godfather

Meng Xiaobei will never forget that birthday.

The beautiful and intoxicating night was the first time in his memory and the only time the two had an overly intimate contact in the following years. It was fleeting and memorable.The real warmth between the lips and tongue, melted into the bones and blood, is enough to linger in the memory for several years, even if he regrettably didn't know how to kiss at the beginning, he was so stupid that he didn't even use his tongue, simply, he just used two lips Suck the little daddy for a long time.Looking back later, it seemed like I was still breastfeeding...

After Shaotang kissed, he didn't say anything, didn't talk about it, and didn't explain anything.

He himself was almost out of breath, because of the excitement and confusion, he let go of his hands, turned his face away, panted for a long time with his head down, sat with his hands down in a daze, and fell into emotion...

Meng Xiaobei pursed his lips, unwilling to wipe off the other party's saliva, so he also sat with his godfather foolishly.

Two fools, intoxicated by alcohol and secret vague feelings, sat on the curb of Exhibition Road and met the defense team members wearing red hoops on the way.People from the defense team saw the two of them from a distance, and there was something wrong, thinking that they were a young couple hugging each other in the street and doing something seriously immoral.Those people hurried over, and they saw that there were two men, one big and one small.

Shaotang was wearing casual clothes.

The defense team asked: "What are you doing? Which unit are you in? Is this child yours?"

Shaotang's eyes were in a daze, his tongue was slightly dull, and there was still a trace of saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth: "Mine."

The defense team was dubious, and asked again: "Why did we just see that you hugged and kissed this child?...Are you kissing?!"

Shaotang: "..."

There seemed to be two deep whirlpools in Shaotang's eyes, with water vapor and a strong smell of alcohol, when he raised his head, he suddenly woke up more than half.

After only being stunned for a second, Shaotang looked at him blankly, "No."

The two members of the joint defense team blinked and were not very confident. They said to themselves: "Just now...it seems...it seems to be..."

Shaotang suddenly straightened his face, without changing his expression: "You are mistaken, I am his father, this is my son, I will hug him."

Defense team member: "Oh—hug."

Meng Xiaobei was not afraid of people, and he said outrightly from the side: "He is my father!"

"That's my father. He drank too much at Lao Mo just now!"

"He is the People's Liberation Army!"

Shaotang's eyes were straightened but his mind was awake. At that time, there was a "boom" in his head, and the alcohol in his blood vessels evaporated from his pores... He tensed up and lowered his head to touch his trouser pocket. Where is the trouser pocket?Meng Xiaobei took it out for him, and the military ID card was taken out and it was revealed.Meng Xiaobei also took out Shaotang's handkerchief and wiped the drool off his godfather's mouth.

Shaotang whispered as if to comfort Xiaobei: "It's nothing, don't be afraid."

The two sat for a long time until Shaotang stood up again, wiped his eyes dry, held Meng Xiaobei's shoulders, and walked back slowly...

I don't know how I got home that night, I didn't take off my clothes, I didn't wash my face, so they both fell on the bed and slept soundly.It may be because of exhaustion, or subconsciously avoiding each other deliberately.

Sleeping until midnight, the person under Meng Xiaobei's arm moved.When he opened his eyes, Shaotang had already stood up, with his back to him, sitting on the edge of the bed silently in the darkness.

Shaotang is reminiscing, like rewinding, slowly rewinding what happened this whole day, sour, sweet...

Meng Xiaobei said softly, "Godfather."

Shaotang: "Yes."

Meng Xiaobei: "What's wrong?"

Shaotang said lightly: "It's nothing, it's all right. I'm fine, don't worry! Go to bed quickly, I'll get up all night."

Shaotang said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Shaotang went out all night and never came back.Meng Xiaobei opened the door quietly and found that his godfather was sitting at the table in the living room. There was no sofa, and he was sleeping on two table stools put together, leaning back against the wall, his eyes staring straight until dawn.

Shaotang's eyes were a little dazed, but also seemed to be awakened.

When I kissed, I kissed. The temperature of the puppy Ri's mouth and the unique smell of his body seemed to linger in his breath. There was nothing to deny, just liking it.When Shaotang held his big baby's face and kissed it deeply, it didn't have the slightest hint of sensual obscenity, but it was absolutely sincere, treating it like a treasure.If you think about whether you should do anything or not before doing it, you will lose your sincerity.

In the early hours of the morning, in the dimness, Meng Xiaobei felt his godfather came back into the room, stood behind him, covered him with a towel, put his big palm on his head, and touched the back of his head...

There are some things that cannot be restrained from pondering or digging deeper.Whether it was because of Meng Xiaobei's age at the time, or because of the established relationship between the two generations.

For Shaotang, Meng Xiaobei was not his own, and he had no blood relationship in the first place.

However, Beibei is not a stranger who happens to have feelings for each other on the street.Meng Xiaobei is not without relatives or reasons, behind him is the whole family of the Meng family.

He Shaotang is not the kind of man who can't stand things and dare not take responsibility, but he is neither stupid nor stupid, and knows how to measure.In some matters, he was even more calm than others imagined.

……

A period of time after this incident, Meng Xiaobei's life surroundings have undergone great changes.

Shaotang entrusted his connections to help Meng Jianmin get in touch with Dr. Zhang from Shaanxi.The genius doctor surnamed Zhang was originally a local from Qishan, Baoji. It is said that after the Cultural Revolution, he was vindicated and released back to Beijing. Then he returned to his hometown and opened a small hospital in the small county of Baoji. People look at intractable diseases, especially those who avoid the rich and powerful from the capital, because they are afraid of being implicated in politics.

The two steamed buns that Shaotang's father gave in the cowshed back then, a few words of sympathy, really worked.In a turbulent year, money and justice are not important, but friends in need are the most important.

Meng Jianmin held Shaotang's arm, and was really grateful and trusting from the bottom of his heart at that time.

Meng Jianmin said: "Both our sons owe you such a big debt of affection, and the eldest brother doesn't tell you too many words of gratitude from mother-in-law and mother. It's not a lie. My two sons will definitely respect you in the future, and Meng Xiaojing will also Recognize you as a godfather and filial piety!"

Shaotang didn't know why, and immediately refused: "No, Meng Xiaojing doesn't need to recognize me. I have Xiaobei and one son."

In Shaotang's heart, Meng Xiaobei is also the only piece of soft meat.We can't get back what we paid.another one?I am determined not to fall into this "trick"!

Afterwards, Meng Jianmin took Meng Xiaojing back to Xigou again, and frequently went to Baoji to see "Magic Sword Zhang" for medical treatment.It is said that Doctor Zhang did not open Meng Xiaojing's leg with a knife, and Meng Xiaojing's leg was indeed cured later, and gradually recovered its function.As for how to treat it, Meng Xiaobei didn't know much about it at the time, and he didn't care about his brother, he didn't have a heart, and he didn't understand until a long time later, this is a later story.

Meng Xiaojing returned to Shaanxi, and Meng Xiaobei continued to study in Beijing as a matter of course. No one threatened his status, no one competed with him for the favor of his grandparents, so Shaotang felt at ease.

Another important thing, just a few months later, He Shaotang decided to leave Beijing.

Meng Xiaobei couldn't tell what he was thinking at the time, and what his reaction was when his godfather mentioned this to him.

A dazed, quiet, mind becomes empty.

Any reaction from him would not be important at that time, it was impossible for his godson to disobey what Shaotang really decided, and he couldn't control it.

Shaotang took his godson to the Red Scarf Park near the second factory in a sidecar, and sat on a rock by the lake.Shaotang put his arms around Meng Xiaobei's shoulders, the affection between father and son, squeezed hard, and touched his forehead. At that time, he said that his godfather was going to the military academy to study, and he would come back in two years, and he would come back to see you from time to time in between!

Shaotang's eyes are deep and intimidating, brat, listen to your grandparents at home!Don't think that if I'm not in front of you, you won't be taken care of by adults, just play hysteria and play wild, I didn't say I don't care about you!

Meng Xiaobei lowered his head and scratched his hands, asking, "When are you coming back?"

Shaotang said, "I will definitely come back."

Meng Xiaobei pouted slightly: "You don't want me, do you?"

Shaotang said categorically: "You are my son, I am willing to not have you? I will wait for your filial piety when I am old, and you can't rely on it when the time comes."

Meng Xiaobei looked stubborn: "I will definitely miss you."

Shaotang said for a while, "Maybe in a few years you will grow up, have a life that is completely your own, and have all kinds of friends, so you won't miss your godfather. If you wait a few years, you will still miss me stupidly." ..."

He Cheng was promoted in the General Staff, and he was the head of the Special Affairs Department. He always wanted to get his nephew by his side and give him a promising position with good conditions.Is it because Shaotang didn't want to go, he didn't want to mess around with his relationship, and he still went to work under the eyes of his uncle, going in and out of the General Staff compound every day?Based on his years of military experience at that time, he was also in a special era. If he did not go to military academy to become an official, he should retire from active service, and if he did not advance, he would retreat.There was no other way in front of him.

Shaotang left in the fall of a certain year, dressed in military uniform, and took all his luggage with him to report to a certain military academy in Hebei.Influenced by his uncle since he was a child, he still has the blood and ideals of a soldier. He wants to be successful in his studies and make a career. This is his destined destination.Along with them were two comrades who came out from Qishan, young military officers who had made great achievements recommended by the army, and went to the military academy to be gilded.

Because of Shaotang's departure, and also because the Meng family's housing became more comfortable and their living conditions gradually improved, Meng Xiaobei finally moved back to his grandparents' house and has been living with his grandma's house ever since.

He shares a room with his sister-in-law.Sister-in-law sleeps on a big bed, and there is a small wooden bed behind the door in the room, which is Meng Xiaobei's territory, separated by a bed curtain.The bed is very narrow and simple, only one and a half meters wide.He also piled up several layers against the wall, a mess of books, drawing paper, pencils, pens and crayons, and all the finished products or drafts of various stages were pasted on the wall, like a mountain of garbage.

A year and a half later, Meng Xiaobei Primary School also graduated successfully.When he graduated, he had the extra points for winning the city-level competition, and was recommended by the school and the district education bureau. His graduation test scores were not enough, and to his family's surprise, he entered Chaoyang No. [-] Middle School, which was the key district in Chaoyang District at that time.

Their homeroom teacher has been nice to Meng Xiaobei ever since his impression changed once, and he personally wrote a recommendation letter when he graduated, which is very righteous.

Their head teacher wrote in the letter that after teaching for so many years, the first time I met a student made me correct my previous conservative and dogmatic cognition. Exam scores are not the only important thing. This student is very talented outside of class.Meng Xiaobei's paintings have won several awards in children's competitions, and he is the conductor of the school's drum band, leading the drum band to participate in the District Children's Palace.In addition, he is also the main force of their class's New Year's party every year, responsible for organizing various games and programs.He's not as vulgar as singing and dancing. He and Shen Dawei talk about cross talk, they write and direct themselves, one amuses the other, and they represent the class in the whole school, speaking Shaanxi dialect cross talk!

Of course, the sponsorship fee for borrowing fees in key middle schools is higher, and his godfather sent him tuition fees from other places.

Qi Liang, on the other hand, was given a sponsorship fee by his wealthy father, bought points with the money, entered Chaoyang No. [-] Middle School together, and continued to be in the same class.Shen Dawei didn't pass the exam, and he was studying in Balizhuang Ordinary Middle School. The three of them are still close buddies.

The performance of Meng Xiaobei Junior High School is still dazzling. On campus, on the playground, and in various activities, there are active boys in their grade who are eye-catching, and their academic performance is still swaying in the middle and lower reaches.

A key school in the district, there are all kinds of people, it has opened your eyes and gained a lot of knowledge. Meng Xiaobei has made friends from all walks of life since the first day of junior high school. He joined an art interest group and a literary club in the school, and also served as a program host on the school radio station. People, after school, go to the billiard hall, game hall, video hall...

Together with Liangliang and Shen Dawei, he stayed up late watching all-night short movies in the video room, and sometimes didn't go home on weekends, spending the night at Qi Liang's wealthy father's house.

He started to learn to smoke secretly, and he learned it quickly, with cool gestures, and the mouth shape of lightly biting the cigarette butt at the corner of his mouth seems to have been learned from someone since he was a child, and he has been deeply influenced since childhood.

Many boys in the same class smoked. At first they were all curious, but later they became addicted to smoking, and they could attract female classmates.

He kept half a pack of cigarettes in his pocket at all times, and when it was time to change clothes on weekends, he quickly took them out and hid them under the mattress so that his grandma could not find them.His grandma beat people with broom bumps so hard!

They usually talk about girls among their buddies, and they have dated a few girls.

Boys in junior high school who have girlfriends are not really in love.At that time, it was no longer called "talking partner", what they said was "picking up girls", idleness is idleness, just having fun, having a girl by your side is a plus, and not having a girl by your side is a fall!

Picking up girls is actually eating a bowl of fried liver buns at the breakfast shop on the way to school, doing homework together after school, shopping on the weekends, buying a snowman to share, going to the video room to watch banned Hong Kong and Taiwan romance movies smuggled from underground, life Quite pure and simple!

Meng Xiaobei is not the kind of wild bad boy in Yuanjin middle school, those bad students will be sent to work-study school.He's a ruffian, but neither bad nor wild, and keeps the bottom line in his work.

From the second year of junior high school, Meng Xiaobei enrolled in the amateur class of the High School Attached to the Academy of Fine Arts, learning sketching.The money was also sent to him by his godfather, and Shaotang reminded him to visit a teacher.

In the third grade of junior high school, the homework in key schools began to increase, the study was tense, and various ideological mobilizations were usually carried out. Teachers and students were under great pressure, and they smoked more. The lucky money was bought to smoke.There is no time to go shopping and play games with the girl. It just so happens that the girl is the most troublesome.

Over the years, he has been in touch with his godfather.

Shaotang originally said that he would come back after two years of further study, but this time he left, it will be more than four years, and there will be no chance to see him again in four years.It is said that after two years of advanced training, due to his professional expertise, he was transferred to a forest frontier brigade stationed at the northeast junction of Inner Mongolia, where he served as an instructor for two years and was promoted.

It was inconvenient to make phone calls. It was popular at that time to write letters and make pen pals. Meng Xiaobei's pen pal was his Tangtang.He basically wrote a letter every month for four years.For others, he has never been so focused and persistent!Shaotang also wrote back to him.This person is not a long-winded person. When he is free, the text is a little long, and when he is busy, he scribbles a few sentences, talking about the study and tasks in the army.If it was someone else, Shaotang wouldn't even bother to write a word!

Meng Xiaobei once mentioned that he was obsessed with collecting stamps, and his godfather began to find him some beautiful stamps.For ordinary letters worth eight cents, Shaotang sometimes put stamps worth a few cents on the back of the envelope.Later, because the stamps were too beautiful, the letter was lost and stolen.

Meng Xiaobei put Shaotang's letter under a pile of books next to his pillow, turned on the small lamp by the bed at night, pretended to read, and reread Shaotang's words over and over again.

Sometimes I use drawing paper to draw Shaotang. After a long time, the painting becomes more and more abstract. Maybe I miss it too much. The more I draw this person, the more handsome I am, unlike the real person in reality...

Godfather also often sent him things.Other families send good things from Beijing to relatives outside the city, and the two of them are the other way around.His godfather sent milk powder, coffee, plush Lei Feng hats, military coats, rubber shoes, beautiful badges and commemorative medals, and new stick noodles from the countryside.From Hebei to Hebei special products, such as apples and pears; from Inner Mongolia to Inner Mongolia, dried meat and milk powder wool gloves.

Grandma Meng also sent sugar and cakes to Shaotang. After sending it once, Meng Xiaobei and his sister-in-law learned the address and began to take on the task of sending things.

Meng Xiaobei was drawing on the bedside, absent-minded, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw his sister-in-law knitting a scarf leaning on the bedside.

Meng Xiaobei asked: "Sister-in-law, who did you weave for?"

The sister-in-law said, "Give it to me."

The corner of Meng Xiaobei's mouth twitched: "The blue one, I think it suits me well, can you wear it for me after weaving?"

The sister-in-law was silent.

Within a few days, Meng Xiaobei saw his sister-in-law preparing to pack a bag and go to the post office.He quietly poked a hole in his sister-in-law's package and peeked at it. The blue scarf was sent to the address of the Inner Mongolia Army.

Meng Xiaobei was holding the package in his hand, struggling for a while, engaging in a cruel ideological struggle.Should I hide this scarf, or just cut a big hole with scissors...

Sometimes lonely and lonely, sometimes sentimental, sometimes self-pity, worrying about gains and losses.The ignorant and restless boy in adolescence is Meng Xiaobei.

Meng Xiaobei, who is in the third grade of junior high school, looks like a big boy now. He is average in the class, his shoulders are wider, his thighs and calves are stronger than before, and he is no longer a skinny monkey.

Meng Xiaobei usually wears a white round neck t-shirt with a jacket over it. He doesn't like to dress up, he is simple and chic.His hair has been kept in fours and sixes, which became popular in Hong Kong movies.His hair is soft, light brown in the sun, and when the lower lip is raised and blown, the hair curtain will fly handsomely from the eyes, revealing the light-colored scar on the forehead.

He has a thin oval face with slender eyes.

Personality is also "cooler" than before.Entering puberty, the voice began to become rough and hoarse, and the words obviously decreased, which may be because there are not many people around who can talk to each other.

The female students in the class commented on Meng Xiaobei: If you take apart the facial features, you can’t be considered handsome, but it is very interesting, the more you look at it, the more... um... a typical "handsome guy with second eyes".

In the final exam of the first semester, after finishing the second-to-last exam, Meng Xiaobei rode out of the school with a relaxed expression as if he was ready to herd sheep.

Qi Liang rode out to follow: "Xiaobei, you did well in the Chinese test, we are Teacher Xiao's favorite student!"

The corner of Meng Xiaobei's mouth twitched: "Oh, I'm so proud of you."

Qi Liang asked, "Where shall we go to play?"

Meng Xiaobei's slender single eyelids squinted in the sunlight: "Dongdaqiao, game hall!"

A group of girls also rode out, and Qi Liang hooked his hands together: "Hey, Sun Yuanyuan! Here, here!"

Sun Yuanyuan also looks like a big girl, she is still beautiful, and she studies well.

The corners of Meng Xiaobei's mouth curled up, teasing the girl: "The exam is almost over, you still go home to study?"

Sun Yuanyuan: "The last foreign language subject."

Meng Xiaobei teased: "Aren't you the first in the class in foreign language? You still need to review?"

Sun Yuanyuan smiled and retorted: "Aren't you one of the bottom three in the class in foreign language? Why don't you hurry home and review?!"

Meng Xiaobei supported the handlebar with one hand, put one foot on the ground, and laughed loudly: "If I review or not, it's countdown anyway. I still have to review, it's a waste of time for me to play for a long time!"

"Let's go to the game hall?"

Sun Yuanyuan lowered her eyes and struggled in her heart. She wanted to hang out with "bad boys", but she was also worried about her ranking. These are the growing pains of outstanding girls!

Meng Xiaobei took Sun Yuanyuan's schoolbag in a gentlemanly manner and carried it on his shoulder.He put his schoolbag on the back seat.

Qi Liang coaxed: "Yuanyuan, you have to have confidence in Meng Xiaobeiya! With you always around to educate him and encourage him, he will definitely perform exceptionally well in the exam tomorrow!"

The bell on the bicycle sidewalk was ringing, the boys and girls were talking and laughing, Meng Xiaobei held the schoolbag on his shoulder with one hand, and the handlebar with one hand, his back was chic.

Meng Xiaobei and Qi Liang still hated each other all the way, "Get out, don't mess with me, I'm annoying during the exam!..."

Several people went into a game hall in Dongdaqiao together.

The owner of the game hall deliberately opened the store near the school. The school hates these places the most, but the students like them.The consumer group is mainly the student party.

Meng Xiaobei took out money to buy coins for Sun Yuanyuan, and said, "You are a woman, so you girls don't need to spend money when you come out."

In this regard, he has the male chauvinism of northern men, not because Sun Yuanyuan has any special relationship with him, he is very masculine to every girl in the class.

Qi Liang blocked it: "I invite you today."

Meng Xiaobei snorted coldly: "You rich man, your father came back to recognize you again?"

Qi Liang turned his face and yelled: "I'm treating you and you still talk so much? Meng Xiaobei, you bastard!"

Meng Xiaobei narrowed his eyes: "What's wrong with my cheap mouth, someone likes it!"

Qi Liang whispered to Sun Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, don't like Meng Xiaobei, look at your bad eyes!..."

Sun Yuanyuan covered her mouth and smiled, her face was a little red.She never said that she liked Meng Xiaobei, but who couldn't tell?

There is a row of old-fashioned machines in the entertainment hall, and there are several primitive combat driving games with rough screens and manual lever operation.Each of the three had a machine, and Meng Xiaobei first taught Sun Yuanyuan how to play, and then played by himself.Sun Yuanyuan is not very good at fighting, she mainly came to accompany the boy.

Sun Yuanyuan took out a book about astrology and studied it with her head down.Girls start to study constellations crazily, this is a dream of love.

Sun Yuanyuan asked: "Meng Xiaobei, your birthday is August [-]th, you are a Leo."

Meng Xiaobei stared at the screen of the game console, absent-mindedly: "Well, what's wrong?"

Sun Yuanyuan: "Oh... um..."

Qi Liang challenged: "Sun Yuanyuan, what is your zodiac sign?"

Sun Yuanyuan: "I am Pisces."

Qi Liang was very interested: "Hey, what did you find out? Are Leo and Pisces compatible?"

Sun Yuanyuan's eyes showed frustration: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Meng Xiaobei's eyes fixed on the screen flickered for a moment, and his heart moved inexplicably, the soft place where youthful memories and lonely feelings were buried was poked.

Meng Xiaobei took the horoscope book: "Is this accurate?"

Qi Liang also came over to watch, and the three of them rummaged together.

Qi Liang said loudly: "Damn it, I'm an Aries! Meng Xiaobei, you are a lion! We are actually the most harmonious husband and wife constellation! It's so touching!!!"

So touching?Meng Xiaobei got goosebumps all over the ground, and said sneeringly, "That's right, I'm a husband and you are a wife, and the lion ate your bleating little white sheep!"

Meng Xiaobei remained calm, and quickly turned to the page he was looking for, a certain constellation.

Sagittarius born on a certain day in December.

character traits...

Type B blood characteristics...

love fortune...

Best match for marriage...

His heart was surging slightly, his palms were sweating, and a sour-sweet warmth suddenly rushed to his heart.

Leo X Sagittarius, he and he are a perfect match.
