Su Laosan took Xiao Yao and Xiao Ai and walked inside for about ten or twenty minutes before he stood down, pointed to a row of low small construction sheds in front of him, turned around and said:

"From the front, the sixth door is their dwelling. I'll be waiting for you here, but I'm going to go. ”

No matter how hard and tired you are outside, even if you suffer a lot, you must be radiant and happy when you return to your hometown, which is the mentality of every person who abandons his wife and children and goes out to earn money to support his family.

Su Laosan, as a fellow villager with Xiaoai's parents, are all people who go out to work hard, and they have the same heart. He didn't want to embarrass them, so he stood still. Of course, he won't say it either.

Looking at the row of low construction sheds in front of him, Xiao Ai's eyes were already blurred with tears. She promised to be calm by her brother's side, and she forgot about it completely. At this time, the most regrettable is Xiao Yao, which is completely out of his expectations.

originally thought that Xiao Ai's father did not return for a long time, leaving his only baby daughter at home and not going home to visit, Xiao Yao thought that either he had an affair in the city or quarreled with Xiao Ai's mother.

He came with Xiao Ai because he wanted to use Xiao Ai's father-daughter love to redeem her father's distant heart, or use the warmth of the family to resolve the conflict between her parents. But at this time, it is impossible not to let Xiao Ai see her parents.

Xiao Yao saw Xiao Ai's eyes full of tears, and stepped forward to hug her in distress and stop her from rushing forward.

"Xiao Ai, don't cry, you promised my brother, if you cry, your parents will be even more sad when they see it, do you understand?"

"Brother Xiao Yao, I feel so uncomfortable, my father and my mother are working here for me. Live in a small shed like this. They came home and told me that it wasn't like that. ”

Ai sobbed and paused.

"They said that my father worked in the provincial capital, and he was very relaxed and comfortable. Let me read with peace of mind. Brother Xiao Yao, I don't study anymore, I want to go to work in your factory, I want to earn money to support my parents and my parents. ”

Yu Qi said that Xiao Ai was talking to Xiao Yao, it was better to say that she was crying blood. Her soft body fell softly into Xiao Yao's arms. Xiao Yao had to hold her completely in his arms.

"Xiao Ai, don't worry, when my brother comes, I won't care. It's your parents, that is, my parents, and I'm just as uncomfortable, but you can't cry, you have to face it bravely, just for your parents, and you can't let them worry about you anymore. ”

Maybe it was Xiao Yao's words that settled Xiao Ai's heart, or maybe Xiao Yao's hug gave Xiao Ai comfort. After sobbing for a while, Xiao Ai broke free from Xiao Yao's embrace and walked to the hut with her chest straight.

Uncle Zhou, who was sitting on the edge of the bed in the hut, had just finished moving the last batch of bricks and returned home to rest. Worn over clothes, the girdle made of leather, has not yet been unfastened. Xiao Ai's mother was holding a medicine bottle and pouring out two pills from it, ready for him to take the medicine.

"Mom, Dad. ”

Zhou Weiai saw her parents, but she still couldn't restrain herself, and the mood that had just gritted her teeth and was firm collapsed instantly. She screamed and cried down on his father's dirty waist.

"Little Love?"

"Why are you here?"

The two pills slipped to the ground in the hands of Xiao Ai's mother, and the water cup in Xiao Ai's father's hand was scattered more than half, and it was still shaking. The sudden appearance of Xiao Ai ruined the truth that the couple had carefully covered up for so many years.

"Uncle, aunt. I brought Xiao Ai to you. I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be like this. ”

Xiao Yao had to bow his head before he could step into the construction shed, he first admitted his mistake, this was himself, and he didn't ask Su Laosan in advance, the consequences.

The hut in front of me is only seven or eight square meters, simple beds, neatly stacked, very clean, a small stove, placed on the left hand side of the door, a small aluminum pot is placed on it, and the sound of boiling water is heard.

A small square table on the right hand, standing against the wall, only the height of a normal stool, and two small benches, also matching the height of the table, squatting pitifully under the table. On the table lay a box of pills and a pot with a rusty shell.

Immediately next to the bed, a three-legged table, like a disabled person, leans in the right angle between the bed and the wall, and the missing leg behind it is tied with a wooden stick to support it.

Xiao Ai's father's teacup that he didn't shake the water is now placed on the edge of the table with a little tilt, and there is a row of clean dishcloths, two chopsticks and a few oil bottles covered with a clean dishcloth. The black ground, although uneven, has no garbage, only two pills, complaining about their misfortune.

Uncle Zhou apologized when he saw Xiao Yao come in and hurriedly greeted him.

"Xiao Yao, sit down, you're right, it's useless for us, if we don't work here, we won't be able to earn money to feed our family. There are old people here, and there are small ones, so you can't do it. ”

"How did you find this? I remember, I didn't tell you the address. ”

Xiao Ai's mother recovered from her surprise and asked Xiao Yao and Xiao Ai in an incredible tone.

"Yes..."

Xiao Ai was about to answer, but Xiao Yao stopped and interrupted her.

"My home is here, and I've been running all over the streets of the city since I was a child, and I want to find it, and I can find you wherever you are. ”

Xiao Ai's mother was a little suspicious, this place, she couldn't say it clearly, and until now, she could only say the name of this kiln, turning around here, ordinary people didn't know at all, let alone finding them.

"Yes Mom, I told you last time, and you still don't believe it. ”

Xiao Ai didn't know why Xiao Yao's brother didn't tell the truth, but she didn't hesitate and immediately helped Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao signaled to Uncle Zhou that he wanted to go to the toilet and went out.

"Do you know where?"

"You know, you saw it when you came. ”

Xiao Yao didn't lie, when he came, he saw that not far from where Su Laosan was standing, there was a simple men's and women's toilets. Xiao Yao went out, and Xiao Ai hugged her mother again and shed tears.

"Xiaoai doesn't cry, your dad and I are very good, but the living environment is almost nothing, this is nothing, no matter how big the place, we only need to sleep in the area of one bed at night?"

"Mom, you shouldn't hide it from me, I've grown up, and I can share it for you, and I'll go to earn money to support you when I don't go to school. ”

"No, how old are you, what kind of money can you make? Don't say that again, at least you have to go to junior high school, or not... It's best to go to high school. ”

Hearing the baby daughter say that if she didn't want to study, Xiaoai's father was anxious and criticized harshly.

"Dad, I can really earn money, isn't the money I earned for you during the summer vacation? Let me tell you, Brother Xiao Yao has set up a food factory in Zhou Town, far away, and there are many girls about the same size as me, who work in it, and they have 30 yuan a month. ”

"Where did you get your money?"

Xiao Ai's mother widened her eyes in surprise, she didn't expect that Xiao Yao was so young, still studying, and set up a factory in another place. Xiao Ai said a little twisted:

"Actually, we didn't work, we were just curious and playing, and we helped fill up the gas and water for a few afternoons. ”

"How can you ask for money if you don't work?"

"Mom. It was not someone else, it was given by Brother Xiao Yao, he was afraid that you would worry, so he let us say that it was obtained by work-study. Not only that, but the money you gave you is less than half of what my brother gave me. My brother said, "If I give you more, you will be suspicious." The remaining 30 yuan, let me buy things myself. ”

Xiao Ai said this, took out the remaining more than 20 yuan in his pocket, and handed it to his mother.
