Duanmu Shenjiu walked a long way, and he didn't look at the old man Deng who was riding a motorcycle behind him, but he knew in his heart that the old man Deng would definitely catch up with him, Duanmu Shenjiu was also thinking in his heart, and he would find a place to invite the old man Deng to have a meal, they had known each other for a few months, and they hadn't eaten together, and today was just taking advantage of this opportunity, the two of them could get together.

Just thinking about it, the dilapidated motorcycle behind him came to the side with a huge roar, and the old man Deng on it opened his mouth wide and shouted at the top of his voice, "You kid, what are you doing so fast?"

Duanmu Shenjiu looked at the old face of Old Man Deng that was flushed because of raising his voice, and the folds were squeezed into one place, like a few reins across his face, he replied with a smile, "Old Man Deng, it's rare to be free today, I'll invite you to dinner, do you want to go?"

Old man Deng slowed down the speed of the motorcycle, and the roar gradually became smaller, he controlled the speed of the car and followed Duanmu Shenjiu, and wondered, "Don't talk about it first, you just said that your bonus is more than mine, what do you mean?"

Duanmu Shenjiu, who walked calmly, smiled and said nothing, and didn't intend to tell Old Man Deng, Old Man Deng saw what he meant, so he stretched out a kick from the motorcycle, kicked Duanmu Shenjiu's thigh, and said angrily, "You have a leg, say it!"

Old man Deng unknowingly, he did what no one on the rivers and lakes today dare not do, and if he didn't dare to scold, this is not the first time that Old Man Deng scolded Duanmu Shenjiu's legs, when the two of them worked together in the factory, Old Man Deng often scolded Duanmu Shenjiu with some vulgar language, but he just scolded with his mouth, and there was no hostility in his heart, which Duanmu Shenjiu knew very well, so Duanmu Shenjiu never cared about the scolding from Old Man Deng.

Duanmu Shenjiu's figure did not pause at all, and there was no dissatisfaction on his face, but looked at Old Man Deng with a smile, and aroused his appetite fiercely, he knew that this old man was very curious, if he didn't let him figure out the reason, he would be anxious to eat and sleep well, but despite this, Duanmu Shenjiu also planned to hang him all the time, just not to tell him how much bonus he had paid.

In fact, Duanmu Shenjiu didn't know how much money was in the black bag in his hand, but he didn't plan to count it, in short, it would be good to know that it was a lot.

Old man Deng hurriedly shouted on the motorcycle, "You stinky boy, what is there to hide from giving out a bonus, and I won't ask you to borrow money." ”

"If you want to borrow, you can borrow some. Duanmu Shenjiu looked ahead and replied calmly.

"I don't borrow, the old man doesn't like to owe people anything in his life, whether it's favor or money, he never owes it, he has a backbone for a lifetime, but he can't break his vows in the last few years. Old man Deng said very firmly.

Duanmu Shenjiu nodded, and said with a smile, "There is a backbone, the position of a supervisor makes you as happy as a child, and your mouth is almost grinning to the back of your head." ”

Old man Deng sniffed on the motorcycle and spat at Duanmu Shenjiu viciously, Duanmu Shenjiu quickly slowed down, and the spit flew past his chest, which was worthy of being dodged by him.

"You know a fart, that's called a career, do you understand? You don't understand! Alas, if you want to say that today's young people don't know more and more about what to do, especially you, you are not self-motivated at all, the work is so beautiful, you can live a little bit, you can also get a job in the factory, isn't that much easier than on the production line? And it is a serious career, maybe you can be promoted to the office to sit, do you understand?" Old man Deng looked at Duanmu Shenjiu, with an angry look, like a father who is very good at educating his son.

After Duanmu Shenjiu heard this, he smiled dumbly, this old man Deng, there are a lot of things to worry about for himself, he wanted to talk to himself some time ago, and now he is worried about his career.

The motorcycle was still driving normally under the old man Deng's drive, and Duanmu Shenjiu suddenly jumped up from one side and sat behind the old man Deng, so frightened that the old man Deng almost couldn't hold the handlebars and planted himself on the side of the road.

Old man Deng looked back angrily, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand a few words, Duanmu Shenjiu stretched out his hands to support Old Man Deng's head and looked forward, and changed the topic and said, "Okay, don't chatter, don't bother, let's go, find a place, let's have a drink." ”

Getting along with others, Duanmu Shenjiu, who regards himself as a master, looks like an ordinary rough man in front of Old Man Deng, and his behavior and speech reveal a somewhat similar image of Xiaomin to Old Man Deng.

Old man Deng looked ahead again, drove intently, and muttered, "Okay, drink some drinks, you kid, you have money and you know to invite me to drink, not bad." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu, who was sitting in the back, smiled and listened to Old Man Deng chattering again.

"What time is it now, how can there be restaurants open, if you want to drink, go to my house. Old man Deng's face flashed with a strange look, and he said excitedly, "I brewed my own Xinghua Village, not to mention how authentic, the old lady at home has already purchased the New Year's goods, and there are many dishes, let's go, go to my house." ”

Old man Deng said to go, immediately increased the throttle, the dilapidated motorcycle let out a roar, held back enough horsepower and rushed forward, the shaking Duanmu Shenjiu was unstable, and hurriedly grabbed the shoulder of the old man Deng.

At first, Duanmu Shenjiu refused, he didn't want to go to Old Man Deng's house, so he planned to find a small restaurant to drink with him, but after walking on a motorbike for a while, he saw that the restaurants on several streets had indeed closed down, and it was estimated that everyone was going home to wait for the New Year because of the upcoming Spring Festival.

In desperation, Duanmu Shenjiu had no choice but to follow Old Man Deng's wishes, sit on the motorcycle honestly, and follow Old Man Deng to his house.

Old man Deng's home is outside the city, and the direction of the factory is just the opposite, to go to the old man's house, you must pass through the entire urban area, the two of them drove a motorcycle, when they were about to walk out of the city, Duanmu Shenjiu sat behind and suddenly remembered something, this is the first time to go to the old man's house Deng, but you can't go empty-handed, how bad it is, the etiquette in the world, he still knows.

So at the edge of the city, Duanmu Shenjiu stopped Old Man Deng.

Old man Deng stopped the motorcycle, saw Duanmu Shenjiu who got off the motorcycle, glared and asked, "What are you doing, you want to run, don't you want to go to my house?"

Duanmu Shenjiu smiled, shook his head and pointed to his stomach, and said, "Internal urgency, I'll go and come back immediately." ”

Then without waiting for Old Man Deng to speak, Duanmu Shenjiu walked away with the black bag, and his figure turned around at the intersection, not knowing where to go.

Old man Deng parked the motorcycle, lazily half lay on the motorcycle, lit a cigarette, and patiently waited for Duanmu Shenjiu to come back, the sun at noon was very good, and the sun made people sleepy, so the old man Deng lay down, dozed in a daze, forgot to smoke the cigarette in his hand, and fell asleep half-lying down like that.

It wasn't until the cigarette in his hand burned his fingers that Old Man Deng felt a trace of pain, and then he gasped and woke up, and he sat up suddenly on the motorcycle, almost falling down, fortunately he was held by Duanmu Shenjiu, who had just come back, otherwise he would have fallen headfirst to the ground.

Duanmu Shenjiu held Old Man Deng with one hand and said with a smile, "Why, it's only been less than ten minutes, and you fell asleep?"

After the old man Deng sat down, he rubbed his fingers burned by the cigarette, and saw Duanmu Shenjiu carrying the black bag in his hand, and two more boxes of things came out, and he didn't know where he bought it.

Old man Deng looked at Duanmu Shenjiu with some surprise, and said, "What do you mean by this?

Duanmu Shenjiu replied with a smile, "The first time I saw my sister-in-law, I can't be empty-handed, for the New Year, how can anyone come to the door empty-handed to eat and drink, besides, I originally said that I invited you, but now it is you who invite me." ”

Old man Deng nodded, and said in a good mood, "Not bad, yes, you learn quickly, yes, you should live like this." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu smiled and got back on the motorcycle, and said, "Let's go, hurry up, it's time for dinner in a while, and the old sister-in-law won't be busy if it's late." ”

Old man Deng started the motorcycle and said, "It's busy, and she's not cooking alone." ”

The motorcycle drove again, and after driving out of the city, it walked onto a wide road, and in front of the road was a hill, and Old Man Deng's home was under a certain mountain.

On the way to the road, Old Man Deng looked at the two boxes of things that Duanmu Shenjiu was carrying, and said in a deep tone, "Your thoughts, if you use them for work in the future, it will definitely be of great help to you, as for me, forget it, we don't need these vain ceremonies." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu smiled silently behind him, looked at the mountain in front of him, and didn't speak.

The motorcycle drove out of the main road, turned into a mountain road, all the way downhill, the road was uneven, stumbling, and the motorcycle carrying two people was shaky, thanks to the old man Deng's experienced driving skills, otherwise the two of them would have fallen on this uneven mountain road, but even so, Duanmu Shenjiu was also very worried, the dilapidated motorcycle under the buttocks, would it run and run, and suddenly fall apart.

The first time he came to Old Man Deng's house, Duanmu Shenjiu really didn't expect that on the way from his house to the factory, there would be such a rugged mountain road, and the distance from the factory was very far, the drive was about an hour to two hours, and on the way back and forth, it would take more than two hours to remove the time.

It's sad to think about being so old and working so hard.

But Old Man Deng didn't think so, although he worked hard, he lived very happily, and never complained because of the long distance and heavy work, this is the state of mind he has cultivated after living for nearly a lifetime, and ordinary things are really bad.

The mountain road stumbled and walked for half an hour, and a small village gradually appeared in the humid mountains in winter, located between three mountains, dozens of low houses made of blue bricks and green tiles, the style was roughly the same, the location was different, and there was a chimney on the roof, and individual chimneys were still slowly emitting green smoke, adding a tranquility to the quiet mountain village.

"That's our village, it's not as pompous as the city, it's just a small mountain village. Old man Deng said to Duanmu Shenjiu on the motorcycle.

Duanmu Shenjiu looked at the small village in front of him, tenderness appeared in his eyes, and a sense of closeness appeared in his heart, this kind of mountain village located between mountains and composed of dozens of green bricks and green tiles was his favorite place to live.

The motorcycle drove into the village and made a few turns on the narrow bluestone-paved road, during which the old man Deng also said hello to a few old men of the same age, and finally parked the motorcycle in front of a courtyard.

The courtyard door was closed, Old Man Deng parked the motorcycle, beckoned Duanmu Shenjiu to get out of the car, and then shouted into the courtyard at the top of his voice, "Old woman, open the door." ”

Footsteps sounded in the courtyard, Duanmu Shenjiu's ears were spiritual, and he immediately heard the clues in the footsteps, this is not an old woman's steps at all, this step is brisk, fast, and powerful, not to mention an old woman who is the same age as Old Man Deng, even ordinary people, can't take such steps.

So Duanmu Shenjiu looked at the courtyard gate curiously, and after the courtyard door was slowly opened, he saw the face of a young girl appearing in front of him.
