Chapter 1 The Child Who Fell from the Floor
The seventh day of junior high school is a newsboy.
He was thirteen years old, with big flexible eyes, and he ran down the street every day, shaking the newspaper in his hand and shouting, "Outside the number!"
I haven't seen my parents since I was very young, and I was fostered in a relative's house, and every time I heard someone talk about my parents behind my back, the cousin would snort coldly: "Bullshit ideals, I've never seen anyone who doesn't care about children for ideals." ”
Therefore, the seventh day of junior high school knows that he has parents, but they can't accompany him and watch him grow up for some special reasons.
Thinking of this, the voice of selling newspapers on the street every day on the seventh day of the first month is clear, because he has hope in his heart, as long as a person has hope, he will not sink, and he will live with courage.
The seventh day of the first month was to discover the child in one afternoon.
He was a teenager and not tall, and he looked up to make sure that the yellow-skinned child looked a head shorter than himself. The most terrifying thing is his gaze, those eyes that should be childish seem to be a pool of stagnant water, lifeless.
This lifelessness made Chu Qi stop, he put down the newspaper in his hand, and asked the child sitting on the street corner, "What's wrong with you?" ”
The child looked up and saw that it was a newsboy in a cloth coat who was about his age and was asking himself, and the corners of his mouth were tugging, trying to pull away a smile: "It's okay." ”
This smile was full of bitterness and bitterness that did not match his age, Chu Qi's heart was sour, and he simply squatted beside the child: "Hey, what's wrong with you, I just see you sitting here in the morning, it's all afternoon, and you're still sitting here, are you waiting for someone?" ”
The child nodded: "Yes, wait for someone, wait for my mother." But...... But she ...... Don't recognize me. ”
Such a thing.
A sense of familiarity arose, and Chu Qi thought of himself over the years, sighed and said: "Who knows the heart of adults, maybe, your mother has a hard time, for example, what ideals, for ideals." ”
"Hmph, she just dislikes me and doesn't want to recognize me." The child gritted his teeth a little, and when he saw Chu Qi staring at him, he lowered his head, "I heard that she was going to get married, maybe she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to marry if she recognized me." ”
Chu Qi simply sat opposite the child and stretched out his hand: "My name is Chu Qi, what is your name?" ”
"My name is Zhuzi, and my name is Xu Tianzhu."
"Tianzhu, the name is good." I have been selling newspapers for several years, and I know a few words from the newspaper, he doesn't have a large size, and he has been called the seventh day since he can remember, why is it called the seventh day of the first month? Could it be that he was born in the seventh month? He didn't know his birthday, and his cousin's family who adopted him had many children, and he rarely went back to that home four years ago.
Probably sympathy for the same disease, Chu Qi felt that Xu Tianzhu was very pitiful, thought about it, took out a piece of candy wrapped in shiny paper from his arms and handed it to Xu Tianzhu: "The day before yesterday, someone had a happy event, he was really rich, sprinkled sugar at the door of the International Hotel, I picked up several pieces, and this one is left, oh, you eat." ”
Xu Tianzhu stared at the sugar cube, swallowed a mouthful of spit, but shook his head: "You eat, such a rare thing, I don't have anything for you." ”
"Hey, who wants your things, and the rivers and lakes rely on a righteous word, righteousness, and know how to cut it?"
Xu Tianzhu nodded as if he didn't understand, and Chu Qi put the sugar cube in his hand: "I see that you have been here for most of the day, if you don't eat or drink, you must be hungry, eat." “
Xu Tianzhu thanked him, opened the candy and put it in his mouth, carefully smoothed and folded the candy paper into a small piece and put it in his arms and said, "Thank you, Brother Chu, this is the second piece of candy I have eaten." The year before last, when my grandmother was still there, she exchanged silkworm cocoons for a few pieces of candy with the merchant, but they were not wrapped in this kind of beautiful paper, and they were not as delicious as this. ”
Chu Qi smiled and said, "That's your bare-ass candy in the countryside!" ”
Bare ass candy! Xu Tianzhu couldn't help laughing; "yes, bare-ass candy."
He finished laughing, looked at the blue sky, and let out a sigh: "I miss my grandma." ”
"You still have grandma, your grandma can still buy you candy, I don't know what my parents look like, what do I say is ideal, my cousin said that ideal is bullshit."
"I know ideals, we also have schools in the countryside, and I heard the gentleman there say when I was herding cattle that ideals are hopes. To live, there must be hope. ”
"Hopefully, I hope I can make a lot of money, wear a suit like those little masters, kick the leather shoes of a dead dog, wear a cap, and look good."
There is a good sun today, shining warmly on the body.
Chu Qi stood up: "Okay, I'm going to sell newspapers, pillar, what are you going to do?" Sitting here all the time? ”
"I want to ask again, ask one last time, if she recognizes me, if she doesn't recognize me, I will take the train back to my hometown."
"By train? Do you have any money? ”
"No money, I know an uncle on the train, the uncle is very good, he will take me back."
"Alright, I'll sell the newspaper."
The seventh day of the first month sang loudly while walking: "In the spring, come the potpourri Lang Lang
The warm sun shone on my ragged clothes in the sky
Langrigron Lang
I have to be busy in order to eat, to wear every day
Lang Ri Ge Lang Ri Lang has to eat a bowl of rice without money
You have to live in a room, even if the proprietress looks weird
Langrigron Grande Lang ......"
Walking to the mouth of the alley, Chu Qi glanced back, Xu Tianzhu smiled at him, waved his hand and shouted: "Chu Qi brother, you sing so well!" ”
Chu Qi laughed: "Pillar, goodbye, good luck!" ”
That night, the cigarette stand on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year opened at the entrance of the Dahua Ballroom.
He was very capable, selling newspapers during the day, and at night he used the money from the newspaper sales to buy some cigarettes and sit at the door of the dance hall to sell cigarettes.
There are people watching the field in this realm, and the seventh day of the first month has been here for two years, and I have to pay some money to others every month, so there is nothing to do.
When he saw someone coming, he stood up and shouted, "Sir, the cigarettes are to be cut off." Old knife brand cigarettes, beautiful brand cigarettes. ”
The neon lights on the ballroom flickered and shone on the faces of the people at the door.
There was music coming from the dance hall, and the warbler Yanyan didn't know what to sing.
Chu Qi suddenly thought, I don't know if the pillar went to find his mother, since the woman didn't recognize him from the beginning, it's useless to look for it again, maybe the pillar followed the uncle who worked on the train back to his hometown. Hey, really...... Is...... It's the same end of the world.
Chu Qi was so happy that he could think of a sentence of Wen Su's words, and he danced with his hands.
At this moment, he heard a dull sound not far away, like a big burden falling from the roof of the building.
He stood up, looked over, and heard someone shouting, "Oh my God, it's a person, someone has fallen." ”
Someone falling upstairs?
Chu Qi curiously stepped forward to look, thinking that tomorrow would be a plus, and I don't know who was so careless.
"Ah, it's a child!"
Someone shouted.
Child? The rooftop of the ballroom?
Chu Qi suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, he probed and squeezed in front of the person, and the whole person was stunned: Tianna, it's a pillar, it's Xu Tianzhu!
