The rain in Canberra that day kept falling from the sky like God carrying a shower on a prank, Yutong ran home in a raincoat in embarrassment, and the sixth day of this month was the day when the parents should send the letter, and sure enough, when Yutong went home and opened the mailbox in the evening, there was indeed a letter in it, but there were two, one brown, one white, Yutong simply took both letters home.

Usually parents only use white envelopes, so this time Yutong focused her attention on the brown envelope, the name of the mailer on the brown envelope made Yutong recall it for a long time, and then remembered that the mailer seemed to be the college student guide back then, which made Yutong even more interested in this brown letter, and she couldn't wait to open it. The letter reads:

Luo Yutong, who received this letter:

I haven't seen you for so many years, I guess you still remember me, in fact, it doesn't matter if you remember me or not, because the following content has nothing to do with me.

I and the school leaders already know about you and your family, and we deeply sympathize with it. However, there is one person I think you should not forget, this person has waited for you for four years, been sad for four years, and he has been constantly asking about you for these four years, he has looked for me, he has looked for the principal, and he has also looked for the police, but to no avail. He even wrote a novel specifically for you, but fortunately, God of Fortune favored him, and his novel is now not only published, but he is also about to enter the film and television industry. Now he can say that he is not short of anything, and I thought that he would forget about you and start a new life, but at the launch ceremony of the 55th anniversary yesterday, his behavior completely upended my understanding.

He actually gave a speech loudly in front of tens of thousands of teachers and students in the audience, and the gist of this speech was to the effect of "Yutong, I miss you very much now, although I don't know where you have gone, but I want to say to you that no matter what kind of difficulties you encounter, I have the ability to help you now, if you hear my voice, please be sure to find me before the 60th anniversary of the school, I want to see you again"

To tell you the truth, I have never seen such a persistent teenager, at that time, in order to ask for clues about your whereabouts, he came to my office and the principal's office almost every day, but do you think we really don't know, but we can't bear to tell him. However, this time, I changed my mind, and I decided to help him, not only because of his persistence, but also because you were once a student of our school, and on the occasion of the school anniversary, we still sincerely hope that you can come to the meeting, not for anything else, even for him, as he said in the end, "How filthy our world is tormented by money and desire, only true feelings and understanding are the driving force that cleanses the human heart." ”

I think you should have guessed who "he" is, in order to fulfill his wish, I finally found out where you live, please don't let us down, no matter how you are now, if you show up at the gate of the campus, we will still open our arms and hug you, I wish you well, Yutong.

Also, we deeply mourn the matter of your parents.

At the end of the letter is "his" contact information, one is the phone number, and the other is his private WeChat ID. Luo Yutong didn't know whether to laugh or cry now, God seemed to have made a big joke with himself, but when he read it to the end, he didn't rush to contact He Dudong, but noticed the last line: We deeply mourn about your parents. What does it mean? Why do you use the word mourning? The more Yutong thought about it, the more wrong it became, she hurriedly grabbed the white envelope, tore it tremblingly, and read it tremblingly. When she finished reading the contents of the white envelope, she finally realized what it means to have great ups and downs, what it means to have two heavens of ice and fire, and what it means that life is like a play.

The letter was written by Yutong's previous housekeeper, although the number of words was not much, but every word made him shiver like a cold air------ Yutong's parents committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river. Although before going abroad, Deng's father and Deng mother comforted Yutong and said that there was nothing serious, but there was something wrong in the business, but Yutong, who studied economics and trade, had already seen through it, and her parents' business was almost in a state of loss in recent years, and the financial aspect was to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, but she never thought that these debts could force her optimistic parents to commit suicide. The letter also said that Deng's father and Deng mother had been repaying their debts during their imprisonment, and they had already sold everything their family could sell, and they were about to sell themselves, but they still had a considerable amount of debts to repay.

Deng's father and Deng mother also thought about paying off the remaining debts by working part-time, but even then, it would take five or six years to pay them off, not including the high interest, and the housekeeper said that the remaining debts and time became the last straw that crushed Deng's father and Deng mother, because they were too tired to see hope. Yutong cried for an unknown amount of time holding this letter, until the moment when the sun dawned on the coastline of Canberra again, when the sun shone on her face that shimmered with tears, she suddenly tore the letter to shreds, because she made what she thought was the bravest and most worthwhile decision in this life, she still had a lot to pursue in this life, and she wanted to live her own value.

What do people live for in this life, we have learned to survive since birth, for money, for desire, we forget our families, forget our children, we seem to have forgotten what true happiness tastes like. Maybe it's really like what He Dudong said.

How filthy our world is tormented by money and lust!

A loud car whistle pulled Yutong back to reality, it turned out to be a crossroads, Yutong put his hand out of his bag, and continued to walk forward, there were more and more cars in front of him, and people were getting denser and denser. When she came to the door of a bookstore called "Thanksgiving Bookstore", she stopped, and Yutong walked in with a smile. There are not many people in the bookstore, only a pair of lovers and an old man, the couple is picking the photo album of the idol group, the old man is wandering by the bookshelf, and behind the cash register stands a well-dressed, gentle and elegant old man with a flower armor, the old man quickly raised his head after hearing Yutong's footsteps, and then stood up respectfully and walked to her side. The old man bowed lightly to Yutong with tears in his eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Yutong, you are finally back!" This old man is the housekeeper who wrote to Yutong who is still in Australia.

The couple and the old man who picked up the book slowly left, and at this time only Yutong and the housekeeper were left in the store, and the housekeeper locked the door of the store neatly when he saw this, and then hung a wooden sign that said "closed for business". The butler invited Yutong to a small round table, and then made two cups of coffee and brought them over, and as soon as he put the coffee down, he joked: "There is only instant coffee here, no latte and cappuccino, so please take a look at it first." Yutong took off her hat, sunglasses, and mask, and her eyes were already red, "Teacher Liu, don't be sarcastic about me." By the way, the name of this bookstore is really good, how is the business lately?" Steward Liu looked around and smiled helplessly: "You also saw it just now, I can only say that I can still survive at present, it is precisely because the money to open this bookstore was sponsored by Mr. Deng before, so I took this name." ”

Yutong took a sip of coffee and went straight to the point, "You know the purpose of my return this time. The butler's eyebrows began to be a little cramped, and he leaned forward and said, "Yutong, do you really insist on doing this? Yutong nodded firmly, "Since I'm back, it means that I have made up my mind, and there is no turning back." Steward Liu already knew what kind of temper Yutong was, and he knew that no matter how much persuasion he had, it was useless, so he had to get up and go to the counter to get an envelope back and hand it to Yutong: "There is all the information about the debt here...... Also, I'm really sorry about your parents. After Yutong took the letter, she didn't open it but stuffed it into her bag, she stood up and held the housekeeper's hand tightly, "It's all over, you don't have to worry too much, I wish you a prosperous business." After saying that, Yutong turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly, she turned around as if she remembered something, "Do you have a book called "Ruo Ai"? ”

Steward Liu pinched his chin and thought about it, then went to a bookcase and picked up a copy back, "Is this one?" Yutong took the book, and saw that the packaging of this book was very exquisite, and the title of the book was indeed "Ruo Love", and in the lower right corner of the title was written the words "Young Writer Dongguang". Yutong said excitedly: "That's right, this is it!" Steward Liu walked over, looked at Yutong and stroked the book with a relieved face, and said: "This book was published a few years ago, because it sold well, so it has been reprinted since it came in, and I heard that the author of this book and you are still from the same university, and you are still alumni." ”

Yutong looked at the housekeeper and nodded, she knew that the housekeeper didn't know her relationship with "Dongguang", she glanced at the price of the book, then opened her wallet and took the money to Steward Liu, Steward Liu saw this and hurriedly grabbed Yutong's arm and stopped her, "What are you doing, Yutong, how much is a book, the grace of Doumi will be reciprocated by a spring, your father's help to me is something I can't repay in my life, even if this book is a gift I give you to return home, accept it!" Yutong looked at the housekeeper who slowly lowered his head to choke, and couldn't bear to argue anymore, she knew the brotherly friendship between the housekeeper and her father, and she understood the indescribable guilt in the housekeeper's heart after her parents committed suicide with hatred.

After saying goodbye to Steward Liu, Yutong walked a few steps forward and turned into a secluded alley, she took the envelope out of her bag, she carefully tore open the envelope and took out the bill, she carefully checked and calculated the debt information on the bill, after calculating it, she sighed and leaned her head against the wall, as the housekeeper said, this debt is indeed a large amount.

Yutong hung her hands weakly, she really wanted to tear this bill to shreds, it was because of it that her parents would be desperate to commit suicide, but Yutong knew that if the money could not be repaid, the spirit of her parents in the sky would definitely not rest in peace, just like her father often said to herself, "Since you have chosen to dance with wolves, then walk over bravely in armor." "If you owe money, you should pay it back for no reason, and since you choose the road of paying off your father's debt, you should go on with thorns. The courage and courage that have been exercised in foreign countries over the years have already made Luo Yutong ready to hit the stone with an egg, Yutong stuffed the bill back into his bag, packed his clothes, and went to the next destination while making a phone call.
