(forty-four)

After a few days of harassment by Zhou Zhitao, Xie Fei came to open the store that morning, and she saw a letter on the ground inside the door, and when she saw that there was no word on the envelope, she took out the paper inside and looked at it. This is a letter written to her by a handful of Mao, and the letter is written crookedly: My name is Qin Qin, everyone calls me a handful of Mao, and the letter I gave you today is mainly to repent and make amends to you. I think you must remember that night more than two years ago, I did something sorry for you, so I have been worrying about it all the time.

At that time, I was really not human, I was doing something hurtful, and my sister also said about me at that time, but I couldn't listen. I always wanted to earn money for raking, but then even my wife and children ran away, and my parents vomited to death for my uncompetitive son.

It was only because the man beat me that night, and he broke my foot, so I couldn't run. If I could still run, I wouldn't necessarily change the turn. So, I want to thank the person who broke my foot, but unfortunately I will never see that person again.

I had a fate that day, so I hit the person who bullied you, and I was afraid that you would be hurt. Another reason is that we are so close that we always have to meet. I don't dare to look up if I want to see you these times, I'm afraid that you will see me, I'm afraid that you won't let go of the harm I did to you before. So I've always been dodgy, I hope never again, I ask you to really see me in the future, don't hate me.

The main thing here is that I didn't read a lot of books, and I was naughty and didn't learn a lot of culture. The main point I am telling you today is that you must forgive me and stop holding grudges against me. I will spend my life to repent to you, and I will repay you for your mistakes no longer holding grudges against me. I beg your pardon for not being able to speak.

Also, I wish you a prosperous business and all the best!

Qin Qin, October 19, 1990

After reading this letter, Xie Fei's heart first rose with hatred, she hated that handful of hair was so vicious at that time. At that time, he didn't want to think about ** her, if it wasn't for Xiaoyu to save him in time, now this handful of hair would be different. Perhaps, if he does bad things since then, he will not be locked up now.

Then she thought of the current performance of a handful of hair, if he hadn't cleared the siege that day, the hooligan would definitely have messed around with her. I'm going to shout, but it's not certain that he can't blind my mouth, like that kind of shameless second-rate person, when he uses his temperament, he is reckless. Thinking about it this way, her hatred for a handful of hairs disappeared a lot.

What's more, the depth of what he said in today's letter, coupled with his performance that day, also proves that he truly knows how to repent. Since he's all like this, it's been so long since he's been in charge, so let's not take care of him.

He also said that he has been hiding from me when he sees me these days, he is just to see me, just like seeing ordinary people, as long as I don't embarrass him. In the end, Xie Fei really forgave a handful of hairs from the bottom of his heart.

A year later, Liu Jiesheng resigned, and the reason for his resignation was that the efficiency of their factory was not as good as before, and the factory had to lay off more than a dozen people. In fact, the factory did not want him to resign, but he himself had to take the initiative to lay off.

He thinks so, because Sheffee's shop has always been doing well, and the store earns a little more than the two of them used to work. But Xie Fei is very tired, but she doesn't say that she is tired, she wants to save some more money, so she endures it.

This time, Liu Jiesheng resigned without discussing with Xie Fei, he said that the efficiency of the factory was poor, so he laid him off, so that Xie Fei would not complain about him.

He also thought like this, he thought that now the two of us are dedicated to opening a store, and we will prepare a variety of goods, so that there will be more business. With two people, you won't be so tired, this money, just look for it leisurely, and don't think about digging out a golden doll with a hoe, or the body is tight.

In this way, Liu Jiesheng took on the purchase of goods at home. Xie Fei used to be delivered by most sellers, so it must have been delivered and there was money to run. Now Liu Jiesheng uses a tricycle, and he himself has bought most of the goods, so that there is a little bit of price difference. Coupled with the variety, their (her) current business is not less than the sum of their salaries with Liu Jiesheng. It didn't take long for them to buy the storefront, and since then there is no rent, and their income is even better.

As the child grew up day by day, this happy and beautiful family continued until the middle of 2002. At this time, they have a certain amount of savings. At this time, Liu Jiesheng's father was already seventy-six years old, and their son was almost thirteen years old.

During this period, they sometimes took a few days off to travel around, and also went to see some of the country's historical sites. This not only left them (them) with good memories, but also relieved their (them) usually for this constant work, and more importantly, made them feel the harmony and happiness of the family, the love of husband and wife, and the beauty of the world.

However, when they (they) were happily feeling this incomparably happy, Liu Jiesheng had been thinking that it was just a general rhinitis nose for the past two years, but he felt more and more wrong. On this day, Xie Fei accompanied him to the big hospital for a serious examination. It's okay if you don't check it, this check is really scary to death, and the result of the examination is that Liu Jiesheng's nose is nasopharyngeal cancer.

This sad news immediately shook the family. Since then, not only has Xie Fei's face lost the laughter of the past and ushered in pain, but the cheerful and open-minded Liu Jiesheng has lost his previous activity, and even Liu Xunfei, a little boy who is not yet thirteen years old, has lost his usual innocence and liveliness. The most difficult thing to accept this major blow is this seventy-six-year-old old man. When he learned the news, not only did his health deteriorate, but he soon fell ill. Since then, the family has been immersed in painful suffering.

In this way, the illness of Liu Jiesheng and his old father not only caused physical pain to their father and son, but also brought a fatal blow to his father and son's spirit. The most unbearable thing is Xie Fei, not only does she have to try her best to take care of the father and son, but she also tries her best to take care of the store's business. What if the usual income is cut off, and this bottomless medical expenses are used up and the only savings are consumed?

But in this case, there must be a delay, you can't often stop and open the store, which will definitely affect the long-term business.

She thought of her niece Xiaoxian, but Xiaoxian was at work, and she couldn't put down her livelihood to help herself. In fact, Xiaoxian and her have been very close to her over the years, because only she is close to her, and they are usually very affectionate.

Later, she remembered that her mother's cousin's daughter was at home waiting for a job after she had gone to college, so she called and asked, and her niece was willing to help her guard the store. In this way, Xie Fei was able to take care of the father and son. However, this niece could only help her for a short time, and after more than two months, she was assigned a job and left, and Xie Fei only closed the store when necessary.

A year later, not only did the father and son's illness not improve, but the condition was getting worse and worse. In order to heal the disease, not only did they use up all their money, but even Xie Fei's body was put into it. Now forty-seven-year-old Xie Fei, not only does her face not have the beauty she used to have, but there are a few wrinkles on her slightly yellowish face, especially at the corners of her eyes.

Since Liu Jiesheng became seriously ill, Xie Fei slept with her son on the bed opposite her (their) bed, so that it was convenient to get up at night to take care of her father and take care of her husband.

One night, Xie Fei sat on the edge of Liu Jiesheng's bed. She took out the photos of them (them) traveling outside over the years, she looked at them one by one, she handed one of them to Liu Jiesheng's eyes, she said: "Remember, our first trip was to Hainan, you see we were so happy and happy at that time." As she spoke, she couldn't control her tears. Liu Jiesheng looked at the wife and son in the photo on the beach, her mother and mother were sitting around him, they drank soda, looked at the boundless sea and blue sky and white clouds, and talked about a happy life. He remembered Xie Fei and his son at that time, the three of them got up from the sea, and then walked hand in hand to the shore side by side in the sun.

He looked at Xie Fei, who was like a fairy, and he was moved and excited: "I have you in my life, it is the perfection of my life, my greatest happiness, in addition to marriage, you are still my good sister." Xie Fei listened to his words of praise for herself, and her heart was very sweet. At this time, his ignorant son Liu Xunfei rushed out: "My mother is your good sister, then you are my good brother, and I am your little brother." Suddenly, the hearty laughter of the three people on the beach came out far and wide, and they lifted the little hazy boy to the sky at the same time, and they all shed tears of happiness at the same time.

At this time, they (they) are also in tears, they (they) are tearing tears to recall the joy and happiness of the past, they (they) are in tears and sinking in the pain in front of them, but they (they) are vague about the future days.

At this time, his son Liu Xunfei came out of his grandfather's house and said: "Mom, grandpa wants to go to the toilet, but I can't get it, you can go quickly." Xie Fei put down her husband, wiped away her tears, and then took care of the old man. Liu Jiesheng, who was still sitting with tears in his eyes, sighed helplessly and slowly lay down again.

The days are getting up again to October of the old calendar, and although the wind in this city is not strong or cold, this year, especially during this period of time, is particularly rainy and cloudy. At this time, Xie Fei had already reached the point where she couldn't make ends meet, she already owed some debts for the sake of two patients, and she was thinking about how to solve the next medical expenses. She was wondering if she could sell her façade or sell a house to keep the situation awkward.

That night, when Sheffie was at a loss, she heard a knock on the door.
