Mom patted me on the back and didn't say anything. When I was tired of crying, my mother took me home and told me to lie on the bed. Cover me with a blanket and say to me, "Hao Ren, Mom knows that you are uncomfortable, you haven't slept all night, and you smoke so much, let's sleep first." ”

I nodded and closed my eyes.

I had a dream, I dreamed that Sun Xiaoqing came back to me with a child in her arms. I took her home, but I couldn't see what the child looked like. I opened my eyes wide to see, I saw Xia Wanyu, I saw Wang Yingli, I saw Ma Xiaodan, I saw Yang Yang, and when I saw Zhang Ling, I was scared awake. My body was covered with sweat, and Zhang Ling was fanning me with a fan.

I gasped for air, and my neck was covered in sweat.

Zhang Ling said to me with red eyes: "Hao Ren, you have only slept for five hours, you are sleeping for a while." ”

I asked her, "What time is it?" ”

Zhang Ling said: "It's twelve o'clock, your mother is cooking, let me help you fan here." ”

I sat there and it took me a while to react from the dream. After I reacted, I felt thirsty in my throat. This is the end of smoking two packs of cigarettes in one night. There was a cup of hot tea next to it, and I brought it over and drank it in one gulp, and then it felt about the same. Zhang Ling looked at me pitifully, hesitated for a long time before saying: "Hao Ren, don't worry, Sun Xiaoqing must be doing very well." ”

I turned to look at her and asked, "How do you know the truth?" ”

"You have been calling Sun Xiaoqing's name just now, and I heard Aunt Xia mention her, besides, your parents also asked me about her last night."

I looked at Zhang Ling, who was frightened, and reached out and touched her head: "Don't worry, I'm fine." After dinner, let's set off, first go to the Ruzhou City Public Security Bureau to make a record, and then we can go back. This time I made you suffer by letting you come back with me. ”

Zhang Ling didn't say anything, lowered her head and fell silent.

I patted her and said, "This is not your style, my eldest lady Zhang Ling who smiles all day long." ”

Zhang Ling raised her head and snorted, and walked out.

I scratched my head, what the hell is going on? What is she angry about?

When my mother and father saw me wake up, they never said anything about Sun Xiaoqing. Especially my father, when he ate, he only cared about his rice bowl and didn't say a word. Zhang Ling also looked depressed, after the meal my mother called me into the back room, took out a small box from her dowry box, took out a piece of jade from the box, and put it in my hand: "Hao Ren, if you meet the first woman who gives birth to you one day, you will give her this piece of jade." ”

I know that my mother is talking about Sun Xiaoqing. I'm afraid that when I come back for the New Year, my mother will know that Sun Xiaoqing is pregnant. It's just that I didn't know what to say at that time, and now my mother sees that Sun Xiaoqing didn't come back with me, and she is looking for Zhang Ling to ask about my situation in college, and I guess everything is clear. That's probably why my father said that to me last night.

In fact, I guessed that the reason why my mother gave me this piece of ancestral jade is probably also for me to pin all my lovesickness and helplessness on the jade, or hope that this piece of jade will bring me peace. Rural people are always so superstitious, but superstitious is always family affection.

I took the piece of jade, gave my mother a smile and said, "Thank you, Mom." ”

My mother stroked my hair and said, "I'm taller than my mother, don't cry in the future, you're a man, it's okay to cry here with my mother, because you're your mother's son, and you're a man." ”

I nodded.

When I left, my mother and father dropped me off at the entrance of the village, and I took someone else's brick-pulling tractor back to the town. Coincidentally, as soon as we got on the brick-pulling tractor, I saw a Santana speeding by, and vaguely saw Wang Shunxing lying in the car, dying.

I laughed, thinking to myself that the people in their family must not have made it to the hospital in time. I was ruthless last night, and I had a lot of internal injuries. As far as the doctor in our village clinic is concerned, he really doesn't have the ability to see him so seriously ill.

I saw my mother and father waving at us, so I quickly waved at my parents and shouted, "Go back, I'll come back to see you for the New Year." ”

It wasn't until I turned a corner and I disappeared from my parents' view that they came home.

……

After arriving in the town, I took Zhang Ling and got off the tractor with the special products that my parents loaded for me. I haven't seen it for a day, and the town is full of banners to bring down the boss of a certain coal mine, and it seems that Sun Changxing's incident has caused a violent repercussion in the town.

Before I could get on the bus to the city, a little girl squatting across the station came running up to me and called me, "Brother Hao Ren." ”

I turned my head and saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl wearing a copycat kappa top and a pair of sandals on her feet, and her whole person looked dirty. I asked her, "Are you calling me?" ”

The girl nodded, hesitated, and said, "I've been waiting for you here for days, and finally let me meet you, I adore you." ”

I asked her, "Are you a student at Sending Material No. 1 Middle School?" ”

She nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and then lowered her head with a somewhat gloomy expression and said: "Brother Hao Ren, I am in the third year of junior high school this year, my family is very poor, I don't study well, and I don't look beautiful, after listening to your speech, I want to change, I don't want to stay in the water." ”

Hearing the girl say this, I instantly paid attention to it. If I say something that changes someone's life, then I am responsible for that person's life. Once Ma Xiaodan changed my life with hehe, and now, I used a speech to change the life of a girl, I hope to help her get out of this mountain, I thought about it for a while, and said to her: "From today on, set a goal, I am ready to be admitted to that university, you don't need to write the name of this university on paper, you just need to write it in the bottom of your heart, say it to yourself every day before going to bed, and after four years, you can realize your dream." ”

The girl froze in place, Zhang Ling also raised her head in surprise, I smiled lightly, and said to her, "Come on." ”

The girl also said to me, "Come on." ”

I got on the city and city bus to the city with Zhang Ling, Zhang Ling looked at me sideways, and I asked her, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Ling was silent, and asked me: "What you said are what you did back then?" ”

I smiled and nodded solemnly.

"Then you're not afraid that she will also meet a boy like Ma Xiaodan."

I was silent, and after a while I said, "No." ”

"For what? Are you so convinced? ”

"Because she has me."

Zhang Ling thought for a moment, then smiled heartily.

She asked me, "What would you say to yourself before you go to bed now?" ”

I also thought about it for a moment and said four words: "Try to live." ”
