For Thanksgiving, a foreign festival for foreigners, I have only learned about it in online videos.

I really came to this day abroad to know how lively they were on this day.

In the evening, as if afraid that I would not participate, the neighbor came to the small courtyard to look for me, and urged enthusiastically: "Let's go!" The square is now lively! ”

The neighbor's aunt pulled me, I pulled Jona, and the three of us came to the central square of the town.

The square is very lively, and almost all the people of the town gather here, they are singing and dancing around a bonfire.

The neighbor's aunt couldn't hold back anymore and couldn't wait to join.

glanced at Qiu Sijie and shouted to the rest of the crowd: "Take care of it!" ”

Then he actively joined the dancing crowd.

Before Qiu Sijie could react, two women pulled her to the seat next to her with a smile.

Jona was about to follow, but was pulled by a little sister who smiled and invited her to join in the dance.

Joanna looked at me crampedly, obviously not suitable for such an occasion, and she was too embarrassed to refuse the beautiful woman who was pulling her around, and wanted me to help her find an excuse.

However, I didn't intend to save her, but deliberately said, "Go! Don't you love to dance? Follow the excitement. ”

Hearing me say this, the little sister became more enthusiastic, called a few more people, and forcibly pulled the bewildered Joanna into the crowd dancing around the campfire.

I watched as Jona, who was usually a loner, was seriously learning their dance steps and blending in, and the corners of my mouth rose slightly.

Jona should have appeared more on such occasions, she was already in her prime, but she lived like a lonely old man.

The townspeople were so welcoming, and as soon as I sat down, someone stuffed me with a large pile of food.

I hurriedly thanked me, but the woman just smiled and sat down beside me.

She glanced at my belly and asked with concern, "Are you six or seven months pregnant?" ”

"Hmm." I looked at her with a smile, "You've seen it quite accurately, it's been seven months." ”

The woman nodded thoughtfully, "I guess it's about the same." I'm a nurse and I'm pregnant, but it's only four months old, so it's not obvious. ”

Hearing her say this, I noticed her slightly bulging belly under her loose clothes, and said sincerely, "That's really congratulations!" You are so beautiful, and the baby you give birth to must be very beautiful. ”

The woman's face was beaming, but when she turned to look at me, her face was a little solemn.

She asked tentatively, "Have you been to the hospital for a check-up recently?" In my experience, I'm afraid you're not in good physical condition right now......"

The woman looked at my face as she spoke, afraid that I would be displeased.

But I just smiled with relief and said calmly: "You see it right, I am indeed sick, terminal brain cancer, and the doctor said that I will live for less than two months." ”

The woman was startled, as if she didn't expect me to speak so calmly about my condition.

She frowned and looked at me with a complicated expression, "Brain cancer can actually be cured with treatment, and you would rather give up treatment for the sake of your child?" ”

"Yes." I didn't explain too much, she is also the one who is going to be a mother, and I think she can understand my feelings.

"You're really brave!" The woman looked at me in admiration and reached out to touch her lower abdomen, "If it were me, I would want to keep this child, but I would still be afraid, afraid that I would die like this." ”

"Actually, I was very scared at the beginning, but as this child slowly grew up in my belly, I became more and more active, and my heart became more and more determined."

At the mention of this child, my eyes involuntarily softened.

Actually, this kid is very sensible and doesn't bother me too much.

The woman looked at me deeply and asked, "What about the child's father?" I heard that you live here by yourself, and the child's father abandoned you and the child because you were sick? ”

"No, he's been nice to me."

When I talked about the child's father and recalled Li Yunzhou, the corners of my mouth rose slightly.

"He's a great husband and a great dad. We also have a son who has always been very patient with his children, and I am sure that he will be able to take care of them after this child is born. ”

The woman frowned, her eyes flooding with confusion, "Then he also agrees with you to give up the treatment in order to keep this child?" ”

"With his character, he wouldn't agree with my choice. He would rather give up this child than put me in danger. But you should understand that for a mother, she is willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of her children. ”

I smiled bitterly, my heart sour, "So I parted from him, and I didn't tell him about my illness." ”

The woman was startled again, then hugged me gently, "You are really a great mom!" ”

This warm gesture made me stunned for a moment, and my eyes were slightly red, and I couldn't help but be moved by her comfort.

Such a town with simple folk customs and sincere hearts will make people feel warm.

The bonfire was still dancing, and the young people dancing seemed to be tired.

I smiled at Jona, who had blended in, and was happy for her.

When I raised my eyes, I accidentally saw a child pouring water from a bottle in the dark, and then stepped on the bottle and put it into a sack in his hand.

He was dressed in shabby but clean clothes, but his eyes were shining, and he looked up with envy from time to time at the young people who were dancing.

I couldn't help but be attracted to the kid and got up and walked over to him.

Seeing me, the boy bowed politely to me, "Hello, ma'am. ”

I had an inconvenient stomach and couldn't bend down, so I could only stand straight and ask him, "How old are you?" What about your mom and dad? How could you be left alone here? ”

The little boy hung his head, pursed his lips tightly, and did not answer me.

In my confusion, the woman who was a nurse walked up to me and sighed regretfully.

His parents died in a car accident, and there was only one blind grandmother in the family who was sick with him. The primary school in our town has been merged, and the child's family conditions are not good, although he is nine years old, his grandmother cannot send him to the primary school in the city. ”

When I heard what the woman said, my heart was touched for a while, for the children of such a family, even going to school has become a luxury.

And for these people in the town, although they feel sorry for this child, after all, everyone's ability is limited, and they are afraid that if they reach out to help now, they will be entangled and unable to get rid of it.

Looking at the boy's clear and clean eyes, I suddenly saw myself in the orphanage.
