The next day.

Morning.

"Dad, are you going out to drive again?"

Nuan Nuan stood in the yard and looked at Song Ci who was about to go out.

"Yes, you accompany your grandparents at home, you must be obedient and obedient, don't be naughty." Song Ci admonished.

"Okay, you have to be obedient, don't steal the grilled sausage, you will have a stomachache if you eat too much." Nuan Nuan also told Song Ci.

"Okay."

"If you want to eat, will you wait for me to eat together?"

“…… Good. ”

That's the real purpose.

"Bye-bye, Daddy." Seeing Song Ci agree, Nuan Nuan waved her little hand, turned her head and rushed into the house.

Song: ......

At this time, Kong Yumei walked out, came to the door, and said to Song Ci: "Do you have anything to do at noon today?" ”

"Noon? It's nothing, Mom, what's the matter with you? Song Ci said suspiciously.

"I'm going out in the morning, and at half-past eleven in the afternoon, you go to the floating café near our school and wait for me."

"Okay." Song Ci didn't think much about it when he heard this, and nodded directly in agreement.

In the morning, he had to go to the children's welfare home, and there were four "people" waiting for him to help fulfill his wish.

Song Ci came to the welfare home, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning, a group of children were playing and playing in the square, Song Ci did not go in immediately, but stood outside the wall and looked inside.

Song Ci saw Xiao Ma Yuan in the crowd at a glance, she was holding the ball given to her by Song Ci, looking up at the sky, Song Ci looked up at the sky, today's weather is very good, but there are still some flocculent white clouds, changing in the air.

Is Xiao Mayuan looking at these clouds? Song Ci retracted his gaze, but found that Xiao Mayuan had already discovered her and was looking at him dumbfounded.

Song Ci waved his hand to him, Xiao Ma Yuan seemed to remember who he was, and immediately grinned and showed a bright smile, and then handed the ball in his hand forward, the meaning was obvious, play with her.

Song Ci stretched out his hand and pointed to the location of the gate, motioning for him to come in.

The little guy probably didn't understand, so he ran in the direction of the gate with the ball.

"Xiao Mayuan, where are you going......" Teacher Ding, who took care of Xiao Mayuan that day, asked.

But Xiao Mayuan didn't seem to see it, and rushed forward with the ball.

"Master Sun, I'm going to trouble you again." Song Ci greeted the security guard in the security booth.

"Nothing, no trouble." Master Sun happily opened the door for Song Ci.

I don't know if it's because of the pack of cigarettes, or because I'm already familiar with it, I didn't ask, so I opened the door and let Song Ci in.

"Thank you, Master Sun." But I still politely said thank you.

Xiao Mayuan, don't look at her small, the little short legs are quite fast, and Teacher Ding hasn't caught up with her for a while, so that she ran to Song Ci.

"Na~"

She handed the ball to Song Ci and continued to let Song Ci play with her.

This time Song Ci didn't refuse, took the ball from her hand, then slapped it on the ground, and then spun the ball on his fingertips.

The little guy, who was originally a little dumbfounded, finally had more reactions, his mouth opened slightly, his face was full of joy, and he looked at the spinning ball in Song Ci's hand blankly.

However, the clear eyes still look a little sluggish, not so smart.

"It turns out that Xiao Mayuan saw Mr. Song, and she really likes you very much." Teacher Ding walked over and took Xiao Mayuan's hand.

"I also like little Mayuan."

Song Ci touched Ma Yuan's little head and handed her back the ball in his hand.

Xiao Mayuan took it and still looked at him blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Song Ci took out a whistle in the shape of a little yellow duck from his pocket, put it to his mouth and blew it twice.

"......Shhh

The voice immediately attracted Xiao Mayuan's attention, and under her gaze, Song Ci put the whistle rope around her neck.

This is what I saw yesterday when I went to the park and bought toys for Nuan Nuan, so I specially bought one for Xiao Mayuan.

As for why she bought a whistle for Xiao Mayuan, it was probably because she felt that Xiao Mayuan had too few words and was too quiet, so she gave her a whistle and asked her to make more noise.

"Na~"

Xiao Ma Yuan raised his hands high and handed the ball to Song Ci again.

Song Ci stretched out her hand to take it, and she immediately picked up the whistle on her chest and looked at it carefully.

"Put it in your mouth and blow it." Song Ci gestured with his hand.

And then—

Xiao Mayuan directly put most of the whistle into his mouth.

"Haha, this won't work......"

Teacher Ding was amused by her movements, reached out and pulled the whistle out of her mouth, took out a tissue, wiped the saliva on it, and then put it to her mouth and taught her step by step.

"......Shhh That's how it should be. ”

Teacher Ding handed the whistle back to Xiao Mayuan.

Xiao Mayuan took it, made a strange movement, and then stuffed it into his mouth, "fu~fu~fu~"

"No, no, just gently, don't push too hard." Teacher Ding held down her little belly and guided her step by step.

Song Ci watched from the side, but showed a surprised look.

Because of the strange action that Xiao Mayuan did just now, if he remembered correctly, it was the action of Teacher Ding wiping her whistle just now, because she didn't have a tissue on her hand, so it would look a little strange.

And when she stuffed the whistle into her mouth, her movements were exactly the same as Teacher Ding's, but when she came back to whistle, her body movements were obviously a little out of sync and coordination with her thinking.

So it's possible that Xiao Mayuan is not stupid, but that his body can't keep up with his thinking.

Song Ci thought like this and shocked himself, so that day-

Song Ci looked down at the racket ball he bought for Xiao Mayuan last time.

There are three colors of the racket ball, red, yellow and blue, and the three colors are covered with polka dots.

"Mr. Song......"

At this moment, an old man stepped forward with a worried face.

Song Ci raised his head when he heard the sound and nodded to him.

One of the two old men of the six "people" that day.

In the past few days, Song Ci has helped the children find their own homes, and it has also made the remaining few people feel more hopeful and respectful.

"......Shhh

Under the teaching of Teacher Ding, the "clumsy" little Mayuan finally learned to whistle.

"Teacher Ding, you can help Xiao Mayuan hold this ball, I'll go." Song Ci handed the racket ball in his hand to Teacher Ding next to him.

"Mr. Song, thank you for the gift to Xiao Mayuan." Teacher Ding took over the fairway.

"There's nothing to thank, I like this little guy a lot." Song Ci said with a smile.

"Xiao Mayuan, uncle is leaving, thank you, uncle." Teacher Ding touched Xiao Mayuan's little head and said.

But Mado didn't react in the slightest.

"Goodbye."

Song Ci shook his hand at Xiao Mayuan, Xiao Mayuan's eyes were stunned, and there was still no reaction.

Song Ci didn't care about her anymore, turned around and walked out of the gate of the welfare home, but before he could go far, he suddenly heard a whistling sound of "woo woo ......", as if he was saying goodbye to him.

Song Ci turned around and looked behind him, and Xiao Mayuan had been pulled back by Teacher Ding.

——

"Sit down, old man."

When he came to a nearby park, Song Ci beckoned the old man to sit down and speak slowly.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Song." The old man slowly sat down under Song Ci's greeting.

The old man looked to be in his seventies, with a white beard, a thin body, dark skin, a sky-blue shirt on his upper body, washed white, sleeves rolled up above the elbow joint, and a loose straight-leg trouser underneath, and his bare skin covered with age spots.

Even the dead soul reveals a kind of old twilight.

"Mr. Song, my name is Tao Bengui, when I died, I was seventy-five, I have been in this world for four years, and I don't have much time left......"

When Tao Bengui spoke, his left hand clenched into a fist, his right palm spread out, and his palm kept rubbing against his thigh, looking very nervous.

"Old man, if you have something to say slowly, don't be nervous......"

"It's all ...... It's all my fault...... It's all my fault......"

Tao Bengui's old cheeks could not hide his sadness.

Tao Bengui is a native of Porcelain City, his family has a few acres of land, and he has two sons, the eldest son is doing mountain goods business in the town, and the younger son is working in the city.

The two sons have also become families, and although life is not very good, it is still passable.

The eldest son has two children, a son and a daughter, and the eldest son is about to graduate from college, that is, Tao Bengui's eldest grandson.

The youngest son and his brother are more than ten years apart in age, and they got married late, so the child is relatively young, and he is only ten years old this year, his nickname is Liangliang, and his big name is Tao Renliang.

And the reason why Tao Bengui stayed in the world and was reluctant to leave was related to this child.

Four years ago, Tao Renliang was on summer vacation, and the couple were too arrogant because they were busy with work and neglected to educate Tao Renliang on weekdays.

So as soon as the husband and wife put him together, they sent him to his grandfather during the summer vacation, lived a hard life in the countryside, and got rid of some of his bad problems.

Tao Bengui, who lived alone in the countryside, was naturally 10,000 willing, so he happily led the little guy into the door.

At the beginning, the grandfather and grandson had a lot of conflicts, after all, Liangliang has lived in the city since he was a child, and after returning to the countryside, he disliked Tao Rengui in various ways and looked down on him.

cried and made trouble, but Tao Rengui is also good-tempered, always looking happy, and in the end Liangliang can only slowly accept this grandfather and begin to integrate into his grandfather's life.

It was the happiest time for the grandparents and grandchildren.

Speaking of this, Tao Bengui's old cheeks seemed to be shining, "Although Liangliang has many bad habits, he is really a very well-behaved child." ”

"When I was working in the yard, he would bring a stool from the house for me to sit on......"

"The food I cook is not delicious, he doesn't like to eat it, but he is afraid that I will be sad, and he always says that it is not bad, better than his mother's cooking......"

"The weather was hot and there were many mosquitoes, so he jumped around me, saying that this would scare away mosquitoes, and mosquitoes would not bite grandpa......"

"When I get up at night to go to the bathroom, he always endures sleepiness and helps me with a flashlight, saying that this way I won't fall down......"

……

Tao Bengui's old cheeks seemed to be flashing with a glimmer, and the whole person was immersed in the beautiful memories of the past.

"Seeing that the summer vacation is coming to an end, I want to take my child to his uncle's house in the town for a few days, the village is about 20 miles away from the town, even if you take a car, you need to walk more than 10 miles to get out first.

I thought to myself, since we have walked more than ten miles, the remaining ten miles, it is better to go, and there are still two dollars left, so we went out early in the morning. ”

"At the beginning, Liangliang was quite happy, but after all, he was still a six-year-old child, and gradually he was tired of walking, and he was tired of people, so he lost interest."

"But he was already great, he was halfway there, and when he came to the highway, I saw that he couldn't walk, and I thought about stopping a car and taking the car to town......"

"I thought we were lucky, and I thought to myself, a car that collected mountain goods stopped in front of our eyes......"

"They took the bright ......"

Tao Bengui seemed to have been drained of all his strength.

Song Ci remembered Ma Jiayuan's son Ma Guangyu, who seemed to have been abducted by a group of people who collected mountain goods, and it seemed that they were the same group.

The grandson was lost, Tao Bengui was full of guilt and remorse, he felt sorry for his son and daughter-in-law, and he was full of worries about the bright future, so one night half a month later, Tao Bengui, who couldn't think of it, drank a bottle of pesticide and died......

But after his death, Tao Bengui did not let go of his worries about his grandson, and he found that it was much more convenient in a treacherous state, so in the past few years, he has been looking for Liangliang all over the world, and the emperor has lived up to his wishes, but he didn't expect to be really found by him.

"It's good that someone finds it." Song Ci comforted.

"But...... The good boy is already dumb......"

Tao Bengui held his head, hunched over, the pain was unbearable, and silent tears fell to the ground, turning into wisps of smoke and dust......
