Walking into Wei Zijian's house, Bai Sheng saw that there was a lot of poverty everywhere, except for a few old and broken chairs and a three-legged table, there was nothing left, not only did there not a single decent piece of furniture, but even the roof had many holes due to disrepair; The ground is even more pitted; There was also the sound of rats hissing by the wall.

Is this still a home? Everywhere is crippled, and there is no complete place.

It was hard for Bai Sheng to imagine how a seven-year-old child had spent her childhood here, even if she was poor, she had no companions, no friends who could speak, and she had to deal with rats and insects all day long.

There is no happiness, and all you can have is the bitterness of loneliness.

How can a little girl live happily after living here for seven years?

Bai Sheng asked himself, he couldn't be innocent, although he also lived in the countryside in his childhood, there was turquoise water, fresh air, and indispensable friends. Although life is not richer than that of a child in the city; But at least live in peace and live freely; Compared with Xiao Lanlan, she is far happier.

A happy childhood is not the memory of playing games with friends!

At this time, Bai Sheng somewhat understood why Wei Zijian was so desperate in the death domino, especially his remorseful eyes when he was dying, which had the meaning of redemption, which was full of unwillingness and helplessness, maybe he had made mistakes, but his love for his daughter never stopped for a moment, even if he died.

"Why, why! Wei Zijian, why do you have to borrow from a loan shark? Staring at the dim hole above his head, Bai Sheng saw a patch of black, and he couldn't help muttering to himself.

He didn't understand, he didn't understand why Wei Zijian did this. The days without money may not give Wei Lan a rich childhood, but having her father's company will at least not give her a devastating injury.

If he hadn't borrowed a loan shark, Wei Zijian would not have participated in the game, let alone lost his life because of it.

"The world is like chess, we are just a chess piece in life!" Since he came in, Old Man Wu felt that something was wrong with Bai Sheng, and now he was stuck in the quagmire again, he quickly pulled Bai Sheng, "Life is a scroll, we are in it, even if we don't move, it will push us forward." ”

"Everything has an inevitability of its existence, it neither appears for no reason nor disappears out of thin air. As for the cause and effect of the matter, we need to practice it ourselves to know. ”

In the year of confusion, Bai Sheng was puzzled, and after Wu Lao's awakening, he slowly understood something. He did the same thing as Wei Zijian, and entered the death dominoes for the dream he insisted on.

Seeing that Bai Sheng was thinking, Old Man Wu continued to preach by example, "It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, whether it's good or bad, the road is all out of our own!" In the process of walking, learning how to take responsibility for ourselves is what we should do! ”

"Responsibility is a necessary quality for us to choose any path that we will be able to take, because only responsibility can support the inevitable and doomed consequences. If you don't have responsibility, if you don't have responsibility, you can only go farther and farther on the road of walking, and you will deviate more and more from your own destination. ”

"Responsibility?" Bai Sheng seems to understand whether he understands or not, and understands that the road is to come out on his own.

"Boy, take your time!" Old Man Wu's eyes were full of expectation, and he smiled at Bai Sheng, "You kid is young, and you still have a long way to go in the future, you can always realize it!" ”

Looking like a teacher, after Old Man Wu finished educating Bai Sheng, he walked to the kitchen and went to Grandma Li.

Responsibility and consequence, this is a question that Bai Sheng has not thought about for more than 20 years. childhood ignorance; When I was young, I wanted to study; The university is even more playful, it can be said that he has grown so big, he really came all the way. I don't understand, I don't understand what responsibility is, maybe I only know self-pity, maybe I just take a step and look at a step, and I don't really and formally look at this problem.

With responsibility, to bear the consequences of his due, he seems to have never done this. Once, instead of looking for an excuse, he escaped; It is perfunctory to oneself, and in the passing of time, forgetfulness.

Responsibility turns out to be a person's initiative to take responsibility for what he does; Not blind, not evasive.

Bai Sheng's view of responsibility is heavier than before, and he also begins to understand how to do things.

"Boy, something is wrong!" After three minutes, Old Man Wu hurriedly walked back again, and he shouted from afar, interrupting Bai Sheng's thoughts.

Wu Lao gasped, ignoring the anger in his throat, and said to Bai Sheng urgently, "I went to the kitchen just now, wanting to find the old woman to order something to eat, who would have thought that I would see Xiao Lanlan crying." Presumably she already knew about Wei Xiaozi's death, probably because of the rumors she heard just now. ”

When Bai Sheng heard this, he immediately punched himself with his hand, blaming him for not paying attention and breaking things.

A little girl overheard the news of her father's death, not only was she not told at the first time, but she was also deceived by her grandmother who had always loved her, what should she think? How do you go about getting on with your life?

"Hateful!" Hammered himself three times hard, and Bai Sheng didn't feel any pain at all.

"Boy, don't blame yourself too much, you can't be blamed alone for this!" Caring is chaotic, Old Man Wu waited for a while before he reacted, and hurriedly grabbed Bai Sheng and didn't let him continue to punish himself.

Wu Lao naturally knew that Bai Sheng had good intentions when he told Grandma Li about Wei Xiaozi's death, and no one would have thought that Xiao Lanlan would hear it. No one is to blame for this, and they can only complain that the timing is just in time.

"Boy, let's think about what to do first!" How can I have time to care about right and wrong, Old Man Wu is very anxious, "In the kitchen just now, I saw Xiao Lanlan crying very fiercely, and the old woman couldn't be coaxed!" ”

"Coaxing a child? How can you quickly make a child happy? ”

Bai Sheng stopped his hand, and then slapped himself before calming down.

Buy candy to eat? It's unrealistic, this point, in a remote village, where can you buy it!

Amused? I don't think I can either! ……

Bai Sheng thought a lot, all kinds of messy ways to coax people to be happy, but he didn't have the experience of coaxing children, at most he coaxed his ex-girlfriend, but that was to coax adults, and it was not necessarily effective for children; And since Xiao Lanlan just learned the bad news of his father's death, he is afraid that no matter how much he coaxes, it may not work!

didn't fold, Bai Sheng stared at Old Man Wu dryly, seeing that he was also glaring at himself, the two of them stared at each other, they were both a yard black, dazed and at a loss, obviously they were both big men who couldn't coax women.

The two looked at each other with a wry smile. Bai Sheng is quite playful, Wu Lao can be regarded as a smart and wise man, and he is very good at educating people; But in terms of emotional intelligence, he is not much different from him. You must not do that yourself.

"Old Wu, you stay here for a while, I'll go over and see the situation, and then talk!" Bai Sheng didn't want to stay here all the time, waiting for the incident to deteriorate, after all, he caused it.

"Alright! Be careful what you say yourself! "It's really not comforting people, it's not a party, Wu Lao will only hit and educate people, he is afraid of saying the wrong thing, and the more he helps, the more he helps, so he simply stays. In his opinion, Bai Sheng is still a young man after all, and if he wants to deal with children, he has a better way than an old man.

Bai Sheng knew his heart and comforted Wu Lao, "Well, I will find a way to make Wei Lan happy." ”

After that, after Wu Lao sat down peacefully, Bai Sheng walked quickly towards the kitchen.

Walking from the yard to the kitchen, Bai Sheng didn't hear Wei Lan's crying, thinking that something was wrong, he hurriedly glanced into the kitchen, and saw Grandma Li and Wei Lan, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Lan didn't cry and ran outside, and she was still by Grandma Li's side, which was indeed a good sign; But whether the remaining problems have been solved or not is another matter.

Bai Sheng lifted his mind and stood on tiptoe, he moved his steps carefully, trying to touch the outside of the door, avoiding the sight of his grandmother and Lan Lan as much as possible; Then, he opened his eyes wide again, pricked up his ears, and observed the movement in the room, not leaving a single sound behind, not letting go of a single detail, to ensure that there were no accidents.

In the kitchen, Grandma Li sat on a small bench, and Xiao Lanlan was lying on her lap. Lan Lan Qingming still had tears in her eyes, but she didn't cry anymore, nor did she lose her temper, but obediently lay on her stomach, but her little head couldn't help but shake from side to side, as if she was holding something, and she didn't want her father to leave. Grandma Li's face was difficult, but she still had a hint of a smile, looking at Lan Lan very lovingly, paying attention to the changes in her mood; On the other hand, he patted Lan Lan's back with a veteran hand full of traces of time, not letting her whimper and choke.

"Grandma, why did Dad leave?" Wei Lan's little nose was sour, with a crying voice, "Where did Lan Lan do wrong, Dad doesn't want Lan Lan anymore, he doesn't want to come back, come and see Lan Lan again!" ”。

The little girl couldn't figure it out again, and always thought that she had done something wrong to make her father angry, causing her father to not only ignore her, but also not come back to see her, so she became emotional again.

Grandma soothed Lan Lan's body and didn't let her continue to think about it before explaining, "Lan Lan, your father just went to a distant place, and he didn't ignore you because Lan Lan did anything wrong." Instead, he will always be by your side, watching you, and waiting for Lan Lan to grow up. ”

Lan Lan believed what her grandmother said the most, and when she heard that her father was leaving, it was not her fault, so she was happy.

"Grandma, if Lan Lan misses her father, how can she know that her father is by my side?" The little girl seemed to know that she couldn't see her father again, but she also believed that her grandmother would not lie to her, so she touched her head with her little hand and asked suspiciously, "If Lan Lan wants to talk to her father, then how can she go to her father?" ”

Grandma frowned, and the movements in her hand paused for a moment before falling again, as if she had expected Lan Lan to ask this question, and said slowly in a deep voice, "Does Lan Lan know the stars?" ”

"Grandma, Lan Lan knows!" Lan Lan's eyes rolled and she replied, "The stars in the sky are bright, shining, just like our eyes!" ”

"Our Lan Lan is so smart!" Grandma teased Lan Lan's nose and said with a smile, "Your father just went to the sky, he is the brightest star in the sky, guarding Lan Lan all the time, looking at Lan Lan." During the day, he played a game of peek-a-boo with Lan Lan; Come out at night, listen to Lan Lan, and see if Lan Lan is good this day! ”

"Is that so? Na Lanlan will be more obedient in the future, and she will see her father every night and talk to him! The little girl snorted in a low voice, a little disappointed in her tone, but no longer sad. Her weak little body trembled slightly, it was afraid, as if she was worried that she would never see her father again.

Grandma patted Lan Lan briskly and said leisurely, "It's going to be fine, everything is going to be fine!" ”

Lan Lan supported her head with her little hands and stopped talking, not knowing if she was thinking about her father or what her grandmother said.

Closing her eyes and recuperating, Grandma said bitterly, "Between trade-offs, growth always comes at a price!" ”

Lan Lan listened, but didn't understand, and climbed her fingers by herself.

Bai Sheng looked at everything that happened, and put his grandmother's words in his heart, responsibility is the price that growth should bear. He slipped away quietly, not hearing what his grandmother said to Wei Lan later. It's just that there are some things, he understands.
