Chapter 12 Stay at the innkeeper's house

Stay overnight at the owner's house

The restaurant owner knew Yan Yongnong's situation clearly, and respected the person's personality even more and valued the child's conduct. apologized again and again for his faux pas at the beginning. Treat them as precious guests and treat them with courtesy. To Yan Yongnong, he toasted cigarettes and tea, and took out all kinds of snacks for the children. This was not enough, he started the boiler again to fry two dishes, and brought a bottle of sorghum wine to drink with Yan Yongnong. Yan Yongnong postponed: "Where is there such a gift! Tell me to eat my hair!"

"You're not straightforward, and we're already acquainted with each other. I treat you as a heartfelt friend, but you have something else. Well, if you can afford to drink this glass of acquaintance wine, we will remember each other in the future, no matter how far apart we are. ”

Yan Yongnong was extremely moved by the boss's hospitality, and let him return to his familiar life circle, and return to the atmosphere of relatives, friends, and acquaintances. After coming to the city for so many days, this is the first time that people can afford to be looked down upon and respected by others. This feeling made him so moved and moved, a stream of blood was boiling, and his whole body seemed to tremble.

It is commonplace and accustomed to receiving this kind of treatment at home, even if he is held up to the sky, he can't make waves in his heart, but occasionally suffers cold eyes and cold words, and his heart fluctuates. During this time in the city, on the contrary, they have been ignored by others, looked down upon by others, and have been subjected to cold eyes and cold words from others. How small and insignificant they are in this high class of people, and even the right to self-esteem has been exhausted. Don't say that people and dogs are chasing "Wangwang" when they see them in shabby clothes and sluggishness. He didn't care anymore, he was numb, he didn't pay attention to it. He said again and again, "Thank you!" He felt that saying 'thank you' a thousand times was not enough, and saying it ten thousand times to see if he could express the gratitude in his heart.

Yan Yongnong firmly remembered this love in his heart, and he had the opportunity to be rewarded in the future, and if he was unable to repay it, he would remember it for a lifetime.

But the child is not very reasonable, only remembers the errands in front of the boss, and ignores the benefits behind the boss. Especially disgusted by the boss wanting to buy him as a son. Therefore, he did not have a good face for the boss, and did not accept his high-grade fruits - apples and bananas anyway. Bananas were extremely scarce at the time, and even rarer in small places. The children in the countryside don't say that they have never even seen this thing. Or many years later, the child went to middle school in the town, Yan Yongnong saw the banana and sold it to the children to eat, Xixi even ate all the belt meat, and fell into a laughing stock: snakes eat frogs and do not spit out skin.

The boss asked the child why he could eat his food instead of his fruit, and the child said, "We will do things for you, and we will replace your food." If you give me another snack, it's extra, I don't eat it, don't try to give me something to eat and use me as a counterproduct. I'd rather go back to the mountains with him and nibble on potato lumps and corn cobs than eat your white flour and rice. Your bananas and apples are not as delicious as his peaches and plums. ”

Yan Yongnong was afraid that the child's words would offend the benefactor, so he blamed the child: "You don't know how to do it, the uncle is a good intention, loves you, gives you good food and drink, you don't think it's an enmity." I'm afraid that he won't be able to eat too many things to eat, or is his girl not having teeth and will definitely want you to destroy such a good thing?"

The boss was not angry at all, but said in an approving tone: "This kid is good, don't underestimate him, what he says is worthy of an adult." He must be a character when he grows up in the future. ”

The kid no longer paid attention to the praise and disapproval of the two adults, and started to cheer Yan Yongnong away.

The boss asked, "Where are you staying tonight?"

Yan Yongnong said: "What are you talking about 'accommodation', but now I have no money, and I can't even afford to live in the worst hostel." Luckily, you can spend the night anywhere on a hot day. Anyway, I'm going to catch a ride back tomorrow, so I want to sleep on the station bench. ”

"How's that going to work? You're afraid that the mosquitoes will be hungry and you're going to feed them. I have an empty bed here, which I have for temporary workers when I am busy, and the bed tent has just been washed. Although it is not a good night's sleep, it can be settled. The shopkeeper said loyally.

Since I have received most of his affection, I am afraid that I will receive more of this. Yan Yongnong immediately agreed. But the kid didn't agree, and said some ugly things to Yan Yongnong: "I know you have bad intentions and want to slip away while I'm asleep and leave me here." If you can't escape, I remember your name and your home address, as long as you run away, I will go to the public security bureau to sue you for child trafficking, and ask the people from the public security bureau to come directly to your house to arrest you and go to jail. ”

Listening to the child's words, Yan Yongnong was really a little angry: "What kind of person are you? I want to talk about good things in a mess and talk about good people in a flat and crooked way." Am I the one? If I hide from you, I can't hide from you? If I don't care about you, I won't take you around looking for your parents. You don't know how to do it, you have three anti-bones on your back, and you roll your eyes and don't recognize people, I'm worried about you for nothing. ”

"But we don't just spend the night on the bench at the station, so why don't we go here tonight?"

"Of course, it's comfortable to sleep here. Besides, it was completely dark, and I couldn't find my way to the station. If we get lost and get lost, and then run into bad people, I won't be responsible for catching you. Yan Yongnong coaxed and deceived.

The boss also helped: "Yes, there are many people here and there are many bad people, and when it gets dark, they come out to rob the children." I have seen a child snatched from his father by the bad guys, and then he shoved it into a car that had been prepared in advance, and the car ran away, and his parents could not catch up. ”

Although the child was frightened and did not want to leave, he resolutely did not go to bed, and stood in the middle of the room like a stump. Yan Yongnong was angry but didn't bother to pay attention to him: "I've never seen such an unreasonable talk, so I'll let you stand all night." So Yan Yongnong set up the horse's head and feet, sat on the edge of the bed, put his hands on the bed back, supported his head, and pretended to sleep. After a long time, the child's drowsiness came, and he shook like a tumbler. I saw that his eyelids were closed, his head was digging down, and he leaned forward, and he was about to pounce on the ground. Yan Yongnong was really taken aback, he didn't have time to pull it, he just held it with his empty hand uselessly. If this kid pounces on this is not a light place, it would be good if he didn't fall into a blue nose and swollen face. At that moment, the child moved one foot and froze his body, raised his head, and looked at Yan Yongnong in a panic, seeing that Yan Yongnong was still sitting there and carrying out his antics.

The child's sleeping appearance is funny and pitiful, Yan Yongnong wanted to fix him, but he still couldn't see it, and he felt sorry for him. He picked up the child with his heart in his arms, put his head on his shoulder, and walked around the room like a nursing child to sleep, shrugging and shaking, and saying "um" in his mouth. After a while, Yan Yongnong felt that he should be asleep, because his hands were relaxed and his head was resting sideways on his shoulder.

"Thank goodness, I finally stopped grinding me, and it was time to rest after tossing and turning for most of the night. Yan Yongnong was overjoyed. He gently put the child on the bed, just next to the quilt, Yan Yongnong's bent body was not straightened, the child sat up like an electric shock, and immediately jumped off the bed and stood in place again.

Yan Yongnong knew that there was no blessing tonight, so he could get off and sleep comfortably in this comfortable bed.

"Oh, I slept soundly in my hands, and as soon as I got to bed, I woke up, and there were thorns on the bed? You have grinded me for more than 10 nights! I stole your grandmother in my previous life, and God sent you to take revenge?" Yan Yongnong scolded.

Whether you scold or sing, the child closed his eyes as if he didn't listen, and stood motionless.

"Hey, I've survived so many sleepless nights, and I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tonight?" Yan Yongnong, who was so angry and couldn't get comfort, comforted himself like this. This is really a bitter wow, if your own child would have slapped it a few times, beat you a frog and don't know the turtle.

It was very late at night, and the child in Yan Yongnong's arms fell asleep. As long as you don't put him on the bed, even if you fire cannons or thunder next to his ears, you won't wake him up. But Yan Yongnong didn't have a trace of sleepiness at all, it was really a strange thing, when the child was noisy, he squatted to sleep, sat to sleep, and stood to sleep. At this time, it was quiet, and I could sit on the bed with a backrest and sleep on Meimei, but I couldn't sleep again. Yan Yongnong originally had a bad habit, every time he went to the chicken cage, he dozed off violently, and at this time Wang Gong (the most important kung fu) had to fall down to beat this drowsy, and after this time he dozed off, no matter how quiet the environment was, no matter how comfortable the bed was, he couldn't hypnotize.

He really wanted to sleep, because the way home tomorrow was too long, and after getting off the bus, there was still a long section of the mountain road that only mules and horses could pass, and he had to walk on his feet, and the child would never be able to walk such a long way, and he had to carry it, so he had to recuperate.

However, insomnia is a situation that cannot be impatient, and the more anxious and sluggish, the more unable to sleep.

He used several hypnotic techniques to no avail. First, I squinted my eyes and suppressed my brain from thinking about anything, so that my mind went blank. This situation could not be maintained for a few seconds, and immediately the rich thinking came to trick or treat, so the thoughts of wild horses were rampant, oh my God, the top of my head hurt when I thought about it. He shook his head a few times, tilted his head, stared at the beams on the roof, and counted the beams: "One, two, three、----。 "Count it over and over again, and count it over and over again, if not a hundred times, there are ninety-nine times, but I still don't feel sleepy.

The kid was on his mind the most. This kid can't be regarded as a good child, his little mouth is not sweet at all, he can't get a word out of his mouth when he pries it open, and he can't press a fart with a grinding stone. That is, if you say something, it will either choke your liver or your lungs. Mouth is spurted at every turn, and the face is bitter. It was as if the whole world had sinned against him. The slightest misfortune provoked his temper, and if you call him "master", don't try to coax him. It's such a child, and the other people in the stall have long been impatient to pull him out, so they have already sent him away. I don't know what the hell is rushing, Yan Yongnong is worthy of him, there were a thousand excuses and 10,000 reasons to unload this burden, but he was reluctant to send him away, and he always left him with a thousand excuses and thousands of reasons.

When he first picked him up, Yan Yongnong, like all the people who found gold, sincerely wanted the things to be returned to their original owners. It is my responsibility and obligation to find a family for my child, so I do my best to do it. After a few months of contact, Yan Yongnong's feelings for this child have changed, he is used to holding his little hand, getting used to holding him on his chest, and getting used to carrying him on his back and carrying him on his shoulder. At first, he was in high spirits when he helped him find his family, and as soon as he went out, he was eager to run into his family, and when he came back with no results, he was a little discouraged. Slowly take the child out and be happy when you bring the child back. After that, I didn't really like to go out. Maybe it's that you don't want to do useless work, you don't want to waste your feelings, and you waste your energy. Admittedly, the reluctance to leave this child is another reason.

During this period of time, he devoted himself to this child, and he stuck with the child all day and night, especially in the city for more than a month, the two of them were inseparable and dependent on each other, and the relationship between them was extraordinary, almost like relatives. Yan Yongnong left his daughter aside and forgot about it, the daughter who had been raised for five or six years was not as good as an outsider who had only raised him for four or five months. If both children fall into the water, he must have saved the child first. This child has penetrated into his body, dissolved into his life, has become his heart and liver, and has no separation from his flesh and blood.

When the rooster crowed, Yan Yongnong seemed to wake up for a while, saying that he was confused, and the sound of the air whistle outside could be clearly heard, saying that he was awake, awake in a dream: he was walking on the street with the child, and a man and a woman came to him. The woman ran forward: "This is my child, give it back to me." Yan Yongnong hurriedly picked up the child: "I don't know you at all, why do you say that this child is yours?" He turned to the child again and asked, "Are they your parents?" The child didn't seem to know either, and his eyes moved around the two without answering his question. Suddenly, the man stepped forward and took the child, and ran.

"Bad guys, two bad guys, catch the bad guys. Yan Yongnong shouted with all his might. But the voice was blocked in his throat, and his head was stuffed like a balloon that was about to explode at any moment. He lifted his foot vigorously to chase after him, but the tendons on his feet seemed to be drained and he couldn't lift them at all, and his whole body was tense and unable to move, and he watched the child being snatched away. It is impossible for the reader to understand how he felt, his flesh was cut off, his liver was cut off, his heart was removed, and an empty shell with no soul and no flesh froze there.

A shrill siren whistled past him and pulled him into reality, and he opened his eyes and looked around, only to realize that it was different from what he had just experienced. "I was sitting in my room, not walking down the street, there were no strangers, and the child was sleeping in my arms. Oh, thank goodness it turned out to be a dream. Fortunately, it was a dream, and if it was true, how could I have it? No, this kid can't be let go. He subconsciously hugged the child tightly.

At this moment, Yan Yongnong's thoughts all changed: "I will never find parents for this child anymore, I will be his father and let him be my son." As soon as this thought arises in the heart, worries, worries, and fears follow. He was afraid of losing the child, worried that the child's relatives would suddenly appear. As soon as the shadow of the father of the child in his mind appeared, his nerves tensed, the muscles of his whole body stiffened, and his heart shrunk into a handful. He had to take the child out of this crowded place as soon as possible and hide. The farther you hide, the better, and the deep ravine of the dragging ridge is the safest and most hidden place where the gods can't find it. Yes, hurry home!

Yan Yongnong stared at the window with his eyes and finally sent the first ray of dawn, and then the boss also got up and opened the door. Yan Yongnong picked up the child and thanked the boss for saying goodbye, and the boss wrapped a large bag of bread and gave it away for another 50 yuan. Yan Yongnong only accepted bread and refused to accept money no matter what. He said, "We've troubled you enough, you've been so good to us that I can't afford it." You and I are too far apart, and it is rare to have a chance to repay your affection in the future. ”

"Don't say something I don't like to hear, if you don't do good deeds, you won't come here, and you won't suffer so much, so naturally you and I don't know each other. It's still the old saying, 'meet three points of love', not to mention that we are all friends?

"This love is too heavy, I am suffering from your love, you can't get a nail flap from me, and you don't owe me. I've eaten yours, I've lodging yours, I've taken yours, enough of yours. You want me to become a pig in the next life to pay it back? This money is absolutely unacceptable. ”

"They also said that they were friends, but they still didn't treat me as a friend, and they said something extraordinary. Originally, I didn't want you to report anything, this little money can't help you anything, seeing that the clothes you are wearing for so long are torn, and the shoes you are wearing are perforated, so you all buy clothes and want to keep a souvenir. ”

"Indeed, it is well deserved. Yan Yongnong still postponed.

"That's it, I'm a businessman, so I'll naturally do profitable business, and this money will be a small investment for me. I believe in my own eyesight, this child is not a thing in the mountains after all, and he will have a great future in the future, maybe this city will not be able to accommodate him! And I believe that you are sentient and righteous people who will never forget me, so I will gamble and wait for ten or twenty years to recover the principal with interest. But I have a request, before you find his parents, you should train him well, send him to study more, and don't delay him. ”

"Big brother, I can't repay anything but the 'thank you' I don't want to do now, I will definitely take your words to heart and do my best to train him to never disappoint your expectations. Yan Yongnong said this, and he had already regarded this child as his own.
