Chapter 90: Distressed
Xu Tingyan really couldn't believe Mo Qing's words, "Are you really the computer you came into contact with after coming to Jinping?" ”
Mo Qing nodded, "My family is from the countryside, I studied in the town in junior high school, and I went to the county No. 1 middle school in high school, so I didn't have any contact with computers at all." What's more, my family is very poor, and I can't even eat enough, where can I have the money to buy a computer. I don't even have the money to buy computer books. ”
Xu Tingyan listened to Mo Qing's words and knew that the little girl's life must have been very poor before, and his heart was also sour, "Then there must be a lot of children in your family, right?" It's not bad that your parents can provide for you to go to school. ”
Many families in rural areas are experiencing financial difficulties because of the large number of children. Xu Tingyan felt that Mo Qing's family must be the same. Moreover, the preference for sons over daughters in rural areas is very serious, and there are very few girls who can go to school. It is indeed rare for Mo Qing's parents to be able to provide Mo Qing with a girl to go to school.
Jiang Jingyuan's heart tightened when he heard Xu Tingyan say this, and he immediately looked at Mo Qing.
Xu Tingyan was also stunned when he saw Jiang Jingyuan's somewhat nervous expression, "What, did I say the wrong thing?" ”
Jiang Jingyuan didn't wait for Mo Qing to answer, and first said: "Second Uncle Xu, Mo Qing has no parents since she was a child, she was raised by her grandmother. My grandmother also passed away a few months ago. Now only Mo Qing is left in the family. That's why she wants to make money, because she has to support herself. ”
Xu Tingyan was shocked when he heard this, Mo Qing's state didn't look like an orphan at all, he began to think that Mo Qing would have a happy family, and he grew up under the care of his parents, so he was so confident.
But I didn't expect her life to be so miserable, she had no parents since she was a child, and she didn't experience the love of her parents. Thinking that Mo Qing has been an orphan since she was a child, Xu Tingyan felt a little sorry for this little girl.
He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this. ”
Mo Qing was very calm, "Actually, it's nothing, I've long been used to it." Now I don't feel sad when people talk about my parents, because I've never met them, and I don't have any impression of them and I don't have any feelings.
Although I would envy other children for having parents when I was a child, when I grew up and became sensible, I knew that those were all vain, and it was useless to think more, but it would bring negative emotions to myself. So I never thought about them afterwards. I could have lived better without them.
It's just a pity that my grandmother left too early, and I haven't had time to be filial to her. That's my only regret. ”
I don't know why I remembered the old man Mo Qing in the memory of the original owner, and his eyes and nose were a little sour. Maybe it's influenced by the memories of the original owner.
Jiang Jingyuan saw a trace of tears in Mo Qing's eyes, knowing that she was still sad.
He quickly diverted the topic, "Second Uncle Xu, Mo Qing is the top student in this year's college entrance examination, she only deducted two points for Chinese in the college entrance examination, and all other subjects are full marks, so you have to believe in Mo Qing's learning ability." ”
Xu Tingyan couldn't see Jiang Jingyuan's meaning when he lived to this age, and he also changed the topic and talked about Jinping's side, trying not to touch Mo Qing's previous life, lest she be sad and sad.
Soon the meal came up, and after eating the delicious food, Mo Qing's mood was much better.
Xu Tingyan also beckoned Mo Qing to eat more vegetables.
Mo Qing said: "Uncle Xu, I have a lot of food, so I will say hello to you in advance, so don't be surprised that I will eat a lot later." ”
Xu Tingyan felt that Mo Qing was really a hearty girl, and said with a smile: "Eat as much as you want, it's not enough for us to order more." Otherwise, I'll order a few more. ”
Mo Qing hurriedly stopped, "This time it's enough to eat, any more will be wasted." I don't want to waste food. ”
Jiang Jingyuan also said: "Second Uncle Xu, just listen to Mo Qing." Mo Qing would never waste food. ”
Xu Tingyan nodded and beckoned Mo Qing to eat more vegetables.
The guests enjoyed the meal, and all the food on the table was eaten. Xu Tingyan also saw Mo Qing's amount of food, which was better than a big man. But this made Xu Tingyan's heart even more sour. He felt that Mo Qing must have been hungry when he was a child, and he was afraid of hunger.
When he went back, Jiang Jingyuan sent Mo Qing back to school first, and then sent Xu Tingyan home.
On the way home, there was no Mo Qing in the car, and Xu Tingyan asked, "Jingyuan, was Mo Qing's previous life very hard?" ”
Jiang Jingyuan was silent for a while and said, "It's very bitter. I went to her house, and her family was very poor, with only three adobe houses that were about to collapse, and there was not even a single decent piece of furniture in the house.
The first time I met Mo Qing was one night. That day, I had dinner late with my client, and I drove back to the hotel alone, and I saw a little girl walking alone on the road halfway through. That is Mo Qing
I was afraid that she would be in danger outside late at night, so I followed her all the way, and then she came to me and said that she wanted to ask me for help. She held a missing person notice and said that she had found the dens of human traffickers and wanted to explore the truth, and she wanted to find the child on the missing person notice to earn a reward.
She said she had no money to eat, and she had to find a way to make money, even if it was dangerous. Then we went to visit the trafficker's den together, and cooperated with the police to rescue many trafficked children. She also received an honorarium for this.
That's when we got to know each other. Later, I learned that Mo Qing's grandmother had just passed away at that time, and there was no one to send her to school anymore, and she had no money. She has to go to school, and she doesn't have time to earn a little bit of money. That's why they will find ways to make money regardless of the danger.
It was really not easy for the little girl, and I also sympathized with her, so I gave some help later. ”
Xu Tingyan listened to Jiang Jingyuan's narration, his throat was a little blocked, he thought that a little girl who had no parents since she was a child and depended on her grandmother must be very painful and desperate after losing her only relative.
It was hard for him to imagine how Mo Qing persevered at that time, and how he maintained such an optimistic attitude now.
He asked in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Then Mo Qing's parents have died?" ”
Jiang Jingyuan sighed, "No, Mo Qing's mother is unmarried and pregnant, and no one knows who Mo Qing's father is." After Mo Qing's mother gave birth to Mo Qing, she abandoned her and married in other places. Never came back. Mo Qing was raised by his grandmother since he was a child.
Mo Qing's mother is hateful, but the man who abandoned Mo Qing's mother is even more hateful. In those days, you can imagine how much pressure a woman had to endure to get pregnant before marriage. The man was a shrunken turtle, but he didn't take on any of the responsibilities he should have shouldered. In the end, I took pity on Mo Qing. ”
Xu Tingyan felt that Mo Qing was really pitiful and distressing. He also hated the man who abandoned Mo Qing's mother, and Mo Qing's mother was too irresponsible.
