The Story of Qingfeng Village

Chapter 6 Father and Son

Liu Jianguo: "Let's go, Old Xiao, go and have a look at the things prepared for the children. I'm in a hurry this time, and I haven't prepared much. After you go back, tell Zhu Xia what else you need. Feel free to call us, and we will help you with other things." No, but it’s still possible to sponsor some school supplies.”

Xiao Guangwei hurriedly said: "Very good, very good."

When Xiao Guangwei saw those things piled up in the warehouse of the teahouse, he was still a little surprised, there were much more than he had imagined.

At most, he wanted to come to these Zhu Xia's classmates just for fun.After all, we haven't seen each other for 30 years, who still remembers who?Who would be so serious?
"Brother Jianguo, thank you so much. I thank you on behalf of the children."

Liu Jianguo: "Don't say polite words. We're just trying our best. Here's our address book and group business card. You can give it to Zhu Xia. We welcome old classmates to join us."

Xiao Guangwei put it away.

"It must be brought. It's just how to get over it. It won't fit in a taxi, right?"

Wang Dayong said: "Fortunately, I brought my BMW here. I will load the things in a while, and I will send them to the material company for you."

Xiao Guangwei said: "Then I won't delay, I have to go back to the village today."

Liu Jianguo: "Lu Yuan, I'm a little specific. We won't keep you anymore, Lao Xiao, and have a good journey. Send my best regards to classmate Zhu Xia."

Chen Lili: "I hope she has time to come back to Ningcheng to take a look. We treat her to tea, and the students miss her a lot."

When Xiao Guangwei saw the BMW Wang Dayong mentioned, he couldn't help laughing.

It turned out to be a pickup truck.

Wang Dayong: "Hey, the shotgun has changed. I used to ride a tricycle, but now I have replaced it with a small truck. Don't underestimate it. With this small truck, it is very convenient for me to go to the wholesale market to fetch fruits and vegetables. Come to Secretary Xiao , wronged you to sit next to me."

Xiao Guangwei: "If you have a car, why feel wronged? In rural areas, I often throw hams."

This made everyone laugh.

Watching Xiao Guangwei get into Wang Dayong's pickup truck and leave.

Chen Lili said: "This Secretary Xiao, why does he look a little..."

He Xiuli: "Something?"

Chen Lili: "If he didn't say that he was from the power company, I would have thought he was an honest farmer. It seems that he doesn't have the temperament and level of a secretary at all."

He Xiuli: "It looks a bit dull and doesn't talk much."

Liu Jianguo: "It means that he is not the kind of person who relies on his mouth to talk and glib. I think he looks like a person who does things."

Chen Lili: "Yes, a man of action."

He Xiuli: "The squad leader still has vision. We only look at the surface. You have seen the depth of the soul."

Hahaha……

Chen Lili and He Xiuli laughed, but Liu Jianguo couldn't.

Deep in the soul?

There is a hidden corner deep in Liu Jianguo's soul, where all kinds of pasts that he doesn't want to remember are buried, but Zhu Xia's sudden letter makes him have to pull it out of the depths of his memory.

He thought he was hiding it very carefully, but the word Qingfeng Village still touched his heartstrings, reminding him that there were people he knew there.

How are they doing after all these years?
I seem to have forgotten them for a century.

When Liu Jianguo came home, Father Liu was cooking dinner.

"came back?"

"Well, Dad, let me do it!"

"No, no, it will be fine soon."

Liu Jianguo washed his hands and helped to set the dishes, and the father and son sat at the table to eat.

Father Liu: "Liu Li called me before and said that the school organized them to teach for a month, and he has already signed up."

Liu Li is the son of Liu Jianguo.Now in third year of college.

Liu Jianguo: "Oh, this is a good thing. It's good to go down to exercise. Why didn't he tell me where to go?"

Father Liu: "I haven't decided where to go yet. Don't worry too much, he's used to calling me."

Liu Jianguo's mother passed away early, and he was brought up by Liu's father. Not only that, he also brought up his grandson Liu Li. During those difficult days, Liu Jianguo was confused and didn't know what to do. It all depends on the father to take care of him, and because of this, the father retired early, so Liu Li is closest to his grandfather, and Liu Jianguo is a little estranged.

Liu Jianguo: "Then I'll call him later, there are some things that need to be told."

The son doesn't call himself, but he can call him on his own initiative.

In order to improve the relationship between father and son, Liu Jianguo is making his own efforts.

Father Liu: "When the child grows up, he has his own world. Don't force it. You should think about your own affairs. I am getting old day by day, and I can't stay with you for long. You should find another companion. Young couples come to accompany each other when they grow old, and when they get old, they need someone to accompany them.”

Liu Jianguo: "Dad, look, you are here again, and you are going to live to be a hundred years old."

"Hehe, if you live 100 years old, you won't be an old monster. Seriously, how are you and your classmate He Xiuli doing? You tell her no. I think Xiao He is very good. You two are classmates who know everything. It's suitable, you have to hurry up, I will help you take care of your children after you get married."

Father Liu took a sip of his wine and said happily.

Liu Jianguo almost spit out the soup after taking a mouthful.

"Dad, what are you talking about? What kid?"

Father Liu: "Now let it go, you can have a second child. After you and Xiao He get married, I am very happy to have a second child with you while I still have the strength."

Liu Jianguo: "Dad, you can think too far, let's talk about it later."

A year ago, he got in touch with his middle school classmates.Li Xiaomi, the literary and art committee member, established a group, and after more than a year of contact and understanding, he has a good impression of He Xiuli.

He Xiuli's husband died in a car accident ten years ago, and she and her daughter depended on each other for life.

And Liu Jianguo's wife Li Ying also passed away many years ago, and Liu Jianguo never remarried.

Father Liu also met He Xiuli, was very satisfied, and tried his best to persuade his son to pursue her.

It's just that Liu Jianguo never let go.

Thinking of his wife Li Ying, Liu Jianguo thought of Qingfeng Village.

The long-awaited memories now come to mind so clearly.

Qingfeng Village is Li Ying's hometown. The first time Liu Jianguo went to Qingfeng Village was in his sophomore year.

In his sophomore year, he established a relationship with his classmate Li Ying.

During the winter vacation, I followed Li Ying back to my hometown Qingfeng Village to meet my future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Liu Jianguo has a deep memory.

What impresses me the most is that the road is very long. They take a bus from the city to County S, and then from the county to the town. From the county to the town, there is only one bus a day. If they miss it, they can only wait for the next day.

Baima Town is the most remote town in S County, and Taiping Township where Qingfeng Village is located is the farthest township from Baima Town, and Qingfeng Village is the most remote village.

They got off the car in the town and took a tractor to Taiping Township.
