Jingsheng Garden is the name of the community where Xu Ziling lives. It was well-known in the county for its high selling price when it was first launched. At first, I felt that the house I had lived in for almost ten years could not meet the needs of life, and when I wanted to buy a new house, Xu Ziling fell in love with it at first sight.

Winning here, in the eyes of others, is that the price is ridiculously expensive compared to other real estate properties in the county, but in Xu Ziling's eyes, the price is quite real, not only because of the good service attitude of the property, nor because of the floor

They are all real areas, but the developer spent a huge amount of money to build a small park in the community.

I got up early in the morning, ran a few laps in the small park, played a boxing match, and waited until my body was slightly sweaty. Then I came to the gate of the community and prepared to buy some breakfast. I entered an inconspicuous breakfast shop and said, "Uncle Fatty,

Make me dinner."

Being fat is probably a common characteristic of all catering workers. The fat uncle Xu Ziling talks about is also fat, not tall, with a slightly round face. He looks a bit like Coach Anxi in "Slam Dunk". "Ziling, you

Are you here? It seems like I haven’t seen you for a long time?”

Fat Uncle's breakfast shop existed before Xu Ziling moved to the community. Since moving here, Xu Ziling has spent most of his breakfast in Fat Uncle's shop, and they have become very familiar with each other. "Go out and play."

I stayed for a while and just came back yesterday."

It was almost time to go to work, and there were more and more people eating breakfast in the breakfast shop. I chatted casually with Fat Uncle, finished a bowl of noodles, and before leaving, I brought two portions of soy milk and fried dough sticks to Xu Haoran and Zhang Lan, and paid the bill.

Leave.

After entering the house, he saw that Xu Haoran and Zhang Lan were already up. Xu Ziling put breakfast on the dining table and went upstairs to take a shower.

After washing away the smell of sweat, he changed his clothes and came out. He saw his father and mother sitting at the dining table eating breakfast. Hearing the sound of Xu Ziling getting out of the car, Zhang Lan raised his head and said, "We will go to tomorrow at noon."

Let’s go to the hotel earlier.”

"good……"

The radio in the car was playing the weather forecast: "Affected by the typhoon, the temperature in our city will drop significantly today and tomorrow..." Xu Ziling pressed the glass of the car window and looked at the sky. The sun was gone and there was a layer of gray in the sky.

The wind was blowing under the misty clouds. The temperature was already dropping. I didn't bother to pay attention to the weather forecast, which was always late, so I turned off the radio and simply opened the windows and sunroof to let the wind blow into the car. The speed of the car was a bit fast, and the wind

It blew over and made a "booming" sound, but Xu Ziling felt particularly refreshing.

The banquet at noon was very lively, and some of my parents’ friends and colleagues came. My father is an only son, my grandfather and grandmother died young, and my mother’s brothers were all in other places, so I didn’t notify any relatives to come. I went there very early in the morning.

After finishing the decoration of the hotel and welcoming the guests, Xu Ziling felt that his face was getting stiffer and stiffer as the guests arrived one after another. Everyone he knew and didn't know gave Xu Ziling a slap in the face in front of Xu Haoran and Zhang Lan.

Xu Ziling could only respond with a smile.

After dinner, I really had no intention of dealing with those unintentional enthusiasms. I greeted Xu Haoran and Zhang Lan and said that I was going back to my hometown in the countryside. Before leaving, I looked for Wang Jian and found out that Wang Jian had something to do and couldn't go with him, so I had to make an agreement.

Let's go to the provincial capital together when school starts.

I went home and put some wine and cigarettes in the car, then turned the car around and headed towards the countryside.

The wind is blowing all the way, far away from the concrete and steel forest, the endless rice fields on both sides of the road are golden. When a gust of wind passes, it is like a golden ocean, with waves undulating each other. It looks refreshing.

I came to Xu Jiang's store, parked the car, and took a cigarette and a bottle of wine from the car. The lunch banquet was not something that required a lot of work, so I didn't notify Xu Jiang. But before that, Xu Jiang

A red envelope worth 10,000 yuan was handed over to Xu Haoran a long time ago. The cousins ​​have always been close to each other since they were young, so it is natural for them to accept when someone gives it to them. As Xu Ziling, of course he has to give something to him if he has something.

Prepare one for this uncle who treats him like his own son.

At this point in the afternoon, the lunch diners had left. It was not yet time to finish the meal, and it was the hotel's free time. When I walked into the lobby, I saw Xu Jiang behind the counter looking down at a book, pressing the button with one hand from time to time.

He took off the calculator next to him, thinking he was doing some accounting. Xu Ziling walked to the counter and knocked on the counter, "Uncle, are you doing some accounting?"

Xu Jiang, who was really attentive, suddenly heard the sound and was stunned. He looked up and saw Xu Ziling, and was ecstatic. "Good boy, I got the top scorer in the country. Didn't I hear that your family invited guests to dinner for a few days? Why are you back?"

?”

"It's all small things. I'm afraid you'll be in trouble, so I didn't dare to ask you to make a special trip over there. I brought a cigarette and a bottle of wine to make up for the fact that you didn't get the drink." Xu Ziling raised the cigarette and wine in his hand.

"Your uncle is such a stingy person in your eyes?" Xu Jiang walked out of the counter and said, "Hey, where did you get these cigarettes and wine?" He saw the cigarette that Xu Ziling handed him.

Hejiu asked in surprise.

"It was given to me by Yang Kaiming's family who came with Uncle Li's son Li Cheng last time." Xu Ziling answered casually.

"That's no wonder..."

Xu Jiang asked, and Xu Ziling answered. The two uncles and nephews chatted for a while about what happened for more than a month, which finally satisfied Xu Jiang's curiosity. "I want to go to the Public Security Bureau, will you go?" Xu Ziling said to Xu Jiang.

"Looking for your Uncle Li and Uncle Zhang?"

"Well, now that I'm back, I should pay a visit. After sitting down for a while, I'll go back to my grandpa's house. How about you go back to have dinner with us? It's the same here with you or without you."

The two people came to the Public Security Bureau. Li Mingwu and Kai Ming were both there. Xu Ziling also took a carton of cigarettes and a bottle of wine each and exchanged pleasantries for a while before leaving.

When they arrived at grandpa's house, grandpa and grandma were quite surprised that Xu Ziling came back without notice.

I don't know when the clouds dispersed and the sun set in the west. The sun shone mottledly on the ground through the big trees in the yard. The temperature was not high, so a few people sat down in the yard. Xu Ziling took out the university acceptance notice he had specially brought.

I showed the book to grandma and told her about being specially recruited by the army. The few of them were enjoying themselves in the yard.

He took out his military officer's ID card and gave it to his grandfather. The old man took it, but did not open it. He just touched it with trembling hands with rough hands. His eyes were particularly focused and affectionate. Xu Ziling thought that the old man was probably reminiscing, thinking of his own military years.

He thought of his comrades who died in the battle. The illiterate grandmother on the side looked at the red admission notice without blinking, as if she wanted to remember every bit of its appearance, and she didn't know what to say.

Mumbling something.

Xu Ziling and his uncle Xu Jiang looked at the two old people and kept silent for fear of disturbing them. They didn't know how long they were silent. Xu Ziling felt that it had been a long time, but it felt like it was just a moment. Grandma woke up first and looked back.

Grandpa, who was immersed in emotion, wiped the tears shed from his eyes with his hands, smiled and cursed at Xu Ziling's grandfather: "Old man, you think of your old almanac again? It's been decades, what else is there?

Thought?"

Hearing what grandma meant, she also knew what happened to grandpa back then. Grandpa woke up, opened his military ID card, looked at it, and laughed: "Haha... Today is a happy day. I will be happy to see our grandson in the future."

Salute. Old lady, I’ll cook some good dishes later, Jiang Yazi is also here, let’s have a few drinks together.”

"Grandpa, I brought something here. I just took some dishes from Uncle Jiang's shop, so don't prepare other dishes. I'll go and bring them down." Xu Ziling touched Xu Jiang, who looked a little confused, with his hand.

He motioned for him to move to the car together.

Xu Jiang has been working as a caterer in his early years. He has seen a lot of people coming and going, and has become a shrewd and sophisticated person. Seeing the abnormality of Grandpa Xu Ziling, he never thought that the elders who have been with him for decades have something that he doesn't know.

On the one hand, that’s why I’m confused.

"Grandpa had some things in his early years that he didn't tell anyone. Probably grandma and my dad knew about it. Even I only heard what others said when I went to the provincial capital this time, otherwise I would have kept it a secret. It's not a bad thing, don't worry. Now.

It's not convenient to explain. I'll explain it to you another day." Xu Ziling whispered to Xu Jiang.

After taking down the cigarettes, wine and vegetables from the car, Xu Jiang brought the dishes to the kitchen. Xu Ziling showed the cigarettes and wine to his grandfather, "It turns out that when I was a soldier, I also had such cigarettes and wine at the commander's place, but it's just that

At that time, the brand of cigarettes was not the same as now, but the wine also had Maotai. In the blink of an eye, I haven’t tasted this taste again for decades..." Xu Ziling’s grandfather said with emotion.
