Chapter 44: Brother Qiang is gone

It's so late, what is Li Tao doing here? I stopped and withdrew my hand towards Zhai Jiqiang. Come in, I'll open the door for you, I shouted to Li Tao outside the window. Zhai Jiqiang also sat up from the kang, he grabbed the quilt to cover half of his body, and repeatedly threatened me that I must not tell Li Tao about this.

I opened the door, and Li Tao walked in in a hurry, what's wrong? Are you in such a hurry that someone is chasing you? Did you kick in the door of the widow's house so that people could find out? I quipped. Li Tao pushed me away, you get out of the way for me, you just kicked the widow and pressed the door, I looked for Zhai Jiqiang, Li Tao bypassed me and went into the house and said.

Li Tao entered the house and said to Zhai Jiqiang: Brother Qiang, just now your family called me and said that your father was hospitalized with a heart attack and was being rescued, let me inform you, hurry home, your father doesn't seem to be out of danger, your family is afraid that they can't be rescued, so let you go back quickly.

Several of us who have a good relationship with Li Tao have given Li Tao's pager number to our family, asking them to call Li Tao's pager number if they are particularly anxious, and if it is urgent, he will notify us as soon as possible. After listening to Li Tao's words, Zhai Jiqiang jumped from the kang to the ground and began to put on his shoes, and his movements made me feel that the strength of viagra medicine had not passed, and he said while putting on his shoes that I would give me how much money you both have, I will borrow it first, and return it to you, it is so late, it is estimated that I did not return to the car on the grassland, I have to take a taxi back, I took out the extra 500 yuan on my body, this 500 yuan was originally intended to go to the city to buy a leather jacket after a few days of cold weather, and now I caught up with Zhai Jiqiang, so I took it out and gave it to him first, Li Tao is much more generous than me, took out 1,500 yuan directly from his pocket, Zhai Jiqiang took the money handed over by the two of us, picked up a coat, and ran out of the door. ,

It's already so late, don't go, sleep here, I said to Li Tao.

Li Tao looked at me with one eye and said: Why does this sentence sound so awkward? It's like an unserious old lady who stays with a wild man for the night. You get out of the way for me, you are a serious old lady, you can live here if you like to live, if you don't live here, pull down, I sleep alone and it is spacious, I said. But looking back and thinking about what I just said, it feels a little weird. Li Tao still left on his bicycle, saying that he had not spent the night outside, and his family would be worried, and he did not greet his family when he came out. In fact, I can feel that Li Tao does not spend the night here for another reason, he is afraid that I will ask about him as a gambling king, he is afraid that I will be curious, inquire about this matter, then he can't tell me, in fact, this is his worry, I never thought of asking about this matter, I can imagine that Li Tao's heart is very stressed, behind him is Chutian, in front of those gamblers, those gamblers are not easy to mess with, if they know one day that Li Tao has been making trouble and deceiving them, will they let Li Tao go? I think that when the matter is revealed, those gamblers will not dare to go to Chu Tian, so they can only vent all their anger on Li Tao, if Li Tao is useless to Chu Tian, will Chu Tian still defend him? In fact, many times I wanted to remind Li Tao to be careful when he dealt cards in the future, but when I looked back, I was completely overwhelmed, for gambling, I was completely a layman, why should I remind people, last time it was just a coincidence that I bumped into it, and they also gave me a big gift, so that I earned more than 10 minutes of living expenses for several months, I have to be self-aware, can't do those annoying things, so since the last time I met in Guangyi Coal Mine, I haven't mentioned this matter since I returned to school, did not express gratitude to Li Tao. I think this will dispel Li Tao's concerns.

Zhai Jiqiang left for several days without news, I helped him ask for leave, four or five days later, he paged Li Tao, left a phone number, and asked me to call him at 6:30 p.m. We finished school at 6 o'clock in the evening, I walked out of the school gate for a while, there was an IC phone hanging on the wall of the snack shop, I found an IC phone card, plugged in the phone and started dialing.

After the phone was answered, it was Zhai Jiqiang, who was very noisy in the background, and it seemed to be on the street, an IC card public phone booth. How's Daddy? Have you been discharged from the hospital? When will you be back? Hurry back to warm the quilt for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu can't sleep alone, I said. I don't feel right, usually when I joke with him, I haven't finished a word, he has already come back, this time I said so long, he didn't say a word, I seem to realize that the phone is not the time to joke.

After a short silence, he spoke: It was too late the night I came back, there was no train, I could only take a taxi back, but when I came back and arrived at the hospital, my father had already left, and I couldn't see the old man for the last time. We're about the same age, and so are our parents. Even if it is my grandparents, my grandparents are still alive and healthy, so death seems to be far away from me, I don't know how to comfort him at all, and no one has taught me before, how to comfort others when this kind of thing happens, and finally I can only learn the plot in the movie and say: Qiangzi, I don't know how to comfort you, you just mourn and change, stay at home for a few more days, accompany your mother and your sister, and I will tell the teacher tomorrow to help you take a few more days off.

Zhai Jiqiang said: No need to ask for leave, Xiao Bizi, I have two main meanings for this phone call with you, first, I want to ask you for a card number, call the money I borrowed from you and Li Tao before I come back, and return it to you. The second is to tell you that I won't go to school in the future, so you can help me say hello to the teacher. My family's situation is here, so many cows and sheep, my mother alone can't take care of it, my sister is too young, just in the fourth grade of primary school, originally, most of the children on the grassland, after graduating from junior high school, will go home directly to graze, but at that time my dad had to do it, he had to let me go to school and take the university entrance examination, to develop in the city, not to say that the man is so promising, and there is no interest in dealing with cattle and sheep all his life, but now the situation is different, my dad is gone, I can't leave such a big mess, leave my mother alone, Besides, I left my mother and my sister on the grassland, I don't worry, I have luggage and some study books left at school, you rummage through it, you can use it, you can stay, you can't use it and just throw it away, I want to be useless, at dinner time, you help me say hello to those brothers, to tell the truth brothers, I used to hate going to school very much, always thinking about when I can not go, but today I really don't have to go, I really miss school, miss your brothers, I don't know if we will have a chance to meet in this life, I will send Haiyan'er's pager to Li Tao's pager when I go back, and try not to pager when I am fine, and I don't have a landline phone to reply to you on the grassland.

After talking to Zhai Jiqiang on the phone, my heart was sour, during the whole call, almost he was saying that I was listening, because I really didn't know what to say, he was right, from now on, our lives will never intersect again, and we may never meet again in this life. When I returned to the snack shop to eat, I told the others about the phone call between me and Zhai Qiang. The lion king said that there are already several students in their class who do not go to school, and there will be more students who will not go to school at the end of the second year of high school, because the entire high school course is completed in the first and second years of high school, and the third year of high school enters the review stage.

On the second day, I went to the bank to apply for a bank card, and sent the bank card number to Haiyan'er's pager, and I left one more sentence to tell Zhai Jiqiang, as long as I call 1500 yuan, I can return Li Tao's money, I don't want the 500 yuan, I know, Zhai Jiqiang will definitely not only call me 1500 yuan. It didn't take long for me to have an extra 2,000 yuan on my bank card, and I took out 1,500 yuan and gave it to Li Tao.

This year, it was very cold, I hesitated again and again, or went to the bank to take out the 500 yuan, bought a leather jacket, with a big black fur collar, I have liked it for several years, Zhai Jiqiang can't be strong, Lao Mao, moved over and lived with me, he is really a person with too strong male hormone secretion, since he moved over, my small rental house, was cleaned up very neatly, the walls are full of sexy posters of beautiful women, what impresses me the most is that there is a background is a dock, a ship about to set sail, The deck is full of foreign GIs, the main picture is a foreign GI, wearing a hat obliquely, holding a cigarette in his mouth, the buttons of the military uniform are unbuttoned, a long-haired beauty with smeared red lips is kissing goodbye to the GI with her feet crossed, the GI's belt is also untied, and one of the woman's hands is in the GI's pants. The first time I saw this poster, I felt that this soldier went to a place to perform military affairs, and got along with a local woman, and after the mission was completed, the soldier was leaving, and the woman went to the dock to say goodbye.

When I arrived at school on the second day, Li Tao showed me the pager, saying that Zhai Jiqiang called him another pager last night, and I saw a line of words on the pager display screen, which said, Li Tao helped me ask Xiao Bi, who is the senior high school sister he has hugged? The one that made me lose 100 lamb kebabs, 4 beers. Li Tao said that he would just use his landline phone to return when he went home at night, and asked me how I should respond? I told Li Tao, you told Zhai Jiqiang that it was my cousin, hahahahahaha Li Tao squatted on the ground holding his stomach.

After school in the evening, when I was eating at the snack shop, Huang Rong came to me, she was the daughter of Uncle Huang in the front yard of my house, she said that she saw my mother when she went home last week, and my mother sent a letter saying that she missed me and asked me to go home next week.
