1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 442 Luo Tao revisits his old place [-]

Their faces are all very blurry, and I can't connect with the people in my memory.

Luo Tao didn't dare to pretend to identify them, so he politely asked about the situation of Uncle Ershun's family who had helped him back then. "Can you guys please ask if Wang Ershun's family lives here?"

Luo Tao handed over the cigarettes.

They were dressed cleanly and elegantly, with their hair combed to a three-quarter length, and were meticulous. When they saw the cigarettes offered by Luo Tao, they all took them carefully.

Their movements are all uniform. They first wear a simple smile, showing a few yellow or black front teeth, and then rub their hands.

They are not young anymore. Luo Tao has met them before, but he is definitely not very familiar with them. Even if everyone has changed a lot in the past ten years, they will never be to the point where they still don't know each other after meeting.

"Oh, Wang Ershun left the year before last."

Luo Tao was very surprised when he heard the news. He stared at the man and asked a little awkwardly: "Brother, how did he leave?"

The man didn't understand Luo Tao's reaction, but for the sake of Zhonghua Cigarettes, he thought about it and said, "It seems to be some kind of cancer. I went to the county hospital the first day and got sick at home on the third day."

Another person said, "Yes, it's cancer. I heard Minyi Niang said that Er Shun has a brain problem and there is no cure."

Minyi's mother is Uncle Ershun's wife. Minyi is Uncle Ershun's eldest son, older than Luo Tao.

Luo Tao felt very sad when he heard the bad news, "Oh, thank you."

"No, what is your relationship with his family?"

Luo Tao couldn't answer this question for a moment, so he paused and said, "It's... a friend from many years ago."

With bitterness, he asked them again: "Then you don't know where their family members are now?"

"The whole family must have gone to cut down the acres of pear trees at their house, so why should I call you?"

"That would be too troublesome for you, brother."

He smiled and waved his hand, very simply: "Nothing, just wait a moment.

Second boy, go to Beidi and call your Uncle Minyi and the others back. Tell them that a distinguished guest is coming to your house and come back quickly. "

Luo Tao thought he was going, but he didn't expect that he would summon someone and ask a young man to go.

The second boy looked unhappy. Even though he was young, he understood the meaning of the person who ordered him. He was just afraid that if he left now, he wouldn't be able to get a good cigarette.

Luo Tao didn't have time to pay attention to their thoughts. He politely handed the two boys another cigarette and said, "Little brother, please run away."

"Ahem, you're too polite. I'll go right away." He was quite good at what he was doing. He was not willing to light the cigarette Luo Tao had just handed him, so he clamped it on his right ear and disappeared in a flash.

As soon as he left, Luo Tao saw a very familiar figure in his eyes.

He and the group of people he brought were also stunned when they saw Luo Tao and stared at him for a long time.

When they got closer, Luo Tao recognized them at a glance. The leader was Shen Qingchun, who was the captain of the militia back then. It was obvious from his face that he was not a good person, and he did not look like a crooked melon or jujube.

There was a black mole on the left side of his face near his ear. It was his postcard, and Yi Luotao quickly recognized him.

Those who came with him should be his sons, the eldest Shen Jianshe, the second son Shen joined the army, the third son Shen joined the war, the second and third sons were twins, and the fourth son was called Shen Yuanchao.

Luo Tao and the fourth son of his family, Shen Yuanchao, had a lot to do with each other.

This boy looked better than his father, and he often provoked female educated youths who went to the countryside.

Before they could recognize him, Luo Tao was one step ahead of them, "Hey, isn't this Captain Shen? Why, you don't recognize me anymore?"

Luo Tao looked much more mature than before, but his voice didn't change much. He was a little surprised, "Are you Luo Tao?"

"It's me. I never thought we could meet again. Come on, you smoke."

Luo Tao handed them a Chinese stick, and he took it in disbelief, staring at Luo Tao without even glancing at Huazi.

Luo Tao ignored him and brought his sons who were muttering about cigarettes to him.

"If I remember correctly, you are the construction brother."

Seeing Luo Tao's clothes and appearance, plus the three cars, he knew that Luo Tao was not an ordinary person now, so he spoke very carefully: "It's me, I didn't expect you to still remember me."

After taking the cigarette, Luo Tao said hello to the two brothers Shen Canjun and Shen Canzhan, and finally walked up to Shen Yuanchao and said with a smile: "Is brother Yuanchao married?"

His clothes are very fashionable at the moment, with jeans and a suit, and a crew cut. He looks like a businessman.

He knew what Luo Tao meant, "Whether you get married or not has nothing to do with you."

Luo Tao didn't care when he opened Luo Tao's hand to pass the cigarette.

Back then, this boy thought that a toad wanted to eat swan meat and marry Li Su, so he didn't show his virtue by soaking in urine.

Fortunately, the group of educated youth in Beijing were very united in dealing with this matter.

Coupled with the fact that there are a few people with unusual identities, this kid has no success.

Shen Qingchun came back to his senses, knowing that Luo Tao really came back, and knew in his heart that Luo Tao was no longer the bitter haha ​​he used to be, so he hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"It turns out it's Comrade Luo Tao. I'm getting older and I really didn't recognize you for a moment...Don't be familiar with Yuan Chao. He has been married a long time ago. I need to worry about you."

He pointed at the car and said with a smile: "You are so crazy... I didn't expect you to come to my poor place to see us. It's really touching."

... Let's stop hanging around here, go home, I'll let your aunt cook some delicious dishes, we two have a good drink.

It’s been so many years since I last saw you, I really miss you. "

He held Luo Tao's hand and chattered on and on. Luo Tao felt very contemptuous in his heart. I know who you are. Why are you so close to me?

But with Luo Tao's current status, he cannot treat such a person with dignity.

Luo Tao pushed his hand away, "Well, Captain Shen, I'm sorry today, I'm here this time to visit Aunt Ershun, next time, I will definitely visit at home when I have time."

"This..." He didn't expect Luo Tao to still be so vindictive, and his hot face touched his cold butt.

But for the sake of money, it was impossible for him to be angry with Luo Tao. He then said with a smile, "Minyi and his family have gone out and won't come back until dark. Come sit down with me and wait for them."

"By the way, I forgot to tell you something." He said with a look of sadness on his old face, "Wang Ershun is gone."

This old guy is pretending to be compassionate, and he must be extremely happy in his heart.

He and Uncle Er Shun had never dealt with each other since they were young, especially in special times.

"Oh, I know about this. These people have already told me."

Luo Tao pointed at them. Unexpectedly, they all showed scared expressions. You stabbed me, I stabbed you, and they left without even saying hello.

This scene fell in front of Luo Tao. He felt that the Shen family father and son were definitely doing evil in the village again and became village bullies.

Luo Tao didn't have a good impression of them in the first place. He thought that in this Qingming era, their family would be more restrained, but he didn't expect that they are still as in the past, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and dominating the village.

"What about Captain Shen? I still have some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you. We have time to talk another day."

Seeing that Luo Tao was so disrespectful and a bit shameless, Shen Qingchun looked very unhappy but did not speak.

Shen Yuanchao was anxious, "Luo Tao, you are so generous. My father invites you to dinner, but you don't even give me the honor."

Luo Tao looked back at him. Isn't this guy out of his mind? He can't see the form clearly. Doesn't this whole family even read newspapers?

The man in their family, ahem, even if his carrying pole fell to the ground, he didn't know what newspaper he was reading.

"I'm really sorry. I'm not free today. How about I apply for captain another day?"

The old guy still had some moral integrity, with a smile that was uglier than crying, "Well, I'll wait for Comrade Luo Tao's wine at home."

Then he said to the few people following him: "Let's go first... By the way, Erzhu, you run fast, go and help Comrade Luo Tao call Minyi and the others home." Luo Tao glanced at this old fox , really tolerable.

The man named Er Zhu could run faster than a dog after receiving the order, so Luo Tao regarded it as the old man's wish.

"Thank you, Captain Shen. Goodbye." He turned around and ran to his car.

When the Shen family father and son saw Luo Tao's leaving figure, they probably felt their teeth ached with hatred. Shen Qingchun said emotionlessly, "Don't look at it, let's go back too!"

"Dad, this guy is too crazy. Doesn't he just have some money?"

Shen Qingchun gave his son a cold look. He was not an old fool yet, and he could still tell who was rich and who was not.

There are a few people who can drive small cars these days who are not rich.

The father and son were speechless. Halfway down the road, Shen Qingchun suddenly said: "Hurry up and call your fourth uncle to our house."

A few people didn't know why. Shen Qingchun hated the iron and said, "Go quickly, why are you still standing there."

"Hey!"

They didn't know what big thing they were plotting, so let's not talk about it for now, and then look back at Luo Tao.

Zhu Lin and the others never got out of the car. When they saw Luo Tao coming back, they asked, "Who is that person?"

"It's okay." Luo Tao told the Shen family and his son lightly.

"I've been riding in the car for so long, let's get down and take a walk."

"I thought you wanted us two to stay in the car all day."

When his wife said this, Luo Tao apologized, "It's my fault... come down quickly. Uncle Er Shun's family will be here in a while."

Luo Tao first got out of the car with his fat son in his arms, and then gave his wife a hand to help Zhu Lin get out of the car.

"This place is really nice. Look at the green wheat fields. You can't see these in the city." Zhu Lin got out of the car and held Little October's hand, sighing at the wheat fields not far away in front of him.

"It looks good. Just take a look at it. There won't be a shop like this after passing this village."

"You just have to be poor. Come on, son, let's go and see if the big locust tree is as big as the two trees in front of Uncle Wang's shop."

Little October is very quiet today, following Zhu Lin.

Luo Tao saw that the two of them were looking for things to do on their own, so he didn't follow them and looked at them.

At this time Xu Le came over and said, "Brother, those guys just now don't look like good things."

Luo Tao glanced at him and thought that this guy was getting better and better at judging people.

Luo Tao smiled, "Okay, have fun, I have good eyesight,...they are really not good people."

This obedient listener, Xu Le listened to Luo Tao's words and immediately understood the meaning, "Brother, have they given you any obstacles?"

Luo Tao saw that he had a very wrong look on his face and was afraid that he would cause trouble. "I'm telling you, kid, don't mess around when you get to this place. It's all an old matter. Besides, I don't like them now. As long as the well is not violated, Just river water.”

"Brother, you are too compassionate."

Luo Tao patted him on the shoulder, "What do you know, kid? This is not called mercy. It's because they are not on the same level as us now. We are playing tricks with them."

He seemed to understand, "Oh."

Zhu Lin and Xiao Shiyue played under the big locust tree for a while, then turned back again.

"Is it fun?"

Xiao October shook his head, "It's not fun at all."

"Why isn't it fun?" Luo Tao bent down and touched his head and asked.

"It's just not fun anymore. I miss my sister." He grimaced and was about to cry.

Zhu Lin quickly advised him, "With your mother accompanying you, you also miss your sister. ...After a while, children will come to play with you."

Luo Tao received Zhu Lin's look and said, "Yes, there will be many children coming to play with you later."

"really?"

"Really, when did dad lie to you kid?"

"..."

"Uncle Minyi, look, those three cars are coming to your house."

As soon as Luo Tao heard this voice, he felt that it was very familiar. It was like Er Zhu who had just started calling people for him.

Minyi asked him: "Erzhu, do you know who is coming?"

He was also very uneasy. He carefully sorted out his relatives and friends along the way to see if there was anyone who could drive a small car. After thinking about it all the way, he didn't think of it.

"How would I know, but this person knows a lot about Beijing movies."

These words reminded Minyi and reminded him of the educated youth from the city back then.

I haven’t had any contact in many years, and I don’t know who is coming.

The wind blew under my feet, and the distance between the two people became farther and farther.

Minyi walked in front, Erzhu fell behind.

Luo Tao watched a familiar figure getting closer and closer, his eyes were lifeless and red.

He shouted, "People's justice."

Minyi heard this familiar voice again and stopped to listen carefully, but his eyes remained on Luo Tao.

At this moment, both of them walked towards each other quickly with smiles and tears.

Their eyes met, and their hands were clasped together tightly.

One is old and shabby, but the other is like a flower.

The actual age difference between the two is only two years, and now they are almost two generations standing together.

This is the situation the two people are in now.

"Taozi, it's really you... I really didn't expect it." As he said this, his tears couldn't stop and he started sobbing.

"It's me, ten years ago." Luo Tao was a little emotional when he saw the person he wanted to see.

Uncle Ershun is gone and Minyi is getting old. At this moment, he really doesn't know what to say.

Minyi saw the way Luo Tao was dressed and the people and cars behind him, and he knew in his heart that Luo Tao was now getting ahead.

He doesn't have as many thoughts as Shen Qingchun, he just purely hopes that Luo Tao can live a good life.

Wiping tears, nodded and smiled.

"Yes, it's been ten years since you returned to the city in 76."
