Twentieth Night: Gotta go
No matter how difficult life is, it can only be like this, half of it is memories, and it is generally going on.
Don't think about it, it's unforgettable.
Wen Xiaoguo was late for the university registration date, but he still had a few things to do before leaving.
He was going to visit Lao Zhao who was serving his sentence in prison with his sister. Prison visits were only allowed on Mondays, and he had to seize the opportunity.
Originally, he brought a lot of things to Lao Zhao, but they all were detained before the visit.
"Can't I bring cigarettes in?" Wen Xiaoguo asked the prison guard, with a thick begging in his tone.
"No, you can't." The prison guard replied decisively.
In addition to the things he planned to bring to Lao Zhao, even the mobile phones, watches and other metal items on him and Ah Luo were detained and stored in temporary lockers.
After registering their ID cards and other information, the two of them sat in the hall and waited for a long time before they saw Lao Zhao.
"You're okay, I'm going to college, and I'm going to see you with Ah Luo before I leave." Wen Xiaoguo said:
"Oh, then you leave early, don't delay the school. I'm okay, everyone who lives in the same house with me knows why I came in, and no one dares to bully me. It's been a mix for both days. Hey hey ......"
Lao Zhao's comfort deliberately showed a kind of pride and ease.
"Girl, don't cry, look at your baby, the tears haven't stopped since you came in, what's there to cry about, Dad, it's not good?" Lao Zhao comforted his daughter:
"Xiaoguo, I have all the money for college, at your aunt's, you went to the field and stayed away from home, take care of yourself." Lao Zhao said:
"No, I applied for a national student loan, which is enough for tuition and living expenses, so I can earn some money by working part-time during the holidays, and looking for work-study opportunities after going to university. I still have a pension from the state, and I can do it by myself if I work for other jobs. Wen Xiaoguo said:
"Hehe, good doll, oh, and, go back and tell your aunt that there is a passbook in the red cabinet at home, and there are still some resettlement fees given to me by the army, as well as some of the money I have saved from running passenger transportation in the past few years, saving a little, and barely enough for you to live for a few years." Lao Zhao continued:
"Well, which red cabinet is in the house?" Wen Xiaoguo asked:
"In the closet of the guest room, it is your aunt's dowry back then, and she knows it as soon as you say it. She has the key to the box, and the code is Ah Luo's birthday. ”
"Okay, remember."
"Xiaoyang, you have really grown up now, and my uncle is very grateful to you for saving Ah Luo that day. I know that in the past two years, you have been a lot of estrangement in my heart. You don't have to care about me anymore, and you don't have to come to see me, but my uncle wants you to take care of the family more, and take care of your sister and your aunt more. ”
"I know, don't worry, I'm going to send Ah Luo to the school to settle down first, find out if my high school classmates have repeated in the second middle school, ask them to help take care of Ah Luo, and then I will report to the school again, anyway, it's late, there is no difference between one day late and three days late."
The expression on Lao Zhao's face was even more relaxed, but when he turned his eyes to look at his flooded daughter, he looked anxious and panicked again.
"Girl, don't cry, dad behave well and try to go home early." Lao Zhao said:
"Dad......" Ah Luo's chest seems to be filled with lead, and it is extremely difficult to breathe, not only is the blood surging, but also blocked so that he can't say a word, except for crying and crying, there is no other way to release it.
"Don't cry, you have to study hard in high school, don't tell your classmates about your father when you're chatting together, it's disgraceful after all, don't let other classmates laugh at you." Lao Zhao also held back the tears in the corners of his eyes, what he was most worried about was his daughter, who was not yet sixteen years old.
"Dad......" Ah Luo was sad and anxious, and kept speechless.
"Girl, don't come to see me except for holidays in the future, don't delay your studies. When I was in high school, I had to listen to my father, and I would talk about it when I was admitted to college, and if there was a suitable boy who I really liked, my father would not object. Oh yes, you must remember Dad's words, if one day that male doll doesn't like you, let him not lie to you, let him come and tell me directly, it's okay, I'll take my daughter home, you just say it's your dad said, remember to tell him......"
Although Lao Zhao said with a smile, he couldn't suppress his emotions, and tears fell down and hit the handcuffs.
"Okay, let's go back, it seems that the family visits here are also limited, so let's go......"
Lao Zhao didn't do any more tugging, and resolutely got up and walked towards the iron gate behind him, leaving his daughter wailing and Wen Xiaoguo silently. Wen Xiaoguo has it in his heart
An indescribable feeling, did he and his sister comfort Lao Zhao who was in prison, or Lao Zhao in prison comforted them who were free outside the prison?
When Lao Zhao walked out, he passed by the prison guards guarding the door. The prison guard also felt a little emotional when he saw a big man with a wet face.
"I knew that I was sad like this today, why did I still cause trouble in the first place?" The prison guard said:
Lao Zhao glanced up at the prison guard, a relieved smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he replied with three words firmly:
"No regrets......
After Wen Xiaoyang came out of the detention center, he felt that the sun was so dazzling, and Lao Zhao's tenacity in the face of life taught him a deep lesson. People, as long as they live, whether they are happy, bumpy, pessimistic, stubborn, or suffering, nothing can be overcome.
After settling down at home, Wen Xiaoguo went to visit her aunt before leaving, and used the money she earned from her summer job to buy some fruits and tea. What happened these days has exploded in the entire township, and for a while it has become a hot topic for families to walk the streets and alleys after dinner, and Wen Xiaoguo's aunt was really frightened.
When he saw his nephew appear at the door, the old man hurriedly threw down the dustpan in his hand and staggered over, Wen Xiaoguo habitually bent down and let his aunt touch his head.
"My baby, it's good to come back, it's good to come back......"
"Aunt, I'm fine, I'm going to college tomorrow, I'll come to see you before I leave."
"Okay, let my aunt take a look at you again, my baby's life is hard, God has a bad heart, and he won't even give you a complete home......"
The next day, Wen Xiaoguo finally stepped on the train to Tianjin, his luggage was not much, a schoolbag, a suitcase, he always didn't like to bring too many things when he went out, he always subconsciously thought that no matter where he went, the lighter the bag, the better, because every time he went to a new place, I don't know how many people are waiting for him to pack.
When Wen Xiaoguo took the water from his bag, he confirmed by the way what he brought out of the house, one was Liu Jun's MJ doll, the book "Ordinary World", and the old photos in the book.
