquan as his godfather, and he always called him Dad.

A moment later, a man in a wheelchair in his mid-fifties opened the door: "You're back, are you frozen?" ”

Immediately, he saw us behind Gao Bing, and a smile appeared on his face: "Uncle Tie, why are you here, these two are?" ”

While he looked at me, I was also looking at him, this man was emaciated, his cheeks were collapsed and his cheekbones were high, his eyebrows and eyes were vaguely similar to Zhao Yan's, his sideburns were already a little gray, but his eyes were still bright, and he looked at people with the unique vigilance of a soldier, but his weak voice revealed his weakness.

He was wearing a whitewashed 65-style military uniform, with four pockets, the 65-style military uniform had no rank identification, and the soldier's two pockets and four pockets indicated that he was a cadre. This kind of military uniform is very strong and not easy to wear, but the collar and cuffs on his body have been worn into raw edges, which is by no means just for frugality, and it is obviously that he is unwilling to take it off.

What really moved me was his trousers, which were a pair of ordinary labor cloth trousers, the difference was that the two trousers were cut knee-length, the broken cuffs were fastened with shoelaces, and even so, one section was empty, sitting in a wheelchair, dangling slightly.

I took the initiative to step forward and stretched out my hands to shake him: "Hello, I am Yang Lin, this is my younger brother Yang Shu, and I am a friend of Gao Bing." ”

Zhao Chunquan shook my hand vigorously, his expression stiffened, and then he smiled meaningfully: "Come in and sit down, it's cold outside." ”

Seeing that he was paddling around in a wheelchair, I hurriedly stepped forward and pushed him into the house.

When I entered the house, it was a stove room, and the cleaning was quite neat, but in the iron pot on the stove, the rice porridge that was so thin that it could shine a human figure still made me feel very uncomfortable.

Pushing him inside, I caught a glimpse of Zhao Yan's portrait hanging on the wall.

There was still a hint of a smile on her pretty face, as if she was glad that I had believed in my words, but the smile outlined by this black and white photo had long since lost its due brilliance, but showed a trace of sadness and sorrow no matter how she looked at it.

I looked away a little ashamed, and saw an old table of eight immortals in front of the kang, a small bowl of salted radishes, and two pairs of empty dishes and chopsticks, but I heard Zhao Chunquan say: "I haven't had time to clean it up yet, so I can make you laugh." ”

When Gao Bing heard the sound, he hurriedly packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the stove room to wash, as soon as he left, the only smile on Zhao Chunquan's face was gone: "Uncle Tie, is it that Xiaobing is causing some trouble, you tell me the truth." ”

Tie Cheng was not good at lying, so he had to laugh dryly: "What's the matter." ”

Zhao Chunquan ignored him and turned to me: "Little brother, you are the public security, right?" What crime did the creep commit? ”

I couldn't help laughing: "Uncle Zhao, don't worry, I'm really just a friend of Xiao Bing, the gun cocoon in my hand was left when I was a soldier, Xiao Bing accidentally fell while riding just now, we just sent him back, don't worry, there is really nothing else." ”

I know that the gun cocoon in my hand and the appearance of Gao Bing limping while walking make this veteran suspicious, don't look at him lingering on the sickbed for many years, this vigilance is melted into his bones, and has not been exhausted by the disease.

Zhao Chunquan was relieved, and the light in his eyes also dispersed: "This kid is stunned all day long, so you have to worry about it." ”

I smiled and said, "It's not right to say that there is nothing else, except to send him, the village chief Tie is also on behalf of the village committee, and he made a special trip to see you." See if you need any help, it looks like the New Year is coming, have you done the New Year's goods at home? ”

Zhao Chunquan simply waved his hand and refused without thinking about it: "I'm fine, I don't lack anything at home, I don't have to worry about the organization, and I can't make trouble for the village anymore." ”

His cold and hard attitude made me not know how to answer for a while.

Tie Cheng couldn't stand it anymore, and was angry: "You just have a hard mouth, every time you do this!" ”

I looked at Tie Cheng, and Tie Cheng was angry: "He is a person, he wants to save face and suffer crimes, every time he sends someone to visit him, he is so good and everything is good, for fear of owing others a favor, for fear of adding a burden to the organization!" ”

As he spoke, he pointed his finger around the room: "But don't look at it, what else is in this home?" ”

Tie Cheng is also a master who is not good at words, but when it comes to righteous indignation, his old eyes are slightly red.

Although they didn't say anything clearly, from the extremely simple room, it can indeed be described as a house with four walls, except for an old-fashioned big-headed TV, there are no household appliances.

Zhao Chunquan looked bitter and wanted to say something, but in the end he only pleaded weakly: "It's good to pay off the account, it's over now, Uncle Tie, don't look for trouble, in front of the two children, what are you talking about!" ”

"What? I just want them to see if my old Tiecheng is the kind of person who talks nonsense with his eyes open! ”

As he spoke, he suddenly dodged and pressed Zhao Chunquan in a wheelchair, regardless of his struggle, he tore open his trouser tube three or two times, rolled it up, revealing his only remaining small leg, only to see that the cut was already ulcerated, and Bai Sensen's leg bones were exposed in the rotten flesh!

Even someone like me, who is used to seeing stumps and broken arms, can't help but gasp.

With such an injury, how could he endure the pain, sit in a wheelchair, and still talk and laugh with us as usual?
