Chapter 53: The Past

At this time, Grandma Mo, who had never spoken, spoke:

"What a fierce old man! The grandson finally came back, can you talk well? Look Ah Hong is scolded and cried by you! ”

After that, he went up and pulled out the chair and motioned to Mo Hongming to sit down quickly:

"Let's all sit down and eat, the children have been waiting for a long time, and they are hungry!"

At the dinner table, the usual lively atmosphere was extremely condensed today, and everyone was quietly eating the plate in front of them, and they didn't have the heart to stand up and pick up the dishes in the distance.

Especially Mo Hongming, who was even more trembling at the moment, was afraid that Old Man Mo would make him fall off the chair with a shout.

Millet porridge, fried buns, small pickles...... These are the standard breakfasts prepared by his wife in the past, but at the moment, they are tasteless in Old Man Mo's mouth.

As soon as Mo Hongming came in, Old Man Mo noticed this grandson who worried him day and night.

Three years, three whole years! He never stopped searching for his grandson's whereabouts. Ask friends, write notices, print photos......

In order to find this willful little rabbit cub, Old Man Mo begged for people everywhere and walked to every corner of City A. Even later, even "Mo Ji" was closed, but it still didn't work.

For many days, seeing his wife sitting alone by the window silently shedding tears for his grandson, Old Man Mo was also depressed in his heart, leaving only cigarette butts all over the floor.

For three years, since Ah Hong left, Old Man Mo has never had a good night's sleep.

He regretted more than once that if he had slapped him less impulsively, maybe Ah Hong would not have left the house.

This slap not only shattered Mo Hongming's self-esteem, but also shattered the once invincible family relationship between the grandfather and grandson.

But "the love is deep, the responsibility is keen". Old Man Mo had great hopes for Mo Hongming, and how annoyed he was when he saw his grandson doing nothing all day long, eating and drinking with a large group of fox friends and dogs.

In these more than 1,000 sleepless nights, Old Man Mo has always been hanging in his heart and frightened.

Ah Hong is still so young, will he meet bad people when he goes out? Will you be deceived? Will he catch a cold on a rainy day? You won't be bullied by others when you go out to do a union......

This series of worries has been bothering Old Man Mo, causing him to be unable to eat and sleep every day.

Now that Ah Hong has finally returned home, as soon as he enters the door, Old Man Mo's heart finally settled down, and he began to secretly look at Mo Hongming with his spare eyes.

I haven't seen him for a few years, this little rabbit cub has grown a lot taller, and he has kept his previous spiritual inch and combed it into bangs to cover his forehead. The baby fat on the face faded, and the pointed chin was covered with a thin layer of stubble.

On the whole, although Mo Hongming's facial features have not changed much, his temperament is very different from three years ago.

Xu is old man Mo was too strict with his education before, and this little rabbit cub has been bowing his head and silent since he sat down, and he was extremely restrained.

"How did you become cringe after a few years out? There is no manhood at all. Come on, eat an egg! ”

Looking at Mo Hongming, who had an extra egg in the bowl, an indescribable joy arose in his heart, tears welled up, and he choked up and thanked him.

"The master is really hard-mouthed and soft-hearted!"

Ye Jingshu took advantage of the gap between the fried buns and quietly grimaced at Ye Cheng.

"What are you doing muttering there without eating!"

Don't look at Old Man Mo's age, but his ears are more sensitive than anyone else, and he suddenly heard Ye Jingshu's muttering, and his old face turned red: It turned out that he was touched through so quickly.

Poof, Ye Jingshu couldn't help laughing, it turned out that the master still couldn't say that.

After such a trouble, the atmosphere at the table has eased a lot, and after coming and going, the place has returned to its former liveliness.

Old Man Mo, who has been silently caring about his grandson, saw that his grandson was still eating silently, which seemed to be incompatible with the current atmosphere, and he couldn't suppress the irritability in his heart:

How did this dead kid become a stuffy gourd when he went out? Eight sticks can't hit a fart?

It seems that he can only let this old man go out in person.

So, after a few turns of thought, Old Man Mo asked casually:

"Tell me, what have you been doing all these years."

"Looking at the way you look now, I'm afraid you've suffered a lot, right?"

When Mo Hongming heard this, tears flowed out continuously, and he couldn't say a word when he sobbed.

At this time, Grandma Mo was also distressed when she saw her grandson crying into tears. immediately didn't even eat, and went back to the house to get a towel to wipe Mo Hongming's face.

"Ah Hong, don't cry yet, it's all over, look at it, now that I and your grandfather are here, we will always be by your side, and no one dares to bully you."

Mo Hongming put down the towel and plunged into Grandma Mo's arms. The reassuring breath of grandma's arms and the smell of the sun gradually calmed his mood.

"Grandma, I'm ......"

"Don't worry, take your time."

Mo Hongming turned his head to look at Old Man Mo and found that although he had a gloomy face at the moment, he couldn't hide the care in his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Mo Hongming fell into deep memories.

"Grandpa, grandma, Sister Ye, Brother Cheng. At that time, because I was willful, I was unwilling to learn the craft from my grandfather, so I was beaten and left the house in a rage. ”

"At the time, I was really just leaving. As soon as I went out, I regretted it a little. ”

After speaking, Mo Hongming pulled the corners of his mouth and revealed a bitter smile, which deeply stabbed the old couple of the Mo family.

"Ah Hong, what did you say you were angry at that time! It's not that I'm talking about you, what kind of temper your grandfather has, it's not that you don't understand! Isn't it for your own good to say a few words to you, just go! ”

Different from Grandma Mo's distressed scolding, Old Man Mo is more concerned about how he lives after leaving home.

"Little rabbit, if you run out alone, don't you bring some money? When you go out, you can't move an inch without money! ”

Looking at Old Man Mo's round eyes, Mo Hongming took two mouthfuls of rice with a weak heart, and muttered:

"Grandpa, actually...... Actually, I brought 50 yuan with me when I went out......"

When Old Man Mo heard this, he immediately wondered, thinking about how strict he was with his eldest grandson's education at the beginning, and he basically didn't give him pocket money except for eating.

I knew that this 50 yuan was not a small amount, and at that time, I sold pig's trotters, and I came and went in the wind and rain, and I made so much money in two weeks.

With questions, Old Man Mo still asked.

I saw Mo Hongming pursed his lips, two red clouds appeared on his face, and he glanced at Old Man Mo timidly:

"At that time, I made an appointment with Ah Fei in advance to go to the game hall, and I asked you for it but didn't give it to you. I can't help it, so I took the money out of your pocket......"

At this moment, Master Mo didn't know whether to cry or laugh:

He taught this wild boy all day not to go to entertainment places such as game halls, but instead of listening, he committed crimes against the wind. If you don't have money, you can still do it!

Although 50 yuan is not a small amount, once you leave home, this little oil and water is not enough to stuff your teeth!

As soon as he heard that this little cub had done petty theft again, Old Man Mo couldn't hold back for a moment and planned to "serve in the family law", but fortunately his wife held his hand and was able to give up.

But looking at the grandson who was full of vitality in the past, he seems to have changed at this moment, as if all the vitality of his body has been drained away. Old Man Mo couldn't bear to say anything more.

Seeing that Mo Hongming, who was about to get angry, received the look from his grandmother, his heart was not good, and he immediately changed the topic:

"Later, I was afraid that you would find me, so I bought a ticket and took the train to G City overnight to work hard."

"But I didn't expect that as soon as I got there, the wallet was stolen by the thief......"

Hearing these twists and turns, the old couple of the Mo family were terrified.

"What happened to you?"

……

The tortuous experience is like a gurgling stream slowly coming out of Mo Hongming's mouth.

When so much bitterness and sorrow in the past was re-told by Mo Hongming at this moment, it was like telling a story, as if it was not something that happened to him.

But Ye Jingshu knew that Mo Hongming at this time was a person who had been baptized and cultivated by the years. After suffering hardships, suffering sins, and truly understanding life, it will become so light and light.

brushed the dishes and broke the wages that were deducted for a month; I went to work at three o'clock in the morning to clean the streets, and the work was heavy but the salary was meager; I had no choice but to sleep in a public toilet secretly, but I was warned and punished after dawn......

One by one, the bitterness is complained. At this time, everyone was deeply saddened by Mo Hongming's experience.

"And what about later? Have you continued to sweep the streets? Didn't find a place to stay. ”

I saw Mo Hongming shaking his head bitterly, suddenly stood up, and knelt straight towards the old couple of the Mo family:

"Grandparents, I have failed your teachings and done unforgivable things. I hope you don't get mad at me......"

As soon as Grandma Mo saw it, her grandson knelt down in a daze, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Mo Hongming up:

"You kid, what are you kneeling on, get up quickly!"

But Old Man Mo didn't say a word. Intuitively, something must have happened, and it was a very bad thing.

I saw that Mo Hongming avoided Grandma Mo's support, not only did he not get up, but kowtowed to the ground. Gritted his teeth, word by word, and spit it out with difficulty:

"I'm in jail!"

Looking at the shocked looks on the faces of the old couple, Mo Hong smiled bitterly:

"Grandparents, grandchildren are not filial. In fact, when he was desperate, his grandson wanted to come back. Even if you never forgive me, as long as I can accompany you secretly and watch you do well, I will be satisfied. ”

"But after that, I met Brother Liu and went astray."

……

Mo Hongming's tortuous experience made the Mo family angry and sad. And Ye Jingshu and Ye Cheng, who were sitting on the side, were also embarrassed in their hearts:

Two years ago, Mo Hongming, who was desperate in G City, met a boss surnamed Liu, saying that he could make a lot of money by following him.

Mo Hongming, who was not deeply involved in the world, had already reached the point of exhaustion at this time, and as soon as he heard that there was money to be made, he easily took the bait.

So, Mo Hongming made an inside line for the drug trafficking organization in a daze.

Fortunately, the first time the boss was exposed and was arrested by the police. And as a little shrimp, he naturally can't avoid prison.

Reading that he is still young and admits mistakes with a good attitude. After serving two years in prison, Mo Hongming was released.

After many rounds and living on the streets, by chance, Mo Hongming secretly jumped on a coal truck bound for City A to return to his hometown.
