Chapter 4

4. Call

Meng Zhaodi is also jealous of Meng Qingqing. He not only envies that Meng Qingqing studies better than her, but also envies that Meng Qingqing's uncle, uncle and sister-in-law are all working outside. He also envies that Meng Qingqing's father is a high school student, and gives Meng Qingqing such a nice and foreign name. Unlike her, Meng Zhaodi is a very local name, which often makes students laugh. However, although Meng Zhaodi is also jealous of Meng Qingqing, she is clever, and she is not so explicit as her mother. She can hide more than her mother.

Meng Qingqing took three times to fill the water tank. Because she had been working every day since she was seven years old, she didn't feel tired. Her grandmother's noodles were cooked, and her grandmother specially made an egg for Meng Qingqing. Meng Qingqing ate the noodles. It was already 7:40, so she told her grandmother and rushed to the village office.

From the Mengjia village to the village office, adults need half an hour at the fastest. Meng Qingqing can't wait to hear his father's voice. He runs all the way, so he gets to the village office in more than 20 minutes.

Meng Qingqing breathless to the village office said there is an urgent matter to call.

Knowing that Meng Qingqing was from Mengjia village, the official shook his head and said, "in other villages, there are more or less one family and two families with Li'an telephone. In your Mengjia village, you can't even install a telephone."

Meng Qingqing thought that her father had long wanted to install a landline in his home, but their Mengjia village was too remote, and there was only one family. The telecommunication bureau was not willing to pull a cable. Later, her father planned to take her and grandma to live in the provincial city, so he put it down. So every time I make a phone call, I have to go a long way to the village office.

Meng Qingqing did not explain. When he mentioned Mengjia village, people nearby knew that Mengjia village was the poorest and the most backward.

Meng Qingqing dialed the phone, excited and eager to hear her father's voice, told her she wanted to see him, he is now sick in bed, also hope to hear her voice!

But the person who answers the phone is uncle, Meng Qingqing's familiarity with this voice is no less than that of his father's.

"Uncle, why are you holding my dad's phone? Where's my dad? Put him on the phone. " Although I hate this man with a human face and a beast heart, Meng Qingqing can't fall out with him all of a sudden. Now she is small in the eyes of others and can't take on many things.

"It's Qingqing! Your father is busy with his work these days. He left the phone with me. I'll tell him what you want

Mingming's father is now lying in the hospital. Meng Zijian is still perfunctory to her. Even if he knows later, he will find reasons to say that he will not tell her in order not to let her worry. However, he does not let Meng Qingqing know that her father has been lying in the hospital bed. His real intention is not to let her contact her father and know how much property his father has.

It seems that from Meng Zijian's mouth, I can't find out any information about my father. My father's telephone is in Meng Zijian's hand. I can only go to my father's side in person to know the real situation of my father. She should try her best to save her father's life and not let her father's property fall into the hands of Meng Zijian and his wife.

Meng Qingqing also perfunctorily said: "uncle, nothing, I just miss Dad, so give him a call. Since Dad is not in, I'll hang up. "

Meng Qingqing put down the phone, thanks the village office for humanity, and hurried home. She had to find a way to persuade her grandmother to let her promise to go to Chengnan city to find her father. The 12-year-old in her previous life did not know that her father was ill, nor did she know where his father was. Of course, she did not dare to go so far to the provincial capital alone to find her father. But now she knows that her father is in the hospital and in the ward of that Department of the hospital. So even though uncle didn't tell her, she knew and could find it.

Meng Qingqing thought, while back home, but grandma is not at home, she may have gone to the field. In the countryside, there will always be endless farm work. Grandma, in her previous life, fell to the ground.

Meng Qingqing ran to the field, and her grandmother was there. Meng Qingqing patted her chest, bent down and gasped, "grandma, give me some money to do the travelling expenses. I want to see my father."

Grandma was weeding in the corn field. She put down her hoe, beat her waist and said, "did you call your father? What did he say? "

"Grandma, my father said, let me go to the provincial capital for a few days." Meng Qingqing lies.

Grandma shook her head. "How can you go alone? It's a long way. There are several trains to change. " There are more than 30 kilometers of mountain road from Mengjia village to the town, more than 70 kilometers from the town to the county, and more than 10 hours' bus from the county to the provincial city. Grandma has not been to the provincial capital, but she heard that there are so many people and cars in the provincial capital, which are as dense as the trees on the mountain. How can the granddaughter find her father with so many people and cars?

Meng Qingqing can only continue to lie to her grandmother, "grandma, my brother-in-law is just going to the provincial capital. He will send me by the way."

After hearing this, grandma was relieved. "It's good for your uncle to go with you, but you also need to walk to the town by yourself and ask if there is anyone going to town today. You can join us."

Grandma carrying a hoe and Meng Qingqing came home together. Grandma washed her hands and turned out 300 yuan for Meng Qingqing. "Qingqing, this is the fare, and the money for shopping and eating on the road. When you get to the provincial capital, don't run around. I heard that the provincial capital is very large and lost. You can't find your way home! "Meng Qingqing has lived in the provincial capital for more than ten years. She is very familiar with it. Of course, there is no problem that she can't find her home. However, she still nods to her grandmother seriously. In the past, she always hated her grandmother's nagging. After she became an orphan, how much she missed her grandmother's nagging words. No one was nagging in her ears, so no one cared.

With 300 yuan in his pocket, Meng Qingqing took his grandmother's advice and instructions on his way. She was accompanied by the village head, uncle mouse. He went to work in the town. Uncle mouse was called mouse because of his sharp mouth, thin and small. Although he was not very good, he was a straightforward and straightforward man. In his previous life, after his father died, the mouse uncle helped her and her grandmother a lot. So Meng Qingqing has a good impression on him.

Uncle mouse steps big and fast, Meng Qingqing to trot to keep up with him.
