Jiaojiu Nuanyang

Chen Jingdong took a day off on Wednesday. Time was tight and the task was urgent, so he really couldn't sit down with the old brothers to drink and catch up.

On Tuesday afternoon, the flight flew directly to City C and changed trains twice. It was dark when we arrived at the gate of the army.

Lu Ganning and Lei Daudao, four or five of them, were waiting there.Looking at the silhouettes of those figures from a distance, and the flickering scarlet cigarette butts, Chen Jingdong felt unspeakable excitement and anxiety in his heart, like a wanderer returning home suddenly, feeling timid when he is close to his hometown.Even the sound of the wind blowing through my ears was different.

"Brother Dong!" Lei Boldly rushed forward with a few big strides, hugged Chen Jingdong firmly, and punched him affectionately: "You're fucking here, it's really hard to wait. Follow your orders , I detained Xiao Fangkun!"

Wang Yan, another familiar comrade-in-arms, followed behind him: "Brother Dong, don't worry, we listened to you, we didn't tell the big guys, only a few of us in a small area knew about it."

Then there was Lu Ganning: "Damn it, the sesame seeds fell into the tip of the needle. It's a coincidence. You said Fang Kun ran away from home, why did he just come to your mother's base camp like Chen Jingdong?"

Chen Jingdong felt guilty and didn't dare to say more: "Children, you will be impulsive when your brain is hot. Commissar Lu, brothers, I won't say much thank you. I, Chen Jingdong, will remember it."

——Don’t take me to your army to pull it down!When you make me angry someday, I will run to see it myself.

He forgot what Fang Kun said, but Fang Kun remembered it himself.

"Okay, it's almost time to turn off the lights, so go to the guest house and stay first." Wang Yan stood up behind a familiar face, surnamed Gong, whose name Chen Jingdong couldn't remember for a while: "The political commissar will help you, go Just take your ID card at the front desk and register. The kid is afraid that he will be cold, so he is 'locked up' in the reception room over there."

Compared with the logistics department of the military region in city A, this place is desolate and remote, and the weathered faces of these men are far more rugged than the soldiers in the compound, and even the camouflage uniform is compared to the straight military uniform that Chen Jingdong wears every day. Not so pompous, not so dignified.But.

But Chen Jingdong discovered that the blood hidden deep in his bones would still boil when he touched this place, like a tired bird returning to the forest and swimming into the sea.

"It's getting late," Lu Ganning said confidently, "Jingdong, you take the kid to the guest house, and I'll open a standard room for you. Look after you, we can't do anything if you run away. Let's go together at noon tomorrow Don't worry, the son is going to Qin's mother for a meal. The child is here. I won't persuade you to drink. You have to go to the airport in the afternoon. After finally going back to your mother's house, let's sit down and have a warm meal. That's it, we're all gone. "

The first time Chen Jingdong saw Fang Kun, his heart ached.

The child's hair grows and he loses weight, and the clothes and trousers don't look like iron, but they are almost the same.It hasn't been changed for ten days, it's normal to be dirty.

The only thing that makes people happy is that the child seems to have grown up.After all, it is spring, and it is normal to think about it.

Fang Kun was led out by Wang Yan and handed over to Chen Jingdong. He didn't resist, and kept his head down without saying a word. He was like an obedient puppet among several tall men.

"Hey, isn't this Xiaokun?" The girl at the front desk actually knew Fang Kun, and while taking Chen Jingdong's ID card for registration, she looked at the two of them in surprise: "Are you Xiaokun's relative?"

"I'm his brother." Chen Jingdong glanced at the children beside him, Fang Kun's face was expressionless, and he didn't listen to the girl at the front desk: "Xiao Kun, live here these days?"

The girl shook her head and nodded again, with pity on her face: "Did you sneak out? How can you afford to live in a guest house. I think he is pitiful. He is still wandering on the road at night, so I gave him the duty room."

"Thank you." Chen Jingdong tugged at the boy, and said with a pleasant expression, "Don't you thank this sister?"

The boy pursed his lips and said awkwardly, "Thank you sister."

"Don't run away from now on," the girl smiled and returned the ID card to Chen Jingdong, and said to Fang Kun: "What can't you say to your family? You can't run away from your family. Sudden death? Look at your brother, his mouth is full of blisters."

Fang Kun glanced at Chen Jingdong.

The boy's deep pupils made the man tremble.It's a strange feeling, I can't tell.

After entering the room and closing the door, Fang Kun didn't say a word, and went directly to the bed by the window, took off his shoes and was about to go to bed.

"Fang Kun," Chen Jingdong called him, although he didn't know what to say: "Are you hungry?"

Fang Kun shook his head: "They have cooked for me." Who they are is self-evident.

There is no way to blame, and there is no way to apologize.Chen Jingdong rubbed his hands together: "Taking a shower before going to sleep will make you feel better."

"Don't rush." ​​Fang Kun sat on the bed and turned around, looking straight at him: "Look at me as a beggar, don't you want to embarrass you? Why do you care about me?"

"I don't care who is in charge of you." Chen Jingdong walked over and sat on the side of his bed close to him: "Fang Kun, come back with me, I will take care of you from now on."

Fang Kun shook his head: "I don't care about you, I don't count on any of you."

This sentence is very hurtful, but Chen Jingdong has nothing to say: "I don't advise you to go back to City R. Really, if you don't want to go back, you won't go back. I'll help you study and raise you up, and keep your word."

The boy was still shaking his head, especially stubborn and difficult to persuade: "It's useless, I won't go back. You also said that he is my father, and he wants to take care of me. You have no blood relationship with me, so it's useless. Also, don't think about it." Call my dad and aunt to come over, I have to run when they come, and you will never find me again next time."

Somewhere in his heart was touched, Chen Jingdong cautiously said, "You came here because you hoped that I would come to you, right?"

Fang Kun kept silent, lowered his head and picked his nails.

With a long sigh, Chen Jingdong stretched out his hand to rub his hair like in the past, but the child avoided him vigilantly.

"Don't touch it, it's dirty."

Chen Jingdong simply sat down on Fang Kun's bed and put his arms around the child's shoulders: "What's dirty? I don't dislike you even if you smell bad. Fang Kun, how did you get here all the way?"

Fang Kun didn't speak at first, but then slowly opened his mouth after a while: "I borrowed 500 yuan from Qiangzi before I left, but it was not enough. Later, when I bought a train ticket, I bought a section, and I evaded the fare when I got on the train. The conductor checked the ticket, and I squatted in the toilet... I was caught once, and I had no money to pay the fare, so they kicked me off the train. It was after two o'clock in the middle of the night, and it was a very desolate little station..."

The tone of the person who said it was flat and indifferent, and the heart of the person who listened seemed to be frying all kinds of pain.

"There is really no train to catch here, and there is no escape ticket for long-distance trains. I have no money, so I tried to find a way to hitchhike. Fortunately, I stopped for two hours, and a kind person was willing to take me for a while. I got off and left again. It'll be there in an hour or so."

"Fang Kun, I'm sorry." Chen Jingdong tightened his arms, feeling so uncomfortable that he didn't know what to say, he just repeated his sorry dryly.

"Why do you say I'm sorry? You didn't apologize to me. I said, I don't need you to pity me." Fang Kun sniffed: "I have to support myself. I don't want to live like my dad, so I have to Run away. Don't worry, I hope you can find me, but I don't want you to worry. You go back, I'm fine, it's fine here, and they will soon agree to take me in, if not, I can help feed the pigs and grow vegetables, right? When I'm full, I'll be able to make my own decisions."

No self-blame.Chen Jingdong was thinking, did Fang Kun who was open to him without reservation disappear?Will he never jump on his back again, lie and twist his foot to make himself go back on his back?

The room fell silent for a moment.

"I sent you a message, did you receive it?" Chen Jingdong didn't know what to say, and had nothing to say: "The phone is also turned off."

"I didn't bring a charger." Fang Kun glanced at him with a strange expression: "It's not your information, I still can't make up my mind."

At first, he didn't understand, so Chen Jingdong asked, "What determination?"

"Determination to run." Fang Kun licked his dry lips and grinned: "The messages you send me every day are a life that I can't reach. In comparison, what do I live like? There is no hope. I thought, it can’t be worse, why should I be like Fang Wei? He wants to live such a life but I don’t.”

"I," Chen Jingdong didn't expect to be like this: "I didn't mean to show off, but I just wanted to cheer you up. I hope you know that I'm always by your side to support you."

"Don't take me back, really." Fang Kun's low voice seemed to be pleading: "If you want to help me, you can intercede with your comrades and ask them to accept me."

"Fang Kun," Chen Jingdong sighed, "Your age, where you came from, and your various circumstances. Knowing that this is impossible, why are you stubborn with me? What do you want me to say to satisfy you? Willing to go back with me."

"You adopt me." Fang Kun said without hesitation, looking at him with dark eyes: "I will trust you now. If you adopt me, I will go back with you. You can ask me to do whatever you want."

............................................................

"According to Article 2 of Chapter [-] of the Adoption Law of the People's Republic of China, minors must be under the age of [-]. And Article [-], the adopter must be at least [-] years old." Chen Jingdong looked at Fang Kun and looked at the text searched on the phone word by word. Information, read aloud.

The two of them didn't sleep well all night, but even though they knew each other was tossing and turning, they still didn't speak, and ushered in the dawn of the next day in a daze.

On the first floor, there were few people in the hostel, and the warm-hearted girl cooked the noodles for the two of them herself, which was quite authentic.

Chen Jingdong watched the young Xilihulu eat the noodles, and beads of sweat the size of pinpoints appeared on the tip of his spicy nose.

"Fang Kun," the man pushed the girl's extra two marinated eggs in front of the boy: "Your request is unrealistic, I can do it with another one."

Without saying a word, the boy reached out and pushed the phone back to him, poking the red oil in the noodle bowl with his chopsticks.

"I don't know." Fang Kun bit his lip, with confusion and helplessness written on his face: "I don't know what should I do next time Fang Wei wants to take me back to City R..."

"No." Chen Jingdong said firmly, "As long as you don't want to, I won't let him take you away."

"Really?" The boy raised his eyes with hesitation: "But you..."

Fang Kun didn't finish, but Chen Jingdong understood.

"You don't need to know that some methods are not so aboveboard, just trust me." The man paused for a moment, and continued: "Fang Kun, I will stand by your side unconditionally in the future, promise."

It was just the two of them eating in the small dining room.The dining table in front of me was mottled and mottled. Apart from the paint that had faded over time, there was another place where someone had carved words with a knife: Xiaojuan, I love you forever, Zhang Qiang.

"Brother, do you think I'm particularly annoying? I know this is a small thing to you, not worth mentioning. But it's different to me, I don't know how to say it," Fang Kun was a little anxious He pursed his lips: "My dad thinks I'm sick, why can't I if he can live like this. It's fine if I haven't seen a good one, but I can't bear to go back to his life after I've seen you. I don't want to .”
