On the weekend of the next day, the continuous winter rain was still dripping, with a little cold, after the Song family sent Fu Xiaojian back early in the morning, he took the children to remove Fu Xiaorong's old cotton clothes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Be careful, don't cut the cotton. Song was holding a needle to mend the small clothes, while explaining to the children who were helping on the side.

"Grandma, make all the clothes with flowers for my little sister. "Punishment has food suggestion.

"Hehe, okay, in the summer, our little granddaughter will be dressed up beautifully. ”

There was a knock on the door outside.

"On a rainy day, who runs up the mountain? ”

Song had a question in his heart, put down the needle and thread and went to open the door, and there was a thin man wearing a coat and hat standing outside the door, Song looked at him a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"You are?"

"Oh, you're the mother of the rich, I'm the production captain of their team, surnamed Chen. ”

"Oh, Captain Chen, please come in. Song let Captain Chen into the house, went to the small pot that had been warm in the kitchen, scooped a bowl of boiled water and brought it to Captain Chen.

"Come, Captain Chen, it's cold, drink some hot water. Captain Chen held the bowl of hot boiling water in the palm of his hand and never drank it.

Song pinched the needle and grinded it on the hair on the top of his head, and asked,

"Captain Chen, is there anything important about coming up the mountain in heavy rain?"

Captain Chen looked at the room and rubbed the bowl in his hand, not knowing how to open this opening, and didn't know if they could stand it after opening the mouth, so he had to ask,

"You didn't go to school today?"

"Today, Saturday, no school. Xing Youliang replied while arranging his clothes.

"Uncle Chen, my dad is okay over there, when will he come back. ”

"Uncle Chen is here today to tell you about your father. Captain Chen put the bowl in his hand on the small wooden table on the side.

"Your father, the day before yesterday there was an accident on the embankment, and he rolled from the dam into the West River. ”

Xing Youliang hurriedly said: "Then is there anything wrong with my father?

Captain Chen: "Since falling into the water, everyone has been looking for two days and two nights and has not found Dafu, most likely something happened." ”

Xing Youliang only felt that his ears were buzzing, and he couldn't hear what his grandmother was saying with her mouth open, crying and yelling,

"Uncle Chen, you liar, my father is so capable, my father is so strong, how can he not swim ashore, I don't believe you, I want to find my father." ”

Captain Chen grabbed the torture food who was rushing out, and comforted,

"So many people can't find it, how can you find it as a child?"

Xing Youliang was stunned, yes, he had never walked out of this village, the West River was so far away, he didn't even know which direction to go.

Xing Youqian looked at his brother standing there in a daze, crying motionless, and also hugged his waist and cried.

"Brother, where are you going, don't you want to do anything?"

Xing Youyou is not Xing Youqian, of course she understands the conversation between them, her father has an accident, the only father in her two lives who loves her, loves her, and hurts her in the palm of her hand every day may never come back. Xing Youyou's mind was rolling, and there were constantly clips of getting along with her father in the past year that popped up in front of her eyes, her father fed him milk, her father coaxed her to sleep, her father wiped her dirty fart/stock, and her father's loving eyes when he looked at her. The grief in her heart suddenly hit her chest, like a flood, like a beast, and only by crying out can it be vented/come out.

Song looked at these lonely children, tears also flowed in his eyes, and he pulled them closer to his arms, coaxing, hurting,

"Hard-working children, why is God so cruel to you, you are still so young, what will you do in the future?"

Captain Chen couldn't help but stalk his throat, cleared his throat and said,

"Don't be too desperate, the team will never give up, and people will look for it again, maybe they are still alive. ”

Song stroked the children's crying backs and said,

"Yes, there is food, there is dry, maybe some family in the town has been rescued, and they will be back in a few days.

Although Xing Youliang knew that his grandmother was comforting him, these words still took effect and ignited the fire of hope in his heart.

"Well, as long as I don't see my father's body for a day, I don't believe that my father is dead ,,, gone. "Xing Youliang didn't want to say the word 'death', for fear that it would be bad for my father.

"Before my dad comes back, I will definitely take good care of my younger siblings, take care of my grandfather, and take care of this family, so that when he comes back, he will see that we are all fine. ”

Xing Youliang wiped away the tears on his face, picked up Xing Youyou, who was crying on the side, patted gently, coaxed, and muttered to himself,

"Daddy will come back, Daddy is so powerful, he won't leave us. ”

Xing Youqian rubbed his red and swollen goldfish eyes and climbed on top of his brother,

"Brother, when will my father come back, I miss him so much. ”

"Dad will be back soon, yes, from today you have to study hard, don't be lazy, so that Dad will be very happy when he comes back." ”

"Well, Youqian won't sneak around anymore. ”

At the end of November, it is rare to make a beautiful day, this day is a sunny day, the sun shines warmly on the earth, most of the people who live in the winter at home go out to beat the grass, bask in the sun, and blow the dragon gate array. However, it was quiet in the thatched hut in Qingfeng Valley, Xing Youqian went to Xiaochuan's house to read and write, and he would not come back until dinner; Xing Youyou was secretly practicing walking alone in the room holding on to the wall, this is now her daily homework, since the day of the fight, she has been practicing every day, no one knows how many times she has fallen, no one knows that once she fell out of bed and lost a small front tooth, no one knows that she secretly received the little front tooth into the secret realm, and no one knows that she has turned over 100 square meters of land by herself。

Since that day, the Song family has walked for two hours every day to Qingfeng Valley to help sew clothes, help take care of the paralyzed old man, and help collect firewood. Xing Youyou knew that her grandmother's silver hair had been added again, and her grandmother's hands had a few more chilblains, and her grandmother would have a pain in her back when she got up after squatting.

Song had just returned from threshing sheep grass, and stood in the yard and saw many people in the maple forest in front of him picking up dead branches, some picked up sickles and cut the vines on the ground, some took firewood knives to cut dead trees into sections, and some took scrapers (a bamboo tool used to scoop up leaves on the ground) to scoop up the thick maple leaves on the ground. Everyone took advantage of the good weather to come out and look for firewood. Also, no one wants to go up the mountain again in the cold hands of winter, in case of snow, even if they get back, it will be wet, not at all. Song turned around and looked at the open space on the left, where there was not much firewood to be stockpiled in autumn. After feeding the sheep, he also joined the army of firewood.

When he came back from school, he found that the thick mangrove leaves in the maple forest were gone, the dead branches were scarce, and the entire Qingfeng Valley became even more dilapidated, and there was no trace of the beautiful autumn shadow.

"Hey, if Dad came back and saw it, it would be uncomfortable. Xing Youliang sighed and continued to walk towards his thatched hut with curling smoke.
