41 Regret

Friendly recommendation: A new type of otherworldly mainland novel "Banmen Lane Fu".

.................................

When Lin Yifei and Liu Mingli walked out side by side, it was already noon, and the migrant workers were returning for lunch.

Maybe a dozen yuan a day is just a meal and a pack of cigarettes for many people, but for them, it is likely to be the seed money, fertilizer money, children's tuition fees, and even life-saving money that the family urgently needs......

Without exception, they all serve an enamel jar, the outside of the jar is mottled with pieces of paint, and it looks like it has been used for a few years, and there are a few taels of rice in the jar, a little greens, and a little better can also have a little fat and meat.

The tweeter on the construction site also sounded, playing a pop song, the slightly hoarse voice of the male singer came from the vicissitudes of life, and the migrant workers who ate couldn't help humming a few words.

"This kind of meal only costs five pieces a piece. Liu Mingli said suddenly.

Looking at the migrant workers who walked by one after another, they found a random place to sit down and bury their heads in eating, Lin Yifei sighed with emotion, "You seem to be familiar with it too." ”

"That's right," Liu Mingli stopped and looked at the migrant workers, "It's just that when I used to, I couldn't eat this kind of food." ”

"Oh?" Lin Yifei raised his eyebrows, not knowing that Liu Mingli, who was now well-dressed, still had an unbearable past, and he didn't understand why he mentioned this.

"I was twelve years old when my dad died," Liu Mingli said lightly, as if telling someone else's business.

Lin Yifei listened quietly, he knew that Liu Mingli would not say a childhood incident to win the sympathy of others, and he also knew when to ask questions and when to just listen.

"My mother was also very sick at that time, so I could go out and steal something for my mother, sell it for money, and buy some medicine," Liu Mingli said lightly: "It's the same as Pi Er who didn't hesitate to rob the road in order to heal his mother." "He seems to know a lot of things, including Pi Er's affairs.

Lin Yifei was silent, how many people can understand and experience a teenager in order to survive and let his mother live?

"But my mother's illness is getting worse and worse, and I steal from my neighbors, although I don't say anything, but they are really not much richer than my family, not to mention that they usually help our mother and son, as if they never knew that I stole from them. Liu Mingli's tone is still plain, maybe after more than ten years, many things look back, and I am surprised to find how I survived, but the original pain has become an aftertaste.

Perhaps, when I reminisce, I am like a wounded wolf, I can only hide in a corner where no one is and lick my wounds in pain!

"Then I went to dig coal, and in order to get the contractor of the coal mine to take me in, I said that I was eighteen. Liu Mingli said slowly: "But the contractor doesn't believe it, let me prove it to him." ”

"How to prove it?" Lin Yifei couldn't help but ask.

"Carrying a basket of more than 80 pounds of coal along the inclined tunnel, about 500 meters, and then sent to a place a mile away, about half an hour at a time, three cents at a time. The traffic in that area is inconvenient, and the cars and horses can't get in, so they use people as cattle and horses. Liu Mingli still looked at the group of migrant workers.

Lin Yifei clenched his fists, but could only be silent.

"I was only fourteen years old at the time," Liu Mingli said slowly, "but in order to be able to stay, I don't know where I got the strength to do this, and I carried it back and forth seven times that day! ”

"What happened later?" Lin Yifei asked with a sigh.

"Later, I stayed as I wished," Liu Mingli was still so calm, "Pi Er, they are actually similar to me, a tiring day, except for eating, there is not much left, so they can only save when eating." ”

Glancing at Liu Mingli, Lin Yifei suddenly said, "But I think your current physique is not bad." ”

"It's good now," Liu Mingli smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, "but at the beginning, I had a steamed bun and drank tap water for a day, because I had to leave the money for my mother's medical treatment." ”

"What happened to my aunt in the end?" Lin Yifei was a little apprehensive in his heart, three cents for half an hour, even if he didn't sleep for a day, it was only a few dozen yuan, not to mention how long could he support a teenager?

"My mom is still alive, which is at least a good thing for me. Liu Mingli said slowly.

Lin Yifei let out a sigh, but was a little puzzled: "I don't think you can earn much money in a day, but the money you earn from carrying coal can cure your aunt's illness?"

"Of course not, if I hadn't met my boss later, I wouldn't have cured my mother's illness, even my own life might have been thrown away in the coal mine. Liu Mingli listened to the song playing on the loudspeaker, his eyes were a little confused, it was a song "Children Who Left Home".

Children who are away from home

Wandering outside

There are no good clothes

There is no good smoke either

It's hard to find a job

Work hard

Tears flowed down my heart

I was sweating all over my face

Children who are away from home

I couldn't sleep at night

I think of my father and mother in the distance

Tears

Spring has bloomed

Autumn deciduous yellow

It's snowing in winter

Don't catch a cold

The moon is full, the moon is full

Another year has passed since the moon is full

It's not that this kid is unconcerned in my heart

Life in a foreign land is really hard!

There were vicissitudes in the hoarse voice, and the migrant workers around them all stopped eating, quietly listening to the songs of the loudspeakers, and their eyes were as if they were Liu Mingli, although some of them were half a hundred years old, but there were also teenagers who had just come into contact with the society, but they were very homesick and missed the moment when they could meet their relatives during the New Year, maybe that was the motivation for them to survive!

"I like this song very much, and I often listen to it when I'm alone," Liu Mingli smiled a little bitterly: "It's just that I haven't really worked outside, I haven't suffered that kind of hardship, it's hard to hear the taste, I think you probably don't like this kind of song, you college students may like the kind of love that dies and lives." ”

Lin Yifei shook his head, "Don't think that I had a very comfortable life in my childhood, my former brothers suffered a lot, but we have different purposes from you, he ...... Singing very well. ”

Liu Mingli glanced at Lin Yifei in some surprise, wanting to say something, but finally held back again.

"How could Baili Xiongfei find you?" Lin Yifei suddenly thought of a key question.

"Because Uncle Baili knows my father," Liu Mingli's flat tone finally had twists and turns, which was a kind of gratitude and respect from the heart!

"Uncle Baili and my father are comrades-in-arms, when they were on the front line of Laoshan, they fought side by side, but my father stayed there forever, although Uncle Baili was broken leg, but after all, he survived, he not only survived, but also found the children of the comrades who sacrificed their comrades one by one, and helped those who were in difficulty. ”

Lin Yifei suddenly understood the meaning of what the old man said, he would never let a child like Bing'er suffer in this life!

The old man certainly stopped the suffering of other people's children, but he neglected his own daughter, maybe he didn't neglect it, just because he didn't have time to take care of it, but in any case, regret has been caused!

But the uncle later found that his ability was really limited, although money is not everything, but the people he wants to help without exception are short of money, Uncle Baili pulled up his teammates, just like when they fought side by side, running and transporting all night and night. Liu Mingli finally became excited, "Do you know? He was looking for me when he came back that time, so he delayed going home." ”

Lin Yifei was stunned and speechless for a while.

The originally strong man finally choked up, clenched his fists, and said in a loud voice: "It's because of this that my uncle didn't have time to rush back and see my aunt again, this is my uncle's regret, and it's also a regret that our people can never make up!"

Two lines of tears flowed silently, crossing the sad and inexplicable face, crystal clear!
