Xu Erlong rode a motorcycle and took Lan Minghui to the Armed Forces Department.
Along the way, the cold wind blew against my face, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. I could only listen to the clanking sound of motorcycles.
"Second brother." A clear voice sounded from the street corner.
Xu Erlong turned around slightly and saw Zhang Jinfang and Xu Xiaoling standing on the other side of the street.
It's so late, why are they still outside?
Xu Erlong turned around and rode his motorcycle in front of the two of them: "Mom, Xiaoling, why are you still out so late?"
"She was walking carelessly and her foot was pricked by an iron nail. Bring her here for a tetanus shot." Zhang Jinfang looked at Xiaoling with a bit of reproach: "I'll see if you still look at your feet when you walk in the future."
Xiaoling stuck out her tongue: "Mom, it's you who is making such a fuss now. When I was a child in the countryside, I ran around barefoot and had my feet cut by glass. Why didn't you worry about it then?"
"The past was before, and the present is now." Zhang Jinfang said angrily: "You used to run around barefoot, do you want to run around barefoot now?"
Lan Minghui listened to the conversation between their family, got off the back seat of the motorcycle, and said to Xu Erlong: "Thank you for bringing me here. You take care of your family. I'll go first."
Only then did Zhang Jinfang realize that there was an outsider present.
m.sudus.
She raised her head and looked at the other person, only to feel that the other person was tall and burly, quite oppressive.
"I'd better send you to the Armed Forces Department first." Xu Erlong said.
"No, you should take good care of your mother and sister. It's so late and it's not safe for two lesbians to be outside." Lan Minghui said.
Because I'm used to being strict with my words, even though my words were meant to care for others, they still sounded innocent.
Xu Erlong thought about it, and it was indeed the key to take good care of his mother and sister right now. It was not safe for two lesbians to be outside at this late night.
"Then let me show you the way. Go around the road here and walk along the downhill road for a while. After turning about four or five hundred meters, you can see the Armed Forces." Xu Erlong pointed to the road ahead and followed Lan Ming.
Hui explained the direction in detail, fearing that Lan Minghui would not be able to find it.
"Okay." Lan Minghui nodded to several people as a greeting, then turned and left.
Xiaoling asked Xu Erlong in a low voice: "Second brother, who is he? He is cold and cool."
"Well, I'm here to handle something." Xu Erlong replied.
"Wow, it's really exciting." Xu Xiaoling said enviously.
These days, everyone still admires J men, and the image of men that everyone likes is still the cold and hard screen image of Takakura Ken. Xiaoling's look of a little girl is completely in line with a girl of her age.
"What's his name? Where does he live? How old is he?" Zhang Jinfang kept staring at Lan Minghui's back.
Xu Erlong couldn't help but laugh. Xiaoling looked like a little girl. She felt that people were cold and cool, and cool and cool was enough. Her own mother was also gossiping like this. What was she doing asking questions?
"He's from out of town. His name is Lan Minghui. He's here to deal with some matters. As for how old he is, I don't know." Xu Erlong explained, patting the seat in the back seat: "Come on, I'll take you back. Don't worry.
Too cold."
Xiaoling neatly stepped onto the back seat, squeezed forward thoughtfully, and signaled Zhang Jinfang to come up: "Mom, sit up quickly."
Zhang Jinfang obeyed and got on the motorcycle, leaving Xu Erlong to lead them back.
That night, Zhang Jinfang suffered from insomnia, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and stared at the roof until dawn.
She thought of her lost eldest son.
He has been missing for so many years. In the early years, Zhang Jinfang tried to find him, but there was no news.
As time passed, she gradually buried the matter in her heart and stopped mentioning it.
But for some reason, seeing Lan Minghui today, Zhang Jinfang inexplicably aroused her concern for her lost eldest son.
If he were still alive, he would be almost this old, right?
Xu Erlong went to bed a little later the next day. When he got up, put on his coat, and walked out to go to the toilet, he found Zhang Jinfang still sitting on the sofa, lost in thought.
"Mom." Xu Erlong called her, which was quite unexpected.
At this usual time, Zhang Jinfang had already sent Xiaoling to school and then went to the Chemical Warehousing Department Store to wait to open her sewing service department.
But today, I am still at home.
Moreover, it seems that he is not in good spirits, is he sick?
Xu Erlong walked over and reached out to touch Zhang Jinfang's forehead: "Mom, are you sick?"
In this winter, be careful not to catch a cold.
"No." Zhang Jinfang knocked his hand off and stood up: "Erlong, where does that comrade from yesterday live? Take me to find him."
"Ah?" Xu Erlong was surprised: "Mom, why are you looking for him?"
Zhang Jinfang couldn't explain clearly either.
It was too dark yesterday, so she only caught a glimpse of Lan Minghui.
Somehow, just such a glance reminded her of her lost eldest son.
Zhang Jinfang herself found this idea a bit ridiculous.
Therefore, she couldn't tell her. She wanted Xu Erlong to take her to see him again and ask him how old he was and what his family was like.
If you ask clearly, you will be able to solve a problem.
Xu Erlong rinsed his teeth and washed his face, and saw that Zhang Jinfang looked serious and stubborn, as if there was a huge matter that needed to be solved urgently.
Xu Erlong rode a motorcycle and took Zhang Jinfang to the Armed Forces Department to find someone.
Unfortunately, I was in a hurry to say goodbye yesterday and didn't know where Lan Minghui lived. Later I asked a comrade to find out that Lan Minghui left early in the morning and now I don't know where he is going.
"Can't you find him?" Zhang Jinfang murmured.
Xu Erlong vaguely guessed something: "Mom, do you feel that Lan Minghui has something to do with us?"
Otherwise, with Zhang Jinfang's character, it would be impossible for him to inquire so thoroughly about a young man he met for the first time.
Zhang Jinfang couldn't help but sighed: "I don't know why, but I just think of your lost brother."
Xu Erlong laughed: "So, you want to ask him about his situation?"
Zhang Jinfang nodded: "Yes, asking clearly will make me feel more at ease. After so many years, I don't ask for anything else, I just ask that he can still be alive. I feel relieved knowing that he is still alive and well."
Xu Erlong understood Zhang Jinfang's idea.
After so many years, everyone has assumed that the lost Xu Dahai is no longer alive. It is normal to suddenly look at a person and feel a little expectant.
However, Xu Erlong felt that this matter was not particularly reliable.
Lan Minghui obviously looks much older, and besides, he is from out of town.
"Mom, I'll check with Wang Deqing later. After all, they are comrades in arms and know some things better." Xu Erlong agreed.
"Go and ask now. Come on, I'll go with you." Zhang Jinfang urged.
