Chapter 20: The Past
He is a child at the foot of Tianmu Mountain in the countryside of Wu'an City, and his family has always been poor.
In his young memory, his father has always stood like the Tianmu Mountain, sheltering him from the wind and rain, so that he can grow up healthily like children of the same age, when he was a little governor, seeing his father's hard work that never complained, he vowed to let his father live a good life.
At that time, although his mother was lazy and short-tempered, she still loved him a little, and she was used to seeing her mother's arrogance to her father, and she scolded at will.
The days go on so unhurriedly, he has not forgotten his oath, he attaches great importance to his academic performance, he knows that only knowledge can change the fate of this, although he is smart, but there are many smart people, although he works hard, but there are many people who work hard, so he can only study harder, and his academic performance has maintained the first place all year round, and in order to reduce his father's burden, he also jumped two levels through self-study, and saw his father's pleased smile, his heart was full of happiness, Although when I returned home, I made a discount when facing the cold pot ice stove.
Although his life was not satisfactory, he was also very satisfied with having a good father, and he thought that life would continue like this until he was admitted to university, joined the work, and was able to give his father a stable old age with his own ability, but he didn't expect it......
My grandparents lingered on the sick bed for many years, and they took medicine as food every day. My father was tired of looking for work, a large part of which was to treat my grandparents, and my mother finally couldn't stand the poverty of the family and ran away with a man in the same village.
How can you do it without a woman in the family? Grandparents need to be taken care of, children also need mothers, although this mother and daughter-in-law are not very competent, but there is better than nothing, the father asked someone to inquire, and tried to find her, trying to pass the relationship between husband and wife. The mother-son relationship brought her back. All you can get back is an insult and bruises.
This already extremely poor family is even worse, and the grandparents drank rat medicine together in order not to drag down their father. Wait until the father finds out. Grandparents stiffened. The final expression was frozen with a smile in sorrow.
After his father failed to find his mother, he became decadent and silent, and his grandparents had this accident. He became even more silent, often not saying a word for days, but he finally cheered up.
In order to get a better education for his children, his father took him out of the village and came to Wu'an Shuangqu District, where he found a job with low wages and very hard work.
At that time, they had been living in an urban village with the words "demolition", which is now Meiting Yayuan.
Although he was poor and poor, his father insisted on letting him go to school, and it seemed that he entrusted him with his unfulfilled wish, and he did not disappoint his father, he studied harder, and he got the first place in the exam and never fell.
After his father was beaten by the adulterer, he was not treated in time, so he left sequelae on his legs, and he would be in pain every time it rained on a cloudy day, and his father was afraid that he was worried and had always forcibly endured, but the paper could not contain the fire after all, he found out, tears flowed, he did not expose his father, but he studied harder, and after studying, he also picked up garbage and paper skins regardless of his face, and then took it to the scrap yard to sell, just to be able to earn some money to buy medicine for his father to treat his legs, he vowed to let his father live a good life. He even rummaged through the trash cans in school, and was maliciously ridiculed and excluded by his classmates, but he never felt that there was any loss of face, no matter what face, for him, it was not as important as his father's health.
The school finally learned about his situation and gave her a tuition waiver for the sake of his grades, and the family seemed to finally have a bright side.
When he returned home, his father rarely returned home, and bought a bottle of beer, fried a few side dishes, and when he saw him come back, he hurriedly beckoned him to eat, he was very curious about what day it was? Usually, my father is reluctant to eat like this, but it is too luxurious to have two meat dishes.
His father told him that because of his good work, he was transferred to a more relaxed and paid job by his boss.
Everything is going in a good direction, and the two fathers and sons, who have a hard life, seem to be bitter.
As the days passed, he was fourteen years old, and he went to high school, and the night of his fifteenth birthday was one of the most unacceptable days of his life.
His father has always been tight-fed and tight, and he has tried his best to provide good conditions for him to study and live, not to mention his birthday? The lost mother is irretrievable, but the father is still there, he gave him double love, not to let him feel inferior because he did not have a mother, he pedaled his bicycle, rode a long distance, went to a new cake shop, bought a freshly baked cream cake, there is no palm-sized cake, but it cost him half a month's salary, but in order to let the child have a birthday, he is not stingy.
He rode his bicycle to his home in a hurry, and when he passed through a small alley, he met one of the drunks, only lightly touched, and the group of people actually beat him to death, until the next day, he was found lying on the road, his whole body was stiff, he curled up, the police finally straightened his body, put it in the palm of his right hand at the abdomen, a piece of white flowers greasy, he was beaten, or subconsciously to the cake to protect it, until death did not let go.
He remembered that winter was very cold, that night of wind and snow, the cold wind was bleak, and there was a little bit of ice chirp, and as soon as he went out, he was like a knife in his face.
When he returned home, he didn't find his father, he thought he was just coming back late, but when it was dark and his father hadn't come back, he was a little worried, he wanted to go to his father, but the only umbrella in the family had been taken away by his father.
So...... Even if he was worried, he thought that his father would not be caught in the snow.
So, he pressed himself and waited, waited, waited, waited, but after waiting all night, his father still did not come back.
Since his father was transferred to a job, he rarely had the time to work all-nighters, but very little does not mean that there is none, maybe this time, he is working all-night overtime? He tried to comfort himself, trying to ignore the growing sense of unease in his heart.
The snow never stopped, and by noon, he was going to visit the factory where his father worked, but the police knocked on his door and told him that his father's body had been found on the side of the road and that he needed to claim it. (To be continued.) )
