Chapter 546 Commitment

"sister!"

Song Yunhui carried a satchel and a duffel bag, and immediately saw his sister Song Yunping, who was sitting on Wang Zhong's shoulders with a smile on her face and waving to him excitedly.

"I'm here!" Song Yunhui was afraid that his sister wouldn't be able to see him, so he jumped up from the crowd and waved to his sister excitedly, shouting loudly.

"Xiaohui!"

"Xiaohui!"

Although Song Yunhui is thin, he is not short. He stands out in the crowd. With his unique temperament and familiar figure, Song Yunping can recognize him at a glance.

However, there was a huge flow of people rushing out. Although Song Yunhui could not wait to run to his sister and express his love for her, the passengers on the bus were eager to get off the train, and the people waiting outside the platform were also eager to talk to their relatives and friends. meet.

Song Yunhui could only follow the flow of people and came to his sister with excitement.

"sister!"

The smile on Song Yunhui's face was very bright.

"Dry food is just enough to cushion your stomach. It doesn't last long. Come on, brother-in-law will take you to eat something delicious!"

Mother Song couldn't wait to step forward and grab her son's hand, with a smile on her face and some tears in her eyes.

"Xiao Hui!" Wang Zhong next to him also greeted Song Yunhui with a smile.

"It's okay!" Song Yunhui said, "I brought dry food from school and ate some on the way."

Listening to her brother's heroic words and feeling the lofty sentiments in her brother's words, Song Yunping felt happy and relieved.

Along the way, Song Yunhui told Song Yunping and Wang Zhong about the latest news in the school, the good news he read in the People's Daily, and the news he heard from his classmates about the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Several classmates in the dormitory made conjectures about reform and opening up and expressed their bright prospects for the future.

Wang Zhong smiled and asked: "Why, we haven't seen each other for a few years, and you're just like this?"

But the food was already on the table, and no matter how unhappy Song Yunhui was, he could only grit his teeth and accept it.

"Xiaohui!" Song Yunping had already gotten off Wang Zhong's shoulders, walked forward excitedly, and gave Song Yunhui a hug.

"You must be tired and hungry after riding the train for so long!" Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"You've lost weight!" Song Yunping looked at her younger brother who was a little thinner than a few years ago, her eyes full of doting and concern.

"Brother-in-law!" Song Yunhui let go of his sister and looked at Wang Zhong. The smile on his face was not as bright as before, and he even hesitated before calling out brother-in-law.

"You should eat more if you are fat." Song Yunping said.

"Dad! Mom!"

Song Yunhui hurriedly explained: "No, no! I just need some time to adapt."

"Okay, stop teasing Xiaohui!" Song Yunping gave Wang Zhong an annoyed look, then turned to look at Song Yunhui and said, "Xiaohui, ignore him and eat your food quickly."

Compared with before, Song Yunhui is now confident and cheerful. Such a big change makes Song Yunping, her sister, not feel happy after seeing it.

Wang Zhong said: "Your sister is right, don't even think about saving money for me."

But despite this, Song Yunhui is usually very frugal, saving whatever he can. If the money he sent home was not sent back every time, and his parents in turn sent him this and that, Song Yunhui would have to save even more. .

The three of them walked all the way and finally returned home.

"Sister! I still have it in the bowl!" Feeling her sister's concern, Song Yunhui felt warm in her heart. Just out of consideration for Song Yunping's identity, she subconsciously glanced at Wang Zhong.

After dinner, Wang Zhong carried Song Yunhui's duffel bag, Song Yunping carried Song Yunhui's satchel, and the three of them set off on their way home.

"Come on, Xiaohui, eat more meat!" Song Yunping couldn't help but put meat into Song Yunhui's bowl.

Before Song Yunhui could say anything else, Wang Zhong had already taken his luggage bag, held it in his hand, and carried Song Yunhui away with Song Yunping.

The more Song Yunhui spoke, the more his emotions rose, and his tone became more sonorous and powerful. His eyes were full of longing and yearning for a better future, and his full ambition was inadvertently revealed between the lines.

Song Jishan and his wife had been waiting eagerly at the entrance of the village. When they saw the three siblings returning from a distance, a smile appeared on their faces. They couldn't wait for the three of them to arrive, so they couldn't wait to get up and go forward to greet them.

Before Song Yunhui could say anything else, Wang Zhong said first, "You don't have to think about anything today, just listen to your brother-in-law's arrangements."

Not to mention meat these days, it is very good to have enough to eat. Fortunately, Song Yunhui was admitted to university and can receive a monthly subsidy from the state, which can provide food and clothing. There is no need to worry about going hungry. Occasionally You can also eat some meat and fish.

As a father, Song Jishan, on the other hand, although he and his son had settled their differences, they still felt a little reserved when they reunited after a long absence.

"No need, brother-in-law, let's go home and eat!" Song Yunhui was used to being thrifty on weekdays, so he was not willing to spend money to eat out.

Song Yunhui said: "Sister, why have I lost weight? I eat well and sleep well at school, so I have obviously gained weight."

"Xiaohui!"

The three dishes and one soup were eaten cleanly by the three of them, leaving nothing behind. Song Yunhui almost licked the plate.

Song Yunhui felt warm in his heart after listening to his sister's caring words. He stopped arguing with Song Yunping and started eating. The already fragrant pork became even more delicious.

Then he put another piece of meat into Song Yunhui's bowl, fearing that Song Yunhui wouldn't be able to let go.

"I'm really not hungry." Song Yunhui said.

Nowadays, there are no private restaurants in the county, only state-owned restaurants. Although they are state-owned restaurants, the chef's skills are indeed good. After all, in these days, chefs also need to be graded. The higher the grade, the higher the salary.

Wang Zhong and Song Yunping dragged Song Yunhui into the restaurant and ordered three dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetarian dishes, and a large bowl of rice. They spent a lot of money on Wang Zhong and made Song Yunhui feel distressed.

This was probably the case for children from poor families back in the day.

"It's okay, your brother-in-law is rich!" Song Yunping glanced at Wang Zhong, took Song Yunhui's hand and said softly with a smile: "Don't even think about saving money for him!"

He was afraid that Wang Zhong would misunderstand if he explained too slowly.

Father's love itself is implicit, and Song Jishan's temperament tends to be dull, talkative and not good at expressing himself. His heart has become sensitive and fragile due to years of unfair treatment, and has become increasingly closed.

"How are you doing at school?"

"How was your meal?"

"Look how thin you have become!"

"..."

Song's mother held Song Yunhui's hand and looked at Song Yunhui carefully up and down, fearing that he had lost half a kilogram of meat. Song Yunhui smiled and said a few words to his mother softly, then walked to his father and shouted: "Dad!"

"I am back!"

This simple sentence sounded like the sound of nature to Song Jishan's ears.

"It'll be good to come back! It'll be good to come back!" Song Jishan raised his hand and patted his son's shoulder, with a heartfelt smile on his face.

"Go home! Let's go home!" Seeing the father and son reconciled as before, Song's mother also showed a happy smile on her face, took her son's hand and walked home.

Knowing that her son was coming back, Song's mother caught a duck early in the morning and had all the bleeding and hair removal done in advance. She waited for Wang Zhong to come back and cook in person to make a delicious meal for her son.

It's not that Song's mother doesn't know how to cook, but Wang Zhong's son-in-law's skills are obviously better. Chickens and ducks are expensive things these days. I don't know how long it will take to eat them. Normally, Wang Zhong will be busy with work, and Song's mother will follow It's okay for Song Yunping to make do with it, but today her son is back for the first time after going out to school and hasn't been home for more than a year. Mother Song naturally wants her son to eat the best food.

The duck has been cleaned, the internal organs have been taken out, and the duck intestines have been processed cleanly. The side dishes and condiments that Wang Zhong asked Song Mu to prepare in advance are also ready.

Rice was steaming in the pot, Song Yunping sat on a small stool in front of the stove to light the fire for Wang Zhong, and Song Yunhui talked to his parents in the front hall.

Song Yunhui's house had been tidied up a few days ago by Song's mother and Song Yunping. The bedding had been washed and dried in advance without any musty smell. There was also a desk and a bookshelf made by Wang Zhong himself. , there are many books that Wang Zhong bought newly from Xinhua Bookstore, including professional books on chemical engineering and many other types of miscellaneous books.

After dinner, the family sat around the fire pit to warm themselves up.

"By the way, Xiaohui, don't forget to go to Secretary Yang's place tomorrow. Thanks to Secretary Yang for taking care of him these years." While eating, Mother Song suddenly remembered this and hurriedly warned her son.

Song Yunhui said: "Mom, don't worry, I've prepared all the gifts for Secretary Yang. I'll go there early tomorrow morning."

The next morning, Song Yunhui got up early as usual. He just came out of the house, washed up and went out to do some morning exercise, when he happened to meet Wang Zhong coming down from the mountain.

"Brother-in-law!"

Song Yunhui took the initiative to greet Wang Zhong: "You're still so early!"

Wang Zhongdao: "The day's plan starts in the morning, so of course you have to get up early!"

"Are you planning to go out for morning exercise?"

Song Yunhui said: "You are right, the body is the capital of revolution. Only with a strong body can I study better."

"Are you still practicing the fists and kicks I taught you?" Wang Zhong asked.

Song Yunhui said: "Practice every day."

Wang Zhong suddenly became interested: "Let's go to the old place and see what progress you have made in the past few years."

"Okay!" Since he followed Wang Zhong to practice this set of fist and kick moves to strengthen his body, Song Yunhui has obviously felt that his physical endurance and strength have increased. Especially in the past few years, he has not even had a headache or fever.

The two of them came to the platform at the top of the low hill in the back mountain. After stretching their muscles for a while, Song Yunhui began to fight Wang Zhongjiao's boxing and kicking routine.

It is better to say that it is a boxing routine, but it is better to say it is a set of action routines for health and fitness, similar to Baduanjin. In the world of "Children of the Qiao Family", Wang Zhong combined hundreds of martial arts and added his own opinions to create Hua Duanjin. A routine developed over several years.

The main thing is to exercise to nourish the Qi, stretch the muscles and pull out the bones, and exercise all parts of the body.

After performing a set of fists and kicks, it really has some meaning.

"It seems that you have worked hard in the past few years!" Wang Zhong did not hesitate to praise him.

Song Yunhui said: "My brother-in-law's boxing skills are very good."

Song Yunhui is naturally gifted and very smart. He is particularly focused on what he does and likes to use his brain. He is not just imitating cats and imitating tigers, and he is naturally quick to learn.

The two chatted for a while and played a few sets of fists and kicks together. Seeing that Song Yunhui's body was almost healed, Wang Zhong taught Song Yunhui a few tricks to capture and counterattack.

Song Yunhui had a quick mind, but he learned it in just a moment.

With more and more exchanges, Song Yunhui gradually got used to Wang Zhong's brother-in-law identity, and gradually found the relaxed feeling that they had when they got along before.

When going down the mountain, Song Yunhui couldn't help but ask: "Brother-in-law, does my sister really not plan to go to college?"

Wang Zhongdao: "University is just a platform, a platform that allows you to access more knowledge and have a higher starting point. Society is a bigger and better university. As long as we are in awe and never forget the original intention of learning, we can go to school." If you don’t go to college, what’s the point!”

"But going to college is the only chance for a family like ours to change their destiny." Song Yunhui couldn't help but say.

Wang Zhong said: "Going to college is just a shortcut, it's just a relatively fairer path."

"Let me ask you, why did you go to college to change your destiny?"

Song Yunhui said: "Of course it's to get ahead, and to let my parents and sister live a better life."

"Then what kind of life is a better life?" Wang Zhong asked again: "Eat meat every day? Have new clothes to wear every day?"

Song Yunhui didn't know how to answer Wang Zhong's words for a moment. His eyes flickered, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "Anyway, it's not like this now."

Wang Zhong raised his hand and patted Song Yunhui's shoulder and said: "Xiao Hui, the policies above have begun to change. The road of reform and opening up will only get wider and wider. The days in the future will only get better and better, and the opportunities will only get better." As you grow older, as long as you can seize opportunities and keep up with the trends of the times, you can still live a better life."

"You are in the university and you should know more about reform and opening up than we do!"

Song Yunhui nodded and said: "Last year, the country started a pilot project in Shenzhen City. I heard from students that Shenzhen City has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to a few years ago. The People's Daily has also reported it many times."

Wang Zhongdao: "If the country wants to develop and become stronger, reform and opening up has become an inevitable trend. The lion of our country, which has been dormant for many years, has now begun to open its eyes. The lives of the people will only get better and better."

"Do you believe me?" Wang Zhong looked at Song Yunhui and asked.

Song Yunhui met Wang Zhong's gaze and did not answer, but looked straight at Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong raised two fingers and said: "In less than two years, I will let Xiaoping and her parents eat meat every day, and have new clothes to wear all year round, so that those who looked down on you and bullied you in the past can , when you mention the old Song family, you have to give a thumbs up."

Song Yunhui still looked at Wang Zhong: "Two years?"

Wang Zhong said firmly: "Two years!"

"A gentleman's word?" Song Yunhui stretched out his palm.

Wang Zhong raised his hand and high-fived Song Yunhui and said, "It's hard to chase a horse!"

"I'm waiting for your good news." Song Yunhui said.

If it were anyone else, Song Yunhui would just think he was bragging, laugh it off and ignore it, but Wang Zhong was the only person Song Yunhui could not see through and admired since he was a child. For Wang Zhong's words, Song Yunhui was willing to believe it, and for the two-year agreement , I can't help but feel a bit of expectation in my heart.
