Chapter 0145: Living for Love and Finding the Same Roots
Fang Tianlai recalled the past eighteen years ago, and that scene seemed to be right in front of him.
"Child, you are now grown up and should be able to understand and bear all this, so I only told you today. ”
He was worried that Bai Lu would not be able to accept all this, and he was very uneasy. Naturally, Bai Lu could never have imagined that her life experience would be so tragic and tortuous.
"After ...... What happened? It's just a story, isn't it......" Bai Lu couldn't help but ask, still wondering if what her father was telling was true or false.
But she knew in her heart that she had no reason to doubt. In her mind, Fang Tianlai has always been her dearest father, the most dependent and trusted person, how could her father be willing to make up such a lie to make herself sad?
She tried her best to suppress the pain, raised her face and asked:
"My own mother is dead, is it ...... Is my nursery rhyme mom dead too?"
She knew what the outcome would be, but she really didn't want to believe that it was true. It was as if that tragic scene had appeared in her mind......
"Yes......" Fang Tianlai replied bitterly, followed by a long silence. After a long time, he twitched his cheeks and sighed in pain:
"Your nursery rhyme mom...... She lasted less than twenty days in the hospital, stopped breathing on the twenty-second day of my acquaintance, and left us forever......!
"......" Bai Lu finally knew why her father didn't like lullaby, her heart hurt even more, and she finally couldn't help crying:
"Mom! Mommy...... Woo woo, I'm sorry for you! I'm sorry for you......"
Bai Lu's grief was like a dam that opened the floodgates, and she cried and whimpered for a while, and she was in pain.
Fang Tianlai looked at his daughter who couldn't cry, feeling that his heart was dripping blood, his internal organs were as uncomfortable as a knife, and the whole person was about to be hollowed out.
"No, girl, all this has nothing to do with you!" he forcibly persuaded Bai Lu with his grief:
"You know, in those twenty days, you gave your mother the happiest and best time! She was inseparable from you every day, eating and sleeping together, and singing nursery rhymes to you...... She takes care of you like a real mother and loves you. It was you who made her experience the happiness of being a mother. Until the last moment of leaving, she, your nursery rhyme mother, was smiling happily......"
"Mom, Mom, ......" Bai Lu broke his liver and intestines, burst into tears, and cried out sadly.
Although she knew that her mother had passed away since she was a child, her father Fang Tianlai only told her that she was sick and died, and that kind of illness was very slow and slow, like falling asleep, without the slightest pain.
Now, when she suddenly knew that her two relatives had died so tragically, how could she accept it.
"Don't be upset, child...... It's all over!" Fang Tianlai also wiped a handful of tears and persuaded.
"No! no...... They all died for me! all because of my ......."
Bai Lu resented himself vigorously, hating that he had burdened his relatives, and he should not have come to this world.
"Alas......" Fang Tianlai sat down with her trembling shoulders, his tone was heavy with relief, and he deeply comforted:
"Son, human life is short...... Although they have left us, they have done what they should have done, and we should be proud of them! No matter where we go in the future, as long as we always remember them in our hearts and do what they want to do for them, it is actually the same as being with them......
Fang Tianlai comforted Bai Lu, and his face seemed to gradually calm down. In fact, his heart is not painful, but for so many years, he has let go of everything.
In order to raise Bai Lu, he applied for demobilization and returned to his hometown in Fangjiayan, Yongde.
In fact, his parents and elderly people died of hunger and illness during the three-year natural disaster. Fortunately, most of the people in the village are surnamed Fang, and they usually can't be taken care of.
In this way, Fang Tianlai has been like a day for eighteen years, being both a father and a mother with a handful of and urine, and finally pulled Bai Lu to grow up.
Bai Lu has been smart and sensible since she was a child, and she is beautiful and cute, which has always been Fang Tianlai's greatest pride. Therefore, everyone you see must boast about yourself first.
Seeing his daughter growing up day by day, he began to be idle, and traveled south to the ends of the earth to break through the rivers and lakes.
However, he is not wandering blindly, and he has several purposes for every place he goes:
The first is to find out the old comrades-in-arms of their own units, understand their living conditions, and organize everyone to help each other.
The second is to ask people everywhere to inquire about the whereabouts of Bai Lu's lost siblings. Because he later learned from a hospital in Hebei that a young couple from another province had adopted their child. However, the adopter's file was not found after several turnovers. So Fang Tianlai started looking for a needle in a haystack with the mentality of trying it out.
The third is that he is a man with a lively heart and an economic mind, and he takes advantage of the convenience of going south and north to make some local specialties or other profitable transactions to generate income and get rich.
Not to mention that in the past few years, he has not only made a lot of money himself, but also led many old comrades-in-arms who are struggling on the survival line in remote areas to embark on the road to prosperity.
He has experienced too much in the past eighteen years, and many things have really been seen and downplayed. So his temperament is also more open-minded and straightforward, and he always looks like he is grinning.
But those unforgettable memories were reminded in front of him, and he felt that it was time for Bai Lu to know the truth.
"Girl, you have to understand, if you want to be worthy of your deceased relatives, you must live well, because your life is what they bought with their lives, and you must cherish yourself as you cherish them!
Fang Tianlai deeply inspired Bai Lu, he hoped that Bai Lu would understand the meaning of life and be able to face all the difficulties and challenges in the world with perseverance.
Bai Lu gradually stopped crying, wiped her tears and slowly got up, held back her sobs and said:
"Dad, I listen to you! I've lost two mothers...... I can't lose you again!woowoowoo......"
Bai Lu lay in Fang Tianlai's arms and cried again.
"Hey, good boy, don't cry!" Fang Tianlai gently patted Bai Lu's back, held her face for a long time to wipe away her tears, and gave her a strong smile.
However, he then turned his face away, paused for a moment, and sighed worriedly:
"Alas, it's a pity that I haven't heard about your lost sister of the same child until now, I hope she goes to a good family! If I can find her and reunite the two of you, I will have no regrets in my life......"
At this time, Bai Lu suddenly remembered something, wiped her tears and said, "I may have seen her, she is in Yongde!"
"What, have you seen her? she's in Yongde!" Fang Tianlai couldn't believe his ears when he heard Bai Lu say this.
"Really! Her name is Tian Tian, I can guarantee it's her!" Bai Lu said excitedly, her intuition told her that the short-haired boy she saw on the street that day must be her sister, and it must be the Tian Tian that Ma Zizi had been hiding.
When Bai Lu told Fang Tianlai all this, Fang Tianlai was surprised and delighted. Hurry up and clean up with Bai Lu, and prepare to be discharged from the hospital to find someone.
"To find Sweetie, you have to find Ma Zizi first, he must know more than we do!" Bai Lu reminded.
"Yes, the two of us have thought of it together, we still need to tie the bell to untie the bell, go find that lame boy first!" Fang Tianlai's long-cherished wish for many years had a clue, and he couldn't help but forget his previous sadness and troubles and agreed loudly.
However, at this moment, the pestle was hovering outside the low wall of the shack courtyard. He had the next difficult and big decision on his mind......
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Grandma's painful cough came from the shack, followed by a series of uneasy sighs.
The eldest sister Yang Xinhua stayed with her and kept comforting: "Don't worry, my brother has a big life, not to mention that there is also that Zhang Fart who pretends to be crazy and stupid all day long, but is actually better than a monkey, I am sure it's okay!"
"Alas, this boy has a good heart, and I am afraid that if he has a ...... Ahem, cough, cough ......" Grandma Liang couldn't help but cough again.
Outside the wall, the pestle listened to their conversation, closed his eyes sadly, and sighed sadly in his heart:
"Grandma, you are looking at the wrong person! When did I have a good heart? I made you frightened and disrupted your peaceful life! But now, ...... But I will forsake you......"
