Spring 2035

Li Mo forgets the first few months of leaving home for the United States.

Approaching the Spring Festival, there are always people who will go back to their hometown to reunite with their relatives, and this year Li Zhize and Zhang Mengbai returned to their grandmother's house.

After all, the two eloped, Zhang Mengbai didn't go back for a few years, and this time he would definitely be discussed, and Li Zhize was also afraid of making trouble at home when he went back, so he chose to continue to move bricks at the construction site.

But there was nothing bad happening to Li Mowang, who was only eight years old, and when he and his mother went back to their parents' house, they could mingle with the group of strange children, and a few children happily began to go out with matchsticks to fry cow dung.

Zhang Mengbai went back to her parents' house this time because of something else, it was precisely because she heard that her half-brother who was far away in the United States had come back to visit relatives.

It is said that he is living very well in the United States, with a car and a villa, Zhang Mengbai, who heard the news, really regretted that he often worked with him when he was a child, and at that time they did not meet and not fight.

After all, they are half-siblings, and everyone will feel that the other party is superfluous.

That day, she was in the room with her brother Zhang Wenqiang, and Zhang Wenqiang sat on the bed and shook his head with the report from the hospital to Zhang Mengbai.

"When I was a child, I liked to work against me, but now I don't know when I have something big to come and beg me?" Zhang Wenqiang looked at the results on the report, stomach cancer is in the advanced stage, although the two often work against each other, but Zhang Wenqiang can't help but feel a little sympathetic when something big happens.

only heard a grunt, Zhang Mengbai knelt down on her knees, she lowered her head and supported the ground with both hands: "Brother! Don't forget to take in our family! Please! ”

Zhang Wenqiang looked at the half-blooded sister in front of him and recalled the days when he was a child, the two of them took sticks and pumped each other's bodies, in order to win their father's love.

He lit his cigar, the smoke circling around his mouth and then exhaling, "Pick a day, I'll pick him up at the airport." ”

After getting his brother's consent, Zhang Mengbai kowtowed repeatedly, and the sound of his head hitting the floor was louder and louder, "Thank you, brother, thank you, brother." ”

"What's the use of thanking me, if you want to thank me, thank my useless wife, you can't live if you are killed." Zhang Wenqiang smiled bitterly.

Yes, although I have a car and a villa in the United States, and I have been married for nearly four years, there has been no result in the matter of children.

A good home has lost its color because of the lack of children, but Li Wenqiang is still a very affectionate person, and he does not forget to bring his wife to live in the United States when he is rich.

At this time, in the construction site in Guangdong, Li Zhize pulled the car to transport bricks to another piece of land, the spring in Guangdong is not very cool, Li Zhize is transporting bricks in the construction site, and the scorching sun in the south bakes his already blackened skin.

During the lunch break, he took out the steamed buns he made in the morning and took a big bite of them, although the food was not as sweet as the food of the workers around him, but the moment he swallowed it, he had satisfied his sense of happiness.

"Lao Ze has been doing well lately." The foreman took out a cigarette case on the side, took out two of them and handed them to Li Zhize.

Seeing that the foreman had two cigarettes in front of him, Li Zhize ate the steamed buns in two or three bites, he wiped the corners of his mouth and took one of the cigarettes, "Boss....."

When he saw that the foreman was about to take out the lighter, Li Zhize took out the lighter and lit it for the foreman.

The foreman stretched out his hand to block the lighter that Li Zhize had set off, he had also heard of Li Zhize's family affairs, and a salary of 2,000 a month was not enough to support his family, let alone any medical expenses, "Don't worry, I have already won a place for you to get a salary increase." ”

After the Spring Festival, Zhang Mengbai took Li Mowang back to his dilapidated home in Guangdong.

"Ten dollars, twenty dollars, fifty dollars, wow! One hundred dollars! Li Mohan sat on the dirty floor and opened one red envelope after another, until his eyes lit up when he opened one of the red envelopes.

The appearance of this red envelope is still very different from other red envelopes, because there is no pattern on this red envelope, and instead of the pattern is an artistic font designed by himself: Wen Qiang.

In other red envelopes, there are only ten yuan, at most fifty yuan, but this red envelope is full of ten red bills, not to mention children in such a family, even adults feel that it is a lot of money, Zhang Mengbai looked at the appearance of this red envelope and happily left tears.

At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Li Zhize returned home with his worn hard hat, his face was covered with sweat, and the towel hanging around his neck was already wet, and the sweat dripping from the towel turned gray.

Seeing that her husband had just pushed open the door, Zhang Mengbai hurriedly pulled him out of the house and told him the good news.

Hearing the news that Zhang Wenqiang was willing to take in Li Mowang, Li Zhize hurriedly smiled, the last time I saw such a smile on Li Zhize's face, it should be the day Li Mowang was born in 2026, but I didn't expect Zhang Mengbai to see that smiling face again after eight or nine years.

After a period of happiness, the two of them were full of sorrow, although Zhang Wenqiang was willing to take him in, but how could any parent in the world really give up their children? They don't even dare to imagine the back of the child leaving in the airport in the future.

So far, one-third of Zhang Mengbai's medical expenses have not been enough, and there is not much time left for them.

The pressure of life on Li Zhize has pushed him to the brink of collapse, and he lights a cheap cigarette and takes out a fluent Cantonese: "Wait a few more months, let the child stay with us again." ”

Zhang Mengbai also lowered his head and was silent, the moon hanging high in the sky carved the shadows of the two deeply in the corridor, the whole community fell silent, and the dilapidated community could only hear crickets squeaking in every moss-covered corner.

In the winter of that year, the two sent Li Mowang to the airport, but they didn't expect that as soon as the plane took off, Zhang Mengbai's stomach began to feel pain, and Li Zhize also heard his wife's crying after sending a text message to his son.

However, there was no hospital near the airport, so after dialing 120, he hurriedly took his wife on his back and drove in the direction of the hospital on a tricycle, hoping to meet the ambulance as soon as possible.

In such a sudden situation, Li Zhize was already in a mess, and after starting the engine of the tricycle, he twisted the accelerator to the maximum, and even the red light at the intersection could not let him step on the accelerator.

Along the way, he honked his horn intermittently to make way for the vehicle in front of him, and when he crossed the red light, he was already doomed to leave.

A speeding truck couldn't stop at all, and although the wheels of the truck had stopped rolling, the inertia of the car was still dragging it forward, and a long spark was drawn from the ground and the wheels.

On the plane, Li Mo forgot to take out his composition from his schoolbag, and before leaving home, the school had assigned them homework to write an essay entitled "My Father".

At the end of the composition, Li Moyu added another sentence.

"My father is very ordinary, his hands are full of calluses, he can't give me anything, but he gives me everything."
