Gao Jianfeng drove straight in, and entered the front hall again from the back kitchen of Wuji Barbecue, looking at the posture of being familiar with the road, as if he was not too far away from going home.

"Is this store your true love?" Xia Tian sat down and asked with a smile.

Gao Jianfeng didn't deny it, and he just turned into a foodie and seriously sold it: "If you try their signature steamed bun, you will definitely fall in love with it. It's really addictive."

Just as he was talking, the shop owner Fatty Wu came out with his arms swung. Seeing Xia Tian, ​​he was obviously stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything. He turned his face and greeted Gao Jianfeng: "Let's go, sit in the private room."

"What time is it, I want three steamed buns." Gao Jianfeng responded with a smile, and asked Xia Tian, ​​"Can you eat spicy food?"

Xia Tian nodded: "Yes."

After Gao Jianfeng asked, he and Fatty Wu went straight into the back kitchen, and it took a long time to come out, with a soda bottle in one hand and a beer in the other, and he went to self-service.

Xia Tian consciously dragged the soda to him, remembering that when he was doing his homework just now, Gao Jianfeng had been flipping through a C language book on the side, and then began to explain the idea of ​​the question. The wine is also drunk, and the homework is definitely not going to be done.

Seeing Gao Jianfeng light a cigarette casually, Xia Tian was rather curious: "It's both cigarettes and wine, isn't it afraid that your dad will smell it?"

"He doesn't care." Gao Jianfeng's face was flat, "He is a smoker and alcoholic himself. I don't know if he is bragging if he dared to drink [-]% alcohol when he was my age."

Xia Tian raised his eyebrows: "That's almost the same as drinking alcohol directly. Is there such a high degree? Unless it's in a brewery."

"Almost." Gao Jianfeng exhaled smoke rings, "At that time, he was in the Great Northern Wilderness, and the Production and Construction Corps harvested grain and made wine by themselves. He was the squad leader, and he organized to watch movies. He was not on duty, and the soldiers below were afraid of him He was cold, so he secretly gave him a bottle of wine. He didn't know it was the head of the wine, so he drank it all with peanuts, and didn't feel anything. Probably since then, he felt that he was very capable of drinking. Invincible, sweeping thousands of troops invincible."

It was good at the beginning, but then it was ironic again. It seems that whenever Gao Kejian is involved, Gao Jianfeng will bring out some emotions.

Xia Tian didn't know what the conflict between the father and son was. According to his imagination, Gao Kejian should be the kind of man who doesn't interfere with his son's smoking and drinking, doesn't bother about his son's homework, and doesn't prevent his son from coming out for supper.In terms of enlightenment, he has far surpassed many fathers who care about everything and always point fingers.

At best, he was a bit unsmiling, but it was not a major problem of principle, so the root of the conflict was probably just because Gao Jianfeng suffered from the second disease of middle school.

The more Xia Tian thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and he couldn't help sighing sincerely: "At least he doesn't interfere in your life, and the rest is not important."

Gao Jianfeng was picking up the beer bottle, and when he heard this, he immediately put it down again, "Smoking and drinking, he has no position to control, and based on his consciousness, he thinks that men should smoke and drink. What else? I Is it his turn to intervene? What’s more, he doesn’t care about this matter at all. In the final analysis, what he manages and what he cares about most is my life. I must follow the route he planned and live according to his ideas. "

Listening to these two "musts", Xia Tian thought that there are not a few parents with this crux in the world, "Then his thinking is very different from yours? Is it too big to be reconcilable?"

Gao Jianfeng curbed the righteous indignation just now, and smiled slightly: "I want to go to university and do the job I like. He wants me to serve in the army and serve in the army for a lifetime. I can't leave early or pick someone up. What do you think?"

Xia Tian sucked on the soda, and felt that it was no big deal: "But this kind of thing, he can't force your head to do it, the initiative is still in your own hands."

Gao Jianfeng didn't speak, but smiled for a long time.However, this smile clearly made Xia Tian feel that he just said something stupid.

"Sorry, I don't understand very well," Xia Tian looked at him, "Don't mind if I'm wrong."

Gao Jianfeng shook his head: "It's okay, of course you don't know him."

"Then..." Xia Tian tentatively asked, "You hate being a soldier? Surely you won't go to a military academy in the future?"

He intended to talk about which school Gao Jianfeng wanted to apply to and what major he wanted to study, but Gao Jianfeng answered firmly first: "No, I don't accept being arranged by him."

After a pause, he said slowly again: "I don't reject being a soldier. My whole family is a soldier, and so is my mother. She is a military doctor. I died on the Sino-Vietnamese border when I was three years old. At that time, she was not needed to go On the front line, it was her husband who dispatched a group of people from their hospital, including her... but obey orders and obey orders, soldiers, there is nothing wrong with this, I can only express regret."

This passage was spoken in a calm manner, but Xia Tian still caught a tiny trembling from the voice.It is true that Gao Jianfeng controlled it very well, and those weak emotions could only be regarded as fleeting.

But it was enough, enough to break Gao Jianfeng's usual rock-solid appearance of not caring about anything.

Xia Tian was a little hesitant, not thinking about whether to go further. This topic might make Gao Jianfeng feel uncomfortable. At this moment, the clerk of the small shop "timely" served three steaming hot cumin buns.

The thought was interrupted, which may indicate that the time has not come, Xia Tian decided to give up first, "I'm sorry..."

He said softly, then looked at Gao Jianfeng's frowning, and suddenly felt a little annoyed, annoyed that he could only say these three words, and he couldn't do anything else.

Gao Jianfeng quickly relaxed his brows, pulled the corners of his mouth, and returned to a calm and breezy look: "How many times do you say apology in one night? Why are you always so polite. Eat it while it's hot. It tastes especially good when it's hot and spicy." , and also particularly scurrying."

Xia Tian was not very hungry at this moment, but he still cooperated to pick up a steamed bun, smelling the aroma escaping from the opening, he took a bite without knowing the taste.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Gao Jianfeng asked.

The lips and teeth are full of the fragrance of pepper and the richness of beef cumin, and then mixed with salivary amylase, Xia Tian raised his head, and his eyes could not hide his amazement.

Xia Tian gave a thumbs up almost reflexively: "Really, very...delicious!"

After satisfying his appetite, the matter of asking Gao Jianfeng to volunteer was thrown out of the blue.That night, they talked about a lot of miscellaneous topics. Gao Jianfeng swept away the haze before, and led Xia Tian to talk about the current rock music in Europe and America.Looking back on it afterwards, I was completely a person who wanted to talk, but was finally caught by the other party and saw everything at a glance.

This is called planting flowers deliberately, but a few days later, when playing with Wang Yang and his group, Xia Tian overheard the answer.

Wang Yang and Liu Jing are currently the two most leisurely people in the third year of No. [-] Middle School, except for the sports students.My own grades are barely enough for a book, and my family has contacted the military academy early. As long as I perform normally in the college entrance examination, I will definitely be admitted.But it's all like this, and they still can't stop the two of them from picking their noses and eyes.

During the intermission, Wang Yang drank half a bottle of Coke and complained hiccuppingly: "I don't want to go to Los Angeles so much, and I still want to learn foreign languages. If you guys choose a female major, what a fucking loss."

"That's right, I want to learn it. My dad insisted on learning ammunition engineering." Liu Jing wiped his sweat and smiled helplessly, "I will retire and look for a job. When people ask you what you will do, I can't say Will I be inserted into Kaishan? At that time, the Fireworks and Firecracker Factory will probably be able to take me in. So your father still has the foresight, Los Angeles City still has stewed noodles, anyway, you don’t know what you want to learn, don’t be serious, Make do with it."

"It's as if you know it." Wang Yang glanced at him, raised his hand and threw the ball to Xia Tian in the field, "Hey, second grader, have you decided what major you want to study?"

Standing outside the three-point line, Xia Tian took a shot, the ball circled twice in the basket, and tremblingly, it actually went in.

"Biopharmaceuticals," he replied with a smile back, "tentatively."

Wang Yang and Liu Jing looked at each other with four eyes. If you want to say the four words of biopharmaceuticals, they both understand it alone, but it makes people feel confusing when they are combined.

After a long while, Liu Jing smacked his lips and sighed with emotion: "It seems that everyone who studies well has ideals, and the gap was placed there early in the morning, just like Gao Jianfeng, who said he wanted to study electronic information engineering when he was fighting in the first year of high school. What the hell, I don't even know what an electron is anyway."

Wang Yang suddenly pondered and said: "I remember that the school in Los Angeles also has this major. Hey, don't be fooled by their tutors, and send people there directly. If you really want to do that, it will be very lively."

Liu Jing: "Isn't there an agreement? No matter how fascist the teacher is, the basic faith is still spoken. You can't go back on what you said."

Xia Tian has been listening with ears pricked up, strolling back to drink water, and asked "casually" as he walked: "What did you two agree on?"

Liu Jing smiled and replied: "No, this is about Gao Jianfeng and his father. The father and son are very funny. One insists on letting his son serve as a soldier, and the other insists on dying. So there is a gentlemen's agreement that Gao Jianfeng must remain the first in the grade. , his father promised to let him take the local university, are you kidding?"

"It's quite funny!" Wang Yang said happily, "If I were his father, I would have to make an appointment with the provincial ranking. Just Gao Jianfeng swept the No. [-] middle school, and being the first in the grade is not like playing."

After finishing speaking, the two suddenly looked at Xia Tian together.

Liu Jingxian said leisurely: "Forgot, there is a second grader here. Since I heard that he is a brother, he is not allowed to pass Gao Jianfeng's exam. This is a big issue related to his future and destiny. There must be no mistakes."

Wang Yang clicked his tongue: "I'm bluffing, I don't believe Gao Jianfeng's strength."

"What if you don't perform well? As the saying goes, people make mistakes, and Gao Jianfeng makes mistakes." Liu Jing made a serious face and looked at Xia Tian, ​​"To be honest, just keep the second child. Jianfeng is in a hurry with you."

Xia Tian really didn't think about surpassing Gao Jianfeng, but at this moment, all the pictures in his mind were what Gao Jianfeng would be like when he was in a hurry, and he was lost in thought for a while, so he forgot to answer Liu Jing's words.

Sitting next to him, Wang Yang patted him on the shoulder: "Don't listen to Liu Jing's nonsense, Gao Jianfeng is not that stingy, and he will never be in a hurry with you about this matter."

Xia Tian came back to his senses and smiled at him, before the smile could fully unfold, the two of them sang together and said at the same time: "But, we will!"

Liu Jing stared at the somewhat astonished Xia Tian, ​​and added another knife with a smile: "So please don't do anything to be sorry for your brother, otherwise, we will never, no, answer, yes!"

Being ridiculed and threatened like this, it's strange to say that Xia Tian didn't feel any discomfort in his heart, on the contrary, he seemed a little proud to know that Gao Jianfeng had such a strong buddy.It's just that he doesn't quite know whether he himself can be regarded as Gao Jianfeng's iron porcelain at this moment?

After the matter passed, Xia Tian didn't ask Gao Jianfeng any more questions about volunteering.A few days later, before school was over at noon, I was catching up with a drowsy political class. Xia Tian was drowsy, recalling the loyalty of Wang Yang and his gang, and suddenly saw the classroom door being pushed open. He poked his head, greeted the political teacher first, and then called out: "Xiamen, come out for a while."

Xia Tian hurriedly stood up, and Gao Jianfeng also quickly turned his face, looking at him with questioning eyes.

Not knowing what the situation was, Xia Tian had no choice but to shrug his shoulders, and walked out quickly without daring to delay.

In the end, it was not Zhou's mother looking for him, but Chen Fan.

Chen Fan was in the reception room, and when Xia Tian entered, he saw a somewhat anxious expression on her face.It's probably been a long time since I saw her in a well-lit environment. When I saw her at this time, Xia Tian was shocked to realize that her complexion was pale and her cheeks were sunken—Mrs. It's choking.

"Summer, I'm so sorry." Chen Fan took out an insulated lunch box and put it on the table, "This is a freshly cooked meal. The garden is looking for me urgently. I have to go there now. I have to trouble you for lunch." Grandma delivered a meal."

During Mrs. Xu's hospitalization, Chen Fan's daily schedule was very regular: he went home in the morning to rest for a while, made breakfast and brought it with him, and came back before noon to prepare lunch and dinner before taking it with him.Tossing and turning every day, she refused to eat the hospital food because of the old lady Xu. The reason was that it was expensive and unpalatable, but obviously, she didn't consider the labor cost at all.

But it was the daughter-in-law who made the trouble. In the eyes of Mrs. Xu, the daughter-in-law didn't make trouble anyway, so it was only natural to make trouble.

Chen Fan said, and took out ten yuan from his pocket: "You take the car money first, it's cold, don't ride a bike, go by car."

Xia Tian didn't pick it up, only noticed that there were several cracks on the delicate skin of Chen Fan's hands, he lowered his eyes and shook his head: "No, riding a bike is faster than taking a car, don't worry, I will go to the hospital to deliver meals as soon as school is over."

Chen Fan wanted to say something more, Xia Tian pretended to look at his watch, "Auntie, I still have classes, I'm going back first, you will ride slowly later, I will go to the hospital to pick up Xu Qiangqiang in the afternoon."

Carrying the lunch box and walking back, it felt quite heavy, Xia Tian knew that it was for two people, besides Mrs. Xu and Xu Qiangqiang.Ordinarily, it is superfluous for an old lady to go to the city to see a doctor, and taking a little grandson with her is unnecessary. Not to mention making a fuss, it is not conducive to peace of mind and recuperation. No matter how you look at it, it does not make sense.

Xia Tian hadn't thought about this pair of grandparents and grandchildren before, one had nothing to do with him, and the other was because of his dislike for Xu Qiangqiang, he didn't want to think about that bastard when he was free or not, but now he was blown by the cold wind, He suddenly became a little puzzled—the old lady Xu brought Xu Qiangqiang must have a purpose, and combined with Xu Bing's seizures several times, the eyes of the two seemed to have class hatred, so this purpose should be for Xu Bing's mother. Women's lives have no small impact.

What he promised, he had to do it no matter how unwilling he was. After class at noon, Xia Tian hurried to the hospital. The temperature outside dropped sharply, and he was riding against the wind, his face was numb from the blowing.Fortunately, the hospital is still relatively warm, but the corridors emit an unpleasant smell of rice, and when mixed with the smell of disinfectant, it can completely eliminate the appetite.

Rubbing his stiff face all the way, Xia Tian walked to the door of the ward.Mrs. Xu was admitted to the military hospital because of her son's relationship, but she still enjoyed the treatment of ordinary people, with six people in one room.Of course, having more people is also good for her to grit her teeth and ask for gossip.

So before he entered the door, he heard Mrs. Xu yelling angrily: "It's not that I said, you can't think about it, big sister, you can keep whatever your daughter-in-law buys, and you should give her back what she should eat and drink." Save money, isn't her money your son's money?"

The voice of the old lady in the next bed was obviously lowered by an octave: "You can't say that, she also has a job, and my daughter-in-law is very promising. She works in a big company, and she has a lot of money just by paying dividends a year."

"Oh, then you are lucky. You will benefit from a capable and earning daughter-in-law in the future."

"Your daughter-in-law is not bad either, she will take care of her in bed every day, so careful, old sister, your life will be fine."

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Xu pursed her lips, and flatly denied, "She has no skills. If you let her take care of you, you won't be able to earn two big sons at work. Everyone at home and outside is pointing at my son. You said marrying such a What's the use of a woman coming back, I can't raise my son, my son has worked hard in the army for these years, and in the end, there is no successor."

"Grandma, you don't mean to adopt me to the second uncle," Xu Qiangqiang interjected in a high-profile manner at this time, "I will be the second uncle's son from now on."

The old lady in the next bed was a little surprised: "Old sister, can this baby be adopted? The army doesn't allow it. Doesn't your son also have a daughter?"

"Girl is the best? It's really not good, so let the two families change the baby, and the daughter will be adopted by the eldest son of my hometown. My eldest grandson will have to go to the city to go to school, so that he can have a good future in the future." Mrs. Xu finished talking, and changed the subject. , "Qiangqiang, remember well, the second uncle is your father, and your father is still your father. You have to respect him when you get old, but don't dare to ignore your own father, or you will be hit by thunder!"

Whether Xu Qiangqiang will be struck by lightning is still unknown. Anyway, Xia Tian, ​​who was standing outside the door at this time, already felt that he was burnt from head to toe by the lightning.
