Chapter 11 Brother and Sister Wander Again and Joy in Suffering
Ngawang pulled Xinlan's hand away, picked her up, stared at her sister-in-law, and walked out without looking back. The kind-hearted Dr. Liu gave Xinlan ointment for burns and told them not to touch the water. Ngawang was stopped by Xinlan when she walked to the entrance of the village with Xinlan on her back, she wanted to take another look at the place that gave her eight years of happy life, and from now on, she didn't know when she would be able to come back. The thatched hut is still there, but there will be no more sweet potatoes planted by grandfather in it, and the house that shelters them from the wind and rain is still there, but the owner inside is no longer kind and kind, and there is still a grandfather who sleeps on the high mountain.
Two lines of hot tears flowed onto Ngawang's shoulders, Ngawang turned his head to look at Xinlan and said, "Let's go! This place has indeed given us a lot of happiness, but now happiness is gone, we are going to find the next happy place, the same as eight years ago, we will definitely be able to find it, believe me!"
"Brother, I believe in you, I believe in you at all times. ”
This was the first time the siblings had stepped out of the house, and when they came eight years ago, the road had been paved with thick cement, and many of the fields on both sides of the road were barren, presumably because there were too many people who had gone out to work, and it was easier to be outside than to stay at home with their backs to the loess and their backs to the sky. There are many families who may have moved their families, and they have seen several houses surrounded by tall weeds along the way. In the end, the siblings settled in a two-story red brick house, the front of the house was overgrown with weeds, and the single family must not have even children to play here. The gate was unlocked, only a rusty wire bolted to it. As soon as I pushed the door with my hand, I opened it, and except for the main room, which was locked, all other rooms could enter and exit freely, and the furniture was readily available. Ngawang cleaned out two rooms, fortunately it was summer, even if there was no quilt, he could also spend the night here.
After settling down, Ngawang said to Xinlan: "It's still early, my brother went up the mountain to find some wild fruits to eat." As soon as Xinlan heard that her brother was leaving, she immediately became anxious. Ngawang hurriedly continued: "I won't go far, it's on the hill behind the house, soon, I'll be back in a while, don't be afraid!" When Ngawang walked to the door, he was stopped by Xinlan again, Ngawang turned around and smiled at Xinlan and said, "It's okay, I'll be back soon." With that, he closed the door and went out.
The empty room was not a little angry, not even a mouse, the wound on his body was faintly painful, and Xinlan really regretted letting his brother go. My stomach is croaking, what a happy thing it is to have a grandfather! Now, when I think of the wandering life that is coming, I can't stop crying down.
Soon Ngawang came back with a bundle of firewood on his back and a few large corns in his arms. After putting down the firewood, Ngawang spread the corn in front of Xinlan and said, "We don't have to go hungry for a few days." Xinlan frowned and said, "Grandpa said you can't steal other people's things." Ngawang curled his lips and said, "Just treat it as someone else's good deed, and relieve us two called Huazi!" As soon as Xinlan heard the word Huazi, she remembered the days of begging in Shenzhen eight years ago, and immediately cried again. When Ngawang saw his sister crying, he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay." Don't cry, I'll just go back. Seeing that her brother was about to leave again, Xinlan hurriedly wiped away her tears and said, "Brother, I didn't cry for corn, it's just that you just mentioned calling Huazi, which reminds me of my days in Shenzhen, so I can't control it for a while." ”
Ngawang blamed himself and said: "It's my brother who is not good, my brother didn't give you a stable home, and my brother promises to help you find your nurse mother and never let anyone bully you again." ”
"There is a vast sea of people, how to find her! I can't remember where she is, what her name is. If you find my scorpion-hearted father, won't you jump into the fire by yourself?"
"Maybe Zhou Yulong lied to you? What father and mother would kill their own daughter!"
"Brother, you don't have to be relieved of my heart anymore, although I was still young at that time, I remember what happened that day clearly. I didn't understand it at the time, but now I think about it, if I wasn't their own daughter, how could I snatch it so easily from the nurse's mother on my birthday! ”
Ngawang shook Xinlan's hand and said, "Let's go to Henan, one hospital after another, how can we find your nurse mother, don't you understand if you ask the situation clearly, we can bear it whether it's good or bad, we're already adults, aren't we?" Xinlan nodded, but soon burst into tears.
The siblings stayed in this room for three days, during which time Ngawang found an excuse to steal a wallet containing thousands of dollars from the market. Xinlan knew what he was doing outside when she saw her brother happily carrying bottles and cans, but when she thought of their current situation, she could only pretend to be confused. As soon as Ngawang came in, he took a bag of things and hid them behind him, and mysteriously walked up to Xinlan and said, "Guess, what is this." ”
Xinlan rolled her eyes, smiled and said, "It won't be this delicious spicy dish!" Ngawang patted Xinlan's forehead lightly and said, "You delicious ghost, you know how to eat." He spread the bag hidden behind him in front of Xinlan and said, "Look, like it or not." Xinlan took the bag and opened it to see that it was a few new clothes, including a pink skirt. Ngawang knows that his sister also loves beauty as much as other girls, but the family is poor, and Xinlan is very sensible, and she does more work than other boys, so she often dresses up like boys. Once her grandfather said he wanted to buy her one, but she refused because she couldn't do her job, so she never wore a skirt. But no one can deny that Xinlan is the most beautiful girl in their village. Melon seed face, almond eyes, cherry mouth, black and beautiful hair, a figure of more than one meter and six, a living beauty embryo.
Xinlan held her skirt and smiled and said, "It's so beautiful! How much does it cost? Can I wear it out?"
"Yes, why can't it!, put it on, I'll wait to see the Seven Fairies descend to earth!" said Ngawang and closed the door and went out. Xinlan looked at this beautiful dress, danced with it excitedly, and then looked at the clothes burned by her sister-in-law, and was moved to tears.
Outside, Ngawang waited anxiously, and from time to time he came to the door to ask if he had changed. After waiting for a long time, Xinlan said that he could come in, and Ngawang couldn't wait to open the door to see, the pink skirt set off the skin like snow, the eyebrows were like inky face, and the black hair was floating on his shoulders.
Xinlan walked over and patted Ngawang's arm and said, "What's the matter, talk! Can I wear it properly? Can I wear it out?" Ngawang relented and said, "It's suitable, it's so suitable, if you don't believe it, you should believe your own eyes!" Let's go to the pond and have a look. As he spoke, he pulled Xinlan and ran to the pond next to the house.
Xinlan looked at the slim reflection in the water, and her nose was sour. Ngawang hurriedly teased: "Look! our crybaby is going to cry again." Upon hearing this, Xinlan laughed. Ngawang looked at the pond and said, "Oh, where have all the fish gone today?" Xinlan knew that her brother was joking with her again, so she smiled and stepped forward to chase after her, and the two of them chased around the pond, their red dresses and red faces were as beautiful as the sunset on the horizon.
