Chapter 19: The Mystery of Life, Parting Ways

Surprised, the child suddenly realized that he was cared for by society. A warm current wells up in my heart.

Hugged Qiao wildly and said, "Sister, I don't have a home anymore." My parents were both brutalized, and I was cornered. "Choked up.

As soon as Dai heard the pity, he immediately drove her to the liquor store, and bought a pancake and a bottle of soda; Give it to the child. Qiao felt that Dai had changed a lot, and he was very pleased.

In the distance, the smell of fireworks and firecrackers makes children feel less sad.

He clenched the food in his hand, as if he was dumb and ate coptis, as if he could not say the bitterness; Suddenly falling to the ground is not very shocking.

Qiao and Dai were surprised, and after understanding the child's intentions, they said, "How long have you been separated from your parents?" ”

"I ...... I haven't seen my father and my mother since I was three years old; They were all killed by this era. ”

"Where are you now?"

The child couldn't help but take a few steps back, and confided leisurely: "A poor family, although they took me in; But they just want to train me to be a 'free' labor force and drive me arbitrarily! If I can't do it, I won't be fed!" Now, I could not stand this torture, and I escaped; There has been nothing to eat. "Whoa, cry......

Joe and Dai looked at each other and said in unison, "Poor, my little brother." I'm sorry for you. ”

A piercing light caught the eyes of the three people.

Looking closely, it turned out that a woman was so aggressive that she blocked the way; He shouted, "Where did you get the hairy child? Stay on the street for a long time, and you're not afraid that someone else will kidnap you,"

After careful thought, Joe and Demer were silent.

And the child turned pale as if he heard the bad news: "Don't ...... Don't mention it, please ...... Please, my parents were kidnapped to death by those scoundrels!

The child's tears were moving.

The old woman thought that the children in front of her were playing greedily on Chinese New Year's Eve and forgot to go home; Remind them deliberately. Unexpectedly, one of them was homeless, and the woman was gloomy.

The woman is an empty nester, and her son and daughter-in-law are also conscripted to work as coolies in Haoba's house on Chinese New Year's Eve. So far, he has not returned, and his life and death are uncertain.

The old woman burst into tears: how many times did the old tree ring and how many times she wept without sleep; Gradually, she dried her tears; Realize that this era is unforgiving and the world is cold.

So she understood the pain of the child, and if the fetus in her daughter-in-law's womb was saved, she also wanted the child to be so old.

The old woman choked back tears and bitterness, and hugged the child: "Child, have you been separated from your parents for a long time?" ”

The child gradually woke up from the unbearable look back and swore to everyone: "I, Meng Shang, am inspirational: to overthrow the old era, so that everyone can enjoy the joy of family!" ”

The old lady couldn't help herself for a long time: "'Shang Wei', there is still something to do; Even Huangkou children are inspirational and still have achievements; What's more, those of us who have gone through half a hundred years, what else can't we see? Child, can you tell grandma what you are writing? ”

The child paused, and then took out an object from his trouser pocket.

Careful investigation will show that it is a belly pocket that has been with Shang Wei since the day of his birth, and it is embroidered with the words "Shake Yue" of his mother.

The old woman woke up suddenly, took Shang Wei's hand and said, "Your name is Meng Shaoyue, right?" ”

Qiao and Dai exclaimed: "Shake Yue looks like it's from the poem." Brother yet, you're so powerful. The two exclaimed.

Shang Wei couldn't help but look at the sky full of fireworks, like a smiling face; The lotus lanterns circulated in the water gap of the store.

I can't help but think of my mother's favorite and most elaborate thing when she was alive was to hold a lantern that "bloomed in a competition" and pray for the Buddha to protect the whole family in front of the Buddhist shrine. Unexpectedly, Shang Wei but after three years, he and his father and mother will never know.

Expecting all this, he was still speechless and smiled at his two sisters and grandmother; Instead, he took out a wishing stone with a heart-shaped Big Dipper pattern from his sleeve: the shape of the bucket handle symbolizes the light of the future that guides the direction, revealing a faint spot of light to people, which has been forgotten for a long time; I also feel that it is very rare.

Shang Wei knelt on the ground, holding the wish stone in his hand; whispering, clasping hands; It's like praying, it's like "casting a spell."

Three minutes later, Shang Wei suddenly took Qiao's hand and faced Dai and the old woman. Calmly recounted: "Family is like a mystery; I can't stay or look back. I had to use this wishing stone to pray for God's blessing to protect them all the way to Huangquan. All of you: the nearest relatives: two sisters and one sister: ask me about it; One brought me a snack and filled my stomach; The old lady found out about my words, and I was very relieved. I'll never forget you. ”

Still excited. The four of them hugged each other, and their love was stronger than gold.

From that moment on, sparseness became a thing of the past.

After that, among the four: still dependent on the old woman for his life, and treated him as if he were his own; Teach him penmanship and the principles of life, and serve the country with other Standing Committee members.

Dai and Joe parted ways and returned home to prepare for the New Year.
