Chapter 492 Going Home
"But Xiaofeng, do you know what I regret most over the years?" Jiang Weiming asked.
"What?" Jiang Feng was confused.
"What I regret most is that I kept running away when I was young."
"Sichuan is very mountainous, and transportation is inconvenient. It is difficult to get in and out. After the war, I hesitated for a long time. I was wondering whether to leave Shu, whether to give up my original stable life and go back to Peking. At that time, I was preparing to leave, packing my luggage every night, and putting the packed luggage back in its place when I got up the next day.”
"I'm afraid that when I return to Peking, I will find that I am still alone. I am even more afraid that when I return to Peking, I will find that Taifeng Tower has changed owners or has become a ruin. I don't dare to go by myself, so I can only ask people to keep asking. News. Thinking about it now, if I had gone out to look for people by myself instead of asking someone to find out the news, it might not be like this now.”
"Third Grandpa." Jiang Feng looked at Jiang Weiming and didn't know how to comfort him.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. When I get older, I like to talk about the original things. Once I talk about it, I will feel sad for myself. Even if I talk about it, it won't change anything. It only makes me sad." Jiang Weiming regained his original self. In his usual smiling state, "Xiao Feng, you specifically asked about the lees steamed buns just now, did you find anything?"
Jiang Feng nodded: "Do you still remember that when Dong Shi and Dong Li came to visit you last time, they mentioned that they had a senior brother working in Babaozhai?"
"Remember, my surname is Zheng, right? He is the mooncake maker before Babaozhai." Jiang Weiming remembered it on the spot when Jiang Feng reminded him.
"I had lunch at Babao Zhai yesterday. Babao Zhai has launched several new snacks, including steamed buns with fermented lees. I ordered them, and they tasted almost exactly the same as what you and grandpa originally made. They are definitely of the same origin. "It was taught by the master," Jiang Feng said.
Jiang Weiming straightened his back nervously: "So Xiaofeng, do you think..."
"I think it must be. You also said just now that Second Grandpa's Bai'an and Hong'an are very good. We have all eaten Zheng Siyuan's Bai'an dim sum. It is definitely trained by the masters. Dong Shi and Dong Li's red's craftsmanship We know it very well. I think it can't be a coincidence that they come from the same sect. Their great master... must be the second grandfather!" Jiang Feng said firmly.
"But." Jiang Feng changed the subject, "I hope you won't tell Grandpa this good news for the time being."
"Why?" Jiang Weiming was puzzled.
"Dong Li told me that their great master passed away many years ago. He and Dong Shi have never even met. I don't think Zheng Siyuan has met either. I think so, but after all, this is just mine. Guess, if their great master is really the second grandfather, then the only people who have met the second grandfather are Zheng Siyuan’s father and Master Huang.”
"Grandpa is impatient. If he knows the news about Second Grandpa, he must confirm it as soon as possible. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and transportation is not convenient. There has been no news about Second Grandpa for so many years. Maybe he has changed his name like you did back then. It's been a long time. , if we don’t go there in person or meet Master Huang and the others, even if we have already determined this kind of thing in our hearts, it may not be true. Maybe this person is not the second grandfather but the elder. Grandpa or others. So I want you to keep this good news in your heart and spend the new year happily. Dong Shi and Dong Li are not from Suzhou, but they will definitely go to Master Huang during the New Year. , I want to contact them first and let them make a preliminary confirmation for me. I will take time to go to Suzhou or bring Master Huang to Peiping after the year to confirm this matter before telling Grandpa. road.
Jiang Weiming thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, I will listen to you Xiaofeng. Your third grandfather, I will help you hide this good news in your heart. After this year, I will go to Gusu with your grandfather to give you two It’s been so many years since grandpa visited the grave, and it’s only a day or two later.”
"Thank you, Third Grandpa." Jiang Feng said with a smile, "We still have more than an hour to go. Please tell me about your original story. Who did you learn Sichuan cuisine from after you went to Shu, and how did you learn it? Become a chef in a state-owned hotel? ”
"What's there to tell about such vague past events? Your third grandfather and I have been living in Shu all my life. Unlike your grandfather who traveled all over the south, my story is definitely not as exciting as your grandfather's story. If I really want to hear the story, can you just ask your grandpa to tell it to you when you get back? The third grandpa’s story is so boring that there is nothing to tell.”
Jiang Weiming said and looked out the window.
The scenery outside the window is very simple, with nothing to appreciate. It is even more depressing because it is winter, and there are not many green plants to see.
He has rarely taken the train in recent years. In the past, every time he took the train, it was a bad thing, basically because of Jiangyan Road.
Jiang Yanlu asked him to come over to celebrate the New Year, and Jiang Yanlu asked him to come over to cook. Later, Jiang Yanlu drove his father into the basement for the sake of his son.
He was in a bad mood every time he took the train. He was in a bad mood when the train was going fast, and he was in a bad mood when the train was going slow. Because every time it comes time to travel by train, it’s not a good thing.
But Jiang Feng broke the bad luck that bad things would happen if he took the train.
He took a train to the provincial capital and got married to Jiang Feng.
He took the train to City Z and reunited with his younger brother.
He took a train to City A and reunited with his aunt's family.
He took a train to Peiping, where Tai Feng Tower reopened.
Now, with a troubled and restless heart, he took a train to Shanghai for the first time, to the home of his youngest son, whom he had never visited before, and learned the news about his second brother on the train.
The most important thing is that he used to be alone on the train, but now there is always someone by his side no matter what the situation is.
Jiang Weiming looked at the scenery outside the window and felt that even the telephone poles had become pleasing to the eye.
It seems that he will take more trains in the future, Jiang Weiming thought to himself.
"Third Grandpa, Third Grandpa, what are you looking at?" Jiang Feng couldn't help but ask when he saw Jiang Weiming looking out the window in a daze and laughing at the same time.
"It's nothing, it's just that your third grandfather suddenly felt that there were too few trains, and he should take more trains in the future." Jiang Weiming said with a smile.
Jiang Feng:? ? ?
Take more trains?
What is this operation? .
The flow of people at the Modu Railway Station is not inferior to that in Peking. When leaving the station, Jiang Feng pushed two large boxes and a large bag. It was only because of Jiang Weiming, who looked like an old man next to him, that he would not be crowded by the crowd when leaving the station. Go to the corner and meet the suitcase man.
Pushing two suitcases and looking around, Jiang Feng finally found Jiang Yong in the crowd holding a piece of A4 white paper to pick someone up.
"Second cousin, second cousin, here!" Jiang Feng waved his hands while jumping up and down, and at the same time he was worried that he would kick the suitcase aside while jumping up and down.
Jiang Yong noticed Jiang Feng walking towards them quickly. Seeing the two of them pushing three suitcases and two bags, he was really shocked by the lineup of luggage.
Jiang Yong took a box from Jiang Feng, and then took the backpack from Jiang Weiming.
"Dad, go home. Xiaoran and Juanzi are both at home waiting for you to go back for dinner. Juanzi specially prepared a large table of dishes for you and is waiting for you to go back and comment." Jiang Yong said with a smile.
"Okay, go home." (End of Chapter)
