Chapter 35 Father and Son Love

"Uncle Youcai, you always watched me grow up with Fugui. It's not difficult to recognize me. But so many years have passed, Uncle Youcai is still so tough as before."

"Well, I'm old and useless. I'll have to smoke my tobacco bag to relieve my fatigue and refresh my spirits. But you are so glorious about your ancestors when you come back this time. I'm afraid you can't find the outfit you're wearing in the county."

Zhang Jianguo smiled and said, "Uncle with talent, wealth is the real glorious family. At most, I am a wanderer who returns home and is not a glorious family. I have heard many people mention how good and wonderful the situation in our village are. In the final analysis, all this is still wealth and honorable. Otherwise, how could our village live like this?"

Fugui, who was standing aside, listened to what Zhang Jianguo and his father Zhang Youcai said a bit like a stage show, so he hurriedly said, "No, no, no, don't say that. The situation in our village can be so good, thanks to the good policies of the Party and the country. We are just responding to the call of the Party and the country, so don't put a high hat on me."

The woman Li Jianmei saw that they were having a lot of talk and couldn't get into it. After talking for a long time, Fugui realized that he had not introduced Zhang Jianguo to Jianmei yet, so he pointed at Jianguo and said to Jianmei: "Jianmei, he is the Jianguo brother I often mention to you. He is the playmate who I have played with since childhood."

After hearing this, Li Jianmei, a woman, hurriedly greeted her: "Hello, brother." Zhang Fugui introduced to Zhang Jianguo again: "Jianguo, this is my wife Li Jianmei."

Zhang Jianguo smiled and said, "Hello brother and sister" to Li Jianmei, then turned his eyes to Fugui, "Fugui, you are so good! I remember when I ran away from home, you were still a bachelor! In the blink of an eye, I have a wife."

Zhang Fugui responded with a smile: "Jianguo, it's a pity that you haven't seen my twin sons yet! The situation is getting better now, our two babies, Shaoping and Shaoan, are studying in Qilong Town!"

After hearing this, Zhang Jianguo sighed, "Hey, rich! It's only been so many years! You have two babies, but you are still twins."

"Jianguo, don't tell me that you haven't found a wife for so many years! Which one of Dazhuang or Erzhuang, who are the same age as us, is not from three or five kids in the family? It seems that you have to hold on tight!"

"No hurry, who can tell the relationship accurately! Just leave it to fate!"

"You are not in a hurry, but Uncle Tianyou has been in a hurry over the years. Do you have the heart to let Uncle Tianyou see someone else holding a grandson, and you can only watch coldly?"

When Zhang Fugui mentioned Zhang Tianyou, Zhang Jianguo felt very regretful. He regretted that he had not been at home for so many years, had failed to fulfill his obligations and responsibilities as a son, and had not written a letter to him or asked someone to report his safety.

Just when Zhang Fugui and Zhang Jianguo were both impressed, the woman Li Jianmei shouted outside the house, "Fugui, the meal is ready, don't be stunned, please ask your father and brother to come in to have dinner."

Fugui then realized that he had been chatting with Jianguo outside the house for a long time, but this was normal. After all, they hadn't seen each other for almost ten years, and they were more or less concerned about each other in their hearts, even brothers were just like this.

At the dinner table, Zhang Youcai and Li Jianmei, a woman, were eating. Fugui and Jianguo were talking about the development and changes in the village over the years while eating, and Fugui's idea of ​​leading the villagers to build houses and houses was told to Jianguo. Now that Jianguo is back, Fugui feels that Jianguo is more knowledgeable and educated than him, so he wants Jianguo to give him advice and help him lead the villagers to make their lives better.

Zhang Jianguo has been away from home for many years and traveled around the world. He has been visiting all cities of China, all of which are large and small, so his horizons have broadened. He has worked as a vendor, a laborer, and a waiter in recent years. He has done everything he can make money. Although he has more and more money in his passbook, he has never been happy because he has always been thinking about everything at home. Now that he has finally come back, he plans to use all the things he has learned outside over the years to lead his fellow villagers to become rich.

Zhang Tianyou came back from the engineering team to discuss the supply of brick kilns with Fugui, but when he arrived at the brick kiln, he rushed to the village. When he reached the entrance of the village, some villagers who were familiar with the matter said to Zhang Tianyou: "Uncle Tianyou, go to Fugui's house quickly and have a look. Jianguo is back."

After hearing this, Zhang Tianyou trembled all over his body in an instant, and he hurriedly rushed to Fugui's house with a stick.

After a while, just as Fugui was talking and laughing with Jianguo, Zhang Tianyou walked into Zhang Fugui's house with a crutch. Zhang Jianguo raised his head and saw the old man with a crutch in front of him in surprise. When he found that the old man was his father Zhang Tianyou, he felt an inexplicable feeling all over his body. This discomfort was from the heart to the heart, and from the heart to the whole body. He cried, and he seemed to have cried out the guilt he had been to his father for many years.

Zhang Tianyou saw Jianguo who had met again after a long time, tears blurred his eyes, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and he said with a sob: " Jianguo... Jianguo... is it you... you are back..."

"Dad, the child is unfilial. The child is back, and the child is back to see you."

At this moment, it seems that the whole time and space are staying at this moment. The warmest thing in the world is that this hot family affection can warm people's hearts.

Zhang Jianguo looked at his father Zhang Tianyou, and he couldn't speak. He looked at Zhang Tianyou's skinny body. Although almost ten years have passed, he still vaguely remembered the strong father in his heart. Now, his father Zhang Tianyou's face has sunken a lot, the originally cute crimson color on his face has faded, and his eyes have lost their former glory, like dark flames. His fluffy hair is covered with a cotton hat, which is so oily that it is shiny.

The more he looked at him, the more guilt he felt, the more he wanted to cry. Zhang Tianyou used his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes and said in a sob voice: "Jianguo, stop crying, just come back, just come back."

Jianguo swallowed all this in his throat, for fear that his father would feel uncomfortable again.

The ten-year-old departure made Jianguo not know what to say to his father, but all this could be seen in front of his relatives with a look or action. After all, thousands of words could not resist the blood-thickness of family affection flowing in his bones.

After dinner at Fugui's house, Zhang Tianyou and Zhang Jianguo returned home. Zhang Tianyou took out all his bags of goods. In addition to some delicious food and clothes, there was also a Venus brand TV produced by the Shanghai TV Factory. Zhang Tianyou lived for most of his life and had never seen a TV, let alone watched TV.

Zhang Jianguo placed the TV on his desk and carefully inserted the antenna into the TV. Then the hissing sound of the TV suddenly appeared in black and white. Meng Jiangnu was played inside. Zhang Tianyou heard the sound of the iron box, and then he was frightened when he saw someone inside. After all, he had never seen a TV. He suddenly saw figures popping out of the iron box. It would be strange if he was not scared to death.

Zhang Jianguo explained to his father: "Dad, don't be afraid. This is called a TV. I brought it back from Shanghai. This TV has many benefits. You can watch the movies and TV shows played inside."

Zhang Tianyou didn't dare to watch it at first, but as he watched it, he became fascinated. The neighbors in the village heard the sound of Zhang Tianyou's house. They all looked out of Zhang Tianyou's house and looked at the scenes in the iron box. However, the iron box was small and I couldn't see clearly when I stood outside the door, so I simply went straight to watch the TV. More and more people watched the TV one by one. Some of them had no seats and pressed on one shoulder, staring at the TV without moving.

The movies "The Good Stars", "Red Peony", "Night Rain in Bashan", and "North and South Shaolin" appeared one by one on the TV. After seeing the TV, they would have been fascinated as if they had eaten marijuana. If Zhang Jianguo had not pulled out the antenna, these people who watched TV at his house would have been reluctant to leave.

At night, the village was quiet. Zhang Tianyou thought he had to find a marriage for his son Jianguo. After all, Dazhuang, Erzhuang, who was the same age as Jianguo, was both the father of several children. Now that Jianguo is back, he only hopes that Jianguo can marry a wife and it is best to have two fat grandsons for him.

Zhang Tianyou called Jianguo to his side and said, "Jianguo! Now that you are back, should you consider your personal issues?"

Zhang Jianguo knew what his father Zhang Tianyou was talking about, so he suddenly concealed and said, "Dad, we have just arrived at home, and Fugui needs my help. Don't worry about finding a wife in advance, let's talk about it later."

After hearing this, Zhang Tianyou was a little anxious, "You don't have to worry, you don't have to worry, but I'm anxious! Look at you who are in your thirties. If you don't find a wife, when will I be able to hold your grandson? Could it be that you want to let our family have no descendants?"

"Dad, don't worry about these things. Who can tell the relationship accurately? Let's talk about it when I meet someone I like."

Zhang Tianyou said angrily: "I'm afraid that when you find the opposite, your father will have grass on my grave. Forget it, I won't expect you anymore. Dad will help you arrange it. You can just get married when you are obedient, don't mess with your father."

"Dad, if you even care about me, then I would rather be a bachelor than get married for the rest of my life."

Zhang Tianyou said furiously: "If you dare to do this, see if I don't break your legs, this matter will be decided. Don't say it anymore, just wait to be your groom!"
