This summer was unusually rainy.

It's like a cistern on the other side of the sky overflowing.

The prepared sunshine only sneaked out a little bit in this wet July.

Eight-year-old Ouyang Lai hates such long, endless rainy days the most.

Ouyang Lai has been thinner than other children since he was a child, but fortunately, he has inherited a beautiful mother with a pair of delicate eyes, and he can always add a few points to his thin figure.

Ouyang Lai sat on the back seat of his mother's bicycle with his schoolbag on his back, thinking in his heart that he wanted to see the animal world when he went home to finish his homework for a while.

So he asked in a glutinous milk voice: "Mom, will Dad come back from work?" ”

Mom's pace on the bicycle slowed down a little: "Dad has something to do, don't come back." ”

It's the fifteenth day that Dad hasn't come home.

Ouyang Lai was a little interested: "If Dad is not at home, it is not interesting to watch the animal world alone......"

Mom's voice came: "Lylai misses his father?" ”

Ouyang Lai pouted and lowered his head, and let out a thicker milk sound "um" with his nose.

The mother suddenly turned around, and the mother and daughter drove to the other side of the city wrapped in raincoats.

The brick and gray buildings on both sides were heavily foggy washed by the rain, and the street trees on both sides also looked crooked and malnourished.

Ouyang Lai clutched his mother's clothes tightly, for fear that he would fall down on the bicycle, which would definitely hurt a lot.

Mom rode for a long time, and finally arrived at the place before little Ouyang Lai was about to fall asleep.

It turned out that her mother took her to her father's workplace, and her mother picked him up and hid in the guard room together to wait for her father to come out.

After another long wait, little Ouyang Lai lay on his mother's back and stroked his mother's hair.

After a while, I finally heard my father's voice.

He shouted, "Lylai."

Little Ouyang Lai broke free from the crook of his mother's arm and ran towards his father with open arms.

The man picked up the little girl, smiled genuinely but a little unnaturally, looked at the young woman who was still motionless under the canopy, and said, "Yaqin, why are you here?" ”

The woman's face was like the weather overhead, misty and misty, like a swamp in the forest where no lights could be found.

She said: "The child misses you, and you don't say that you will go home to see the child." ”

The man explained: "Recently, the factory has been restructured and there are a lot of things to be busy, understand. ”

After hearing this, the woman was like an enraged hedgehog, and shook the sharp blade that couldn't be hidden: "Ouyang Li, can you stop lying to me?" Our place is so big, everyone knows the slightest wind and grass, why you don't go home for so many days, you know me, everyone knows! ”

The woman's voice was a little harsh, and the doorman hurriedly closed the small window.

The man put the child down, approached her, and reprimanded in a low voice: "This is the office place!" Is it okay for you to share the occasion? ”

The woman cried out: "Occasion? Now you know that I have to divide the occasion? Have you ever thought about how I can change the light bulb when you still have a wife and children at home? Who will I get to fix the floor if it seeps water? Ouyang Li, do you know that you are my man, Lailai's father? ”

The man frowned: "Didn't the neighbor Xiao Li repair the light bulb when it broke?" The floor is seeping, and you tell me I can't help it? ”

A woman's brain is like someone has been hammered down, buzzing with echoes.

She knew that the heart of the man in front of her was long gone, and she should let go when she died.

She brought all the words in her stomach to her lips, and no longer cared about his face, his image, and his self-esteem.

After so many years of scruples, enough scruples.

So he pulled out the sharp blades on his body one by one and threw them all out with all his might.

She said, "You've got someone out there, right?" ”

The man changed his attitude of indifference, and said with a serious expression: "Yaqin, why did you start talking nonsense?" ”

The woman replied angrily, "Nonsense? All right! I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin! Hu Shan! It's called Hu Shan! Your boss's niece! If you want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, you want to go crazy, you Ouyang Li! ”

The man was angry and raised his hand and gave the woman a slap: "Xu Yaqin, if you want to go crazy, go home and go crazy!" Don't disgrace my people here! ”

The woman covered her face, her tears suddenly stopped, and her eyes were resolute and desperate: "I want to divorce you!" ”

The man was angry, and naturally said in a hurry: "Leave, leave!" ”

After saying that, he pulled his legs and left.

The woman was in a hurry, as if she couldn't imagine him to be so resolute, and shouted at his back: "You negative man! Don't you even care about your daughter? ”

The man did not reply, but quickened his pace, as if he wanted to quickly leave this war-torn scene.

The little girl didn't even look at herself when she saw her father leave, and she couldn't help but cry.

She stretched out her hand and grabbed it in the direction her father had left, screaming, "Daddy is back........."

Then he turned his head and pounced on his mother: "Mom, mom hug ........."

A woman has just passed her thirtieth birthday, so she knows how to control her emotions.

She made the most wrong move of her life.

She pushed her daughter away, turned and cried and disappeared into the rain.

Now the rain is getting heavier.

The little girl didn't know what was going on, only that not only did her father not come home today, but she might not be able to go home herself.

The doorman didn't seem to want to meddle too much in other people's household affairs, but closed the windows more tightly and turned the radio on a wider scale.

The little girl knocked for a while and then cried even harder.

At this moment, a cloudy umbrella appeared above the little girl's head, and under the umbrella was the face of a young man who was better looking than her father.

Young men are dressed in clothes that are out of place for this era, and they are good-looking and docile.

The eyes are like the blueberry candy that is my favorite during the New Year.

The young man said, "Don't cry, I'll take you home." ”

The little girl remembered that the school teacher taught her not to go home with strangers casually, but she didn't know how, as if she had experienced the scene just now.

The uncle in front of her gave her a fatherly sense of security.

So little Ouyang Lai slowly stood up, looked at him with a pair of tear-soaked eyes and asked, "Uncle, are you a bad person?" ”

The young man smiled: "How can a bad person say that he is a bad person, right?" ”

Xiao Ouyang Lai nodded, and asked again, "Then uncle, are you really going to send me home?" ”

The young man bent over gently and touched the little girl's head: "Your mother has something to go home first, please let me send you home." ”

Little Ouyang Lai's eyes lit up as if he had been saved by an angel: "Mom is not angry with me!" ”

The young man sighed, "How can I be angry with you, silly boy." ”

Xiao Ouyang Lai immediately hooked the man's hand, and said in a soft milk voice: "Uncle, then let's go." ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, and said to himself: "I have been so fond of walking with strangers since I was a child......

Little Ouyang Lai craned his neck, looking very tired: "Uncle, you speak loudly, I can't hear clearly." ”

The young man smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing, let's go, I'll send you home." ”

The rain on the return trip was very heavy, and one by one it hit the umbrella.

The strange man held the little girl tightly in his arms, for fear that she would be contaminated with a drop of wind and rain.

"It's the front, and the cement building in front is my house."

Children are always forgetful, and she seems to have quickly forgotten what had just happened.

Forget his dad left her and her mom, and forget her mom left her.

The strange man felt distressed and squatted down under the eaves of the falling water.

He held the little girl's delicate face, and said gently and approvingly: "No matter what, in this world, there are people who love you, you have to remember." ”
