White dove

It was very late, and after the early morning, the border town called, and the voice was very low: "Hey, going back to my hometown is more tiring than being in Yijiang. The relatives who haven't seen each other for a year go directly to the house to find someone, and the whole family has dinner together. Chatting, reminiscing about the old days, most of the chatting is about your business in Yijiang being so big, what can we do together, or how about counting me in?"

"Cough relatives are like this." Tong Tong said, in fact, Tong Shining is a person with a very indifferent concept of relatives. Maybe because of family changes, he took relatives and blood relationship very lightly. When he was a child, there were no relatives in the family.

Bian Cheng said: "A few years ago, my parents just passed away. When the four of us were struggling, no one extended a helping hand. Everyone regarded our family as a scourge, as if it was a huge burden that could not be shaken off. The elder sister and the eldest brother-in-law started to do business, and there were signs of prosperity, and all the people who knew or didn't know and couldn't get along with each other came here."

Tong Tong comforted him: "Let your four sisters and brother-in-laws deal with these favors. You are a young man, just hide behind and be lazy."

Bian Cheng sighed: "You don't know, those three aunts and six wives are watching me the most..."

Before he finished speaking, Tong Tong suddenly thought of something, a sense of crisis suddenly filled his whole body, and he sat up from the bed: "Are you forced to go on a blind date?!"

border town:"……"

"Yes." He said honestly, followed by a muffled laugh.

"Then, then, are you going then?" Tong Tong stuttered suddenly, this is invisible and intangible, and she still wants to go on a blind date? !How can this work!A man really has to be tied to his side!

Biancheng felt the desire to survive, and quickly appeased: "How is it possible! I rejected them all. I said that I would not consider getting married within five years. Their faces changed all of a sudden. You didn't see it. That's wonderful, especially my eldest sister. I think she's about to turn her face on the spot, but it's hard to get angry because there are so many people, so she endured it desperately, it's just..."

Tong Tong was slightly relieved, if a gentle and beautiful young lady who was well-educated and reasonable appeared, he would not be able to make him look like a coquettish girl. This was too much of a chance of winning, hey, no, he hesitated, and asked: "You... you really don't think about getting married within five years?"

"Of course." Bian Cheng blurted out, then realized something, and immediately made amends: "No, I mean, I'm already with you, why are you thinking about getting married?"

"Yeah." Tong Tong replied, what he wanted to know was not this, but...

There seemed to be other people around in the border town, and Tong Tong heard voices from far and near through the microphone, and he asked, "Who is it?"

"My third sister and third brother-in-law live in a small house, and my previous room has been given to the third sister and the others."

"Then where do you sleep?"

"The sofa in the living room..."

"Ah, that's so uncomfortable, and it's so inconvenient for people to come and go." Tong Tong unconsciously lowered her voice, as if she saw Biancheng quietly calling him.

"It's just a few days, and it will be over soon. I can't drive any sister and brother-in-law out to sleep in the living room. Be good, it's okay." Bian Cheng's coaxing voice was so low that he could hardly hear him.

Fortunately, only a few days later, someone on the other end of the phone called Biancheng again, he hung up the phone in a hurry, Tong Tong sighed depressedly.

It's almost two o'clock in the night, and I haven't eaten enough for dinner. Now my stomach is rumbling, Tong Tong gets up and goes to the kitchen to see if there is anything to eat.

Yu Xing and Ren Jikai had already gone to bed at this point, but Tong Tong couldn't help but look at the bedroom at the other end of the living room. In this kind of old house, the two bedrooms are at the two ends of the living room, and each has a narrow corridor. It was dark in the past, Tong Tong fumbled to turn on the lights in the corridor, and was about to go to the kitchen, but saw a familiar green box on the dining table in the living room, it was so familiar, he had eaten too much in this box in the three years of high school All the things Yu Xing left for him for supper after evening self-study.

It was an insulated box. Tongtong touched it, and it was still hot. When he opened it, there was a box of fried rice noodles, served with chicken nuggets, and a little chopped pepper on the rice noodles, which was Tongtong's previous taste.

Tong Tong went back to the bedroom with the insulated box in her arms, unable to tell what it was like. There was a short period of time, after Yu Xing divorced Tong Shining, and she hadn't been with Ren Jikai yet, the time when only mother and son lived together was The happiest days in Tongtong's memory are just too short and fleeting.

While eating supper, he flipped through the chat records with Biancheng. Biancheng always typed and sent messages in a serious manner. When he couldn't hear the tone or see the person, he always thought it was a wooden man without feelings, but Tong Tong didn't feel any emotion at all now. I don’t think he’s being honest, he thinks he’s already “crazy” enough, but there seems to be a huge hidden force in the border town that can destroy everything and overthrow everything, like the tip of an iceberg on the sea, most of him are on the surface of the sea Below, like a whale, swimming slowly and soundlessly, the whole ocean is his.

The meeting with Gu Yingfu was scheduled years ago, and old man Chen told him over and over again not to be late, to dress a little more formally, but not to be nervous, Professor Gu was much more accommodating than himself when he was not in the office.

Tong Tong is not nervous. He also wants to see how Gu Yingfu thinks of him. No matter whether he can go to the research room or not, it is something to be happy to see the recognition of himself from the eyes of a well-known scholar. As for the research If Professor Gu accepts him, Tong Tong will basically decide to go.

Biancheng... He wants to have a good talk with Biancheng, and he will definitely find a solution that bests both worlds. At worst, he will go back to Yijiang every weekend.

Chen Wang specially made an appointment with Gu Yingfu alone. In the tea house rebuilt from an old wooden building by the river, Tong Tong only saw Chen Wang when he arrived. After mentioning some precautions, Tong Tong silently remembered that they were actually minor problems. He thought that he could just be more natural, but the old man said mysteriously, it doesn't really matter, Gu Yingfu will definitely like you.

Gu Yingfu is not what Tong Tong imagined at all. He has seen photos of Gu Yingfu on the Internet, all of which are sitting in a state of seriousness in various academic seminars, but in this private occasion, Gu Yingfu's unruly open-mindedness is completely unrestrained. Like a literati, but like a knight.

Tong Tong shook hands with him. Gu Yingfu's palm was thick and strong. Although his eyebrows, beard, and hair were all gray, his eyes were full of energy and his voice was loud: "Tong Tong, you don't even know how many times old Chen mentioned you in front of me, It made me very curious, what kind of student would make this old man miss you so much? I'm not here to see him, I'm here to see you."

... This is... Tong Tong was really ashamed. He looked at Chen Wang, and the old man was smiling, his eyes full of encouragement.

He said to Gu Yingfu: "Professor Gu is serious. I probably got so angry with him when I followed Professor Chen in the past two years, so I was so impressed."

"Hahahaha." Gu Yingfu laughed so loudly, he joked, "Old man Chen, are you picking people after your own image? Back then you were so angry with our teacher, now it's my turn gone?"

Speaking of this, Chen Wang pursed his lips and smiled thoughtfully, and said to Gu Yingfu: "Speaking of which, I have some news that will definitely surprise you, oh no, news that will surprise both of you. "

"Oh?" Gu Yingfu raised his eyebrows, and Tong Tong was also confused.

"I just mentioned the teacher, do you still remember our teacher's name?" Chen Wang asked Gu Yingfu.

"Of course, it's impossible to forget this. If it wasn't for the teacher, I wouldn't have embarked on this path. I will never forget the name of Professor Tongjia Zhangtong. It's a pity that the teacher left too early..."

Before Gu Yingfu finished speaking, Tong Tong's eyes widened, Tong Jiazhang?Is it the Tong Jiazhang I was thinking of?

"My grandfather is also called Tong Jiazhang!" Tong Tong couldn't help shouting out.

He opened his eyes and looked at Chen Wang. The old man had an expression of "Yes, that's what you think". Tong Tong suddenly realized that both Chen Wang and Gu Yingfu were students of his old Mr. Tong. This is really...

It can be regarded as the inheritance of the torch. Gu Yingfu once studied under Tong Jiazhang, and Tong Tong seemed likely to learn from Gu Yingfu soon, but in fact he returned to his grandfather's sect... The world is indeed a circle.

Gu Yingfu's reaction was exactly the same as Tong Tong's. The two of them thought about it briefly, and they thought almost the same idea. Gu Yingfu sighed again and again: "This is really, this is really...Old Chen, why did you just say that now? !"

Chen Wang couldn't hide his complacency, and there was also a little grievance: "Tong Tong is my proud disciple, I decided to recommend him to you, so I went to transfer his file and looked carefully. Find out that he is Professor Tong's grandson, what do you think is a coincidence?"

"Coincidentally, what a coincidence, and how wonderful!" The corners of Gu Yingfu's eyes were wet, he held onto Tong Tong's hand, and his eyes were full of words "When are you going to Wuhan with me?"

……

A meeting that was originally thought to be tense and serious has taken such a dramatic turn. The entanglements about this matter a few days ago now feel like the dust has settled. The only problem is that Tong Tong has not had time to get along with Bian Cheng. Said, this matter is too important, he doesn't want to talk on the phone, he wants to talk to Biancheng face to face, look at each other, can see the expression, eyes, if there is one ten thousandth disappointment and objection in Biancheng, he will be the first time knows.

It's just that I don't know what's going on, there's no news from the border city all day, and the messages sent by Tong Tong all day are lying alone in the dialog box.

"I'm awake, are you awake? Is it very noisy to sleep in the living room, you must have not slept well?"

"What do you eat in the morning? I'm eating casserole rice noodles, made by my mother."

"I'm going to see the teacher in a while and talk about something. If it goes well, I'll let you know when we meet."

"what are you doing?"

"I miss you."
