Chapter 49

Seeing Wu Chengqi was unhappy during dinner at night, the clerk brought up the matter: "By the way, brother Lin, you are only 25 or [-] years old this year, right? It meets the requirements of others. Why don't you go?"

"I really want to go, and people have to ask me to do it." Lin Zhanyu picked up a chopstick and said, "I haven't been to school for a few days, and I'm not even as good as a student. What kind of educated youth are you? Why don't you stay here?" Here, I can still write about new activities and scold the little devil, and do some practical things."

"Uncle Lin, how can you not be as good as me?" Wei Xueyi was puzzled: "I see that you are so good, and you are almost able to speak well."

"You only know a few idioms, so you just use them indiscriminately here." Wei Qingyun sneered: "Eat well."

But Lin Zhanyu was not talking nonsense. In many aspects, he was indeed inferior to Wei Xueyi, who was only seven or eight years old, such as arithmetic.

The child is exceptionally smart, but he has never been interested in rhetoric in articles, but he just likes to find weird topics everywhere to amuse himself.

Once he really couldn't figure it out, so he took the book to Lin Zhanyu and asked Lin Zhanyu, who naturally didn't know anything about it. From then on, he didn't want to look at the children's homework and pushed all of them to Wei Qingyun.

"What Brother Lin said is true. It's been several years since you two came here. How can people in Lujiang County not recognize you?" The man smiled and said, "In the past two years, people from outside have come here on purpose just to listen to you." You two are cursing around the bush. The business of restaurants has improved a lot."

"It's nothing particularly important." Wei Qingyun waved his hand: "The people they listen to relieve their anger, and we, as the ones who talk about it, shouldn't we? It's enough to inspire some people's hearts and help Xiao Qiao and the others gone."

"You're honest," said the man.

"Don't dare to do it." Wei Qingyun replied.

"No matter what, it's good if someone is willing to listen." Lin Zhanyu seemed to be speaking to the people at the table, but his eyes kept looking at him, Senior Brother Wei: "Whenever we can be like those famous actors It would be even better if it was recorded and played on the radio.”

"It's good to have something to eat." Wei Qingyun's eyes were full of helplessness: "It's so hard to make progress."

"Where is it? I have already thought about it. In the future, I will recruit more apprentices, publish more books, and ask someone to help record it." Lin Zhanyu retorted, but his tone was not tough at all, as if relatives were discussing things in whispers , say something personal.

Strange to say, Lin Zhanyu found that he liked Wei Qingyun very much and lost his temper with him from time to time.After thinking about it, he realized that it was precisely because he preferred to see the other party defenseless against him.

For example, at this moment, after removing his gentle and dignified appearance, Senior Brother Wei has turned into a sarcastic talker.

"How old are you, and you still say things like this. Is it something you can do if you want? It's not good. If you have the time to think about it, you might as well think about a new job." Wei Qingyun put down his chopsticks after eating and drinking, got up and pinched He touched the back of Lin Zhanyu's neck, then walked away, leaving only one sentence:

"If you're exhausted, it's useless to keep you here, so let's go to the front with your brother Xiao Qiao."

"Brother Lin, your senior brother is out of touch with you. You don't have to take it seriously." The shopkeeper thought that Lin Zhanyu would be hit by these words, so he hurriedly comforted him: "When will it be peaceful? , if you want to do something, I will not be stingy if I can help."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Wu, for your kindness." Although Lin Zhanyu didn't feel any resentment in his heart, he was sweet on the contrary, but he had to put on a serious face.

He nodded quickly: "I really don't dare to be that." He also put down the bowl and chopsticks: "I'll go to the backyard to see him."

"I'll go too." Wei Xueyi followed his footsteps: "Uncle Lin, even you were scolded so badly by my father."

"What is 'even me'?" Lin Zhanyu was puzzled.

The child shook his head and said nothing, he entered the backyard and said, "I think you are better at making him happy than I am."

"Why do you see that?" Lin Zhanyu's heart skipped a beat, and he still quietly asked what the child meant.

Wei Xueyi didn't know the many twists and turns in the other party's heart, and counted them with his fingers: "He doesn't get angry with others, and he always dislikes people, except me. You are the only one. But two days ago, he just said a few words and you will Laughing and apologizing to him, he actually laughed with you and didn't go on. It's still half a month ago..."

"Okay." Lin Zhanyu's heart finally relaxed. He realized that he was too sensitive and overestimated the child: "You have to trust Uncle Lin, this time you can also coax your father well."

"But why do you always coax him?" Wei Xueyi was puzzled.

"I am willing." Lin Zhanyu smiled.

"Then you go quickly." Wei Xueyi also smiled, and kept pushing Lin Zhanyu forward: "I will go into the house to do my homework later."

"Good boy, wait for me here." Lin Zhanyu turned around and bent down, and patted the child on the shoulder: "Wait well."

In the past year, spring has come, and the victory of the war in the whole world is already in sight, and it is only a matter of time.Not only in China, but also in Europe and the Pacific Ocean.

Wuji Restaurant seems to have passed the most difficult days. The ingredients that can be bought are getting more and more abundant, and the business is getting better day by day accordingly.Shopkeeper Wu and his wife smile every day, and often stand at the door to attract customers.

Wei Qingyun finally seemed a lot more relaxed. This did not refer to life in this world, but to his state of mind.

"Zhanyu, let's not go out to work today." One morning in spring, Wei Qingyun woke up very early.He stood by the window, smiling and looking out of the window at Lin Zhanyu who was washing his face.

"Why?" Lin Zhanyu was used to the busy life of running around every day, so he couldn't help being puzzled when he heard this sentence that was really abnormal for him.

"The spring is beautiful this year. Let's take a walk outside the county seat. There are many beautiful scenery in the suburbs." Wei Qingyun explained: "These years have been busy with survival, and every second counts to make a living, so I rarely have time to have a detailed chat with you."

Lin Zhanyu looked up at him, took a towel and wiped his face: "Okay, I'll go out with you."

Wei Qingyun was right, this year's spring was indeed beautiful.

This day the weather was fine and the breeze was blowing, blowing on people's faces like thin silk and satin, soft and cool, it even reminded Lin Zhanyu of the days when he was an apprentice in Nanjing many years ago.

Or maybe, there are such good days every year in the spring along the Jianghuai area, but they were once covered by the sharp roar of the bombers and could not be seen.

The two walked out for a long time until they reached a small stream in the outskirts.

The clear stream stretches forward. It is rare that there is no rain and the sun is shining.

The sun shines on the stream, reflecting the water light and sparkling.

Wei Qingyun went to the stream and squatted down, stretched out his hands to cover the stream, feeling the gurgling water that never looked back.

Seeing him like this, Lin Zhanyu didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, so he didn't speak, but just stood aside quietly.

"Do you still remember when we lived in Master's house?" After some time, Wei Qingyun suddenly turned around, the sun was shining so hard that he couldn't keep his eyes open: "I remember that one year when Qiao Li and I went out, it was also here Back in season. At that time, I saw you standing at the entrance of the alley waiting for us from a distance."

He stood up and gestured on his chest: "It's only this tall. It's far less sturdy than it is now."

Lin Zhanyu naturally remembered that he was still a young boy at that time, not much better than the kid Wei Xueyi now.

"You told Xiao Qiao earlier that you liked me when you were a teenager." Wei Qingyun looked at him with a gentle expression: "When exactly did it happen? Why didn't I know at all?"

"Don't talk about you, I don't know." Lin Zhanyu pretended to be wronged: "It would be great if I could make it clear. How much trouble will be saved."

Wei Qingyun looked at him for a while, then walked up suddenly, reached out and hugged him gently: "It's my fault."

Lin Zhanyu shook his head: "For me, you are the best person." He said with a smile: "What do you do with those annoying past events?"

"Why is it annoying? It was such a good situation at that time." Wei Qingyun also smiled, but there was a bit of bitterness in the smile: "It's a pity that we couldn't take a photo together back then."

Speaking of these, Lin Zhanyu's smile gradually faded away.After hesitating for a while, he said: "In the future, I want to live in Nanjing." He pursed his lips: "I miss Master."

Brother Wei stared at him for a while, then patted his arm, motioning him to walk forward with him.

"Why don't I miss him?" Wei Qingyun said in a low voice: "He has worked hard for most of his life. He has learned how to sing and sing, making the judges laugh and laugh, but what about him? Was there ever a day when he completely frowned?" Start a happy and comfortable life?"

Lin Zhanyu was getting more and more uncomfortable by what he said.Back then when he was young, he only knew that his master was strict, but now looking back, he realized that it was such a hard-working middle-aged man who sheltered him from the wind and rain.

360 days a year, the wind, the sword, the frost and the sword are pressing against each other.With a humble status as a low-level and low-level person, how did that person find out such a way to make a living and give their disciples a job to live on when no one was looking after him and he was figuring it out all by himself?

Lin Zhanyu didn't know, he just felt that his master was really a strange person, and he was also a kind and good person.

Seeing Wei Qingyun's solemn expression, he could vaguely see what was on his mind.After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked, "Brother, do you miss sister-in-law?"

Wei Qingyun was taken aback by his question.Lin Zhanyu clearly saw the fleeting bewilderment in this man's eyes.

The two walked slowly along the stream.Wei Qingyun was wearing the simplest style of an old dark coat, with a straight back and slightly lowered eyes, reflecting the grass and mountains not far away.

This makes him look elegant but not weak.He has always been strong, but he is more like a shield than a spear that charges into battle, solid and indestructible.

Others carry a sword, but I have a pen like a knife.After many years, it is still a beautiful scenery.

"I think." Wei Qingyun didn't want to lie to him, and finally told the truth: "The Kesi man has passed away, so what's the use of thinking?"

"I miss her too. My sister-in-law is loyal and honest, she is an excellent person." Lin Zhanyu deliberately teased him, and pouted at him: "Much better than you."

Wei Qingyun was teased by him and smiled slightly, even though the smile only lasted for a moment: "Little Ganzi, you said you like me, but I have to tell you the truth, Lu Jiang is my wife and Xueyi's mother-in-law. She is gone, and I will never forget her in my life."

"I know you, but you don't know me. Do you think I'm such an ungrateful, heartless bastard?" Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Zhanyu leaned forward and secretly grabbed the opponent's hand.

He didn't say anything else, but Wei Qingjun understood everything.

Brother Wei thought for a while, and made one of the few promises about the future in his precarious first half of his life:

"When peace comes, I will definitely return to Nanjing with you."
