Chapter 1: Early Childhood

Next Chapter

My name is Luo Tian, I was born in a small third-tier city in the northwest, I should have had a very happy childhood, with parents and grandfather who loved me, but when I was ten years old, my father was killed by a sudden serious illness, not only hollowed out the solid family foundation, but also owed a lot of money to relatives and friends.

Fortunately, my parents are usually enthusiastic, and they help relatives and friends, so no one opens their mouths to ask for repayment, and when they meet their mothers, they will comfort them openly and secretly, but their mothers are always humble with a smiling face, and at the end they will whisper with a weak heart: I will pay back the money I owe you as soon as possible! Please bear with me!

Didn't the person who heard this say, "Sister-in-law, aren't you cold to me?" What hasn't been paid back? You're going to make clothes for my eldest nephew, okay? Or just say: Brother and sister, when our brother was here, he didn't help my family less, but what about the old sister, I don't have much ability, I can only help you so much, you don't want to see outside, the money is easy to say, you can pay it back, and if you can't pay it back, you can't be poor at your sister's house, so don't worry about it! After saying these words, they all trotted away, as if they were the ones who borrowed the money and not our family!

Therefore, my mother always said to me with tears in her eyes, remember these uncles and aunts, if my mother can't pay back the money, you will pay it back, if you can't finish it, let your son pay it back, they are all good people, don't let these good people down!

At that time, although I was ten years old, I was still ignorant. In my memory, in order to repay her debts, my mother worked two jobs during the day and night, embroidered insoles late at night, and took out the time to sell them to subsidize the family when she saved too much. Sometimes in the middle of the night, when I open my eyes in a daze, I always see my mother holding a small notebook, writing and drawing, I don't know what I am writing! I wanted to ask my mother what she was writing, but I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my mouth, and I thought I would ask again tomorrow, but the next day I always forgot it!

At that time, I was always very naughty, so I paid special attention to clothes, and the clothes at both ends of the clothes were torn in three days, and at first, my mother could grit her teeth and buy me a few cheap new clothes, but then I had no choice but to patch the torn clothes or sew the tears with threads of the same color. For this reason, I cried many times and begged my mother for new clothes: other classmates are wearing new clothes, and I want to buy new clothes if I am in tattered clothes and pants! My mother looked at me crying hysterically, just looked at me silently, and when I cried enough, she touched my head and said softly: Xiaotian, your father borrowed a lot of money when he was sick, and ใ€ใ€ใ€ใ€ mother didn't know when she would be able to pay off the money, so she could only save money, and now she can only wronged you, wait for my mother to wait for my mother to pay off the money she owes, and immediately buy new clothes for my baby Xiaotian, buy a lot of delicious food, okay? ใ€ใ€ใ€Wellใ€ใ€ใ€ when I said this, my mother was already in tears, but she couldn't hold back and didn't cry!

At that time, I was already stunned, and hurriedly raised my hand to help my mother wipe her tears, crying: Mom, Mom, don't cry, don't cry, I don't want new clothes, it's Xiaotian who is ignorant, I make you angry, I really don't want new clothes, I don't want delicious food, don't cry!

Because since I can remember, my mother has been a strong woman, even when my father died, my mother just silently looked at my father's grave and said softly: Lao Luo, you can go with confidence, Xiaotian has me. After saying that, he took my hand tightly and turned around and went back home!

Up to now, it has been more than a year since my father passed away, and my mother is in charge of the family and the family, to pay off foreign debts, and to take care of me and my elderly grandfather. Now, when I see my mother crying, my heart is also panicked, in fact, I don't have to wear new clothes, it was just vanity at that time.

Since then, I have never cried and asked my mother to buy me new clothes, not because I don't want to wear new clothes, but because I am afraid, afraid of my mother's tears!

I only have to study seriously, fortunately, my homework is very good, the teachers also like me, in a small county, everyone knows about the situation in my family, and no one looks down on me, when it comes to my mother, everyone is giving a thumbs up, the mother-in-law of the Luo family, amazing, hard!

Three years have passed peacefully, I have been in junior high school, and in these three years, although I still wear clothes with small patches, I dare say that my clothes are the cleanest in the school every day. I also once advised my mother, don't work so hard, boys' clothes, don't you have to wash them every day, but my mother always said seriously: Xiaotian, although we live a poor life, this is not a reason for us to be lazy!

One afternoon just a few days after the holiday in my second year of junior high school, my mother came home suddenly and mysteriously, and dragged me up from the bed.

Good Lat!

I hurriedly walked out of the door in my slippers, only to see two large black bags, one large and one small, placed in the doorway. Mom, what did you buy again?

Take it inside and see for yourself! My mom said angrily!

Oh! It's weird! My mom sounds like she's scolding me, but why is there a smile in the corner of her eye? It's weird, take it in and take a look!

The big black bag is a bit lighter, although it is big, but the small bag is much heavier than the big bag!

After entering the house, I didn't take it to heart, I threw the bag on the ground, but my mother hurriedly lifted the plastic bag, gently put it on the table and said to me: "Hairy, put everything on the ground, open it and take a look!"

I opened the tightly tied pouch with suspicion, and suddenly the smell of roast duck rushed to my nostrils, and I quickly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Mom! It's so fragrant!

Mom, are you going to have a holiday today? Because in my memory, except for my family can eat some meat during the New Year's holidays, the rest of the days are light tea and light rice, and I can eat meat on very few days!

Silly boy, open that bag and take a look.

I quickly opened the big bag and took out the new clothes inside one by one, all of them were men's, it was me and my grandfather's!

Mom, have all our foreign debts been paid off? I asked in a trembling voice.

Well! Xiaotian, in fact, I paid it off last month, but my mother didn't have any money left, so I didn't tell you! Mom promised you to buy you new clothes!

Mother! I choked up and threw myself into my mother's arms! Mother touched my head, silly boy, don't cry, we're all manly, and I'm not afraid of jokes, go and call grandpa to eat, let's have a good meal today to celebrate!

Hey! Mom, I'm so excited, where can I cry! I ran out while wiping my tears!
