"Yaya, you go to the store and wait for me. I'll pick you up at the store after this trip. Zheng Zhishang looked at Lin Yu, a sweaty little girl, and said with concern:

But no, since the beginning of summer, there has been no rain on this day, the scorching sun is in the sky every day, the little girl's body is not very good, and she has to follow herself out to collect waste on a hot day. In case of heat stroke, don't mention how bad it is.

The little girl shook her head and said with a sweet smile: "Brother, I'm not tired." ”

"Drink a little water and rest for a while." Zheng Zhishang also knew in his heart that he couldn't convince the little girl, if he could convince her, he wouldn't follow him all over the street to collect waste on a hot day. I found a shady place, opened the kettle, and let the little girl drink saliva.

Watching the little girl "goo dong, goo dong" gulping water, she looked like she was also thirsty.

Distressedly, she wiped the sweat on her face with a towel for the little girl, and said as if talking to herself: "Follow Brother, it's hard work." ”

The little girl narrowed her eyes, temporarily released a sweet smile again, shook her head and said, "Don't be bitter, brother, you also drink water." ”

"Hmm" Zheng Zhishang took the kettle, looked at the children who had already finished school and followed his aunt and father home, and said in his heart that it was a lie not to envy, although God gave him a chance to be reborn, he was abandoned by his parents in his previous life and became an orphan, so he was extremely envious of those children who had parents.

I also desperately want to have a home and the love of my parents. In this life, although this wish has come true, although the body is disabled, but with the love and care of grandma and abba, Zheng Zhishang is also very satisfied and happy. It's just that this happiness was too short-lived, and it lasted less than six years.

Looking at the sky, Zheng Zhishang suddenly missed Abba, Grandma, Brother Zheng Zhihao, and Sister Zheng Zhixin. The two little ones are already one year old, leaving the two little ones alone in their hometown and running to the city by themselves, I don't know if Abba and Grandma will be angry.

"Brother......

"Hmm" Zheng Zhishang, who was a little distracted, was called by the little girl, came back to his senses, looked at the little girl looking at him nervously, smiled slightly, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Brother, what are you thinking? Are you thinking about Brother Zhihao and Sister Zhixin? ”

Zheng Zhishang rubbed the little girl's head and smiled: "Well, it's been more than half a year since I came out, and I don't know how the two of them are doing now, whether they are still the same as when they were children, often sick." ”

"Brother and sister, like Yaya, often go to the hospital to see doctors and take medicine?"

The little girl and Zheng Zhishang have been for more than two months, and at the request of the little girl, Zheng Zhishang also told the little girl some things about his childhood, and naturally mentioned his two dragon and phoenix siblings.

Zheng Zhishang nodded with a smile and said, "Yes." ”

Maybe it's the lack of mother's care, I haven't eaten any breast milk, and the health of the two little ones is not very good, almost like Zheng Zhishang when he was a child, he was sick and had a fever from time to time, which made Abba, who was already extremely hard and tired every day, even more tired.

Otherwise, it would not have been a heavy snowfall last year, so the two little guys were sent to the county hospital together and walked in the ghost gate.

The two little guys are also lucky, they have been separated for two years, plus the poured red mushrooms, and the family also has some savings, if it is like the beginning, there is no separation, I really don't know what the ending will be for the two little guys.

"Brother, let's go back to our hometown and see them, okay? Yaya also wants to meet Zhihao's brother and Zhixin's sister. The little girl said with a pleading face:

Zheng Zhishang patted the little girl's head and said softly: "They are still young, when they are older, I will take you to pick them up." ”

"Pick them up in Xiamen?"

Zheng Zhishang nodded, "um".

"Brother, after Brother Zhihao and Sister Zhixin come, will you not want Yaya." The little girl Lin Yu was only happy for a short time, and then she looked worried and asked timidly:

The little girl actually has this kind of worry, but she is relieved when she thinks about it, after all, she is still a child's mentality, Zheng Zhihao and Zheng Zhixin are her own brothers and sisters, and it is normal for the little girl to have this kind of worry. looked at the little girl, pretended to ponder: "Well, if you are not obedient and secretly eat barbecue, Brother will not want you." ”

It's just that Zheng Zhishang didn't expect that this joke actually made the little girl take it seriously, her face was pitiful, tears were about to fall, and she begged: "Yaya will be very well-behaved and obedient, brother, don't leave Yaya ......"

On the contrary, Zheng Zhishang was stunned, a little caught off guard, originally just saw the appearance of the little girl, and wanted to tease, but he didn't expect this to be the result, and hurriedly comforted the little girl, "Brother, I'm joking with you." Before Yaya grows up, Brother will always take care of you and protect you. ”

"Why can't I be with my brother when I grow up before I grow up?"

Looking at the little girl's ignorant and innocent little face, Zheng Zhishang smiled and said, "When Yaya grows up, she will meet someone who can take care of Yaya, but marry him and form a new home with him." ”

"Don't, don't be separated from your brother, never separate......" What Zheng Zhishang didn't expect was that the little girl immediately threw herself into Zheng Zhishang's arms, hugged Zheng Zhishang tightly, and said crying:

"Yaya, even if I get married, I am still your brother, and we are still a family." Zheng Zhishang gently patted the little girl's back and said with relief:

It's a pity that the little girl is too young, and she can't understand what she says about getting married or marrying.

This made Zheng Zhishang secretly complain, children's education is really difficult, there are too many things to learn. But these are not in a hurry, the little girl will always be full of understanding in the future.

It took a lot of effort to stop the little girl's tears, and seeing that it was not early, Zheng Zhishang also pulled the cart and continued to go to the recycling station with the little girl. It's just that I hung my head all the way, looking listless, maybe I'm still thinking about getting married and getting married.

When he arrived at the recycling station, Zheng Zhishang let the little girl rest on the side, and he unloaded the goods with the help of Uncle Chen and others.

"Xingxing, I heard that you opened your own shop, and the business is quite good, so I didn't think about not collecting scrap." Uncle Chen asked with a smile:

"Uncle Chen, the first job I did after coming to Xiamen not only allowed me to support myself, but also allowed me to meet and make a lot of friends in this city. Although I'm a little tired and don't make much money, if I don't do it, I'm really a little reluctant. Zheng Zhishang replied with a smile:

Nowadays, in this city, there are more and more waste products, and the price of waste products has fluctuated.

Otherwise, in the 21st century, there were more waste products in urban and rural areas, and those who were engaged in collecting waste products were some people who had no ability to live.

"Xingxing, I see that you have opened a store now, and I want to collect scrap?" Uncle Chen, said with a smile:

"Hmm" Zheng Zhishang was slightly stunned, although it was not the first time he had heard Uncle Chen say this, but this time when he heard Uncle Chen's words, he was obviously a little bitter, and asked with concern: "Uncle Chen, what's wrong?" Is it that the resolution on restructuring has already been issued? ”

Uncle Chen sighed, nodded and said, "I haven't gone down yet, but it's coming soon, it says that some people will be laid off." ”

Zheng Zhishang was slightly stunned, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, this wave of layoffs only appeared in the late 80s, when state-owned enterprises implemented shareholding reform, and some state-owned factories and enterprises were contracted to private individuals. In the process of rectification, a large number of idle personnel who are not up to standard technology have been laid off.

I didn't expect Xiamen to be ahead of schedule, smiled, and said with relief: "Uncle Chen, don't worry, you and Aunt Chen will no longer be in the ranks of laid-off people, you have been engaged in waste management for many years, you have trained a pair of sharp eyes, talents like you, they will not let you be laid off." ”

"I'm just a porter." Perhaps amused by Zheng Zhishang's words, Uncle Chen smiled embarrassedly and a little embarrassed. Still a little worried, he sighed, "Forget it, I don't want to do these things, it's really not good, I'll collect waste with you and give you a hand." ”

Seeing Uncle Chen thinking like this, Zheng Zhishang was also slightly relieved, and said with a smile: "How can you get started, as long as you don't hoard waste products, like me, you can send it to the recycling station as much as you collect every day, and you don't need much principal, you and Aunt Chen are really laid off, and you can do it alone." ”

chatted with Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen and a few workers at the recovery station for a while, and Zheng Zhishang also took Yaya to prepare to say goodbye and go back.

It's just that Zheng Zhishang didn't expect that when he was about to leave, he would meet Wen Zuoliang again, and what shocked Zheng Zhishang even more was that Wen Zuoliang actually appeared at the door of the recycling station on a dilapidated tricycle with half a cart of paper or something.

Seeing Zheng Zhishang and the little girl Lin Yu, Wen Zuoliang was also stunned.

Although Zheng Zhishang didn't want to have much contact with Wen Zuoliang, the little girl Lin Yu already waved to Wen Zuoliang with a sweet smile, shouted, and said, "Big brother." ”

Zheng Zhishang had no choice but to nod to Wen Zuoliang with a smile and said, "I didn't expect you to start collecting waste products as well." ”

"Well, thank you for what happened last time, if I hadn't seen you, I wouldn't have collected scrap, maybe I'm still begging on the street." Wen Zuoliang scratched his head in embarrassment, a little ashamed, and said shyly: "Compared to you and Yaya, I am bad enough." ”

Seeing Wen Zuoliang's changes, Zheng Zhishang was also happy for him from the bottom of his heart, and said with a smile: "It's your own efforts, it has nothing to do with us, your mother's illness?" ”

At the mention of his mother, Wen Zuoliang also lowered his head, with a sad face, and only after a long time did he reluctantly raise his head, smiled, and said: "Now that I am recuperating at home, I plan to earn enough money to take her abroad for treatment." ”

"Uh" Zheng Zhishang was slightly stunned, no matter whether Wen Zuoliang could do it or not, just this perseverance and firm filial piety still admired it in his heart, nodded with a smile, and said: "Then you have to work hard, go abroad for treatment, it will cost a lot." ”

Although I don't know about the country's system of going abroad during this period, even in the 21st century, the application for a passport needs to go through a series of procedures, not to mention the 80s, and the review should be more difficult than in the 21st century in the previous life.

Moreover, the economies of China and the West are surprised, and the medical expenses abroad are definitely higher than those in China, perhaps several times or more than ten times.

However, there is a goal to strive for, which is also good, but I don't know how long Wen Zuoliang's goal can last. I learned from Zhong Jinzhen that Wen Zuoliang's mother is in the middle and advanced stages of brain cancer, and if it can be conditioned, it can prolong some life, maybe there will be two or three years, maybe only more than a year.

After all, the medical conditions in this era have not yet reached the level of the previous life, and how long you can live depends entirely on the will of God?

"Xingxing, Zora, you know?" Suddenly, Uncle Chen looked at Zheng Zhishang and Wen Zuoliang in surprise and said:

Zheng Zhishang nodded and said, "Well, when I accompanied Yaya to see a doctor, I saw it a few times in the hospital...... Uncle Chen, it's not too early, if you don't go back, Grandma will be worried, and Yaya and I will go back first. ”

"Be careful ...... on the road"

After saying goodbye to the two, Zheng Zhishang let the little girl sit in the trolley and left, but it was not a busy day, the little girl was really tired, and when she was selling waste at the recycling station, she actually fell asleep on the chair.

"Xingxing is also a hard-working child." Seeing that Wen Zuoliang had been looking at Zheng Zhishang's weak figure that was gradually moving away, Uncle Chen sighed and said:

"Uncle Chen, you know them very well...... Wen Zuoliang asked:

"It's not about how familiar it is, the stars often come to me to sell scrap, so I know a little more." Uncle Chen said with a smile:

"I heard that the two of them are orphans...... Wen Zuoliang asked again:

Uncle Chen nodded and said, "Well, Xingxing came to Xiamen from other places and was adopted by an old woman who swept the streets, and Yaya was picked up and brought home on Xingxing Street." ”

"Aren't they brothers and sisters?" Wen Zuoliang said with a surprised face:

Uncle Chen smiled and said, "Seeing that they are like brothers and sisters, in fact, they are not brothers and sisters." At the beginning, only Xingxing came to sell scrap alone, about a month later, Yaya followed Xingxing, at first we thought they were brother and sister, and later learned that Yaya was picked up by Xingxing in the garbage heap. ”

As he spoke, he sighed and said; "Speaking of Yaya, it's also strange to be pitiful, the little girl, who was left on the side of the road, when the stars first picked her up, she still had a high fever, and now she is not well, and she has to go to the hospital to get medicine at the end of three days."

"Forget it, don't talk about it, let's go in quickly, I'll be off work later." Uncle Chen looked at Wen Zuoliang, who was stunned, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"Hmm" Wen Zuoliang, who came back to his senses, nodded, and turned his head to look at Zheng Zhishang and the little girl who had left behind him, but found that the two had already disappeared into the street and were gone.

……

"Brother, Yaya wants to walk by herself." Maybe it was because Zheng Zhishang was too tired to pull the car, his thin clothes, his weak shoulders that were red by ropes, and he was bleeding, the little girl Lin Yu also said with a distressed face:

Zheng Zhishang turned his head and smiled at the little girl, and said, "What's the matter, Agora's car is uncomfortable." ”

The little girl shook her head gently, and her big eyes were already full of tears.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with it? Seeing this, Zheng Zhishang couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward, helping the little girl wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and asked:

"It's not ......" The little girl shook her head gently, her little hand had gently lifted Zheng Zhishang's clothes, stroked the red on Zheng Zhishang's shoulder, and blew gently, the tears in the corners of her eyes had fallen.

Looking at the appearance of the little girl, Zheng Zhishang also had an indescribable feeling in his heart, and suddenly had a feeling of home, warm, relieved, and happy. smiled, gently wiped the tears on the little girl's cheeks, and said, "It's okay, Brother's skin is thick and doesn't hurt." ”

"It's all, it's useless, I always take medicine, let my brother, it's so hard." The tears on the little girl Lin Yu's face did not stop, but soon formed a flood.

"Brother is an elder brother, it is appropriate to take care of his sister, and Brother is not hard, it has nothing to do with Yaya taking medicine...... Don't cry obediently, grandma is still waiting for us to go home......" Looking at the little girl with tears on her face, Zheng Zhishang couldn't tell the pain in his heart.

Sometimes in my heart, I still hope that the little girl can be more like an ordinary child, after all, it is not necessarily a good thing to understand things when she is too young, for children, there should be an ignorant and innocent childhood, which is the most important thing.

Although he grew up in an orphanage in his previous life, he was naughty, fighting, and rebellious, and he had experienced the childhood of these children, but although he was still a child in this life, his psychological age had reached twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and it was too difficult to be a real child for a while, and he didn't have that condition.
