Chapter 3 Hometown
Wang Lung didn't answer Niu Guohua's words, he sat alone on Mazha and drank a glass of beer slowly, thinking about Niu Guohua's idea for him, where is his hometown?
Seeing Niu Guohua busy packing up his things, and sitting for a long time was a little uncomfortable, Wang Lung put down his wine glass and stood up to move his hands and feet.
As soon as he stretched his arm, he heard Niu Guohua in the back room shouting: "Xiaolong, Xiaolong......"
Wang Lung frowned, thinking to himself, what is this Andy doing in a daze? casually replied: "What are you doing?
Before Wang Lung could finish speaking, he saw Niu Guohua hurriedly running out of the back room with a travel bag in his hand.
Ignoring Wang Lung's curse, Niu Guohua rushed to Wang Lung and said, "Xiaolong, I remembered, you...... You...... That's ...... you."
Seeing Niu Guohua's stumbling and excited face, Wang Lung was angry and funny, raised his hand and slapped Niu Guohua's outstretched fingers, and said impatiently: "Don't ...... You...... It's good, if you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go, what are you excited about!"
Easing his excitement a little, Niu Guohua glanced at the other party and continued: "Xiaolong, your hometown may be from Jinan!"
The other party's words made Wang Lung obviously stunned, looked Niu Guohua up and down with a questioning expression, and asked puzzledly: "What do you say, my hometown is from Jinan?
Niu Guohua threw away the travel bag casually, pressed Wang Lung on the horse and said, "Don't interrupt your kid, listen to me first." ”
"I just remembered it, let me think about it, if you interrupt me, I may not be able to remember. ”
Wang Lung saw that what Niu Guohua said was so serious, and it was a major matter for himself, so he could only sit obediently and listen to Niu Guohua's narration.
Niu Guohua straightened up and continued: "Actually, this matter started twenty years ago, I was still a teenager at that time, and your old man is the same as now, he is not smiling, mysterious and secretive, and always feels weird." Even when I was a child, everyone in the neighborhood knew the old man, but no one knew what the old man did, but to be honest, the old man is still quite mysterious. ”
Looking at Wang Lung's impatient expression, Niu Guohua ignored it and continued: "Every time the people around him ask the old man what he does, the old man will stop talking, and it will always be the same sentence: The ancestors are all from the mountains, what else can they do! Over the past few decades, the old man has been most familiar with our family, and he has taken special care of me since my father passed away. ”
Speaking of this, Niu Guohua pointed his finger at Wang Lung and continued: "At that time, there was no you, I remember one time, when the old man came to my house very late, I went to sleep, my father and the old man chatted in the outhouse, adults and children didn't care, I fell asleep again in a daze." I don't know how long it took for the old man to wake me up again when he was leaving, and I heard my father say, "Wait until you come back from Jinan and bring me to see it!" I didn't understand what this sentence meant, so I didn't care and went back to sleep. ”
"Sleep, sleep...... I'm not afraid to sleep to death, eat more, pull more, sleep more, and I don't see you grow like a pig. Wang Lung saw that Niu Guohua just didn't get to the point, and talked about those who didn't, so he interrupted angrily and wanted to remind the other party.
Niu Guohua glared at Wang Long, and nodded Wang Lung with his finger, the meaning is very clear, don't interrupt me talking, don't blame me for not saying anything important if you forget any important details.
"I haven't seen the old man for months since then, and I don't know how long it's been since I did. Another night, the old man suddenly came again, but at this time the old man had an extra child by his side, and later I learned that the little doll was you. I was also next to me at the time, my father couldn't stop nodding when he looked at you when you were a child, and I didn't know what I meant, so I just teased you on the side, and the two of them didn't say a few words, and the old man took you away. ”
"It's been so many years, if it weren't for your sister-in-law cleaning up her things just now, I wouldn't have been talking about Jinan, I wouldn't have remembered. If you extrapolate according to what the old man and my father said at that time, Xiaolong, Jinan is your hometown nine times out of ten. After Niu Guohua finished speaking, he nodded solemnly to Wang Lung.
After listening to Niu Guohua, Wang Lung looked up at the sky, and began to think in his heart: "According to Hua Tsai, Jinan may really be my hometown." Alas, whether it is or not, there is a year anyway, just to go and check it. “
Wang Lung retracted his gaze and stared at Niu Guohua again, nodded heavily, and said: "Whether there is such a possibility or not, I have to go to investigate, anyway, I have nowhere to go, but ......"
"But what?" Niu Guohua asked as he looked at Wang Lung in confusion.
Wang Lung scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I haven't been out of the house since I was a child, this Jinan is there, how to go, I don't know how to go." ”
Niu Guohua glared at Wang Lung and shook his head, and smiled: "You stinky boy, oops! ”
Wang Long, who made Niu Guohua laugh, was puzzled, and watched the other party get up and walk to the desk and call directly.
Niu Guohua smiled and pointed back at Wang Lung while walking to the phone, Niu Guohua picked up the phone and pressed a few numbers.
"Hey, Xiao Luo?"
"Well, Brother Niu, it's all packed?"
"Hehe, it's coming, when are you coming?"
"Wait a minute, I'm loading, I'll go over when I'm done. ”
"Hehe, don't worry, I just asked you something. ”
"Oh, Brother Niu, wait a minute, don't hang up!"
"Okay," Niu Guohua took the receiver and heard Luo Song shouting on the other side of the phone.
"Little four, unload that first, that one, that's it, that's it, take it off first, take this, alas, that's right, that's it, put it on it, don't you flatten it, work and make eyes. ”
"Hey, Brother Niu, Brother Niu?"
"Well, yes. ”
"Hehe, I'm sorry, the little rabbit cub doesn't bother at work, you just said you want to ask something, what the hell is going on?"
"I just asked you, can you help me bring someone to Jinan?"
"Isn't my sister-in-law talking about carrying things?"
"My little brother is going to Jinan, don't you just go too, take him with you along the way. ”
"Well, okay, it should be fine, I'll finish loading this goods soon, I'll go to your place in a while, and we'll talk about it later, okay?"
"Okay, then you'll talk about it later. ”
When Wang Lung listened to Niu Guohua's call, he already understood that the other party was looking for a free driver and guide for himself.
As soon as Niu Guohua put down the phone, Wang Lung ran to the other party with a smile and asked eagerly, "How is it?"
Niu Guohua looked at Xiaolong and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem, Xiao Luo will come over in a while, and I'll ask after he comes." Also, don't Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo's screaming, people are older than you, you have to pay attention when we meet. ”
Wang Lung sighed and sat down with Niu Guohua on the maza.
Niu Guohua picked up the teapot on the table, took two sips at the tea spout, and then said to Wang Long: "Xiaolong, I can't say if Jinan is your hometown or not, I can tell you everything I can know, and whether you can find it depends on your own luck." ”
Wang Lung didn't speak, just nodded in agreement.
"Your sister-in-law happens to be in Jinan, and after the past, there is a response to each other, you will follow Luo Song in a while, be more careful on the road, be polite to people, don't be arrogant, I will call your sister-in-law when I turn around." ”
Wang Lung is a thoughtful person, and he says what to whom. Don't look at him when he and Niu Guohua are together, it's because of a good relationship.
Wang Long knew that Niu Guohua said that what he said was good for him, and he didn't deal with this problem like before, he nodded seriously at Niu Guohua and said, "Don't worry." ”
Niu Guohua nodded and asked Wang Lung to sit down first, and he continued to pack his things.
As soon as Niu Guohua lifted his travel bag and turned around, he saw that Wang Lung was already standing opposite him.
Looking at Wang Long's hippie smiling face, Niu Guohua thought to himself that this kid was hot for three minutes, and he knew that this kid must be no good when he looked at this look.
Niu Guohua lazily asked, "What's wrong again?"
Wang Lung just smirked and didn't speak, Niu Guohua twisted his eyebrows and prepared to ignore Wang Lung for the time being, picked up his travel bag and walked into the back room from the side and started to get busy.
Wang Lung has been following Niu Guohua's ass and seems very attentive, helping to clean up things together, and after a while, he will clean up.
Niu Guohua pulled up the travel bag and put it on the counter, clapped his hands and turned to Wang Lung and said, "Don't be angry, I don't know what you kid is doing, let's say it!"
Wang Lung smiled and pulled Niu Guohua to sit on the Mazha and said, "Andy, you said that we have been in a relationship for so many years, what do I do to you?"
As soon as Niu Guohua heard what the other party said, he began to mutter: "What does this kid want to do?" Looking at that bear, you can know that there is no good thing, anyway, there is no good thing, you can delay it, and send this plague god away quickly." ”
Niu Guohua made up his mind and looked at Wang Lung lazily: "Well, it's okay!"
Hearing Niu Guohua's strange tone of neither yin nor yang, Wang Lung really wanted to raise his fist and give it to the other party, but now is not the time, who will let himself ask for others now.
Wang Lung grabbed one of Niu Guohua's arms with both hands and shook it, and gave each other a flattering look from time to time: "How can you call it okay, but you are talking nonsense, our relationship is ......."
Niu Guohua shivered all over his body, and quickly pulled out his arm. "Okay, goosebumps are falling to the ground, you're going to disgust me to death, you have to ...... Don't be disgusting, let go of a fart!"
Looking at Niu Guohua's disgusting appearance, Wang Lung knew that the effect he expected had been achieved, and the corners of his mouth began to unconsciously turn up, thinking: "Sample! Just like you, you are still fighting with Lao Tzu, see that I can't kill you, oh! No...... It should be to see that I don't make you poor. ”
Wang Lung naturally couldn't say what was in his heart, and that kind of thought could only be lustful.
Adjusting his mentality a little, Wang Lung smiled at Niu Guohua: "Didn't I tell you when I first came, I came to give you money this time." ”
Looking at Wang Lung's teasing eyes, Niu Guohua felt a chill in his heart, got up slightly and moved to the side, feeling that it was better to stay away from the other party.
Wang Lung looked at Niu Guohua's movements and didn't care about him, and asked, "How is it?"
Niu Guohua said disdainfully: "Hmph, it's not good, you kid can send me money, don't fool me, unless the sun hits the west and comes out." ”
Wang Lung heard Niu Guohua say this and secretly said that it was not good, this old boy didn't eat this set, pretended to be angry and said: "Look at you, don't give you money, I haven't seen you as a person, and there are people who push money out, are you stupid?"
Niu Guohua hurriedly said: "You're really right, I'm stupid, what's the matter, what is in your kid's flowery intestines, I don't know how to do it, send me money, I thank you, I don't want it!"
Seeing Niu Guohua's dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, Wang Lung is happy in his heart, it seems that it is impossible to cheat the money out of Niu Guohua with tricks, but with the point given by Qing'er, let alone going to Jinan, even Muchuan County can't get out.
This old ghost who slammed the door really me off, Wang Lung cursed the old ghost thousands of times in his heart, and cursed Niu Guohua by the way.
