Chapter Thirty-Eight: Sweat and Blood
.. org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the full court cuckoo red!
In mid-May, the weather gets hotter and hotter, and the peppers in the garden are redder and redder.
Liu Qingyan's wish to make bean paste was finally realized, and when she was picking chili peppers in the field, she suddenly remembered that the person who called her little chili had not seen her for a while.
And that person is practicing marksmanship on the martial arts training ground in the middle of the backyard of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau at the moment.
The young man is long, wearing a green shirt, the color is as clear as the sky after the wind and rain, the fabric is thin and soft, the clothes are flying when the body jumps and turns, the light and sparse sunlight can be seen through the warp and weft of the fabric, the light and elegant body seems to rise from the smoke and dust, like a dream, the silver gun dances through the rainbow, even if you don't see its face, the elegance alone is enough to take people.
"The little dart, the head of the dart is back."
A guy from the dart bureau rushed in with a shout.
Shi Lei heard the sound and accepted the move, his starry eyes overflowed with joy, threw the spear in his hand to the guy, and ran forward.
In the flower hall in the front yard of the dart bureau, a middle-aged man in his forties sat in the middle and drank tea.
The middle-aged man's face is very gentle and clear, his body is majestic but not domineering, and there is a Lingyun pride between his eyebrows, which can vaguely glimpse that his young demeanor must be extraordinary.
This person is Shi Wei, the chief scoop of Weiyuan Dart Bureau, Shi Lei's father.
"Father." Shi Lei's voice has not arrived.
Shi Wei picked up the teacup and blew it, and was about to bring it to his mouth, when he heard the shout and put it down, there was warmth in his eyes.
"Father, you're back!"
Shi Lei's figure rushed into the hall like the wind, his breath was slightly panting, and there was a thin sweat oozing out of his face, I don't know if it was from practicing or running, but his eyes were shining brightly, as bright as stars.
Shi Wei looked at his outstanding son and smiled with satisfaction.
"Didn't you accompany your grandmother in Whitewater Village, why did you come back again?"
"My son misses his father, so he wants to come back and see." Shi Lei's expression was a little unnatural, as if he was not used to expressing his feelings so straightforwardly.
Shi Wei was stunned at first, then got up with a long smile, walked up to Shi Lei, patted his son's shoulders vigorously and said, "My son has grown up." ”
"The little stone is sixteen."
"It's time to marry a mother-in-law, guy."
"It's time to get married. Little stone, so many young ladies and girls are chasing you, which one you like, tell your father to go and propose marriage immediately. ”
Dart masters, you joke with every word.
"Uncles, it's a joke." Shi Lei blushed and said in embarrassment.
"Yo, the little stone will be shy."
"Haha, how can my son marry a wife to marry such an ordinary and vulgar woman, this matter is not in a hurry." Shi Weilang laughed.
"Don't be in a hurry at this time, is it the same as you, wait until your twenties, go and grab a girl to come back and get married." A dart master teased.
As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent for a moment.
The dart master realized that his mouth was about to lose his words, and hurriedly closed his mouth.
Shi Lei opened his mouth wide and looked at his father in disbelief.
"Me and your mother, that's two loves, two loves, hehe." Shi Wei explained to Shi Lei with an embarrassed smile that he was exposed in front of his son, and he really couldn't hold his face, and then said to the dart master: "Jiang Ping, after driving for so long, your spirit is still very good, why don't we have a few tricks?" ”
"If you don't come, if you don't come, I have to go back quickly, and after a few months, the mother-in-law and the children in the house don't know if they still recognize me." The dart master named Jiang Ping slipped out as he spoke.
The other dart masters also took the opportunity to leave.
There were only two fathers and sons left in the hall, and after this trouble, the father and son suddenly became much closer.
Shi Lei moved his lips, he wanted to ask his father about the old things, but it was difficult to speak.
Shi Wei stared at Shi Lei's slightly green face, the warmth in his eyes deepened, and his son, who was originally stubborn and arrogant, would actually become soft and gentle.
There was a warm current in his chest, and he smiled and said to Shi Lei: "Son, come." As he spoke, he walked towards the courtyard.
Under a tree in the middle of the yard, two men were washing a horse.
The horse's fur is black and shiny, but its hooves are snow-white, its head is thin and the neck is high, its limbs are slender, its body is slender and graceful, its muscles are full and developed, and it is very tense.
Shi Lei's eyes were instantly attracted by the horse, and the stars in his eyes were shining brightly.
"Father, this is ...... Sweaty BMW? Shi Lei's voice trembled with excitement, and he turned his head to look at his father and asked.
Shi Wei stood with his hands in his hands, nodded with a smile on the corner of his lips, "Exactly, this time I went to the Western Regions, and I walked for several months, and I missed your sixteenth birthday." This horse is a birthday gift for your father. ”
Shi Lei stared at his father, his eyes were a little moist, and he choked up: "Father, this birthday gift...... It's too expensive. ”
"BMW is a hero, and this horse can become my son's mount, so it will not disgrace its reputation."
Shi Wei looked at his handsome and upright son, the frank and proud air in Lang Lang's laughter, rushed into the sky like a beam of white light in the dark night, his son was the best, naturally worthy of all the best things in the world.
"Father, I haven't entered the rivers and lakes, how can I be worthy of the name of a hero." Shi Lei lowered his head slightly and said in frustration.
"Hahaha."
Shi Wei patted Shi Lei on the shoulder and laughed: "Can my Shi Wei's son still become a mediocre straw bag, a pawn of a peddler." The smile gradually narrowed, and he said solemnly: "Giving you this horse for my father naturally has another intention." ”
The father and son re-entered the hall and took their seats.
"Now that you are an adult, you should learn to take over the business of the dart board, and after a while, you will follow the short-distance dart team to go out to experience and experience, and after the wind and rain can support this huge foundation. Twenty-eight rudders, up and down, old and young, will follow you to eat in the future, in the past, your father was strict with you, and for this reason, you must not complain about your father. Shi Wei looked at Shi Lei kindly.
After his beloved wife gave birth to a child, his son was Shi Wei's hope and sustenance, he could do everything for his beloved child, and try his best to give all the best things, but he knew that he could not let him live under the protection of his wings forever, and he had always been strict in discipline, plus he was running around for the dart game, gathering less and leaving more, so that the relationship between father and son was not as close as that of other families.
At this moment, his father's words made Shi Lei feel that he had a heavy responsibility, and he also understood his father's hard work, all kinds of emotions were stirred and intertwined in his chest, his eyes were foggy again, and he hung his head and whispered: "My son is wrong, I misunderstood that my father didn't like my son because of my mother's parents." ”
"Silly boy, you are my own son, how can a father not like you." Shi Wei first shook his head and laughed, then his face darkened, and he sighed and said: "It's a pity that your grandmother said that the countryside is clean, and she doesn't want to come to the city to live for a long time, and she can't get out to accompany her father. ”
"My son knows."
On the same day, Shi Lei bought some fresh fruits and returned to Baishui Village at sunset.
On the pale blue sky, the sunset is like a burning flame, and the rice fields and the smoke willow embankment are still verdant under the sunset.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Shi Lei got off the horse and looked at the familiar scene, thinking in his heart: What is that little girl doing at this time.
Mrs. Shi was busy in the stove room, and when she saw her grandson coming back, she threw down the spatula and ran out, saw the horse tied to the jujube tree, and asked, "Is your father back?" ”
"Well, I'm back." Shi Lei sat down at the stone table, answered casually, and then asked, "Grandmother, how do you know that my father is back?" ”
"If your father hadn't come back, where would you have gotten such a good horse?"
Mrs. Shi walked over and sat opposite, stared at him quietly for a while, and suddenly said, "The people of the Liu family have been here." ”
Shi Lei's eyebrows jumped, "Which Liu family?" ”
Mrs. Shi pursed her lips and said, "What else can there be in the Liu family, the little girl who met the wild boar in the mountains." ”
Hearing this, the corners of Shi Lei's mouth involuntarily rose.
Mrs. Shi leaned her head closer, and the thief smiled: "Tell your grandmother honestly, do you like that little girl?" ”
Shi Lei's ears turned red, and he hurriedly denied it, "Grandmother, don't talk nonsense, how can I like her, but I just think that little girl is more interesting." ”
"Oh, that's right, it's good if you don't like it." Mrs. Shi suddenly realized, and continued: "Recently, the village has been talking about a handsome young man often going to Liu's house, and I am still worried about you, but now it seems to be superfluous." As he spoke, he got up and brushed his clothes, and wanted to go to the stove.
Shi Lei was anxious, grabbed Mrs. Shi and said, "What kind of handsome son, what is he doing at Liu's house?" ”
Mrs. Shi smiled slyly, turned around and said, "Anyway, you don't like that little girl, what do you care about." ”
Shi Lei found out that he had fallen for his grandmother, sat down again, and said disapprerovingly: "Handsome boy, can you still be handsome over me." ”
"Well, I don't know, I haven't seen my grandmother with my own eyes, but the people in the village say that the little boy looks more handsome than you." Mrs. Shi said slowly.
"Impossible, I don't believe it!"
Shi Lei couldn't sit still anymore, his face was swollen crimson, he hadn't forgotten the little girl's eyes when he looked at the handsome guy, maybe he was fascinated by the handsome boy.
Mrs. Shi looked at it in her eyes, smiled secretly in her heart, and comforted: "That girl is still very small, and now she can't come in a hurry, if you really like it, grandmother will help you, and I look at that little girl is also very pleasing." ”
Shi Lei was a little frustrated, gritted his teeth and said: "That little girl has a big heart, I like her, but she may not like me." ”
The fragrance of Wangjiangnan fills the air, and the strong smell is refreshing.
Mrs. Shi's expression was awe-inspiring, looking at the golden flowers and groaning, her black eyes as unfathomable as the deep sea.
Half loud, his voice was as cold as ice: "When she grows up, if she doesn't like you, grandmother will tie her up and marry you." ”
Throwing up his sleeves and going to the stove room, looking at the south of the Yangtze River in full bloom, there are petals falling in waves.
Shi Lei looked at his grandmother's back, and a question arose in his heart: his family is obviously engaged in the dart business, why his grandmother and father are acting like mountain bandits, either kidnapped or robbed.
It wasn't until much later that he learned that the so-called kidnapping and robbery were just two wishes, one willing to fight and the other willing to suffer.
