The origin of this story is a small town named Yunlang.On a certain day at the intersection of spring and summer, the small town suddenly became abnormally cold.Early-moving cars passed silently on the sloping streets, and the fog-removing headlights avoided the sleepy alleys.The undulating steps of the alley are as old as the small town, winding upwards along the dangerous walls in the fog.The damaged end of the steps is blocked by a three-story brick building, the old gray of which resembles the first light of the day.The small window on the top of the building is ajar, overlooking the scattered ancient city on the slope, and also facing the direction where the sun will rise.

Every day, Gao Chun is the first one to wake up in this city. After getting up, he grooms and dresses carefully and quickly.The habit of dressing up may be found in a photo on the bedside - a teenager dancing in the air is frozen in the center of the picture.Compared with the boy dancing in the photo, Gao Chun at this time has grown up. Running down from the attic room on the top floor of the gray building, Gao Chun's movements still retain the feeling of dancing, with a straight head and neck, and a straight back.The moment he ran out from the back door of the gray building, the entire alley was empty.

The place where Gao Chun went as usual in the morning was not too far from the gray brick building. He knocked on the door of a house in a residential area not too far away.Master Li who lives in the door is his boss. From the damaged appearance of the house, it is not difficult to see that the boss is not rich——Master Li has three wives and daughters, and the only production tool is a Fukang car he bought five years ago.A Fukang car and a business license for individual taxis have confirmed Master Li's career as a breadwinner, and also made Master Li his "boss" status.In order to make the best use of everything, this Fukang has to work on the street for nearly 20 hours a day.Master Li leaves the car every evening and drives until midnight. This is the best time for business. During the whole day, he sleeps at home, recharges his batteries, rents the car to Gao Chun, and agrees that the income during the day will be 50-50. , the 50-50 split can also allow Gao Chun to earn eight or nine hundred yuan a month.For eight or nine hundred yuan in the small town of Yunlang, you can have ample food and clothing.

Gao Chun took the business license, driving license and car keys at Master Li's house, and Gao Chun drove away the car parked outside the door.The first order of business was to send passengers to the airport, more than 100 kilometers one way.I thought that today's fortune was shining brightly, but I didn't expect to see no passengers going to Yunlang after unloading passengers at the airport until noon. People who got off the plane went straight to Tongyuan city.Gao Chun stayed at the passenger exit of the airport and asked for a long time: "Is there anyone going to Yunlang? Is there anyone going to Yunlang? The car has air conditioning..."

It wasn't until the sun was setting that I couldn't stand it any longer and drove back home with an empty car. When a person is unlucky, the color of his heart is gray.When we drove to the toll booth of the airport expressway, it was raining in the gloomy sky.Gao Chun rolled down the window to pay the toll, and the money ticket was also wet by the rain.Through the gray rain curtain, he saw a dense long queue of cars in front of the airport toll gate.The back door of a red taxi suddenly opened, and a young girl jumped out.The girl was wearing a yellow dress, and her running movement was as elegant as the wind. She almost effortlessly jumped over the isolated stone pier, and flew through the countercurrent of the driveway.A man in the red taxi rolled down the window and shouted at the girl's back.The rain suddenly became heavy at this moment, and the man hesitated and did not come down.Gao Chun only felt that a bright yellow dress rolled up on the windshield of his car in an instant, and when his eyes moved, the girl had already walked around to the right and opened the car door. The girl in yellow sat down firmly, and gave him an order loudly:

"drive!" Gao Chun didn't move, turned sideways, with a surprised expression on his face: "What are you going to do?" "Aren't you a taxi? I'll take a taxi!" The man in the red taxi over there finally got out of the car, wearing a well-knit suit that was weather-beaten.He opened an umbrella crookedly, and tried to climb up the concrete pier that was above his knees, but his movements were far less clean than the girl's.The girl yelled again: "Drive fast!" The car behind him also sounded the whistle of urging, and at the same time as the man in the suit finally crossed the concrete barrier, Gao Chun stepped on the accelerator, and the Fukang car roared and rushed out. Exit of the road toll booth.

On this day, Gao Chun returned the car two hours later than usual. When he returned to Master Li's house, a police car had just left.Master Li's daughter, Li Junjun, who is a sophomore in high school, has already left school. When she saw Gao Chun enter the room, she came up to greet her, but Gao Chun was surprised by the content of the greeting. "Brother Gao Chun, what happened to you? The police have come to our house." Master Li's wife has been ill for many years, and she weakly controlled her daughter on the bed: "Junjun, don't talk nonsense, Gao Chun is very responsible, the police are here to ask him about things."

Master Li called his daughter back to the desk: "Hey, don't go crazy when you see Gao Chun, have you finished your homework? If you don't get into college, you have to drive a taxi like Gao Chun!" The father's sternness made the daughter stop smiling, and retreated to the desk.Only then did Master Li pull Gao Chun outside the door and asked in a low voice: "You are not abducting women, are you? Why did you recruit the police to our house?" Gao Chun blinked innocently, "What did the police want you for?" "It's not me, it's you!"

"What do you want me for?" "Did you pull a woman on Airport Road today?" "Ah, what's the matter?" "Where did La go? The family called the police, and they are looking for her all over the city." "She got out of the car after exiting the airport road." The old and the young murmured, and the voice went downstairs.Master Li received the license plate of the car and checked the condition of the car as usual.Soon, the two parted at the door. "Keep your phone on from now on," Master Li said, "How much money can you save on the phone bill? If there is an emergency, how can I find you!"

The sunset after the rain is as gorgeous as a rainbow. Gao Chun returned to the gray building where he left early and returned late. It can be seen from a long distance that the pavilions on the top floor of this brick building are made of wooden boards. The pavilions are low and narrow, but they are connected to an extremely open roof terrace.The furnishings in the house were extremely simple, but a water pipe was installed.Gao Chun took water to wash his face and body, and then sprayed his hair with hairspray. He didn't come home from sunset, but he went out with new makeup. He didn't button up his new shirt until he was dressed neatly, and hurried up to the rooftop.

Turning out of the narrow doorway of the roof, the magnificent sunset rushes towards the face, and the hazy red halo in the sky coats a slender silhouette of a girl with a layer of rose-like fantasy. hitchhiking girl.Facing the burning sunset, the girl holds the wooden pole for drying clothes with her hands, her right leg is raised high, and her toes are stretched higher and higher, her movements are dignified and stable, and her posture is graceful and stretched. "I've seen your show." Gao Chun stood behind the girl, he had no intention of disturbing her homework.But the girl still put her legs down and turned around buoyantly. "Which show did you watch?" "I watched it at the Labor Theater, and it was a ticket given to me by my former art school teacher. You danced a pas de deux, and I liked it very much." Gao Chun paused, and said, "It's a pity that I forgot the name. " "Didn't I tell you, my name is Jinkui. The gold of gold, the sunflower of sunflower." "I mean, the pas de deux." The girl did not leave the pillar, which was like a "handle" for practicing Kungfu.She said: "Ah, that dance is called "Ice and Fire Love". I didn't expect you to learn how to dance." Ice and Fire Love... This name is a bit cruel, and Gao Chun was silent for a moment, and he continued: "You dance very well, but it's a pity that your dance partner is a bit old." "He is the oldest actor in our troupe. After our troupe asked the manager to contract this year, our manager fired him." Gao Chun is not surprised: "The industry that eats youth food is a cruel industry." The girl's gaze was somewhat sighing, not to the dance, but to Gao Chun, "So you would rather drive a taxi after graduating from art school, right? You can only dance until you are thirty, and drive until you are six." Ten, right?" Gao Chun smiled wryly, and smiled helplessly: "No, I love dancing. I have worked hard for her for six years. Dance is like a woman I love the most, a woman who is going to spend the rest of my life with her. I didn't expect that I would be in the arts. As soon as I graduated from school, this woman dumped me." "Why did you dump you?" The girl was puzzled: "You are injured and can't dance anymore?" "I'm out of money." "Does dancing cost money?" "If you want to dance, you must be alive. If you want to live, you must have money. Your song and dance troupe has not recruited men for two years, and I don't have a restaurant owner like you. If I want to keep myself alive, I must earn money." The girl was surprised: "Your parents...can't help you?" "My mother passed away." After a pause, Gao Chun continued, "I haven't seen my father." Speaking of parents, Gao Chun's voice is flat.Maybe it was a long time ago, and there is no impromptu sadness: "I want to earn some money, and then go to the south. Many of my classmates have gone to the south. Even if they can't join the group, there are dances in many bars and nightclubs in the south. Performance. But I haven't practiced for more than two years, and my body is already a little heavy. " The girl grinned slightly, revealing a row of neat white teeth, "It's okay, I can help you practice." Gao Chun also grinned: "Okay, let's practice together." This night was Gaochun's first time sleeping on the roof after renting this loft.The chill of the morning has not receded, and here he ushered in the first light of dawn.On the bed in the attic room, the girl named Jin Kui was still sleeping soundly, so Gao Chun had to do the essential daily grooming and dressing on tiptoe. As usual, the alley was quiet at this time.Gao Chun ran down the slope along the irregular stone steps, with vigorous steps and a more heartfelt excitement than before. The first destination he drove the car out of Master Li's house was exactly the place he had dreamed of.The Yunlang Song and Dance Troupe is located in the depression of the city, at both ends of the slope where he lives. Starting from Master Li's house and passing through the whole city of Yunlang, the streets gradually become wider and flatter.The courtyard of the song and dance troupe is also very open, but the building in the courtyard is old and dilapidated.According to Jin Kui's explanation last night, Gao Chun knocked on the drowsy troupe manager outside the door of a small room next to the practice room in the building. "Are you Manager Fang Yuanfang? I'm Jin Kui's friend, and I'm here to ask for leave for Jin Kui. " Gao Chun introduced himself like this.He was respectful and respectful to the man in his thirties who was a little bit bald.It seems that what Jin Kui said is right, the manager named Fang Yuan obviously has a good personal relationship with her, and he let Gao Chun into the room that has not been cleaned up.Before the quilt on the bed was folded, the manager dressed up and sent Gao Chun out.Gao Chun said repeatedly that you stay behind and you stay behind.The manager went downstairs with him, and the manager said it was all right, all right, I just went out to buy some breakfast. They walked through the empty practice room, the dilapidation of the practice room blurred in the hazy sunlight.At the gate of the song and dance troupe's courtyard, the old gatekeeper came forward with a flustered expression, and just said: Manager Fang is looking for you!They were surrounded by several strong men.The leader asked in a rough voice: Are you the manager? Is my sister Jin Kui at work today?The manager called Fang Yuan started talking with them, and Gao Chun said softly: Manager Fang, I'm leaving first.Then he went out sideways, covered his face and retreated. On the second night of taking Jin Kui in, the small attic was much more relaxed, without the strangeness and restraint of the previous night, the atmosphere seemed harmonious and happy.The two young people talked to each other about their respective families and loved ones, as well as the same simple life experiences. Compared with Gao Chun, Jin Kui seems to have everything in life. Not only her parents are still alive, her elder brother runs the house, but also, her family owns a not too small restaurant on a busy street in Yunlang City.A restaurant with hundreds of seats in Yunlang can be regarded as a rich family.Gao Chun said: "I know Chaohuang Restaurant, and I have attracted customers there. Since your family has opened such a big business, it should not be used to curry favor with that Taiwanese again." But Jinkui's The answer seems to confirm the old saying once again: the happiness of being poor, and the distress of being rich-"More than half of the money to open this restaurant is borrowed, and my father and my brother are in debt for this restaurant. No, I have to deal with all kinds of things. The Taiwanese said that he could give my dad a loan and let my dad pay off the old debt first. The Taiwanese said yesterday that he would take my parents and me to Shenzhen to play. Yes, but when I got in the car, I realized that my parents were not going. I said that I would not go either. He coaxed me all the way, and when I was almost at the airport, he suddenly said that he liked me and wanted to fall in love with me. Scared I had to jump out of the car." Gao Chun was puzzled: "Is it so scary to fall in love, to scare you to jump out of the car?" Jin Kui said: "That Taiwanese guy is just bored with doing business in the mainland and just wants to find a girl to accompany him. Who knows if he has a wife in Taiwan." Gao Chun blinked: "Then you have to go home early. Your family has called the police, and your brother has gone to the troupe to look for you. If you don't go back, your family will really sue me for kidnapping girls. You make them anxious for two days Are you out of breath?" Jin Kui nodded easy-goingly: "I know." He added: "I'm not angry with them. I don't go back because I'm afraid my father will be angry. My father, the most intolerable thing is that we contradict him. I have listened to everything since I was a child. His, he asked me to go to the province to go to school, so I went to the province to go to school, he asked me to return to work in Yunlang after graduation, and I went back to work in Yunlang..." Gao Chun interjected: "He said he asked you to go to Shenzhen with the Taiwanese, why didn't you go? Just be content with it. Now I want to find my parents to watch over me all day, but I can't find them." At this point, the topic turned to Gao Chun. Regarding Gao Chun's life experience, Jin Kui was full of curiosity: "Have your parents been away from you for a long time?" Gao Chun bowed his head, not knowing whether to admit it or deny it: "I have never met my father, I was brought up by my mother, the year before I graduated from Yunlang Art School, my mother became ill and then died. " Jin Kui fell silent, expressing due sympathy with silence.Instead, Gao Chun tried to maintain the evening's relaxation with an indifferent expression: "I guess I'm probably an illegitimate child. " "illegitimate child?" The word illegitimate child made Jin Kui stare blankly.It was not until Gao Chun laughed at himself: "Even if it is an illegitimate child, I hope it is the crystallization of love, not a burden of one-night stand." Only then did Jin Kui laugh, and added fuel: "The burden of a one-night stand is not bad, don't be the evidence of a rapist." In Gao Chun's memory, this was probably the first time that a girl's clear laughter sounded in his small room. He didn't laugh, and pointed to himself: "I was raped? You are too damaged!" In the afternoon of the next day, Gao Chun finished work very early. Instead of going back to Master Li's house, he drove the car back to his residence.In the same car with him was Fang Yuan, the manager of the Yunlang Song and Dance Troupe.Fang Yuan's arrival made the attic look cramped, and Gao Chun stood outside the door of the attic, silently listening to Fang Yuan's advice to Jin Kui. Fang Yuan said: "I promised your family that I will find you. Your brother has searched everywhere he can. Your father is so angry that his blood pressure is going up. You can't hide here forever. " Jin Kui said: "What did my dad say, did he still let me be with that Taiwanese?" Fang Yuan said: "I don't know, your family is doing it for you." Jin Kui glanced at Gao Chun and said, "My dad is not doing it for me, he is doing it for money." Fang Yuan also took a look at Gao Chun, as if this matter had something to do with Gao Chun, then turned around and continued to enlighten Jin Kui: "You are just causing trouble for others by hiding here, and you know your brother's temper, once this place lets him If you come to the door, you must beat Xiao Gao up, and you will also hurt Xiao Gao..." Gao Chun interjected at the door: "Why hit me, I didn't touch his sister a finger!" Fang Yuan lowered his head and lit his cigarette without explaining. Jin Kui said, "Okay, then I'll go back." Only then did Fang Yuan let out the breath hanging in his heart, along with the smoke: "Really." He turned his face to Gao Chun with relief, and smiled at Gao Chun.But Gao Chun didn't smile. Fang Yuan completes the task, bids farewell and leaves.Gao Chun and Jin Kui sent him downstairs together, Fang Yuan might have noticed that Jin Kui had something to say. "Old Fang, can I ask you something?" Jin Kui opened his mouth, Fang Yuan said leisurely, "What's the matter?" Jin Kui turned around, glanced at Gao Chun who was following behind, and said in a low voice: "You know, he also learned to dance, and graduated from Yunlang Art School. How about letting him go to our theater troupe? After practicing for a month, he will be able to dance." recover." Fang Yuan didn't dare to turn around, and replied in a lower voice: "Don't make trouble for me. The troupe is not doing well right now, and the next step is layoffs. Recently, we plan to conduct a full-staff assessment, and the best will survive. But don't worry, No one can cut off your head." Fang Yuan left, and Jin Kui watched his back go away.Gao Chun followed up and asked, "What did he say?" Jin Kui said, "Nothing." When the sun was setting, Gao Chun sent Jin Kui home. Jin Kui's family lives in the new town of Yunlang, which is a brand-new and tacky building.Before getting out of the car, Jin Kui expresses her ambiguous thanks to Gao Chun with the girl's unique coercion. "I have caused you so much trouble these days, have you bothered me?" Gao Chun said: "No, the conditions in my place are too bad, you should be annoyed if you stay any longer. " Jin Kui said: "I took your bed and your mosquito net. You sleep on the roof every day. There are mosquitoes on the roof, and there is a lot of dew at night. I know you've longed for me to go home soon. " Gao Chun said: "No, I'm used to you being with me, but I'm not used to it when you leave." Jin Kui smiled: "Then I wish you a good night's sleep today, we will meet later." Gao Chun nodded, but asked, "Is there... a date?" Jin Kui said: "I don't know." Then he said: "If you want to see me, you will be able to see me. " Gao Chun said: "I'll do more work these two days, earn more money, and then go to your restaurant for dinner. Are you there?" Jin Kui said: "What am I doing there? Go and see my performance. Our troupe may have a performance in a few days. I will ask Lao Fang to help you get two tickets. Do you have a girlfriend? You can take her to watch with you. " "Girlfriend?" Gao Chun said, "I always thought that I would spend my whole life with dancing, so I delayed finding a girlfriend." Jin Kui said: "Shall I help you find one in our group, and also find a dancer?" Gao Chun stammered: "No need..." Then said: "Ah, good!" Jin Kui said, "What do you like to look like?" Gao Chun stared at Jin Kui without answering. Jin Kui avoided his gaze and also avoided the topic.She opened the car door and said, "Thank you for your hospitality these two days, it's true." Jin Kui pushed the door to get out of the car, and Gao Chun said behind her: "You're welcome." Before Jin Kui closed the car door, Gao Chun called her back again: "Hey," he said, "If you help me find someone with you The same... People who love dancing like you, then we owe nothing to anyone." Jin Kui looked back at Gao Chun, and slammed the car door. After breaking up with Jin Kui, Gao Chun was driving on the road, feeling a little lonely for some reason. He sent the car to Master Li's home, and Master Li checked the car as usual, and the car was intact as usual. It was getting late, so Gao Chun ordered a bowl of plain noodles and slowly drank a bottle of beer at a food stall on the street.In the corner of the food stall, there is an old TV that should have been scrapped long ago. There is a dance program on the TV. Of course it is not from the Yunlang Song and Dance Troupe, but Gao Chunxin yearns for it. After drinking, Gao Chun was depressed, wandered aimlessly in the street for a while, and then walked home bored.He climbed up the attic along the dark stairs, and when he opened the door with the key, he suddenly heard some noise behind him. Looking back, he saw a figure standing in the corner.The ray of moonlight shining through the door illuminated the outline of the man, making Gao Chun scream in surprise. "Golden sunflower?" Gao Chun didn't expect the phrase "there will be a period later" to come so quickly, making him unable to tell whether he should be flustered or surprised.He brought Jinkui into the hut, and wiped the blood on Jinkui with warm water. The Jinkui under the desk lamp was full of scars, and the two lines of tears were even more striking, which made Gao Chun feel righteous indignation! "I think the Taiwanese didn't want to invest in your restaurant at all. They were fishing for the investment. Why did your father and brother take their anger on you!" Jin Kui actually explained for his father: "I have lived according to my father's will since I was a child, so this time my father is very difficult to tolerate..." "Then you can't be so ruthless. Isn't he afraid of hurting you? How can you dance if you lose your face?" Jin Kui said: "My dad stopped letting me dance, and asked me to go to the restaurant to help him with sales. He said that I quarreled with him, he hit me, and I ran out..." Gao Chun didn't understand: "Do sales, let you?" Jin Kui nodded, and she said, "That restaurant is the lifeblood of our family." That night, Gao Chun cooked hot porridge for Jinkui on the rooftop with a kerosene stove, and brought the pot into the house.Before he had time to put the pot on the table, the door of the small attic was knocked loudly. The two panicked, and Gao Chun asked, "Who is it?" while quickly pulling Jin Kui to hide on the rooftop.After he closed the door of the rooftop, he asked again with hesitation: "Who is it?" The second time he answered outside the door: "Does Gao Chun live here?" Gao Chun restrained his heartbeat and resolutely opened the door. Through the dim light of the desk lamp inside the room, he saw clearly that there was only a lonely figure outside the door.It was a tall and thin man. Gao Chun calmed down and his voice returned to calm. "who are you looking for?" "Are you Gao Chun?" "May I ask who is calling?" "My surname is Jiang, and I'm from Beijing." This uninvited guest sat on the only chair in the pavilion, with a glass of white water Gao Chun poured for him beside him.Jin Kui no longer hid behind the door of the roof, but leaned against the door, silently watching the two men sitting across the table.The stranger surnamed Jiang was about sixty years old, his body was as thin as paper, and his voice was as loud as copper. "I met your mother more than 20 years ago. I still remember that she has fair skin and long black hair. I remember her name is Jiang Changhong. Am I right?" Gao Chun stood opposite Mr. Jiang, and he said, "Yes, my mother is very beautiful, and she cut her hair short later." Mr. Jiang stared at Gao Chun's face for a moment, and said: "You have grown up so much, you are also a good-looking talent just like your mother." Gao Chun said, "Are you my mother's friend?" Mr. Jiang said, "No, I am your father's friend." Gao Chun was stunned unexpectedly. He glanced at Jin Kui by the door, and then said hostilely to Mr. Jiang: "I don't have a father." Mr. Jiang had a peaceful face: "Without a father, how could there be you." Gao Chun insisted on his resentment: "If a person gives birth to me and refuses to raise me, then he is not qualified to let me call him father." Mr. Jiang said: "He created you. You are the continuation of his body, hair and skin, and a part of his life. He is your father in blood and law. This is a fact. He just didn't fulfill his father's promise. responsibility, but no one can change that fact." Gao Chun's eyes were red, and he said: "I never felt that I still have a father. My mother is gone, and I have no relatives in this world for a long time. I have always lived by myself. I am alone and support myself. Live well." Gao Chun's tears were shining, and Jin Kui was moved.Mr. Jiang's face became extraordinarily kind: "Your father is ill, he is very ill. Illness can sometimes make people look back on their lives. He is very sorry for you and your mother. He wants to find you. He is very sorry for his failure. I am responsible for making compensation, so I entrusted me to find you. I just found out that your mother passed away the year before last. But I am very happy that I finally found you. I want to tell you that you still have relatives. From now on, You will have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life!" Mr. Jiang's announcement made Gao Chun and Jin Kui look at each other again. The expression on his face at that moment was either contempt or shock. That night, after Mr. Jiang left, Gao Chun Jinkui had a dispute - it was about Gao Chun's father who suddenly appeared. Gao Chun said: "I don't know whether my mother didn't find my father or couldn't find my father these years, but I know how much my mother has suffered all these years in order to support me and let me go to school and art school. How tired. If my father is really such a rich boss, why didn't he give us a little help?" But Jin Kui thinks: "Everyone makes mistakes for a while. Besides, didn't he send someone to find you now? Didn't he admit that he was sorry for you? Didn't he say that he wanted to help you? Anyway, he did your father." Gao Chun was still brooding: "What did he do long ago? He didn't come out until my mother was gone, what did he do long ago! He used to treat us like that, but now he's getting older and wants to make his conscience feel better. I don't want to Make it easy for him. I have to make him understand that money can't buy everyone!" Jin Kui said: "How can this be called bribery? Why does he bribe you? He is your father. He is old and misses you. You are his son. There is nothing a son can't forgive for his father. " Gao Chun said: "Then why don't you go home, why don't you go back and forgive your father?" Jin Kui said: "It's not that I don't forgive my dad, it's that my dad doesn't forgive me. The situation between me and my dad is different from yours. Why did it involve me?" At noon the next day, Mr. Jiang hosted a banquet for Jin Kui and Gao Chun in the hotel where he was staying.Gao Chun's family background was still the main topic during the meeting.Because Mr. Jiang drank a little white wine alone, his words were filled with excitement. "Your grandfather's name was Gao Delong. On the morning of your father's birth, he dreamed that a big snake slept on his bed, and your father was born an hour later. So your grandfather named your father Longsheng, after It means the reincarnation of Tianlong. Xiaolong is also another name for snake. These are all chatted when your father and I were in college together." Mr. Jiang's face was full of red, Gao Chun listened indifferently, but Jin Kui, who was outside the office, was afraid of the cold scene, so he had nothing to do with Mr. Jiang. "Then what exactly is Gao Chun's father doing now?" When talking about Gao Chun's father now, Mr. Jiang became concise: "He later went into business and started a company, which has done quite well." "What does that company do?" Mr. Jiang said: "It does everything. The name of the company is Baibai Company, which is like an encyclopedia. It contains everything. The name of the company was calculated by a master of yin and yang." Mr. Jiang turned to Jin Kui and said : "Mr. Gao Longsheng really knows everything, does everything, and succeeds in everything. He has earned a lot of money over the years." Gao Chun interjected coldly: "Earning money is success?" Of course, Mr. Jiang could hear the sharpness in the young man's words. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed for his old classmate, and explained gently: "Your father...in fact, he has always missed you. After all, you are his own flesh and blood. His wife He passed away this year, and his own body collapsed. Now he can only lie on the hospital bed, and he can only ask me, an old friend who once met your mother, to come to you. He asked me to come to you without telling his family. " Gao Chun's tone was even colder: "You mean, he wants to find my son, but he doesn't want this son who is disgraceful to him to be known." Mr. Jiang shook his head: "No, he wants people to know, he wants the whole world to know that he has a son." Gao Chun asked again coldly: "Does he not care about his family? Does he not care about his reputation? Do his relatives and friends who don't care about him know that he had an illegitimate child twenty years ago?" Mr. Jiang shook his head: "Don't worry about it anymore, because he is terminally ill." Both Gao Chun and Jin Kui were a little surprised, they looked at each other silently, after a while, Gao Chun continued his viciousness: "So, he wants to wipe out the wrong things he did in the last time of his life. For me and my mother, it is our life, for him, it is just one thing." Jin Kui could tell that Gao Chun was suppressing his excitement, and he vented his inner resentment with a pretended calm demeanor.Jin Kui looked helplessly at the two men, the old and the young, and heard them touch each other's souls. "You will grow up slowly in the future, and you will also face birth, old age, sickness and death, but you must not realize now that when a person is about to die, his words are kind and his heart is kind. Your father wants to find you, it is human instinct , is a good instinct, you should not refuse." Mr. Jiang maintained the solemnity of the elders in his tone.Gao Chun fell silent, and for a while, he calmed down as much as possible, and asked, "Since he wanted to recognize me, why did he hide it from his family? Since he has no scruples, why did he let you do this?" Looking for me secretly?" Mr. Jiang replied: "Because he made a will without telling his relatives and friends, he decided in this will that after his death, the encyclopedia company he founded by himself will continue to be run by the daughter born to him and his wife. , and his personal savings and real estate will be inherited by you. Before he finds you, he does not want his daughter, that is, your half-sister, to know that he made such a will. Because your sister may not want With a younger brother like you who popped up out of nowhere to share the wealth that should have been exclusive to her." Gao Chun was stunned, and said, "His illness...my father's illness, is it very serious? To the point of making a will?" Mr. Jiang nodded: "Maybe, he can live for many years, but maybe, he won't survive tomorrow. He suffered from esophageal cancer and a serious heart disease, so he made a will. He was worried that he would leave suddenly, worried about the future. It was too late to make arrangements. In order not to let this matter leak before he found you, he did not hire the company's lawyer, but handed over his will to me, entrusted me to handle the notarization for him, and entrusted me to find your mother and son. I have worked in the Institute of Law of the Academy of Social Sciences for many years, so I can be regarded as a legal worker. As your father's client, I will preside over and supervise the execution of the will from now on." Gao Chun and Jin Kui looked at each other, but they were all silent up to now. That night, Gao Chun and Jin Kui sat on the edge of the roof of the attic, looking at the lights of thousands of houses in the small town.They chatted with Mr. Jiang, who came unexpectedly, and expressed their feelings about their past and future. Speaking of the past, Gao Chun would of course talk about the art school that he still reluctantly parted with, but he expressed contempt for the unknown Yunlang art school Jin Kui: "I have been to your art school," Jin Kui said: "Your practice room is too dilapidated. You should go to the province to practice art. Of course, it is best to go to Beijing." Gao Chun said: "The practice room is broken, but I grew up there. It seems that my ideals and my youth are all left there." Jin Kui said: "I'm not advising you to inherit your father's family business. Since you agreed to meet your father with Mr. Jiang today, why can't you go to Beijing Dance Academy with your father's help? Beijing Dance Academy, You don't want to go to school there?" Gao Chun said: "I take the exam by myself, what does it have to do with my dad?" Jin Kui said: "Going to college costs 10,000 to 20,000 a year in tuition fees, plus food, clothing, housing and transportation. There is no one who can't afford 20,000. 20,000 doesn't depend on your father, do you have it?" Gao Chun stopped talking. Jin Kui said: "I've decided, I want to go to Beijing with you. I can find a mass cultural center or children's palace to be a dance teacher. When I earn enough money, I will also go to the Beijing Dance Academy! I have inquired about it." Yes, Beijing Dance Academy has undergraduate, junior college and vocational classes, as well as advanced training classes. I think as long as I raise enough money, I can always get into a class." Gao Chun thought for a while, looked at Jin Kui, and said, "Okay, then let's go to Beijing together, and then go to Kaobei Dance Academy together!" It was impossible for Gao Chun to imagine that in just two days, he met a beautiful girl and a mysterious old man, and then his fate changed suddenly.Early the next morning, he and Jin Kui packed their bags and met Mr. Jiang at the Yunlang Hotel.Gao Chun helped Mr. Jiang carry his luggage out of the hotel gate, and everyone got into Master Li's car together. From Yunlang to Tongyuan Airport, which is more than 100 kilometers away, is a hard-won job for the taxi driver. The high-purity fertilizer and water will not flow to outsiders, so Master Li was invited. Master Li's Fukang car was speeding up on the road, and Jin Kui talked with Mr. Jiang who was sitting in the front seat.The topic that Jin Kui is passionate about still hasn't left dance.The half-white-haired Mr. Jiang is no stranger to dancing, and he even advised Jin Kui along the way: "It's very convenient if you want to go dancing. There are many song and dance troupes in Beijing." Jin Kui's problem is very realistic. Duo: "Is the singing and dancing troupe in Beijing easy to get into? How much money can you earn a month?" Mr. Jiang probably doesn't know how much money he can earn, but he knows that the degree of commercialization of the art of dance is not very high. I'm afraid I can't make a fortune dancing. "But if you really like dancing, Gao Chun's father should be able to help you." Jin Kui glanced at Gao Chun, Gao Chun was silent, Jin Kui had no choice but to say to Mr. Jiang: "We don't want to rely entirely on Gao Chun's Dad, we want to earn money to go to the dance academy." Mr. Jiang said: "If you want to earn money, you don't have to go to the song and dance troupe. There are many leisure and fitness clubs in Beijing that offer body dance classes. Those clubs are rich people. If you go there to teach basic dancing skills, your income should not be low.” Jin Kui immediately beamed, “Do you have any acquaintances in those places?” Mr. Jiang shook his head, but said, “Gao Chun’s father送过我一张会员卡，那个俱乐部除了形体健身还有游泳池，还有桑拿浴，好多项目呢，不过我去了一次就再没去过。” 蒋先生从身上的钱夹里，翻出了那张会员卡，递给身后的金葵看：“就这个，送你吧，我对游泳健身没什么爱好。送你吧，你不去当教练去那地方玩玩也可以嘛。” 金葵接了那张会员卡，卡上“观湖俱乐部”几个凸镂的金字，确实凸显着富贵的尊荣。蒋先生扯开话题转向高纯，对高纯晋见父亲做了最后的提醒。 “高纯啊，咱们事先可得说好了，你父亲现在的身体非常不好，你见到他以后就不要再说刺激他的话了。俗话说：天下没有不是的父母。你父亲即便有不是，也已经是历史了，历史就让它过去吧。做晚辈的，孝字为先，可以吗？” 高纯闷闷地点头，说：“噢，我知道。” 汽车向着机场的方向，开了很久很久。车上的闲谈中断之后，蒋先生随即鼾声大作。正午时分，李师傅把车停在路边，下车到一家餐馆去接开水，高纯和金葵也下车打算买点吃的。蒋先生醒了一瞬，倦意未尽，对高纯表示不吃饭了，复又睡去。高纯和金葵在小餐馆买了几瓶矿泉水和一笼包子，朝路边的车子慢步走回。李师傅也拎着一只保温杯出了餐馆，跟着他们边走边唱，野腔无调的戏文压不住公路上载重卡车隆隆的呼啸，那威风凛凛的车轮声让路人无不小心避让。高纯和金葵都感觉到脚下的公路地震般的颤抖，卡车巨大的身影遮云蔽日，卷起路边浮面的飞沙走石，紧接着他们听到一声更大的巨响，随即看到从身后挟风而来的那辆载重卡车，直直地撞上了泊于路边的小小的富康。一切发生的如此突然，有如白日做梦一样。在腾起的烟尘中备显渺小的富康轿车刹那变形，向路基一侧飞了出去。当烟尘刚刚散去的那刻，李师傅最先反应过来，步履歪斜地跑过去了。高纯和金葵则目瞪口呆地站在原地，惊恐地看着李师傅赖以生存的主要工具，顷刻之间化为乌有。 那个瞬间他们只能有一个共同的闪念——即将改变他们人生命运的那个蒋先生，显然已和富康的残骸同归于尽！
