"Look at how proud you are, Xiaoyu. You don't have to compete with your dad in farming and harvesting wheat. One day, you can compete with him in writing articles to see if he is a loser." An Jie, who was sitting on a chair on the edge of the field, curled his lips and said.
"You old woman, why are you always trying to tear me down? Now that we are in the fields, we naturally have to do more farming." Jiang Defu glared at An Jie and said dissatisfied.
"Dad, brother, Wei Min, please stop being busy and let's eat~" At this time, Jiang Yafei and Song Yunping were walking towards them with bamboo baskets in their hands. The two women were wearing headscarves, and they really looked like rural field women.
"The food after work is especially delicious!" Jiang Defu finished the rice in the bowl in a few mouthfuls, and Song Yunping hurriedly poured him a cup of tea.
"You've really returned to your true nature." An Jie shook his head, speechless.
"I have not forgotten my roots. Didn't you say before that I don't look like a simple farmer brother? How about it? Is that wrong? It would be even more beautiful if there was a little wine." Jiang Defu was proud of An Jie first. He smiled, then looked at the half-harvested field and said with a smile.
"Dad, what do you think this is?" Jiang Yafei smiled and took out a bottle of Moutai from behind.
"Okay! Haha, pour it on, give me a drink." Jiang Defu was delighted and waved to Yafei.
"Mom, is that okay?" Jiang Yafei turned her head and looked at Anjie, smiling along with her.
"Let him go, it's rare that your dad is in such a good mood." An Jie shook his head and smiled.
"It's such a good day," Jiang Defu suddenly felt a little emotional. He filled another glass of wine, stood up, and looked at the harvest wheat fields in his hometown.
"When Brother Gu came back to recruit soldiers, I asked him why he wanted to be a soldier and why he wanted to be a member of the Eighth Route Army. He described to me a life like this, where the old had someone to rely on, the strong had something to use, the young had something to support, and every household had clothes and clothes. , we have steamed buns and meat to eat, no one will exploit and oppress us anymore, and no country will dare to bully us anymore! Brother Gu said, if we want to live such a life, we have to fight with our lives and exchange it with blood. Sacrifice is indispensable. , he asked me if I was afraid. I still remember that I said at the time that I was more afraid of hunger than death." Although Jiang Defu was smiling, his eyes were already moist. In his sixties, when he recalled his life, he felt so much emotion.
"In this way, we fought from Japan to the reactionaries and then to the American imperialists. Respect your eldest brother and all the comrades who sacrificed their lives, and respect the present day!" Jiang Defu spilled the wine in the field, laughed twice, picked up the sickle and went to the ground again, Jiang Defu's There were no gorgeous words in his words, but Gu Yu could still feel the bravery and fearlessness, and the courage to go forward one after another.
"Let's go and share the joy of the harvest with dad." Gu Yu also picked up the sickle and looked at Yafei Weimin, smiling.
"I'm afraid that in addition to harvesting, he also wants to dry and crush it." Yafei adjusted his mood and joked again.
"What can we do if that's the case? Just stay with your dad." Anjie, who was putting away the dishes and cups, rolled his eyes at her.
However, Yafei's worries were obviously misplaced. Jiang Defu was old after all. He was full of energy on the first day, mainly because of the mental buff. However, he had some backache when he returned that night. Gu Yu quickly found a massage master. After physical therapy, hot compresses, smoke, and a bath, there was no discomfort the next day. However, Jiang Defu didn't say anything about continuing to work in the fields. Shixia Village is not only Jiang Defu's hometown, but also the hometown of Gu Yu's biological father. Gu Yu thought about it, contacted Huatang Pharmaceutical and the local government, and donated two tractors and a harvester to the village committee, as well as 50,000 yuan for road construction, village library and leisure activity room. The construction of Shixia Village has provided a rich spiritual life in advance.
Now the villagers became more enthusiastic about Jiang Defu and his party, and they also had a preliminary understanding of Gu Yu's financial resources and connections. Jiang Changyi's problem was also determined. After investigation and evidence collection by the security department of the cement plant and the county police, and the testimony of local people and colleagues, Jiang Changyi did commit fraud and embezzled state property in the name of Jiang Defu, and he was sentenced to twenty years. Jiang Defu was in his hometown, so he naturally heard about it, but what he knew was not the official version, but what was circulated in the village. The rumors in the world all said that Jiang Changyi brought the blame on himself, and that he had no connection with Gu Yu. An Jie later told Gu Yu that Jiang Defu was angry at first, slammed the table, and then sighed and never mentioned it again. arrive.
Gu Yu stayed with Jiang Defu in his hometown for five days and prepared to go to Quancheng. On that day, the villagers in the village had tears in their eyes and were reluctant to leave. However, after seeing you for thousands of miles, you must say goodbye eventually.
"Mom, look, that's Zhang Guilan." Jiang Yafei pointed out the car window and whispered in An Jie's ear. An Jie followed the direction of her daughter's finger and looked toward a high slope in the village. He saw a thin figure with gray hair. , a wrinkled rural woman stood in front of a private house and looked at the lively crowd at the entrance of the village.
"Your dad will get in the car when we get back, so don't talk too much." Anjie patted Yafei and glared at her.
"I'm not stupid, why bring up Dad's sad things." Yafei curled his lips and said unconvinced.
"You are not stupid, but you are quick to talk." After dealing with the enthusiastic villagers, Gu Yu finally got into the driver's seat. Although he didn't listen to everything, he could still make a general guess. Anyway, he followed An Jie to criticize Ya Fei, and felt in his heart Also comfortable.
"Why are you attacking me alone? Really, I kindly remind you that I was wrong to satisfy your curiosity. Sister-in-law, I still eat apples~" Jiang Yafei snorted, a little short-tempered, and quickly lay down again The co-pilot said to Song Yunping with a smile.
Anjie ignored his daughter, who was an actress, and looked out the car window again.
"What are you looking at? Do you think my hometown is quite nice and you can't bear to leave it?" Jiang Defu shook hands with all the elderly people in the village, said goodbye and finally got in the car.
"Don't you want to look again? You can't tell when you'll come back next time?" An Jie said calmly.
"I stopped watching. I'm satisfied. It doesn't matter if I can't come back." Jiang Defu smiled.
"I'm going to tell Brother Gu about the changes in our hometown, have a drink with him, and have a good chat." Gu Yu immediately started the car, waved goodbye to the young and old in the village, and drove towards Quancheng.
"Xiaoyu, is there free Maotai on this flight?" Gu Yu's family is waiting at the airport. Jiang Defu carefully looked at the current civil aircraft with his hands behind his back, nodded happily, and then asked Gu Yu who was standing aside,
"What? After I went back to my hometown, the idea of small peasantism has become stronger again?" Anjie started to feel weird again.
"I'm asking this for his uncle. Am I short of wine?" Jiang Defu rolled his eyes at An Jie.
"Yes, we are taking a civil aviation flight. We have this service, as well as Western steak, coffee and chocolate." Gu Yu replied with a smile.
"Dad, didn't you tell us that you had been on a plane before and had eaten on the plane?" Jiang Yafei remembered something.
"It was converted from a transport aircraft. This is the first time for a civil aviation aircraft." Jiang Defu said with a smile, and looked at the civil aircraft outside the hall through the glass, a little impatient to board the plane.
