1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 441 Luo Tao revisits his hometown
"What?"

The man also quickly found a magazine and ignored Luo Tao outside the window. He stared at it for a long time before raising his head and looking at the person standing in front of him without saying anything.

He murmured to himself, "It looks like, it really looks like! Cough."

Halfway through the words, he quickly put down the magazine in his hand, opened the door and came out, smiling apologetically: "I would like to ask you, is your name Luo Tao?"

He stared at Luo Tao, fearing that Luo Tao would say something wrong.

Luo Tao didn't know what he meant. He was arrogant at first and respectful at the end.

Now he is still asking himself if he is Luo Tao. At this time, Luo Tao really wants to see what is in that magazine?This caught his attention.

Luo Tao felt a little pretentious when he asked him this question, so he asked him, "I am, what's wrong? It doesn't look like that?"

He laughed and said, "It looks like, it looks so similar. I'm so sorry. I didn't know it was you. I'm really sorry for you."

He wanted to shake hands with Luo Tao, but was embarrassed, so he stretched out his hand and then retracted it.

"Oh, by the way, here is something that Teacher Li gave you. I'll get it for you."

Luo Tao was alone in the wind and confused, and he had no idea what he was singing.

As he spoke, he turned around and entered the guard room. After a while, he carried two large stacks of books, which looked quite heavy.

Seeing that Li Su was carrying a book, Luo Tao thought to himself that he really deserves to be a teacher, and doing a job is a job he loves.

He quickly offered his hand and took a stack of books.

In order to learn more about the specific situation, the two people stood at the school gate and chatted.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Luo, I'm really sorry for mistaking you for those people."

Luo Tao was also very embarrassed, secretly blaming himself for being so good-looking and making people think wildly. "Oh, I can't blame you for this now. I blame me for not communicating with you well. Let's make it clear.

I must have scared you just now. I am here to apologize to you. "

The fierce appearance just now must have frightened him, and besides, it was not a big deal at all. Once the misunderstanding was resolved, it would be no big deal.

"Hey, everything you said is a misunderstanding.

When I went to work early this morning, Teacher Li told me about this book and said that a classmate named Luo would come to pick it up later. It was my fault. I really didn’t expect it to be you. "

"Hehehe, it's no big deal." Seeing that there was no one at the school gate, Luo Tao quietly started to gossip and asked, "Is Teacher Li so popular?"

Ever since he recognized Luo Tao, his attitude toward Luo Tao had changed 180 degrees and he was extremely polite.

"To tell you the truth, that's a lot..." He grinned, talking about it as if it were his own business.

He also saw the change in Luo Tao's face, "What's the matter...Mr. Luo, you are not married yet, right?...That would be great, let alone you and Mr. Li are really good match."

He looked at Luo Tao very seriously, as if he was looking at his son-in-law.

Well, the chat between these men cannot be informal. Now he is no longer a doorman, but her matchmaker.

It's better not to let him worry about this matter blindly. She is very happy with it. The key is that her jealous daughter-in-law is not happy with it.

"Hey, I thank you for your kindness. Sorry, I have a wife."

"Hey, I'm sorry, hehe, I don't have a good mouth, so don't worry. ... I'll help you."

This man is quite enthusiastic. First he thought he was a bad guy, and just now he was a matchmaker to protect fiber. He is quite busy every day.

"Thank you very much. That's my car in front of you." With his enthusiastic help, Luo Tao did not ask Xu Le to get out of the car not far away.

The two men each carried a stack of books and walked side by side. The man kept grinning, and he didn't know what he was enjoying.

Luo Tao also wanted to know how he recognized himself. It seemed that there were only legends about himself and there was never a wanted picture of him.

"Brother, let me ask you, how did you recognize me?"

He was stunned and quickly explained with a smile, "Don't you know about your newspaper?... You are a good person and have donated so much money to the people in the disaster area... If this matter had been left in the past, I wouldn't believe it. ... …”

He talked about a lot of things, but still didn't get to the point. How did he know that he was the Luo Tao mentioned in the newspaper, "Brother, there doesn't seem to be a photo of me in the newspaper, right?"

A few steps away from the car, the two people stopped and said, "Oh? The photo is from a magazine, not a newspaper."

"Is that the magazine you were reading just now?"

Unconsciously, he replied: "Yes, Beijing PepsiCo, this magazine was just launched. Not to mention that it is quite capable, but it was able to interview you."

Luo Tao smiled and agreed with him: "Oh."

"Brother, let me do it." At this time, Xu Le rushed over and took a stack of books from Luo Tao's hand.

Luo Tao suddenly took the stack of books from the elder brother's hand into his own, "Brother, can you lend me his magazine?"

Hearing that Luo Tao wanted to read the magazine, he was so happy that he agreed immediately. "Okay, no problem, just wait for me for a while."

He turned around and went to the guard room.

Xu Le didn't know the situation and asked hurriedly: "Brother, what's going on?"

"Oh, put this book in the car first, and I'll explain it to you later."

"Hey!" He returned with two stacks of books in his hand, and after a while, the big brother ran over.

"Mr. Luo, look, this is it. The second page is about you."

"Oh, thank you."

Luo Tao smiled and took it over. He saw that the cover showed a long alley, and there was nothing new about it.

Luo Tao flipped through the pages to make sure he was talking about himself, then closed the door, "Dare you ask, brother, what's your surname?"

"Oh, I'll spare you Wei, the Wei of the He Girl Ghost."

Luo Tao took the initiative to shake his hand and said, "Hello, Brother Wei, I have an uninvited invitation. I wonder if you can make it easier?"

When he heard that he could provide convenience to such a rich man, he felt so happy!

"You say?"

"Hehehe, can you sell me this magazine? I like it very much."

"Well, look what you said, if you like it, just take it, no matter how much money you ask."

Luo Tao didn't expect that he would be so generous and just gave away a few dollars. "Thank you very much. I have something to do here. I'll treat you to a drink when you have time."

"That's daring."

"Then let's make an agreement. By the way, please tell Li Su about the book."

"..."

"..."

Seeing that Luo Tao and the guard had been chatting for so long, Zhu Lin was a little overthinking, "What else are you talking about? It's been so long."

Luo Tao closed the car door and said to Xu Le first, "Let's go."

Then he handed the magazine to the couple sitting in the back row.

"have a look."

She continued to come over with doubts, and didn't rush to ask what she was looking at?He opened it himself.

When I turned to the second page, I saw a big title: Luo Tao's 300 million donation.

The entire article praises Luo Tao and is very clear about Luo Tao's donation. More importantly, there is a photo of Luo Tao in the article.

"Didn't you say that those newspapers are not allowed to publish your photos? What's going on?"

"I still want to ask you, give it to me." Luo Tao took it over and said, "We must investigate this matter carefully when we get back. I want to see who is so capable."

————————————————————————————On the way out of the capital to Shazihe Commune in Huai County, Xu Le saw that the road was full of potholes and dirt.

He somewhat doubted life and asked Luo Tao, who was looking out the window attentively: "Brother, is this the road?"

Luo Tao was called out by Xu Le, and he came back to his senses, "That's right, it's this road, and driving ahead is the village where I went to live in the countryside."

Zhu Lin and Xiao Shiyue both looked out the window at the green wheat fields and muddy roads. They were full of curiosity about this place.

Both of them have never suffered anything before, so I brought them here just to let them experience it.

The main thing is to educate my son Xiaoyueyue and let him know that his father had not had it easy back then.

"Alas! I returned to the city after my grandpa died in 76, and I have never been back since then. ... I used to cut in line here and just wanted to escape. Hahaha, I didn't expect that after escaping, I would instead think about here. One tree after another.

Do you think this is strange? "

After Zhu Lin heard this, he answered: "Because there is someone you miss here."

There is something in her words.

"You are really right. When we first came here, we were as happy as if we had been injected with chicken blood... We had a good time in the first one or two months. Later, the beans and corn were ripe, and it was the autumn harvest season. …

I worked in the fields day and night. I don't remember working for two days. My hand holding the sickle was full of blisters...

Later, I met Uncle Ershun. He saw that I couldn’t do any farm work and didn’t understand anything. From then on, we worked together as a team every time, and he taught me while working. Work.

I was the happiest at that time. "

Luo Tao became more and more excited as he talked, and he kept talking to them about this topic.

In the ten years since he returned to the city, today is the most time Luo Tao has talked to others about his time as an educated youth.

Xu Le was driving carelessly, and even said in a rage: "Brother, I remember the last time you said you were happiest, you were talking about the time you were in love with Sister Lin."

Luo Tao's eyes widened. If it weren't for the sake of his driving, he would have strangled him to death. If he failed, he would fail.

"Go away, I think your mouth is full of trouble.

Today I solemnly tell you that I am happy every day, every minute, every second with your sister Lin. "

He turned back and said to Zhu Lin, who was smiling but not smiling: "This kid has learned to be jealous now, and he has also learned to be bad. Come and tell Xiao Min tomorrow and advise her not to worry about getting married."

As soon as Luo Tao said these words, he hit Xu Le's seven inches. Before Zhu Lin could say anything, he said anxiously: "Brother, I was wrong. Sister Lin, it was me who said that just now." It’s nonsense, I take it back.”

Zhu Lin knew it well, and in order to scare Xu Le, he said with a straight face, "It's too late."

"Sister Jie Lin, I was wrong..." Xu Le explained to Zhu Lin while driving the car that his words did not mean to instigate the relationship between their husband and wife at all.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, drive hard and turn right at the intersection ahead."

The topic turned to business, and everyone was very serious.

"Oh."

Not long after the car turned right, it was Little October who complained, "Dad, my ass is all broken today. When can we get there?"

Xu Le slowed down after hearing this.

"You're complaining after only a short while,...don't worry." Luo Tao pointed to a house not far in front of him, and he could still see a few wisps of smoke rising from the village in the distance.

"That's right up front.

Let me tell you, don't lose your temper when you get to the village, and be good, or I'll beat you up. "

When he heard that his father was going to beat him again, he hugged Zhu Lin tightly and became more courageous, "Huh, if you beat me, I will tell my grandma when I get home."

Then he felt that what he just said was inappropriate, and said in a very flattering tone: "I won't lose my temper."

Luo Tao and Xu Le turned to look at each other and smiled. Little October saw Zhu Lin, who was also smiling, complaining: "Mom, look at my dad, he is laughing at me again."

Zhu Lin glanced at him and hugged him tightly, "Hey, it turns out that our little adults can also be angry. It's rare."

What he said was so heartless. Seeing that none of the three people in the car were with him, Xiao October had no choice but to puff up his cheeks and swallow his words.

As the car got closer and closer to the village, Luo Tao's heart became more and more confused. He didn't know what to say first when he saw his former friends.I don’t know how to explain to them why I haven’t come back for a visit in the past ten years?

Yes, the capital is less than [-] kilometers away from here, which is just over two hours' drive, and even walking takes less than a day.

Luo Tao's heart was very confused at this time, and he also wanted to stop the car and stop moving forward, and turn around and go back here.

When he came to the entrance of the village and saw the stage he was familiar with, Luo Tao immediately recalled every time he came here for meetings in those three years.

"Brother, what should we do next?"

Luo Tao came to his senses again, "Oh." After thinking about it, he directed Xu Le to the south end of the village.

Zhu Lin was very attentive along the way and noticed Luo Tao's absence many times.

His eyes were very focused on Luo Tao, who was sitting in the front row. He didn't say anything, but just supported silently in his heart.

"Slow down and let me take a good look."

Xu Le didn't talk nonsense when he heard Luo Tao's words, so he drove as slowly as possible. This was the first time he saw Luo Tao like this. Although he didn't understand it, he knew that Luo Tao must like it here.

After watching for a while, Luo Tao's eyes were a little wet, and he cried and said with a smile: "It has been ten years, and nothing has changed here."

In his previous life, he left in 76 and never came again.

In the years after I returned to the city in my previous life, I also thought about coming to see it, but I was too busy with work and delayed it. Later, I got married, had children, and went into business, so I had no time.

Later, when I got money, I forgot about this place long ago.

Now that I am here, coupled with the fact that it is still so "simple", the mood is even more indescribable.

I don't know if Uncle Ershun and his family are doing well?

Xu Le accidentally caught a glimpse of Luo Tao's tears and called him in a low voice, "Brother."

"Oh." Luo Tao choked with a strong smile: "It's okay, stop at the big locust tree in front."

Zhu Lin said nothing and put his hand on Luo Tao's left shoulder to comfort him.

Luo Tao smiled and touched her hand on his shoulder with his right hand, "I'm fine, I just have to think about the past."

Since Luo Tao and his three vehicles entered the village, they attracted the attention of the villagers, and no one knew what they were doing.

"Whose house is this going to?"

"What is this for?"

"I do not know!"

"Let's go and take a look." He turned around and said to the young man following him: "Shuanzi, go and tell your fourth uncle quickly."

"Okay, dad." The young man didn't say anything and ran away.

When Luo Tao came this time, without notifying them, he chatted with Li Su, wanting to ask her if she had been back these years.

It was okay if I didn't ask, but when I asked Luo Tao, he felt a mixture of joy and sorrow. He was happy that they had never come back, and he didn't blame himself that much. What he was worried about was that everyone had forgotten this place.

Enter the village quietly, and don’t let anyone shoot you.

Arriving under the big locust tree, Luo Tao and his party got out of the car.

Luo Tao looked at the big locust tree and the house in front of him. He felt a little uneasy. It had changed. Instead of the small house before, it had been replaced by several large tile-roofed houses.

The doors were locked, and there were many people watching around, but no one could recognize Luo Tao, and no one came forward to ask: Who are you looking for?
Luo Tao saw that no one was home at the house he wanted to see, so he strode towards the onlookers.
