Chapter 13: Qin Xiaoyu's Story 2
Such a life of bitterness and joy came to naught one day when she was 12 years old, and Qin's father never came back after he went to sea in a storm, and even his body was not found. Qin Xiaoyu didn't cry, just sat on the shore and watched into the distance, believing that his father would definitely come back, they were still talking and laughing together yesterday. Qin Xiaoyu also said that when he grew up, he would take his father to travel around, because Qin's father had never left here since he was born. But Dad said he only wanted to go to City A, because Qin's mother might be there. Father Qin also said that he wanted to see her look in a wedding dress when she got married...... When people are gone, all wishes have become extravagant hopes.
When Qin Xiaoyu finally knew that it was impossible for Father Qin to come back, she jumped into the sea. Because she thought that maybe she would be able to see her father in this way. Her body gradually sank, and the surroundings began to become silent, and just when she felt that her chest was about to explode, a force made her float upward, and in the confusion, she seemed to see a figure "Dad, is it you?" ”
When Qin Xiaoyu woke up, there was a weathered old man sitting next to him, and he was the one who saved Qin Xiaoyu. After listening to Qin Xiaoyu's experience, he faced the sea and said, "You can't wait until you wait for a few days, I've been waiting for more than twenty years." "The deep gaze is mixed with a gentle warm current, like the sun in winter, lonely and warm. It turned out that his two sons went to sea like Qin's father and never came back, and his wife was also too sad and died of depression soon after.
The old man said earnestly, "If your father knows that you are looking for death, he will be sad." He must want you to live well. You're still so young, and there's still a long way to go. ”
Qin Xiaoyu remembered about the gas stove, her father wanted her to live so much, how could she give up her life easily. From this time, she secretly decided that she must live strong in order to make her father feel at ease.
Maybe it's because of the same sickness, since then, Qin Xiaoyu has lived with his grandfather. Grandpa was not in good health because he overworked at sea when he was young, but he would still go to the beach every day to fish, and then sell it in the market for Qin Xiaoyu to study. Qin Xiaoyu is in boarding school, and although she will only go back on weekends and winter and summer vacations, she will cherish the time with her grandfather. Grandpa is not only a benefactor to himself, but also as valuable as a relative.
But when she was a sophomore in high school, her grandfather fell ill in bed and couldn't take care of herself. Qin Xiaoyu dropped out of school despite his grandfather's opposition and began to take care of him wholeheartedly. She hopes that she can repay him, and she doesn't want her important people to leave her, and even if she wants to leave, she has to accompany him on his last journey.
Grandpa was still gone, and she had just turned eighteen that year. Before leaving, he left her a sum of money and asked her to go to City A to find Qin's mother. After dealing with the aftermath, Qin Xiaoyu began a life of calling the world home. Waiter, newspaper delivery, car cleaning, everything. After a long journey, I finally came to City A, a city full of flowers but weak people. Everyone seems to be busy running around for a living, and no one has time to stop and listen to your story.
The only thing Qin Xiaoyu likes about this city is that it is relatively close to the seaside, which can be reached in 40 minutes. Whenever she is in the sea, she seems to be thrown into her father's arms, so warm and powerful, she feels that she is no longer alone, and where there is a sea, there is a father's existence, because his soul has been integrated into it.
