The Taming of the Ruffian Hero

The three filled up Yun Che's car on the road and had to leave at the intersection of Lin Wenxi's house.

"Have a better winter." Lin Wenxi said with a smile.

Zhao Yuan touched Lin Wenxi's head, and then Gu Xi's head, carrying a large bag of his own clothes, and suddenly left in a hurry.

Lin Wenxi who came back on a snowy night really surprised Huang Xiya. When she heard Gu Xi exclaimed that she came back on a motorcycle, she couldn't help but look at Lin Wenxi with admiration, because Lin Ziwei and Hong Xuan were still stuck outside and couldn't come back.

The taste of the new year is getting stronger and stronger. Lin Wenxi helped Huang Xiya finish the housework, and then brought Gu Xi to Zhao Yuan's old site. It was strange that the courtyard had nine twists and eighteen bends, and Lin Wenxi himself did not have the confidence to remember the road completely. When he got to the vicinity, with the help of God, Lin Wenxi remembered every alley, every turn, and path exactly, like a wanderer returning home, one by one, a familiar hometown.

Lin Wenxi looked at the red lantern above with a sense of loss, not knowing that a bird flying south accidentally passed over the eaves, and its sharp claws pierced a piece of red cloth on it.

The lantern was broken, and the red cloth hung down from it, like a peeled orange that no one eats, and it rots again after being left for a long time.The door lintel is covered with dust and cobwebs are everywhere. Unexpectedly, after not being here for half a year, time has planted a barren here.

Lin Wenxi looked for some rags from a nearby store, and wiped the door with the unmelted snow in the corner, when he suddenly heard someone sigh in surprise.Lin Wenxi looked there while wiping his forehead, saw Zheng Ziheng walking in from the door, and looked at him in surprise.

"Wenxi?" Zheng Ziheng asked.

"Hello, Uncle Zheng." Lin Wenxi was a little embarrassed, his head was already spinning quickly trying to find a reason for himself to clean up.

"Why did Wenxi come here? This house has already been sold, but the buyer hasn't moved in yet." Zheng Ziheng said.Lin Wenxi was surprised to find that this uncle, who seemed to be in his forties, had a thin appearance, without any wrinkles on his skin, and his skin was so delicate that even he felt ashamed of himself.His slightly flushed face and slightly shy look did not look like the appearance of a person who has experienced the vicissitudes of life.Thinking about it, Lin Wenxi couldn't help becoming more courageous.

"If you sell it, you have to give the buyer a good impression." Lin Wenxi said with a smile.

"Oh, oh, yes, yes." Zheng Ziheng agreed vaguely, his eyes fell on the rag in Lin Wenxi's hand, and the jade-like figure beside him. Just as he was about to inquire about the details, Lin Wenxi asked, "Uncle, what are you doing?" here?"

"My hometown is here. I'm here to pay New Year's greetings. Let's visit my old brother's room." Zheng Ziheng nodded slightly, with tiredness that couldn't be concealed on his face.

"Is Zheng Kai back?" Lin Wenxi asked.

"This year, I will come alone." Zheng Ziheng said.

"Uncle, I'm sorry..." Lin Wenxi's expression suddenly darkened.

"You all tried your best, it's all your fate." Zheng Ziheng said, "Is Ah Yuan taking care of Lao Zhao's funeral?"

"It was said that I went to receive the cremation after a year."

"Well, yes, after a year, I forgot."

Lin Wenxi paused, gestured with the rag in his hand, and continued to complete the unfinished business.Zheng Ziheng always answered Lin Wenxi's words with some truth at first, but as soon as Lin Wenxi stopped talking, he stood there and didn't know how to deal with himself. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and went to a nearby store to borrow some a rag.The shopkeeper put his hand in the stove and leaned against it, muttering: "It's a cold day to wipe things, and I don't want to take advantage of the sun."

The three of them wiped the house clean together, smiled at each other, and went to the restaurant together.

Zheng Ziheng did not hesitate to tell everything about himself and Zhao Mingjiang in detail.

There was no Chengnan High School that year, and there was only one Yangzi Middle School in the county.In that year, the students’ minds were filled with various major domestic and foreign events. A catastrophe was spreading in China. In that year, the Zhumadian Reservoir in Henan Province collapsed. In that year, China successfully launched the first experimental satellite. In that year, Jiang Jieshi passed away.

In the chaotic era of Vientiane, the atmosphere of turmoil and restlessness spreads everywhere in the school, and the youth who are too publicized often bury many crazy impulses.At that time, there were endless street fights, and no matter if you were a good student or a hooligan, you would inevitably encounter some loss of life and wealth on the way to and from school.

The autumn wind that day carried the warmth of the sun. The streets at that time were not as open as they are now. Linjiang Road was just a dirt road. Zheng Ziheng had no time to enjoy the refreshing scent of camphor on the roadside in early autumn. He was being surrounded by a group of good people. The students gathered around the corner, guarding their schoolbags tightly, where there were a few yuan for half-year food expenses and a lot of food stamps.

The story begins with the hero saving the man.

When those people were about to make a move, they were stunned by Lu Jianbuyi's roar, and then they found a rustic country boy rushing over with a wooden stick.After several fights, the good students were no more than real hooligans, without any self-defense equipment, they were beaten to the ground and wailed endlessly.The one who saved Zheng Ziheng was Zhao Mingjiang, who was one year older than him. He threw away the wooden stick and limped away regardless of how many punches and kicks he had received.When Zhao Mingjiang defended Zheng Ziheng with a stick, his stern look, brows that were almost erect, and his red face directly tore Zheng Ziheng's heart, and broke into his countless dreams.

When Zhao Ming was about to leave, Zheng Ziheng only felt that under the blue sky, the young man's dirty burlap clothes were fluttering and dancing in the wind. His figure was as mighty as a hero in any martial arts novel.Zheng Ziheng forgot to ask about Zhao Mingjiang's class, but met again unexpectedly in school.

At that time, General Zhao Ming was still called Zhao Guangli.

Zhao Mingjiang likes to play football, so he goes to practice football.

Zhao Mingjiang likes to think about mud tiles, and he admires any small buildings he built himself.

Zhao Ming only had beans and sauerkraut for dinner, so he took out his homemade white steamed buns.

Zhao Mingjiang would walk back to his hometown from Yangzi County every week. Zheng Ziheng took a pampas grass and kicked stones with him all the way to his hometown. In the end, Zheng Ziheng took out the pocket money he had accumulated for a long time and stole a lot from home by the way. Helped Zhao Mingjiang to buy a second-hand worn-out bicycle, and then proudly accompanied him to ride from the first day of junior high school to graduation.

The happiest thing at that time was that we could ride from here to our hometown together every week. Zhao Ming reinforced himself in the back of the car. Zheng Ziheng sat sideways behind him, leaning on Zhao Ming's wet back, blowing the wind all the way. Go to the countryside and accompany him to do housework.Sometimes Zhao Mingjiang thought it was too hot and took off his shirt, and Zheng Ziheng would help him hold the jacket and hug Zhao Mingjiang's strong waist.

Over the past two years, Zheng Ziheng has changed from a fair-skinned boy to black and thin, with jade-like hands full of calluses. However, with his good grades and calluses, he entered a high school in the provincial capital. But Zhao Ming will think that school is useless, so he goes back to the countryside to farm and fiddle with his masonry work by the way.Zheng Ziheng was pressured by his family of intellectuals, so he had to go to the provincial capital to attend high school. He worked hard during the day and went to self-study at night. When he was on vacation, he would go back to the countryside to help Zhao Mingjiang accumulate work points and became half of Zhao Mingjiang's family. child.

At the age of 20, Zheng Ziheng graduated from high school and was arranged to return to Yangzi Middle School as an ordinary archives manager.During the chaotic work, he received a letter from General Zhao Ming, inviting him to return to his hometown to reminisce about the old days.

However, the letter arrived a few days late.

When Zheng Ziheng ran back to the countryside excitedly and somewhat uneasy, he saw a big red list posted on the lintel of the Zhao family’s door, which said “Military Glory”. Going out, the people on both sides of the road are full of singing and dancing farewell, and there is even a lion dance team.

Amidst the crackling firecrackers, Zheng Ziheng rushed out of the crowd, chased the truck and shouted Zhao Mingjiang's name.Zhao Ming pushed his way from the truck full of youths enlisted to the edge of the truck, smiled and waved to him.

In that year, China fought back in self-defense against Vietnam. In that year, China and the United States established diplomatic relations. In that year, there was a song later sung: "The spring thunder awakened the inside and outside of the Great Wall, and the spring sun warmed both sides of the river." Zheng Ziheng did not Feeling the warmth of Chunhui, but being shocked by Chunlei, he suffers from insomnia all day long.

Zhao Mingjiang later said with a smile that when he saw Zheng Ziheng's letters, he answered every one of them. He wrote more letters than family letters, and he wrote more love letters than the person he was with at the time.

This farewell, four years.

Four years later, the two reunited after shaking hands. Zheng Ziheng entered the government office, dressed in official uniform and carrying a briefcase.Zhao Ming, wearing a big red flower on his chest, came back to cultivate a new countryside, holding his girlfriend Liu Xuehua who had written letters for four years.

Zheng Ziheng applied for a transfer to work in the countryside where General Zhao Ming worked.

Zhao Ming will continue to open up wasteland, and he will be his mason after finishing the land reclamation. He doesn't plan for anything, he only likes his fiancée, and only wants to build a house for her with his own hands.Zheng Kai is very busy at work and works very hard. He often uses some subsidies and fruits from his unit on holidays to supplement the health of Zhao Mingjiang's fiancée. Going to snatch the wife of the honest countryman.

Two years later, Zhao Ming will build the new house with his own hands.

Zheng Ziheng participated in Zhao Mingjiang's wedding, helped him get around, found eight palanquins to carry the bride, and carried the bride all the way from Zhao Mingjiang's house to his husband's house, and into the new house.Zheng Ziheng went into battle himself, blowing the trumpet with red flowers, and happily blowing it all the way to the wedding room.On the night of the wedding room, Zheng Ziheng was drunk and cried for some reason.

Later, some people always said that they heard Zheng Ziheng say something about his sister-in-law's life that night, and asked him, why didn't he say that Zhao Ming will have a good life?

The family is very anxious. Zheng Ziheng's brother Zhao Mingjiang, a farmer who faces the loess and his back to the sky, is married. In the era when it was common for men to get married at the age of eighteen or nineteen, Zheng Ziheng took Zhao Mingjiang into consideration both in terms of family background and education. It's been thousands of miles, but Zheng Ziheng doesn't even have a partner.
