"My name is Zhou Guihua, I am 49 years old and I have two children. The eldest is a boy named Niu Xiaoliang, and the younger one is a daughter, named Niu Jingjing. Our Xiaoliang didn't study well when he was a child, and he loved to be naughty and mischievous, and he was very popular among his classmates, but the teacher didn't like him very much. So he just dropped out of school as soon as he was in his first year of high school. Our family is small, and he felt that there was no development, so he said to me: Mom, I want to go out and have a good time. At that time, my husband was still alive, and I thought that my children were also older, so I should go out and break through if I wanted to. ”

"After Xiao Liang left home, we didn't get used to it. But soon, he had good news, saying that he had found a good job, food and shelter, and the salary was not low, and since then, he has sent money home every month. Speaking of this, Zhou Guihua wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "This kid is sensible!" I remember the first time he sent it back was 1,600 dollars. said that he asked him to buy some books for his sister, and if he couldn't keep up with the class, he would find a teacher to make up for the class. ”

The crown prince was quite sleepy, he got down from the chair and sat cross-legged on the ground directly, his head resting on the coffee table, but with Zhou Guihua's narration, he slowly sat up straight, and his expression became serious.

"As the saying goes, the children of poor families are in charge of the house early. Other people's children are in school, spending their parents' money, but Xiaoliang is making money outside, I'm a mother, and I don't feel good, I always feel that I have treated my children badly. ”

Yu Yan also sighed with her.

Zhou Guihua paused, tears surging and choked her throat. She said intermittently: "People in the village say that I am blessed, I know how to feel sorry for my parents after giving birth to a child, and we will live a good life in the future, just wait to enjoy the blessings!" Everyone said so, and over time, his father didn't know how to be beautiful. He had a gambling problem when he was young, he was playing mahjong with people when I gave birth to Xiaoliang, I was alone at home, almost didn't die of dystocia, and then my mother-in-law knew about it, and went to the mahjong parlor with a kitchen knife to find him, forcing him to promise never to play mahjong again in the future. It's all right, the children are so old, he hasn't touched these again. But with some savings, I couldn't stand the fools of others, and I started playing poker again. They were fighting so big that I didn't know it at first. ”

"They set him a trick, at first let him win, and after he won, when he became addicted to it, they began to let him lose, and by that time my old cow had already lost red eyes, and he couldn't do without the table more and more. They lent him money to gamble, but the old cow kept losing, and in the end he owed too much money, and everyone came to the door. By the time I knew it, the old cow was gone. ”

"Everyone has a fuss at home, that is, let us take money, 50,000 yuan, all the savings of our family are not enough for 50,000, to be honest, our usual income is worth eating and drinking, the children in the family go to school, for the elderly, all need money, people like us, can make do with life, even illness can not afford to live, if we have a headache and brain fever, we have not gone to the hospital to see, just treat ourselves, headache to eat a painkiller, nausea to drink some righteous water. It's so cheap......"

Yu Yan listened to Zhou Guihua's words, and only felt that her heart was very blocked. She reflects on herself, and feels that she has enjoyed a very good living environment, but she has not made good use of it, and sometimes she will feel depressed in the face of the small things in life, feel unpleasant, and want to waste time and want to live a lazy and lazy life.

"My old cow is not at home. Although I am a woman, I also know that no matter what debt I owe, I have to pay it back, and I can't get over it with a bad heart, but I really can't take out so much money for a while, and the only choice is to take out the money that Xiaoliang sent back to Jingjing to study in case of emergency. ”

"Boss Jing is unwilling, her grades are good, but she is a little biased, and physics is not very good. She usually has a big opinion of her father, dislikes her father's temper and ability, and now there is such a trouble, she wants her father to have a long memory and not let me hand over the money. ”

"Quietly reading is the provincial key, there are many students in the class who study well, and the pressure is already great, but now there is such a thing at home, and she can't study hard at all. Those people also found out about this, and they made trouble in my house day and night, some of them caught up with the meal, and they had to eat at my house, so after two days, I decided to take out the money sent back by Xiaoliang and pay back part of it first. But when I got to the bank, I found that the money in my bank card was gone. ”

Zhou Guihua clenched her fingers and said hurriedly: "At first, I was scared to death, and immediately asked the teller, and the people in the bank also attached great importance to this matter, so they retrieved the records and surveillance video of the withdrawal, and later found that it was Lao Niu who withdrew the money." Zhou Guihua smiled more ugly than crying, she said helplessly: "Later, the teller told me that when she saw this situation, she wanted to tell me that the money was gone, and sometimes it was not stolen by strangers, it was more likely to be a family member." has been a teller for several years, and she has seen many grandsons stealing money from their grandparents' accounts, and ignorant children using their parents' money to reward anchors...... It's more. ”

"Thirty-seven thousand eight hundred. Xiaoliang has been working for more than a year and has saved so much money, all of which have been lost by Lao Niu, and in addition, he owes a debt of 50,000 yuan. Zhou Guihua covered her eyes with her hands and said, "At that time, I had only one thought in my mind, what hope did I have for living like this!" At that time, I really wanted to run out into the street all at once, let a car hit and kill me, and the driver would pay some money so that my family would have a quiet amount of money to deal with after college, and save me from suffering. ”

Zhou Guihua's tone was flat, but the content of her words was extremely desperate, Yu Yan only felt her heart skip a beat, and said continuously: "Auntie, you must not think like this, people can only have hope if they live, if they are gone, there will be nothing, and it will bring pain to the people around them." I used to think that death wasn't that scary, but when I was actually on the verge of danger a few times, I really wanted to survive. At that time, I thought: if I can live, I am willing to pay a big price. So don't think about it, really. ”

After Yu Yan finished speaking, the crown prince continued: "Yes, auntie, you really can't do stupid things, you know, the speed limit in the city is now, and you can't hit people under normal circumstances." Furthermore, the problem of a car accident is not that the driver has to pay you money if he hits someone, there is a problem of responsibility sharing. If someone drives a good car, and you put it on suddenly, it's called touching porcelain. This is very miserable, not to mention that you yourself have been sinned in the hospital, and even the driver's family will not stop. ”

Listening to the words of the two of them, Zhou Guihua laughed and said, "I just thought like that at the time, I wouldn't do that." I'm a trouble myself, I won't cause trouble to others anymore, everyone has a family, I can't be so bad. Even if I really want to die, I'll drink my own medicine or hang myself......"

Yu Yan couldn't listen anymore, so she quickly interrupted Zhou Guihua and said, "Auntie, I have to tell you something now." We will help you find Niu Xiaoliang's whereabouts, and you don't need any compensation, but we only have one condition, no matter what the result looks like, you must be strong to live! ”

Zhou Guihua hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"When was the last time you saw Niu Xiaoliang?" Linnaeus asked.

From the beginning of entering the house, Linnaeus held the computer, tapping the keyboard twice from time to time, if it weren't for Zhou Guihua who had never seen such a thin and light computer, and looked at it twice, he would really ignore his existence.

Zhou Guihua was stunned for a moment, Linnaeus had a gentle expression, and repeated it, and Zhou Guihua said as if she was coming back to her senses: "The last time I saw Xiao Liang was the time when his father lost money." When everyone came to ask for debts, didn't Lao Niu stay at home, and then he didn't go home for several days. Then I went to the bank to withdraw the money, and found that he had already withdrawn the money and lost it all, and at that time he was not hiding, but went to N City to find Xiaoliang. ”

"Xiao Liang went home with him......" Speaking of this, a thin layer of mist appeared in Zhou Guihua's eyes again, "For more than a year, that child has been vicissitudes, hey!" Speaking of which, we are so incompetent as parents. The child said that he was doing well outside, and we believed it, and he said that he was very happy outside, and we believed it, and he said that his money was easy to earn, and we should spend it as we pleased, and his bastard dad still believed it. But when he came back, I learned that the money this kid made was hard-earned money, he worked as a worker on the construction site outside, and he did eat and live every day, but he lived in a Datong shop, which was cold in winter and hot in summer, and he ate a big pot of rice, and the dish had no other taste except salt. ”

After Zhou Guihua finished speaking, she stood up, walked quickly to the big bag she put under the windowsill, and opened the big bag carefully, and after the big bag was opened, all kinds of bits and pieces fell out. It's like the skin of the bun is broken, and the soup and water even flow out with the stuffing of the bun. Zhou Guihua didn't care about these, she opened the big bag, and opened her quilt, the quilt style was old, and there was a faint musty smell, Zhou Guihua rummaged in the quilt, and found a palm-sized bag, she carefully opened the zipper of the bag, took out a small pile of wrinkled change, and flipped through it again, before turning to a small photo inside.

Zhou Guihua handed the photo to Yu Yan and said, "This is my Xiaoliang." ”

Yu Yan's result photo, after reading it, he immediately exclaimed: "Oh! Auntie, your son is too handsome! Yu Yan's eyes widened, and he showed the photo in his hand to Linnaeus and the crown prince, and the crown prince took the small picture and exclaimed: "Auntie, with your son's appearance, going to the construction site to move bricks is simply a heavenly thing!" Standard star face, no, he is much better looking than these little fresh meat on the market. Actually, I don't understand why the king of pas is so popular, and there is a certain animal with horns? The crown prince's last sentence was said to Yu Yan, who strongly agreed and said, "I don't understand either." ”

The crown prince handed the photo to Zhou Guihua and said, "Auntie, when we find your Xiaoliang, let's arrange for him to be a star!" Really, it's a waste of not being a star. ”

Zhou Guihua, who had never shown a smile, finally couldn't help laughing, with the pride of being a parent in her eyes. She smiled lightly, looked far away, and said: "My son did talk about growing up to be a star when he was a child, and he sang well, when I used to go to the field with his father, he always went with us, he was still young, he couldn't do any work, he sang next to the ridge, and the big guys said that he sang well." But the smile quickly faded, she looked at Yu Yan and said softly, "I don't know if I can see this day." After speaking, she covered her heart and said, "I am always panicked in my heart, and sometimes I think, could it be that my son is gone...... Otherwise, he should have contacted me, but two and a half years later, he hasn't contacted us again. ”

"What happened when you last saw Xiao Liang?" The crown prince ignored Yu Yandi's eyes, and asked for Niu Xiaoliang's photo from Zhou Guihua's hand, and looked at it over and over again in his hand.

"That time, Xiao Liang went back with his father. Lao Niu is not a thing, he owes too much money, and people say that if they don't pay back the money, they will scare our daughter, so he went to find Xiao Liang, and wanted Xiao Liang to advance some wages in their unit, and then settle this matter. Xiao Liang is at the construction site, thank God for not delaying the salary, how can there be a boss to give a salary advance! Xiao Liang didn't have any money, so he saved money and sent it home. ”

But there was such a thing at home, and he was not at ease, so he came back to take a look. As soon as I saw it, something was wrong. ”

"Did he get into a fight with someone else?" Yu Yan asked.

"He didn't fight with anyone, he just asked someone to explain that our family has no ability to repay now, but it doesn't mean that he won't pay back, he wrote an IOU in his own name, and under everyone's fairness, he said that he would change part of it every month in the future." Zhou Guihua said: "They know that it is useless to force us, we have already treated this matter with the greatest sincerity, and if we force us again, the net will be broken." ”

Zhou Guihua said: "Xiaoliang also persuaded me: Mom, don't get angry, just think of it as a ruin to avoid disasters." Actually, I wanted to open it later, but my old cow didn't want to open it, and he started drinking when he sent away the debtor. I knew that he felt sorry for the child, and he was angry with himself, and he couldn't persuade him, drink some wine and sleep, and he still had to live tomorrow, so he drank in the hall, and I chatted with the children in the house. When it was dark and it was time to go to bed, I found that the old cow was gone. But I didn't take it seriously, thinking he went to the toilet or something, but it was past eleven o'clock, and he wasn't there, so I was in a hurry. The children were called up by me to look for the old cow, Xiaoliang was tired for a day, but still got up in science, the child looked around the garden at home, but did not find the old cow, and finally quietly looked good, saying that her father's motorcycle was gone. ”

"It was so late that he went out on his motorcycle, and he drank so much before leaving, and our first thought was that he couldn't think of making trouble. It's one thing to owe money, but it's another thing to get into a fight with someone. He drank so much wine and was out of control, if he really gave someone a good deal, the rest of our mother's life would be ruined, and we would have to pay off his debts for the rest of our lives. ”

"So did he go and find someone, everyone? Did you find him? Yu Yan vaguely felt that Lao Niu was not that kind of person. From Zhou Guihua's narration, she felt that the old cow was quite cowardly, his ears were soft, he couldn't stand it when he heard people praising him, so he easily fell into the trap, and then the first reaction of owing money was not to stop, but to steal the money that her son earned to send her little sister to school, and finally, the debt collector came to the door, he did not play the role of the head of the family, but ran to the construction site where his son was to ask for help, and finally, the son wrote an IOU in his name.

Such a person, even if he has the courage to drink, is not like a person who can find someone else's home and try to commit violence.

Sure enough, I only heard Zhou Guihua say: "We looked for a lot of people, and they all said that we didn't see Lao Niu." We called Lao Niu and no one answered, we looked for him for a night, but no one was found, until the next morning, a police contacted me, Lao Niu rode out of the province on his broken motorcycle, when he found him, he was already out of gas, the police said that because it was too cold outside, he himself was too little dressed, and he drank too much wine. The old cow died, and Xiao Liang and I arranged the old cow's mulberry affairs together and left. Before he left, we used the funeral money to pay off part of the debt, and the rest of the money was still according to the previous plan, Xiaoliang slowly repaid, at this time, I also had my own ideas, quietly went to school in the city, I went to the city to find a job, so as to relieve the pressure at home, I thought so, but everyone disagreed, they didn't even let Xiaoliang go, afraid that after the old cow died, we would rely on this account. ”

"Who are these people!" Yu Yan was angry, "They originally designed your old cow!" Besides, it is the old cow who owes the money, and now that he is dead, can't you orphans and widows be given a little respite? ”

Zhou Guihua smiled bitterly, "Child, you think so kindly." They don't think so! Do you know? Later, the commissary in our village stopped selling me anything, and no matter where I went, I could hear rumors. The most hateful point is that my old cow froze to death outside, but they said that my old cow had done too much bad things, and he could ride a motorcycle to a mass grave and be scared to death, and the police said that he died on the side of the road, and there was no talk of mass graves at all, so they talked nonsense! ”

Yu Yan was also very angry when she heard it, but she still comforted Zhou Guihua and said: "Auntie, don't care what they say, if you really listen to those vicious words, it will be as they want." ”

Zhou Guihua nodded, and her depressed appearance made Yu Yan feel distressed.

"After Niu Xiaoliang left, how long will it take to repay this money." It was Linnaeus who spoke again.

Zhou Guihua was surprised by Linnaeus's wording, but she still recalled it well before she said, "Two months...... Maybe more than two months. Xiao Liang paid the money back. At that time, I was still very surprised, thinking about such a large amount of money, how did he earn it, it couldn't be a bad thing, right? I was very uneasy and told Xiaoliang that although our family is poor, we are also poor and upright, and we must not do things that violate conscience and violate laws and disciplines because of money. ”

Zhou Guihua said, not noticing Linnaeus's frowning brows, she continued: "But Xiao Liang said, he didn't do anything bad, he still worked on the construction site, but now he is not a worker, the boss saw that he was down-to-earth and willing to work, and arranged for him to be a small foreman, now he is not only a leader, but also manages dozens of people, and when the project is over, he still has a lot of dividends to share." ”

Zhou Guihua said: "Maybe I was afraid that I would be worried, Xiaoliang also called me and told me that he was really doing well." He said that the boss was very good to him, and sometimes he took him out to eat, and he saw the world, and I had never seen the places and things he talked about in my life. He also said that he would make a lot of money soon, and when the time came, he would take me and Jingjing out on a trip together, and when Jingjing went to college, he would buy her a computer. Later, he called me a few more times and then ...... And then there was no news. ”

"Have you ever looked for him at the construction site?" Yu Yan asked.

Zhou Guihua nodded, looking a little helpless, "I went to the construction site where he worked, and people said that he hadn't come to work since he went home." ”

"That's why you realize he's lying all about." The crown prince said.

Zhou Guihua nodded and said, "With those few sums of money, I am even more panicked, thinking that the child should not really go down some crooked path for money!" Xiao Liang has been silent since then. Jingjing was admitted to N Normal University last year, there is no tuition, and she is also subsidized, she is also angry, and she also goes outside to tutor students, I don't want to be alone at home, so I came to the city to work. In fact, the child doesn't let me work, but I think I still have hands and feet, I don't want to lie down and eat rice, and I work here, the wind can't blow and the rain can't get wet, it's actually quite comfortable......" Speaking of this, Zhou Guihua's voice gradually lowered, "Now that I have no job and no source of income, how can I find Xiaoliang in the future?" In such a big city, it is dozens of kilometers at every turn, unlike the small place in our house, where you can recruit anyone to walk. Why did Xiao Liang come here? This is a cold place, and I can't find him even if I try to find him......"

"Auntie, I want to ask you, how have you found Xiaoliang over the years, where have you looked, and who have you met?" Yu Yan asked.

Zhou Guihua said with her fingers: "I have asked about the construction site where he has worked, as well as several of his workers at the construction site, as well as the small restaurant he often goes to, I have been there, and I have contacted some people piecemeal, but they all said that they have never seen Xiaoliang." ”

"Auntie, say so, Xiao Liang is a post-90s generation, he must have some contact information such as Qiuqiu or Weixin."

Zhou Guihua looked dazed, "What did you say?" ”

Yu Yan covered his forehead and said, "It's the software that connects with people." You may not quite understand the things that young people play. Yu Yan didn't know what to say, but suddenly, her mind turned and she said, "Auntie, maybe your daughter knows?" Why don't you call her here early tomorrow morning, and we'll talk to her?" ”
