Chapter 47: The Distance of Happiness
Childhood is over. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Anze took on another responsibility in the reinforced concrete of the big city, his father was not too old, but he was too old, and many years of heavy physical labor made him age very quickly, although he never said it, it can be seen that people who are less than forty years old are much older than forty-year-olds in the city, Anze is very worried about his father's body, but he can't stop his stubbornness, so he can only work hard, hoping to make his father easy as soon as possible.
For him, Dad rejected other people's suggestions for blind dates, no one likes a man with a drag oil bottle, and he is not his own child.
In the first two years of his arrival, he was with strong curiosity and excitement, with great confidence and courage into the city, he hoped to find his piece of the world here, when the time came, his father did not have to shield him from the wind and rain, in three years, he did not leave his studies, his grades were still the best in the same level, and he did not let go of his part-time job, all kinds of work-study opportunities will not be missed, he can fully support himself, but there is still a gap from the goal.
He doesn't like to keep money in the bank, all the money except for sending it to his father, life necessities, are stored in small boxes, and the loose and broken coins are placed in different categories, which represents the thickness of happiness, looking at the paper money that is growing every day, it is closer to happiness.
However, all good dreams will not be easily realized, and will even be dismembered.
An Ze, who helped in the car wash, accidentally scratched a luxury car, which not only made his monthly salary wasted, but also was beaten by the angry car owner, the injury was not too serious, he felt that he could still hold on, so he didn't go to the hospital and lay in the rented basement, but in his opinion, the astronomical amount of compensation that needed to be compensated weighed him down, a scratch, worth 100,000!
Look at the money saved in the box in the past three years, it is less than 20,000 yuan in total, he eats the worst meal, does the most work, and does not earn a single scratch of money, it turns out that the distance from happiness is so far away.
He didn't write to his father for two months, and he paid all the money to the car owner, but he was humiliated in public.
He didn't have any money to send to his father, and he didn't know what to tell him.
A few years ago, the city that seemed novel and fun to him is now full of gray, people at the bottom of society abound, there are very few people who can live a so-called happy life, those things that seem interesting are also disgusting now, he is only a 17-year-old child, no matter how good his learning talent is, he can't change it from others, he gradually understands that some things can probably be changed without hard work.
He still works part-time and still studies hard, but his hopes are getting smaller and smaller, and sometimes he even wants to go back to the village after graduation, where as long as his father is there, life is hard, but it is very warm.
But when he returned to the basement door one day, he was surprised to see his father squatting at the door, smiling at him, with a gray bag stuffed with things around him.
"Daddy!" An Ze's tears flowed down, the honest and simple man in front of him has aged a lot, and the traces engraved on his father's face are also engraved in his heart, even if the whole world is indifferent to him, the man in front of him will smile at him, maybe not say much, but the solid palm will definitely pat his shoulder and give him strength.
I didn't receive a letter from An Ze for two months, and my father was very worried, and for the first time in his life, he went out of the mountains and came to a strange city, just to see him.
I haven't seen him for so long, naturally I have a lot to say, but most of the time An Ze is talking, Dad just listens quietly, and when it comes to the huge amount of compensation, An Ze cries and says, "Dad, I'm sorry!" ”
Dad comforted: "It's okay! There were only two words, and then there were the banknotes spread out in the bag, and a lot of the money he had sent to his father over the years was lying there, and some of the money was stained with indelible soot and blood, which represented a basket of coal and coins exchanged for his life in the deep mountains and old forests.
Despite this, it was not enough to compensate, Dad became a part of the city, the city prospered, Dad was old, Anze was growing, and with Dad by his side, he was stronger than ever.
Dad worked four jobs a day, he went to the train station to carry his bags before dawn, and at noon he went to the restaurant to help, in the afternoon he went to carry the bag, and in the evening he went to the restaurant to help, and even wanted to find a job as a night security guard, but because he was illiterate, this idea ran aground. Every time I ate the leftovers that my father brought back from the restaurant, my father said that the guests had not moved, and An Ze wanted to cry, but my father was reluctant to eat them, so he left them to him, because he was growing his body.
On a rare and idle day, Dad didn't have to go to the train station to carry his bag, he didn't have to go to class, he wanted to take Dad to school to see, but Dad insisted on not going, he was afraid of embarrassing Anze.
An Ze looked at his father's eyes seriously: "Dad, you are the greatest pride in my life!" ”
He has been proud of his father since he was ten years old, and even more so now, although his father has no money, he can't compare to the whole world he has given himself, picked himself up from the snow, raised him little by little, and provided for himself to go to school, but he has always been wronged that he has not eaten well or dressed well.
made an exception to change into the best clothes, and Dad was still very cramped when he went out with Anze.
"Let's not go!" Dad said.
"Gotta go, Daddy!" An Ze smiled, he was not afraid of other people's eyes at all, and he was not afraid of it since he was a child, because this was a weight that his father and the whole world could not compare.
Good fortune did not occupy their side on this day, and this day was the day that An Ze felt the most guilty about.
"Dad, our school is huge, bigger than our village!" An Ze excitedly described his school to his father, which was full of his dreams, and he could earn money to support his family after graduating in one year, and he was excited when he thought of this.
"Hey, stinky boy!"
An Ze was stunned, and turned his head to see the person he didn't want to see, his creditor Ah Cai.
He still has 50,000 yuan to pay.
In fact, this kind of trivial matter Ah Cai has long forgotten, but today I came to see this slum area that was about to be developed by his father, and unexpectedly saw An Ze.
That day, because of the scratches on the car, a beautiful sister who was about to get into someone else's car, and she got angry when she thought of it.
The father, who couldn't figure out the situation at all, watched his son being beaten inexplicably, and the honest father, who had never been in a fight, was furious, and he knocked Ah Cai down with one punch.
Ah Cai covered his nose and wailed, the rest of the people shifted their targets, and his father, who could fight with the beast, was knocked to the ground, he was afraid that An Ze would be injured, so he protected An Ze tightly, and countless punches and kicks fell on his body.
It didn't work to plead loudly, Dad just protected him like a rock, and gradually An Ze felt the warm smell of blood on his face, he tried to turn his head, and saw that Dad was oozing blood from his nostrils and the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were blurred, but he still tried to pretend to be laughing when he saw him.
"Dad......" An Ze was frightened: "Don't fight, please don't fight, my dad can't do it!" He could see that his father's internal organs must have been injured, but Acai, who didn't care at all, ordered to continue fighting.
Five minutes later, Dad lay motionless on An Ze's back, the temperature on his body was decreasing little by little, and An Ze's pupils turned gray.
Seeing that the person seemed to be really dead, Ah Cai knew that the big thing was not good, but it was too late.
It's too late, An Ze looked at Ah Cai with gray eyes, he wants to keep this person in his heart, and he will never forget it for the rest of his life, and in the rest of the future, he will do everything he can to make his family ruined, and avenging his father has become the driving force to support him to live.
Two days later, An Ze sat in the basement holding his father's ashes, and at the same time there was 200,000 yuan in compensation from Ah Cai.
What can you do with 200,000 yuan, you can buy a kitchen in a house in this city, you can buy a medium-sized car with good performance, but if you follow Dad's way of life, 200,000 yuan is enough for him to use for a lifetime, and Dad has never eaten well in his life, and in the end, he exchanged a life for 200,000 yuan.
Anze kept crying, his dreams all exist because of his father, now that his father is gone, his dreams are gone, that Ah Cai bought everyone, his father died of overwork and chronic malnutrition, he didn't believe it! Maybe there are reasons for this, but it is by no means the main thing, he doesn't sleep all night, and plans to kill Ah Cai in various ways, without his father, he is so lonely in this world.
Two months later, on the night, Ah Cai was killed in the underground parking lot, his head was knocked into a rotten watermelon by an iron rod, the woman in the car with him was scared silly, the young man who looked thin and quiet, he was not merciless, every time he used all his strength, he didn't stop even if he died, with great hatred, the iron rod was smashed and bent, and his head was also smashed, and then the boy glanced at him, smiled on his bloodstained face and said, "Call the police!" ”
An Ze died in his basement, and when the police arrived, the hanging body was already cold, and he used duct tape to glue his body and his father's ashes tightly, even if he died, he would be with his father, no one in this world was more important than his father. He knows that no matter how hard he tries, he can't compete with the magic of money, and money can change everything, but he has no money, only a worthless life, and he is just an ant anyway, so he might as well do something for his father.
He knew that if his father knew that he was doing this, he would definitely scold him, and maybe he would beat him for the first time in his life, but he was very relieved, until he died, with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth, the world could not save his father, and he could not save him, so he would simply go to hell together.
An Ze's matter only stirred up a small wave in the city, the seventeen-year-old boy was once extremely optimistic about the genius, like a meteor across the sky, without leaving much trace, disappeared, less than a week, this sighing thing was drowned in the star's lace news, no one noticed, three different lives, and finally came to the same road, but it was not over.
