Ye Song was startled when he heard someone talking. He hurriedly hid the roast chicken behind his back and looked at Zhao Shitou with an uneasy expression.
Zhao Shichu was very calm. She asked, "Uncle Shitou, why did you come up the mountain?"
Only then did Zhao Shitou remember the purpose of coming up the mountain. He swallowed the saliva that involuntarily oozed from his mouth, and with difficulty moved his eyes away from the roast chicken in Zhao Shichu's hand. He said to Ye Song, "Old man Ye, I came here specially to find you." Yes, your son is here to take you back to the city! He came in a small car, so impressive..."
Ye Song was shocked, his eyes widened in an instant, and he said in disbelief: "What did you say? My son is here?"
"Yes, that's your son. His name is Ye Shiye..." Zhao Shitou frowned and tried to remember Ye Song's son's name.
"Ye Huaiye! My son's name is Ye Huaiye!" Ye Song blurted out, his eyes suddenly turned red. He even forgot to eat the roast chicken in his hand. He stood up and walked quickly to Zhao Shitou, as if As if he was afraid that he was dreaming, he asked cautiously and hopefully, "Is it true that my son is here?"
"It's true! The village party secretary asked me to tell you to come down the mountain quickly. Your son has been waiting at your place. You can come down the mountain with me now..." Zhao Shitou replied affirmatively.
Ye Song immediately couldn't care about anything else. He was in a hurry to see his son and had no appetite. He stuffed the remaining roast chicken into Zhao Shitou's hand and said to Zhao Shichu: "I'll go down the mountain and have a look." ..." Then he couldn't wait to go down.
Zhao Shichu hurriedly finished the roast chicken in his hand, threw away the bones, and followed Ye Song down the mountain.
Zhao Shitou happily ate the roast chicken that Ye Song gave him and followed him away.
Probably people are in high spirits during happy events. Ye Song was anxious to see his son, so he was full of energy when he came down the mountain. His legs and feet moved very fast, and the time to go back home was shortened by more than half than usual. Zhao Shichu could still keep up, but Zhao Shitou had long been angry. Out of breath.
Soon, the three of them walked down the mountain to the dilapidated cowshed. After walking for a while, the three of them saw that the door of the dilapidated cowshed was crowded with people, and standing in the front was a young man with a tall figure and a cold temperament. man.
As soon as Ye Song saw the young man, he choked up and said, "Ye Huaiye!"
At this shout, Zhao Shichu saw the man tremble all over, suddenly raised his head and looked forward, and then strode towards Ye Song. Before he reached the person, he had already stretched out his hand to hold Ye Song's arm, and whispered He shouted: "Father!"
"You are such a boy..." Ye Song's eyes were red, and he looked around his son excitedly, "You have grown taller... Father almost doesn't remember what you look like..."
But just after he said this, he suddenly remembered that his current situation was not good and might harm his son, so he immediately ignored his excitement and asked Ye Huaiye anxiously and worriedly: "Why did you come to me suddenly? And you are so grand. ? What if my affairs affect you? No, you should leave quickly..."
Ye Huaiye quickly comforted him and said: "Father, don't worry, you won't affect me anymore. Now that you have restored your identity and reputation, you have obtained the approval from the superiors, and you can go home openly. I am here to take you back." Yes, you have worked hard these years..."
When Ye Song heard Ye Huaiye's words, it was like a burst of thunder hitting his chest, which made him almost unable to think. His brain had stopped spinning. He obviously knew every word in Ye Huaiye's words, but the meaning behind it was It took him several minutes to understand the meaning.
When he realized what he meant, he was so shocked that the arm holding Ye Huaiye trembled slightly. He asked in disbelief: "Son, are you telling the truth? Can I really restore my identity and reputation?" , can you go home?"
"Really, otherwise how could I dare to come to you so openly, father, everything is over..." Ye Huaiye replied with a firm tone.
Ye Song burst into tears.
Because there were some things that were difficult to talk about in front of everyone, Ye Song asked the spectators to leave, leaving only the father and son. Ye Huaiye told his old father everything about the situation in the city and his experiences over the years, and Ye Song He also told Ye Huaiye everything he had suffered in the past few years. He did not hide the suffering he had suffered, nor did he forget Zhao Shichu's life-saving grace and daily assistance to him.
"Without that little girl from the Zhao family, when you come back to the village, what you see is not the living me, but my bones. I have no nostalgia for this village, but I just don't repay that girl, and I feel guilty. "Yesong sighed, "It's easy to add flowers to a cake, but it's difficult to give someone a helping hand when the time is right. That girl is really a great favor to me."
Ye Huaiye nodded: "Since she helped you, let's repay her well. What does she want? Money? I do have the salary of the past few years. In addition to leaving some living expenses for our father and son, I can give her everything .”
"What? You want to end her kindness to me with a little dirty money? Is my life so worthless?" Ye Song felt dissatisfied with his son's repeated words of using money to repay kindness and said unhappily.
Ye Huaiye said helplessly: "If you don't need money to repay her, what's the use? Find her a job in the city? It's not impossible, but the jobs in the city are just a carrot and a pit. It's better to find a job that's not too bad." It’s difficult, I need more time.”
Ye Song rolled his eyes and said, "There's no need to work. That girl is smart. This time the college entrance examination is resumed, she and her elder brother took it together. Their results should be good. 80% of them can be admitted to university. After graduating from university, Of course there are good jobs waiting for you, so where can you find them?"
"Then how should we repay you?" Ye Huaiye spread his hands and asked.
Ye Song choked and scratched his gray hair. He couldn't think of anything. In the end, he could only say: "How about giving some money as a reward first? If she is admitted to university, she will also have to pay for living expenses... I don't know about her. Can the eldest brother pass the exam? If he does, we will provide the living expenses of the two siblings. If her eldest brother fails the exam, then we will provide her eldest brother with a job opportunity..."
"Okay." Ye Huaiye agreed.
So the father and son discussed it and went to Zhao's house to find Zhao Shichu.
Zhao Shichu looked at the stack of banknotes and various bills handed to him by the cold and handsome young man in front of him. He was speechless and said, "You gave me all the money and bills. How can you and your son support me after you return home?" Live yourself?"
Ye Song immediately said: "I can make a living! I can make a living! Huaiye said, I will make up for the salary after I go back, which is enough for the two of us to live on. Just accept the money and regard it as a reward for saving my life before." , and the kindness of helping me with food from time to time. This amount of money is not enough. When you go to college in the capital, I can help you..."
