On the other side, when Wang Youcai was walking along the path, he clearly felt Zheng Cheng in his arms trembling more and more seriously, "Is this cowardice in the hometown?" I don't remember when, I read a story in a book. ”

Zheng Cheng asked in a low voice, "What story?" ”

"I forgot the storyline, but I remember that there is a very important sentence in it", Wang Youcai lifted Zheng Cheng up, looked him directly into his eyes and said calmly, "Never understand another person through other people's words." If you now decide that your father is crazy, what we should do is take him to the best hospital right away instead of going home. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Cheng rekindled his hope again, broke free of Wang Youcai's palm and walked forward, "I understand." ”

After arriving at the door of Zheng Cheng's house, he found that there were indeed many cats in the yard, and Zheng Jianguo just came out with a plate of fish to feed the cats with a smile.

Zheng Jianguo is a typical kind of small farm yard, with a small courtyard surrounded by a half-person high low wall outside, and a small field is circled in the yard, which looks good, but unfortunately Wang Youcai doesn't know him.

Although there are many cats in the yard, it doesn't look dirty. In one corner of the yard are neatly placed many small cardboard boxes, which look like temporary shelters for these cats.

Zheng Jianguo is also a fairly common two-story blue brick house in this village, and with the green smoke constantly rising from the chimney, it is also a picture of a quiet rural scenery.

If it was just from the outside, Wang Youcai would not associate him with a madman anyway, after all, he looked cleanly dressed, his demeanor was sober, and even his eyes were extremely clear when he looked at the cat.

Although Wang Youcai comforted Zheng Cheng just now, his father was not necessarily really crazy, but after all, it was just his words to comfort Zheng Cheng.

Zhao Dagou's previous appearance and the attitude of other people in the village towards Zheng Jianguo's courtyard made Wang Youcai believe in his heart that maybe under two years of suppression, something really happened to the man who was once iron-clad.

Zheng Jianguo, who was just about to go back to the house, found Wang Youcai standing at the door, glanced left and right, and then made sure that the young man was looking at him, and asked, "Is there something wrong with the young man?" If you're here to play at a farmhouse, I don't have this at home, so I'll ask somewhere else. ”

After that, I have to go back to the house.

Wang Youcai hurriedly spoke, "Hello uncle, I am Zheng Cheng's colleague, and I came to see you at his request." ”

When Zheng Jianguo heard this, his eyes turned red instantly, and he turned around tremblingly and was about to speak, but suddenly he thought of something, covered his mouth with his right hand, and motioned with his left hand to Wang Youcai and him to go out first.

Seeing this scene, although Wang Youcai was puzzled, he still followed honestly, wanting to see what Zheng Jianguo was selling.

After walking to the edge of the wheat field, Zheng Jianguo looked at the ragdoll cat in Wang Youcai's arms and said excitedly, "Window Daxian really didn't lie to me, the cat can bring my son back." ”

Wang Youcai was stunned for a moment in his mind, what the hell is this, why did he run over and say that there was news of his son who had been missing for two years, when the father was not the first to ask about his son's current situation, but began to say that Daxian is like a god, and who is this window Daxian?

Zheng Jianguo was excited for a long time, and after slowly calming down, "You just said that you are my son's colleague, how is Cheng'er doing now?" ”

Wang Youcai sighed that his thinking was inevitably too dull, and he actually asked this most critical question now, "Well, Zheng Cheng and I are colleagues in the same company, and we were sent abroad for further study two years ago. ”

Then he smiled embarrassedly, "It's all my fault, I almost forgot about it for so long, I suddenly thought of this after resting a few days ago, so I didn't immediately come over to visit it in person." ”

Zheng Jianguo was desperately reminiscing about 'almost forgetting a few words', looking at the cat in Wang Youcai's arms, "Little brother, did you pick up this cat, or did you suddenly remember the promise with my son not long after I picked it up." ”

Wang Youcai didn't understand what he meant, so he could only nod.

Zheng Jianguo shouted excitedly again, "Sure enough, sure enough, raising a cat can bring my son back, and I will go back to raising a cat immediately." ”

Wang Youcai's heart sank, could it be true as Zhao Dagou said, Zheng Jianguo he was really crazy, but except for the mention of the so-called Window Daxian, his mental state was still very good, what was going on?

Simply, Zheng Jianguo hadn't completely forgotten Wang Youcai, and smiled embarrassedly, "Let the guests laugh, after all, there has been no news of Cheng'er for more than two years, and it is inevitable that I will be a little excited, did Cheng'er leave any stipends?" ”

Wang Youcai took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which was a letter that Zheng Cheng dictated that Wang Youcai printed out with a printer, which was also discussed by the two a long time ago, after all, they really had to come up with some substantive evidence to give the two old men more hope.

Zheng Jianguo unfolded the piece of paper tremblingly, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said with tears in his eyes, "It was indeed written by Cheng'er, he is really alive, but he just went abroad, but why are you so ruthless, you haven't said a word for two years." ”

Wang Youcai looked at the old man who was flushed and coughing, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour, and he gently patted him on the back in the past, "Zheng Cheng, he must have no way not to contact his family, don't blame him, he must miss you very much." ”

Zheng Jianguo hurriedly waved his hand, "No, I don't blame Cheng'er, I'm just worried about his body." ”

Zheng Cheng listened to his father's words, and he was also sad, and couldn't help but whimper.

After Zheng Jianguo glanced at the cat on the ground, he carefully handed the paper to Wang Youcai, "I'm sorry, I'm illiterate, can you please help me read this letter?" ”

Wang Youcai asked curiously, "Since you don't know each other, how can you be so sure that this is written by Zheng Cheng." ”

Zheng Jianguo said mysteriously, "I feel my son's breath above, and I can't be wrong with this feeling of blood and heart." ”

Under the dim sky, with Zheng Jianguo's face, Wang Youcai felt a trace of inexplicable unease, but he still opened his mouth to read,

"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry to say goodbye suddenly, mainly because the company was urging me too tightly all at once, and I couldn't say goodbye, so I left in such a hurry. In the future, due to the poor telephone signal over there, it may be difficult for me to communicate with you, so I can only write home through the company's fax machine, and my best colleague should help send it back at that time. ”

"My life abroad is quite good, and I don't need your attention, but the trouble is that the signal is not very good, so I simply broke the mobile phone card, and it can't be used anyway, and it is a waste of phone bills to keep it, right? Cherish every penny, this is all what Dad, you taught me, I still remember. So I didn't answer when you called me, so don't worry, there's no need to call me in the future. ”

"Mom and Dad, are you okay? Even if my phone doesn't get through, don't worry about me, you should eat and drink, and don't worry about not having enough money. Although I've been traveling abroad for a long time, my salary is quite large, so you won't spend it even if you build it, don't worry. I've already told the company your usual card numbers, and you'll be able to receive them from this month. ”

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. I say all this to tell you to take care of your body and take care of yourself. I've been doing a lot of things here in the past few years, so I probably don't have time to go back. But my colleague and I are absolutely iron-porcelain, if you have any problems, you can tell him at heart, and he will definitely help you deal with everything. ”

The words were quite messy, and even many of them were repeated all the time, but Zheng Jianguo not only did not have the slightest impatience, but also listened to them with relish.

Wang Youcai only understood at this moment, maybe this letter Zheng Chengcheng tried his best to communicate in a tone that his uneducated parents could understand, and the real important things needed to be reminded again and again before they could be remembered.

In the eyes of their own tedious and meaningless nonsense, in the eyes of their parents, every sentence is worth savoring and chewing spiritual food, and such a short letter is enough to warn them of all the hard waits in the past two years.

After Zheng Jianguo listened, he kept wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, "It's good if it's still there, it's good if it's still there." It was I who was useless and made Cheng'er worry for so long. ”

After receiving the letter, he carefully folded it, took out the cigarette from his breast pocket and put it in his trouser pocket, put the letter on his chest again and again, and patted his right hand repeatedly to make sure that it would not be lost.

After much hesitation, he spoke, "What is your name, young man?" And what is the fax machine mentioned in Cheng'er's letter just now? Is it possible to communicate with him after installing that at home, will it disturb his work, if it affects me, I don't want it, and I'll find us again when I'm young. When you go back, please help me send a message, so that he can take care of himself, and don't always think about home, we'll be fine. ”

Wang Youcai took a deep breath, "My name is Wang Youcai. A fax machine is something like a telegraph machine, which can transmit letters and pictures on both sides, and if you want, I can help you get it for you in the next few days. Don't worry, it won't disturb Zheng Cheng's work, and I believe he will be very happy at that time. ”

Zheng Jianguo asked again, "Young man, we don't want that salary, can we get it back for Cheng'er, I'm afraid that he will be helpless abroad alone, and what if something happens again." ”

Wang Youcai patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Zheng Cheng's salary has always been the highest because he went abroad, even if he gives you a part of the second elder, the rest is definitely enough." ”

The god mysteriously popped out a finger and said, "There are so many of them every month, so you can rest assured that you can enjoy them." ”

Zheng Jianguo looked at Wang Youcai's outstretched finger in surprise, "Is it 10,000, how can it be so much!" It's not about doing anything illegal. ”

Wang Youcai originally meant 100,000, but seeing Zheng Jianguo's shocked appearance, he still nodded, "That's right." ”

It's no wonder that Zheng Jianguo's sensitivity to numbers is so low, after all, he has lived in the countryside since he was a child, and he has not taken a step, which has greatly limited his horizons. And his son is now 10,000 a month, doesn't it mean that as long as it is stable for forty years, it will surpass the original glory of the Lao Liu family.

Although he will probably not be alive by then, his son will definitely be able to enjoy it.

When Zheng Jianguo heard this, he even said that he was good, and his face was even more happy, and he took Wang Youcai and walked home, saying that he must have a few drinks to celebrate.

After taking two steps, he stopped, "That's right, young man." My daughter-in-law seems to be a little crazy in her head, and if she scares you then, I apologize to you here. ”

"As soon as I heard the news that you have my son, I hurriedly brought you out, just because I was afraid that my daughter-in-law would accidentally hear it, and the empty joy would make her condition even more serious. But now that it's confirmed to be 100% genuine, it doesn't matter. ”

"It's all because I haven't taken good care of her in the past few years, so that she heard the rumors in the village that Cheng'er is dead, and Cheng'er hasn't replied for a long time, which really drove her crazy. But tonight, I can let her listen to Cheng'er's letter, and then I'll have to trouble the young man to read it. ”

"Cheng'er is worthy of being the only college student in the village, and he speaks like Wen Zou Zou's depth, like my Lao Zheng's species, hahaha."

……

Zheng Jianguo didn't listen to a few words that Wang Youcai said later, and his mind was full of Zheng Jianguo's sentence 'My daughter-in-law is a little crazy in her brain'.

What's going on, who's crazy?

Originally, when he heard Zhao Dagou's description of the Zheng family in the car, Wang Youcai had already decided that Zheng Jianguo was crazy.

But in the follow-up contact, it was obvious that Zheng Jianguo's logical thinking was very clear, not at all like the terrifying look in the mouth of Zhengda Dog who would choose people to devour at any time.

But once the so-called 'Window Fairy' is mentioned, it does show a chattering look.

Why did he insist that it was his wife who was crazy?

Zheng Jianguo looked at Wang Youcai, who was distracted, and waved his hand lightly in front of his eyes, "Young man, are you okay?" ”

Wang Youcai suddenly clenched the hand that would move in front of him, "Uncle, who is the Window Immortal you kept talking about just now?" Why do you keep mentioning cats, saying that the cat brought your son back, and is your aunt's condition okay? Have you ever been to the hospital for a check-up? ”

Zheng Jianguo looked at Wang Youcai with some doubts, "Window Daxian is Window Daxian, he is a master, he lives near our village, let me tell you, he is amazing." He told me a long time ago that I had to get a cat, otherwise Cheng'er might not be heard from for the rest of his life. ”

Then he proudly raised his eyebrows at Wang Youcai, "You see that I have only been raising it for a year, and sure enough, I received a reply from my son." And if you have a cat, you must have calculated it from Window Daxian. ”

sighed again, "My daughter-in-law, it's already the consensus in the village that she's crazy, so I think there's no need to let her go to the hospital to waste money, it's better to save this money for Cheng'er to marry her daughter-in-law." ”

patted Wang Youcai's shoulder, "Don't worry, if your uncle is here, it won't hurt you if you're crazy, let's go back now." ”

Wang Youcai nodded when he heard this, he couldn't know the truth just by imagining outside, he had to go in and take a look.

After Wang Youcai followed Zheng Jianguo home, he looked at the black lights in the house, and subconsciously wanted to fumble for the switch to turn on the lights, but was stopped by Zheng Jianguo at once, "My daughter-in-law has been crying all day long since Cheng'er disappeared, and her eyes are not good, you can't turn on the lights, otherwise your eyes will be uncomfortable." ”

He took out a small oil lamp from the table, "That's all there is to it, don't run around when it's dark in the house, otherwise it won't be good to bump into you." Don't worry, stay here for a while, we'll bring it when the food is ready. ”

Wang Youcai originally wanted to go over to help, but under Zheng Jianguo's strong stopping, he dispelled this idea.

What's more, it's really dark in the house, and it's really inconvenient for his movements.

Zheng Jianguo walked to the house with a familiar car, "Why are you still asleep?" There is an adult colleague at home, go out and cook a good meal to treat the family, the child must be tired after running around for so long. ”

After a few seconds of hiccup, another very rough voice came from inside, "Really!! Is there news of a child? Let me go out and have a look, has he come back? ”

There was a clanging sound in the room, as if it was too surprised that Zheng Cheng's mother did not stand still and fell.

Wang Youcai hurriedly stood up and wanted to go into the house to see if they were okay, but his left foot was suddenly entangled by something, and he didn't stand firmly, lost his center of gravity, and fell to the ground.

Zheng Jianguo's voice immediately came from the house, "Is the young man okay?" Shall I go out to see you? ”

Wang Youcai endured the severe pain and stood up and sat back on the stool, "Uncle, I'm fine, you can take a look at your aunt first." ”

He put the tightly clutched clothes in his hand under the oil lamp and looked at it, it was obviously a coat made of women's material, Wang Youcai wondered in his heart, why did the clothes be thrown away? Is it really as Zheng Jianguo said, because my aunt is crazy, so the family is so unkempt?

Zheng Jianguo said angrily inside, "You see that you have harmed others." Okay, you go cook first, I'll sleep for a while, and then call me when the meal is ready, and then you can ask at the dinner table, okay? ”

Zheng Jianguo said excitedly, "Okay, good." ”

There was a sound of changing clothes inside, and Wang Youcai couldn't help but wonder, does the village like to sleep naked when taking a nap now? Otherwise, why do you have to wear clothes once?

A vague black shadow came out of the house and said to Wang Youcai from a distance, "Young man, you are Cheng'er's colleague." How is my son now? Forget it, don't ask, you must be hungry, I'll go over and cook first", then hurried outside the house, grabbed a chicken, and walked to the kitchen.

Wang Youcai knows that every chicken in the countryside has its own important mission, and it is a pity to eat it because of his own meal. hurriedly dissuaded, "Auntie, there's no need, I don't like chicken, let's just change to a home-cooked meal." ”

In the kitchen, accompanied by the wailing of chickens, Zheng Cheng's mother's voice was also heard, "It's okay, young man, don't worry about this, you can sit there and eat." ”

After more than an hour, Wang Youcai was about to fall asleep waiting on the table, and when he was drowsy, he thought of what Zheng Jianguo said to sleep first, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it was really prescient.

A sturdy black shadow walked out briskly with a pot of chicken soup, "Chicken soup is here." Young man, wait a minute, Auntie will serve you a bowl first. ”

Wang Youcai said that he filled a large bowl full of him and put it in front of him, "You eat this first, there are still a few dishes in the kitchen, and they will come out immediately." With that, he walked back to the kitchen.

Although this 'chicken soup is coming', Wang Youcai, who listened to it, felt a chill in his heart, but he still took it up and took a sip gently, and it was really a pollution-free yoda chicken, which was much stronger than the fried chicken in the Changping fast food restaurant.

It didn't take long for several dishes to come out one after another, all of which were very ordinary home-cooked dishes, but under the careful cooking of Zheng Cheng's mother, they all looked extraordinary.

"Okay, you can eat quickly, you're hungry all the way, right?"

Wang Youcai shook his head, "It's okay, don't you wait for your uncle to eat together?" He doesn't say to sleep for a while, and call him when the meal is ready! ”

As soon as the words fell, a thousand waves were stirred up, and Zheng Cheng's mother's body trembled wildly, "What are you talking about, child?" What uncle, didn't you just come by yourself? My husband died a year ago! ”

Wang Youcai was also terrified when he heard it, "No, it's just a man who brought me over, he just entered the house and said that he wanted to sleep for a while." ”

Then he got up and ran into the house, and this time miraculously there were no problems on the road, and he reached the door smoothly, pointing to the kang and saying, "You see, he is obviously ......."

The last few words can't be said, because there are indeed only a few clothes on the kang, and there is no trace of Zheng Jianguo.

Wang Youcai looked at the familiar coat at the top of the pile of clothes, and the scene of Zheng Jianguo putting the letter away from the top of the pile instantly flashed in his mind, and immediately went up to take it out of his pocket, but he didn't find anything, the pocket was empty, and there was nothing, "How could it not be here, I clearly saw him put the letter here." ”

Zheng Jianguo's mother's voice came from the door, "Are you looking for this letter?" ”

As he spoke, he took out the paper in his pocket, "Just now, when it was not yet dark, you suddenly rushed to my house, said that you had Cheng'er's information, and then read it to me, and after reading it, I stuffed it in my pocket and went to the kitchen to cook." ”

Then he touched Wang Youcai's head with his hand, "Child, are you okay, are you tired along the way and then take the things in your dream as true." A year before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he had already left because of excessive longing for Cheng'er, he was an unfortunate person, if he could wait for one more year, how good it would be. ”

Then he turned around, waved the letter in his hand and said to the air, "Jianguo, are you back, you see, Cheng'er is not dead, he is really working hard abroad to make money, you can rest assured now." ”

Relying on the faint oil lamp on the table outside, Wang Youcai stared at Zheng Cheng's mother's face, a chill rushed from his back to the top of his head, his pale face, exaggerated lipstick, he was clearly a man!!。

"How so, what the hell is going on?"
