Rebirth of the 90s: Dear Cub
Chapter 38: Life is not easy, there is a last resort
Bring Goudan and two pieces of chestnut cake, Qiqi is not stingy, and returns a bunch of loquats.
The two little children were sitting in the courtyard, chatting while eating.
The night sky in this village is very beautiful, full of stars and bright moon.
The children chatted and laughed from time to time, and the silent courtyard came to life.
Zhang Xifeng picked up a bench and sat at the door of the main hall, shaking the cattail fan to calm himself down, with a slight smile on his face.
A day like that is so good.
"My father said there was an ocean in a big city there, but it was so big that you couldn't see the end of it at a glance. Waves coming from the sea can overturn humans!"
"They usually return only after the Lunar New Year, and they leave after the New Year. My mother said I was taller than I was last year. Isn't that bullshit? If I hadn't gotten taller, I wouldn't have been a short winter melon?"
"After I get back, I can't take care of everything. I can't eat less, and I can't shower later. It sucks! Especially my mother, is a woman special in nagging?"
"I won't tell you anymore, I have to go back, my mother told me to go to bed at eight, if I didn't listen to her, she would twist my ears!"
Goudan left in a hurry after a long time without playing.
Qiqi suspected he had come here to show off.
Moreover, the person who said he would sleep back did not go towards the house of Qiqi. He saw her turn in a small fork of the road on the left, which was the direction towards Huazi's house.
Qiqi placed a small stool in the courtyard towards the main hall, inserted two fingers of a box-shaped chestnut cake, and inserted a piece into the mouth of her mother-in-law.
She crouched down at the old woman's feet, tasted the scent of chestnut cookies, and smiled with crooked eyes, "Mother-in-law, Big Brother Goudan is very happy today."
Zhang Xifeng waved the cattail fan around the baby several times to repel the mosquitoes, and his smile widened, "How could you be unhappy? It is natural that a baby loves his parents. Every year during the New Year, when the migrant workers return, they are children in the village. "The happiest day ever."
Qi Qi froze for a moment, but did not speak.
Two somewhat hazy faces appeared in his mind, but the most obvious was their gloomy and evil eyes, the image of them lifting up the staff and falling onto his body.
"Eggy, is it normal for babies to love their parents? But I don't seem like this..." Qiqi pursed her lips, lowering her eyelashes to cover her downcast eyes, "I don't miss her at all, am I a brat?"
The little baby was squatting there, his figure was thin and slender, and he was in the shape of a very small ball.
Feeling depressed and dazed, like a small animal lost in the rain, standing in the mud, his eyes full of sorrow and pain.
The little egg man looked at the small figure, and suddenly wanted to extend a hand and touch his head.
"You're fine," he said.
"really? But I don't want Mom and Dad."
"it's not your fault."
The young man's indifferent voice gently entered the baby's ears, and he said, "That's because they're too bad."
There was a wind blowing inside the house, blowing from the baby's hair, as strong as a boy's voice, with an awkward tenderness.
Waer blinked his eyes, pursed his lips and smiled gently.
He turned around and buried his head in the old woman's lap, "Qiqi has no parents, it's enough that Qiqi has a mother-in-law."
She added sweetly in her heart, "It's enough for me to have a mother-in-law and a ball."
The little egg man lay on his back, with his head resting on his arm, and the corner of his mouth raised.
Hmph, that sweet-mouthed little sycophant.
…
Before I opened my eyes to Qiqi in the morning, I suddenly heard a clattering sound from the roof, like a dense drum, overwhelming.
The rain in July came as quickly as expected, and was urgent and heavy.
The bedroom window was not closed, and half the wooden table near the window was instantly wet.
The old and the young wake up and immediately get out of bed, find pots and buckets in the house, and put them where the rainwater leaks, he said, otherwise the soil will drip water after a while.
During this period, Chen Jianhe and several old men in the village rushed over wearing raincoats and rain hats, as well as installing stairs to help fix the roof when it was raining.
Seeing the rain water dripping from the house gradually diminishing, Zhang Xifeng heaved a sigh of relief, "Thank you for your help, otherwise, when the rain stops, "Thank you for your help, my house won't have anywhere to set foot."
“They are all in the same village, so what kind of kind words are you talking about?” Said the man on the escalator at the entrance of the hall, "We discussed with us before Jianhe, and were planning to fix the roof of your house as soon as possible, but then we were busy selling melons, so it was delayed. Who knew it would rain as soon as it was announced, and it would be so heavy."
“It looks like the rain won't stop for a while, and it's just time to irrigate our rice fields.” This joke makes everyone laugh.
While busy and chatting, there was a sound from far away through the rain curtain.
"Mommy's dad!"
"Dad!"
"Back!"
"Mom! Come back!"
Roaring with a crying voice, hoarse and piercing the heart.
Qi Qi listened carefully, his brows furrowed, "Mother-in-law, it looks like Tie Jun's brother."
Zhang Xifeng also heard it, worry appearing in his eyes, "What's wrong with this? Why are you crying like this? I'll go and see!"
“Hey, you don't need to go, the boy is angry.” The escalator owner sighed. “His parents had to get back to work, and they left before dawn this morning. I was worried that the baby would get into trouble, so I didn't dare to tell him. Quietly.”
"What do you think they think? Afraid that the baby would make a sound, they left quietly. Wouldn't it be sadder if the baby couldn't find his parents when they woke up?" said another old man. .
Hence, next everyone was a little silent.
Situations like Goudan's house were not uncommon in the villages.
Many villagers were working, and most of them went to coastal towns in neighboring provinces. The distance is far and the cost of a round trip, so they can only come back at most once a year during the Lunar New Year. Year.
The children, how happy they were when their parents were there for the Lunar New Year, and how sad they cried when they separated after the New Year.
But what can I do?
Life is not easy.
The community is poor and life is very difficult.
If given a choice, who would want to part with his closest relatives?
There is a last option.
Qi was leaning against the door of the main hall, quietly looking outside.
The rain was like a curtain, and it descended profusely and profusely, giving rise to a misty mist in the air.
The sky was gloomy, and the entire world seemed to be enveloped by this heavy rain, and was extremely silent.
Even the sounds of immature cries and wails gradually weakened under the sound of the rushing rain, and were finally buried by the sound of the rain.
A rag-like figure hurriedly appeared outside Zhang's small courtyard, "Aunt Zhang, did the dog come to your place?"
It was Grandma Goudan, Xu came out in a hurry, he did not even wear a rain hat, he simply pulled the raincoat to cover his head a little.
Rain drenched his face, gray hair stuck to his face in a mess, and water dripped onto his old face. He did not care at all, and his eyes were full of worry.
Zhang Xifeng walked out under the rain roof, and also became anxious, "He didn't come, what's up, the baby is done?"
Goudan's grandmother nodded indiscriminately, and wiped the rainwater off her face casually, "This brat is grumpy. I asked several houses along the way and found no one. It's raining, why are you running... Oh, I'm going to another house. Find it!"
"Wait a minute, I'll give you a rain hat," Zhang Xifeng said as he took the rain hat.
Outside the courtyard, Grandma Goudan rushed away, impatient to put on the rain hat.
