Next Chapter

Bozhou (1), also known as Ji Fang, Qiaocheng, belongs to Anhui Province, a national historical and cultural city, since ancient times there are many talents, pre-Qin Zhuangzi, the Three Kingdoms Cao Cao, Hua Tuo and so on are all from this.

It is one of the central cities of Anhui Province and the direct radiation area of the Yangtze River Delta Economic Circle, enjoying the reputation of "Pharmaceutical Capital".

It borders Henan Province in the west, Fuyang City in the south, Huaibei City and Bengbu City in the east, and Huainan City in the southeast. The thoroughfare of the nine provinces, the key of Zhongzhou.

In a classroom in Bozhou College and Duxing Building. Wu Fuyang sat at his desk and reviewed his textbook.

"The pond was full of water, and the rain stopped,

The mud on the edge of the field is full of your uncle (loach).

Every day I wait for you, wait for you to catch your uncle,

Is the little cub good,

Let's go catch your uncle......"

With a loud singing voice, Zheng Lei walked in with an emerald green grass stalk in his mouth.

The singing did not stop, and a slap was slapped on Wu Fuyang's shoulder, and the attack was neither light nor heavy, and the strength was surprisingly large. He shouted, "Yo! I'm about to graduate, and I'm still so serious?"

Wu Fuyang was watching it intently, and was suddenly shocked by his slap in the heart, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he couldn't help but scold angrily: "Your sister, scare Lao Tzu and cheat the corpse!"

Zheng Lei is Wu Fuyang's classmate and small, outgoing, lively and active, although he doesn't like to study much, but he is very smart, his grades have always been in the middle, and there is a lot of room for development. belongs to the ranks of those who grind guns in battle, and are not happy and light.

The two of them are not far from each other, and they usually go back together after school. The two of them were in the same class when they were in junior high school, but they didn't expect to get together in a classroom again when they went around the university.

Zheng Lei smiled and said, "Who do you guess I saw in the morning?"

Wu Fuyang glanced at him and said, "I'm not an immortal, who do you see, how do I know!"

"I saw Xiao Xue. Zheng Lei said disbelievingly: "She is getting more and more beautiful now, tsk! If the skin is congealed and blown, the face and the figure can be broken....... Standard disaster for the country and the people!"

"Oh!" Wu Fuyang couldn't help but feel a faint tingling in his heart when he heard this name, and his mood plummeted.

Wu Fuyang's father Wu Long and Xiao Xue's father Xiao Feng do business on the same street, both dealing in building materials, but the categories are different.

One operates plumbing and the other acts as an agent for lighting. often do promotions and activities together, so the two families have a close relationship.

Wu Fuyang has been playing with Xiao Xue since he was a child, a childhood sweetheart, and has a good relationship.

Unexpectedly, five years ago, Wu Fuyang's father was careless and accidentally entered the bureau set up by a professional liar and was deceived of more than 2 million. Due to the rupture of the capital chain, banks and microfinance companies also withdrew loans in advance.

In order to repay his debts, Wu Long had to sell his real estate goods.

Seeing years of hard work come to naught overnight, coupled with years of hard work, Wu Long fell ill in a fit of anger, and since then, the medicine has continued, and the business has been declining and slumping.

On the contrary, Xiao Feng has been operating steadily, and after years of accumulation, there are more than 100 dealers of all sizes in Bozhou City. In addition, in recent years, the government has sounded the clarion call for poverty alleviation and the whole people to become well-off, and under the guidance of the party's policy support, business is getting better and better.

Three years ago, Xiao Feng invested in a factory in the provincial capital of Hefei and moved his family away.

Although Wu Fuyang and Xiao Xue have long been secretly in love, they can't stop the wheel of fate and crush them mercilessly.

Due to the growing gap between the two families, Wu Fuyang felt inferior.

In this way, the two gradually broke off contact under Wu Fuyang's intentional or unintentional estrangement.

She also followed a man, looking at his dress, eighty percent is a rich second generation, a rich son. Zheng Lei's broken mouth seemed to have opened a valve, and he chattered in Wu Fuyang's ear: "Oh, that's right." He also asked me about you and asked me how you were doing. ”

"Enough!" Wu Fuyang said loudly in distraughtness: "You're endless, I don't want to know anything about her, shut your beak!"

The classmates next to him were laughing in twos and threes, and they were suddenly attracted by this voice, and they all cast surprised eyes.

Wu Fuyang was stunned for a moment, then packed up his books without saying a word, got up and left.

I only heard a whispering voice behind me: "Oh my God! I didn't expect my (Wu) son to curse!"

Because at the end of last year, I don't know when and where the new pneumonia broke into Wuhan, and it spread to the whole country. Under the government's leadership, people across the country are quarantined at home. During the Qingming Dynasty, Wu Fuyang did not go home to sweep his mother's grave.

was troubled by Zheng Lei in the morning, and Wu Fuyang was in a bad mood. So in the afternoon, Wu Fuyang did not go to the classroom.

He spent fourteen yuan to take the car back to Lisin's hometown, to the place where his life began, to sweep his mother's grave.

Wu Fuyang's mother died very early, and when he was five years old, he fell ill due to confinement when he gave birth to his younger brother Wu Fuming. The disease was previously difficult to treat and prone to recurrence.

At that time, the whole country was still very poor, and the sanitary conditions in small counties and rural areas were very poor. Wu's mother was treated intermittently for two years, draining the family. In the end, he passed away and died.

At that time, he was only seven years old, and his younger brother Wu Fuming was not yet three weeks old, waiting to be fed in swaddling clothes.

After his mother died, his father fostered him and his younger brother in the homes of his fifth and fourth fathers respectively, and went out to work alone to earn money to support the family.

When he was a child, Wu Fuyang did not do much, and he did not shed a single tear at his mother's funeral. Just standing in the corner of the wall, silently watching my father and grandmother's house, some people weeping.

It wasn't until later that I gradually learned the sentence sung in the ballad, "Only mothers are good in the world, and mothers' children are like a treasure, thrown into their mother's arms, and happiness cannot be enjoyed." Only mothers are good in the world, and children without mothers are like grass. Leaving the arms of my mother, where to find happiness .......".

It's a pity that since the death of his mother, he has gradually tasted the warmth and coldness of the world and has gradually learned to be strong.

After all, grass doesn't cry.

Only on an unknown night, he really couldn't bear the grievances, no one embraced him, no one to confide in. He couldn't help it, and hid under the covers in the dead of night and cried secretly.

He vaguely remembered that his mother was small, with waist-length braids behind her back, and her skin was a little dark. But she loves cleanliness very much, and when Wu Fuyang is beaten, her mother will protect her.

Calculate carefully, the person who once protected him has been gone for twelve years.

Wu Fuyang knelt in front of his mother's grave and said to himself: "Mom, are you doing well over there? Do you miss me, do you miss your father and younger brother? Dad is old now, and his health is not good, a few days ago, he went to the hospital to be screened for cancer, and his younger brother was not obedient, and now I am the only one in the family who can be the pillar, what should I do?

The Buddha said that there are three sufferings in the world: resentment, love, separation, and unwantedness. I have studied hard since I was a child, and I was admitted to the school I wanted to study, but I couldn't get in; Originally, I thought that when I grew up, I would be able to control my own destiny and live the life I wanted, but the reality is not like this. Now my father and brother and I live in low-cost housing and rely on government assistance. Why is there so much suffering in the world, or is it because I owe something in my last life, I'm so tired! I really want to talk to someone! Mom, can you hear me talking to you?"

Wu Fuyang knelt for a long time, burned the paper money in a daze, and the sky gradually darkened.

"Mom, I should go back!" Wu Fuyang kowtowed, stood up, stretched out his hand to caress the somewhat mutilated tombstone, and suddenly felt a pain in his fingers, and the red blood flowed down the tombstone on the ground, soaking into the soil.

Wu Fuyang hurriedly retracted his hand, put his finger in his mouth and sucked it for a while, reluctantly glanced at the name on the tombstone, and said softly: "I'll come back to see you when I'm free!"

After Wu Fuyang finished speaking, he brushed aside the waist-deep weeds, turned around and left, and walked away.
