was full of emotion, suddenly heard a scream in the corner, Liu Ziguang rushed over with an arrow, only to see a huge gray mouse rushing out along the corner of the wall, in the open door of the old Wen family, Xiaoxue stood in a panic, and the stack of books in her hand fell to the ground.

"Xiaoxue, are you afraid of mice when you're so big?" Liu Ziguang asked with a smile.

"It's scary." Xiaoxue's face flushed, and she picked up the books from the ground, and Liu Ziguang also helped her pick them up, and asked casually, "What are you doing?" ”

"When I moved, there were too many bits and pieces at home, and my father was reluctant to throw them away, so I slowly pulled back with my bicycle and the ants moved."

Liu Ziguang looked at Lao Wen's house, there were a large number of books and newspapers piled up in the corner, which were simply tattered in the eyes of ordinary people, but in Lao Wen's eyes, maybe these were spiritual wealth, Xiaoxue's bicycle was put aside, the basket was already full of books, and there was also a stack on the back seat.

"When are you moving like this, it's better to do this, uncle will help you move." Liu Ziguang said, and helped Xiaoxue tie up the books in the corner with plastic ropes, and carried them to the shoulder bucket of the Yangtze River 750, and moved it back and forth four times, filling the shoulder bucket, but still more than half of the books were not moved, Liu Ziguang said: "Where is the resettlement house?" I'll send it to you. ”

All the demolition households who want a house have temporary resettlement housing, this policy Liu Ziguang knows, according to his estimate, Brother Wen must want a house, after so many years of displacement, to have a stable home is the most urgent need.

But Xiaoxue muttered: "My father wants compensation, not a house." ”

"Oh, where?"

"It's in Jiangwan New Village."

Jiangwan New Village is an old community not far from No. 1 Middle School, the houses were built in the early eighties, the area is not large, and the layout is not reasonable, so the price and rent of second-hand houses are relatively low.

Xiaoxue pointed to the westernmost side of the top floor: "My house is on the sixth floor." ”

Liu Ziguang looked up, the roof of the building is full of solar water heaters, the floor looks thin, it is estimated that it must be hot in summer, the greening of the community is also very poor, there are basically no trees and grass, the flower beds are dirty, the ground is full of garbage, there is a cement open space next to it, and four or five fashionably dressed teenagers are playing basketball.

Liu Ziguang slapped his face: "A few boys, come here!" ”

The basketball teenagers stopped their movements, looked at this side suspiciously, and couldn't believe their eyes, there is only one person who can drive three rounds on the 750 side of the Yangtze River in the city, and that is the legendary boss of Gao Tupo, Brother Liu!

The teenagers rushed over, excited: "Brother Liu, what are you talking about!" ”

Liu Ziguang pointed at the sidecar: "Help me move these books to Unit 4 603." ”

"Okay!" The teenagers quickly picked up the bundle of books, walked like flying to the sixth floor and crawled, it only took one trip to finish the book, Liu Ziguang also arrived at the door, took out the cigarettes to scatter to them, the teenagers were like a treasure, they were reluctant to smoke when they got it, but clamped it on their ears, politely said goodbye to him, went downstairs, just met with Xiaoxue who had just come up, the teenagers were secretly surprised, a girl as pure as a white lotus, I wanted to look at it twice, but I didn't dare, I could only glance at it in a hurry.

When they got downstairs, they dared to discuss, "Who is that girl?" So beautiful. ”

"It seems to be the school flower of No. 1 Middle School, I have a classmate in No. 1 Middle School, and I heard him say it."

"It's too punctual, I don't know if I have a boyfriend?"

"Pull it down, who dares, does Dongshao of No. 1 Middle School know? It's because I provoked her, and now I'm crippled, and I'm still in a wheelchair, but I'm a famous underworld princess......"

"Oh, I see...... No wonder...... It was wrapped up by Brother Liu......"

The teenagers squatted on the court, smoking cigarettes, and their thoughts drifted thousands of miles away, and at this moment they all held the same belief: I want to be the boss!

……

Room 603, this is a set of small apartments with one bedroom and one living room, not only the top floor is also the westernmost part, spring and autumn days can also make do, the winter must be extremely cold, the summer is even more hot, maybe there will be rain leakage when it rains.

Even so, it is a serious building, with a separate kitchen and bathroom, as well as piped gas and cable TV, and life is much better than before.

Lao Wen's bed is set up in the small living room, the bed is full of books, the bedside table is full of medicine bottles, the bookshelf on the other side is full of books, Xiaoxue's bedroom is in the room, the door is open, you can see that it is arranged in an orderly manner, the orange chintz sheets and quilt covers and pillowcases are all the same, there is a string of sweeps at the head of the bed that is spotless, and the glass is even more polished and transparent, it can be seen that the girl still likes this new home.

Today is Sunday, Xiaoxue doesn't have to go to class, Lao Wen looked at his watch and said, "It's noon, Xiaoxue goes downstairs to the supermarket to buy a few bottles of beer and half a duck, and I'll have a drink with your Uncle Liu." ”

Xiaoxue agreed crisply, picked up the basket and was about to go downstairs, Liu Ziguang hurriedly said, "No need, I'll go back and eat." ”

He thought that Lao Wen was polite, but how did he know that this time Lao Wen was unusually resolute, holding Liu Ziguang's hand and not letting him go, Xiaoxue also giggled: "Uncle, you can have a drink with my father, he hasn't seen you for a long time." ”

Liu Ziguang is not a hypocritical person, so he immediately agreed, and took out a hundred yuan and said: "Go buy some cold dishes, save it." Xiaoxue generously took the money and went downstairs, and there was a burst of happy singing in the corridor, and she could see that this girl was very happy.

When his daughter left, Lao Wen let go of his hand and took out a cigarette to invite Liu Ziguang to smoke, the two men sat facing each other, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, Liu Ziguang asked: "Brother Wen, is this house a second-hand house bought with compensation money?" ”

Lao Wen said: "It's not bought, it's rented, four hundred and fifty yuan a month." ”

As he spoke, he went to the kitchen and took a bottle of white wine and a plate of boiled green beans in pepper and salted water and put them on the small table, put two wine cups on the table and said, "I'm not in good health, so I'll take a sip with you, and let's talk." ”

Liu Ziguang had a hunch that Lao Wen seemed to have something to say, so he poured him wine and waited quietly for him to open his mouth.

"My illness is all thanks to your help, otherwise this life would have been confessed." Lao Wen sighed with emotion, took a sip of the wine glass, and then said:

"Xiaoxue, this child was born with a hard life, born without a mother, our father depended on each other, at first I took care of her, and then she took care of me, my body is not angry, they are all chronic diseases, I can't give the child a stable home, the factory is also sluggish, the family is poor and can't open the pot, the child has never worn new clothes, either school uniforms or old clothes given by neighbors, once Xiaoxue came home with tears in her eyes, saying that her classmates had new dresses, and begged me to buy her one, I didn't buy her it, and moved her, That was the first time I hit a child, because of a skirt. ”

Speaking of this, Lao Wen choked up a little, wiped his face with his hand and said: "I regret that slap, I shouldn't have beaten my daughter, I should have beaten me, I wanted to say to her, child, it's Dad who is incompetent, it's Dad who dragged you down." ”

Liu Ziguang patted Lao Wen on the shoulder and said, "Brother Wen, don't mention the past, Xiaoxue, this child is very sensible and filial, it is your blessing to have such a daughter." ”

Lao Wen said: "Since that incident, Xiaoxue has never worn a skirt, and I still remember that the white skirt was priced at 37 yuan...... Alas, don't mention this, let's talk about the house, my small shed is a total of 16 square meters, plus the kitchen built by myself outside, a total of 123,000 yuan in compensation, this money can not buy a house in any of Jiangbei City, that is, the 40 square second-hand house I live in now, it will be nearly 300,000 yuan, I thought, anyway, the child is going to go out to the world in the future, rather than buying a house, it is better to rent a house, and when the money is in place, save it for the child's tuition. ”

Liu Ziguang was a little moved, his father and daughter were filial, which was touching.

"Poor son and rich girl, my daughter should let her eat well and dress well, so that she will not be easily abducted, but unfortunately my family conditions are not good, so Xiaoxue has suffered a lot with me, now my father is still alive, Xiaoxue is only in high school, there is no problem for the time being, but you also know the current university and social atmosphere, it is no longer a pure land, Xiaoxue, this child is naturally beautiful, and the person is simple, it must be eye-catching in college, I am worried......"

Liu Ziguang said: "Xiaoxue is very sensible and will not learn badly." ”

Lao Wen shook his head: "After all, this child has too little experience, her thoughts are relatively pure, and her personality is relatively soft, I am afraid that she will not be able to withstand it and repeat her mother's mistakes, and I will not live for a few years, so I want to ......" said with a crooked body, and knelt down in front of Liu Ziguang.

Liu Ziguang hurriedly got up and helped Lao Wen and said, "Brother Wen, how do you get this, if you have something to say, let's not be polite." ”

Lao Wen stared at Liu Ziguang's eyes and said: "We are old neighbors, although we don't have a lot of contact, but I know very well your personality, you are definitely a rare loyal person, I don't hide it from you, although the kidney replacement operation was successful, but there is already rejection, my body knows that I won't live long, you see that I am a dying person's face, promise me one thing." ”

Liu Ziguang was shocked in his heart, and said solemnly: "You speak!" ”

"I want to entrust Xiaoxue to you and help me take care of her." A hint of determination flashed in Lao Wen's eyes.

Liu Ziguang said: "I promise you, after Xiaoxue goes to college, if you want to beat my niece without opening your eyes, I will beat him to death." ”

Lao Wen shook his head: "Not only that, the road of life is long." ”

Liu Ziguang said word by word: "I will take care of Wen Xue for the rest of my life." ”

Lao Wen nodded: "With your words, I can die in peace." ”

"Bang" came, Xiaoxue stood at the door with wide eyes, and the food in her hand fell to the ground: "Dad, what are you talking about!" ”

Due to the sudden arrival of his daughter, Lao Wen's entrustment had to be terminated early, but Liu Ziguang understood what he meant, Lao Wen felt that he couldn't live long, he was afraid that his daughter would be bullied by bad people, he had no relatives in Jiangbei, and the only person he could trust was Liu Ziguang, who was born chivalrous and courageous, if he didn't entrust him, who else could he entrust to, but for a young man about thirty years old, taking care of an eighteen-year-old girl for a lifetime, this thing sounds a little ambiguous.
