Chapter Twenty-Four: Shuttles
Every month, the coal mine north of Zhaojialou Village sends a shuttle bus to pass through the village, one is to connect the workers to work, and the other is to pick up the workers who are on leave to go home. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
This car, don't look at the only one round trip a month, but that is also the only car that Zhao Jialou can see back then, although this car has never stayed in this small village for more than a minute, but that is also the dream of countless Zhao Jialou people, sit on it and walk out of Zhao Jialou. To learn about the outside world, to go out into the outside world.
Sitting in this car and going to work at the mine mouth is something that many people are eager for, and Zhao Deguang is now going to rely on his own craftsmanship to realize his dream and become one of the glorious workers on this car!
Therefore, it is understandable how sensational and grand the scene was when Zhao Deguang reported to work for the first time.
On that morning, Zhao Deguang, escorted by his eldest son and wife, took his luggage and a thermos bottle and walked from his home to the place where he was waiting for the bus at the entrance of the village.
According to the unwritten rules of the village, his family knocked on the door of the house as they walked, and then gave cigarettes to the men of the village and tea to the women of the village. In the end, he will run to the village brigade and walk to the entrance of the village with the team secretary, accountant, party members and other "senior cadres" who came to see him off.
On this journey, Zhao Deguang and the others were like snowballing, and there were more and more people around them, until in the end, there were more than 30 people in the team participating in the send-off, in addition to the cadres, even the bare-legged children and some prestige old people were also mixed into the send-off team, but they were not seen...... He is the current village elder of Zhao Jialou.
Of course, his absence does not affect the old Zhao family's "raising eyebrows".
Although Zhao Deguang's family was looked down upon in the past in Zhaojialou, but seeing that people were going to fly on the branches and become phoenixes, every villager's face was also full of joy, and I hope that after this honest man soars in the future, don't forget the poor neighbors in the village.
Therefore, between everyone's happy faces, Zhao Haikun's worried face was out of place and dazzling with the atmosphere.
That's right, Zhao Haikun has been worried since he went home the day before yesterday, he doesn't know how to tell his father about meeting the old fox spirit that night, and he doesn't know how to leave his father if the car that picks up the work comes before twelve o'clock.
Moreover, in rural areas, the words and face of the father and mother often have absolute authority, especially on more important occasions, and the child cannot disobey anything in front of the face of the father.
Therefore, he felt that it would be almost impossible for Zhao Haikun to keep his father, so he thought that he would have to play some tricks to achieve his goal......
And just when Zhao Haikun hesitated in his heart, the shuttle bus that took over the work finally appeared in front of everyone with billowing black smoke.
The village party secretary looked at the car that was getting closer and closer, looked at his watch again, and then told Zhao Deguang, who was holding his luggage and looking forward to it, that the car came early today, and he rushed over before half past eleven.
The suggestion of the old branch secretary made Zhao Deguang very grateful, but Zhao Haikun, who was silent on the side, ...... But it's a complete mess!
There was still half an hour before twelve o'clock! The broken car came, and it was clear that it was against Zhao Haikun! He thought that even if he had ten mouths, it was impossible for him to keep his father for half an hour.
Seeing that there was nothing to be done, Zhao Haikun looked at the smoking car and became more and more anxious, and then he turned his heart sideways!
Just when the dilapidated mine bus was about to come to the villagers of Zhaojialou, Zhao Haikun's legs suddenly weakened, and he yelled "I have a headache!" and fell to the ground, rolled his eyes, and began to convulse non-stop.
This sudden incident surprised the whole village, and everyone thought that Zhao Haikun had suddenly gone crazy, so they rescued him one by one.
Zhao Haikun's pretending to be crazy and stupid achieved good results at first, which made him think that he could leave his father for a while.
But to his great surprise, all that he did was in vain because of the excessive enthusiasm of the village party secretary.
When Zhao Deguang was eagerly pinching people for his son, the village party secretary pushed Zhao Deguang away, looked at Zhao Haiju first, and told him that it was important to go to work, his son was not "foaming at the mouth" of his illness, and his condition was obviously not serious, and the child was no longer shaking, so it should be fine.
In the end, the village party secretary pushed Zhao Deguang into the car and told him not to worry, but if he missed the bus on the first day of work, the director of the mine would blame him, and he might not be able to get this valuable job.
During the conversation of the village party secretary, although Zhao Deguang was reluctant, he could only choose to leave.
But just as his feet were about to step on the car door, his eldest son Zhao Haikun, who was originally crawling on the ground, suddenly jumped up, and then hugged his father's thigh.
Pretending to be crazy and stupid was delayed for less than five minutes, which made Zhao Haikun hurry, he recalled the words of the fox spirit, and got up desperately, and had nothing to do, and could only keep begging Zhao Deguang to stay, no matter what, he couldn't get in the car before twelve o'clock.
Listening to Zhao Haikun's persuasion, everyone was really inexplicable, so Zhao Deguang couldn't get off the stage because of his son's chaos.
The most important thing is that when he asked the child about the specific reason why he couldn't get in the car, the child refused to say anything, which made Zhao Deguang deepen his misunderstanding of his son.
If it were normal, under the children's crying and crying, Zhao Deguang would still be able to get out of the car, but that day was a big day for Zhao Deguang to report to work.
Therefore, in a dilemma, Zhao Deguang was helpless, so he scolded his eldest son for "messing around" and forcibly pulled him away, and then prepared to get in the car and leave.
When the incident happened here, Zhao Haikun had already exhausted his donkey skills, but instinctively, he still wanted to prevent his father from leaving and prevent a possible disaster from happening!
At the last moment, Zhao Haikun ignored the taboo and shouted at his father: "...... What I said is true! You'll die if you get on this train! This is ...... The vixen at the entrance of our village said it!"
Zhao Haikun's words quickly quieted the boiling and chaotic scene.
At that time, although ten years of catastrophe had passed, the shadow of horror was still in people's hearts, and people still had a deep taboo about words like "cow ghosts, snakes, and gods".
Especially Zhao Deguang, who lived in the cowshed, was even more worried because of these words that once asked for his father's life.
Therefore, after Zhao Deguang was stunned for a moment, he taught his son a hard lesson.
After the "snap", Zhao Deguang slapped his hand heavily on his son's cheek, and then shouted angrily: "Boy, are you tired of being crooked? What nonsense!"
