When he came back to the twenty-square-meter home, Zheng Wenlou carefully put Xiaotong on the bed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Xiaotong, sleep, Dad will take you to the car in a while. ā
Zheng Wenlou looked at the sleepy cute little face, held back his tears and squeezed out a smile, and then tiptoed to pack his luggage, for fear of waking Xiaotong up.
It was his and his daughter's only home, and although it was just a humble rental house, he had always kept it as his safe haven, but now, he was going back with his daughter to meet some people he didn't want to see.
"Damn it. ā
Zheng Wenlou looked at the small pile of black ash on the table, this was something he burned, a strange dead branch that he picked up.
Since he left his hometown and followed that woman here, he has no friends, no relatives, just buried himself in work and wants to work hard for a good future.
Every time he went to the river and the seaside, he liked to pick up some strange stones and come back to collect and play, but a few months ago, he saw a thumb-thick young leaf and dead branch lying on the river beach, so he picked it up, for no other reason, but he felt that there were still young leaves growing on the dead branch, which made him curious.
Originally, there was nothing wrong, but when he came back from shopping for vegetables three days ago, he found that Xiaotong actually held the dead branch in his hand, and gnawed on the young leaves on it with his small mouth, which immediately made him very annoyed when he was a father for the first time, and then hurriedly grabbed it, ignoring Xiaotong's crying, and broke it on the spot and threw it into the trash.
.........
.........
But because of this mistake, he regretted it for the rest of his life.
He still clearly remembered that at the moment when the young leaves and branches were broken, a crystal green light suddenly filled the crack, which came and went as fast as it came, but it wrapped him and his daughter in a flash, and then disappeared in an instant, which made him stunned.
According to Director Feng, he suffered some kind of allogeneic aggression that caused the virus to mutate, and in just one night, he got the rare "tree man disease" in the history of medicine.
He took the broken young leaves and dead branches to monitor, but the conclusion given by the experts was basically the same, that is, an ordinary dead branch, there was no big problem, and finally let him get angry, take it home and break it a few more times, the green light did not appear, and he burned it in a fit of anger.
But now he regretted it a little, maybe the withered branches hid some secrets, but now that they were burned to ashes, it was too late for him to regret it.
"Alas. ā
Zheng Wenlou sighed, and after packing his luggage, he reluctantly glanced at the place where he had stayed for five years, and then walked towards the train station with Xiaotong in his arms.
.........
.........
Three days later, Zheng Wenlou walked into a wealthy community with Xiaotong in swaddling clothes on his back and knocked on a door.
"Who?"
"The second aunt is me. ā
With a "bang", the door opened, revealing a middle-aged woman dressed in a noble and beautiful manner.
"What are you doing here? It's been five years, and I thought you were dead outside. ā
The middle-aged woman looked at Zheng Wenlou dissatisfied, and when she saw the two pairs of terrifying palms under her sleeves, she was suddenly startled.
"What's the matter with you?" said the middle-aged woman as she hurriedly closed the door, revealing only a gap, and was full of horror.
"Sick, a strange sickness. ā
Zheng Wenlou smiled bitterly, then turned sideways, exposed Xiaotong behind him, and said, "Second aunt, this is my daughter, called Xiaotong." Zheng Wenlou looked at Xiao Tong's curious big eyes and said, "Xiao Tong, this is the second grandmother..."
"Where did the wild seed come from, I don't have relatives like you, don't talk about it. The middle-aged woman said with a look of disgust on her face.
"Huifang, who is it?"
"Second aunt..."Zheng Wenlou was stunned for a moment, and opened his mouth to say something, but after hearing the voice in the house, his face couldn't help but be happy, and shouted: "Second uncle, it's me, Wenlou!"
"Well, you're back from work?"
A middle-aged man poked his head out and glanced at Zheng Wenlou strangely, and when he noticed the pair of terrifying palms, he was also startled and asked.
"What's going on?"
"Old man, this rabbit cub is sick, and it is best to die of illness, so as to save others from poking his backbone in the back. The middle-aged woman sarcastically said.
"Don't speak. The middle-aged man glanced at it, then looked at Zheng Wenlou and asked, "What's going on?" What kind of disease is this, and why does it look so serious?"
.........
.........
"The doctor said it was a tumor. Zheng Wenlou squeezed out a smile to make himself look a little more modest, and asked.
"Second uncle, can I borrow some money from you? I want to take Xiaotong to the doctor..."
"Borrow money? Good boy! Where does our family have the money to lend you? When your father died, but we were implicated, the old man's company was directly confiscated by the government, and it was hundreds of millions! If you say no, it will be gone! Now that you see that our family's situation has improved, you want to come and ask for money? Who do you think you are? Get out of here now, we don't have relatives like you!"
The more the middle-aged woman spoke, the more angry she became, and when she thought of Zheng Wenlou's father who was a big corrupt official, her face became gloomy, and she said.
"You said it back then, everything about you has nothing to do with your relatives!"
"Huifang, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have passed away, but Wenlou..." As soon as the middle-aged man said, he was interrupted by the woman: "Are you still helping him? If it weren't for my father at that time, you would also be going to prison! Do you bear to let our mother and son be left alone?"
"Bang!"
After the middle-aged woman roared angrily, she slammed the door shut, making Zheng Wenlou stunned.
"Wow, wow, wow!"
"Don't cry, Xiaotong, don't cry, don't be afraid, Dad is here. ā
Zheng Wenlou hurriedly comforted the frightened Xiaotong, and only after staying at the door for a long time did he move his pace and walk outside.
"Uncle..."
"Bang!" the door slammed.
"Secretary Chen..."
"Wen Lou, where did you find my number? Don't look for me again in the future, now the impact of your father's incident has not dissipated, I hung up, by the way, don't call me Secretary Chen now, I am already the deputy director." ā
"Grandma..."
"Who are you, young man, do I know you?" asked a senile mother-in-law, curiously.
"Third aunt..."
"Big brother, where is my mother putting on a face, do you have anything to do with her?"
"Haohao, I'm your cousin, I hugged you when I was a child, don't you remember?"
"Really?" said a boy standing behind the iron gate, looking at Zheng Wenlou strangely.
"Yes, yes, Haohao, this is Xiaotong, it's your niece, you talk to your mother, and you say that Zheng Wenlou is here. ā
"Okay, I'll ask. The little boy quickly ran back, closed the door with a frightened face, and muttered, "My mother said you are a bad person, you should leave quickly." ā
.........
.........
At this time, on a deserted hill, Zheng Wenlou plucked a weed full of tears, stretched out his hand to stroke the rough cement tombstone made of materials he bought, and muttered in his mouth.
"Dad, Mom, Wenlou is not filial, I haven't come to see you for so long, really..."
"Damn, none of them stammered our family back then... But now..."
Zheng Wenlou knelt on the ground and cried directly, while Xiao Tong, who was ignorant behind him, couldn't help but reach out curiously and touched his face.
"Good, Xiaotong, this is grandpa and grandma, father, mother, you see, this is my daughter, called Xiaotong..."
Zheng Wenlou wiped away his tears, but as he was talking, suddenly an angry voice sounded, which made him stunned, and Xiaotong was even more frightened and cried.
"Boy, I've been waiting for you for a long time! Do you know that it is illegal to bury you without permission?"
Two sturdy old peasants came out of the weeds next to them with angry faces.
"Xiaotong, don't cry, don't cry. ā
Zheng Wenlou comforted him, then looked at the two old farmers, and had an ominous premonition in his heart, so he asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"This hill is the land of our village! You kid buried the dead here without the consent of the village? What do you say?" the two old peasants rolled up their sleeves and glared at Zheng Wenlou angrily.
"Ahh
As soon as Zheng Wenlou spoke, he was interrupted by one of the old farmers: "I'm sorry, it's been so many years now, we don't embarrass you, you can bury it here, but you have to hand over a sum of money to the village." ā
"How much money?"
"Not much, 20,000 yuan. ā
