Chapter 96: Searching
Li Shi and I glanced at each other, not knowing what kind of conditions Miss Xiao Su would propose, but we both nodded in agreement and agreed.
In my thoughts, Miss Xiao Su had already poured wine for me and Li Shi respectively, and then said to me: "I don't know how much you drink, just drink as you like!" ”
Li Shi and I picked up the cups one after another and touched them with Miss Xiaosu.
As soon as she finished touching the cup, Miss Xiao Su had already raised her head and drank the white wine in the cup, she exhaled heavily, and then held her forehead with her hand, and after this glass of wine, her face soon became red.
We were silent with her, her head bowed and her hands tugging at her hair in pain, but she couldn't say a word.
I stood up, walked to the door, smoked cigarettes one after another, inevitably thought a lot, a lot in my heart, and finally snuffed out the cigarette in my hand, and asked Miss Xiao Su who was sitting in the room, "Is there anything unspeakable about the girl?" ”
Miss Xiao Su was speechless for a long time, but this silence seemed to me to be an answer, and I suddenly felt a sense of suffocation that I couldn't restrain myself, maybe what she told me was not the answer I was willing to get.
"Your sister may be from a family in Mabagou."
I quickly sat back down at the table and asked, "Can you elaborate on that?" ”
Miss Xiao Su raised her head, tears continued to fall from her eyes, and finally said to me and Li Shi: "As far as I know, the child's father fell down and hit his brain because he was working on the construction site, and became disabled, and the child's mother ran away from home with the girl, leaving behind the newborn baby boy at home, and now this little boy lives with his elderly grandmother." ”
I heard so much sadness and depression in her words that I was silent for a long time before I asked her, "Is the child's father still alive?" ”
Miss Xiaosu's expression was extremely complicated: "The child's father is here, but this fragmented family has been in turmoil, if it weren't for the child's grandmother and the villagers, this family would have long since ceased to exist." ”
I exchanged a look with Li Shi, and I had a general understanding of the situation in my heart, Miss Xiao Su seemed to have relieved some sadness, and said: "In the past few years, I have been helping here, but some hardships have been engraved in my bones, and I can easily linger, every time I see the little boy, I think of my former self, he is the same as me, sitting on the dirt slope in front of the door in a daze, with a thin body, against fate ......"
"If Meng Meng is really his sister, then their brother and sister are so hard that it makes people cry......"
Miss Xiao Su poured another glass of wine, but she didn't rush to drink it, she raised her head and asked, "If the bone marrow matching is successful, is it possible that you plan to drag the little boy of what age to donate bone marrow?" ”
Li Shi and I looked at each other, and she didn't know how to deal with such a situation at all.
"Do you know that bone marrow donation is between 18 and 55 years old, at such a young age, how can you make up for it in the future?"
I know that what Miss Xiao Su said is the truth, but she has indeed lost her mind due to the stimulation of alcohol and subjective judgment......
She picked up the wine glass and drank it again, and her tears couldn't stop falling, as if every tear was shed for the little boy who had been wronged over the years and herself!
I also drank the wine in the glass, and then said to her with a heavy heart: "If the match can be successful, in the days to come, wouldn't it be a good thing to leave sisters and brothers in this world to support each other?" If you have a younger brother, you won't be so lonely all these years, he will definitely shush you. ”
Miss Xiao Su fell into silence, she seemed to be recalling what she had done over the years, and the pain was written on her face again, but she murmured: "In the past few years, I will even doubt myself, what did I do in this world?" My relatives were not around, I accompanied a man for two or three years, but in the end I was easily replaced by someone better than me, I was so lonely in the past few years, I even wanted to live as a jasmine, at least I would be taken care of by him......"
At this time, Li Shi, who had been silent, opened her mouth to persuade: "Miss Su, I agree with Yu Hang's statement, and I also hope that you can take us to meet this child and his family, no matter what the final result is, we will be like you to support this family." ”
Miss Xiao Su lost her mind for a long time after Li Shi's words, and finally said to me and Li Shi: "Okay, hurry up and eat, it's shameful to waste." ”
Miss Xiao Su deliberately changed the topic, and did not immediately say what happened next, she made a cautious decision, and after drinking half a glass of wine, she said: "I hope you can keep your promise, I will take you there tomorrow, but you also have to be mentally prepared for the worst." ”
I nodded and said, "Definitely!" ”
Miss Xiao Su didn't speak again, we fell into silence together, at this moment he has his own pain, she doesn't have the ability to express too many opinions on this matter, and my silence is because I set my sights on the future life, I must also have such firmness, Meng Meng will have a glimmer of life!
……
On this night, Li Shi and I chatted for a long time with Miss Xiao Su, and her experience gave us a deeper understanding of life, coincidentally, she used to be the general manager of a department store, and now she is also engaged in the tourism industry.
It's already very deep, we all drank a little too much, especially Miss Xiaosu, Li Shi and I sent her to the car, fortunately, the night was cool, the temperature in the car was suitable, I hope she can sleep well.
Li Shi was sitting in the car, she seemed to have more things on her mind than me, and asked me for a long time, "Are you nervous?" ”
In the silence where I could hear my own heartbeat, I shook my head and said, "Don't be nervous, because no matter what the final result is, I will treat this child as my own brother and grow up with him." ”
Li Shi said "um", lowered the backrest, and fell asleep with even breathing, and I followed her to sleep, ending the day's exhaustion and falling into a deep sleep.
……
The next morning, after washing up at the hot pot restaurant owner's house, he prepared breakfast for us, and after eating, we drove with Miss Xiao Su to the location.
After about 20 minutes of driving, we finally parked at the entrance of the village and walked into the village, with the gifts I had bought at the convenience store in my hand, and Li Shi and Miss Xiao Su walking in front.
It seems that Miss Xiao Su is a frequent visitor, she is familiar with the road and took us to the old man's house, pushed open the half-covered door, a little boy bent over and pouted his ass to wash clothes, seeing us coming, he put down his clothes and looked at us timidly.
"Xiaobao, why are you washing clothes here alone, grandma?"
When Miss Xiao Su asked, the child pouted and said distressedly: "Grandma carried water to the ground in the morning, twisted her waist, and lay on the bed." ”
Looking at this child named Xiaobao, I felt distressed and said, "Little brother, where is grandma, take us to see grandma." ”
When Xiaobao took us into the low brick house, the gray-haired grandmother had already struggled to sit up from the bed, she was not familiar with us, but greeted Miss Xiaosu first: "Girl, have you eaten?" ”
Miss Xiao Su signaled that she had eaten, and hurriedly asked me to send the gift, from her emotional point of view, she couldn't see such a scene, I put things down, and saw a middle-aged man lying on the bed by the wall, he should be Xiaobao's father.
He only knew how to wink at us and babble, but I didn't understand.
At this time, Li Shi walked out of the hut, rolled up her sleeves, squatted down and washed her clothes and hung them out.
Xiaobao and I were busy in the yard, he seemed to have endless things to do, and I followed him to listen to his command, but he didn't have the psychology of ordinary children wanting to be the boss, and he rushed to do everything by himself, and didn't let me interfere.
Miss Xiao Su explained our intention in the house, and my grandmother learned that we had come from afar, and she couldn't sit still, she was holding a wooden stick, leaning over, and she had to cook something for us, and no one could persuade her.
I really couldn't bear to let an old man in his seventies or eighties get injured and cook for us, but in the end, Miss Xiao Su stopped dissuading her, she didn't care about the white culottes she was wearing, and sat behind the stove and lit a fire.
Grandma laboriously picked a handful of green onions from the small vegetable garden, insisted on working on the pot, scrambled a plate of eggs for us, steamed potatoes, and then called us over for dinner.
No matter when and where, there will always be an inextricable connection between food and emotion, perhaps, the old man feels that food is the only good thing she can use to entertain us, this beyond the taste of things, we eat very slowly, but eat very touched!
During the meal, my grandmother cautiously asked about the situation, because Li Shi and I couldn't understand the local dialect very well, so most of the time Miss Xiao Su was communicating, but when Miss Xiao Su took my mobile phone and put the photo of Meng Meng in front of the old man, her shriveled eyes gradually had tears, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
After gesturing with Miss Xiao Su with her dry hand for a while, Miss Xiao Su turned her head and asked me, "Grandma asked you, is there a small purple birthmark next to the child's navel?" ”
I didn't even have to think about it, and immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, there is also a piece behind the Mengmeng earlobe." ”
Grandma was suddenly emotional, her gray hair was blown messy by the fan, and her shriveled mouth seemed to be talking to herself, as if to say to us, there is one sentence I understand, she said that she must save the child.
I nodded hurriedly, and at Li Shi's suggestion, I contacted the local hospital, collected and analyzed samples from Xiaobao and his father, and examined my grandmother's waist, but my grandmother said that she would not cooperate with anything, so I had to give up.
This afternoon, after sending the people to the hospital, we spontaneously helped my grandmother's family do housework, tidying up, carrying water and watering vegetables, lighting a fire and cooking, and everything was not left behind.
On this night, we had dinner in a cool cottage surrounded by a scenery that we couldn't afford to live up to.
Miss Xiao Su said that a person went to visit the villagers nearby, and when I first arrived, I asked Li Shi for a long time and asked her to accompany me to the neighborhood for a walk, and I wanted to discuss the hostel with her on such a night......
