"yes, sold!" The old man said with great certainty.

Xiaobai still wants to continue to ask, but the old security guard can't ask a reason, at this time, some old ladies and old men who exercise in the morning are writhing on the old fitness equipment in the community, Xiaobai found a few familiar old neighbors, and asked carefully, still did not find the real reason, the only thing to be thankful for is that he finally asked his mother and sister about the new address.

It is a famous urban village in WH City, known for its cheap rent, but behind the cheapness is that the environment is not good, almost can be described as dirty and messy, garbage crossings, sewage turbulence, all kinds of people, most of them are migrant workers, naturally, the security has always been very poor.

Xiaobai's mood suddenly fell to the bottom, if it wasn't for the sudden change, his mother and sister would never have fallen to this point. For a while, all kinds of feelings of self-blame and guilt lingered in Xiaobai's heart.

If I hadn't cut off contact with my family, if I had come back earlier, I might have been able to avoid these things.

Following the new address, Xiaobai came to the urban village, where the environment was much worse than he imagined. In an old building, Xiaobai found his destination according to the vague house number.

I knocked on the door several times, but there was still no response.

Xiao Bai with a melancholy face had to sit at the door and wait, and after a while, an old woman pushed a tricycle with a lot of vegetables left downstairs, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar figure, Xiao Bai couldn't help but tremble and shouted: "Mom"

The old woman selling vegetables was at first at a loss, and then saw Xiaobai clearly, and her face showed various emotions such as stunned, surprised, disappointed, resentful, and painful.

Xiaobai's mother was only stunned for a moment, and then went straight upstairs, ignoring Xiaobai who was on the side. Xiaobai stubbornly followed, but was blocked by his mother at the door.

This is a house of only forty or fifty square meters, the living room and bedroom are integrated, the small kitchen and bathroom are unobstructed, although the house is small, but it is unusually clean and tidy, and the environment outside the house is completely different.

"What are you doing back? I've been out there when you've died. Xiaobai's mother said in a cold tone.

"Mom, I'm sorry for me" Xiaobai didn't know how to explain for a while, he never expected his family to become like this.

Although the family was not rich and wealthy before, it was also a well-off family, and it has always been able to get by, but in just a few years, such earth-shaking changes have taken place in the family.

"Mom, I just heard about my brother, is my brother back?" At this moment, a familiar voice came from the room.

Even if Xiaobai hasn't gone back for a few years, he still hears that this is his sister Bai Ruoqi.

There was indescribable weakness and weakness in her sister's voice, Xiaobai rushed directly into the small room, and finally saw the familiar face, but it was very different from the memory.

In Xiaobai's memory, her sister Bai Ruoqi is definitely a beauty embryo, with tight facial features at a young age, long head, long hair and shawl, she should be the perfect goddess image in the hearts of many boys in her class, especially the two shallow pear vortices when she laughs, which are even sweeter.

But at this time, Bai Ruoqi, who was lying on the bed, seemed to be very afraid of the cold, wearing a velvet hat, her face was pale, her lips were like gold paper, and she was not thin.

"Mom, what's wrong with Xiaoqi?" Xiaobai's heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden, is this still the lively, cute, kind and beautiful sister before?

Xiaobai's mother wiped her tears and said, "Bone cancer! ”

"Brother, I'm fine, it's good to see you back." The weak Bai Ruoqi smiled faintly and said, "I thought you would never come back!" ”

Xiaobai finally couldn't help crying, he knew very well what bone cancer was, it was commonly known as leukemia, presumably his mother sold the house to treat his sister, and now he is pushing a tricycle to sell vegetables, undoubtedly raising medical expenses.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I should have come back sooner." Xiaobai knelt in front of the bed, crying silently.

"Brother, have you achieved your dream?" Bai Ruoqi asked.

Xiao Bai put a thick envelope in front of Bai Ruoqi, nodded again and again, and said: "It's still working hard, but we won the first national championship, you see, this is the prize money I earned back."

Bai Ruoqi smiled bitterly and said, "I was really wrong at the beginning, I should have supported you, just like you have always supported me, otherwise you wouldn't have left home for so long." ”

At the beginning, Xiaobai followed Qianye to play professionally, and in addition to her mother's opposition, Bai Ruoqi's attitude was also very resolute. At that time, Xiaobai was very sad, he always thought that when everyone didn't understand him, his sister should be on his side, but he didn't expect that his sister chose the same attitude as his mother.

If this were not the case, the sad Xiaobai would not have run away from home, let alone been reluctant to contact his family for so many years.

"I'm back now and will never leave." Xiaobai said.

At this time, Xiaobai's mother said coldly: "You go, when we need you the most, you are not there, what's the use of coming back now?" ”

"It's useless, I want to make up for it!" Xiaobai sobbed and said, "Mom, will I beg you?" For Xiaoqi's sake, don't drive me away. ”

Xiaobai's mother wiped her tears, and couldn't say anything for a long time, in fact, how could she be unhappy when she saw her son who had disappeared for a long time come back, but there would always be some resentment in her heart, when she was most desperate, Xiaobai was not around, and everything was fought by her alone.

Subsequently, Xiaobai had a general understanding of what happened to his mother and sister in recent years.

In the second year of Xiaobai's departure, Bai Ruoqi was admitted to a key high school in the city, and suddenly had a nosebleed during a physical education class, and went to the hospital for examination but got shocking news.

Later, I couldn't afford the medical expenses, and was forced to be discharged from the hospital, and now I can only recuperate at home, Xiaobai's mother also lost her originally good clerical job because of taking care of Bai Ruoqi, and now she can only get up early in the vegetable market and sell vegetables at night to make a living.

Hearing this, Xiaobai felt not only guilty, but also a little guilty. If it weren't for his willfulness and stubbornness, his mother and sister would not have fallen to this point.

"Don't worry, now that I'm back, as a man, I'll support this family. Mom, Xiaoqi, don't worry, I will never leave you again. Xiaobai got up and said.

When Xiaobai's mother heard this, tears fell like rain, and Bai Ruoqi, who was lying on the bed, was even more teary-eyed, and murmured: "Brother, it's good for you to come back."
