Chapter 45: The Past Is Not Like Smoke
The next day, Bai Ke arrived at school early.
But it wasn't until it was almost time for class to come that Dolma hurried.
Facing Bai Ke's concerned gaze, she smiled reluctantly.
While he was in class, Bai Ke quietly stuffed the cloud cake into Zhuoma's hand.
This is Dolma's favorite food.
Dolma looked down and realized that it was a cloud cake, and finally smiled.
Taking advantage of the teacher's inattention, the two of them secretly ate below, smiling proudly from time to time.
During recess, Bai Ke also pulled Zhuoma to the big tree in the yard to find leaves to pull and compete.
The two laughed noisily.
"My best!"
"It's still mine!"
"Wait until I find someone more powerful to defeat you!"
Bai Ke really can't bear to break this carefreeness.
But to know the truth, he had to ask.
"Dolma, why don't you and your father have the same surname?"
Dolma's happy smile was taken away in an instant.
She lowered her head, fiddled with the leaves, and said for a long time: "I have the same surname as my father...... who gave birth to me."
"What does he do?"
"He's a doctor. ”
No wonder Dolma likes to do things to save lives, it turns out that it was her biological father's profession.
"And where is he now?"
Dolma shook her head.
It must be that you like the new and hate the old and abandon your wife and daughter, that bastard.
But why did Dolma's mother commit suicide?
At this time, the bell rang for class, and Bai Ke hurriedly took Zhuoma's hand and ran towards the classroom.
Dolma's mother works in a plastic flower factory, a large collective enterprise with two to three hundred workers.
The vast majority are female workers.
The old black-collar man arrested the workshop director, and as soon as he was frightened, the workshop director confessed.
Not only does he often flirt with Dolma's mother, but he also often plays tricks on other female workers.
Hearing that Zhuoma's mother committed suicide, the workshop director was so frightened that he cried: "It's none of my business! I didn't expect her to commit suicide!"
The big old black roared angrily: "You dog mongrel, don't you know that a woman's chastity is as big as the sky?"
"But we're a new society now!"
"Can the new society come nonsense? You reactionary element, this is malicious slander and slander of the new society!"
The workshop director was still arguing, but the old man waved his hand: "Escort this bastard!"
Da Lao Hei planned to close the case, but Qin Yongmei had some doubts.
"This workshop director is really hateful. But he just touched his hands and ass to take advantage of some female workers. A beautiful woman has experienced countless such things since she was a child. If I hadn't had some endurance, I'd have died a hundred times. ”
Lao Luo laughed on the side: "Xiao Qin has the most right to speak." ”
Xiao Ni also said: "What Sister Yongmei said makes sense, this workshop director should not be the main inducement." ”
Da Lao Hei was a little annoyed: "Then let's let it go." ”
Turned around and went out.
Qin Yongmei turned around, and Lao Hu gave her a thumbs up.
When she returned home in the evening, when Bai Ke asked, Qin Yongmei only shook her head.
"Uncle Fat is Dolma's stepfather, do you know?"
Qin Yongmei was taken aback: "And this matter, look at how similar they look." ”
"yes, I think it's weird too. I don't know where Dolma's former father has gone, whether he is dead, or if he has abandoned their mother and daughter. ”
Qin Yongmei was very happy and touched Bai Ke's head: "Mom will definitely let this matter come to light, and I can't let Zhuoma's mother die blindly." ”
The next day, Qin Yongmei came directly to the democratic store to call the fat uncle out.
"I heard that you are Dolma's stepfather, is it true?"
"yes. ”
Qin Yongmei straightened her face: "Then why didn't you explain it clearly that day?"
The fat uncle was a little aggrieved: "I just wanted to say it that day, but Da Lao Hei interrupted." ”
It turned out that the fat uncle had physical defects and couldn't find his wife.
Four or five years ago, someone introduced him to a woman.
This woman is from Fengtian, she is very beautiful, but her legs are a little lame, and she has two girls, one big and one small.
This woman is Zhuoma's mother Liang Shuzhen.
Liang Shuzhen's husband had just passed away, and she couldn't support herself and couldn't afford to raise two children, so she wanted to find a kind-hearted man to marry.
The fat uncle liked Liang Shuzhen very much, so he agreed.
brought Liang Shuzhen and Zhuoma, as well as Zhuoma's sister back to the small county town.
also helped Liang Shuzhen solve work problems.
"Shuzhen always said that I gave her a home, but in fact she gave me a home. I have a beautiful wife and a lovely daughter for no reason. But now......" said the fat uncle, his voice choked.
Qin Yongmei sighed: "Let's go to your house and take a look, I'll see what she left behind." ”
"Okay, you wait for me. The fat uncle nodded, went back to arrange work, and then came out to lead Qin Yongmei to his house.
When he arrived at home, the fat uncle took out a wicker box from under the bed and opened it, which was full of various relics of Shuzhen.
Qin Yongmei carefully examined.
The fat uncle was serving tea and pouring water on the side, and Qin Yongmei waved her hand: "You're welcome." ”
She retrieved several letters from the box, one of which was so strange that it hadn't been opened at all.
The mailing address is Mukden, and the date of sending the letter is a week ago.
It's just that the sender's name is not filled in.
However, it is not surprising that many letters do not contain the sender's name these days.
Qin Yongmei raised the letter in her hand: "I'll use this first." ”
The fat uncle nodded.
Back in the bureau, everyone also talked about it.
Xiao Ni said: "Most of the ex-husband's family came to have children. ”
Lao Luo said: "It's hard to imagine that my ex-husband is alive again." ”
"But why didn't Zhuoma's mother even dare to open the letter?"
"You guys really can!" Old Black shook his head helplessly, and directly picked up a pencil sharpener and cut open the envelope.
Da Lao Hei opened the letter and handed it to Xiao Ni: "Come on." ”
Xiao Ni raised his faith: "Dear Shuzhen, and my lovely Zhuoma and Zhuolin, how are you?"
Lao Luo shouted proudly: "That's right, this guy has been alive all along!"
Dolma's biological father, Dr. Yang, was a former soldier who gave birth to Dolma while serving in Tibet. After Dr. Yang was discharged from the army and transferred to another job, he was arranged to be transferred to Fengtian Hospital, and the family lived a carefree life. When the unrest came, Dr. Yang was convicted of his words and thrown into prison.
Shuzhen was also broken by the rebels because she protected her husband, and she lost her job and source of livelihood.
At this time, Dolma was just five or six years old, and his sister was just born. Shuzhen eats bran vegetables every day with her two children, and in the end she can't stand it anymore, so she can only ask someone to talk to the matchmaker.
In the end, the fat uncle took in Shuzhen's family.
Unexpectedly, Dr. Yang was released from prison a month ago after implementing the policy and returned to the hospital to become a doctor.
He learned that Shuzhen had taken her daughters to start a family with someone else, so he had to write a letter to Shuzhen quietly, not to force her to make a choice, but to inform her.
Sook-jin knew by the handwriting on the envelope that Dr. Yang was back.
After listening to Xiao Ni read the letter, everyone was silent.
Qin Yongmei sighed with red eyes: "This woman is so stupid." ”
Lao Luo also said: "But it's really hard to choose." Sook-jin should have more affection for Dr. Yang. But the fat uncle is also affectionate and righteous. She couldn't just leave him behind. ”
Da Lao Hei gritted his teeth: "It's all a gang, and in those years, how many people they have ruined and died." ”
When everyone was indignant, a policeman ran in: "Inform you of something, Liang Shuzhen's body will be sent to the crematorium today." ”
"Why?" Qin Yongmei was taken aback.
Da Lao Hei sighed: "The morgue only gives patients a morgue for three days, and if you put more of it, you have to pay for it, 5 yuan a day." ”
Qin Yongmei's eyes narrowed: "No matter what, let Doctor Yang see Qin Yongmei." ”
