Chapter 25: Gluttony

In the next room, three girls slept in the same bed. They slept head to head and foot by foot, already asleep.

Wei Chunhua sat quietly at the head of the bed, her face full of sorrow and gloomy. Thinking about the whispered words that the "little fairy" said to herself before leaving today, she couldn't help but feel dead in her heart, and her thin hands trembled slightly.

When Wei Chunhua was twenty years old, she married from Weizhuang in Taiping Town to Zhangjiakeng Village. A year later, she successfully gave birth to a boy for her husband Zhang Bingxing, and this boy was Zhang Longfei. Zhang Bingxing is three years older than Wei Chunhua, and he loves Wei Chunhua very much and cares for her. The young Wei Chunhua is a first-time mother, and she is spoiled by her husband, so she is naturally happy every day. One day, Wei Chunhua was sitting at the door basking in the sun with the young Zhang Longfei in her arms, and an old Taoist priest in ragged clothes and unkempt hair passed by her door. The old Taoist priest seemed to notice Wei Chunhua, and after looking at her carefully, he stepped forward to talk to Wei Chunhua.

As time passed, Wei Chunhua couldn't remember the situation clearly. But the words that the old Taoist priest said to her before leaving made a deep impression on her. After so many years, the words of the old Taoist priest still linger in her heart. Coupled with the words of today's "little fairy", it made her burst into tears and mourned.

"Six days under Liulang Mountain,

Twenty-nine years on the banks of the Dasha River.

A song of sorrow is inexhaustible,

The stars are slaying and the dragon is flying. ”

Wei Chunhua muttered the words of the old Taoist priest faintly, and her heart was gloomy. Could it be that this is what he was destined to do? It is not my fault that my cheekbones are high and my floor is thin, so why should I have to carry this burden for the rest of my life?

The night slowly faded, and a glimmer of light began to shine through the windows. Wei Chunhua was afraid of waking up a few children, so he gently moved off the bed, felt the black crutches, and pushed the door tremblingly and walked out.

Wei Chunhua's thoughts were repeated, and she stayed awake all night, but she didn't feel a trace of sleepiness at all. She knew that she was getting older and had less and less time to sleep, but it had not been like this in more than thirty years. More than 30 years ago, when her husband Zhang Bingxing left, Wei Chunhua did not close her eyes for several days, and finally ran out of oil.

Although she is old and has difficulty moving, Wei Chunhua is still meticulous in cooking. It didn't take long for Wei Chunhua to cook breakfast. Seeing that the open flame in the stove was extinguished little by little, a trace of inexplicable weirdness flashed on Wei Chunhua's thin face.

At this time, Wei Chunhua suddenly remembered that she didn't hear Zhang Xiaohun's crying for the first time last night. A burst of surprise suddenly appeared on her face, could it really be a miracle?

Wei Chunhua couldn't help but tremble all over his body, and he was also afraid for a while. She tossed through the ashes in the stove with a burning stick, over and over again.

Zhang Longfei also opened his eyelids leisurely and yawned heavily. This was the first time in more than 20 days that he had slept so soundly. Zhang Longfei felt comfortable and comfortable. He looked around and felt in good spirits.

He glanced sideways at Lin Miaoxiang who was lying on the side. Lin Miaoxiang's eyes were slightly closed, sleeping soundly on her side, her delicate nostrils were one by one, and her sleeping appearance was very sweet. Zhang Longfei couldn't help but reach out and touch Lin Miaoxiang's soft face, and then turned over and got up.

Zhang Longfei stretched his waist and yawned and opened the closet. A neatly folded cotton white shirt was placed in the corner of the closet, which was a birthday present from Lin Miaoxiang when Zhang Longfei passed his 39th birthday in April this year. Zhang Longfei has never been reluctant to wear it, and put it in the closet as a baby. Zhang Longfei stared at the brand-new shirt, his heart suddenly moved, and he reached out and took it out.

Putting on new clothes, Zhang Longfei combed his hair beautifully, and then slowly walked to the table and ate breakfast.

"Don't you have to work today?" Wei Chunhua brought the hot steamed bun and put it in front of Zhang Longfei.

"Use, how to use? The project is not over yet? Zhang Longfei stretched out his hand and grabbed the steamed bun, opened his mouth wide and took a bite hard, chewing it with taste.

Zhang Longfei felt that today's steamed buns were particularly delicious, and they were particularly sweet in the mouth. He smacked his mouth, swallowed the steamed bun in his hand in a few bites, and reached out to grab another steamed bun.

"Aren't you afraid of getting dirty in your new clothes?" Wei Chunhua asked casually again.

"Clothes are always dirty, but they can't always be new. I don't have much work today, just open a dormer window. Zhang Longfei drank a large mouthful of porridge, and raised his hand to grab a steamed bun.

Wei Chunhua didn't speak again, turned around and added another bowl of porridge to Zhang Longfei. Zhang Longfei's appetite seems to be particularly good today, and he ate six steamed buns in a row before he gently burped. He ate three times as many steamed buns today as he usually did.

Seeing Zhang Longfei riding a bicycle out of the village, Wei Chunhua sat on the stool at the gate in a daze. Her eyes were blank, her face was blank, and she kept muttering to herself: "Destiny, destiny, is it really only God knows?" ”

The black cat still did not appear, Zhang Longfei stopped, stood on the top of Liulang Mountain and looked around. Zhang Longfei didn't think much about it, and after stopping for a while, he stepped on his bicycle and rushed down the mountain.

Su Limin's villa is nearing completion, and there is only some finishing work left. Wei Guoqiang looked very relaxed today, leisurely lying on the chair with Erlang's legs crossed, looking at his masterpiece with his eyes admired, looking very proud.

In these years, Wei Guoqiang followed Wei Zhongsheng to build a house in the east, west, north and south. He has saved more and more money, and he has more and more experience in repairing houses. Dafan's works through his hands have rarely made mistakes, and there have never been accidents. Wei Zhongsheng also believed in him more and more, and regarded him as his right-hand man. As long as there is a project started, the first person Wei Zhongsheng thinks of is Wei Guoqiang.

As the brother of his family, Wei Zhongsheng knew that Wei Guoqiang was careful and cautious, and he was steady. When the eldest brother Wei Bosheng asked him to build a villa for Su Limin's hometown, Wei Zhongsheng first thought of Wei Guoqiang. It's just that when Wei Guoqiang curiously inquired about the details of Su Limin's family, Wei Zhongsheng looked at him and refused to reveal the slightest news.

"Boss Wei, rest." Suddenly, a voice interrupted Wei Guoqiang's thoughts. He hurriedly turned his head, but saw Zhang Longfei standing behind him with a smile on his face.

"Yo, Phineas is here. Pretty energetic today. With that, Wei Guoqiang sat up straight, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Longfei.

"yes, I'm glad to do so." Zhang Longfei stretched out his hand, then took out the lighter, lit a cigarette for Wei Guoqiang first, and then it was his turn.

"Why are you so happy?"

"Isn't this going to be done? Can you be happy when it's time to settle your salary? As he spoke, Zhang Longfei spit out a smoke ring and laughed.

Wei Guoqiang squinted, turned his head sideways and looked Zhang Longfei up and down. After a while, he said curtly: "I said Brother Fei, you are my second brother's brother-in-law, and you are relatives." In fact, as long as you say it, it can cover your salary for a year. My second brother is not a stingy person. ”

"He's not stingy, and I can't keep my voice down. Eat your own food and sweat your own. I don't want to be rich and rich, it's enough to live in peace. Three acres of thin geothermal kang head, an ancient book to spend the spring and autumn. Then I am already satisfied. ”

"Haha, Brother Fei, you really talk in a way. But there are so few people like you right now. Still, Brother Fei, you're still quite reassuring. Wei Guoqiang praised with a smile.

"Not really. Although we don't have much pursuit, we can't fool around. Speaking of this, Zhang Longfei suddenly seemed to remember something. He hesitated for a moment before continuing: "By the way, Boss Wei, the dormer window is finished today, and I won't have to go to work tomorrow." ”

"What's the matter? Do you have anything else to do? ”

"Nothing else, it's just that the kids are going to start school and I have to prepare for them."

"What are the preparations for the child's school, you are really worried." Wei Guoqiang had never asked about his children's schooling before. When he heard Zhang Longfei say this, he felt very strange in his heart.

Zhang Longfei smiled, and only said after a while: "I may really be this fate." I really don't hide your jokes from Boss Wei, sometimes I take it to heart when our children go to the toilet several times a day, let alone other things. So sometimes I feel like I'm here for our family. ”

When Wei Guoqiang heard this, he immediately burst out laughing, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. "Brother Fei, you are so powerful, little brother really admires it."

Zhang Longfei touched his head embarrassedly and smiled stupidly. He chatted with Wei Guoqiang for a few more words, then picked up his toolkit and prepared to get to work.

At this time, a black "Santana" sedan sped up from a distance, and stopped on the side of the road not far away. Zhang Longfei rarely sees a car, but at first glance he feels very novel, so he inevitably takes a few more looks.

Where the car door opened, Wei Zhongsheng's figure squeezed out of the passenger seat with great difficulty. He hurriedly turned to the back door and respectfully reached out and pulled it open.

A middle-aged man in white clothes and black pants got out of the car. He looked around, and then lowered his head and whispered something to Wei Zhongsheng. At this time, a well-dressed woman with exquisite makeup also stepped out of the car. She followed the man, occasionally raising her eyes to look around. She also seemed to be holding a sleeping baby in her arms.

Wei Guoqiang also seemed to see Wei Zhongsheng's figure, and jumped up from his chair suddenly. He raised his hand and threw away the cigarette butt in his hand vigorously, and trotted all the way up to meet it.

Zhang Longfei saw Wei Zhongsheng nodding and walking over with the middle-aged man, with a flattering face, and immediately felt disgusted. He frowned and thought for a moment, then turned around and walked into the construction site. He didn't want to meet his brother-in-law, let alone say a word to him.
