Chapter 9 2008 (Part I)

On the evening of Friday, August 8, 2008, a family of three sat in a mobile phone store. There are transparent display cases in two rows of the store, and there are many model machines inside, and the miscellaneous logo is not lit up today. There were no customers at night, so the owner turned off the lights on the background wall to save electricity.

Next to the store's cash register, there is an LCD screen, and an exciting countdown is being heard: "Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four......"

The dazzling halo happened to illuminate the ancient sundial, and with the sound of tapping, Wei Xinda pulled her little daughter to her lap: "Look at the opening ceremony, you still have to write an essay after reading it!" ”

As soon as the words fell, it was time for the opening ceremony to officially begin. "It's a pleasure to have friends from afarβ€”" A grand welcome fireworks burst out over the Bird's Nest, brilliant and warm. The little girl in front of the screen was even more excited: "Daddy, daddy, look! What beautiful fireworks, wow! ”

Wei Xinda laughed: "It's more fireworks than the fireworks that were set off for you during the New Year, isn't it?" ”

"Yes, yes!" The little girl stretched out her arms to describe the "infinity" in her heart.

"It's a pity, our family didn't get tickets this year, otherwise we would have gone to the scene to see it." The woman next to her held a cup of hot tea and placed it on the table.

"It's okay," Wei Xinda picked up his wife's cup and took a sip, "There is not more than a month left in the summer vacation, let's take the children to Beijing to play in a few days, so that she can also see the world." ”

"I'm going to Beijing, I'm going to the Bird's Nest!"

Wei Xinda narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, he should feel 10,000 happy about his current life. Two years ago, he and his wife had to run around the streets, and even with their children, they had a hard time. In the end, he gritted his teeth, borrowed money and loans, and opened a mobile phone store to sell some cheap smartphones.

happened to catch up with the trend, and the business was booming, and in just two years, not only did he pay off the money, but also opened a branch. Although the youngest daughter is naughty and playful, she is also healthy and lively, and she does not worry them too much.

The opening ceremony was still going on, and Wei Xinda gradually became a little absent-minded.

The wife stopped her little daughter from getting closer and closer to the TV: "So close, don't you want your eyes?!" When the time comes, wear glasses, and be careful that your classmates call you Little Four-Eyed......"

"Mom, I want to have a late-night snack." The youngest daughter threw herself into her mother's arms and sprinkled with coquettishness.

"Eat, eat, eat, you know," the mother pinched her little daughter's nose, "little pig." ”

This mobile phone shop is a shop, but there is a small warehouse at the back, and in addition to the goods, there is also a table with a simple kettle on it, etc., where you can make some simple food.

After a while, Wei Xinda picked up the phone, nodded solemnly, and said inside: "Wife, last time the big customer wanted to see the prototype, I went over." ”

"It's night, can't it be tomorrow?"

"I guess they'll eat there, I'll come back as soon as possible," Wei Xinda opened the drawer, took the house keys and wallet, put the mobile phone into his coat, and squatted in front of his daughter, "I'll go home after watching TV with my mother, and I have to brush my teeth obediently at night, you know?" ”

"Oh." Wei Kexin's eyes are still glued to the TV, where Li Ning, known as the "trapeze", is about to light the torch in the main venue.

If she had known that this would be the last time she would see her father, she would have clung to his leg and cried.

"Yes," she said, waving her hand, "I'm not a child again." ”

That night, Wei Xinda did not return home.

The next day was Saturday, so I didn't have to go to school. When she woke up in the morning, she would run to her parents' bedroom, get them two big lazy worms up, make her breakfast, comb her braids, and take her to the playground. But today, after she knocked on the door, she saw her mother's swollen eyes like two walnuts.

"Xinxin...... "Mom knelt down and hugged Wei Kexin, "Xinxin." The phone in her hand fell to the ground.

On the screen is a hang-up call log, with the note "husband" on it. She didn't know what was going on, but she didn't know until a long time later that it was the first call from the kidnappers, and they asked for half a million in cash, and if they called the police or they didn't feel safe, they would tear up the ticket immediately.

The family didn't have that much money for a while, so the kidnappers agreed to give their mother a morning to scrape together money.

On the phone, Mom had heard Dad breathing while he was still alive, but it was very faint.

For the first time, she didn't cry, she put her arms around her mother's neck and pressed her face against her mother's tearful cheeks. It's not easy to make money, their family looks rich, but in fact, the money is pressed in the landlord and the payment, but now they can't care so much.

"Where's Daddy?"

"Dad went on a business trip," Wei Kexin noticed that the tears had stopped when Mom raised her head again, and there was something burning in her eyes, "You are obedient, go to Grandma's house for a few days." The mother immediately stood up and threw the child's clothes and skirts into the suitcase.

"Stay for a few days......" Wei Kexin blinked, a suffocating atmosphere choked her throat, making it difficult for her to breathe freely, children are extremely sensitive creatures to the environment.

"Don't play tantrums with your grandparents," Mom squeezed out an ugly smile, "and Mom and Dad will pick you up when it's done." ”

- Mom and Dad will pick you up.
