Chapter 20: The Past That Exists in the Heart
"My mother!" Ah Qiao looked at the wooden slats on the wooden bed of his brother on the upper bunk, and his thoughts began to fly.
She once loved two books - "My Mother" and "My Dad". She remembers every line and picture of these two books clearly.
The mother in the book is wearing a red hood of flowers and plants, a sky blue striped crewneck shirt inside, not very curly hair, holding a white teacup with a red heart in her hand, sitting at the table, her eyes are full of love, looking at the person outside the book.
My mom was great –
My mom is a great chef.
He's a fantastic painter,
He's a magical gardener,
Also a kind-hearted fairy, when I'm sad, always makes me very happy.
My mom was as beautiful as a butterfly and as comfortable as a couch.
My mom is as gentle as a cat, and sometimes as tough as a rhinoceros.
……
Ah Qiao turned over, hugged her little floral pillow, and smiled sweetly in the night. Since my grandmother came home from the hospital and went to bed at night, they no longer kept the lights on all night.
Mom is such a mother. So, what about Dad?
Ah, my dad—
My dad wasn't afraid of anything, not even the bad guy big wolf.
He can jump over the moon and walk on high ropes,
He dared to wrestle with Hercules, and in the sports competition, he easily ran first place!
My dad eats as much as a hippopotamus,
Strong as a gorilla and happy as a hippopotamus!
I love my mom and dad,
And, you know what?
They love me too!
In this way, Ah Qiao took his imagination and coaxed himself to sleep.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning.
The magician's voice sounded faintly in his ears, and as soon as Ah Qiao kicked his legs, the person sat up.
"Brother! Brother! The next day arrived! ”
The elder brother poked his head out of the door frame: "Sister! Younger sister! You're awake! ”
Magician, no, writer, no, no, Uncle Cui, he carried a huge bag on his back, carried the duffel bag that his grandmother had prepared for the two little cuties in both hands, and showed a big smile behind his brother: "Okay, you have some breakfast, and we can go!" ”
Ah Qiao didn't have any thoughts about eating breakfast, she jumped up from the bed, washed her face indiscriminately, took the eggs that her brother peeled, and stuffed them into her mouth.
Grandma was so anxious that she hurriedly poured water. Choking on the egg yolk is not a joke!
It's only five minutes before getting up, and Ah Qiao claims to have done everything and can go.
Uncle Cui smiled and took the two children on a farm diesel tricycle.
The tricycle sped on the flat mountain road, flying out of the village, and the mountain village became smaller and smaller in the field of vision, and the corners of Ah Qiao's mouth suddenly drooped.
It suddenly occurred to her that she was so elated that she couldn't wait to embark on the journey, and she didn't say goodbye to her grandmother.
And Sister Duoduo!
She clearly swept the cat with a fat round body under the low fence, she knew that it was Sister Duoduo, but she didn't look back and waved at her.
Ah Qiao turned his head to look at his brother, and there were already two lines of tears on his brother's face.
"Don't worry!" Uncle Cui will be mistaken, "I will take care of you two all the way, and I will definitely deliver you to your parents safely!" ”
The siblings looked at each other, and only they knew why they had become depressed.
It's fascinating to be around mom and dad, but it's so sad to be away from home.
However, a child is a child, and curiosity is great. After changing to the bus from the township to the county seat, the two children were quickly attracted by the scenery along the road and had no time to be sad.
Especially when it is getting closer and closer to the county seat, there are more shops along the road, more pedestrians, more cars, pedestrians are dressed fancy, and traffic lights have become a scenery in the eyes of children.
Their little eyes were too busy looking around to care.
On the bus with two positions side by side, Cui Peiya sat outside, leaving a place and a half inside for the little brother and sister. He held the railing in his hand and encircled the little brother and sister in his sphere of influence.
The crowding in the carriage has nothing to do with the little brother and sister.
The little brother and sister chattered, happily and cheerfully, saying one after another, "Look, look." ”
Cui Peiya's gaze became distant.
More than ten years ago, his parents resolutely took their sister, brother, and brother to leave their homeland and rushed to Yunhai City in one go.
After getting off the train at Yunhaicheng Railway Station, the money in the pockets of the five people was only three or two hundred yuan. Everyone was sad, only he was happy. He is the youngest, only 6 years old, the same age as Ah Qiao.
At that time, the reinforced concrete forest of Yunhai City was like a huge paradise for Cui Peiya.
In order to make a living, my father soon entered the construction site and worked as a construction worker; My mother followed her into the construction site and cooked for the workers. My 16-year-old sister entered the restaurant and wiped the table and washed the dishes; The 12-year-old brother takes care of the 6-year-old him.
In this way, relying on the construction site, they settled in Yunhai City.
The high-rise buildings in Yunhai City are built very quickly, and a skyscraper often only takes a year or two to build.
A year later, the building was completed, with the help of my parents.
They moved with the other construction workers to the next construction site.
Luckily, at the next construction site, he actually entered elementary school. And the tuition and miscellaneous fees are all free, and there are books and books. In view of his family's poverty, the school reduced all his meal fees.
He sat in a brightly lit classroom and read with the children in the city. Mandarin is spoken. His eyes often filled with tears. He felt sorry for his brother! If only my brother could sit in the classroom with him.
Two years later, another building was completed.
My 19-year-old sister is married and is a small contractor on the construction site. The brother-in-law is a little ugly and has a big temper, but he takes care of their family.
Instead of moving with the construction team or living in a modest site dormitory, they rented a suite and walked upstairs and downstairs like city dwellers.
At the age of 16, my brother became an apprentice in a car detailing shop.
Seeing that the family's life was getting better and better, his father had an unexpected car accident.
My father worked part-time as a courier in between entering the new construction site. However, he himself was afraid of the busy traffic in Yunhai City from the bottom of his bones.
He will never be able to confess to anyone, and it is precisely because he wants a remote-controlled aircraft that his father decides to work as a courier for a while to earn more money.
When my father was pronounced dead by the hospital, he was shaking like a leaf on an autumn branch.
After his father's death, he seemed to have opened up a new way of sensing the world, and he became extremely acute. His grades skyrocketed, his words became less and less, and he began to write on paper instead.
