It's dawn.

Jiang Heshui sat quietly on the edge of the bed, his heart pounding. The door over there opened. Then, there was another knock on the door.

Jiang Heshui opened the door, and saw that the two of them were very excited, and Zheng Shujun was obviously a little shy.

"Second brother, wait for me to come back at noon, I have something to say to Shujun and I. He wanted to say it now, but there was something urgent to deal with outside.

"Okay, come back early. It's cold outside, don't catch a cold. Jiang Heshui also sent the two out of the door unusually.

The old couple listened to the idea of the river and water, and they were stunned for a long time, and no one could speak. The river water hugged the little casual edge, swaying clumsily, and I didn't know what it was like in my heart.

"I think it's good to have a mother, it's better for a child to have a mother than anything else. The old man said.

The old lady rushed to the river, "This kid is better to follow anyone than to follow you." ”

"That's it. Jiang Heshui smiled, "This time your second elder can stop." ”

"Stop fart!" the old lady snatched the words, "those two are not in the house all day, who else can I take this child if I don't take it?"

"Take it with you, isn't it idle to do anyway?" the old man became a good person, "Besides, Xiao Linzi is not an outsider, what is the difference between him and his own son over the years." ”

When the old lady heard her wife say this, she actually sighed: "If you want to talk about Xiaolinzi, then he has made the greatest contribution and the most filial piety among your brothers." She focused her gaze on Jiang Heshui's face, "The most defeated one belongs to you." Tell me, how much money have you borrowed from me since you got married?

The old lady somehow turned up her little belly. Jiang Heshui smiled, "Who made you my mother." As he spoke, he sent Xiao Suiyuan into the old lady's arms, "Xiao Linzi asked me to wait for him at noon, saying that he had something to say to me." I guess the designation is also for the sake of small casual fate. These two people are pointed, and they may have been thinking about this all night last night. ”

Jiang Heshui figured it out, who raised the child for the two of them, anyway, they couldn't leave each other's vision. He thought it was a great event...... So I went to the vegetable market in person and bought some things that I was usually reluctant to eat.

At half past eleven, the river water sorted out a few dishes...... There was movement outside the door, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that it was Zheng Shujun who had entered his door. After about ten minutes, with a fluting sound, Xiao Linzi broke into the door a little impatiently.

He first called his father and mother, "Huh, Shujun hasn't come back yet?"

"I'm back, in the house. Jiang Heshui put the last dish on the table.

"What's the matter, brother?" Xiao Linzi looked at the dishes on the table, "It seems that there is something good about today?"

Jiang Heshui pointed at him with his finger, "You kid, don't pretend to be confused, be careful that I will make you regret it for the rest of your life." Although he said it harshly, there was a smile on his face that could not be erased.

"Oh mom, you don't dare to borrow my guts. Xiao Linzi wanted to continue to say something, but was called over by the old lady.

The old lady gave him the little fate, "Take your daughter over and let her mother take a good look, rare!"

Xiao Linzi never imagined that all the people would put the same thing together, and he was so overjoyed that he didn't know what to say, and he was excited for a while, and suddenly rushed out of the door with the child in his arms.

"Wife—your girl is here!" Xiao Linzi was excited, but was shocked by the scene in front of him: he saw Zheng Shujun sitting on the sofa again, with a pale face and dull eyes without saying a word.

Xiao Linzi really didn't know what was going on, so he sat down next to her, "What's wrong wife, do you regret it?"

Zheng Shujun turned her face sideways to look at Xiao Suiyuan, shook her head gently, and then touched her little face with a trembling hand.

"What's the reason for that?" Xiao Linzi was anxious, "Is there anyone bullying you?" No matter what she asked, she just didn't squeak.

At this time, everyone heard the sound and was shocked. The old lady hurriedly took Xiao Suiyuan from Xiao Linzi's hand. Seeing that Zheng Shujun was stupid, Jiang Heshui thought badly and felt the seriousness of the incident.

The old lady asked Xiao Linzi to get up, next to Zheng Shujun: "Shujun, just say what you have to do, ah? Don't be bored in your heart, we have to think about everything." You see, you're a mother. What could be more important than this? In the future, Mom will help you take care of the children during the day and let you take them at night. Xiao Suiyuan is sensible, and he is not troublesome at all. ”

No matter who persuaded her, Zheng Shujun was always silent, and suddenly two lines of tears burst down. She suffered from mild "autism" when she was a child, and although she was cured under the careful care of her parents, she still forged her withdrawn and indifferent personality. But many years have passed, and there has never been an anomaly like today. Something major must have happened? It must have been a fatal blow to her mentally. Xiao Linzi thought to himself, at a loss.

"Let's go to the hospital for a check-up first. Xiao Linzi, you go to her unit in the afternoon to ask, and see what happened. "The disposal and suggestions of river water have won the approval of Xiaolinzi.

A miracle happened in an instant: maybe Zheng Shujun heard that she was going to be sent to the hospital, shook her head again and again, and waved her hands again and again, but she actually smiled, and her consciousness suddenly became much more sober. This relieved everyone......

In the afternoon, Xiao Linzi went to Zheng Shujun's unit and inquired about it, and he understood everything, and his heart was much more steady. Isn't it just laid-off! He thought to himself, he didn't take this seriously at all.

In fact, things are far from being as simple as Xiao Linzi imagined. Zheng Shujun has been working for the water company for almost 15 years. The water company is also a hegemon in the state-owned enterprise industry, and the salary and benefits are guaranteed. She has always been an accountant and has never made any obvious mistakes in her work. There are a total of five accountants and cashiers under the financial department, all of whom are women. When the finance department was given a laid-off place, she was full of confidence in the face of any opponent and did not have any psychological obstacles. Because, no matter in terms of education, qualifications and professional ability, she is a beautiful person, and there is no competitor at all.

But she never expected that something that was contrary to normal logic and very absurd happened. The section chiefs and deputy section chiefs claimed that for the sake of fairness and justice, they decided to draw lots to determine the future fate of the five women. Zheng Shujun was a little panicked at this time, wanting to refuse this absurd and unruly game but not having the courage. Four colleagues put their hands into the camera obscura, and everyone was in a burst of joy and ecstasy when they opened the lot. After Zheng Shujun was dizzy for a while, she didn't touch the last dead lot that had already decided her fate, but silently tidied up the desk and left.

Zheng Shujun was still in a trance, and Chrysostom couldn't open.

Xiao Linzi came back, his expression was the same as when he went out, and he easily explained the truth of the matter as usual.

"That's normal. "Jiang Heshui didn't take it seriously," we are not the only ones who have been laid off, and now the whole country is making trouble. Come down, we won't have to look at other people's faces in the future. ”

"The second brother is right. Xiao Linzi put his arm around Zheng Shujun's shoulder, "In the future, you will take Xiao Suiyuan at home, and our family will be more beautiful than anything else." Don't worry about anything else, I'll take care of our boys better than those who haven't been laid off. Shujun, a wife. You really want to open it, don't let everyone worry about you, huh?"

If Xiao Linzi deliberately goes out for a day, he can earn more than Zheng Shujun's half a month's salary, and the days to come can be described as more than rich. But Zheng Shujun was heartbroken, and it had nothing to do with the amount of money, so she could only rely on time to appease the old man day by day.

It's getting colder. Zheng Shujun still didn't think about tea and dinner, and became more and more haggard. She was mentally stimulated, and although the doctor prescribed some medicines, he finally recommended psychological counseling.

Xiao Linzi therefore adjusted everything outside. He is a freelancer, and now he can only go with his wife, and he puts a bright red jacket on her every day. The red jacket was specially sewn for her by the old lady last year.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of this day, Jiang Heshui was about to go out to buy milk powder for Xiao Suiyuan, when suddenly Xiao Linzi broke into the door and looked panicked.

"Is Shujun there?" he held two mouth-watering strings of sugar gourds in his hands.

"No, what's the matter?" Jiang Heshui looked at him and became nervous.

Xiao Linzi didn't say anything and went back to his house. Jiang Heshui also followed, and saw him look again in the toilet, kitchen, balcony and bedroom in a daze, and finally picked up Zheng Shujun's mobile phone on the coffee table. The mobile phone is turned off, and there has been no communication since Zheng Shujun's accident.

"Don't worry, think about where she can go, is she going back to her parents' house?" Jiang Heshui persuaded him.

"No way, she didn't even have her phone. Besides, she and her mother's family have never dealt with each other, and she only told me what she couldn't do all these years. Now he doesn't even recognize me. Second brother, Shujun has a small heart, I'm afraid she really has three long and two short. Just now she asked me to buy sugar gourds, maybe she was deliberately trying to support me. ”

"What's the hell about that, hurry up and find it!" Jiang Heshui said to the old couple who heard the sound again: "Shujun doesn't know where to go, let's go out and look for it." ”

The old lady reminded them to add an extra piece of clothing, but neither of them paid attention.

Xiao Linzi drove in the imaginary direction, and the two of them recognized everyone in their field of vision,......

"Aren't you going to the train station?" Jiang Heshui hurriedly reminded him, "It's useless to go there." If Shujun can go back to her parents' house, it's not like there's nothing going on. Think about it, where do you two like to go?"

Xiao Linzi woke up from a big dream and immediately changed direction and drove towards a familiar place. Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the bank of the river. He parked his car in front of a shop, and the two of them got out of the car and hurried onto the riverbank road. The slanting sun could not withstand the cold current of Siberia, and a thick layer of ice had formed on the surface of the river on both banks. The river in the center squirms like a giant beast without a head and tail, which makes people feel eerie. Most of the people along the shore are couples, who are snuggling up to each other, infatuatingly weaving beautiful visions of the future, completely unaware that the haggard willows that pass by them have already begun the torment of winter.

The two of them first looked into the distance, and then began to search along the river,......

"I'm afraid it won't work. I said you better look somewhere else, just have me here. Jiang Heshui said.

Xiao Linzi felt reasonable, "Okay, if you have anything, call me, ah?" After speaking, he went down the embankment.

It was already getting dark, and it was getting colder. Jiang Heshui didn't listen to the old lady when he went out, his clothes were thin, and he was shivering from the cold. On the way back, he came across a small forest that had come in a hurry.

Xiao Linzi hurriedly supported the crooked river, and suddenly cried, extremely desperate and painful......

"Don't cry, cry what. Jiang Heshui comforted him, "We can't be discouraged, find a way to continue looking for it." You've looked for all the places you need to look?"

Xiao Linzi couldn't hold back his crying, "I've found everything, and the phone has exploded, but I said I didn't see it." This girl is also small-minded, if she can't think about it because of this little thing, what can she do?"

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Heshui shook off his hand suddenly, "It's you who I look down on." How much effort is it? Just saying such out of tune, and crying. Although he said this, he actually had a sense of foreboding in his heart.

Xiao Linzi didn't say anything, but his nose snorted twice, and he also felt that he was too vulnerable. So he carried the river and walked towards the place where he parked.

Instead of going home, the two went to the police station,......

The next day, when the two of them set foot on the embankment of the Liao River again, the terrible beast was gone—the entire surface of the river was frozen.

......

A month has passed, and Zheng Shujun has not been heard from. Radio and television stations have helped, but to no avail; I don't know how many streets have been posted on the "missing person notice," and the reward of 200,000 yuan has not attracted a single brave man......

Little casual everywhere you can crawl anywhere, and feel new to everything. Almost all the paper products in the house that he could get his hands on were ruined by small things. The old couple was just happy and let her toss. There are toys everywhere on the floor and on the bed, most of which Shujun bought.

These days, Jiang Heshui often looks at Xiao Suiyuan in a daze, and always feels that he has done something sorry for the child.

Although Shujun is withdrawn and sometimes too cold, she is loyal to her husband and kind to others, which is worth remembering. What a good mother just left silently, and I don't know if I can come back in the future? Jiang Heshui said to Xiao Suiyuan next time.

However, he finally made up his mind, if Shujun really never came back, he would go on with Xiao Suiyuan on his shoulders, and he would never give up as far as he could.
