Chapter 130 128: Serious conversation with my brother
Wang Tianxiao originally wanted to take some time to talk to Tiancheng about his unrequited love.
Emotional matters cannot be forced, and he is still young, and he is not in a hurry to talk about a partner, so he should do more meaningful things.
Wang Tianxiao doesn't think that love is cheaper than being a big leader, so he doesn't think it's wrong for his younger brother to like a girl.
It’s just that, as an older brother, he thinks he has something to say, and he still needs to explain it clearly to his younger brother. This is his responsibility.
My younger brother is young after all, so he may not be able to figure out what he needs. Once he makes a wrong choice, it may be too late to regret.
It's just that he didn't expect things to develop so fast, which completely disrupted his rhythm. Before he could talk about it, his brother was injured.
So while Mi Xiaoqing was out shopping, he decided to have a good talk with Tiancheng, and he couldn't delay any longer.
"Tiancheng, do you like Xiaoqing?"
Wang Tianxiao went straight to the point, without beating around the bush.
"Ah..." Wang Tiancheng's eyes were still following Mi Xiaoqing's back, he was startled and a little embarrassed when he heard this.
"Tiancheng, do you still remember your dream?"
"Being a soldier, becoming a heroic soldier, how can you forget?"
"Then you know, if your leg is more serious, it is impossible to pass the military inspection?"
"Is it so serious?" Tiancheng was surprised.
"What do you think? I asked an expert, and they said that fortunately, it was only a thin bone fracture. If you rest properly, you can heal in more than a month, and the surgical scars are almost negligible. But this is your luck. If it is a little serious, you will Forever lost the chance to join the army, you know?"
Wang Tiancheng didn't expect the problem to be so serious. He thought for a while, and asked his brother softly, "Shouldn't I take action in that situation? Brother, didn't you say that we are human beings, and we can't stand by when others need it? Can I just watch her fall?"
"Tiancheng, ask yourself, you were so desperate at the time, it has nothing to do with her being the girl you like?"
Wang Tiancheng was silent for another moment, and said sincerely: "Brother, I admit that I have a crush on Xiaoqing, but this was not the main reason why I saved her at that time. I thought about it just now, and under the circumstances at that time, I would save anyone .Although I am not a soldier yet, I feel that any soldier will be like me, and will not retreat when it is time to make a move!"
Wang Tianxiao looked at his younger brother in astonishment.
"Brother, are you worried that I will delay my military service because I like Miss Xiaoqing?" Wang Tiancheng smiled slightly, "Don't be afraid, I know what I'm doing. Being a soldier is my biggest dream, and I won't give up. .”
"Then you to Xiaoqing..."
"My fair lady, a gentleman is so sweet," Wang Tiancheng sighed, "If you like it, you just like it, and you don't need to hide it, but I know she doesn't like me, I'm just greedy for this moment of happiness."
The boy turned his head to look out the window, and said quietly, "After all, I went to the army, and I might never really like a girl like this."
Wang Tianxiao looked at his younger brother, both comforting and feeling faintly sad for him.
Perhaps, knowing that life is not perfect like this, that you have to give up something if you have something to gain, is the real beginning of maturity.
Although my younger brother is younger than him, he has an open-mindedness that ordinary people don't have. Perhaps it is because of this character that he has gone further.
His worry is unnecessary.
But he also decided that after Tiancheng recovered from his injury, he would not be allowed to come to the mountains again. It was enough for this kind of thing to happen once.
He can't stand it, and neither can his younger brother.
.
Back at the station, Wang Tianxiao went to see Dafeng after the injury treatment. Under Liu Yuan's treatment, his injury was basically stable, but he seemed a little weak. When he saw Wang Tianxiao coming over, he struggled to remember, but was held down by Wang Tianxiao. .
So he licked Wang Tianxiao's palm with his tongue.
"Take a good rest. Your performance this time is very brave. You are a good comrade who can stand up to things. I would like to give you a special commendation, and you will be awarded a ninth-class merit."
Wang Tianxiao has always had the habit of talking to animals.
In his previous life, he patrolled the mountains alone, and dogs accompanied him every day, so he developed a habit of treating them as his companions and chatting with them in a human tone.
Of course the dogs don’t know what he means specifically, but they can judge the general content from his eyes and emotions, especially Ah Ying and Dafeng, who have been used to his random thoughts since childhood, as if they have understood human nature.
Just like now, it knew that Wang Tianxiao was praising it, and suddenly its eyes became a little more excited, and the tail that was originally lying limply on the wooden board began to shake slightly.
"Look at this beast, when I sewed it, if it hadn't been well protected, it would have bitten me. It's good now, it doesn't care about my life-saving grace at all, and loves me No reason."
Liu Yuan said angrily.
That's what I said, but looking at Dafeng's handling, you can see how careful Liu Yuan is.
This old man, Wang Tianxiao, has already figured out his temper. He is not forgiving in his mouth, but he is actually a very gentle person in his heart.
I met a pregnant doe before, and in order to protect the doe, I was almost besieged to death by honey dogs. From this kind of thing, I can see his character.
As for lip service, it's pretty common.
In this era, many people have this habit. They don't know how to express directly, but deliberately behave indifferently.
Wang Tianxiao is actually not much better.
In his previous life, he obviously loved the children very much, but in the eyes of the children, he was a strict father, and it was also because of this reason.
Not good at expressing, but also want to maintain their inexplicable dignity.
"Haha, let me tell it," Wang Tianxiao patted Dafeng's head, pointed to Liu Yuan and said, "little comrade, you need to know who is our friend and who is our enemy. We should treat friends like spring." Warm, you have to treat the enemy as cold as winter. The kind uncle in front of you is our good friend, you have to be polite to him, understand?"
Dafeng stared at Liu Yuan for a while, rolled his eyes, and continued to lick Wang Tianxiao's palm.
Wang Tianxiao smiled awkwardly: "Take your time, give it a little time."
Liu Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to him, and pretended to be angry and glared at Dafeng. Dafeng immediately grinned and looked at Liu Yuan angrily, which made Wang Tianxiao laugh.
I don't know who to persuade and not to care about whom.
"By the way, how is Dahei? Its legs are fine, right?" Wang Tianxiao thought of Dahei again. When he came to pick him up at night, he was also limping.
"Fortunately, its bones are a bit misaligned. I have helped it recover, and there should be no problem. The dog's recovery is better than ours, and it will be fine in a few days."
"That's good." Wang Tianxiao nodded, feeling relieved.
He took out a hundred yuan and stuffed it into Liu Yuan's hand, "Uncle Liu, I have troubled you a lot recently. It is to help us modify the sowing tools, and to help the dogs heal their injuries. You take this money."
"don't want!"
Liu Yuan stuffed it back and said angrily, "Why do I want your money? You take care of my food and housing, and just give me wine. My old man has no place to spend money."
"You take it, for example, to buy tobacco leaves, don't you ask for money."
"Hurry up and take it back, how much money can I use to buy tobacco leaves?" Liu Yuan turned and walked away, saying as he walked, "Just make sure that I keep drinking. If you continue like this, I won't be here forever."
Wang Tianxiao smiled wryly, and put away the money.
This old man has been here for so many days, but everyone still doesn't know his real situation.
I don’t know if he is married, if he has children or a good wife, and I don’t know where his home is. I have asked several times, but they have been resolved very cleverly.
After a long time, Wang Tianxiao also understood that Liu Yuan must have information that he didn't want to tell others.
Everyone has secrets that they don’t want others to know. Since he doesn’t want to tell, then don’t ask forcibly. I believe that if you need to know, you will always get all the information at a certain right time.
I just feel a little embarrassed.
Liu Yuan has already done a lot of things at the station.
He is responsible for eating, drinking, and scavenging all the animals, and he also takes care of the role of a carpenter. Although he doesn't have to go to the mountains to work, it is still a bit hard because of his age.
From yesterday to now, Wang Tianxiao has not slept for dozens of hours, and just about to go back to catch up on sleep, the Wu family brothers also got up.
So I took them to look at the sketch I drew yesterday, and asked them to start sowing seeds today.
Record the sowing area every day, and count the workload.
The Wu brothers knew that their main task was to do things related to the cultivation of medicinal materials, so they asked about some precautions and promised Wang Tianxiao that they would spread them well.
Wang Tianxiao affirmed their satisfaction with their recent work while giving them a smooth future.
Let the two brothers who have never seen the world increase their enthusiasm.
Of course, Wang Tianxiao is not just drawing cakes. He told the two brothers his true thoughts and goals. He just wanted to build a very comfortable and natural place here.
Back to the room, Li Yali had already gotten up and was knitting a sweater for Wang Fang.
Seeing him enter the door, dressed in travel and dust, he said distressedly: "Boss, are you done with your work?"
"Well, it's over."
Wang Tianxiao threw his coat on the bench inside and put on a clean sweater. He wanted to wash and go to sleep, but when he touched the hot kang, he immediately lost his strength and didn't want to get up.
He said it was over, but in his heart he knew it was just the beginning. Tiancheng hasn't had the operation yet, and will have to rest for a month or so after the operation is completed.
He hasn't told those people in the Pit Yard about Tiancheng's injury. Once he knows, there will definitely be a lot of complaints to be poured on him, and it will probably be another monstrous wave.
Of course he is not afraid of those people's sneering words now, but after all, Tiancheng followed him up the mountain and was injured again. When asked by his brothers and sisters at home, he really couldn't absolve himself of the blame.
Very annoying.
Let’s talk about it later, anyway, now he has found a way to deal with those people in his family. If they are not too much, then he will treat them peacefully. If his words or actions are too extreme, then he has no good temper.
"How is Tiancheng's leg, is it serious?"
"Fortunately, I went to the hospital to find a specialist and said that I will have an operation, and then I will rest for a month or so."
"Ah, it's been so long," Li Yali stopped what she was doing, with a sad face on her face, "Will that affect his work next year? This kid has always wanted to be a soldier."
Wang Tianxiao smiled wryly and said: "Normally, there is still half a year left in the military inspection, and he should be able to recover, but I am ashamed. I wanted him to experience the life of a mountain, but I didn't expect him to be injured."
Looking at her husband's helpless expression, Li Yali quickly understood his position, and gently held his hand in her palm, "I can't blame you for this."
Wang Tianxiao smiled.
"Go to bed first, you haven't slept since yesterday, and your face has turned dark."
"Well, then I'm going to sleep."
Maybe it was because he was too tired, Wang Tianxiao fell asleep very quickly this time, and in the blink of an eye, he let out a deafening snore.
Li Yali wanted to push her husband lightly to change his posture. She stretched out her hand in the air, but lightly landed on his forehead to help him straighten his messy hair.
Then cover him with a quilt and put his hands in the quilt.
Seeing that her husband's brows were still frowning together, she gently rubbed them a few times with her hands. In a daze, Wang Tianxiao muttered something. She put her ear next to her husband's mouth, and vaguely heard a few words.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
She smiled.
Wang Tianxiao woke up again, it was already afternoon.
He opened his eyes and saw Wang Fang lying next to him, drawing something on kraft paper with a pencil, and his wife leaning sideways against the window, knitting a sweater again.
Seeing that he woke up, he smiled and said, "Are you awake?"
"Well, what time is it?"
"About three or four o'clock."
"Three or four o'clock," Wang Tianxiao repeated in a daze, and sat up suddenly, "It's so late, I've been asleep for a long time."
"Sleep, it's winter, it's not like you have to wait for you to do something now. You're hungry. Brother Wenhua called you to eat at noon. I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't call you."
Wang Tianxiao shook his head, really not very hungry.
"Dad, look at what I drew." Wang Fang saw her father wake up, and handed him what she was drawing.
Wang Tianxiao took it over and took a look. There were faint pencil marks on the brown-red kraft paper, but he couldn't make out what it was.
Kraft paper is the most common paper in this era, whether it is a book or a notebook, it is made of this material. Of course, kraft paper has nothing to do with kraft leather. It is still made of some plant straw or wood pulp.
It's just that the bleaching technology in this era is relatively poor, so the paper produced by this mixed raw pulp maintains a yellowish-brown or brown-red color similar to cowhide, and because the raw pulp is not very delicate, if the paper is too thin, it is easy to appear a lot There are loopholes, so the paper is also made quite thick, much like the thickness of cowhide.
Kraft paper has always existed behind, but the writing function has gradually changed to the packaging function. For example, some envelopes, packaging bags or labels are all kraft paper.
Wang Tianxiao tore off his daughter's kraft paper, and took a quick look, but couldn't tell what it was.
Originally, kraft paper is difficult to write on. The color of the pencil is light, and the brushwork of children is abstract. It is really difficult to see what is being drawn.
"Dad, you took it down."
Wang Fang said suddenly.
"Ah, is that so?" Wang Tianxiao smiled awkwardly, turned the paper upside down again, and suddenly froze.
Although the painting is still blurry and abstract, and the brushwork is twisted and slanted, it can still be seen that she is painting a small castle floating in mid-air.
The castle is supported by four huge pillars. The castle has houses of various shapes, and the chimneys on the roof are also strange. Many houses even look like different small animals.
Between the house and the house, there are full of flowers. What's more interesting is that many small trees grow directly from the windows of the house. The trees are not fruits, but many small animals.
In the largest castle in the middle, you can see a few little people inside through the window.
Wang Tianxiao heard people say that people who engage in art are born and must have talent. In his previous life, he only knew that his daughter had a talent in literature, but he didn't expect her to have such a talent in painting.
It's a pity that the family was too poor at that time, so it was really neglected.
"Fang Wa is really good at drawing, what kind of story are you drawing?" Wang Tianxiao asked her daughter.
"This is our home."
"Huh?" Wang Tianxiao was taken aback, "Is this our home?"
"Yes, take a look, this is the house we live in now, this is the house for our dog, this is the place to cook, I designed a pig roof for it, and this is the uncle house, uncle speaks slowly, like an old scalper..."
Wang Fang told her father about her idea with great interest, and Wang Tianxiao listened with gusto.
The child's imagination is really invincible. She didn't simply design some houses, but designed different styles for everyone.
For example, the room she designed for Liu Yuan is on the bottom floor, so that she can walk less and don’t have to climb the steps. She also thoughtfully painted a goat on the roof of Grandpa Liu, because she always thought that the goat was made by the old man. .
"The painting is really good. Dad likes your paintings very much. We, Fang, must persevere and become a great painter when we grow up."
"Hee hee, actually I haven't finished drawing yet."
Wang Fang took the painting back and lay down on the kang to continue painting.
Wang Tianxiao said to his wife with a smile: "Fang Wa seems to have a talent for painting, shall we cultivate painting in the future?"
Li Yali didn't quite understand these things. Hearing what her husband said, she smiled and said, "I can do whatever I want, as long as my baby can be happy and live a healthy life."
"Well, yes."
Wang Tianxiao sat up and took out his watch to check the time. It was already past three forty in the afternoon.
He reluctantly got up from the hot kang, went down to pour some hot water, and simply scrubbed his lower body.
Yesterday, from day to night, I was killing wild boars and saving people. Although I had changed my clothes, I still had a faint fishy smell on my body. I was too sleepy before going to bed, but I could smell it very clearly when I woke up.
Of course, it is impossible to take a full body bath.
After taking a shower, put on clean clothes, and went out to see the two brothers Wu Wenhua and the two subjects working. The effect was good. The equipment Liu Yuan modified was very useful.
He went to the mountains for another quick turn, and when he came back at five o'clock, he carried two bags of wild animals on his back.
This is several days old, including the half bag that was thrown in the wolfberry bushes yesterday, and it was also picked up.
It was just because of the delay of more than a day in the middle, some little rabbits and pheasants with weak vitality could not hold on, and they were dying or even dead.
He had no choice but to pick out these little things that were not in good condition, and leave them for the people at the station to eat. He only sorted out the lively parts, a total of sixteen, and prepared to send them to Wenyuan Hotel.
He is planning to go to the station to discuss the contract tomorrow, but he doesn't know if the negotiation can go smoothly. If it is slow, it may be delayed for two or three days.
The deer blood wine here is basically almost ready, and he wants to send it to Zhang Wenyuan as soon as possible to solve this problem.
I feel bad, drink water.
Regarding the military inspection, in fact, the military inspection was very loose in the early years, but it has become a little stricter in recent years.
But in fact, it is not particularly harsh. Regarding the bones, generally the elbows and foot joints should not be severely damaged, and it is enough to ask other places to recover. For scars, it is necessary not to leave scars of more than three centimeters in obvious places...
Our four uncles were all soldiers, and so was my father-in-law, so don’t worry about this basic knowledge.
