At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Wei's grandfather did not come to pick him up, Shu Xin felt that the thin Xiao Wei was a little restless, he was a little anxious why his grandfather didn't come to pick him up and go home, Shu Xin also felt that Uncle Luo should also come back, it was nothing more than a trip to the bank, but it was snowing so heavily outside, and it was also dangerous to ride a bicycle.

Ten minutes later, grandma came back from outside, first called Shu Xin to the front yard and whispered to her: "Xiao Wei's grandfather can't come back today, the road is slippery, he broke his leg while riding, and now he is in the hospital, Xiao Wei's father has been notified, and he is rushing back." For the next few days, Williams stayed at our house temporarily. ”

Shu Xin didn't feel embarrassed, it's good to have someone to talk to him at home, looking back, Xiao Wei was standing at the door of the hall with half a face looking at himself and his grandmother in the front yard. Did he have something on his mind? Grandma said to Shu Xin: "Don't tell Xiao Wei about this, don't think it's a trouble, the villagers should help each other."

Shu Xin said, "Grandma, I know." Shu Xin smiled and walked to the hall, but Xiao Wei was not seen at the door.

Entering the hall, Shu Xin said to Xiao Wei with a smile on his face: "Xiao Wei, tell you good news, your grandfather went to Hunan to find your father to come home for the New Year."

This news really made Xiao Wei very happy, and Shu Xin continued: "Your grandfather asked you to live in our house first, and wait for your grandfather and father to come back to pick you up, so in the next few days, you will have to spend time with your sister, don't dislike your sister."

Xiao Wei shook his head again and again and said, "No, no, it's me who troubled my sister." Shu Xin is curious about Xiao Wei's obviously only seven years old, he should still be a child, he only knows the age of eating, drinking and having fun, where does his politeness come from, is it Uncle Luo's words and deeds, or because of poverty and low self-esteem, his thoughts and thoughts surpass those of his peers. To a certain extent, poverty and low self-esteem can make people more sensible, and of course more extreme.

For the next week, what Shu Xin did every day was to talk to Xiao Wei and divert his attention, afraid that he would miss his grandpa and father as soon as he was free. At night, he will use his mobile phone to contact Li Sisi, and he will tell Li Sisi about what has happened at home recently, and when it comes to himself, grandma, Xiaowei, Uncle Luo will even talk about some feelings about the left-behind children and the elderly who are lonely.

Li Sisi will tell Shu Xin about some of his own things, what he ate, what time he got up, read the novels that Shu Xin left behind, etc. Especially today, she told Shu Xin that we have another child. Shu Xin still didn't understand the meaning of Li Sisi's words, and the next sentence Li Sisi explained the reason. It turned out that the cat suddenly brought back another cat from outside today, and the two cats were about the same color, but the one they brought back looked very thin, as if they hadn't eaten for a few days. After feeding it once, the cat came over every day, and Shu Xin told Li Sisi that it might be the abandonment of the cat effect.

And after Li Sisi said this, Shu Xin immediately understood where the cat came from, and it must have been that person who forgot about the cat's life and death after the holiday. These boys really don't know how to cherish the lives of other creatures, and looked back at Xiao Wei on the side, such a polite and sensible boy, shouldn't he be like that when he grows up!

In the evening, Grandma, Shu Xin, and Xiao Wei watched the weather forecast on TV together after eating. There have been snow disasters in southern China, power outages and icy roads in some remote places, drivers have added snow chains to tires and reduced speeds, some roads have been closed, and then there is a cold spell.

Grandma said with deep feelings: "The life of the common people is not easy."

Xiao Wei may know that his father is in Hunan, but he may not know where Hunan is, and how far is his father from Suizhou? Shu Xin asked her grandmother privately, "Grandma, how is Uncle Luo's condition?"

Grandma sighed deeply and said: "It's nothing, I heard the village chief say that the bones have been connected, but you can't get out of bed, you said that this is about to be the New Year, this incident is worrying, fortunately Xiaowei's father is back, he didn't make any money this year, and your Uncle Luo's fall has used up the family's only remaining savings." His family is really having a hard time this year! ”

The next day, when Shu Xin got up in the morning, her grandmother had already gotten up, and outside the door, Shu Xin heard who her grandmother was talking to, and the voice was a man, and before Shu Xin could hear what he was talking about, the man was already gone.

Grandma entered the house and saw Shu Xin, and sighed with a deep sad face. Seeing this, Shu Xin asked, "Grandma, who is that?"

Grandma said: "That's Xiao Wei's father, who just came back from the hospital and is now rushing back to Hunan. It's not that he didn't make money this year, but that the real estate developer owed money to the migrant workers, so he lied and said that he didn't make money this year. Now the family is in dire need of money. He had to rush to Hunan again to try to see if he could get his wages back. ”

Shu Xin said: "There is still a snow disaster, how can I go to Hunan?"

Grandma said: "I said the same thing, but his temperament is stubborn, he has to go, come over early today, just want us to take care of Xiao Wei for a few more days, this group of people who owe money to migrant workers are really bastards."

Shu Xin looked at her grandmother with wide eyes, the last time she heard her grandmother scolding someone was when her parents had a car accident, her grandmother scolded those who were drunk and drove were bastards, who were cut under a thousand cuts, and joked with their own lives and the lives of others.

Comfortably back into your own house. Williams was sleeping soundly on the other end of the bed, not knowing what had happened to his father and grandfather. The reason why he slept so sweetly was just because he had hope in his heart, and his hope was to be with his father and grandfather during the New Year. How simple the world of children is, but now adults are busy earning money and cannot fulfill the expectations of their children's hearts. How sad it is to have children without childhood!

A few days later, in the morning, Shu Xin was reading a book in her room, she was a little upset and irritable and couldn't read the book, the day before yesterday when she talked to Li Sisi on the phone, she told Li Sisi about Xiaowei's family, Li Sisi also hated those bullies who bullied rural people, she also said that her family had often been bullied by others before, and she simply gritted her teeth and hated that group of people.

Li Sisi also said that she checked the weather in Hunan, many roads have been closed for a long time, and people and vehicles have been stranded on the road. In the end, Li Sisi even said that she would let Shu Xin contact Xiao Wei's father and let him come back, and she would give Xiao Wei's family money for the New Year, no matter whether Li Sisi's words were true or false, of course Shu Xin would not do it. First, she thinks that Xiao Wei's father is a man with backbone, responsibility and responsibility. Since you have decided to get your money back, you have to go and ask for it back. Besides, he may have arrived in Hunan now, how could he let him come back inexplicably! Second, because Shu Xin knew where Li Sisi's money came from, if Xiao Wei's father used her money, Shu Xin felt that it was not a taste in his heart, and if Xiao Wei's father knew how Li Sisi's money came from, he would never use it with the conservative and traditional concept of rural people.

Grandma took Xiao Wei's hand and came back from outside, Shu Xin saw Xiao Wei's face bruised and purple, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Grandma said, "Williams and the other children in the village got into a fight." Thinking of Xiao Wei's family and looking at Xiao Wei again, Shu Xin seemed to be awakened by something at this moment to awaken the maternal love of women. She pulled Williams into her room, rubbed her some medicine and asked, "Why are you fighting?"

Xiao Wei said: "They said that our family is all poor ghosts, and they also said that my mother ran away with other men, and that I was a child without a mother."

The more Serena Williams spoke, the more he cried, and then he continued: "They still say...... He also said that my grandfather and father died outside. ”

Hearing this, Shu Xin's eyes turned red, and tears flowed out somehow. She held Serena Williams in her arms like a mother holding her own child.

Xiao Wei cried in Shu Xin's arms and said, "I miss my mother so much."

Then he cried, and compared with the father's love, the mother's love may be more important to the child, perhaps because they have experienced the pregnancy in October together.

In the evening, Shu Xin told Li Sisi about the feeling of holding Xiao Wei, at that moment it was like she was Xiao Wei's mother, and Li Sisi seemed to be a little vague about the word mother. But when it comes to motherhood, she became silent when it comes to words like mother, Li Sisi suddenly said that she wanted to see Xiao Wei, Shu Xin and the video, Shu Xin pointed to Li Sisi in the mobile phone and asked Xiao Wei to call her sister, Xiao Wei didn't know why she had to call her sister, and then changed back to the wooden appearance before.

Xiao Wei's family is a well-known difficult household in the brigade, only Xiao Wei's father has an old man's machine, and there is a limited phone at home, how can Xiao Wei see the QQ video. There is a living person talking to him on the phone, and in his consciousness this person must be a monster.

In the past few days, there is still no news of Xiao Wei's father, and the weather in Hunan is getting worse and worse. I'm afraid that even if I get the money, I may not be able to get a car to come back, Xiao Wei can no longer bear to see neither his grandfather nor his father, he is silent again, his eyes are blank, he is both lost and disappointed. The small inner world is as cold as the weather outside, and there is no warm place to find it.

Shu Xin knew the reason why Xiao Wei ignored him for a few days, and the hope he gave him made him feel that hope was in front of him, but now it was far away.

Finally on the day of the New Year, Xiao Wei's father came back, and Shu Xin saw a *** in his thirties at the door of his house, with gauze wrapped around his head and wearing shabby clothes, Shu Xin's first feeling was that he was beaten, and the migrant workers who went to ask for wages like in TV were beaten by several people with sticks, and they were covered with injuries.

As soon as Williams saw that his father was in front of him, he called "Dad" and rushed over, hugging his hero tightly, and Williams's father thanked his grandmother and Shu Xin frequently. Grandma still said the same thing: The villagers should help each other.

After Shu Xin and Xiao Wei glanced at each other, they turned around and left. Shu Xin could feel that Xiao Wei's eyes were still on her. What did she think of Xiao Wei's eyes, like a son looking at his mother? Or is it like secretly crushing on the eyes of the sister next door?
