resentment

After Li Zehai heard about this incident, although his heart was very calm, it seemed that everything was someone else's story and had nothing to do with him, but even so, he felt a sense of emptiness in his heart, no matter whether the story was about Who, he thought he would feel this way.

Although he has always missed his parents very much, it is normal to hear this matter now, because after all, his parents have passed away for so many years, and his impression of them is not much and is getting weaker and weaker.

Li Zehai looked at the water in his glass and drank it completely, and then politely said to Wang Dezhi again: "Thank you, old county magistrate, you can tell me so much, thank you very much, you finally relieved my heart for the past few years. doubts, thank you."

Wang Dezhi shook his head, shifted his gaze to him and said kindly: "You are too polite, child, I just think it's a pity."

Li Zehai knew that Wang Dezhi's "unfortunate" was referring to his parents, after all, his parents were very good in the impression of the old county magistrate.

He still nodded to Wang Dezhi and didn't say anything. After such a long time, the old county magistrate would feel sad again if he brought it up now.

Wang Dezhi took the empty glass in Li Zehai's hand, filled it up, put it in Li Zehai's hand and said, "Drink water."

Just as they were talking, Mingzhu came back with some vegetables and brought her sister back. Hearing what Wang Dezhi just said, Mingzhu still didn't know the content of their chat, and she couldn't ask, after all, Wang Dezhi was an elder, and these were theirs. privacy.

Wang Dezhi smiled when he saw the two Mingzhu sisters, and said, "Are you back from shopping?"

Li Zehai felt that now that he had solved the doubts in his heart, it was time to go back, so he put the cup in his hand on the table and got up.

After Mingzhu saw it, she asked, "Are you finished chatting?" Li Zehai nodded, turned around and went to the kitchen to bid farewell to the old county magistrate.

At this time, Wang Dezhi just came out of the kitchen. When he saw Li Zehai in front of him, he wanted to keep him. After all, he knew his parents before.

Unexpectedly, before Wang Dezhi opened his mouth, Li Zehai hugged Wang Dezhi and said, "Thank you, old county magistrate." After saying that, he let go of Wang Dezhi and continued: "Since I have learned what I have always wanted to know today. , I should go now, take care."

When Wang Dezhi heard it, he immediately asked to stay: "You child, how long have you been here, are you leaving?" Li Zehai nodded after hearing this, and he didn't have to leave, but he always felt that he was too much staying in their house. Not too long.

Seeing that Li Zehai still wanted to leave, Wang Dezhi was still a little reluctant, he sighed slightly, and glanced at Mingzhu.

Mingzhu knew what the old man meant, so she immediately took her sister to the kitchen to cook.

Wang Dezhi still wanted to keep Li Zehai here for a meal, so he patted Li Zehai on the shoulder and said, "Son, you see, I have asked my daughter-in-law to prepare the meal, and my son will come back later, so you can stay here. "

Li Zehai smiled faintly, and said tactfully to Wang Dezhi: "Old county magistrate, I already appreciate your kindness, but I don't think I will stay anymore. I will definitely come back to see you when I have time."

Wang Dezhi pushed Li Zehai on the chair, then sat beside him and said, "Oh, why are you so stubborn? You just listen to me and stay here for a meal. Anyway, you have to eat anywhere. If you don't stay here, it means you despise me here."

When Li Zehai heard Wang Dezhi's last sentence, he immediately waved his hands: "Don't dare, dare not, the old county magistrate speaks too seriously."

After hearing this, Wang Dezhi immediately said to Li Zehai like a child: "Then you can stay here and eat, don't leave, it's just a meal."

After saying that, he took a sip of water, Li Zehai didn't know what to say to Wang Dezhi, anyway, no matter how he politely refused, Wang Dezhi always wanted to keep him here for a meal.

Li Zehai had no choice but to nod his head, thinking to himself: The old county magistrate is also kind, and he won't harm anyone. Since he can't refuse, let's stay here for a meal.

After the two Mingzhu sisters finished the dishes, they brought them out. Mingzhu glanced at Wang Dezhi and said, "Dad, use your chopsticks." eat."

Seeing their enthusiasm, Li Zehai nodded. Seeing Li Zehai froze, Wang Dezhi waved his hand in front of him and said, "You child, what are you thinking, eat quickly, just try my daughter-in-law's cooking."

Li Zehai came back to his senses, smiled faintly at Wang Dezhi, and said: "Okay." After saying that, he took a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with his chopsticks and tasted it. Wang Dezhi couldn't wait to ask after seeing his movements: "Why?" So, is it delicious?"

Li Zehai nodded and said with a smile, "It's delicious."

Looking at Li Zehai, Wang Dezhi continued his words with affection and satisfaction, "It's good if it tastes good, and you should eat more if it tastes good."

Seeing her father laughing like this, Mingzhu said to Wang Dezhi, "Okay, Dad, eat quickly."

Just halfway through the meal, Li Zehai's cell phone rang. Originally, Li Zehai thought that he didn't want to pick up anyone who was not important. After all, he was still eating at the old county magistrate's house, so it was not very good.

But when he saw the three "Jiang Jingshu" flashing on the phone screen, he stopped the hand that was holding the chopsticks.

After putting down the chopsticks in his hand, he picked up his mobile phone and said to the people who were eating at the table in an apologetic tone, "Sorry, I'm going out to answer the phone, you eat yours, don't worry about me."

Wang Dezhi nodded and said, "It's okay." Li Zehai went out.

After avoiding Wang Dezhi and the others, Li Zehai swiped to answer the call outside: "Hello, Jingshu?"

After Jiang Jingshu connected, she said "hmm" to Li Zehai on the phone and continued with a little worry: "Li Zehai, why did it take you so long to answer the phone, did something happen?"

Li Zehai smiled faintly, feeling that Jiang Jingshu was a little worried, but he still liked that she could worry about him.

He put his knuckle fingers on the wall beside him, looked at his fingertips and said to Jiang Jingshu: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine here, I'm fine, and I just promised The old county magistrate had dinner at their house."

Jiang Jingshu felt relieved after hearing this, and said with a smile, "It seems that you have a good chat with the old county magistrate!"

Li Zehai nodded and said, "Don't talk about me, how are you doing?"

Jiang Jingshu said with a "puchi" smile: "What can I do, it's not the same as usual, eat well, sleep well, everything is fine!"

Li Zehai secretly thought in his heart: as long as you live well.

But he still said simply: "Yes."

Jiang Jingshu continued to ask: "By the way, you finally went back there this time. Are you going to stay for a few more days?"

Li Zehai did not answer Jiang Jingshu's question quickly, but instead asked: "How long do you think I should stay?" Jiang Jingshu replied with a "hmm": "Actually, I think you should stay for a few more days, more Take a look there, after all, it is your hometown, after all these years, it must have changed a lot."

Li Zehai didn't know why, every time he heard what Jiang Jingshu said to him, the corners of his mouth always raised unconsciously.

He looked at the white wall beside him in a daze, and Jiang Jingshu on the other side of the phone asked immediately when he saw that he hadn't moved, "Hey, Li Zehai, where are you? Are you still there? Why didn't you talk all of a sudden? "

Li Zehai came back to his senses and answered her: "Well, it's okay, you don't have to worry about me being a big man, and I think what you said is right, you really should stay here for a few more days and take a look, after all, it's been so many years."

Jiang Jingshu on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Li Zehai's words: "I'm really worried that you will disappear suddenly, the most embarrassing thing when chatting is when you finish talking, the other party not only doesn't reply, even the air is cold. "

Li Zehai was amused by her: "How could it be, I just became a little god, and I didn't seem to ignore you."

Jiang Jingshu didn't say anything else, just asked him: "How is it, do you feel that your current place is really kind, do you still feel that way?"

Li Zehai took a deep breath and said: "I have just arrived here not long ago. Although this is my previous hometown, I still don't have much feeling. I think it must be because I haven't gotten used to it. I really should stay here more. For a few days, look for the feeling of hometown.”

Jiang Jingshu felt that what Li Zehai said was right, she nodded on the other side of the phone, and then jokingly said, "By the way, didn't you tell me that you were staying at the old county magistrate's house for dinner? I Did this phone call interrupt your meal? You won't blame me, will you?"

How could Li Zehai blame Jiang Jingshu? Jiang Jingshu didn't understand the situation in the first place, and she was just worried about him, so Li Zehai would not blame her.

He frowned slightly and said to Jiang Jingshu in the same tone as a friend: "How can I blame you, you are also kind, by the way, have you eaten just now, no matter how important the work is, you must remember to eat."

Jiang Jingshu said "um" and said: "I just ate, since I called you when you were halfway through eating, then I won't bother you now, you go to eat quickly. "

Li Zehai secretly thought in his heart: I wish you would disturb me for a while, but when the words came to my lips, it became: "Well, then you should have a good rest, I'll hang up the phone first."

Jiang Jingshu: After a "hmm", Li Zehai hung up the phone.

He went back to the old county magistrate's house, and after having lunch at the old county magistrate's house, he found a simple small hotel here. The small hotel is not very expensive, but the environment is good. a small county.

He deliberately stayed here for a while, and he has been here for the past few days to get acquainted with the people here. Although he really doesn't have much impression of this small county, and it is almost gone, he still has feelings after all. Yes, he found some feeling here too.

It's not as noisy as a big city, and there won't be so much pollution. On the contrary, the air is very good and fresh. Although it can't be said to be very quiet, it can make people more relaxed than the city I stayed in before. .
