Chapter 23: The Price
In a large compound in the east of Yanjing, there is a small pavilion. There were two old men sitting and standing opposite each other.
The old man who sat down had white eyebrows and a ruddy complexion. The standing old man is described as old and thin, but he is very upright, like a strong pine.
Sitting and watching, he pointed his finger and stood and watched, and said with a smile: "Lao Feng, you can miss this time." ”
Lao Feng rolled his eyes, depressed and angry: "Old Dragon, who would have thought that this stinky boy would get lost by himself, and he would be confused for a while!"
Then the two burst into laughter, and the sound shook the roof tiles.
Long Lao sighed: "Hey, we are all old. ”
"Yes, I haven't been to Yanjing for 20 years, and I'm like a world away, and the changes are so fast!" Lao Feng also sighed: "The little devil in the back, I didn't expect it, fortunately Xiao Fei is fine, I really don't accept the old man!"
"You've worked hard all these years. Long Lao said.
Lao Feng waved his hand and said: "As the servant of the eldest lady, the eldest lady's child is my master, and it should be." ”
Long Lao asked, "How is this kid Xiaofei?"
"Xiaofei grew up under my watch, this child is smart and kind. Lao Feng's words were quite impressive.
Long Lao Zhengse, slapped the stone table with his big hand, his momentum skyrocketed, and shouted: "The Yin family is really too much, don't take my Long family in your eyes, the grievances of twenty years ago still refuse to stop, this is just enough, even frenzied collusion with the Japanese country, this time the Yin family will have to pay the price." ”
After a while, Long Lao sighed and said, "Long Yuan's fifty-year covenant is almost here. I hope Xiaofei can grow up quickly. This generation of the Long family is withering. After another pause, he continued: "Xiao Fei's matter, leave it to Lao Lin for a headache." ”
Lao Feng said proudly: "Don't worry, Old Dragon, Xiao Fei will definitely live up to expectations!"
Immediately, another burst of laughter was heard.
At this time, Zhou Xiaofei was like a good baby, enjoying the service of Sitong's little girl. Sitong peeled a candy for his brother to eat for a while, but he would not give his brother fruit, and later he would beat his brother's leg or blow on Xiaofei's wound. It's a lot of fun.
In fact, Zhou Xiaofei was already able to walk on the ground, he just lost too much blood, and the wound was fine.
But the little girl refused to let him come down, and he could only stay in bed.
Zhou Xiaofei couldn't stay still, so he said to Sitong: "Sitong, how about we go to see grandma?"
Sitong tilted his head and thought about it, maybe after a struggle of thoughts, and said, "Okay, that brother has to go slower, and he has to listen to my command." ”
Xiao Fei said yes repeatedly. The two went to grandma's ward for a while, and Zhou Xiaofei was driven back to rest by the old lady, and specially told the little girl to take strict care and not run around.
Sitong got the holy decree, and he was even more vigorous. He put his brother in bed again before he stopped.
Li Fang and Liu Yun came in, and Zhou Xiaofei found a savior. After Li Fang and Sitong left. Liu Yun said to Zhou Xiaofei: "Why can't you stay still, if you don't go out, it should be no problem." ”
Zhou Xiaofei hurriedly agreed, Liu Yun threw a set of sportswear to him and said, "Change your clothes, I'll wait for you outside." ”
"Why do you need to change your clothes?"
"Take you somewhere. Liu Yun looked back and smiled.
Zhou Xiaofei immediately changed his clothes. followed Liu Yun into the Humvee driven by Liu Yun.
Along the way, Liu Yun roughly said that the third grandfather wanted to see him.
"Third grandfather!" Zhou Xiaofei was a little excited, that was one of the old people he admired.
The car walked for more than an hour, anyway, Zhou Xiaofei was a road blind to Yanjing, and Liu Yun just took him to the place. Of course, it was not so easy to meet the third grandfather, after several sentry posts and meticulous inspections. Finally came to the gate of a courtyard. Why do they like to be hospitalized, Zhou Xiaofei can't figure it out. When it arrived, Zhou Xiaofei hurriedly abandoned the messy thoughts and followed Liu Yun in.
When I came to the courtyard, I saw an old man sitting on a stool with a coffee table in front of him, and a game of chess was placed on the coffee table. The old man saw them come in and beckoned them to sit down. Zhou Xiaofei and Liu Yun shouted before the third grandfather sat down upright.
Lin Lao looked at it carefully for a while, and Zhou Xiaofei said: "It's a bit of a patriotic look, come to Xiaofei and play chess with the third grandfather." ”
Although Dumbo can play chess, it is a stinky chess basket. In this way, game by game, Zhou Xiaofei lost game by game, Lin Lao didn't think he smelled chess, and played for three hours.
Maybe Lin Lao was a little tired and said, "It's old after all." That's all for today. ”
After speaking, he took out a calligraphy and painting tube that had been prepared from the side and handed it to Zhou Xiaofei, and patted Zhou Xiaofei on the shoulder and said, "Do it yourself." Then he waved them away.
Zhou Xiaofei and Liu Yun were on their way back. Zhou Xiaofei rubbed his sore shoulders and said to Liu Yun: "Third grandfather, what kind of dumb is this?" I played chess in the afternoon, and I didn't say anything?"
Liu Yun smiled: "You have to experience it well." ”
"I can't understand it. Zhou Xiaofei was a little distressed.
Liu Yun explained: "The first and third grandfathers saw you with an attitude, which was for some people. The second is to sharpen your temperament. ”
Zhou Xiaofei pondered for a while and said with a wry smile: "It turns out that there are so many Taos here, it seems that I will never be able to learn them." ”
Back at the hospital, Zhou Xiaofei and Liu Yun opened the bamboo tube, and inside was a banner letter. wrote: "The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people." "The eight big characters are vigorous and powerful, sharp and restrained. The single paragraph on the left is: Give Xiaofei. Then there was a name, and the two of them couldn't help but be surprised when they looked at it carefully, it turned out to be the only remaining old-timer and the person's handwriting.
Liu Yun and Zhou Xiaofei were overjoyed, and Liu Yun said: "I will immediately go to the best pasting master to frame it and hang it at home." ”
"Good. Zhou Xiaofei agreed.
Somewhere in Yanjing, there are many high-rise buildings here, because it is almost evening, and the flow of people is crowded. On the top floor of a building, you can overlook the scenery of Yanjing. But the atmosphere in the room is a bit oppressive, and the office is a mess, with clutter scattered everywhere.
The phone rang, and in the corner sat a young man, who was a little decadent at this time, and his face was full of scum. The mobile phone was connected, and an old voice came from the earpiece: "Zhihao, come back." ”
"Grandpa, I'm not reconciled. ”
"That's the price. The old man's voice rose suddenly. Immediately, he said in a low voice: "There is a price to pay for everything, the main thing is whether it is worth it!"
"I think it's worth it. Yin Zhihao roared.
"But you failed. ”
Yin Zhihao was speechless for a moment: Yes, I failed, and there may only be one chance.
"Come back. The old voice came again: "How to lose it and get it back!"
The phone hangs up.
Yin Zhihao woke up: Yes, take back what you lost.
Yin Zhihao stood up, patted the dust on his body, as if patting the past, and walked out of the office proudly.
