I saw that my father was shooting the case, and his heart was not good, and my father was about to lose his temper again, so I quickly got up, "Dad, I haven't had time to introduce you yet!" This is Mr. Wood, whom I met with Nemo while hunting in the moor. ”

"Yesterday I met Mr. Wood again, and he invited me to his house."

Then he said to Wood, "Mr. Wood, this is my father, Shen Shi. ”

Mr. Wood first greeted his father, "Hello, Mr. Shen. I used to think that Gui Gongzi was very talented in shooting, but yesterday I found out that his fighting skills are also very good, and when I see you today, I understand that Billy's kung fu is a family tradition. ”

I introduced Anne to Wood, who smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Wood!" ”

When Wood saw Anne, he looked at her stunned, and did not react for a moment. Anne said hello again, and Wood woke up, nodding hurriedly, the corners of his mouth quirming, as if to say something.

The father asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Wood, do you mean to let the bugs go to be a soldier, to be an Australian soldier?" ”

Wood hurriedly replied, "Yes, Billy has a talent for shooting, and in my eyes he can be a ghost shooter, in Chinese terms, the dragon sees the head but does not see the tail." I talked about Billy, but unfortunately he rejected me for a somewhat incomprehensible reason, Billy himself had to fight for China. Mr. Shen, since you have come to Australia, and your family has become Australian citizens, you should actually be more loyal to Australia than to China. Today, I hope that Mr. Shen will persuade Billy that what I have been ordered to form is a mysterious army dominated by ghost archers, this force is different from conventional troops, I have twelve points of confidence, after this army is completed, it will not do the task of hunting stowaways, it is more like a sharp arrow, only at the critical moment to take the head of the enemy, a fatal blow, with the least cost to turn the tide of the war. Help me persuade Billy. Wood gushed and looked at his father expectantly.

My father looked at me, "Bug, what do you say?" ”

I shook my head: "Father, I don't want to join the army. Even if I join the army, I can only defend my family and country. It is our homeland that we are defending and our China that is defending. ”

This is what I think my father wanted to hear, and I think it was what my father wanted to hear, and he said more than once that he would take me and Anne back to our hometown in the future.

My father slapped the table, stood up, pointed at me and scolded, "Confused. Who are you? You are an Australian citizen, Australia is your home, your country. How do I usually teach you, all those whispers and sage books are read in the dog's belly? All you have to do now is pick up your guns and defend Australia. ”

I heard it in the clouds, my father's reversal was too fast, just now it was still a shame, and it was still snowing, how did it become the defense of Australia again.

My father patted me on the shoulder, "Son, you are different from my father, my father grew up in China, and he naturally thinks more about China, but you are different, you grew up in Australia, and you are an Australian citizen, why don't you have a little affection for Australia in your heart?" ”

He turned to Wood and said: "Mr. Wood, you are right, my son is a little brainless, don't worry, I will persuade him to join the army, didn't you just say that you want to encircle and suppress the stowaways, this is a good opportunity for the dignified Australian boy to defend his family and country." He must join the army, immediately, immediately, follow you to suppress the bandits, if he doesn't go, I will break his dog's legs. Mr. Wood, when are you leaving? ”

"Tomorrow, we'll leave early tomorrow morning."

"Well, I declare that Shen Worm will officially become a soldier under you starting today. Didn't you just say that the soldiers are not very familiar with the wasteland, it doesn't matter. In terms of familiarity with the wasteland, in my eyes, Billy is second, and he doesn't dare to rank first. He loved to hunt since he was a child, and spent his days in the wilderness. You've got the right guide. I'll send him to the barracks early tomorrow morning, okay? Father asked, looking at Wood.

"Yes, no problem." Wood nodded in agreement.

"Well, today Anne and I also have to explain to the child well, let him go to the army, obey the command, abide by discipline, and also need to buy some daily necessities for our son, right?" The last sentence was addressed to Anne.

Anne looked sad, obviously reluctant to let me join the army, she stood up and said to Mr. Wood, "Mr. Wood, Billy has never left me, please take care of him." ”

Wood nodded, "I treat Billy like my own child, don't worry. ”

"Thank you then." Anne said lightly.

Wood looked at Anne, hesitated for a moment, and finally opened his mouth, "Anne, you are very similar to a friend of mine, I would like to ask, are you from England?" ”

Anne smiled bitterly, "Yes, I saw you at first sight. I also know who you're looking for? Anne's tears fell, "But I don't know anything about her. ”

Wood's face was covered with a layer of gray, obviously extremely disappointed, the corners of his mouth twitched, and finally let go of his strong disguise, "If you know anything about her, please tell me, I have been looking for her again for twenty-five years. ”

Anne nodded silently. Wood glanced at Anne again, and turned to leave.

Seeing Wood away, I grabbed my father, "Dad, which one are you singing?" It's too fast to reverse. ”

My father only said, "Go back." Then he beckoned us to eat.

When he was full of wine and food, his father got up to pay the bill, and Piyu said, "Uncle, Anne, I have already settled the meal." ”

Anne smiled and said angrily, "You kid, you shouldn't have come to settle the bill at any time." ”

Piyu grinned and said, "It's okay. ”

Tomoko pouted: "Worm, it seems that he is going to be my brother-in-law." ”

Pi You was embarrassed and glared at Tomoko, "Shut up." Then he said to Anne, "Tomorrow, the worm will be a soldier, Anne, let's go and buy him some necessities." ”

The father said, "It's okay, Annie, you and the two girls go and buy them, and remember not to let the children pay for them anymore." Son, if you send the food with me, I have to explain it to you well, so that you don't have to cause trouble everywhere. ”

I looked at the food in the car, because I was kicked down by Saito, the car rolled to the ground, many fresh vegetables were already covered with dust, and the potatoes bumped badly.

Suddenly became angry, "Dad, I'm going to find that bastard in Saito, he made all the dishes like this, how can he sell them." ”

Father smiled, "Forget it, Saito is very interesting, and if he can't beat him, he bows his head and apologizes, and he also pays for the loss, but as soon as this kid runs, I know that he went to move the rescuers, hmph, I want to see what Japanese masters are behind him." "My father's words were not loud, but they were generous and heroic, and they were very imposing.

"Dad, it's still your cow. By the way, that bucket hat is also very powerful, what kind of method did he use to clean up Saito? ”

The father said, "What do you think is the method?" ”

"I only know that it's very similar to the Baguazhang method."

"Well, that's a very clever technique, I'll teach you when I have time."

"Great! In the future, I will also clean up Saito in this way. ”

The father looked at the cart of rotten vegetables, still a little regretful, and finally gritted his teeth, "It's better to send it over, it's a pity to throw it away." It's a big deal to sell for a little money. ”

My father pedaled the tricycle, I pushed it behind, and the father and son pulled a cart of vegetables all the way.

I was in the back of the car and saw my father bent over his waist and pushing hard.

The day before yesterday, I accompanied my father into the city for the first time to deliver food, but my mind was full of bullets, and as soon as I entered the city, I ran away.

Normally, my father was too strict, and although he never beat me, I was still afraid of him.

Strangely, I was not helping out in the vegetable patch, and I was obsessed with running out to the wasteland to hunt, but I got my father's tacit approval. Many of my neighbors said I wasn't doing my job, but my father taught me everything he learned.

Once upon a time, my father in my heart was a majestic and heroic man, he was a young man with ambition and a promising youth, and before the age of 30, he entered the temple and guarded the sea frontier with Governor Ding.

I have seen my father's previous photos, and I have also imagined my father's figure walking on the streets of Europe, standing on a warship with a majestic appearance, and I naturally think that my father is a hero who stands up to the sky, and heroes will never grow old.

At this time, I was pushing the cart behind the car, and I saw that he was wearing a somewhat gray black top hat, a black cloth coat, and a little loose on his back.

Looking at my father's back, I felt a pain in my heart, heroes will grow old, and fathers will grow old.

What makes my father grow old is not only time, but also pain.

Who would have thought that the enthusiastic Beiyang talents who were full of enthusiasm back then would now flee to Australia and become a vegetable farmer who lives all day long.

What makes my father grow old is not only pain, but also despair.

Every moment he wanted to return to Middle-earth, fight again, and go into battle to kill the enemy, but the waiting day after day, year after year, made him almost hopeless. There is no hope, which is the greatest pain in life.

Unfortunately, I am not a painter, so I can't draw my father's background, and I'm not a writer, so I can't record my momentary emotions in words.

But my father's back was inadvertently engraved into my mind, which is unforgettable.

I noticed my father pedaling towards the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

Unexpectedly, could it be that the vegetables in this hotel were supplied by my father? Eighty percent is.

Sure enough, my father parked the car at the back door of the hotel, told me to wait here, and walked into the hotel myself.

A short time later, my father came out with a thin, withered guy in a chef's suit.

He staggered over and glanced at the food in the car.

"Hehe, Shen, the food you delivered is getting worse and worse."

"Yes, yes, there were indeed some cases today where the car was knocked over on the road when it came."

The man screamed, "What, if you don't throw away the dishes that fall on the ground, you dare to send them to the Crown Hotel, do you think the Crown Hotel is a slum?" ”

The father said, "Mark, this way, next time it must be the freshest, I have sent it all the way away, you can take care of it, just give some food to this cart." ”

Mark smiled, "Shen, I've always taken good care of you, and it stands to reason that your dishes won't be on the countertop of the Crown Hotel at all." Didn't you count it yourself? ”

"Of course there are numbers, so let's do it, this cart of food doesn't cost money, and if you can eat it, you can take it and give it to the people below."

My heart is a little bleeding, this cart of vegetables is more than 1,000 catties, but it costs about 10 pounds.

Mark patted his father on the shoulder, "Shen, I just like you about it, it's interesting." Then you move these dishes to the kitchen. ”

My father answered, put the food on his shoulders, and walked towards the kitchen.

I suddenly felt a pang of sadness, because this was what my father did every day.

He was born strong, but when he came to Australia, he had to live humbly in order to make ends meet.

Force can't defeat him, power can't defeat him, but life easily defeats him.

Seeing my father like this, I naturally couldn't be idle, and I also carried a bag of vegetables and followed behind my father.

We went into the kitchen one after the other, I looked around, I saw the fat chef sitting on his back on a chair dozing off, when I passed by him, I kicked him, the fat chef grinned in pain, he opened his eyes and was about to scold, but found me smiling slightly, putting my index finger to my lips, signaling him not to speak.

When my father went downstairs, the fat chef came over, "Brother, why are you still working as a porter?" ”

I told him, "It was my dad who went down just now, and I didn't expect that he would supply the vegetables you have here." ”

The fat chef suddenly raised his big fingers, "I don't have to say anything about the quality of Mr. Shen's dishes." ”

I glanced at him, "Then why should this car be given for nothing?" Fatty, do you want to eat and take cards? The fat chef smiled embarrassedly, "Which restaurant chef doesn't smoke the oily water, otherwise, your brother and I can't eat so fat, right?" However, don't worry, Mr. Shen's dishes will be indispensable in the future. ”

Perhaps, the cuteness of the fat chef is here, and he speaks the dirty things with a straight and honest attitude, and there is no guilt on his face.

The fat chef followed me downstairs, Mark was lazily sitting on the seat of the tricycle, and when he saw the fat chef coming down, he hurriedly jumped out of the car, with a smile on his face, "Master, you don't stop, why did you come down." ”

The fat chef snorted coldly, "I'll come down and take a look, hey, there's something wrong with this car." ”

Mark accompanied the smiling face, "There is some problem, no, the owner of the vegetable garden said that this cart of vegetables is given away for nothing." ”

The fat chef pointed at Mark's nose and scolded: "Do you have a humanity, the vegetables that the farmers have worked so hard to grow, you are embarrassed to let the family give it for nothing, and give it to your grandma for nothing." As he spoke, he picked up a rotten potato, "Look at it, how fresh potatoes are, are you embarrassed to ask for them for nothing?" After saying that, he threw it at Mark, who jumped up in fear and dodged it.

The fat chef still seemed to be puzzled, and picked up another carrot that had been shriveled up, "Look at it, what a plump carrot, are you embarrassed to ask for it for nothing?" Then he threw it at Mark again.

Mark was completely confused by the fat chef's divine operation, "Master, what's going on?" ”

The fat chef grabbed Mark's wrist with his hand, "Boy, there is such an ancient poem, on the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops fall into the soil, who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work." These vegetables are all grown by the hard work of the farmers, without the farmers, what do you eat, without the farmers, what do you drink, the food and drink are gone, how can you live? So, think about what the peasants think, what the peasants are anxious about, people send it all the way, what are you still stuck, just rely on the power of the sesame grains in your hand? ”
