After being ruthlessly abandoned by Zhao Shimei, Jiang Feng's hard days did not come to an end.

That year, after returning to Wutong Village from the capital Yanjing with a divorce agreement and 600 yuan, Jiang Feng's father, who already had high blood pressure and various geriatric diseases, was so angry that he couldn't afford to get sick, and lay in bed for more than two years.

After Jiang Feng's father died, Jiang Feng was a mute woman with his two-year-old daughter who was only two years old for the first time to beg for a life in Wutong Village.

Until 85 years, someone in the village saw her orphan and widow, life was difficult, Jiang Feng was a dumb person who couldn't take care of big things, so he introduced her, and the object was Chu Dapeng, who lived in the slums of Hongshan Lane.

Chu Dapeng is a second-rate old bachelor, thirty years old has not yet courted his mother-in-law, but with Jiang Feng's situation at that time, she was a mute, divorced, family difficulties, with a few years old daughter for the first time, the reputation of divorced women in that era was not good, it was already very good that someone was willing to marry her, and she was also a city person who was envied by farmers in that era.

After the two got married, Jiang Feng obeyed Chu Dapeng's arrangement, and Chu Dapeng sold her family's only ancestral house and a pig, and moved to Hongshan Lane to live with Chu Dapeng.

After moving to Hongshan Lane, the two lived unhurriedly for a while, Jiang Feng did some needlework at home and took care of the children, and Chu Dapeng sold coolies in the cement factory, although he lived in poverty, he could also run the family well.

Maybe men are like this, when they first get married, they will have a sense of responsibility, a kind of responsibility, consciously or unconsciously suppressed the previous bad problems, in the Jiangchuan area, after their children get married, the old people in the family will say such an old saying: Now that you are married, you should be sensible.

In that era, according to the habitual thinking of most people in China, the dividing line between boys and men is not age, but marriage, before marriage, it is understandable that you are messing around outside, after marriage, you should be sensible, take on the responsibility of the head of the family, so many men are good at eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling before marriage, and immediately become a living person after marriage, and change all the bad things before.

Chu Dapeng is such a person.

Married for less than a year, Chu Dapeng began to hang Erlang up, the work of the cement factory for three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, usually lazy to do, meals to drink, drunk and crazy, domestic violence Jiang Feng and the first sight, gambling vices did not fall, and even intensified, a little money went to the nearby mahjong parlor to gamble, the family was completely defeated.

In 1988, when Chu Dapeng's second daughter Chuxin was one year old, there was a bacterial infection, which caused meningitis and high fever.

At that time, Hatsumi was already 11 years old and sensible.

She still remembers the incident vividly.

Sitting on the green grass, she told Zhang Yunqi: " I remember that night, the original heart of repeated fever suddenly became sluggish, arched like a shrimp, very stiff, and kept vomiting, but the family had no money to treat her, and all the money in the family was spent by my stepfather drinking and playing cards, and in the early morning of the day my sister became ill, he didn't know where to go to drink and play cards, and my mother was a dumb person who couldn't read big words, and didn't know what to do, so she ran outside to find him, and when she dragged him back to the health center for an examination, it was too late. ”

Zhang Yunqi was silent for a moment and said, "If you have the chance, are you willing to take your mother and sister away from him?"

Chujian pale little face smiled faintly: "Actually, since I was sensible, I have thought so, I hope that I can work harder, be admitted to college, make money to pick up my mother and sister, escape from this home, escape from Chu Dapeng." He was a nightmare to me, Yunqi, do you know why I was always the first to go to school and the last to leave the classroom? Because since I was in the second year of junior high school, Chu Dapeng began to be rude to me and entered my room without clothes. ”

"I don't dare to tell my mother about this, I'm afraid that she will collapse, I can only go to the house as little as possible, I will never let him succeed, I will not let him touch me. Speaking of this, Hatsumi took out a switchblade from his pocket and said quietly, "Every time I come home from school, I will prepare this for myself." ”

Zhang Yunqi turned his head to look at her.

He never thought that this girl, who was so liked in school, would live under the clutches of such dirty, violent and perverted, and face the test of life and death every day in addition to studying peacefully.

Life has imposed too much suffering on this girl, but she has never mentioned half a sentence to anyone, even today, if she hadn't bumped into herself, I'm afraid she would never know. Maybe no one knows that this girl who comes out of the mud looks weak and slender on the outside, but she is so stubborn on the inside.

At this moment, when she opened her heart, she saw an indescribable tiredness on her clear little face for the first time, she looked up at the starry sky, her eyes were fluorescent, and suddenly said: "Yunqi, can I lend you a shoulder?"

"Huh?"

"I'm a little tired. ”

Zhang Yunqi stretched out his hand and hugged Chujian into his arms.

Hatsumi buried his head in his chest, and tears flowed out at once.

"Yunqi, you know what? Since I was sensible, I have said to myself every day: first sight, you must be strong, maybe life is very hard, maybe life is very unfortunate, but your struggle, no one can see, no one can understand, then, you don't need to be afraid, if you go through thousands of mountains and rivers, you will also find that people who have a lot of things in this world may not live well, the poor people in this world can also be kind and have happiness, there is no need to be afraid of the tribulations that life gives you, loneliness, you should be stronger. ”

By then, the night was already deep.

The surroundings are very quiet, the moon is on the top, there is a moon in the night sky, there are stars, on that green grass, Zhang Yunqi hugged the slender and soft girl, after a long time, he reached out to wipe away the tears on her little face, and said with a smile: "It's okay, first sight, you must believe me, everything will be fine." ”

The girl's head rested on his chest, listening to the powerful heartbeat, smelling the faint smell of his body, and the mood seemed to slowly stabilize, and she let out a soft "um".

Zhang Yunqi said again: "At first sight, let's put aside those unpleasant ones, just like you said, the poor people in this world can also be kind and happy, there is no need to be afraid of difficulties, and have you forgotten that today is still a very important day." ”

Chu Jian was stunned: "What important day?"

Zhang Yunqi reached out and took out a white Aihua Walkman and a pair of headphones from his pocket, stuffed one of the earbuds into his ear, and handed the other to Chujian.

Hatsumi hesitated for a moment, then took the earbuds and put them on.

Zhang Yunqi pressed the Walkman player, and then, a light and pleasant birthday song sounded inside: "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you......"
