Lovers come with the wind

Chapter 3

In February, Lao Zhao, Da Liu, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Peng came back again, and the courtyard of the scientific expedition team returned to its original vitality.After getting up in the morning, the sound of brushing teeth and washing face, and the sound of Lao Zhao cooking and cooking, reveal a simple and real breath of life.However, it is not peaceful, on the contrary, there is a little restlessness.One weekend, Wang Pengze went to the county to pick up Zhuzi, and Xiao Liu and Xiao Peng followed to play. On the way back, Xiao Liu said to Zhuzi, "Zhuzi, we may be leaving soon."

Zhuzi asked, "When?"

Xiao Liu said: "Soon, we are waiting for someone to come over and accept it."

The atmosphere in the car suddenly turned cold, Zhuzi stopped talking, Wang Pengze didn't say anything, and Xiao Peng was already taciturn.Xiao Liu asked two more questions, but no one answered, so he realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said.

Standing in the yard of his own house, Zhu Zi listened to the voices from the next door, and understood that this was just a weak continuation of the past life, and no new beginning would emerge.He looked at the sky and felt that the cold winter wind was full of the breath of parting.

One day when it was not a weekend, the class teacher appeared at the door of the classroom, waved to Zhuzi, and shouted: "Wang Yuzhu, someone is looking for you." Zhuzi walked out and saw Wang Pengze's tall figure standing in the empty campus in winter.

The pillar walked slowly.Wang Pengze said: "I'll pick you up at the train station. It's still early, so I'll come and see you."

Zhuzi asked: "Is this the person who received the inspection and acceptance work?"

Wang Pengze replied: "Yes. After acceptance, we will leave."

Zhuzi asked again: "When are we leaving?"

Wang Pengze replied: "I plan to leave next Tuesday, and I will have to drive for several days before I can go back."

After a while, Zhuzi asked, "Will you pick me up this weekend?"

Zhu Zi just went back last weekend. According to the usual practice, he should review his homework at school this weekend.Wang Pengze smiled and replied, "Okay."

Back home on the weekend, Zhu Zi didn't seem to feel how sad parting was.Seeing that Wang Pengze was still alive in front of his eyes, he brought a lot of daily necessities over and said to Zhu Ziniang: "Big sister, we won't take these things away, bring them to your home."

Zhuzi followed Wang Pengze to the scientific expedition team's yard, and saw other people sorting out the sundries.Xiao Peng brought out a stack of books, and Da Liu felt worried when he saw it, so he said, "Xiao Peng, the books are not easy to carry, you might as well give them to Zhu Zi."

Xiao Peng said: "Okay." Turning his head, he saw that Zhu Zi was walking in slowly following Wang Pengze, and continued, "It just so happened that Zhu Zi came over, and I will let him take it back when I go home later."

Old Zhao said to Zhuzi, "Zhuzi, you came just in time, and you can help your uncle pack his luggage."

After hearing this, Wang Pengze turned around and looked at Zhuzi with a smile, waiting for him to decide whether to come to help.

Zhuzi suddenly felt that he was extremely unwilling to face these luggage and these people. He took the book in Xiao Peng's hand, turned around and went home without a word.

Old Zhao sighed, and said to Wang Pengze, "Zhuzi feels bad."

On Sunday afternoon, Wang Pengze drove Zhuzi to school.Zhuzi's mother thought that this was the last time she would be delivered by a car, so she asked Zhuzi to bring a whole bag of wheat to school to exchange for more meal tickets.Zhu Zi walked over carrying the wheat, put it in the car, and sat in the front row, next to Wang Pengze.Wang Pengze left Wanzi Village in his car, and drove in silence for a long time. When he could see the county town, he stopped suddenly.Zhu Zi turned his head and looked at Wang Pengze.

Wang Pengze took out a bulging envelope and said to Zhuzi:

"This is four months' living expenses. Take it well and don't lose it."

Zhuzi didn't speak, nor did he answer.Wang Pengze smiled, and stuffed the envelope into Zhuzi's luggage.He took out another stack of letter paper and envelopes.

"Here are the letter paper and the envelope. The stamp and my detailed address are in the envelope. If you miss me or need help in the future, just write to me."

Zhuzi's face twitched violently, and he hurriedly lowered his head, tears streaming down his face.

Wang Pengze hurried over, stroked Zhuzhu's back gently with his big hands, and comforted him gently in a deep voice:

"Don't cry, Zhuzi. There are gatherings and breakups. When you are admitted to the technical secondary school, I will take you to Nanjing to play."

Zhuzi was already crying so hard.Nanjing, for him, is a word that is too far away and untouchable.He said to Wang Pengze: "You are gone, I don't know what to do in the future." The sentence was choked up intermittently, and it took a long time to complete it.Zhuzi wiped his tears with the sleeve of his cotton coat, which was already soaked.

Wang Pengze grabbed Zhuzhu's hand, and his eyes were wet.

On Tuesday, the jeep of the scientific expedition team passed through the county town, just like when it came, the roof of the car was full of luggage like a hill.

Old Zhao asked Wang Pengze: "Shall we go and see the pillars?"

Wang Pengze hesitated and said, "No need."

At that time, Zhuzi had already boarded the first long-distance bus from the county to the village.He got off the car in the countryside and ran all the way back to Wanzi Village. He had excellent physical strength and ran up one mountain ridge after another under the cold wind and sunshine of winter.He thought he should drive home along the main road, maybe he could meet the jeep of the scientific expedition team on the way, but he happened to be afraid of this. If he really ran into Wang Pengze, he would be very embarrassed, and he had already said goodbye.

So he chose a small road, feeling more and more confused, not knowing what he was thinking, he couldn't figure out what was the purpose of rushing back to Wanzi Village so eagerly.

He returned directly from the path to the quiet door of his home, feeling more tired than ever.

He saw Zhuzi's father leaning against the wall to bask in the sun, his hands crossed in his sleeves.Yingzi was playing in front of the door, holding an ear of corn, and several old hens clucked around her, waiting for the corn kernels to be peeled off.Yingzi saw the pillar and shouted: "Brother."

Zhuzi looked at the road leading westward to the construction site, and was sure that this was not a dream.It's just that those happiness and vitality left without saying anything, without leaving a trace of their back, without leaving a trace of lingering sound.His home has become exactly the same as before, dull, dead, and hopeless.

He was full of bitterness, facing the disappointment and despair that was destined to come, he pushed open the door of the courtyard next door, the courtyard was empty and lonely, the room had no lights, it was dark, dark and damp.But Zhuzi can still feel that there are many memories of the past here. He can still clearly remember the scene of Wang Pengze standing under the eaves watching the snow, turning around to look at him with a smile, and shouting to him in a clean and warm voice Name: "Pillar."

Zhu Zi looked at the yard again. He believed that Wang Pengze hadn't gone away yet. Everything here still carried Wang Pengze's breath of life, and he should try to keep them out.He picked up the big worn-out broom under the eaves, and did what Wang Pengze or Lao Zhao would repeat every day, sweeping the yard carefully.Then he went out resolutely and closed the courtyard door.

Zhuzi's father shouted to Zhuzi: "Zhuzi, leave after eating." Zhuzi didn't respond, and ran out of Zhuzi's father's sight along the path.

But in March, when Zhu Zi returned to the front of the house, he saw that the door of the courtyard next door was open, and the courtyard was full of green grass that grew in clusters with the arrival of spring, growing from the door to the eaves, covering the road, and the house was full of green grass. The door was stained with mud, and there were many whitened snail shells hanging on it.He found the bald broom from under the wall, but he didn't have the confidence to clean it up.He finally truly understands that Wang Pengze has gone, everything that should disappear has disappeared, and everything that should be barren has been barren. No matter how you try to keep it, it is just a memory that is getting farther and farther away.With a deep sense of hopelessness, he squatted under the eaves and cried for a long time, trying to suppress his voice, while on the east wall, Zhu Ziniang's round face kept watching this scene.

Without Wang Pengze, Zhuzi's grades are getting worse and worse. The head teacher is anxious and talks to Zhuzi several times, but Zhuzi doesn't say anything.He was originally a withdrawn person, and he felt uncomfortable during this time, and became even more withdrawn.He himself was also anxious about the grades, imagining how Wang Pengze would react if he heard about such grades, which made him even more irritable.

When March was about to pass, old man Cao found traces of wolves around the village, which made the whole village vigilant.Old man Cao gathered a group of young people, and set up traps with nets everywhere.One night, the two wolves fell into a trap together, were beaten to death by the young people, and gave to old man Cao as a prize.Old man Cao took it home and hung it on a tree in the courtyard.

Zhuzi went back to Wanzi Village on the weekend, and he had already noticed the traps in the fields while walking on the road. When passing through the village, everyone was talking about old man Cao and the two wolves he had just killed.Zhuzi listened attentively, and felt a "thump" in his heart, wondering if it was the two little wolves from the Eagle Gorge that had escaped.He didn't go home right away, but took a detour and passed by the door of old man Cao's house.During the day, when the courtyard door was open, Zhuzi walked to the door of Old Man Cao’s house, his blood boiled immediately, and he immediately recognized the corpses of the two wolves hanging on the tree, they were the two cubs he and Wang Pengze had fed and teased. Wolf.Zhuzi thought of his left arm, and thought from the bottom of his heart that these two wolves had a connection with him that others could not understand.

When old man Cao greeted him, Zhu Zi's eyes became more and more fierce.Old Man Cao asked vigilantly, "What are you doing?" Zhu Zi stared at Old Man Cao's tricky face, and if he had a reason to say it, he would punch him.At this time, old man Cao's daughter opened the curtain from the main room and came out. When she saw the pillar, she yelled "Yeah".Pillar turned and left.

In the middle of the night, old man Cao's big black dog suddenly barked, and the whole family was awakened.Old man Cao looked out the window and asked loudly, "Who is it?" But it was too dark to see anything.The big black dog barked more and more violently.Old man Cao was a little frightened and got out of bed in a hurry. At this time, the big black dog suddenly changed into a small whine of "chirp, chirp", as if he had been beaten severely by someone, and he was scared.Old man Cao rushed over to open the door, and saw that the courtyard door was open. There was no one in the courtyard, and the big black dog was huddled in the corner of the wall in shock.Old man Cao checked the yard with a flashlight, and finally found that the bodies of the two wolves were gone.

Old man Cao's daughter asked worriedly in the room: "Father, who is it?"

Old man Cao shouted angrily: "It must be Wang Yuzhu."

Zhuzi rushed to Laoyingxia overnight, and made two new graves next to the grave of the female wolf, one on each side.At last Zhuzi went to the lake and washed his hands in the cold water, then returned to the grave and sat down, saying:

"You don't have to be sad. Although you are wolves, you also have a destiny, just like me."

After dawn, old man Cao found the captain and went to Zhuzi's house to make a scene.Zhu Ziniang blocked the door with her hands on her hips like a hill, pointed at old man Cao's nose and asked, "Why do you say that my Zhu Zi stole it? You show the evidence."

Old man Cao said: "Zhu Zi peeked at my door yesterday afternoon, and the two wolves were lost that night."

Zhu Ziniang did not back down, and said loudly: "There are too many people peeping at your door. Besides, what's the use of stealing two wolves."

Old man Cao didn't want to argue with Zhu Ziniang, he pointed at the pillar and shouted: "Wang Yuzhu, tell me in good conscience, did you steal it?"

Zhuzi stood beside Zhuziniang coldly, without saying a word. From childhood to adulthood, people in the whole Wanzi Village seldom heard him speak.

The situation froze.The captain saw that old man Cao didn't dare to provoke Zhu Ziniang and Zhu Zi, so he pushed old man Cao and said, "If you don't have reliable evidence, don't talk nonsense. All right, all right, let's go."

Old man Cao pointed at Zhuziniang and Zhuzi angrily.

"Be careful, both of you, and don't fall into the hands of my old man Cao in the future."

Zhuzi never wrote a letter to Wang Pengze, but received two letters from Wang Pengze, asking him about his eating, dressing and studying, and encouraging him to work hard.Every time Zhuzi looked at it, he went back to the dormitory and hid under the quilt to cry secretly.He has no friends, so don't worry about someone coming to ask.

In fact, Zhuzi wanted to write a letter, but he didn't know what to write when facing the letter paper. He was not interested in reporting those trivial things in life and study to Wang Pengze. There was only one thing he wanted to ask, what he wanted to say Only one sentence.But he couldn't say, he knew that Wang Pengze would find a way to agree, and because of this, he felt that it was a use of Wang Pengze.

One day a teacher in the school office suddenly ran to Zhuzi's class and told Zhuzi to go to the office to answer a phone call from Nanjing.Zhu Zi was taken aback, and hurried to the office, picked up the receiver, and immediately Wang Pengze's familiar voice came: "Hello, is it Zhu Zi?"

Zhuzi's hand holding the receiver began to tremble immediately, and tears welled up in his eyes. He couldn't care less about the teachers in the office any longer, so he stood there and burst into tears.Several female teachers were terrified, and moved chairs and towels to persuade them one after another.

Wang Pengze was always talking on the phone that day, and Zhuzi couldn't say anything by himself.Wang Pengze repeatedly persuaded Zhuzi to focus on studying, and to ignore other things for the time being. Even if you think about it, it is for studying. There are not many really important things in life, but this exam is just one of them. Don't think about it. With review, you are no longer young.Wang Pengze asked Zhuzi where he wanted to go to school, whether he was going to study in a local technical secondary school or a foreign country, or he could go to school in Nanjing, where he would be closer to his uncle, and he could help you if something happened.

In May, Zhuzi's grades were terrible. His only brilliance was the exam a year ago. After Wang Pengze left, his grades kept dropping.The class teacher talked to Zhuzi again, and said to him concisely and seriously: "If you don't think about cheering up today, you don't have to think about going to technical secondary school from tomorrow on."

At noon, all the other students went to eat, and Zhu Zi sat in the classroom, spreading out the letter paper.He felt that an important moment in his life was approaching. For the sake of the long future, no matter how demanding he was, he had to muster up the courage to tell Wang Pengze that he had to give it a try.

He wrote the first letter in his life stroke by stroke.

叔：

you take me away?

Zhu Zi didn't have time to eat lunch, so he ran to the post office and solemnly put the letter into the mailbox with both hands.

Then came the long wait.Zhu Zi seems to have calmed down a lot all of a sudden, and he doesn't go home on weekends, and spends all his time studying, forgetting to sleep and eat.He wanted Wang Pengze to know that his grades were not that bad, if Wang Pengze came back.

At the beginning of June, during a self-study class one morning, Zhuzi suddenly felt that this was an unusually clear world. His eyesight was so good that he could see some transparent filaments in the air, ups and downs, ups and downs, dancing in front of his eyes.He had a premonition that something was going to happen, when the head teacher appeared at the door and shouted, "Wang Yuzhu, someone is looking for you."

Zhuzhu walked out of the classroom, which was on the second floor.Holding on to the railing, he saw Wang Pengze's dusty figure on the playground.Wang Pengze raised his right hand and waved it this way with an excited smile.The desolate and sensitive world of the pillars suddenly warmed into a gust of drizzle.

Wang Pengze said to Zhuzi:

"I've already agreed on both sides. Let's go to Nanjing to take the senior high school entrance examination."

On the morning of leaving Wanzi Village, Wang Pengze and Zhuzi walked up a mountain ridge with their luggage on their backs.Wang Pengze looked back and said to Zhuzi, "Have you seen that your Wanzi Village is a beautiful place?"

The pillar followed Wang Pengze and looked back. Wanzi Village has been quietly waiting on the land in the northwest. It seems that it has been waiting for thousands of years. It is shaded by ancient trees, surrounded by mountains, the wind is endlessly coming and going, and the sun is bright. cascading forever.

Zhuzi remembered that when Teacher Philauson left Jude's village, Jude walked to the well where the teacher often drew water, and looked down to find that the ancient well had a unique value and beauty.From the very beginning, Jude and Philauson showed characteristics that were different from other people in the village, because their eyes could see the beauty that others ignored.

Before some other important people appear, before some other important things happen, Zhuzi thinks that there is no difference between cities, whether it is Beijing or Nanjing, it is the same for him, and the only difference is Wang Pengze. to decide.When she was in Beijing, Lin Huizhen's home just replaced a hotel, and from the first day she lived in, she wanted to leave all the time.And when he followed Wang Pengze to Nanjing, got out of the car, carried luggage, and walked through the noisy asphalt road and secluded concrete alley under the scorching sun, Zhu Zi realized that what he was approaching step by step was a The home that had been standing dimly in his life, made him guess for a long time, and was becoming more and more realistic from the mystery.

In Nanjing, there are still buses that stop and go on the streets with black tape in the middle. People ride bicycles to and from work, all with indifferent faces, as if they are not interested in anyone or anything, and there are jingle bells everywhere Bell bike ringtones.The two entered an old residential area and walked into an alley. Wang Pengze led the way, his back swayed and turned one corner after another. While walking, he told Zhuzi the name, location and direction of the alley, how to identify it, Tell him to keep it in mind and don't get lost.The unfamiliar road that the pillars stepped on with both feet, there is a little moss growing in the damp place in the back, and the concrete pavement in the middle of the road has been damaged in many places. It was splashed with water by the residents on both sides and dried by the June sun. The original color of white cement.Zhu Zhu couldn't help guessing what kind of water was splashed on this road, because it was scorched by the sun and gave off a stinky smell, showing a humid, scrupulous market atmosphere.

At a turn, Wang Pengze turned his head and found that the pillar had fallen a long way behind him, so he turned around and stood waiting for him, his face was covered with sweat, fanning the wind with a newspaper he bought, and smiling Looking at the pillars from the northwest with great interest, they approached step by step along the foot of the wall of the alley in Nanjing.

After many years, Zhuzi understood a truth, that simplicity is not a defect, and luxury is not necessarily an advantage.The external objects around us must submit to the human spirit and quietly become a harmonious part of the spirit in order to show a kind of beauty.Everything depends on whether man's will can dominate his surroundings.And Wang Pengze is just such a person, his thinking is always flying high above the material, he always looks at the world close at hand with eyes of understanding and appreciation, no matter he is smiling in the clutter of the city Fleeting, or in a hurry in the exuberance of the field, you can find a lot of beauty that exists calmly around him, and it gradually becomes clear, and you help him talk about it.

That day when Zhuzi was walking in the humble alley, he found Wang Pengze again just like that.As he approached, Wang Pengze fanned him with a newspaper, helped him carry the luggage behind him, and then pointed his arm forward, pointing to a five-story residential building vigorously like a road sign to show the pillars, and said with a smile:

"That's where we live, the balcony on the third floor."

The residential building is exactly the same as the surrounding buildings, and it is one of many identical buildings.Zhu Zi's imagination finally touched the ground of reality, but he was not disappointed.All the secrets of Wang Pengze's secular life, no matter how big or small, will be fully exposed to him from this moment on, and he is excited by reality.

Zhuzi followed Wang Pengze upstairs. This is the family building of the research institute, the residents are relatively civilized, and the stairs are clean.On the third floor, Wang Pengze knocked on the door of his own house, waited for a while, and when there was no sound, he knocked again and shouted: "Yao Min." Someone in the room responded: "Here we come."

Yao Min is the name of Wang Pengze's wife.When Zhuzi heard Yao Min coming to open the door, he immediately became nervous and quietly hid behind Wang Pengze.For some reason, Zhuzi was afraid of Yao Min, although Wang Pengze never mentioned anything about his wife to Zhuzi.

The door opened, and the person who opened the door was almost completely blocked by Wang Pengze's hunk, only a pair of feet wearing flowered slippers were exposed.Then a woman's voice called Wang Pengze: "Brother-in-law, you are back."

Wang Pengze smiled and said, "It's Xiaorui. Let me introduce Zhuzi to you."

As he spoke, he turned around slightly, pulled out the pillar from behind, and introduced: "This is your sister Yao Min, Yao Rui."

When he heard that it wasn't Yao Min, Zhu Zi wasn't so afraid anymore.But he didn't know how to greet people, so he bowed and called out, "Hello, Auntie." Looking up, he saw Yao Rui and Wang Pengze looking at him in surprise.

A few days later, Zhuzi understood the reason.It was already very late that day when I finished my homework. There were only Zhuzi and Wang Pengze in the room. Zhuzi picked up a topic at random and asked, "Auntie Xiaorui looks very young?"

Wang Pengze remembered the first day, laughed, and replied: "Yes, 20 years old."

Zhuzi blushed all of a sudden, stood up suddenly, and asked Wang Pengze angrily, "Why didn't you tell me then?"

Wang Pengze held back his laughter, and argued, "Why did I say someone's age for no reason at the time, and I wasn't the one to introduce."

Seeing that Zhuzi was really angry, Wang Pengze hurriedly patted him on the shoulder to persuade him: "It doesn't matter if you call the wrong aunt, we are all a family."

Zhu Zi was still angry, so he simply asked the question: "Xiao Rui is only 20 years old, what about Aunt Yao Min?"

Wang Pengze's smile disappeared immediately, and after staring into Zhuzi's eyes for a long time, he answered obediently:

"27 is old."

Zhu Zi felt that his head was getting bigger.

Fortunately, the first day did not embarrass Zhuzi, and the embarrassment that almost appeared was saved by a childish voice.Wang Xiaochuan shouted excitedly from inside: "Father!" Hearing a "boom", Wang Xiaochuan jumped out of bed, ran out barefoot, and threw himself into Wang Pengze's arms.

Wang Pengze didn't have time to throw away his luggage, so he immediately bent over and picked up Wang Xiaochuan, kissed him with a smile, and introduced to Zhuzi excitedly:

"This is Xiao Chuan, my precious son."

At this time, Wang Xiaochuan was only four years old, with his arms around Wang Pengze's neck, he looked at the pillar without any timidity, his black eyes looked up and down the pillar lively.Wang Xiaochuan has a wide forehead, big eyes and thick eyebrows, no matter who he sees, he opens his mouth and laughs, very much like Wang Pengze.

Wang Pengze was not at home during this time, and Yao Rui was called by Yao Min from his hometown in the countryside to take care of Xiao Chuan.Yao Min was working at the towel quilt factory, so he didn't come back at noon.Xiao Chuan saw the luggage that Wang Pengze had brought back on the ground, so he ran over to ride on it to play, grabbed the zipper and didn't open it for a long time.Yao Rui sat in the living room watching TV without saying a word, only pretending to be angry and yelling at Xiao Chuan: "Xiao Chuan, come here." Wang Pengze looked at his watch, it was already past one noon.He planned to let Zhuzi follow a third-year class in the afternoon, and there was not much time left.Wang Pengze asked Yao Rui:

"Xiao Rui, is there anything to eat in the kitchen?"

Yao Rui replied: "No, Xiao Chuan and I ate yesterday's leftovers for lunch."

Yao Rui never seemed to have ever smiled, and his flat face was always blank. When he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the TV, and there was no enthusiasm in his tone. He hadn't looked at Wang Pengze since he opened the door.Zhu Zi felt strange, and wondered if he had just met Yao Rui and didn't know her well enough, so he only saw her dull side.

Zhuzi secretly pays attention to Wang Pengze's reaction.Wang Pengze seemed to be used to it long ago and didn't care. He went into the kitchen and took a look, then came out and said to Zhuzi, "Let's eat something casually on the road later, time is running out, you and I have to take a shower, Let's go to your room now."

Wang Pengze walked over and leaned over to hold Xiao Chuan's hand, and Xiao Chuan got off the luggage obediently.Wang Pengze picked up his luggage, pushed open the door of a room, and both Zhuzi and Xiaochuan followed in.

Wang Pengze's home has two bedrooms and a living room.Both Wang Pengze and Yao Min have jobs, so they have everything they should have at home, such as a refrigerator, TV, and washing machine.After a long time, Zhu Zi discovered that these three kinds of electrical appliances were meaningless to Wang Pengze. Wang Pengze never watched TV, only read newspapers, and washed his clothes in the bathroom every day without using a washing machine. As for the refrigerator, it was completely useless. I bought it for Wang Xiaochuan, and it contained milk and snacks.

The room prepared for Zhuzi is a very small bedroom. Wang Pengze said that this room was originally prepared for Xiao Chuan. Now Xiao Chuan is too young to sleep alone, so it is often empty, and it is used as a guest room when guests come.

When school was over in the afternoon, Zhu Zi walked out of the school gate with his schoolbag on his back, and immediately saw Wang Pengze holding Wang Xiaochuan standing by the side of the road waiting for him.Wang Xiaochuan took one of Wang Pengze's fingers, straightened his small body, leaned over, exerted all his strength, crying and fussing to go somewhere.Wang Pengze just stood solemnly, watching the students walking out of the school intently, lest the pillars could not see him.

Zhu Zi was excited by this scene, and walked quickly towards Wang Pengze, and then saw a large truck passing quickly behind Wang Pengze and Wang Xiaochuan, disturbing many people on the side of the road, and the scene was a bit chaotic, Wang Xiaochuan couldn't help but There was trouble, Wang Pengze turned around to see what happened.The pillar stopped for a moment, he felt that this was not a good omen, the father and son in front of him looked lonely and helpless in the panic.

Wang Pengze picked up Wang Xiaochuan and turned around.The pillar walked slowly.

Wang Pengze patted Zhuzi on the shoulder as usual, and asked with a smile:

"Sit at the back, can you see the blackboard clearly?"

Zhuzi nodded, and said to Wang Pengze, "Actually, you don't need to come pick me up, I've already memorized the way."

Wang Pengze said: "Let's not go home yet, I'll take you to see my mother."

Whenever Wang Pengze said the words "my father" and "my mother" naturally, Zhuzi secretly laughed in his heart. These two words prove that although Wang Pengze is a 40-year-old man, he has the same identity as Zhuzi. You must stand in the position of a child and listen to the words of the elders.Zhuzi thinks that this is the cutest time for Wang Pengze. No matter where he is in the future, as long as he hears these two words, he will always think of Wang Pengze's appearance, like a good boy who still retains a dependent mentality.

Along the way, Wang Xiaochuan cried twice in Wang Pengze's arms: "I want my mother." But each time he yelled, he forgot, and kept turning around and looking at the side of the road.Wang Pengze was a little preoccupied, hugged Wang Xiaochuan and walked hurriedly, asking Zhuzi about his studies without saying a word.

When passing by a vegetable market, Zhuzi said, "Uncle, let me hug Xiaochuan." Wang Pengze hugged Xiaochuan to Zhuzi, took the schoolbag from Zhuzi's shoulder, and went into the vegetable market to buy vegetables.Zhuzi followed Xiaochuan in his arms.Wang Xiaochuan was very excited when he was walking around in the vegetable market, and he had to lean over to grab the brightly colored things when he saw them.Wang Pengze bought some vegetables, meat, and some peaches, and when he was about to leave the market, he turned around and saw that Wang Xiaochuan was holding a red apple in his hand.Wang Pengze didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked Zhuzi, "Which stall did you get this apple from?"

Only then did Zhuzi see what was in Wang Xiaochuan's hand, and he wondered, "I don't know."

Soon a woman ran over from behind the pillar, grabbed the pillar and said, "Your child, take me an apple."

Wang Pengze took the apple from Xiaochuan's hand, checked it, and found that it had not been bitten.Just as he was about to return the apple to the woman, Wang Xiaochuan kicked his feet in Zhuzi's arms and cried again: "I want my mother."Wang Pengze smiled awkwardly, and said to the woman, "Forget it, I'll buy it."

After leaving the market, Zhuzi was aggrieved.

"A little apple is so embarrassed to ask for money."

Wang Pengze said with a smile: "People should ask for money, this is the city."

Zhuzi asked: "Xiao Chuan kept calling for his mother, why didn't you leave him at home with Auntie?"

"His grandma misses him."

Wang Pengze looked at Zhu Zi's face and answered, as if he cared about Zhu Zi's reaction.

"Besides, your aunt and her sister went back to their parents' house this afternoon."

Zhu Zi froze for a moment, suddenly understood, and remained silent all the way.

Wang Pengze's mother lived in a tube building, on the first floor, not far from Wang Pengze's home.Wang Pengze knocked on the door and shouted: "Mom, I'm Pengze." A kind-faced old lady opened the door with a smile, and her eyes immediately stopped on the pillar.Just as Wang Pengze was about to introduce him, the old lady said excitedly, "This child must be a pillar. I've heard Pengze tell you about you many times."

Zhuzi has no grandparents since he was a child. Hearing this loving greeting, his eye circles almost turned red.

The old lady lived in a house with a living room and a bedroom. There was only half of the bedroom. The kitchen and bathroom were outside the room, diagonally opposite the corridor, shared by several families.Compared with Wang Pengze's living room, this living room is really simple. There is no refrigerator, TV, washing machine, and the only electrical appliance is an electric fan. There is also a radio on the coffee table in front of the window, placed right in the middle.The furniture is also simple, near the door is a cupboard and a small square table, in the middle of the living room is a rectangular dining table, four chairs are neatly put together under the table, near the window there is a long sofa and a single Sofa, surrounded by a small coffee table.

But compared with Wang Pengze's home, Zhu Zi prefers this place, quiet and tidy, every table has a clean tablecloth, the window panes are spotlessly clean, plants are placed on the window sills, and birdcages are hung.What attracts Zhuzhu the most is a bookcase next to the single sofa, which is neatly filled with books, and there are brushes placed obliquely in the pen container on the top of the bookcase.

After entering the room, Wang Xiaochuan immediately ran to the bedroom, and soon brought out a lazy white cat.

Wang Pengze has been busy since he came here.The old lady took Zhuzhu's hand, warmly greeted him to sit down on the sofa, and poured three cups of tea graciously. At this time, Wang Pengze had washed the peaches and brought them over on a plate.The old lady took one for the pillar, picked up the other, and peeled a piece with a fruit knife for Wang Xiaochuan.

Zhu Zi saw Wang Pengze took a few pots from the cupboard to cook, so he stood up and wanted to help.The old lady took Zhuzhu's hand and said with a smile: "Let your uncle do it, sit down and talk to me."

That day the old lady asked a lot about the situation in Zhuzi's hometown, and almost everything Zhuzi talked about was related to Wang Pengze.The old lady had a thin body and gray hair. She looked at the pillar with a pair of eyes smiling, and listened carefully with a smile on her face.Zhuzi looked at her, and suddenly remembered that when Lin Huizhen was young, Wang Pengze's mother often took her home for dinner and watched her and Wang Pengze do their homework together. Zhuzi imagined the scene at that time, it must be worthy of Lin Huizhen's memory.Only such a mother can educate such a good son as Wang Pengze.

Wang Xiaochuan lay on his grandma's lap and started crying again: "I want my mother. I want my mother."

The old lady used a towel to carefully wipe off the fruit residue that Xiao Chuan vomited on her clothes, and suddenly remembered something, and asked Zhuzi suspiciously: "Xiao Chuan's mother, isn't she at home?"

Zhuzi replied: "Yes, according to my uncle, auntie went back to her mother's house this afternoon."

Seeing the old lady's eyes turned disappointed and dazed, Zhuzi felt remorseful, and suddenly realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said.The old lady stretched out her thin hands and hugged Xiao Chuan onto her lap.Zhu Zi couldn't bear to watch it, and ran out in a hurry on the pretext of wanting to see how Wang Pengze's rice was doing.

Besides Wang Pengze, there was another woman cooking in the kitchen.Seeing the pillar, Wang Pengze asked, "Why don't you talk to my mother for a while?"

Zhu Zi didn't answer, and took a dish that Wang Pengze had cooked.After the woman cooking left, Wang Pengze asked again: "What's wrong?"

Zhuzi told Wang Pengze in a low voice: "Grandma already knows about Auntie returning to her mother's house."

Wang Pengze seemed indifferent, staring at the water in the pot.After the water boiled, Zhuzi shouted: "The water is boiling." Wang Pengze came back to his senses and threw the laver into it.

After dinner, the old lady and Wang Pengze went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, while Zhu Zi watched Wang Xiaochuan in the living room.Wang Xiaochuan lay down on the ground to play with the white cat, but in the end the white cat couldn't stand it anymore, and took a chance to jump out.Wang Xiaochuan got up and chased outside, Zhuzi hurried over to pick up Wang Xiaochuan, and went out together to find him.
