Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 103
When he got up in the morning, Tian Cheng tied the gift he had prepared to the back of the motorcycle, took a few mouthfuls of food, and hurried out the door. Since his pig breeding farm was listed, every time he went out, he would go out early. When I went home, firstly I was afraid that Lianying would be worried, and secondly, I was afraid that my business would be delayed for a day.It is no exception to visit distinguished guests today.

When Tian Cheng drove to his father-in-law's house in Liji Village, his father-in-law was eating, and the mother-in-law who was standing in the yard and was feeding chickens saw Tian Cheng coming in, and greeted him, "Look at your uncle getting up early, combing his hair again in front of the mirror, and It’s fitting, I’ve been busy all morning, and I’m more particular than attending major events before.”

"Looking at what my aunt said, the friends I haven't seen in decades, and they have been leaders, can't make us look shabby!" Tian Cheng said with a smile.

Ren Pingfan heard his wife's answer with Tian Cheng in the courtyard, and greeted Tian Cheng in the house: "Come in quickly, and see what I have packed is not appropriate?"

Tian Cheng agreed and entered the room, and was really surprised when he saw Ren Fanping eating. He was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and his leather shoes were polished brightly. It looks like a model, although it is already gray, but it is also shiny.

"It's really extraordinary!" Tian Cheng praised with a smile.

"Thanks to the clothes you bought, I was afraid of the cold in the car, so I bought another jacket yesterday." Ren Fanping pointed to the jacket hanging on the clothesline.

"You are still more thoughtful than I am!" Tian Cheng laughed.

"It's just that I can take care of myself. When people get old, they will think about more things. Compared with you, they have become much duller!" Ren Fanping said modestly seeing Tian Cheng boasting about himself again.

"When you said this, I thought about it again. You are old. I will send you to the bus station in the town. You will take a car and I will ride a motorcycle. When I arrive at the county town, I will pick you up at the station?" Tian Cheng listened The father-in-law said that he was too old, and he was afraid that he would not be suitable for riding a motorcycle, so he reminded him.

"Why are you making such trouble, drive slowly, we can talk about things on the road together." Ren Fanping waved his hand and said.

"Then I'll listen to you!" Tian Cheng thought in his mind, the distance from here to the county seat is less than fifty miles away, usually Tian Cheng drives faster, usually only takes about ten minutes, but now with his father-in-law following the car, it is naturally much slower, even if it takes one Hours, and the time to arrive at the county seat will not exceed ten o'clock, so it is just right to drop by.

After Ren Fanping finished his meal, he tidied up again. The hour hand had already pointed to eight o'clock, and the two of them got into the car. Tian Cheng didn't dare to drive as fast as before. He controlled the speed below thirty kilometers per hour, sitting like this The people in the car feel comfortable and comfortable, and they can hear each other clearly when talking.

Although the weather was less windy in autumn, the wind brought by the car still made Ren Fanping, who was sitting in the car, afraid of drinking the wind, his mouth tightened, so naturally he didn't dare to speak much.

When the motorcycle entered the county seat, Tian Cheng thought that Yu Guangzhou should be at the work unit, and it would not look good to go to the work unit with this gift, so he parked the car on the side of the road not far from the gate of the Agriculture Bureau, and said to his father-in-law: "I'll be there The unit is located in Guangzhou, so we can only ask him to take us to see Uncle Liang, otherwise we won’t be able to find the door!”

"That's fine, you go find him, I'll watch the car here!" Ren Fanping naturally saw what Tian Cheng was thinking.

The things that had been agreed upon were naturally less tortuous. When Yu Guangzhou saw Tian Cheng coming in, he said hello and then put down the work in hand.

"What a coincidence that you came. If you come later, I will go out. Now it's just in time. I can't go on business a few times this year. Today, I happen to be going out with the leader, so I can't accompany you. I will find someone I will lead you there!" Yu Guangzhou said as he walked out of the office.

Tian Cheng felt a little pity that Guangzhou could not accompany them, after all, there were not many such opportunities, after thinking about it, he had more chances to meet him alone, now that he knew each other, it would be much easier to find him in the future.While thinking about it, a beautiful little girl was brought in from Guangzhou.

"Let me introduce, this is Xiao Cheng from our office, let her take you to my father-in-law." Yu Guangzhou finished his introduction.

"Hello, Teacher Wang!" Xiao Cheng said politely

"Hi, I'm sorry to trouble you!" Tian Cheng felt that the little girl in front of him should have something to do with Yu Guangzhou, otherwise how could he arrange for her to go.

"I've told Xiao Cheng about your situation just now. It's not too far from here to my father-in-law. Xiao Cheng is not an outsider, so you can just follow her!" Yu Guangzhou's words further confirmed Tian Cheng's thoughts.

"Then let's go!" Xiao Cheng's Mandarin was very good, and it was very comfortable to listen to.

"Okay, then let's go first!" Tian Cheng greeted Guangzhou before going out.

After leaving the office door, Tian Cheng asked Xiao Cheng: "Do you still ride a bike?"

"You don't need to ride a bike. Uncle Liang is only a hundred meters away from us, but you don't know it. Let me take you once and you'll know!"

Tian Cheng nodded, Xiao Cheng called Uncle Liang, this Xiao Cheng must have a relationship with Uncle Liang.

After leaving the gate of the Agricultural Bureau, Tian Cheng hurriedly looked in the direction where his father-in-law was standing, and it happened that his father-in-law was also looking at him. Go and push the car over."

"There's no need to push, we're going that way!" Xiao Cheng said and walked in the direction where Tian Cheng parked.

When he walked in front of Ren Fanping, Tian Cheng introduced: "This is Teacher Cheng from the office."

Ren Fanping greeted immediately: "Hello."

"Hello! Uncle! Let's turn the corner ahead and see Uncle Liang's house!" Xiao Cheng said enthusiastically.

"Thank you!" Ren Fanping immediately expressed his gratitude.

"Your old lady is too polite. Brother Yu told me just now that you and Uncle Liang are classmates, and my father and Uncle Liang are comrades in arms. We are also considered a family." Xiao Cheng introduced.

As they said that, they had already turned the corner and entered a small alley on the side of the road. The alley was not very deep. Xiao Cheng pointed to a gate in the alley and said, "That's Uncle Liang's home!" Before knocking on the door.

"Here we come!" With the promised voice inside the door, the door opened.

"Isn't this Xiao Cheng! Come in quickly!" The person who opened the door was a fat middle-aged woman, in Tian Cheng's opinion, she was only in her 40s.

"Auntie, there are guests at your house!" Xiao Cheng's name immediately made Tiancheng understand that this was Mrs. Liang's wife, and hurried forward to say hello: "Aunt Liang, my name is Wang Tiancheng, this is my father-in-law, when Uncle Liang was young classmate." Tian Cheng said while pointing to Ren Fanping who was following behind the car.

Ren Fanping was also busy greeting him: "Look, I haven't seen my old classmate for so many years, and I'm here to trouble you today!"

Mrs. Liang felt a little offended by Ren Fanping's polite words: "Look, my old Liang didn't sleep well last night when he heard you came, and he didn't go shopping after breakfast, and he hasn't come back yet! Come in, come in!" He said politely and gave way to the door.

"Auntie, do you have anything else to arrange for me? I'll go back to work if there's nothing else, just call me if there's anything else!" Xiao Cheng said to Mrs. Liang with a smile.

"Go ahead, I'll let them drink water and wait for your uncle to come back." Mrs. Liang smiled and waved to Xiao Cheng.

Ren Fanping and Tian Cheng entered the door, Madam Liang let them into the living room and sat down.

"Look, I'm just here to catch up with my old classmates, there's no special meaning, but he really recognized it!" Ren Fanping said to Mrs. Liang.

"He mentioned you to me from time to time, because of the inconvenient transportation, that's why he couldn't go to your house to recognize your door!" Madam Liang muttered, although the words were short, it seemed that Madam Liang's words were very pleasant to listen to, don't worry about Mr. Liang She didn't mention Ren Fanping, but after what she said, Ren Fanping was as warm as a spring breeze.

Tian Cheng was infected by Mrs. Liang's enthusiasm just now, and even forgot to get off the things on the car and sat down along with him. At this moment, he suddenly thought of the things on the car, so he stood up, walked to the door, and got out of the car by himself. The big cardboard box tied up was untied, and the cover of the cardboard box was carefully opened on the ground, and then two chickens poked their heads out, startling him, and he hurriedly shouted to Mrs. Liang who was talking in the room: "Aunt Liang , Prepare a belt and cover the household items, and put down the lake products I brought."

Mrs. Liang who heard the shout came out, saw the two old turtles in the box and said, "Why are you still carrying such a valuable thing?"

"I didn't bring anything, except for the ones I raised at home, which are special products from our lake!" Tian Cheng responded.

Mrs. Liang brought a big wooden bucket from the kitchen, put the two turtles in it, Tian Cheng poured some water into the bucket, and then went into the living room.

"Where are our guests?" The questioning voice from the courtyard immediately made the three people sitting in the room stand up in unison.

"Look, whoever is here, Lao Liang is back!" Mrs. Liang responded to Mr. Liang in the yard after finishing speaking: "The guest is in the house! Why did you come back?"

Ren Fanping and Tian Cheng greeted him out of the house.

"Oops! Old classmate, his appearance still hasn't changed, he just looks more mature!" Mr. Liang hurried forward to hold Ren Fanping's hand and said.

"It's the same with you, but you look a little fatter, and nothing else has changed. I haven't seen you in decades, and you hit it off!" Ren Fanping said with emotion.

"You see, our children and grandchildren are so old, are we all old?" Liang Lao agreed.

"That's right, looking at your attire, you are still as energetic and exquisite as before, I am ashamed of myself!" Looking at Ren Fanping's attire, Mr. Liang felt that the old classmates in front of him still hadn't changed the style of the past.

"Hey! After so many years, people can't be old with their hearts, otherwise they are really old!" Ren Fanping still did not change the momentum of the past.

"I still have to thank you for what happened back then. If you hadn't drawn me to join the Eighth Route Army back then, I wouldn't know what I would be doing now!" Mr. Liang recalled the past vividly.

"What are you talking about? In fact, we participated in the Eighth Route Army together. After you left, my parents refused to agree with me to join the army and asked me to come back from the army. I really couldn't help myself, so I haven't been able to get out so far. Half a step away from home." When Ren Fanping mentioned the events of that year, he always lamented.

"When our brothers were young, I listened to you the most. When the Eighth Route Army came to our place, I followed you to post leaflets and write propaganda slogans on the wall. Which one was not directed by you! Don't tell me, I followed the army. For a few years, it can be said that he was born and died. Although he has never carried a gun and fought a war, he came out of the hail of bullets. The two years of fighting the devils was really dark. When he was raided by the devils, he ate his last meal without his next meal. Think about it At that time, I didn't know if I would be able to come back alive, and I didn't even have confidence." When Mr. Liang said this, his eyes were a little moist, and it seemed that those years had become an indelible scar in his heart.

"Let's not talk about that anymore, let's talk about some happy things in this peaceful age!" Ren Fanping saw that Mr. Liang was a little sad, and didn't want to talk about the sad past. The purpose of coming this time is not to talk about old things, but more importantly To solve Tiancheng's major event.Although Ren Fanping didn't know what was going on with Tian Cheng, but Tian Cheng repeatedly persuaded himself to come and visit this old classmate, he must have something big to do in his heart.So he turned around and said: "Now our grandchildren have grown up here, I heard from my daughter-in-law that your son is in BJ, and your daughter is also working!"

"Yeah, my son graduated from college and now works in a state-owned enterprise in BJ, and my daughter works in our county hospital. My son rarely comes here. When I miss my grandson, I go to see them! Fortunately, my daughter is by my side, and she often visits me !" Mr. Liang looked at his wife who was busy cooking outside the door and said: "Now I have retired from the Agriculture Bureau, and my wife has also retired from the Material Bureau. I usually have nothing to do. I just read books and newspapers at home and get up early to exercise. Body, at our age, the body is the biggest asset!"

"Your life is very regular. Your daughters here eat the national food and have an iron rice bowl. Don't worry. My two daughters are married, and the boss is the one in front of us. Now the responsibility system is implemented in the countryside, and the policy is good. These few days The new year has become more prosperous." Ren Fanping glanced at Tian Cheng, and then said: "The second girl's family works in a food factory, so she has a solid job, and the youngest is my son, who is now in high school in the county's No. [-] middle school! With you In comparison, I will be busy for a few more years."

"Busy work is good, busy work is showing that we are always strong! I want to be busy, but I can't find anything to do! You are much better than me." Liang Lao said with a smile.

Mr. Liang's words gave Tian Cheng an opportunity to interrupt: "Uncle Liang, I think if you want to do something, I'll ask you to do it. I've set up a pig breeding farm in the countryside now, and it's been more than a year. Just being a pig farm is very limited, but I want to grow bigger but I don’t know where to go next, please be my backbone, what do you think?”

As soon as Tian Cheng's words came out, the two old men immediately realized his existence. Ren Fanping looked at Tian Cheng and felt that this was the major event of the day, so he continued, "Look at what kind of important matter you are asking Uncle Liang to take care of. I will pay you Uncle Liang!"

"That's for sure. I really can't do without Uncle Liang as the backbone." Tian Cheng said it with full sincerity.

Mr. Liang immediately understood when he heard the couple singing together: "I heard that you are studying at the Agricultural Broadcasting School in our county. I know all the teachers there. If you want to invite senior candidates, I can introduce you. If you can plan anything, if you really need me, I’m still willing to help.”

This made Tian Cheng immediately feel that Mr. Liang's words were a pun, that is, he did not evade his own request, but also expressed his innermost feelings. He just wanted to have a senior counselor to help him plan, and he also put forward his personal wishes at the end .

Tian Cheng was very happy, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Uncle Liang first."

Although Liang Lao went to buy vegetables and came back, due to time constraints, Mrs. Liang was more thoughtful and went directly to the restaurant outside to order six dishes. Several people were talking happily when the food delivery person came in.

When Ren Fanping saw the dishes served, he felt very sorry. When he came, Tian Cheng wanted to invite them to a restaurant for dinner, but his idea of ​​paying the bill by himself fell through, so he immediately said: "Look, when I come, I plan to have a meal with you at a restaurant , I didn’t expect it to be delivered directly to my home!”

"It's close to the restaurant, and it's very convenient to deliver food. It's convenient for us to eat at home, so I just ordered food and chatted while you three were talking." Mrs. Liang said as she put the chopsticks and wine glasses on the table. In front of three people.

Liang Sihua took out a bottle of old wine and filled three cups, and the three of them gave in to each other again, talking and laughing as they ate the wine.

Needless to say the polite words on the wine table, because of their age, the three of them each drank a small glass of wine and did not refill it.

After eating, seeing that it was still early, the three of them drank tea for a while and chatted casually. Tian Cheng thought that people in the city had the habit of taking a nap, so he proposed to take advantage of the high temperature at noon to avoid the temperature later Low, afraid of father-in-law catching a cold and other reasons, got up and said goodbye and went home.

Liang Sihua and his wife were courteous again, turned around and brought out a box of unknown things from the house, and insisted on asking Tian Cheng to take it back as a gift for Ren Fanping.The four gave way to each other, in the end Tian Cheng had no choice but to tie it to the car and bring it back.

　Tian Cheng is the leader of the rural reform. He has a big heart, is willing to do good deeds, and wants to do great things, but suffers from the limited vision. He can only cross the river by feeling the stones and explore in the dark. Zhuge Liang, who was invited by the three visits to the thatched cottage in the novel, gave him advice. Based on this, while studying, he found this father-in-law classmate who had been a leader for many years and asked him to guide him.
