Early one morning, the young Lin Mengfan followed her grandmother to get up early and go to the street to play.

There were raindrops in the cloudy sky, and she was like a bird that didn't know how to worry, wearing the rain boots that her grandmother had just bought to be two or three sizes larger, shuffling her feet, drawing on the ground and water.

She holds a rusty white umbrella in her hand, and as in her situation, there is a problem in her current life!

As for what went wrong? After a heavy rain......

When Lin Mengfan got home, he took off his rain boots and ran to his relatives to cry: "Grandma! Grandmother! The shoes are uncomfortable to wear, and the umbrella is rotten! ”

The grandmother spoke a very non-fluent native dialect and communicated with her granddaughter: "It's good to have shoes to wear!" Where does the umbrella rot? Take it to make up for grandma. ”

Lin Mengfan: "Huh? After a long day's work, I understood my grandmother's words in a daze, and with red eyes, I threw my umbrella on the muddy ground at home.

After a while, the Lin family's TV rang.

Since spending time at her grandmother's house, the only thing she is satisfied with is that there is finally a TV set at home, so that she can see the outside world and understand the high-tech and fun life of city people.

In this regard, Lin Mengfan is so envious of the people on TV, they can wear beautiful clothes and shoes, take a walk in a beautiful park, and eat delicious food.

These are really extravagant hopes for her! Because her grandmother prefers to dress her in the clothes that her aunt wore when she was a child, she always has to buy a few sizes of shoes, and there are no parks in the countryside, only farmland.

As for the delicious food, grandma's house also has delicious food, which makes Lin Mengfan feel very happy.

It seems that as long as there is a little good, she can still tell herself that children in the city can't eat such delicious rural food!

Looking at TV, Lin Mengfan is full of expectations for the future, and now, she is much happier.

But she doesn't like to play with children born and raised in the countryside, she can't say she hates it, she doesn't like it, she just doesn't have a common language.

Once he gets along with the children around his home, Lin Mengfan is always the one who is isolated, or called a "foreign devil" by several children! ”

She believes that the children did not mean to reject her, but that they did not find an opportunity to have an experience of being able to communicate with them in a common language.

It wasn't until Lin Mengfan's grandmother ran through school a few times that she entered the school.

On the first day of school in the countryside, she had the most intuitive feeling that the schools in the city wore school uniforms, but the children in the countryside did not.

Some of them were only clothes that had been worn for years, washed white, tattered, old, and full of old shadows.

When her grandmother saw Lin Mengfan coming back from school, she said that she had made friends, and her friends had studied in the city like her, and later returned to the countryside to study.

Lin Mengfan said happily and sadly: "Grandma! Do you know? A new friend, Zeng Meimei, told me that children like us, who were brought up in the countryside by our grandparents, are called left-behind children! ”

Tears glistened with tears in Grandma's dim eyes.

Lin Mengfan was so happy that he had a common language with others and made friends in his hometown, and he was sad: "Why don't my parents take me with me?" Why should I study in the countryside? ”

She has 100,000 whys in her mind, like a brain teaser book she's read, with answers attached to each question.

Even if you can't answer, it doesn't matter, you can see the answer cheating.

But about the question of left-behind children, grandma couldn't give an answer to solve the problem, and Lin Mengfan couldn't find the right answer.

Like the stars in the sky, when the stars disappear during the day, she forgets the troubles of not being able to find the answer, and at night when the stars appear, she remembers her own questions.

Another inexplicable night came, Lin Mengfan hugged the only gift left by his mother, hugged the puppet man before falling asleep, and said a few whispers: "I don't want to be a left-behind child!" I want Mom and Dad to come back and see me! Why don't they come home and not be with me? ”

With doubts, she fell asleep.
