At noon that day, under the guidance of Li Weizhong and a middle-aged man named Zhou from across the street, the two families gathered five large tables and held a grand banquet for Wei Ran who came to visit.
During the dinner, at the insistence of Mr. Li Wangchuan, Wei Ran once again recounted the experiences of the Li brothers and the old shopkeeper Cangxuzhai during the defense war of Teng County. The photo album was also circulated in the hands of the two families more than once.
.
The guests and hosts enjoyed a meal of local Yanbang dishes, and Wei Ran, who was drunk by the two families, had no choice but to stay.
In the blink of an eye, early the next morning, after the two families discussed it, a dozen cars of various types drove the two families and Wei Ran, who had just barely woken up from a hangover, straight to Chengdu, more than 200 kilometers away.
Just before noon, the motorcade of the two families stopped near the sculpture of the Sichuan Army. A group of forty or fifty people, including Wei Ran, each with a wisp of black gauze tied on their arms, walked to the base of the sculpture.
Mr. Li Wangchuan personally filled a bowl of warm glutinous rice balls from the thermos bucket he brought and placed it in front of the monument, while his juniors, including the accompanying Wei Ran, each presented a bouquet of flowers to the foot of the monument.
"salute!"
Mr. Li Wangchuan shouted angrily, and then solemnly raised his right hand to the peak of his eyebrows.
Following this command, several middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s from the Li family and Zhou family, as well as several young people in their 20s and 30s, also performed a military salute. The other men, women, and children lowered their heads silently.
.
Wei Ran looked at the two families with some surprise. The three generations of old, middle and young people together accounted for nearly fifty people, and there were actually nine people performing military salutes among them! There were almost one or two people from each generation in both families.
Among them was Li Weizhong, the owner of the grain and oil store!
"The ceremony is over!"
Following Mr. Li Wangchuan's command, those who had exchanged glasses with Weiran last night lowered their arms in unison.
Seeing Mr. Li Wangchuan looking at him, Wei Ran nodded solemnly, and with passers-by watching, he led the two families into the park and found the osmanthus tree.
Old Mr. Li Wangchuan once again took out a bowl of glutinous rice balls from the thermos bucket he had brought and placed it under the tree. He respectfully kowtowed three times with the younger members of the two families, and then slowly peeled away the soil and revealed the genius of Wei Ranqian.
The white porcelain urn was buried in it, and his son Li Weizhong had already held up a black umbrella in advance.
Although the white porcelain urn contained only a handful of loess from Teng County, to these two families it was a relative who had not returned home for a long time.
After the middle-aged man from the Zhou family filled up the shallow hole under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, the two families, led by Mr. Li Wangchuan, left the park and drove back to Zigong.
That afternoon, the motorcade drove straight into a cemetery and sent the jar of loess into Li Hexian's tomb. The photo of Li Hexian and Miss Zhou's family was also inlaid on the mottled tombstone.
Wei Ran, who was watching silently, glanced at the cemetery hidden in the bamboo forest halfway up the mountain. Wei Ran found Li Sui'an's tomb and looked at the tombstone with remaining moss standing there for a long time.
After the brief ceremony was over and everyone came down the mountain, Wei Ran also submitted his resignation. However, the two hospitable families flatly refused without even thinking, determined to let Wei Ran stay for a few more days.
However, in the past two days, Suisui had urged him several times to go back and prepare the transcripts that might be sent home at any time. Wei Ran could only promise again and again that he would come back for a special visit when he had the opportunity in the next year. This was what Mr. Li Wangchuan ordered.
head.
Before leaving, Wei Ran took the opportunity to sneak the big-bellied box into the neatly folded quilt at the head of Mr. Li Wangchuan's bed. Perhaps this big-bellied box really should be sent to a museum, but it should
The Li family sent it there in person. And with Mr. Li Wangchuan and three generations of veterans from their family present, Wei Ran didn't have to worry about the gun being used for other purposes.
While Wei Ran secretly left the pistol, the Li family also prepared two large suitcases full of various gifts for him. Faced with the choice of going home or accepting the gifts, he could only refuse and take them with him.
All kinds of Zigong specialties were sold to Li Weizhong himself and he was driven to the high-speed rail station.
After bidding farewell to Li Weizhong who was seeing him off, and repeatedly promising to come over for a few days after the new year, Wei Ran walked into the security checkpoint carrying two heavy suitcases.
That afternoon, Wei Ran took a flight from Chengdu and returned to the capital smoothly with his overweight luggage. But unlike last time, he had just walked to the pick-up gate when he saw Sui, who had been waiting for a long time.
ear.
"You won't have class today?" Wei Ran asked, letting the other party snatch away the suitcase full of gifts.
"What classes are there on Saturday?" Suisui said matter-of-factly, "And I finished the last subject yesterday. If it weren't for waiting for you, I would have gone back to my grandma's house."
"You guys have a holiday?"
"You asked us if we were still two days late and school has started?" Suisui asked as she walked, "Where have you been these days?"
“Went to Sichuan and Sichuan”
"Sichuan? Hot pot?! If I had known, I would have gone with you!" Suisui said, opening her little hands, "Where's the gift? What gift did you buy for me?"
"They are all in the box you are pulling. You can pick them first when you get back." Wei Ran changed the subject at this point, "Since it's a holiday, when do you plan to go back?"
"Well, before I go back, my classmate's father wants to meet you."
"What? Your classmate's father?" Wei Ran stopped and looked at Suisui confused, "Why does your classmate's father see me?"
"Because of your Zhang Qin," Suisui said with an embarrassed look, "I took a few photos of that Zhang Qin two days ago and sent them to Moments. Do you still remember them?"
Wei Ran nodded, "I was impressed, and I even liked it."
Suisui said helplessly, "It was the circle of friends that caused the trouble. One of my classmates saw it and showed it to his father. Then his father came directly to the school and wanted to see the piano."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Did you show it to him?"
Wei Ran frowned and asked. He was not too worried about any accidents. Although according to Culp, the origin of the bed piano was not righteous, but when he brought it back to China, there were a lot of purchase procedures.
, there were no problems at the customs, so naturally there was no need to worry too much.
"Why should I show it to him?"
Suisui rolled her eyes, "Don't say that the piano is yours. Even if it's mine, I can't show it to him. But in the past two days, my classmate and his father have been blocking me downstairs in the dormitory.
Sorry, I'm almost bored to death."
"Who asked you to show off for nothing?" Wei Ran continued to walk and asked happily, "Did they say anything else?"
"He also said he wanted to buy that broken piano." Suisui followed Wei Ran and begged coquettishly, "Why don't you just meet me so that you don't come over to bother me again after school starts during the Chinese New Year."
"It's not impossible to meet him." Wei Ran glanced at Suisui, "But is there any benefit?"
"What benefits do you want?" Suisui didn't accept Wei Ran's advice, "Isn't it enough that I helped you hide the matter of coming back early?"
"Pretend I didn't tell you," Wei Ran immediately gave in. "Let's book a taxi to meet your classmate's father."
"Okay!" Suisui immediately took out her mobile phone with a smile on her face, and after making an appointment for a car, she sent a WeChat message to her classmates.
When the two of them arrived at the gate of Suisui's school, they just got off the bus and saw a father and son walking towards them quickly.
We can guess that this is a father and son, naturally because the two people's facial features are so similar, the same tall and thin, the same curly hair, the same pair of rimless glasses, even
Even the strong bookish aura on his body is the same, the only difference is that one is a more mature and steady middle-aged man, and the other is a young man who looks a little introverted.
"This uncle is the father of my classmate, and this is my classmate Chen Luoxiang."
Suisui put her hand on Wei Ran's arm calmly, "This is my boyfriend Wei Ran, the owner of Zhang Poqin."
Wei Ran secretly glared at Suisui. This was not the first time he had pretended to be her boyfriend. It could even be said that no matter whether it was the high school Suisui attended in Volgograd or the university around him, as long as
If Wei Ran has the opportunity to go to their school, as long as her classmates are around, this wicked little thing will definitely use Wei Ran as a shield.
Even because of this matter, when Wei Ran first arrived in Volgograd, he met one of Suisui's suitors on the road and was blocked and had a fight.
After all, who doesn’t like mixed-race furry girls, especially beautiful mixed-race furry girls? If you really think about it, Wei Ran, who had almost grown up together, didn’t take this naughty little girl seriously.
"Hello, Mr. Chen." Wei Ran shook hands with the elegant middle-aged man without being humble or overbearing, and then shook hands with his son, a young man named Chen Luoxiang.
"Mr. Wei, please take the liberty of meeting me and causing trouble to you."
The middle-aged man named Chen obviously did not regard Wei Ran as the same age as his son. He held Wei Ran's hand in a very formal manner and shook it gently. After Wei Ran shook hands with his son, he took the initiative to explain,
"My name is Chen Guangling. If it's convenient for you, I'd like to talk to you about the Guqin Youquan."
"Mr. Chen, you're welcome." Wei Ran looked around, "Shall we find a coffee shop?"
"If it's convenient, how about going to my store?" Chen Guangling asked eagerly.
Wei Ran was stunned for a moment, then understood what the other party meant, smiled and said to Suisui, "Suisui, please take those two suitcases to the dormitory first, and then bring the piano case by the way."
"Classmate Zhou Sui, let me help you!" The young man named Chen Luoxiang said proactively, adjusting his glasses with high prescription.
Seeing Wei Ran nod, Suisui handed one of the suitcases to Chen Luoxiang. The two of them each rode an electric car parked inside the school gate, carrying the huge suitcase and disappeared.
Chen Guangling also apologized, trotted across the road and got into a new and not old car. He drove to the intersection and made a U-turn, stopping firmly next to Wei Ran.
