As he was drinking tea, a baby's cry sounded behind him. Wang Bo turned his head to look, but saw a dark, thin middle-aged woman holding a baby standing behind him. The middle-aged woman wore a beanie hat and a fat long coat and trousers, and she didn't forget to look at Wang Bo while holding the baby in her arms.

Seeing Guan Ping's mother holding her brother behind him, Wang Bo quickly stood up and gave up his seat, "Mao Niang, you can sit down." He stepped forward and looked at Guan Ping's younger brother, who was very small, dry and thin, and his skin was not as ruddy as a baby should be, but a little wrinkled, like a little old man, which made Wang Bo inexplicably reminded of the male protagonist who was treated as a monster by the people around him when he was just born in the movie "Rejuvenation".

"This is Guan Yu's little brother, right? He looks so good, like you, Mao Niang! You must be a handsome guy when you grow up in the future!" Wang Bo said openly.

Wang Bo's words made Mao Zhihong very happy, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and even said that she didn't sit, she had been sitting for a day, let Wang Bo sit by himself, leave her alone. She came out on her own to breathe and walked around casually.

Wang Bo gave in again, Mao Zhihong still insisted on not sitting, let Wang Bo sit, Wang Bo sat down by himself, his legs were flat, but Erlang's legs were inconvenient to anymore.

"Bo'er, are you still used to eating here? The evening meal is still to your liking? The conditions at home are simple, there is no TV, and the house you live in is also a thatched house. Makes you laugh. Mao Zhihong said.

"Where, Mao Niang! What are you talking about? It's good, it's all good! My family also lived in a thatched house a few years ago. Looking at it now, it feels very intimate. Wang Bo said.

Wang Bo's words made Mao Zhihong laugh again, feeling that this doll could speak, and then began to ask him if he and Guan Ping had a smooth journey to Huaying today, and said that her family Ping woman was not sensible, and she must have caused a lot of trouble to his family in the Quartet, so that he and his parents could take care of it. If the Ping girl is disobedient, you will only have to teach the lesson, the tone and the tone. is the same as Guan Yongxiang, no different, worthy of being a couple.

Wang Bo's response of "mmmmmmmmmmmm He thought the woman had exchanged a few words. I'm going to leave when I'm done with my homework. After all, it was the first time for everyone to meet, and men and women were different in generation, but they didn't want Mao Zhihong to start asking about his rice noodle shop after pulling the family cooking, how much money his family makes a day now, what did his parents do now, what are they doing now, and whether they live in the city or the countryside. There were some other people in the family, Barbarala asked a lot.

Although Wang Bo felt that it seemed a little inappropriate for this woman to ask himself these questions when they met for the first time. But he didn't care too much, he just thought that Guan Ping's mother was born to be chatty, self-acquainted, and liked to talk to others, he had met a lot of this kind of person in his life, and he didn't think it was strange, so he also "hummed haha" and dealt with the past half-truthfully.

However, Mao Zhihong's next words surprised Wang Bo. After inquiring about Wang Bo's family situation, Mao Zhihong directly asked if his family's rice noodle shop still needed people, Guan Ping has two cousins, people are honest and diligent, and they can do better than Guan Ping. He also said that in addition to his two cousins, there are also two aunts, who are also hard-working, hard-working and hard-working, if his rice noodle shop still needs people, I hope he can pull Guan Ping's relatives for Guan Ping's sake.

This made Wang Bo very difficult to answer, and he didn't know whether this was Guan Ping's meaning or Mao Zhihong's meaning. If it was Guan Ping's intention, even if it violated his principles of life, he would sell Guan Ping a face, but if it was Mao Zhihong's false transmission of the holy decree and the pretense of Guan Ping's name, he would only have official business.

Just when Wang Boshen was thinking about how to answer Guan Ping's mother's request, Guan Ping hurriedly walked over and said to his mother Mao Zhihong, "Mom, do you want me to hug Guan Yu?"

Guan Ping's words were like stepping on the tail of a fox, which made Mao Zhihong's face change greatly on the spot, but he immediately said with a smile: "I'm going to put your brother to sleep soon." Tomorrow, wait until tomorrow to hug it. ”

Mao Zhihong saw Guan Ping coming over and knew that something could not be done, so he asked Wang Bomo to be polite, treat this place as his own home, if there is any need, just call Guan Ping or him Guan Bo, it is windy outside, she can't stay for a long time, so she went into the house.

After Mao Zhihong left, Wang Bo turned his eyes to look at Guan Ping, but saw Guan Ping's chest rising and falling, panting heavily, his hands clenched, his eyes were red, but his face was pale, how could he still be as amiable as when he was about to hug his brother just now?

Wang Bo was taken aback. Look at the yard, there are quite a few people in the yard. The cook was busy preparing for tomorrow's noon dinner, and a few helpers he brought with him were cleaning up a dozen tables of leftover soup, and Guan Yongxiang was shouting at his two elder brothers and a few neighbors who had not yet left to play poker and Zha Jinhua. No one seemed to notice him and Guan Ping.

"Pingping, come with me around the yard around you. Wang Bo stood up and said to Guan Ping.

"Hmm!" Guan Ping nodded slightly, "I'll go get a flashlight." ”

When Guan Ping took a flashlight, the two walked towards the gate of the courtyard one after the other. When passing by the card table, Guan Yongxiang asked Wang Bo to come over to play cards, Wang Bo waved his hand, saying that he would go around the neighborhood first, enjoy the night view in the mountain, and then play when he came back. The people at the poker table let out a burst of laughter, saying that it was dark outside, and there was nothing to see at night. Someone reminded Wang Bo to go well and not to plant in the ravine. Guan Yongxiang told Guan Ping to take good care of Wang Bo and don't go far. Wang Bo smiled, didn't speak, hugged his fists at a group of card ghosts, turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate.

I didn't take two steps out of the courtyard, and there was no electric light, and the surroundings were suddenly plunged into darkness. Wang Bo stretched out his hand and grabbed one of Guan Ping's small hands in his hand. Guan Ping didn't struggle, let Wang Bo hold it, and the other hand with a flashlight pushed the switch, and a bright beam of light shot into the distance from where the two were standing.

"Turn off the flashlight, Pingping, I can see it. Wang Bo whispered.

"Hmm!" Guan Ping said "um" and turned off the flashlight in her hand.

Say you can see it. But at least it took about five minutes for Wang Bo to gradually adapt to the surrounding environment, and he could vaguely distinguish the road ahead. The silhouette of the surrounding houses, the shadows of the trees, the black silhouette of the mountains in the distance. This is a night without stars and moons, the light is very dim, if there is no Guan Ping, who has grown and lived in the neighborhood for 18 years, he knows everything about the surrounding grass and trees, every house and every tile. Even if he closes his eyes, the person who can lead Wang Bo to walk a few laps leads him as a guide, and he is definitely unable to move an inch without a flashlight.

Guan Ping led Wang Bo and didn't go far. After leaving the hospital, he walked towards a path about half a meter wide that twisted in front of his house. On both sides of the path are vegetable fields, and in front of you is a valley that is not known how wide it is and how deep it is. farther away. It is a tall and straight mountain range, with a looming silhouette.

Along the path, about thirty or forty meters forward, a dark shadow suddenly stood in front of the two of them. When I walked in, it was a big rock. Guan Ping let go of Wang Bo and jumped, like a deer, jumping on a big rock. Then he turned around and handed out a hand to Wang Bo, which would be cautious. Without knowing the details, he pulled it up.

Wang Bo, who was standing on the stone, was a little trembling, and looked downward, but the night was dark and the visibility was very low, but he felt that there should be a low slope below, and it was not clear whether it was a lawn or a fertile field.

"Bo'er, down there are terraces. The left is my family, and the right is the eldest father and the second father's family. When I was very young, I used to sit on this rock and watch the adults planting rice. Guan Ping pointed to the black patch under the stone and introduced it to Wang Bo.

So, in Wang Bo's mind, there was a scene of a little girl sitting on a stone watching the adults working in the fields. Girls are very young, no more than five or six years old. If you are older, you will probably not sit on the sidelines as a spectator, but work in the fields with the adults. Wang Bo also understood the meaning of "very small" in Guan Ping's mouth.

Guan Ping turned on the flashlight and shone it on the stone, which was very clean and flat, like an irregular table. Guan Ping didn't see anything dirty, so she sat down directly. When Wang Bo saw it, he also sat down next to Guan Ping, thought about it, and stretched out his hand to take the girl in his arms. Guan Ping did not resist and let Wang Bo hold him.

Neither of them spoke at first, and Wang Bo continued to let his eyes adjust to the night. The air was fresh and cool, with the smell of the mountains.

"Bo'er, there are some words, I ...... I didn't tell you about it before. The girl in her arms suddenly whispered.

"Hmm!" Wang Bo said "um", but the hand holding the girl tightened.

"I ...... Not my parents. ”

"Hmm!" Wang Bo still said "um" and didn't say anything.

At the moment when he saw Mao Zhihong just now, he actually had a lot of doubts. In the past, Guan Ping didn't look like his son, Guan Yongxiang and Wang Bo felt that she was probably more like her mother. Many old employees who have seen Guan Yongxiang in the store also said the same, saying that she must be (like) her mother. In this regard, Guan Ping did not speak, always smiled. This laugh, in the eyes of others, including Wang Bo, took it as a tacit. Because this situation is often encountered in reality, some children are more like their fathers, some are more like their mothers, and some are a combination of some characteristics of both parents.

But Guan Yongxiang and Mao Zhihong, no matter how comprehensive they are, how their genes mutate, no matter from their height, skin, or details of their facial features such as eyes, ears, nose, and tongue, they can't find a trace of shadow on Guan Ping's body. At that time, Wang Bo began to doubt Guan Ping's life experience, I am afraid that it will be much more tortuous than he imagined, and I am afraid it will be much more tragic.

"Although I am not born to them, in my heart, I have always regarded them as the closest people to me. In my mind, I never thought of going to my own biological parents. I just thought, for whatever reason, since God has made me form a family with my current parents, let's go on loving each other for the rest of our lives. Care for each other and love each other.

"Growing this big, the only new dress I wore was a yellow dress that my grandparents bought me when I turned ten. This skirt, I still have it in the box. Growing up, I never asked them for a penny except for school tuition and other miscellaneous fees. Sometimes during the New Year's holidays, uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts would occasionally give some New Year's money, but I saved all this money, and then handed it to my mother and asked her to take it to the family. When I was a child, I went to town with my mother and father, and I never asked for this or that like other children. Occasionally, they would offer to buy me some candy, but seeing the difficult family conditions, I also said that I didn't want to eat it. ”

Wang Bo's hand holding the girl tightened again. A gust of night wind blew, and the coolness seemed to be heavier.

"There's a lot of homework, and there's always work to be done at home and in the fields. Sometimes when their hands and feet are a little slower, they will be unhappy. Before the younger brother left, he was generally fine, usually saying a few words, but after the younger brother left, he would often beat and scold.

"Bo'er, do you know that when Li Cui's father, Uncle Li, came to inform you that there was someone in your store, you didn't know that I was so happy and excited, I didn't fall asleep all night, lying on the bed, covering my head with a quilt, laughing and crying, crying all night. At that time, I thought, don't give me even a penny, as long as you can take care of my food and let me have a place to live, I will help you! I will help you for the rest ......of my life."

"Pingping, don't say it, it's all over, ah, it's all over!" In the dark, Wang Bo stretched out a hand to touch Guan Ping's face, but what he touched was tears on one hand. Wang Bo was flustered and heartbroken, so he simply picked up his hands, picked up the girl by the waist, let her lie on her back on her chest, lowered her head, and pasted her face with the girl's face, so that the girl's bubbling tears were also stained on her face, and at the same time whispered, "Don't say it, ah?! I know, I know! My mother has always regretted not having a daughter, she has always treated you as a daughter." In the future, you will treat my mother as your mother, ah?! She will baby you! In the future, no one will dare to bully you, and if anyone dares to bully you, I will fight with him, ah!"

"Woo-" The girl who had been holding back her crying finally whimpered, suppressed, heart-rending whimpering.

The mountains are majestic, and the night is still deep.
