Cannon fodder in women's clothing N

The two of them didn't pay much attention to this little episode, but it's still a matter of business.

At this time, Guangcheng was much more developed than their towns. Not to mention the heavy traffic on the streets, cars and bicycles can be seen everywhere. There are also colorful posters of family planning on the walls of the streets, and even people’s clothes have changed compared to before. , although still simple, but with bright colors.

The food I bought was basically the same as what I ate on the train. Apart from the gifts for visiting old people, the two of them didn't have any other heavy things, so it was easy.

Guangcheng can be said to be the hometown of Qiu Zhen, and he took Ruan Yuan with ease to get on the old Jiefang bus bound for Guangcheng University.

There were not many seats in the car, and when the two of them got up, there happened to be only one seat left.

Qiu Zhen pushed Ruan Yuan to sit down, and Ruan Yuan stretched his neck to look around, but there was still no space, he was a little frustrated, "Is it far?"

Of course Qiu Zhen knew what he meant, and said with a smile, "It's not far, we'll be there in a while."

Only then did Ruan Yuan feel relieved, it seemed that people in this era were of good quality, no one in the car was yelling or talking nonsense.

He once heard a saying that if you want to truly understand a city, you only need to take a few lines of buses.He shared this idea with Qiu Zhen in a low voice, and Qiu Zhen reached out and touched the top of his hairy head, and also whispered, "I will sit with you in the future."

After sitting quietly for a few stops, Guangcheng University arrived.

Many people got off at this station, and some of them also entered the university.

Ruan Yuan asked, "Where are we going now?"

"Go find an uncle. This Uncle Tang is my grandfather's former student. A few months ago, my grandfather's former house was returned, and he helped move around." Qiu Zhen paused, with a bit of self-mockery Laughing, "Do you still remember that Ma Gang kept coming to ask for a house? During this period, Uncle Tang wrote to say that my father and mother are still pestering him."

When Ruan Yuan thought of Ma Gang's family, he felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart. He knew that his parents were not good people after hearing Qiu Zhen's words, so he couldn't help but feel sorry for Qiu Zhen. It's almost there, it looks like it smells like meat..." Ruan Yuan paused, but finally didn't say those ugly words.

Qiu Zhen didn't care, he patted Ruan Yuanqi's trembling shoulder, "Don't worry, Uncle Tang already knew their virtues, and he wouldn't let them succeed."

Uncle Tang's house is behind Guangcheng University. The building is not high, with green walls. Because of the rain, the green moss on the concrete floor is a little slippery.

Qiu Zhen went to knock on the door, and after a while, he heard rustling sounds, and when the door opened, he saw a boy with a handsome face.

The boy was taken aback for a moment, and after being confused for a while, he widened his eyes, "Qiu, brother Qiu Zhen! You're back!"

Qiu Zhen nodded, "Tang Han, long time no see."

Tang Han murmured that he hadn't seen him for a long time, so he quickly welcomed the two of them in, "Come in, come in, my dad and mom haven't come back yet after going out to do errands, you two sit down first, and I'll wash apples for you to eat."

Although the decoration of Tang's house may seem a little poor, but warmth and art can be seen everywhere, which is much better than the average worker's family.

Tang Han cut a plate of apples and brought them out, and put them in front of them, "This is from my mother's factory during the Chinese New Year. You keep it."

Ruan Yuan smiled knowingly when he heard this, thinking that the Tang family really treated Qiu Zhen well. These days, everything as delicate as Apple is thinking of Qiu Zhen.

Because of Ruan Yuan, Qiu Zhen has no shortage of fruits to eat this year, but he still took one piece from the plate and handed it to Ruan Yuan, and took another piece for himself, took a bite, and said with a smile, "It's very sweet. " Push the plate to Tang Han again, "I have been a greedy cat since I was a child, eat quickly."

Tang Han took a piece with a smile, "Brother Qiu Zhen, you are still so nice. Hahaha" and then looked at Ruan Yuan, "Who is this comrade?"

Qiu Zhen introduced him to "Ruan Yuan, my good friend." He paused and added, "The best and the best."

Both Ruan Yuan and Tang Han were amused by Qiu Zhen's statement, and their madness suddenly became more active.

Tang Han is a very cheerful and lively boy with bright eyes. "When I was young, I really liked Brother Qiu Zhen, who was righteous and good at fighting, but he was just too indifferent and ignored me. At that time, I wondered who could fight Qiu Zhen I'm so envious of you being friends!"

Ruan Yuan also laughed, and bumped Qiu Zhen's shoulder, "Yes, Qiu Zhen is a very nice person, and he is also my best best friend."

The best in the world.

Tang Han looked back and forth between the two of them, feeling a little embarrassed, and coughed lightly, "Actually, the first time I saw you, I thought you were a girl."

Seeing Ruan Yuan's confused expression, he quickly added, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to see that you are so good-looking, like, like, the dolls in the window of the state-owned shopping mall!"

Ruan Yuan smiled forcedly, while Qiu Zhen frowned, picked up an apple and forced it into Tang Han's mouth, "You can shut up now."

Tang Han also knew that his metaphor was inappropriate, so he smiled awkwardly at Ruan Yuan with a bitter face.

Aside from this episode, the chat between the few people was still very pleasant. After a while, Uncle Tang and his wife came back.

Seeing Qiu Zhen exchanged pleasantries again, Uncle Tang heard that Qiu Zhen and Ruan Yuan were both in high school, and he was even more happy to pat Qiu Zhen on the shoulder, "You are all good boys, you must know that no matter what time it is, studying is the right way , both of you are fine."

Both Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang used to be university teachers, just like Qiu’s grandparents. However, because the university was closed, one of them worked in the cafeteria of a nearby factory, and the other went to teach junior high school. At that time, Tang Han was young and did not catch up. Although the family is poor, they are fortunate to be able to reunite.

At noon they left the two of them for dinner again. During the dinner, Uncle Tang talked about the Qiu family's house. Uncle Tang took out the key from his pocket and put it in front of Qiu Zhen, sighing, "Your mother is really a mess, every day Come to my school to make trouble, and go to your aunt’s cafeteria to make trouble, if the neighbors and neighbors know who they are, the higher-ups will really give her the key to the house."

Qiu Zhen said, "I made you worry." He paused, "If she makes trouble again in the future, you should tell the truth and let her come to Xiangjia Town to find me."

Uncle Tang looked at Qiu Zhen disapprovingly, "Teacher and mistress are old, let these two unscrupulous things get angry again? Do you think they don't want to find you? But as soon as they heard that I took the key, they asked around for you Where do you live now? I didn’t tell them a word. I was prepared to never see each other again. The two of them had to stay far away when they encountered you. Now I came back to ask if there are any old friends of the teacher and the teacher’s wife. Talk to her, I heard that she got in touch with your aunt a few days ago."

Qiu Zhen laughed, and said with a bit of disdain, "My aunt?" Then he told Uncle Tang about the family.

After listening to the ins and outs, Tang Han almost dropped the spoon. Aunt Tang was also surprised. After being startled by Tang Han, she patted Tang Han's arm, "You are not in shape, eat well."

Tang Han felt chills for a while, "Brother Qiu Zhen, why are your relatives so vicious, why don't they behave like human beings!"

When the words fell, Aunt Tang slapped him again, and said with a white look, "Every kid talks nonsense." Although she was also annoyed by this family's behavior, they were still Qiu Zhen's biological parents after all, and no matter how angry outsiders were, they couldn't talk to each other. The scolding is too good to hear, "Qiu Zhen, when I come back with your grandma, I will come to my aunt's house. We don't care about those people."

"I get it, it's okay, you don't have to blame Tang Han." Qiu Zhen smiled, "I don't regard them as relatives anymore, they are just strangers."

Uncle Tang was pleased that Qiu Zhen was not the kind of procrastinating and indecisive person, he said, "You are studying now, do you have any plans for the future?"

After Qiu Zhen and Ruan Yuan looked at each other, Qiu Zhen smiled wryly, "We always have illusions about the college entrance examination, thinking that after graduating from high school, if we still can't resume the college entrance examination, we can find a job in the town."

Uncle Tang also nodded helplessly, didn't say anything about the college entrance examination, just patted Qiu Zhen on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Then you should study hard in the past two years, even if you work and farm, you can't throw away your books. By the way." He laughed suddenly as if remembering something, "Look at my brain, I'm so happy to see you, and I forgot an important thing."

Uncle Tang said to Tang Han, "I have an envelope in the drawer, please get it for Dad quickly."

Tang Han responded.

When Uncle Tang received the letter and handed it to Qiu Zhen, "Your grandfather once showed me the book you wrote. I think it is rare for you to be able to write such a work when you were young and in a difficult environment, so I gave it to City B." A brother of mine read your article, and this is his reply to you specially."

Qiu Zhen really didn't expect his grandpa to do this secretly. No wonder he kept urging him not to forget to write something when he was busy. He was a little bit dumbfounded, "My grandpa is really, why are you keeping it from me?" He asked again, "Uncle Tang's senior brother Could it be Mr. Wu from Yaochun Publishing House?"

"That's right," Uncle Tang said, "you should have seen him too, but you were too young at that time, and you were in chaos, so it's normal that you can't remember what you look like. He wrote to me and said that he admired you very much, although he It’s not easy now, but at least it’s pretty easy with the back at home.”

Of course Qiu Zhen remembered this Mr. Wu. It was a good time at that time. When he came to visit his grandfather, he even gave him a copy of Mrs. Gaskell's "Mary Barton".

Mr. Wu can be regarded as his first teacher.

When Uncle Tang and Qiu Zhen were discussing these literary topics, Aunt Tang and Tang Han asked Ruan Yuan a lot of homework, and he was relieved to know that the Qiu family's grandparents had not received any harsh treatment in Xiangjia Village.

After the meal, Qiu Zhen and Ruan Yuan got up and said goodbye, and made an appointment to meet again during the Chinese New Year this year.

The two took the bus again. At this time, there were not many people and they sat in the empty back row.

The sun was shining outside, and Ruan Yuan was in a good mood, "Where shall we go now?"

Qiu Zhen shook the key in his hand with a smile, "Let's go home and have a look, and then I'll take you to the shopping mall!"

Ruan Yuan's eyes lit up, "Is there a big shopping mall in Guangcheng?"

"Yes, isn't it such a big city after all?" Qiu Zhen was rarely lively, "Then I'll take you to eat delicious food. We'll take the train back at night. How about staying in the town for a night and going directly to school?"

Ruan Yuan was so excited, "Of course!"

-

Qiu Zhen's home is not far from Guangcheng University, just three or four stops away.

What he didn't expect was that he thought that Qiu Zhen's house should also be a family building, but it turned out to be a single building.

There is also a row of white fences in the front yard, with withered and dry flower beds on both sides.

Seeing Ruan Yuan's surprise, Qiu Zhen said with a smile, "This house was awarded by the school when my grandfather won a big prize for the school when I was born. My parents live in the former wedding room of my grandparents."

Qiu Zhen tore off the seal on the door of the house. When the door was opened, a choking musty smell came over his face. The air in the old house that hadn't been lived in for many years was very dirty.

Ruan Yuan held his nose and said in a low voice, "Do you want to let the wind go?"

Qiu Zhen was also very choked, but looking at the obviously evacuated home, his heart was still heavy, "Let's talk about it later, I'll go up and find something, it's too choking here, you go out and wait for me first."

Ruan Yuan responded repeatedly, and when he came to the yard, he seemed to be breathing smoothly, and after a few dry coughs, his throat finally felt comfortable.

Seeing that Qiu Zhen hadn't come down, he looked around the small yard. Looking at the layout of the yard, he knew that it had been well taken care of here, with flower beds made of black tiles and tight white fences, huh?However, Ruan Yuan was attracted by the luxuriant tree near the flower bed, it was too dazzling green in the gray and desolate courtyard.

Taking a closer look, there seemed to be a cloth strip wrapped around the hanging branch. It should have been a red cloth strip. After years of wind and rain, the cloth strip has turned white and cracked, but you can vaguely see the embroidery on it. A row of fine print.

A cough sounded from behind, Qiu Zhen rubbed his choked and uncomfortable throat, and walked over slowly, "When I was four years old, my grandfather helped me find a small sapling, and my grandmother embroidered a red cloth strip for me."

Ruan Yuan rubbed the clear and elegant embroidered characters on it, and seemed to see the little chubby Qiu Zhen holding the young sapling with an expectant and ignorant expression.

He softly read the words on it, "Zhenzhen, four-year-old Zhi." He suddenly turned his head and looked at the tall boy with a tall and handsome body, and there was a smile in his eyes, "It's as slim as a lid now."
