Next Chapter

On June 1, 1993, in the morning, the small alley street was full of people and busy people.

There is an aunt who sells pancakes, a little dark may be a thin and kind-looking aunt who has been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time, she is Liu Feng, and several people in front of her car are waiting for delicious pancakes.

Here, an uncle has a scar on his chubby face, looks fierce, but he smiles every day, giving people the feeling of getting along well, his name is Zhao Gang, he carried half a pig on the board and began to sell meat.

A big sister in a red dress in a barbershop is sexy and bewitching, this is Bai Mei (I always call her a hundred fans) blowing her hair.

Here, one of our largest stores, "cooperative", two slightly older uncles and aunts, uncles have a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows, his name is Tang Guo, aunts have a ruddy round face, a little fat, her name is Liu Xia, the two are busy in the store to get things for customers (this era has been individual, but it is still called "cooperative", now called a small supermarket, daily necessities have everything).

Opposite is a small noodle restaurant, a very simple and clean dress, delicate facial features are just right, the skin is very thin, as if you can squeeze out the water at a touch, a pair of big eyes with a ponytail, giving people a very high-end and cannibalistic sense of closeness, her name is Zhang Jing (I always call her Sister Jingjing). I just washed my face and didn't dry it, there were still water droplets on my hair, the sun was shining on my face, like a fairy, and her simple clothes couldn't hide her beauty, and she was generous, and she dismantled the door panel.

It's already hot in June, and the weather is very good today, everyone is happy, although they are not rich, they are very happy, and they are working hard for life!

This best house is a courtyard house, this house has a tall gate with red red, and many places are built with stones, and the stone is carved with patterns to look simple and atmospheric. The pillars and beams are all made of wood, using mortise and tenon technology, and the window furniture is very delicately made, and there are patterns carved on it. Inside, a seventeen-year-old man opened the door and stretched. This boy is not tall or short, he is not very handsome or ugly, he is 1.76 meters tall, thin and thin, wearing a white vest and black pants, a round face, a shaved head, and wheat-colored skin is very sunny. This is me, my name is Li 12 (because the playing cards are Q, all of them call me Little Q.) Xiao Q came to the courtyard to wash his face, wiped his face casually, and walked out of the house.

"Good morning, Aunt Liu"

Aunt Liu: "Good morning, Xiao Q, can you spread a pancake and two eggs for you?" ”

Little Q: "Auntie, thank you, no need." ”

Aunt Liu: "Thank you, just give you Aunt Liu a few minutes of politeness." ”

Xiao Q: "Auntie, I'm not polite to you, I'll go to Sister Jingjing's to eat noodles." ”

Aunt Liu: "Okay, go to your sister Jingjing's to eat noodles, Xiaofeng, if you have any difficulties in the future, tell Aunt Liu." ”

Q: "Thank you! ”

Aunt Liu: "Thank you, thank you, tell your aunt if you have something, don't carry the child by yourself." ”

Xiao Q bowed to Aunt Liu: "Thank you!" ”

Aunt Liu's eyes turned red instantly: "Look what you are doing with this kid." ”

Xiao Q smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm leaving, auntie." ”

Aunt Liu: "Eh, yes"

"Uncle Zhao is good, the big beauty of the hundred people is good!"

Uncle Zhao: "Good morning, Little Q"

Hundreds of fans: "Yo, our little handsome guy got up so early today?" ”

Xiao Q smiled and said, "No matter how early it is, it's not as early as a hundred fans." ”

Hundreds of fans pretended to be angry and stretched out their hands to beat: "You little villain is here to tease my sister." ”

Little Q hurriedly dodged.

Uncle Zhao laughed: "The little villain is back again, little Q, I will come to Uncle Zhao for something in the future." ”

Xiao Q: "Uncle Le, I'm leaving." "Ran away....

Hundreds of fans: "Don't run, little villain, it's okay to come here if you have something." ”

Little Q: "Good Le 100 Fans"

Hundreds of fans: "The little villain runs so fast......"

The two members of the cooperative saw off the guests at the door and saw Xiao Feng running over: "Why is Xiao Q running so fast?" ”

Xiao Q stopped and said with a smile: "Uncle Tang is good, Aunt Liu is good, I'm afraid that hundreds of fans will beat me." ”

Uncle Tang smiled and said, "You must have teased your Sister Bai again." ”

Little Q scratched his head and smiled.

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Xiao Q came to the store to see what was missing at home." ”

Xiao Q: "Auntie, I don't lack anything at home, thank you, Auntie." ”

Uncle Tang: "Oh don't take it for free, don't take it for nothing." ”

Xiao Q smiled and said, "Thank you, auntie, I have it all at home"

Aunt Liu: "Okay, then come and get it directly if you don't have anything in the future." ”

Xiao Q: "Aunt Haole, I'm leaving." ”

Aunt Liu: "Eh"

Aunt Liu said to her husband: "This child's life is miserable! ”

Uncle Tang: "Yes! Let's take care of it more in the future and go inside. ”

Q is really happy today! 3 months ago......

It was just dark, the courtyard was lit up, and from the sky, this courtyard was like a fairy mansion without losing warmth, this is home. There is a picture of mountains and rivers on the wall opposite the door in the living room of the main house. On the left hand side is an antique bed in the bedroom, and on the head of the bed is a couple of men and women who are married. Next to the bed is a dresser and a set of cabinets. On the right hand side of the main entrance is the living room, where the refrigerator and TV are placed, and the antique furniture is all mortise and tenon structure.

A man with a round face, thick eyebrows, bright eyes, short eyes, and very capable hair sat at a desk and drew sketches, and the man was a famous architect, and then modified the drawings he designed. He is Li Jian, Xiao Q's father. Now we will do the restoration of ancient buildings in Shanghai.

The west wing is the kitchen, the woman is wearing a white pants on the bottom, a white shirt on the upper body, and a pink coat on the outside, wrapped in an apron, which can't stop her tall figure. White skin, red lips, a pair of peach blossom eyes, a thin smile, very beautiful, standing in front of the stove with hair draped and cooking. She is Xiao Q's mother Zhao Min. Zhao Min is an engineer and Li Jian are both doing restoration work on ancient buildings in Shanghai.

In the past, when Xiao Q was young, they went directly to the local project, never went out, even if they worked locally, Zhao Min and Li Jian took turns to take care of their son.

Since last year, when Q was 16 years old, when the family was eating, the phone rang...

Li Jian: "I'm going to answer the phone" "Hey? Eh grandson, what are you talking about? Lao Sun: "Lao Li, no one can do a job on my side, I have to ask you to come, you have to help." Li Jian: "Lao Sun is polite, if you have something, you can say it, I will help if I can." Lao Sun: "I now have an ancient building to be restored here in Xi'an, but no one can do it here, mainly because the structure is too old and complex and there are signs of collapse and no one dares to move, I am in a hurry, I know you two don't go out to work, but I can't help it, I only have to find you and Engineer Zhao, you two are the best designers and engineers I have ever seen!" Li Jian: "Uh.. I understand, that's it, old grandson, I'll discuss it with Min'er and give you an answer, okay? Lao Sun: "Okay, old Li, you discuss with Engineer Zhao, I'll wait for your call" Li Jian: "Okay.. hanging...."

Xiao Q looked at his father and then at his mother, looked at them with embarrassment on their faces and said, "Mom and Dad, if you want to work in a farther place, go there, I can take care of myself when I grow up." ”

Zhao Min: "You are still a little parent, you don't worry about you, how do you wash your clothes when you eat, what should you do if you get sick?" ”

Xiao Q: "Mom, I'm an adult, I'm 16 years old, I have the ability to take care of myself, when I'm hungry, I can go to Sister Jingjing's to eat noodles, or I can go to Aunt Liu'er to buy pancakes to eat, I will learn clothes in two days, and when I'm sick, I'll find Uncle Zhao and be seen by me." Don't worry, I'm a man now! ”

Zhao Min smiled.

Li Jian said to Zhao Min: "The child is indeed not small, and it is time for him to be independent, so let's pick up some not too far first, during which the two of us will come back a few more times, try it first, and also exercise Xiao Q, let him live independently, we can't follow him for the rest of our lives, do you say?" ”

Zhao Min: "I understand the reason, it's too young, and we're both not here at all, I'm not worried!" ”

Li Jian: "I know you're not at ease, and I'm not at ease. But there's always a beginning, right? Besides, Sister Liu Xia, the eldest brother of Tang Guo in the cooperative, Bai Mei from the barber shop, Zhao Gang's brother who sells pork, Sister Liu Feng who sells pancakes, and Jingjing from the noodle shop are all very good, and they usually take care of us. ”

Zhao Min: "Hey, that's okay!" Try it first, and I'll go with you another day to talk to everyone. ”

Li Jian: "Let's take a good piece"

In this way, Li Jian and Zhao Min began to work outside, and Xiao Q also began his independent life. At first, they came back to see their children every week or two, and slowly Little Q also learned to live independently, and they were relieved to see that their children could live independently. Slowly, they came back once a month, and only once every two months, three months, and this time every six months. Xiao Q slowly got used to it, and every day when he went to school and got hungry, he went to Jingjing Noodle Restaurant to eat, and he went to Jingjing when he was sick. To say that Jingjing is really good to Xiao Q, she almost wants to kiss her sister and is obedient to Xiao Q.

The project was in the late stages of completion, so they were relieved to take two days off to go home together to see their son.

Karma.... The door opened. Zhao Min heard the sound of the door opening and hurriedly ran out, and at the same time Li Jian also walked out.

Little Q just opened the door and entered the house when he got home from school, and saw his parents standing at the door at the same time. His face instantly opened and he smiled and said, "Mom, Dad, you're back?" ”

Zhao Min ran over and hugged his son and said gently, "Little Q, does you miss your mother?" ”

Xiao Q happily said, "Yes!" ”

Zhao Min: "I'm sorry! This time is special, that's why Mom and Dad only came back to see you for so long. ”

Little Q: "Mom, I understand!" Needless to say, I'm sorry. ”

Li Jian: "My son hasn't grown tall and strong after half a year"

Xiao Q smiled proudly and said, "I'm as tall and strong as my dad now!" ”

Zhao Min smiled and said, "You two will talk in the first room, and the meal will be ready immediately, and the meal will start in a while." Zhao Min ran into the kitchen to make food for his son.

Li Jian put his hand on his son's shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's go into the house and talk."

Xiao Q said happily: "Okay" They haven't seen each other for half a year, they miss each other very much, they are very happy, hugging each other and walking into the house side by side.

The sky is dark, and the lights in the courtyard look so warm. In the rough sea, the ship saw the lighthouse on the shore, and continued to move towards the lighthouse, and finally came to the shelter, and everyone was cheering, some singing, some roaring, "We are safe!" Others hugged each other and comforted each other, "We have landed!" "Home is everyone's safe haven, only when you get home can you let go of everything, sleep easily and sleep with a smile!!

On the table, the Yellow River carp, screaming scrambled eggs, cold salad (a local green dish in Henan, but now there is no such thing), fried cold noodles (mung beans, a local delicacy in a small county town in Henan, are made of similar cold noodles from other regions, but the raw materials are different) and corn porridge.

Little Q smiled and said, "Wow.. What I made today is what I love."

Zhao Min gave everything a little and smiled and said, "Little Q eat more"

Xiao Q picked up the chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth and said happily: "Well, I haven't eaten my mother's cooking for a long time, I want to eat more today." ”

Zhao Min's eyes instantly turned red.

Xiao Q, who had stuffed a mouthful, hurriedly took his mother's hand and gently rubbed it and said, "It's still the rice made by my mother, but it's worse than Sister Jingjing." ”

Zhao Min smiled and said, "You little villain"

Li Jian lined up Zhao Min's shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, our project has come to an end, and when it is completed, we will not go far away, just find some work in our hometown." ”

Xiao Q hurriedly said happily: "Really? Mom and Dad won't you go out when you're done? ”

Zhao Min smiled and said, "Hmm! Don't go, although you live a good independent life on your own, but Mom and Dad still can't let you go, I miss you very much! You are the most important thing to us! (For more than a year, although the two of them have been happy to live their dreams to the fullest, they still feel empty and nagging when their children are not with them.) Especially at night, they often suffer from insomnia because they want their children to be sad and sad. )

At this moment, Xiao Q, your heart is really happy, although you have friends for more than a year, there are uncles, aunts, aunts and sisters, but Xiao Q still feels very lonely when her parents are not around. At this moment, Xiao Q is really happy, and it's really good to have his parents here!

Li Jian said with a smile: "Did Xiao Q's parents be naughty during this time?" ”

Xiao Q was embarrassed: "I don't have it!" I'm so good dad! ”

Zhao Min smiled evilly and said, "Are you good? Who in our alley doesn't know your little Q, a well-known little villain. Thank God you didn't go to the scourge! ”

Little Q scratched his head embarrassedly.

The family talked a lot that night, and the family ate happily until late at night.

At night, Li Jian and his wife slept very steadily, at home, and they had the peace of mind to see their children!

Little Q was laughing when he fell asleep......

It rained in the morning, and the rain left along Wali to form a water curtain, and the unique shape of the courtyard house and the water curtain formed a beautiful picture. As if entering the world of water, people's hearts are ethereal, and the whole world is pure, and there are no good impurities......

In the living room, Li Jian drank tea and enjoyed the beautiful scenery, and Zhao Min was busy with breakfast in the kitchen. This is Xiao Q, who was in the east wing, was woken up by the sound of rain and stretched out. Walking out of the door and seeing this landscape, I was instantly happy, coupled with the return of my parents, Xiao Q felt really happy!

Little Q walked down the corridor to the living room and saw his father drinking tea and enjoying the rain outside.

Li Jian smiled and said, "Awake? Come sit down and drink some tea, your mother will cook, it will be fine in a while" Li Jian brought the child a cup of tea.

Q: "Okay! ”

Sitting quietly next to my father, the two of them didn't say a word and looked at the rain outside....

"Yo, you two are quite comfortable, aren't you? Li Jian went to the kitchen to help with things," Zhao Min entered the living room with the meal.

Li Jian smiled: "Okay, where am I going" quickly got up and ran out.

Xiao Q stood up and smiled and said, "I'll help too."

Zhao Min: "Your dad can go alone, you come to eat, your mother made your favorite noodles today." (Henan snack batter stall, dipped in garlic juice to eat)

Xiao Q happily ran over and took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth: "It's delicious!" ”

Zhao Min gently slapped Xiao Q on the shoulder: "Wash your hands."

Xiao Q smiled embarrassedly: "Obey!" ”

The family was happily eating breakfast, talking and laughing...

"Mom, I'm going to school," Xiao Q finished drinking the porridge in the bowl

Zhao Min: "Xiao Q put on a raincoat, don't catch a cold when it's so big outside." ”

Li Jian took the raincoat and put it on Xiao Q: "Yes! Stay safe! ”

Q: "Okay, I see!" Gone Mom and Dad. ”

"Pay attention to safety" The two watched their son run out...

Zhao Min cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and the two sat on the sofa and hugged each other quietly.... It's almost noon.

Jingle Bell Jingle .....

Well? Zhao Min looked up at the phone, "I'll answer it!" ”

"What's wrong, grandson? What? Typhoon? Okay, I got it. ”

"What's wrong?" Li Jian asked.

"Shanghai is now a very typhoon, and Lao Sun said that we don't know if the old buildings we have repaired can survive it, so let's go back quickly." Zhao Min said worriedly.

Li Jian: "Then we'll leave in the afternoon"

Zhao Min: "Okay, I'm sorry for Xiao Q." We had to go as soon as we returned, alas! ”

Li Jian: "The situation is special! Xiao Q is sensible, just make it clear to him. ”

Zhao Min: "That's the only way to do it......"

At noon, "Mom, I'm back," Xiao Q said loudly as soon as he entered the door.

Zhao Min smiled and said, "Coming back?" Come into the house for dinner, Mom makes a lot of your favorite food. ”

"Okay, Mom, I'll wash my hands first" Xiao Q ran to the water tank.

After washing his hands, Xiao Q entered the house, looked at the dishes on the table, and said with a smile: "Wow! It's all my favorite food, thank you Mom! ”

"Sit down" Zhao Min fried Xiao Q: "Is it delicious?" ”

"Delicious!" Xiao Q said while pulling the rice.

"Little Q's mother will tell you something," Zhao Min said worriedly.

Xiao Q muttered: "You said Mom"

"When Xiao Q was almost noon, your uncle Sun called. Said that there is a big typhoon in Shanghai now, and the ancient buildings that we are about to finish may collapse again at any time, so your father and I have to leave in the afternoon, sorry little Q! Zhao Min said guiltily.

Xiao Q was instantly unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it. smiled and said, "Mom, I understand, it's okay!" But now that the typhoon is so big, you are very dangerous now! ”

Li Jian: "Don't worry! Your mom and I will be the main thing, don't worry! ”

Xiao Q smiled and said, "Okay, you must pay attention to safety." ”

Zhao Min smiled and said, "Don't worry! Thank you son for your understanding! ”

In the afternoon, Li Jian and Zhao Min left, and Xiao Q still went to and from school as usual..... Three days later...

"Eldest sister asks, where is Xiao Q's house?" Lao Sun asked Liu Feng anxiously.

Liu Feng: "Go forward, which courtyard is it." ”

"Okay big sister, thank you!" Lao Sun ran quickly.

"Is Q here?" Lao Sun pushed open the door and shouted.

Little Q ran out of the room: "Where are you?" ”

Lao Sun: "I am your Uncle Sun"

Little Q: "Ah, Uncle Sun." What are you doing here? ”

Lao Sun held Xiao Q's shoulders with both hands, frowned, and said worriedly: "Xiao Q had a typhoon the day before yesterday, and your parents fell a few pillars and hit your parents in order to reinforce the ancient buildings they repaired. Your parents... Your mom and dad.."

"What's wrong with my parents, what's wrong with my parents?" Little Q said anxiously and loudly.

"Your parents. Your parents were stoned to death! Hey..."Lao Sun cried.

Syllable... As if he was struck by lightning, Xiao Q collapsed directly to the ground. Xiao Q's whole person was stupid, his eyes were dull, his heart seemed to be pierced by ten thousand arrows, and his whole body was trembling. At this moment, Xiao Q is in despair, he will have no parents in the future, he will never see them again, his home is gone, and his world has collapsed at this moment! ....
