Chapter Forty-Six: The Hope Found

A small mountain village with white mountains and black waters, a cold winter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The oppressive cold air came out of the mine with choking soil, and after settling the day's wages, He Dazhuang put the only two banknotes in his arms, and he must not lose them, that was all his hope.

He Dazhuang has nothing to do with the strong in addition to the thick skeleton, he is very powerful, and his appetite is also very big, and he rarely eats enough, he thinks that being able to eat is the greatest happiness in the world, but since he has Anze, it has become different, the little baby he asked the aunt next door to take care of it, and the simple mountain village people are willing to help.

An Ze was picked up by him in the snowy night, under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, the child was swaddled very tightly, even if the weather was very cold, he was quiet and did not cry, when he looked at He Dazhuang with innocent eyes, he seemed to be the most unfortunate person in the world, at that time He Dazhuang was very careful, very careful to pick up this little life, gently kissed the tender face, was pierced by his hard beard, and the child "giggled" and laughed.

He believed that this child was destined for him, and he almost all the children in the village were hugged by him, and they were pierced by his hard beard, all of them howled and cried, only this child was laughing, he was lonely for more than 20 years, and God treated him well.

Since then, He Dazhuang has had an extra son, with two words embroidered on the swaddling clothes, very beautiful, but he doesn't know it, his name is still taught by the village chief for a whole day before he knows, and now it is crooked and twisted and pure not like words.

I asked the sister-in-law next door to go to junior high school, only to know that it was the word "Anze", probably the child's name, in fact, since I am willing to throw away the most precious things, why bother with what the child is called, maybe we will never see each other in this life, it doesn't matter what it is called, but after thinking about it, leaving a name may come to find it one day, for a child, nothing is more important than his parents, so He Dazhuang knew two words "Anze" in addition to his own name!

In addition to a hard strength, He Dazhuang has no other ability, carrying coal in the mine is the only capital to settle down, but since he has a child, he also has a small wish, so that he can go to college in the future, make up for his lack of literacy, and also have enough ability to survive.

From the day of Anze, he carried twice as much coal every day as others, and his salary was twice as much, although he was very tired, but thinking that a small life would thrive under his wings, the corners of his mouth would always show a smile, and the exhaustion was swept away, and his body seemed to have inexhaustible strength, which was nothing.

It's just that the stomach is getting more and more full, and it's always difficult.

Fortunately, there is a river in the mountains, and although the river is frozen in this weather, there is a lot of life under the water, and as long as you dig a hole in the ice half a meter thick, the fish will jump up.

After finishing work, it was already very dark, and when I went to the neighbor's house to see the smiling children, He Dazhuang was a hundred times more courageous, and went to the river with a firewood knife and ice chisel.

It was already dark when he got to the river, and it took a lot of time to break through the ice, and the hook was thrown down, just wait for the fish to take the bait, but He Dazhuang didn't go back this night, and when his sister-in-law who picked up the child looked at it several times, no one was in the cold room.

Until the morning, He Dazhuang, who was dragging a wolf in one hand, came back with scars, with more than a dozen fish more than a foot on his shoulder, he threw the fish and the wolf to his sister-in-law, asking her to sell them, buy some milk powder for the child, and the rest of the money was the sister-in-law's hard work to take care of the child.

After saying that, he turned around and went to work, and it was not okay to earn one less day.

The sister-in-law next door watched He Dazhuang brave the heavy snow and walked towards the mine, and gently patted the child's buttocks twice: "He is a hundred times better than your own father!" ”

In this way, the child grew up day by day, and he had already started to go to school when He Dazhuang didn't pay much attention, and the pressure was greater, but He Dazhuang didn't give up, and still lived a life of working during the day and catching fish at night.

Even if he was tired and about to die, An Ze called "Dad" made He Dazhuang feel that no matter what he did, it was worth it.

But when An Ze was older, he would drag He Dazhuang and ask, "Dad, why is my surname An and what is your surname?" ”

He Dazhuang, who was clumsy in words, didn't know how to explain, speechless, he had to go hunting or find something else to do, do you want to tell him that he was abandoned by his parents and picked it up by himself, although he will know sooner or later, but this kind of injury is better to come later, at least when he can bear it.

But what should have come will come, and far sooner than he thought.

On the first day of junior high school, An Ze ran home at noon in a daze, until He Dazhuang came back from work, he sat in the dark room and asked, "Dad, did you pick it up!" ”

Seeing An Ze crying, He Dazhuang panicked, he would not comfort people, he had never done this kind of thing in his life, he didn't know how to say it, he was afraid that if he didn't say it well, he would hurt the child.

Seeing He Dazhuang's panicked look, An Ze knew that it was impossible to be wrong to have a child without a father and mother, but he became happy and hugged He Dazhuang's arm: "Dad, I am your own child, even if someone comes to me, I don't want it!" ”

Only a teenager, An Ze knew a lot, he knew that He Dazhuang was very good to him, most biological parents can't do it, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have biological parents, he has a better father than his biological parents.

From this day on, little Anze grew up overnight, he became the hardest working student in the class, he hoped that one day with his own ability to let his father, who carried coal to feed him every day, out of this small mountain village, and lived a good life, he knew that his father had a lot of food, but he never had enough, it was all for him.

He never said it, but he tried harder.

Even if someone pointed at his back and laughed: "Look, that kid without a father and no mother!" "He never argues with anyone, he knows that learning is the only way out for him, and he understands it much earlier than his peers.

Hard work in exchange for fruitful returns, since junior high school he showed amazing learning talent, just three years, he finished all the textbooks of junior high school and high school, and is familiar with it, learning has not posed a challenge to him, he can't wait to jump out of the small mountain village, start the future life, he has been to the big city, there is very good he likes very much, and hopes that his father can live in a clean and spacious house in the future, without doing this kind of early death of physical work.

In fact, this kind of thought has been burning strongly since the day he knew that he was an outcast, and he has been constantly urging him to act quickly, all the seemingly incredible talent displays, it is hard work every night, but fortunately, the efforts are not in vain.

Sure enough, in a mathematics competition, he overcame all obstacles, passed the hurdles, fought his way out of the encirclement, won the championship, he was not yet fifteen years old, he became the focus of the audience, Chen Xianzhen, a professor at a famous university, had a few questions, he answered them fluently, and his knowledge completely exceeded his age.

Chen Xianzhen was very satisfied, and learned that his family was poor, so he immediately decided to admit him to study at the university.

An Ze, who just smiled indifferently, went home and cried all night, and he worked hard in a desperate way, and finally advanced the time to get out of the mountain village by several years.

Knowing that the child was admitted to the university exceptionally, He Dazhuang laughed for a whole day, drunk for the first time in his life, and there was only one sentence in his mouth: "Very good!" ”

A simple and honest man, even if he is drunk to express his happiest mood, it is also a sentence of "Very good!" ”

An Ze swore in front of the drunk He Dazhuang: "I can make money in the future, I will support you!" ”

But He Dazhuang, who woke up the next day, went to work as usual, and his life remained the same.

Two months later, An Ze left the small mountain village, Professor Chen learned about An Ze's situation and came to pick him up in person, He Dazhuang didn't dare to look at it, he went to the mine, he was afraid that he would not be able to stand crying when he saw An Ze leave, no matter how he said it, he was a strong man, and it was embarrassing to cry.

An Ze sat in the car, kept looking back, after all, he didn't see his father's figure, he cried very sadly, but he knew that his father was afraid that he would be sad, and he was afraid that he would be sad, he could understand that kind of feeling, two people who depended on each other were separated at once, as long as they thought about it, they were sad.

When he returned home, it was not cold, An Ze burned the house very warm when he left, just like when he was there, there was enough food on the table for him to eat a full meal, although it was simple, but it was very warm to eat, He Daqiang ate with a mouthful, and shed tears for the first time in his life, the man who was scratched by a wolf and didn't shed a single tear that night couldn't stop his tears at the moment.

In the following days, He Dazhuang still refused to take it easy, although An Ze didn't have to spend a penny to go to school, but he knew that life in a big city was not easy, and he didn't want An Ze to be looked down upon, so he still worked hard to make more money.

Anze didn't forget his father in the mountain village in the dazzling big city, he didn't care what others thought, he started to do odd jobs after studying, every penny was carefully saved, although it was very hard, he was very content, the thickness of the coin may represent the thickness of happiness, and one day his father will have enough happiness.

He writes letters to his father every month, his father can't read, but he believes that his father can feel the warmth conveyed in the letter, he sends all the money he saves to his father, and every time he tells him to eat more and do less, he can already make money, don't worry about it so much.

But He Dazhuang still did the work of two people, took two artificial money, and the money sent by An Ze was saved by him.

The child will always grow up, will get married, will have his own home, the house in the city is expensive and expensive, he will do everything to save money, he doesn't want An Ze to be looked down on by his beloved girl one day.

An Ze went to college for a few years, He Dazhuang kept repeating the original days, it didn't change, he never went to see An Ze, An Ze never came back, he refused to go to see An Ze because he was afraid of embarrassing An Ze, An Ze refused to come back to save money, and his letter to his father was never broken.
