Chapter Twenty-Eight: Reunion
I chatted with my mother very late in the evening, from leaving home to Beijing, and then to Yunnan, and then to Henan to talk about things, but I didn't mention a series of strange things that happened, mainly talking about learning Taoism with Dao Quanzi and practicing in the temple, which was also told to me by Dao Quanzi on the road, and there were some things in me that were inconvenient to tell my family, not because I was afraid that they would know, but because I was afraid of scaring my family.

The next day, just after dawn, I didn't wake up when I heard the sound of my mother cooking in the outhouse kitchen, got up and came out to see my mother was baking me dough cakes, which was my favorite breakfast when I was a child, I didn't stop her, washed my hands and helped sit by the stove and pulled up the bellows.
Many families in the countryside cook in a big pot, there is a bellows next to the stove, a wind to blow into the stove, the flame will be much stronger, my mother is afraid that I will be tired and persuade me, "Don't do it, sleep more, I'll come alone."
"It's okay, Mom, I've grown up, I'm still tired from this bit of work", my mom smiled and didn't stop me, a large cake was pasted in the pot, sprinkled with oil, and the smell of green onions wafted out of the cake was very tempting.
Breakfast was just done, and a pot of millet porridge was boiled, Dao Quanzi came out of the back room and sat down at the table to eat politely, my dad didn't wake up at this time, he drank too much last night, and we didn't call him, so he wouldn't hurt when he slept a little longer.
I haven't eaten home food for a long time, and my appetite is great, so I ate five flatbreads with pickles, drank two large bowls of porridge, and ate one more than me.
The cakes baked at home are very large, they can be as big as the plates used now, and the bread itself is thick, my mother saw that we were afraid that we would not eat enough and went to cook a few sheets, and asked me secretly while eating, "Tianyi, you tell your mother, is it not a good meal outside."
When my dad woke up, it was almost noon, and in the morning I accompanied my mother to work in the fields, and Dao Quanzi went back to his small dilapidated house in Lonely Rock Mountain to take a look, and when he came back, it was dark.
Fortunately, no one came during dinner, and after dinner, my mother took out a small box from the inside of the cabinet, which was the one that Michichiko gave her when I left.
"Mr. Dao, this thing is back to you, there are a lot of things in it, you can take a look."
Dao Quanzi took the box and didn't open it, "Didn't I say it at the beginning, you can use the things in it as you like, this is left to you by Tianyi, why bother to live such a hard life."
"Mr. Dao, my old couple is used to it, although the income is not much, but I don't have to worry about food and clothing, besides, this is your thing, how can we use it indiscriminately."
I looked at the clothes my parents wore and the furnishings at home, nothing changed, in fact, I also inquired, the family is not rich, and now I still owe a lot of money to the village.
I also know the temperament of my parents, and they will never agree to let them take this windfall, and I looked at them and felt sour.
I went home and lived for more than half a month, I went down to the field every day to help my parents work, Dao Quanzi reminded me that I had to leave after a while, before leaving, I and Dao Quanzi did one thing, that is, to take the gold bars to the county gold store and sell them all, and then built a road from the township, all the way into the village.
The roads in the surrounding villages have been repaired a lot, the rich villages directly repair the cement roads, and the bricks are paved without money, like our village is still the dirt road before, and there is no way to leave when it rains, and the family of gold bars does not dare to stay, and finally came up with such an idea, for which the village chief also specially asked the township to make a pennant to give to my family, because it is a road built in the name of my parents.
I waited until the road was repaired before I left, and when I left, I paid off the debts owed by the family, and forced some of the remaining parts to my parents, and when I left the day I couldn't avoid the pain of sad parting, my mother kept crying to send us to the car in the township, my father's eyes were still red, and I saw that the two of them were a lot older in an instant.
On the bus to Tianjin, I made up my mind that I must make a lot of money, and then take my parents to my side, saying that raising children is to prevent old age, but my son is not around me, how can I not make the heartache of being a parent.
I also decided to go to Tianjin, according to Dao Quanzi said that the time was very early anyway, and it was the same wherever I went, and when I thought of Qiangzi in Tianjin, I directly bought a ticket to Tianjin.
It was early in the morning at Tianjin Railway Station, we first had an early breakfast nearby, and somehow we got it, the recent stomach appetite was very long, we ate almost five servings, and those who sold breakfast couldn't help but look at us twice.
I was holding a small note, on which was the address written to me by Uncle Liu, this is the address left in Qiangzi's letter, Yanglou Village, Li Qizhuang, we reversed and searched for a long time to find it, and I don't know how he lived in such a place.
Yanglou Village is not very big, but it is not small to hide a person, I inquired with Dao Quanzi twice and did not find anyone, I said to Dao Quanzi: "Why don't you use a trick to find out?" ”。
He glared at me, "That's just casual play, don't you know it's going to cost spiritual resources?" ”。
"I know, but it's not a problem for us to look for it like this", as we walked to a construction site, which was an unfinished construction building, and there were many workers gathered at the gate of the construction site, wearing hard hats and shouting something, and there was a row of people holding wooden sticks to confront each other, arguing with those workers.
The two of us happened to walk up to me, thinking what this was so lively, so I looked in a few more times, and this time I looked at an acquaintance, and I was happy when I saw it.
In the row of people inside was a fat man, shirtless, with a stick in his hand and shouting at the workers in front of him, and from time to time some swear words came out of his mouth.
Dao Quanzi also saw it at this time, and the two of us stood aside to watch and ask what was going on.
It turned out that these workers were working on this construction site, and the progress of the project looked like it was about to be completed, and the construction site suddenly owed wages for more than four months, and these workers couldn't hold back the strike to ask for wages here, and the work place also found those people inside from nowhere, holding sticks to prevent these workers from going in to make trouble, this is the third time, and a scuffle broke out at any time.
I'm strange, the police don't care about this kind of thing, the man said, he has called the police several times, every time he comes, he can't solve the problem, and the two sides have no physical conflict, and the police are not easy to intervene, so they can only persuade the two sides to disperse, you see that the police have been called for more than half an hour, and the police have not yet come, and it is estimated that the police are also annoyed.
When chatting, those workers didn't know who rushed forward, but they were pushed down by the strong son and their group, which was a fuse, and the two gangs of people instantly scuffled together, and the strong son and their gang all held the guy in their hands, and the workers suffered a lot of losses at first, and finally they were in a hurry, and they all copied the guy from the side and spelled it up.
Dao Quanzi and I have been watching Qiangzi from the sidelines, for fear that he will suffer, but I didn't expect this kid to be good enough, he picked people who were thinner than him to fight, and hid when he encountered a big one, but he didn't suffer any losses, and he took a lot of advantage.
This time it can be lively, there are more and more people on the construction site, and many onlookers have come up, this is also urgent, there are all kinds of guys in hand, shovels, bricks, benches, frying spoons, and those who are ready to use have copied it.
Look at the strong son and their gang gradually couldn't hold on, many people were knocked to the ground by the people at the construction site, these construction site people are quite particular, big leather shoes, rubber shoes kicked straight to the face and body, fortunately did not use bricks to shoot it.
Looking at the strong son again, he also found that the momentum was wrong, and he retreated while fighting, and turned around and ran after forcing a small man back, and Dao Quanzi and I were staring at him, and found that he ran and hurriedly chased after him.
He drilled the alley, jumped over the wall, don't look at the fat look, the body is quite flexible, and there were originally two short ones chasing after him were thrown away, fortunately, I have practiced kung fu in the past few years, and I have a lot of advantages in physical strength, not to mention Dao Quanzi.
I have been running for four or five miles, and I don't know how many turns I have turned, and Qiangzi turned around and found that there was no one before he sat aside and gasped for breath.
Dao Quanzi and I watched not far away, and I thought to myself, how did this kid get mixed up like this, he has gained a lot of weight after not seeing him for a few years. Looking at Qiangzi after resting for a while, he muttered a few more words, probably scolding someone, and turned around and entered a snack bar next to him.
Michichiko and I went to the door of the shop and found him on the corner table next to us, and he was pouring beer into his stomach before the food was served.
To say that this kid's heart is really big enough, at this time there is still a mood to drink, I am so happy, and Dao Quanzi looked at each other and walked over, sat down at his table, he hadn't finished drinking, he was stunned when he saw a person sitting in front of him, and when he saw me clearly, he squirted out a sip of wine, I didn't expect the meeting to be like this, I didn't have time to dodge, he squirted all the wine on me.
