"Your dad is busy with work and doesn't have time to play with you, what are you going to do? Besides, you're a little kid, how do you get there? "Meng Qingqing has never been to the provincial capital before, let alone how can she go alone as a child?
Dad must have been lying in the hospital at this time, but Grandma's words showed that she didn't know about Daddy's illness. In her previous life, she and her grandmother only learned that their father had been sick for a long time after her father died. The uncle and uncle hid it from themselves and their grandmother, on the surface, they didn't want them to worry, but in fact, they were afraid that they would know from their father's mouth that their father had those properties, and they couldn't let them occupy those properties as a matter of course, so they concealed them and didn't let them go to see their father!
Meng Qingqing thought that she was going to see her father no matter what, maybe her rebirth could change her father's fate and make her father not leave them so early. Grandma won't be too sad and leave half a year after Dad is gone.
Thinking of those things in her previous life, Meng Qingqing couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, "Grandma, I miss my father, I want to go and see him, if you don't worry about me, let's go and see him together, okay?" ”
Grandma hurriedly helped her wipe her tears, "Good Qing'er, don't cry, hey!" Your father too, said that you were in junior high school and took you and me to the provincial capital, but now that you are in junior high school, he suddenly said that he was busy with work, and he will talk about it later, you won't see your father a few times this year, what a poor child. ”
Meng Qingqing cried even more sadly, and her grandmother said distressedly: "Okay! Later, you go to the village office and call your father, and if he is not too busy these days, you can go to see him and ask your uncle to send you there. Your uncle too, their unit should also be on vacation, and they won't come back to see me, an old woman, who forgot to marry a daughter-in-law! Your sister-in-law is too, and she won't come back after she gets married. Also, how good their life is in the county, in this poor ravine, there is dust all over again, and the road is not easy to walk. ”
Meng Qingqing interrupted her grandmother's nagging, "Grandma, where is Dad's phone number?" ”
"You girl, didn't you write it down on the wall calendar in your room? Why did you have such a bad memory this morning? At such an age, I am so forgetful, I am not as good as an old woman! ”
Meng Qingqing ran back to her room, and sure enough, on the wall calendar on the wall, she found her father's phone number. Meng Qingqing wrote down the phone number in his hand and silently memorized it in his heart.
Grandma said: "It's not even seven o'clock now, and the village office won't open until after eight o'clock, you go and carry some water, and I'll cook a bowl of noodles for you to eat before you go."
Two thousand years, the outside world is changing with each passing day, there are modern buildings everywhere, but the Mengjia village where I am located is still so backward, decades like a day, there is no change, every family is a mud house, drinking water has to go to the pond at the entrance of the village to pick, the water in the pond is the rainwater accumulation, and then filter the water. If it doesn't rain for a long time on a dry day, drinking water will be a problem. No wonder the girls in the village are bent on marrying outside, and those who go out to work are reluctant to come back. This village is located deep in the mountains, and people's drinking water is a problem, let alone the crops, and the harvest depends on God. Mengjia Village can be said to be the poorest village in the entire county. I don't know why the previous ancestors chose such a remote place to settle down.
Meng Qingqing walked towards the pool with the bucket.
There are a few women washing clothes by the pool, and Meng Zhaodi's mother Aunt Wang, who goes to school with Meng Qingqing, is also there, because Meng Zhaodi and Meng Qingqing are in the same class from elementary school to junior high school, and they are in the same village, so the two of them naturally came together, and the relationship is relatively good.
Aunt Wang said: "Qingqing, I heard that your father has made a fortune outside and wants to take you to the provincial capital to go to school, why hasn't he come to pick you up after more than a month of school?"
Meng Qingqing's family, uncle, uncle and sister-in-law all went to college and worked outside, so in the eyes of the people of Mengjia Village, the family is promising, some of the people in the village are envious, and some are jealous, words like this are often heard, Meng Qingqing smiled and smiled before, and never took the words of the villagers to heart, because she never carefully understood the meaning of those words, but after a lifetime, Meng Qingqing was not a twelve-year-old girl's mind after all, she heard the ridicule in Aunt Wang's words.
Meng Qingqing said lightly: "My father has been delayed for a while, and I will go to school in the provincial capital next semester."
Meng Qingqing is not talking big, she knows that her father has a house in the provincial capital, and she will definitely go to school in the provincial capital, but it is impossible this semester, and the most important thing at present is to save her father.
"It's not going to change this time, is it? It turned out that you went to school in the provincial capital when you were in junior high school, and it has been said for half a year. Now it's about the next semester. ”
Meng Qingqing bent down to fill the water, and said while flickering and walking out: "My father has already bought a house in the provincial capital, and sooner or later I will go to school in the provincial capital." left an exclamation, "Buying a house in the provincial capital, Meng Zijun has really made a fortune!" ”
Meng Qingqing knew that within half an hour, this matter would spread all over the village, and she just wanted to let everyone in the village know that her father had bought a house in the provincial capital, so that she would see if the uncle would dare to fight the idea of that house.
Meng Qingqing picked up the water home and poured it into the stone tank in the kitchen, and then picked it up, she decided to go to the provincial capital to find her father, take care of her father, she may not come back for a long time, she wants to fill the water tank with water, it is not easy for grandma to be alone at home, in this world, except for Dad, it is grandma who is the best for her.
She was reborn at this time, her heart was happy and heavy, the joy was that she could start again, she could see her grandmother and father again, she was not alone, the heavy thing was that her father only had more than a month, she hoped that her father could change the trajectory of her fate because of her rebirth, but she was afraid that she still couldn't change anything, and she still couldn't hold her father's hand. There was also the death of my grandmother half a year later. She didn't know if she could make a difference.
When Meng Qingqing went to the pond for the second time, she felt that the atmosphere was a little unusual, and when Aunt Wang saw her, she turned her head to the side angrily and ignored her, while beating her clothes hard, while talking to others, as if she had a grudge against Meng Qingqing.
Meng Qingqing knew that her previous words made her jealous, every time she took the exam, Meng Qingqing's score was higher than that of Meng Zhaodi, Aunt Wang had such an expression, suddenly ignored Meng Qingqing, or was angry with her, after a few days she saw Meng Qingqing, and she was very enthusiastic about her, because the school was in the town, more than 30 kilometers away from the village, and only the two girls in the village went to junior high school, so it was impossible for Meng Qingqing not to get along with Meng Zhaodi because of Meng Zhaodi's mother's capricious attitude, and Meng Zhaodi's mother was also like this, Although she is very jealous that Meng Qingqing often overpowers her daughter in study, she doesn't want her daughter to fall out with Meng Qingqing, and on the way to and from school, they have to go together!
