I walked out of the bungalow and saw the young man squatting at the door. He found me approaching and cast his eyes on me naturally.I walked up to him and said, "I want to see Lao Bo."

The young man froze for a moment, stood up silently, walked straight forward without even looking at me.I followed him slowly, full of apprehension.After listening to Lin Zhi's story, I was both heartbroken and hesitant, but at that time I didn't have much time to make me cry, the most urgent thing should be to redeem Lin Zhi's life, but I always felt that it was not easy to reach an agreement.

There is an alley behind Lianxiang Pavilion, where Lao Bo lives. The young man took me in, knocked on the door, and let me step into the house.

After Lao Bo saw me, he didn't speak immediately, but stared at me fixedly, as if he was waiting for me to explain why, he seemed to be very surprised by my visit.

"I have something important to talk to you about." Unable to bear the embarrassment of silence, I said straightforwardly.

Lao Bo waved his hand to signal me to sit down, then sat up straight and waited quietly for my explanation.

I said, "I want to help Lin Zhi redeem himself."

Lao Bo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, and said: "I have been working for so many years, and the people who came to help rabbits redeem themselves are either officials or businessmen. This is the first time I have met a poor scholar like you. .Do you know how much it will cost? Can you afford it?"

As soon as his words came out, I knew he was trying to embarrass me and wanted me to retreat in spite of the difficulties. However, unfortunately, I had no intention of retreating at all.

"Tell me how much it costs."

Lao Bo immediately spread out his palm, opened his five fingers, and said, "Five oceans."

I paused, and then said confidently: "No problem, give me two days, after two days I will use the money to redeem Lin Zhi's body."

"Really?" Lao Bo couldn't help showing suspicion when he saw that I was full of confidence.

I responded, "Really."

That day, I went straight back to school and took two days off, then went to the train station to buy a round-trip ticket to Baoding.To be honest, I don't know if I should do this, but it's really the only way to raise five oceans.

Six years have passed since I left my hometown to live in Peiping. In the past six years, I have not gone back, and I dare not go back.After all, I was just a scholar who talked nonsense at the beginning that I wanted to create a big career. I am afraid that my personality is destined to not be able to do great things.It never occurred to me that I would go back for the first time in six years to ask them for money, or to save a guy they had never met. Therefore, I was very hesitant about whether they would lend me money.

Going back with the cheek was out of helplessness. I never calmed down a bit during the period from packing my luggage to getting on the train.It was not a holiday that day, and I didn’t send a telegram to go home to inform, so I got on the train to Baoding early in the morning without any preparation, and drove to my hometown. Generally speaking, I already expected that they would be shocked.

During the more than four hours spent on the train, I have been thinking about how to explain to them. If I was beaten up by my father after I finished explaining, I would not be surprised, but I watched the window slowly passing by. I can't help but think of my hometown, and I suddenly feel relieved.If you want to beat, you can beat, if you want to scold, you can scold me, at least it is my family, just don't beat me to death, anyway, I just came back for a day, and left that night, at least, don't force me to do that thing is enough.

Walking along the green path, you will arrive at the market in Minfan Town. After passing through the market and walking a little further, you will see a piece of farmland, and that piece of farmland is the landmark of Mingxi Village.Many villagers make a living from farming, so the farmland is an important place for their survival.But in this village, there are four families who do not need to do farming. They are relatives of the warlords, and they obtained official positions in the Beiyang government through their connections, and one of them is my father.It is also thanks to him that our family has a big house with a courtyard, which is not something that ordinary people have, so my Liu's family can be called a big family in a small town like Mingfan Town.

Originally, it would take at least three quarters of an hour to walk home from the market, but unexpectedly, I ran into my brother at the market.

He patted my shoulder at that time, and I hesitated for a while. After all, I haven't seen each other for many years, and it happened suddenly, and my face was a little dazed.He hasn't changed at all, he is still the old brother in my memory.

"The end of the year? It's really the end of the year! My grandma, I hope you will come back!"

"Brother." As soon as I replied to him, he hugged me fiercely in his arms.

"Oh my God! How long have you been wandering outside, I miss you so much." After finishing speaking, he let go of his hand, "Come on! Get in the car, I'll take you back."

I glanced at the bicycle beside him, and laughed out loud, "That's amazing, bro, you can even ride a bicycle."

"Ah? Didn't you learn it in Peking? I'll teach you later. Come, come up."

I got on the back of my bike and headed against the wind through the crowds, the houses, and the fields.Even in the backseat, the wind tickled my neck and almost made me laugh.So comfortable!I couldn't help sighing secretly, such a pleasant mood can only be felt in my hometown.

"We're here." My brother called me, and I realized that I had already arrived at the door of the house.On the gate of that majestic mansion, there is a plaque that allows people to recognize their location at a glance. The Liu Mansion is still hung on it. Feel strange, it can be said that things are different from others.

I watched my brother push open the door in front of me, and the scene inside the mansion gradually unfolded. I took a deep breath and stepped into the house. I'm home!"

Following the call came a friendly and extremely familiar face, my mother's wrinkled face.In my eyes, she has aged so much in the not so long six years. The mother in my memory still has black hair, and a kind and dignified face. Although she is not young, she is definitely not old. I think that time has quietly consumed my mother's years during the few years I have been away.

I only saw my mother walking towards me slowly limping, and when she walked in front of me, I was surprised to see that her eyes were already wet with tears. She stroked my face, and a hoarse voice came from her trembling mouth. Voice: "Mo'er, is it really you?"

I held back my tears: "It's me, I'm back."

"Woo...my son..." My mother hugged me gently, and the slow movements seemed to be very difficult, which made me wonder if she had suffered from some serious illness in the past few years, and I was worried every time I thought about it.But seeing my mother and elder brother weeping with joy, I couldn't help but think, maybe I should come back sooner.

It's just that there is another important person who has not been seen above, and there is no doubt that that person is my father.

Before they asked me why I came back, I blurted out: "Where's Dad?"

"Still working at the unit." The elder brother walked out again, "I'll call him right away and call him back."

"Then trouble you, I do have something important to tell him."

"Why are you being polite, two brothers?" As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on his bicycle and roared away.

My mother and I took this opportunity to talk alone for a while. I talked about my life in Peiping, and she also talked about the current situation of this family. From her words, it can be seen that she really broke up for my brothers. Xin, especially when my mother said that my brother is 28 years old, he still has nothing to do, and he is not yet married. According to my mother, she arranged for my brother to have many blind dates, but they all failed. "I don't know what he is picking." The mother said, "If it were someone else, the child would be almost ten years old. Can I not be in a hurry?"

Of course, I was only two years away from my elder brother, and it was inevitable that I would be urged to marry, but once my mother saw my serious expression, she immediately stopped mentioning it.

"What are you talking about?" Not long after, my brother came back on his bicycle. "It's already noon, haven't you eaten yet?"

"Ouch! Look at my memory, I'm going to remind Sister Zhen." The mother muttered, and immediately ran to the kitchen in short steps.

Seeing my mother's tired figure, I immediately stood up and said, "Let me help."

"No, no, you sit down." After saying this, my mother disappeared.

The elder brother put the bicycle away, and Han Sui said, "It must be tiring to travel long distances."

"It's okay." We continued chatting, "Will my father be called back suddenly, will it hinder his work?"

"The youngest son's return to his hometown is such a big matter, there is no hindrance or no hindrance, he has to come back."

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for coming back suddenly."

The old man gave a dissatisfied "tsk": "Really, after staying in Peiping for a long time, I have become a mother, right? Ah no, I should be more like an old man in Peiping..."

I squeezed a wry smile and said, "What mother! I'm just a scholar."

When my brother laughed, I laughed too.Afterwards, the family had lunch together, chatted about the daily life, and took the opportunity to take a walk around the hometown. After all, I haven't been back for a long time, and this small town has also changed a lot.

My father came home around Shin time.When he saw my face, he still had a serious expression: "You're back?"

"Yes, Dad." I replied.

My mother took off his coat for him, and whispered to me: "He just loves to put on a show, and he must be very happy."

Her father stared at her, then sat down trembling.

"It's so slow, Dad." The old man complained.

"I'm busy today." My father stared at me with a stern face. "Is there anything you want to tell me when you go home this time?"

I looked away and joked, "There is no better way to know a son than to be a father."

"Oh, what's the matter! Don't you just go home and see us." Feeling that something was wrong, my mother didn't want to make the atmosphere serious, and hurriedly called me back.

"Mom, I bought a train ticket for tonight, so I may not be able to eat dinner."

"Why are you in such a hurry, don't stay for a few days."

"I have something urgent, I have to come back." After waiting for a long time, I finally got to the point, "Father, I'll just say it straight, I want to borrow five oceans."

Immediately, my father glared at me, slapped the table and yelled, "You son of a bitch! Ask for money as soon as you get home!"

The mother was startled, and hurried forward to help: "Master, don't say that, Mo'er must have some difficulties, right?"

My father smiled coldly and said, "Hmph! What are your difficulties? You were talking about *open and free Western stuff, but now you are so poor that you have to go home and beg for money."

"Dad! I'm poor, but I have the backbone. I want to start from scratch with my own efforts. Unlike you, everything depends on relationships."

Accidentally raised his tone and made his father jump in anger. This anger made his face swell red, and his face became even more terrifying. "I don't rely on relationships. Our family can eat and drink enough? You! You Will the boy dare to leave his hometown by himself? Isn’t it because he has a warlord’s family as his backer?” When the father said excitedly, he stood up unconsciously, “You rebellious and unfilial son! Don’t forget your origin!”

My mother and elder brother saw that the atmosphere between my father and son was tense, and they both wanted to come forward to help, but they were stunned by my actions. I held my breath, and knelt down in front of my father: "Father, the child is self-sufficient!" I don't know filial piety, I forget my source when I eat water, I don't know my blessings when I am in the blessing, and... I am still a Confucian who can run away from marriage. It is unfilial for my father to disgrace in front of the Zhou family. However, I borrowed money The reason is not because I only care about having fun and am too poor to eat, but because I am here to save my friends."

After listening to my explanation, my mother pleaded with my father and said, "Look, this kid is as kind as ever. He is used to help others, not to do evil."

Father thought about it and said, "What kind of friend is it?"

"It's a young man in his teens. I became a brother-in-law with him when I was living in Peiping."

The elder brother said with a smile: "Ha! It's the adoptive brother. Dad, in other words, it's your adoptive son. Since he is the adoptive son, please do me a favor."

My father stared at me who was still kneeling on the ground, still full of doubts: "Why did you use five oceans to save him? Did he do something wrong?"

I glanced at my father guiltily, knowing that I couldn’t let them know that what I wanted to save was a male prostitute, especially for such a traditional and strict father, if I said it, it would be a mess, so I hesitated for a while and fooled it: “He didn’t commit any crimes. It's just causing trouble. But please rest assured, as long as you help him with money, the matter will be resolved, and you will never cause trouble."

The father sighed, turned around and said to his mother, "Mother, this child doesn't look like me at all. Do you think he is kind or stupid!"

Mother smiled slightly and said, "Why isn't it like you! Isn't it as important as you?"

Anyway, in the end, my father's anger was completely gone. He walked with his hands behind his back and said, "Get up, my son has gold under his knees."

I immediately stood up happily and followed my father's pace to the study.In the past, my father always liked to lecture me and my elder brother in the study room. That time, I couldn't help but prepare for the lecture.

After stepping into the study, my father unlocked the drawer, took out a few silver dollars and stuffed them into my hand. I counted the silver dollars in my hand, and found six, and quickly said, "Father, there is one more."

"You can use that to eat something good and buy some good clothes. You see that you are a member of the Liu family but you are dressed in rags. Your mother must feel distressed when she sees it."

I was very moved by what my father said, and my mother was right, he was as sharp as a knife.After all, I am his son after all, and he is my father after all.

"Daddy, thank you so much."

"It's free if you thank me. You, it's enough when you can bring me a daughter-in-law back."

My expression froze instantly: "For the time being... there is no girl I can bring back."

"That's it," my father put his arm on my shoulders, "Then your engagement with Miss Zhou is..."

"Father!" I immediately interrupted my father, "I still have to catch the train, so we won't chat."

The father looked disappointed, and said: "Mo'er, what's wrong with Miss Zhou, why don't you..."

I insisted on not saying anything about it: "Father, I really have to go. I will pay you back the next time I come back."

My father opened the door and walked with me: "Oh...you have grown up so much, I can't say anything about you. The money is not worth mentioning, let alone our family, there is no such thing as borrowing and repaying. The money is not used. Still, but I still have to go home." I watched my father's strong back, and felt the long-lost warmth in my heart.

For a long time, I have interpreted the guilt towards my family as fear, which led me to spend six years of loneliness, and made my family worry in vain for six years. Only in the end did I realize that this family still welcomes me, and it is still the same as I am familiar with. , so to speak, I really asked for trouble.
