126: Angel Among the Devils

Maybe only when you have really experienced the bitterness and sourness of life can you appreciate the sweet taste.

In fact, there are so many quiet years in this world.

Those chicken soups for the soul are just for those who talk about it on paper.

This world is full of real suffering and false joy.

Liu Jing told Zhao Xun the truth of the matter in an almost crying tone.

Zhao Xun's eyes widened, and he asked exaggeratedly with his mouth open.

"Your dad? What's wrong with your dad? Haven't you been doing well in Beijing all these years? ”

In fact, after so many years, there has been no news since Uncle Liu left alone.

The neighbors on this street all thought that Uncle Liu had found his capable daughter to enjoy Qingfu.

I didn't expect such a big thing to happen after I haven't seen it for many years.

Zhao Xun's jaw was about to fall in surprise at this moment.

"Looking for a child, I never told you about the previous thing, and today's lunch box was actually taken by me to see your Uncle Liu."

"Uncle Liu, what's wrong with him?"

"I'm sick."

"What disease?"

The father shook his head and said:

"Bad disease."

"Liu Jing, did you move back early?"

"Well, I've moved back a long time ago."

"Then why didn't you come to our house all the time?"

"What happened to my uncle and my dad before, my dad told me, my mom was still young when the accident happened later, you and uncle can not only forgive my dad, but also be so good to us, I don't have the face to come again."

"What are you talking about, kid! Since it's been so long, we haven't taken it seriously anymore, why are you still thinking about it at a young age? ”

Zhao Xun said a little angrily.

"However, I just can't get over the hurdle in my heart, and my dad himself ......"

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, by the way, your dad is sick, what about your sister, is your sister taking care of your dad at home?"

"Nope."

"What about your sister?"

"My sister is at her own house, taking care of two children."

"Your sister has two children?"

"Well, one is a big girl, and there is a younger brother."

"Is your dad alright?"

"My dad's illness seems to be getting worse, and after my uncle left this afternoon, he didn't recognize me at all, and I don't know who some of the names were."

"Find a child, let's go see your Uncle Liu."

"Okay, then let's hurry up!"

Saying that Zhao Xun and his father, Liu Jing and the three of them hurried downstairs, walked to the gate of the community and stopped a taxi.

That was the first time Zhao Xun saw a person's dying state.

In Zhao Xun's impression, the first time I saw the shirtless man who wore a high-imitation version of a large gold chain and a watch weighing several thousand grams, everyone called him Liu Laizi.

It's like a rat crossing the street, only if you spend your own money, others can tolerate him.

When I saw him again, he was the ugly man who relied on his own woman to earn money.

Later, after he was released from prison, my father asked me to call him Uncle Liu.

The man who used to be more than one meter eight shrunk on this clay kang that had been abandoned for many years, with his lower body bare, and he lost a little dignity.

Uncle Liu saw that Zhao Xun was also here, and this was the second time he saw Zhao Xun after many years.

Zhao Xun, who had never seen such a scene, was already frightened.

Standing behind his father, he didn't dare to look directly at Uncle Liu.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Liu immediately recognized Zhao Xun, tried his best, and said:

"You're looking for someone, aren't you?"

Zhao Xun looked at Uncle Liu, who was almost in tears, and nodded vigorously.

"I'm almost unrecognizable when they've grown so big!"

The father saw that Zhao Xun didn't speak, so he dragged him with his hand.

"Liu, Uncle Liu......"

"Quick, sit down."

When Uncle Liu said these words, he could clearly hear the slight choking in the words.

Zhao Xun sat on the old couch before sitting on the ground.

Zhao Xun looked around, there was no food or drink at home, and his father had been taking care of him in the past few days.

Yes, my father is actually such a person, with a knife mouth and a tofu heart.

However, my father will always be good to people all over the world, but not to Zhao.

Listening to Liu Jing, when Liu Ya first arrived in Beijing with Liu Jing, the family was finally not as poor as before.

Liu Ya didn't have to work several jobs all day long, they finally got out.

Liu Ya spent money to find a school for her younger brother, which is considered average.

Liu Ya has been very fond of Liu Jing all these years, including after having a child later.

Within a few years, the sisters heard that their father had come out of prison.

Liu Jing asked her sister if she could pick up her father, but Liu Ya still refused.

At first, Liu Jing didn't know why.

It's just that I once thought that my sister might be afraid that her relatives in Beijing would know that she had a father who had been in prison, and then she would be looked down upon by her in-laws.

Later, my father found their address in Beijing.

It didn't take long for my father to come with a bedding roll.

At that time, Liu Jing said that her father and sister had a particularly fierce quarrel, and even neighbors came to knock on the door.

For so many years, my sister has always been obsessed with her mother's death.

Because my sister has always believed that her mother's death was her father's sin.

However, my father never denied it.

Liu Jing remembered that when her mother just died, he was still a little hairy and didn't understand what death meant.

It may be that Liu Jing can't tell what her biological mother looks like until now.

Later, my sister and father simply had a showdown, and all the things of the year were shaken out.

Liu Jing was already in junior high school at that time, and he was eavesdropping on the crack of the door, but he didn't dare to push the door in from beginning to end.

It was also at that time that Liu Jing learned what the relationship between their family and Zhao Xun's family was.

Although my sister has always ignored her father, she has not been too harsh on him in life.

My sister rented a small south house for my father in an inconspicuous place on the outskirts of the city behind her brother-in-law's back, plus water and electricity bills, about 500 yuan a month.

Liu Jing has also been living with Liu Ya, of course, this is the only condition for my sister to marry her brother-in-law.

The brother-in-law relied on a large amount of demolition money from the family to buy a house in the Third Ring Road.

Although the square meter is not too big, it is good for the family to have a place to settle down in Beijing.

Liu Jing and their place of residence are far away from their father, and they may have to take several buses to get there, and Liu Jing has only been there once.

Sometimes on Sundays or during school holidays, Liu Ya would always arrange some work for Liu Jing, thinking that she would not let Liu Jing see his father.

In fact, Liu Jing has always known that his father has no financial resources.

In the past, in the small town, with a brute force in his body, his father could barely support the family.

But after going to Beijing, he didn't have much culture, so he could only have dark eyes, and it was not easy to cry his father and call his mother.

Once, maybe it was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the teacher in the class organized everyone to go home and make handmade mooncakes with their relatives.

Liu Jing happily bought the ingredients needed to make mooncakes and went home.

But when I got home, I happened to run into my sister and going out with my brother-in-law for the holidays.

As for where to go, Liu Jing said that he didn't remember, because it was a French restaurant, and Liu Jing had never heard of it.

Then, Liu Jing stayed at home alone.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of family reunion, so this reminds Liu Jing of her father who lives far away in the suburbs.

Liu Jing thought about the little living expenses that her sister left to her father, maybe not enough for her father to buy moon cakes.

So, Liu Jing made a few mooncakes at home, and then baked them in the oven and put them in the packaging bag.

Liu Jing relied on the sporadic memories she had sent to her father before, but fortunately, she still found the small house rented by her father.

After Liu Jing knocked on the door and entered, for a moment, Liu Jing almost didn't recognize her father.

My father's hair was gray and his body was a little rickety, but in fact, my father began to lose weight very seriously at that time.

Seeing that it was Liu Jing who came to see him, his father was overjoyed.

moved his body and insisted on going down to the ground to pour water for Liu Jing to drink.

Then he said vigorously, during the holidays, there is no fruit at home to entertain the children, which is really guilty.

Liu Jing took the moon cakes in her arms to her father.

Liu Jing said that he can always remember the tears that flowed from the corners of his father's eyes and every word his father said.

That was also the first time Liu Jing had seen a five-foot man who could put down his body like this.

My father choked as he ate mooncakes.

My father said that this was the first time in his life that he had eaten such delicious mooncakes.

I don't know if it's the saltiness of tears or the sweetness of moon cakes, my father has been nodding vigorously.

"Child, it's Dad who is not good, Dad can't live with you, and I'm even more sorry with your sister, Dad thank you, thank you for still coming to see me......"

"I, I ......"

It seemed that at that moment, Liu Jing suddenly understood something.

Before leaving, Liu Jing put the leftover mooncakes from her father into her father's rice wheel.

At the moment when Liu Jing opened the rice wheel, Liu Jing is still unforgettable.

The few hard-looking stone-like things covered with white towels in the wheel turned out to be steamed buns that my father ate in his stomach every day.

Those steamed buns have long since changed color, and dots of mildew are all over the corners of the steamed buns.

However, the stiffness of the steamed bun has completely masked its odor.

Liu Jing was about to throw it into the trash, but she was stopped by her father.

Father said that it was his rations for the past few days, and how would he live without them? He can't live!

Liu Jing had collapsed to the extreme that day, and she ran home crying.

He never knew that his father was living so hard in a place he couldn't see.
