Chapter 2 Reconciliation
As the night deepens, the sound of cicadas and frogs is intertwined, one after another, and the countryside on a summer night is never short of hustle and bustle, but there is a bit of tranquility in this hustle and bustle, which is completely different from the bustling city.
The room was like a bean, Song Yunping stood by the bed, and Song's father's breathing on the bed had gradually stabilized, but his face was still a little pale and haggard.
"Mom, go to sleep, I'll just keep watch."
Mother's eyes were swollen from crying, although after Wang Chong's treatment, Song's father's condition had stabilized, but Song's mother was still relieved and didn't want to sleep.
"I'll just keep watch, you go to sleep first!" Mother Song shook her head and said with concern.
Where can Song Yunping sleep, because of his own composition and college quotas, his younger brother Song Yunhui just had a big quarrel with his father, and blamed his father for all this.
For many years, my father has always had a pimple in his heart because of the problem of family composition, and he felt sorry for Song Yunping and Song Yunhui's sister and brother, and felt guilty, and he had been pressing a big stone in his heart.
"I'll sit down a little longer, is there any news from Xiaozhong?" Mother Song grabbed her daughter's hand and asked with concern.
Although the old man fainted because of his son, but in the end it was the meat that fell from his body, and now that his wife has also woken up, Song's mother's anger in her heart has almost disappeared, thinking of the hardships that a pair of children have endured for so many years, the cold eyes and ridicule they have suffered, and the blame for her son has also become distressed.
Song Yunping shook her head and said, "Not yet." ”
"There's still some rice in the rice tank, you go and make some porridge, it's a big night, people help us look for Xiaohui everywhere, we can't do without a little expression."
"Xiaohui didn't eat much just now, the porridge is boiled, and when he comes back, he can have a warm stomach."
The night is getting deeper, the bright moon like a jade plate hangs far above the sky, the stars are hidden, and the silver yarn is sprinkled between the mountains and rivers like a light veil.
The members of the mountainback brigade formed a team in twos and threes, holding flashlights and torches, scattered within a radius of several miles from the small mountain village, searching inch by inch, but they could not find any trace of Song Yunhui in the entire mountainback village.
Under the moonlight, beside the mountain road, Song Yunhui squatted on the ground, his head buried between his legs, no matter how precocious he was, in the final analysis, he was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, after all, he lacked the steadiness and thoughtfulness of an adult.
Song Yunhui was in a very bad mood, in fact, he didn't hate his father much, he also understood the bitterness in his father's heart, the differential treatment over the years, the discriminatory eyes, and the cynical words, Song Yunhui also understood his father's difficulties.
It's just that this time, the resentment accumulated over the years was triggered, the inner balance was broken, and all the anger, unwillingness, resentment, and injustice were vented countless times, Song Yunhui could only dare to blame his father, and also blame himself.
"Haven't figured it out yet?"
In fact, when he just ran out of the house, Song Yunhui regretted it a little, but compared to that remorse, his sister Song Yunping took the initiative to give up, and giving up the place to go to college to herself made Song Yunhui even more unable to let go.
But suddenly, the sound behind him really startled Song Yunhui.
Subconsciously stood upright, turned around vigilantly to look behind him, and saw a tall and muscular figure approaching in the hazy moonlight after the light of the yellow flashlight.
"Brother Wang Chong?" Song Yunhui subconsciously shouted.
The light of the flashlight was a little strong, so that Song Yunhui couldn't see the faces of the visitors clearly for a while, but just looking at the figure, Song Yunhui could probably guess it.
"It's me!"
Wang Zhong turned off the flashlight and came to Song Yunhui's side.
"Why did you get here?"
Seeing that the person who came was really Wang Chong, Song Yunhui's hanging heart also fell to the ground and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's quiet here." Song Yunhui said.
Wang Chongdao: "Not long after you left, your father fainted, fortunately your mother and your sister found out in time, otherwise it would ······."
Before Wang Zhong finished speaking, Song Yunhui suddenly exploded, and said excitedly: "My dad fainted? ”
"Don't worry, people have woken up, but they are still very weak and need to recuperate." Wang Chongyi grabbed Song Yunhui, who wanted to run back, "It's dark and the road is not easy to walk, slow down, don't let anything happen to you on the road, let your parents and your sister worry." ”
Originally, Song Yunhui was still a little anxious, but when he heard Wang Chong say this, he calmed down instantly.
After taking a few deep breaths and calming down his emotions, Song Yunhui said to Wang Chong: "Brother Wang Chong, thank you!" ”
Only then did Wang Chong turn on the flashlight and lead Song Yunhui all the way towards the mountainback brigade.
"Sister!"
Looking at his sister who was anxiously pacing back and forth outside the door, Song Yunhui almost didn't hold back.
"Xiaohui!"
Seeing her younger brother, Song Yunping's eyes lit up, and there was an instant smile on her face.
"You're back, where did you go this night, do you know, my parents and I are worried about you." Song Yunping grabbed her brother's hand and said excitedly.
Looking at the concern in his sister's eyes, Song Yunhui only felt more and more guilty: "Sister! I'm sorry I ······."
"Alright, alright!"
Song Yunping hurriedly said: "Go in and see Dad!" ”
"How's Dad doing now?" Song Yunhui hurriedly asked, his face full of nervousness.
Song Yunping said: "I just woke up again, and my complexion has improved a lot." ”
Song Yunhui nodded and was about to enter the house, but was pulled by Song Yunping.
"Xiaohui."
Song Yunping looked at Song Yunhui's eyes with a bit of pleading in her eyes.
"You go in and talk to Dad, don't be the same as just now."
Song Yunhui said: "Sister, don't worry, I was too excited just now, I was wrong, I won't do it again." ”
Song Yunping saw Song Yunhui's solemn expression, with a little remorse in his eyes, and he also knew what kind of character his younger brother was, so he stopped stopping and let go of the hand holding Song Yunhui.
At this time, Song Yunping saw Wang Zhong standing outside the door.
"Brother Wang Chong, thank you for helping me get Xiaohui back." Song Yunping did not rush to follow up, but thanked Wang Chong.
Wang Chongdao: "They are all neighbors, what are you doing outside, your family has helped me a lot over the years." ”
Song Yunping said: "I cooked porridge, Brother Wang Chong, you have been busy all night, you must be hungry, let's drink some first when you enter the house!" ”
"Cooked porridge? That's right, I've been hungry for a while. With that, Wang Chong crossed the courtyard gate and entered the Song family.
Song Yunping hurriedly served a bowl of porridge to Wang Chong, and hurriedly ran out to inform the other villagers who were helping to find Song Yunhui together, invited people home, and sent a bowl of steaming gruel to one person, although the porridge was not thick, but it was a heart, and the villagers didn't feel that the Song family was slamming the door, after all, in these years, every family is not having a good time, just such a pot of gruel, that is the rations of the old Song family for several days.
After drinking the porridge, the villagers dispersed one after another, and Wang Chong also returned home.
Early the next morning, Wang Chong came to the door to re-examine Song's father, who was already much better, and his face was rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye.
