"Her little brother, there is no need to discuss this matter with you, I want to tell you something, when you arrive in the provincial capital, the shelter will ask everyone to call their families, or find someone to deliver a letter, and let your family pick it up, you must not agree, just say that there is no phone, and no one will pick you up. In this way, stay for an extra day at most, and you can be let go, and you don't need money. If you call or send a letter to someone to pick you up, you will have to stay for a few more days, not only will you have to wait for someone to come before you can be released, but you will also have to pay a lot of food expenses before you can be released. ”

After Grandpa Qian finished speaking, he hurriedly said a few words to Jing'er, and hurriedly said goodbye to Xiao Yao and Guo Liang. As soon as he got off the train, he couldn't hold back anymore, he was in tears, and he was very reluctant. If it weren't for the police coming and helping him, he wouldn't have been able to stand. The flesh of his heart was lost by himself, and his heartache was like a knife. He knew that if he didn't say that to Jing'er, Jing'er would follow her and endure hardships no matter how hard she was, and she would not leave her, no matter how much she liked her brother Xiao, she would accompany her back to beg for food, but he couldn't let Jing'er lose such a good opportunity in his hands, for Jing'er's happiness and future, he couldn't be so selfish. This is an opportunity that will affect Jing'er's life. Let him bear it.

"Grandpa. Grandpa..."

Just after Grandpa Qian stepped out of the car door, Jing'er's mouth kept muttering grandpa, she didn't dare to shout loudly, she was afraid that the police uncle would hear it and would come to drive her off, she was afraid that Brother Xiao would hear it and let her go home with her grandfather. What grandpa said to her that day, she at least understood one thing, that is, grandpa took her all year round and begged everywhere, all because of her, as long as she left grandpa, grandpa didn't have to beg for food anymore, and he could accompany his father and mother at home. It was he who dragged down his grandfather, and it was himself who made his grandfather and her live a life of sleeping in the open and wandering around. She was reluctant to leave her grandfather, but how dare she go home with her grandfather again.

She hugged Xiao Yao, sobbing in a low voice, she endured her grief, her white silver teeth bit her delicate lips fiercely, her red eyes stared at the door of the carriage, she hoped to see her grandfather again. Uncontrollable tears wet the clothes on Xiao Yao's shoulders.

Xiao Yao felt Jing'er's trembling body in his arms, and felt the damp heat coming from his shoulders. He hugged Jing'er into his arms, and when he saw Jing'er's forbearance of sorrow, his hands tightened. Hold Jing'er tightly again:

"Jing'er, if you want to cry, just cry out loud. With my brother here, don't be afraid. ”

"Wow... Brother Xiao... Brother Xiao. Grandfather... Grandpa..."

With Xiao Yao's words, Jing'er couldn't hold herself back anymore, she couldn't care about anything else, her violently trembling body writhed uneasily in Xiao Yao's arms, as if she wanted to get into Xiao Yao's body.

"Jing'er doesn't cry, my brother wants you to promise that it won't be long before my brother will take you back to find grandpa. ”

"Really, Brother Xiao, but grandpa said that he wouldn't let me take you to him, and grandpa said that he couldn't let our family drag you down anymore. Grandpa said, let me follow you, listen to you, study hard, grandpa said, when I have a chance in the future, I will go to him and my parents. ”

Listening to Jing'er's grandfather again and again, Xiao Yao finally understood why Grandpa Qian was so decisive. He was infected by the old man's broad-mindedness. In order not to drag himself down, for the sake of Jing'er's future, he ruthlessly cut his heart open and divided it in half.

"Jing'er, believe my brother, when we go out, when we are free, I will take you to grandpa soon, okay?"

Jing'er looked at Xiao Yao, choked up and stopped talking, she didn't know what to say, grandpa didn't give her to take Brother Xiao to them, Brother Xiao wanted to take her to find it, she didn't know how to choose. I don't know if Brother Xiao will leave her after finding her grandfather. Only Brother Xiao is a relative by her side, this Brother Xiao who cherishes herself more than her parents, and this Brother Xiao who cares for her more than her grandfather, has planted deep roots in her young heart, and Brother Xiao is the closest person outside her blood. From the moment she left the big iron gate of the repatriation station, she had never left Brother Xiao's arms, and at that time, she didn't know how long she could stay in this arms. Now Grandpa is gone alone. In the future, this embrace will be my only reliance.

The train started again, Jing'er was tired of crying, and she also fell asleep in Xiao Yao's arms. The sound of the collision between the wheels and the rails reached Xiao Yao's ears again and again, so regular, so crisp.

"Your name is Xiao Zhan, right? This beautiful little girl must be Jing'er. Originally, I thought Lao Xiao was bragging to me, but now that I see it, I know that Jing'er is really beautiful, hahaha. ”

After getting off the train and walking a long way, Xiao Yao and the others were taken to the shelter in the provincial capital. But as soon as he entered the gate, he saw a person who was wearing the same clothes as the fat stationmaster and was about the same age, holding two schoolbags and a bag in his hand, walking over to look at Xiao Yao and Jing'er. and asked Xiao Yao happily.

"Yes. I'm Xiao Zhan, you say Lao Xiao, who is Lao Xiao?"

"Hahaha, Lao Xiao is the fat stationmaster uncle in Jing'er's mouth, hahahaha"

"Ah, it turns out that the stationmaster is also surnamed Xiao. No wonder I let you read the newspaper and give you steamed buns as soon as I entered, it turned out that I was taking care of my family, and I said that it was because you were taller than me. ”

"What's the matter, it's not too much to take care of your family, aren't you?

This person who couldn't stop laughing as soon as they met made Xiao Yao and Guo Liang confused. Jing'er also stared at her with her beautiful big eyes tightly, and never left for a moment.

"Let me introduce myself, I am the stationmaster here, and I am an old friend of Xiao, the stationmaster of Shanghai. The day before yesterday, he called me, and when he talked about you, he praised Jing'er as a unique little flower. I wonder if there can be such a beautiful little girl in the blind stream? I really don't believe it, and now I'm convinced. Originally, when you came here, you needed to contact your family or relatives and pay the expenses for food, housing and transportation before leaving, but Lao Xiao said, let me not embarrass you, let you go home as soon as possible, and I had to let you go. ”

"Then thank you stationmaster, can we go now?"

When Xiao Yao saw the smiling stationmaster say this, he couldn't wait to leave, but he didn't want to stay in this place for a while.

"Are you in such a hurry? at least eat something first, don't go hungry, right? It's better to have something in your stomach than to have something empty. Even if you can stand it, can we, the little princess like flowers, stand it? And you two don't want school bags?"

"Can I ask how much we have to pay if we have to pay for food?"

"No, what are you asking? Just treat it as if you were a blind stream that you can't contact. ”

As he spoke, the smiling stationmaster handed the schoolbag and baggage in his hand to Guo Liang.

"Uh... I just want to know the number. I have a bottom in my heart in the future. ”

"You're really weird, hahaha, according to the three of you, food, housing, and transportation are about two hundred. Do you still want to be in the future? ha."

"Oh, no, no, no, I don't want to enter your place again, stationmaster, my home is in the provincial capital, so I won't eat at you, we're leaving, I won't see you again." ”

After saying that, he picked up Jing'er, walked out of the gate of the repatriation station shelter, and hurriedly walked south.
