The next afternoon.

We're going to pick up Xiao Xuan.

Dean Chen was originally busy, but he also wanted to leave more time for Xiao Xuan and the blind old man.

After Xiao Xuan went to the welfare home, he was afraid that he would not be able to come back to the market to visit the elderly.

And the old man didn't want Xiao Xuan to come back.

When we arrived, the old man was already waiting at the door with Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan lost his previous innocence and smile, and the words 'reluctant' were written all over his face.

Maybe he would rather live a hard life than be separated from the old man.

When I walked over, he didn't come towards me like he had done before, probably knowing that we were here to take him away.

"Xiao Xuan, grandpa told you yesterday, right?" I asked him.

He nodded, a slight uneasiness on his face.

"Don't you want to go to a welfare home?" I asked again.

He shook his head, his face full of reluctance: "I won't go, because I'm gone, I can't rest assured that my grandfather." ”

Dean Chen walked over, squatted next to Xiao Xuan, and asked, "Xiao Xuan, have you thought about what you want to do when you grow up?" ”

Xiao Xuan thought for a while and said, "I want to be a firefighter." ”

Dean Chen smiled: "Why do you want to be a firefighter? ”

Xiao Xuan said: "In the future, when I go to the big city to put out fires, my mother may also see it and say, "Hey, isn't that my son?" ”

When he said this, he had a shy smile on his face.

Although his mother abandoned him, he still wanted to be his mother's pride.

Dean Chen took a breath, calmed down his emotions, and said earnestly: "But to be a firefighter, we need to read, learn knowledge, no matter what we want to do in the future, we have to study, I am the director of the welfare home, and I will be your parent in the future, I will let you go to study with peace of mind and learn a lot of things." ”

"If you don't study, you won't be a firefighter in the future, and your mother won't see you put out fires."

Xiao Xuan didn't speak, and looked back at the blind old man.

The old man groped and pulled Xiao Xuan's shoulders and said, "Xuan Zai, have you forgotten what Grandpa told you yesterday, Dean Chen is a good person, and he is even better than Grandpa to you." ”

"Grandpa also wants to live a good life, and when you have a good life in the future, grandpa can follow you to live a good life, and you have to study to have a good life."

Xiao Xuan wanted to cry a little, but he held it back again.

I have never seen a child's forbearance so strong, he held back his tears, and said to the old man, "But when I have a chance, it will take a long, long time, and at that time, you will be gone." ”

The old man smiled: "Grandpa's body is to live a long life, and I haven't waited for you to honor me, so I'm not willing to do it." Xuan Zai, listen to grandpa, if you go early, grandpa will be able to wait for you to come back early. ”

Xiao Xuan didn't insist anymore, and nodded: "Then I'll go, I'll study hard, you have to wait for me, I'll pick you up and live in a big city." ”

"Okay, okay."

The old man stood up and took Xiao Xuan's hand: "Grandpa will send you, our Xuanzi will go to the big city soon, okay, great, grandpa is very happy." ”

Xiao Xuan didn't have much stuff, just a few clothes, and a brand new school bag.

The schoolbag was bought for him by the old man.

We followed behind and watched the old man take Xiao Xuan's hand and walk out of the alley.

This may be the heaviest part of the old man's life, the moment he decided to send Xiao Xuan away, he didn't plan to let Xiao Xuan come back, he hoped that Xiao Xuan would look forward.

So, that's the last side.

When Xiao Xuan got into the car, the old man's face was already red, but he was still smiling, happy for Xiao Xuan.

What surprised me was that Xiao Xuan's face was also red, he never shed a single tear, and he didn't look back.

"Old man, go back."

Before getting into the car, I walked up to the old man and said to him: "You don't have to worry about Xiaoxuan, we will visit him when we have time, he will not suffer a little, I promise you." ”

The old man nodded: "Thank you, get in the car quickly, I'm afraid that the kid will be unable to help but run back later." ”

"Take care."

I got into the car and asked Song Xiaotian to drive away immediately.

After the car started, through the rearview mirror, I saw the old man crying.

He cried like a child.

I looked back at Xiao Xuan, he was being held by An Ning, tears and beads with broken threads, and they never stopped. But he didn't make a sound, just stared in the rearview mirror, wanting to look at the blind old man again.

He is only eight years old this year.

……

Back to the city.

We first booked a room in the hotel to accommodate Dean Chen and Xiao Xuan.

That welfare home is also in Lanjiang City, but it's a little far away from us, and we're going to take Xiaoxuan to see the mouse tonight, and the two brothers have to say goodbye once.

So I can only wait for tomorrow before Dean Chen will take Xiaoxuan back to the welfare home.

In the afternoon, we took Xiao Xuan to buy a lot of things, food and clothing, and bought him some stationery.

Xiao Xuan is very restrained, he has never been to a big shopping mall.

But he seems to like An Ning very much, probably because he misses his mother, and he treats An Ning as a mother.

In the evening, when it was time to go, we went to the hotel to pick up Xiao Xuan and take him to the Star Amusement Park.

When I come back to this place again, I am also full of emotion.

Once upon a time, this was the place where Du Yuwei and I met, and we were already on different paths.

Now, Xiao Xuan and the mouse meet here, and the two brothers are also different.

After seeing the mouse, Xiao Xuan's lonely mood finally became excited.

"Brother!"

He ran straight towards the mouse.

We waved at the mouse and motioned for him to take Xiao Xuan to play.

This is the first time the brothers have come to the amusement park, and it is also the last.

The mouse took Xiao Xuan's hand and left our sight.

Song Xiaotian sighed: "The fate of people and people is really wonderful, but it is so short, it would be good if the mouse and Xiaoxuan could go to the welfare home together." ”

"Wang Guofu, this old bastard who thunders and splits every day, he really doesn't do any good things, and all that bit of humanity is used to do things that lack virtue."

The seventh master shook his head: "Heaven and earth are not complete, how can life be perfect, there are always some regrets." ”

An Ning said: "How can we explain to Xiao Xuan, he won't be able to see his brother in the future...... He didn't know that the rat was dead. ”

Speaking of this, the seventh master was also very heavy, and he didn't answer directly.

For Xiao Xuan, there are two major blows, one is to leave his grandfather, and the other is to ...... The rat died.

I sighed and said, "Xiao Xuan already knows. ”

After speaking, the three of them all looked at me, and the seventh master all glared at me: "You told him?" ”

I shook my head: "If you think about it, when we picked him up today, he didn't ask the mouse the whole time, if he wanted to leave that place, how could he not mention the mouse." ”

"Moreover, Xiao Xuan has the habit of getting up in the middle of the night, and he has to go out in the middle of the night every day to pick up bottles and meet rats."

"Last night, when we went to say goodbye to the blind old man, Xiao Xuan was probably nearby, and he already knew that the mouse was dead."

"He didn't mention it because he didn't dare to face the reality, and besides, he didn't want to cause us trouble......"
