Best Son-in-law

Memory is like a shell on the seashore. When you pick one up, it is a piece of wonderful things. Each piece of shell has different wonderful things written on it.

Sweet, sour, spicy, salty, all five flavors.

Scenes of memories are funny when I tell them, and I felt stupid at the time, but I also want to desperately go back to the past and return to those carefree years.

Li Fan and Liu Kunyang each took a sip of old wine, and tears came out of their eyes. In fact, they were not all spicy, some of them were tears shed for the past.

For that memory that will last a lifetime and remain fresh in my memory.

The memory of that period seems to be separated by a century. I can't even remember what happened in the Year of the Monkey, and I can't even mention the name of the person.

"Fanzi, you were very hateful when you were a kid. You got under Zhao Xiaolan's newly bought floral skirt and went to hunt for treasures. What do you think you were looking for?" Liu Yangkun was already half drunk and looked a little dizzy. Dizzy.

"I don't know what I was looking for. Wasn't it playing hide and seek? I just thought that Sister Xiaolan's skirt was too big and she wouldn't play around. If I hid it under her skirt, no one would notice or suspect it. What treasure? Did you remember it wrong?" Li Fan also began to recall the past.

"Come on, your kid wasn't honest at all when he was a kid. He was full of tricks. Back then, you went to steal someone's little girl with two pigtails. What did you call her? Her face was a bit dark, and she played quite wildly." Liu Yangkun Touching his head, he couldn't remember the name of the person he wanted to say.

At this time, Li Fan couldn't remember: "Their family has moved away long ago. I only remember their last name is Chen, but I forgot the others."

"It's this little girl surnamed Chen. You insisted on using the little red shoes I bought as a boat. You were so good at it that you slipped them down the ditch behind our Laoshan Lake. The results sunk in. I remember your kid’s expression was very funny at that time. His eyes were wide open, like those of a donkey. No matter how old he was, he was watching people take off Xiaohong’s shoes. I said you must have been there at that time. Thinking about it, this nice little boat went down as soon as I said it, you were so happy at that time." Liu Yangkun burst into laughter when he said it, and tears of laughter came out.

As an old man like Li Fan, he felt ashamed even mentioning his childhood. The old man blushed and waved his hand: "Don't mention it. I didn't understand anything when I was a child, and what I did was embarrassing."

"No, I have to talk about it. It was such a fun thing to do when I was a kid. I did those things a lot when I was a kid. I was born earlier than you all and am older than you all. I was thirteen or fourteen years old at the time. No one could follow the older kids. I played, but people thought I was too young, so let me play with you. I was also unbalanced at the time. You are a bunch of little brats who don’t know anything. You have never played hopscotch. I have to carry everything. You must not exhaust me to death. Ah, at that time, Zhao Xiaolan was not willing to play with others, so she just liked to watch from the side. This little girl Zhao Xiaolan was also very strange. From time to time, she would rush out from nowhere and step on people's shoes, and then throw them away to play. I was confused at the time. I just liked to play this shoe throwing thing. Zhao Xiaolan and I were throwing the shoes back and forth. You threw it to me and I threw it to you. Then some of you would cry. If you cry, we will be there. That's fun, how interesting it is." Liu Yangkun laughed with tears streaming down his face.

"Brother Yang Kun, you have the nerve to mention this matter. Not to mention that we grew up together and hate you and Zhao Xiaolan. They all say that you are working together and that neither of you is a good person." Li Fan said helplessly.

After hearing this, Liu Yangkun laughed even harder and almost stopped laughing: "I remember that your shoes were thrown several times at that time. Finally, you found a rope to put on your legs, and there were also ropes that followed you around. That idiot, who is usually so stupid that someone wants to bully him, is the one you protect, I forgot his name."

"Goofy." Li Fan said, his face darkening.

"Yes, that's him. He is dull and can't play anything. Let's play a game. Everyone who is on his team always dislikes him and is not willing to team up with him. It is a total hindrance. You are the only one who is willing to sum up. He was on the same team. At that time, this tall idiot was really disliked by everyone, so some people said that this tall idiot was on his own team and basically lost the game, but when he was on the opposite side, he won. Many people said that he was an undercover agent. Do you think it's interesting? This tall idiot is usually unwilling to say anything, so it's even more annoying. He just stands there blankly by himself. He can't do this or that. He lowers his head. Before I thought this person was quite hateful, but now I find it really interesting, hahaha." As Liu Yangkun spoke, he burst into tears again with laughter.

But he didn't notice that Li Fan's expression became darker and darker.

"He went to prison, both legs were amputated, and his life is over." Li Fan clenched his fists, and after Liu Yangkun finished laughing, he said something coldly.

After hearing this, Liu Yangkun's smile suddenly froze, and he quickly asked: "What's wrong?"

Li Fan shook his head, took a sip of wine, and told Liu Yangkun everything.

Li Fan told everything from when Gao Duzi came back, to when he and Wang Youcai conspired to harm his crops, to when he had his legs amputated and went to the hospital.

The veins on Liu Yangkun's forehead popped out when he heard this: "This tall idiot is not a thing anymore, is he? You were so kind to him when you were a child. Who can't see that? You treat him as your own brother. Then if you have a bowl of meat, share half the bowl with this kid. That year, I remember you got a chicken leg from nowhere, and you just peeled off the skin. The chicken leg meat was given to the idiot, and the idiot didn't like it. Chicken skin, you ate all the chicken skin, and when it was over, you said you liked chicken skin and didn’t like chicken legs. No one could see it. You ate the chicken skin and bit your fingers for a long time."

"This kid is so not a personal thing. When did you lose him? What's wrong with him? Even if he doesn't remember his past kindness, he can't treat you as an enemy, right? This kid deserves it." Li Fan said Said that made Liu Yangkun so angry that he almost jumped out of his chair.

"Okay, Brother Yang Kun, stop talking, drink and drink. The people and things in the past were the best before. After this, there is no way to mention it. Let's just be more stupid. He is not here now." He lost his leg and went to prison. He doesn’t know when he will be released. He is considered useless and there is no point in scolding him. He just remembers what happened back then. Okay, just remember what happened back then. I can’t say what will happen in the future. There's nothing we can do, there's nothing we can do." Li Fan's face was filled with helplessness.

Several people who played together when they were young, some went to the city, some got married, some went to neighboring villages and towns, some became house sons-in-law, and some still stayed in the village. Everything was completely different, and Li Fan couldn't say it was right. Whether it's wrong or not, it's just a face full of vicissitudes and helplessness.

They are all forced to make a living, and even a penny is hard for heroes, let alone mortals like them?

But what really made Li Fan feel cold was that he never imagined that Gao Duzi would have such deep hatred for him. He couldn't even imagine it, let alone that Gao Duzi would become like that.

These are things that Li Fan never dreamed of.

Li Fan's heart dropped when he mentioned Gao Duzi.

The most invisible thing in this world is actually the human heart.

You wholeheartedly help him, wholeheartedly do his best, and don’t want to do anything else. You just hope that he will be really good in the future, and that he will also appreciate your good. From time to time, the two of you will get together to have a drink, talk about the past, and have fun. Once happy, this life will pass happily.

I can't even draw this picture.

Li Fan's heart was completely dead and cold for a while.

Even what he dreamed about at night was Gao DaZi apologizing to him. The two talked about the past, hugged each other and cried. In the end, Li Fan brought out good wine and food, and drank with him from day to night, until he was completely drunk.

But when I woke up and thought about reality, I was covered in cold sweat.

There happened to be a cool breeze blowing outside the door. The wind was not strong, but it blew into Li Fan's heart one after another, making Li Fan's heart feel chilly.

Very uncomfortable.

That night, Li Fan didn't sleep. He moved a stool in the yard of his home and watched the dawn, waiting for it to come up.

There was no way to describe how it felt, I was really hurt.

After hearing this, Liu Yangkun nodded silently, his eyes dimmed for a while, and he almost cried again, but he suppressed the tears from falling.

He also felt uncomfortable. Even if they used to play together, the relationship was not that deep and the relationship had faded over the years, but when he heard the other party's fate, he felt heartache in his heart. What's more, he thought about how regretful he was now. .

"Oh, brother, I really want to go back to the past. When I was thirteen or fourteen years old, I would lead your five-six-year-old and seven-eight-year-old children together, touch the turtles in the water, pick up shells by the lake, muddy We caught loaches in the ditch, went up the mountain to look for tigers, hopscotch, threw shuttlecocks, kicked rubber balls, and smashed sandbags. After we were tired from playing in the evening, we went home for a meal together. It was very lively. At that time, several families gathered together to eat, and your pancakes , my family cooks, and his family picks vegetables, how lively it is, we help each other if there is any trouble, we often visit each other, you visit my family, I visit yours, life was so smooth in those days, now it is like this It’s such a miserable life, so sad.” Liu Yangkun said with true feelings.

"At that time, no matter what time, there were a group of friends around me, and you would come and go and fight with each other. Now no matter what time, I am alone, smoking this cigarette from night to dawn, day by day, day by day. I can’t even remember it, anyway, it’s the same every day, and there’s nothing to pursue.”

After hearing this, Li Fan felt a burst of emotion in his heart and patted Liu Yangkun on the shoulder: "Brother Yangkun, if you ever get bored, come to my place for a drink. Now that I have two dollars in my hand, I will definitely treat you to it. Drink good wine, eat good food, and let's be happy together."

Liu Yangkun lowered his head after listening to these words, with runny nose and tears streaming down his face. He quickly went to wash himself and smiled: "Brother, your words are enough. Really, I am an outsider in Qingquan Village and I can't integrate in." No matter how many years I go to this village, I will never be able to integrate in. I want to go back, but there is no other way. I am not afraid of your ridicule, brother. Now that you have seen our family status, I am just a door-to-door son-in-law, asking for help in the house. It depends on my wife’s face. When I go out, I have to look at my mother-in-law and my father-in-law’s face. I even let my parents scold me. Look at what a coward I’ve become. I don’t think I’m a coward every day.”
