Chapter 35: A Dream Within a Dream
Seeing that Qin Tai and Song Yan were still asleep, Fang Zhong didn't want to disturb them, so he tiptoed into the courtyard, lit a cigarette, looked at the stars in the sky, and couldn't help but feel sad. As soon as he thought of his daughter Fang Jing, he couldn't help but sigh, how could a good person suddenly lose his mind and go crazy!
A breeze blew, Fang Zhong couldn't help but shiver, feeling a little chill down his back, he raised his head and looked at the sky, a bright moon hung high in the sky, cloudless weather, he thought to himself that he was afraid that his family had already slept when he went back at this time, he didn't want to knock on the door in the middle of the night, so he had to go back to the house and lie on the ground. It didn't take long for him to fall asleep again, in the dream, he dreamed that he had returned to his childhood, that innocent age, although he was poor, but very happy, he dreamed that he and his friends in the village went to the river to catch fish, that was the last thing he wanted to remember, but it was a deep lingering picture in his mind.
Li Ran is a well-known talented woman in Chenjiazhuang, who was able to write good articles at the age of ten, and once became a goddess in the hearts of young people in Shili and Eight Villages. Her father works in the mine, and her mother is bedridden all the year round due to a car accident, and there is no one around to take care of her, so Li Ran has been very sensible since she was a child, and the first thing she has to do when she comes home from school every day is to help her mother in the hospital bed scrub her body and ask if she needs anything.
After school that day, Li Ran met Fang Zhong halfway through, Fang Zhong was covered in mud and looked as if he had just come out of the dung pit. I mean...... Puddle.
"Hi, Li Ran" Fang Zhong, who was far away, waved his hand to Li Ran and greeted him.
"Hey, Fang Zhong, have you fallen into a puddle?" Li Ran asked in surprise.
Fang Zhonghan smiled, touched the back of his head and said, "That, I went to the river to catch fish today."
"Is there any fish, where is it, why didn't I see it?" Li Ran pretended to look left and right.
Fang Zhong sighed and said, "Don't mention it, there are no fish at all, the mud is quite deep, I almost can't get out!"
Li Ran sneered, she covered her mouth and said, "Xiaozhong, are you hungry again?" I didn't tell you, if you have difficulties, tell your sister, if you can help you, your sister will definitely help you! ”
Fang Zhong lowered his head, raised his head after being silent for a moment, looked at Li Ran with his pure eyes, stunned, Fang Zhong said to Li Ran: "I don't want to trouble you, I know that my uncle works in the mine, and I have to provide you with education, and my aunt is not in good health, so it is very difficult for you!"
Li Ran smiled and said to Fang Zhong: "My stupid brother, it's not that you don't know my parents' thoughts, our family is just me, and if I get married in the future, our Li family will be broken." My parents don't say it, but I've already guessed what they're thinking, they like you, but you always seem to be deliberately avoiding them, I think you should come to our house more often. ”
"Okay, Sister Ran, I know, I'm sixteen years old, I know everything, but ......" Fang Zhong seemed to recall the things that made him feel unpleasant, and the words stuck in his throat and never continued.
Li Ran blinked her eyes and asked, "Do you think of your uncle and aunt again?" Don't think about it, it's all over, go, go to my house and I'll make you something to eat! ”
Fang Zhong smiled reluctantly and followed Li Ran back to the village quickly.
Li Ran's father had already come home from work at this time, and when he saw his daughter coming back with Fang Zhong, he hurriedly went out to welcome the two in. After sitting down, Li Ran's father hurriedly beckoned his daughter to pour tea, and asked long and short questions, which made Fang Zhong feel a little uncomfortable.
Fang Zhong chatted with Li Ran's father without saying a word, and after a while, Li Ran had already prepared a meal. A plate of cabbage, a plate of peanuts and a few steamed buns, a bowl of porridge, this is a hearty dinner. In normal times, peanuts are definitely a luxury, and they are usually only put on the table when entertaining distinguished guests, but today Li Ran's father seemed to be in a particularly good mood, and he also took out the good wine given to him by his co-workers, saying that he wanted to drink two glasses with Fang Zhong.
Although Fang Zhong had never read a book, he still understood the basic etiquette, and when he saw that he couldn't talk about Li Ran's father, he had to reluctantly agree, saying that he would only drink a wine cup. Who knew that after a sip of old wine, Fang Zhong was as if it was fine, Li Ran's father saw it and poured him another wine cup, this time Fang Zhong was bored again, feeling like drinking boiled water.
Li Ran saw the problem, so she hurriedly signaled her father not to rush to pour the wine first, she handed Fang Zhong a pair of chopsticks, and asked tentatively, "What's wrong with you?"
Through the afterglow of the sunset that came in from outside the door, she could clearly see Fang Zhong with tears on his cheeks. Fang Zhong's life experience Li Ran knows, he said that he has never seen what his mother looks like since he was a child, and when he was very young, his father left again, and since then he has become a wandering orphan, wherever he goes, there is home. The reason why he is reluctant to leave Chenjiazhuang is because there are memories of his childhood.
Fang Zhong realized that he was a little distracted, he hurriedly smiled and said, "It's okay, I just think of the food my dad cooked for me when I was a child, how happy I felt to be able to eat at that time!"
"Silly boy, this is your home, as long as me and your aunt are still here, this will always be your home, whatever you want to eat, uncle will buy it for you, but you have to remember, don't treat yourself as an outsider, come, meet with uncle!" Li Ran's father said righteously with a wine cup.
Fang Zhong smiled indifferently, raised the wine cup and drank it all. Three cups of wine in his stomach, at this time Fang Zhong felt a little fluttering, he had never drunk liquor, he suddenly drank three cups of wine in one go, and suddenly felt as if the heavens and the earth were spinning.
Fang Zhong hurriedly took a sip of tea, waved his hand and said to Li Ran's father: "Okay, okay, uncle, I really can't drink it anymore, can I drink tea?"
"Hehehe...... This child ......" Even Li Ran's mother, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help laughing.
Li Ran divided some meals, brought them to her mother's bed, and fed her bite by bite. At this time, there were only Fang Zhong and Li Ran's father at the dinner table, Fang Zhong didn't like to communicate with others on weekdays, so Li Ran's father found some topics to communicate with him and asked him if he liked Li Ran. When asked about this topic, Fang Zhong suddenly felt a hot sensation on his face, and he hurriedly lowered his head and pretended to drink tea, avoiding Li Ran's father's blazing gaze.
The room was already small, Li Ran's father asked this, and the four people in the room heard it, Li Ran glanced at his father, and said with some indignation: "Dad, what kind of messy questions are you asking, you see that it scares Xiaozhong!"
Li Ran's father smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, let's not be in a hurry to discuss this issue first, even if I say something wrong, I will punish myself with a cup."
As he spoke, he drank all the wine in the wine cup, put down the wine cup and asked, "Xiao Zhong, how does today's dish taste?" What kind of dishes do you like to eat, next time Uncle will cook it himself. ”
"I like to eat fish ......"
"Ahh Fang Zhong felt goosebumps all over his body instantly, and there was a chill on his back, and he sat up suddenly. found that Qin Tai and Song Yan were sleeping soundly, what was going on just now, the plot in the dream felt so real, why did the past that he was extremely reluctant to recall appear in the dream. It turned out that I was dreaming from the beginning and never woke up at all! Fang Zhong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said to himself, "Is it really her?"
