Chapter 189: Bitter
The old man doesn't look very old, he should be in his fifties, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is middle-aged, but his figure already looks a little rickety. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, Wang Xiaode knew through the eyes of yin and yang that this was not an old man at all, his real age should only be in his thirties, it seems that the other party's family background is not cheating, it is indeed difficult, otherwise it is impossible to show old age in such a prime of life, which reminds Wang Xiaode of Teacher Li of Bazao Village, and is also the current Principal Li of Bazao Primary School.
Although this person is not as noble as Mr. Li's deeds, it should also be for the sake of the family, at least worthy of respect.
The old man was also happy to see Li Jidao, and he stepped forward and hugged Li Jidao and squatted on the ground and cried bitterly, but he only stopped crying for a while.
He looked around, and he knew that it was unlikely that a child would be recovered, and that someone should help him. At this time, I glanced around and noticed Wang Xiaode, who had been standing quietly outside the house.
This person first asked Li Jidao, "Xiaodao, is this person sending you back?" ”
"Well, the master said to send me home to see." Li Jidao has a hundred trusts in his uncle, and the level of trust is much higher than that of Wang Xiaode, who has just apprenticed. So he replied without hesitation.
At this time, although Li Jidao's uncle was happy because of Li Jidao's return, he was anxious about his inability to raise Li Jidao
Although he didn't understand why Li Jidao called that person a master, it could be seen that Li Jidao seemed to have a good relationship with this person. He doesn't expect Li Jidao to meet any good people now, he just hopes that Li Jidao can have a way to live and grow up safely, he didn't think about asking the government for help, but who would help a child with a family.
If Li Jidao is an orphan, it may be okay, but he is still alive and Li Jidao's own uncle, and it is impossible for the government to help. He wants to see a doctor for his father and take care of his children, it's not that there is no way, and he won't abandon Li Jidao.
Uncle Li took Li Jidao to Wang Xiaode, and knelt down to Wang Xiaode without any mental preparation.
Wang Xiaode was caught off guard, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, Brother Li, what are you doing, let's sit down and talk slowly, there's no need for this." ”
Li Jidao next to him was a little frightened by his uncle, with tears in his eyes, and went up to pull his uncle's sleeve.
No matter what Wang Xiaode said, or supported, this person was reluctant to get up, and said in his mouth, "Boss, listen to me first, I can see that you are a great person." I am Xiaodao's uncle, my name is Li Qinlao, I have a paralyzed father above, a frail wife in the middle, and two children below. My family almost lives on the harvest in my field, and I really can't afford to raise Xiaodao, I beg you, since you have accepted Xiaodao as an apprentice," he pulled Xiaodao into his arms as he spoke, and Xiaodao was so frightened that he howled and cried, looking miserable. "Just let him follow you, beat and scold as you want, as long as you can keep this child alive. Please, please, please......"
Li Qinlao had to knock his head on the ground every time he said a word, and his attitude was extremely sincere, and gradually a shallow pit appeared on the ground. Fortunately, it was muddy, and the ground was not too hard, otherwise it would have been a few knocks.
"Okay, okay, I promise you, you get up first." Wang Xiaode finally helped Li Qinhard up, and then he had time to say, "Actually, I came today for Xiaodao's business, I really want to take Xiaodao away, and I just don't want to leave regrets for Xiaodao this time." You don't have to. ”
Li Qinlao immediately smiled when he heard Wang Xiaode say this, not because he was happy because he lost Li Jidao, he was not a merciless person, but happy because Li Jidao had a way to live.
"Yes, let's sit in the house, sit in the house" Li Qinlao only noticed that everyone was still talking outside the house, and the kneeling and begging just now also made him a little embarrassed. By inviting Wang Xiaode into the stall of the house, he hurriedly swept the dust off his face.
After entering the house, the entrance is a red-tiled house with a few cracks in the wall, there are two rooms, east and west, there is no door in the room, and even the main hall door can be easily kicked open with some force.
At this moment, a thin woman figure walked out of the east room, holding a girl in her left hand and a boy in her right hand. Standing at the door of the room, he looked at Wang Xiaode and Li Jidao, but did not speak.
After Li Qinlao entered the house, he smiled apologetically at Wang Xiaode, then walked next to the woman and pulled the woman into the back room, said something, and walked out after a while.
At the same time, he said to Wang Xiaode, "Boss, don't be surprised, that's my daughter-in-law, I haven't seen anyone else." ”
Wang Xiaode can naturally see the relationship between this family, and their luck is closely linked to Li Qinlao. Apparently extremely close family members.
"Has your family always been like this? It stands to reason that although Dongtai County is a small county, it should not be so economically poor. It's not too far from the Special Zone. "Wang Xiaode is the mayor of Taishan and knows some of the local economic situation, but he is not clear about the specific situation in the corners.
"Hey" Li Qinlao sighed first, and served Wang Xiaode a bowl of water, using a large coarse porcelain bowl. also sat down and said to Wang Xiaode, "We were okay, but who made us come from a bad background." ”
Born badly, in this era of reform and opening up, this is almost a very distant word, when the Red Dynasty Taizu was proud of his low status. The poorer the peasants, the more upright they are, and the easier it is to develop. It can be said that there is no one in the country who should be poor because of his birth.
Seeing Wang Xiaode's doubts, Li Qinlao explained, "This actually starts from the time of my grandfather, when my grandfather was a famous god of our generation, saying that he could pass through ghosts and gods, you also know what the nature of this matter will be in the cultural reform, but this is not the most important thing, after all, after so many years, there are a lot of incense burners now." The other is that my grandfather joined the reactionary army back then, and later he also ran on the island. This is known from far and near. The combination of these two events has made my family a well-known crooked family, and there are several families in a village like mine. ”
Hearing this, Wang Xiaode probably understood that even if the reform and opening up has been going on for many years, the shadow of the past history is still there, and habits have become natural.
After all, even if there is still a negative attitude towards ghosts and gods, the prejudice caused by it for a long time is not so easy to undo.
"It will get better in the future, the times are different," Wang Xiaode said comfortingly.
"Hey, I don't know that the times are different, but you look at my big family, old, sick, and young." As he spoke, he sighed one after another. (To be continued.) )
