"Teacher Xiao, are you here to pick up Xiaoguang?"

A kindergarten teacher on the playground recognized Anna's mother and came over to open the door.

Xiao Yu greeted the teacher with a smile, took Xiaoguang's schoolbag, and when Xiaoguang said goodbye to the teacher, he hugged Xiaoguang and sat in the chair on the back seat.

"Mom, this sister gave me candy just now, there are a lot of white rabbits!"

Xiaoguang suddenly turned back and pointed at Anna and said.

Anna's heart beat violently, seeing her mother looking at her, she hurriedly hid the bag of sugar in her hand behind her, and felt that it was wrong, so she quickly took out the candy again, and hurriedly explained to her mother's slightly suspicious gaze: "Mom-uh, Mr. Xiao, don't get me wrong...... Your family has helped me before...... I happened to pass by here today, so I bought a bag of candy and gave it to Xiaoguang to express my gratitude......"

Xiao Yu sighed, a smile appeared on his face, "Who are your parents?"

“…… Also surnamed Ann ...... "Anna swallowed and vomited."

The surname An is rare, Xiao Yu doesn't remember any dealings between his family and another family surnamed An, and thinks this young girl is strange, so he smiled politely and said: "I got my heart, we can't ask for sugar." ”

"Teacher Xiao, just give Xiaoguang. I'm sincere!This candy is absolutely fine, I don't believe I'll show you!" Anna begged, and in order to reassure her, she took a peeled candy wrapper and stuffed it into her mouth.

Xiao Yu couldn't stand it, hesitated, and finally smiled: "Then take one." The rest really can't be wanted. ”

Anna knows that although her mother is delicate and soft in front of her father, she cries her nose at every turn, but she is actually very principled. Knowing that this should be her maximum concession, she had to give up and send the sugar packet to Xiaoguang.

Xiaoguang obediently took one. said: "Thank you, sister!"

"Say goodbye to my sister," Xiao Yu said with a smile, "We're going home." ”

"Goodbye, sister!"

Xiaoguang grabbed the big white rabbit in his hand, turned his head and waved goodbye to Anna.

Xiao Yu and Anna nodded, pushed the bicycle and walked out a few steps with Xiaoguang, I don't know why, I suddenly had a strange feeling in my heart, as if I had seen her somewhere before.

Xiao Yu stopped, turned his head, and glanced at Anna.

When Anna saw her suddenly look back at herself, her heart beat faster again, and she couldn't help but walk towards her. As soon as her feet were raised, she nodded at herself, smiled slightly, and rode away.

Anna looked at the back of her mother carrying Xiaoguang and gradually leaving, her heart was full of melancholy and loss, and after a while, she finally turned around and called the kindergarten teacher who was still standing at the door to let the child go, pointed to the wire on the top of the house and said: "Teacher, the wires you have here are not standardized, and it has been a long time, for the sake of safety, it is time to call the power department to overhaul it, right?"

The teacher glanced at Anna and said coldly, "Who are you, nosy?

Anna suddenly became angry.

"Is this called nosy? You open your eyes and see clearly, the roof is pulled randomly, the wires in it haven't been changed for I don't know how many years, this is a kindergarten! So many children, if something happens, can you afford to take this responsibility?"

"Hey, how do you speak, who are you cursing with red mouth and white teeth?"

"I'm not cursing anyone, I'm reminding you!" Anna turned to the parents who came to pick up the children and said, "Parents, you are commenting, is what I said reasonable, are you meddling?"

Several parents seemed to agree with her, but they were embarrassed to say more because of the teacher's affection, and one of them said hesitantly: "There are a number of kindergartens...... Nothing should happen......"

The director heard the quarrel at the door and came over to ask.

"Principal, I think what this comrade said has a point. Taking advantage of the holidays, shouldn't you call the electricity to come and see?" said one parent.

Someone started, and the parents on the side also echoed.

The director pushed his glasses and said, "We have also noticed this problem and are about to reflect it." Parents can rest assured. ”

When the parents saw the principal say this, they nodded their heads and left with their children.

"What virtue!"

The female teacher snorted at Anna and turned to walk inside.

Anna was still uneasy. Even if the director of the park was not perfunctory just now, the efficiency of the relevant departments is now not flattering. Ignoring the female teacher, he caught up with the principal: "Principal, please be sure to report the situation and urge them to do their best to repair and replace the line! ”

"Oh, this female comrade, seeing that you are so young, why are you so suspicious? I have said everything, you can rest assured!" The director was a little unhappy, "Parents have handed over their children here, they are all flowers of the motherland." If you think of it, we will think of it!"

Anna knew that she had to go so far as she could. I hope that after being reminded by her, the principal can really eliminate the hidden dangers in time.

No matter how bad it is, now she will go back first, and she will definitely come back again this summer. If the line hadn't been changed by then, she would have contacted her dad to help put pressure on the kindergarten. It is a matter of the safety of the children, with her understanding of her father, as long as she is reminded and realizes that there is a hidden danger, he will not ignore it.

……

That evening, Anna boarded a train to Shanghai. The next day, I found the school where Li Mei was a substitute teacher before her death, and pretended to be a friend she hadn't seen for many years, and asked about Li Mei's previous news.

In the last half year of Li Mei's life, she corresponded with Aunt Li Mei and talked about her life. Aunt Li Mei received her letter. Anna read the letter one day and learned about her workplace in Shanghai.

Li Mei's bizarre suicide at the train station made Anna feel very puzzled, and she always had a pimple in her heart. Although she had to continue to pretend to be the deceased to let herself fall down, the knot was incomprehensible and kept stuck in her throat.

After a day of running around the city, Anna left the school with a heavy heart.

She found a colleague who had a good relationship with Li Mei before her death. The female teacher first told Anna that after Li Mei's mother died, Li Mei was helpless, so she went to a small place in the north to seek refuge with relatives a few months ago. But then, she secretly told Anna that the reason why Li Mei left here was not only because her mother died, but also because she couldn't stay here anymore.

“…… Originally, I heard Li Mei say that the two had already talked about getting married, and for a while Li Mei asked me how to distribute the candy. The man was admitted to the university in the second half of last year, and he looked down on Li Mei, and it didn't take long for him to hear that he had a new partner in the university and was going to dump her......"

"This is not the worst, the worst thing is that a few months ago, Li Mei was found to have a child during a routine physical examination at school...... The man didn't seem to admit it, and said that Li Mei had falsely accused her. Hey, you said that she was a big girl with yellow flowers, and such a scandalous thing happened, so how could she be a person here? So I also persuaded her to simply knock out the contents of her stomach and go to her relatives to start over. At that time, I saw that Li Mei didn't seem to be dead, and I was still thinking that the man could turn back, and I didn't know if she was ...... later."

Anna asked the man for his name and university, and left the school.

She will keep the name of this negative man firmly in mind, and one day, if she has the ability, she will definitely avenge the girl who hanged herself in the toilet of the train station with two tied shoelaces, and let that scumbag taste what it is like to be alive and dead!

……

Counting the drive on the head and tail road, Anna went back on the tenth day after leaving Luoping County.

There are only a few days left until the end of the year.

When she left, there were still dry cinder roads everywhere in Luoping County. The evening when I went back, it was already white.

Within days of her departure, it snowed. Heavy snow came and went, and thick snow accumulated on the road. Since the day before yesterday, the bus station has stopped running to the suburbs, and many passengers who have returned from other places to go home for the New Year have been stranded in the bus station.

Anna couldn't follow the example of those who returned to her hometown on foot, and she didn't have much money around to live in a hotel, so she had to find a place to stay at Chen Li's house.

Chen Li lives in an old workers' building in the east of the city, the house is decades old, Mao 30 square meters, there is no toilet, there is a kitchen the size of a matchbox, and the rest is divided into two rooms. One room is for Chen Li and the Song couple, and the other room is for the usual Chen Chunlei or the mother of the Song who came over. At this time, during the winter vacation, Chen Chunlei returned to Hongshijing. Chen Li's factory had a holiday seven or eight days ago and took Song Xiaoni back. When Anna looked for her, Song Xiaoni was very happy and hugged Anna tightly.

Chen Li was also very happy to see Anna come back. Seeing that her daughter was tired of Anna, she smiled and said, "Don't say it, after you left, little Nicole was sad for several days, and I was afraid that you would not come back." ”

"How can it!" Anna took out the white rabbit she had brought back and gave it to Ni. Xiao Ni's eyes lit up, she wanted to take it but didn't dare, and looked at her mother.

"Look at what, my sister bought it for you. Anna peeled a piece of candy and brought it to Ni's mouth.

"What are you doing with so much high-end toffee! What a waste of money!"

"For children. It doesn't cost much. Anna laughed and pulled out a machine-knitted cashmere sweater from her luggage.

"Sister, this is brought from Shanghai, sent to you, this weather is a little cold, you can wear it when spring begins. Don't be disgusted!"

Cashmere sweaters aren't expensive, and Anna can't afford them right now. But it's more beautiful than the hand-knitted thick sweaters that people here are used to wearing, and it looks really foreign.

"Oh, if you go to Shanghai, you can go to Shanghai, what are you going to do with these! It's too expensive! I'm tired on the road, hurry up and rest, I'll fry two dishes, and then your brother-in-law will be able to eat when he comes home." ”

Chen Li was very happy, put her clothes away, and got busy as soon as she went into the small kitchen.

When Da Song came back in the evening, he said at the dinner table that he was still in arrears at this time.

Before leaving, Anna had stopped by to a milk station not far from the station, and learned from the girl named Zhao Zhongfen that no one had contracted the milk station until this time, and it was estimated that it would be delayed until next year. I mentioned it.

"This can make money? If you can make money, you don't have to contract out. Chen Li couldn't help but shake her head, "If you contract it, you will bear your own risk." We ordinary people don't have that ability, so it's better to earn hard-earned money honestly. ”

Da Song seemed to be a little interested, but when he saw Chen Li say this, he didn't squeak.

Anna smiled and didn't mention it. Sleep in a room with Xiao Ni at night. The next day, the road was still closed, and on the afternoon of the third day, the station finally began to send out trains. Anna hurriedly came back and wanted to tell Chen Li to take the car back to Hongshijing, so as not to be crowded at her house all the time. Walking to the door of the unit building, Chen Li happened to come from the opposite side, and brought a man on the side. This man is slightly thin, a few years older than himself, with a long face, and he looks quite gentle. Wearing a beep dress, the leather shoes are shiny, and the overall look is quite stylish.

Chen Li seemed to be a little stammering with this man, and seemed to be inviting him into the house to sit. It's just that this man's attitude is a bit perfunctory.

"Hey, Meimei! Coincidentally, you're back! Come here, come here!"

Chen Li raised her eyes to see Anna, her eyes lit up, her face showed joy, and she hurriedly beckoned to her.

Anna walked over, "Sister, the station seems to be open, I ......"

"Let me put the others first. Let me introduce you to it. Gao Wei, of the county people's armed forces. ”

As he spoke, he leaned into Anna's ear and whispered, "The one I said I was going to introduce you to last time, his father is the director of the county personnel bureau!"

Anna was stunned.

"Xiao Gao, this is the cousin Li Mei I told you, from Shanghai, it's not me who brags, I am proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I went to the city art show on behalf of the school last time and won the award......"

Chen Li vigorously put gold on Anna's face. Anna then realized that this man was the person she wanted to introduce to herself before. Quickly pulled her arm, pulled her to the side and said in a low voice: "Sister, don't talk about it, I don't want to talk about it yet......"

"Comrade Li Mei, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Gao Wei. The high mountains, the great great. ”

Before Anna could finish speaking, she heard Gao Wei greet her from behind, so she had to turn around.

"Hello, Comrade Gao!" Anna nodded at him and turned to Chen Li, "Sister, I came back to tell you, the car is open, and I'm leaving." ”

"Hey, wait! What are you doing in such a hurry! It's not too late to leave tomorrow! Besides, you haven't had dinner yet!"

Chen Li shouted after her.

"I have something to do, and I'm in a hurry to go back. Don't be hungry!"

Anna ran to Chen Li's house on the third floor to get her own things, said goodbye to Xiaoni, and hurried downstairs. I saw Gao Wei and Chen Li still standing there.

Anna said goodbye to Chen Li, turned around and walked briskly towards the station.

"Comrade Li Mei, or I'll send you there!" Gao Wei chased after him.

"No, no, don't bother. I know the way myself. Thank you. Sister, I'm really leaving, I'm afraid I won't have a car when it's late!"

Anna didn't look back, leaving Chen Li, who was still holding on to herself, and hurriedly walked to the bus station. Finally let her catch the last train, squeeze into a corner, and drive out in the direction of the red stone well.
