Xiao Yan rushed up, hugged the woman and shouted "Mom", which startled the scavenging woman. An empty drink bottle in his hand also fell to the ground. She was afraid that the bottle would be picked up by others, so she pushed Xiaoyan away and struggled to pick up the plastic bottle on the ground first. When she picked up the plastic bottle and put it in the snakeskin bag she was carrying, she complained to Xiao Yan and said, "You kid, you are startled, hairy, and scared my old man!" What did you call me? Mom? It's weird, I don't even have a home, I don't even know what my surname is, what my name is, where are my daughters, I guess it's your child who wants to go crazy. If you see someone who looks similar to your mother, go and admit it. If you let go, I'll have to pick up the bottle. ”

Xiao Yan was afraid that this woman would be difficult to find if she got away, so she said: "I have a lot of empty bottles there, all of which are thrown into the ground by students drinking mineral water when they eat in the cafeteria, and I haven't had time to throw them into the garbage can, if you want, wait for me for a while, I'll take them out for you, you wait, don't go!" ”

Xiaoyan pulled the scavenger woman under the tree, she ran into the cafeteria by herself, didn't make much effort, moved a cardboard box out, put the cardboard box in front of the woman, bent down to open the cardboard box, and let the scavenger woman check the plastic bottle inside.

When the scavenger woman saw that there were thirty or forty bottles of all colors, she immediately smiled, and reached out to pick up one bottle to watch. At this time, a small mouse suddenly sprang out from the bottom of the cardboard box, crawled along the woman's arm to her shoulder, jumped off the ground and fled. The frightened woman screamed, threw the plastic bottle, and shouted, "Not good! Come out a mouse. Why is there still a living creature in this cardboard box? ”

Liu Xiaoyan stretched out her hand and pulled up the frightened woman sitting on the ground, and said, "Who knows when it got in?" I was holding this box in my arms just now, but fortunately it didn't come out just now, it had to come out three minutes early, and I was crippled! You're the old man back. I'll see if there's any other living thing in there. ”

"I'll take a look. Old ladies are not afraid of mice, I'll count this bottle and give you money. ”

Xiaoyan said: "I don't want money, I'll give it to you for nothing." He said. Xiaoyan grabbed the plastic bottle and put it in the woman's snakeskin bag.

The scavenger woman was a little overwhelmed and asked, "Because I look like your mother, do you pity me?" If I want to have a good daughter like you, do I still need to go out and scavenge waste? ”

Xiaoyan asked her, "Where do you live?" ”

The woman smiled bitterly and said: "Scavenging woman, wandering in the four towns, how can you have a home?" Stay on the edge of the woods and build a small shack. ”

"Shall I go and see?"

The scavenger woman hesitated a little and said: "What's so beautiful about the shack, except for rotten paper, it is old clothes, rotten shoes and broken feet." Don't look at it. Don't stain your clothes. A gust of wind blew, and she used to pull her hair with her hands, trying to cover the large scar on her head.

Xiaoyan carried the cardboard box, the scavenger woman carried the snakeskin bag, and the two talked and walked towards the grove next to the outer wall of the school. On the way, Xiao Yan asked this and that, and the scavenging woman took the trouble to answer carefully one by one.

It's a small grove. The scavenging woman's shack leaned against the wall outside the school. The so-called shack is made of a few small dead tree trunks in the woods, diagonally placed on the wall, and then rotten wire on top. Tie three thick branches horizontally, and then put a few broken asbestos tiles on them, plug some rotten branches around, and hang some rotten clothes on the branches to block the wind. Block the exit with a piece of rotten drywall. The right is used as a door, and the whole shack is not only tattered on all sides, but also exudes a strange smell from old clothes.

A small flower dog stood guard at the door. When he saw his master returning, he jumped up and touched the mistress's feet with his thin body. The scavenger woman took out a dried steamed bun from the snakeskin bag and threw it over, and the little flower dog wagged his tail, put the dry food in his mouth, and ran to its nest by the door to nibble and eat it. The hostess unscrewed the lid of a large plastic bottle full of tap water, and poured half of the water into the rotten basin at the door of the kennel, for the little flower dog to quench his thirst, leaving the half to drink for himself.

The scavenger woman took out two maza from the shack and asked Xiaoyan to sit in the shade of the tree outside the door of the shack, and the two of them sat down to talk. Xiao Yan told the scavenger woman about her life experience and her current family marital status.

The scavenging woman was very sympathetic to Xiaoyan's situation and persuaded her to find a good man to marry again.

Xiao Yan carefully observed the scavenging woman's every move, and found that her gestures were exactly the same as her mother Xiao Taohong, even the tone of her voice and the appearance of her laughter, she was exactly the same, the woman in front of her was 100% her own mother! She made her judgment clear again, and the scavenger woman laughed and said, "Look at you, child, here you are again." Why do you say I'm your mother? If I am really your mother, then who is the woman buried in your ancestral grave? ”

Liu Xiaoyan pointed to Tianhe and said: "I dare to swear to heaven and earth, you are my mother!" I grew up in your arms, and I know every detail of you. You can't go wrong! ”

The scavenger woman said, "Even if you think that I am your own mother, there is nothing else I can do." If you don't dislike me, a poor old woman, you will be my goddaughter, right? ”

Xiao Yan knelt in front of the scavenging woman's knees and cried out: "Mother! He couldn't control his feelings anymore, and fell on the woman's knees and cried bitterly.

The scavenging woman was deeply moved, patted Xiaoyan on the shoulder, held Xiaoyan's face with two root-like old hands, wiped away her tears, and said kindly: "Good daughter, even if you call me a mother, the two of us are born with fate." For my mother's poverty, this ring, I don't know how many years I have worn it in my hand, give it to you, to tell a joke, this ring may still be a token of love with my lover when I was young. ”

After a lot of effort, the scavenger woman finally took off a silver ring on her hand, put it on her mouth and blew it several times, and then wiped the dull ring with the corner of her clothes, took Xiaoyan's hand, put it on her knee, and carefully put the ring on her hand. also picked up Xiaoyan's hand and admired her fingers with rings for a while, and exclaimed: "This ring is so beautiful on my daughter's hand!" In fact, my mother also knows that this kind of silver ring is not worth a few dollars now, but it is just a part of my godmother's heart. Ant negative grain rice, such as negative kilograms. Mother has this ability, be a daughter's body. ”

Xiao Yan looked at the ring on her finger, her eyes lit up, and she said: "Mother, this ring is indeed a pair, just now you said that you are a token of love with your lover, it is indeed true." Another such ring was worn on my biological father, Li Jun. ”

The scavenger woman asked in amazement, "Is there such a coincidence in the world?" Not to mention that the two rings are exactly the same, and they are still on your father's hand? What's your dad's name? What do you do? Don't be like me, an old man picking up rags. ”

Xiao Yan shook her head and said, "No, no, no!" My dad has a lot of money. When I was the boss of Lijia Mall, my annual salary was 150,000 yuan. She pointed to the skyscraper under construction not far away and said, "See?" The building was built by Lee's Real Estate. My brother Li Dapeng is the leader of the construction site. ”

The scavenger woman shook her head and said, "Good daughter, just make me happy." With so much money at home, do you still need to cook for school? You're funny! ”

When Xiao Yan heard the scavenger woman say this, her face was flushed. She said anxiously: "My brother's name is Li Dapeng, he has called you aunt since he was a child, and he was brought up by you." He grew up in college, and you didn't love him less. When you took him, you were even closer than my own daughter. ”

"Is there such a thing? I've done such a good thing in the past and cultivated such a big talent. I couldn't have dreamed of it, but unfortunately I don't remember anything. ”

Xiao Yan said: "Our family is on the East Guizizhuang. We also have a house along the street that you built with your own hands, and I rent it out now, and I can collect more than 20,000 yuan a year in rent. She took out a thousand yuan from her purse, handed it to the scavenger woman, and said, "You can take this money first, and I will take you home in a few days." In the past few years, our village has changed its appearance, and the old broken bricks and thatched sheds have long been replaced by beautiful buildings! It's much better than these dilapidated buildings in this school. ”

The scavenger woman just smiled, handed the thousand yuan back to Xiao Yan, and said, "I can't ask for your money, people can't be poor." ”

Xiao Yan forced the money back into the scavenging woman's hand, and pressed her hand holding the money into her pocket, and said to her: "You don't admit that it's my mother, and I don't force it, it's still early, I'll go out with you to pick up some waste to sell for money, what do you think?"
