what is the relationship between us

At the end of 2008, the spring breeze of the international competition in the capital could not blow into the small closed village in the southwest, and the villagers in the village were still immersed in the fear brought about by the great earthquake in May.Not just fear, but loss.What is lost is not only financial resources, but also the talents who are buried in bricks and tiles forever and never can climb out are even more heartbreaking.

It can almost be said that it is still in ruins. Even the office of the village committee is built with prefabricated houses, let alone the settlement of the villagers not far away.

The threshold of the prefabricated house is a bit high, Wan Junxiu can't get in, so he can only wait outside.There was light rain as thin as a cow's hair, and Wan Junxiu's fingers could not move freely, and he couldn't hold an umbrella.He simply braced himself and waited in the rain. Fortunately, the rain was not heavy. Fortunately, the marching jacket he was wearing was thick enough and waterproof.

Fortunately, most of his body was unconscious, and he didn't feel how cold it was.

He saw a person running towards him in the distance, probably because the road was not easy to walk, and that person was not fast even if he was trotting.However, Wan Junxiu's heart was lifted higher and higher as the woman walked in, and even his paralyzed hand resting on the steel ring trembled slightly.

Meng Xiufen came to Wan Junxiu and looked him up and down several times.

No matter how excited Wan Junxiu was, he couldn't stand being scrutinized like this.Silently pray for your body to catch your breath, and don't make a fool of yourself at this time.He knew that he was severely disabled, and that his body was really shameful.

But if you promise your comrades-in-arms, you will definitely do it, try your best, and do it even if you risk your life.

"You are Wan Junxiu?" Standing in front of the steps, Meng Xiufen stamped vigorously on the concrete floor several times to shake off the mud from the soles of her water shoes.As a woman director for a long time, her eyes have a unique sharpness and shrewdness. She has only had a few phone calls with the man in front of her, and she has not met him in person.When we met for the first time now, what I saw was a severely disabled young man sitting in a wheelchair, which was really different from the retired soldier I imagined.

Meng Xiufen couldn't help being more vigilant, after all, it was really risky to entrust such a small child to such a person.

Fortunately, Wan Junxiu's trembling hands regained his composure. He raised his head and said with a smile, "Yes, I am Wan Junxiu. You are Director Meng, right? We're talking on the phone."

Seeing that Meng Xiufen didn't speak, Wan Junxiu raised his palm up and hooked the zipper of the backpack on his chest with his thumb and slowly opened the backpack, then lowered his head and took out a plastic bag with his mouth.

Putting the plastic bag on his lap, he raised his head and said, "Director Meng, look here are my ID card, household registration book, discharge certificate, and...disability certificate. I am really Wan Junxiu."

When it came to the disability certificate, Wan Junxiu's voice was a little soft, he wondered if he would mess things up because of the disability certificate.

Meng Xiufen took out a stack of documents from the plastic bag and checked them one by one, and confirmed that the man in front of her was indeed Wan Junxiu.

Wan Junxiu probably hadn't become like this when the ID photo was taken. The man in the photo looked very handsome and radiant.

On the other hand, the photo on the disability certificate is different.

Meng Xiufen helped Wan Junxiu put these documents into a plastic bag and returned them to him, and said to him: "The doll was found, and I went to see it just now. It's at the neighbor's house. It's nothing to worry about, it's not hurt, and it's okay." Still have the spirit, just do not speak."

Wan Junxiu breathed a sigh of relief, just be safe.Wan Junxiu said shyly, "Then his grandparents are... really gone?"

Mentioning this, Meng Xiufen's nose was also sour: "Yes, it's not like you don't know, the earthquake was so sudden. The old man couldn't run, and he was crushed under the big rock. It would be great if he could save the little one. Wan, what are you going to do now, are you really going to take the baby away? You are all like this, I'm afraid it won't work. "

"It's okay, Director Meng, I can take good care of him. I assure you, I have a source of income and a house. It's better to follow me than to send him to an orphanage." Wan Junxiu hurriedly panicked. He spoke slowly, his breath was a little unsteady.He was paralyzed in a high position, and he was a little out of breath when he spoke urgently, and his tone of speech would change.

Seeing him like this, Meng Xiufen didn't know what to do, so she could only pat him on the back to comfort him. Rural women spoke very quickly, mixed with dialect, but Wan Junxiu understood the meaning.She said: "Oh, you can't take advantage of it even if you talk (quisuo) Oh, why are you in a hurry, it's not that I won't take it away for you. You are right, we are too busy here to win, he It’s not an option to stay at the neighbor’s house, after all, I have a place to live after following you.”

Wan Junxiu nodded and agreed.

"Come on, come with me, I'll take you to him."

Wan Junxiu raised his hand, put his palm on the steel ring of the wheelchair, swung his arm vigorously to drive his limp palm, and the wheelchair started to move.

It was okay on the concrete floor of the village committee, but when I got out of the concrete floor of the prefabricated house and went to the muddy road outside, it was almost impossible for the wheelchair to move. Every time I turned the steel ring, I had to use more strength than usual.

After just a short while, Wan Junxiu's arms lost strength, and his palms were still stained with dirt from the wheels.

Meng Xiufen couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't wait for Wan Junxiu to be so slow, she still had a lot of things to do, and she didn't know how many things would be delayed when Wan Junxiu was so dawdling.She went around behind Wan Junxiu's wheelchair, pushed Wan Junxiu up and said, "Let me help you."

"I'm sorry, Director Meng."

"You're welcome."

Someone helped push it, and it was easier to walk, and after a while, I arrived at the small house where Meng Xinci boarded.

In a crumbling small bungalow with bricks falling off the wall, two little boys were playing with mud in the patio.

Based on his impression of the photos, Wan Junxiu recognized that the child in only one shirt was Meng Xinci.

On such a cold day, he was actually only wearing a single piece of clothing, and the sneakers on his feet looked like they were given to him by someone else. His little feet slid forward, leaving a lot of space at the heel.

"New Ci? Meng Xinci?" Wan Junxiu tried to call him, with a tentative tone.

Meng Xinci heard someone calling him, and raised his head to take a look.He didn't know the person in front of him, he lowered his head and continued playing with his friends, not paying any attention to Wan Junxiu.

Recently, a lot of big figures and caring people from society have come here, and all the donated things have been taken away by the boarding house, which has nothing to do with him.

Subconsciously, Meng Xinci also regarded Wan Junxiu as one of those people.

Looking up, Wan Junxiu felt even more sad, the child's face was dirty, with a bunch of messy hair, like a bird's nest.This is not as miserable as "a child without a mother is like a grass".

Wan Junxiu turned the wheelchair to get closer to Meng Xinci. Meng Xiufen was different. She directly dragged Meng Xinci up, pulled him to Wan Junxiu and said, "Son, this is your father's comrade-in-arms named Wan Junxiu." , he came to pick you up. You are going to live with him, why don't you hurry up and call uncle."

Hearing his father, Meng Xinci finally had some reaction, raised his head and looked at Wan Junxiu: "My father? I haven't seen you, I want my father."

Wan Junxiu didn't know how to explain to children of this age group that his father had already honored this matter, and he was even more worried that talking about it at this juncture would cause a greater blow to him who had just lost his grandparents.

Wan Junxiu raised his hand, gently wiped off the mud spots on Meng Xinci's face with the back of his clean hand, and said softly to him: "Xinci, your father... your father Meng Tian is still in the frontier, maybe you are still young I don’t know, your father is a border guard and he can’t come back yet. He told me to let me take you to the place where I live now. I will take care of you first and send you to school. When your father’s mission is over, he will I'm here to pick you up. Would you like to come with me?"

"Then why are you able to come back?" Little Meng stared at Wan Junxiu with disbelief.

"Because... I was injured and I can no longer be in the team." Although I was explaining to the children, when I mentioned that I was injured, I still felt a little pain in my heart.

Meng Xiufen was still beating on the side, analyzing for the child in an orderly manner.It's nothing more than that this is a neighbor's house, Meng Xinci can't stay here all the time, it's a good thing someone comes to pick him up.

The child was still reticent and didn't speak, just looked at Wan Junxiu coldly.Meng Xinci didn't want to follow the person in front of him. He knew that he would be sent to the orphanage in the city in two days, and Meng Xiang, his best friend in class, would go with him.The two children did not know when they agreed to go to the same orphanage together, and they would be at the same table when they could go to school.

The two of them were born in the same year, and they are both 12 years old. They probably couldn't find an adoptive family.Meng Xiang's grades are not as good as Meng Xinci's. Considering that going to college is more expensive, Meng Xinci made an appointment with Meng Xiang to go to a technical school together, and then go to the provincial capital to work after graduation.

At this time, a person appeared and said that he would adopt Meng Xinci and take him away.

What are you kidding? !

Finally, Meng Xiufen got annoyed, patted Meng Xinci on the head and scolded loudly: "What kind of idiot are you, melon boy, you don't want someone to support you, you go and collect things yourself, and go with someone else today. "

Meng Xinci was slapped like this, and tears fell down.He knew that the man in front of him was not a bad person, but he couldn't accept the fact that he was going to be taken away.

Big drops of tears fell down his face, his eyes widened and he stared blankly at Wan Junxiu, his brows and eyes were full of disgust.Facing Wan Junxiu's gaze, he turned his head away from him.

"Director, don't tell the child like that, he is still young, take your time." Wan Junxiu hooked his body and put his arms around the child, wiping away his tears tremblingly.

"Small? You're too old to be young, 12 years old is still young." Meng Xiufen was a little impatient, and dragged Meng Xinci into the back room.

Meng Xinci pulled Meng Xiufen's hand away, and yelled at Wan Junxiu word by word: "Who wants you to intercede with me! Who wants you to pick me up!" Then he ran outside, kid He ran very fast, before Meng Xiufen and Wan Junxiu could react, he turned the corner and disappeared.

Meng Xiufen came back to her senses, said haha ​​to Wan Junxiu, turned her head and chased after him: "The baby is not sensible, I will go and catch him, don't worry, he will definitely follow you."

Wan Junxiu also went out, the rain had not stopped, and Wan Junxiu was worried that the child would catch a cold because of the lack of clothes.

He knew in his heart that no one could accept such a thing for a while, and a little emotion was inevitable.When you find Meng Xinci, persuade him well, the child can figure it out, and he will go with him.

Meng Xinci stood in an open space panting heavily. He had been running for a long time, but he couldn't run anymore.

Originally, he planned to run to Meng Xiang's place to hide, but he realized that Meng Xiang was going to the clinic to change his medicine today when he got to the board room where Meng Xiang lived temporarily.There were other people in the board room, he didn't have the nerve to go in, so he could only turn around and run further away.

Anyway, couldn't let the man in the wheelchair find him.If he can't find it, he will go back, so he doesn't have to follow him.

Meng Xinci stood in the open space for a long time, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the shoes that didn't fit her feet would wear on her feet like rowing a boat.

He estimated the time, the man should have left.Then he walked back slowly, thinking all the way to wait for Meng Xiang to come back, so he took Meng Xiang to ask when the two of them would be able to go to the orphanage.

On the way home, Meng Xinci saw a familiar face again.It's so hard to die, and it's those two faces that he doesn't want to see the most now.
