Chapter 38 Life is not easy, there is a last resort

Bring Goudan and two pieces of chestnut cake, Qiqi was not stingy, and returned a bunch of loquats.

The two little ones were sitting in the yard, chatting while eating.

The night sky in the village is very beautiful, full of stars and bright moonlight.

The children chatted and laughed from time to time, and the quiet yard became lively.

Zhang Xifeng took a stool and sat at the door of the main room, shaking a cattail fan to cool off, with a slight smile on her face.

Such a day is really good.

"My father said that there is an ocean in the big city over there, but it's so big that you can't see the end at a glance. The waves coming from the sea can overturn people!"

"They used to come back only after the Chinese New Year, and they left after the New Year. My mother said that I grew taller than last year. Isn't that nonsense? If I don't grow taller, I won't be a short winter melon?"

"As soon as I come back, I can't take care of things. I can't eat less, and I can't take a bath later. It's annoying! Especially my mother, are women special at nagging?"

"I won't tell you anymore, I have to go back, my mother told me to go to bed at eight o'clock, if I don't listen to her, she will twist my ears!"

Goudan left in a hurry after not playing for long.

Qiqi suspects that he came here to show off.

Besides, the person who said he was going back to sleep didn’t go in the direction of home. Qiqi saw him turning to the small fork road on the left, which was the direction to Huazi’s house.

Qiqi put the small stool in the yard into the main room, put **** of a boxy chestnut cake, and stuffed a piece into her mother-in-law's mouth.

She squatted at the old woman's feet, tasted the smell of chestnut cake, and smiled with crooked eyes, "Mother-in-law, Brother Goudan is very happy today."

Zhang Xifeng waved the cattail fan around the baby a few times to drive away the mosquitoes, and his smile stretched, "How can you be unhappy? It's natural for a baby to love his parents. Every year during the New Year, when the migrant workers come back, they are the children in the village." happiest day ever."

Qi Qi froze for a moment, but didn't speak.

Two somewhat blurred faces appeared in her mind, but the clearest one was their gloomy and mean eyes, the image of them holding up sticks and falling on her body.

"Eggy, is it natural for babies to love their parents? But I don't seem to be like this..." Qiqi pursed her lips, lowered her eyelashes to cover her downcast eyes, "I don't miss them at all, am I a bad boy?"

The little baby squatted there, his figure was thin and thin, and he was a very small ball.

Feeling depressed and dazed all over his body, like a little beast lost in the rain, standing in the mud, his eyes are full of sadness and injury.

The little egg man looked at the small figure, and suddenly wanted to reach out and touch her head.

"You're fine," it said.

"Really? But I don't want Mom and Dad."

"it's not your fault."

The indifferent voice of the young man gently passed into the baby's ears, and he said, "It's because they are too bad."

There was a wind blowing in the house, blowing over the top of the baby's hair, the strength was the same as the boy's voice, with an awkward softness.

Waer blinked her eyes, pursed her lips and smiled softly.

She turned around and buried her head in the old woman's lap, "Qiqi doesn't have parents, it's enough for Qiqi to have a mother-in-law."

She added sweetly in her heart, "It's enough for me to have my mother-in-law and my balls."

The little egg man lay on his back, with his head resting on his arms, and the corners of his mouth raised.

Hmph, sweet-mouthed little sycophant.

…

Before I opened my eyes on Qiqi in the morning, I heard a sudden pattering sound from the roof, like a dense drum, overwhelming.

The rain in July came as soon as it was said, and it was urgent and severe.

The window of the room was not closed, and half of the wooden table by the window was wet in an instant.

The Zhang family’s house has been going on for a long time, and the roof tiles are loose and leaking in many places, and the rainwater rushes in.

The old and the young got up and got out of bed immediately, found the pots and buckets at home, and put them in the place where the rain leaked, otherwise, the ground would drip water after a while.

During this period, Chen Jianhe and several old men in the village rushed over wearing raincloths and rain hats, and set up ladders to help repair the roof in the rain.

Seeing that the rainwater dripping from the house gradually decreased, Zhang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief, "Thanks to your help, otherwise when the rain stops, my house will have no place to set foot."

"They're all in the same village, so what kind words are you talking about?" said the gentlemen on the escalator at the entrance of the hall, "We discussed with us before Jianhe, and planned to repair the roof of your house as soon as possible, but then we were busy selling melons, so it was delayed Who knew that the rain would fall as soon as it was said, and it would be so heavy."

"It seems that the rain won't stop for a while, and it's just time to irrigate our fields." This joke made everyone laugh.

While busy and chatting, a voice came from far away through the rain curtain.

"Dad, Mom!"

"dad!"

"Come back!"

"Mom! Come back!"

Roaring with a crying voice, hoarse and heart-piercing.

Qi Qi listened intently, her eyebrows furrowed, "Mother-in-law, it seems to be brother Tie Jun."

Zhang Xifeng also heard it, worry appeared in his eyes, "What's wrong with this? Why are you crying like this? I'll go and have a look!"

"Hey, you don't need to go, the little boy is having a temper." The escalator master sighed, "His parents have to go back to work, and they left early this morning before dawn. I was worried that the baby would be troubled, so I didn't dare to tell him. Quietly."

"What do you think they are thinking? Afraid that the baby will make a fuss, they will go away quietly. Isn't it even more sad that the baby can't find their parents when they wake up?" another old man said.

Having said that, everyone was a little silent next.

Situations like Goudan’s house are not uncommon in the village.

Many people in the village go out to work, and most of them go to coastal cities in neighboring provinces. The distance is long and the round-trip fares are expensive, so they can only come back once a year at most during the Chinese New Year.

Those children, how happy they are when their parents are around during the Chinese New Year, and how sad they cry when they are separated after the New Year.

But what can I do?

Life is not easy.

People are poor, and life is especially difficult.

Given a choice, who would want to be separated from their closest relatives?

There is a last resort.

Qi Qi leaned against the door of the main room, quietly looking outside.

The rain was like a curtain, and the rain fell heavily and urgently, stirring up misty mist in the air.

The sky was gloomy, and the whole world seemed to be enveloped in this heavy rain, and it was very quiet.

Even that immature crying and roaring sound gradually weakened in the sound of the torrential rain, and was finally buried by the sound of the rain.

A figure in a raincloth hurriedly appeared outside Zhang's small courtyard, "Aunt Zhang, did the dog come to your place?"

It’s Grandma Goudan, Xu came out in a hurry, she didn’t even wear a rain hat, she just pulled a rain cloth to cover her head slightly.

The rain wet her face, the gray hair stuck to her face in a mess, and the water dripped down that old face. She couldn't care about it at all, and her eyes were full of worry.

Zhang Xifeng walked outside under the rain eaves, and also became anxious, "He didn't come, what's the matter, the baby ran out?"

Grandma Goudan nodded indiscriminately, and wiped the rainwater off her face casually, "This kid has a bad temper. I asked several houses along the road and found no one. It's raining heavily, why are you running around... Oh, I'll go to another house Find it!"

"Wait a minute, I'll get you a rain hat." Zhang Xifeng said, going to get the rain hat.

Outside the courtyard, Grandma Goudan had left in a hurry, unable to wait to put on a rain hat.
