Jiaojiu Nuanyang

Chapter 21

This trip was originally Wang Yue's work.

Chen Jingdong listened to Wang Yue's complaints in the office, saying that this Friday he had finally asked the goddess to have dinner with him, and that this trip to Q city for a business trip would definitely fail.

With a thought, thinking that City Q and City R are less than [-] kilometers away, Chen Jingdong took the initiative to ask for a job and took on the business trip.

Wang Yue hugged Chen Jingdong happily and patted Chen Jingdong on the shoulder.It's very interesting, buddy, I will return to Haidilao to thank you.

On Thursday afternoon, I took the high-speed train from City A and arrived in City Q in more than five hours.On Friday morning, I went to the [-] Military Factory to do business. I politely declined the warm reception from the factory manager at noon, picked up my bag and went to the long-distance bus station.

Nearly four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Jingdong stood at the gate of Fang Kun's school.The address of this school was spotted by Zheng Shunshun when he showed him the demerit note.

No. [-] Middle School in R City.

After asking the gate guard at the school gate, and hearing and guessing in the uncle's strong Jiaodong accent, Chen Jingdong knew that they finished school at 04:30 in the second year of junior high school.So he squatted down on the sidewalk by the gate, smoking a cigarette patiently and waiting for school to end.

Behind Chen Jingdong is a very narrow stone flower bed, in which light yellow winter jasmine flowers are blooming in full bloom, full of bright colors, spreading out the spirit of spring.

There were more and more parents at the door, Chen Jingdong pinched his cigarette, got up and stood aside.

He is tall and temperamental, and his age is obviously not at the level of old fathers and mothers. He is particularly eye-catching among the parents of middle-aged women sweeping the world.Someone looked at him in a daze, the simple and straightforward ones didn't know how to hide it.

Waiting for this kind of thing, Chen Jingdong used to be the best at it in his several years of sniper career.

It's just different now.There was a little anxiety and expectation in the man's heart.

The bell rang for the end of get out of class, and more and more half-grown children ran out of the school gate one after another, carrying heavy schoolbags, some of which were simply trolley cases.

Chen Jingdong couldn't help but turned into an attitude of looking forward to it. His proud eyesight quickly scanned the gate, not missing a single one.

It took about 20 minutes before and after school to go from fewer people to more people and then to fewer people.Chen Jingdong didn't see Fang Kun coming out.

Detained?Student on duty?

Chen Jingdong didn't dare to think about it anymore, because if he thought about it again, he would have no good ideas or reasons.

The uncle doorman was quite impressed with him, and he came over with a simple and honest smile and asked, "Did you pick up the baby?"

"Maybe doing homework at school." Chen Jingdong handed out a cigarette to the guard.

"Which class?" The uncle glanced at the cigarette brand, his eyes narrowed with joy: "Go in and find out, some kids don't come home after school and play basketball on the playground."

"Class [-], Grade [-]." Chen Jingdong thought about it for a while, without any hope: "Fang Kun."

"Fang Kun?" The uncle put the cigarette on his left ear cherishingly: "I recognize that boy. He is very naughty. He was sent back by the teacher every three days for a review. He was driven home yesterday, and he didn't come to school today. I guess Good for Monday."

Chen Jingdong was taken aback and stuttered: "What? Are you sent home for self-criticism? No class?"

The doorman uncle is also very talkative and warm-hearted: "The head teacher, Mr. Qu, is notoriously strict in our school, the dean of education. Fang Kun's kid is transferred from another school, right? I don't know what's going on, and it didn't take long. Time, as far as I know, Pi Xiaozi has been kicked back three times, saying that he has a serious review, and he will come back to class after passing the review. I counted the longest time, the kid was kicked home on Monday, and I didn’t have it in a week Watch."

"Now that the country has nine-year compulsory education, how can you still treat students like this?" Chen Jingdong couldn't tell whether it was anger or what kind of emotion, he was in a bad mood: "Children are very playful, and teachers still need to educate and help. What about sending the child home? This junior high school has a heavy learning task..."

"Oh," the guard uncle shook his head, looked around, and said in a low voice, "It's not that Mrs. Qu is over 40, and they all said she has reached menopause. I didn't even ask, young man, who are you, that kid Fang Kun? If it's a relative, go back and persuade his father to buy something for Mr. Qu as a gift. How can you be stubborn and do it when the child is in his hands? I think that child is also smart, if this continues, how can he still study?"

Chen Jingdong stuffed a bag of soft China to the guard, and when he turned to leave, a nameless fire was burning all over his body from inside to outside, and it was almost going to blow him up.

Fang Kun was in City A, Chen Jingdong put so much thought into it, he wished he could hold it in his hand so that he could climb higher and see farther.

That's good, I just got back on the right road, and when I returned to City R, I came across such a thing!

Chen Jingdong gritted his teeth with hatred.For a moment, Fang Wei swore firmly - he is my son, how can I harm him?

After a while, the doorman shook his head helplessly—the head teacher didn't want you to have a good time, but can you still have it?If this continues, you will drop out of school.

Reaching out and unbuttoning the top button of his shirt, Chen Jingdong breathed hard in the still somewhat cold air of City R, feeling that his breath was not enough, and his chest was tight.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed Fang Kun's number, but before he connected, he changed his mind and called Fang Li instead.

Fang Li answered quickly: "Hello, Jingdong."

"Fang Li," Chen Jingdong took a deep breath, suppressing the violent negative emotions in his emotions: "I'm on a business trip, passing by City R, and want to visit Xiaokun. Please send me your brother's address."

"Okay." Fang Li doubted him: "I'll send you a text message right away, and I'll also tell you my brother's phone number."

............................................................

It was Fang Wei who came to open the door.

The man's face was full of sleepiness, as if he had just woken up not long ago, he stared blankly at Chen Jingdong outside the door, and after a while he was overwhelmed with enthusiasm: "Who am I, a rare visitor! Please come in! "

Chen Jingdong carried the milk and apples that he bought at the gate of the community, and said politely, "I'm on a business trip, so I stopped by to see you."

"Look, come here as soon as you come, what else do you want to buy!" Fang Wei put on a black T-shirt, and the cuffs were blown.The man shouted into the room: "Daughter-in-law, there are guests!"

Entering the door is a dark hall with no windows. Children’s toys are scattered everywhere on the floor tiles. There is a square table next to the wall, and there are teacups and dishes piled on it. It is a mess, and the air smells like powdered milk. And the smell of diapers.

Chen Jingdong glanced around calmly, without showing any expression on his face.

A woman hurried out from the back room, her hair tied with a hair tie as she walked.Tall, strong, looks not too old, but looks a bit fierce, not very kind.

"Fang Kun isn't at home?" Chen Jingdong didn't know how to be polite.From Fang Wei opening the door to the woman coming out, there was so much movement, if Fang Kun was at home, it was impossible not to come out.

"Xiao Kun," Fang Wei explained with a little embarrassment: "I was working at the port last night on the night shift, and I went to bed when I came back in the morning. Daughter-in-law, what did Xiao Kun do?"

"Maybe I went to play with my classmates." The woman was not too sure: "Shall I call him?"

"Okay, hurry up and call him, just tell him that Uncle Chen came to see him, and get out of here quickly." Fang Wei waved his hand, and then warmly greeted Chen Jingdong: "Sit down, look at the mess at home, and I haven't had time to clean it up. There is a small one that is too skinny, so don’t worry about the big one. Hey Dongzi, you are welcome, what are you doing standing there, sit down! Let me have two drinks later, and have a good meal at home."

The woman came out quickly after making a phone call, followed by a curious little boy, about three or four years old, hugging the woman's thigh, holding on like a plaster.

"I called, but Xiao Kun didn't answer."

"Hey, this kid was born to collect debts!" ​​Probably feeling ashamed, Fang Wei scolded: "Let's ignore him Dongzi. It's not easy for you to come all the way. Wife, go buy some seafood for a few days." A dish, and put 'Gu Li Xiang' to buy a roast chicken."

"I want to eat roast duck." The little boy answered abruptly, stubbornly: "Eat roast duck."

"Okay, eat roast duck." The woman bent down to pick up the child, and smiled at Chen Jingdong: "Sit down and chat for a while. Fang Wei, there is good tea from my sister last time in the drawer. Make tea for the guests."

"That's right, look at my memory!" Fang Wei went to the kitchen to wash teacups.

Chen Jingdong was left alone in the messy living room for a short time.

This is Fang Kun's current living environment?His father, his stepmother, his younger brother.

Chen Jingdong couldn't sit still, he stood up casually, and walked a few steps in the living room.Facing him, there are two doors, one is open, it is the room where the woman brought her son out just now, the inside is as chaotic as the living room, the effect of a typhoon above level [-] passing through.One is closed, and the faded blessing is pasted on the door.On the wall about a foot wide between the two doors, there is a wall clock on the top, and a family photo below the wall clock——

A family portrait of three people.Fang Wei, his current wife, and their son.

In the photo, the three of them are all smiling happily and harmoniously, seeing the sun but not the haze.

"Dongzi, that's Xiaokun's room, go in and have a look." Fang Wei came out holding a teacup with wet hands.

"Is it convenient to go in?" Chen Jingdong used to be in City A, even if he entered Fang Kun's room, he always knocked on the door first.This is his family rule. Under the influence of Chen's mother since childhood, no matter adults or children, before entering other people's space, they must first obtain the owner's permission. This is a basic quality.

Fang Weiwei grinned, without that kind of consciousness at all: "If there is any inconvenience, you can look at it casually. That kid has a bad problem. Last time I went in and didn't knock on the door, he was impatient with me. Let me cut it off. I will give it to you immediately." Zhi is honest. Let me tell you, Dongzi, this boy has to be raised roughly, and if he doesn't obey, he will be beaten..."

Chen Jingdong didn't listen to what was said later.

Inside the opened door was a small room.

A bed, a desk, and the other half of the space was piled up with a lot of sundries by the hostess of the house.There are children's walkers, plastic rocking horses, and several layers of shoe boxes underneath.

The 1.2-meter single bed is very tidy, the quilt is folded squarely, and the sheets are stretched evenly.So looking at it this way, the old, starched sheets are not so obtrusive, and there is even a hole near the end of the bed, which seems to be justified.

The books on the desk are also neat, to be exact, a bit too neat.It is the effect of a showcase, and there is no sign that the owner has tampered with it.

"You're still good, Dongzi." Fang Wei stood behind him at some point: "I heard from Fang Kun that he learned how to fold quilts from you? Haha, the folds are quite decent, although they don't have the tofu like your army The effect of the block is also quite good.”

Yes, Fang Kun learned how to fold quilts from him.Chen Jingdong found that his worthless eye sockets were getting hot.

When he first moved to live with him, Chen Jingdong discovered that the child had a "bad habit" of not liking to make quilts.

Thinking that junior high school students have heavy studies, especially my own, and they have to study hard to catch up with the class, so Chen Jingdong helped to do it twice.

Then one weekend, Fang Kun enthusiastically said that he would learn "housekeeping" from him.The child is very serious with a straight eye.

Since then, Fang Kun has started to fold the quilt by himself.There were even two times when Chen Jingdong was making breakfast, and he went to fold Chen Jingdong's quilt by himself, and he was complacent and begged for praise after folding. How about it, is it a standard tofu block?

There was a sound of the door from the living room outside, and a woman's loud voice came in.

"Xiaokun called me back, and I'll be back after a while. I'll cook, Fang Wei, take your son with you."
